Surprise!

I love you more each day

Thanks for all you do

Love Tim

That was what the card said.

The flowers were from the "right flower shop"

The flowers were from LeJardin

Problem was. . . 

The flowers didn't look like flowers from Le Jardin

WTF?

I have gotten flowers from Pat Heck's store for the last several years

And I am always Wowed

Yesterday I was not Wowed

Are the edges of the roses supposed to be browned?

The arrangement looked so . . . common

This is so not what I expect from Le Jardin

So, I made a phone call

Answering Machine

Hello, this is Le Jardin, please leave a message

"Pat, the surprise from Tim was wonderful"

"The flowers, not so wonderful"

"Are the edges of the flowers supposed to be brown?"

"Is the arrangement supposed to be so 'common'?"

Ok, I didn't really say that last line, but I was thinking it

Later in the evening

A personal call from Pat Heck

"I did not see the arrangement

My design assisstant put it together

Tracey, the edges are not supposed to be brown

Keep the arrangement you recieved

I'm sending you another"

The new arrangement came today

This is what I expect from LeJardin

Gorgeous, Fresh, a punch of Wow.

Thanks To my guy for showing me some love

Thanks to Pat for reminding me why she's my favorite flower shop
