My Sister, The Traitor

(Encarta Dictionary – traitor – betrayer – somebody who is disloyal or treacherous)

I went by Mom’s after work yesterday to check on her, bring her some dinner and visit for a while. She is still somewhat insecure about taking a shower because she’s afraid she might fall or something as she still doesn’t have all her strength back. So while she was in the shower, I decided to check the plants on Mom’s porch to see if they needed watering. The plants that I potted were fine but when I checked the hanging plant that Barb bought for Mom, it was dry. It’s a beautiful plant. I think it’s called an angel-leaf begonia. It is lush and full with plenty of flowers. It’s so lush it looks like it should be at an exotic resort in the Caribbean or Mexican Riviera. Absolutely georgeous! In fact, it’s so full, I had a hard time getting the leaves out of the way to water it. As I was pushing the leaves aside I noticed the tag and decided to see where my ELDEST sister bought the beautiful plant. Lo & behold she bought it at Koenig’s Nursery!

Now, if you read my blog regularly, you should remember the problem I had with Koenig’s and reported on August 4, 2008 in “It’s the Principle”. The last sentence of my blog was, “I will NEVER go back to Koenig’s Nursery again and if you’re my family or friend, you won’t either!”

Just for that, Barb, I’m telling Ronnie & Matt that you shop at WalMart….

OMG! How was I supposed to know it was THAT Koenig nursery? Aren't there about a million? Actually, in all honesty, I didn't even remember which nursery you were boycotting---or that I was supposed to boycott them too! Oh, and if Ronnie and Matt see this, I would hardly be caught dead in WalMart. You must be confusing me with Butch!
Love,
The Traitor

PS I don't know what the problem is with mom's plants this year. I guess they need watering everyday---already.
