One of my Rules of Life

When Megs was seven years old, Gma taught her how to make paper hats. She was completely enthralled with making hats and thought that everyone would want one. So she set up shop on the street selling hats. Poor little thing sat out there a loooooong time, and then finally Nice Lady stopped. At first she was surprised at the hats; she was expecting kool-aid. But she bought, and totally made a little girl's day. That's when I came up with one of my Life Rules: Always stop at Lemonade stands. I love capitalism and free enterprise; God bless America. Kids with energy to set up a stand need customers, and I always stop. I usually don't drink the merchandise (you never know what state that kitchen is in) but I buy.
