sharp as a tack...

Since Fleet has had the little ones finding sharpened pencils is always a search...Then when you find a pencil it is not sharp...so we hunt for an electric sharpener or the 5 cent one ...neither does an efficient job...

so I decided weeks ago I was on the look out for the old time all metal pencil sharpeners that mounts on a wall or solid desk....and it must be all metal....Today I found one..Ahhhh...memories and sharpen pencil's sharp enough to do bodily damage....Amanda and I had to try it out because they also have a very expensive professional one that is electric...POS..''

Amanda and I sharpened over 100 pencils. I held and cranked and she held the pencils. On the colored pencils we sharpened both ends...I would say it took maybe 15 minutes and we had to empty it 5 times,,, Amanda loves it and I told her I will get her one this weekend...They are great..I will send it this weekend...

So Fleta for your belated b-day you have an all metal crank pencil sharpener..you will use it lots!.oh yes and glow in the dark stars for Roberts ceiling and to share with Hannah if she wants them,,,This is the wave of your future...As Rhea King says, :once you have kids, that is all you have," But we would not trade them for the world..Loving, grateful, and feeling secure...just like we all did. How rare that is these days...You are doing good sis....and George...and Greg.. Can't wait to get home..
Love you, Sister...I really love all of my sisters...and Winnie Jo seems like one of them...only nicer...

I think this is appreciate your brothers week...I do appreciate my brothers,,Love you both, and miss Charley...

Darrel wants the yard cleaned up tomorrow...I may have to show them how it is done...Sounds like a great day to me...But I will be FAR away from any yelling...It's a big yard...LOL

In all fairness Darrel has not been feeling well..The union mess has him upset and then I think he has a touch of what Kenzie has,,He better be careful with his health problems one fit may be his last...and I hope not because even with all of the yelling ALL of his kids love him dearly.. Oh yes and he is the best son in law I have right now...No really he tries to be very good to me and I do try to help hol a lot.

I will attach the sharpener to the top of the computer cabinet in the living room. You know, the think full of junk and a printer and no computer.
'Thanks

I have one in this old house. It is in a walkin closet. When I moved back here and saw it I wanted to cry. Larry put it there in 1982 for our girls to use. Still there and still working fine. I had one of those electric jobbers and still do and it works too. My friend at school got one and in about 3 months she said it did not work and give it to me. I emptied the scrapes and it worked fine. She was a youngster and I guess she did not know had to empty the mess.
