She just wanted something to do. She was 47. She had never worked out,” said Davie Greer, who married Pearl Greer's only child, Jerry.Davie Greer began working at the flower shop in 1963, doing the bookkeeping for the business.“I did the books for several years and then just gradually picked (flower arranging) up,” Davie Greer said.Davie Greer's husband, Jerry, a mechanic, delivered flowers, but usually only on busier days, such as Easter, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day, and he still does when he is needed.After about eight years, the business became much more than just “a hobby,” so Pearl Greer moved the flower shop from the basement of her house to the house next door. She ran the business out of the house next door to her own home for 20-plus years.“We moved... http://www.glasgowdailytimes.com/news/greer-s-florist-celebrates-years-of-business/article_d57c60b4-b5e1-11e6-97a3-d7dc92689f26.html

Ask LaFleur: How is the money for my South Carolina wildflower license plate spent?

The focus is broader now, but funds raised by the plates still go exclusively toward beautification projects through the Highway Beautification Fund, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation website.  A state law that dates back to 1990 mandates that the fund may only be used for landscaping, wildflower planting, scenic easements or other highway enhancement projects. Eligible projects include wildflower planting, gateway projects, landscaping and bike or pedestrian paths, according to DOT. Ask LaFleur: When will Greenville glass recycling begin? Rubbing alcohol challenge: What made the South Carolina case more dangerous? Brian Keys, deputy secretary for finance and administration for DOT, said the department is currently working to finalize an agreement with the South Carolina Department of Parks and Tourism specifically for beautification projects tied directly to welcome centers across South Carolina.  The fee for the "Keep It Beautiful" plate is $54 for two years. It's available to all South Carolina residents. More than 12,000 of the tags have been purchased, according to DOT, and the tag is one of the state's most popular specialty plates.
