I'm strolling through the thrift store and it's like it's talking to me. It's almost like it wasn't there and I got closer, and Boom ! There it was right in front of me. I swear if anyone else had picked that up in front of me and bought it, I, no doubt, would have cried. I sat my bottom in it started rocking and I know I had the goofiest grin on my face. It's comfortable, rocks smooth and as you can see the wood is Oak ! The workers there were bringing out a big cabinet and were coming toward me. I jumped up but still had a hold of the chair, (I was not letting go of it, I know what can happen in thrift stores, anyway) I'm still grinning from ear to ear and get out of their way. In fact I am now looking for Jim. I need to catch his eye and let him know we are buying this rocker. No ifs, ands or buts. He looks at me and I am pointing down at the chair, with of course the silly grin and say, Oh, Yeah ! He comes right over, I am so lucky that way, if he knows I really want something he never argues, just takes it and gets out his wallet and of course that is just what happened. I said I really want this rocker, let's not forget the goofy grin as I am telling him the beautiful wood, the beautiful leather and to top it off it folds up. He took the chair and got out his wallet. Wow! I am so lucky and so happy with it. How much did I pay, you ask ? 55.00. I think that is a steal, don't care what anybody else thinks. If you need me I will be sitting in my rocker, perhaps with a cup of tea. Tootles
