The Lemonade Stand is Closed

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.  Right?  Words to live by, a tried and true saying, and other worn out clichés.  Except as of this afternoon the lemonade stand is closed, there is no reopening date, and this has nothing to do with the health department - which I suppose is a refreshing change.

Just look at this little surprise that was handed to me sometime last night.

Broken at the Trunk

Let's check the interior and see if the damage is worse than expected, better than expected, or about what I expected.  Mind you, I'm a pessimist at heart.

Now we'll see if the insurance company is as happy to hear from me as they were when I sent them a check for the last premium.
