Patti Parish-Kaminski, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale and Lucia Street at the Houston Junior Forum’s “Conversations from the Heart.” The question on my mind when I visited with Mack: When will the Fort Bend Gallery Furniture be open? Mack assured me by August, our new neighbor will be open and ready for business! Photo by Jordan Scheiner Photography
Spring is finally here – no April foolin’ – and I for one am ready! It’s time to shake off those winter blues, get outdoors and enjoy nature! Two of the most beautiful outdoor places in our area to enjoy nature are frankly, enchanting. Enchanted Forest and Enchanted Gardens are two of Fort Bend’s “garden spots,” and this spring, they have an amazing calendar of free, family-friendly events. Check out their Spring Events Calendar on page 1.
Speaking of outdoor events, April brings something for everyone to enjoy the spring weather. From Easter egg hunts to golf tournaments to the Fulshear Art Walk, you’ll find several great ideas in this issue to be out and about in the Bend. So get outside, and enjoy!
Our cover story features a family who is definitely out and about in the Bend. Attend virtually any community event in Fort Bend, and you will find either a Morales in attendance or their footprint as a volunteer, supporter or sponsor. Vincent and Regina Morales have taught the value of community to their children, and now, they are teaching their grandchildren what it means to serve by example. Read about the Morales family, their family business and their family philosophy on page 8.
Easter is one of my family’s favorite holidays, and this month, we celebrate Easter with an adorable recipe for Easter cupcakes and some ideas to build a great buffet for family friends. Now that my children are both older, I guess I’ll miss out on making treat-filled Easter baskets, watching them hunt for eggs, dressing them up in their Sunday best for Easter service . . . Who am I kidding? There will always be Easter baskets, egg hunts and new pink dresses and bow ties at momma’s house!
From our family to yours, we wish you a most blessed Easter.
Absolutely yours,
