I'll say it again - the EDITING is wonderful, must've taken many many hours. Love this!
Thank you!!
I agree! My thoughts as well. What a soothing compilation.
The beautiful tune 5:57 brought much peace to my burdened soul this morning 🙏💛💛💛
Just checked my calendar....February 8th is our forsythia and February 17th I have down for the first daffie bouquet. So happy to realize Winter will pass and Spring isn't that far off:)
It's beautiful cake 🎂 it's blessing to live 83year old i song along with yall wishing granny happy birthday and granny is blessed she looks good it seems like granny is in good spirits God bless yall 😋
Cories pitch / key on “time to wonder” is so much nicer than when it’s higher - this sounds so much more in her natural vocal range and is on point. So nice, so harmonic.
Edit to add that I love Katies voice in this one, so warm / colourful / rich
thanks for watching 😊
I agree
That was a wonderful version of that song.
The Dillard's and Andy would be proud!
@@rita1259-y5c Thought of the Darlings and Andy too. First time I ever heard that song. So pretty. Still get that show on MeTV channel.
That was a really nice recap of 2023. You showed a bit of everything and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks so much!
Oh my all the talent that is in your family. You are truly blessed by our Heavenly Father.
I just love hearing your family sing. I grew up singing in church with my dad and on my own. It reminds me of the church music that I grew up with. I enjoyed singing Away in the Manger with Cory and Katie.
Loving this and those twins can sure sing and play. Enjoyed seeing you play too Tipper and Paul. The food yummy and the place just beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Love it when how you all can change parts. Such a sweet sound.
Love hearing your girls sing, so pretty. It's been a pleasure to watch you and your family this year, good times and sad times. Thank you for sharing and praying for us.
Thanks so much 😊
Y’all’s homestead is like heaven on earth @ 32:48. So beautiful with the trees in the changing season. Growing your own vegetables is so satisfying. God bless your beautiful family. Happy Birthday Granny and Matt.
Thanks so much 😊
Ms. Cindy's gift was a great generation gift.
It was nice to see Miss Cindy in the video of Granny's Birthday celebration!
I loved Granny's expression after everyone sang to her. Such a sweet lady. My Granny has been gone 37 yrs and I still miss her. I caught Miss Cindy in the clip as well ... a beautiful lady.
Mine has been gone about 35 years and I miss her so much. @@grantleon6736
Another observation I made about your family… Even though Matt is the ultimate manly man, he has no problem going in the kitchen and cooking, and washing dishes. I just love that.
I so enjoyed looking back on 2023 with y'all. Thank you all so much for the joy you bring into my life. I love you all! I'm looking forward to 2024 with the Pressley family!
I cannot imagine the long and thoughtful hours it took to create this wonderful compilation. Thank you. I want to come sit in your garden, enjoy supper at your table and sit quietly in the peace of your beautiful mountains. You are a treasure! Much love to you and yours.
Oh, how beautiful. I've so enjoyed taking time out of my day/week to watch your videos this past year. I've said it in other comments, but I've been trying to save so I can stop renting and just get a cheap house somewhere else, and your gardening videos and slow pace of life are really inspirational in that quest-the simple life! How bittersweet to see Miss Cindy in the background on Granny's birthday, makes me think of what a year you've all had, and thank you for sharing what you did.
Just love the area! Anytime I can get a glimpse of the area it just reminds me of how much I want to live there! Hopefully this will be the year we make the move! Love the mountains and the people!
Thank you 😊
I’m so glad I discovered Corie’s & Katie’s channel and they introduced me to yours, Tipper! You all have greatly enriched my life! ❤
Thank you!
I absolutely love Corie and Katie's singing. It's so beautiful and they way all of you play together is just a pure blessing to me
Thankyou. God bless you all. 🙏💙💖
Country ham & red eye gravy 🤤. Oh my ❤
😊 Matt just loves it
@@CelebratingAppalachia I do too but I have to rinse the meat a little now due to my high blood pressure.
We call those double daffodils scrambled eggs my neighbor said they are hen and chicks 😆,Granny is so sweet , Happy Birthday 🎂 🙏❤Granny🎉🎉
Love that 😊 Thank you!
Loved the way this video was put together…and so much to see and enjoy!! 🤩
Thank you!!
I love this video! When I watched and saw just some of the things y’all did over 2023 I realized just how hard y’all worked over the past year. I loved the singing. Katie and Corie harmonize beautifully. Y’all all play your instruments together beautifully also. At the end of this year y’all are gonna have 2 little rascals in your video. What a wonderful thing to look forward to. So excited for y’all. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
Thank you!!
I'm on the West Central Coast-- near Sarasota. Good to see ya in the comment section, neighbor! 😊
So much talent under one roof! What a blessing!
A great look back. You all have had a hard year, but also a blessed year. We continue to pray for you all and Granny. Praying this year will be a wonderful year for you all with lots of laughter and the sounds of the pitter patter of little feet and many blessings and successes through the year. May God bless you all. Have a blessed night
Your singing is amazing. I had not heard that before, now I want to hear more. You are such a talented, amazing family. I love the way you all put God first too.
Thank you so much!!
Love seeing the past year. So much has happened (just like every year), and it was nice to hear the music.
Well, I'm commenting again, because I've watched it again! I've made EVERYONE watch it with me...at my house, on the phone on FaceTime...and I sit right there and watch it with them! I just have to participate in their viewing! Everyone has ooo'd and awe'd over how beautiful it all is! The scenery is OBVIOUSLY gorgeous, because it IS the most beautiful part of our country, but the editing...wow! It was absolutely wonderful!! How does one describe how amazing a bowl of beans can look?! Impossible! You have to see it for yourself! And your rows of beans? Glorious!!
Well, I"m going to try not to talk about it anymore! ha!
Thank you all so much for sharing what I hope Heaven looks like when I get there!
Best,
~Kelly~ (Colorado)
You are so kind! Thank you so much 😊
I've enjoyed this so much
I forget how much I love to hear the girls sing and Katie play her fiddle. Be well and happy folks. Love you all. R.
Ugh! I gotta quit watching your videos in the late evening….cause your meals look absolutely delicious! I need to avoid eating so late! Thank you for letting us walk with you in your life. We truly enjoy it. Prayers and love for all of you. ❤️
At 36:01 means so much to me and personal walk with my savior. Alleluia ❤
Wow someone has became a filmmaker. This video is so professional but homey just love it. Happy New Year Tipper and Family. May the LORD bless you all. Happy New Year everyone.
At 13:00 in, WHAAAAAAT? Where have you been hiding this talent? Not that I'm surprised, but I've been watching your videos casually for garden content for two years, and this is the first time I've heard you play and sing as a family, and I am just knocked out. Flat down boggled. Thank You so Much.
Thank you 😊
Good evening everyone 😊 hope y’all had a blessed day ❤
Thank you! We hope you did too 😊
I remember seeing most of these videos and now I want to go back and rewatch them all. Thank you for sharing so much of your sweet lives with us. I missed the dried beef and gravy video. We use to eat this.
Thank you!!
Hello. The Yellow Bells are beautiful, always have been. There was a large bush of them right outside my bedroom window when I was very young, in Connecticut. I have never forgotten them, and I am in my late 70's. Lilac trees also. Beautiful...
Love that! Thank you 😊
Happy Birthday dear Granny @ 83 🎂🍰
👋❤️👋Some of my favorite people ever. Y’all make my day and it’s a joy to be with you all. 👋❤️👋Jennifer
Thats cute...Granmy buying the numbers for her cake. Im with Granny..i love cake and enjoy celebrating birthdays,
Happy Birthday Granny! 🎂🎈🎉🤗
Cornbread and Blackeye peas Yum 😋
My favorite was the sweet music and precious singing!!
Does Paul have a channel ? I really like his playing and voice., it would be nice to hear him alone.. 😁
Linda from Ct
😊 You can hear a lot of Paul here: www.youtube.com/@BlindPigAndTheAcorn
👍👍 Excellent ! Like an Annual Edition Magazine of Celebrating Appalachia👏👏👏👏💛 Confession; I tapped Cancel when I completed my first enthusiastic, detailed account about this special video.
I live in western kentucky and my meals are so much like youalls i love watching your videos
I love that song “There is a time…”, every since I first heard it on the Andy Griffith show. You all sound beautiful!
Oh my the beans and cabbage looks so good…when I cook a big pot of anything, we eat out of it and freeze the rest in 2 cup servings. So good the second tine .
Well Tipper, you’ve gone & done it. I always say ohhhh I love winter, however as I sit here & it’s 30 outside waiting for it to maybe snow, I’m looking at all the wonderful things of spring & summer. Kinda makes me melancholy for those seasons. All the beautiful flowers, your amazing beans and other garden treats just makes me realize how much I actually love each season individually. You know how blessed we are to live in these mountains & how gorgeous it is in the spring & summer, but then fall & all its rich & vivid colors followed by the bareness of winter when we really get to see all the contours of the mountains. Thank you again for a beautiful video. I’m
I’m grateful to have found you & look forward to another year of exciting things with you & your sweet family. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 😊
This was a fantastic edit of last year's doings on the Goat Bluff, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I noticed that Granny turned 83 last year, which makes our mothers the same age. 1940 was a good year for mothers, haha! Y'all stay warm, and God bless!
Love love this video ❤, the songs brought me to tears. May God bless you all richly in 2024 with health, happiness, contentment, success, and abundance of time with your loved ones.
Beautiful scenery.. I miss living in Tennessee.. and hiking, mountains and the little brooks of water.. I like smoke picnic ham but don't care for cure ham. And I also like sunny side eggs lol.. seems y'all had a wonderful 😊 2023.. which I watch bout every video.. thanks for sharin and have a blessed Thursday night..
Thank you Lisa 😊
We hope y'all have a good 2024 me and my wife enjoy watching y'alls video's my wife is still fighting cancer and i pray she's winning God bless y'all.
I will pray for her healing! Thank you!!
I enjoyed the recalling of the year. I was right here with you the whole year. Enjoyed seeing all singing and playing.
😊 Thank you!
Could y’all please make a whole video of playing and singing? Love Katie’s singing.❤️
😊 So glad you enjoy it! You can find more of our music on our other channels: ruclips.net/channel/UC-qASEdDmIEW_q02Og1nStw and here: ruclips.net/channel/UC0o2n1IkGL93VmbTtVrtbsg
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, GOOD OLE COUNTRY COOKING, FAMILY....❤
This is a great compilation, I really enjoy your channel. You have a lovely family. Thank you to everyone who collaborated on this. The first song brought tears to my eyes, it was hauntingly beautiful. Each song was a nice addition to the video. Its wonderful you are putting worship on display for people, who many likely were not raised going to church. The songs of Gods love are great tools for evangalism, most folks dont know His lovingkindess in the way to rest in His peace, songs bring it close so it is felt. By his spirit we are lead. Praise God. Bravo family! Also your gardens and food are inspirational. The livin part of life is on display :)
Thank you so much 😊
Wonderful review of the year. I especially enjoyed the music! The second song included Olive resting by the kitchen door. That was cute! Happy New Year!
It’s been a good year. Troubles, yes, but still a good year. God is great. TeresaSue
48 minutes and 58 seconds of pure warmth, comfort and love… I was right at home . God bless.
Thank you 😊
Bravo, bravo!👏🏼 Just wonderful! The life vlogs are always favorites of mine. What a blessing to be able to reflect on a year of plenty and a full life.🙌🏼 God bless in 2024!💖
Thank you so much!
Oh the memories would love to be there shelling beans sitting on the porch and listening to the music
Absolutely wonderful ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Red eye gravy! Memories of my daddy, he loved that stuff. Rarely had it at home so it was always a treat for him to stop in a restaurant in Jasper AL when we were traveling. Yearly trips in the 80’s, between Florida and Arkansas always meant 2 stops Uncle Mort’s restaurant.
Great video. ~Jennifer
My Mom would make us go get a Yellow Bell switch and she would swat me with it if I was bad. Always seemed to be when I was wearing shorts. 😂
Oh how pretty this back yard is.
Tipper- the guitar playing with the family music team really adds another dimension to who you are, outside of cooking, baking, gardening and selling trucks out from under errant boyfriends. ❤😂😮😊
Your family is so very precious. You are all such a blessing to us all! God Bless.
Thank you so much!
I loved looking back at 2023 with the Pressley family. I really enjoy yours and Katie and Corie's channels. They comfort and bless me so.
My goodness…Katie’s voice is beautiful!
Wow, what a year!
This really touched my heart🎻🎸 🎂🤗 reminds me of my childhood long past
Miss Tipper, you are amazing on the acoustic bass guitar.
Wow, thank you!
I wish I could have been part of your video. It made me hungry for the food, and the love and fun, but I would dig in and help you put up food and weed. Then I would make us all one of the old-time cloth hats, or bonnets granny wore when she went outside, I still remember how to make them. My nephew wanted to make a book and put all the things I remember, but I'm not that smart. God bless you all.
My kind of eating.
Happy 83rd Birthday Miss Granny!! I love birthday cake too!! 🎉
I must have long lost ancestors from Appalachia because I could eat up every one of those dishes! Does anyone eat a biscuit or slice of cornbread in hand? They always look crumbled or covered in gravy on a plate. I could do both! Love the music. What a gift to be able to play as a family! Loved this look back too. You put a lot of work into compiling the bloopers and this one for us to enjoy. Thank you so much. I don’t get tired of your hills and creek.
We do eat them like that too 😊 Thank you so much! So glad you enjoy our videos 😊
Oh Tipper, watching your video and drinking my coffee, what a way to start the morning!
Lovely, wonderful video. I really loved it. Lives well lived just as our Creator has blessed you.
I love your beautiful yard and gardens, also watching your harvest and garden work
Thank you for sharing your life with us! Looks like lots of work, love, joy and a beautiful family. God bless you all.
I have always liked that song There Is a Time for Us to Wander ever since I was little and I heard it on Andy Griffith Show with the Darlings (or in real life -the Dillards and Maggie Peterson) singing it
Just watched this with a great big smile on my face, thank you Tipper and family
22:41------That was a pretty picture. The rain on your beautiful garden 🎉🎉
Matt has incredible skills.😊😮😊
I was hooked at Matt’s beans and cornbread…I’m going to put a bag of 15 bean soup in the instant pot tomorrow 😋😋😋 and skillet of corn bread in the oven
Sounds great!
I have noticed many stories about Miss Cindy are about her being thoughtful and giving wonderful gifts.🩷
Well, I just watched the whole video...WOW! That was absolutely beautiful!!
~Kelly~ (Colorado)
Flowers are so beautiful.
What a beautiful slice of Heaven ❤ y'all have worked SO HARD and it shows ❤
I could listen to Katy play fiddle all day! Beautiful!
'2023 some good and sad times .... Love the singing .... The gardening ....and Christmas 🎀
God Bless You All in '2024 ..... Looking so forward to seeing the babies 👣💙👣💙
I really enjoyed this compilation , I’m sure it took some time to get all these precious moments together and I so appreciate all your efforts. Thank you for a wonderful year of sharing and Celebrating Appalachia with us🥰
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
My wife and I truly love you all as family. It's a shame we'll never meet you. But we love visiting you'all on RUclips. We never miss watching. You bless our souls. Love you'all in the LORD
