When working in a flower shop it's always nice to hear the stories. You know, the ones that are behind the reason for ordering flowers. Whether it's a first date and they want to make an impression, a "Just Thinking Of You" schmooze, or an, "I know I'm in the dog house, but can I come out now?" apology arrangement, there's always a story.
Today, for instance, I had a gentleman come in and order 36 long stemmed red roses to be sent into the city. I was more than happy to oblige and commenced in taking his order. As I rang him out I asked him the significance of the number. He told me that it was one for each year he and his beautiful bride had been married. Of course I did the, "Aw!! That's so sweet!!" routine, because I'm a sucker for love stories. But just as he was about to leave I asked him, "So, 36 years, my husband and I are working on our 4th....What's your secret?" He winked and said, "It takes a lot of laughs."
