Welcome back readers! The temps are low, and looks like they may get lower next week! I hope everyone is staying warm. We are in the heart of Winter, with many looking ahead to Spring.
If you missed the news last week, two local people who have been working hard for the past six years, finally saw their hard work make their dreams come true! Duane Spaulding and Ann Diefendorf have spent countless hours educating the public, driving to events, picking up milk, making phone calls, amongst many other things. Whole milk has not been in schools in years, and they made it their mission to get it back, as an option. President Donald Trump signed the bill last week, and these two could not be happier! Congratulations to you both! Thank you for your hard work and passion.
This week I would like to spotlight a small business run by Nicole Nesenger. Her business is called Sunny Valley Farms LLC. They offer yarn from sheep raised on her farm and other local fiber farms. Sheepmilk soaps and lotions.Wool pellets, soy candles, beeswax lotion bars and lip balm. I can personally say I love her lotion and it works great! Nicole is on Facebook and goes to many events, if you would like to purchase from her.

Last week our community lost an amazing young man, Benjamin. He was a young life who had lived more than many others much older than him. Benjamin was raised in a large family full of love and faith. I went to college with his mom, Cathy. Each time I would see one of her kids, I would send her a message on how amazing she was doing, as a mom and how great her kids were! Sitting in his service, I learned so much about him. I cried, as I looked around, I saw all the lives he touched. Benjamin had a smile that would light up a room. You will be missed but never forgotten ♡
