[letter to Beth & Rob]
Thanks so much for the faxes showing the catalog pages with items the boys would like. I have ordered the Backyard Football computer game for Dan and the Pokemon books for Jon. … Having them select items from a catalog certainly makes this grandma’s life a lot easier.
I went to Toys R Us one day last week to get 2-3 things for them that I could send in time for Hanukkah. (They are en route.) I came out of the store amazed that I hadn’t had a nervous breakdown inside. Later that day
a friend at the minyan told me that you can shop T-R-U on line. You type in the age of the child, his/her interests and how much you want to spend, and then get a short catalog of possibilities. That is definitely a thought to tuck away for future reference.
