To Clarify Treated Well (The Rock and Ear Piece)

Hey guys! So just to help clarify the piece that seems to have you all perplexed, I'll explain the choice of the ear and the rock. Well, rocks tend to represent(for me at least) stability and strength both of which I feel are characteristics of said person. I chose an ordinary river rock because I also feel that this person is someone who is not really flashy, and pretty down to earth. The ear represents (to me) two things. One was how this person would listen. The other is how they would pretend to have the volume down on their hearing device and ignore certain people (so it's a bit of a humorous reminder for me). The entire piece is actually a puzzle of sorts as well (a noted favorite pastime of this person). There is no handle on the drawer, so one actually has to figure out how to open it to reveal what might be inside. Only by turning the ear can the drawer open to reveal the book (whose cover is cast of butterscotch) that contains a poem titled "Treated Well". The title "treated well" takes on a duel meaning, implying how I was treated by this person, and how I was often given treats by this person.

Whew, hope that helps.

Love you guys! ;o)

How could I forget about the humorous reminder. LOL.

Very much a puzzle. Of which this person was very fond of doing.

Perfect... I might add.
