Now, there is a question. Are flowers really relevant to the American lifestyle? Are they relevant right here in Auburn? What is their value?
This past weekend, Anne Marie and I were in Hershey, Pa. to see our granddaughter, Sydney, skate in the Hershey Synchronized Ice Skating Invitational tournament. Some 500 young ladies competed in the full day event. Sydney’s team, 15 skaters from 11 to 14 years old, took a first in her group. We presented her with a beautiful bouquet of roses.
If you ever wonder whether flowers are really relevant, just look into the eyes of a 12-year-old as she receives a bouquet. Look at the smile.
Many of the girls received flowers that day, some did not. When you look at the faces of those who didn’t, you will realize that flowers are relevant. We realized it even more as Sydney took three roses from her bouquet and gave them to team members who did not receive any.
