Last night around 5:45 p.m. we had a little knock at the door. Jesse was on the telephone so I answered it. There was a little girl (maybe a second grader) with her Dad. She had a pink purse and she was carrying a rubbermaid full of pencils and pens. She said that she was selling pretty pencils and pens to raise money for ice skating lessons. You could buy a mechanical pencil for $1.00 and the rest of the pencil and pens were $.50.
Jesse rounded up $3.00 in change and we bought pens... we seem to loose them no matter how many we have. We started talking to them and she said that ice skating lessons were $90!!! Her Dad said that they had her already signed up at the YMCA and now she wanted ice skating lessons. He told her that she needed to raise the money for lessons. She was the cutest thing and Jesse thought it was so cool for this Dad to be taking his daughter around teaching her that things just don't grow on trees!!
When we were done she said, "Thanks for doing business with me." And she shook our hands!!
