   Ticonderoga pencils are the bomb! I have vintage ones left from when I went to college! My dad worked for a school supply warehouse and much like going through the Sears’ Wishbook for Christmas, each fall we would go through the Hammett’s catalog for new school supplies.

   Now I BUY them for my kids.

   We have several distant cousins, they tend to live in my washer. Grade school children are to blame. The boy in particular. WHY?

   And still with the eraser! I guess that’s what makes it “living” but either way, impressive.

    Oh Debby! I wash my boy’s pencils as well! Now that school is out for the summer I suppose my pencil washing will wane. Lots of his looked like yours Bossy.

    Awww. I just want to cuddle it and scratch it behind the eraser. But I guess you should give it back to Bossy’s Daughter.

    Should this not be in the Poverty Party section? Seriously. I can never find the sharpener regularly enough to create one of these!!

    Can you continue to care for it at your house or will it have to go to a pencil nursing home?
