a new treasure

for a long time now have i been looking to add type writer to our office. i just never found one that was usable and not super expensive because of it's antiquity...
so the first opportunity i got in switzerland was the flea market in our neighborhood. and what did i spot right away... yes a mechanical type writer and it seemed to work flawlessly. hurray!
the same afternoon i went to the store to buy ink-band, as the old one was totally dried up. it was a long three days we were not able to use our new treasure. but the morning arrived when i went back to the store to pick up the new ink-band.
the kids came home from school for their lunch brake and of course all three of them ran to the type writer and one after the other had to try the magical machine. i was standing by and enjoyed the moment.
the past few mornings, naomi took the opportunity of not having to compete with the boys for the type writer. so she was writing whole sheets of paper full, her letters to the teacher, her friends, her momy, her sister....

elias startet to write his math problems on the type writer... and amos started a letter, o of course not just one, a few dozen...
