ROSES

Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. She lives a fair distance away and highways were being closed because of stormy weather. I called her to ask what colour of roses were her very favorite. She replied, "A rose!" I paused and cautiously said, "Red roses?" She came back, a little exasperated, "Yes, a rose, ...red is best!" I thought that was so sweet! To her, a true rose is red! I called the florist and ordered them. An hour later she called me to thank me! She said they were just beautiful!
