Would you Quote Me?

We love quotes.  Kayla, in particular is good at finding inspiring quotes.  Me?  I just stumble upon cool one from time to time.  Here's a list of quotes we really enjoy.

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn" -- Alvin Toffler

"I've done so much with so little for so long, that now I think I can do anything with nothing." -Unknown

"I have insecurities, of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me." -Adele  

"I'm not playing for the everybody's.  I'm playing for the somebodies."  -Kevin Village Stone (OUR BASSIST!) 

"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live." -Martin Luther King Jr.

"I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy." -Adele

Lemonade Stand (We Buy Local)

As Kevin and I drove through the mountains on our way to our favorite get away spot, we were flagged down by a group of kids in bathing suits, standing in their parents lawn with a big ol' sign that said LEMONADE.  Probably made with Crayloa markers.  The scented kind. 

We pulled over and jumped out of the car only to be swamped by three foot humans, telling us this was the best lemonade we would ever have.  We asked the oldest boy who seemed to be in charge, how much it would cost for two lemonades.  He quoted us 75 cents each and after a moment's pause to allow mental math, we were told our grand total was $1.50.  We handed the designated accountant three and told her to keep the change.  I've never seen kids so excited over three dollars.

Watching the pure excitement of children has side effects.  Some of which might include:

* positive endorphins released from the ingestion of the Best Lemonade You'll Ever Have
* a thinner wallet, but a fuller smile
* buying local which supports the local economy
* unexpected and sudden memories of your own childhood

Support your local Lemonade Stand.

Till next time,
