Retro Typewriter

When I was in high school I took a steno/typing class.  Even though I was tracking to go to college, I decided to fill in my empty spots with these courses.  I LOVED typing and my parents gave me my first typewriter for Christmas.  It wasn't this one, but I've loved these machines ever since.

After I relocated to Texas I spent some years looking in the antique shops to see if I could find a typewriter for a decent price and in decent condition.  About a year ago I came across this one.

It was $19.95 and it had a carrying case with it.

I couldn't resist, so I bought it.  I need to get a new ribbon for it, otherwise it's in perfect condition.

I didn't do much today.  Played pickle-ball all morning, then to the grocery store~~I still can't believe the price of groceries!!!

Then home where I haven't done one constructive thing all day.  Oh well.

Three photos down, 362 to go.  

 I feel like Julie in "Julia and Julie" when Julie decided to work her way through the Julia Childs cookbook, blogging about how she's doing.

I need to find a list of photo subjects to keep me going. 

Have a great weekend!

Royal Typewriter

I went to several antique stores this morning and saw a few different typewriters.  I really want one.  I almost purchased this one but then I remembered I don't have a single flat surface on which to put it where it can be seen as decor.  I'm working on it, but it still might be a while.  I also want a rotary dial phone...  Be patient, I keep telling myself.

My heart is grateful for:

my memory of those retro items
