Do we honestly think we want to invite all 400+ people on a friend list - a whole bunch of which would simply be acquaintances - what does it say about the personal touches or the genuine invitations which really good friends ought to get? <a href="https://fictionpies.com">Deepa from FictionPies</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08190726711949079567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527908250630994905.post-15871185417411807632012-11-19T23:29:17.130+05:302012-11-19T23:29:17.130+05:30What else could be a special occasion in those goo...What else could be a special occasion in those good olden days, except for a New Year's eve?

I used to buy mainly flowers and had the same feeling, does these flowers really exist until some of those furious red roses grew in my own garden.
