This is for HCE07 and LSC200. Since everyone has such an aversion to snow and cold right now, I decided to make a card based on a childhood memory of when my friends and I decided to do a lemonade stand. We worked so hard and were so excited to make a lemonade stand. We thought we'd be rich with all our business and customers we'd get. Well, our stand was located in front of my house, not a high traffic area. So we didn't have a single customer for hours. What a huge disappointment. Our thoughts of becoming 'rich' were evaporating quickly away. Then, a man in a business suit came walking by and purchased a glass of lemonade. I'll never forget how he smiled and stood there in front of us drinking the entire glass. I'm sure he didn't want that lemonade at all, but just wanted to make some kid's day. I remember being so happy I pleased someone by providing them a cool drink on a hot day.

Bright and cheerful with sunny memories, yes, you got that.
Your story reminded me of when my sister was in junior school (primary, aged about 6) and had to do a survey of how much traffic passed the house in an hour. After the hour was almost up my dad had to get the car out and drive past a few times just so that she would have something to write down. He might have cycled past too - it's so long ago I don't remember. But your story brought it back to me.
