Chair

We got this chair, one of four, in Arlington...or maybe Waltham.  Back when we lived in Cambridge.  Before the kids were born.  I think it was called a coffee house chair.  A coffee house chair was a good match for us.  We like to have people over to talk.  Though it's more likely to be over tea than coffee.

These days the chairs are at our big table where more than anything, they are used by children who are drawing, cutting, writing, talking, envisioning, imagining.  Sometimes they are used by us and our friends when we host common meal.  Sometimes they are used when we are celebrating a birthday or a holiday, with a crowd.  Sometimes they are used by Cap or me when we have paper work that requires spreading out.  Sometimes they are used by friends and family playing board games.  Or putting together 1000 piece puzzles.

One of the chairs, they inevitably get rotated when I vacuum, is always stationed at the desk.  Where my behind is so often planted as I write and read and share and communicate.  I am sitting on one now.
