The hearthside chair
The door was open. Literally, I mean. The heavy metal door was unlocked, so I pulled it open. Behind it, a screen door like the kind on a 1950s house. I pushed it open, using my elbow, and stepped inside. Not far, though, as the floor was covered with debris and I am not quite current on my tetanus shot.
But across the room, I saw this chair and heater, looking quite happy together.

Love the tone of this – and the light and lines. And of course, the subject! Road trip!

I think they WERE talking about the good ol’ days – but quickly changed the subject to nosy photographers.

It’s funny you should say that, because last thing I remember, I was running for the door…

The detritus of the departed – my mind wants to know something of the history – what stories these objects could tell if only furniture could speak.

I like “the detritus of the departed.” In fact, “detritus” is one of my favorite words. And you just KNOW that chair could tell us some great stories….
