Have a Seat, Dad (Flavor/Gracious Living‪)‬

Today, on Father's Day, help the man of the house put his feet up in style so he can relish some quiet time and reflect on how important he is to his family. Let him rest in an Adirondack-style chair.These comfy seats with their trademark splayed backs and wide armrests have grown more popular in our coastal community - kind of funny when you consider that this iconic outdoor chair got its start more than 100 years ago near the rugged Adirondack Mountains of New York's north country. The basic history of the chair goes like this: A fellow named Thomas Lee hammered the first one together in Westport, N .Y., in 1903 to provide inexpensive seating for his vacationing family. The odd angles that, at first glance, make the chair look like it's about to fold up allowed folks to sit comfortably while perched on a slope.
