Here it is.  There is a link to it in the “Pages” section of the left-most column of this blog, too.

Lorena has been thinking about starting a little business for a long time.  She has come up with an idea that not only sounds like a lot of fun, but is close to the Holly Springs Public Library.  They have a farmers market there on Saturday mornings starting in the spring.  She wants to sell salsa there.  It is almost perfect.  I was getting ready to object that we would be stuck there for four hours every Saturday.  Kelly reminded me that she and Christian could sell stuff there, too, and that I could go drink gourmet coffee at the Holly Springs Public Library and work on my computer!!!  I really did not have an answer for that.  Actually, this sounds like a great opportunity to set up a little business with books and all.  Our good homeschool friends in Indiana have been quite successful at such endeavors.  Their kids are involved.  They learn a bunch, make some money, and it surely sounds like they have a good time, too.  I told Lorena and the kids I will not be involved in any way other than as an accounting and business consultant (After all, I am going to be sitting in the library drinking gourmet coffee — one has to set their priorities!).  It is their thing.  They are going to have to get their offerings developed and a production plan.  They are going to have to put together a decent display, etc., etc.  The reality is that I would not be nearly as good at this sort of thing as Lorena–she loves it, is good at it, and I am all for it.
