Ponytail Palm

This is an image of my husband's ponytail palm. It is reported to be about 20 years old. It was a gift to him from a friend at work. Actually, the friend was leaving employment and planned to discard the palm. My husband was shocked that anyone would harm a living plant - he is a green-thumb kind of guy. So, he brought the plant home. It lives in our garage in the winter, and on our porch in the summer. He replants it about every three years.
We have been updating our wills - and he is unsure which of the children will want this plant that is so precious to him.
Back to news about the bride. My daughter was given her first shower this week by friends and teachers at her school in Wyoming. She teaches fifth grade. She received gift cards, money, and several gifts. She was pleased and thankful.
My sister, Christi, is planning a Memphis shower for the Sunday before the wedding. She has been in a redecorating, cleaning mode at her home. More details to follow.
The wedding is less than three weeks away. I am getting excited.

Mother of the Bride.
