Kim Cress, MD and Patti Parish-Kaminski enjoy The Grand Tasting at Sugar Land’s Wine & Food Affair.
Editor-in-Chief, Patti Parish-Kaminski –
As I get older, time passes much more quickly. My Mawmaw always told me that old adage growing up when, as a child, it seemed like the school year was an eternity and literally decades would pass before Christmas came around. Now, as an adult, I get it. It seems like just yesterday it was January, and now, the kids are out of school, and it’s June.
Along with summer, June marks the seventh issue of absolutely! Brazos – just another example of how time flies when you are having fun. We are absolutely having the best time covering Brazos, and we sincerely appreciate all of the support we have been shown by readers, advertisers and the community as a whole. Thank you for embracing us as your community magazine. We are absolutely! loving Brazos!
Speaking of community, in this issue we focus on a true jewel in Fort Bend: The George Ranch. If you have children in Fort Bend schools, you have likely been on a field trip to the ranch. I can’t even count how many times my family and I have enjoyed activities at the George Ranch, and now, there’s a new immersive exhibit that combines nature and history providing a unique educational and enjoyable experience. The Heritage Trail opened in May, and this quarter of a million dollar project tells the story of how the early settlers had to adapt to their environment in order to survive. The trail winds along the banks of the Dry Creek, and the setting is both serene and thought-provoking. The Heritage Trail is a great way to spend time with the family, and on July 13th, the ranch is hosting its 25th Anniversary Celebration offering free admission to the public. Take some time this summer to visit the George Ranch; you won’t be disappointed.
Our High School Hot Shot this month is Patti Fennesy from Foster High School. Read about Patti’s achievements and her love of animals on page 14, and if you know someone who is High School Hot Shot material, let us know. We love shining the spotlight on our youth.
Happy Father’s Day to all of our dads, and Happy Summer because ready or not, summer is here! Hope to see you out and about in Brazos. I’ll be the one in the shade with a big hat and fan!
Absolutely! yours,
Patti Parish-Kaminski
