Right now I have three amazing yellow roses in an old bud vase from my childhood atop a nightstand. They did start out in the kitchen, though, then moved to the dining room, before they came to rest in their current spot. They seem to be following me! :)<BR/>tmorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-90727562069549563772009-01-23T12:55:00.000-06:002009-01-23T12:55:00.000-06:00GREAT post Layla!

I feel like my energy has been a little low!"~ And so, I told her, "Please hold on sweets! I need to add one more thing!"~ And so, I pranced over to the flower bouqet area of orbs of lovely petals and picked up white roses! And I brought those roses back to the checkout isle, and the man next to me said, "Those are beautiful roses!" And I said, "Yes, indeed!"~ And Edie rung up the flowers, and I signed the reciept, and then I said to her, "These flowers are for you!"~ And she smiled, walked around, and gave me a big hug, and I said, "Beautiful flowers, for a beautiful lady!"~ Thanks for listening!
