Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: What’s This?

OK. I’ll tell you “what’s this”….

When we returned from a fun week in Mexico the end of February, we discovered that the stand-up freezer in our garage had gone belly-up during our absence. We had to throw everything out and retro-fit the freezer unit in the kitchen refrigerator to store a (now limited) supply of frozen goods there until we can find a replacement. Unfortunately, at some point, the door to the now-defunct freezer was closed all the way and we, ahem, had another mess to clean.

Thanks to my enterprising husband and a sturdy leather glove, the door now stands ajar and so long as the glove, um, ‘fits’, there should be no further messes to attend to.

Cee’s asked us this week to present our take on her Indoor Seating Fun Foto Challenge. This is from my Sawmill collection, photos taken after my dad died in 2007. He owned and operated Clark’s Sawmill for fifty years. It was his pride, his joy and largely defined who he was and how he felt about himself as a man, a father, a husband and a provider. He told me once that when he went to bed at night he could hardly wait to get up in the morning to go back to work.

This was his ‘throne’, the place where he sat to make it all happen – loading logs from the ramp to run through the big blade. It was my dad’s favorite seat in the house – or pretty much anywhere for that matter.
