Seguin gets new local flavors to taste-test PUZZLE SOLUTION

I’m going to make a confession. Sometimes, I call my mom just to hear her voice. The phone rings, she picks up and asks, “were your ears burning?” Somehow, we always seem to know when we are thinking about each other. Ever since I moved out on my own, it’s been this way. I’ll be telling a story about her, and as I’m doing so, she’ll send one of those mom texts, ‘just checking on you,’ followed by a smiley face and too many heart emojis.

My mom doesn’t always get me. As a teenager, I reminded her of this frequently, but nowadays, I try to find more ways we align rather than focusing on how we are different. It’s not always easy –– parent/child relationships never are. Kids do our best to bestow grey hairs on our parents while they stress about adult things and whether or not they’re doing enough for their children. It’s a familial dance we do, swirling and spinning around each other, impacting each other’s steps as we do.

This month’s issue of Seguin Today tackles some of these themes in our feature stories. First, you’ll read about Seguin’s Wilson Pottery and how familial legacy built a foundation in Seguin that continues to thrive. Our second story introduces you to James Reid, who shares how overcoming his mother’s death led him to succeed as a professional bowler.

Mothers motivate so much in this world, and these stories highlight how the fabric of families is woven together to create the legacy of this Guadalupe County community. Enjoy this issue, share it with someone you love, and to all the moms out there (especially mine) Happy Mother’s Day!
