I missed my golden opportunity to wish my dear friend Leona Smylie "Happy Birthday," so this is the next best thing. I am blessed for having met her.

And in the crush, I didn't get to offer my congratulations to Harold and Florine Lord on their 64th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary!

With the temperatures cooling off just a little, the fall activities are in full swing. Keep an eye on your calendars for all the neat stuff that will be happening in the coming weeks - the Wild Game dinner the first weekend of October, the Rod Rally in Boerne the next weekend, the rodeo the weekend after that, and the list goes on and on. There's something for everybody, so come on out!

And the community choir rehearsals have begun for the annual Christmas concert, so if you have a burning desire to let your voice be heard, come on!
