    I'm still trying to process all this. I know you've heard of Six Degrees of Separation. I to was saying prayers and grieving the loss of Jan Martin Mullins last week. Jan and I were both members of the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support group on FB. My heart breaks for you, her family and especially little Conner. 😢💔. I lived and worked in Kingsport TN. I still live just a few minutes away, still raising my granddaughter alone. It was our biggest fears that we would pass before our grandchildren were grown. My heart breaks for everyone. Our group will continue to keep Conner and family in thoughts and prayers and if we can help in any way please let me know.
    From the first time I watched one of your videos I felt a connection. I did not know exactly what but just that there was a connection in some way. With time I came to recognize other names in your videos that made that connection feel even more real. The last names Buchanan and Mullins are very common here. In fact I am of Mullins descent. It is truly a small world and God holds us all in his hands. Love and hugs to all. Jan will be so missed. And we will remain in prayer for little Conner. These children are out world. ❤🤗

      I am so grateful for your words tonight,,,so many tears...how wonderful for you to connect with me and let me know you knew Jan,,,, and Connor, the pain is so deep. I am so happy to meet you...lots of tears. Jan would never want us to cry...she would want us to be strong and get to work at something important,,....,,my love to you and yours, please reach out any time so we can stay in touch? Much love always, Susan

      Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss. I, too, am of Mullins descent (grandmother) and was raised in Dickenson Co., VA., about an hour from Kingsport. My husband and I also raised my granddaughter, who is now 22. May God bless and comfort 💕

    RE: your Weller Pottery basket/bowl, your friend is so right: you were meant to bring it to your home. So many simply view these as "things" to occupy a space; but you see how these items bring beauty and joy into your home. I also love the fact that you embrace color; and lots of it! 🌺

    Aging is inevitable, being old is a choice❣️ I found your video just in time since my BFF is coming to spend my 80th birthday with me and we can’t wait to go ‘thrifting’ again like we did years ago! It’s winter now but we will walk down memory lane with a summer vibe and the joy of being together! You have such a beautiful spirit - thank you for sharing your thrift store finds and your lovely home! 🥰🐅

    Sue...I so enjoy your videos. You are so inspiring to me. I know what it is to lose someone you love...I lost my husband many years ago..we were newlyweds and his passing was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. He was a Police Officer and he was killed in the line of duty. The pain of losing him never diminishes, you just try to live you life as best as you can. ...I so look forward to listening to your positive views about life and about making the best of our lives...know that you are so admired.

    I'll never understand why some people come to a UA-cam channel knowing the content and then get offended by something in it and just dump all over the light it brings. There's enough negativity in the world as it is. Leave your grumpiness at home, please. We like the beauty this channel brings.

    My mother who is long gone now once said to me, “ Marilyn, you think I color my hair because I’m vain don’t you?” I said, no mom I do not think that at all. She said, I color my hair, because when I look in the mirror, I don’t want to see an old lady. If I see an old lady looking back at me, I’m a start acting like an old lady and I definitely don’t want that. Now that I’m older, I completely understand what she was saying. She was always so young at heart.

    I'm your age, born in 55'. Back in my 40's I was talking w/my mom on the phone, as we often did. I remember the conversation so well, remember I was cleaning my linen closet when she called. We shared our day w/each other. Somehow we got on the topic of getting older. I told her I'm reminded of my age when I walk past the mirror. But inside, I'm really just the girl I used to be-- w/the same feelings I had as a girl. My mom listened, paused before speaking, then said, "I know, Karen, I feel that way too." Then I understood, most feel that way. I treasure the girl I once was, but the reality is, she is still here, inside of me. I get much comfort knowing that. Thank you for sharing. I do my best to share with my three grown children, pieces of me w/them. Love them so. ❤❤❤

      Today was a down day for me at age 80yrs , not feeling great ,
      Was a bit in the dumps. I am an avid reader yet Not anything I
      Thought to do seemed to work. I really wanted to go out and
      Visit a lovely garden Center, yet I just lay in bed feeling I was
      Getting to the end of my time in life . I am a cancer survivor
      And it scared me to think of what is affecting my low energy
      Gradually I recovered by looking at my home and feeling grateful
      Grateful I own a car , a little Honda Fit Bright Yellow and I name *Buttercup.
      Also I remembered it was Saturday and I was perked up thinking of
      Susan’s weekly vlog with wee Desi.
      Now is my bedtime, I hope to go to Church tomorrow and meet my best friend
      That we only get to see each other occasionally because she is a younger Grandmother,
      Life continues . We must make the best of it .
      Susan you are so very gifted and your wonderful kind heart lifts me up when I am down.
      Blessings to you , your home is spectacular ✍️

It has flourished into an amazing beauty. By honoring her, it keeps her close. Something to ponder in your back yard.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you for lovely Saturday evenings.

    First I want to say that this summer, as a caregiver in a complicated situation.. I have enjoyed my gardening and I have enjoyed finding myself again and taking care of myself. Being a caregiver to someone on Hospice certainly reground’s you and makes you recognize that WE, ourselves are most important and only WE can ensure that we live long enough to live our fullest.
    Now, I want to say that I totally get the “Good at being young.”
    My son has a quote he always says that is just so simple yet eternal.. “Live Life.” Whether it be good or bad. Live it. Do not let Life live you just because we age. We do not loose our dreams, our hopes, our joys and our passions. We control all of those things and how deep we bury them as we age.. forgetting them. We would never forget a dear loved one so why would we forget ourselves? Why would we allow ourselves to be packed away and forgotten? So, Yes, I totally “Get” what Max meant and how you feel.
    I am sorry for your loss. But OH the memories you have!! Cherish those and the Blessing to have had someone so special in your life. I know you do and will!
    I always watch your videos when I feel I need for a calmness in my day or centered in my life.
    Thank you for your bright smile, your optimism in a world where that has become a rarity. So my word for you today is this… continue to “Live Life!” as you do!!

    I am 74 years old and live by myself in Kennesaw, GA. My son and 2 grandsons live in MI and my daughter lives in Summerlin outside of Las Vegas.
    Because I’m pretty much on my own sometimes it’s a little challenging!
    But every week I feel like I am tuning in to listen to a friend.
    I live in a nice apartment for seniors, but I’m not allowed to feed the homeless cats and I’m not allowed to feed the birds on my balcony.
    You give me hope that I too one day soon I can have my own beautiful little home with my own dog.
    Thank you so much for being you, have a wonderful week

Another favourite is to go to the coast which is only an hour away from my home & sit on the beach & just listen to the ebb & flow of the sea with my eyes closed - restorative to the soul. Love seeing you & Desi & your wise words & fun ideas gladden my heart. ❤

Life still provides glorious moments and triumps. Your flare for decorating is marvelous! I lean toward eclectic and you have carried that off so well. It brings such interest to a room as it takes on the character of the home owner. So I say, " Put your 💖 heart and 🌺 stamp on life! " ~ Diane

    Hello from Sweden! 🇸🇪🇸🇪
    You asked us about favorite Summer Doings...
    I have plenty, but one thing I really love to do, beeing good at beeing young, is to lay down in the hammock "hiding from the world" under the cherry tree and fanasize about many things....or lay in the grass watching the clouds drift by and think about what they look like An angel? A Horse? etc etc....
    Another (secret) favorite of mine is to jump in puddles of water after a Warm and Silent Summer Rain... I love that and that keeps my heart young even if I am soon to be 59!!!!
    Have a really good Sunday everyone!

    I love thrift and resale shops, but in the past few years, I downsized and decluttered into a one room studio. I have embraced my minimalist lifestyle. When I consider buying anything now, I ask myself: Do I need it, where will I put it, will I really, really use it/wear it?

And yes, to be silly sometimes and have a ball! I am living my best life! I'm 73 and I feel like I've just begun to live. I love your channel and look forward to seeing you and Desi every week!

    I’m good at leaps of faith. I sought passions in my youth, sometimes it worked out, sometimes not what I had expectations of, and hard. I took a jump off that cliff 8 years ago, and boy did I land hard. Very very hard. But you know what? I didn’t let that stop me, from taking another risk, a leap of faith, a jump off a cliff, and I just landed in a place of all my dreams, a place that is perfect for me.
    I’m pushing 70, MS, and people thought the risk was too great at my age. But those were the people, that put thier heads down when they walk, never seeing the sky. I looked up, and jumped into the wild unknown. I’m good at being young. 🙏💜

    I love pottery too! I cannot believe the steal you got on the beautiful Weller piece, yes it was meant for you to find. Susan, I have thrifted since my 20’s and I would pick up little wooden homemade stools or chairs. As my grandkids came along they would sit in them and when two of them got older and had homes of their own they asked if they could have them. I was so happy to oblige. Now I have a great grandson by one of them and she sends me pictures of him sitting in a lovely little red homemade chair with a high back that has a heart carved in it. So that piece I bought many years ago for my 25 yr old granddaughter to sit in I am now watching my little great grandson sit in it! My heart swells with the love and memories of that little red chair. Everything is so beautiful and welcoming in your home, absolutely lovely! ❤

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and sister in law Jan.I guess I didn't catch in last weeks video that she had passed. It's hard when we loose loved ones, and it seems like the older we get the more loved ones we loose. And wish if there was just one day we could spend with them again. This is why I cherish every moment that my children and grandchildren come to visit me. You never know if that's the last time. I love your quote " I'm only good at being young". I will be turning 71 in the fall and I don't feel that much older, ( maybe in my bones, but not my attitude). I still enjoy life, working out in my yard, thrifting, reading and spending time with loved ones. I know people younger than me that are already planning their funerals. Not me, I want to live my life to the fullest. thank you for your wonderful and heartfelt video's. I look forward to them every weekend.

After watching this, a realization came to me. I’ll keep only the things that I made a conscious decision to choose. And I’ll let go of the things that I merely “ended up with”.

It was heart breaking and I have a lot of fun, funny fond memories of the times we had that no one can take away from me. I cherish each and every moment we shared for 36 years. I have a big smile on my face when I think of the fun we had together. Life moves fast. Enjoy every moment of every day!!
