If Life Gives You Lemons. . .

. . . make lemnaid:-) We were visiting with friends this week and they served fresh-squeezed lemonade. We couldn't believe we were letting our lemons rot on the tree so we began an extensive lemon squeezing operation, the result of which was today's lemonade stand. Anika & Andrew were troopers. Anika had the idea and then they made the lemonade themselves, created a poster, set up the table & chairs, and they were in business!!! I can't believe what a successful adventure it was. They served at least ten people. (Of course, Dad was in charge of marketing (posting it on Facebook) and he put up an awning which helped the cause!) They stayed out there for about 2 1/2 hours and people generously ignored the 5 cent sign;-) We even had takers come after the stand was retired. I think Anika has been bitten by the entrepreneur bug.

Our first customer was our next-door neighbor:

Waiting (sometimes patiently):
The sign read "Fresh-squeezed lemnaid - 5c"
