Episode 170 - Little House, Big Lessons, and Bunny Trails
2w ago00:51:34Tap to summarizeThis week, Hannah and Barbi settle in for one of those conversations that reminds you why slowing down is sometimes the best part of the week.They celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary, reflect on the sweetness of Roger Henderson's funeral and the legacy he left behind, and talk about why hometowns have a way of staying in your heart no matter where life takes you.Along the way, they discuss working near the Daytona Speedway, compare the new and old Little House on the Prairie, swap favorite library book finds, and spend some time talking about social media. It's a good reminder that what we see online is usually someone's highlight reel, and that a little kindness in the comments can go a long way because we never really know what someone else is carrying.As always, the conversation takes plenty of bird walks and bunny trails, but that's part of what makes it feel like you're sitting at the table right along with them.
