Amazing that you still have that. I have so little from the past; it's fun to see how much you've been blessed with over the years.
These are so cool, Susan. What a sweet way to remember your grandfather.

I love old things with stories!
You are so right: we are writing a story with our daily lives - one that will either honor or dishonor The Giver of Life. That's both exciting and challenging!
Love love love the photos and the story of your grandfather. How special!
i am in love with this post! these are quite possibly my favorite photos that you've ever posted.
i was just looking at my best friend's two vintage type writers today... one of which i gave here, and was seriously considering taking back... not really, but i sure wish i had taken some cool photos of it before i gave it to her. that's okay... i know where she lives. : )
wonderful post, s.!
Oh how I love the plunk and clunk...
You do it again and again, marrying words with images in perfect unison. I love it.
Blessings.
cool. xox
And your words and the quotes you post always impart grace and joy, along with wonderful photos. Thank you.
Perfectly done in sepia.
Beautiful pictures. As I was looking at the photos I could actually smell the ink from the old manual typewriter we use to have at our home. That really took me back! Your words are beautiful as well.
What beautiful condition that typewriter is in. My son bought an old one just for the pleasure of hearing the keys tapping.
How precious it is! Just wonderful!
What great shots of that old typewriter. It's great that you still have it!
That is a terrific tribute!
such gorgeous gold
& it imprints
our words
with the
care
they
are
meant
to be
delivered with.
LOVE THIS.
Such beauty and sharing today, Susan... that typewrite is a treasure! :o) ((HUGS))
Ah the ol' manual typewriter. I hate to 'date' myself but that is what I learned to type on in grade 10. Then by grade 11 we had a couple of IBM electric typewriters. Wow ~ that was pretty 'hi-tech' for back then! :)
Lovely photos Susan!
Beauty in simplicity...thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
Jay
A story is being written for sure!!
And what a glorious ending the story has!! Amen!!
What a treasure you own.
My old typewriter was certainly a BFF.
I love this, Susan. Your grandfather sounds like an interesting man.
I love photos like this. Interesting view of a treasured object!
What a stunningly beautiful phoartpo -- ok -- so I made that word up to describe the beauty of your photos and art and poetry because you leave me speechless.
Stunningly beautiful.
And what a lovely tribute to the roots of your words today.
A few more years and teens won't have a clue as to what that machine is nor what it does.
What a treasure to have in your possession. The history that has been documented by those very keys... its fun to sit and think about the stories it could tell.
Awesome photography!!!
Cool photos, simply beautiful :)
How neat! Love old typewriters. I still use the one in my dad's office, just for a little fun.
a wonder to behold . a work of art in its own right
WOW- this is wonderful! How neat to have something your grandfather used and to be in such great condition. Do you have it out on display? xo
I don't, Joyce, but I have been thinking it would be fun to display it. It is very heavy.
I love old typewriters. I have one displayed in my office at work that I bought at a yard sale. You are so very lucky to have one actually used by your very own grandfather -- I love that story.
Awesome story and photos. It's wonderful to have something so special from your family's past.
You have such a way with words and images. You give me reasons to covet.
I'm working in it. Thanks and hugs.
I always enjoy seeing your beautiful creativity play out in your deeply written posts :)! I especially love your background for your blog. Keep sharing from your heart!
Great pictures...great thoughts...as usual!
Now this is priceless!
beautiful photographs!
I love this...it makes me remember how I would unfold my mom's typewriter out of it's case and pound away. She was fast and I loved listening to her pound at the keys. I used to pretend I was fast like her...mostly the keys would all get jammed up and I was left with all of the ink on my fingers.
Beautiful post, and thanks for your words on my posts. I can feel your strentgh for me and it is encouraging.
Lucky you to have this typewriter! I love the perspectives here.
oooooooh. i love this... the photos are amazing and the words glorious!
