Our little corner of the world is re-opening for business! We know for a fact that our readers have mixed feelings about this; some think it's too soon, and others say "not soon enough!" Regardless, we thought you should know that as of Friday, May 8, hair and nail salons in Texas can re-open, following appropriate social distancing and other indicated guidelines. This means that if you're almost out of patience trying to hide those roots, the end is in sight!
Also, if you're feeling a little "fluffier" after being cooped up at home for a couple of months, you might be pleased to know that gyms and exercise facilities may reopen on May 18. Additionally, office-based business operations may begin again on May 18, so be sure to communicate with your employer to find out how this affects you and your job. And just in case you didn't get our earlier memo, The Woodlands Mall and other retailers are now open for in-person shopping, and many stores are having great sales!

Our favorite news? The Riva Row Boat House will open Wednesday, May 6, 2020 with rentals of kayaks and swan boats. We love the boat house, and being on the water is a great activity with social distancing built in. Special safety precautions have been put in place and will be available. To make a rental reservation, call 281-210-3965.
