Something Old


One of my most treasured keepsake is this antique typewriter that i inherited from my maternal grandfather. I remember him typing away by this bedside while my cousins  and I play -run in and out of his room. For the longest time since he passed away ( 98 years old)... it just sat in our den as decoration/ book ends. 

Then one fine day I had it cleaned !!!


My kids were in such awe! "IT SPANKS MOM! -its like a stamp!"

My daughter writes her BFF a letter =)
("its sooo fun exept it has no delete button..")
Then she asks.. "mom what if i need more copies, how do i print?"
Now that's another story haha!
HAPPY MONDAY!

  3. This was so funny, M! You should have that letter framed.

    I love how she asked, "How do I print?"

    It's a beautiful typewriter though. Way older than the ones we learned to type on, no?
