I agree, Tessie. I have always thought that if you are not being you, whose life are you living? I am now 70 and enjoying life just as I am! Always be you! You are loved just the way you are.
Tessie, I love seeing you having fun with your gifts you got a lot of cool things it's good to have fun in these days you look great in that bonnet you have great friends here :-) Love you my sister :-) God Bless You and Ken :-)
Hello my sweet brother I do have a video of the gift that you gave me but it took me a little bit longer because I actually used the jars the same day so you will be seeing that coming up soon but I really want to thank you so much for the jars then you'll see me opening it because I use the jars in a canning project
I enjoyed the educational information you shared with us about "coverings and bonnets"...very interesting to me. You're so appreciative about those gifts you received, and I love that. It's a dark cold rainy day where I am, so your cheerfulness is welcoming. You absolutely did help to brighten my day, Tessie🌞. And I will be certain to listen to your radio channel too.
Oh Tessie, your little giggle and excitement just made my heart full! I could so see your grandmother as you shared that story. God Bless you Sister. ❤
I always love watching you open gifts that people have given to you. I agree with you, I love being in my 50s. Life is what we make it and I always love that you make it fun and you are yourself in all circumstances. You’re a blessing to watch.❤
I love old-time radio and have heard you mention that you have been doing videos for 6 yrs. I have looked and can't find them. I really want to hear them. I love your content and look forward to seeing you every day. 6 years on your radio show would make my new year amazing.
You are so right, Tessie! It took me until my 50s to say, "This is me, this is what I love, this is what makes me happy" without worrying what others might think. Now, I'm enjoying life more fully. Those were really thoughtful gifts. Thanks for starting my day with a smile. 😊
I love this Tessie! You said it right! It's alright to do you especially at this point in life! What an awesome video!! God bless you Tessie and all of our friends here!😊❤
Hi Tessie, I love your bonnets, i just learned about the Sunday coverings on the Amish doc.I have a few from early American times. Which one is most likely worn from a Pilgrim child.How fun and a nice care package. God bless you and yours 🕊 💚
What wonderful and fun video!!! Your joy shines through Tessie. I love the bonnets, they're beautiful. Your other gifts are very nice also. Now I know why I relate to you so well. I'm a little bit different too. (ok maybe more than a little bit!) Hope you had a lovely Christmas. ❤❤❤😊😊 Tina
I'm in the same season of life as you, I am 59 with little grandbabies and my reality is changing. We had a very devastating year with loss and 3 devastating hurricanes. We lost A LOT. Our home was flooded with 2 of the hurricanes and I am trying to save my car after the flooding. We have a lot of debt now and FEMA ran out of money. It's time that I work my way back to my deep faith and I'm on a new path I've felt called to for a long time. I'll make this short. I lost my clothing in the floods, along with my heirlooms and pictures from the past. I am compelled to be as my family was, Train a Child Up In the Way They Should Go and When They are Old, They Will NOt Depart From It. I'm disabled and cannot work but now of the life you have lived. I am headed back to it. Thanks for these fun videos, I am also looking to make my head coverings. It's time for me, too.
Tessie the gifts are beautiful especially the bonnets you made my morning I was laughing along with you the bonnets look nice on you have a great day ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yall pray go this head cold to leave me 😂😂😂. Didn’t get outa bed at all yesterday so now I get to watch yesterday’s video right after this. So grateful for Christmas leftovers. ❤❤❤
Yes, the bonnets are adorable. And yes Tessie, love the eccentric qualities! And why not?! Thank you for your little speech! ❤ Very nice of you, Joyce, to take such good care of Tessie. Good to see you Tessie.
I love the bonnets. My grandma wore bonnets too she would take fabric from old dresses and makes bonnets and any extra fabric was used for hand quilting.
After a dark rainy day in my neck of the woods your enthusiasm is a ray of ☀️. I enjoyed your explanation of the bonnets. I learn a lot from you dear one🤗💖
Hi again Tessie getting such a kick seeing all the gifts today. I really like the yellow bonnet it's like Little House On The Prairie style. The black bonnets are nice but I don't favor the color black only have a pair of black shoes. Like color more. I watched a video the other day all about and this was the title of the video How The Amish Spend Christmas it's a long one but very interesting to learn about. You have some really nice thoughtful friends here on line. Did you ever think when you started how connected you would become with so many people from so many places in the world! Fun adventure. You didn!t have to travel far either.
My family wore black almost all the time. Women could also have brown dresses. When the ladies grew up, they favored black clothing, but wore modern clothes. I also love colors, life is too short!!
I am 34 and have embraced this mentality of letting my "weird" passions shine for many years now. My husband who is 42 is by far more conscious of what others think of him, but I constantly encourage him to embrace his joy and excitement with his passions! It's starting to shine through more with him too through the years and I love it so much!
I love 💕 the bonnets i used have one too and bought my daughter one when she was young ,some came from pa.dutch country .we have sucha great time when we visit there ❤
Blessings Tessie...glad to be back, I've been in the hospital. Praise the Lord, am greatly improved. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 God haa been faithful, with me. 🥳🤗 Hugs, Love and prayers. 💖🎁💖✝️😊
We are all unique and should always be ourselves and find the joy around us. Life is too short to not have fun. 😃 Love the bonnets and the history of it. Have a blessed evening everyone. 🕯🌟 P.S. I've started working in my Art journal again and I'm loving it! I love to see you journal too. 🖌🖋✂️😊
You are not odd or eccentric to me, and yes, have fun! Love all those hats and enjoyed the explanation of how each is worn. Your dress is lovely, I like prairie style dresses too. Blessings in 2025!
So interesting hear the last name Brubaker. My stepdad's family name. His grandparents were an Amish man that married a Catholic girl, they were shunned. Had a huge family and stepgrandpa had 8 kids. Lots of Brubaker relatives growing up.
You are always so thankful I love that about you I bet your real mama was just like you even though God wanted her to be with him I feel she was just like you ❤❤❤
I still have a head covering my mom used to make, and she would wear them, when she was working outside. I have thought about maybe making some similar to it, but not sure if I could actually wear them. I sometimes just wear a baseball cap, if I am out weedeating. You got some nice gifts.

Hi Tessie. I love the bonnets. Especially the yellow one ❤
Good evening sweet friend 🎄
I use the hot mitts and pads for decorating only.
My husband's great-grandmother was a Brubaker (maiden name) and Amish from Indiana. I have two bonnets that belonged to my great-grandmother
I'm an odd ball too. I love the yellow bonnet
This video made me smile 😊
