stuff for the roses

Posted by Mauri on July 9, 2006

I bought stuff for the roses last week—plant food and spray for black spots. It was nearly 18 years ago DadWilliams created the beautiful rose garden that regularly keeps Margaret-Rose (Macy) and Paul (Carlson) in our minds/hearts. And until just a few weeks ago he was faithful to tend it. In fact, there weren’t may square inches of the lot here at 514 that didn’t get his careful attention. It was just one of the ways he expressed his care and love for all of us. So I bought some stuff for the roses, and will ask advice and do my best. And as I care for them you can be sure I’ll not only be remembering Margaret-Rose and Paul.

  1. That’s great! What a terrific way to remember those special people :) Thanks for sharing this with us!


  2. Wally will never forget his long conversation with Ken out by his truck when he was there tending the roses. Wally said if we lived there, he’d come take of them for you! Isn’t it infinitely interesting how God weaves lives together through “seemingly” ramdom meetings! PTL!

    We love you!


  3. Grandpa Williams “tended” in lots of ways! I’m sure he will be smiling to know we think of him when we tend roses. =)
