Our Little Entrepreneur

Today Meg opened a lemonade stand. She did such a good job. Last night she lay awake in bed for an hour because she was so excited about her idea. This morning before church she set up her table and cloths and made a sign. She hung a temporary sign on the bottom that said "closed just right now." After lunch she replaced that with a "25 ¢" sign. She mixed the lemonade and got cups and a basket for money. She picked a vase full of little yellow daisies so she could give one to each customer.

Erik and I each bought some. Our friends next door bought a few cups. Another neighbor came by walking his dog and bought two cups. A family from church who arrived early for prayer meeting bought some. Her total profit (thankfully all supplies were donated) was $2. Not bad considering we live at the end of a cul de sac, she got rejected by a neighbor doing yard work and another out for a jog, and that the high today was 60! (She might have had a little more business if I had cooperated with her request that I make flyers and hand them out door to door.)

What a memory this will be....I think we all have lemonade stand memories from childhood. (But I don't remember the wearing winter jackets with hoods at my stand :-)
