I wish I could hug her.
Anna and some friends did lemonade with similar results this summer until one came up with the idea to put up a sign reading “FREE LEMONADE (Donations Accepted)” and seed a cup with a few dollar bills. The three of them cleared $16.37 each after supplies on a not-very-busy-street.
Tell Georgia guilt sells.
Then again, don’t.

Brandy,
A deal, transportation not included. But then, a wet cat provides his own transportation.

My own son said, “Mommy, people don’t like kid art.” Sigh.

These are moments I’m not ready for, the ones that will most definitely rattle me. I’m not good with disappointment anyway … Great job, Georgia — just in the trying.

hey i would totally go to that thing and because i want to.
when i lived in nyc, some liliputians opened a lemonade stand on the side walk in soho. i bought a glass, then went home and called on my friends to go make a fuss. i also rode my bike back for a second glass because what i was really buying was a smile, and that was worth more than all the change i had in my pocket.
love to gg

Bless her little heart. Not only would I have brought our German Shepherd as a customer, I would have stayed to help out. For free.

oh this brought back wonderful memories of my two little boys 6 and 4 with their kool aid stand, drinking up all the profits on a hot summer day!

Awww! I wish that I could have brought my dog. $5 for my little guy sounds like a bargain!

oh, i have an EM as well. She is 11 and her trusty side-kick is 5. There have been signs posted on weekend front doors from ‘spa’ to ‘lemonade’ to ‘cirque du soleil with the clark girls’ to no avail. except on occassion a thirsty postman.

That’s what makes this country great: thirsty postal carriers.

It is amazing how big and indifferent the world is. I look forward to reading of Georgia’s way of acting in the face of that knowledge.
