Jackson has no use for fussy spas, flowers or jewelry. Her jaw dropped a few years ago when her husband presented her with a long, nicely wrapped cardboard box that screamed long-stem roses. Inside was a new .22-caliber rifle, "perfect for packing around on my four-wheeler to help rid our ranch of pesky critters," she said. (AP Photo/Robbie Jackson)</p>
