“A community isn’t built or befriended, it’s connected by offering and accepting. Community is affinity, identity, and kinship that make room for ideas, thoughts, and solutions. Wherever a community gathers, we aspire and inspire each other intentionally . . . And our words shine with authenticity.”

When I started this blog, I thought it was such a great idea in giving our neighborhood some ideas, as well as deals, and a way to spread the word on occasions. I realize there are some that just don't use the internet; however, I do believe most do. I will continue to keep it updated in hopes that some of you will comment, use the freebies, and use it for announcing things!
Welcome to our neighborhood to those who just moved in!

Embroidery:
Just a reminder that I (Cheri Lail) here in our neighborhood has a commercial embroidery machine and can do anything that you may need embroidered. I have supplied NeSmith Elementary school, CYA Baseball league, as well as Isuzu in embroidering apparel for their companies. Check out my website: PitchandStitch.com
National Night Out
I'll throw this out here again. Does anyone have any suggestions? I had originally rented a bounce house for the evening. After multiple attempts at asking for all of your help, I have had no response. Unless some of you want to step forward to help, I will have to cancel that bounce house! Remember this could be an awesome event with enough help!
Recycling
Remember to recycle on Fridays! It helps keep our earth green. And best of all, it only takes a minute to throw recyclable items in the bin instead of the garbage. All paper and magazines need to go to the bins at NeSmith elementary to help them raise money for school supplies! Every little bit here and there helps!
Yard Maintenance
There are a few in the neighborhood willing to do your yard mowing and weed wacking for a very reasonable price. Contact Bently Farms if interested.
Job Listings Asked For
Do you know of a job or have a job that needs help. Please contact Bently Farms to have it listed here.

Father's Day is Sunday! Don't forget your dad's; get them something wonderful!
It is very hot outside, not that you don't know that yet, but remember your animals that may be outside. They need cold water. And, whatever you do, don't leave your babies in the car for anytime at all!
Does anyone have any neat news to send out?

Quote of the Day
If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can't buy.
Money Savings Tip
This is directly from TXU:
Don't use your bigger appliances (washer/dryer, dishwasher, pool pump) between the times of 1 pm and 5 pm. They will charge you less for doing so.
