Several yrs ago our lumber yard in Bowling Green hosted the Makita girl to meet, greet and sign posters. It happened every year for maybe 4.
I missed the first yr, but the boys at the yard got me one of those-to cal, from ? Pretty sweet-looked good in the shop.
The next one, didn't want to miss that one-was working in Toledo at a Flower Wholesaler. Since it happened to be my anniversary or Joyce's birthday or something......I ask the owner if I could buy some roses. Sure calvin-here's a box-no charge. I thanked him and mentioned the box seemed large-seems all the roses came packed two dozen to a bundle. They were beauts.
So remember, Miss Makita and I'm not going to miss this one. I race down to the yard-place is packed-end up parking in the back. I go in the back door..........but wait-I've got 2 dozen-Joyce won't miss one..........
So I walk in the back door-look to the right and there's a sweet Miss Makita. I look at the line leading to the front door-look back at Miss Makita-she turns, sees me and smiles. What the heck-I walk up and give her the rose. Man, what an ice breaker. She stops with one of the line boys, proceeds to tell me it's the sweetest thing anyone's ever done at one of these shows-signs me a letter on her poster........I was ecstatic. Did notice some looks from the line boys.
You might think that's the end of the story.........
And you'd be wrong. The following year-sign posted that Miss Makita would be at the yard. I make note-but forget. Just happened to need material and drove over-place packed again-me not knowing it's Makita day. Walk in the back as usual and low and behold there's the table-Miss Makita and another line of goons drooling all the way to the front door again. Now all the previous yrs the Makita girl is new. NOT THIS TIME> She sees me, gets up and walks over and lays a huge hug and smooch on me. I'll be, Miss Makita from the previous year and she has a memory like a trap!
Imagine the look on my competitions faces seeing this. I was one proud mutha!
Believe me-it was better in person.
