OMG, I Almost Forgot Debbiedo’s Party

I know you will forgive me though, I’ve had company since July 21st, not the same people/relatives, just different ones at different times! Today my son left for Annapolis so I think we are done now.
When my husband’s sister was here their brother took us all out to dinner then we went to his home, well when I went into his garage I saw this metal stool that has to be from the 30’s or 40’s…I made a big fuss over it and he said that I could have it if I want, well, yeah and free I might add! So here it is in my home, I sat it on the fireplace hearth so you could see it better. Johnny is a fleamarketer, he sales and buys, you should see the stuff he has…wood signs, tin signs, crocks… just anything you can imagine he has it! Not just thrown around either but kept very orderly!

It has the rubber thingys on each leg and the top is so worn, see!

I don’t know what to do with it as far as painting it goes, black with a stenciled white number on it? I’ve seen them done and I just fell in love with them! In a way I hate to ruin the patina of it but I don’t have any red in my home. I think I’ll keep it right here in the room off the kitchen, can’t you just see it painted black with a white number on it?

Also last weekend we celebrated my sister Judy’s birthday and I framed this for her, I found it on facebook, my cousin had shown her dad and other people along with my sister, brother and parents. I cropped everyone out but my mom and dad, sister and brother, I’d never seen this picture so you can imagine the wonderful “shock” it was to see them on FB. The year is 1940 they had my brother and sister before the war and my other brother and me after the war was over. I enlarged it to a 5x7 but with old photos it’s hard to do without losing the facial features. Anyway when my sister unwrapped it she cried, I think my parents were in their early 20’s in this picture and the water behind them is Lake Erie! My brother standing there in front died when he was in his mid 50’s from cancer, so bittersweet! Anyway I wanted to share it with all of you.
