Long Time No Blog!

Hey!

It has been a few weeks since I last blogged. I was on vacation/business in CA. My girlfriend and I went to the Natural Products Expo West. WOW! Talk about heaven. I landed right in the middle of it. I have always been this earth loving, granola type. To have the opportunity to attend a tradeshow like that was absolutely amazing.

The trip was a dual mission. One ~ to gather vendor information for possibly opening a store. Two ~ see if that is an avenue I might want to pursue with the Good Earth. I am not sure if our little company is ready to run with the major corporations. Also, it would cost us a small fortune to pull off something like that. I am not sure that is where I want to put my advertising dollars.

It was fun though!

The greenhouse is up and running. Little plants are growing. Spring is in the air. I hear 5o by Wednesday. I can not wait to start running outside! :)

I am back!

I have not written in here for awhile. Wow. Time to get back to the blogging. Well, a lot has happened in the last week. We got our window estimate. I am not even going to blab how much. It is substantial. The plumber and the electrician started working yesterday. How exciting to think in about a week we will have a toilet and running water. We have not had running water in over 3 months out at the house. It really sucks. Finally, we got an estimate on refinishing the hardwood floors. There is no way we are going to take that task on.

Oh and most exciting thing for me was that I got to buy appliances. I bought a front loading LG washer and dryer. A Jen Air professional duel fuel stove and a Jen Air French Door refrigerator with bottom loading freezer. All in stainless. I have waited years for this day. I have been using my grandparents appliances for the last 8 years. I will finally have my own! Jumping up and down with joy.

The house on Lake Michigan is not where we live right now. We live in an old abandoned gravel pit in Maribel. Here is a picture of the last snow storm. Also, I want you to see one of the loves of my life. Gulliver. Doesn't he just look like he is loving the snow!

I have been working on my cream. I don't like my first batch. It is a little to thick and sticky. I need to back off on the Kokum. It first time working with this butter. I need to get a feel for it.

Stay Warm and Safe!
