TEMPLE – When we first moved to the Fort Hood area two years ago, we were looking for a “forever” home. After 20+ years in the Army, my husband is ready to retire and we found the perfect home in west Temple. Anyone who has purchased a house knows to also take the surrounding areas into cons…

Palmer Theater is temporarily closed and all currently scheduled films are cancelled until further notice.
Apple TV’s “Defending Jacob” was a complete grand slam. Each actor does a perfect job portraying their characters, and it allows the viewer to come up with their own opinion.
A while back, my friend, Zane Varney, convinced me to sit down and finally participate as a player in the table top game, “Dungeons and Dragons.” From there, I created a dwarven druid, Dagnabbit Morbooze, that soon became a staple in other games I picked up. I’ve spoken in the past about how…
“Hanna” immediately stuck out to me as I navigated all that Amazon Prime has to offer. I remember seeing advertisements for it that made me believe that it was a story about a young girl who was raised to be tough and resourceful during her fight for survival.
Of all the low tier characters that ever existed, Dan Hibiki from the “Street Fighter” series remains one of the top contenders for “worst” character ever. Originally developed as a parody, a joke character, Dan has gained an avid following despite his inability to trade blows with other com…
Ages ago, while visiting my dad’s collection of books, I picked up James Clavell’s samurai epic “Shōgun.” Despite the insanely long length, I did finish the book and sustained interest in samurai-inspired stories set in feudal Japan. Sure, I’ve scoffed at many Hollywood interpretations, “47 …
Ages ago, my brother and I invested much of our time into “Halo” games. Multiplayer reigned supreme — from pistol-only skirmishes in the first game, to the eventual energy sword vs hammer melee saga in later games — "Halo" remained the go-to first-person shooter of choice.
KILLEEN — The COVID-19 pandemic put almost a complete stop to fun, indoor activities, but places to take the family are starting to open up again. The Mayborn Science Theater and Planetarium on the campus of Central Texas College is one of those close by places that is really cool and a must…
TEMPLE — It’s not very often that I go to a place or experience an event that I immediately think to myself, “This needs to become a new family tradition. We need to come here every year.” But that is what happened this week when I visited The Robinson Family Farm.
BELTON — For the past few months, every other week, I have been spotlighting a Texas State Park that is within an hour’s drive of Fort Hood. While I have had a blast exploring these, and they are all worth visiting, there are some closer options that I have ignored until now. This week, I re…
WACO — This week, I once again headed up the interstate to the city of Waco to check out the Cameron Park Zoo. I’ve spent more time this year in Waco exploring the city, and I must say, I have not been disappointed. It’s a cool city with its own personality. I would normally be exploring Aus…
WACO — When deciding where to go for this Traveling Soldier feature, I always try to keep in mind the military family, and now the travel restrictions that Soldiers have here at Fort Hood. My five-year-old grandson just recently watched the movie “Ice Age,” and I happened upon an announcemen…
BURNET — When I was first stationed at Fort Hood, the flora and fauna threw me off. Part of that was the fact that I got here on a cold day in February and everything was dormant and brown. It was so different from where I grew up in the Ozarks and my then previous duty station of Fort Meade…
