Jenny D's Citrus Squeeze

Meet the Faces behind Jenny D's Citrus Squeeze

Would you even know I'm in public education if I didn't use my school picture somewhere?! (One perk of working in a school: a professional picture of yourself every year of your career!)

Hi, I’m Jenny Dellinger — chief lemon squeezer, taste tester, and official bringer of the zest.

What started as a love for fresh citrus (and maybe a slight obsession with perfecting the sweet-to-tart ratio) turned into a full-blown lemonade adventure.

I believe lemonade should be:

Freshly squeezed
Bright enough to wake up your taste buds
Fun enough to make you smile

No powdered mystery mixes. Just honest-to-goodness citrus magic.

Because life’s too short for flat lemonade.

Meet Chris Dellinger (Head Lemon Lifter & Spotlight Avoider)

Every lemonade empire needs a behind-the-scenes wizard. Enter: Chris Dellinger.

He’s bald. He rarely smiles. He absolutely does whatever Jenny D tells him to do.

And honestly? That’s what makes him legendary.

Chris is the master craftsman behind the magic — the tool-slinging genius who remodeled a yard-sale find pop-up camper and turned it into a citrus-squeezing masterpiece. If something needs building, fixing, rewiring, leveling, reinforcing, adjusting, or “just making it work,” Chris is already three steps ahead (even if he pretends he’s not).

He won’t brag.
He won’t make a big deal about it.
He’ll probably shrug and say, “It wasn’t that hard.”

Meanwhile, the rest of us are staring at his work like he just built the Taj Mahal out of plywood and determination.

He’s the steady hands behind the stand, the muscle behind the magic, and the reason everything actually functions.

Sure, Jenny D brings the zest — but Chris makes sure the squeeze stand doesn’t fall over.

And for that, we salute him. 🫡🍋

✈️ Meet Logan Dellinger (Chief Dream Chaser & Reason We Sell So Much Lemonade)

This is Logan.
Our only child.
Our pride and joy.
Our tuition invoice.

Currently a student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University — his dream school since the third grade — Logan always knew he wanted to aim high. Specifically, very high. Like, aerospace engineering high.

While other kids were changing career goals every week, Logan was locked in. Planes. Rockets. The sky. Done deal.

He’s smart, quick-witted, and just the right amount of sarcastic. The kind of kid who can calculate flight trajectories… and also remind you how much interest accrues on a student loan.

And when your only child chooses one of the most expensive schools he can find in pursuit of building the future of flight?

Well…

You start squeezing lemons.

Jenny brings the zest.
Chris builds the stand.
And Logan?

He’s the reason we hustle a little harder, pour a little sweeter, and happily turn citrus into college tuition.

One cup at a time. 🍋✈️

🍋 The Official Taste-Test Team (Highly Opinionated. Zero Chill. Very Thirsty.)

Behind every great batch of lemonade is a very serious panel of experts.

Meet the family.

Shelley (The Sister)
Part cheerleader, part quality control supervisor. She’ll hype you up — but she’ll also tell you if it needs “just a tiny bit more sweetness.” Brutally honest. Deeply loyal. Always ready for a refill.

Emily — aka Imy (The Next Generation)
Young, energetic, and completely committed to the sampling process. If it passes the Imy Test, you know it’s good. She brings the fresh perspective… and occasionally asks for extra cherries.

Nana-the-Great (The Legend)
Every operation needs wisdom. Nana brings it. She’s been around long enough to know what “real flavor” tastes like — and she does not approve of anything watered down. When Nana nods, we know we’ve nailed it.

Pam (Mom)
Supportive, encouraging, and always proud — but don’t let that fool you. She takes her role on the taste-test team very seriously. If something’s off, she knows. Mom radar extends to citrus.

Bob (Dad)
Calm, steady, and fully committed to research and development. By “research,” we mean drinking multiple cups to be absolutely sure. It’s a sacrifice. He’s willing to make it.

Together, they form the backbone of quality control.

The sip squad.

The citrus council.

Because around here, lemonade isn’t released to the public until it survives the family.

And trust us — that’s a high bar. 🍋💛
