Summary

This is an extra long episode, so you may want to grab a snack before you listen. Melanie and I talk about the recent death of my mother-in-law, Martha, as well as her very joyful funeral this past Monday. Naturally we discuss Melanie's time in College Station (can y'all even believe that she went to College Station?!), and I share about some potato chips that may have changed my life a little bit.

Also, we kick off this year's Holiday Gift Guide as we offer some suggestions for teenagers / college kids, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Needless to say, there are a lot of links, so be sure to stretch your clicking finger.

Hope you enjoy!
