To relive Chapter One of the C+W click here.
I had planned on taking Cole to Maine this past weekend, but since we were in the throes of a heatwave with no air conditioner in the van, I decided to postpone the 6 hour drive for another weekend. As a result, we found ourselves with a few unscheduled free days. The kids have been hounding me all summer to open up the C+W, so here was our chance.
First thing in the morning on Saturday, Cole threw together some peanutbutter chocolate chip bars to sell.
Wayne made lemonade and he and Heather cut flowers from around the yard to make bouquets to sell.
We got to the C+W and Wayne was all business, while Heather posed for the camera.
They sold some books and Heather drew a picture.
Joanie was their best customer of the day.
The flower bouquets in a sap bucket.
Wayne had made two signs and he and I shared the job of painting them. We placed them up and down the road a ways to give cars a heads up that business was open.
They ran the business Saturday and sunday and grossed $28. Next day of business - Sunday, July 31, day after Glover Day.
So glad to see the C & W open again! Loved the new signs announcing its reopening, the flowers in the sap bucket, the sign listing prices I assume that Wayne made, Heather's drawing, and Cole's peanut butter bars. Can't believe they made so much money. Boy, if I had been driving by, I would have stopped!

Could we have some time frame on 7/31/2011 when the C&W will be open? Also would it be open during inclement weather? I know some potential customers from the Richmond area that really like peanut butter treats.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just had a piece of Wayne's raspberry blackberry pie for breakfast. DELICIOUS!!!

I need the kids' help setting up our farm stand in the driveway! I am so impressed with their $28 earnings!
