Houston Premium Outlet Now Open

 

This was the line outside of the Coach factory Outlet store.  I was there from 9:00am to 3:30pm and the line only got longer though out the day.  Nike which is located right next door was very busy with lots of great sales. 

 

Tips for before you go:

Make sure that you go online to the website www.premiumoutlets.com and sign up for the VIP membership which is free. You can then print out a list of coupons and a coupon for a VIP coupon book when you get there. You will want to go the the information booth when you get to the mall to sign up for all the give a ways and to claim your coupon book. The information desk is inside the food court.

The lay out of the mall is nice because it goes in one big loop and cuts across in the middle. You still may want to wear comfortable walking shoes.

Beware when you go to the crocs store they don't have prices on anything you have to ask.  The prices are good though most of the crocs are $19 some are less some are more.

Jack Jones Benefit

Jack Jones Benefit Fund

 Jack Jones is 5 years old and was diagnosed in March of 2007 with Wilms Tumor Stage 2. It is a childhood cancer that affects the kidneys. His left kidney had a 5 pound tumor which was removed March 5th. He did 18 weeks of chemotherapy, which ended July 17th. In August 2007 he relapsed after being off treatment for 3 weeks. THE BEAST WAS BACK!!! The doctors found several nodules in his lungs. We were very shocked seeing that with the original diagnosis, there was only a 5% chance of relapse. He is now in the last week of his 24 weeklong chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Presently any sign of disease is negative and we are praying that the beast stays away…this time for good!!!

In honor of Jacks strength and journey, we are having a benefit for him. We will be raising money to help with medical expenses and celebrating his end of treatment. As you can imagine, the family has incurred an absurd amount of medical bills and we are trying to help provide a relief for that. It’s hard to believe that all this has happened in less than a year!!! Please support this precious family in whatever way that you can. His mother has been a rock in this roller coaster ride. She is a single hard-working mother of two who, with the support of family and friends, has maintained a fulltime job even when it is from Jack’s side in the hospital. I think it’s time that the community rally around her to give her a little relief. 

Most importantly, please keep Jack and all the innocent children who are battling cancer in your prayers. I truly believe that without the support and prayer that Jack has received so far, he would not be where he is now. The power of prayer is amazing!!! 

Thank you for your support and May God Bless you and your family!!!

Please contact us and let us know how you would like to help with the benefit ~ we really appreciate your support!!!!!!!!!!

Spot Light on a Local Author

 

Ruth was born in Pinebluff, Arkansas, the youngest of seven.  Her father was a minister and their family moved throughout the south as he took the pastorate and started new churches. Ruth's father was sixty-four years old when she was born so she was the apple of his eye and always encouraged that anything  she wanted to do was possible.   

Ruth marched for civil rights, freedom from hunger and has always had a strong sense that
everyone should receive an equal opportunity to pursue their dreams.   She attended
college at seventeen, graduated and married young, beginning her love of reading, writing
and art at an early age.   Ruth has been a writer and storyteller all of her life.  Before she
began writing, she would sit with her friends or lie on the beach and create stories to
entertain them.

Her son, Gary, was born in Michigan and has been one of the proudest moments of her life
second only to the birth of her grandsons, Cameron and Chance.

Her most recently published book is chessmen  which can be purchased at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com.
 

 

She will set up a meeting with the My Cypress Directory Book Club to discuss her book and sign there copies.  Check the Book Club forum for more details
