"A Lady asked an old street vendor: "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The old man replied "0.50¢ an egg, madam.” The Lady responde, “I'll take 6 eggs for $2.00 or I'm leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live.”

She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.

This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is; 

Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy? 

And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?

We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him "why are you doing this dad?" The father replied: "It's charity wrapped in dignity.”

It was an interesting trip into The Bay this morning with Harley in the back seat trying to chase all the cars driving in the opposite direction!

Crazy dog.

He kept stepping on the seat belt connector and accidentally undoing his strap so we had to stop and reconnect it.

He snorted all over the back window so you can barely see out of it now.

He was well behaved for Dr Amanda but she couldn’t find his microchip with the scanner and we have booked him in to be desexed next Monday.

That means no swimming in the pool for a week and it means wearing a cone on his neck for a week. This should be interesting.

We were home by 11am and a swim in the pool for Harley was a reward for doing so well.

Nothing else got done for the rest of the day.

BGWLBH arrived home at lunch time and brought in two giant sweet potatoes from the garden. They will be on the menu tomorrow night!

We had easy tacos for dinner.

Tomorrow morning, I’m going to duck down to the Lions Park to see my art girls. Harley will enjoy the walk.

For now, it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.
