Kaedo has an obsession with VHS movies and currently owns 80+ movies, two VCRS
("mom, one for playing, one for rewinding....duh"), and a TV/VCR combo.
I have no idea what prompted this obsession but we sure have fun with it. Saturday afternoons we head to the flea market and search through 10,000+ tapes for whatever is on his list. He is currently searching for Star Trek (William Shatner era) movies number 1 and 2. We have 3-6. He is also looking for Back to the Future 2 and 3.
I must admit that I have added a few to the collection - Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Mystic Pizza, Grease. lol
We have a blast searching through the stacks of them. As I am very much into retro, I can't fault him. Plus, it is an amazingly cheap hobby as he is sometimes able to get them 3 for $1.

Sterling is anti-VHS, yet he laid on the floor and watched a movie when Kaedo bought his little TV. Hmmm
If you're ever looking for a gift for him, a roll of Loonies would he perfect!

Retro it's called at your house. Ok! Good luck in finding the other movies you want Kaedo. I can't believe they are in good enough shape to watch after all this time. Good on ya! We used to have a TV/VCR combo just like that in an old RV. It worked great.
Wonderful talking with you this morning, Shannon. Good luck with your weekend.
Love to all
Kaeden ! We still have VHS movies around our place as well as the t.v./VHS machine to play them on!!! Sorry we can't help with the movies you are looking for which I'm sure you figured out already:) Will keep the loonie idea in mind for him. Sounds like you have fun at the flea markets and find all kinds of goodies.
Hope things are going well for all and hugs across the miles.
