It has truly become a life saver and form of sanity for me.<br />But, my friend, it is you and some others that really make it worth while to me.

May blessings flood your life and trickle over you like your many cherished waterfalls. You are as magical as they are. <br />~HUGS~ <br />GenaLagean Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339501466903179629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-40308966436990927302010-01-01T21:17:04.736-06:002010-01-01T21:17:04.736-06:00so beautiful! happy new year!so beautiful! happy new year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-90235889434130561362010-01-01T20:53:00.172-06:002010-01-01T20:53:00.172-06:00Betsy,

We are having frigid single digit weather in RI and alot of snow 20 inches last week so did I appreciate seeing your post of favorite roses. I have always loved roses in fact, St Theresa of the roses is my patron saint that I pray to. Thank you for these beauties and thank George for always having that rose green thumb. May you and George, my dearest 2 blogger friends have a new year filled with an abundance of joy, love, happiness, good health and great success in whatever you choose to do in your retirement years. <br />Hugs, KathleenChat with Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840096896788189804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-88386426570366120882010-01-01T19:52:27.892-06:002010-01-01T19:52:27.892-06:00Beautiful roses to remember, Betsy!
