We went there after breakfast this weekend at HomeGrown and actually found one that we both liked. I never really thought Brian and I would be purchasing a recliner at this stage in life. I have always associated recliners with grandparents and old people general. I have never thought of myself as &#8220;old&#8221; (except when I wake up in the morning and can barely move) but I guess we kind of fit that demographic now. <\/p>\n<p>We had a recliner back in the day, when we lived at our old house. I think it might have come from either Brian&#8217;s parents or grandparents. I didn&#8217;t think people actually bought recliners. I always just assumed it was something that you got handed down to you from older relatives. I supposed when you are old and, there&#8217;s no one to hand one down to you, then you would theoretically buy one but I honestly didn&#8217;t think we were there at that stage of life yet.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/101894064\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Ching and the Cats\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/30\/101894064_c5d7a1f919_m.jpg\" height=\"172\" alt=\"Ching and the Cats\"\/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/480716\/in\/datetaken\/\" d title=\"chair\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1\/480716_6cbdde1325_m.jpg\" height=\"172\" alt=\"chair\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cats (we used to have three cats 20 years ago) and I spent quite a lot of time in that chair and I found it very comfortable but I never thought we would actually buy one. At least until much later in life and I didn&#8217;t think we were &#8220;that&#8221; old yet. Well, maybe Brian is. He is over 50 now after all. Although, I think the real catalyst was all the time he spent sitting (and napping) in a recliner during his cancer treatment. The comfy recliners at the cancer center have ruined him from sitting in a normal chair for good.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/54196273891\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54196273891_3c801764d1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We looked online some and went to the Ashley showroom that is by our house one weekend. We didn&#8217;t really see anything we absolutely loved. Fast forward to this past Saturday. We found a loveseat recliner that checks all the boxes (and then some) and it didn&#8217;t cost $5,000 so, after some deliberation, we decided to go ahead and pull the trigger. Tell you what. Brian is sooo excited! <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/54358434869\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54358434869_7e28ee3a34_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am excited because it&#8217;s a loveseat without cup holders in the middle to keep us apart, so we can recline and snuggle up together. Stay tuned for pics for when it&#8217;s finally delivered! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you to everyone who recommended looking at La-Z-Boy for recliners.
