TYPEWRITER REMEMBERED

When our kids were little they would play with their Grandma Petersen's old typewriter.  Robert said it was in his childhood home in Ferron and must be at least 80 years old.  Shannon inherited it and found a company in eastern US who had parts to rebuild it into working order.  After several months, here is the result, complete with 2 tone ribbon. 

Now the next generation loves to play with it.  I tried it and was aghast at how hard the fingers have to touch the keys to get a letter to stroke on the paper.  We have it so easy today.  But it is fun to look at the past and wonder how did they ever make do.
