I can't remember the last time I ran across a kid's lemonade stand. But, on our way back from exploring the railroad tracks last Sunday, we came across this group of kids in their front yard selling lemonade and ice tea. Although they were all helping, it was clearly Destiny's lemonade stand. The stand was colorful and well stocked. I was even offered a fresh lemon slice for my tea. Destiny (on the right) was excited about the money she had made. Already a budding sales girl, she went out of her way to invite us back. Evidently, this is a semi-regular business...every Sunday afternoon. It may be my destiny to return for another great glass of ice tea next weekend...
