Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they buy a gift. If he bought those trees (he bought 100 of them - I know because I am the bookkeeper! - at $8.00 each including mailing) for his clients and business contacts, what will they think. Do you think I am really going to water it and then find a 1 gallon container, replant it and then in three months replant it in the ground? A Giant redwood tree?

Last year a financial planner sent Frank and I a ornamental tree that was all theses berry thingys in a cone of foam from the Crate and Barrel catalog. He's Jewish and so are we. I cannot fathom what we are supposed to do with it. It's the kind you might group as a centerpiece, but a solitary one looks funny by itself.
