It is hard to believe that there are Love Bugs still flying! Our cars are covered in dead bugs, they are littering doorways and pathways but at least they don't sting!
It may seem premature to some but planning for Christmas is underway with many organizations. Last week the 'Community Voices of San Jacinto County' Board of Directors met at Coldspring Texas Grill to start the planning for their annual Christmas Concert. Last year was a great success. This year will be even more so ! President Shelley Thompson produced the updated By Laws and a very detailed Concert Work Plan. Discussion on having more singers in the choir was welcomed. If we can increase the numbers, the Music Director said he would increase the musicians in the orchestra. If you are a singer interested in being a part of this concert please contact Shelley by texting her at 1-469-500-7575. Younger voices are needed too! The concert will be in the Coldspring Community Shelter as it was last year. More information later.

Last Saturday at the Impact Center, Brenda Myers and some of her friends decorated for her Granddaughter Dyanne's Baby Shower. The theme was ' We Can Bearly Wait!' so there were Bears everywhere, stuffed ones, paper ones, wall decorations with bears...it was a wonderful party! Dyanne has been featured here before as she excelled at school and now she is embracing motherhood again with many family and friends around her. Congratulations to both Dyanne and her husband Mason Walters.
I mentioned last week that Shepherd Library has a Wednesday morning 'Tiny Tots Tales' and I lat my Tiger Reginald, (Reggie) for short, went there to be with them. He will be there again this week. The Friends of Shepherd Library, a non-profit group, are supporting the Library with Bingo Night in Willis. This is a state licensed organization for charities and non profits. It is at the Knights of Columbus Hall and supports other organizations through the week. Bingo is well attended and thank you Rick and Terri McIntyre for all your hard work for the 'Friends of Shepherd Library'.
