Operation Toy Rescue

Felix dropped his hand and cleared his throat, stepping back. “Hi, Charlie. I’m sorry. I should have let you know we were coming.” They walked inside where it was warm. “This is Jules Evergreen.”


“Oh, the young man visiting from the North Pole that found our puppy! It’s nice to meet you,” Charlie said, winking and offering his hand.


Jules shook it and smiled. He liked the guy immediately.


“I wanted to show Jules the toys we have stored here. We’re working on some ideas to find them homes.”


A grin spread across Charlie’s face. “That’s wonderful. They need a home of their own. Always feel guilty for keeping them locked up here.”


“Do you want to take the golf cart? Or just walk?” Felix asked Jules.


“I’d rather just walk, if that’s okay. Better chance to really look things over.”


Felix smiled, obviously pleased with that answer. “I agree.”
