March 8

I just bought some lemonade from some kids on the corner near my apartment. It brought back so many memories! When I was a kid, I used to make lemonade with my brother . We’d set up  a stand in front of our house and sell the lemonade to people walking down the street. In those days, we didnt worry about money, and me drank more lemonade than we sold. Nowadays , Istill remember the lesson that experience taught me-don’t  drink your  profits! I dont think we ever made any money, but it sure was a lot of fun. Today we have air conditioning, but I still like a cold cup lemonade on a hot day.
