When a City Girl Goes Country
By Annette Bridges
The old adage “Jack of all trades and master of none” does not apply to my handyman husband. I honestly do not think there is much, if anything at all, my husband can not do or can not learn to do. He may be the epitome of a genuine “Jack of all trades.”
Living in the country many miles from city resources and conveniences has probably contributed to the necessity of becoming good at troubleshooting as problems and needs arise. My man was also raised by a daddy that was convinced there was not anything that could not be learned and mastered, so I think he inherited the can-do gene.
There are advantages to being married to an avid do-it-yourselfer. Mentioning things you need or wish you had is music to his ears. His imagination and ingenuity get to work, making your dreams come true.

If you are hankerin’ for home cooking just like grandma used to make with fresh ingredients, then look no further than Dixie House Cafe with locations in Fort Worth, Saginaw, and Euless. Dixie House, which was originally named Theresa’s Cafe after its owner, opened its first restaurant in 1983.
In the early days, it was just Theresa and one employee that ran the cafe. Between the two of them, they created mouth-watering meals from scratch using tried and true recipes. Dixie House is where the nostalgic vibe of a 60’s diner meets the charm of Southern hospitality and cooking. The portions are substantial, and the flavor is reminiscent of a time when meals were slow-cooked with families gathered in the kitchen and not hurriedly microwaved.

With most of America fighting off the winter blues and setting their sights on the warmth of spring, the rodeo world is already heating up. It is often common chatter about how the rodeo world really does not have an off season. In October when the regular season wraps up, it is not even a week before rodeo athletes start running to fall rodeos so they can start building up money toward the next year’s finals. It is true that fall rodeos do not have big payouts, but many athletes take the every dollar counts approach and throw several of them on the calendar.
November and December may be the slowest months of the rodeo year, but believe it or not, there are still plenty of places rodeo athletes can go and earn a small check. Traditionally the number of rodeos in the winter months is lower, but the few events that do happen tend to have big payouts. Pretty much every rodeo fan knows all about places like Denver, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Rapid City. These are all big scale events with huge payouts.
