I often notice how much he loves her. It’s so obvious. So nice to see. I had a wonderful husband like that and he’s been gone 10 years now. I was 45 at the time. I tell ya, you sure do notice little things. I often sit and eat the salad bar at the grocery store here and you can sit and look out the window and enjoy your lunch. I often notice older folks still holding hands, as they walk in… it’s nice to see.

Amen ma’am I’m 60 years old this month and my parents died in their mid and late 60’s and I think they were young and had a lot more life to live until they got sick but I thank the Lord for allowing me to have them as long as I did . And every year that I get older I thank God for every single day of my life no matter how many years, months or days that he gives me . I hear some people complain about the gray in their hair but I always tell them that I thank God for every one of mine .

What is wrong with eating cucumber sandwiches? They are delicious as are tomato sandwiches. Like Tipper, I, too, am mostly Scottish. Also Irish and English. Eating cucumber sandwiches is not a class thing, but a cultural thing. My family also always stuffed a chicken or turkey with Scottish dressing made with kidney suet, oats and onions.

As a tree worker on break one day, I helped an 86-year-old lady with a scooter and an ankle brace take brown bags of lawn clutter to the curb. Long story short, she said she was doing the work that we were doing that day. She explained to me two weeks previous, that she got on a step ladder and cut her neighbors low hanging branch off for her with a f%£#¥£g chainsaw. 86 years old. Never use a chainsaw to cut the low hanging limbs, as a former tree worker, (never got qualified to be an arborist) that is a super dangerous!!!!!

You both should try southern cucumber sandwiches. Recipe: Slice a ripe but young cucumber, and slice some onion. Place both in a mason jar with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with white, distilled vinegar. Leave overnight in refrigerator. When you’re ready for a sandwich, butter two slices of your favorite whole grain bread. Line with sliced cucumbers and onions from the mason jar. Eat as is or top with any other fresh garden veggie (aka tomatoes, Matt). Every time I eat sliced cucumbers, I think of my mother and her southern cucumber sandwiches. (And we’re all the same “level”) Thank you both for the glimpses of beautiful Appalachia. Blessings.

2 things - Ingles is in Tennessee as well, and my daughter worked there part time during high school and college. Also , I love your advice on gratitude.

The neighborhood where my dad’s side of the family lived was mostly filled with relatives. It was a wonderful way to grow up. Most of relatives are gone now, but the streets are still named after them. There was always something going on. Aunt Mildred let us make homemade pie crust and play dough. Uncle Oscar taught me all the names of the trees, flowers and birds. Aunt Lila made cookies and told stories. Uncle Jerry fixed clocks and Uncle Britt played us music. Grandma babysat us and taught me to sew and do embroidery. There was usually someone to amuse you or cousins to play games with you. Thank you sharing your lives with us. You feel like neighbors just next door.🤣. I wish the world could just slow down and talk like this together. Maybe we would understand each other better and love each other more. God bless.❤️

I was impressed once again with the good-humored give-and-take of your relationship. It's obvious you love and respect one another. I hope younger folks watch your chats and take heed. BTW, I'm going to blame it on Matt that when I went to the store recently determined not to get any junk food, out of habit I looked at the Little Debbie's display. There were those peanut butter cookies he raved about awhile back. I just had to try them, and although good with a glass of milk, they were extremely sweet. Learned later that one cookie was supposed to be three servings, lol! God bless you both for the positive, common sense values you express on your channel. You're such a joy to spend time with.

A friend of mine has twins, a boy and a girl. Only mom and dad know who was born first. They have no plans of ever telling them. The twins are 11 now. It is interesting how people always ask who was born first. The twins promptly answer they don’t know. Their mom and dad decided not to tell them so that neither one holds it over the other and they also hoped it wouldn’t effect any birth order stereotypes. I had never met anyone who took this approach.

It's very common in my family too. We called my mama and daddy Mema and Papa after the grand children were born. My daughter who is now 51 was the first grandchild in 1971. After that it was always Mema and Papa. We loved them so much.

It’s so obvious how much y’all love each other. Best friends. My wife and I have the same easy relationship that y’all have. Tipper, you are right about the age comments. I think our souls and spirits are ageless. In my Mind I’m still in my twenties, but my body will be 68 in a few days. I wish y’all the best in whats ahead for this country. God bless.

I would much rather sit and watch you and Matt work in your garden or just sit and talk about your life than watch any of the garbage they put on tv these days. I am thankful I found your channel. Blessings to you and your wonderful family.

MmvFirst of all, you two are NOT boring..You are salt of the earth, backbone of this country, plain good people..Just the kind I like..Secondly, I agree with Matt, I am "39" too, minus the half😂, just 39 forever..Some time back, I adopted the old comedian Jack Benny's stance, of being "39", when anyone asked his age..He allegedly did that until he died at age 87😂.. I so enjoyed this Q&A, can't wait for part 2!!!❤❤❤

My mom is from Union County, NC. She was an Austin, her mom was a Trull. My grandpa once told me we were distantly related to Ronnie Millsap. I love hearing family stories….I wish I had asked my grandparents more questions about their lives. Love your videos! Y’all remind me a lot of my relatives!
