Please don't forget the reasons for Decoration Day and Memorial Day - Kingsport Times News

Church, then to decorate the graves of family at nearby Flower Gap Cemetery, and finally at his home down the road a few twists and turns from the church headed away from Blackwater and toward Kyles Ford.That’s where we’d have our own “dinner on the ground.” That term, too, is one that I’ve seen referenced differently than the way I was brought up hearing and saying it. Some say it is actually “dinner on the grounds” as in the grounds of the church or cemetery. I don’t know if anyone really serves a meal on blankets and tablecloths placed directly on the ground anymore. My mother, Wanda, says they definitely had such old-fashioned picnic-style meals with a menu of sandwiches and other treats. The church congregation still had (and has still) dinner on the church grounds. But there were so many of us it seemed appropriate to just have our own spread at Popie’s, where we’d often be joined by non-family as well. By the time I came along, dinner at church was served on tables outside (they now have a covered shelter), and at Popie’s we’d carry tables out into the yard to hold all the food. But we’d often eat sitting on the ground or standing on the porches, the straight-backed chairs that lined them reserved for our elders. My sister, Pamela, says she can vividly remember being at dinners on the ground at other churches and using a car trunk or hood as a makeshift picnic table.We’d gather for pictures at these reunions, at both the cemetery and at Popie’s. Some of my favorite pictures of my aunts and uncles are of them dressed in their finest, standing at the tombstone of their mother, which Popie eventually shared. These cemetery photo shoots were a great curiosity to my former co-worker Jo Ellen Werking Weedman. ... https://www.timesnews.net/Blog/2019/05/19/Please-don-t-forget-the-reasons-for-Decoration-Day-and-Memorial-Day.html?ci=stream&lp=8&p=1

Four Floral Businesses To Receive The Century Award In Palm Springs

Janet Gould, the youngest of the fourth-generation time-honored tradition, manages day to day operations of the shop. She works alongside her Mother, Barbara, Niece, Kylee (Gould) Peters (who is a fifth generation Gould) and loyal staff. Janousek Florist & Greenhouse Inc. Omaha, Nebraska Now in their fourth generation, Janousek Florist originally opened in 1913 to serve the people of Omaha with the freshest flowers possible. Since then, they have been delivering to the entire Omaha Metro area with their own fleet of delivery vehicles and pride themselves on accommodating their customers' requests. Edward and Fred Janousek founded Janousek Florist & Greenhouse Inc. as a wholesale business in 1913 inside a cemetery in Omaha, Nebraska. Edward and Fred began to grow their own seasonal flowers and plants and over the last century and through four generations, they have maintained their position as the premier florist and greenhouse in Omaha. Ervin and Eddie Janousek ran the business from 1956 to 1983. Donald Janousek took over in 1983 and continues to run it with his son, Eric. While the days of delivering their flowers by streetcar are long gone, the Janousek family continues to pride itself on providing the freshest flowers and plants to the citizens of Omaha and the surrounding areas. Lake Forest Flowers Lake Forest, Illinois Erwin Dryskey moved his family to Lake Forest, Illinois, and opened the doors of Lake Forest Flowers in September of 1917. He went on to open two other flower shops on Chicago's North Shore. When Grace McGill bought the Lake Forest shop from Dryskey in 1949, she moved it one block, to the corner of Illinois Road and Western Ave, where it stands today. McGill designed custom floral and wedding work for families in Chicago's North Shore communities until her retirement in 1981, when she sold the business to John Looby III, AAF. Looby, with a background in greenhouse growing (who earned his AAF by commercially developing the oxalis regnelli-white blooming shamrock), expanded the business. Today, Lake Forest Flowers continues as a full-service boutique floral operation, and Looby's daughter, Eileen Looby Weber, AAF, joined the management team after earning her Bachelor's degree in horticulture and MBA. She established a large wedding and event following and has developed a variety of floral design education programs. Her continued efforts in promoting the floral industry earned her AAF in 2014. The 2018 Century Award honorees will celebrate with the 2017 Century Award recipients. Due to Hurricane Irma forcing the cancelation of SAF's last convention which was scheduled for last September in Florida, the 2017 Century Award recipients will be honored alongside the 2018 honorees. The 2017 Century Award recipients are: Johnston's Quality Flowers in Fort Smith, Arkansas Mitchell's Flowers and Events in Orland Park, Illinois Wistinghausen Florist & Greenhouse in Oak Harbor, Ohio Read about the history of their businesses here. Any industry company that has served the floral industry for 100 years or longer qualifies for the Century Award. The award was first presented in 1982.

Summer jobs: Flowers, photos and more

I met many great people during this time at working at Camp Graham and it gave me a deep appreciation for all the work that goes into running a camp.By Kyle WilsonBlanchester School Board VP,District Sales ManagerI worked in our family’s slaughterhouse. My brother and I received our start on the chicken kill floor — $15 a day, 8 hours.I liked working with family and friends. My brother and I both had buddies that would help throughout the summer months and then all year as we grew older.Sometimes having your father as a boss has rewards and sometimes … it can have the opposite effect! It was a wonderful time, though; most kids do not get a chance to work alongside family.Many lessons learned, one of my favorite being a time my brother (Adam) and I were embarrassed to eat at “Gene El’s” (former restaurant in Blan) as we had been working all day and were a bit filthy/bloody. Dad looked at us both and said, “Don’t ever be ashamed of hard work.” I’ll never forget it.Dad held the record for most cattle processed in a day and as I grew older, a goal was to beat his record. Through high school and early college years I would get close but never managed to “turn the corner” on his record. One fateful day everything seemed to click in the slaughterhouse and I finally tied him. Dad wasn’t one for compliments, but he was that day! Never did beat him though, only tied … he loved to remind me of that.Jodie HavertDirector of Food ServiceWilmington City SchoolsJodie’s first summer job was as a cashier at Dorothy Lane Market in Centerville.“I got to meet people from all different walks of life, including both customers and fellow staff members. Some of these acquaintances evolved into lifelong friendships,” said Havert.Her least favorite part of the job, she said, was “handling money — so dirty and disgusting!”The most memorable thing that occurred while working there was she met her future fiancé..neFileBlock { margin-bottom: 20px;}.neFileBlock p { margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;}.neFileBlock .neFile { border-bottom: 1px dotted #aaa; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 10px;}.neFileBlock .neCaption { font-size: 85%;} Load comments ... https://www.wnewsj.com/news/76303/summer-jobs-flowers-photos-and-more

Dallas Has a Florist Called Peaches Designing Offbeat 80s-esque Arrangements - D Magazine

And no, I don’t mean her painting, I mean her. Art gets so weird, man! I like to walk through the Joule every couple weeks and let the manic pixie dream dust rub off on my Unraveling Mom visage.Kyle Branch, aka Peaches.Kyle Branch is no exception to this rule. When the 24-year-old is not working as a shop clerk at TenOverSix, he’s putting together sculptural floral arrangements under the moniker Peaches, a name he borrowed from an old friend’s bird and chose for its winky-winky allusion to the emoji definition. (Of course, if that pseudonym doesn’t work out, Branch is not a terrible name for a florist.) When I was in the shop the other day, I asked about the business. Branch said he started working with flowers a year ago—and then he went down a verbal wormhole about his style that began with the word “darkness” and referenced the arcade game Galaga. I regretted not having my recorder on and not having the memory bank to hold complex word combinations.One of Branch’s displays from the Glossier pop-up.From what I can tell, Branch uses foliage sparingly and places flower heads precisely. Buds will poke out this way or that or an oversized frond will take center stage. I’m certain Todd and Margo from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation would order his displays for dinner parties. His work is in line with a new wave of throwback floral designers, a trend recently written about in T Magazine (Branch said, indeed, several of the florists mentioned in that article were artists he looked to for inspiration). Last week, Branch helped with the florals at the much-hyped Glossier pop-up. He also sells arrangements via his website, which means you don’t have to wait a few years—you can order his floral artwork now for a prime spot on your m...

Bloomin' Across Texas offers floral services in and around Pflugerville - Community Impact Newspaper

Carlene Wells is the founder of Bloomin’ Across Texas. (via Elizabeth Ucles/Community Impact Newspaper) Almost 30 years ago, Carlene Wells left her corporate career to pursue “something different,” she said. Her next step followed about a year later when she saw a “for sale” sign on a Pflugerville flower shop.With her mother’s help, Wells said she opened Bloomin’ Across Texas in 1992 as a full-service florist for special occasions, sympathy, gift items and more. Eleven years later, Wells opened a second location in Cedar Park.The business is first and foremost a family affair, Wells said. Her sons have worked at the shop, and when Wells’ father faced a serious illness, Bloomin’ Across Texas became a comfortable gathering location for the family to care for him, she said.Over the decades, Wells said Bloomin’ Across Texas has impacted the lives of other local families as well. Some of the shop’s first flowers decorated a wedding. Flowers followed to celebrate the birth of the couple’s children, and later their proms and wedd... https://communityimpact.com/austin/round-rock-pflugerville-hutto/business/2019/05/14/bloomin-across-texas-offers-floral-services-in-and-around-pflugerville/
