I so love pink roses...and I am missing my 3 prolific pink rose bushes this time of year. On my budget I do not usually buy grocery store flowers, as pretty as they can be. But the other day I saw these 5 roses for $5 and I couldn't help myself.
They are so pretty and are satisfied my yearning...for now.
They make me happy! Today we had such beautiful weather it made me excited to think how soon spring will be here. I even bought a couple flowers for my pots. My potted flowers on the front porch always make me smile.
On Saturday afternoon our Grandpa passed away. It was his time, but it is hard to think I will never see his smiling face in this world again.
He was a wonderful man...and always fun to be with. My kids were very close to their Great Grandpa as he only lived a few blocks away from us. So this is hard on all of us. He was suffering at the end of his life, and we are happy he is now resting in paradise.
The night Grandpa passed we had such a beautiful sunset...
I am sure it is even more beautiful where Grandpa is :)
I hope this finds everyone enjoying whatever season you are experiencing right now...
Thanks for visiting!

so sorry for your loss of you g-father, sandy. the sunset is beautiful. pretty roses-- my kroger keeps me in roses lately--.99 for a dozen!
So sorry Sandy. I hope my sunset is as beautiful when my time comes. Pat.
I am so sorry Sandy...but I do agree, he is much better off than any of us. It never helps missing them though and hearing their voice. I'm glad you bought yourself some roses, a little pick me up does wonders for our soul. I can't wait until spring and all of my beautiful flowers to bloom...and to plant more!
Sandy, sorry for your loss, it's never easy to except a passing yet memories keep our loved ones close.
Your love is so apparent In your family photo and the beauty that surrounds you is everlasting.
Thank you dear for taking the time to visit me, I hope all your visits with all the bloggers of inspiration will comfort your heart.

Beautiful days to you.

Ohhh, those gorgeous pink roses look so pretty in your house with your decor. But i have to say, YOUR roses are the absolute best, i can't wait to see them again on the blog. There is one i just love, and now i can't remember the name of it! Anyway, so sorry about your grandpa passing. It's such a mixed feeling when someone suffers at the end of their life. You don't want them to suffer, and you don't want to lose them ... it's hard.

HI Sandy,
So sorry for your loss. What a sweet picture with the kids. Treasure that. The sunset was beautiful on the night he passed giving you a sign all is well and he is in a beautiful place. Love your roses so pretty.

I am sorry for your loss. But, how fortunate that your children got to spend so much time with their great grandfather.
Your roses look so pretty sitting on the chair.
One of my favorite scriptures is 'Peace, be still, and know that I am God.' Roses are so soft and sweet in their beauty. What a wonderful Dad your father was!
So sorry for your loss!
hold on to the memories.
Beautiful post.
That's very special that your kids were so close to their great grandpa. That's rare these days, to not only live close by but to actually have a good relationship. I am very sorry for your family's deep loss:(.
Pink roses are my absolute favorite flower of all time, so I would've bought that $5 bouquet in a heartbeat!:lol I'm very much ready for spring myself!
Oh! That's so sad, Sandy...bless him in heaven and condolences to you and your family!
Hugs,
JP
I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa, how wonderful that you had him in your life for so many years and your kids got to grow up with him! Yep, you deserved some roses

I'm so sorry for your loss. The roses are beautiful.
Sandy,I am so very sorry for your loss. Even though he is no longer in pain, it is hard to loss someone you love. When my mom passed I was glad to know she is in a perfect body. But it's hard to know I will never get to speak with her again. Well, not in this place. I know one day I will get to see her again and we will rejoice in our heavenly bodies together.
I think you found such an awesome deal on those roses because God wants your spirits lifted in this time. They are beautiful. Take care.
This is a beautiful post...the sunset, roses, and adorable picture of your children with their great grandpa. He will always be in all of your hearts & happy memories.
Blessings to you with the passing of your grandpa.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
What a great picture with Grandpa. All of you have his wonderful sweet smile. He is watching over each of you from Heaven. God bless you and the whole family ox
Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. That was a great picture of you all! Loved the roses, it was $5 well spent! They are lovely and what a perfect pick me up for this time of year!
Hi Sandy,
I am sad to hear you have lost a loved one....Your flowers are beautiful as was the sunset....Maybe it was so beautiful because it was the closing of a beautiful life...
Hugs,
Amy Jo
