What is This?

One of the many wonderful reasons that we love spending time at Mama Lucy's house is all of the wonderful antique toys that she has from when Richard and Matthew were children. Believe it or not, she still has a lot of things from when Ruthie was little. Kamdyn loves to plunder and explore these old toys. Her new favorite is the record player that she can now operate by herself. Not that operating a record player is a complicated task compared to today's technology; however, we had to explain to her how to put the needle on the record at the beginning and to do so VERY carefully because finding a needle to go on a record player these days would be near impossible. She also knew how/when to change the record speed from 33/44. My how the times have changed!

She listened to records with music, but she especially loved listening to the Gremlins books on record. Those books sent me back in time. I sure did LOVE Gizmo when I was younger. Remember...."bright light!"

The record she is holing is paper thin. I didn't remember records like this.


One of the records was her Great Granddaddy's that he used to listen to. It was so sweet to see her listening to the song.


Here she is making sure that she has the right # on the record for the correct Gremlins book.


Put the needle on the record. (remember that song?)
