My christmas mermory is the 1st one that hubby Tim and I had together married.
I was 18 and he was 22 we didn't have much money. I made him a western shirt and he gave me a card to be redeemed on the 26th for a ride to Everrett to pick up my presant. I was very nervoius as to what it was. we had a lovly dinner at my folks then looked at the lights. The 26th we left on our trip to get my presant we pulled up in front of a furnature store and he had the clerk have a big bow on a beautiful rocking chair. I just this year gave it to my daughter to use in the future to rock her children in. I have spend many hours rocking my children , neices,nephews and freinds kids in that chair . My children are very aware of the love of the that chair. He had sold some very specail things to buy it for me.
I am a nut for rocking chairs, I had been looking and dreaming of a chair for our little 2 room apartment for a year. It would be 2 more years before it would be used for rocking babies.
I have made sure it was the first item unpacked everywhere we moved. Infact it was the only peice of furnature I brought with us to Montana all other things Except my maple table were left be hind. It was even used at the campground we stayed at for 2 months til we found a house.
I now have a replacement I got at an auction It s a 50 year old oak wide rocker. Used a lot for furbabies for now.
Just the look on hubbys face knowing he'd gotten me the thing I wanted most is the thing I cherish the most.
