THANK YOU!

Today I stopped by the sale of some of the items left over from our favorite restaurant in San Marcos. Fryar's Folly closed a while back and Tammy the owner was selling the restaurant content from her warehouse. It is always so sad to see a business go under for whatever reason. We celebrated family reunions, anniversaries, school successes, private intimate chats, etc. It was a place where the wine was excellent and the food divine. Thank you Tammy for the good times - the best to you in your new ventures!

If you ever find a place like this one -my advice is, patronize it, enjoy it, live it, and thank God for the moments with your loved ones.

GOOD NEWS - A START AFRESH IN FALL...

Oh! to put this behind us... what a blessing! There was too much noise that distracted everyone from our main mission. I am so glad for all concerned...

"The 'Contract Ratification' votes have been counted.  Of the 813 ballots cast 81% voted to ratify the contract.  Pending approval by the School Board, the contract will take effect July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013."
