Publisher's Letter

My youngest son, George, has entered a new era—his first season of tackle football. He has been waiting for this moment for what feels like forever, and to be honest, my husband Fred and I are just as excited. Until now, Fred has been the go-to coach for all the boys’ activities, which meant our lives were packed with two weeknight practices after long days at work and games every Saturday. We were all in, and I loved that season of life, but let’s be honest, it was exhausting.

In this vibrant family home, every color, fabric, and finish tells a story of craftsmanship and creativity. Originally, the house was full of potential but lacked a well-thought-out layout and efficient use of space.

With its eye-catching stone facade and sleek, simple lines, it’s clear why the current owners were instantly captivated by this beautiful property. It took years of patient searching for them to find the ideal place to raise their family. “We had been working with Amy Warren for about ten years trying to find the perfect house. Every time I asked her to show us a house, I know she probably thought, ‘Oh, it’s her again,’ but one day, we were on vacation, and she sent these pictures. I thought, ‘This is not Texarkana. There’s no way.

If These Tables Could Talk

Talk Tuesday in Print … Sure, there have been some good meals shared, but when the food is all cleared away, it’s the conversation around these tables that has been invaluable. From childhood to my teenage years and now, raising my own family, the table still stands as the focal point in my home and my heart. Memories have been made, lessons have been learned, and family has come together—all around the table. … I grew up next door to my grandparents. It is a blessing that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

You know the type. The real surprise, however, comes when you realize you might be that neighbor. I adore my neighborhood and its people, but I am not sure they feel the same way about us. … Just last week, during her morning walk, one of my neighbors sent me a text:

Dear Mrs. Slightly Sophisticated, … I love watching my son play football, but some parents around me yell at the referees like they are auditioning for a reality show.

Pleasant Grove's New Facility Focus on Relationships, Growth, Discipline, and Belief … Pleasant Grove has had a lot to be proud of under the direction of head coach Josh Gibson, and many would say that the new athletic facility may just be the biggest achievement yet. It’s state-of-the-art in every way, but to Coach Gibson, the most important part is how the facility can serve the kids. “Probably one of the most important pieces is right when we walk in the door. In the foundation, there is a Bible that was placed here when they were pouring the slab.
