Photo Friday: The Return of the Rocking Chair


The last time we were in West Virginia in 2021, or possibly the time before in 2020, we got a rocking chair at a place called Tamarack. It is a place that sells artisan goods that are made in West Virginia. If memory serves, Rose’s son bought it for her, perhaps as a birthday gift. At $400 it was an expensive rocking chair.

The chair returned with us to Florida at the end of our visit in 2021, when we decided to rent out the house there. We had the movers bring it back when we returned to West Virginia this spring, not expecting to sell the house three months later.

Since the chair was important to Rose, she left it with her manager there with the intention of picking it up during her next business trip. However, she decided she couldn’t wait that long, so she asked her manager to ship the $400 chair back to us for around $650.

It arrived here about eight days ago.

It came with so much cardboard and bubble wrap that I have been putting it in our trash and recycling a little at a time as space allows. I still have bubble wrap to dispose of.

    That is a beautiful and well crafted rocker……..over 30 years ago when we moved into our brand new home we bought easy chair/rockers for the living room and they are still here today. Now that we’re old(er) we appreciate the rocking capability more than ever…..they can somewhat propel you out of your chair which comes in handy at a point in your life! Now we also have rockers on our front porch – we’re HAPPY ROCKERS!

    Hugs, Pam
