Such a beautiful place you live! You, Matt and the girls are salt of the earth. Good country folk. Thank you for letting us join you all.
I remember people bought meal and flour in 25 pound sacks , the sacks were beautiful with flowers and different things printed on them. So my Mom had a singer sewing machine and she would save the sacks until there was enough for her to make me a dress.The meal and flour was stored in what we called a meal and flour chest. It was just a box with legs and was divided in the middle. Painted white. I love to hear you read the stories, you are very good at it, God bless , and keep the faith.
I have used antique grain sacks to upholster furniture. Such a unique and beautiful look!
Love the sound of the creek.love it.
Yes my husband could eat turnips twice a day.
Tipper, you and your family are like a breath of fresh air. We know that we can come to your channel and get away for a while. All is peaceful with the world and all is right. Thank you for allowing us to become part of your family.
I appreciate that 😀
I love your living
Tipper your videos are so calming! You and your family are a salve for the times we are all going through.
almost halfway through watching and listening to your video, the sounds of summer caught me the most, the locusts (katydids), the bees buzzing, crickets. Makes you appreciate the season that you're NOT IN...and look forward to them. homegrown veggies, warm rain, thunderstorms.
But on the flipside with winter, the magic it can behold too! No mowing of grass, outside work, maybe a snow? (good one please, not a skiff!) and just feeling cozy and thankful that you have a warm house and many other blessings. Pray for those who dont. As always thank you for your wonderful videos and sharing them and your family with all of us. We are blessed to live here in Appalachia! Sherry
Thank you Sherry! I feel the same way 😀
I’ve tried many recipes that I’d forgotten about. I lived in NC for 20 years & now I’m thinking it’s time to move back!! Thanks for sharing all the great traditions!!
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Keep Paps tradition going😃 Hang a cup out by that creek in his memory. That would be sweet and maybe Grandkids will carry on the tradition 🥰
Can’t wait!
😀
Thankyou all so very much for your efforts last year and for allowing us to join the family in many things.
All the very best wishes to you all for 2023.
Thank you so much for sharing a bit of heaven on earth! Bless you and your family.
It's a blessing people can still live out in God's country like this today. Wish I could; but glad someone can. 😃
11:57 I think I see rattlesnake green beans growing, and later on, Cherokee purple tomatoes-love both!
I remember that about the oatmeal I would always dump the oatmeal out to get the glass my goodness how times have changed
Thank you Shirley 😀
Oh, the Spring thaw and the creek rushing. The sounds are visuals here are exquisite. Thank you!
I have loved every single bit of this. Especially the food lol.
Thank you 😀
Me too! I have been making biscuits, cornbread, fried potatoes, cookies, carrot cake and cheesecake. I gained some weight, but I enjoyed every bite! Just started going back to the gym last week.
What a beautiful family y'all are. So gracious so down to earth. I love hearing y'all sing & play and sitting down together to eat. God Bless you.
I like that song, "If today was the day." Tipper, how and when did you learn to play the guitar 🎸? I've always wanted to be able to play an instrument, but never wanted to enough, to practice until I could learn. I do love to sing. I guess that's my only talent to do with music.
I could go to sleep listening to this water flowing down the creek.
Just good ole country living that I love. Thanks. God bless.
I remember your first Cherokee purple tomato last year. They are the best.
They are so good 😀
Amazing how much different everything looks from Summer to Winter. In Summer everything is so green and the woods look like a jungle. Then in Winter the same scene looks so barren and different. You really notice the difference watching a video like this that has been filmed over months.
Y'all have your own little piece of heaven up there. It's so beautiful!
I remember! Thanks for sharing. I pray I am able to take care of my small garden spots. I am still in recovery from second ovarian cancer surgery. God bless us all.
I will pray for you!!
Praying for you dear! GOD bless
Praying for super healing and happiness!
Eat greens
prayers 🙏🏾
I absolutely LOVE your channel! Provides me with so much peace, away from this increasingly crazy world. Thank you for sharing peace.
Turnips raw, stewed, mashed, mixed with potatoes are the best. Mix in radishes with them. All so good. Those oatmeal prizes are collectors items today. Your Zinnias are the best. Those wonderful woods and all the secrets they hold. What a year.The sound of the creek stirs me deeply. The joyful music ❤ Thanks for another winner.❤
I remember the oatmeal glasses. I remember both the plastic glasses and the glasses You was talking about the creek, I lived in front of creek when I was growing up and I use to go to the creek and pray (my dad was a minister. I would pitch rocks in the creek it was 1of my favorite places to go.
I'm just now getting back home and settled in to catch up on a couple of weeks worth of your videos. Yes ma'am I remember the plastic "glasses" in Crystal Oatmeal very well. They had all sizes and colors. I believe they even had a small pitcher or something like that. My granny had scads of them. My PA and granny ate a bowl of that oatmeal, fresh eggs, cat head biscuits and either sausage or sawmill gravy every morning of their lives except the last two or three when in the nursing home. My Pa also saucered his coffee. They drew their water from a hand dug well right outside the back door and kept a bucket with a dipper for drinking on a table in the kitchen next to a wash pan. My grandpa's great-great-great grandpa and his two brothers came together from England to North Carolina. One stayed there. The other two came west. One stayed here in Tennessee and the 3rd brother went to California. Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it.
What a beautiful place God gave us in Western NC. We are so blessed. Thank you for the beautiful videos
How beautiful to see the passing of a year and all its seasons. Majestic and calming, the cycle of food and garden and family and music, the babbling brook and birdsong and singing insects. Thank you for sharing this- I feel grateful to be able to watch it and it moved my soul.🌱🌻🍁❄
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
I have been married 51 years!! I don’t live there anymore but yes I grew up in the mountains of WV. I am also a Retired RN.
Envy is not a good thing but it can’t be helped. Loved the entire video. Thanks
Tipper, I adore your videos, I am going blind, just starting my journey on TH-cam documenting the progress. I LOVE watching your videos because YOU understand the beauty in things. Not many people do, and they take it for granted. As someone who won't be able to appreciate those things for long, I thank you for showing and sharing. Greetings from South Carolina! ❤
Bless you! I'm so sorry you're losing your eyesight! I admire you documenting your journey. So glad you enjoy our videos!!
That breakfast looks amazing!
I really like Corie and Paul singing together. They sound really good.
Love seeing the hill side covered and now when you have it all cleared off and your raised planters set in. Such a good way to grow a garden.
Enjoyed the Scene’s From 2022! Love the Sounds of the Creek’s a Running! Thanks For Sharing!
Just beautiful, absolutely beautiful ❤️
Yeah, my favorite you tube family. Love you guys Tipper. You make my day.

Thank you all for sharing this beautiful place and so peaceful . God bless you all
I’m up at 4am and my mind is soothed watching this beautiful video Tipper! I can take on the day now! It’s 30ish, frosty here in Cleveland, the sun yesterday melted the beautiful blanket of snow we had Monday😊 Have a blessed day❤~Kathy
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
I grew up on a gravel road a mile off the "main" gravel road, lol. There was a spring by the road about half way along. Dad would keep a dipper there to drink out of. As a child the dipper stayed there for years before someone stole it. Then he tried old tea cups, china and plastic ones. They would always eventually get taken. It ticked dad off, he was always thinking of others and liked that travelers could stop and get refreshed.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Tipper! I love living in Appalachia too!
💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
❤so peaceful where y’all live ❤
😀 Thank you 😀
Thank you again Corrie. Blessed my day again!
What the world needs now, is more folks like your Family 👪

My wife was born way up in the blue ridge mountains in the log house her Granddad made that’s the we would do pick beans and all the stuff you would grow in a garden grandad plowed his garden with a horse.That’s how he made his living growing Tomatoes and apples and sold them I loved those days know all of them have passed on even my wife The we’re all religious’s so I know they are in heaven I miss those watching you family was like going back in time thanks so much .

Tipper I remember the glasses that you were talking about out of the oatmeal containers aswell. Such beauty!
Granny still has a few 😀
Lovely video 2 years later often watch agin as i lifts the spirit. 😊
Absolutely love this video. Brought me to tears remembering family summers in Kentucky, my grandparents lived there. We would stay all summer long. (We live on SE NC coast) I get to visit once every few years now. I catch myself still having the awesome mountain verbiage.. lol
I miss those family summers.
Great video, beautiful place, wonderful family. You are blessed.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
I waited until I had some uninterrupted time to "dig into" this delicious treat of a retrospective on the life of my favorite North Carolina family. I remembered watching many of the clips the first time around, but found myself smiling as I recalled them with familiarity. Everyone of your subscribers is the better thanks to your charming example of family life and simple pleasures.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words 😀
i loved your video. I can see the love you two have for each other. My husband and I never celebrated Valentine's day either. He always said that if we treat each other with love, that every day was Valentine's day. He was right and he did.
This is awesome tipper ! Beautiful day to be outside, feels like spring ...❤🙏
Thank you Ben 😀
I could eat that meal 3 times a day hahaha. Have a blessed day Pressley/Wilson family. We thank the Lord for meeting y'all. I'm disabled and your channels really make my day. I love history & my ancestors come from Ireland & Kentucky. Ann McGinty brought the first spinning wheel to Kentucky.
Thank you!! So glad you enjoy our videos 😀
I'm really looking forward to looking backwards with you!
😀
This video is so beautiful. Loved the sound of the creek and the rain.. Everything is so green, absolutely stunning property. Enjoy your videos so much. Many blessings in 2023.
Thank you very much!
Great looking meal and always love the music. Beautiful Corey, you have a beautiful voice.
We were small town city folk but had farming relatives and friends. Course. Dad and my grand parents all had big gardens when I was growing up. Anyway many in town and most farms had an old cast iron hand pump that stood somewhere in the yard and most had an old tin cup hanging on it. Nobody ever said anything about sharing it! It was no big deal back then! 😁 Also beings Kansas has adequate wind, windmills were everywhere. Especially, western Kansas it was used for watering farm animals and gardens in early years. But nice cool windmill flow was wonderful and refreshing to drink right out of the pipe. AND many people had a cup hanging on this as well. 😁
Thank you for sharing these memories.
God bless all here.
Love those water memories 😀
The live was awesome thanks tipper I really loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a beautiful creek. So peaceful.
Can I come live with y'all 😛I just love your family and the beautiful music, singing , food and love! You are such a special family. Hope y'all have as wonderful new year as you are!😘👍👏
Your banana pudding reminded me of a story my Aunt told me(My Dad's family was all raised in Western NC). She was the administrator at Hopkins Children's Center many years ago. They had a little guy who was very ill and all he wanted was banana pudding. Well one nurse agreed to get it for him and it was just that banana pudding. He was so disappointed, my aunt said to him I know what you want and went home and made a huge bowl. Everyone at Hopkins found out what real banana pudding is.
Love that memory!
Great movie on 2022 🤗
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
So glad you filmed and combined it 😉
Tipper you have an eye for beauty 😍
@@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY You are so kind-thank you 😀

What a wonderful review, thank you Tipper. I really appreciate how much care Matt takes in starting a fire.

Thank you for this video. I enjoyed every minute.
Absolutely love this!! Beautiful! Sooo blessed ! And that French toast looked so yummmmy! God bless and lots of love! 🙏🏻💕🤗
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Oh what memories you induce. As a young boy I also loved to catch a grass hopper and tried to get him spit bacca juiice...just like my Great Grandpa Bradly who chewed plug Brown Mule all the time!
Thanks for sharing that beautiful year.
I loved this video. Especially all the outside parts. You were talking about the rock where you would go to get a cold drink from the creek and it made me think of my younger life. We lived out in an area that was gravel and still not very developed. You could walk or drive on both ways on the gravel roads and point out my dad's brothers place, his two sisters places with their husbands. There were really no fences or line divides. I guess everyone knew where their property lines went to. It all started with my grandparents and we were lucky enough to live next door to them. It was so much fun. We could walk through the fields and go to our cousins house to play, play in their barns, go fishing in their ponds, and ride their horses. The adults had a giant garden together along with grape vines and apple and pear orchards. You should take us on a tour of how close you live to granny and to your brothers without giving away any identifying information. Just since I've gotten married in the last 30 years are the road all paved now. People have died and then others have moved out, and some of the old home places are empty. It's kind of sad because what once belonged in our family for several miles has all changed around. There are still a few, but very few and I will always miss those times. Thanks for reminding me. Sorry I overshared.
So glad you enjoyed it! What wonderful memories you have-thank you for sharing them 😀
