an incident...

the chair that we've been waiting for months to be re-upholstered was finally finished! we were so excited when we went by yesterday to see it. dh sat in it, and i sat it in. it was cushy and comfy and fit well. it was custom reupholstered in woven toile we purchased while in the nyc fashion district/fabric row. it was dh's favorite chair - a gentleman's chair, with a lot of style and comfort. a style they don't make anymore. so we were so excited when i found a custom upholstery guy to do the job.

well...living where we live...the coastal wind gets really strong. as i was looking out the backyard window just now, i saw the wind blow over our hose reel. not only did it just blow over, the wind was so strong it flipped it over and tossed it aside like it didn't weigh anything.

so that just gave me an image of what happened to our chair as it sat in the bed of the truck as dh drove it on the highway...and over the bridge & causeway. of course i wasn't there and don't know where or how it happened, but i know that driving over the bridge once, the wind was so strong it fought against our car, pushing it, and i had to fight for control of steering.

so sad. i was so sad. dh was so sad. our newly reupholstered chair was destroyed by the strong winds. lifted up off the bed of the truck and tossed onto the highway like a rag or piece of trash. when it was our lovely chair. when dh arrived home it was a sad day.

the chair now sits battered in the garage.
