Fran had indicated that some roses would be nice for her birthday. So me being one to please I started the expediting of request well ahead of time, ya just Got’a do it living up here. So around the 15th march I call out to Goose Bay and enquire about when flowers arrive, could they be delivered to air port etc. Was told flowers usually arrive Wednesday, no problem getting them to air port.
I lined things up with air line, she is all a go, weather permitting.
So on evening of the 20th had a call saying the flowers were in early this week and would I like them taken up to air port next morning. Looking out the window and not being able to see house across the road I replied, “well I don’t think that’s a good idea, and with the weather people saying we have a big low that will last for 2 or 3 days, could you pleas hold off on the flowers”. “No problem” they say.
Weather cleared towards end of week, but then the air lines have catch up with people and freight, Fran very understanding, all is under control, flowers will be late.
The following Wednesday, March 29, the flowers arrive in Goose Bay, taken to air port that evening, arrived at house around 3.30 PM yesterday.
As you can see, it was worth the wait, flowers look great, we had another little calibration. Fran improved on my arrangement skills later.
A big thank you to the Red Berry Patch in Goose Bay for their patience, understanding and first class service, recommend them to any one. Also like to thank the nice staff at Air Labrador for their part.
With a little planning, co operative retailers and air lines and the weather gods, we too can have the little luxuries that are taken for granted for folks in the larger centers.
