Serendipity
The occurrence and development of events
by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

That is the way I take this award.
I came home tonight and it was a chardonnay night!
I had just worked 14 hours and now I was ready for my reward.
So I looked in the fridge and found the next best thing: Lemonade.
Go figure.
So I poured myself a nice big glass-who was I kidding I finished the jug!
After eating dinner at 9:00 and hankering for something else to fill the gaps,
I turned on my computer to find a lemonade stand. How sweet!
Given we have a lemon tree out front, lemonade is one of our regular thirst quenchers.
In the spring, I clear out all the lemons and make lemonade with my first graders.
We do this as a service project. All the money is donated to a charity.
Yellow is my favorite color and the smell of lemon blossoms give me a glimpse of heaven.
Lemons, a gift from God, truly soothe. Their gigantic pores make my skin look smooth as silk.
Their sour pucker make my bad attitude seem sweet. They make fish palatable. (jk Fishstyx)
So yes lemons can really be the start of something good. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
As I rattle my brains out. It is the only addiction that has yet to cause me bodily harm.
Although my husband is starting to have computer envy.
So as I pass this onward,
May life give you lemons
So you can make
Lemonade.
