Windchimes
We have two old pieces of metal hung in the evergreen on the northwest corner of our home. Nothing fancy. On a day such as this, sitting in my bedroom porch, it can very well lull me into total relaxation making me believe it came from a high-end nursery.
Yesterday, it was the straw that crimped my patience. My cherry red reading and sewing chair hugs my back to perfection in my bedroom porch. It was a gently used Bernina chair the Fairfax team had found at Goodwill for Mother’s Day of 2023. The rollers were a bit stiff. Dennis took the chair out to the front deck and de-frocked those rollers with a whole bunch of sewing threads and carpet threads. As I have said this chair is fantastic . . . roller wise . . . not so much.
At Easter Kevin replaced one of the rollers on my sewing chair in the basement from a five pack from Amazon. I remember Kevin mentioning that chairs with rollers use pretty much universal rollers. Dennis helped me pull four of the five rollers off of my sewing and reading chair. At first I thought, I was too heavy for the chair to roll easily. When I read the box that contained the four rollers we were going to swap out, the label listed “Up to 1,000 lbs. each.” Well, well, well. The swap-out went well and I am amazed in the difference of the chair moving from point A to point B. The fifth old roller of the cherry red chair is going to have to keep up until such time an Amazon order is placed when the rollers of the chairs at the dining table give out.
After a nap and a snack, Dennis is off in his little red pickup to see what is happening around town.
I had boiled eggs, diced onions and mixed in some bought Gerry’s Original potato salad. Dennis says its my extra touches that make it almost as good as starting from scratch.
With that I take my leave. ♥
