Notes from the typewriter:
- As a child I would sit and watch my mother type on a Remington like this one, at 125 words per minute. The words would just appear on the page so fast, and she could watch her other 5 kids at the same time. Good memories. – Don Flanner
- Spring Time – The wind is blowing & the suns showing, time for shorts & sunglasses ice tea in my hand, the flowers grow away baseball games only
begun life is good…
- I love reading so much
I love hedgehog ink
it is very cool abby
- i am the hedgehog queen. i love hedgehogs more than anything they are awesome. emma
- The three best things are …Dogs, books, and coffee – Wendy
- this moment is all that is. make it yours.
- books can take you to a whole new world
- I have always LOVED to hear the clack of the keys striking the paper. My high school typig teacher covered keys with blank caps an from that time on my timed typings were in the RED. This is a lost art…..

Donation Cart:
A cart of sale books is placed in front of the store each day we are open. During the month of April, donations for garden books on the rack were made to the Tri-Valley Horticulture program.
During May, the donations will go to FSHS Thespians to help raise funds for their summer state and international competitions. Congratulations Thespians!
