CARS!!!!!

This could have been  your last view of Middi and me!

Last Saturday I got hit by a car, 

Middi and I are very lucky to be still complaining about Melbourne's rotten weather [35deg. today]

We walked down to the farmers market,

bought a few things, and started to amble home.

I am always very careful in the weekends,

drivers seem to leave their brains in bed.

We were walking slowly past a group of fancy town houses,

when suddenly, a large black car reverses very quickly out of the drive, bang, into me!

The worst part was, the driver did not stop when she hit me

my 250kg. chair was pushed sideways.

When she eventually heard me yelling and thumping her car

she stopped, looked at me, and said "I didn't see you" 

wound up her window and disapeared back into the units somewhere.

I was very shaken up, all I could think of was  --

It could have been a  child!

If you drive so badly that you cant see a 

great big power chair with flowers,

what chance of seeing a child.

As we shakily walked home I realised how lucky it was that Middi walks on my right,

if he had been on my left he would have been crushed!

Please remember when driving,

  watch where you are going!

An incredible response!!

Well Saturday was the big day of --

"The Great  Wheel Chair BBQ"

and what a day it was, Luke and Nicole from

Savemore in Bentleigh, had gone to so much trouble.

I believe Luke was seen cutting onion rings with goggles on!!

Only a man would do that.

As you can see by the picture above, we also had beautiful gingerbread men ,

made by Gabe and packed by Indie,Jess and myself.

They looked beautiful and tasted even better.

 Here is the sausage sizzle area,

and

 the gingerbread area, with my great salesman and friends.

Midnight stayed by my side for 4/5 hours,without complaining.

People came to pat him and then bought gingerbread.

Our biggest customer was Kate,

she took the last NINE packs!!

Here we are waiting patiently for our first customer.

 Poor Edd, none gave him any gingerbread!

its a tough life being a poodle.

Here is my beautiful boy selling sausages,

look at those eyes,

how could anyone resist.

It was a wonderful day,

I met some very generous people,

who happily gave money to help someone, 

who most of them didn't even know.

There was the old lady who was diabetic, she wanted to buy a sausage for Midnight and when I said he was not allowed to eat them said she would put the money in anyway.

The person who put money in my tin so I would not end up in a nursing home like her husband.

The family who donated because they like seeing me and Middi running along the bike path together.

So many beautiful messages of support,

too many to mention, but all precious to me.

How much did we raise??

$927.10

Thank you, everyone.

 

Thank you to you also Big Boy!!
