lemonade

Ah! Slightly tart or sickeningly sweet, nothing hits the spot like a cup of homemade lemonade from a bunch of eager kids trying to earn some extra cash. Squishy cups, spitting out seeds, sticky quarters are a part of childhood with more appeal than any computer game. Lately most of the stands around our neighborhood have donated most of their proceeds to charity or local libraries. A fantastic idea! When Iwas a kid we donated all of our proceeds to Providence Road Sundries ( it was a drug store before it became a bar). Our hard earned profits tranferred into deliciously dripping banana, grape or cherry popsicles, Archie comics and cherry cokes. The perfect treat on a hot summer day!
