The song elicited an immediate reaction from fans and was spontaneously added to Country radio stations across the country, rising to the top of the charts as well as garnering 94.6 MILLION streams globally. “Mamaw’s House” appears on Thomas Rhett’s just released retrospective 20 NUMBER ONES collection, crafted to honor earning 20 No. 1 hits in just 10 years. The 20-track project serves as a reflection of Rhett’s chart-topping success throughout his musical journey. The mid-tempo tune begins with Wallen telling a group of friends “sorry, my Mamaw called me, I’ll be right back” before leaving the room to talk to his late grandma.

Both Rhett and Wallen have deep love and respect for their own grandmothers, which is why they decided to write “Mamaw’s House” together. Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen just dropped their surprise collaboration, “Mamaw’s House,” together. The song, which they both wrote, appears on Rhett’s 20 Number Ones album, which was just released. On average, Thomas Rhett has scored a Number One song on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart every six months for the past decade, explaining the title of his recent 20 Number Ones compilation. He repeated the trick again earlier this year with “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings),” bringing his total up to 21, and hopes to repeat it with a new single, “Mamaw’s House,” which finds him duetting with country lightning rod (and stadium headliner) Morgan Wallen.

More From Taste of Country

Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen have the No. 1 song at Country Radio with “Mamaw’s House.” The country superstars claimed the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay with their duet, marking Rhett’s 22nd No. 1 at Country radio, while it serves as Wallen’s 12th (14 counting Hot Country Songs). During the tracking week ending March 30, 2024, the song reached a new peak of #55 on the Hot 100.

Mamaw’s House

"Handle With Care" started as a George Harrison song with guest appearances by Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, but it went so well the five of them decided to form a group - The Traveling Wilburys - and record an entire album. I know I can manage college, it'd be a lot easier with any sort of familial support or especially the money from Mamaw, but I'll be able to swing it regardless, but they dodged the issue when I asked for the last few months then drop this bombshell less than a month before graduation. 10 years after signing his record deal with Big Machine Label Group's The Valory Music Co., arena-packing superstar Thomas Rhett has 22 No. 1 singles, 15 BILLION streams and the longest current active streak of consecutive No. 1s in the format (Mediabase/Country Aircheck Chart). Rhett and Wallen penned the track alongside Chase McGill and Matt Dragstrem, and the midtempo tune finds both singers reflecting on the safe haven they’ve found in their grandmothers' homes.

If it goes to a lien, which most of Reddit seems to think isn't a possibility, it isn't about me getting money because I won't, it's about keeping my parents from being able to do stupid things that will cause them to lose the house. His most recent sixth studio album, Where We Started "practically demands an open field, tens-of-thousands-strong throng of fans in front of it" (Esquire). ‘Mamaw’s House’ is a song written and recorded by country music star Thomas Rhett. The song consists of featured vocals with fellow country singer Morgan Wallen.

They were really proud when Kyle had any sort of band performance or a school play or Kelsey was in an art show, but my science and math stuff they didn't care about. Kyle is sort of laid back and he left for college when I was 11 so I don't really remember living with him, and Kelsey is definitely the star of the family, and then their is me. People are sometimes surprised to find out my parents have a second daughter/third child. It is my Dad's family helping, not Mom's, but all my grandparents were really close friends, they used to say they "had to be friends, no one else would understand dealing with (my parents)", so I trust them to know what Mamaw would have wanted. Grandma says that she believes Mamaw left Aunt Teresa in charge because she didn't want to put anymore stress on the relationship between my parents and dad's family, and that it might have been better if they had just taken that risk.

It sounds like you have good kids, I hope they are a lot kinder and more compassionate than you are, or than you seem to be from your comment. So I talked to my brother today, he's the only one of us who was an adult when Mamaw died, and has a copy of the will, though he didn't have it in front of him when we spoke. He says there was 300,000 from a life insurance policy from when our PopPop died, that was supposed to be used for all of us and then the remainder distributed when we graduated or turned 25, and he's mad because his college didn't cost 100K and so they stole from him too. This nod comes as a continuation of the hitmaker's impressive record, as “on average, Thomas Rhett has scored a No. 1 song on Billboard's Country Airplay Chart every six months for the past decade” (Rolling Stone). In addition to his ever-growing list of No. 1s as an artist, Thomas Rhett has also made a name for himself as a songwriter, most recently penning Cole Swindell's No. 1 “She Had Me at Heads Carolina."

Yeah, but that's pretty typical for them If it was for art lessons or supplies, my parents found the way, even if they had to ask my grandparents for grocery money after, but never paid for any of my academic stuff. Grandma says that they both feel like they would have "made it" in their art fields if they'd had more support from their parents, but my Grandpa told Dad he had to have a practical degree or he wasn't paying, and apparently my PopPop told my Mom the same, so neither one finished college. Dad is a musician and does carpentry for like, community theater and when shows or movies are made locally, and mom is a wedding photographer and makes pottery.

Wallen then launched into the first verse and chorus of the heartfelt track, before Rhett takes on the second verse and chorus. Coming off the release of his new album Strong multi-PLATINUM country hitmaker Tyler Hubbard has announced the first leg of his headlining Strong World Tour, which includes stops in Houston, Boston, Philadelphia and more. The tour kicks off in Indianapolis on Sept. 6 and culminates with a hometown show at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on Nov. 21.

There isn't a relationship there to worry about, I am too different from them and even when I try to appreciate the things that matter to them, they don't value any of the things I am interested in, and this feels like the last nail in the coffin. You are right about having to be the squeaky wheel, except my parents have always been sort of deaf about me so my grandparents had to step in. I was an accident, they had my older siblings and planned to be done and then got pregnant with me. When it turned out I wasn't like any of them, they sort of left me with my grandparents a lot. My brother was raised to be junior version of our dad and they always call Kelsey Mom's "Mini-Me".

My parents, dad especially, would have lost their minds if Grandma and Grandpa had been in charge because dad is still angry that they paid for lawschool for my uncle but wouldn't pay for him to study music. Which is funny because now they are paying for my sister to go to art school instead of me going to college to study science, and don't seem to see the problem. My uncle talking to Dad would only esculate things, Dad has always been angry that my grandparents paid for law school for my uncle but wouldn't pay for him to study music. My grandparents say they would have covered it but he also had to study something practical and he refused to. My grandparents are/were very practical people who definitely disaproved of their artsy, impractical kids, but were willing to pay bills and buy groceries so us kids were taken care of.

Hear Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen's New Song 'Mamaw's House'

mamaws house

They haven't attended a single awards ceremony or math or science competition ever. If my grandparents and my uncle and aunt (his wife) didn't make an effort to show up, I'd never have anyone there. They have always been clear that I was an accident, a whoopsie, and when I wasn't musical like my dad and brother, or artistic like my mom and sister, they basically had no use for me, so Mamaw, PopPop, Grandma, and Grandpa took care of me most of the time. My grandparents are also the reason that we had food and electricity and the rent was paid because my parents are an artist and musician and didn't make enough money, and wouldn't listen to their parents and get "real" jobs to take care of us. I am a math and science nerd, something all of my grandparents always encouraged, so if I was spoiled it was only by their attention. They didn't believe in a lot of presents, so if they weren't giving them to all of us we didn't get them, and we always got practical stuff like clothes and shoes for Christmas and birthdays.

Charts

Dad's always been pissed that my grandparents paid for my uncle's law school and my aunts teaching degree but wouldn't pay for him to study music, but Grandpa says he would have paid for it if Dad also studied something practical like Accounting or even welding. My best friend says I'm just catching the generational bullcrap and it's rolled down on me early, and I got caught in the crossfire. I can appreciate art and music and make an effort to show that I care about the things that they do and care about, but they don't return the favor.

So who else from the hit Bravo show should snag a ticket to this not-so-elite function? It takes courage to carry a baby to term when facing uncertainty and hurdles, in fact it may seem impossible. Whether they choose to parent or place the child in a loving family through adoption, they will have the opportunity to find courage within themselves at Mama’s House.

Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen, ‘Mamaw’s House’: Story Behind the Song

After celebrating 21 chart-topping hits in a matter of just 10 years, Thomas Rhett enters the second decade of his career notching his 22nd career No. 1 with “Mamaw's House (feat. Morgan Wallen)." I’ll be right back,” Wallen tells his buddies, before his grandma is heard over the loudspeakers saying, “What’s up Morgan? ” Soon after, the song kicks off, with Wallen helming the first verse and chorus. Instead of opting for an over-the-top narrative, Rhett and Wallen simply let their heartfelt sentiments paint a moving picture of what spending time with their mamaws has always been like. The result is a universally relatable song that'll take listeners back to their childhood years spending time with grannies.

Rhett released the song as a way to thank his grandmother along with the fans to reach out to theirs. Mamaw used to tell me how dogs can't see in color, so they can't really appreciate a rainbow, and that my achievements and interests were just something my parents couldn't appreciate. All this is making me miss her more, my Grandma is awesome but Mamaw was the one I spent the most time with when I was little and maybe it's stupid but thinking about this and the fact that the money only exisisted because she and Poppop died is making me angry and sad. I'm going to graduate next month and I don't think my parents even care, I know my grandparents do but the fact that only half of them will be there is getting to me today. Topping the Mediabase/Country Aircheck and Billboard Country Airplay charts this week, Rhett and Wallen wrote the track with Matt Dragstem and Chase McGill.

Whose House? Well, ‘Mamaw’s House’ Apparently for Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen

It wasn't my parents money to spend, it was money left by my Mamaw to pay for all three of us kids to pay for college. My Mom's Aunt Teresa was in charge of it, and oversaw it being used to pay for my brothers college education. Then she died, and my parents wound up in charge of it, and are using the remaining amount, which should have been an excess of 180K according to what my brother says his education cost, to pay for my sisters fine arts degree and junior artist in residence opportunity.

My parents, dad especially, would have lost their minds if Grandma and Grandpa had been in charge because dad is still angry that they paid for lawschool for my uncle but wouldn't pay for him to study music. Which is funny because now they are paying for my sister to go to art school instead of me going to college to study science, and don't seem to see the problem.

My grandparents say they would have covered it but he also had to study something practical and he refused to. My grandparents are/were very practical people who definitely disaproved of their artsy, impractical kids, but were willing to pay bills and buy groceries so us kids were taken care of.

A Place Of Hope

I work, my grandparents sold me my Grandma's old car and let me make payments on it, but that's as close to being given anything as I have gotten. Though, who knows, maybe once I'm out my grandparents will stop, but my dad has always held the fact that they helped my uncle with law school but wouldn't finance his music dreams against them, so maybe that's part of the guilt. Since I didn't want music or art lessons, my parents never paid for anything, so my grandparents paid for my science team trips and let me buy my Grandma's old car so I could get a job and pay her back. If I'm spoiled it's only because my Grandma and Grandpa tell me how proud of me they are, and they are the only ones who do it. I'm probably a "brat" because I am resentful that so many adults I know, my grandparents friends and my friends parents, refer to me as "every parents dream child" and my own parents don't care.

I have already done the equivilant of 2+ years of community college through the dual enrollment program between our states community colleges and my highschool. That's why it's anticipated that I only need 5 semesters instead of 8 to complete my bachelors degree, and that's simply because my degree requires classes that have to be taken consecutively. I did that because I knew that the colleges with the program I was interested in were in state schools that would accept those transfer credits, and it meant less time in total getting my education. “The song describes my grandmothers and Morgan’s as well – we wanted to describe a small town piece of paradise. Growing up, I can remember going to both of my grandmothers’ houses in South Georgia. This song really hits home for me and I hope everyone feels the same,” Rhett explained via a press release.

This year, the Daily Mail proved to be an early frontrunner by inviting former Vanderpump Rules stars (and current The Valley stars) Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright — right in the middle of their new separation. But these two aren’t the only Vanderpump Rules stars to have breached nerd prom and shared a room with the president. Just last year, Ariana Madix, Lala Kent, and Lisa Vanderpump set the precedent — also invited by the Daily Mail — and even got to hear host Roy Wood Jr. joke about Scandoval in front of Joe Biden.

The song elicited an immediate reaction from fans and was spontaneously added to Country radio stations across the country, rising to the top of the charts as well as garnering 94.6 MILLION streams globally. “Mamaw’s House” appears on Thomas Rhett’s just released retrospective 20 NUMBER ONES collection, crafted to honor earning 20 No. 1 hits in just 10 years.

The mid-tempo tune begins with Wallen telling a group of friends “sorry, my Mamaw called me, I’ll be right back” before leaving the room to talk to his late grandma.

The Georgia native continued to shared that neither him nor Wallen liked the song they were writing at the time, and they were about to just give up on the track. That is before Wallen’s Grandma called him and inspired them to keep writing. Momma’s House was established in 2019, to address supportive housing for people in Los Angeles County. Designed to provide up to 90 days of Transitional housing and client case management for individuals in need. Our Housing Program is offered through various opportunities including support from community-based organizations and county resources. Throughout the song, Rhett and Wallen reflect on their grandmas and the profound impact they made on each of their respective lives and how they found a safe space at their “Mamaw’s House.” The pair then join together to sing the track’s final chorus, showcasing their rich harmonies flawlessly.

“About midway through to 2020, Me and Morgan Wallen wrote a song together and I just kind of want to set the scene for you a real quick because obviously this was 2020, and we were writing the song over the dang internet, which was crazy,” Rhett previously explained during a concert in Bristow, Virginia. As a 29-year-old entrepreneur, he oversees content as the Editor-In-Chief for the independent brand. Wendowski, who splits time between Philadelphia, Penn., and Nashville, Tenn., has an extensive background in multimedia. Before launching Music Mayhem in 2014, he worked as a highly sought-after photojournalist and tour photographer, collaborating with such labels as Interscope Records and Republic Records.

He has captured photos of some of the biggest names, including Taylor Swift, Metallica, Harry Styles, P! NK, Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Shania Twain, and hundreds more. Wendowski’s photos and freelance work have appeared nationwide and can be seen everywhere from ad campaigns to various publications, including Billboard and Rolling Stone. When Wendowski isn’t running Music Mayhem, he enjoys spending time at concerts, traveling, and capturing photos. Rhett, who just celebrated his 21st No. 1 single, with “Angels,” is thrilled to finally be able to put out the sentimental track.

I don't ask my parents for anything, because I know that I was an accident they didn't want. I paid for for my own graduation regalia and before I had a job my grandparents paid for things like my science club trips andhonestly, most of my food, and often the roof over my head until my Memaw died and left my mom a house, and even my clothes. My parents are bad with money and my grandparents constantly had to float them.

The design explores the combination and interaction of multiple spaces by excavating the distinctive features of the company, and by extracting, breaking down, and developing from the elements of its logo. Repeating organic forms, undulating silhouettes, and multi-dimensional mapping overlap create a fluid space that mimics a wormhole. The project integrates exhibition, office, banquet, and recreational activity areas, presenting a unique encounter between people and space. "Patio furniture so often looks the same and these are so unique. I would set them apart from the main outdoor seating area and have them be their own conversation moment with an interesting shaped concrete stool in between." On the interior, the designer traded traditional beachy blues for the lush greens of the palms so often seen down at the beach.

Designer Stephanie Hatten updated the Gatehouse Kitchen, turning it into an airy English-country-inspired space. An eye-catching natural stone by Walker Zanger was selected for the counters and backsplash, and the space was outfitted with the latest Monogram appliances. Native California wildflowers accent the Arroyo Vista Garden, which was designed with fire safety in mind. Landscape architect Elisa Read Pappaterra filled the center fountain with cascading succulents.

Install Colorful Flooring

Consider taking a risk on some dark, moody tiles—especially if you’re decorating a high-traffic area, like a guest bathroom. She recommends mixing family photos and homemade artwork into gallery walls and sprinkling other memorable items around the house. If you love the look of a bold color or print—but you’re not ready to fill a room with it—consider an accent wall.

Revisit Retro Style

Getting playful with your décor choices doesn’t only mean picking vibrant colors and bold prints. It can also mean adding glamour in places you’d never expect to find it. Mirror, mirror on the wall, you make interiors shine, like in this Urbanology Designs space. Before you buy new furniture, see if you can repurpose something you already own. For instance, instead of splurging on nightstands, perhaps utilize mismatched chairs or floating shelves to get the job done and create a personalized bedroom design. Before you dispose of dishes, pictures frames, and even large furniture items that have seen better days, think about ways in which you can repurpose these pieces to add some new life.

A forecast led by interior designers with a pulse on trends that will be shaping the upcoming year, and beyond. 'One of my favorite tile combinations to create is two colors of the same tile to create a high contrast in color, while keeping the tile pattern simple. It adds a “pop” of color and a ton of visual interest to a bathroom,' explains interior designer Michelle Yorke. If you’re hoping to continue that process this year, you may be searching for some inspiration.

Overlap the Artwork

“One of the main things we did was add a window seat, which looks like it should always have been here,” Slesinski says. “Our whole goal with this space was basically to turn the lights on in the room, bring in the garden that’s outside, and kind of have an experience of a breath of fresh air,” Brosio says. Cozy Stylish Chic Creative Director Jeanne K. Chung and designers Angela Lee and Caroline Meloche brightened the dark wood-paneled library to create a space where residents can unplug. Wallpaper was added to the ceiling and the backs of the bookcases, and heavy wood blinds were replaced with soft draperies and Roman shades to make the space feel lighter. The firm used a mix of fabrics and wall coverings by Ralph Lauren Home from Designers Guild throughout the space. Hand-painted floors were the jumping-off point for designer Amy Peltier’s soothing primary bedroom design.

Create a Floor-to-Ceiling Palette

“Try layering a printed wallpaper border atop a plain painted wall; a clever way to add character to an otherwise monotonous space,” says designer Angela Harris of Denver-based TRIO. Unlike the cheesy and too-country patterns of yesteryear, companies are releasing contemporary motifs, like the newly launched Lick X Kelly Hoppen CBE wallpaper borders that make minimalism timeless. Take a look back—50 years back—when tackling the backsplash, suggests Alex Alonso of Mr. Alex Tate Design. Or you can create a vibrant custom backsplash with watercolor, marbled paper, even a piece of pretty fabric that’s protected behind a pane of tempered glass. If your bathroom floors or walls need a facelift, plan to go retro with hexagons, rhomboids, and circles, Gardemal advises.

The style combines several elements of traditional British country houses, like floral wallpaper, rough-hewn wood, copper pots, and brick floors, and updates them for modern use, as Shavonda Gardner did in her kitchen here.

Use a Single Bold Color Accent

With sleek, often minimal elements, bespoke furniture, and high-tech details, Contemporary interiors (like this bedroom by Catherine Kwong) are more streamlined than modernist ones and more textural than minimal ones. Modern Farmhouse style interprets its traditional cousin but simplifies shapes and often incorporates midcentury and industrial elements, like in this kitchen by Alyssa Rosenheck. The Pingora's bathroom is situated on the opposite side of the home to the living room and looks quite snug. Above the bathroom is a small secondary loft that can be reached by ladder and offers a little extra storage space. 'In this bathroom, we selected a zellige type tile in cream and navy to create the high contrast and visual interest,'  she adds.

A spiral staircase was removed to enhance the flow of the floor plan, while the floors were given a facelift with oak hardwood flooring. Molly joined the Homes & Gardens interiors team at the start of 2024 as a content editor. Her undergraduate degree was in Magazine Journalism and Production, which she studied at the University of Gloucestershire.

The designer created a serene escape for her family of five, one that could withstand the element of the salty sea air and be durable enough for a family living — sandy feet and wet bathing suits. The marble adds a sense of tranquillity, while the subway tiles add interest and a playful injection of personality. Using two different-sized tiles allows the smaller decorative pieces to have their moment without feeling too busy. In any scheme, pairing the right floor tiles and wall tiles together is important to achieve the aesthetic you're hoping for.

The designer outfitted a door handcrafted in India with a vintage mirror to create a one of a kind headboard and bathed the space in deep emerald green. The glamorous touches continue in the ensuite bath, where Sabatella added a custom mirror-tiled tub that plays off the vintage French tile floor. Designer Lara Hovanessian packed plenty of bold design elements into the powder room and adjacent lounge. A moody House of Hackney floral wall covering lines the dressing area, which leads to a powder room accented with a Kelly Wearstler’s Graffito II from Walnut Wallpaper. A black-and-white triangular mosaic tile floor by Artistic Tile from Mission Tile West puts a contemporary twist on the classic checkered pattern. A palette of whites, deep blues, and gold creates an elegant atmosphere in the formal living room, which was designed by Rachel Duarte.

Dormer recommends sticking to one wall color or one-floor design and using furniture to switch things up from there. It doesn’t matter whether you’re upgrading an underutilized corner or renovating your space from top to bottom—inspiration is a must. Because in any design process, there are lots of questions to be answered and a lot of decisions to be made, and interior design inspiration can make all that stuff a little easier to sift through.

No kitchen is complete without a few appliances—but don’t let that ruin your carefully curated aesthetic. According to Courtney Clark, an interior designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors, you can actually enclose your range hood in another material to make it prettier. Yes, you can enjoy a mix of both paint and wallpaper in a given space without having to default to an accent wall.

Complete devastation: Man, woman killed in Crescent Township house explosion

house explodes

A house in Arlington, Va., exploded into flames on Monday night while the police were preparing to search it after reports of gunfire and a standoff with the man who lived there. Assistant Fire Chief Jason Jenkins said authorities turned off gas service to the home and evacuated nearby residents — including people who lived in the other part of the duplex — about 90 minutes before the explosion. As officers breached the door to enter the home, the suspect fired multiple gunshots from within the house, Penn said.

Johnson said investigators have not determined the cause of the explosion, but “we can assume it was propane-related.” He said the 500-gallon tank, located outside the house, had leaked the fuel into the house. STERLING, Va. — When firefighters arrived at a home in a Washington, D.C., suburb to investigate a report about a gas smell Friday night, they discovered a 500-gallon underground propane tank with a leak on the side of the residence.

"I walk past there all the time. It's a little frightening to think what's going on in these houses." Kathleen Boyce, who lives just around the block, said she was watching the house through a gap in her neighbor's yard after hearing sirens all night. David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, told reporters that Yoo had communicated with the FBI via phone calls, online tips and letters over a number of years.

Debris from the original fire flew through the air and started another fire nearby, according to the officer. "You don't think anything like this is going to happen in your neighborhood." Crews were able to extinguish the fire and declared the structure a knockdown by 6 a.m., about an hour and 11 minutes after it initially broke out. They will continue to address hot spots throughout the morning without entering the structure, fire officials said. Sunday, the reports of the home being “booby-trapped” remained unconfirmed. As crews arrived at the scene, they could hear ammunition being “cooked off,” which is when unfired ammunition prematurely explodes due to high heat.

Brown was married with three children and had been with the county firefighting services since 2016, Johnson said.

RICHFIELD, Minn. — A home explosion just south of Minneapolis sent one woman to the hospital Monday morning. An early morning house fire fueled partly by ammunition present on the property led to the death of two people and a dog on Sunday, fire officials said. Crews were expected to be on the scene for "an extended period of time," the department said. Hazmat and fire investigators had been on their way to the scene, officials said. Fire crews responded to the two-alarm fire late Saturday, the Baltimore County Fire Department said in a statement on social media. Video posted by the department on a social media account showed smoke billing from the debris, with roof gables and siding on the ground.

Penn noted that officials are aware of "concerning" social media posts allegedly made by Yoo, adding that they will be reviewed as part of the investigation. His social media postings and arrest records suggest the immolation stemmed instead from a place of conspiracy theories and paranoia.

Video posted to social media showed a huge fireball and what appeared to be the roof and other debris lofted into the air during the blast, which neighbors said could be heard and felt for miles around in the Washington, D.C., suburb.

house explodes

Savage said police did not have any evidence that others were in the duplex but could not rule out the possibility. A house in Virginia exploded Monday night shortly after officers were executing a search warrant at the residence for reports of a person discharging several rounds with a flare gun, officials said. Five people died and three others were injured after a house explosion on a suburban street in Pennsylvania on Saturday spread flames to several nearby homes, shattering windows and causing walls to crumble, the authorities said.

Penn said police responded to the house at about 4.45pm on Monday after reports of shots fired. The suspect who fired at officers from a duplex in an Arlington, Virginia, neighborhood before the home exploded on Monday night is presumed dead, according to authorities. The person inside did not respond, and officers were trying to execute the search warrant when "the suspect discharged several rounds, from what is believed to be a firearm, inside the home," police added. After they obtained a search warrant for the house in the 800 block of North Burlington Street, officers "attempted to make contact with the suspect over the telephone and through loudspeakers," police said in a statement. Penn said officers attempted to engage with Yoo to no avail, so they obtained a search warrant.

The police hurried to extinguish the flames, and he was taken to a hospital burn unit, gravely injured. Cambodia, like many countries in the region, has been suffering from an extended heat wave, and the province where the blast took place registered a high of 39 C (102 F) on Saturday. While high temperatures normally can’t detonate ammunition, they can degrade the stability of explosives over a period of time, with the risk that a single small explosion can set off a fire and a chain reaction. Another villager, who asked to be named only as Sophal, said the military closed the road to the base and “villagers were in a panic, seeking a safe place.” He moved his family to his parent’s home, farther away from the base. When he returned to his own house hours later, he found it undamaged but other villagers’ houses had broken windows, doors and roofs, he said. According to LAFD Captain Scott, the firefight was more difficult due to the property having three separate homes on it, which forced crews to fight three separate fires at once.

Vases or pots give survivors the opportunity to continue to care for their lost loved ones for decades to come. Bronze emblem medallions are a great way to incorporate the symbol or emblem of your career, clubs, hobbies, or military branch of service. These usually incorporate color into the design to add even more beauty and detail to your memorial stone.

Where will the memorial be placed?

However, these are usually supported by a granite base on which etchings can be made. Again, keep it simple with one artistic element, a short epitaph or inscription, and the person’s name, date of birth and date of death on the slant face. It is also common for a gravestone to have a laser- or hand-etched image of the individual or a scene on his or her memorial. Granite is the most common material choice and is allowed in nearly all cemeteries. Though naturally occurring, this rock that can be found in an infinite number of colors and varieties.

Designing Your Own Headstone Online: Frequently Asked Questions

The most common bronze elements we see are the free bronze plaques and medallions provided by the VA for our military veterans.

Just because a retailer isn’t local to you doesn’t mean that it'll cost more. In fact, many headstone creators offer free shipping and other discounts. Furthermore, shopping around will also help you finalize your design plans or find needed inspiration. In older Italian cemeteries there are numerous chapels, monuments and big headstones. However, in modern cemeteries people are interred in the same type of 'burial wall' as in Spain. Italian cemeteries are now struggling with the problem of a lack of space.

The types vary by region and may be sourced from North America, Asia and Europe. In fact, if memorializing outside of a cemetery, cremated remains don't have to be present to create a space of remembrance. That last bullet point is what we’ll focus on, as it’s often overlooked.

Using our Free Custom Headstone Designer is more than just creating a monument; it’s about weaving those memories into a tangible tribute. In this digital age, crafting legacies has become more personal, immersive, and meaningful. Here’s to celebrating the lives of those we’ve lost in the most profound way possible. Naturally, the more custom elements you incorporate in your headstone, the more it will cost (in most cases). Many providers offer baseline designs that have plenty of elements that you can tweak to fit your preferences at no additional cost. However, you can find plenty of elegant, affordable headstones that you can design online, especially if you keep it simple.

Personalized Headstone And Memorial Designs

You can download LEOPOLY CAD sculpting software or Monu-CAD which will let you design, visualize, and document your headstone design ideas. You can rough out an initial headstone design concept, design your own headstone online, or create an accurate list of materials. On the other hand, you can simply draw the headstone using a pencil, ruler and graph paper, then scan your headstone design and email it to Rome. You can also take a picture of your headstone layout with your phone. Many people opt for the traditional memorial and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Natural Stones

A tactfully placed bronze cross, rose, or bird can add the perfect final touch to a beautifully designed memorial. Grave markers are significantly less expensive than upright headstones and come with many of the same options and space you’d get with an upright headstone. A double headstone (also known as a companion monument or companion headstone) is used to mark the burial plot (or plots) where two partners are buried. They can be larger than a traditional headstone and include information about both the decedents. These headstones designed for couples are a great way to show the amount of love and devotion between a paired couple, even after they’ve passed away. In the tapestry of life, memories of our loved ones are the threads that add richness and depth.

Some families even use custom engravings to design funny gravestones rather than somber or more serious ones. Many headstone companies will provide a set of typical engraving designs for you to look through, but customization is not uncommon when it comes to headstone engravings. Of course, the more simplistic the materials and the design, the less you’ll pay. Larger designs, more expensive materials, and more complex shapes can raise the price to several thousand dollars. If you do run into some roadblocks for what you’d like engraved on your loved one’s headstone, perhaps it means you haven’t talked to the right people yet.

It creates a personal and intimate memorial by providing a place for visitors to sit and reflect, which is, in itself, a personal and customized experience for all who come to visit. Did you know there are more than three or four colors of granite to choose from? You might not realize this by strolling through a cemetery as a majority of the stones are either black, gray, pink, or brown.

Monument design software lets you visualize, plan, diagram, sketch, draw, render and 3D model custom designed headstone. The artists at Rome can help you find what is the best method for your artistic skill level. Then we can take your simple sketches or written instructions and make detailed CAD drawings for your approval. When designing your own headstone, taking practical steps is important.

How Much Does Pet Insurance Cost In 2022?

They all have quality food for people, and some even have an exclusive doggy menu. For a taste of Korean-style hotdogs, look no further than Myungrang. The chewy exterior can skew sweet, with a deep-fried dog coated with sugar.

The Terrace at The Maybourne Beverly Hills

One super hot summer day in front of my parent's store, there was a nice Hispanic lady selling hot dogs on a flat grill. The hot dog was wrapped in bacon and toppings of grilled onions, bell peppers, red peppers and jalapenos were offered with mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup to sauce it up. Los Angeles may very well be the country’s mecca for dog lovers, thanks to the wide availability of warm weather days and ample open spaces.

Attached to the Shay Hotel — which is equally pet-friendly — Etta’s an ideal spot to make sure all visitors are comfortable while trying the dry-aged branzino or one of the housemade pasta. Sure, it’s right in the midst of a busy touristy stretch of West Hollywood. But there’s something about enjoying an old-fashioned chili dog on a Pacific Railroad passenger train right on Sunset Boulevard. Carney’s offers guests just that, slinging hot dogs out of a bright-yellow rail car since 1975.

The owners (who, unsurprisingly, are fur parents) have created a casual space for you to enjoy classic comfort food in the company of your canine. Since it’s doggo’s day out, he deserves tasty treats after his gourmet meal. A family-owned business for more than 30 years, Earle’s is usually filled with loyal locals who love its famous dogs. There is the usual all-beef version with an accompanying all-beef chili, of course, but don’t overlook the vegan dogs, links, and chili. East Los Angeles’ longtime stand is the spot to grab a dog, especially a chili-covered one.

It specializes in Rippers, natural casing beef and pork dogs from New Jersey that are deep-fried and customized with ample toppings. The Arts District’s Manuela is extra pup-friendly with 5,000 square feet that extends into the Hauser & Wirth gallery’s courtyard/garden. Staff are always quick to bring water, and it’s a gorgeous spot to take in a meal (and a couple of really good cocktails) with a dog or two.

This tear-apart bread is showered with corn, herbs, and a creamy sauce, or a version with green onions and cheese. The Anchor, located near Venice Beach, offers a casual dining experience. Although they have a small L-shaped indoor bar, the real action happens outside.

Dogue has just opened in San Francisco—and it’s the first fine-dining doggie restaurant in the United States, located in a city where dogs are rumored to outnumber children. And when it comes to dog meals, this highly ranked dog-friendly restaurant doesn’t hold back. Some of the best things about Chinese bakeries are the savory gifts often filled with sausage. At Oh My Pan, a soft and fluffy bun is shaped like a flower, and each petal is stuffed with a hot dog slice.

Tallula’s in Santa Monica was always one of Los Angeles’s more dog-friendly spaces (maybe even friendlier than most, with employees consistently coming over to give dog-friends ample treats and love). But with the addition of its new-ish Sunday dog brunch, now a full-time dog menu offered seven days a week, it’s reached a new tier. Dogs can feast on watermelon bites, chicken tacos, and the “wolf’s feast,” a bowl of raw grass-fed hanger steak with steamed vegetables. Even though Pedalers Fork has deep roots in Los Angeles’s bike culture, it’s also an ideal spot to bring pups. The Calabasas space can provide options if there for a quick coffee stop, or with a full sit-down meal including brisket, maple chili chicken wings, and a hot chicken sandwich. This isn’t the first Fido-friendly restaurant in the United States.

Momed boasts its very own mascot, Piper, who is often roaming the grounds of this Middle Eastern hot spot in Atwater Village. Bring friends to keep her company on the spacious shaded patio, and enjoy some of mezze, cocktails, and kabobs to boot. That covered patio at Birdie G’s is sizable, and the perfect spot for dogs to cool down while waiting for the humans to enjoy chef Jeremy Fox’s matzo ball soup or the corned beef short ribs. A professional chef trained in classical French cuisine, founder Rahmi Massarweh believes that fresh and raw food is great for dogs. “Dogue is our mission to change the lives of as many dogs as we can. Feeding fresh, seasonal, quality whole food one meal at a time,” says Massarweh.

Just in time for the sunny season, Above Fifth atop the AC San Rafael hotel has officially reopened. The rooftop bar first debuted last August but moved indoors during the winter season. And in other celebrity restaurant news, SFGATE reports that spiky-haired celebrity chef Guy Fieri will also lend his name to a host of upcoming Northern California restaurants. The outlet reports that Chandi Hospitality Group will open 10 Fieri-backed Chicken Guy restaurants from the Bay Area to Sacramento, starting with a first location in American Canyon at 200 American Canyon Road. The restaurants serve chicken tenders and, at some locations, chicken sandwiches and a range of dipping sauces.

A wide variety of toppings make each one uniquely delicious, as just about anyone within a two-mile radius of the restaurant’s address near USC can attest with locations six LA locations and one in Las Vegas. There are ample and cozy nooks nestled throughout Lady Byrd Cafe, from the private greenhouse rooms to the multiple patios. It’s easy to find a space for all to get comfortable while tasting pastas, brunch, kids meals, salads, burgers, or something from the fresh juice menu.

The owners have pups of their own, so it’s an ideal stop for those looking to dine out with their dogs. Did you know that there’s an app for finding dog-friendly restaurants in your area? It’s the BringFido app, which has information on dog-friendly hotels, restaurants, and more plus reviews from real dog owners like you.

Cruises From Honolulu, Oahu Norwegian Cruise Line

norwegian cruise hawaii

NCL expects to add crew members and open additional restaurants and bars in the coming month but doesn't anticipate being at full capacity with all venues open until late November or December. For the best value, book when NCL is offering a Free at Sea promo that includes a complimentary beverage package, Wi-Fi, and specialty dining as well as discounts on shore excursions since this can save you a bundle. With any cruise in Hawaii, you’re only going to get to see a few highlights of each island and that’s it. There’s far more to see and do on every island than what can be toured in just one or even two days! We’ve created some excellent week-long vacation itineraries for each Hawaiian Island.

BEST DEAL ON HAWAII CRUISES

For a ship that’s dedicated to sailing within the Hawaiian Islands every day of the year for many years, it sure could use more Hawaiian or tropical decor. If you’ve never been to Hawaii or tend to just go to one of the islands, this itinerary is a very good one. The Pride of America itinerary is especially good if you’re short on time and you want to get a taste of each of the four major islands. It’s a very efficient itinerary in that you travel from island to island while you’re having dinner, enjoying evening entertainment and sleeping. Only Norwegian lets you visit four islands in seven days, which means you're on an island each and every day! Since we are the only cruise line that homeports in Hawaii, offering convenient year-round Saturday departures, you can vacation on your schedule.

Touring the road to Hana with Valley Isle Excursions

We have a very special relationship with the people and islands of Hawaii, as we sail to the beautiful state year-round. While this itinerary visits four islands, first-timers should plan for at least two nights on Oahu—home to Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. Fly in early, book a hotel in Waikiki and try your hand at surfing or outrigger canoe paddling. If you feel energetic, reserve a time (early morning is best) to hike to the summit of Diamond Head for panoramic views. Or visit Iolani Palace and the Bishop Museum to experience the royal Hawaii of old.

When is the worst time to visit Hawaii on vacation?

Our balcony room sleeps two people comfortably and a third with the pull out sofa bed. It’s difficult for us to imagine trying to fit a third person in the room. It would definitely be tight particularly if the third person is a teen or adult.

While it’s considered a non-obstructed room, we felt that the view of the lifeboat wasn’t exactly unobstructed. Hawaii cruises that include French Polynesia are one way, longer than a week, and often include Papeete, Bora Bora, and Moorea. The big, blue Pacific and stunning Koolau mountains serve as a dramatic setting for Hawaii's largest city. Catch a glimpse of history by visiting Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Entertainment onboard is more low-key than on other NCL ships, which are known for their Broadway musicals and high-gloss production shows. Aboard Pride of America, performances are limited to vocalists, comedians, movie screenings, and game-show-like contests.

The “Freestyle Daily” lists the complete schedule of what’s happening each day. There’s so much going on — Hawaiian cultural lessons, culinary demonstrations, cornhole tournaments, trivia, live music, pool games, dance classes, karaoke and much more. If you are traveling with children or teens, the ship offers youth programs for them. We chose a balcony room with a non-obstructed view for our cruise.

As of early June, only Cagney's Steakhouse and Jefferson Bistro are open, along with complimentary dining venues Skyline Main Dining Room, Aloha Café, and Cadillac Diner. The ship, which carries 2,186 passengers at full occupancy but is sailing at 50 percent capacity through at least November 2022, is 17 years old and unique to the NCL fleet. It features a distinctly Americana theme—the main reception area resembles something straight out of Jeffersonian Washington, D.C.—with décor that's kitschy and colorful rather than contemporary and neutral. We did some price comparison between what the ship offered and what we could find independently. We noticed that the closer that we got to our sailing date, the prices of the excursions increased.

Excursions from the NCL Pride of America

For more insight into the cruise experience, check out our Pride of America Hawaii cruise video. The staff delivers a “Freestyle Daily” to your cabin every night with information for the following day. It was usually four pages in length and full of great information on activities and entertainment.

The ship provides soap and shampoo in dispenser containers. It’s nice that you don’t have to worry about individual plastic containers and that’s a win for the environment. It would have been better to have had a name brand soap and shampoo or something with a tropical scent to fit the Hawaiian Islands, instead of of what appears as a mass-produced, inexpensive product. The bathroom is quite small with limited storage space. The following photo actually makes it appear larger than it really is.

There are bubblegum hues in Pink's Champagne Bar, for instance, and a riot of vivid bead-inspired colors in the Mardi Gras Cabaret Lounge & Nightclub. There are two pools, multiple hot tubs and lots of appealing outside deck space—including the Aloha Lanai Bar aft on deck 11—ideal for sail-away cocktails at sunset. New – we’ve compiled a detailed list of what to see and do on a cruise at each Hawaiian port. So, those were all kind of first-world problems, but still, when you’re paying for a good experience and not getting it, it’s disappointing.

Discover the recently refurbished Norwegian Spirit as you witness the South Pacific’s untouched islands on a Hawaii and French Polynesia cruise. Experience the lush forests, crystal-clear turquoise waters and colorful undersea life that will have you feeling like you are in paradise. If you'd rather dive into a snorkel adventure, two top catamaran excursions are the six-hour Molokini Crater & Turtle Snorkel ($249 per person) or the 8.5-hour Lanai Sail & Snorkel ($229). I did Molokini—an offshore crescent-shaped crater that's home to more than 250 species of tropical fish—on my first visit to Hawaii and enjoyed it. Some fellow passengers I spoke with on the recent cruise did Lanai and encountered lots of sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Further west, stop in historic Lahaina, which is home to a massive 149-year-old banyan tree along with galleries, shops, and restaurants.

It starts in Honolulu on Oahu on Saturday, sails to Maui by Monday morning and stays overnight in Maui. Next, the cruise moves to Hawaii, the Big Island with a day in Hilo followed by a day in Kona. From there, the cruise goes to Kauai with an overnight stay there. The cruise finishes with a scenic cruise of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast, then goes back to Honolulu, Oahu to disembark. This Saturday to Saturday itinerary is repeated week after week. There are three basic types of Hawaiian cruise itineraries.

The package we booked included a free perk of the “Hawaii Beverage Package” which included bottled water, sodas, beer, wine and mixed-drinks up to $15. A 20% service charge was applied to our package prior to the cruise. Decor-wise, we liked the restaurants and lounges that had a “Hawaiian-feel” to them, but there weren’t many places onboard like that. The Aloha Cafe, the main buffet restaurant of the ship, had some Hawaiian touches. We normally grabbed breakfast from here and took it out to the adjacent Aloha Lana’i Bar seating, which is alfresco. Pinks Champagne Lounge seemed to be an ode to the Royal Hawaiian hotel.

We’re glad that we had those options as the better food is definitely in the specialty restaurants. Jefferson’s Bistro, the French restaurant, was our favorite and the best meal we had on the ship. Cagney’s Steakhouse was good, and the only restaurant that we found that had lobster, but the service was very slow and our server got our order mixed up. At the Teppanyaki restaurant, our chef put on a great show, but the food was just okay. We are deeply saddened to hear about the wildfires currently impacting the town of Lahaina in Maui.

Our cruise fare with a balcony room, the beverage package, speciality dining package and some nominal credits totaled $4,768 for the two of us. The food and stateroom experience felt budget-level, but the cruise cost was far from being a budget price. Our travel package included three specialty dining options.

For adventures, there’s hiking, zip lining, kayaking and snorkeling. For the sightseer, there are many tours filled with amazing island scenery that hit some of each island’s highlights. Skim through this link for some examples of the excursions offered through NCL. We’ll share all the details, but if this is TLDR, the skinny is that the cruise itinerary is excellent, the destinations are amazing, the cabins are adequate, the food experience was sub par.
