Matt, you will enjoy this: my grandson is 11 yrs old and I bought him his first 20 gauge shotgun and my son and I took him to try it out and he was really attentive and put every shot on the target. This weekend he went on a deer hunt and the boys he was with shot one and he got to see it all up close. Then the boys father taught all 3 of the boys how to gut a deer. My grandson was so happy and loved every minute of it. It made me think of you and how much you love it. Praise the Lord!
That is so great! Thank you for sharing with us 😊
I love all your videos! Please pray for my daughter she’s sick
🙏✝️🙏
I'm so sorry she is sick. I will pray for her!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you she coughs all night
@@MelissaMounts I'm so sorry. I will pray the cough stops!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you so much
Oh my, I’m with Matt! Gravy and cranberry sauce is a must for Thanksgiving dinner!!! And Granny is right about it’s not Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. I always make my sons pecan pie too, they won’t eat anyones but mine..lol. We don’t have a lot of people at Thanksgiving dinner, just me and my two sons but I am thankful for them!❤️
Thank you for watching 😊
Cranberries are a Must have not Thanksgiving without Turkey and Cranberry’s Yum Yum 😋
No rain here in Clover Va either. So dry it is just like a dust storm when you mow up leaves.
The only way I like turkey I wild turkey breast cut up in nuggets batteredand deep fried I just don't want any tame turkey that has been pumped up with water so the stores can make more money and they don't taste good I love baked beans for Thanksgiving good video
@@noahsmith8988I can eat baked beans any day any meal love them
TIPPER, PUT YOUR CRANBERRY SAUCE IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND IT WILL BE COLD WHEN YOU OPEN IT... HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOUR FAMILY, GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🙏🙏
that's what I do, right up front. I'm the only one that eats it so it's easy for it to be overlooked. And yes I'm with Matt, the canned stuff is the best!
😊 Thank you!!
hahaha that's what I was thinking too!
My Mom( bless her soul she's in heaven now) did that. I miss her especially at the Holidays. They've never been the same without her and never will be. I strongly dislike this time of year. Let's skip right to March and I would be very happy
In my neck of the woods(Wisconsin) all we ever had was meat gravy, it has only been in the last 20-30 years that the custom of sausage gravy and biscuits at breakfast was introduced. I agree with Matt, you have to have both. Very good to hear Granny is going to finish her treatments and making pumpkin pies. Wishing your family a blessed Thanksgiving.🦃🦌
You don’t need glass, you can buy the thick clear vinyl that goes over your tablecloth to protect it, you can put the photos under it. It comes on a long roll at the hobby stores. I got mine at JoAnns & Michaels. Great thing about this vinyl… you can reuse and reuse it, when it’s finally worn out, use in greenhouse, etc Happy Thanksgiving! Been praying for Granny 🤍
Great idea!
Great tip!
We did that for an anniversary dinner at our church one time and everyone loved it!
Because it is matte, everyone could take pictures of the pictures! You could put down a white tablecloth, pictures, vinyl.
Thank you Matt and Tipper! So happy to know that Granny is tolerating her treatments, so well. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and your entourage!❤️🇨🇦🙏🦃
🦋🦋🦋 I just love that you all can get together as a family! I really enjoy hearing y’all talk about it the way you do. I’m sure it brings hope to so many people!
Thank you so much 🤗
The first round of holidays with an empty spot at the table are the most difficult. But also healing to remember the last holiday together and to memorialize any special things enjoyed by your folks at that holiday. Incorporate the things they loved or the things that you loved about them on the holiday into family lore and tradition.
Even encouragement from someone we've never met can be the straw it takes to get us to move toward the thing we've been putting off but know we should get moving toward. This one is for you Matt. You find a top notch Eye Specialist, and take the first appointment they have available. Do ya hear me? You are very enjoyable to watch and God knows how much your family needs you. Then there is that precious grandson soon to make his appearance to Grandpa. I think you may need some tests run on your eyes that are not routine. And if you do, you may possibly need time to heal.
Y'all enjoy Thanksgiving safely, and to the fullest. It is my favorite time of year. Tipper, I continue to remember your mother in prayer.
Thank you 😊
Are you getting a new grandchild?❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@pjchapman9419 Yes Katie is having a baby in March 😊
I'm with Matt in gravy,. Love it . Put some on the dressing. Yum. Prayers for Granny ❤
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I think every day should be a day of thanks because most of us here in America have such an abundance and we're so blessed! 🙏
Amen!!!
I enjoy it when Matt makes you laugh, it's so sweet the way you laugh Tipper. Y'all are so fortunate !!! Thank you, as always! 💞🙌🏼
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
🙏🏻 for Granny! It's wonderful she has done so well! I'm with Matt on the gravy- I do like a little turkey gravy on my potatoes!
And I love having the turkey gravy to put over the turkey 😊
I agree with Matt, jellied cranberry sauce! I'm the only one in my house who will eat it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I do get canned cranberry sauce, even though I don’t eat it. But I stir in a small canned of mandarin oranges (not including the juice) and I actually like it.
I miss the family holidays. Our family has shrunk to a small handful. Beautiful memories gets me through. Thank you for sharing- it made me chuckle. Have a blessed thanksgiving- prayers for grannie~
HAPPY THANKGIVING TO YOU ALL !! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND SPECIAL BLESSING FOR GRANNY.
Get you some progressive glasses and then you can see both near and far.
Hey Tipper. We’ve had four cousin reunions over the last four years and as all our parents and grandparents are gone to their reward, I got large pieces of poster board and taped pictures of all the aunts and uncles and grandparents etc. many old family photos and displayed them on the picnic tables at the pavilion we were at Oh my gosh EVERYONE just loved seeing them and I told them to take which ones they wanted. It made for a great heart warming day of sharing family stories and fond recollections. ❤
Love that!
I was told many years ago that garlic in your flower bed will help with the bugs.
This was such a nice pre-Thanksgiving Chat!
Thanks for spending time with us and sharing so much of your days and history!
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving, Everyone! 🦃❤
I started following your family's videos in earnest last holiday season and I'm very much looking forward to watching them this year. The holidays have a tendency to be stressful to me and your videos help me relax and enjoy the season. Praying for your new grand baby! I just had a little boy in August, so I know exactly what Katie is in for soon! 😂 Also praying for Granny! If any one feels it on their heart to pray for my sister in law, she was recently diagnosed with leukemia. God bless your family this Thanksgiving and Christmas! ❤
Thank you!! 😊
🙏
@@joycewilson3787 thank you!!
One of my favorite parts is where you both sit and eat popsicles and relax and talk.😊 Happy Thanksgiving to the whole family! From Michigan.
God is so good! I've prayed for your Mom faithfully and it brings such joy in hearing she took so well to the treatments. She will be so thankful it's over. God bless you and yours this holiday. And to all your subbies....
Happy Thanksgiving !!!
Make a big list of what you need and check it off…that’s what I do or I will forget everything! But yes you have to have cranberry and gravy or it ain’t thanksgiving! Matt is one smart cookie! ❤
So happy to hear that granny's treatments are over! Granny's interview about crochet was what led me to your channel a few years ago. I immediately identified with her because I crochet also and she is just so sweet. I immediately subscribed to your channel after watching that video. Blessings to youvall!;
Thank you 😊
I remember when I was a kid my grandparents would sit out on the porch at night after supper here in North Mississippi. They lived in the country on a dirt road and always made a "gnat smoke" our in the yard. I'm 71 years old now and I still remember how that smoke smelled. I loved every minute of living in those times. Also I agree with Matt. Gravy is good anytime with anything. Happy Thanksgiving.
Matt had me in stitches with his comments. 🤣My best to all of you for a wonderful Thanksgiving together with extended family. Keeping prayers flowing for Granny too.
I'm so glad that Granny continues to do well! I will keep praying for her and for the healing of her burns.
Always enjoy yours and Matt’s conversations with us. I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving and a special prayer for Granny to be feeling good this holiday season. 🍂🦃🧡
I lost my mother-in-law last week, too. She died the night I came home from a lumpectomy for breast cancer. It’s been a bad month but we are grateful for everything, too. We are blessed to have had her for 92 years!
You should record that conversation around the pictures so you’ll remember all of them.
I'm sorry you lost her!! I will pray for your cancer.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Prayers continue for Granny. My sweet Momma went to heaven November 7. What a celebration she is having in heaven.
I'm so sorry you lost her!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you.
Our loved ones are in that great crowd of witnesses, watching us and cheering us on ❣️
For sure 😊
Yes and Amen!! ❤
So glad that granny is doing well and has tolerated her treatment well. My sister had an awful time with chemo. Take care.
My grandson is working at Honey Baked Ham and the employers get a choice of a ham or turkey. We all voted for ham. So its going to be ham and biscuits and good old canned cranberry slices on top plus all the goodies we have that make it Thanksgiving. You are the hardest working couple,.so you need to eat good. Thank god Granny is doing well. The picture idea is great. I hope it works out for you. I love my old pictures but it gives me a happy /sad feeling seeing all my babies and family I won't see no more till Heaven. I love visiting with you all. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. God bless us all.💗🙏
Proud to hear your mother is doing great thru her treatments..and you are so right about praying..it works..
Thank you so much for the conversation this evening! Prayers for Granny. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
So thankful Granny is doing okay. She sure can sing. Bless her.
I’m wishing you a happy thanksgiving 🦃 and still keeping granny in my prayers for an amazing healing. God bless you all.😊😊
My mother-in-law used to put a large white flat bedsheet on the table as a table cloth and provide a couple of sharpies, then everyone at the table could write a comment and the lil babes could outline there hands. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Lisa from Oklahoma.
Tipper,
You just jerked me back to reality!!!!
Our family has had a very hard month and I forgot this is Thanksgiving week!!!!
Your blogs really helped me tonight too!!
Thank you for all you do!♥️
Sorry to hear that! Glad we helped some 😀
Listening into you two, its just like Family. Wifey and I did some gardening this morning. dirt was powder dry, so some wetta soil liquid mix with ground improver. I found some gladioli bulbs of my fav, near black flower, so be nice to see them in full bloom. Thanks for the update on Granny. God Bless all.
Can't wait to be apart of American Thanksgiving ❤
We have finished ours in Canada it was in October ❤....exciting to see your tradition and menu🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃..I hear its a much bigger production than ours in Canada ❤😊
Matt, you should try a turkey sandwich with horseradish and cranberry sauce! It's VERY good. 👍
Turkey on white bread and miracle whip. ❤️
You all are so blessed to be all able to get together and share the holidays. Prayers continue for granny.
Thanks so much!!
We spent the weekend in Indy with our son and daughter in law and we couldn't believe how mild the weather was. We just had a sweater or light jacket on for the whole weekend and it is late November. Usually by this time we have seen snow and ice but this year is different. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope you have a blessed week.
I pray for her every day, morning and night.
Thank you!!
It's good to hear Granny is doing well. Like pumpkin pie it's not Thanksgiving with out that canned cranberry sauce at our house. Gotta have the gravy and cornbread dressing!! Have a blessed Thanksgiving Pressley family and everyone that is a part of this wonderful community of fans.
I'm with Matt on that gravy and cheap canned cranberry sauce! I could eat that stuff straight out of the can!😄 Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and all your viewers too!
There is no such thing as Thanksgiving dinner without turkey gravy and cranberry sauce. So good on the mashed potatoes and dressing. We have to have baked beans also.
I agree ❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Prayers & blessings to all especially Granny. May God bless you all!!
You two are like bread and butter ❤ I hope to find love like that again (my butter passed 18 years ago) ❤
When we first moved to Western Colorado we had a favorite restaurant that had hundreds of photos of the area and local people and activities: hunting, camping, hiking, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, and the mountains. All large tables were covered with these photos and a heavy glass on top! We just loved it. This restaurant put me on a love affair with green chilies and southwest cooking! Great memories!
Enjoyed the visit and keeping Granny and everyone in my prayers...🦃🦃🦃
You and Matt are to funny when you have your chats. That’s was so funny when he was talking about his eyesight. When my eyesight went bad it was like his good one day and I swear I was almost blind the next. You all have a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you don’t forget the cranberry sauce. lol
Glad Granny is doing well. My husbands sister found out maybe 2 months ago she had cancer and she passed last week. We just never know, like you said. Just be grateful every day and love the people God gave us!
I'm so sorry you lost her.
Hey Tipper & Matt, Thanks for the updates and glad Granny is doing well. Hopefully Matt sees the Eye Doctor soon. Love to you all. Have a wonderful Holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Prayers continue for Granny! Next year there will be a sweet grandson! Love to everyone!
We record the conversations around the table when the older family members are sharing stories or memories. You can use a phone or some other kind of digital recorder, it was a great way to capture not just the stories but to hear the littles running around or laughing and just capturing those good family moments. 😊❤
That's a great idea!
Wishing you a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving. Prayers for Granny. May all of your wonderful memories of Miss Cindy be with you all. God bless your family you all are a blessing and comfort to those of us that are alone .
Bless you Cindy!! We appreciate you 😀
#1 again for the first time in a long time!
Thank you Papaw 😊
Creamed potatoes and homemade gravy is a meal to me especially with minute steak Yum and Yum! 😋 Looks like a warmer winter this year. Thanks for the video ❤
Don’t feel bad Tipper I never make gravy either but my husband loves turkey gravy with his mashed taters. I pray your precious mama is able to enjoy Thanksgiving 🙏🙏. I love to watch yall I feel like I’m visiting with family. Matt my husband always gets accused of having a beer belly and he always “nope” I’m a teetotaler but I sure do like to eat lol. Thanks for sharing your lives with all of us. Holidays are hard when loved ones pass on 🙏
We host as well and spent our day today cleaning and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Happy Thankgiving to you all!
One year I bought a white tablecloth and had everyone do a handprint...adults and kids. The following year I lost my dad and my uncle but I have their handprint on that table cloth and have added the grandkids. It's so fun to look at all of them.
Enjoyed sitting & listening to you both. I’m with Matt on the gravy & canned cranberry sauce, gotta have ‘‘em both. Glad to hear that granny is holding her own, we will continue to lift her up in prayer daily. I busted out laughing when Matt said I can’t see it, but I’m enjoying it. Hope y’all have a blessed Thanksgiving. 👍🏻🦃😇🦃🙏🏻🦃❤️🦃
Thank you Pastor Lon! We appreciate those prayers 😊
As always enjoyed the chat. Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!❤
Matt is a man after my own heart, gravy, cranberries and extra pepper.
Don't forget the cranberry sauce!
Coming to you from Cranberry Country USA, Carver Massachusetts 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving
👋💙🙏💙👋Miss Tipper, Have a great Thanksgiving Day and enjoy being with all the loved ones. Towards the end of this video, it brought tears to my eyes when you talked about the last night with your daddy. It was so beautiful the way you remembered it. I remember the last few hours and I’m so blessed to have been with my daddy too. It was hard losing him. He passed on in the early hours of the 4th of July 1997. I miss him so much. The fourth is a time to reflect for me. Momma died on the morning of my birthday March 2016. I know my parents are watching over all of us that are left, but the memories mean so much. Prayers for Granny and love to y’all.
👋🙏🍁🦃 🥧 🙏👋
Bless you Jennifer! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday- all that lovely food and family time. We are so grateful for the Lord’s goodness.
I'm with Matt. Who doesn't like gravy!😊 I do like the fresh cranberry sauce though.
I so enjoy these times when you and Matt sit and enjoy your popsicles and just talk.
My Family always made Giblet Gravy for Thanksgiving 🤢 Back in the early 70’s My Grandmother would always make a sweet potato pie just for me and I didn’t share 😄Tipper you’re so right about enjoying every minute. I lost my Mother 2 years ago on Nov. 21st and then lost my father in Jan. this year and then my son in-law in August.
I'm sorry for your loss. I prayer God will pour out special blessings on you and His love will wrap you up in His loving arms💞🙏😇
Sweet memory of your grandmother! I'm so sorry you lost them all.
May their Souls Rest in Perfect Peace 🙏✝️✝️🙏
Matt is like my son he always wants jelled cranberry and gravy . Happy Thanksgiving to your family ,prayers for Granny. Stay safe God bless your family .
We love cranberry sauce and gravy. And the homemade rolls. Yum. My very favorite part of the dinner is the leftovers the next day.😊
Especially leftover turkey sandwiches on toasted bread with lots of mayo and green olives on the side💕
Am partial to gravy & cranberry sauce! The jellied cranberry in the can, refridgerated, open the can, it comes out & then cut it in 1/2 inch slices 😋 Happy to hear Granny is doing well & her treatments are ending🙏🏻 I hear Matt about the eyesight issue...the readers or "cheaters" as some call them, are inconvenient. Wishing y'all a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🍂🍁🍂🍗🌽🍠🥧
Happy Thanksgiving to You All 🍂🦃🍁 .... Prayers continue for Granny 🙏
Over 50 years ago I made pumpkin pie for family Thanksgiving . . . spiked with a little rum. Great grandmother, who never had liquor in her life, asked for a second piece. This year I'm making mincemeat with some whole cranberry sauce and maybe a little brandy. Sadly she's not here to indulge.
My daddy always made turkey,homemade chicken dressing,giblet gravy, Cranberry sauce,homemade mashed potatoes, potatoe salad,Slaw, deviled eggs,pumpkin, sweet potato,pecan pie....
Delicious
Matt, I put meat off the turkey neck, a few spoons of cooked stuffing, poultry seasoning, some cooked gravy in a blender, blend, then add it back to the pot of gravy. This adds more flavor. We like our gravy and potatoes. 😉 You all have a nice Thanksgiving.
I could not imagine Thanksgiving with out corn bread dressing. Praying everyone has a Blessed day.
I always put a menu on the side of my fridge. Otherwise I will totally forget something 🤦🏻♀️
Praying for Granny 🤲😘
I just don't have much roomso it's only turkey & dressing & gravy fir me. I can pick later. Enjoy all that delicious sounding food. I love your family so much. You are such good people.
I’m happy with a good roll with a slice of Turkey and cranberry sauce. Praying daily for Granny and all of your family. Happy Thanksgiving!
Sounds like it's going to be a good Thanksgiving. So glad granny is doing good we will definitely keep y'all in our prayers. Take care. God bless
Greetings from North Texas! Have a blessed thanksgiving!!
Thank you! You too 😊
Awesome news about Granny!!! Such a great reason to celebrate this year's Thanksgiving!! Speaking of photos....I've never liked my picture taken and I never took any pictures. My philosophy is to live and absorb every moment & experience 100%!
With all the talk of Matt’s eyesight changing, I am thinking he needs to ensure his blood pressure is under control. I know he’s at the age where his eyes might be changing anyway, but I know I had issues with my eyesight when my blood pressure was not under control. We care about you and look forward to watching you, and we thank you for your companionship! Be well!!
Matt is king of his hill. ❤
I’m so thankful for your precious family! Also thankful for Granny’s treatments coming to an end. Praying y’all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and a sweet time of sharing memories of those that have passed. And celebrate as believers, knowing we will see them again. God bless
y’all! 😀❤️
Thank you!!
This Thanksgiving is going to be really hard on my family.
My daddy passed away September 29,2023 and my Uncle Jerry passed away Saturday night.
So keep my family in your prayers.
Prayers going up for you and your family ❤
I'm so sorry for your losses. I will pray for comfort and peace for you and your family.
I vote for a white board. One side what to make and when, and the other what needs to be put on the table for dinner. I almost always forget to put the rolls on the table and forget to take the butter out ahead of time to get soft.
Y’all got a lot done around the garden today. Good conversation. Thankful for the good report on Granny and prayers will continue for her and all your family.
I swear. It's like we grew up in the same family. Every food you all talked about for Thanksgiving is exactly what we have, except for the deer meat and broccoli salad.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 continuing to pray for Miss Granny🙏
Hope ya'll have a very Happy Thanksgiving! I make a cornbread dressing that was handed down from my grandma on my mama's side. It has a pound of Jimmy Dean sausage and a whole cake of cornbread. It is more of a Southern dish that I have shared with all my Canadian family now. Everyone loves it! I am blessed to have two Thanksgiving's...so much to be thankful for.
God bless ya'll, and as always, I am sending healing thoughts and prayers for all. ❤🙏❤
Thank you 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia ya'll are very welcome 🤗
Happy Thanksgiving Tipper and Matt 🦃🦃🍁God Bless You Both 🙏
That right your thanksgiving is coming up this week. You must be so excited for all the food and family 🙏. Just think next year you will have a new one to care on the family traditions
We are excited 😊 Thank you for watching!
Sooo happy to hear that Granny is finished with treatment and doing so well...I pray she is feeling up to eating a good Thanksgiving Dinner.. Cant wait to see your feast this year! I am spending the Holiday with friends..So much to be thankful for!❤
LOL!!! Gravy is my favorite beverage! And Matt might change his mind about cranberry sauce if he could taste my cranberry jalapeno jelly! Happy Thanksgiving to the whole Billy goat Bluff Clan!
