Ha When I started school we had desks with holes on top for our ink well and we had those little metal pen tops (don't even know what they're called) and they fit into a wooden holder. So I guess it was one step up from a quill. <br /><br />Wish I could send you some snow or rain. It keeps doing both but it's always welcome here.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-1108411018822051472011-04-20T06:33:09.356-05:002011-04-20T06:33:09.356-05:00It could be fun to write with a quill - for a few ...It could be fun to write with a quill - for a few minutes.
