Famous Avenue, & Gorgeous Roses (Final Arkansas Adventure Post)...

Happy Wednesday All, Thursday of my Arkansas Adventure we hung out at in-law's house and Friday we headed back home. There are some awesome things about the trip that I need to note.

Two dates are set, but the others are not. Watch the margin of my blog for further info.  Have A Whimsically Wonderful Wednesday!

Through various ways, I've confirmed most of what this website says.  It's a little blurry but those are roses this is a picture of my wedding bouquet Red roses generally mean love and desire, which is fantastic for me since I write fantasy/paranormal romance. (Although, if I find a lavender/purple rose background, I'll probably use that since purple roses mean fantasy). Anyway, to see what I'm talking about, head over to this website and have a peek . Even if you're not a rose fanatic it's an interesting site. Roses play an interesting role in romance and courtship. In the fairytale, Beauty & The Beast it...
