Sweet Desert, My Cousins, & Dewar's 100 Year Celebration

MAY 22, 2009

This past weekend... my husband and I made a road trip to attend the 100 year celebration of my cousins' candy and ice-cream shop in Bakersfield ~ [Dewar's](http://www.dewarscandy.com/)...

It was the best time you could imagine...

here I am with my aunt Rosina...

I am so proud of my cousins...
(some of you met them when you voted for them to become the Greatest Thing About Bakersfield)

For they have continued their family business, a rare thing in this day and age... Creating a place where their community can come together and share in the delights of all things sweet and delicious... and with their mail order service, their confections can travel around the world! Here are fourth generation Michael and Heather Dewar with Bakersfield Mayor Hall...

There was lots and lots of ice-cream to cool the over 100 degree heat!!!

And, there was a chew tasting! My cousin Michael, chef extraordinaire, created eight new exotic chew flavors for people to taste! From PeanutButter & Jelly to Hot Chili!

There was a Dewar Museum... where my husband Milt, checked out some of the antique candy making equipment...

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
