Here we are at the end of the school year, what an exciting and stressful time. Parents and students, especially those of seniors, need a minute to slow down and talk about real things that matter and make safety a priority.

More Likely to Succeed
Did you ever get one of those medals in school that said:
MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED
Me Neither! Although I am pretty sure several of the Pearsall Public School Teachers and I KNOW ALL OF THE COACHES told me I was….Most Likely to Mess Up! Or similar words.
No complaints.
Had some good weather lately but, not a lotta rain to go with it. Couple Sundays ago, we got 9 tenths and yesterday, we got one tenth. No complaints. Our daughter and son-in-law got over a full foot of rain last week in Magnolia, Texas. Nickie said she had to dump her rain gauge a couple of times and lost the true measurement.
Weekly dose of Lytle P.D.
I’m happy to bring you your weekly dose of Lytle P.D. news, so let’s get started. Your officers managed 61 calls for service and conducted 82 traffic stops. Of those stops, 58 resulted in a citation, and 24 were warnings.
Take What You Can From Me
An important lesson in Life, at least for Me, is that no two people walk the same journey while in and of this World.
Things and Stuff
Got a little over a half inch of rain last Saturday and it brought our total to over 10 inches for the year (10.3). Bluebonnets have fizzled out and the stickers are starting to show up. Gonna be summer soon.
Live It and Not Just Hear It
An incident occurred recently at our Worship Service one Sunday morning that struck a certain chord in me and the result of that situation and my reaction to it caused the idea for this Tale to come about.
The Boss Lady and I were sitting there enjoying the singing and looking forward to the Message/Lesson when one of our Security Team Members touched me on the shoulder and said come with me. Now this Big Ole Boy is someone I think the world of, so I immediately jumped, or maybe more like stumbled up, and quickly followed him out.
Fiestas
My husband used to say that he never saw a bunch of women, like his wife and daughters who could celebrate their birthdays quite as long as we did. Yes, even though my party was on the 30th, this past Tuesday, my sister and some friends and I went out for dinner for my birthday! We went to a local Mexican Restaurant; my friend had arranged ahead of time that “Happy Birthday” would be sung.
The Best $5
When we started running low on candy as we helped stuff eggs for the Easter Bunny, we started getting creative. I stuffed a few with blackberries and fishing lure plastic worms just for the heck of it. My little sister wasn’t amused, but hey, you never know how a kid’s gonna react. My son does love his fruit! But then we found grandpa’s coin bucket and started stuffing eggs with quarters as we know the kiddos love having quarters for the gumball machines in town. Grandma threw quite a few one dollar dollars eggs too.
A+ Bond Rating
There’s a lot to go over this week so first the good news.
For the first time in 20 years, the City of Devine has been assigned an A+ Bond Rating by S&P Global Ratings including a stable outlook for the future. Simply put, this allows the city to get better interest rates and funding opportunities for capital improvements, specifically our 2.5 million water storage tank by Warhorse Stadium.
