I stumbled onto this little gem today..a "quiet de luxe model" royal typewriter from the 1940s at a local thrift store for $10. I did a little research & this model is suppose to be one of Ernest Hemingway's favorites.
I have been wanting to find an old typewriter for Jack. He loves to type on the computer & I knew he would love this!! The thrift stores around here are like gold mines...you can find all kinds of treasures..old books, furniture & even cool clothes. Today my heart skipped when I saw a big black box sitting on a bottom shelf with lots of dated computer items...please be a typewriter!!.. When I got the box opened, I was sooo excited. I snatched it up, like I found a brand new mac.
Just after I surprised him with it, he gave me this little note....
