Live in person?

I know, I know … stop picking on the Baptists. I realize that the folks at Calvary Baptist Church are most likely kind-hearted, good-natured folks, but this sign did make me laugh. The wording needs just a bit of tweaking, I think.

Making lemonade…

Friday, August 25th, 2006


Today’s Tennessean has a great story about three Harpeth Hall students who raised $250 last weekend by hosting a lemonade stand on 21st Avenue in Hillsboro Village.

I sure wish my childhood kool aid stands had been that profitable. I also wish I had had the compassion at that age to make the effort for a good cause, like these students did. All of their proceeds went to Second Harvest’s Squeeze Out Hunger initiative, which encourages kids to donate lemonade stand funds to feed the hungry. Way to go, y’all!
