Yellow Rose of . . .

As a little girl, I loved to sing "The Yellow Rose of Texas." That was possibly before I had ever been to Texas. Certainly it was before I realized that I couldn't sing! ;-)

Now I have been to Texas several times -- to visit friends, to attend conferences, and to travel the Intracoastal Waterway from Galveston to Mexico -- and I still love to sing the song.

But these roses are not in Texas. They are in my backyard. So I guess I have a little bit of Texas right here.

It's been a good Sunday, but I am very tired.

Good night from Southern California.
