Take Me Back Tuesday: The Catalog Game

One of my favorite games as a young lass,  was a game I like to call "The Catalog Game."  Every time a new JCPenny or Sears catalog was delivered to my house, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it to play my special game.   I would sit patiently, quietly, and imaginatively going through every single page of the catalog.  On each page I could pick just one thing that in my mind would appear in a poof of magic and be mine forever.  I would raise my pointer finger ever so gently, and carefully touch the picture of that page's picked item.  If I accidentally touched more than one item, then nothing would appear in a magic poof in my imagination... could not be greedy. Sometimes, I would pick things for me, and sometimes I would pick things to give to others.  It's still one of my favorite things to do.  My kids have learned to share my love for the game too!
