If you are looking for the old reliable ..

I am a big garage sale, estate sale and thrift store fan. I have seen them at thrift stores and that's where I usually get most of my records. Can't beat $ .50 for a record, can you? I haven't been able to bring myself to buy any of the 8 tracks.

Fell in love all over again.....

Recently I fell in love all over again with my record player. I had put it down in the basement after my husband tried selling it at a garage sale a few years ago because we had gotten a retro record player.

I have also been trying to explain to my 16 year old son about how a record player you can hear the layers in music and on an ipod it sounds crisp and one layer (I am not 28 that I have been telling everyone for the last several years, but I think you can guess).

A few weeks ago I bought the new Police album (yes I did and they were a limited edition) and it didn't sound right on that dinky little retro thing. Soooo, I brought up the old one and dinky got moved to the upstairs hallway.

I am having the wonderful time listening to the Police, Nat King Cole Christmas and whatever else I can find.

Did you also get a look at the 8 track player?

Today's Funny

I saw something in today's funnies (Family Circus) that I thought was excellent:

"Your day goes the way the corners of your mouth turn. So Smile."

Our First Real Snow.....

The first real snow and the girls had to go out in it and help daddy.

The snow didn't stick on the ground, even though it snowed most of the day.
Wonder how much we will get this winter?
It's time to hibernate!

Wizzie and the Limo.....

Wizzie was one of the children picked to ride in the limo to a restaurant on Friday.

Only 10 children went on the ride from the school.

I believe they had a great time!
