It Is Only A Table

In September, 2007, I wrote my very first blog entry titled "If My Kitchen Table Could Talk".  I have written hundreds of blog posts since then.  Now, here I am back to a table.  But this one is my dining room table.  I have had it longer than the kitchen table.  Every day life happened at the kitchen table.  Holidays and special events happened at the dining room table.

The table itself and six chairs were purchased in Amarillo.  Antique mahogany in poor condition.  I had them restored after moving to Lubbock.  While living in Collierville, a friend found a buffet to match.  It was in really poor condition.  I had it restored also.  Then I found a hutch to match that was in great shape.  This dining room furniture was not used as much, but definitely loved as much as the kitchen table.  Maybe more.

It has been in storage and I can't continue to pay storage on this furniture.  I am getting rid of it for whatever I can get.  There is other furniture too, but none as dear as this dining room furniture.  This is crazy.  I have wept over this furniture.  It is only a table.  And six chairs, a hutch and buffet.

I have so many things to be thankful for.  And, I know that.  And, it is insane to weep over getting rid of furniture.  Inanimate objects.

It is only a table.  But I sure hope it gets a good new home.
