MERCI bEAUCOUP!
Of course one can always send a hand
written thank you note, but sometimes
you need to bring out the big guns to
really show your appreciation.
UNDER THE wEATHER
Flowers are a terrific way to let someone
who is ill, or just feeling blue, know you're
thinking of them, even if you can't visit
them in person.
They might just be the trick to cheer someone
up.
Some hospitals may have a policy regarding
flowers. For instance, most intensive
care units do not allow flowers.
Remember to consider allergy sufferers -
don’t bring fragrant flowers into hospitals.
