Girls Gone Shopping

Nana, Stacey and Linda went to the Foot Hills Festival in Albany this morning. I decided not to go. They left about 9 AM and while they were gone I had a few customers buying mums. I went to town and ate lunch at Subway. As soon as I returned home more mum sales began. The girls came home about 1 PM and said that the festival was OK, but they didn't buy much. They hung around about 2 hours and headed to Campbellsville for some more shopping. I decided not to go. Mum sales increased and there were only a few mums left on the wagon. I decided to go dig some more by myself. I had dug a couple and I could hear Cooter barking, so I looked back towards the house and could see there were people around the wagon. So I unhooked the trailer and took off for home on the 4-wheeler. I sold 4 more mums and then went back to the patch. I dug 2 more and then there were more people in the yard at home, so back I went, this time I took the trailer too. I thought there wasn't any use trying to dig mums because I couldn't get anything done for having to sell them.
I was surprised this time as a woman after buying 4 mums, asked my name. I told her and she said,"Are you the Linda and Dave Norris that sent my son, Skylar, a get well card?" I told her yes, and I was glad to hear he had received it. Skylar had a heart transplant, and I told her I had read about it on the Burkesville web forum and had asked, on there, if there was an address for well wishers to send cards. She said that it was especially nice for him, since I had put a picture of Stacey and Casey riding a 4-wheeler and some cash for him to buy his 4-wheeler gas. The transplant had been done about a month ago and she said he was out riding on a 4-wheeler already. I told her how good that it was to hear that he was doing great health wise. The grandmother stated he had received over 400 cards. I told them it seemed like the whole community was pulling for him to get better. I never expected to meet them, her name was Glenda Willis, and she stated Regina and her were cousins. I said that Regina and I were cousins too. Then we had to figure out how we were both related to Regina. They said thanks and I told them thanks for buying our mums.
The girls came home about 8 PM and said the shopping had went well. Nana had bought several blouses and Stacey had found some shorts and blue jeans.
