Homemade Lemonade

My friend Jessica had a bag of lemons that she wasn’t going to use, so when I finally left my house, after 57 days of quarantine, to have happy hour with her from my car in her driveway, she tossed the lemons in the back seat.  I went home and made homemade lemonade with them.  Moral of the story: When Jessica Riley gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
