Bosses Day Banner

The origin of Bosses Day dates back to 1958. Patricia Bays Haroski, an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Illinois, registered it with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Haroski chose the date because it was her father’s birthday. Who was her boss? ….her father. Be the first to show your Boss just how much you appreciate them this Bosses Day, October 16th.

Welcoming the Fall Season

September 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

FallRoadwayThe air is cooling and the leaves are preparing to change! Kids are returning to school and new shows are on our Televisions. The Fall Season is upon us! Autumn official starts on September 22nd, however no matter where you look the season is already changing, especially here at Bloom Country!

F91 COLORMost of us “Arizonans” can only remember when Fall brought trees shed their leaves and changing their color to a reddish hue and fall to the ground. While most of us don’t miss having to rake leaves, it’s easy to miss the vibrant colors that are abundant up north this season. Such colored leaves have come to be colloquially called “fall foliage.”

We hope this season when you are decorating your home to reflect the beauty of the changing seasons that you’ll honor us by placing one of our Autumn Designs in your home. Classic Cornucopias, Seasonal Arrangements and Harvest Baskets are a standard, however if you want something unique keep in mind our Autumn Harvest Bouquet designed eloquently in our exclusive Lenox Celebration Gift Bag.

The WTC Memorial

The WTC Memorial

The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11—pronounced “nine eleven”) consisted of a series of coordinated suicide terrorist attacks upon the United States, predominantly targeting civilians, carried out on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

That morning, 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda[1] hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. Two planes (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower (One and Two). Both towers collapsed within two hours. The pilot of the third team crashed a plane into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Excluding the 19 hijackers, a confirmed 2,973 people died and another 24 remain missing as a result of these attacks.

We are United In Memory – 9/11/01

Grandparents Day is Sunday, Sept 13

09 - GRANDPARENTS DAY EMAIL

The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.

Happy Grandparents Day!!
