Patti and Tim Kaminski at Antique Weekend in Warrenton, Texas.
May is absolutely my favorite month of the year. It’s not yet too hot to enjoy outdoor activities, my son, Kolton, was born in May, school lets out for the summer so our schedules ease up, and of course, May means Mother’s Day!
In this issue, we shine the spotlight on three amazing Brazos moms in honor of Mother’s Day: Casa de Esperanza’s Mothers of Hope. These three women, Colleen, Mary and Eileen, are Casa Moms, which means they open their hearts and homes providing a safe place for children in crisis due to abuse, neglect or the effects of HIV. They are amazing women making a huge difference in both the lives of children in need and in our community. I hope you enjoy their story and remember this amazing organization. Their Fort Bend office is located in Richmond, and their doors are always open to volunteers and supporters.
Speaking of Mother’s Day, if you need a little help finding something special for Mom, check out our Mother’s Day Gift Guide on page 40. You’re sure to find something that Mom will love.
For those of you who are new to the area, kolaches are a serious business in Brazos. Chef Nicholas Maresh, a Rosenberg native, knows this all too well. His Old Main Street Bakery recently opened on Third Street in Historic Downtown Rosenberg, and let’s just say, kolaches are Chef Nicholas’ business. Read all about the new Old Main Street Bakery on page 12.
Speaking of great things to eat, let’s talk chocolate. On Sunday, May 18th, visitors can stroll through nostaligic, Historic Downtown Rosenberg during the Chocolate Walk and enjoy complimentary chocolates from participating shops. The Chocolate Walk is scheduled from noon to 5 pm, and while absolutely! Brazos Magazine doesn’t have a “shop” in Rosenberg, we will be in Third Street Park at our official Chocolate Walk booth at 811 Third Street right next to Southern Sister Designs. We hope you’ll stop by and see us. We’ll have a piece of chocolate waiting just for you!
To all of our Brazos moms, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. And to my sweet boy, Happy 15th Birthday Kolton! Look for Kolton and I at the Department of Motor Vehicles in Rosenberg on May 27th. And pray that Kolton’s momma survives two teenage drivers!
Absolutely! yours,
Patti Parish-Kaminski
