Sara, As soon as my husband's small business can afford it they are buying pop machine so can go and fill it. (I'm sure their 5 employees would appreciate it also). Filling the juice and water machines at school is the high light of his day.It doesn't hurt that he gets paid in pink lemonade. LOL!!!

Hi Sara, I think this is a wonderful opportunity for Elie. I hope the business venture works out well. As you know I feel we need to create employment for our kiddos or they will sit stuffing envelopes in a sheltered workshop. I am off for an other event shortly. Hope to have more time to read all the posts this week. They are predicting lots of rain so prayers are needed my way for a halfway decent event. Congrats on the new grandbaby!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I just put the boys on the list so in a couple of weeks they wil start delivering the Reminder( it's a newspaper for the county, only delivered every wednesday) They get paid their own money each wednesday and each route only consists of a couple streets. and we are waiting for a route or two near our street. is very excited to earn more money than his allowance, nathan I think will enjoy putting the papers in the boxes and riding his trike more-- it is my hope this will become more permanent for nathan as the food industry and him are not a good combo. It is also my hope that he will finally get the car is coming I must wait across that stubborn head of his, he does understand the signs etc and will stop etc but then goes right after he stops wheater a car is coming or not. Also he starts vocational next year so I hope this will be an advantage for this. shawna Re: Aging parents In a message dated 8/7/2004 10:31:22 AM Eastern Daylight Time, pastmidvale@... writes: > He has begun a > vending machine business because we know that Elie can learn to fill > machines, empty coin collectors, buy supplies.
