As many of you know Andy and Sandy Pedrazas, owner of Ruby's Emporium, recently lost their older son, Lee. It has been an understandably difficult time for the family and, as a result, Ruby's Emporium has remained closed. But we just received word from Melodie Grieder that she will be standing in for Sandy until such time as she feels able to come back to work. Melodie has asked us to let everyone know that Ruby's is reopening this Friday, but that the hours will be reduced. Ruby's Emporium is located at 222 W Hwy 290. Phone (512) 858-4220 or call Melodie directly at (512) 940-4502. If the shop is not open, she is happy to make an appointment to meet you there.
