I don't know if it is just the floral business, but Josie came home from work early yesterday because all the work was done. She is struggling to get comfortable with all the changes at Cactus Flower that seem to affect business - in a negative way. The start to her return to Cactus Flower is not a smooth and happy occasion so far. One thing that has changed, and is responsible for some of the downturn, is the fact that the company has reduced its involvement with FTD to save money and the order call-in volume has been reduced as a result. The Call Center function has been eliminated. I was suppose to drive for them today to help with holiday deliveries but the lack of orders on the "board" has eliminated the need for my help. Hopefully, there will be a turnaround today.
I have spent lots of time perusing rental listings looking for what might be the "perfect" rental for us. There have not been any, so far, that satisfy all our requirements. That doesn't mean that there won't be one as we have some time before we need to get serious about that.
As mentioned yesterday, we expect very warm temperatures for Thanksgiving Day. It is in the upper 80's almost every day now - and will be for the next several days - and those temperatures are about 15 degrees above normal for this time of the year. It could be a lot worse as we look at some of the weather across the country...
