Money Tree

Today we got a Bonsai Money Tree delivered to us. Attached was a card from daddy that read "Ruth, you always want flowers but they last a week...and they say money doesn't grow on trees. Every time the kids want money, we can tell them to go to the money tree. Enjoy the money tree. TDF John" (TDF stands for Turtle Doves Forever, an abbreviation John made up after we saw the movie Home Alone 2 shortly after we were engaged. We have a set of turtle doves replicas from the movie and if you have seen the movie, you understand the meaning.) Hopefully I won't accidentally kill the money tree...we have not had an indoor houseplant every since we gave our huge pine tree to my friend Jill because Jack kept eating the dirt out of it almost 5 years ago. Jack got all excited when he heard it was a money tree and then was disappointed when he realized it didn't grow real money.... :o)
