FIVE wooden stools?
why not six? or 8?
And why is there any
tenderness
towards an ol' wooden stool?
it's probably just me
my kids wood (pun intended) say
"mom, U are just too sentimental over things"
YOU be the judge.....
am i crazeee for holding onto some
"dumb old wooden stools"
Or
do you see how a stool could take someone on a
sentimental journey?
When we lived in Oregon, we had the kitchen remodeled
I wanted to have a "quick" sit-down
just for the kids
and
a place for EACH one of them
so, it was that we had five children
hence, FIVE stools
it's as if these stools hold a
memory card full of pictures
I see lots of mornings where I'm cooking breakfast
and the kids are getting ready for school
I see days that they came home from school
and sat down to a slice of home baked bread
MANY
other memories pop into mind
when I take just a few minutes
to
reminisce
FIVE wooden stools
remind me of
wonderful memories of
FIVE young children
who are all grown-up now
I say to myself, as my eyes get a bit watery,
"getting rid of these stools would be like
throwing away a memory card full of pictures"
What do YOU think?

Annie, I love the story of your 5 wooden stools. I bet the 5 wooden stools bring back good memories when the kiddos were little. I have 5 stools too and not 4 or 6.
Oh, Millie! you finally were able to get "in the door". Thanks for your kind comments!

I am very sentimental, keep them for the grandchids!!!
I hope you do not mind, I grabbed your button for my blog.
I think you have a wonderful memory and should keep them. I have a small table and only 1 chair left (the others got a little abused by the boys) that were my childrens' memory spots. Now my grandson fills that spot.
My mom gave me the little rocker and table that I used when I was a child. Would your children each like their own stool to be used in their home now, perhaps with their own children. Write a special memory on the bottom in marker and pass on the memories:)
