Education was a luxury that many children could not afford.
I listen to this reading 3 times!!! I didn't want it to be over!!! I am enjoying this book so very much!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Wonderful! So glad you like it 😊
I love how you see God's hand in all the seasons. Love this story. Thank you for reading to us. I had a history teacher in junior high that taught everything in the book and we never had to open the book. He was one of my favorite teachers. He made it fun and interesting.😊😊
I remember reading this book as a young person. I’m from West Virginia and my high school home room and French teacher’s son married Jesse Stewart’s daughter so we learned a lot about him and his books.
My Grannie was born in 1926. My grand daddy was born in 1904. He passed before I was born. Grannies told me he made it to 4th grade, but I don't know how old he was. Grannies got to 6th grade. She had to stop when she was 11 as her mom passed during child birth and she had to raise her siblings until her daddy married again. While listening to this book, I can almost picture their childhood. Thank you for sharing.
I can imagine being your daughter when you read. I bet they were always begging you for just 1 more chapter. I know I certainly am! 😂😂😂 This is one of my favorite things of my entire week. Let's leave the work week behind and check in with Jesse and Lonesome Valley...or wherever he goes next. Ova was my favorite, hands down. He was an adult child looking for his purpose and Jesse showed him that learning could be it.
👏👏👏👏 So pleasing !! My favorite statatement "...the most awake school in the district ." The superintendent expressed an authentc approval !
Thanks Tipper for this wonderful story. Im sitting on the edge my chair. You have such the voice for story telling. I share you out with Mom and she absolutely loves Celebrating Appalachia . So thanks to you, Matt and all y'all for the hard work and effort y'all put forth. Lord bless y'all.
It was so descriptive. It broke my heart also when he told about some of the children not having shoes and their feet would bleed. Such a good book and I always enjoy listening to you read. 😃
Wisdom: A wise teacher makes learning a joy! I loved the games for teaching idea. We used that many times in the 17 years we homeschooled our daughters.
Thank you for reading to us. My favorite activity while choring is being read to. Better than the radio!
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey Tipper, I enjoyed this reading a lot. What I particularly like is you breaking it down at the end, letting us know what spoke to you. You really have a wonderful way of words and telling your thoughts. I was touched about him seeing blood in the snow from the moonshiners children, and buying them some shoes. I appreciate your family.
Thank you Tony!!
Sounds like an old fashioned cypher match. Educators play such a huge role in the development of a community. My wife taught school for nearly 30 years. She loved the job and the students loved her.
I hope that the kids got another good teacher once he left.
He really knew how to teach everyone...it seems public education took a wrong turn somewhere down the line. Anyway, I love the way he adapts to every obstacle and turns it into an opportunity... I just adore this book! Thanks Tipper 🤗❤️
The story made me so sad to think how hard life was for some people back then and how good we have it today.
We always say that same thing, at night when we watch Gunsmoke, no wonder folks died so young…times were so hard.
I felt such relief when I heard how the Superintendent reacted!!!! LOLOL Just had to put that here! Love this, thank you Tipper, as always. 🙌🏼 💞
Dear Tipper,
Thank you for another wonderful reading! I so agree with you about the winter landscape…….it has its own unique beauty. While some people see only the bleakness and starkness, I think the winter trees are lovely,……especially when they’re glistening with ice or heavy with freshly fallen snow after a big storm. Also, winter sunsets are amazingly vibrant in their deep colors of reds and pinks!
I don’t know if I told you, but I loved seeing Granny looking and sounding so well when you and she were walking in the gardens. May she continue to get stronger each day! God bless you, Tipper!
Love, Jackie🪷
I loved this book! Thank you for sharing it! So uplifting! I'm a 71yr. old who enjoys a good bedtime story that I don't have to read for myself now😊
Back when my oldest family members went to one or two room schools, if it was too far to go to the nearest high school, some students who truly loved school went to the eighth grade again and sometimes one or two extra times. There was sure some lovely language in this chapter. Thank you, Tipper!! Love AND prayers from Kentucky, Sandi.
I agree with you about the winter mountains especially with snow on the ground. You can see every fallen tree and the springs running through the hollers down to the creeks.
I am loving these stories ! I want to watch as soon as you post, but I make myself wait until Saturday morning. Listening to you is a great way to start a busy weekend.
It’s funny that whoever turned Jessie in to the superintendent actually did him a favor, with the superintendent being so impressed.
Prayers for y’all to have a great weekend….with maybe a 2nd little boy being part of it. ❤
Hi Tipper. As an educator for 40 years now (wow, that is scary!), I am certainly enjoying this reading. I also wanted to share some "words of wisdom." My granddaddy always said, "An empty wagon makes the most noise." This was quietly said to me when someone was bragging about themselves. I never felt that he was judging others. He used those times as teachable moments for me: let your actions speak for you and always be humble.
Love that! Thank you for sharing!
Loved this chapter Tipper.🙂 I smiled & cried. Thank you as always. (my Friday treat.) God bless you and your sweet family. 🙏🙋
Great book great reading thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm so hooked on this one.
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣👣
I could picture the kids & Teacher. What wonderful.❤🎉😊 description
Love this book. We are all so very lucky today and spoiled, but this was all they had. I can't wait for next Fridays reading. Thank you.

I had an older friend who grew up along the White River near DeValls Bluff, Ar. He remembered Harry Saul going to school in late November without any shoes. Harry started a minnow farm for fishing bait. It became a huge operation, so he never had to go without shoes again.
I just love his descriptions and writing his thoughts. I feel right there in the 😊moment with the story. And I enjoy listening to your reading.
Wonderful story! Thank you!
I've really enjoyed this story. I can't wait to hear more about Jesse's life. You certainly know how to choose good books to read. I've enjoyed every single one. Thank you, Tipper.
Listening to you reading is the best part of the entire week! We love this book!
I have waited all week to hear you read part 5. I am loving this book so much. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Loved this chapter! Love the whole book!
Thank you for your reading today have a blessed weekend . You and your family stay safe .
Jesse ignited a spark of learning in his students. Even though it may be the end of their formal education he had given them the tools they needed to continue learning and possibly helping their own children some day. I agree with you Tipper. There is a beauty in the stark winter landscape. It's just a different kind of beauty.
My Papaw was born and raised in the hollers of WV and didn't have his own shoes until 8 or 9 years old. He mined coal until he enlisted in the military, and eventually moved south.
Yes I remember woodman. Picnics dinners. Nice fellowship and insurance.😊
Thank you for reading 📖 I love listening to you cause you talk like me❤
😊
I was so happy to see, when you lifted the book, how thick it is. Many good Fridays to come. Thank you again.
I so enjoy listening to to you read and the stories you choose never disappoint ❤
I especially enjoyed your commentary on this chapter!
Love the story! Can't wait till next Friday.♥ from Michigan.
This was my favorite so far. I hope he goes back. But I will have to wait and see . So hurry up next Friday lol. Thank you Tipper.
I really enjoyed the different competitions between the different schools in the area and the descriptive way he told about the different seasons and I agree with you that it's not grotesque but beautiful in its own way.
I can't wait to see what happens next week.😊❤🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are such a good story teller Tipper. I’m enjoying this book with your reading so much. I wholeheartedly agree with you that the people whose school time was over still had a wonderful life to look forward to. Most of our lives are spent doing all the mundane activities of life with only a few really momentous times thrown in, but that doesn’t mean life Is not good. Working, raising your family and loving one another while you appreciate the small things in life has a lot going for it. At least I think so, lol. Have a fantastic weekend, TeresaSue.
All of the books you have chosen for Fridays readings have been excellent choices. Thank You.
Glad you like them!
Thanks. So interesting. He was a great teacher and motivator. Looking forward to the next reading.
Good book love your back ground everything is so pretty and green take care and God bless you all
I really love this book. Thank you for sharing.❤
I am loving this story❤
Just love your reading Tipper, thank you.
You are so welcome 😊
I am a retired teacher from Kentucky public schools and have read "The Thread That Runs So True" years ago. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you read it to us. In saying this was the end of their schooling, perhaps he was referring to the times in which they lived. The 8th grade was the last grade of school for many of the students. There were very few opportunities beyond the 8th grade in some of these areas described by Mr. Stuart. I still remember reading about a troublesome situation in the book, and I am waiting for you to get to this situation. Some of the parents were critical of Mr. Stuart's pants. It seems in walking to his school early in the mornings, the bottom part of his pants were getting wet from the dew along the path. In turn, this was discoloring the bottom part of his pants. As a result of his, some folks were a little gossipy. I will listen for your reading of this incident. All your activities of all your family has been a huge blessing for me!
Sad that Jesse is leaving Lomesome Valley but excited for his next journey. Great book!
I really love this book. Thank you Tipper 🤗
Loving this book
Thinking about children with no shoes is heartbreaking but was normal at that time
My kids had AR - 3 around the same age as the girls. Most books in the school library had an AR test so it didn’t discourage reading
The children had to get a minimum of points but there were prizes for increasing points
Love your reading Tipper. Thanks. Can't wait to see his next year
What a wonderful story so enjoyed thiis reading thank you Tipper God bless ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
When my parents where divorcing I out grew my shoes/I hinted at my parents that I needed shoes but the wouldn't hear me/don't remember when I finally got some /they also dint get me a coat or gloves for a time so I learned to warm up my hands like how you faith heal /I now have over 60 pairs of beautiful cute and comfortable European type foot wear and natural rubber boots/when its unusually warm here(in Alaska) in some winters I would walk bare foot between the snow patches in true Appalachian girl style/once a friend of mines husband gave me a gallon of honey from his bees and I danced barefoot in the snow while thanking him for it/LOL thanks for the good read!
Love your dancing 😊 Thank you!!
The class you are remembering was most likely Home Ec(onomics). I agree with your observation that there is a need for it to return to the curriculum.
Hi Tipper
I really enjoyed this chapter.
When I was 2 years old we had a very bad auto accident and my dad was paralyzed from the waist down.
My mom stayed with him in Kansas where he was hospitalized and I had to go stay with my grandma and school aged Aunt's and uncles. There was nowhere for me to stay during the day so I just went to school with them. There was no question from the country school about me being there because that was just the only solution. That was in 1951 in Foyil OK.
In 1967 my little sister went to Kindergarten and all of us other(3) went right along with her. The teacher loved having us. We entertained and taught the little ones as much as she did. We all three got awards for good citizenship for volunteering. Basically we had an ulterior motive....we got out of work and we got breakfast and lunch. Lol. That little certificate was my pride and joy. All my school years I have been called to go to help in other under classes if something happened with the teacher. I had a great time doing this and still kept my grades up.
Thank you for that wonderful story.
Thank you for sharing that!
@CelebratingAppalachia you're welcome. Back then sometimes people just did what had to be done.
Yep I got quite a bit done inside while you were reading that... It is most definitely a hot one today!
Thanks again, Tipper. Always enjoy your story reading. You look nice all of the time but I really like your top today.
thank you 😊
Yes I did very much so,thank you for the story ❤
You are so welcome 😊
I guess I’m in the minority because I agree with Jesse about winter being grotesque. It is beautiful when covered in a blanket of snow but otherwise it looks bleak and dismal to me. Because of this, my favorite season is Spring. The earth comes back to life.
I’m enjoying listening to your reading this book. I look forward to each Friday.
So glad you like the book 😊
I so enjoy this book!!!
That was so good, thank you, Tipper !!!
I remember reading this book years ago. I loved it back then, now I am enjoying listening to you read it. I need to find another copy of it because the one I had years ago has somehow developed legs and walked away because I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks so much for reading for us. I'm really enjoying this book. And you look very pretty today !
Oh thank you 😊
This book is awesome
Dear Tipper I loved listing tonight. You read so beautifully ❤
This is my favorite video every week. ❤ I love you and your family. I pray for you, Matt , Corie and her baby. I pray for Granny, Katie and little Ira.
Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed this like all the rest
Tipper, I still have my WOW American History Award from my senior year of high school in 1981. Small world.
😊
As a youngster Tipper my mum sent me for elocution lessons to a speech and drama teacher who lived near hand to where we lived. I remember her as an excellent teacher, and like the teacher in the story, made learning fun. I learned all those rudiments for proper speech. But as a kid you don't want to stand out from your peers and look like you're something special, so it all came to nothing, to my mum's disappointment. But I was kinda glad as I look back now, why should you be ashamed of how you talk, colloquial language and dialect is important and shouldn't be wiped out by 'talking proper '. However it did give me a lasting love of reading, so it wasn't wasted money at the heels of the hunt.
Great reading, thank you Tipper.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I hated reading in high school and college. I had no interest in the books I had to read!
I love to read! The teachers need to make the books interesting.
Just read it!
My son and then his boys loved to read too, until they made it a 'chore' in school when they had to keep track and and read a certain number of books for points. It took the fun out of it for them, just like Corie and Katie. But they recovered too. It's kind of funny, how it affects kids differently. Some kids thrive on counting up their numbers of books. But it took the pleasure out of it for my boys. None of them are competitive so that might be it. If some other kids read more books than they did, it was okay with them.
The part about the shoeless children hurt my heart. Their daddy was trying to support them the best he knew how most likely. You could say it wasn’t right and I guess it wasn’t. Mountain people are proud though. They had rather earn their way than ask for help. I understand why Jessie got their shoes. My grandma Beat would use expressions that were old fashioned. She would say, “Now you don’t have to set me up for my Birthday.” That meant she didn’t need a party. Or maybe “I fell out after after I had my last baby late in life.” That means her health went down and she had high blood pressure after her last baby. I could definitely hear her using turning people down in that context. Your top is so pretty Tipper. I hope your menfolk have a nice Father’s Day.
Thank you Lori!!
Enjoyed ❤
This is a wonderful book! Thanks for sharing!😊Regina
Thank you so much!
Also, there was some I heard about who came near to or frost bite not wanting to miss school as there was a chance to win a free book if they did not miss one day back in those bitter winters.
This young teacher is like a "Doogie Houser" ❤
❤
Thank you Tipper, I needed your voice and the good read. Package didn't get sent, hopeful next, I will send a Gmail. God Bless.💚&🙏🙏'ers to all. Jean
No worries! Thank you Jean!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hello 🏵
🥰💕🥰
All the seasons are beautiful I must agree. I just knew that when the children played to learn they would win the contest. I could see the distressed feeling on Jessie’s face when his superior came in and sat at the back of the room. However I picture Jessie like Jonny Apple Seed traveling through the land spreading education. I can’t wait till Friday comes and you read to us again. I’m making peanut butter chocolate chip cookies 🍪 while listening to this incredible journey. Thank you Tipper. Happy Father’s Day Matt.
So glad you enjoy it 😊
I believe it was the Raven haired teacher crying to her boyfriend, and he went to the superintendent ! Just my opinion 😊
Sorry Miss Woods
It might have been her! I didn't even think of that 😊
Can we go 2 days a week reading lol😂😂
😊
This is my 1st time listening to this reading, what book is this, please? Thanks.
😊 The Thread That Runs So True by Jesse Stuart
Tipper, I have a question. What does "turned down" mean?
😊 in this instance he's using it to mean they won and the other student had to go sit down. I've never heard anyone use it that way before 😊
Is the print in this book very small?
It is fairly small in the copy I have. You might be able to find it in larger print 😊
Did you dress up the kids in a toboggan? Did you misspeak or is that an Appalachian term for a type of hat?
😊 we call a winter hat a toboggan or sometimes just boggan 😊
Lovely video ma’am !! 👍🏻🙏🏻.
