Behold the beauty of Houston’s Bus Lady, Janis Scott, who may singlehandedly boost public transportation with her bountiful enthusiasm for the humble city bus …
Her smile and simply wonderful wisdom are arguably more persuasive than an entire city’s propaganda.
“There’s all types of reasons to ride the bus,” Janis encourages. “Make new friends, learn about things … you want to get people out of their cars and mix, mix, mix. That’s true in any city. Try it, you’ll like it!”

My featured Merit Badge Awardee of the Week is … Sarah Hall!!!
Sarah Hall (Mrssarahhall, #5223) has received a certificate of achievement in Stitching & Crafting for earning a Beginner Level UFOs Merit Badge!
“I cleaned out my craft room closet and gathered all my UFOs into individual bags and gathered supplies to finish each one. I finished a cross-stitched biscornu that I had started some time ago. I will give it to my mom for Mother’s Day.
I am happy I got everything organized and packaged up. I can’t believe how many projects I need to complete though!”
