Do you buy products made locally?  Is there anything made in your area that you love?

Oh, boy, is there!  Grandpa Joe's Chocolates.  They're made by some lovely people we've come to love who have a wonderful gift store, Rosewood Farms, just down the road.  They use recipies from his grandfather, who went to professional candy making school in the early 1900's.  The results are absolutely, mouthwateringly wonderful.  Godiva doesn't come anywhere near these, people!  :::pausing to gaze raptly into space while drool collects in small puddle on keyboard:::

One of my favorite things about buying Grandpa Joe's is that John and Melody and their children (grown, some working in the business) are all such good people.  It's a pleasure to contribute to their business.   

And, yes, they take online orders.  :)

My husband and I have two children.  We are pretty careful about what we feed them, attempting to keep the sugar intake to a reasonable amount.  One weekend out of every month his mother scoops them up for a weekend at Grandma's, where I am told they are indulged.  ("She lets us eat sugar," gasped one on her arrival home, "with a SPOON!")  Little do they know what their parents eat here at home while they're gone.  Lunch today, for example, consisted of barbeque potato chips, chocolate eclaires and chocolate milk. 

In keeping with the theme of this blog, I feel it only fitting to report that none of these substances have any refractive qualities to speak of.  This given, I decline to here consider any potential theological implications.
