Passing Them On

the table and chairs I used when I was 2 years old

As I prepare for my 6th move in under 5 years (yes, you read that right), there are things that I cannot take with me. The red table and chairs I had when I was 2 years old – that would be 1965 – have met that fate.

so many memories through the years

I used these until I outgrew them but my mom saved them. They moved with me at the end of 1987 when I moved from California to Utah. Then in 1993, my daughter Tiffany used them [I am sure I have a photo somewhere with Tiffany]. And then in 2004, my granddaughter Ayla used them.

I reached out to a friend – Amanda – who I worked with at a previous job who has a daughter that can use these. She gladly said yes and came over to pick them up this week. I didn’t want to just get rid of them and was happy that they can be used by another little one.

I admit to being a bit sad as I have had them over 58 years. But happy they found a new home.
