I was concerned this would be a lean year for the toy drive, but my generous gentlemen are coming through as usual! Yesterday I spent all I’ve received so far, and this is what it looked like after I got most of it into my trunk. If you’re wondering why some of them look wet, it’s because it was raining cats and dogs all day yesterday; I would’ve waited for a clear day, but the next one predicted is the 21st, which is obviously too late. Luckily, there’s now a Toys for Tots donation box at Tractor Supply, so I needn’t drive all the way to Olympia; this load was only in my trunk for long enough to drive to the other side of the strip mall to drop them off. It’s not as much as in previous years; I’ve used a $20 per toy limit for ten years now, but I had to raise it to $30 this year, and I was shocked to see how much some things have gone up. But y’all still have another week, so if you’d like to see the toys bought with your contributions next week, you know what to do!
