THE POEM READS: “Across the years I will walk with you–in deep, green forests; on shores of sand:and when our time on earth is through,in heaven, too, you will have my hand.” Dear Reader, The drawing you see above is called The Promise. It is completely composed of dots of ink. After writing the poem, I worked with a quill pen and placed thousands of these dots, one at a time, to create this gift. Now, I have decided to offer The Promise to those who share and value its sentiment. Each litho is numbered and signed by hand and precisely captures the detail of the drawing. As a wedding, anniversary or Valentine’s gift or simply as a standard for your own home, I believe you will find it most appropriate. Measuring 14” by 16”,…

ALLIE JONES, ASSOCIATE EDITOR In the spring and summer, the floral patterns, light fabrics, and bright colors always match and create a nice balance. When I think classic Western fashion, my mind immediately goes to the tried-and-true outfit combinations of a light summer dress and cowboy boots or simply your favorite jeans, boots, and a cute top. Can’t go wrong. AMY MOORHOUSE, STYLIST The “less is more” school of thought has been replaced with “more is more” in anticipation of 2022 and the return of nights out, summer rodeos, vacations, and time spent with loved ones. Hues of Kelly green, vibrant yellows, intense fuchsias, and tantalizing lime are leading the color pack, but you can’t go wrong with any of the bright candy jewel tones this summer. For the ladies, we are still…

CELEBRATING A COUNTRY QUEEN: Loretta Lynn’s legendary career is perfectly encapsulated by the song that’s almost synonymous with her name, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” In its unforgettable verses, Lynn belts her backstory and reveals her lasting source of joy and inspiration. It’s a plainspoken lyrical poem about a little girl who grew up with love — and not much else. Yet there are many more Loretta Lynn songs that pull off the same bit of lump-inthroat magic. Her musical gifts are immense, as are the doors she has opened for other authentic country artists. That’s why we felt it only fitting on the occasion of Lynn’s 90th birthday on April 14 to give her a standing ovation in words, and to invite some more of our favorite country singers to do…

Behind the Scenes of City Slickers Your story [“City Slickers at 30”] reminded me of the special time I had on the Durango, Colorado, location of the production, watching the scene when Billy [Crystal] rescued Norman from the raging river. Filming the sequence took a long time, and the river water was icy cold. It was so cold that the American Humane Association representative limited the amount of time that the calf (Norman) could be in the water, and the wranglers had to round up a number of calves to play Norman. They could only be in the water for a few minutes, but Billy, who had a wet suit under his wardrobe, remained in the water as the calves were frequently replaced. After an extended period of time, Billy was…
