Here at CCL, June is when we honor the men who make our world a fuller and richer place. Fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, you all have at least one you should stop and honor, right? Don't forget to make time for them!
And don't forget, as we go about our daily lives, it's easy to lose sight of those things we hold most dear, putting others in front of them, saying it's just for a little while, while we get ahead or get caught up. Unfortunately, we often forget to reprioritize afterward.
As country music star Cody Johnson recently told me during an interview, balance is something we choose, but that doesn't make achieving it any easier. So, as you look at his story and the others in this month's issue, reexamine what really matters to you. Is it time, family, or maybe health? I know it's not always easy to prioritize these things, but where are we without them? Unbalanced and out of whack!
It's not like you have to find balance once and then you're done, either. You can achieve it, but then something happens, and it's as if a thumb has been placed on your scales. Where you are needed or what is needed to right those scales is constantly changing. A single event can hit like an earthquake and make you lose your balance, or the pressure can be applied slowly until the sands shift and you realize you are just spread too thin.
I'm not sure about you, but I can't wait any longer to rebalance my scales. I must put aside some things I really like in order to create time for those I genuinely love. It won't be easy. Walking away from things like jobs, relationships, or lifestyles is rarely easy, but we only get one life, and only we can ensure that what we do with it really matters.
So go find your balance, and as always, I wish you only the best!

There’s something timeless about a lakeside afternoon—kids laughing as they race into the water, parents lounging beneath a cabana, and the smell of sunscreen mingling with summer air. This is the atmosphere being lovingly revived at Lake Conroe Beach Park , a once-closed local gem now reopening under the visionary leadership of Leroy Herbert and family. Together with the team behind 1097 Watersports, the Herberts are transforming the park into the ultimate family destination—a space where joy is measured not in hours, but in memories.
Nestled on the edge of Lake Conroe, this 13-acre park is being reimagined as a place for families to connect, play, and unwind. Under the Herberts’ thoughtful direction, it’s no longer just a park—it’s a year-round community gathering spot with a heartwarming mission: to give families a safe, vibrant place to create unforgettable moments.
“We want this to be a park for families,” said Soraya Herbert, Leroy’s daughter and key member of the family-run team. “A place where kids can grow up making memories, and parents can finally take a deep breath and relax.”
The newly renovated park celebrated its Grand Opening on Sunday, May 5th, and the public was on hand. More than just a ribbon-cutting—it was a fullblown celebration, complete with a live orchestra,
local food vendors, and full access to the park’s sandy beach and recreational features.
From volleyball courts to shaded picnic spots, every inch of Lake Conroe Beach Park has been curated for comfort and convenience. Reserve a pavilion for your next birthday party or family reunion, or kick back in a lakeside cabana. Looking to get active? Grab a kayak and explore the shoreline from the water.
The expansive beachfront—now the largest public beach on Lake Conroe—offers space to play, splash, and soak up the sun. It’s the kind of place where kids can build castles and adults can build traditions.
And the future? Even brighter. Planned additions include a concert amphitheater, fishing docks, food trucks, and expanded sandy areas—ensuring the fun only grows with time.

“We want this to be a park for families,” said Soraya Herbert
Just around the corner, 1097 Watersports—also operated by the Herberts—is the perfect companion to a day at the park. Known for boat rentals, jet skis, and its iconic pirate ship, they add an extra splash of adventure to a Lake Conroe getaway.
Together, the two properties create a seamless landand-lake experience—ideal for families who want it all in one visit.
Lake Conroe Beach Park isn’t just for play—it’s also a picturesque spot to celebrate life’s significant milestones. Affordable wedding packages offer couples a scenic, stress-free venue with waterfront views, while event space rentals make planning your next gathering a breeze.
If you’re a local food vendor, the park is currently accepting vendor applications for its growing community market. It’s all part of the Herberts’ mission to make the park a vibrant, inclusive place for everyone.

Cody Johnson longs to be instrumental in country music's future, a goal he is well on his way to achieving, but that's a million miles from where he started. Cody began playing music in small town honky tonks across Texas, including a few right here in Montgomery County. Now that he is topping the charts, winning awards, and performing worldwide, he hopes others will recognize the roads he has traveled to achieve such heights.
This year alone, the Multi-Platinum Artist received seven nominations for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, and both Song and Single of the Year. He has also earned 44 Gold and Platinum Certifications, 9 billion Global Streams, and four #1 Singles, all achieved on his terms by prioritizing meaningful storytelling in his music.
Johnson is currently touring to promote his Leather Deluxe Edition album, his ninth studio album and third major-label release with COJO Music/Warner Music Nashville. Yet, despite his fame, this country music cowboy strives to remain the relatable neighbor from down the road in Huntsville, while spreading his brand of authentic country music worldwide.
Success in music like honky tonks is hard won and can be fleeting, but unlike most of the venues where Johnson first played in our area, he is not only still standing but has danced passed even his initial expectations.
"When I first started playing music, it was really acoustic nights around Huntsville, Texas, playing at Humpery's - [Them saying] we'll give you 100 bucks and a bar tab, you need to play for four hours - I was like yes, I've made it!" laughs the artist who grew up listening to Merle Haggard.
"One of my first gigs moving down to Montgomery County, I think, was in New Waverly at Borski's [Tavern], God rest its soul, they tore it down - I should have bought that little honky tonk," reminiscences Johnson. "Then we
would play on Lake Conroe at Grampy Larry's. I don't even know if that's still there." In truth, there is a Shell gas station where it once stood and the parking lot of what, until recently, was GuadalaHARRY's Bar and Grill.
"Then we'd play County Line BBQ and then all the way down to Spring, Texas, to Big Texas North when it was still around, then we'd run over to College Station and play Big Willies and Texas Hall of Fame and Hurricane Harry' s - Basically the name of the game was play as much as you can." says the musician who recognized that change was on the horizon for the music industry.
Johnson famously remained independent longer than most artists dare, passing on initial record deals for an entire decade so that he would have a more significant say in his own fate. On his own, Johnson gained traction through talent and tireless effort. He established well-worn trails across the state to perform, recorded independent records, and started getting play on Texas Radio. Then, he took the same approach and applied it to the entire country, having his band drive a van cross-country to play 250 shows a year before ever accepting the backing of a record label.
Initially, Cody's support came from family, friends, and a feverish fan base, the COJO Nation. "Especially starting out with my very first independent album, you're talking about the same core
group of 200 to 500 people who'd travel around, you got kind of familiar with the people you were playing for," says Johnson. "Those people feel like they have ownership." This deep connection with his fans has been a driving force in Johnson's career. Protective of fan investment and their belief that his music was something the rest of the world didn't have, or at least had lost, Johnson wasn't willing to give it up for a run-of-the-mill record deal. He wanted control. In Johnson's world, authenticity, like being a cowboy, is something you can't fake; either you live the life or you don't. It's in your DNA, and it shows in your craft. The emotional truth fans heard in songs like 'Dear Rodeo' would not be there if he had not lived it. He says, "You can tell when you sit in your car if a song is manufactured or real." Cody is all about being real.
Johnson firmly believes that artists should be allowed to be themselves, not repackaged by labels to capitalize on a watereddown, broader appeal. He stayed independent because he didn't want his sound, style, or values compromised. This unwavering commitment to his authenticity has resonated with his fans and set him apart in the music industry.
The following year, Johnson returned to the Rodeo, this time for opening night. Over 74-thousand people came for the show, making him the first unsigned artist in history to sell out NRG Stadium. Only Garth Brooks and George Strait had ever done it before.
Between his success and the advent of music streaming, Cody's moment finally arrived. He went to Nashville and signed a groundbreaking record deal. The agreement signing Cody Johnson to COJO Music/Warner Music Nashville occurred in June 2018. The deal meant Johnson was now part of one of country music's most prominent label groups. However, he retained creative control under his long-standing, completely independent, and personally owned record label, COJO Music.
This agreement opened the gates for other artists to follow. No longer must they get pushed around in LA and Nashville by the business side of music, signing over all rights to their music for a chance to be heard. Johnson's success and his ability to retain creative control under his long-standing, independently owned, and personally managed record label, COJO Music, set a new standard in the industry.
"[To] have people see that nothing changed - holy cow, he's still the same; he didn't change his look; he didn't change his sound," Johnson told CCL while out on tour. "Then you get new fans that want to be a part of this thing called COJO Nation, cause we are changing Country Music now! It went from little bars in Texas to literally the entire world; my last interview was a guy sitting in Spain talking about Ireland and Scotland."
Johnson has just returned from the leg of the tour that visited England, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia. The
sell-out crowds knew the lyrics to every song and bought up all the merchandise. "That's the power of Country Radio; that's one of the reasons why I held out for so long. I wasn't going to sacrifice who I am on the radio. If I maintain my authenticity, then when I get to that, even though I had to wait longer, it will be well worth it," says the CMA-nominated Artist of the Year.
Johnson's career initially required him to sacrifice everything. At points, he says he became so worn down that he didn't know who he was. He starved and bled for his career out of love and desire, but ultimately, he learned balance.
"My favorite thing in the world is to go on stage and captivate people. And some nights, it's not easy. Some nights, I call it manufactured adrenaline. The crowd has a weird vibe. They're participating and there's 18-thousand people, its sold out, but there's not that electricity, so I've got to work double to get them in the palm of my hand and those nights are tougher than when other nights, when I could go out there and sing the ABC's and they'd go crazy. Each night is different, but you're right; I love going out and entertaining people."
Expending that kind of energy on stage every night doesn't always leave much for home, but as with most things, with time and experience comes temperance. Married with two daughters,
Johnson finds refuge at home on his ranch, near family. He says balance is something you choose, but achieving it still takes effort.
"I'm very balanced. I'll be at home Monday through Thursday most of the time. Yesterday, I was out working on the ranch with my family, bottle-feeding calves and tagging calves. This morning, I got on a jet and flew to Buffalo, New York, and turned that guy off and turned on Cody Johnson. Ya know, it is what it is."
Johnson believes country music is experiencing a resurgence of authenticity, where it's cool again to be country, and that suits him just fine. Yet he'll stay the course even if the latest fade passes like Urban Cowboy.
To him, the heart of an authentic country song is a well-written story. He says it doesn't matter if it's a fun, tongue-in-cheek drinking song like 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' by Luke Combs or something more serious; if it echoes real-life sentiments, you're on your way to having something special.
"When you hear songs about 'Til You Can't,' that's a part of who I am," says Johnson. "I think that country songs should make you laugh, they should make you cry, they should make you pissed off, they should make you sad, they should make you want to go wave and American flag around. Make you want to hug your kids and reevaluate your life, all those things."
He brought his commitment to being authentically country to his shows overseas. "This is what we stand for, and this is the kind of music you're going to get, and they eat that up, and they are so thankful." Johnson says, "They have such a hunger for Country Music."
Now, back in the States, Johnson is amplifying his messages. Growing up in Texas, he enjoyed singing about his home state, but he feels that some talented artists were sidelined by this scenario in the past, often referred to as "Texas Guys." Cody didn't want that to happen to him, so for a while, as he knocked on the door to success, he stopped playing songs about his home state. Now that he is hosting the party, that sentiment has changed. With the resurgence of
“I’m very balanced,” says Johnson. “Yesterday, I was out working on the ranch with my family...This morning, I got on a jet and flew to Buffalo, NY.”
traditional country music and his rising popularity, Texas is back, too.
"Tonight when I open up the show in New York, I'm going to sing a song called 'That's Texas,'" says Johnson, enjoying his success. "Now the tables are turned, and I get to say, by God, I'm from Texas. In the beginning, it pigeonholeed my career, and now I'm going to Belfast, Ireland, and say'n I'm from Texas!"
Cody is at the top of his career and shows no signs of stopping. Still, when it does wane, he says it would make him proud to think that his sacrifices helped open the door to an open-mindedness in the industry that allows artists to be more creative.
"I think about me being old and gray and still putting out country music and still going to play shows and people still relating to it," muses Johnson. "Having that longevity, of someday when I'm gone to have someone say Cody Johnson changed country music for the better, country music wouldn't be what it is today if he hadn't done what he did. To me, that is more important than a platinum record, or a number one, or a sell-out show."
Due to demand, dates for the Leather Deluxe Tour continue to be added; however, at the time this article went to press, none of them were within a couple of hundred miles of Houston. Adding fuel to the rumors that Cody Johnson will be closing out the Rodeo next year with a full concert performance at NRG Stadium, but don't take our word for it; visit www.codyjohnsonmusic.com for the latest.

It’s a crisp spring Monday morning in Conroe, and the hum of innovation rides silently through the air — smooth, confident, electric. Slide into the driver’s seat of a Tesla Model S, not so much to take control as to grant it. With a soft chime and a tap of the center screen, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system awakens, ready to carry me 240 miles northwest to Fort Worth — no hands required.
For many, the concept of autonomous driving still feels like a scene pulled from a science fiction novel. But in 2025, Tesla’s FSD software has transformed that fiction into road-ready reality. And it's not just about long-haul convenience — this technology is poised to revolutionize how we experience everything from daily commutes to weekend getaways.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving suite, a cutting-edge combination of Artificial Intelligence, neural networks, and a sophisticated array of cameras and sensors, goes beyond the assisted-driving features of old. Where traditional adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist offer partial support, Tesla’s FSD system is designed to navigate city streets, handle stoplights, make turns, yield to pedestrians, and even search for parking—all without human intervention.
The magic is in Tesla’s approach. Rather than relying solely on LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), like many competitors, Tesla bets on vision — its "Tesla Vision" system mimics human sight using high-resolution cameras and real-time processing. It constantly learns from a massive fleet of vehicles, feeding data into a self-improving neural network. Every drive makes the system more intelligent and more intuitive. More human.
The Houston-to-Dallas corridor, once a test of patience, has evolved into a high-tech showcase of autonomous technology. I watched as the Model S gracefully merged onto I-45, managing lane changes, navigating construction zones, and maintaining a fluid, human-like cadence in traffic. Rest stops were chosen with thoughtfulness (Bucee’s obviously). The vehicle monitored fatigue and suggested optimal times to stretch, refuel, or recharge.
Tesla’s trip planner seamlessly integrates Supercharger stations, displaying real-time availability and queue times. Range Anxiety is now an old-world concern—this is the luxury of motion uninterrupted.
Once in the city, the true versatility of Tesla’s FSD system becomes even more apparent. Unlike highway driving — predictable and linear — urban navigation is complex, nuanced, and social. Yet, the Tesla handled the chaos that is 1488 with grace.
The vehicle anticipated lane merges in tight traffic, rolled gently through roundabouts, and responded to the less tangible cues of city life — like a jaywalker’s sudden dart into the road or a double-parked delivery truck blocking a lane.
Summon mode, Tesla’s remote valet feature, made parking in The Woodlands a hands-free affair. A quick swipe on the app and the Model S exited a tight spot and rolled curbside to pick me up after Cars and Coffee.
Tesla’s technology isn't just about comfort—it’s primarily about safety. According to the company, vehicles equipped with FSD software experience far fewer accidents per mile than human-driven vehicles. The system is constantly vigilant, never distracted, and responds to threats in milliseconds. For families, commuters, and road-trippers alike, this peace of mind may soon become the gold standard in automotive travel.
But perhaps most intriguing is what autonomy unlocks. It democratizes mobility — giving the elderly, the visually impaired, and others with limited driving ability newfound freedom. It reshapes urban planning, potentially reducing congestion and emissions through more intelligent routing. And it brings about the most significant dimension of luxury — time.
Time, after all, is the last true luxury. And in a world where Tesla’s Full Self-Driving is at your command, the hours once lost to traffic are returned — yours to relax, or reconnect.
Of course, full autonomy still faces hurdles — regulatory approval, infrastructure updates, and most importantly, public trust. The momentum, however, is undeniable. As Tesla continues to refine its software and expand its charging network, the age of autonomous travel is not just coming — it has arrived.
For those who live life with one foot on the accelerator (not gas as it’s electric) and an eye toward the future, this is more than a leap in technology. It's a redefinition of the journey itself.
The road to Fort Worth was just the beginning. The road to tomorrow? It’s already paved in code and cruising at “70” miles per hour.
To test drive for yourself, check out the nearest Tesla dealership at 9420 College Park Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77384, or at Market Street in The Woodlands.
TESLA SAYS THE FSD SYSTEM IS CONSTANTLY VIGILANT, NEVER DISTRACTED, AND RESPONDS TO THREATS IN MILLISECONDS.
USING THESE TIPS YOU CAN MAKE A DELICIOUS HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE.
A good barbecue sauce is comprised of a variety of the same six components. The key is to discover what style you enjoy most, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Oh, and taste often during the preparation process to adjust if so desired.
SOMETHING SWEET
This can be honey, cola, molasses, preserves, brown sugar, or syrup. This caramelizes as you cook, bringing those smoky, sugary flavors.
SOMETHING TANGY
Think vinegar, mustard, or citrus. This is what brings the zing to your sauce.
SOMETHING SPICY
This provides your heat: a hot sauce is a great choice. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/2 teaspoon for every cup of sauce you’re making.
SOMETHING LIQUID
It can be beer, water, chicken stock, soda, or wine. Start with about 1/2 a cup and see what happens.
SOMETHING TOMATO
You’ll most likely use ketchup, but you can also use tomato paste.
THE SPICE COMBINATION
This can depend on your liking and taste and can include anything from onion powder to garlic powder to chili powder to allspice to cayenne pepper to mustard powder to liquid smoke to cumin to Worcestershire sauce and more. Start with a teaspoon of salt, and keep tasting as you experiment with your desired spices.
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 5 tablespoons brown sugar
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
• 1/2 tablespoon ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.
