Take a little bit of ingenuity, add a tightwad and a whole lot of perseverance and you have Sophie planning front yard stands all summer long. Way back in October she started with a seed of an idea to do a lemonade stand. Then she started saving up candy to add to it. Then she decided, maybe people would be interested in browsing her extensive rock, shell, feather and pine cone collection. Perhaps she should display her artwork and sell them for 10 cents apiece. How about bouquets of flowers too? Maybe they'd be interested in a nice shoulder or foot massage as well...The idea morphed into such a grand undertaking, that I encouraged her to keep it simple and start small (although now I wish I'd let her go ahead with it just to have the pictures of her "Lemonade stand extravaganza!"). So, $8.43 and a good business lesson later, Sophie is wiser, more experienced and thinking about adding a puppet show next summer.

Wow, you guys are really lame bloggers...COMMENT SOMEBODY! I need the validation.
Who's got time to comment--we're trying to get ready for a wedding back here! On the other hand, Grandma is pleased with Sophie's entrepreneurial endeavors and she loves the pictures--now if only she could get her hands on one of those cookies and quench her thirst with some of that lemonade...
wedding schmedding -all she's got to do is throw on a white sheet and say "I do" (that sounds like something dad would say)
I'll adopt sophie so that I can be a millionaire by age 50.
