Well, the kids were over-the-moon when they got home from school and spied it on the table. Everyone wanted to give it a whirl and the keys were clicking, clacking and dinging. My house was filled with the music of letters, words and sentences. Nonstop. In an instant, they fell in love, just as I hoped they would.
Over and over, Grace exclaimed, "I'm obsessed!!" Henry, who adores being plugged in, came downstairs at 6:30 AM and inquired if he could start typing. Emma immediately typed and mailed a letter to her BFF. William simply wants to type his name.
The possibilities are endless. I imagine party invitations, gift tags, and anonymous 'poison pen letters' to enemies. For now, we are happy pecking away for sheer pleasure.

PS my purchase was validated when the CBS Sunday Morning Show had an entire segment on the resurgence of typewriters! Of course, the Brooklyn Flea Market has vintage typewriters for sale. I think one has your 'name on it' sister!
