Dear Rollo

Hello

I am sorry this is late but hope you good lady wife enjoyed her very special day.

Belated very happy birthday to her.

"The Rose" sung by Bette Midler is one of my favourite songs.


Take gentle care
With best wishes
Elizabeth,

18 yellow roses was a great favorite of OH mother though I never met her. OH grandparents were carted off to Drancy in 1942 and her mother was adopted by a Catholic family who were rather risking their necks. She died an early death 'cos of the ill treatment from the Milice,

As OH is French she is looking forward to seeing "Carmen" in her native language quite soon.

thank you all for yr good wishes
:-)

Morning Mr Rollo, or should that be Mr Softee. he,he .

Well done matey, Best wishes to the Good lady.
It reminded me of a song and the little story that went with it.
It may be a little bit before your good lady`s time though...

Bobby Darin wrote this song for the mother of actress Sandra Dee. Darin met Dee in 1960 when they were shooting a movie together in Portofino, Italy, called Come September. Darin was smitten, and decided it was best to get in her mother's good graces. Every day of the 4 week shoot, he sent Dee's mother 18 yellow roses - this was portrayed in the movie Beyond The Sea with Darin saying, "You always make sure the mama dog likes you before you go near her puppy."

Darin and Sandra Dee eloped later that year, and were not married until 1967.

Happy Birthday To your lady Rollo . hope you got a big kiss for the roses .enjoy your Day :-) Barbra

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

Bette Midler
