This is my post for #freewriters 2282 prompt never going to happen hosted by @mariannewest

I thought it was never going to happen, I got roses on Valentine's Day and they were delivered to me. I have never had roses or any other flower delivered to me.

The only problem is, I do not know who sent them. They came by DoorDash. They were in a plastic grocery bag and a receipt inside from Winn Dixie dated today and the price was 26.74. I have never used DoorDash so I do not know if they go to a grocery store and pick up what you want. People usually order flowers from a florist. It is a puzzle.

I think somewhere a man is swearing to his woman that he ordered her roses and they were to be delivered to her, but they came to me.

My husband is not the romantic sort so I have never expected a gift on Valentine's Day or any other day. I usually buy myself something for my birthday and tell him it is from him. I knew they did not come from him.

I felt bad for the poor DoorDash guy, we have been having trouble with friends of our kids coming here, we do not want them here, our kids are in their 40s and both are on drugs. So when my husband looked out his window and saw this guy standing there, he let both dogs out and ran out the door yelling "Can't you read the no trespassing signs", but he was too late, the guy threw the roses over the gate and was running to his car, my husband had to yell for him to stop. I could hear him yelling DoorDash, I am with DoorDash.

I tried to tell Donny to see who he was but the guy was the right age for one of their friends and he had had his fill of running them off, we told them they could not be here and they keep coming back, I felt bad for the guy and I think Donny did, too.

Sounds like you have a real problem with those kinds of folks showing up there. Just keep in mind that if a dog bites someone the dog almost always gets put down afterwards. Better to have them leashed if they are being used like that.

Maybe you need some of those signs like the ones that I make when I have problems with trespassers.

Just make sure to spell things poorly in the second one!

The dogs make a lot of noise but are friendly. One day Donny found one guy inside our gate walking across the yard. We have no trespassing signs and beware of dog signs but they pay no attention to them. I like your sign but only one sign came up the other one says not found.

I recently received a package that was delivered to the wrong address.
I called the sender and had them pick it up.
The lady downstairs came up to pick up the package, saying she had the wrong address.

This is a picture of a nice rose on Valentine's Day, making the viewer happy. ❤️

I do not know if they were sent to the wrong address maybe someone sent them to me or my daughter, the receipt did not have a name to call on it. I would have thought the person who ordered them would have called and complained that they were not delivered and they would see they came here. I waited a long time before I put them in water thinking he might come back for them. Maybe one day I will find out the story behind them but for now, I will enjoy them.

Maybe it was meant for your obnoxious neighbor who doesn't deserve flowers anyway?

No, these are red, hers would be black, like her heart. Luckily she only comes here on holidays or the occasional weekend, she did all of that to us and then she doesn't live there. I still do not know who sent the roses and they could have been for my daughter but I think they were delivered to the wrong address.
