A super fun way to unwind over the holidays = making paperweights with molten glass! Note: Steve at Inspired Fire glass studio in W. Lafayette was a terrific teacher!

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry.

My friends, my loves, my dears.

Don't start.

These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!
