Surreal moments as a church treasurer:
A. Writing a check to the Florist for bouquets sent to each of my parent's wake.
B. Same with my mother-in-law. We think the bouquet never even made it to the funeral home in California, though. If it did, it ended up with a stranger. The funeral home had a full house that day!
C. And now: the Florist's invoice for 88 year old Lois' funeral -- she who had placed the floral orders for others' funerals year after year after year.
Who will be signing the church's checks when someday -- in the far distant future, God willing -- it will be my name under the invoice's description?
I prefer all PINK flowers, btw.
