My neighbor Mr Truby had the most beautiful rose garden in his backyard. He won quite a few awards with his roses. I used to love going to his house just to see and smell the roses. Hense my absolute love of any rose.
My grandmother had the most gorgeous climbing rose bush. It covered a fence with almost white blooms with a slight blush of peach. My mother ended up with it when my grandmother was forced to leave her house (eminent domain so a school could enlarge its playground). She hated it but it took all her abuse and when we finally got a house she gave it to me. I loved it but it died almost immediately after I planted it. I have a big climber now that's sort of the colors in these roses. We had a mild winter so the canes didn't die to the ground as usual. It should get really enormous this summer. I hope it gets tons of roses.
Love roses. It took me longer to work as my husband of 51 years had hernia surgery yesterday. It was larger than thought so he isn't jumping as yet! He took such good care of me when I had knee replacement in Sept. that I want to do the same. Hope you are feeling better Pixie and get to working puzzles soon. I always scroll down to find aussie, love her quotes!
Beautiful. I love that color combination melon, of peach and baby pink.
Today I have completed my 72nd year. I was born a little after 7 am.
Have a lovely day all. May your plans bloom with success.
Happy 73rd birthday, pilipixil, and hope you had a or are having a splendid day! I am one year and 10 months older than you, and will celebrate in May. Wish my old body was as youthful as my thoughts and dreams. [sigh] Missing so many names of the puzzlers who used to post regularly, sensing some have passed on. You take care, and happy puzzling! Cyber hugs surround you!

Thank you so much Luvswesterns, leia, Karen, trynfindit and Joyce. My day was very nice. I got a few phone calls from a friend and relatives, opened some presents and once my tastebuds recover from this rinse (in maybe a week or two? ) will continue to celebrate by going out for dinner.
My husband jumped the gun by a few days by giving me a lovely bouquet and we are still enjoying that as I remove whatever shrivels to keep it looking new.
