Doing My Part

On Monday I went shopping. We had 2 chairs in our living room that were literally falling apart and needed replaced. The age of those chairs was roughly 20 years old. Both had some major spring action going on and sagging bottoms and worn out spots. Believe me if I would have known someone who could have fixed them and reupholstered them that would have been my first choice. I am all for saving anything worth salvageable. Besides, that recliner was one of the first Father's Day gifts from our girls to their dad, so it did have some sentimental value. I found a new recliner for my husband and a new occasional chair with ottoman for me......and to my absolute delight they were both made in the USA!! YEAH!!! One chair was a LANE, the other an ENGLAND brand. And this is not the end of this story.....the old chairs sat out by the end of the driveway and within 3 hours some pickers came and took them, so maybe they will be repaired and serve a purpose in a new home. I went to bed feeling satisfied that I had helped some people keep their jobs right here in our country. Now, have you been able to do your part this week? If not, then maybe another time you will find an opportunity to keep America working. God Bless America, God Bless You.♥
