Many people have ended up in situations similar to this and there is no need to make an issue of this one person (Lisanne Anderson).

Summer Camp
Depending on your own personal experience, the words summer camp bring back a flood of youthful memories. For most what is remembered is swimming in cool lakes, sitting around warm campfires, walking nature trails and making lifelong friends.
Chapman Park
Grayson County’s Shangri-La, a special place to escape the terrible heat of a Texas summer, may have been—at least for the privileged—a private paradise known as Chapman Park.
Luella
With court approval, Luella held its first election on April 11, 1978, and by a vote of eighty-nine to ten, Luella became a city. The next big vote was to dissolve the town.
Rancho Sereno
Located on FM 678, between Whitesboro and Callisburg, Rancho Sereno: The Inn at Sandy Creek sits quietly along a winding road behind tall trees. Behind the eight foot Austin stone walls and gated entry, Mike and Lisa Mayberry have developed a spectacular place for rest and relaxation.
Sausage Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers
As commonplace as a toothpick at your local barbecue joint, the stuffed jalapeno pepper quickly is becoming the side dish of choice among Texas barbecue fans.
It’s a Matter of Taste
In the lands discovered by Lemuel Gulliver, the Lilliputians and the Blefuscudians went to war over which end of a soft-boiled egg to crack at breakfast time. Americans haven’t reached that level of passion over food quite yet, but standoffs over barbecue or barbeque or bar-b-q—even the spelling is in question—can produce disputes that fall just short of blows.
Perk’s BBQ
Not so long ago, if you had just finished off a bag of Barbara’s Burgers in Bells on a warm summer day, you might have topped things off with a snow cone from Melissa Perkins’ stand across the road. Her snow-cone stand, called Perk’s, became a landmark of its own in the small town.
