Instructions for making Lemonade.

There is no use crying over spoiled lemons. Life gives us fresh lemons every day. Our lemonade will never taste good if we try to salvage the rotten lemons of past. Throw them out. As long as there is breath in our lungs, there is a new supply of fresh lemons coming in daily from which to make our lemonade. The truth is, there is no sense in listing instructions for making lemonade out of life's lemons because we never know what kind, quantity, color, or shape of lemons we will be dealt. The only guarantee is that tomorrow's lemons will be fresher than today, as lemons usually are. Welcome to Emily's Lemonade Stand. Open for business since 1991.

Bowling Green has really become home to me. I went driving around the other day and was constantly just taken back by the sights. Bowling Green has the best of all worlds. One minute, you are in the middle of the city. The next minute, you are in the middle of nowhere. Drive downtown, and you go back in time. The houses and shops are stuck somewhere in the 1970's, which I could not love more. I love to picture Alex and I moving into one of these old houses downtown. I took the photo pictured on the side downtown. Just another beautiful day in Bowling Green!



One of my favorite new places is Tea Squares. Abbey, Cameran, and I decided to check it out last week. I had done some looking at their website after hearing some many people talking about it. We expected to find tea and desert. However, we ended up having tea and hamburgers. Call me crazy, but it was delicious! Of course, now I am on the hunt for a tea pot with matching tea cups and stand. I have a growing list of kitchen needs when I move into my next apartment. So far, I have purchased one bread pan. One item down, a million to go.








Alex came and visited me in Bowling Green this past weekend. I have to say my favorite memory from the weekend was making fried oreos! We were really unsure of ourselves. I have asked for a fry daddy for my birthday. However, in the mean time we had to resort to cooking on the stove. We luckily had a thermometer from a candle making kit and found a website that gave us some good guidance. Luckily, I can report we did not receive any burns nor did we burn down my apartment. We had a blast! It was so fun to play house for a weekend and have a small preview into our lives together. Another thing from this weekend I will never forget is him making me coffee. I sat in the living room folding laundry while he was fixing my coffee in the kitchen. He asked me how much sugar I wanted, how much milk, so on and so fourth. I kept giving him vague answers which he kept turning down asking for a more specific measurement or detail. I started to get frustrated and wonder why it was such a big deal and said, "It's not a big deal, okay?" He calmly responded, "I know. I just want to know how to do it right so I can make your coffee someday." My heart melted.
