A little bit of this and that

School has been going well. Nine days down, 171 to go.

The heat is killing us, though. Everybody is cranky. The beach last Sunday was awesome. There was a wonderful breeze the whole time. All the kids finally got to go to the beach and play. There was also a pool with a huge slide. The big kids had a bunch of fun with that.

Yesterday, L decided she wanted to have a lemonade stand. I said she could. So at noon, the hottest part of the day, on one of the hottest days of the year they all head outside with a pitcher of blueberry lemonade and a pitcher of tea. They made $40! Many people just threw money at them. One lady gave a $10 bill for a $.25 cup of tea. A pizza delivery guy gave $5. Lots of people gave money without taking a drink.

I've done a tiny bit of sewing. I made a rice sock and hand warmers for Mr. and Mrs. McDowell. They have been L's SS teachers for 2 years. I also finally got around to making a bag for our Rummikub game. Now we can play without seeing the tiles in a zip lock baggie. Both of those together were half a yard. I'm 5.5 yards in the hole. I should be able to sew up something to break even.
