The Typewriter

Over Christmas break we all went to lunch at Olive Garden and on the way home, the kids asked if we could go to DI. So we stopped in. While there, Cache found a typewriter that he just HAD to have. . .so he forked out $1.50 for this "cool, retro typing machine". He has now decided that his parents had it hard (but more like grandparents since we learned on electric typewriters). . . after all on a manual typewriter your fingers have to work much harder and have to manually return it to the next line. He has learned for himself why the shift key is actually called the shift key (it actually shifts!) And how in the world do you actually center something on the center of the page?? Oh the limitations of a typewriter!

So in this day and age, what in the world do you use a typewriter for? He is determined to do at least one school assignments on it (I wish him luck!!!) and perhaps even take it to school and use it to take notes (teachers will LOVE him!) For other ideas, read on!

Type up your priesthood assignments. . . Type while you eat lunch. . . . Type up the text on your playing cards. . . . Type on the way to Danny's baptism. . . .What kinds of things do you type? Click on the images to find out! With how much mileage we've gotten out of this typewriter, it was well worth the $1.50! (and as Cache would say, don't be jealous!)
