“Just trying to encapsulate the respect that I have for how hard my dad worked.”

One of the cool things that I decided to do is, um, on all my dad's blue chambray work shirts, they had pockets on them, and he used pockets for everything -- to carry a pen, and he would always have a little notebook in that pocket. And what I've decided to do with that pocket is I cut them off and kept them all, and am sewing them onto each of the quilts. And inside each pocket as I decide who the quilt is going to I'm going to be searching for and printing photos of that person with my mom and dad. So either your -- a parent or a grandparent. And put their photo in the pocket specifically for them with, um, yeah, their -- their grandparents or, or their grandpa. And I think that's going to be really cool. I'm also hoping to write a little poem or note just trying to encapsulate the respect that I have for how hard my dad worked all those years on the farm, and, um, what that has meant to our family and our legacy. So that's the pocket part of the story, and that was a sample of one that I was just experimenting with to make sure I could do it properly. So anyway, a pocket full of memories also included with each quilt.

“My grandma is a very competitive Easter egg hunter.”

But then the next morning, I did -- it was East- -- the day before Easter, I did a few Easter egg hunts. My grandma is a very competitive Easter egg hunter, and while I was going up picking eggs, she was like, "Go over there, go over there!" and when I wasn't going over there, she would just pick up stuff and stuff them in her purse. Oh, I have a funny story about this. Um, so that day we went to a place -- they said they were gonna have an Easter egg hunt at 1:30, right? So we get there at 1:10 and they say, "Okay. We've already done the Easter egg hunt. People were getting cold. So we just decided to do it." And so then, they offered us this free taffy candy. I can't have taffy. But then, so, my grandma -- so I was taking a few pieces and then my grandma was just like sweeping some into her purse, and then when she saw I looked like I was finished, she was like, "Take mo-" -- "Don't be shy!" because she wanted me to take more, and it was just a really funny experience and my mom still laughs over the situation. So yep, that was pretty funny.
