There is a fabulous Elks Club thrift store in Florence, Oregon. We stopped on our way home from our trip to the beach. My gem: this 1966 game featuring the ten commandments. Cost: 75 cents!!
I remember when I first learned about Moses and the commandments. I thought they were something that had been created recently and when I read "thou shalt not kill" my 6 or 7 year old self breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "good, people won't do that anymore".
My family was not they type to sit around playing bible games. Maybe an occasional game of double solitaire with my mother, or a game of Risk with my sister... I can just imagine asking all kinds of questions while playing this game and I still want to know the answers.
The staff at the Elks club were somewhat entertained by my enthusiasm for my find. The woman stated: "Yep, that's why there are thrift stores, for people like you".
