Thanks, Choices! I'll work on something and post it tonight. BTW, is that a camellia or a cabbage rose? Either way, it is beautiful. Very pale pink roses are my favorite flowers, I think, with other pale pink and cream flowers with pink accents coming in right behind.

It's a camellia, Soli. Between having Joy and Ellen, I had a miscarriage and a friend from church gave me a little potted camellia bush. I planted it in the backyard and now it is huge and about 40 years old. It is covered in those beautiful pink blooms.

Looking forward to your 20 Questions offering!
