Patagonia market today
It's been hot but I'm giving it a go tonight.....mixing for a Patagonia bake tomorrow.....levain is out of control, ice is loaded in bins and my fingers are crossed:)
My bakeshop used to be my dad's woodshop.....when Frances and I moved back in with my parents she was only 3 years old...the biggest heartbreak of my separation from her father was that the mother I wanted to be to her was no longer possible...now I had many more roles to play, unfortunately as things played out I found myself running around working part time jobs all over town, making very little money and seeing my daughter less and less. This changed when my father decided to help me build a bakeshop on his property. I'm quite sure he didn't think much of what I was hoping to accomplish by baking bread but he gave it the okay, moved his tools out of the shop and into a cave under the house and let me bake. I have grown my business slowly....many wondering why I haven't expanded into a commercial space yet but the reason has been my daughter. This space has allowed me to work, make money and be with my child as much as I possibly can. We live in my old bedroom right next to the shop....I can run in and out when I need to be with Fran or she can be working with me in the shop. We can be together. She is getting older and the possibility of expanding and growing my business is twirling around in my head almost all the time now.....my dad took both me and my daughter in and did whatever he could to give both of us what we needed, a roof over our head, food, support and guidance....a father to both me and my daughter and I am and will forever be grateful......
Me and my dad:)
Family in the shop this morning:)
