So I went on vacation last week.....Finally!

My first night I stayed in Anaheim CA.

I really wanted to see Cathy's (CHR) shop, so I let her know I was coming to town and she met me at her shop and gave me a tour! too cool!!
Was such a pleasure.

Anyhoo-
She asked me what name I was registered under at the hotel. I told her and never thought twice about it. I figured it was in case she needed to give me a message.

Imagine my surprise when I walk in the room and a gift basket is waiting and it even had a floral arrangement in it!!

I had a kool-aid grin from ear to ear! Such a classy thing to do!
And TOTALLY unexpected! No one ever sends me anything- You know how it is when you're a florist!

My husband says to me before I get to the the card "Who the hell is sending YOU flowers!!" Then I see the envelope. He was totally a little jealous at first... Then he munched down some goodies.

So a BIG public Thanks Cathy! And It was awesome to meet you!

I carted my flowers all over the place with me. lots of people asked me about them. And they even let me take them on the water taxi over to the Island! Woo Hoo! And cute little girl sat in front of me and my husband on the water taxi. We became fast friends, I think she was in love with my husband. Anyway, I pulled out a couple of the hot pink matsumotos and gave them to her. She loved 'em!



I went and saw BigTeds shop too cause Cathy made me a map and said his shop was open on Sundays.
Really big flower shop... And it is a F-L-O-W-E-R SHOP!!!

AMAZING green houses and plants. If ya ever get the chance, check out his store! I really even liked the parking lot! He has the great big giant pots with flowers and plants in them. When you pull up in his parking lot theres flower petals all over the ground. It's kinda neat! Every parking spot has flower petals. I'm not sure if it's done on purpose, but it was cool to me! Felt kinda fancy...parking on petals!
 
My favorite thing is sitting on a private beach while some one brings me drinks with whipped cream and cherries!

BUT... sometimes I forget myself, and then get a sunburn!
Yeah, I'm pretty tore up from the floor up!
I got a little toasty... My nose got the worst of it. It totally turned into a blister. That never happened before.

Get a tea bag on that burn, and don't put any lotion on it,just get a tea bag and soak in a cup of warm water, it will get rid of it,

Thanks Queen...

But it happened last Monday....So it's just about done. My nose is just a little crusty now! But the worst is over.
 
Shannon -

Glad you enjoyed the visit and I'm sorry about the burn. The ocean breeze is so cool that the heat/sun doesn't register until you run across a mirror or someone pats you on the back. ( I looked like a lobster after hitting a So Cal beach for the first time years ago.)

Our visit was fun. :) Donnie is a doll, too. (We met a 8:30 at the shop on a Sunday and our store is closed.) Glad you liked the flowers and goodies.

Told you Ted's store was 10 times bigger than ours - they occupy a full city block with the retail showroom and greenhouse (but I like our overhead just fine.)

Glad to know you guys got back to Durango and had a good time here in the OC. :)
 
Yes, both Cathy, Big Ted, and Eric are great hosts....especially when I showed up to their surprise a couple of years ago. I had hit Cathy's shop later in the working day.....toured her shop and Phil's studio....she even kicked out poor Rosie out of her own room & bed for me a place to stay. Got the full treatment from Eric and Big Ted.....Ted even showed me the famous groovy love nest up above his shop.

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THIS THE "ZILLION DOLLAR QUESTION "


IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF THE FLOWERS HAD BEEN FROM YOUR HUSBAND

My hubby gives me flowers once in a while.
But I'll tell ya it was just as nice (if not nicer) to get them from Cathy. I think maybe 'cause I wasn't expecting it.
That's the best time to get a present I think.
