I love gifts that are super thoughtful like this.
This guy in Iowa retired last fall after spending 38 years as a firefighter. To celebrate his daughter wanted to do something really special for him. She decided to reach out to fire departments in all 50 states to send t-shirts so she could make a quilt for him as a gift. She posted it on her TikTok and the video went crazy viral. To the point that she’s already received over 100 shirts and other items.
She said the hardest part was trying to keep it a secret because of how much her story was getting shared.

As big of a holiday Easter is, most people don’t know how it’s determined which Sunday Easter will fall on each year.
Here is how they figure it out. It has to do with the moon. It always falls on the first Sunday AFTER the first full moon… AFTER March 21st.
A fun tidbit for this year is there will be PINK full moon this weekend. You can see if you look up in the sky tonight and tomorrow.
Happy Easter!

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I guess the saying is true in this story… to the tune of a few million dollars even.
A mechanic here in Connecticut named Jared Whipple came across multiple painting in an old abandoned barn in Watertown, CT back in 2017. He thought they looked cool and was going to just used them as art for a skatepark he was working on. But after doing some research and finding who the artists was he contacted the family. Apparently the original painter moved here to CT in 2016 and died when he was 96 years old. The family gave their blessing for him to keep the artwork.
Each piece is worth anywhere from $12k to $20k with the whole collection topping out over a million dollars he estimates. Jared said he will keep a few for himself, but will be displaying the rest of the collection at a special art show in Southport May 5th-June 11.
