I have no idea where to start on telling the stories from this weekend so let’s just start with something fun.
Dani and I had headed out to shop while Heather napped Saturday evening. We stopped by one of many street vendors who were selling a multitude of things. This one table had a bunch of pictures from the city and these two pictures caught my eye. I started staring intently at the guy’s stuff and of course he started making deals for me.
His sign said a 5×7 was $10 and the larger size (pictured above) was $20. I was flipping through the smaller size and he says “Right now, $7!” I continued to look, not sure which print I was interested in and he throws out, “For you right now, $6”. Hmm, you guys know I love a deal! “What about the larger print?” I ask. He says $15. I start looking at the two prints above trying to decide which to take. The fall one would be nice. I have a lot of red in my house and I LOVE trees. But the other shows more of the city and I also have those blue and brown tones in my living room.
He gets them off the board and says “Both of them $20!” Oh, half price! I can’t make a decision on one and it sounds like a deal! I’m in! I hand him a $20 bill and I was off. Dani and I continue across Broadway down 46th and head towards Park Ave to shop and wouldn’t you know the next block we pass has the same dern pictures and a sign for $1.99?
Aww!
Bargaining can be so fun and so frustrating, all at the same time!!

Oh, and great images, anyway. The extra money you paid just makes for a fun story

Isn’t that what PT Barnum meant when he said that there’s a sucker born every minute?
