Growing up, my grandmother always had a neat desk with lots of very sharpened pencils in a holder in the corner. How they were always sharpened and so long with such great new erasers...I'll never know. B/c pencils here are usually one of the following:
New and not yet sharpened
Broken tipped
No eraser
Bad eraser
Or...NO PENCILS at all!!
Years ago, my grandmother gave me an eletric pencils sharpener...which I still use today.
Well, maybe we don't use it as often as we need.
I sure love a fresh new pencil!

I discovered those erasers you can put on the end of any length pencil and it makes them like new.
The only time I use pencils is when I am marking sheet music. I hate pencils! LOL!! I don't put enough pressure on them, so my writing is very faint and hard to read. Oh well ;)
I can't even find a pencil on my desk let alone having a sharp one. Speaking of a clean desk, maybe it's time to clean mine up
Me too, especially if it is sitting beside a blank piece of paper.
Long, sharpened pencils, complete with erasers are rare in my 3rd grade classroom!
I have pencil thing too Dawn - probably from my past life.
One of the nicest gifts I was given by a student was a wooden box he had made and decorated which he totally filled with sharpened new pencils, each with my name written on them.
I still use the box and still have some of the pencils about!
thanks for sharing such a good memory of your grandmother...and i too know your frustration...and the tip erasers are a godsend
