Apples, hoWhen Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he can't bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. But the trail is cruel -- first there's a river to cross that's wider than Texas...and then there are hailstones as big as plums...and there's even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. Those poor pippins Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddy's eye) is strong -- as young 'uns raised on apples are -- and won't let anything stop her father's darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil.
Here's a hilarious tall tale -- from the team that brought you Fannie in the Kitchen -- that's loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer.

Jacket is extremely large
Size: Medium, Color: Classic Light Wash
Runs big, the arms look and feel like they are from a MALE PATTERN AND STICK OUT LIKE IM A MALE BODYBUILDER. Back is very large , too much fabric… the entire jacket. It looked ridiculous on a woman.

Nice jacket but missing inner pockets
Size: X-Large, Color: Classic Light Wash, Size: X-Large, Color: Classic Light Wash
This denim jacket has a good color and design that's makes this noticeable when you do wear it.
The shape is like any other denim that's out there and the size is true to fit.
There front pockets with decent depth however there's no inner pocket which is a bummer as that's always a nice feature to have.
It's not the softest material but it denim and will be durable.

This jean jacket is super cute comfortable and I get a lot of compliments😍🤩
Size: Large, Color: Medium Blue Vintage, Size: Large, Color: Medium Blue Vintage
I absolutely love this denim jacket—it’s become my new go-to layering piece for everything from casual errands to date nights! As a busy mom who needs clothes that can keep up with my day without sacrificing style, this one checks all the boxes. The medium-wash blue denim has that perfect lived-in feel right out of the box, with just the right amount of structure while still being soft and comfortable against the skin.
The fit is fantastic—it’s cropped just enough to flatter without feeling too short, hitting right at the waist so it pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, leggings, or even flowy dresses. I love the classic button-front design and the chest pockets that add a touch of authentic detail without being bulky. The sleeves are nicely tailored too, with enough room to roll them up for a more relaxed vibe or wear them down for polish. It’s surprisingly versatile for all seasons: throw it over a basic tank or tee in warmer weather, or layer it over a cozy sweater when the evenings get cooler.
What really stands out is the quality. The fabric feels sturdy and well-made, with reinforced stitching that makes me confident it’ll hold up through countless washes and wears. No fraying or fading after a few cycles so far, which is huge for something I reach for multiple times a week. It’s also got a nice subtle stretch that moves with you, making it ideal for long days chasing kids or sitting at a desk. I’ve styled it with everything from sneakers and mom jeans for school drop-off to boots and a cute top for church or a night out, and it always elevates the look without trying too hard.
If you’re looking for a timeless denim jacket that feels fresh and modern, this is the one! It’s flattering on real bodies (curves and all), easy to care for, and instantly makes any outfit feel more put-together. I’ve already recommended it to several friends, and I can’t imagine my closet without it now.

Great jacket for the price!
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
The denim jacket has a nice relaxed fit without feeling too baggy and it looks great doing it. There's just enough elastic for the jacket to stretch a little without losing its shape. The color's accurate and it's hard to beat the price so I've no notes!
