[2005 note by Trella:]
During the fall Ethel Blake (Blake’s Florist) came to buy a bushel of tomatoes and asked me if I would work part time in their shop. I was thrilled!- But wainted until returning from our trip to Boston before starting.
I noted every step of the operation of the shop and shared it with mother & daddy over supper. She cooked for us and we picked up Kathy & on home.
