Lemonade anyone?

Two weeks ago we checked out a Max and Ruby book from the library about a lemonade stand.  Ever since Savannah has been begging to have a lemonade stand.  It was never about the money, but about the lemonade, the umbrella, the sign, and the customers. 
 So, I did my best to fulfill the high expectations.  I just hoped that a few people would stop by.


Lucy was our first, and best customer.
 We didn't have to wait long at all for the customers to come.


"It's okay Mom, I'll give one to Birginia for free because she doesn't have any money."


 Our neighbors were so sweet.  Ironically, it was mostly men who stopped to buy, often the wife was in the front seat pushing them out.  They loved her, and they tipped her, which was good because I wasn't sure how counting out change would go.  

 It was a success, and she hurried right in to put money in her "Go Utes" account. (aka. college fund)

Today was the last day that our favorite public pool was open for the year.  I know what you are thinking.  Hmm, Texas, record heat, record drought, WHY?  I can't figure out WHY they close the pools in September when summer lasts another month.  It didn't stop us from having fun with our best buddies, one last time.  


Until next summer...
