Mr Graul and the Mannequin Part 2 in Misc. Thoughts opinions, the whole trash can.

The saga continues, there is a tug of war over the mannequin. It's in my mother's possession now. Mr Graul could come into the shop anytime, because he has keys. Despite his faults, he was honorable, and always phoned, if he needed access to the shop.

Friday morning Traffic island, Wadsworth Blvd and West 44th Avenue:

My mother, went through the floral waste, and picked out the most horrid and hideous, leavings from the shop. She did this after, Mr. Graul had closed for the evening. She had a late appointment and gleaned her treasure, while waiting.

The plan unfolds and put into place around 630 am. The mannequin was placed on the traffic island, for the left turn lane for 44th Avenue. There was a traffic sign, showing the turn route, at the start of the island. The mannequin was lashed there, and her "goods" again displayed. In the crude fashioned arms, a putrid bouquet display, of dead flowers. The sign read. " Daily special for $5.00. Impress the one you love. One day only Graul Florist"...Phone number.

Wow !!!, this lasted for almost 6 hours, out there on busy Wadsworth Blvd. How it was discovered was a driver for Mr Graul came into the shop and said, "There is the mannequin out there selling flowers for you". Well Mr Graul stopped everything for full blown mannequin recovery. A designer, probably Marty and a driver recovered the "queen".

She was to live to play another day, and the saga continues, before her demise..
