For those of you who know the story, it continues yet today, since we have new people who now know about it. It happened by mistake. Jerry and Dana were given a huge poinsettia plant, but they already had one-so they gave it to me. It had a few spots on it, but looked good. By morning it had lost a large amount of leaves and really looked sick. I knew they'd feel bad about it, so I decided to tell them that it was a terrible thing to do to "the queen". You should have heard them laugh when we told them the story. A couple nights later they insisted we tell Larry and Joanie, who of course laughed just as much. Larry especially liked the part about the nurse giving Kris the plant wrapped in a blanket instead of her new baby. Anyway, when we were leaving Francisco, Larry swears a poinsettia just happened to fall near his feet, so he could give it to me. I'm not sure that's how it happened, and God knows his witnesses can't be trusted. Here it is.
The guy in the red shirt is Larry. Would you trust him?
I was just thinking that it probably is about time to thank Marvin for all the smiles and laughter that he's caused throughout the years. (since the 1980's) On second thought, it's probably too soon!
