Flower suggestion: MOON FLOWER
It grows like a morning glory vine. Flowers are white, and it smells absolutely exotic !!!
Can buy the seeds easily and plant soon. You can train them where to grow.
Your home looks nice!
Have visited the links you post but have not ordered anything we don’t use credit cards. We do have a credit card so I like for one of my girls do the ordering for me because my eyes aren’t the best in the world. I go to the links often. Thank you for doing that for us.
Daddy Matt is saving them a fortune!! Great to have a dad that can do everything!
Thank you 😊
For sure. Maybe needs to bless those without the knowledge with his knowledge.
That’s a fact!…his skill and labor is worth a fortune!…and bonus that all of it’s being done with so much love…Matt is a true blessing and defines what a Dad is and should be. Blessings❤
They are the Most Supportive Family ... W🌸W !!!
Amen, I hope he's teaching his son-in-law, for sure.
Matt is a great carpenter.
What a blessing for the kids to have him to help.
Thank you 😊
Me: I Detest microwaves !!! Anything cooked in a microwave comes out DEAD FOOD, NO NUTRITION ! 😩 Takes mins to use the stove.
Trying to save you time, Matt.😄 Don't cut those cabinets.
I 💗 the Kitchen !!! BEAUTIFUL !!!
I cried when you said you took the Gas out. I 💗 to cook on gas.
And teach! ❤

Been thinking about & praying for Katie. I had postpartum depression & wasn’t really aware that I did. My mom came & stayed with me & was a huge help but when she left to go back home because she was going back to work I cried. I was surrounded by family but it wasn’t anything I was aware of or even knew I had. Please check on her as her situation is much different than Corie’s will be. A lot has happened - losing Miss Cindy, Granny’s cancer, being a single mom. It’s a lot and she may be suppressing some of it. Like I said I was surrounded by family & didn’t even know I had it.
Thank you for thinking of her 😊 she is doing good right now
Prayers for Katie 🙏🙏🙏 & much love to her & baby ❤❤❤
@@CelebratingAppalachia Does Katie live with you and Matt?
@@francesrivard She does 😊
My husband just said, "Now Matt can do yalls garden, and granny's garden, and Paps big field, then come down and till and plant Cories garden". He is amazing and yall are blessed. But he is blessed to have you too. ❤️. Have a great week grandma and papaw.
😊 thank you
@@CelebratingAppalachiaare y'all gonna follow the same pattern with your grandchildren as your parents with their grandchildren? Everyone calling them that! Your mother called "Granny",your daddy called "Pap",& Matt's mother as "Miss Cindy"?
😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@vernareed2692 😊we are Papaw and Grandma 😊unless the little ones change it
@@CelebratingAppalachia we always called my dad`s dad paw and i always thought we were saying paul. hes real name was walter. he was in ww1 and was in france during that war. he was an orphan taken in by a kind family around 1890.
Hearing about how close your family is makes me so happy. I feel so sad for those who have not known that kind of love. Love and family are the really only important things in this world besides knowing Christ. All else will fall away, but love stays.
You two are a perfect example of what this world needs as what a family should be. There would be more peace and friendship.
You are so kind thank you 😊
Being a new grandmother will make you forget everything but the baby!! Speaking from experience.
😊
So very true
From another Meme…Absolutely true lol
I love at the end after you sign off where you and Matt just talk. Matt just lets his body completely relax and his true personality comes out. You relax too. It's fun to hear y'all laugh about past memories of the things the kids said or did growing up. Those moments really make me smile.
So glad!
Wow, Matt! That is an enormous amount of work you’re doing for the kids!!
WoW!!!! Look at those cabinets and countertops!!!! Great Job ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Matt is the Energizer Bunny. He just keeps a going. Matt's work is saving Corie and Austin alot of big money. I hope he gets his tractor tiller fixed soon, and he can get to use his new tractor. He is amazing at all the things he can do. CLAPPING HANDS FOR MATT! 👍 😊
I prefer gas heat and gas stove/oven. For one thing, here in Pittsburgh Duquesne light is VERY expensive!! Another reason is with gas stoves, if a storm takes out the electricity, we can still cook!
My brother loved that too 😊
Me too!
duquesne light is so high, i am thinking of moving to ohio. It is crazy. I live in Rochester, PA ( next to beaver, pa )
@@georgiaturner8210I think gas cooks way better than electric!! It's much easier to cook even! And even in the winter you can turn on the burners if necessary in the really cold winter for heat!
I Cried !!!
Matt is a perfectionist,which is rare! He takes pride in his skills.
😊 thank you
That medicine cabinet came from Three Mountaineers, a company in Asheville that produced wood products. I have the same one! My husband worked there for a while.
That is awesome!
It's beautiful!
I had a sister, who has since passed, she would use nothing but gas, I don't like it, I'm afraid of gas. Matt is such a great Dad and such a blessing to all of you. I can't wait until Lil bit starts following him around. Both you, Miss Tipper and Matt are in for such joy and happiness with both the babies. God Bless. How's Granny.? I'm also so happy Austin and Corie got the house. I wish for them many. many happy years in their new home and what a blessing to be so close to Mom and Dad.
Thank you so much!! Granny is doing good.
I've watched y'all for years but I have never commented. I always find it so wonderful to see how much I have in common with y'all. I was born and raised in rural Ohio and all my kinfolk were from the hills of Kentucky and West Virginia. God bless you and yours in these troubling times. ❤
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
We sure would like to hear more about the new baby.
Those counter tops look beautiful. How nice to have the house stay in the family. I so much enjoy sunday evening. Feels like I'm right there visiting. Praying for Granny, Corie and Austin and baby, Katie and Ira and you and Matt too. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you!!
In New Hampshire we have "False Spring." Gets our hopes up and crash!!!
Yes. Hes truly a jack of all trades, a master, such a blessing!
It would be a dream to live near and be so close with family. Enjoy your blessings!🌼
There’s just something about getting a “new” home. Fresh paint, new light fixtures, spruced up kitchen. Sounds like they’re ready to start fresh. I’m so happy for them.
Thank you 😊
Snow, rain, 40 mph winds here in Wyoming. Wife made a spiral cut ham and a crock pot of beans plus corn bread . Were good here.
Sounds great!
Here in western north Texas, when the Mesquite trees start to bud out we can be sure that there will be no more freezes. Mesquites are the last to bud, so when they start showing green, spring is here for certain.
You two are just the sweetest couple..love your family ❤️
😊 thank you
WHAT. A. PRECIOUS. TIME. Grandbabies. House remodel. Garden expanded. A Full House, indeed! Love your content, kids. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Love Matt's shirt! Maybe one day I will share my and my brother's terrifying bigfoot encounter a mile high in elevation in the saddle between Bob bald mountain and Hangover mountain in Nantahala in the middle of the night.
Your carpentry looks beautiful. It’s very nice that you are helping your daughters. I love that.😘🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
I was so tickled to hear you saying your daughter said she wanted to be a cooker. One of my little grandsons told me that I was a "good cooker" when he stayed with me years ago. I thought it waa so cute & have never forgotten it. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Love that!
Love the comment! My son when little told me too , that I was a good cooker girl ..made my heart swell. You just dont forget that.
I think it's neat how it's come full circle. Your Dad and Matt worked together building your house and now Matt and his Son in law Austin is working on their house. The countertops are beautiful. Hope you find out something about the tiller. Yall have a blessed night.
How wonderful the kitchen will be for the young family !! Beautiful!! How wonderful to have a dad like Matt !! A beautiful blessed family!!
Corrie & Austin are so blessed by Matt. Everything looks beautiful! I know they are grateful to you both.
The work Mat is doing is amazing. Corey and Austin are very lucky to have you all being able to do all this work. This is a great video. Love to all the family.
Thank you 😊
This is a whole new Volume of their lives. Babies !!!!
How wonderful that Matt can do so much of the work. What a beautiful family you have. Your videos bless me!
Thank you so much!
Corie is gonna love the big kitchen. And those countertops and cabinets are beautiful.
And the closet doors Matt was putting up. He does excellent work.
God bless y'all. Love and prayers. 🙏❤
Thank you 😊
Those countertops turned out beautiful! Matt has done such a good job on everything. Corey and Austin are blessed to have him doing their renovation.
One largely forgotten term for a patch of cold during the springtime is Linsey-Woolsey Britches Winter. “Linsey-Woolsey britches” is an old nickname for long johns, usually spun from a combination of linen and wool. This end-of-spring cold snap marked the day when the Linsey-Woolsey britches could be packed away for the season.
Love that one!
My mom and one of my grandmother's used gas stoves.
I prefer gas because if power goes out we can still cook and even heat if need be.
My brother loved that about gas 😊
Matt you’re a wonderful dad always helping your daughters. You are doing a great job on Corie’s to do list 😊she and Austin will have a beautiful home and she will have her dad and pap’s hands all over it how special that is ❤️
Thank you so much!
Tipper, I’m so happy. After seeing your video about potatoes, I found one in my bin with eyes. I cut in half and put it in a grow bag last weekend. Went to check on it and it’s growing! I’m so proud😊
That is cool!
That is great!
Here in Tennessee, we have already moved our lawn twice, the kitchen is looking really nice, Matt is truly a handyman.
We have several winters too in Idaho. Early winter, mid winter, late winter and next winter.
😂😂😂😂❤
😊
You forgot mud winter 😂😂😂. TeresaSue
😂😂
Yes…..we are always preparing for next winter 🥶😳
Everyone needs a Matt in their life but it's really great when he's family!!!! House is looking super!
Not too late to restart your peppers! They don’t like the cold. A new start might surprise you. I was taught to plant garlic on the shortest day of the year and harvest on the longest.
Thank you 😊
You are right! And they produce until frost as well!
It snowed here in Utah yesterday. Ugh!! 😢
I'm so ready for Spring and warm weather!
🌷🪻☀️
Gas is useful to have as a back-up in case you lose power, if a tree falls on cables etc. ADORE Miss Cindy’s cabinet. It’s stunning.
Thank you 😊
Yes, I meant to comment on that too. It's beautiful and such a lovely reminder to Corie of her Grandmother.
Love the plywood counters Matt.My husband is a retired jack of all trades but is a licensed carpenter.Thank you Tipper.I know you appreciate Matt as much as I appreciate my husband.You are all very blessed that is plain to see❤
Y'all make me so happy. Just thinking about Austin and Corie in their new home getting ready for their little guy coming soon and picture them using all the things that Matt has done makes a heart feel good.
Thank you 😊
I so enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for letting us in to see your lives. That's a hard thing to do. I lived three and half years in Tennessee. I had a really nice neighbor lady who was born and grew up in the town I lived in. Actually grew up in the house we lived in. I met her because we bought her parents' house after her dad passed. She lived two doors down from us. She could tell me all about the neighborhood. I enjoyed her stories and she enjoyed mine. I have never lived anyplace longer than 16 years. She thought I had the best stories to tell. It was so nice to enjoy each other.
Shucks! Hate that I’ll miss you guys in Ringgold and that they’ve had issues there at the restaurant, however I know with all you guys have going on between family, babies, helping with the move, gardening and other things…I’m sure it will lighten the load a bit. I’ll try to catch you guys down the road sometime! Right now spending time with the new grandbabies and enjoying time together is the best thing to enjoy! 😊
Thank you 😊
It's cold here in Georgia the wind is strong like March winds some time seeds get old and want grow sometimes it's best to get new plants the house is looking good good luck on everything love you all and God bless all
Thank you 😊
Beautiful kitchen! I so enjoy hearing about your projects. You're going to be making so many wonderful memories to treasure having your grandsons living so close by!! So happy for all of you.❤️
I got married in 1972 at the courthouse in Ringold. Was my favorite place to go.
My Grandmother told me when the dogwoods are blooming, the crappy were biting. I’ve never heard of whippoorwill winter. Thanks for the video! Always look forward to Sunday afternoons.
So glad you enjoyed it!
So wonderful that Matt can do all this awesome work on the kids' new home! Wow! Those countertops are the best! The Lord sure did answer prayers for Corie & Austin getting that home. 🙏🏻 Project Manager Olive was performing inspections while y'all were sitting there & she is issuing a pleased certification of occupancy. 👍🏻😊 Anyway, this is all so exciting, what a true blessing all around! 🙏🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
I’m so disappointed that Ringgold cancelled! I live a stones throw from downtown Ringgold (all 2 blocks of it) and I was SO EXCITED to meet you! But, I’m so pleased for your family. It’s just growing and blossoming much like your garden!❤TN Nana
I'm sorry too. Thank you 😊
Ringgold Georgia?
@@tinabuggy5632 yes
Matt is just like my husband…a man of all trades. He has done, and still does, a lot of work like this for my daughter and her husband. He’s saved them a ton of money. ♥️
I wish we lived closer to your family. We live in a beautiful town 25 miles south of Portland, OR in the Willamette Valĺèy. We love your family and you are remembered in our prayers. ❤
Thank you!
We refer to “coves” as small inlets or small bays along the coast. Funny how words are used differently in other parts of the country!
@TIPPER GOD BLESS YOU ALL. HEARING YOU TAKES THIS OLD MAN BACK TO MY YOUTH..
Thank you!!
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣🍼
Thank you 😊
My goodness you two are the best! ❤ & Prayers
Using the Farmers Almanac to mow once a month during the Best Days "mow to discourage growth" I mowed our entire acreage only 5 or 6 times a year for the past few years. It takes a month or two for it to really tame the growth but if you are consistent, it does work. Less fuel, less time, less dread.
Matt is learning what my uncle learned. He is going to be busier in retirement than he was when he worked.
Matt I can say both as the child of a person who was a great carpenter/fixer and now being a mom who can fix and do alot, your kids will love you forever for all your help. Even if they ever forget to tell you, you are so appreciated! Everything looks so lovely!
thank you 😊
I also love visiting with you , even if only on screen , it's a happy time❤
Love it when you share your Appalachian dialect. I live in Maine so quite different 🙂 Great job Matt with the countertops , they are beautiful! 🥰🥰
I’m a Mainer also and have learned so much about Appalacia since finding Tipper. I love everything about her family and their lifestyle! So glad I found this channel!
Tipper these videos where you and Matt just talk are so heartwarming. You're probably about a decade younger than my parents but it makes me think of them every time and smile. And ps, I love those hot chocolate mugs!
That kitchen has such enviable storage! Wowww. 😊
Working for yourself and working from home is a blessing! So happy for Matt. He totally deserves it! Tipper, great video as usual. Was eating cream buscuits made with your recipe while watching this awesome episode.
Love that! Thank you 😊
Tipper, you are a blessed woman to have a man like Matt, and he is equally blessed to have you! Matt is not only skilled, but also motivated, which many men lack. And Tipper, you are so talented and have so much common sense about life. Thank you both for sharing with us!
Ya'll are special. Thank You Jesus for blessing western NC.
Gas is better to cook and bake with and cheaper…at least that is my opinion. So happy for all of you! ❤
Wow chilly over there .,it’s hot in the 80s here in Texas and where I’m at there’s hasn’t been any rain. I think it’s been going all around us.🌱🌱
That is warm 😊
I’m in Texarkana. And it’s in the 80’s here also
Living in upstate S.C. I was told that a cove has water around the area, and the hollow is between 2 hills. I say over there and down yonder and up here or up there. I'm so happy to see that you have both of your girls so close to you 💗. Keep me in your prayers, and I will keep you in mind. ❤❤❤
Matt s a blessing 😊
Having been "stung" by Stinging Nettle more than once when visiting my late husband's family in Cornwall, UK, you may rethink growing it even if it is medicinal. If it escapes into the wild, you may be cussing it under your breath for decades.
Hi Matt and Tipper. I found your "Celebrating Appalachia " channel and find it so fascinating. I live in New Zealand on the opposite side of the world from you guys so we are in the autumn ( fall) season heading into winter. Thank you for sharing your family with us and enjoy the good life with those grandies. They will bring you so much joy and keep you young. Cheers💕
Saying hollow instead of holler don't sound right to the ears just like saying caint instead of can't comes natural and so many others. Slide up is probably cause if you slide big your feet go up in the air lol. It's so interesting to see the progress on Austin and Cory's house and such a warm feeling with the family history to it. Thank you for all the wonderful content you share with us.
This has been a wanderfull visit, I've not been up to par lately, hope to get things together again soon . God Bless. 💕 & 🙏er's to all. Jean
Matt, those countertops look so beautiful . You are very talented. 😊
In Oklahoma a cove is an inlet in a lake. Language is very interesting.
Your counter tops came up well, very surprising for plywood. The finish looks great. I always have to check on a map when you talk about your area and did not realise you were so close to the ocean.
I'm with Matt that I can't wait to see the paddock planted and thriving. All the best wishes to you all
I live in Pennsylvania and we get freezing winters. Of all things for the first time I have 19 Basil plants come up ❤ from last yr.
That is awesome!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Love those counters, what a beautiful kitchen
So cool watching their house come along. Thank you for sharing Tipper and Matt.
My mama was born in Waynesville, I have family in Clyde too! Love Haywood County ❤
Absolutely love watching your videos. So much love and it shows.God Bless you guys ❤
Enjoy visiting with you guys so much
I love sharing your lives so I hope you can continue on. Seeing you help the kids move in reminds me of my parents helping us move into our first house and all the remodels. Yes, when the time came, I was there for them. I had to fly in by then but I was there.
Enjoyed this sit down chat ❤
As far as I remember, I punched a time clock at two jobs during the late 1970's. I worked at a taco place for two weeks, then was a ride operator at an amusement park a year or two later.
Matt is a great guy. He has so many skills.
What a Blessing to have parents that really help! Blessings ❤❤❤
What a blessing to have a man like Matt who can do so many things to help Austin & Corie getting their new home in order & the way they want it. Those kitchen cabinet tops already look beautiful. Corie is going to love having so much counter space.
I love visiting with y’all! My family, (parents, sister and aunts/uncles/cousins) were and still are very close like your family. There is NOTHING better!
Bless you!🙏🏻❤️
Wishing you and your family the very best ❤
Excited to see you again in Knoxville.
