The adage, 'Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan' is an applicable turn of phrase in many instances, and it seems to ring true when trying to pin down the origins of ice cream.
Guide David Hanson with one of many blue catfish he and Luke landed last week at Tawakoni, fishing the mouth of creeks.

How do you forgive? I know and have heard you say that when we hold on to things it only hurts ourselves, but there are a few things that I just can’t let go of. Do you have a process or something that might help me?
“God made guys for a reason we don’t know, but I know they’re good for something,” says Allison, 12.
Seniors Why it pays for seniors to maintain good credit
I have always wanted to be a songwriter. I have written a few songs but never let anyone see any of them. I was always told that I wouldn’t amount to anything. I am afraid to step out and prove them right. Should I try?
The Brits have their summer solstice pilgrimage from Glastonbury to Stonehenge. Spain has their legendary trek to Santiago de Compostela. India has the Hindu journey between Yamunotri and Badrinath. Here in Forney, the Moons have a special pilgrimage, as well. It may not be thousands of years old, and the sum total of participants is only 2, but we take our quest very seriously. We go where we go for a single purpose. It’s all about the barbeque. This time, it took us to Austin.
Explain the Proverb, “Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.”
How do you meet new people? I have recently moved to Texas. I have found the people to be very welcoming, but I am not sure how to take the smiles that I have received and welcoming words and transform them into friendships. Any advice would be appreciated.
I love to read. I have started many books on many different topics. Do you have a process for finishing one book before you start another, or do you think it’s ok to read many books at a time?
I promise, this isn’t going to become one of those columns about organization techniques. We talked about that last week, huh? Granted, if you want titillating content about how not to organize or how to take that fine line between collector and hoarder and use it as a jump rope, you are in the right place, my friend. That reminds me of an acquaintance I made during Antiques Week in Warrenton, Texas back when it was feral and untamed. There was a Warrenton, after all, back before sororities started showing up in luxury SUVs to compete with Pottery Barn for lodging at a Rusty-chic Airbnb for a bajillion dollars a night. A triedand-true junker knows that the realest of the real dealers sleep in crusty old RVs or the back seats of their ’89 Ford trucks. The junk was divine. My acquaintance’s name was even better, Dead People’s Stuff. That’s what my guestroom closet should be called, mainly because that’s what it’s made from. Welcome to the museum. I’m Dina, your curator. Take your shoes off. Sit a spell.
Data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates there were roughly 37 million providers of unpaid eldercare across the United States in 2021-22. The majority (59 percent) of eldercare providers are women, and individuals between the ages of 45 and 64 are the most likely to provide care. Unpaid caregiving also is significant in Canada, where the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence reports Canadians devote 5.7 billion unpaid hours each year to caregiving. In the U.S., data from the BLS indicates that nearly half of all eldercare providers provide care every day (24.3 percent) or several times per week (24 percent). Full-time workers who provide eldercare in addition to their responsibilities at work provided an average of 2.65 hours per day of care in 2021-22.
