August 27, 2012 My family and I just returned from a much-needed vacation in Ft. Morgan, Alabama! The coast is so beautiful and relaxing. The food, the people, the shopping and the fishing was awesome!
For the past couple of years I’ve grown accustomed to hearing the school bus stop in front of the house and pick up the kid across the street around 6:55 in the morning for his ride to school. I think that is a little too early for an elementary school kid to catch a bus, but that’s the system, until now. Tyle rISD has announced new bus schedules, which will save money and time while riding the bus.
Today through Sunday, East Texans will be saving the tax on many tax exempt items as they do their back to school shopping. The crowds at the mall and area shopping centers are very reminiscent of black Friday sales right after Thanksgiving. Broadway in Tyler and McCann and the Loop in Longview are expected to be very congested throughout the weekend as traffic increases.
Six feet tall and 300 pounds sounds like a good size to play football. But apparently that’s too big at age 12, and in that case league rules say the boy will have to stay on the sidelines.
Fox Sports Southwest did a story that many media outlets are covering, on the 12-year old boy from Mesquite, near Dallas, who was told after a weigh-in Sunday that he wouldn’t be able to play.
This weekend you could potentially save a lot of money in taxes because this weekend is Texas State Sales Tax Holiday. As you head out thinking you could be saving a lot of money thanks to not paying taxes, you could end up buying quite a few things you wouldn’t normally buy or not even need and exceed your family’s budget.
With the daily ringing of school bells that are about to be the norm across East Texas, you’ve gotta get the kids ready for the new school year. As you prepare them for school, you’re doing that back to school shopping and spending quite a bit of money on those required things they need for school. Well this weekend you can save some money by not paying taxes on some of those things!
It’s no secret that weddings can costs big bucks, but are you prepared for the actual number?
By the time you add up the flowers, the dress, the food at the reception, and that open bar, and maybe booking a cool place like the Woldert-Spence Manor Bed and Breakfast or other quaint and romantic spot, the tally can reach the price of a small SUV.
It’s a big problem here in East Texas and the SPCA of East Texas is doing their best to find homes for a lot of homeless animals here in Smith County and all over East Texas. Coming up Saturday, August 18th there’s a great way you can help out the SPCA of East Texas and have some family fun at the same time.
