Adventures in Odyssey...

as a child, my parents introduced me to "Adventures in Odyssey" - it started out as a radio broadcast (which still airs TO THIS DAY) and grew into a world of "excitement, imagination, and discovery" {odyssey lovers, can you hear the theme song playing in your head right now?? be STILL my beating heart!}. my brother, sister, and i listed to Odyssey like it was about to be eliminated from the universe and we would no longer be able to get our grubby little fingers on our already purchased episodes. we would tune the "dog ear" antennas on our radios to catch the NEW episodes at night and then beg mom to buy us box sets for Christmases and birthdays alike. we got to the point where would could feel the package and KNOW it was Odyssey and the excitement COULD NOT BE CONTAINED! {i tell you the truth, mom could STILL get me Adventures in Odyssey sets for my birthday and/or Christmas and i would STILL be thrilled! it is TRUE love!}. WELL, one of my besties GAN is AT WHIT'S END TODAY and has been taunting me with amazing pictures...i am SO jealous that she is drinking a world famous chocolate soda and playing in the imagination station. it just isn't fair! hope you bring me back something FABULOUS gan...SO GLAD we share the unadulterated love! :)
