📰 In the news
Students step into leadership: FranklinCovey recently filmed Sory Elementary’s Leader in Me journey, selecting Sherman’s campus from over 6,500 schools across 70 countries, while staff report measurable gains in attendance, behavior, and academics — read the full story.
Tradition meets a fresh start: Steven Moss has opened Moss Tire and Repair in Sherman, honoring his grandfather Larry’s legacy in the same building and keeping familiar touches from Moss Tire Center — read the full story.
Pedestrian-friendly upgrades in progress: Houston and Main in downtown Denison has been closed since March 2 for warranty work to stabilize brickwork under the Designing Downtown Denison project, with several weeks of detours expected — get all the project details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Warm bowls, zero fuss: Pho, curry, or something light, Dragon Thai and Vegetarian Cuisine delivers a reliable midweek fix with comforting bowls, bright stir-fries, and a strong vegetarian lineup (plus a sly beef pho cameo). Can’t choose? Go family style, and let the table do the sampling.
Fresh fabric fix: Kaleidoscope Quilt Store stocks fabric by the yard, precuts, kits, patterns, and notions, plus friendly classes that nudge UFOs toward actually done. Consider it a neat excuse to refresh your stash and finish something you’ll be proud to show off this week.
Breakfast that hits right: Eggsquisite Cafe serves cozy breakfasts and laid-back lunches with fluffy pancakes, savory omelets, and specialty coffees. When you want comforting without boring, this neighborhood spot delivers, from first cappuccino sip to that last shared bite.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
