Help us wish our Chief Officer of Cuteness the happiest FIFTH birthday!

Pandie has given us five years of unabashed joy, giggles, faithful love and so much zest for life. She is smart as a whip, adventurous, still loves to play, and thinks every single person who enters our doors is coming to see her.

She is taking the day off to enjoy her favorite kind of weather but will be back at work bright and early tomorrow morning to show off her new lambie.

Happy birthday, Pandie. You came into our lives in the midst of a pandemic and reminded all of us to be here now. And you continue to remind us that right now is the very best moment. Here’s to more puppy kisses, snuggles, and tug-o-war. 🐾❤️🎉

And on Fridays we’re officially open for business as a GED testing facility, with more tests to come!

We are now the only GED testing facility in a 45 mile radius. We welcome not only Wharton County residents, but also all surrounding county residents to schedule testing with us.

We’d love to hear about other computer-based tests needed in our region. Feel free to comment below and we will get to work.

If you ever want to know why there aren’t authorized testing centers everywhere, just ask Amelia or Yoli what it took to get this sign in the window.

Congratulations to Jackson Burditt on receiving his Eagle Scout rank. It was especially sweet to celebrate his accomplishment as the beneficiary of his hard work through the construction of our farm stand.

When we say Hesed House has been built for our community and with our community, we love to share the projects Eagle Scouts from Wharton and El Campo have completed on our campus.

Thank you to Jack, his fellow scouts, and the many adults who continue to lead and mentor them 💙
