About Jo Dee Messina

Most albums reflect a season. Jo Dee Messina’s new album, “Bridges”, is 10 years’ worth of seasons rolled up into one. “It’s not about a full transformation,” Messina says. “It’s about what I’ve gone through and how I’ve gotten through it all. But I’m not done living yet. There’s still a lot more to learn.”

The road behind her is littered with accolades: nine number-one hits, 16 Top 40 songs, and awards and nominations from the ACM, CMA, AMA, Billboard, and the Grammys. A true icon, Messina has become a North Star in the music world, carving a path for artists and inspiring the younger generation. See Lainey Wilson’s recent CMA shoutout, Cole Swindell’s ode to “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” plus Sierra Ferrell and Nikki Lane’s cover of “Lesson in Leavin’.” She’s not just a country legend — her influence spreads across multiple generations and genres.

Her hits include “You’re Not in Kansas Anymore,””Bye Bye,” “I’m Alright,” “Stand Beside Me” and “Because You Love Me.”

Creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, juicy mandarin oranges, sweet pineapple, and crunchy cookies come together in the kind of Midwestern classic that somehow lands between side dish and dessert. Every spoonful is cool, creamy, fruity, and packed with crisp cookie pieces that soften just enough without disappearing completely. The citrus keeps the mixture bright, the pudding makes it velvety, and those chocolate-striped cookies turn an ordinary bowl of fruit into the one dish everyone recognizes from church suppers and family reunions. It is playful, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of recipe that makes people smile before they even take the first bite.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

This is the drink everyone asks for at summer cookouts

Regular lemonade is good, but once you add fresh watermelon juice, people start asking for the recipe before they even finish their glass. This drink combines two summer classics, tart lemonade and sweet watermelon juice, into one refreshing pitcher. The watermelon takes the edge off the tartness, so it's sweet without tasting like straight sugar.

Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack, Mollie’s Pack, leaves the park, raising fears for its future

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks. At the time, a winter closure was fast approaching, and the Park County resident wouldn’t be able to retrieve the camera and review the footage for months. When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.

Elvis's Last Show: A Night to Remember

We're diving into a moment that changed music history: Elvis Presley's last concert. On June 1977, Elvis took the stage at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, completely unaware it would be his final performance. He kicked things off with "CC Rider" and dazzled the crowd with classics like "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock." As he closed with "Can't Help Falling in Love," the audience was filled with excitement, not knowing they were witnessing the end of an era. Just six weeks later, he passed away, leaving behind a legacy that still resonates today.
