Art Showcase: Fresh Lemonade by Maren

Presenting... Fresh Lemonade, by Maren.
o
Maren wants to have a lemonade stand... we told her maybe in the summer. So she's making signs now.
o
About the sign, she said, "It's a really hot day and the guy is sweating."
o
She also said that her lemonade is going to cost $5.00 per cup. Guess this enterprise will be the Starbucks of lemonade stands!
