Mary said...: Hi!
I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to your message. I have been SO BUSY with our bakery fundraiser that I've barely have time to breathe. I never got your email address...where did you leave it for me? =)
Where is your family in the adoption process? It would be really neat if we were close together. God bless your adoption journey!

Mary said...: Also, I have no idea about having a cake shipped to Colorado. So far we have only been doing local sales. We have a friend who is prob. going to make us a website, and we are considering expanding our business online sales with shipping. We'll see. Thanks for asking!; November 25, 2008 at 5:57 PM

There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been washed up on the shore. As he looked down the beach he noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them back into into the ocean. He got closer and called out "Good morning! What are you doing?" The boy paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing strfish in the ocean. If I don't throw them back in they will die." The man said, "Don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference." The boy listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves. He looked at the man and said, "It made a difference for that one."
