Today I received the ultimate thank you note. I made a quilt for my new
neighbor here in The Swamp. He truly, dearly loves it. Will not sleep or
nap
without it. I was sure he appreciated it.
Not enough.
He brought me an eight-point buck by way of a thank-you note.
Well, fortunately, not the whole buck.
It is such a beautiful lovely mounted deer. I guess you call it a deer.
He is mounted here in the sewing room and makes quite a statement.
My idea of hunting would be to go out in the woods and get a deer to
roll over and let me rub his belly.
Quite a challenge to have the "thank you" here with me.
I am trying to get comfortable with this expression of appreciation. My
mother would say, "Now, don't that beat all?". Yes, I think it does.

Hmmmmm

I guess one would have to like that sort of thing. As a vegetarian, it would
freak me out. I could not have a dead animal carcass on my wall, but the
sentiment he was displaying was so sweet.

Gee - only eight points? Well, sigh and make do. Just think of all

Take it in the spirit it was meant. Hunters rarely give up prizes like that.
Sort of like when your kitty brings in a dead vole and preens and looks so proud
of himself.

8-points -- thread holder?

Hahahhahahahaahh. Thanks, Polly. That's priceless. You can do what I used
to do with DH's deer heads that were stuck on the wall in my living room:
Hang Christmas bulbs on them at the appropriate season and felt hats on them
the rest of the time.

Those white elephants can be worth big bucks (pardon my pun). I saw one
head sell for $10,000. It was huge, but still.

Is he likely to come to your house to visit his former possession? That
is,
will he be offended if you do not put it in a place of honor?

"White elephant" comes to mind. The origin of the phrase is that the King
of Thailand would give (=lifelong lease) white elephants to courtiers.
White
elephants couldn't be worked the way regular ones could (whether a
physical
problem with the albinism or a legend), so the courtier who got one had a
nonworking critter who consumed a lot of food, and the courtier could not
turn the elephant loose or let it die of neglect. Thus, the king used the
"gift" to ruin those courtiers who could be plotting against him.
