    Ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!
    I’m 60 years old . I’m a Lumbee Indian from Pembroke N. C.
    My daddy had a truck just like that when I was a little girl. But it didn’t have the wooden rails .
    My daddy passed away in 2016. A few days before his 83rd birthday. My husband passed away 2019. I’m depressed but seeing this truck made my day. Thank you for sharing.

    That Meeting Hall is EVERYTHING! Thx for sharing the small town parade - LOVED IT!! Love the truck (and color) too! I hope he parks it near the road so the neighbors can see it (I'd want to if I was your neighbor!)

    OH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOVE the truck!!! 😊😊
    I can’t believe the Reed & Barton bowl price, my jaw headed southward when I saw price!!!!! How WONDERFUL! As always I find so many ideas when watching the latest video. LOVE the arrangements. Also, I have the largest glass flower frog myself. As I watched you continue to unwrap so many I truly was flabbergasted. They are a great addition to any collection of items used in making arrangements. This was a GREAT video, LOVED the parade, thank you both for taking us along to a typical small town New England Christmas parade-it was FUN 🤩 !!

  • @dawndawn6946
    @dawndawn6946 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How fun! That’s a beautiful truck! I loved all your greenery. I didn’t much greenery this year, but you’ve inspired me to add some. It’ll add a cozier atmosphere after I take he Christmas decor down.

  • @nancychestnut8928
    @nancychestnut8928 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A small town parade is the best because you know everyone participating! The church looks beautiful. I could watch your videos all day. In fact, I think I have on several occasions. I have the same silver bowl with the red ornaments. It's in my "donate" box but its coming out and will be filled with vintage Shiny Brites. You're really on to something with your videos. Thank you for your hard work.

  • @downbytheriver6987

    One of the things I love watching is how much you and your husband are such a great fit. I have been a realtor and home builder my whole life and the way you two came together on moving and finding a new home is pretty rare. I always felt more like a marriage therapist than a realtor or builder. Way to go setting a great example on marriage among other things ❤🙏

    Everything is so beautiful, you are so amazing. I sit and watch your videos and am so impressed on how much you have accomplished with all you have had to do with your move, and yet you are still able to provide such great videos. My favorite is the Staffordshire table setting. I love the elegant rustic style. And that truck is fantastic. Great job.

    Oh that truck is gorgeous! I have always wanted one of these old trucks!! My dad collected old cars and would drag me to the Iola Car Show every year as a kid. I hated it then, but ended up growing such an appreciation for old cars now! It is my dream to have one of these old trucks or a Wagoneer!

We both just sit and watch you with Awe! We both love the eagle mirror and the greens and ribbon Wow A really beautiful look. Ben's truck is perfect and looks great parked by your home. The hometown parade was fun Thank you for sharing that just like I was standing there watching with you! There is nothing better than a New England Christmas 😊

    I really liked the greenery arrangement you made. I liked watching the Christmas table scape and parade even though its June and tomorrow we are celebrating fathers day. I ❤ Ben's truck. Love the color.. I want an old pick up truck for yard art. We have been looking. It doesn't need an engine, seats and it can be a rust bucket. My husband wants to clear coat over the rust, put solar or electric lights in the headlights and I will do the decorating. We use to own our own classic body shop, so this would be a fun project!

    Linda, I have been busy today doing wreaths and a mantle garland, using greenery from my garden.
    Thank you so much for your videos which have encouraged me to get ready for Christmas. Our family in England will not be with us this year, due to the Covid Omicron variant outbreak, so I needed to get over the disappointment. Thank you Linda for inspiring me!!
    I was thrilled to see your soup bowls on the first place setting. They are Spode’ Pink Camilla’. I have gradually been collecting this for some time now and I use it every Christmas!
