I thought it was some sort of weapon! 🧛

I was wrong too. I guessed it was a bolt gun to kill livestock for butchering. Guess I am a little gruesome minded huh?

My aunt used to be big time into hook rugs so I got this one right.

Mr Z, we seem to enjoy each others company and the things we do here quite well. If you don't then I believe that Patty stated our position quite well and a lot more politely than I would have.
