Welcome Back to Cypress Digest! Your Weekly Guide to News, Events & Exclusive Deals in Cypress, TX.

A man with no sailing experience, a cat, and โ€œthe spine of somebody whoโ€™s like 115 years oldโ€ just sailed from his home state of Oregon to Hawaii (2,000 miles) in 24 days. And you still canโ€™t find the time for the gym. Mmmk? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Cheers, Ashlyn.

Harris County Public Library (Finally) Promoted its Summer Reading Program

  • I am a huge fan of summer reading programs, its a no pressure way for kids to explore what they actually like to read. But my best tip for readersโ€” donโ€™t keep reading if you donโ€™t like the book. Seriously. Sunk cost fallacy is a thing. You think you have to finish itโ€” you donโ€™t. Move on. I give credit for trying ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  • Crawfish season is closing out friends. (Letโ€™s cry together). But before it says its goodbyes be sure to give BBโ€™s Tex Orleans a try. And Hans just dropped prices again $7.99 per pound or 5 for $35 Dine in or to-go.

  • Since Tuesday I added MORE new camps to our โ€˜2025 Summer Camp Listโ€™. [See them all here]

  • Adopt Pets: This week we are hoping for two babies to find homes. Shadow, a 6-month old lab mix who would make the perfect friend this summer (Iโ€™m told he loves to swim). Also, LuLu needs a loving foster home. She is also a beautiful 6 month old sweetheart who loves kids and other dogs.

  • House of the Week: The Ceiling. The Bathroom. The Backyard. Wow. And the price just droppedโ€ฆ.[See the listing]

Together With

Every home deserves a personalized touch and there is no one better than O& E Pools and Construction. They are premium skilled craftsman who will have you drooling over their design and pool build outs. (I should know, I seriously stopped mid scroll to watch in pure awe.)

So if youโ€™ve been on the fence about that pool or backyard oasis buildโ€” This is your sign. Theyโ€™ve also teamed up with Lyon Financial for some great financing options. These include low fixed rates, military programs and options for 640+ FICO scores.

Graduation Traffic is the WORST

CFISD graduations are STILL being held for the next two days at the Berry Center. Donโ€™t get me wrong, I am a proud Cypress resident and that includes being happy for all of our graduates. But as for traffic. This is one of my least favorite weeks of the year ๐Ÿ˜‚

Keep in mind, Berry Center rests in the smack middle of an already congested Barker Cypress so if you need to plan an alternate route for after work today or Saturday, nowโ€™s the time. You can read the full schedule of graduation ceremonies here but basically if youโ€™re traveling down Barker Cypress today between 12pm- 8pm (or 9am-5pm on Sat.) โ€” allocate some extra time. (And woos-a your way through it.)
