I know! Matt's great. You get a "Hmmm", mebbe, yup..." But when he has something to share, it's worth listening. I've learned a lot from both Matt and Tipper. This channel is a valuable resource if you try to be self-sufficient.
I don’t have access to river rocks but I’ve bought a couple of bags of rocks in the craft department at Walmart to use in the bottoms of vases for things like this hemlock tree. I also love to pick up acorns and have been known to fill a vase with those to surround things that don’t need to be watered.
Be on the lookout for a couple red and black buffalo plaid wool coats like Matt’s wearing for a couple grandsons in about 6 years. It’d be an awesome picture of Matt heading into a woods with his little pardners on either side holding his strong hands.
Congrats Tipper and Matt! It will be so fun having grand babies who are almost twins! Wanted to say loved to see the beauty of your woods and the creek. Pretty much confined to home and love seeing your beautiful Appalachia.
Matt cracks me up! "I didn't care when I was 4, and I don't care now!" I was taking a sip of coffee when he said that and it just about came out of my nose! Ha! You two are the BEST. Love your growing family, all of you and your girls and their babies and granny are in my prayers.
Matt saying he could hear a squirrel made me think about how a 150 deer can walk silently through the woods, but a squirrel sounds like someone running while wearing flip flops and carrying 8 full Wal-Mart bags?
OMG. He is Soooo Funny. Saying he doesn’t remember Christmas decorations from 17 years ago, it’s just not in him. And then when Tipper’s talking about the Christmas she didn’t decorate much and he asks her if she’s sure it was him she was with 😂😂😂😂
My word ya'll brought back a bunch of memories! It is a miracle I am still alive. LOL Mama used to lock us outside and even when my siblings were back in school. Daddy was overseas a lot and I always wanted to be outside. I kept my fishing pole hid in mama's canalilies right outside my window. Needless to say i was always being sent to stay with my mother's mother that lived in the Ozark Mountains. I would shimmy down the black walnut tree outside the attic room where I had my room. I loved it running in the woods up there. Thanks for bringing back so many warm memories.
Matt & Tipper's treasured memories warm my heart & take me back. Growing up in a close knit coal camp I didn't know it then but I sure miss those good ole days. We were reminiscent of the little rascals or the Clampetts. I love that they are such diligent keepers of the old ways. If you decorate your little cedar (lol) please share.
Matt is such a cool guy. He's most definitely a keeper Tipper! He really does seem so much more relaxed and happier since he's got his life back and not having to go into a job every day, instead he gets to work there alongside you guys which is perfect timing for all of you. About the 'old wives' tales', well I know for sure this works. Tipper if you're anything like I am, and you're using an oven you're going to inevitably burn yourself a little on your hand or wrist. As soon as you burn yourself, put some (regular) mustard on the burn and somehow it automatically takes the pain away. I don't know how it does it but I've used mustard several times and it always works! I even told my son who drives a truck to keep a few mustard packets in his trucks first aid kit just in case. Try it next time and let us know how it works. You can thank me later! 🙂
I felt so sorry for Matt wanting a fried green tomato. I have had a lot of success by slicing green tomatoes and laying them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezing them then afterwards putting them in a freezer bag. They preserve very well and are such a treat to fry when the snow is flying along with a pot of soup beans and fried potatoes.
Jo Hubbard…Standing here listening to you two…… I’m cackling …sooo funny.. do you remember the old saying, “You don’t pay for your raising until you have kids.” …lol. I can’t until they get here. Congratulations to all of you. Two precious little boys❤❤❤
My Daddy would always find, what we called a thorny bush tree, while quail hunting before Christmas. He would bring it home and Mama made a candy tree. Put in a bucket with dirt and bucket covered with foil paper. On each of the thorns a small gumdrop was placed. So anyone that passed the tree grabbed a treat. Mama had to replace treats often. Thorny bush trees are hard to find where we live. My husband is always looking for one. What great memories! Merry Christmas!
You guys Crack me up!! I've heard the expression, ...rugrats and ankle biters, but never have I heard curtain climbers!!! 😂😂😂😂 Too funny! You guys are going to be great grandparents! I can't wait....I'm excited for you AND the girls!
Just heard about your wonderful news two baby boys on the way … Matt will be a great granddad so much information about the mountains to hand on and you will love your grand babies , it’s such a blessing to have young ones in your life and it’s such a gift to love and be loved by them. Wishing you all the joy. These little ones will be so lucky to have you both My grandsons are 12 and 9 l live on a property with them everyday my life is filled that special love , my granddaughter is 20 and so dear to me watching her moving forward into her future The circle of life turns more everyday as we age but the compensation of grandchildren make everyday worth while Chris from Australia ❤
When you commented on if you could tie the branches together ,I had to smile at a memory of when I was a young girl, about 6 years old in 1962. My family had just moved to the big island of Hawaii and it was my first Christmas there away from the mainland. Christmas trees were not very accessible in those times so my father tied several palm tree fronds together to fashion a Christmas tree. Did it look like a traditional Christmas tree? No, but it was a memory that is to this day very special to me.
Oh my, ours were into everything too 😂 Our oldest, who's almost 30, he would like to run his cars up and down my back when we would lay down for a nap. I didn't mind because it made me sleepy lol but that little turkey didn't fall asleep and when I woke up, he had squeezed Hershey syrup all over my back and down the legs of my britches! I was a mess 🙈 But we had the door knob, cabinet, and drawer locks too. We had to reinstall them about 2 years ago when our grandbaby started toddling around. But what a joy ❤🥹 I'm so excited for all of y'all!
Miss Tipper and Matt, Thank y'all for the wonderful nature hike through the beautiful Appalachian forest. It was a fine treat! Btw, I like Matt's thrift store wool score. What a cool find! He picked a fine hemlock mini tree as well. 🥰 Congratulations for soon to be grandparents! 🎉❤️🥰
I just love watching you and Matt chatt’n back n forth, reminiscing. It’s like watching family. Those baby boys are gonna be such a fun blessing to watch grow, and give you and their parents a run for their money. 😆 God bless all y’all.❤️
Matt had me laughing in this video, he doesn't try to be funny, just his natural way of expressing things 😅 I always thought hemlocks were a pine or cedar. That pull apart bread of yours that was in a previous video sure looks good, maybe this year I'll try making it. 🎄☃️🦌✨🌟💖
When you said “wrinkley” it brought me back to childhood… I haven’t heard anyone say that in years. Except me. 😂😂😂 & I have made pull apart bread with just cinnamon for years. ❤
My Grandmother (born in 1898) would take string and soak it in Elmer's glue and dip it in glitter. Easy to string on small branches. My mother and her sister got a orange and a peppermint for Christmas. Hard times back then but they had a good life. My housemouse has really enjoyed the cookbook she ordered, and I am for sure happy she liked it. My jeans not so much. The diet starts after New Years.
Two years ago, i went all nostalgic and made all the ornaments for the tree. They along with a few cherished ornaments from our time in Germany and the ones my son made were what I've used since. But this year, I can't get up any enthusiasm to put our tree up. Your little hemlock is rather inspirational...just enough greenery to welcome the season. I can see some small white lights or even tiny pine cones on it. My son figured out how to open all those safety locks, so we just moved all the dangerous stuff and left him play with the pots and pans or other safe things.
Tipper, you are so, so sweet. ❤. And Matt helping you find your little tree brought back memories of me and my daddy trap-sin through our property and creek (Bull Creek in Asheville NC) getting a little gum ball tree! ❤️🎄❤️. I could not imagine not having your channel to watch. ❤
I also get cranky when I'm hungry,. My husband says, good grief! Eat something and come see me I'm half an hour! Loved the talk and trip in the woods! ❤❤
I watched your live stream you Matt and Corie did, you all did good. I was going to write something, but you had soooooo many comments to read already I didn't have the heart to give you more work. Sitting here I just had an epiphany, The reason I love popsicle time is because you two remind me of my grandma and grandpa Rose going back and forth grandpa teasing grandma and grandma getting irritated. The one grandma disliked the most was grandpa telling her that she was way older than him because he was born on the leap year, therefore only had a birthday every 4 years. Katie reminds me of me, Corie reminds me of my sister Sharon. May God bless you all.
I enjoy your simple country nature walks and talks, and readings. I don't think I have seen a hemlock. It's a pretty tree for decorating your kitchen! Thanks for another lovely time away from the pressures of life.
Oh, my goodness....I spit out my coffee at "banshees" . I may be borrowing that starting in a few weeks when our granddaughter is born. If she's anything like her mother, it will fit 🤣
My mom and dad didn't have a whole lot of money when they got married. They collected gumballs from a gun ball tree and wrapped in aluminum foil. We still have a few. ❤
Indeed you two make me laugh. I love the little hemlock tree you put in your kitchen. It's sweet. As always, I'm glad to watch you both eat popsicles. Hugs.
You both and your family brings me such joy! We are a very small family now, and when way hung you brings such warm memories. Congratulations for the two grandbabies! What a wonderful life they will have. Prayers continue for everyone.
Tipper and Matt, I loved this sweet video. I could watch ya'll all day. I adore the little tree. I think some dried tangerine slices would be great on it.
We were so lucky with our twin grandchildren. They never touched anything that didn't belong to them. They were just really good and so respectful. Today they are 17 and great kids getting college acceptances almost weekly. We are so proud for lots of reasons but they have great hearts and good Christian teenagers. Nobody can ever prepare for the love you have for your grandchildren!!!
Oh, Tipper, i was the same way. We had the doorknob covers, plug-in covers, and cabinet latches. I'm thinking Matt needs to get started buying those back up. I did it to just protect my little girl. I love all those memories. I wish my daughter wanted babies. We would love having grandbabies.
You two are soooooo Blessed to enjoy your time together so young so much time to have. Love the sweetness one can feel when you all are together. Makes me wistful for my Glen. God Bless you and yours . Life gonna soon be getting really lively when those two little fellas arrive. Matt will have his time with little partners had his girls now he gets to do man things with th😢em what a time for making a life time of memories for all. I do so enjoy having you in ,u life I have secretly adopted all of you. Makes my life more complete having you all to look forward to
Oh my gosh, I gotta tell y’all!! Now instead of those old cabinet baby proof locks, now they have a “magnet” that you can put on the cabinet and put the “open knob” out of reach like on the fridge (close) and when you need to open a cabinet touch it with the “open knob” so easy! 🥰
That is one cute little tree. Oh boy, I sure know what ya mean about a little one into everything, my four year old grandson can not be trusted once second LOL
Oh Matt, you may not be able to remember all the decorations of years past, but I bet you remember a majority of all your hunting successes, just like my husband! 😂😂
Love this, but y’all are making me cold watching you eat those popsicles! 😂 Excited for you both on the two little boys coming into your lives soon! 💙💙
Maybe it's the very word "hemlock"...my mother is forever saying somebody had to have "the hemlock!!" (she means the Heimlich maneuver, for choking victims, lolol). 🤣 I think that Hemlock decoration looks very sweet, Tipper! 🙌🏼💞
Ooooo!!! I know!! Fill your Christmas tree jar with pebbles from your stream to hold your little tree straight and they will hide the handy dandy zip-ties. So pretty! 😍
Yall are gonna be fantastic grandparents. I believe your excitement shows when you talk about the girls and others being little. We are exited for you too!
The tree looks pretty and that was a good idea to put three tiny trees together to make it fuller. Well Matt, you might have calm down pickin and teasing since your girls have grown, but just wait till you get them two grandsons running around. You will have a time playing with them.
My granny would always have a hemlock tree that my grandaddy and uncle would go out and cut and she always had fresh mistletoe that they would shoot from the trees.
We never put stuff up when the kids were little, we just kept telling them, Not a toy for Joel, or Dalton or Tori. They never hurt themselves or broke anything.
Babies! Better safe than sorry. My son was an angel but my daughter was into everything! We had to but an alarm on the front door because (at two) she’d want to take a walk.
Hi y'all! That was fun! I have a three limbed Charlie Brown Christmas tree with one red ornament to hang from it! I use a piece of my grannies old blue robe as the blanket for the base! I then surround it with all of the little figures from Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer ❤ Thank you for the video! God Bless & love to granny 🙏🏽 Seattle kin
You guys are the best. We've only been watching for about a year, but we feel like you are old friends that we've known for a long time. Love, blessings and prayers... San Diego County, California ✝️🕯🌲❄️🙂🙏 ( different user name now...)
The old man’s beard can act as an anti-bacterial. Matt was recently talking about being outnumbered, just like that the tables turned. 🤗🎄 you all are blessed. Continuing prayers for Granny and the family! Hope we get to see that popsicle in the snow video🤭
Love you're tree it's lovely! I'm like you l absolutely 🌲🌴.Matt is so sweet to you. You guys make a great couple. Prayers for Granny bless her soul. You are so blessed to have her around for this Christmas.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love zip ties! I am always telling my husband I wish I had invented either zip ties or Velcro! We would be rich if I had. lol They are so useful. Love watching you two work together on your projects! 😊
As Always I Enjoyed Popsicle time, to Cold here for that. Enjoyed All the Rembrancing about the girls, And Everything. That Matt & his life stories tickle me😂 "maybe it was someone else". I Pray both of the Girls have Easy Delivery of their Boys! ❤🎉 Can't Wait to see what You Share with Us Tipper of Your Christmas Baking..God Bless Everyone. Hope Granny's eating is Getting better & nauseated feeling.
Wonderful video with you and Matt!! Popsicle, chat times my favorite. And I love the idea of an itty bitty tree for the kitchen!! Thanks for sharing!! God bless and much love! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Your discussion of thorn bush brought back memory of gum drops on little thorn bushes at Christmas. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you! Happy Holidays.

The talks are the best!!!! We all need to take time to have those relaxed times. Thank you for sharing.
For Matt being a man of few words, he is hysterical!!!!😂
I know! Matt's great. You get a "Hmmm", mebbe, yup..." But when he has something to share, it's worth listening. I've learned a lot from both Matt and Tipper. This channel is a valuable resource if you try to be self-sufficient.
Put marbles or creek stones in the vase to cover the zip ties and stabilize the tree.
Great idea 😊
River rocks. Exactly what I did.
I don’t have access to river rocks but I’ve bought a couple of bags of rocks in the craft department at Walmart to use in the bottoms of vases for things like this hemlock tree. I also love to pick up acorns and have been known to fill a vase with those to surround things that don’t need to be watered.
That's what we did.i thought of it.
Be on the lookout for a couple red and black buffalo plaid wool coats like Matt’s wearing for a couple grandsons in about 6 years. It’d be an awesome picture of Matt heading into a woods with his little pardners on either side holding his strong hands.
O just saw some at target yesterday!
Love that thought 😊
Oh they have them at Target for infants! That will be so cute! 😂❤
Farm supply stores
Congrats Tipper and Matt! It will be so fun having grand babies who are almost twins! Wanted to say loved to see the beauty of your woods and the creek. Pretty much confined to home and love seeing your beautiful Appalachia.
Just think next Christmas you will have two grandkids and that will be wonderful
We are so excited 😊
Matt cracks me up! "I didn't care when I was 4, and I don't care now!" I was taking a sip of coffee when he said that and it just about came out of my nose! Ha! You two are the BEST. Love your growing family, all of you and your girls and their babies and granny are in my prayers.

😂 truth
Lol 😊
This saying is hill ar rious.❤❤❤
😂😂
Matt telling Tipper” Came from your side of the family!”😂😂
Matt reminds me of my Grandpa. He didn’t say much but when he did, we all listened.
Matt makes me laugh. He is just so dog gone excited.
😊
OMG. He is Soooo Funny. Saying he doesn’t remember Christmas decorations from 17 years ago, it’s just not in him. And then when Tipper’s talking about the Christmas she didn’t decorate much and he asks her if she’s sure it was him she was with 😂😂😂😂
Who could not love Matt 😢
He is such a wonderful family man, and has made this family full of love ❤ God Bless
I could literally listen to y'all all day. So soothing. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. We all feel like family with you guys. ❤️
😊 thank you
I enjoy watching the two of you together. I can just see the love between you. 💕
My word ya'll brought back a bunch of memories! It is a miracle I am still alive. LOL Mama used to lock us outside and even when my siblings were back in school.

I loved it running in the woods up there. Thanks for bringing back so many warm memories.
Listening to you and Matt talk is as comforting as my favorite rockin chair. Y’all are my memory keepers❤️ Thank Y’all.
Yes!!!
Matt & Tipper's treasured memories warm my heart & take me back. Growing up in a close knit coal camp I didn't know it then but I sure miss those good ole days. We were reminiscent of the little rascals or the Clampetts. I love that they are such diligent keepers of the old ways. If you decorate your little cedar (lol) please share.
"I've come unfed." I laugh every time I hear that! Great line.
😊 Thank you Roland

The door knob things were the worst! My husband used to joke that they did a great job of keeping me out of the rooms. 😂
😊
I felt so sorry for Matt wanting a fried green tomato. I have had a lot of success by slicing green tomatoes and laying them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezing them then afterwards putting them in a freezer bag. They preserve very well and are such a treat to fry when the snow is flying along with a pot of soup beans and fried potatoes.
I can them
Jo Hubbard…Standing here listening to you two…… I’m cackling …sooo funny.. do you remember the old saying, “You don’t pay for your raising until you have kids.” …lol. I can’t until they get here. Congratulations to all of you. Two precious little boys❤❤❤
Can’t wait.😂😂
😊 That's what we've been telling them LOL 😊 Thank you!

My Daddy would always find, what we called a thorny bush tree, while quail hunting before Christmas. He would bring it home and Mama made a candy tree. Put in a bucket with dirt and bucket covered with foil paper. On each of the thorns a small gumdrop was placed. So anyone that passed the tree grabbed a treat. Mama had to replace treats often.

The circle of life turns more everyday as we age but the compensation of grandchildren make everyday worth while Chris from Australia ❤
Matt is hilarious! The way he says things is so funny! 😂 When your grandsons get to be toddlers he will teach them how to be mischievous. Haha
LOL, while Matt was cutting down your tree, I was thinking what a man does for the woman he loves. He cuts down a Charlie Brown tree for her.
😊
Omgosh .l love Matt 😊.I enjoyed this video so much. I actually belly laughed out loud at Matt made my day .😂
When you commented on if you could tie the branches together ,I had to smile at a memory of when I was a young girl, about 6 years old in 1962.

Matt is certainly a treasure, not much on words but a lot a doing.
Now I got a hankering for fried green tomatoes thanks matt
Dried apple and Orange slices tied on your little tree, and maybe string together cranberries would look lovely.
Oh my, ours were into everything too 😂 Our oldest, who's almost 30, he would like to run his cars up and down my back when we would lay down for a nap.

I just love watching you and Matt chatt’n back n forth, reminiscing.
It’s like watching family.
Those baby boys are gonna be such a fun blessing to watch grow, and give you and their parents a run for their money. 😆 God bless all y’all.❤️
I missed it, both daughters having boys?? Or is one having twin boys??
@@theresadevore9312 both daughters are having boys. Katie’s boy is due in March. And Corie’s boy is due in June. 😊💙💙
Matt had me laughing in this video, he doesn't try to be funny, just his natural way of expressing things 😅 I always thought hemlocks were a pine or cedar. That pull apart bread of yours that was in a previous video sure looks good, maybe this year I'll try making it. 🎄☃️🦌✨🌟💖
Funny watching Mat put the tree together and hearing Kati pounding at her jewelry making.
When you said “wrinkley” it brought me back to childhood… I haven’t heard anyone say that in years. Except me. 😂😂😂
& I have made pull apart bread with just cinnamon for years. ❤
My Grandmother (born in 1898) would take string and soak it in Elmer's glue and dip it in glitter. Easy to string on small branches. My mother and her sister got a orange and a peppermint for Christmas. Hard times back then but they had a good life. My housemouse has really enjoyed the cookbook she ordered, and I am for sure happy she liked it. My jeans not so much. The diet starts after New Years.
I bet that was real pretty!

Matts version of Christmas appreciation 🤣🤣🤣it really is the difference between men and women
"Theys Banshees.." laughed out on that one
You both are so precious! We’re so grateful that there are couples like you.
Thank you so much!
Cant wait till the curtain climbers show up!!!
So glad yall are gonna be home to enjoy them its gonna be just wonderful !!!
You not only have a home grown tree, but a home made one!
Tipper, you are so, so sweet. ❤. And Matt helping you find your little tree brought back memories of me and my daddy trap-sin through our property and creek (Bull Creek in Asheville NC) getting a little gum ball tree! ❤️🎄❤️. I could not imagine not having your channel to watch. ❤
You are so kind thank you 😊
Matt, now retired, working harder than ever!!
So enjoy Tipper & Matt Such a great couple. Me & my husband celebrated 40 yrs of marriage last May. We are in our 60s.
Happy Anniversary! Many more in good health and joy!❤
Love your humor and ways Mat, you have a dry wit and not even tryiing
I also get cranky when I'm hungry,. My husband says, good grief! Eat something and come see me I'm half an hour! Loved the talk and trip in the woods! ❤❤
You can fill your vase/bottle with Epsom salts. It will keep the tree standing straight, hide the zip ties, and it looks like snow!
That’s a great idea 😊
That's a good idea. And when you're done, you can sprinkle it over the garden beds or under the trees.
The walk up the creek almost looks tropical, so pretty. The tree turned out real cute. Thank goodness for zip ties. Your just the cutest couple.

Very attractive arrangement of hemlocks for your indoor Christmas tree.
I enjoy your simple country nature walks and talks, and readings. I don't think I have seen a hemlock. It's a pretty tree for decorating your kitchen! Thanks for another lovely time away from the pressures of life.
The wool jacket was a great find. I was admiring it the whole video.
I love how you remember little sweet moments.
Oh, my goodness....I spit out my coffee at "banshees" . I may be borrowing that starting in a few weeks when our granddaughter is born. If she's anything like her mother, it will fit 🤣
My mom and dad didn't have a whole lot of money when they got married. They collected gumballs from a gun ball tree and wrapped in aluminum foil. We still have a few. ❤

I love your little tree. My grandmother always had us cut a little cedar tree for her. It smelled so good. Thanks for the memories. ❤
Yes! My Daddy always cut me a little one for my room. ❤
Oh my gosh, I gotta tell y’all!! Now instead of those old cabinet baby proof locks, now they have a “magnet” that you can put on the cabinet and put the “open knob” out of reach like on the fridge (close) and when you need to open a cabinet touch it with the “open knob” so easy! 🥰
That is one cute little tree. Oh boy, I sure know what ya mean about a little one into everything, my four year old grandson can not be trusted once second LOL
Oh Matt, you may not be able to remember all the decorations of years past, but I bet you remember a majority of all your hunting successes, just like my husband! 😂😂
Mom was a true believer that being outside was great for sleeping
Love this, but y’all are making me cold watching you eat those popsicles! 😂 Excited for you both on the two little boys coming into your lives soon! 💙💙
Maybe it's the very word "hemlock"...my mother is forever saying somebody had to have "the hemlock!!" (she means the Heimlich maneuver, for choking victims, lolol). 🤣 I think that Hemlock decoration looks very sweet, Tipper! 🙌🏼💞
😊 Thank you!
Ooooo!!! I know!! Fill your Christmas tree jar with pebbles from your stream to hold your little tree straight and they will hide the handy dandy zip-ties. So pretty! 😍
Yall are gonna be fantastic grandparents. I believe your excitement shows when you talk about the girls and others being little. We are exited for you too!
The tree looks pretty and that was a good idea to put three tiny trees together to make it fuller. Well Matt, you might have calm down pickin and teasing since your girls have grown, but just wait till you get them two grandsons running around. You will have a time playing with them.
My granny would always have a hemlock tree that my grandaddy and uncle would go out and cut and she always had fresh mistletoe that they would shoot from the trees.
Hey Matt & Tipper thanks for taking us along on another great video 🎄 Jesus is the reason for the season
you bright eyed rascals bring alot of joy
😀 thank you
We never put stuff up when the kids were little, we just kept telling them, Not a toy for Joel, or Dalton or Tori. They never hurt themselves or broke anything.
Babies! Better safe than sorry. My son was an angel but my daughter was into everything! We had to but an alarm on the front door because (at two) she’d want to take a walk.
I raised 4 boys. You two are in for it lol
😊
Matt's thorn bush incident was just like your Christmas story Tipper! Neither boy would tell mom for fear of being banned from their cool place.
I thought of that too 😊
Hahaha, we STILL have cabinet locks at my moms house. And my great nephews are in their 20’s. 😆
😊
Hi y'all! That was fun! I have a three limbed Charlie Brown Christmas tree with one red ornament to hang from it!
I use a piece of my grannies old blue robe as the blanket for the base! I then surround it with all of the little figures from Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer ❤
Thank you for the video!
God Bless & love to granny 🙏🏽
Seattle kin

You guys are the best. We've only been watching for about a year, but we feel like you are old friends that we've known for a long time.

The old man’s beard can act as an anti-bacterial. Matt was recently talking about being outnumbered, just like that the tables turned. 🤗🎄 you all are blessed. Continuing prayers for Granny and the family! Hope we get to see that popsicle in the snow video🤭

I love zip ties! I am always telling my husband I wish I had invented either zip ties or Velcro! We would be rich if I had. lol They are so useful. Love watching you two work together on your projects! 😊
As Always I Enjoyed Popsicle time, to Cold here for that. Enjoyed All the Rembrancing about the girls, And Everything. That Matt & his life stories tickle me😂 "maybe it was someone else". I Pray both of the Girls have Easy Delivery of their Boys! ❤🎉 Can't Wait to see what You Share with Us Tipper of Your Christmas Baking..God Bless Everyone. Hope Granny's eating is Getting better & nauseated feeling.

😊
Wonderful video with you and Matt!! Popsicle, chat times my favorite. And I love the idea of an itty bitty tree for the kitchen!! Thanks for sharing!! God bless and much love! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Being out in physical darkness as a youngster is one of life’s pleasures; spiritual darkness not so much.
Love Matt’s humor ❤
He’s always trying to to get a raise out of of you !😊
Your discussion of thorn bush brought back memory of gum drops on little thorn bushes at Christmas. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you! Happy Holidays.
