hi redwitch,
Even though I've been quiet for a while now, I just wanted to say that I always enjoy your slant on things. Glad to see you back and that you've completed your move.
I admire your undertaking of a 10 YO. As Oren suggested, you may want to try
Freecycle.org to check for groups in TV area,
as well as
The Villages FL ReUse It yahoo group.
Good luck with all of your endeavors!
