The South Bend Chocolate Co. is coming to Goshen General Hospital Feb. 12 and 13 — just in time to spoil a loved one on Valentine’s Day.
The public is invited to the chocolate sale from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 12 and from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 13 in the main lobby of Goshen General Hospital, 200 High Park Ave., Goshen. All South Bend Chocolate Co. Valentine’s Day goodies will be available, including Cupid Crunch and Valentine pretzels. There will be special Valentine’s Day gifts, heart boxes, gold foil boxes and gift baskets, along with many other South Bend Chocolate Co. favorites.
Proceeds from the chocolate sale will benefit the Goshen Hospital Auxiliary.
The Goshen General Hospital Auxiliary is an organization of men and women who provide valuable services to the hospital. Throughout the year, the Goshen General Hospital Auxiliary sponsors a number of projects and fund-raising events throughout the year. Profits generated from events, as well as through the Maple Corner Gift Shop, are returned to the hospital in the form of donated equipment and specialty items.
The auxiliary has donated equipment in excess of $1 million in value. Recent donations include a mammography unit valued at $70,000, a hand-held ultrasound at $25,000, and $13,000 in pediatric resource books for new mothers.
Volunteers are welcome to join the auxiliary at any time during the year. For more information, contact the Goshen General Hospital Volunteer Office at 535-2633.

In the end, I'll take the peace of love and family
I should warn you: My brain is especially dense with thought these days. Elbow-deep in philosophical essays — the kind that demand three or four reads — I’m taking an ethics class required of us would-be health professionals.

Finding the perfect filler for your garden
Rose mallow is a great garden filler. It’s origins are the genus malvaceae (mallow family) and if you are like I am, the mallow family gets rather confusing.

The ‘evolution’ of homeschooling
“Benefit number 9,267 of homeschooling.” That’s one of my favorite lines. I use it — any four-digit number is fine — when I hear something about public schooling I find objectionable, sad, mildly amusing, downright ridiculous or about which I’m simply glad to not have to bother.

All the way from the Indiana/Michigan state line, north to the Kalamazoo River, and west to the city of Kalamazoo, where the bulk of the growing is done, moist lake breezes prevent the extremes of heat and cold in the spring and summer months.

What keeps you going during the lull of winter?
I’m never quite sure about January. First, there’s the cold, chilling to the bone. When I’m out walking the dog, a sharp western wind numbs my brain as well as my fingers.
Then there’s the realization that winter is still here for a couple of months. After the magic of the holidays, each day turns into every day. -
