Grape sale
Colin just came to me and said “we didn’t have any sales this year. Can’t we sell grapes?”
He proceeded to pick our sour grapes, wash them and put them on a plate. Of course Holden did the same.
Then he made a sign, with a little spelling help. At first he was going to price the grapes at $50 but decided one dollar was better – and it is all you can eat.
He got a table all ready. He sat down and said “there aren’t any customers but that’s ok I am patient”. A minute later he said “Holden watch the table I am going to look out for people”
About 5 minutes in he expanded into apples. Tart, semi rotten apples, with some decent ones mixed in.
No one has come by yet but Colleen stopped by and bought an apple which made Colin’s day.
They have decided pears might get some people to walk by
Good practice for next summer’s lemonade stand at Block Island! Summer before last the Arizona 3 made $75 in two days (of course I took some of the credit because I provided the brownies!)
