Those were the days my friend. . .

This was my school supply list for a lot of years
when I was a kid.
I loved buying school supplies.
I loved the smell, the touch,
the labeling.  I loved the entire process.

2 Laddie pencils

4 Big Chief tablets

1 pink eraser

(to only be used with permission)

The School Supply list stated a 24 count pk of Crayons,
but if Mom could find them on sale I got
the 64 pack WITH SHARPENER.

1 standard Brown Folder with ties
(no substitutions allowed)

Then I grew up
and had children of my own
and I had to pay for the
School Supplies.
I still loved it.

My baby will be a sophomore when
school begins.
I can't wait to buy school supplies
next week.
I still get the "School Supply Rush"!!

Yes, I am a bit of a Geek, "cerebral".
 I can't help myself.

Are there others among us
who enjoy this yearly ritual?
