We couldn't rock hard (Mom, the property enforcement officer, would stop us) but I enjoyed it anyway. I have been looking to get a rocker for the living room but I just can't find one that appeals to me visually. I guess maybe I've been looking for one with red upholstery and didn't even know it! The chair looks great and I can't wait until I get to sit in it again on our visit this summer!! Love and miss you guys so much!<br><br>Love,<br>EdEdwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18313900329384408771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262879922296822557.post-70011485063450766652009-12-22T22:49:55.183-08:002009-12-22T22:49:55.183-08:00When Hannah was almost a year old Alpheus bought m...When Hannah was almost a year old Alpheus bought me a gliding rocker so that I could have one in the living room and one in the nursery. I rocked Hannah to sleep each night in Papaw's before that. When I tried to rock her in the other chair she would fuss and not go to sleep. As soon as I would move over to Papaw's she would go right to sleep. We think it was the creaking noise.LOL <br><br>I am sorry to say that after it's visit to the "doctor" that it doesn't creak anymore. I am hoping we can wear it back into the creak! :)<br><br>Thanks for sharing how much it means to you too!

There are so few tangible things left from Papaw and Mamaw; I am so glad that you realize the value of what might have seemed worthless to others. Does the chair still creak when you rock? The one thing I remember about it is listening to it creak as Papaw rocked in it on the front screened-in porch. BTW, that house, which is still there and occupied, was also built by him some 60+ years ago! Seeing your joy and knowing how much this chair means to you and yours brought a few tears to my eyes as well! ☺Aunt Lynnenoreply@blogger.com
