If you are in the area tomorrow morning you should loan your belly to a worthy cause. Here’s the info:

Women’s Prison Book Project
5th Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser
Saturday, February 7, 8am-Noon.
Walker Community Church, 3104 16th Ave S Minneapolis
$6 adults, $3 children.
All the buttermilk or vegan pancakes you can eat, plus fruit salad, grits, coffee, tea, and juice.

All proceeds benefit The Women’s Prison Book Project (WPBP). WPBP is an all-volunteer organization that sends free books and resources to women in prison all over the United States. We do this work to empower women in prison and to help build connections between both sides of the prison wall.

You should go, and spread the word. The little man and I will be attending, as we have every year (he was in utero the first year, so his pancakes were free that time). Afterwards we’re heading to the final family day at the Walker *sniff sniff* before the building is shut down for renovation. I know the end result will be breathtaking and all (and hey, there will finally be a decent place to park) but what will we do the first Saturday of every month until it reopens? Well, apparently there will be a few free first Saturday events in the Sculpture Garden, starting in May, promising “bigger-than-ever family fun”. That helps. Especially thinking about what the Sculpture Garden is like in the Spring. All blue skies with puffy white clouds, and green green grass. Sigh. And just look how much littler the little man was in this photo. That was nearly four years ago. Crazy.
