He and Ms. Yearwood have been friends with the former president and his late wife, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, for many years, so they've learned a lot about each other."Anytime you get to talking about him, you are gonna talk about probably two or three things," Brooks says of Pres. Carter. "You're gonna talk about his faith, you're gonna talk about music and you're gonna talk about some of the biggest historical moments on the planet."Brooks and Yearwood are in St. Paul, Minn., this week, building 30 new, affordable homes as part of the Habitat for Humanity initiative. The Carter Work Project is <a href="https://www.habitat.org/carter-work-project">in its 40th year</a>, and though the 100-year-old Carter isn't there with a hammer in his hand, he's present on everyone's mind."President Carter actually, has, you know ... the <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-habitat-humanity-jimmy-carter-1.4202220">one story</a> that did cause us great stress is he just got dizzy for a moment when we were in Canada and building 150 homes for the 150th anniversary," CEO of <a href="https://www.habitat.org/">Habitat for Humanity International</a>, Jonathan Reckford, explains, giving new details on the president's health."They wished him off just to be safe, and he called me quite irritated and unfortunately all the cameras were lined up for a big press conference, and I was like, 'What do you want me to tell them?'"Reckford says Pres. Carter responded with a quick: "Tell them, 'I'm fine, get back to work.'"That speaks to who the 39th president of the United States is — he's not a quitter.Brooks is optimistic that that's not soon to change, either, remarking that Carter, "is gonna live forever."<h2>30 Gushy Photos of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood Together</h2>Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are two peas in a pod.
