Notes from my week.
- Rough week getting back to real life after a vacation.
- Got a tour of the new Be Able community space.
- The neighbors across the street were having a garage sale, so the kids decided they wanted to set up a table and sell some of their stuff too (and lemonade). I don’t know how much they actually sold, but there were a few people who just gave them money. They ended up with $25 after a couple hours.
