Randy has been collecting pop cans for almost two years. All the guys at work put their cans in a box by Randy's desk and some of them have brought him bags from home. I don't think any of the cans were ours. One corner of our garage was covered with bags of cans. We missed the last time they were giving $.90 a pound. Randy was ready to get rid of them even if the price was low. He called this morning and the guy said today was the last day for $.90 a pound...if you have over 100 pounds (which we knew we did) and if they were crushed. Well almost half were crushed. It was already 9:30 and the place was closing at 12:00 so we had to get busy. We started dumping bags of cans out in the driveway and crushing them. Pretty soon our neighbor Terri came over and started to help and a little later her daughter Brittany came to help also. We got them all crushed and bagged and loaded to go by 11:00. We never would have been able to do it without Terri and Brittany's help. We ended up having 270 pounds! Randy got $240! Randy is going to Alaska in a few days on a missions trip so this money is a huge blessing to help pay for that.

Thats totally awesome that he got in on the good price!! Praise God for some money for his trip! I bet it was amusing watching you guys crush them.

How happy were you to have all that out of your garage!? Any plans while he is gone? Duluth is a short trip away.....
I told Randy we should call you Sarah and tell you we were having a pop can crushing competition. I knew the word competition would send you right over!
I'm going to my brother's for a couple of days. I'm not sure I could handle two road trips by myself. I would really like to come see you. I'm thinking a trip to Duluth in October to see the fall colors would be fun.
Man--I'm ready to start collecting cans now!
