Invisible Threads

Some love stories only make sense in hindsight. The invisible threads were always there, quietly connecting two people across years and miles, until one weekend everything suddenly aligned. For Hunter Harris and Mary-Stewart Shores, that moment came at a wedding in March 2021. … Hunter’s cousin was getting married, and over that weekend, Hunter and Mary-Stewart spent nearly all of their time together. A week later, they went on their first official date. He was living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and she was in New Orleans, only about an hour apart.

Ridge Retreat

Photos by Matt Cornelius
Set along a quiet stretch of countryside in De Kalb, Texas, this modern ranch was designed as a second home, a place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. The kind of quiet you can’t find in everyday life. From the beginning, the vision was simple: create a comfortable ranch retreat with elevated touches, where natural materials and open views set the tone. … Inside, warm whites and soft earth tones keep the palette easy and inviting, layered with natural wood accents and black finishes for contrast.

Summer has arrived, and with it, the words every parent and teenager has been waiting for, “School is out.” We limped through that final month like everyone else, counting down days, surviving the sprint of the end-of-year everything, and watching my kids run completely out of steam somewhere around the second week of May. They were done. I was done. The golf course was calling their names, and honestly, a new routine was calling mine. … And what better way to kick off summer than to do something you will absolutely love (and occasionally regret)? We bought a boat.
