Our 2026 Idea House Celebrates Everything We Love About Texas Hill Country Living
This year, we tapped three Lone Star State interior designers to infuse our contemporary farmhouse with a spirit of welcome
By Betsy Cribb Watson – Published on September 16, 2026
Spend a little time in the Texas Hill Country, and you’ll discover it’s got a feeling all its own—an identity forged as much by rolling pastures and roadside dance halls as it is by lush vineyards and boutique hotels.
Good mornin’, Lucille! This is just up the road from us. They’re also a couple minutes from Luckenbach, TX with Willie, Waylon and the boys. The tours start today. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.
Infinitely versatile, easy on cleanup, and friendly for the whole family, the combination of budget-friendly chicken and hearty pasta can (and should) be served with reckless abandon. Read on for delicious ways to prepare chicken and pasta.
Good mornin’, and happy Friday! We’ve made it to the end of another week, and after days of abuse from the media, who still don’t like us, we need something to lift our spirits. I found this moka pot from just a couple years ago (they say the 80’s) that is really shiny. It makes me feel good. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.
Mornin’ All. Coolish, 51* and sunny out so far. Love this weather.
My son has a new job and will be traveling more. I am glad for the new job, but concerned about the travel with things with the airlines like they are. There is so much craziness going on. Don’t see too much here, but it is a low population area.
A federal court has ruled that the Air Force inappropriately diverted thousands of service members from the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES), which is a congressionally mandated process for evaluating disabilities.
The federal judge who has become the face of opposition to President Donald Trump has long-running ties to an exchange program with the United States’ most powerful global rival.
Judge James Boasberg, chief justice for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has been a thorn in the Trump administration’s side since the president returned to the White House in 2025.
But years before that, he was playing host to an organization with ties to the Chinese Communist Party even while serving on a court privy to some of the United States’ most sensitive information, according to documents publicized by a conservative journalist Thursday.
Natalie Winters is an investigative journalist and executive editor of “War Room,” the podcast hosted by Steve Bannon, who served briefly as chief strategist in Trump’s first-term White House.
