It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the cabin! Joe & Parker are settling right in & it does my heart good to see Joe get so much time with him. They're like two peas in a pod! We'll see if Parker's little snare setup catches anything. Oh I can't wait to see his face when it does! Still getting used to the fact that this is real. The vacation isn't ending...Alaska life is everything we remembered it to be. Have ya'll started decorating for Christmas yet?
I can't stand a shower curtain touching me either, I specifically bought my camper because it had a glass shower door....the salesman thought I was nuts....lmbo
Omg when I saw Parker opening the truck door for you…. My cup runith over. What a little gentleman. You have raised him right. So very rare now days. Awesome job Parker.! ❤️
I can’t believe people are so critical. I had a terrible day at work today and a very bad month for sales. Not sure what the Lord is trying to teach me. Anyway, I came home and watched your video and it took me away to a completely different world that exists. I found myself smiling and even giggling. Keep doing what you’re doing because it does bring joy in my life. Thanks for letting me be a small part of your lives. ❤
Just want to say that Parker is one cool kid. He has so much self confidence. That is sooo obvious. Those who comment about concern for his social skills need to watch him closely. He does not have any issues. His parents have instilled this confidence. He is a handsome young man.
Lynn, thsnk you for the service to your Country. I served my USCoadt Guard gor 25 years. We would have a better world if everyone served their Country, even if it was for a couple of years. It btings a new perspective!
@@ileanaortiz38 this is exactly what my husband and I was talking about. My son is loving the Navy so far. He says that he met a lot of people there that already feel like he has known them a life time. Pray that he can make his running time, plank and set ups. Today is his day and I will be praying for him for this.!!!!
My husband actually started watching during Blessed and Beautiful, told me about your family and we’ve been hooked since. We LIVE it when you kindly correct people when they advise (such as how to talk to Parker [sugar plum muffin]or saying Joe’s name a lot!!!) LOVE IT. ❤ I offer up something g I’ve seen lately that we will be doing. We need extra storage in our kitchen. There are videos that you can remove kick plates and put under cabinet drawers and also add additional space to upper cabinets by adding space to top of ceiling. Worked well for us. Love that you read your Bible with the light from the lamp. My grandma had those lamps too but unfortunately, I lost all during the many military moves I’ve gone through. So happy for Parker that he got to shoot his first grouse. God bless you all! Thursdays are now our Home Free Alaska nights!!!
Sorry about 3 comments but I have to say the education your son is getting it going to be priceless. So many kids don't know how to be out in wilderness and hunt great job to you both!
Nothing like a glass of iced Baileys, light from an oil lamp and a fire in the stove on a winter night. Takes me back a few years. You’re making some good memories!
There are Sooooooo many parts of this video I loved! When your remarkable little man opened the car door for his Momma, when you said "Joe" a hundred times because Karen told you not to, when your doggos got warm jackets, the train around the tree!!! My goodness. I'm so happy I found you guys!!!
After seeing your video today. I went to Starbucks and I tried a grilled cheese sandwich with a peppermint mocha coffee. The grilled cheese sandwich is delicious. Thank you for recommending the grill cheese sandwich from starbucks.
Hi guys loved watching the puppies 🐶 with there new jackets n booties 😅too cute it’s wonderful seeing Parker learn how put a snare that’s great doing old school survival 🎉awsome god bless from Angie in San Antonio Tx thanks for the prayers love u guys
Thank you all for your service and sacrifice to our country. My husband and I watched the retirement video. No matter how many we have seen in person or watch on video it’s always emotional. So proud of all our Coasties. My husband was stationed at MLC back in 2000-2004.
When I saw Joe taking P out to set up the snares, I watched P’s face and saw the joy that he had being with his Dad and the special moments. It melted my heart. Again, I saw the look on both Dad and him with something else they were doing together. My first thought was how blessed P is having both of you home and spending good quality time with him. I felt in my spirit how so many children do not have this type of quality with their children. God bless each of you in all you do. Will your daughter make it home for Christmas. I love each of you and I get such a kick out of you saying Joe’s name. Lol 😂
Parker, I am impressed at your kindness to your momma by opening the door for her. What a gentleman. Joe, you are a great dad, how neat it was to see you on the polaris having fun with Parker. I do have a suggestion on giving your unwanted things away. There is a place called Turn A Leaf just up from the Wasilla Post Office on the right. They give back to the community the things that are donated. They use the money to help the community, too. When my late husband needed things like wheelchair, comod, ect, they let us use them for nothing. They resell things very reasonable. If you look on internet goodwill CEO's make a fortune and they have raised prices for those purchasing the donated item. Just a thought.
A-dorable! Loved the end of video funnies, you cracked me up 😄So good to see you and your family making memories, living a gracious life and enjoying your new little home, it's so cute and cozy! ☺
Newer subscriber. Enjoying the channel, but LOVING that snark ! Your face after that first sip of Bailey's - eye popping deliciousness. The house looks great and I am so happy for Parker living in such a beautiful part of our country.I pray the lower 48 get it together
Parker, I applaud you for being a gentleman and holding the car door for your mother. The tree looks terrific, and I love the little wooden tree. I was very interested in where you were going to set up the tree and trying to guess. I picked wrong! You guys are just having too much fun. Great video. Stay safe and warm.
Tina and Joe you have done a really good job raising Parker, what a nice polite kid. Tina I love the first part of the video how Parker opened the truck door for you. Your cabin looks nice and cozy. Good luck guys. ❤️❤️❤️. 🌞🇨🇦
That was the best video ever! Love how you are teaching Parker to take care of his Momma! I'm an old soul as well, and have about 6 oil lamps that I love using plus all the candles! I love the ambiance it gives along with our woodstoves crackling away!
I love how Parker open the door for his Mom that is so nice and what a gentlemen he is , love your lanterns , both the dogs are carrying the stick and love the red boots , Parker did a great job decorating the tree.
What gentlemen. I love that you are teaching him how to treat a lady. You just don’t see that now days. I can’t wait until you post the next video. I start looking the next day after you you post one. lol I m an older woman and not much for social media but I’m shut in can’t drive anymore so I have a lot of time on my hands. So glad I found your lovely family.
This is so beautiful..I prefer the bright blue grey white clouds and snowy silvery color scheme…this area is absolutely other worldly. Thank you for your videos😊
Very Nice Video! Looks like your settling in great. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Those dogs are well trained! The hutch looks great, as does the tree. I hope your neck is better!
Oh how I love your family. Always excited when a new video comes out. How is your neck doing. Loved seeing Parker open the door for you. The cabin is beautiful
Hi Carolyn! I actually saw the Dr yesterday finally for my neck. He thinks it’s an injury that needs more time to heal. I first experienced this in July & apparently continue to keep aggravating it…which isn’t allowing it to heal properly. He doesn’t feel it’s major like a bulging disc or anything & wants me to take it easy & monitor it. Thank you for asking, I appreciate that!♥️
Hallelujah good to see somebody taking care of their baby doggies out here in this cold cruel weather of a world congratulations girl you got your tops in my line Merry Christmas to you all thank God for good kind-hearted people love the doggy look I really really do!✔🍀💟💯🌷
It touched my heart when Parker was such a little gentleman to open your door for u.How sweet. He’s all boy though he loves his stuffed animals. Wow can’t believe someone said for u not to say your husbands name. Lol .your tree is pretty.
It's with a warm tug at the heartstrings that I watch each of your videos about my old home, Alaska. They are well made and make me miss Alaska more than ever. Thank you for loving that wonderful place as much as I.
Love the winter wonderland raceway with the Polaris. And Parker what a gentleman you are opening the truck door for your mom, so sweet. Y’all are so much fun.
We finally got our electricity back on after 30hour of being without power be prepared and stay warm God bless you and your family Amen from augusta West Virginia
Thank you so much for filling my day with joy, hope , laughter and the beauty of your family spreading love 💗 What an exceptionally kind and thoughtful child you have in Parker…he’s adorable. Tina, you totally cracked me up today with your comedy acts…so funny! Also, I am intrigued with how meticulously Joe installed the shower door👍 I wish I had known such professional, polite and caring people like you all are when I served in the military in the 1970’s! Continue to enjoy your new lifestyle in Alaska, away from all the craziness we are facing in these times of division. Again, thanks so much for sharing the true meaning of Christmas 🎄
Your videos bring such joy and smiles. Thank You. My hubby is a disabled Army Veteran. His dream is to live in Alaska. You can’t imagine the smiles you give. ❤❤❤❤❤
Loved watching this video. Interesting to see all you both get done. I love that Parker put the ornaments on the tree. He did a good job. Glad too he can spend time with his Dad. That means so much. I had to laugh when Joe put the balls on the deer head. Keep warm!!!
Bravo, a great inside view of real life and living in Alaska. The cabin decorations are great and could be located anywhere in the world. Joe is a treasure and a man of many talents that he picked up outside his Coastguard career. Setting rabbit snares and grouse hunting brings back some really old fond memories. Parker seems to be adapting well to his new environment and the positive effect of no video addiction is apparent. The filming is fabulous, Tina, both inside and outside. Much planning to both do the move and get set up Alaska was necessary and well done by both of you. The sense of humor throughout is a required survival skill in any environment. My mild ADD symptoms disappear while watching your videos. All the best in 2023 and beyond ! 👍🌲✔🙏🏻🎄🧔🏻👩🏻🧑🏻🐕🐕
You guys are one of the funnest families on UA-cam!!!! I LOL when you took a swig of that Baileys 🤣. Parker is such a gentleman to his mama and the ending was priceless!!! Merry Christmas and God bless!!!
Enjoy all your content. Such beautiful scenery and a lovely family. Don't worry about the negative comments, I'm sure there is way more positive, because you and your family are great.
I found you guys about 10 days ago, I love your channel. I think Parker is going to learn so much about living besides being home schooled. He’s going to grow up with so much knowledge, you both are great parents. I wish you nothing but the best in the coming years and continue what you’re doing.❤️
I am now in the Christmas spirit after watching your vlog! Thank you for sharing. You are awesome people and Parker is lucky to have parents like you and all these cool experiences that you are showing and teaching him. I loved that this was an hour long. 👍Can’t wait for the next one! Good bless you ❤️
Sis you can get new lantern parts at Lehman’s. They have everything for living off grid! They’re online and have a brick and mortar store. You can get pure paraffin oil so you won’t put toxins in your air. ❤
So beautiful! I bet the tree smelled amazing!! The real tree stock there sure looks a lot nicer than what’s available in the Midwest! Haven’t seen any that nice here. First Christmas in your new cabin will be such a special time. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
Oh my goodness Tina! You're an absolute riot!!! We're sitting here rewinding because we're laughing so hard at you!!! 😂 When you kept saying Joe Joe even more than you usually say Joe 😂 I said I bet somebody told her she says Joe too much( you don't) and so she's running with it!! And like a minute later you said that's exactly what happened! Lol YOU GO GIRL! So glad you don't let them tell you how to play with your husband or raise your baby. And the cross eyed face when you took that drink hilarious 😆. Love the beautiful white Alaskan Christmas 🎄⛄. We can't wait to see Alaska 🏔️ in our travels. God bless 🙏
I always think it is so funny when you say Joe a lot. LOL Especially since he is such a chatterbox. I don't know how you get a word in with him around. :) Your cabin is looking so cozy and wonderful. Happy holidays!
I'd be playing all day as an adult lol. That plow is awesome! Love seeing your videos!!! Parker seriously looks so natural..like hes been in Alaska forever. Love that Joe is such a hands on Dad....great video as always! Stay warm! Love from Delaware
You can try,disposable hand warmers both in mitten and boot,we're in lo teens now with little snow as well,and this is earliest we've had to use them. And because your eco friendly you might use mini,mini rice bags, they are warm but only a short time. Just keep warm , and enjoy the bright shiny days !
Loved the scenic shots as you were driving to town, such beautiful mountains. So happy you’re all enjoying retirement it looks good on ya😎Happy 🎄🎄holidays!
When we retired to the home we built, 200 miles away from where we lived for 35 years. We could not find our 28 pound cast iron tree stand. We bought countless plastic totes and labeled them all for all our belongings. Since we downsized so much, we could not find this family treasure until 4 years later! This will be our first Christmas using this tree stand in our new home. The joys of moving and downsizing!🎄😀😀🐾🐾
I also use vintage lamps when the power is out especially. I am from the Adirondack mountains in NY. I also follow my grandparents with using antiques in everyday life. I get+ have gotten lamp parts from the Old Forge Hardware in Old Forge NY. They have the strangest things. All kinds of homemade pack baskets, and things like that. Hope you find your ornaments.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the cabin! Joe & Parker are settling right in & it does my heart good to see Joe get so much time with him. They're like two peas in a pod! We'll see if Parker's little snare setup catches anything. Oh I can't wait to see his face when it does! Still getting used to the fact that this is real. The vacation isn't ending...Alaska life is everything we remembered it to be. Have ya'll started decorating for Christmas yet?
Yes I have started decorating.and it's good to see you all.
Love the videos and the music is perfect, and as I'm from Ireland it is a great choice with the Bailey's hope you enjoy it
I can't stand a shower curtain touching me either, I specifically bought my camper because it had a glass shower door....the salesman thought I was nuts....lmbo
@@melissarobinson3694 just one of those things!!! It really bothers me.🤣
I’m decorating our Christmas tree while watching your video! Perfect timing thanks!
What a gentleman Parker was to open the truck door for his mom!!!
I noticed that as well, brought up with manners!
I noticed that too ❤️❤️❤️
I noticed that as well
Love watching your Family so much wonderful Family Living the good life.
That was super sweet of Parker to open your door, glad to see he is being raised right!!!!
I picked up on that as well. So sweet to still see someone opening a door for a lady.
I totally agree. I also thought how precious it was him asking if his mom was all in the truck!!! So precious
❤
I loved that! I also have taught my son to do that. Although he forgets from time to time. 😂❤
Hi, so nice to see the view there. And your house is so beautiful. Nice christmas tree, real one. God bless, from Philippines !
Omg when I saw Parker opening the truck door for you…. My cup runith over. What a little gentleman. You have raised him right. So very rare now days. Awesome job Parker.! ❤️
Thank you!♥️♥️
Love you, sweet Parker. Take care of Mom.💪🏻❤️
I can’t believe people are so critical. I had a terrible day at work today and a very bad month for sales. Not sure what the Lord is trying to teach me. Anyway, I came home and watched your video and it took me away to a completely different world that exists. I found myself smiling and even giggling. Keep doing what you’re doing because it does bring joy in my life. Thanks for letting me be a small part of your lives. ❤
Parker's such a polite boy opening the door for his mama good job parents 🙏
Just want to say that Parker is one cool kid. He has so much self confidence. That is sooo obvious. Those who comment about concern for his social skills need to watch him closely. He does not have any issues. His parents have instilled this confidence. He is a handsome young man.
Parker says, thank you!🤍🤍
No one is as happy as those dogs to be alive😂 They are living their very best life.
So So proud of you both... I've watched you both and recognised the anguish of PTSD. ..I served my Queen and Country for 25 years in the UK..
I miss the Queen !
Thank you for your service!! 🇬🇧, sorry if I got the flag wrong ❤
Lynn, thsnk you for the service to your Country. I served my USCoadt Guard gor 25 years. We would have a better world if everyone served their Country, even if it was for a couple of years. It btings a new perspective!

I’m always sad when your video is over. I’m glad they last an hr!
Aw thanks Sue!🤍🤍
Sorry about 3 comments but I have to say the education your son is getting it going to be priceless. So many kids don't know how to be out in wilderness and hunt great job to you both!
Girl I'm soooo on your side about the shower curtain thing: I can't bear that either! Decorations look lovely x
Every time y'all drive down the hwy, I'm wondering "Is that Palmer?" - my baby just moved there. What a winter wonderland. Just beautiful!
Nothing like a glass of iced Baileys, light from an oil lamp and a fire in the stove on a winter night. Takes me back a few years. You’re making some good memories!
Thank you for you swift reply, you just made this 81yr old lady very happy, take care I wish you all the best.
Awe that was so sweet when your son opened the door for you and asked if you were in. Raising a gentleman there!
Thank you!♥️♥️
I love watching a little boy outside, enjoying decorating for Christmas and not wasting his time on video games. It is so refreshing.
There are Sooooooo many parts of this video I loved! When your remarkable little man opened the car door for his Momma, when you said "Joe" a hundred times because Karen told you not to, when your doggos got warm jackets, the train around the tree!!! My goodness. I'm so happy I found you guys!!!
Thanks Laura!!!! We’re happy you’re here!♥️
After seeing your video today. I went to Starbucks and I tried a grilled cheese sandwich with a peppermint mocha coffee. The grilled cheese sandwich is delicious. Thank you for recommending the grill cheese sandwich from starbucks.
Love the winter wear for the fur babies. You done good Mom.
Hi guys loved watching the puppies 🐶 with there new jackets n booties 😅too cute it’s wonderful seeing Parker learn how put a snare that’s great doing old school survival 🎉awsome god bless from Angie in San Antonio Tx thanks for the prayers love u guys
The bit at the end was hilarious!😂😂😂. And what little boy and his dad wouldn’t have fun setting up a train! Priceless!
Parker opening and closing the door for momma… 🥹 what a sweet boy.❤

Thank you all for your service and sacrifice to our country. My husband and I watched the retirement video. No matter how many we have seen in person or watch on video it’s always emotional. So proud of all our Coasties. My husband was stationed at MLC back in 2000-2004.
I was at MKC Pacific 2005-2009.
Please Thank your husband for his Service!
Joe is the best handyman Ive ever seen-best attitude.
Really good looking dogs, should do a christmas picture with the whole family in Santa hats.
When I saw Joe taking P out to set up the snares, I watched P’s face and saw the joy that he had being with his Dad and the special moments. It melted my heart. Again, I saw the look on both Dad and him with something else they were doing together. My first thought was how blessed P is having both of you home and spending good quality time with him. I felt in my spirit how so many children do not have this type of quality with their children. God bless each of you in all you do. Will your daughter make it home for Christmas. I love each of you and I get such a kick out of you saying Joe’s name. Lol 😂
Lex probably won’t make it this Christmas, but maybe next! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed to your channel. I love Alaska! That spot of land you have looks amazing! Wishing you and your family the very best!
Welcome to our channel! Thx for subscribing!🤍
@@HomeFreeAlaska Thank you! Your vlogs are so down to earth and casual! much love from Texas!
Parker!, You are quite the man you are. I'm so proud of you opening the door for your Mom. You are a fine young man Parker..God bless you!
Parker, I am impressed at your kindness to your momma by opening the door for her. What a gentleman. Joe, you are a great dad, how neat it was to see you on the polaris having fun with Parker.
I do have a suggestion on giving your unwanted things away. There is a place called Turn A Leaf just up from the Wasilla Post Office on the right. They give back to the community the things that are donated. They use the money to help the community, too. When my late husband needed things like wheelchair, comod, ect, they let us use them for nothing. They resell things very reasonable. If you look on internet goodwill CEO's make a fortune and they have raised prices for those purchasing the donated item. Just a thought.
Thanks Bonney!

Thank you so much 😊
Everything is coming together nicely. I really like what you have done. Looks nice. :)
Even the dogs are enjoying themselves. I miss the enjoyment of playing in the snow.
Very Nice Video! Looks like your settling in great. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Those dogs are well trained! The hutch looks great, as does the tree. I hope your neck is better!
I think even if a person is on the grid. The soft light of an oil lamp would be great. We have a few for our trailer when we camp.
Absolutely! I used my lanterns in VA all the time & we were on the grid!♥️
Oh how I love your family. Always excited when a new video comes out. How is your neck doing. Loved seeing Parker open the door for you. The cabin is beautiful
Hi Carolyn! I actually saw the Dr yesterday finally for my neck. He thinks it’s an injury that needs more time to heal. I first experienced this in July & apparently continue to keep aggravating it…which isn’t allowing it to heal properly. He doesn’t feel it’s major like a bulging disc or anything & wants me to take it easy & monitor it. Thank you for asking, I appreciate that!♥️

It touched my heart when Parker was such a little gentleman to open your door for u.How sweet. He’s all boy though he loves his stuffed animals. Wow can’t believe someone said for u not to say your husbands name. Lol .your tree is pretty.
Brilliant as usual. Love how Joe can keep that straight face, when you say his name lol. and WOW you guys have your own Vralley track.
Nice intro (Beauty in the Mundane).

The tree and house looks so sweet and full of cheer.
Thank you so much for filling my day with joy, hope , laughter and the beauty of your family spreading love 💗 What an exceptionally kind and thoughtful child you have in Parker…he’s adorable.

Great looking tree🎄Parker is a great kid. Going to grow up to be a gentleman because of you both. Thank you for sharing✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️
You are so kind! Thank you.☺️
Drifting in the polaris🤣 Love it, looks like soooo much fun😃
I love that you're teaching your little boy to be a man. So few parents do that nowadays. Major props.👍
I love the white mountains 🏔️. So beautiful 😊
"Joe, Joe , Joe Joe" !!!! LOL love your sense of humor. That was great
Enjoy all your content. Such beautiful scenery and a lovely family. Don't worry about the negative comments, I'm sure there is way more positive, because you and your family are great.
Lol. Glass ornaments up there! I love how you are enjoying and living your life!
That’s a pretty winter wonderland view from your front deck!!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Love the decorating of the deer head thought that was great and even joe decorating himself was a great giggle
Joe is like a kid with a new toy, flying around in the driveway
I found you guys about 10 days ago, I love your channel. I think Parker is going to learn so much about living besides being home schooled. He’s going to grow up with so much knowledge, you both are great parents. I wish you nothing but the best in the coming years and continue what you’re doing.❤️
♥️♥️♥️ Love this comment Pauline! Thank you for your kind words!
I am now in the Christmas spirit after watching your vlog! Thank you for sharing. You are awesome people and Parker is lucky to have parents like you and all these cool experiences that you are showing and teaching him. I loved that this was an hour long. 👍Can’t wait for the next one! Good bless you ❤️
Parker, my heart melt. You keep looking out for your mam. Such a kind lad. So excited for you all. Love from Eire 🇮🇪
Sis you can get new lantern parts at Lehman’s. They have everything for living off grid! They’re online and have a brick and mortar store. You can get pure paraffin oil so you won’t put toxins in your air. ❤
Paraffin is a petroleum distillate. Kerosene is a type of paraffin oil. They all emit things like toluene, benzene, and CO.
So happy for Joe,that made him happy. Put a smile on my face😊❤🎉😅
So beautiful! I bet the tree smelled amazing!! The real tree stock there sure looks a lot nicer than what’s available in the Midwest! Haven’t seen any that nice here. First Christmas in your new cabin will be such a special time. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
Oh my goodness Tina! You're an absolute riot!!! We're sitting here rewinding because we're laughing so hard at you!!! 😂 When you kept saying Joe Joe even more than you usually say Joe 😂 I said I bet somebody told her she says Joe too much( you don't) and so she's running with it!! And like a minute later you said that's exactly what happened! Lol YOU GO GIRL! So glad you don't let them tell you how to play with your husband or raise your baby. And the cross eyed face when you took that drink hilarious 😆. Love the beautiful white Alaskan Christmas 🎄⛄. We can't wait to see Alaska 🏔️ in our travels. God bless 🙏
Hi Andrea!!! Thanks girrrrrl!😘
I always think it is so funny when you say Joe a lot. LOL Especially since he is such a chatterbox. I don't know how you get a word in with him around. :) Your cabin is looking so cozy and wonderful. Happy holidays!
🤣🤣
I'd be playing all day as an adult lol. That plow is awesome! Love seeing your videos!!! Parker seriously looks so natural..like hes been in Alaska forever. Love that Joe is such a hands on Dad....great video as always! Stay warm! Love from Delaware
Hope you all are having a blessed time!! I look forward to your videos and updates! God Bless💛💛💛
You can try,disposable hand warmers both in mitten and boot,we're in lo teens now with little snow as well,and this is earliest we've had to use them. And because your eco friendly you might use mini,mini rice bags, they are warm but only a short time. Just keep warm , and enjoy the bright shiny days !
Loved the scenic shots as you were driving to town, such beautiful mountains. So happy you’re all enjoying retirement it looks good on ya😎Happy 🎄🎄holidays!
When we retired to the home we built, 200 miles away from where we lived for 35 years. We could not find our 28 pound cast iron tree stand. We bought countless plastic totes and labeled them all for all our belongings. Since we downsized so much, we could not find this family treasure until 4 years later! This will be our first Christmas using this tree stand in our new home. The joys of moving and downsizing!🎄😀😀🐾🐾
Truly Gorgeous what a beautiful state! Almost doesn't look real. I want to visit everytime I watch your videos. I am like I have to go to Alaska.
I also use vintage lamps when the power is out especially. I am from the Adirondack mountains in NY. I also follow my grandparents with using antiques in everyday life. I get+ have gotten lamp parts from the Old Forge Hardware in Old Forge NY. They have the strangest things. All kinds of homemade pack baskets, and things like that. Hope you find your ornaments.
LOL My daughters name is Jolene and every time I yell "Hey, JO" , we laugh and think of you.
LOL! That’s funny!🤣
I totally agree about the shower curtains!!!!!!!
I don't know who's having the most fun at your house....lol. Your Christmas decorations are beautiful! ❤️💚🎁🎄
Thanks Teresa!🤍🤍🤍
