Joanna Gaines Quote
We’d be walking downtown, and I’d hear, Chip. Hey, Chip! and I’d turn to see a person approaching us who, frankly, might have scared me if I was walking downtown by myself. Chip wouldn’t be scared. He’d know the guy by name: James! How’s it going, brother? It seemed as if every homeless guy in Waco knew Chip Gaines.On the flip side, every banker in Waco knew Chip too. And he talked to those two very different groups of people the same way. There was never any difference in Chip’s demeanor. His enthusiasm for life and work and people was just infectious, and he surprised me with it again and again. At least once a day I caught myself thinking, Best of all, as happy as Chip Gaines was, he seemed happiest around me.I’m a generally happy person. My mom says I was a happy baby. But it’s a fact--I was always happiest around Jo. And I still am.
