Fountain Pens, Nerds & Reading Glasses

fountain pen, crazy reader glasses

I bought this kid a fountain pen.  He promised me that if he had  a

super cool fountain pen.. he would write better. (ask me if I believe

that!)

After purchasing this nice pen on eBay.. we could not figure out

how to operate it.  #2 had a hard time reading the tiny print,

and he has better than 20/20 vision!  He put on these reading

glasses and still couldn’t read what it said.

fountain pen

To which is father said.. “Give me the pen.”   He looked it over and

did this move (below)..

He lifts UP his glasses to read the tiny print.  How weird is this?

It’s very strange to me.  We have never figured out what the tiny words say.

We bought ink cartridges, but it didn’t take those… which only

left one option.. REAL bottled ink.  So now if #2 wants to use his

new pen, he has to do it outside.

(PS.. I realize this child looks like a doofus in these photos.. but that’s just what he does to make me laugh)

A Little Trip To Nell Hill’s

While up in North Kansas City I took a trip to Nell Hill’s.  If you’ve never

been there.. you should go.  The place is fabulous!

The prices are pretty good too.  There is something for everyone.

While we were there we even saw Mary Carol Garrity.. (she’s the

owner and founder).  I wish I would have taken pictures… We were sitting

on a fabulous couch.. and she stopped to ask if we thought it was comfortable,

#1 and I said “yes”.. P*Tricky said; “It’s OK.”

I love this table and chairs.. except it’s not big enough to fit the

family… What I really need is 2 long benches for either side of my

table.  We have 3 chairs on each side and 2 chairs at the head of the

table.  With the 3 chairs next to each other the kids do not have

much room to move around.

I love how they use vines and leaves.. in the decorating.

I need this greenhouse.. Not to trap a ginger in.. but it would look nice

out back!

#3 wanted this quilt.  I wanted that plate rack!

The whole upstairs is full of stuff for the bedroom.. beautiful!

I love this iron canopy bed!

P*tricky likes the chair.. and so do I.

I love that wicker sphere thing…

Nell Hills has a couple of locations.  The one I visited was at Briarcliff Village.
