When I opened my front door this morning,
0:02
there was a big old package out there,
0:04
and I told Eddie, I said, "It's probably from Michael."
0:07
He's probably ordered something for his man cave.
0:11
And Eddie brought in, he said,
0:12
"No, no, this is from our friend, Danna Standridge."
0:17
And I was at a book signing somewhere,
0:20
it may have been here, I can't remember,
0:22
but I'm all over all of our restaurants
0:25
doing book signings and meeting folks, and she brought me...
0:31
So I asked Danna, I said,
0:32
"Would you come do a show with me?"
0:33
She said, "Are you kidding? Yes, I would love it!"
0:36
And she and her husband came,
0:38
and she brought me a gift basket
0:40
that was nothing but Alabama products
0:45
that means so much to that state.
0:48
And her friends, her, Danna's husband,
0:53
he's political some way, isn't he, (indistinct)?
0:57
- [Eddie] I think he may have been
0:58
in the House of Representatives.
0:59
- House of Representatives, yes, her husband.
1:04
Well, Red Land Cotton saw the show,
1:09
and they got in touch with Danna and said,
1:12
"We'd like to send Paula something."
1:14
So I'm seeing this for the first time along with y'all
1:18
from Red Land Cotton, so let's see what all it is.
1:24
Eddie did the hard part for me.
1:26
He got that big old, strong tape down for me.
1:31
Oh, my gracious, Eddie.
1:35
(packaging crumpling) Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
1:41
I need some new sheets in the worst way.
1:43
You wouldn't believe me.
1:45
(gasps) Look at this, Eddie, look at this.
1:51
Oh my goodness, Danna, thank you for introducing me
1:59
- [Eddie] I don't know, will those fit my bed?
2:01
- [Paula] No. (laughing) - [Eddie] No? (chuckles)
2:03
- What size bed do you sleep on, a full?
2:06
- [Eddie] A twin bed. - That's not a twin bed.
2:08
(Paula and Eddie laugh)
2:11
All right, let's see what it says.
2:13
"Hi, Paula, greetings from Red Land Cotton.
2:16
"We're so thrilled to hear you loved the tea towel
2:19
"from Sweet Grown Alabama.
2:21
"We wanted to continue sharing our products with you.
2:23
"Please enjoy this new bedding and lounge wear," yeah!
2:28
"Made with love in the United States
2:32
"from cotton grown on our family farm in North Alabama.
2:36
"We are big fans of yours,
2:38
"and hope you love these new additions.
2:40
"Love Anna Brakefield and the Red Land Cotton Family."
2:46
Thank y'all so much. I hope these don't fit Eddie's bed.
2:51
(Eddie and Paula laugh) All right, what is this?
2:56
King-size pillow cases. That's what I need.
3:05
Oh, too bad, Eddie. It's a king-size sheet.
3:11
I hate that for you. (Paula and Eddie laugh)
3:17
Oh, now what is this?
3:21
Fitted sheet, the fitted king.
3:23
I can't wait to get those crappy sheets off of my bed
3:28
They won't stay on a mattress.
3:30
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
3:40
What does this one say? Is it Christmas?
3:44
- [Eddie] Jingle all the way. - Oh, yay!
3:47
We got some new Christmas tea towels, beautiful.
3:51
What does this one say?
3:59
- [Eddie] It's up, what does it say?
4:01
- Do I have it upside down? (laughing)
4:02
- [Eddie] I can't, I can't...
4:03
- It might help if I put it the right way.
4:05
- [Eddie] I'm reading it backwards.
4:09
"Oh, come let adore HIM."
4:10
- Oh, more Christmas, thank you, thank you.
4:17
And let's see what this one is.
4:21
"There's no place like home," I bet that's what that says.
4:24
- [Eddie] "There's no place like home for the holidays."
4:26
- Yay, oh, and you know what,
4:30
it's gonna be that time of year
4:31
before we can bat an eye, y'all.
4:38
Oh my goodness, I love tea- - [Eddie] Lounge wear pajamas.
4:44
- Oh my gosh, it's pajamas, but it's large.
4:50
- [Eddie] Maybe your Christmas pajamas.
4:51
- Yes, I hope that fits,
4:54
but I usually can't wear a large anymore.
4:57
All right, let's see, Red Land Cotton (indistinct).
5:03
But I don't know what it is.
5:05
Maybe it's a dish towel, dish rag.
5:08
Oh, look, now I've got two sets of pajamas.
5:15
This will fit you, Eddie. (laughs)
5:19
And what is this? Oh my gosh, Eddie.
5:23
- [Eddie] Wow. - It is a beautiful comforter.
5:28
How many times have I said,
5:29
"We need a new comforter on our bed?"
5:31
How many times have I said it?
5:33
- [Eddie] That's nice. - Oh gosh, come on ribbon.
5:40
I'm gonna have to just cut it, Eddie.
5:42
I don't have that kind of patience.
5:50
I don't have that kind of patience. This is so beautiful.
6:05
- [Eddie] Look at that, nice and soft.
6:06
- [Paula] Oh, oh well it was already torn, wasn't it?
6:08
It had a zipper. - [Eddie] Yeah.
6:10
You got it from the bottom? - [Paula] Yeah.
6:16
Theresa, look at this.
6:22
Oh, it's like Christmas. - [Theresa] Oh, that's pretty.
6:27
- It's so beautiful. I'm gonna have to go ahead.
6:29
I save these kind of bags with zippers,
6:33
but I tore it so I'm not gonna save it.
6:40
Oh my gracious, it's so heavy.
6:44
- [Theresa] Ooh, that's nice. That's beautiful.
6:48
- Is that not beautiful?
6:51
It reminds me of Martha Washington bedspreads.
6:54
- [Eddie] The old coverlets, yeah.
6:56
- Yes, and I love the Martha Washington look.
7:00
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
7:07
Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna,
7:11
thank you so much for this beautiful gift.
7:14
It really felt like Christmas, and I'm so glad
7:19
that I have a new friend in Danna and her husband.
7:23
They were just delightful. We had such a good time.
7:26
So I wanna send y'all love and best dishes.
7:31
I wish I had something to give y'all back
7:33
that would equal this, but I don't got nothing. (laughs)
7:38
But thank y'all so much. God bless.
7:40
Love and best dishes. It's beautiful.
