Animal Shelter:

You guys (err, mostly girls, I guess) know how I was talking about the animal shelter earlier???  Well, I've decided to round my "friends" up sometime in the summer and have a lemonade stand someplace with lots of people (like, the grocery store exit or something) and raise money for them.  I thought we'd sell stuff like lemonade and cookies. :):) And, Zoe, you'll have to come. :):):):)  Any tips??

back to the Down to Earth

Yes. If you can, do homemade lemonade, the kind with lemon juice and sugar, and not the stuff from a mix. People will come back for seconds on that stuff, and won't complain so much about the cost. Same goes for cookies. Lemonade is kind of a lot of trouble to make, especially if you don't have a juicer, but cookies are pretty easy.

I'm not sure!  I'll try making some!  Sounds good, though!  And extra-lemony, extra-sweet, and (if there are a lot of health nuts where you live) you can even try putting something like wheatgrass or spirulina in it.  *wrinkles nose*
