[@jamescook2115]

Wonderful show guys! Cherish your older relatives, they won't be around forever and you will miss them greatly when they are gone.

[@Haydenalabamapodcast]

We agree! Thanks for listening!

[@danielhuff1397]

They're a deep well of family history. Precious memories; How they linger!

[@DonnaHolder-n8o]

So refreshing to listen and not worry about bad words or nasty stories! Praise the Lord!

[@Haydenalabamapodcast]

Amen! Thank you for watching.

More people need to hear how Christmas was back before we spoiled our children. I remember my grandfather saying the best present he ever got was an apple, an orange and a penny. So one year when my children were small, that’s what they got in their stockings. Just so I could tell the story. Merry Christmas and I love your show. Thanks

Fellers, I really, really enjoyed this podcast. Listening to those stories brought back a lot of memories for me. When I grew up, it was much like that. The walnuts, the fruit, everything was very similar. It really took me back to my childhood. Thank you so very much ❤ for this show. Merry Christmas to y'all, and may God bless.

What a pleasure to listen to. My father had a country store and his customers would come on Christmas Eve and get a half case of oranges, a half case of apples with an assortment of nuts. I didn’t realize that that’s all their kids got. Merry Christmas

I grew up in a Northern California English Walnut orchard on Walnut Ln. English Walnuts are a different ballgame. After the first rain in the fall around October 1st they fall off the trees clean. My dad had a 20 ft aluminum pole with a hook on it and you grab a high branch and shake the heck out of the tree and every walnut would fall. Then we would dry them and crack them and we had walnut pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Which is the same as a Pecan pie except with English Walnuts.

[@Haydenalabamapodcast]

Thank you for sharing! I have never had the chance to eat a walnut pie but bet it is delicious.

[@Lisa-f2c]

I'm about 20 yrs older than you guys. My parents are 90. They still love talking about the simple, silly, and sometimes stupid things they did. Good stuff!

My dad is 84 and he has always said that black walnuts was the best thing there were for getting rid of ring worm. Your show is the only other time I have heard this. We live your shows. Just like growing up in the holler I grew up in and that my family still owns.

[@Haydenalabamapodcast]

What you added makes 2 for me! Thanks for sharing and watching the show.

[@randyhensley150]

Born in ‘61 and I remember getting a store bought stocking full of fruit and nuts for Christmas. They were a plastic mesh like you would buy fruits and vegetables in today. I was fortunate to get toys for Christmas but I’m sure the stockings of fruit were in remembrance of my mother’s and father’s Christmas’ when they were young. They frequently only got fruit and a pair of shoes.
