Seems to happen every year. There was one recently where a Grumpy Old
Man called the police on a young girl Police came, each bought a
lemonade and had their photo take with the kid.

Years ago when they were small, our visiting granddaughters took a
pitcher of fresh made lemondage and set up in front of the house. We
get little traffic but the police cr that went by stopped and bought
some. It was from fresh squeezed lemons too.
