I haven’t done a bullet style post in a very very long time. This is what life has been reduced to lately. It’s mostly because I think my computer is dying and I don’t know how long it will hold out (please be until after Sweet Hope). In any case here’s my life lately. I […]
Sweet Hope
Orphan Sunday
Despite the issues we’ve been having in our house we know how incredibly blessed we are to be the parents of Oleg. He has made our lives so indescribably wonderful. Today is Orphan Sunday. It is a worldwide observance that asks everyone to pray for orphans worldwide. This is my prayer every day, but today […]
Ready, Set, Vote
I’m shocked. I put up the voting poll on Saturday evening (could have been Sunday morning) and I’m the only one to vote. Wow, no one really does read my blog anymore. It was a tough job, but our taste testers from around the world have sampled the new flavors for this year and narrowed […]
It’s that time again!
Comments are now closed. Taste testing flavors have been selected and the taste testers will be notified by the end of this week. Today is September 20th. You know what that means? That means it’s time for the Sweet Hope Primary. It just took me about 20 minutes to figure out how I did the […]
Can you help?
One thing that was put on hold during the agonizing wait was Sweet Hope. I take that back. It wasn’t totally put on hold, it was just put into the background. I haven’t focused on it at all because I wasn’t sure if we’d be doing chocolates again this year or not. If we were […]
Sweet Music
Other than being the strongest woman anyone has ever known, Bev Lindholm was most known for music. She was an amazing musician and shared that gift with as many people as she possibly could. That gift even stretched across an ocean. You see… without Bev, Sweet Hope would not be where it is today. You […]
More Birthdays
Which one do you want first? The one where I read an email first thing in the morning and it makes my head hurt because I haven’t had coffee yet or the one that makes my head hurt all the time because it is reality? We’ll go with the all the time hurty and end […]
Just stuff
I had to take a moment from the mind numbing work of rebuilding Sprouting Off to do something equally mind taxing. I swear I’m a glutton for punishment. Last week I decided that I was going to do all kinds of upgrades to Sprouting Off (I’ve been posting there quite regularly) and in the process […]
Thank you
I want to thank all of you who have left a word of support for me. It’s good to know I’m not crazy sometimes. Just as a little pick me up the final(ish) profit total for Sweet Hope is $6023. Earlier this year the board approved to send $3000 to Mirnoe. The remainder of the […]
Knock me down a peg
Anyone who knows me in person, or who has read this blog for any length of time knows that January is not a good time for me. Really, it’s more like the day after the candy leaves until February 1st. I do my best to enjoy Christmas, but it doesn’t always happen. Thursday morning I […]
