rhubarb?

Since we got off the cruise a few weeks ago the kids tossed around ideas to generate income for another cruise.
Bake sale?  That’s a lot of brownies.
Garage sale?  Great idea – but we have no good stuff.
Mom work more?  Sure – but then we’d have to hire a maid and a cook.
Produce stand?  Hmmm – this one has merit.

 

For the last five (?) years John has had a garden.  For the most part it has done very well.  We’ve had plenty to eat, some to share, and a bit to freeze.  With a little effort, we can expand this garden; and with the kids’ help, they can sell the additional produce.

 

John and the boys built a stand to ride in the tractor cart, and built a standing sign out of a plastic saw horse.

They built a box, too. 

And they made $5 on their first day, and two more the second day. 
We may not earn enough for a cruise in this decade, but I think it’s a great experience just the same.
