2019-01-24 07:29:05 PM salinass this might sound awful, but when someone dies, the family donates all the flowers and we take them apart and then we make new arrangements out of the flowers

2019-01-24 07:31:34 PM sondrac awwww
2019-01-24 07:31:39 PM kathyhughes Right,,,we did that until the residents protested and told us not to accept them...as they would take the arrangements (if we were not there) and nursing would spew them around the lobby and it would look like a funeral home...well that stopped that!
2019-01-24 07:31:40 PM salinass awww
2019-01-24 07:31:44 PM calixc3 base ball hats from the dollar store

2019-01-24 07:31:52 PM awalden that's great
2019-01-24 07:32:14 PM salinass that is why we break them up kathy, they said the samething, but they wanted the flowers
2019-01-24 07:32:15 PM alejandra95 nice
2019-01-24 07:32:26 PM sondrac i feel like this part of the class is a bit eaiser
2019-01-24 07:32:31 PM kathyhughes So we would go to the local florist and gather up the old flowers from her
2019-01-24 07:32:52 PM alejandra95 yes so true nobody wants it to look like a funeral
2019-01-24 07:33:16 PM calixc3 we started doing that and edable arrange ments now drops extra fruit off when they are done with an arrange ment for the facility
2019-01-24 07:33:17 PM kathyhughes Mine were a tad outspoken and yes we would take them apart but they would come in after we left for the day at 8PM at night
2019-01-24 07:33:34 PM kathyhughes Good idea Nathan
