What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? – Now there is a brain twister from the daily writing prompt. I have a lot of old things, now what gets use?
I had to think about this one for a minute but then, there it was. I was sitting at my father’s desk working on this post and an email to my son wishing him a happy Father’s Day and editing photos and realized the desk was the oldest thing I use daily.
The computer has always been on that desk and that means the last 45 years at least. It’s a beautiful desk, made of cherry wood. It’s not real big, good for a laptop and prevents me from being a pig with papers building up.
Kind of fitting this question would come up on Father’s Day. A reminder of his presence in my life. And when my days are done, I’ll have his desk refinished for my son. Maybe I’m doing work he didn’t get to complete.
