Tramps Like Us...

...baby we were born to run!

Happy 65th Birthday today, Bruce Springsteen.

And speaking of babies born running...and important birthdays...it's like that for most flower deliveries to maternity wards in Canada these days.

It's seems that there is hardly any recovery time any more, before Mom & baby are sent running back home.

So the problem for florists is that by the time Mom gives birth & Dad gets around to letting family & friends know, Mother and baby have often been discharged.

The flower shop calls to verify that Mom is still a patient, and the delivery driver arrives to find Mom & baby already gone!

Now we have to track down a home address, and the delivery service charges us for two deliveries.

We've now started asking for a home address when we first take the order, "just in case".

No sense running up delivery charges when trying to catch up with those babies on the run!
