We TALK about doing it, but the reality is that we never seem to get on a routine. We have kid-chauffering 4 nights a week, so it's a bit tricky. But my youngest has gymnastics until 8 pm on Fridays, and DH usually tries to leave work early on Fridays (gets home around 5:30 usually), so we decided we'd try for an early dinner on Fridays. We have two other kids but they're older teenagers and they can muddle through without us. However, we did this maybe two weeks and then forgot about it. Every summer, we talk about a weekly dinner out at the different restaurants in our area that have outdoor seating. Never have quite gotten that program off the ground, either. Thanks for the reminder. We have 3 kids, including two who usually stay up later than we do, so sometimes the only time we get to really talk is when we're out of the house alone. Oh, another thing we have been trying to do is to go on a Sunday afternoon walk. We've done it a few times. Sometimes we bring a dog with us, but never a kid. We're really going to try to do this when the weather gets more springlike.

I bought a Royal portable standard (i.e. non-electric) typewriter about 1950 or slightly before that had moulded plastic keys, with the names of the letters imbedded. Had "Heavy to Light" pressure settings - and "High and Low" or similar - I think red and black colours to adjust the height that the ribbon carrier rose when the key was struck. Haven't been able to find ribbons for it for several years. ole joyful

You could go in a similar wood tone or get something in just about any contrasting style -- matchiness isn't considered desirable these days. Can you give us more to go on than color, like the syle of the bed or your general decorating style?

If you go to Google page and drag the image you can get good suggestions.
