About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

My husband loves all the old radio shows. In Germany everybody watches "Dinner for One" on New Year's Eve. You can find it on You-Tube. I think that European and American humor is very different, though -- my husband didn't think it was as funny as my father does.

I feel like a dolt but . . . how do you download them? I went to the site and everywhere I click I get to another page or get to listen to the wonderful shows --- but cannot figure out how to download. Right clicking did not help.
What am I doing wrong - have any idea?

Thanks!
