Editor’s Letter
October I want to introduce you to the newest addition to our family and our first grandchild, Rhyter Barnes Thornton. It was love at first sight. There’s something pretty special about seeing your son become a Daddy. The piles of pumpkins are our sign that it’s officially Fall, and the cooler temperatures should be here soon. Have you seen the beautiful decorations all over 78209? They’re everywhere! I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Vanessa Cantu a few weeks ago. She and her Bullying Empowerment Center are the focus of our Business Profile this month. The things that she is doing to help adolescents and adults dealing with bullying, depression and anxiety are truly making a difference in the way they deal with adversity. She opened the center so that she could help people learn to face their challenges rather than running from them. Most of you are probably familiar with the name Frost in 78209. If not, I want you to Meet Your Neighbors, Pat and Kelley Frost. They have deep roots in our city and have given back to the community in so many ways and have instilled the same values in their own children. In this month’s ’09 Eats, you’ll read about Hearthstone Bakery & Cafe and it will make your mouth water. Providing delicious soups, salads and sandwiches, they have something to suit everyone’s palate. My personal favorite is their Cranberry Balsamic Chicken Salad. If you are planning an event, you’ll definitely want to check out their catering menu. I hope you can enjoy some yummy soup or some pumpkin bread that will let you know it’s really fall. Until next month,
SUSAN THORNTON Editor
Editor’s Note: There was an error in the September issue. Nancy Cook-Monroe was the author of the Business Profile on Kuper Sotheby’s, not Christine Cuthbert. We regret the error.
