In Grandmother's Day

Day 203: This dresser belonged to my late husband's grandmother and came with the pioneer-family home when we inherited it, along with several other pieces of furniture of the same vintage all faced with a dark oak veneer. As new marrieds, we were grateful for anything functional, and although Bruce would have preferred to modernize, I loved the antiques, scarred and damaged as they might have been. Surface flaws aside, the locks on this dresser are still functional. The mismatched keys were those Grandma had placed inside the drawer, and both open the simple locks. One has to wonder how much of today's chipboard furniture will still survive a century? I suspect this dresser will be around to take the census.
