Capitalism at it's Finest

In this land of the free and home of the brave it's important that we exercise our rights to capitalism. So, Logan and I made the most of it today. I had a garage sale (which, while I did well, I still have so much stuff left that I may have another one in a couple of weeks) and Logan had a lemonade stand. Now, being the sentimental fool that he is, when he saw that I was selling his old bike he was rather upset. Keep in mind, he got a brand new one for his birthday in April. Well, he said it would make him feel better if he could have the money from the sale. Sucker that I am, agreed to his demands. His bike sold before too long and even the profits of the sale didn't make him feel too much better. He told me that he was upset about selling the bike because he was planning on saving it for his children. Aah! Now I understand!



Bye, bye 16 years worth of teacher stuff! Well, not all of it.

We closed up shop around 1:00 because typical Louisiana weather rolled the clouds, thunder, and lightning in. Of course, once again, it skirted us completely. Our profits for the day were fairly good and his freshly squeezed lemonade was a hit! He even had some people come back and buy more! Next time his lemonade stand is open, I'll make sure I announce it here.

What a little entrepreneur!
