Bill's Story

After retiring from law enforcement (29 yrs) I decided to try the "sweet" life. In 2000 my wife Pam and I purchased a small chocolate factory in Paradise Ca. Our business is named Joy Lyn's Candies. We celebrated the businesses 40th anniversary in 2009.. It's a sweet business. We make over 70 candies the old fashion way - cooked in copper kettles using only the finest ingredients. Our newest product, jalapeno beer brittle, was a 1st place international award winner in Dearborn Michig...Expand for more
an last June. It is made with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and can be found in the gift shop at Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico and at their new store in N. Carolina. It is also available in Red Bluff and Redding at Enjoy the Store. And, of course you will find it at Joy Lyn's Candies. Come and visit and watch us making candy. Or Come to Paradise and have fun at the Paradise Chocolate Festival in May. If you come to visit Joy Lyn's Candies make sure you ask to see me or say hi on my facebook.

As the rising sun lights the way
Glorious red and orange shining high
Ah, the beauty of a morning sky
People in the news inspired this poem:

CHAMELEON PEOPLE
When someone shows you who they are
believe them and keep them afar.
Like a chameleon they change their colors
hiding deceit and lies under covers.

If you trust them
THE SKYWAY

Ascending the burnt hill from the valley floor
the fire damage I couldn't ignore.
Our green world was turned gray 
it happened in less than a day

Now two years have passed

If you have a cat you might relate to this poem:
    FELINE SPIRIT
I'm sulky and mischievous
Some say I'm cantankerous
But I can be warm and loveable
And sometimes huggable

I do what I wish to do
Sometimes just to please y
This is why I'm returning home Dec. 4th.

RETURN TO PARADISE
Two endless weary years have passed
A new sweet home at long last
No more temporary rental house
Or driving here or thereabouts

Planning a new changing life

The Gold Nugget Parade, a photograph by Doug Keister and a song by Sandy Miller and Carolyn Steele inspired this poem:

OUR GOLDEN RIDGE

On our golden Ridge my spirit roams
the only place that feels like home.

your pictures paint a story tall.
Our Ridge history is on display
proudly reflecting our yesterday.

A gift to Paradise with love
to honor the Ridge and the memories thereof.

In 1863 the liberty bell barely made a sound
and slave emancipation ran aground.
Freed but not given equality
left a nation to fight racial hostility.

African Americans were treated with little respect and rights, leaving
WE LOST THE LINE!
Capital Police couldn't hold the line,
Many were beaten with a Trump sign.
Out numbered more than twenty to one,
they lost the line and were overrun.
"Pull Back "  the officers yelled,

Political Tourism

A normal tourist visit he said
thats the lie he tried to spread
If you believe his tale
I have a bridge for sale

400 tourist arrested so far
many for swinging a wrecking bar
People died on the White Hous
Where do I get a gift for mothers Day?

There is a candy shop in our town
known by many miles around.
Its award winning sweets attracted fame
Joy Lyn's Candies is its name.
Quality chocolates, brittles and more
