almost forgot

to show you pictures of the apple peeler that my mother sent me. I have been looking at the Lhemann's (not sure I spelled that correctly) catalogue which has a mess of non-electric household thingys (for lack of a better word at the moment....) in it. I saw an apple peeler that was exactly like the one I remember using as a kid, so I asked my mom about it and, sure enough, she still had it. It is now mine! I have it out because I think it is so beautiful. I'll have to see if I can get it to work again!
