Ah Miz Magnolia, you bring joy to the ol’ Sam Drew. He’d appreciate some good eatin’ fixins , some cold cold lemonade and an apple pie too. Happy trails…
You should use “into” when it’s a question of location, for lack of a better word. “I went into the store,” “We went into the field of computer science,” “We drank well into the morning,” etc..
“In to” just happens sometimes. “I went in to buy some milk.” In that sentence the “to” is part of the infinitive “to buy.”
If you aren’t sure which one to use, change the “in” to “in order” and see if it still works. “I went in order to the store” is wrong, but “I went in order to buy some milk” is good.
Non conoscevo la celebrazione. Sono andato a post con questo titolo e vide il cocomero ma nulla da dire o simili. Ha visto anche la bella donna. Lei è probabilmente più dolce l’anguria!

Turning up the heat to reach home. Both cowboy and horse need to be doused with water. 😉

Reminds of running around in lawn sprinkles in the summer.

Living in AZ I know how Old Sam Drew feels. Yesterday the temperature in our yard reached 123 degrees. Really!

I think I’d fall over dead with that. The only heat I like is the Miami Heat basketball team.

You aren’t supposed to ride “into” the sunset. Just “in to”
