4. Beautiful!
My sweetie gave me a dozen roses on Sunday for no reason at all. Such a deep pink they are almost purple. They're gorgeous.

Amazing, isn't it, how flowers can make your day? For me anyway. Congrats on your anniversary!

5. Tell him to knock it the hell off.
The "Guy Code" requires that we keep the bar low for the rest of us. Didn't he get the memo!?!
:evilgrin:

8. Miz t. gets a dozen yellow roses. She's a Texan.
I couldn't afford one for each year.
Years after I started the tradition we found out that 'in the language of flowers' yellow roses mean 'infidelity'.
We don't care.

9. What a beautiful picture.
Sometimes I think roses would be nice. But I do have almost 40 years, so I can live without them.

I wish you 40 years and more. It's a great adventure. What an impressive rose display that will be.

12. The Prophetess will get mad at me if I spend a lot of money on flowers.
Seriously. She would get pissed off if I had flowers delivered. She wants them (if at all) from a grocery flower shop, because they're cheaper.

16. My dad did that
for my mom until he passed shortly before their 49th anniversary. I took up the tradition for a bit but it got too costly but she never was without flowers on her anniversary. You have a dear husband.
