President Lincoln-Lilac

[L Verge]

My father would definitely have approved of your flowers, Herb. My mother was a flower freak, so she literally walked into the flower shop and told the florist that she wanted to spend $500 on the flowers for the bride, attendants, corsages for mothers and grandmothers, boutonnieres for the men, decorations for church and reception hall, and anything else he could throw in. That was a lot of money in 1972. My father knew to keep his mouth shut!

When we got divorced, she laughingly asked me if I thought it was too late to get her money back. After eleven years. yeah, probably so!
