Athena Oregon Schools

 

There I was, in the middle of the night, buying flowers for my daughter who’s away at college. Just a little reminder that she still has a mom, but not so much of a reminder that she gets that tone in her voice: “mah-ahmmm.”(Susan H., Fort Collins CO )

My status as a second daughter in my family means that I am usually the left out one. I’m forced into the kitchen with my mother and aunties even though I have no idea how to cook. Although I have to say that my gift of flowers and balloons to the mistress of the house didn’t get me out of kitchen duty, it did get me some extra time with the men in the family as they were impressed I was able to spend so much on a deceptively gorgeous gift. My dad even mussed up my hair like he does my brothers. Score one for women!(Pat L. , Bangalore , India)

Thanks for delivering your flowers so early in the day. It was perfect for the lunch date that I had with a new girl that I wanted to impress. She was definitely impressed and it set the tone for the rest of the day. I owe you a lot beyond what I paid for the flowers.(Jennifer P., Anniston AL )

Athena Oregon Hospitals

 

Living out of a suitcase I don’t often get the chance for flowers, but the receptionist in the hotel suggested I liven up a room booked at the last minute with some flowers from the foyer. Thanks to Wesleys I can now brighten up any room I stay in, and insure my wife is enjoying something similar at the same time!(Damon Reece, San Juan PR )

I never imagined flowers could look so amazing! My mother was astonished, and now her brother is hinting to his partner to get something as striking – I gave him your number!(Giles B. Cummings, Saint Louis MO )

Athena Oregon Restaurants

 

I surfed over to your website and thought it was a great idea. But I didn't order anything. I then went away for a while and then came back and then went away again. I don't exactly know what made me order from you the first time. I think it was how easy it was to order and send something anywhere. I didn't order from you for so long because I didn't know if it would be good idea or not. That was about a year and eight orders ago. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge because you have been great about everything.(Mark S., Camarillo CA )

Your flower bouquets have brightened up my grandmothers last few months in hospital. Now she's back home she has a just-ordered flower delivery on the way!(Stella Burke, Santa Ana CA )

Athena Oregon Delivery

 

I offered to buy my mother a new food processor this year for her birthday, but nope, she wants another plant just like last year. I have a little secret about that, though. I was going to give her the food processor last year, but it was a little expensive for me, so I got her the plant. Now I find out she would actually prefer the plant.

As a society, we tend to send flowers out of feelings of guilt for not being in a place we would normally be. Before the advent of automobiles and airplanes, we wouldn't stray too far from home (except in a few cases), and so we didn't have a need for sending gifts through the mail, or the Internet, or using FTD, or some other wire service. But we are products of our times, and because even nuclear families are so far flung, and because husbands and wives often live and work on different continents from one another, we have this need to send gifts to one anther in lieu of being there. What we're acknowledging is that we usually do what we can to make compromises between how we would like to live and how we would like to be close to one another. It's apparently socially acceptable to be apart like this as long as we can send each other things that remind us of this emotional connection even though there's no physical connection. ROCK ON, BROTHER!!!(Rey V., Nagoya )
