One Year Ago


Bethany Joan Marie loved resting in her mother's arms. Once she had a tantrum because her mother was not there. I said, "Is that how you get your way around here?" Bethany stopped crying and grinned.

We went out to the cemetery today. I packed two vases with Enchanted Peace roses. 

Enchanted Peace


Today the Rose Garden was bejeweled with rose blooms. Christina said, "Grass is boring. Turn the front yard into a rose garden." So I did.


 Erin Joy earned her middle name, bursting into laughter for jokes, spills, nurses cussing, and family members "getting into trouble." 

Blooming today were Enchanted Peace, Queen Elizabeth (for Bethany and Erin), Fragrant Cloud, Veterans Honor, and Rugosa. A praying mantis, having breakfast, rested on one rose bloom, so I let it hop onto a new bush to finish the meal.

  Nurse Ida and Bethany adored each other.
