I remember my dad picking up people thumbing. The 70s and 80s were more trusting and more free somehow. Any parent would take you home from school if you needed a ride. No cell phones in the whole wide world. Great story. Thank you for taking time out of your life to read to us. Have a good weekend. Baby soon… 🤞🏼
The thing that stood out for me is how this section illustrated how you shouldn't judge people. Jesse assumed these students would be like the ones in Lonesome Valley, but they weren't.
I loved the idea of him cleaning the grounds and the school with his helpers, pride of place. I also wish I had a memory like that! Thank you for reading Tipper.
This was something I had to learn quickly. Never assume that your new job will be like your last one. This was so good I played it out loud on my phone. My dad and son were silent the entire time. Right when you stopped the reading, I paused. Immediately they were both full of questions that I had to explain. I think you just earned a couple more fans 😂😂😂
I just love this book so much Tipper. Thank you for sharing it with us and for reading it to us. You could be a professional reader for audio books. You’re great at it and your voice is so calming. Have a good weekend. Stay cool. Be well & take care.
Today's reading is a great example about looking at ourselves, and the values of life. How we're sometimes guilty of judging others because of a person's appearance, what they drive, and even where and how they live. Knowing we are not to judge anyone at all. I'm a day behind on catching up on videos. I was so absorbed in today's reading. So many differences between those days and now. Thank you for sharing these great stories Tipper. I love that you read them while sitting outside in your yard or on your porch. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄
It’s amazing 5 years out be a jack of all trades. Life was so different back when. I could actually see the silver ribbon as he was describing the valley and great clear description of Budcus grabbing the air as he walked . I instantly thought of REO Speed wagon as well. I love them. Thanks for the story time. Brooks Oregon
Even though I am older than Tipoer her reading aloud to all of us reminds me of when I was in elementary school our teachers would read to us in the afternoon right after lunch and recess. It settled us down and the books contained on each reading if I remember correctly.
I like that he just mentioned his years between teaching in a very descriptive way before getting back on about his actual teaching. About picking people up. My dad and his best friend were coming back from an Auburn football game and picked up a guy thumbing. He made a mistake of pulling a pistol on the these two country gentleman who offered him a ride. Dad grabbed his gun and he was thrown out of the car while still moving and the gun was thrown from the window further down the road. That was mine and my brother's lesson on why not to pick up hitchikers.
@@CelebratingAppalachia Both my dad and his friend Jim were just over 6 ft tall and WWll vets so had no problem dealing with this guy. Sure did make me cautious.
Love this story Miss Tipper. Given Budge's physical description I thought about the neurological conditions that afflicted this young man. I too laughed at the mention of the REO Speedwagon bus and I immediately thought of the rock band. I am hooked on this story. Thank you for giving your time to read to us each week. God bless and keep you and your family,..
Tipper, my mom turned 82 yesterday, and like you, I sometimes worry about my memory. My mom, on the other hand, can tell you the whole family's schedule. Thank you for the reading. I'm enjoying the book.
REO Speedwagon, one of my favorite bands and the origin of my favorite brand of car. the band did take their name from the Automobile i am loving this book very much.
My grandmother was a young widow in World War II. She traveled for her work and would tell me stories about picking up soldiers, and she said it never occurred to her to be afraid. I forget things all the time as well Tipper 🤷🏼♀️🫶🏻
I love REO Speedwagon as well. I saw them in concert back in the 80s in high school. When I heard you read that part, that band was my first thought. I started wondering where they got their name from. I just had to pause the story and find out. Turns out one of the band members saw it written on the blackboard in one of his college classes, The history of transportation was the name of the class. It was a delivery type of truck from 1915. I can add that to my big stack of bits of information that I will probably never need unless I get to be a contestant on a game show someday. 😂 Thank you for reading to us again. I truly look forward to these times on Friday night to just sit back and relax.
Oh Tipper, I so appreciate your reading to us. I can sorta lose myself in the stories. Grief has affected me terribly. Father's Day was hard, but Larry's birthday is coming up on the 26th. My heart is just breaking. Thank you & the girls for y'alls prayers. I remember helping my son with his homework one time. It was ALL wrong!! He was so upset with me that he told me I'd never help him again!! Lol! He was always a straight A student and I guess he didn't want me to mess that up for him!! His teacher let him redo that homework and he aced it! Guess I'd been out of school way too long!! I really enjoy your reading so much! Your voice is so comforting and I love the books you come up with to read!! God bless y'all always! Hugs from VA! ❤️🩹
Hey Tipper, my favorite part was with Budge. And like yourself, I always wished for a photographic memory too. But then I think, be careful what you wish for. Although I find those people very fascinating. Have a good weekend, and I love y'all.
Fun fact: some of one side of my family is from a place called Wytheville (pronounced with-ville .. close to what you read) Va. On my Moms side are the Stuart's, on my Dads side the Anderson's .. I live fairly close to a place Called Winston Salem, everyone calls it "Winston"! Oh, and I have a Jessie in my family too! I couldnt help but get a giggle out of this weeks reading, it was almost like they were talking about my own people. Thank you for sharing, Im really enjoying it!
Hi Tipper, I thought the same thing about REO Speedwagon😅. It looks like Jessie is going to have his work cut out for him at this school. I still marvel at his descriptive writing and all the different jobs and such that he's done over the years since Lonesome Valley. I can't wait to find out what happens next week.😊❤🙏🏻
Starting with my great great grandmother they had a long history of healing. They handed a lot down to her. For instance to scorch a white cotton rag on the wood stove or even just a burner on the stove which was permeated with menthol or in later years vicks salve appled to the chest worked wonders. She told me that Mullen and cherry tree bark she had been told by them was one of the best medications ever for a cough and cold. She also had a recipe of 80 proof Georgia moon, rock candy, lemon, and honey that you took a spoon full of that would break up pulled and congestion. Almost forgot 2 ounces of glycerin per pint. It has to be syrupy.
My dad graduated from Normal School in 1931 and got a job for the 31'-32' school year, teaching grades 1-8 in a rural one room school in Northwest Wisconsin. It paid 80 dollars a month plus room and board. He'd stay one week with one family and another family the next. The depression was really starting to deepen all over the country. The following year, 1932-33 a girl under bid him for half the salary. He finally found work in a Ford garage for 50 cents A DAY. All of that money went to his folks for room and board. He said that his dad, a blacksmith, was often paid in farm produce to repair machinery or shoe horses, on the barter system. Grandpa even paid his city and county taxes by repairing their machinery. No one had money. Dad said that in the 1920s the wolf never got to the door, but in the winter of 1932-33, she came in, laid down behind the stove and had pups. We have it so easy today, by comparison . Love y'all.
I had some teachers that really tried to help all students but I also had teachers that only taufgt the well to do.They passed kids on thru 8 grades and some could read maybe 2nd grade level or couldn't fill out a simple job application.
I wish he had talked more about Lincoln Memorial University because it’s right down the road from me and my two sons attended there. I don’t mean to correct you but “Wytheville” is pronounced as if it were spelled Withville. That’s another place I’m familiar with here in southwest Virginia. I’m sure enjoying this book.

Not true, there were a lot of serial killers during that time

He is such a descriptive writer you can almost smell the rain and hear the thunder thank you Tipper God bless ❤
As always enjoyed your reading.
The worn down school buildings arouse sympathy for this wonderful school teacher. This book is a WINNER in Descriptive writing !👏👏👏👏👏
This story just keeps getting better.
I loved the idea of him cleaning the grounds and the school with his helpers, pride of place. I also wish I had a memory like that! Thank you for reading Tipper.
Thank you Tipper. Such an interesting story. 😊
Another great read, thankyou Tipper. God Bless.💚&🙏🙏/s for All. Jean

Also Tipper, you're very intelligent. Please don't worry about that.
I used to hitchhike everywhere and yes we called it thumbing. Jesse is a fascinating character and I'm enjoying the book.
This story is so interesting and I can’t wait until the next reading!

That's a fond memory of mine too from elementary school. Plus my mom always read to me too when I was little.

I'm happy he decided to continue teaching and got more of a challenge than he expected... Enjoying this book immensely! Thanks Tipper 🤗❤️
Thank you so much for reading this wonderful book to us. I've been looking forward to Fridays just for this! Much love and God bless you and yours.

Enjoyed ❤

I love this book , my mothers first teaching job was in a one room school that only lasted one year before it became part of a ISD .
I really liked this reading and had a feeling he would go back to teaching. Can’t wait for next Friday! ❤
Well Tipper I must confess I’m addicted to the pineapple outshine popsicle !
REO Speedwagon, one of my favorite bands and the origin of my favorite brand of car. the band did take their name from the Automobile i am loving this book very much.
I’m loving this book! I ordered one for my Mother. I think she will really enjoy it too! Thanks Tipper!😊Regina
Enjoying this series! I’m from Northeast TN and we always heard it pronounced WITH-ville.
Yes! Yes! I love this book💖💖
My grandmother was a young widow in World War II. She traveled for her work and would tell me stories about picking up soldiers, and she said it never occurred to her to be afraid.

Thank you Debbie! I'm still praying for you. I can't imagine how you miss him!!
Still loving the book.
I sure was hoping he would return to lonesome valley. But now I can't wait to hear what happens next.
I can understand the hitchhiker aspect. I hitched from northern Virginia to south Florida and back.
Hey Tipper, my favorite part was with Budge. And like yourself, I always wished for a photographic memory too. But then I think, be careful what you wish for. Although I find those people very fascinating. Have a good weekend, and I love y'all.
I was waiting for Friday
I have been waiting...
Im so curious about the description of Budge . The eye shape and the hand movements when he is standing or walking ???? Savant, possibly?
Fun fact: some of one side of my family is from a place called Wytheville (pronounced with-ville .. close to what you read) Va. On my Moms side are the Stuart's, on my Dads side the Anderson's .. I live fairly close to a place Called Winston Salem, everyone calls it "Winston"! Oh, and I have a Jessie in my family too!

Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia it’s not much but it’s all I can do love u
@@debbeasher-k4764 You do so much for us and its much appreciated!!
I used to ask my children what grade "I" made on a paper of project. Lol
😊
I had some teachers that really tried to help all students but I also had teachers that only taufgt the well to do.They passed kids on thru 8 grades and some could read maybe 2nd grade level or couldn't fill out a simple job application.
I think you have a new grandbaby. 💙
I wonder who had inspired the character: Budge Waters.
I wish he had talked more about Lincoln Memorial University because it’s right down the road from me and my two sons attended there. I don’t mean to correct you but “Wytheville” is pronounced as if it were spelled Withville. That’s another place I’m familiar with here in southwest Virginia. I’m sure enjoying this book.
Thank you!!
What jumped out to me is how much I hate the story telling ending each week.
😊
Hahaha, what she ^^^^^^^^^^ said. TeresaSue
Tipper Wytheville is pronounce withvill or if you are from the area it's wiffle
Thank you!
Ummm....we didn't have a playground in high school...
Tipper, is it better to listen to these in the order you have read them; in other words, are they chronological?
I think so but you’d likely enjoy them either way it’s a great story!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thanks, Tipper.
