<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Share & Prayer<br />

<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Share & Prayer is a group of women that meets to encourage<br />

one another in their journey in knowing, following and pursuing God. It’s<br />

Faithwalking includes daily spiritual workouts tailored to one’s own<br />

needs, exploration into understanding and reducing our own anxieties<br />

so that we can show up in a group lowering the fears, tension and<br />

anxieties of the group, including our own families. We develop new skills<br />

in awareness of... and then saying what we truly think, feel and believe<br />

without bullying, raising our voices or otherwise manipulating others or<br />

without being bullied, manipulated or intimidated ourselves. The daily<br />

spiritual workouts help us connect more and more deeply with God and<br />

he prompts and directs us as we grow in this loving way of living.<br />

We usually meet every other week at Carol Monahan or Patty Napp’s<br />

homes. For more information, call or text Carol at 713-305-9809 or<br />

meet up with her at the <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> weekly coffees. Her email is carol.<br />

monahan@me.com. Patty’s contact info is ‭713-775-5278‬. This group<br />

is open to any woman who is a resident of <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong>. It might be a big<br />

jump off of a high cliff to meet up with people you don’t know and to try<br />

a new adventure like this! Smile big and just do it!<br />

your neighbor’s dog keeping you up at all hours of the night and day with<br />

its incessant barking? There is nothing worse, especially when you or<br />

your kids are trying to sleep! Perhaps the dog barking is setting off your<br />

dog and all you can hear all day is a chorus of bad barking? Whatever<br />

the case is - you have rights and there are some steps that you should<br />

take in order to get the barking to stop. You will probably want to avoid<br />

actually confronting the neighbor as this can often end up in a rather<br />

heated debate. You should write or type up a small note mentioning<br />

the dog barking - nine times out of ten, the owner will be at work and<br />

probably doesn’t even realize what is going on. Make it short, to the<br />

point and polite - exactly how you would want someone to talk to you if<br />

your dog was making a crazy racket! If nothing happens or the letter isn’t<br />

in some way acknowledged you can always turn to your local housing<br />

organization or landlord if you are renting. There will normally be noise<br />

stipulations in rental agreements, so it is well worth finding out if your<br />

neighbors are renting and getting in touch with their landlord as well.<br />

You will find that most residential areas have noise control rules set<br />

in place, so don’t be afraid to find out what your rights are. If nothing<br />

happens from your complaint to the owner of the dog and the housing<br />

organization, (or neither of you are renting) it’s time to take a different<br />

approach. This time, grab some information on the noise control in<br />

your area and print them out. Combine this in a neat little package<br />

with another letter, basically saying exactly what the first one did, but<br />

this time mentioning that this is the second time that you have tried to<br />

contact them about the complaint and that you will be taking the matter<br />

further if nothing is resolved. Again, do not be threatening or menacing<br />

in your words or language. If you still don’t get a positive outcome from<br />

your effort, it’s time to call the boys in blue. You will need to remember<br />

that a dog barking situation is not always going to be a priority for your<br />

local law enforcement agency, buy you do still have rights so you should<br />

report the complaint. Make yourself a log of everything that has been<br />

going on -photos or noise clips of the dog barking, times and dates and<br />

also how long the barking goes on for, all copies of the correspondence<br />

you have with the owner/neighbor etc. You will need all the evidence that<br />

you can get your hands on in order to get your problem resolved. Get<br />

yourself a lawyer. There are ways around this problem and if it comes to<br />

resorting to a small claims court in order to allow your kids or yourself to<br />

get a good night’s sleep or a nap, so be it!<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 609<br />

Boy Scout Troop 609 is a specialized for Boys with high functioning<br />

Autism Spectrum Disorders. They meet at the Westview School on the 1 st<br />

and 3 rd Saturday of the month from 9:30-11:30 AM.<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

that allow them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence.<br />

• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />

our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />

units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />

Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />

ST. AIDAN’S SETS SUMMER VBS<br />

Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about Vacation Bible School again<br />

and the folks at St. Aidan’s have another great program planned. Scheduled<br />

for the week of July 8 th -12 th , St. Aidan’s usually hosts about 80 children. This<br />

year’s theme is ROAR: Life is wild. God is Good. We usually have Bahama<br />

Bucks on the last day. That is always a big treat for our students. And, last<br />

year, we hosted Wild Things Zoofari. They brought a wallaby, a toucan, a<br />

lemur and a hedgehog. Everyone really enjoyed that.” Cost of VBS is $30.<br />

Scholarships are available for families in-need. New for this year, we are<br />

adding Triumph Sports so our students will have a full-day option. From<br />

12-4 PM, Triumph will run a Bible-based sports camp. Participants will play<br />

dodgeball, kickball, capture the flag, basketball, soccer and more. Early<br />

registration for this afternoon session is $105 before June 1 st . After June 1 st ,<br />

cost goes up to $115. Registration is already open at aidanschurch.org. For<br />

additional information, please call the church at 281-373-3203.<br />

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice<br />

1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed<br />

3 cups frozen blueberries<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and 3<br />

tablespoons of sugar. Mix in the melted butter. Sprinkle evenly into<br />

the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish and pack down into a<br />

solid crust.<br />

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar until smooth.<br />

Stir in salt and lemon juice. Fold in the whipped topping until well<br />

blended, then fold in the frozen blueberries. Spoon over the crust<br />

in the baking dish and spread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and<br />

refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares and serving.<br />

Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing fast.<br />

Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and productive:<br />

Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals<br />

including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia,<br />

sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced<br />

cuphea.<br />

Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants,<br />

okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil,<br />

peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If<br />

you don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting<br />

here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular<br />

new trend!<br />

Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight<br />

sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long<br />

to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />

Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better<br />

yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />

deter weeds from getting a start.<br />

Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to<br />

promote new blooms.<br />

Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release<br />

organic fertilizer.<br />

Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent<br />

light sprinkling.<br />

Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders!<br />

Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding<br />

spots.<br />
