A Day in the Life..........of me

...breakfast, usually coffee, some sort of baked goods and some vitamins....

shower, water the plants, get ready for work....

the long walk to work (only about a mile if that even)


23 minutes later.....

the company car...

filled with deliveries....

quick stop on the road....

score!!!

quick stop for lunch...

the hardest workin family in the flower biz (not counting myself of course)


...also likes to have fun!

with the deliveries done i spend some time in my "office" working on the Kiko's Flower Shop website (www.kikokiko.com)

water more plants.....

stock the vases....

last chore of the work day.....sweeping up the garbage


finally home I usually like to put my feet up and unwind for a few before starting the "Art" half of my day

ArtClub time....usually goes from 7pm till about 3 or 4am

my better half writing down what she wants for dinner since i can never remember by the time i actually get around to ordering it!

usually from here on out the evening blurs into every other evening and like Vegas, what happens here stays here....

.....and so we bid you adieu! Thanks for coming and hope to see you again!
