Hey there, welcome to Woe That's Good. I hope you're having a great Monday. Your week is off to a great start. It's about to get a lot better because I have some amazing guests here, right here on the couch with me. And some people that I'm going to introduce you to today, one person you know well, and that's Mamma Joe. Mamma Joe is, you're getting to be a regular here on this podcast, right? Well, it's not bad. I kind of like it. Good. You're welcome any time, I promise you. Actually, I was talking to Sadie last night about getting to do this. And she was like, I'm kind of jealous. I wish I were getting to do this, have this conversation. But she'll get to listen to it along with all of you. And just learn from these women. I am so excited to have you all on here. So this was inspired by last week. I got invited to y'all's lunch, your normal lunch that y'all do often, but every year for everybody's birthday, you go to a special place for lunch, and I get invited.

And a lot of times I can't come because I'm out of town or whatever.

But for this one, I got to come, and it was Aunt Carol's birthday last week and I sat there among all these

amazing women and just left so inspired and encouraged and excited about getting older. I have to admit

there was a time in my life when I think I was a little bit nervous about getting older, but watching

all of you and how you have done life and your friendship and your relationships and all of that just has been so inspiring to me

and makes me not fear getting older anymore because y'all are just doing it so well and so

beautifully. And so we want to learn from you today. Thank you, Corey. So thank you for being here.

So first of all, let's just start off by telling

everybody your name and a little bit about yourself. We'll start with Aunt Carol over here and

kind of work our way around the couch. Well, I'm Carol Durham, Aunt Carol. I just turned 81 years old

last month. I was a teacher for 39 years and I taught a lot of Corey's kids. I have one daughter.

Unfortunately, she lives in Atlanta. She used to live in Jackson, which was a very workable

distance to travel to see her. Atlanta's not so workable, although we just got back from a trip

last week to see her and her family.

She has two daughters, so I have two granddaughters that are my pride and joy, even though

they're far away. We sometimes FaceTime or yesterday, the youngest one was watching the Auburn game,

and she was FaceTiming with her grandpa discussing different plays and that's kind of fun that we can keep in touch that way.

Yeah, so thankful for the FaceTime technology.

Yes.

Something we didn't have when you were young, Corey.

That's right.
