Lemme see, all my gifts were face to face... but I must admit, I've been tempted to be an elf before...
The first T I gave two pieces of azure beach glass
-terminationThe second T I gave a lovely phlox for her garden. She wrote me a letter this summer that it had been blooming non-stop. I know my T was an avid gardener.
CurrenT. lemme see-
This gets messy
1) he showed up at the cafe where I worked one evening. With his Wife. I gave them both free coffees. I was a nervous wreck. He bought 2lbs of coffee, which I had to grind without dropping anything. jeez!
2) He complained about the price of sbux, so I gave him a pound of some superdupersumatran--it was really pretty. Probably too bold for him, but whatever.
3) I gave him a can of macadamia nuts. H had come back from HI and we had a surplus of the buttery little bites. I kind of left it on his file cabinet surreptitiously. On my way out I said "I REALLY don't want to have to analyse this one, okay?" "Oh, there's nothing to analyse, you're just a nice person, that's all"3.5) I "loaned" him a book. Never heard about that again. It's got my last name in it. Wonder if I'll ever see it again. yikes! Been about 3 mos...
4) I gave him a christmas card today. I wrote a bit of a letter on it, telling him things that I appreciated about our work together. I was embarrassed, and made him open it up after I was gone. He had already stabbed it with this wicked letter opener, and I said "WAIT!!!" put that thing down!
