But one shop owner I dealt with today took my breath away with how rude she was. Here's the story. My little brother plays peewee hockey on a local team. For a fundraiser they contracted with this local florist , Ambrosia Flowers, for what I initially thought was a great offer. You pay $20 and get a bouquet every month for a year.

So I'm back to watching my little brother's JV basketball games, and will be enjoying every minute. Oh yeah - and go Blues!
