Thursday Before The Toy Drive

It's really coming together...kind of. I had a bunch of people over for a "coffee" type thing that they do every other Thursday. Instead of the typical coffee, I put the people to work helping with seperating and packing toys! I think they enjoyed it, I hope it. It was a little different from the typical frou frou Coffees and it was actually very helpful to me. I don't drink coffee so I didn't actually have any coffee. I did have tea, however. It was so refreshing to see these people coming to the Coffee with my bags of toys in their hands. A Coffee with a purpose! But without coffee.

I haven't counted all the toys yet, but it looks like we're going to be pretty short. That's going to suck big if I ran out. Each year, I always think I will run out of toys, but it always works out. This year I think it will work out as well.

I'm still working out the transportation issue. Right now we have three vehicles and I'm not sure that everyone and every box will fit. Once we get to Ojojona, we will need to pick up 4 more people. I may need to rent a pick up truck for Lps. 600 in Ojojona, just in case. That may be the way to go. Last year, we definitely had a lot more people coming with me. This year, a lot of those people either left Honduras or don't want to do it again. That's fine. That's really their choice.

I had to do my Girl Scout demonstation in about 2 hours. That should be pretty interesting.
