The people you refer to as “uneducated hillbillies” are the men and women building back roads and bridges while you wait for someone else to do it! The people you call “dumb rednecks” are the men and women rescuing families with nothing more than a rope and maybe an ATV! The people you like to refer to as “inbred” are the men and women making sure that their “cousin kissing” neighbors have food, clothing and anything else that they need! So the next time you’re on your “mountain vacation”, getting away from your PhD city jobs, mumbling snide comments, just remember: Mountain folk get things done, while you wait on someone with a skill set that you don’t have, to do it! THIS IS A COMMUNITY! THIS IS THE MOUNTAINS! ❤️❤️❤️

I grew up dirt poor and we had limited means in which to fill our table, and cupboards.
Pinto beans with saltine crackers or left over biscuits . . . sometimes it was macaroni salad and ONLY macaroni salad because it had a lot in it, and would last for days . . . I remember dad taking me to the company store in Maben, WV where he'd get bologna (pronounced baloney for you non- hillbilly people lol) that had to last a while.
My wife and I both work and we can go out to eat on a regular basis, but you know what? A baloney sandwich on white bread, with mayo tastes better than a New York strip at some suit and tie joint 😋
Food isn't about the "fancy," food is about that wonderful feeling you get, and the memories it brings to your heart ♥️

Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves), missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new film in one of the clubs in New York. He waited patiently in the rain to be let in. No one recognized him. The club owner said: "I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to be let in - he didn't say anything to anyone." "He travels by public transport". "He easily communicates with homeless people on the street and helps them". - He is only 56 years old (September 2, 1964) - He can just eat a hot dog in the park, sitting between ordinary people. - After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skill. - He gave up most of the fee for the salaries of costume designers and computer scientists who draw special effects in "The Matrix" - decided that their share of participation in the budget of the film was underestimated. - He reduced his fee in the film The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino. - Almost at the same time his best friend died; his girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister fell ill with leukemia. Keanu did not break: he donated $ 5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to shoot (to be with her), and created the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant sums from each fee for the film. You can be born a man, but to remain one ... ❤️

"Today, I decided to fill up someone’s car with gas. I stopped at the first gas station near my coffee shop – but for some reason no one showed up. I decided to pick up my coffee and then stop at the gas station near my house.
This gas station has 12 pumps – I stopped at the first pump and waited for a bit but everyone was already filling up their car with gas. Then I decided to drive my car to a different pump and I said I’ll wait for a minute and see what happens.
Then…..this beautiful soul…parked her car behind mine. I looked at her and smiled – she smiled back. I thought: That’s a good sign 🙂 - she seems nice.
Then I went to her and here’s how the conversation went:
'Hi Ma’am……(the lady was surprised to see someone by her car so she kind of panicked…then smiled)
Then I said to her: 'I know I sound so weird….but can I buy your gas?'
'What? Why???' (her eyes grew wide)
Me 'I just want to be kind…I’m dedicating this month to kindness.'
Woman: 'are you sure???'
Me 'YES! I REALLY WANT TO!'
Then the lady brought both of her hands into prayer and looked up to the sky and said: 'THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU GOD!' and she began crying at the gas station….then she moved from hugging me to crying …back and forth….so many times….
She said, 'I just called the bank and I only had 10 dollars in my account. I have been helping my mother out because she's sick and it’s been so hard for me financially.'
We kept hugging, crying and laughing…..I was her miracle and she was mine. She opened my heart and gave more meaning to my life."

This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it

Two old men are sitting in a bar.
One of them looks at the other & says
“You look familiar… where you from?”
The second old man replies “Ireland”
The first old man looks astonished & says
” No way I’m from Ireland myself, what a small world!”
The second old man then looks at the first “What city?”
The first old man says “Dublin?”
The second old man looks astonished
“No way I’m from Dublin meself! What a small world.”
The first man looks at the second old man “What school you go to?”
The second old man replies
“Saint Mary’s class of 89”
The first old man is absolutely baffled
” NO WAY Saint Mary’s class of 89 myself! What a small world!”
At this point, another man comes into the bar & says to the bartender
“Hey, Joe! Anything interesting going on?”
The bartender says
“Not really… but the Murphy twins are drunk again.”

I just had my faith in humanity restored on a Monday morning! I walked into Tim Hortons in Fergus, Ontario, and there was this adorable little boy, probably around 4 or 5, who saw an older gentleman and just stopped, staring at him in awe. He thought he was Santa!
The older guy looked down, smiled, and asked if the boy had sent his letter to Santa yet. The boy said no, but he planned to do it tonight.
Then Santa told him to be nice to his mom and sister because he was watching. After that, he said goodbye and mentioned he was heading back to the North Pole to finish up the toys with the elves.
Honestly, everyone in the restaurant got a bit teary-eyed, including me! It’s nice to know there are still some amazing people out there.

"This is addressed to those who don't want to rent apartments to people with dogs and also to those who won't rent houses to them:
I can't take my dog to the beach for a walk because it bothers you on your vacation. You also won't let me rent a house if I have a dog, and I can't bring my dog on public transport either.
However, I can take my dog through the rubble to find you after an earthquake, into the forest after you got lost in the mountains without a map or GPS, under the snow because you went off-piste despite the prohibition, into the water because you swam despite the red flag, and anywhere else you might need because, in the end, it's just a dog... but it will find you.
Dedicated to all those who don't love dogs."

"This is my ex. This right here is more valuable than gold.
This is a man who doesn't pay a dime through the state because when my son needs new clothes, I just call him.
This is a man who buys a bundle of kids' movies on Vudu so even I can enjoy them with my son in my own home.
A man who drops off the $45 box of pull-ups at my front door so I don't have to load my son up and go to the store.
One who takes his son in on 10 minute notice, far more often than he should, because I have too much to get done or just need a nap.
This is a man who listens to me cry because I'm stressed out.
This is a man who tells his son not to forget mommy's boyfriend when he lists his favorite people off the top of his head.
A man who rushes over because we got locked out of the house, or spends his evening fixing something for us.
This is a man who labeled the presents he bought his son from 'mommy' because mommy couldn't get him as many.
A man who still watches my sister's kids so our son can be with his cousins.
One who accompanies me to meet strangers from Craigslist to ensure we are safe.
This is the diaper-bag-wearing, chocolate-milk-making, selfless, protective, generous, accomplished FATHER to my son.
The amount of obstacles we've had to overcome to get to this point are tremendous. This was not easy; this was a choice. Stop giving excuses and come together for your children. I'm the most stubborn person I know and forgiveness came easy to us for the sake of our son. And because of that, I see my son every single day. We always welcome each other's presence.
In case I haven't told you lately, I'm grateful for you. Most importantly, for the motivated individual you are and how you provide Pierson with a phenomenal role model despite the foundation you once had. I love the amount of love my son will always have from you."

This is Sharon, my mother-in-law.
She taught me it’s important work to see someone for who they are and not what you expect.
When I first met my mother-in-law I had a hard time understanding her thick south Virginia accent. And she seemed a little bossy in that southern passive aggressive polite way. But I knew she was important to the love of my life, so I accepted her grudgingly as some of us do when family is forced on us.
After 5 years I still didn’t really know her.
When my wife got leukemia at 30. When our world was shattered and changed forever, Sharon very quietly and very firmly stepped into the role she was born for. She moved, with her dependent Vietnam vet husband, into our house and became Michele’s caretaker too.
Over the last two years she bought most of the groceries, cooked almost every meal, did most of the laundry and cleaning, drove both dependents to almost every one of the 300+ doctor appointments, sorted tens of thousands of pills, and made sure they were all taken on time at every hour every day.
And she did this when she herself was diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago. When she was getting a mastectomy. When she is going through chemo.
She hums when she works. She talks to herself when there’s no one to listen, and she goes about every day with humility and grace.
I took this photo before I left work this morning. She didn’t know I was there.
This, friends, is what greatness looks like in a quiet moment. Waiting on oatmeal to cook for her daughter for the 300th time since she got sick.
Not everyone gets to have a real-world superhero in their lives. And for this I am filled with gratitude every day.

Yesterday, the sweetest girl, Emerson, checked me out at my local Aldi, and she went above and beyond. Seeing that I was struggling with a cart full of groceries and my four-month-old baby, she didn’t hesitate for a second. Without me even asking, she jumped up to help and started placing everything on the table. (Let’s be real, I’m stubborn and probably wouldn’t have asked for help in the first place.🤣)

Emerson was incredibly patient and so kind! Lately, I’ve encountered so many grumpy, impatient people when things don’t go smoothly, so her help truly touched my heart. As a mom of two under two, her kindness brought tears of joy to my eyes and put a huge smile on my face. It’s the little things that can make or break someone’s day, and Emerson definitely made mine.

I just wanted to give her some special recognition and let her know how grateful I am for her help, patience, and kindness. Aldi has a true gem with her.❤️

In the cold winters of northern Europe, houses were difficult to heat, then some forgotten craftsman gave him a bed to build, almost like a closet, where to hide from the cold of the night, when the last chills of the family fire went out, real woodworking were these beds of one or two compartments, which from 16 for centuries protected non-claustrophobic Europeans from night ice.
The box bed, which originated in the late medieval period, appeared in different forms throughout Europe: there are examples from Britain, Scotland, Austria, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. In some places they were used until the 20th century, which makes sense when you consider the cold European winters and houses where the warmth came only from a wood fire. And even before electricity, people simply didn't heat their homes that much, so being cold outside also meant being cold inside.

“This Momma just cried in the middle of Target. We were at Target waiting on Grammi and we found some dinosaurs. Owen grabbed all 3 and we were trying to pick out which one he wanted when Owen abruptly yelled ‘HI’ at this older man walking past us.
He turned around and said ‘hey sweet boy’ he proceeded to play dinosaurs with Owen. With this crazy world we live in I was a little hesitant as to how close he was with Owen. The man got his wallet out and pulled $20 out, he put it in Owens pocket on his shirt and said ‘I just lost my 2 year old grandson last week. You take this money and buy this boy all three dinosaurs’ and rubbed Owens back, wiped his tears and walked off.
After Owen yelled ‘thank you’ the gentleman turned around and yelled boomer sooner! There is still some good in this world!”

In the summer of 1923, Frank and Elizabeth Fraser and their two-year-old dog set out from Oregon, Indiana, to visit family. When they stopped for gas at a service station in Indiana, the dog was attacked by other three dogs and fled.
They searched everywhere for him, but in the end could not find him. They returned to Oregon heartbroken, believing they would never see their beloved dog again. After losing all hope, one day their daughter saw a skinny and exhausted dog on the street that looked like Bobby. After his joyful reaction, it turned out to be the missing dog Thanks to the people who sheltered him during the journey, they were able to reconstruct the complete route he crossed.
To see his family again, he crossed almost 2500 miles (4,000 kilometers) in six months. He hiked across the Rocky Mountains in the middle of winter and ended up being nicknamed "Bobby the Wonder Dog." He was the inspiration for the movie "Lassie Returns".

Throwing away coffee grounds is the stupidest thing you can do. It is an invaluable help at home and in the garden,
Throwing away coffee grounds is a mistake, as they have multiple uses both at home and in the garden.
Coffee grounds, rich in potassium, act as a natural fertilizer, improve plant resistance and are excellent for compost.
Additionally, coffee grounds attract earthworms, benefit the soil, and repel pests such as slugs and moles.
At home, coffee grounds absorb odors and can be used to freshen the refrigerator and other areas, mixed with essential oils for a pleasant aroma.
They also serve to cover scratches on furniture, darken hair naturally, soften hands, and maintain the color of dark clothes in the washing machine.
One-Line Summary: Coffee grounds are a valuable resource in the home and garden, offering benefits as a natural fertilizer, pest repellent, and deodorizer.

My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night. A man came up to her and started talking to her. A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.” How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!
Side note: She felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know. She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there.💚 Thank you to the team at Starbucks on Staples and SPID in Corpus Christi.

Hope you pass the on so everyone can see Marks amazing tree. 🙂 "

Pulled into a rest area on I-15 northbound. A young family with three little boys and mom was 8 months pregnant. They were trying to make back home to Oregon. They were taking a picture of the boys sitting on a boulder next to my truck. The boys had never been that close to a big truck. I invited them in. They all got to blow the air horn, set the brakes and check it out.
Later in the evening, I took my dog for a walk. The family was going to sleep in their tiny car. They only had a few jello cups to eat and water from the drinking fountain. They were saving all their money for gas. I carry enough cash for emergencies. I went to my truck and gathered it up. I pulled the dad aside, told him to take his family to the next town and get a hotel. The next morning they were all standing on top of an over pass, just to wave at me.
A few months later, I received a letter in the mail from them. They named their baby after me.
