Sometimes: The Red Chair and the Shrine

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Since The Tree is finally gone and The Red Chair has been strategically positioned in front of the window, I have a new favorite spot.It’s best when the sun is shining. I get to keep an eye on what is going on in the neighborhood, watch for Mommy to come home from work, and sun bathe – all at the same time. I think that’s called multi-tasking. I like it so much that sometimes I keep my vigil on The Red Chair even when it is raining, which is most of the time lately. My sister Lucy likes that chair also, and, strangely, her hair doesn’t stick all over it like it does on the other furniture. Sometimes we bark at squirrels and neighbors and delivery people; sometimes we bark and howl with the neighborhood dogs; and sometimes we just nap.

You’re a good sister, Xena.

And sometimes,  I – being a good sister – let Lucy have the chair all to herself!

Not always, but sometimes, we leave an offering to The Windowsill Shrine.* It’s the only picture of my Guardian Angel Lexi that I can reach. Sometimes she helps me with things, like not being afraid, so it seems like the thing to do. She doesn’t always want the offerings, so I take them back and offer them again another day.

  • The Mom’s Note: This picture was from the first date Lexi had with Noodle on Valentine’s Day 2015. Here they are dancing at a disco after having a romantic picnic in Central Park. Dancing was one of Lexi’s favorite hobbies, right after acting and eating.

  13. OMD, I wish I had a magical red chair in my house!!! Ma says I am too hyper to be by the front window, so I have to make due with the back patio door. sigh. Don’t gets me wrong, it’s FABulous to watch for tree rats and burdies and possums and raccoons and roof rats at night, butts I thinks I miss out on whats happenin’ in the hood. Anyhu, it is so nice to give your offerings to Angel Lexi…I just knows she loves them!
    Kisses,

  23. my first thought is that chair is perfect for me to sit and read in.. light coming over my shoulder, soft and comfy… we have two sofas like that chair, but in black and the reason is dog hair.. ha ha.. i must say you both look so comfy and beautiful laying on it together… Big says you are looking beautiful Lucy…

    We are kindred spirits, Xena-kutti… I sit at my desk facing out the window just like this and can see all there is to see (when it isn’t obscured by fog, rain, or rain, fog… hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
