Loads of Memorial Day Flowers

Today we got in about twenty coffin sized boxes of Memorial Day Flowers: wreaths, crosses with sprays, "pillows" that say things like mother, father, son, beloved . . . it was pretty intense opening all those boxes and getting them all priced and on display.

The most memorable customer today was a super sweet young woman . . . 18? 19? who came in with two kids, a boy and a girl, both wearing thick glasses, both probably pre-K. They spent their time choosing candy, they came up to pay, she brought out her credit card, and when I rang it through it came up "Card Lost or Stolen". Shoot! Turns out she just got a new card but was still carrying the old one, and she didn't have any other money on her . . . if I would've had $5 in my pocket I would've bought the candy for them.
