Okay, so you know you're getting old and sentimental when you get attatched to a kitchen stool. We've had this thing probably at least 10 years. It's been here ever since I have. I've recovered the seat twice, and we've reinforced the back with old wire hangers twice also. Last weekend, it finally got to the point where it was no longer safe to use. So, we decided to get rid of it.
That slant is not exaggerated. It was in bad shape! Here's where the drama unfolds... (our lives are not interesting enough, so we have to make everyday things dramatic...ordinary people would have put the stool out by the curb, but...)
THE DEATH OF OLD FAITHFUL
(suspenseful music plays)
"Time to say goodbye..."
"From this valley they say you are going.."
"Oh, I can't look! This is all so horrible!"
It's over...sob!
But, wait!
OLD FAITHFUL LIVES AGAIN!
Today, the kitchen stool was back! Aunt Carol very matter-of-factly said "If that thing goes, I go. It's been here as long as I have." (Yes she really said that.) She took it over and put a new bolt on one of the legs. I reckon it will service us for another ten years now!
The masterpiece
It's a beautiful thing!
