All the Fountain Pens!

So my husband was watching me clean out 4 fountain pens earlier and asked if I had to do that each time I wanted to swap colors.

I told him yes and he then said, “Well why don’t you just have a pen for each ink?”

I think my husband just told me I need to buy more fountain pens. Or at least that is what I heard!

I pointed out that I have a TON of inks, and the even if I was buying the cheap fountain pens, they are still at least $25 a pop. And the ones I really like? Around $120 and above. ::chuckles::

And then he said, “Well, when I die promise me you wont sell more than one of my guitars to buy pens.”

I told him that depended on how many guitars he had at the time and price I got on said guitar. ::laughs::

Heartbroken

I just found out that my adopted grandma passed away on Tuesday this week.

It’s weird to mourn a person that I never met in person. I have no idea what she looked like.

I only ever talked to her over the phone, when she would call in to tell me what books she liked that I had picked for her, which ones she didn’t, and to tell me when her aid would be coming in to pick up her next round of books.

But man, she was so chipper....such a pleasure to really talk to. And I honestly loved chatting with her, which is highly unusually, as I HATE talking on the phone.
