Way Back When: The Rocking Chair

  

 I found some old pictures and just wanted to share them and a little bit of the story behind them                                                                                                         

I don't remember this picture being taken I'd have been about two or three.


This is me on my Grandpa's rocking chair. He had two favoured seats in his house, the far left on the three seater couch closest to my Grans arm chair and this rocking chair.

 My cousins and I broke it a few times, but never to the point of disrepair. It was around long before us and I never did know what happened to it when they passed.

But its one of the first things I think of when I picture there living room, It sat between the Piano and Jigsaw table.

I used to think it was the coolest thing ever, cause it was a chair you were ALLOWED to swing on. Simpler times and all that.

I'm 100% going to buy a rocking chair when I have my own home one day!

The weird thing about this photo is that there is clearly a bit of mess made by children's toys. And I never remember this being the case at there house. There was a big teddy that sat on the chair at the top of the stairs and there were a few games and children jigsaws in the cupboard under the stairs but that was it.

It's strange how our memories work.
