This weekend is Memorial Weekend – which was once called “Decoration Day” in order to remember those veterans who gave their lives for our wonderful country and has been celebrated since the mid-1800’s. Now, we also use this weekend to remember all our loved ones who have passed on. It is a wonderful time to take your children with you to the cemetary as you lay flowers on graves, to help them see the bigger picture of their family, and it opens up a chance to “talk” about your own memories of grandparents and special family members. Don’t miss this chance.

Inspiring 75 year old employee
At Dandelions Flowers, one of our delivery drivers, Marian Huglen, was the spotlight of a story in our city’s newspaper, The Register Guard. As the story says, Marian has overcome much hardship in her life but faces every day with a smile. She is always eager to be of help and never complains. In a time of economic hardship there is concern that more people in Marian’s demographic will have to work to make ends meet but she certainly shows it CAN be done.
