The mention of South Bend actually brought some sweet thoughts to my mind, though. A few months ago we heard about the South Bend Chocolate Company cancelling a meeting<\/a> where a Planned Parenthood representative was scheduled to speak.<\/p>\n

I was looking for a way to express my appreciation to the South Bend Chocolate Company for taking this controversial stand against Planned Parenthood. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I decided to order some Cherry Blossoms<\/a> for Terri. (Terri enjoys chocolate covered cherries and I thought that this would give me another opportunity to tell her “I cherish you” as I like to do whenever I give her a cherry.)<\/p>\n

Terri loved the candy, but she doesn’t tend to each much candy at one time, so the Cherry Blossoms lasted from Valentine’s Day, through Terri’s birthday (March 27), all the way to our 24th Anniversary (April 28)!<\/p>\n
