30 years

I've been at the library for thirty years. Well, you stay put in any job and the time does go by.

There was a ceremony last night at Town Hall, and Suzy Q brought me some roses - some white, and some pink.  She's my boss.

First of all, in this house there is nowhere to put a large bouquet or vase of flowers where a cat won't go, and maybe tip them over.

The pinks had thick stems and the whites had thin. So I cut the stems and separated them into two more manageable groups.  The pinks went into a quart mason jar. The whites are in my favorite bottle for roses. 

The cats won't bother them.
