Morning Charlene! The first time I went to Marshall's, I was with a friend. We were at the Master Gardener conf. in Tyler. We took a side trip to Marshall's and literally filled the truck with pots. Got back to the motel and as my friend stepped out of truck, she twisted her knee. I had to carry all the pots upstairs so we could hurry to the MG welcoming party. The day before we left Tyler, we went to Chamblee's just to "look" at roses. We both bought a few David Austin ones, and as we were checking out I remarked that we should have an armed guard walk us to the truck after what they cost. The clerk asked if we had missed the "$2. Corral." The guy that had helped us then offered to show us the corral. Long story short, he decided to take us to see the ones they hadn't put out yet. We filled the back end of the truck with roses. When we got back to the motel...and after I hauled all those roses upstairs, it dawned on us that we had two truck loads of stuff...but only one truck. We packed the truck bed with pots and our suitcases. We filled the inside of the truck with roses piled on each other and down the center console. I said I was sure this must be what Heaven smelled like! We drove all the way to Austin from Tyler like that. I still have most of those pots, not one of the roses....
