This is the Story of a Jade Plant

When Ron was in High School he took a green house class.  In this class one of the things he did was start a jade plant off the the jade plant that was at the High School.  Now mind you when he did this the start was only about 2 inches long.  He took it home and for those who know Ron know how passionate he is about gardening, the plant grew and grew.  When he went away for the Air Force he gave it to a couple in our ward, the Watsons.  Fast forward about 8 years after graduating High School (for Ron).  When we bought our house Jackie Watson said that as our housewarming gift she was going to give us the Jade plant that Ron had given her so many years ago.  Here is Jade today.

 She looks beautiful in our dining room.  And as a thank you to the Watsons we are starting another plant off of this one for her and for her daughter Collettes house.  This story doesn't have an ending, at least not yet...
