It’s Tuesday May the 12th. 

And it was on this date in 1960 that Elvis appeared on a Frank Sinatra TV Special where Elvis sang Witchcraft, and Frank performed Love Me Tender.  Also Steve Winwood turns 78 today, and Billy Squier is 76.  Here in Boerne happy birthday to Carol Hobbs and Jeff Strain.

Well it’s the buzz in Boerne and really quite fun…and sad.

A new Bravo TV reality series has been greenlit to officially begin filming in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, the working title for the show is “Secrets, Lies, Texas Wives” - The show's description reads, "In the heart of the Texas Hill Country is the picture‑perfect town of Boerne, where wealth, beauty, faith and family reign supreme” featuring a "tight-knit circle of glamorous women"...it will follow along with their lives as they navigate raising their children, running their family-run ranches, and managing "sparkling social calendars in a town rooted in rodeos and tradition." 

Alright so…lots to lots to break down here…1) rooted in rodeos?  They ain’t from here. 2) sparkling social calendars?  Hey when is that bunco group meeting again?  3) Secrets, Lies, Texas Wives - it rhymes…but here’s a secret…a lot of folks fled Hollywood to come to Boerne…and according to Kendall at Taylor’s Ace, the luxury drama she sees in their store is arguing over paint colors, and whose husband forgot to bring home the propane.

Boerne Firefighter Santiago Anaya recently led a fire prevention presentation in Spanish at Fabra Elementary School, helping students learn key safety lessons in a language they understand. The program, held in partnership with Boerne ISD, covered smoke alarms, home escape plans, and what to do in an emergency. Fire officials say the bilingual outreach helps lifesaving information reach students and their families across the community. 

Hill Country Family Services has a new wish list for the month of May,  highlighting the current greatest needs for the corner cupboard. This month they are asking for donations of dish soap, cereal, small cans of coffee, strawberry jam, canned peaches and laundry soap. But cash is where your dollar goes the furthest thanks to the food bank - $25 feeds a family of 4 for a week!  See what I mean at hcfstx.org.
