We're Reading and Writing but no 'Rithmetic

Over the weekend we breezed through another CD Collection. I've always heard of the name Jack Benny but I am so glad that I got the chance to listen to his work. I've really enjoyed it. I don't know how much more I'll be able to find via the libraries but I definitely plan to find out.

Last night we started listening to OUR MISS BROOKS COLLECTION. We are still listening to the Left Behind series too (finished 5th CD yesterday) but our CD player decided that it was ready to stop working so now we are listening to this cassette collection

I've never heard an Our Miss Brooks broadcast but I'm really enjoying it. It is nice hearing old radio shows because they also include the old commercials. I am not sure what search we did at the library to get this series but I am glad we did.

So far we've listened to 2 episodes - 1 last night and 1 this morning:

The Surprise Party 30:00
The Football Game 29:50
