Day 217: Bought A Freckled Lemonade

Last week, I received an email from Red Robin (yum!) about not only getting $3.00 off my purchase of a freckled lemonade, but also about their partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand- fighting childhood cancer. For every freckled lemonade bought, Red Robin will donate 5 cents to Alex's Lemonade Stand. Now, 5 cents doesn't seem like too much, but while enjoying my meal there were at least 10 freckled lemonades ordered around us.

Naturally, after seeing the email about lemonade and Red Robin, it had been on my mind and sounding tasty! This afternoon when my mom asked if I'd like to go to lunch, it took only a minute to say yes. Both my brother and I ordered freckled lemonade (there's 10 cents right there). It is to my knowledge that this partnership will last, so next time you are eating at Red Robin, order yourself a refreshing strawberry lemonade. However, if you happen to visit before the 15th of August, you will get your lemonade for a mere 99 cents! Lemonade and helping fight childhood cancer...there's nothing better. 

God bless,

Day 198: Bought Lemonade From A Stand

This morning I was on my way to work, just driving down the road and I saw something glistening in the distance. As I got closer, I realized it was none other than a large pitcher of lemonade. Next to the lemonade pitcher was a young girl holding a sign that said,"lemonade 75 cents!" Of course I had to stop and purchase a refreshing glass of lemonade. However, I gave her a whole dollar instead of a 75 cents. She accepted it and replied by smiling and "Oh, well thank you!"She smiled and waved good-bye and I was on my way.

When I was younger, my friends and I tried selling many things- including lemonade- to raise a little money. So, I know how good it feels when someone did stop and donated even a quarter. Sometimes,  only one person would stop and that person would make my entire day! Maybe I was that one person for her or maybe she had better luck than I ever did! Who knows? But what we do know is, when life gives you lemons make  75 cent lemonade!

God bless,
