Confused Cheryl!!!
It seems that a woman named Cheryl is very appreciative of a pointsettia given to her mother, Alberta Martone. ( thinking that Mrs. Martone is the same lady who was principal of Fremont School and later had a school named after her.) Anyway, Cheryl sent this thank you to John and Marge at Leo and Marge's address. Marge kindly sent it on to us. I opened the card since it was addressed to us, but was bewildered when she mentioned our lovely flower store. Pointsettia and flower store??? Who could that be?? So the thank you card is off to it's 3rd flight through our postal system. Speaking of pointsettias, I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful display of red next week when our Danish group purchases our pointsettias to deliver to our Danish shut-ins. ( a little side tidbit--some of our Danes born in Denmark have difficulty in pronunciation and spelling. Our recent newsletter noted that we were going to take point setters to the shut ins. HA!!
Tonight is our annual shopping tour where we choose several names off of the Soroptimist tree to purchase clothes and toys for needy children. Ben likes to get involved in this activity also. It is quite rewarding.
Attended the McHenry Mansion Tea yesterday and it was as lovely as ever with the other Marge looking so pretty in her white lacy apron ready to serve the guests. Those ladies do a fantastic job! And the tiny tasty sandwiches and delectable desserts are a special treat. olemarge
