With all the headaches happening with airlines, airports, and summer travel lately I figured we need nice feel good airline stories anytime we can get them.
Like this 86-year-old woman from Boston, Bette Nash, who just set a world record as the longest-serving flight attendant ever! She got hired back in 1957 when plane tickets were hand written and only cost $12. (I don’t even think you can buy a bottle of water for that price nowadays). 65 years later she’s still up in the skies going strong in the aisles for American Airlines. She says she has no plans to retire anytime soon.
Love it. Go Bette!

Those pesky stickers that are on your fruits and vegetables when you guy them at the grocery store… are they edible?
They are in fact! As long as you wash them properly like you wash the skin itself they can be consumed. The glue they use to stick them on is actually regulated by the FDA.
Now, I wouldn’t go eating them every time but the point is even if you do accidently eat some of it… totally okay.

To help celebrate the holiday weekend, The Anna & Raven band wants to perform a classic Americana song! Can you guess what it is?

What’s the longest road trip you’ve ever been on? Anna has a 13 hour trip coming up, but that’s nothing compared to how long Raven drove once! (:15)
