Blessed without a doubt 🙏 to be sure there are plenty of struggles we don’t share about on here, but we’ve got more than our fair share to be grateful for too! 🥲😍
Brandon - please let me know when you release your banjo album. I'd love to buy a copy. Total chill-time vibes. Sarah - I hurt my back just watching you do that yoga pose.
Goodness what gorgeous surroundings!!! Your finishing touches with the plants and shelving are beautiful! Y'all look like you always have a good time. It was fun hearing Brandon on the banjo again. Sincerely, an old hippy.
Hey,Hey!! once again Mr Brandon is off the charts, Hilarious! Banjo playin' and Singin'! Love It! Yall really deserve a break that is so true. Also thank you for answering my silly question about how and when you do service on your boat motors. I was really curious about that. Mr Brandon seems to be extra sharp on all of that stuff. Both of you are just soo down to earth, and simple folks, trying to live a dream. Love all your video's!!
So nice to see you relaxing and enjoying yourselves after all that hard work!! You are really selling this lifestyle. I love the water and the land - you have the best of both!! 🙏❤❤❤
I grew up spending summer vacations at Lake Fontana. In fact , I learned to water ski there - or maybe I should say I drank a lot of the lake water there - either way; I have fond memories of this lake. My husband and I took the train over the lake last year - it was so nice to see the boat house. We now need to plan another trip so I can spot your home & even possibly stay in your rental. We are from the foothills of NC and enjoy your channel.
Love your distinction about drinking the lake water 🤣 that’s definitely how that goes! Haha. Would love to have y’all up for a visit! Sounds like it would be extra-special with your upbringing 💙 let us know if we can help make it happen!
Great picking. What a great way to live. You are blessed to know how to live while young and not burden yourselves under piles of bills. The flowers are perfect.🎉
I am loving it! I hope that me and my family can book your rental in the future because I really want to hang out with you and Brandon. Yall definitely seem like our kind of people!!!!!!!!!!!
Just found you guys! Love this! I lived on a 130ft tug boat in Sausalito, CA. I now live on 7 acres in Florida. Would love to be back on the water. What a beautiful lake!
You guys have created a lovely life. All your hard work is paying off! Congratulations and wishing you many blessings for your future! I lived in Wilkesboro for a while and they had a huge lake we would go to. It was lovely, I don’t remember the name and I haven’t been back in over 30 yrs, but I cherish those memories!
Aww thank you so much! 🤍 nothing like memories on the water. Are you living in Key West now?! (guessing bc of your username haha). We love visiting the Keys!
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses I swear I feel like I personally know ya'l lol, but that's just who you, as they say you are "Good People" Just love your channel look forward to your posting always.
makes sense! I think we only love the heat so much because we experience the cold half the year. Would probably want the cold if we always had it warm! 🙌
I must say it's gorgeous where you live, I'm from New York City 🏙️🌆 and your location just looks like a dream, Paradise. God bless guys. Has to be awesome waking up to water and trees 🌲🌲 and OMG those mountains 🌄 are exquisite. Enjoy lovely people.
After a stressful day of doing very little, (I'm retired) your videos always help me relax and let the day go. I've been to North Carolina two times. in the 60's. Love the country but don't like the politics. California has been home for almost 50 years. Still wanting to live in the country/mountains some day. You two have done a fantastic job and have two beautiful homes now. Thanks for sharing them with me.
Hahah so happy you enjoy the videos! we’re biased but western NC sure is a special place. Hard to beat some of the scenery. out on this lake everyone calls it “the bubble” because the rest of the world, politics & all, feels like it doesn’t exist when you’re here 🙏 we love that. thank you for watching and following along!!
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses If I had a place someplace more fun I would definitely do that! But I am in a big city and honestly not that nice of a place. But who knows maybe in the future. Or if I hear of anyone that has something cool in Florida.
👌🏻👍🏻❤🙏🏻 Your home is 🐝autiful! Would LOVE a place like yours to live in but sadly we live in a nabourhood near a university with lots of noisy students all around😢 Been living here for over 40 years when it was still like living on a farm. Love and greetings, Sara from South Africa 🇿🇦
Haha those dang kids!! 🤪 bummer that it has changed so much, sounds like it was super peaceful.. I wonder if you could find a place that is still more like what your place used to be! 🤍
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses not a chance with what the Rand is worth now I doubt it. At least I know what I have now to the unknown. Love and greetings, Sara🇿🇦
We usually see them on FB marketplace or in certain facebook groups! (I.e. “fontana families for floating cabins”, “floating cabins & houseboats”, etc)
Love it when Brandon plays the banjo……..
The perfect blissful life. So fortunate. ❤️

Hi im a new subscriber from Philippines
woohoo! 🥳 welcome aboard
Are people able to build house boats and set them in the water like yours? or are they grandfathered in to be there.
They’re grandfathered in 👌 you can find one for sale every so often but just can’t put a new one in without purchasing an old one & demo-ing it first.
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses Is there a website that usually posts them for sale?
We usually see them on FB marketplace or in certain facebook groups! (I.e. “fontana families for floating cabins”, “floating cabins & houseboats”, etc)
Y’all live on a lake, so do you every go fishing?
Definitely! Hence all the trout we were eating in this video haha
