Day 24 – STOOL

This maple stool and I go WAY back. I have had it for at least 30 years and who knows how long my parents had it before they gave it to me. But when we really bonded was during the high chair era. I sat on this stool, in front of the highchair for 3 meals and 2 snacks a day for a solid 4 years (that’s about 3,650 hours). And I continued to sit on this stool when the children were toddlers and able to sit at the kitchen island. Now the stool is used as the extra chair in the dining room when we have guests, the prop for HotWheels tracks and of course my step stool for accessing the highest kitchen cabinets. The picture doesn’t capture the paint splotches, the mystery stain on the seat, and the chew marks from 2 different dogs but they are there… tiny badges of honor.
