Today is President Bush's 62nd birthday. Take a look at what the White House staff gave him as a gift:
The party for birthday on Sunday was informal; the gift was not. The staff presented him with a wooden box made from a giant oak tree that fell on the White House lawn in 2007. Some of the wood from the tree, planted by Benjamin Harrison's daughter in 1892, had been sent to Texas to be fashioned into a box about 12-by-18 inches. They filled it with notes and cards from members of his senior staff.
A wooden box made from a giant oak tree that fell on the White House lawn in 2007. They turned a potential disaster into a plain wooden box. The creativity is just astonishing, isn't it?
