Description

To me there's nothing better than sitting out on the porch of Southeastern Oklahoma looking out at the deep red dirt that goes on for miles. A beautiful sunset, and then me, just sipping on a glass of iced tea (or whiskey) with loved ones, and seeing who can get who to crack up first. I don't know what heaven's going to look like, but if I get any say in the matter, I'd tell the Big Boy Upstairs that's all I want. Just me, people I love, and those acres of red dirt. Throw in some beans and cornbread, and I'm all set.

All in all, I think the secret to a nice life isn't that complicated. Most of us probably already know it in our bones, and that's what I want to get back to. Simple fun, hard work, good food, and laughing with those you love.

That's what I'm sharing on these pagessome simple, not-that-fancy truths I live by, and a bunch of good stories, photos, and recipes that go along with them. So if you're looking to slow down, get back to basics, and have a heckuva lot of fun, then my friend, I think we're going to have a good time together. So come on in, kick off your boots (or leave them on, I don't care), and learn how to bring a little bit of my ranch-inspired life into your own.

Reviews

As you'll see in this book, Reba is nothing fancy when it comes to being friends. She's not only the girl next door. She is also what the girl next door dreams of being. You can never forget she's a superstar, but it won't be Reba who reminds you. I don't know how she does it, but the great ones always do. * Garth Brooks *
