Blast from the Past
23 JunToday in history, 1868, the Sholes and Glidden type-writer was patented. Patent number 79,265 sold for $12,000. Production began March 1, 1873 by Remington and Sons. According to Wikipedia there are over 50 iterations of design development spanning centuries. This is an outstanding example of continuous design improvement in action.

Imagine writing the great American novel on this black beauty!

Inspiration for this post came from the Bonza puzzle of the day, a new type of crossword puzzle via smart phone app.

Earth Angel 2
Planted in memory of “Shelby” Elfcroft’s Earth Angel.
The large dense leaves on hostas block sunlight, which discourages weeds in the plantings…that is a blessing!
Stitched Service
9 JunThe Elf in Elfcroft has the sewing machine humming making functional gift bags. These gift bags are also known as shower caddies to be given to the women residents of Wheeler Mission this Christmas (just over six months from now). I use outdoor fabric (water and mildew resistant) from www.fabricguru.com. Four outer pockets surround the center opening. Twenty seven are completed…Forty six more to go.
The last two years we filled back packs with socks, gloves, scarves, etc. Several years before that we filled tote bags. Our choice this year are these homemade bags. Bath products to fill the shower caddies will be provided by friends and coworkers.
