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.
