A Journal With Everything

Favorite Chair

Prompt: Joy asked us to pick out a favorite chair in a room in the house and write about it's history.

I chose a chair from my front room edition. It is a red velvet recliner that belonged to my grandmother. It is 50 years old. Grandma would sit in this chair and read her Bible. A big, brown basket laid by the chair and a gray tabby cat slept in the basket. The beige cat would jump in the chair and sleep in it when Grandma wasn't in it. Grandma would sit in this chair and knit. She watched TV.

The stick shift on the chair is broke now. The chair sits by a card table where I scrapbooked and it is by a book shelf and totes with books. I sat out there and read sometimes. I always loved this chair. I can't recline in it but I can sit in it. It is special because it was Grandmas chair. It will be my chair as long as I am around.
