It would have been my mum and dad's 70th wedding anniversary today. Mum carried yellow roses in her bouquet and every year dad bought her a bunch on their anniversary. I have decided to continue that tradition for them. Hope there is a good party going on in Heaven for them today!
Reminded me of this chorus:
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
from The Yellow Rose of Texas that Mitch Miller and his orchestra made popular.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie, I do miss my dad and this feels like a good thing to do at the moment @randystreat Thanks for sharing that verse, mum certainly was the only girl for my dad @gardenfolk Thank you, dad never would have struck you as a romantic, but I guess it was buried deep somewhere! @quietpurplehaze Aww, how lovely! A good spring colour I guess and certainly brings a pop of brightness!
