Why “The Myrtles”?

Nancy and Sonia have been long time friends and business partners. When Sonia’s oldest daughter was little she was a Chatty Cathy, always talking. One day she was so excited to tell Nancy a story and Nancy had to tell her “calm down Myrtle!” and since then the name has stuck between the 2 families. Everyone calls each other Myrtle and Little Myrtle.
