    My wonderful husband suggested that we take a day next week and drive up to Chamblee's Roses in East Texas. Chamblee's is my idea of heaven (I have a request that my ashes be sprinkled over their growing beds, but they don't seem too enthused about the idea).
    There are so many roses I want to grow, and now I just have a few days to make up my mind and my list. I can hardly wait to go, and then to get home and start digging holes.
    When we get back, I'll post photos as soon as my hands stop trembling and my breathing is back to normal.:rosy:

    I can't think of anyone more deserving than you, Mz. Jane!!!!
    Tell your Hubby that I said, 'way-to-go' and 'good-for-you' to treat his life partner with tenderness and care..
