IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. As we land that weekend plane, let’s take a look back at some of the biggest stories from this past week. Hope y’all finish out the weekend strong.

Oh and if you live in the city limits, just a heads up that tomorrow begins bulky trash and brush pickup for the month of July!

Back when we worked a regular job, Sunday evenings would often bring a sense of dread as the work week loomed and 9-5 was about to begin. (But now, everyday is a workday, and we work like 12 hours a day for ourselves. Way less stressful! 🤣)

If the Sunday evening jitters are starting to kick in, Nature's Presence has a natural option that many customers swear by. Their popular Anxiocalm by Terry Naturally is a science-backed echinacea supplement designed to help promote a sense of calm—without unwanted side effects.

Stop by 807 N. Main St. in Boerne to learn more, and shop with confidence knowing it's backed by Terry Naturally's money-back guarantee.
