AAnybody else feel like we’re stuck in the 1980’s Bananarama song “Cruel Summer”?

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning

I sit around

Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry Strange voices are sayin’ (what did they say?)

Things I can’t understand

It’s too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand

It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer

Leavin’ me here on my own

It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer...

Right out of hand for sure! And now it’s August when things really start to heat up... I pray we get some relief soon.

August also means back-to-school time. We wish all the students, teachers and staff a safe, blessed and productive 2023-24 school year. And for the rest of you, don’t forget to slow down in the School Zones!

This issue we feature Boerne’s Mayor Frank Ritchie, and of course his oh-sosweet dog, Bella. I’ll tell you what, if how much a person’s dog loves them is any indication of a person’s character, Mayor Ritchie must be a REALLY good guy! I think we all want someone to look at us the way Bella looks at him. All jokes aside, I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with the two of them and Ritchie’s love for this community is inspiring. Be sure to read the article starting on page 16 to get to know a little bit more about Boerne’s newest Mayor.
