The Flavor of Home
In a cookbook based on her family’s most-treasured dishes, Terry Jones imparts time-honored recipes for everyone to try
Creative endeavors have always been a pinnacle of Terry Jones’s life. A passion for singing that began in second grade ultimately led her to a 31-year career with popular contemporary Christian group Point of Grace. Since that time, she has organized a children’s choir, tried her hand at oil painting, and started a custom cookie making business (known as Mix ’Em Up Cookies) that is still going strong. However, her greatest undertaking has been raising her three children, Cole, Luke, and Mallory, with her husband, Chris. “I ‘got by’ with food when I was touring with Point of Grace,” Terry says. “As our kids started to grow, I realized I needed to fuel them well,” she says. Going back to her creative roots, she began to make healthful, delicious meals that could feed the family. “It had to be beautiful, and I had to enjoy making it,” she says. “At this stage of life, we are launching them into the world, and we are truly empty nesters,” Terry says.

For landscape designer Daniel Keeley, the feeling that this project was a progression of previous work was twofold: First, he’s designed almost half a dozen properties with these clients, making them dear friends at this point. Second, he also worked on this house, located in one of Fayetteville’s historic districts, with its former owners. “We did a big exterior project with the previous clients that established the pavilion and the pool,” he says. “When these clients moved in, they wanted to make it their own.”

The northwest corner of The Natural State is a bastion of creativity and culture
Fayetteville’s Brian Crowne has a certain film to thank for launching his lifelong pursuit of music: The Blues Brothers. “I saw that movie and fell in love with the blues, R&B, and soul music. It just resonated with me,” he says. He borrowed a saxophone from a friend, taught himself how to play, and eventually joined the jazz program at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith before forming a band of his own and working as a touring musician for more than two decades.

Discover Hot Springs
Storied structures, healing waters, and a natural setting continue to make Spa City one of the state’s top destinations
Opened to the public on New Years Eve in 1924, The Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa has been an icon of downtown Hot Springs for just over a century. In celebration of the centennial, the historic structure recently underwent a thoughtful restoration and renovation. Alan Sims, general manager of The Arlington since 2017, describes work on the building’s exterior as particularly extensive. “We chipped away seven layers of stucco and uncovered some incredibly detailed craftsmanship at the top of the hotel that we’ve highlighted now,” he says. Inside, plumbing and electrical updates behind the walls ensure modern-day comfort for guests while the historical charm of architectural molding alongside antique mirrors and chandeliers remains. We spoke with Alan about The Arlington’s 100th anniversary, his favorite bits of Hot Springs history, and what makes Spa City so special.

In Little Rock, landscape designer Chris H. Olsen accents a natural outdoor area with the season’s best and brightest
“The fuller, the better.” That’s the philosophy landscape and outdoor living expert Chris H. Olsen takes when designing flower beds and container plantings.
