For more than 30 years, we had the same table and chairs in our kitchen. The table is a very heavy wood table, handmade by someone we bought it from. It looks kinda like this one.🙂
and the chairs were the heaviest wooden chairs I have ever seen in my life...They looked like this, but heavier.🫤
We started with 6 of them, but over the years, they got moved into bedrooms to be used to sit in front of the PC or got broken, until we were down to 2 chairs. This was ok beucase the only time spent at the table was for cooking and prepping, and my daughter and I would play cards. So, 2 chairs were fine. Then last year, my Husband and kids put down a new kitchen floor. It was awesome, but very soon it got torn up by scooting the 2 wooden chairs back and forth, and the table would get leaned against when cooking, especially when rolling things out.🙂
Well, we were all really sad about this because it had taken us over 20 years to finish the floor after pulling all the tile and linoleum up. Black tar paper and old wood planks were our floor for lots of years. So I came up with what I thought was the greatest idea ever. We had just bought an office chair to replace the big, heavy wooden chair in the living room that sat in front of the PC, and I thought, now wouldn't it be great to have chairs with wheels in the kitchen. So, we bought 4 more office chairs. This is what they look like.🙂
Well, it was a great idea, except I had forgotten that our kitchen floor is a little unlevel. It goes downhill a little towards the front of the kitchen. The new chairs have no brakes, so they roll downhill.🤣
When I sit down to work at the table doing my gem art, puzzles, or math, I slowly roll down hill. However, I have found a wonderful silver lining. I sit on the chair and use my legs to pull me back into place at the table, and my leg muscles get a small workout over and over and over again each day. My dogs love to help Granny with her workout too. They are pure muscle American Bullies, and they just walk past my chair and give it a bump, and away I go..😄
It looks kinda like that except I am a chubby old lady and I go MUCH slower..🤣🤣🤣

Life, for me, is the greatest adventure. I just love it.❤
