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.

(Secret) Toy Society Drop: Summer 2014


Once upon a time, Auntie Nettie made a bunch of toys to give away to those who needed a special treat. I stashed a few at Grandmary's UT house so she could teach the grandkids about the fun of leaving surprises for other people. This summer, when the family came down from Idaho, there was a perfect opportunity for Christina and the kids to their first drops for The (Secret Toy Society).

Unfortunately, it appears The (Secret) Toy Society blog seems to be inactive again. But I'm still going to do this.



Dropped: Summer 2014 by Christina and the kiddos near the St. George, Utah (USA) library
Number of Toys: 3
Made by: Auntie Nettie
When: Sometime in Summer 2014
Comments: Got a message from Christina at the end of August. She and the kids dropped these three little presents around the area by the St. George, UT library when they were down from Idaho visiting Grandmary and GrumpaMax. She said that when they left, two had already been claimed.
