Sears and Moms!

[@SUZYRIDE]

Rob is so Sweet!!! 😇 OMG so many of the same back to school memories - yep the Sears catalog and ‘lay away’ at JC Penny’s- the only way my mom could afford to buy things with 6 kids.

[@user-qe6mm1il4u]

So sad your summer is over, went so fast!! Understand liking your students and co workers but you can just feel it's not the same. Hope you have a good year!! Thank you Rob for sending her out right!! Sears was so awesome back in the day, just don't see none of that anymore !! Looking at the catalog was like Christmas!! I remember mostly Walmart or actually Kmart, what we got was what we got, didn't even take us . But some new stuff. When I was young I always wanted a monkey, can't believe pawpaw got one. Heard they are crazy!! Looking forward to the next crockpot!!

[@aliciareyna4342]

Tina and Rob, Tony the chicken herder is hysterical. 😂😂😂😂❤❤

[@teresaslocomb362]

Tina we are at 100 degrees here in Mobile and have heat index108-110.I have been using my crockpot a lot not turning the oven on at all.just to hot. We don’t have a grill to much trouble for us I want to thank you so much you have helped my family without knowing it my aunt who is 73 and move here to be near us 4 years ago.she had a heart attack and major open heart surgery last year but was also diagnosed with breast cancer in March this year. We were terrified for her we watched your video together and am happy to report she has only 6 days of radiation treatments left. She has panic attacks every time she has to leave the house. We did not know how we were going to get through this your video gave her hope and helped to ease her fears. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. We watch all of Morrow Hill now God bless you girl. We love you.

[@Jackie-Verchot]

Oh my, I remember the Sears catalog having monkeys for sale…😂😂 I wanted one so bad. I think it was spider monkeys. Either PawPaw or sister Kim did a video about the shirts, it was so funny. Thank you for always making me smile. Love & blessings.

[@marlenedeal7124]

I don’t remember sears selling monkeys 🐒 and I’m 70 …maybe my folks didn’t want me to know about it 😂😂😂😂

[@lizregan1949]

Sears wish book as a kid. All the pretty baby dolls. On the back of comic books, they offered teacup monkeys I wanted one so much begged my Mom she said NO! Lol

[@celesteredding1550]

Yes, I remember that video of the matching fellas shirts😊. I knew it was getting time for my retirement when I felt tired of going to work & dealing with all the things it entailed & the commute. Now 2yrs later, I need a part-time job for finances & something viable to do, I can't do the stay at home thing. Sears used to be the big deal & everyone loved & bought from Sears. Happy 1st day of school 🏫 🎉

[@Grammadean5291]

Sears, Montgomery wards, and J.C. Penney’s, fond memories..

[@TinaandRobLivingOffTheHill]

Yes they were ❤

[@susanstadel8895]

I wore Levis from the kids department at Sears for 30 years and they were guaranteed. When they got a hole they were replaced 👍♥️🤣

[@doanahumphreys8372]

I remember the old Sears catalog and the J C Penny one. Whenever a new one would come in the mail, the old ones would be taken to the outhouse to be used for toilet paper.

[@michelesturtevant4187]

I was just talking to my husband yesterday about the Sears catalog. I loved it would spend a lot of time looking at it. I really miss Sears. I feel like all my childhood memories are disappearing.

Good afternoon, Tina and Rob. Can't believe how fast the summer went for you.

[@joycejones4526]

Tina! You are such an inspiration to all of us. You have just 2 years to retirement. You can do it. I bet you students are looking forward to seeing you. This might be the year you get that special child that you will make a difference to. My teacher Ms. Wolfe 7 th grade. With not much love and attention at home,Ms. Wolfe saw something in me and that star me on a different path. I felt like I had value for the first time in my life. My life has been amazing. " Find something good about every day."

[@TinaandRobLivingOffTheHill]

Thank you for sharing that with me. I love hearing stories of how a teacher really touched someone’s life. That is definitely what keeps me going, the kids.❤

[@cherieriles925]

My Dad was the Manager at Sears. EVERYTHING we had came from Sears! Everything!!! Great memories of going back to school shopping with my Mom and brothers. I understand how you feel Tina, being close to retirement. I am so ready. I work for the school system and have already put in my 30, but i added the 5 years of DROP. And then last year they changed DROP to 8 years, so i added the extra 3 😢. I’m a single parent of a disabled adult child, so i need the extra $$. But i am so so ready to be retired. This month Aug 24 would have been the end of my extra 5 years.

[@TinaandRobLivingOffTheHill]

Oh man, that is terrible! I’m glad you only have three more ❤

[@SusanPreston-nl1rt]

My grandparents built a Sears craftsman house in about 1935.

The Sears catalog...what a memory!! I would spend days looking and daydreaming over the Sears Christmas catalog.

[@janetlax776]

Great stories!! There are several Sears homes, still in towns in Illinois; a piece of history many probably are unaware. Tina, does your truck now have a name?

Rob and Tina AWWWWW what wonderful memories and loving stories. Made me remember something my son said to me over all I did for him growing up ... good memories you all. ❤❤❤

[@scannfamily4863]

Good morning Tina and Rob. Thank You for sharing your memories! Made me think about my grandma taking my sister and I school shopping. She would get all dressed up and she would show up at my mom's at 6 am waking us up telling us we're going to the mall shopping. We would head out for the hour drive to the mall. We opened the mall and they were shutting the lights off as we were walking out of the mall. Every year my sister and I had a whole new wardrobe. The trunk was full and the back seat was full. My Mom was a single parent, working two jobs and my grandmother always bought all our school clothes. We lost my grandmother when I was 16 to breast cancer. She did fight a long 18 months. I sure miss her 💔 We always purchased most of our clothes from Sears. Have a wonderful day. Much love from our family to your family 💞

[@robertbarger6244]

I'm ANITA: Hello "Sister" Tina and Rob. You both are such an adorable couple. So Nice for Rob washing you car for a New Start to Back to School. I feel like they take summer away from kids and they miss that time. Wished they would keep them getting out later in the Spring when we have lot's of rain. I'm going back and catching your Crockpot supper. What breeds of chickens do you have? Luv From Tenn. God Bless Y'all and God Bless All the Animals,

[@MaryLucas-qe1dy]

Good Sunny Morning from Pennsylvania That is so funny that you said The Real Housewives of Cleveland Texas because on Stephanie video when she took Lysaa ,Brie and Jami for her Birthday to a French restaurant ,They were all dressed up and of course Jami gets a flat tire ,Jake came to the rescue ,Brianne lost her wallet at the grocery store ,Stephanie almost ran out of Gas 😂,My comment was The Real Housewives Of Morrow Hill 😂.Have a wonderful School Year ❤.

[@vickidolph1581]

That Rob is such a genuine great husband and wonderful human!! You are equally as wonderful Tina!! You both have been raised well! I remember getting new school clothes. I’m pretty sure we would go to Hill’s Department store and put everything in lay-away ( is that even still a thing?) The hardest part was having to wait until that last payment was made but then it was like Christmas!!!😊 Though I did love getting new clothes, my favorite thing would have to be new school supplies!!! One thing that we didn’t buy new though was a pencil box. We used to go to the local drug store, where they sold cigars. They would give us the cigar boxes and to this day, I can still remember the sweet smell of them!!!🥰

Ahh that dang Sears catalog! I grew to hate it because my mom would always buy me polyester elastic waist pants for school instead of letting me choose my own.

In regards to the pork butt shoulder. The butt was a shipping container back in the days of sailing ⛵️ ships. So the correct way to think about it is a pork shoulder that came in a shipping butt. The meat industry just has not dropped the old way of naming the product. 💖

Good evening Tina and Rob. Chicken herding was so cute with Tony helping, chickens trying to keep up or get ahead of Tina beating her to the feed bowl. Rob becoming a big star being in commercials for the bbq company. Hope you had a great first day back to school. I tease Rob about being in a company commercial as I was in a back to school commercial for Sears when I was in Grade 8 and didn't even know it. We had seen the cameras outside of the school and couldn't figure what are they filming, so 3 of us nonchalantly walked in front of them. Just before summer ended and they started showing the commercial and people were coming up to us saying did you see yourself in the commercial. Nope not for quite some time. Little did I know Sears would be a place of employment for 16.5 yrs working in the catalogue call center. Loved it. Thanks for sharing the stories and memories. HAGN.

[@christineray5397]

Hard to believe that school is about to start already. I remember when school didn't start till after Labor Day, and ended with Memorial Day.

Hi there Tina & Rob. How great you are so close to retire. My last year went by fast. We were lucky, we only had to get school clothing for school. It's a shame there is a list of specific school supplies each student has to come to school with. Including expensive uniforms. The government should fund all schools for the supplies. Sweet Rob washing your truck. Good luck on your 1st day of school. Love to your family. ❤.

I have the same memory as Rob with the new school clothes. It was the 60's, so I always got a new pair of saddle shoes along with clothes. Mom would not let me wear them until school started. The clothes were neatly folded and laid on top of the box with the shoes. So every day I would go into her room, and admire my clothes and shoes and couldn't wait to wear them. Such a wonderful memory. Oh, and Tina, I also get attached to my cars and cry when I trade them in. hahaha I thought I was the only one. :)

I had to take a bus after school when in 1st grade to a daycare. There were two “teachers” at this daycare and they’d line us up and pick every other one for their class. One was awesome and one was abusive. I did not tolerate her long before I chose not to get on the bus. Stayed at school til my older sister got out and did life her way until we got home to chaos. My grandma quit her job for me once I told why I’d done what I did and wouldn’t be going back. I never forgot that. Sure do miss her😢

Good afternoon Tina and Rob and Tony. I love your family stories. As for Real housewives tv show and your lives no comparison. You guys are real and are not stabbing your 'friends' in the back and being people that you are not. As many people that grew up with struggles living paycheck to paycheck you take those values into adulthood. I listened to Paw Paw about past family stories but never talked about the day before school with pugs. Yes Sears was our go to and I think it stopped here in Canada 🇨🇦 less than 10yrs ago. Wishbone was fabulous. Jami received an old replica Seats catalog dating if not mistaken 100yrs ago and yep the stuff you could by there. Also what I found interesting besides medicine for all ailments in one and the description for it could be half a page long. Anyway I hope your first day of school goes well. Have a fabulous rest of day 😎❤❤❤
