I bought Mrs, Lionelski 2 dozen long stem roses, the real expensive kind that come with a tube of water on each and every stem. No, I won't tell you what I did, but I figured that getting back in her good graces only a couple weeks before York would be a good thing.
I made this propane storage facility by painting these tubes grey, cutting out an ad for the sign from the Yellow pages (remember them?) and adding some old model spues.
