For those of you who might remember me telling you about my friend

[dawn_mo]

in San Diego who lost her home and business in the 2007 wildfires, Mariella, the chocolatier, here is an article that Lorijean was nice enough to bring to my attention and send me the link. I thought you might like to see how she is doing, and once again, thank those of you who helped her out. She is such a lovely person, and I am so happy that her business is thriving.http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2009/07/05/news/inland/fallbrook/z663e36c8f7579fe5882575e800712ebd.txt

What an industrious woman, this friend of yours, Dawn_MO! She's like the saga of phoenix

rising from the ashes, and I mean that literally! Sounds like she is once again on the path to someday owning a multi-million dollar chocolate business. Thanks for posting the article. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

That's quite a story - good for her!

How I'd love to try her hot pepper and brandy chocolates, but the shipping to Redding to protect

from melting would be outrageous, I'm sure and she may not even ship in the summer months.

great story!
