Post Script

There was something I forgot to mention in my last post. I realized something unexpected once we started the bartering process - both parties involved seem to think they have the better end of the bargain. How fun is that? I'm elated to have the fresh eggs and she and her family are thrilled with the bread. I don't know why but for some reason I had the word "barter" synonymous with "compromise," thinking that both parties would be giving up something. But that's not how it is at all. Quite the opposite, it's great for everyone, no sacrificing involved. She had extra eggs, I can make bread, we both get exactly what we want. It's simple and wonderful.
