All orders were up last night so day went well 5 delivery vehicles. Got 40 more poinsettias from Nachurs & also sold the 25 on consignment from Buds. Finished by 5. Gang gave me 5 Corning Ware cook set! To Mary’s for supper. They had picked up Howard. They gave me a great tripod & the Exotica Manual.
