Dalanie scored this typewriter at a garage sale. She was pleased as punch with her $1 purchase and couldn't wait to get home and start using it. It's been perched on nearly every table in the house so as to be accessible any time she gets the urge to type. We may have a writer on our hands, but then again, maybe a mathematician since she refers to the typewriter as her "number thingy."
I had to give Dalanie a crash course on typewriters and it made me remember all the time we would mess around with my Grandma Parish's typewriters. She had quite a few. Somehow the keys responded best to her strong fingers. It took a direct hit from a deliberately pointed finger to get a letter to show up on the paper for me.

Electric?! Dalanie is pretty high tech! :) I loved messing around on Grandma's, too. And then the one at our house.
Teach little D the joys of typing on tin foil-- that's my favorite!
