People sometimes ask which of my outdoor adventures was the most fun. I get the impression they think the life of an outdoor humor columnist is glamour and glitz pretty much all the time, but that’s not the case. Sometimes it’s glitz and glamour, and sometimes it’s just glamour with no glitz.
One of my ranch neighbors grew up in Mason and spent most of his summers working and playing on his family’s ranch. He left Mason County for his career, but returned in recent years and now manages that ranch.

I’m LOVING the warmer weather, even if it is only every other day. The warmer weather also puts me into the “grilling” mood.
These can be done in the oven or on the grill. This is my absolute favorite recipe, now. My husband couldn’t get enough of these. He’s kind of hard to please, too, when it comes to food.
"Hey, Jesus, wake up! There is a storm going on. We're right in the middle of it — and we are scared to death! Wake up, Jesus! Wake up and help us!"

Their efforts are successful.
