Rocking chairs are cool things to own. I have mine and the teddy bear that was sitting in it for my birthday in 1943. Survived daily use by my children and my two grandsons and still looks new. The bear lost his eyes and tongue long ago. Keep thinking I’ll have a great grandchild to pass things on to but no one yet!

Also have a picture of my adopted mom which was taken in 1917 and the original frame. And we have the English and math book that my mil used in 1923. Those that have looked at them can’t believe how challenging the math was back then.

That’s really awesome.

We know they’re just things, but the memories attached to them are priceless anyhow.
