I have the best neighbors. My next door neighbor decided to clean her basement. She had an old school desk. She saw me the other day and asked if I would like it for my granddaughter. She also has grandchildren but they live in Ohio and North Carolina. They don’t visit here often so she decided it was time to find someone who would like it. My granddaughter loves to draw and color but doesn’t have her own special area at my house.

I did take the desk and it reminded me of some of the desks when I was in school. Mine had a lid with deeper desk storage. It certainly brought back some memories

My granddaughter and son came to visit last night. I wish I had my camera ready to capture that initial expression when she saw the desk. She sat at the desk and did some artwork but then also used to iPad to read and play some of her games.  She said she liked her desk . It fit her perfectly and she put some papers in the storage area.

Snacks on one side and activities on the other. This was the best.

We fixed her dinner and she had a special request. She wanted to eat at her desk. All the activities were cleared and dinner was served. She finished her dinner and even finished the grapes for dessert.

Who knew one old desk could provide so much fun.
