2020 Hometown Heroes

2020 Hometown HEROES Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS May 14, 2020 Page 103 E aster is just a few days away and to say this year will be filled with non-traditional celebrations could be the understatement of the century. Never in our wildest imaginations did we think there would be a day when we were not permitted to go to church on Easter Sunday, or allow our kids to participate in a community Easter Egg Hunt. But this is an unforgettable year, and one that can make us all a little sad if we dwell on what we can’t do. Instead, we could try creating new memories and maybe even some new traditions for Easter that we can incorporate into future years when we back to our standards. One of those new traditions that is sure to lift spirits could be honoring the holiday with flowers. For the record, flower shops can be open, and among those in the community that are open is Debbie’s Downtown Floral in Lincoln. Debbie Theobald, the owner of the shop says that business is down. She sees very few visitors to her store and those who do come in are there for specific reasons. No one is just coming in to shop or look around. She said at any given time there could be one customer in the store or maybe even two but she doesn’t see any more than that. To assist those who are being very conscious of the stay at home rule and the social distancing rule, she is offering delivery, as always, and also is taking orders to the door for customers to pick-up outside. Instead of planning a big meal, buying new clothes for church or making plans to visit family, this year, you can have a wonderful Easter celebration at home with the people you share your space with. Remember, nothing can Put flowers on your table this Easter season, maybe let the kiddo’s do the arranging Debbie’s Downtown Floral offers solutions for the ‘Stay at Home’ blues COMMUNITY: WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER!
