Flowerdude

Proud Papa of 3 kiddos... Zac 26, Mason 21 & Olivia 17. Mad Man of Garden Delights. I am the proud papa of three, a floral designer and co-owner of Garden Delights Fine Flowers in Franklin, Tennessee. I grew up in Oklahoma (Okmulgee, Inola and OKC) and lived there till 1985. Then I moved to Nashville, TN to study Music at Belmont University. I played around in the biz for a while, toured and sang on a few recordings, but the music industry wasn't for me. Ultimately I found my way to the world of flowers and now I am a florist and truly love what I do a living. So my life consists of work, work work and being a dad... It's all good. You can check out some of my work on at www.myspace.com/gardendelights site. Add us as a Friend! I have 3 kiddos, each very precious to me. Zac, 26, is a kind hearted and people-loving young man and now college grad! He is also a globe traveler brimming with an adventureous spirit to experience the world in every possible corner and the diverse cultures it has to offer. He's been to England, Turkey, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Egypt, & Thailand among others. He is currently in Seattle, Washington "following his bliss" and waiting for the direction of the wind to change. Mason, 21, loves his music and wants to major in jam-ology. He is a tender hearted young man and a good friend to those fortunate enough to have him as a friend. He loves cracking jokes, laughing with friends and of course jammin' with the "bros". Olivia, 17 going on 28, loves music, art and people. She is a Senior (YIKES!) at Middle College High School this Fall. She has a great artistic eye and a compassionate heart that she tries to keep hidden. She has a passion for writing(really quite good at it too), creating art, being silly and at the blink of an eye she can be very deep and can pierce you with her insight and thoughts. She loves being surrounded by her friends and is a devoted and loyal friend in return. Her love for music with meaning is a passion that consumes sometimes...but it is her quest for meaning that drives it. Me, I love a cold glass of tea, the smell of dirt, peonies and lavender roses, home grown veggies (especially tomatoes), the sound of flowing water and a cool breeze on a mild day. I love to hear little kids laughing and having a good time. I love to hear anyone sing a love song to God while worshipping passionately. Work and family don't leave alot of extra time (that is true for most of us) but in that free time I love to paint (oils), in fact I just love art in general (both collecting and creating), love good music (live and recorded), good food and laughing with great friends. For me ... being surrounded by sincere love and simple laughter is the best life has to offer.
