👉Hamby's Breakfast + New Winery Starts Construction

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. This is The Boerne Life, the newsletter that heard there’s a question going around the Internet: Who would win in a fight, 100 men or a single gorilla? Well, here’s what I know: if a gorilla went to our local YMCA, it could bench a literal ton, squat a car, and crush a medicine ball like we pop bubble wrap. So yeah, my money’s on the gorilla.

In today’s email:

• Hamby’s starts breakfast this weekend 🍳

• Your opportunity to tell the City you get your news from us 😉

• Construction begins on Boerne’s newest winery 🍷

• Pet vaccine + license clinic — deadline to register is today

• A Real ID reminder before your next flight ✈️

And more! So grab your cup of coffee and let’s go! ☕

HAMBY’S BEGINS SERVING BREAKFAST THIS WEEKEND

Better than an Egg McMuffin? We’re about to find out

Starting this weekend, Hamby’s is rolling out a breakfast menu, and we’ve heard from reliable, very hungry sources that the breakfast sandwich is like a McMuffin — but better.

They’ll be serving it up alongside new items like apple hand pies that already have us planning a Saturday morning stop. We’ll be taste-testing soon and reporting back — but you might beat us there.

MAKE SURE THE CITY KNOWS YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE BOERNE LIFE

Because Obviously You Do… 🤪

The City of Boerne and the Patrick Heath Public Library are asking for feedback to improve their services, events, and programs — and they want to hear from you.

As part of the survey, they’ll ask where you get your information about library events and local news. And you and I both know you get it from The Boerne Life!

So when you get to that part, make sure to check “Other” and write in “The Boerne Life.” Let’s make it known that we’ve got Boerne covered.

It only takes a few minutes, and your input really does help shape the future of what the library offers.

YOUR THURSDAY LAUGH

It’s going to be a really good day if this parking spot is available. Only people in the Texas Hill Country really understand… 🌳🤣

WEATHER FORECAST 

Real quick, let’s talk about thunderstorms in the forecast… when the power flickers or cuts out completely, those sudden returns can send dangerous jolts through your home’s electrical system. That could mean fried appliances, damaged electronics, or worse.

Our partners at Mr. Electric of Boerne can help you prepare before the storm hits. They install whole-home surge protectors, offer outlet-level protection, and even provide free home safety checks during the visit.
