The Modern Little Red Hen
This is a little treatise on basic economics called "The Modern little Red Hen." Once upon a time there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said 'If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?' "Not I, " said the cow. "Not I," said the duck. "Not I," said the pig. "Not I," said the goose. "Then I will," said the little red hen. And she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain. "Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen. "Not I," said the duck. "Out of my classification," said the pig. "I'd lose my seniority," said the cow. "I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose. "Then I will," said the little red hen, and she did. At last the time came to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake bread?" asked the little red hen. "That would be overtime for me," said the cow. "I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. "I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. "If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose. "Then I will," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for the neighbors to see. They all wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I can eat the five loaves myself." "Excess profits," cried the cow. "Capitalist leech," screamed the duck. "I demand equal rights," yelled the goose. And the pig just grunted. And they painted "unfair" picket signs and marched round and around the little red hen shouting obscenities. When the government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not be greedy." "But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly," said the agent. "That's the wonderful free enterprise system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations productive workers must divide their products with the idle." And they lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, I am grateful." But her neighbors wondered why she never again baked any more bread.

UPDATE AND PICTURES
Ricks birthday, Fathers day and our anniversary present to each other. We got it yesterday and will be taking it out for a test drive today! Going to take it to the coast for a week too soon.
We added a storeroom to help put all the extra stuff while we are remodeling..later it will be for storage or....a music studio?
Shelby Lynn aka Daisey is doing great! Eric brought her for a visit this weekend. She has grown! Sadie and Shelby really have fun playing tug of war...finally someone for Sadie to play with that doesn't give in to do other things. We miss having Shelby around, but when she comes to visit it is a ball of fun!Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. This is my second Fathers Day without my Dad. I miss him, so if you have yours give him a big hug and spoil him rotten.
We are going to the lake today to celebrate with Rick. Should be fun. I am still kinda sick, but getting better. Man when I get sick it is a doozy! Been sick for over a week now...First day I woke up without a headache. Still coughing. So I will be taking it easy still.
Miss all you great people here! Will be back soon with more pictures.
Don't give up on me just yet. xoxBarb
