Looking back on it, he had not accomplished all that much. Still, he had come up with four or five great lines. And he had enough from that to buy Calvados and fresh flowers.
--From: The Putative Autobiography of ML
I read once that Sir Elton John spends something like $100,000 per month on fresh cut flowers for his Atlanta, Georgia penthouse. Upon learning this, it became my benchmark for really making it big. Say what you will for Bentleys, jets, and jewelry, once this blog effort takes off, I'm blowing my money on a valet and fresh cut flowers. Lots of them. Delivered all the time. I can't imagine anything more elegant.
Until then, I am very pleased to say that my local Huge Discount Store has lovely bouquets like this one at such a low price that I can regularly buy them. Put something pretty in your own path. It will make you feel like a million bucks. Even if it only cost five.

M. Lane,
You are both a scholar and a gentleman!

Something we don't have nearly enough of. My wife is starting a cut flower bed just to have fresh flowers in the house.
When my blog makes it big, I'm investing in a large country estate where I can grow my own fabulous flowers at home. I'll skip the $100,000 a month for the florist, and I don't a valet. But a majordomo would be nice, I've always wanted one.
Love your flowers- and agree that they add so much to a room- whether they are $5 or $50! Hope you're having a wonderful summer
BG, you flatter me. I love it.
Turling, what a grand effort! I have no ability with plants or I might try it too.
Belle, love country estates but they have to have staff. No more riding around on a mower for me after I break out. And I want JEEVES not just any valet!! As for a majordomo, how about that fellow off of Tom Sellick's TV show? He was good at it.
DC, how nice to see your comment! I KNOW you are having such a marvelous and busy summer with le petite enfant. Thanks for taking time to come by!
Thanks everyone for your visits and comments...

Fun blog, usually when I hit the "next" button on my blog it takes me to a mommy blog, Zzz. Refreshing!
SCW, thanks! I hope you keep coming by.
