Ah, the humanity

This falls into that category of "there are still good people in the world."

On a recent walk around my adopted neighborhood of Mt. Baker (currently house sitting) we stumbled upon a great tiny little bakery called Repast. Every time I go for a walk I always know there is a chance I will end up at a bakery, so I always carry a credit card, just in case of an emergency pastry situation. We ordered our gorgeous looking pastries and then found out that they do not take cards. I had no cash, no checks.

The woman behind the counter asked if we lived in the neighborhood, I told her sort of. She told us to eat, enjoy and come back and pay later. Really!? Does this really happen these days?

Well, yes, it does. She told us she does this all the time and has never had anyone not come back and pay.

I left with a belly full of flaky almond pastry and my heart full of love for humanity.
