“Love is all you need.” – Paul McCartneyWe celebrate the things we love all year round – that’s the essence of Enjoy! But love is always in the air in February, and we’re delighted to give you a peek at some unique stories from the heart in this issue.
You’ll be riveted by the love story of Sheila Heuer and her horse, Cowboy, who she believes saved her life by alerting her to a dangerous illness lurking in her body. She later penned a children’s book, immortalizing Cowboy as the protagonist.
Marc Duivenvoorden fell in love with dairy farming when he was a preschooler, and the Cottonwood native has made it his life’s passion to follow in his parents’ footsteps. His family provides raw, unpasteurized milk to folks who buy cow shares in his dairy. “I get to have a relationship with families and they’re all important to me,” he says.
And down in Red Bluff, the love between John and Babs Robinson is so grand that it spills over into the home of their stately Victorian home, infusing each crevice with personality and charm. We’ll share their heartwarming story.
Planning a Valentine’s Day date? We’ll give you some tips for accentuating the positive and creating your best self. And if you’d like to wow the one you love with flowers, perhaps a trip to Mallery’s Nursery and Florist is in order – we’ll give you a closer look at the shop that has been helping North State patrons celebrate special occasions since 1946.
Consider whisking your loved one away to visit a unique, hidden treasure. At Mooney Farms near the Chico Municipal Airport, revel in old Tuscan culinary and architectural delights as you stroll along a path lined with 200-year-old olive trees, lavender and rosemary. Or capture your favorite sports fan’s heart with tickets to see the Redding Heat, a minor-league football team that kicks off its second season soon. And since nothing says “love” like a home-cooked meal, do your pre-gaming at The Savory Spoon, where they’ll fill your bellies with tasty, healthy food that will remind you of Mom’s cooking.
To love!
