Upgrade

I love to read. Love it. Like most people, I don't get all the time I would like to just lounge and quietly enjoy a great book. So, as often as I can, I get a good book on CD and listen to it in the van. I don't necessarily trust much fiction to be appropriate for little ears so I usually stick with church books for that. The bonus is that it helps me teach relief society and it is spiritually uplifting to me.

Three months ago we sold our Honda Van and got the Dodge. I love this newer van but the one drawback has been that the CD player in it didn't work. I was kinda bummed. So for my birthday Brian got me a new one! It has an Ipod connector so that I can now listed to books on CD, without worrying about getting them back to the library on time. It is awesome!



I felt kinda guilty because it is really nice, but he told me that it was a black Friday special and he really did get a great deal on it. Then, as he pulled the dashboard apart to install it, he found $6! Then he pulled out the old factory CD player and he heard a metal rumbling sound in it. So he shook it, and coins started falling out. He shook it some more and about $1.50 in change came out of it. I guess the kids of the family who owned this before us do what kids do, which is put coins in the CD player. After Brian got all the change out, the old CD player started working! And I guess the factory one is worth more that what we paid for the new one. Even in used condition. So, I got a great upgrade! And now I can listed to my Ipod in the van. Bring on the Sheri Dew and John Bytheway!
