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.
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.
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.
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 😀
Can’t wait!
😀
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 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing a bit of heaven on earth! Bless you and your family.
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.
Oh, the Spring thaw and the creek rushing. The sounds are visuals here are exquisite. Thank you!
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 absolutely LOVE your channel! Provides me with so much peace, away from this increasingly crazy world. Thank you for sharing peace.
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.
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.
What a beautiful place God gave us in Western NC. We are so blessed. Thank you for the beautiful videos
11:57 I think I see rattlesnake green beans growing, and later on, Cherokee purple tomatoes-love both!
Y'all have your own little piece of heaven up there. It's so beautiful!
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 😀
I remember your first Cherokee purple tomato last year. They are the best.
They are so good 😀
Just good ole country living that I love. Thanks. God bless.
Envy is not a good thing but it can’t be helped. Loved the entire video. Thanks
Yeah, my favorite you tube family. Love you guys Tipper. You make my day.
You are so kind 😀 Thank you
Only family I watch.❤
@@EuleneWages4644 You are so kind-thank you 😀
Just beautiful, absolutely beautiful ❤️
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 😀
Enjoyed the Scene’s From 2022! Love the Sounds of the Creek’s a Running! Thanks For Sharing!
It's a blessing people can still live out in God's country like this today. Wish I could; but glad someone can. 😃
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.
Loved the video, you live in a beautiful place, you really do have a wonderful life.
Thank you Brenda 😀
Thank you all for sharing this beautiful place and so peaceful . God bless you all

You're the best Ben! Thank you 😀
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!

❤so peaceful where y’all live ❤
😀 Thank you 😀
That breakfast looks amazing!
Delicious meals and a beautiful garden. Blessings for a healthy, happy, and holy New Year.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Tipper! I love living in Appalachia too!
💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watching Matt build that fire made me wonder, do y’all heat with wood mostly, or a combo? I’d love to see a video with tips for how to heat efficiently with wood. We have both. I feel like we just blow it all out the chimney and it’s just for the ambiance 😂. I’d love a lesson or 2 on doing it properly.
😀 Thank you for watching! We prefer to just use the wood, but we do have electric heat too. Our set up is really simple-the basement is where the stove is and its an unfinished basement so the heat rises to the upstairs 😀
Hi Tipper, was wondering if you have much trouble with grubs eating your veggie gardens. Mainly tomatoes. I get so disheartened when I spend so much time and effort only to be ruined by grubs or cabbage moths 😊
Thank you for watching! I don't have too much trouble with them but we fight bean bugs every year 😀
This fall I went through my raised tomato bed with a trowel & worked up the soil, found over 50 grubs snuggled in for winter! And it was a new bed. Well they went to the neighbors Guinea!
@@cheryllamb8831 recycling...lol
The title of this vlog should be, "Life is Good".
😀
Tipper, This video was wonderful you and your family live the good country way with big garden ,good food homemade jellies , garden food and looked like some good deer meat and eggs from the hens you have . You haves lots of green beans and canned garden veg.I like the beautiful music 🎶. I hope to see more wonderful videos in the coming year!!😊
Tipper, I adore your videos, I am going blind, just starting my journey on UA-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!!
I love that creek, it would be the ideal place to play on a hot summer day. Tipper, ur ancestors would be so proud of the way u & ur family have so gently tamed that forest that they discovered so long ago. U make us all want to move in with u.
Fried okra sliced tomatoes it don't get any better than that
We need to see your Chickens again that was too quick lol
Cannot wait to see you and your beautiful family!
Thank you 😀
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.
Oh, I forgot to ask, what is it that was being sprinkled on the beets that were going to be dried? I got a dehydrator for Mother’s Day last year and I love that thing! Blessings, TeresaSue.
😀 It was salt. They turned out great 😀
I'm really looking forward to looking backwards with you!
😀
Oh my...your videos make me so hungry!!! Your place is just beautiful. It's amazing all the work that goes into living on the Mountain homestead. Please keep doing what you do best..videos. Prayers for a great 2023
My New Year resolution is to watch more Granny videos.
😀 Thank you David
Beautiful enjoyed watched twice
Yay! Thank you 😀
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 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.
Enjoyed all the things remembering 2022 so much. From beautiful music, to pretty flowers, a delicious harden, sounds of the creek and more. Thanks for a lookback at all the things. 🌺🌶️🍉🍇
How do you get your potatoes crispy like that without burning them? 🤣
Check out this video to see Matt's method: ua-cam.com/video/BOq3BpPgkYs/v-deo.html Thank you for watching!!

I really enjoyed watching all these events from your year 2022...was a great year for ya'll that's for sure...your family is amazing and I hope you have another great year in 2023!!! God Bless🙏
Tipper, are you familiar with old Christmas? One of my Facebook friends made a post this morning saying, "Merry Old Christmas". I was lost as a goose so I started reading the comments. I learned that January 6th is old Christmas and you shouldn't take your decorations down until then. Also they were telling that supposedly if you go out tonight you'll see the animals kneeling to pray. This is a new one on me. By the way, my friend that posted that lives in Bell County, Kentucky.
I do know about Old Christmas. We never celebrated it. I learned about it after I started writing about Appalachia 😀 I'm hoping to share a poem about it tomorrow 😀
What a great life style God Bless you all hope you have a great 2023 .
This was a great video Tipper...I love where ya'll live with all the woods & creeks...was that blackberry jelly you were making in the beginning? That & the grape jelly looked so good...so did the other food...loved ya'll singing...have a good evening...
Thank you 😀 It was mulberry 😀
Love from Michigan!!
Thank you Lisa 😀
Watching this makes me hungry great video!
The live was awesome thanks tipper I really loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is beautiful were you are at, fresh mountain water.
Thank you 😀
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 😀
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 😀
Thank you a lot Tipper.🙏
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 😀
What a wonderful review, thank you Tipper. I really appreciate how much care Matt takes in starting a fire.
Hi Tipper
Beautiful video ,just lovely 🤗
Thanks for sharing with us !!
Brenda
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Such a beautiful place with beautiful people to go with it. 🥰
Thank you again Corrie. Blessed my day again!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video Miss Tipper, it brought back so many great memories from watching pretty much ALL of your videos in 2022. Thanks for putting this one together, it was also very peaceful and relaxing. Looking forward to watching more in 2023. Robbie lynn and I hope to get to visit Wilson Holler again real soon. Praying 2023 is another prosperous year for you all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Pastor Lon! We can't wait to visit with you both again 😀
Tipper I remember the glasses that you were talking about out of the oatmeal containers aswell. Such beauty!
Granny still has a few 😀
What's for dinner
😀 It was an egg sandwich tonight
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed every minute.
This is real beautiful life
I love when you video the creek and I love banana pudding
Woohooo!!!
😀
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!
Looks like all the leaves came down all at one time.
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 love your video so much l watched it twice 😊
Love being included in your lives because it reminds me of my past family farm on Vashon island. Beautiful life beautiful family bless you for including us ❤️
Thank you so much!
Howdy folks love from TEXAS
Thanks for watching Tina 😀
I cannot tell you which part stands out more. I always love music, but I also love the porch sitting. The stories I love too as it always brings back such treasured memories. The creek, the walk in the woods, the garden...it is so hard to choose so I am not.
But the breakfasts being my favorite meal always makes me hungry. I think the fog on the garden is one of the prettiest sites too. The wedding was beautiful, but watching them grow as a couple has been awesome too! Well my prayers for yall is as happy a 2023 as 2022 was. God Speed and God bless! See ya in the spring God willing!! Have a great week my friend! ♥♥♥
Thank you Lacy!! We appreciate you 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia And I appreciate you all too!!
Love this
Great look back a a year gone by.. Didn't really realize how fast time was passing by. Lots of wonderful videos of you, Matt and the girls and m any other wonderful folks. Looking for to viewing all of your upcoming episodes.
So glad you enjoyed it-thank you 😀
What has been now comes round to what could be
Happy New Year, much love to all from Rhode Island .💙
Thank you 😀
So beautiful. Your garden area is amazing. I live on a little 1/3 acre in the suburbs. We have the back half of our backyard fenced off as a garden area. The squirrels ate ALL of my raspberries before I could and the birds ate the blackberries and the sunflower seeds. From now on, I have them netted which I don't like, because I worry about birds getting trapped in it. I don't know how you keep your garden so safe. :) Your videos make me happy.
Hello from Duncan Oklahoma.
Hey Linda 😀
Enjoyed this video of the past year.
Something new, I look forward to seeing!
Thank you Miss Cindy 😀
So enjoyable. Thanks Tipper!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the 2022 journey
You got me wanting some banana pudding now, lol. Have to have Nilla brand though-It's just not the same when you use generic store brands!
