The girls were itching to have some kind of sale. First it was to be a craft sale. They were totally gung-ho to make signs, assemble the table, find the money box, etc., but the crafting wasn't happening. My lovely neighbor, who is a wonderful friend and the mother of my girls' BFF, suggested a lemonade stand, and it was great. She knew that the act of having a sale was much more important than the product being sold. Friends are the best! The girls had so much fun making signs outside. We had the lemonade stand later that day -- at rush hour -- perfect to serve all the commuters on foot. At 25 cents a cup, the girls earned $39 in the 1 1/2 hour sale -- they made a killing!
