Visiting Wimberley

June 12, 2015

Greg and I had a great time last Saturday visiting Wimberley. We were there to support the local economy and spread the word that while this town and its residents sustained heavy damage from the recent flood, Wimberley has bounced back and is open for business. We stopped in many of the shops on the square and shopped - Greg bought me a pair of earrings, and we purchased a gift for friends from out of state. Greg also purchased two rocks with "Hope" and "Faith" carved in them, and placed them in a nearby garden. And we enjoyed a delicious lunch!

We had the opportunity to meet many locals who exhibited such strength and pride in their town, and I was so glad to have met Texans from all across our state who were visiting Wimberley to shop and support the community, as well as several Red Cross volunteers who were there to help with the ongoing recovery. While there is still work to be done, there is no doubt that this community is #WimberleyStrong. Governor Abbott and I continue to pray for all of those affected by the severe weather in Wimberley and all across Texas.
