    Your rendition is lovely W.J. It's very soft and has a feeling of nostalgia to it. Brings back memories for me.

    How wonderful to be inspired by someone!

    Thank you, Sandy! I was determined to keep at least one of these roses alive for longer than a week!

    Yep, that Dr. John sure knows how to put a telemarketer in a tizzy, huh?
