Thanks for the advice. That is an excellent idea, and while I am not tech, I
am going to give it a try. Some of the albums I have, many of them great
children's stories and music that accompanied and entertained me, are
definitely out of circuit and my own children never even heard them.
The weather here has shifted also. We had an unusually nice October. Months
of dreariness is approaching. The forecast for the next 10 days is cold and
rain.

I pulled a box of old records out of my garage this week, including a few of

have to buy a record player :) My sis and I used to dress up and dance to
this one.

I don't know how tech you are but you can get LP to MP3 turntables at
Fry's or Best Buy that are reasonably priced (under $100). I've been
thinking about getting one for years to convert what few LPs (some rare)
around here. All you do is plug the USB plug from the turntable into
the computer and install the software and you're ready to go. Of course
don't forget to plug the turntable AC or adapter into the wall if it
needs it (there may be some that can run of the 5V on the USB).
My neighbor is having another one of their garage sales today. I asked
her where do you get this stuff? Do you grow it? They have them
twice a year. They've invited me to bring some of my stuff over but they
never give me enough advance warning. And I don't want to sit around
all day to run a sale myself.
My neighbors also have a condo share in Florida and are missing that
weather since California is unusually cold these days. My phone weather
widget shows snowflakes some mornings.
