Went to Home Depot today for concrete mix. They are the only store that sells the 50# bags of…read moreQuikrete 5000% mix. I have about 200 bags to pour so I don't want the 80# bags. I had the same issue today that I almost always have with Home Depot--not enough employees to handle the volume of customer requests. There was literally ONE person who could run the forklift. That was bad enough on a Saturday afternoon, but one employee told me that the store had just cut everyone's hours and wasn't staffing nearly to normal levels. We just had enormous flooding in our area in the last week and there were several hundred customers in the store. So on a Saturday afternoon, and in an area where thousands of people have flood damage to fix, the store management cuts hours and staff. Talk about the absolute worst strategic decision that could be made. Horrible management on the part of the store. It took over 40 minutes to get the one person with a forklift to get around to me. 40 minutes! The store management desperately needs to be changed with decisions like they're making with respect to staffing. Home Depot will never be able to compete with Menards due to issues like this.

I have the BEST tree dude in the history of tree dudes:…read more On Wednesday, Ryan, of Gardner Tree Service stopped by so we could talk to him about removing an old lilac bush that was sitting in the way of a fence we want to put in. During that conversation, we also talked about him bringing a load of compost for one of our garden beds. We decided we were a "go" on having him do both (the compost and the lilac bush) but left the timing pretty loose. He mentioned that he'd get the compost dropped off sometime soon. THE NEXT DAY, we had a lovely pile of compost and the lilac bush was history. I cannot overstate how highly I recommend using Gardner Tree Service.

My cousin lives in Sioux City, but I live in St. Louis, Missouri. I love to send flowers to my…read morecousin because she is the dearest and kindest person I know and I like to make her happy. I started ordering flowers by phone from Barbara's a few years ago: for her birthday, or Christmas, or just because. Barbara's has always assisted me in choosing flowers and arrangements, even suggesting colors. I have never been disappointed. This florist takes her time assisting customers. I appreciate that very much because good customer service is becoming a thing of the past, especially in the big metropolitan area where I live. My cousin takes a photo of her flowers every time she gets some and sends me that photo. She is thrilled to receive the beautiful flowers this florist provides. And, I am always impressed with the lovely arrangement. Other people who see her floral arrangements always comment how beautiful they are. A few days ago, I purchased a dozen yellow roses for my cousin from Barbara's. They were glorious! The artistry of this florist shows in the time they take to make any arrangement look spectacular. The yellow roses exceeded my expectation, and they made my cousin's day a beautiful one. Her son even called me to thank me for sending her the gorgeous roses. Thank you, the florists of Barbara's. Your talent and your caring gave a wonderful day to my cousin - and made her son and me happy, too. I can't thank you enough. Janice Palesch
