I received the lion in the above photograph from my sister Susan as a birthday gift last week. And this particular lion has a story behind it, too. Many years ago my sister gave my father Nelson a ceramic lion as a birthday gift. He liked it very much, as did my sister. In fact, she liked it so much she decided to keep it for herself. She wound up giving him the lion she recently gave me in place of the first one. My father was a good sport about it all, and actually thought it was pretty funny. My sister still has the original lion. Some people might call my sister an Indian giver, but I am told that is politically incorrect.. I guess the expression now should be "Native American giver."
