Last week two of our grandchildren stayed with s for a few days.
They found my old typewriter that I used in college. It wasn’t new when I bought it and I don’t have the manual for it anymore (if ever) so I’ve forgotten what some of the keys did or how to set the tabs. But our grandson loved plinking around on it.
Our granddaughter typed a short story on it but was interested in making some shrink art. We printed out some b/w pictures from the internet and she used colored pencils to liven them up. I forgot to take pictures of the finished product.
We also made homemade ice cream, grilled pizza (their favorite), and watched a great movie that was “before their time”: Secondhand Lion.
Mr. Aitch and I were worn out when they went home.
That sounds like a great time. A typewriter is an amazing find for kids!

And it took more pressure on the keys to type than the computer keyboards used today.
