Of course they were fresh...Cecilia ordered them after she returned from Italy on Sunday. Fortunately they were able to track her down and get the flowers to her new location. I tell you, that Christine of ours can be a moving target. ;-)

I stopped to see Christine tonight. She looks great and is feeling better than the last time I saw her.

She will be in the hospital about 2 more weeks and will be at the Cedar Crest location until she goes home. For those in the area, visiting hours are from 11AM to 8PM.

The flowers are beautiful, and are very "fresh".
