Antidote to cynicism? Sell lemonade

August 08, 2018 12:00 am • Last Updated: August 08, 2018 5:10 pm

If you ever feel the need to restore your faith in people simply set up a lemonade stand with a two-year-old, four-year-old and a seven-year-old. Charge 10 cents per cup and watch kind people of all ages stop for the chance to make the children smile. We appreciate those of you who stopped, including the man in the "Big Rig" traveling to Plainfield and the wonderful woman who gave the children backpacks full of school supplies. There are wonderful people living among us.
