Experience Independence Day in Granbury - The Celebration Capital of Texas! 🎆

🇺🇸Are you as excited about the Granbury Fourth of July as we are? We were so excited to capture the trucks, horses, boats, floats and amazing displays of creativity featured during last year’s parade. 🇺🇸

🥳 We are proud of live in and encourage others to visit the Celebration Capital of Texas because there is always a celebration, festival, or special event held in Granbury. Granbury is in Central Texas and it 35 minutes from Interstate 20 and around 45 minutes form Interstate 30.

🚎 We love the trolley and it is an incredible way to travel from place to place in Granbury. 

🏨The hotels are top notch and the staff members are always open to a conversation about their love for the city! In fact, we were eating breakfast in the Hilton Garden Inn and a guest asked me was I vistiting. I replied that I was not, but I love living in the city of Granbury! 

🌟The grandson of the Granbury Hilton Garden Inn’s manager overhead us and chimed in too! He said, “I LOVE Granbury!”

We hope you feel the same way when visiting our town. Visit our small town during Independence Day week and stay awhile! You might like it enough to stick around for a few years… We did!

Here’s the usual schedule for Independence Day!

9am - The parade!

The two-mile long parade begins at Granbury High School and stretches around town. There is not a bad place to view the parade along the route. We were actuallly located by the downtown car wash last year and it was a great location!

After the Parade - There are many opportunities to hear music and see local demonstrations of karate and dance!

Let Your Accomplishments EmPOWER You - Purchase the Best Graduation Gift Ever!

As a college professor, I always become sad around graduation time. This dreaded time occurs three times at year at my university and I loathe each ceremony. It is difficult for me to realize that most of these students are graduating and they are moving back to mom or dad's house. It is difficult for me to realize that many of them graduate without a first (post-graduation) job in sight. It is difficult for me to realize that this is the last time that many of them will step foot in our classrooms, our residence halls, and in our lives.

As a college professor, I am challenged each semester to positively touch the lives of the students who take my classes, travel with me on study abroad trips, and encourage me to research topics that will impact the community.

So, yes. I hate to see students leave, but I love to see them leave with a degree in hand. Gifts like the USB Leather Tassel Key Chain Charger Cable with Lightning Cable & Micro USB Cable can be a constant reminder of their experience at the institution. Not only does this tassel key chain remind them of the past four years that they dedicated to their studies, but it reminds them of the piece of paper that cannot be taken away from them no matter how many heartbreaks, job separations, financial situations, or career transitions.

Consider adding this simple, yet technical gift to your college graduate's graduation package. It is one of the least expensive gifts that will make the MOST impact for years to come. Sometime so simple can result in the biggest reward. Reward your graduates by providing them with graduation power for the graduation time period and for years to come!

Save Money for Easter and Halloween By Ordering a Personalized Fabric Easter Basket from Pottery Barn!

Guess what? It is time to plan for the Easter holiday! Easter, you ask? Yes, now you have enough time to order a customized basket for your little one! We've had a customized Easter basket for four years! Yes, the SAME ONE!

When I purchased an Easter basket for $30 a few years ago, I knew that it was going to be an investment! Each Easter and Halloween my little southern princess utilizes that SAME owl basket with her name beautifully embroidered on the side!

This is a money-saving move for your family that is also green and sustainable! Buy one basket and utilize it two times a year! So far, this means that we've spent $3.75 each holiday for our beloved basket. Just think, the number keeps shrinking and shrinking! :)

So, this year - order a "Fabric Easter Bucket" from Pottery Barn. Then, personalize it and utilize it for YEARS to come! Here's link to the buckets on the Pottery Barn website (not sponsored)!

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!
