Locale<br />

“We have lived here in <strong>Cypress</strong> area since July 2013. We like living in this<br />

area because it’s where we built our first home and we have family nearby.<br />

Also because everything is nearby and has had many new developments<br />

like Boardwalk, beautiful parks, great schools, restaurants, stores, etc. The<br />

area means a lot to us because we come to see how communities come<br />

together to help and support neighbors in times of need. We have also<br />

meet great neighbors that have become great friends.”<br />

Long Awaited Spring<br />

Their favorite spring time tradition as a family is picking out their<br />

cowboy and cowgirl wear for Rodeo Day, and then head down to NRG<br />

to enjoy the Rodeo food and concerts. Of course, the kids have a blast<br />

at the carnival!<br />

The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town: “For Easter each year as a family,<br />

we like to go to brunch together, followed by Easter church service<br />

and we like to host a BBQ with close friends and family. Our Easter<br />

tradition is an Easter egg hunt for kids, we always make baskets for our<br />

kids filled with their favorite goodies, and bake and decorate an Easter<br />

theme cake.”<br />

And he’s good to me: The kids’ Easter baskets and usually filled with<br />

toys, candies, shirts and each kid’s favorite goodies based on their<br />

favorite character or hobby.<br />

What’s it all about: To this family, the true meaning of Easter is the<br />

“religious celebration celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Also a time<br />

to get together with close family and friends and spend quality time<br />

together.”<br />

Heart to Heart<br />

“One of our biggest challenges was<br />

learning that not everyone is as<br />

understanding towards special needs<br />

and some lack knowledge to Autism.<br />

We went from having such hard times<br />

making a grocery trip or taking my kids<br />

to a playground because some would<br />

look at my son as their definition of<br />

normal and due to his sensory overload<br />

moments adults would stare or make<br />

rude comments when he would stim<br />

or have a moment. Children around<br />

him always seem to be much more<br />

understanding than adults, but we have<br />

come such a long way from letting that<br />

turn into fear to be out in public to not<br />

letting that stop us and my children<br />

from enjoying life and all the beautiful<br />

things life has for them to explore. Now<br />

we enjoy the outdoors more, explore<br />

new places and travel more.”<br />

We Would<br />

LOVE to<br />

<strong>April</strong> 21st, 8 Noon<br />

at Festival Park<br />

off Fry Rd<br />

People have until Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 17, <strong>2018</strong>, to file their 2017 returns and pay any taxes due.<br />

The filing tax deadline is later this year due to several factors. The usual <strong>April</strong> 15 th deadline<br />

falls on Sunday this year, which would normally give taxpayers until at least the following<br />

Monday. However, Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, is observed on Monday,<br />

<strong>April</strong> 16 th , giving taxpayers nationwide an additional day to file. By law, Washington holidays<br />

impact tax deadlines for everyone in the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting<br />

an extension will have until Monday, Oct. 15, <strong>2018</strong>, to file. The IRS expects more than 70<br />

percent of taxpayers to get tax refunds this year. Last year, nearly 112 million refunds were<br />

issued, with an average refund of $2,895.<br />

THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES<br />

a study on Gary Chapman’s renown “The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to<br />

Love That Lasts” starting on Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 10 th at 7-8:15 PM. This study<br />

reveals how different people express love in different ways and contains<br />

the key to understanding each other’s unique needs. What speaks love to<br />

you may be meaningless to your spouse. Apply the right principles, learn<br />

the right language and soon you’ll know the profound satisfaction and joy<br />

of being able to express your love and feel truly loved in return. Each week<br />

the group will view a teaching by Dr. Chapman and have the opportunity<br />

to discuss the principles taught both in the small group and with your<br />

spouse. Singles are also welcome as there will be opportunity to apply<br />

the teaching to relationships with children, parents and other significant<br />

people in one’s life. Classes will last for 75 minutes and a nursery for<br />

preschool children will be available by advanced reservation. Each<br />

participant will need a small-group study book, which can be purchased<br />

from the church. The cost is $10 per book.<br />

a great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag.<br />

When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you<br />

are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more<br />

on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep<br />

your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed<br />

foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your<br />

home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at<br />

least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant<br />

free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception<br />

is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep<br />

it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite<br />

infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your<br />

homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray<br />

eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to<br />

resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The<br />

fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi<br />

from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a<br />

healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop<br />

brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin<br />

and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a)<br />

lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do<br />

not water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper,<br />

stronger and more drought resistant roots.<br />

• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />
