We weekly grocery shop on a Friday or Saturday. We've learned the hard way to do it any day but: Superbowl - good luck finding avocados for your world famous guacamole.
What does Mom want?
Flowers 26% of the Moms want them' only 2% of Daddies get them. Cards - 90%
chocolates 28% clothing 80%
65% of the parents want quality family time. I think of some families (and no doubt you can, too) that could provide anything but "quality" to their time."
Flowers - the most popular is said to be the pink carnation. They represent Mary's tears for Jesus upon His death.
How much do you expect to spent on presents this year? $220 per person Totaling $16 billion up from $15.3 billion last year.
Restaurants make out like bandits. Our favorite restaurant - shuttered to my horror - Ports O Call with a dynamite buffet and all of the free champagne you can swill down.
On a trip into the bathroom, I asked the attendant (we were old pals and always had a little chat , ) how many plates today? And she said, "3,000." And I gasped.
Today, I can report that the front and back doors of Ralphs supermarket were massed high with flowers. I think people had a hard time getting their carts through. Even funnier - there's a See's Candy store? Emporium? right next door to Ralph's- and people were lined out to the parking lot.
