Picture 1/17: Toadstool Stool

January 17

(picture 17 of 365)

We visited Dad and Mom today.

And I spotted something that I had not seen in quite some time:

The "toadstool stool".

I'm not sure it's older than me, but it's probably close.  Mom painted those mushrooms years and years ago.

Again, I had not seen this stool in years, but once I spotted it, I immediately recognized it.

It use to sit in the living room.  And if I'm not mistaken, it served as a corner post for several blanket tents as I was growing up.

Isn't it funny how spotting something from one's past can trigger such a flood of sweet memories?

Out for now......
