Roses for Mama
The other day, I took Mom to visit Aunt Susie. When we returned back home, she went into the house while I busied myself to cleaning out their car. Soon she called for me to leave that and come see what was waiting for me in the house. I went wondering what was the matter.
This is what greeted me:
There were 2 bouquets. One was addressed to Mom and the other to me. How sweet.
Susana, our oldest child, had gone out to WI with the family after the funeral. She and Adam had decided for her to come out for a few days which was a God-send. Because of this, I could stay with Mom for a week. I didn't worry about my children or Vernon since I know they were in good hands. (PS....she is an excellent cook.
). Anyway, Adam had sent her a bouquet of roses on the anniversary of their courtship beginning 5 years ago. 
Suddenly I had to smile. Memories of something came to the forefront of my mind. Years ago, when Jeff Zimmerman was going with Jennie Miller, he sent a bouquet to Jennie, he also sent one to his future mother-in-law Rose. Ted, (her husband) didn't want to be outdone went and bought Rose bouquet also! We thought that was pretty funny.
Thanks Adam, for giving Vernon a good idea. I just love it.
