Monday marked the 100th day of classes for Bullard ISD.

I was invited this week to speak to Bullard Kiwanis Club, to speak about myself. What an honor. More thanks to this community for accepting me.

+++

So last week I talked about some of the characters one can find in just about any city, then Bullard produced for me yet another. Mary Dautreuil, assistant to Police Chief Gary Don Lewis. Mary has a pet Black Widow Spider in her office. It was out with the old and in with the new on Friday when maintenance workers found a huge - and possibly pregnant - spider. Mary said the spiders just fascinate her.

February is National Love Your Library Month. Instead of Valentine's Day cards, Bullard Community Library asks that patrons show their love of the library through donations of supplies, such as paper, tape and post-its.
