Summer came early to Pocantico on Wednesday. Blueberries were the fruit of choice in the cafeteria as our monthly tasting. I tried blueberries for the first time a few years ago and was amazed at what I had been missing. I like to eat them plain. How do you like to eat blueberries?

Today CNN posted some questions about Girl School cookie sales. I often see children in team uniforms selling boxes of candy in front of the grocery store. Do you think that children should sell food that is not particularly healthy to raise money for schools, sports teams, or organizations? What other ways are there for them to raise money? What other things could they sell instead?
