MAMA    NOTE

My girls have been pleading with me to let them do their stand some more.  After discussion, they’ve decided to rename it “The Yummy Stand” because we ran out of sour oranges.  And now that the oranges on that “sour orange” tree are ripening, they are SWEET!  HA!  We like to think that the tree is so happy we’re using it’s fruits that it’s gone sweet.  Sort of like when someone is sad and they try to cover it up by being mad… and then someone else is nice to them and listens for a little while… the previously angry person is a lot kinder and happier.  I’m sure you’ve known someone like that!  Well, we just happen to have an orange tree doing something similar!  Too funny, right!?

I did begin to feel some small nigglings and discomfort with being on the side of the road.  The girls did amazingly well with it.  But the baby, and now he’s VERY mobile, may not do so well.  What to do!?

Well, I’ve told the girls they can still sell what they make… but do it person by person and hope for good word-of-mouth advertising.  They still very much want to run their Yummy Stand… and even desire to sell hot cocoa, but I just don’t know if we will right now.

However, if anyone would like to buy some goodies from them… or a painting… or a homemade Christmas ornament… let us know in the comments or at their business email: gollygangbusiness(at)yahoo(dot)com.  Ria is quite the baker and makes peanut butter cookies, cake mix cookies (all kinds of flavors), and snicker doodles with no help (except for with the oven).  If you have a desire for something else, just let her know and she’ll have some help from me to make it.  The, all three, love to make ornaments (usually sculpted out of oven baked clay called Sculpy) and then painted and sealed.  They all LOVE to paint, too!  Send a note and share what you’re interested in and we’ll figure out how much that’d run and see if that would work for you.  I know my girls hope to hear from you!

Thank you, in advance, for supporting and encouraging their entreprenurial spirits!
