PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

N.C. Roadtrip 2010: Toy Society Drop #1225 & #1226

Made and Dropped by: Auntie Nettie
When: June 1, 2010, around 4:00 p.m. EDT
Where: Surf City Park, Surf City, Topsail Island, North Carolina, USA

As part of Auntie Nettie and Grandmary's Roadtrip through North Carolina, we visited a lovely beach community with lots of vacation homes and rentals. We drove past this little park and we decided to go back and make a drop. The park was near a pier and the lot was full of minivans with families with small children. I dropped this bear at the top of a slide, as a reward for an intrepid climber.

After I dropped the bear at the top of the slide, I figured I better leave another toy in the park -- since I had seen a family with two kids heading down the pier. I went back to the car and grabbed another toy to drop. This kitty cat was left on the swings for a younger sibling or friend to find and enjoy.

Stay tuned to The Toy Society to find out if anyone took home the weiner dog, the panda, or the kitty cat.

I can't wait to drop more toys on my MidWest Roadtrip 2010 and River Trip 2010 later this summer.
