i laughed so hard when Matt said, "That concludes this episode of Hoarders." So cute.
Me too! 😅
Matt is such a pip! I know one thing and that's this: I'll bet there's never a dull moment with him around. I mean that in the nicest way.
That made me smile, too!
😂
🤣🤣
I think you could make these videos 2 hours long and I’d still sit here enthralled the whole time. It’s so good for my awful anxiety. Matt made me laugh out loud with his comment.
I'm so glad you enjoy them 😀
The only thing for me is, I can't get any work done myself ☺️
The trees in the background with their leaves changed to brilliant fall colors are absolutely beautiful! I love how you and Matt work on home projects together to get them accomplished. Y’all are a perfect example of how couples in a marriage are suppose to work together as a team. I hope young people see y’all and choose their life partner wisely. It will be interesting to see if y’all actually do go out in the snow to take a popsicles break. 🥶🥶
That would tickle me to no end, to see you and Matt do popsicle talk sitting in the middle of a snow fall!!☃️⛄️💛🍁💛
😀
The trees are beautiful, your porch is lovely, and your popsicle talks are such a joy.
I love when you and Matt have a break and talk, it make me feel like i am family right there with you,listening to your stories.love your channel.
The porch looks so homey and inviting, I could sit there for hours reading and listening to the birds
I loved watching you decide what to keep. I’m 80 with a serious diagnosis, and trying to do my “Swedish Death Cleaning” that I read about.😊 it’s so hard to make a decision, as I’m very sentimental. I enjoy your videos from here in the piney woods of East Texas. I was a farm girl, and can relate to so much you show.
Miss Sara, I’m in the Beaumont area💕
@@txtopaz7997 I ma native of Longview, but moved here when I had to retire. I have nieces in the Beaumont area. Thanks for letting me know!😊
Miss Sara, I hope you are doing well. Please let us know. I’ll pray for you.❤🙏🏻
Matt is so funny. I know I will always crack up at something he says. What a blessing you both are.
I just love how you two always have a popsicle together. So cute.
😊 thank you
Thank you Tipper for sharing your evening with us. The trees are so pretty behind you and Matt.
Thank you for visiting Robin 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia You tell Matt that batteries store .... wait for it ........ electricity! It's an electric saw. It's also a battery-powered saw. He may have meant that it's not a plug-in saw ... but both plug-in and battery powered saws run off electricity. So you were right all alongy.
@@noname-zg8lh 😀
@@noname-zg8lh good one!
@@CelebratingAppalachia I agree with Robin, Tipper, the trees behind y'all are some kinda pretty in their splendid fall colored garments; their cloak of many colors, so to speak. I found myself getting distracted by their gorgeous colors and I have to agree with you and Matt that they're going to peak early color-wise this year.
My [now late] mama used to eat squirrels when she was growing up during the Great Depression [she was born in 1930]. She said that they were good eatin'. I've never eaten a squirrel, but my son Andrew killed his first one down in the low-country near Beaufort, SC, a while back and he said it didn't taste that great. I guess it's because it was a swamp living squirrel and it ate stuff that made it taste not so great. Hopefully when he moves to the mountains of Appalachia he'll get some that taste better.
I have to say that you and Matt have both found a True, Fine Love [as the Steve Miller song title goes] in each other. Take care and enjoy the cooler weather. Hugs and good wishes to everyone from New Bern, NC.
That slice of tree trunk looked heart-shaped. . .maybe that's why you originally wanted to keep it. Your house looks nice with the fresh coat of stain on it.
I haven't heard about wolves for a coons age. I can remember my Granddad telling me about them and waiting until frost to hunt squirrels when I was a boy. Matt is going to get his deer soon. Enjoyed watching y'all.
I so appreciate your videos that show the way life ought to be lived. Slow living, loving your family and God, taking care of the land, and using what you have. God bless you and thank you for sharing yourself. You are doing more than you know for those of us who are new to the life.
I’m watching you two go through all the “treasures”, and I think to myself... been there, done that.
Hard to just get rid of the kids, and grandkids stuff.
It is hard! Thank you 😀
Hurricane Harvey downsized for me
Dear Tipper, I always enjoy your videos. I will definitely be willing to sit here in Illinois and watch you and Matt eat popsicles in the snow and laugh !!! Can't wait for it, haha 😂.
My life has shown me that true friends are not separated by time or space. Those DeWalt products are good ones. Congratulations Matt.
Thank you Sam 😀
You don't realize how much stuff you have until you start sorting through it. This past summer we had cicadas, japanese beetles, and stink bugs. Now for the first time ever we're being invaded by kudzu bugs, yikes 😳 I Enjoyed spending time with y'all once again. Have a blessed week 🙏💕🤗
Your videos are so lovely. I really enjoy watching you sort and organize, it makes me want to go through some of my things. But it's especially nice seeing you both making your house snug for winter. Thanks for taking the time to record all this, Tipper.
Oh my goodness I just saw the battery charger that Mat used to start Katie’s car! It is so amazing! I just went on AMAZON and bought for my honey for Father’s Day! I so enjoy you and Mat and y’all’s special talks with each other and us. It blesses our hearts so much! Mat is so much like my Honey, so kind and good to you, and it shows so much! He has his own little way of letting you know his family is very important to him! That’s how my honey is! We have been married 41 years, and we both are so blessed to have each other. We have one son and he will be 27 June 12th. He’s not married yet, but just waiting on GOD to direct his path to what ever he has planned for him!
We just love y’all and have never met, but we feel a connection. Praying y’all to keep blessing folks the way y’all do everyday! I can’t wait for the next joyful event! ♥️
Thank you so much 😊
I have watched these videos with you and Matt eating popsicles that I made myself 😁buy me some. Yes it was as refreshing as I thought it would be. I got the Outshine coconut popsicles that has real coconut pieces in it. They are awesome! I sat out on my porch, ate a popsicle, and watched the squirrels collecting their Winter harvest. Thanks for your videos! I enjoy spending time with you even if it is through a lens.
I saw Popsicles when I was shopping last week,nearly got some . Might next week. Spring here so it will be Popsicle weather soon.
Oh yeah they got us going on those Popsicles! Tangerine and lime are my favorite. Pomegranate good too.
This comment is for Mr. Matt. Could you harvest a couple squirrels and show us how to make squirrel gravy? My Grandmother used to make it and it was my all-time favorite. God bless you both and thank you for bringing us all together once again to Celebrate Appalachia.
Congratulations Matt! Sorting through memories is always fun, hey the porch looks nice
Thank you 😀
i love the Indian summer.... whas born in Ontario Canada...68 years ago.....wonderful memories.....enjoy y'all...
I’m about the age of you and Matt and I can easily remember that we had more snow in the 70’s. I’m from Alberta (prairie province in western Canada) and while it definitely snows here every year, I have a vivid memory of there being so much snow that we were standing on the very top bar of the swing set in my friends yard! Plus we dug snow tunnels and my brothers attempted to make an igloo! I lived in town so we rarely missed school but when the country kids couldn’t be bussed in we would have a pretty fun and easy day at school. It’s funny how I don’t like being out in the snow much anymore but sure miss those carefree snowy days! Love your channel and learning about your lifestyle where you live!
The foliage behind y'all, they are so colorful. I was telling my son we have had more vibrate color 's this fall and like Matt said it's definitely early. Your nasturtium 's are incredible. You two will have to switch to hot cocoa in the winter. 😂 Blessings from VA, native from NH.
Did you mean Daddy long-legs? The spiders. Rock painting, a forgotten childhood memory. It's not so easy to thow away things you have collected over the years. Ha! not just hoarders, Apalachian hoarders! Your Pop-circle chats with Matt at the end are priceless.
You two aren't old yet...it may feel like it some days, but we've been married over 57 years and grateful for each day...enjoy your videos...and the popcicles, too!😊
I enjoyed Matt’s humerus comment “that concludes this episode of the hoarders” reminded me of something my husband would say. I miss him terribly. It will be 5 years this Memorial Day. I began to Watch your video on Pap’s passing and grief so good thank you ❤ Your porch looks so pretty!
"We are those old people" Gotta love Matt. God Bless.
I remember the winter of 1977-78 storm also. We were out of school for Christmas break and a big Nor'easter hit. We got over 2 feet of snow overnight. Then it went into a deep freeze and didn't get above freezing for almost the whole month of January.
I remember that also. I was in college in Banner Elk and the schools in Avery County were closed from Christmas break until about Feb. 15th.
Watching from California and wishing that I can be in a place like yours 😍
Thank you for watching! I hope someday you can 😀
I agree. The peacefulness is precious. We have a nice yard and veggie garden with trees around but we are in City limits. Our city is trying to stop the problem we have of the ding dongs who like to take there cars and screech and spin donuts till the burned rubber smoke is on top of us. It really ruins the mood. I hope they never see that sort of thing in Appalachia.
If you're in California check out the El Dorado County area. Similar areas all around to the north and East, especially Pollock Pines. Fires are a big issue though, so fair warning.
Your porch looks great! Funny how we can accumulate things we don't want to part with, especially if they were made by someone we care about... thanks for sharing your day 🤗❤️❤️
I can remember squirrel hunting alone as a boy of 12...the smell of the mountain air..the squirrels cutting on hickory nuts. Those memories go back over 60 years.
It was funny when Matt said he was going to Waller in the yard.🤣I love watching you all. I’m from South Eastern Kentucky but I live in Michigan. I’m very proud to be a southern belle❤️
Another enjoyable outside video ❤ love the beautiful trees there …that battery chainsaw looks like a very handy tool…love the popsicle breaks and y’all chatting 🤗❤️
Matt sounded fun when he said about the hoarders. That made me think of my husband ( Matt ) and myself. But I’m the one with wants to get rid of things, and he wants to keep everything. That chainsaw looked pretty neat.
That washtub brings back a memory. Mama would fill it it full of water in the hot sun so it would warm up and that would be my Saturday bath!
😀 Thank you for sharing that Wanda!
My Hans just snickered from heaven. Lol. I have 'treasures' that he and I debated over, just like you. It's lovely to reminisce.
I love these visits with you. Thank you so much. We love your family so much. And, of coarse, popsicle time. 🥰❤️🍂🍁 it's beautiful there with the colors & sounds of nature. It's so cozy.
The colors are gorgeous behind you!!! Its really turned here in western Ky too!!i would love to live around the mountians! We’ll be headed to the mountains this week! Woot! So beautiful…. If I could move anywhere …. It would be somewhere in Appalachia….. 😍…. Love listening to y’all! Just feels so homey! Like I should definitely be family hehe! God bless you all.
I just love your videos so much, I was born in 1958 the year your sweet grandma graduated. I just love to see you cook and Matt come in and fix his plate, there is so much 💕💕
Thanks so much 😀
Hi Tipper & Matt
I love the stain on your home , turned out really nice 😊 and looks great with your treasures & memories sitting around …
Tipper I enjoy wind chimes also …
I love to see all the trees changing colors
Getting ready for the new season ahead of us !!!!
Thanks again for another awesome video
Take care
Brenda
Tipper, please get Matt to put a good coat of wax on the birdhouse and then mount it somewhere in your garden. The wax will keep it from deteriorating so quickly and maybe you'll get a bird. Those kinds of things in my garden make me smile when I am so hot and sweaty here in the deep South. I look forward to seeing you all. It's like a wonderful neighbor family stopped by for a visit. May God continue to bless you and all your sweet family and friends in beautiful Appalachia!
You guys are so cute! Loving the scenery in the background. Be blessed!
I purchased one of those saws for tree limbs and such…. A real time saver when you don’t want to drag out the big gas saw.
🤗Love this episode, so good to be invited to join you both on your popsicle chats! Wish I could jump through the screen and sit between you two! Good to hear you laughing, Tipper! We'll look forward to your first fire. We hope you'll share it with us. God bless!
I enjoyed looking at your treasures with you. Sometimes our things become tangible memories. Your porch is beautiful and inviting. Everything a porch should be!
Matt, I bought a 7mm Mauser surplus rifle in 1970. My favorite deer gun. I just paid $64.99 per 20 round box before taxes! Took me 10 months to find them! Going squirrel hunting Thursday! Can’t wait to fire up my old cast iron Dutch oven! Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you Jonathan 😀
You could use the nuts as garland in your Christmas tree! That would be so pretty
I so miss living between two hills. Growing up I didn’t like living in the country. I was to far from anything. Now I so appreciate living between those two hills. Beautiful country you live in!
I just LOVE how grounded both Ya'll are.
I was so surprised how many of the very things we have on our porch. A table out of a hewn piece of wood, wind chimes, bird houses, bottles, little welcome signs, rocking chairs and much more…and we live way up north in upstate New York!
Love that 😀
I love to watch the fall of the year work especially yours in the Appalachian mountains
Y'all need to save that stuff to amaze the future grandkids with all the cool treasures!
I'm only at the half way point and I'm exhausted just watching you guys! Whew! I need a nap! Lol
♥️👛🤩😘🤗
😀
My husband bought me a Milwaukee battery-powered chain saw and I LOVE IT!! I like to do work outside when he's at work but could never get his gas powered one started!! He also bought me a mini one and let tell you, that little one is super handy
You should use that beautiful slice of wood you had as your top to the barrel because one side of it looks like a heart for your coffee table between your chairs.
Just stain it & put a polyurethane finish on it & secure it to the barrel so it won't tip over.
The heart between you that shows your love for each other & your family.
Tipper, we women are so sentimental! I have boxes of stuff that my kids are going to say, "Why did she save that!" My son would bring me pretty rocks and I still have a pile of them and he's 40.
I laughed out loud….And this concludes this episode of The Hoarders…..and then…I might come out and wallow like a dog. Matt love it when he comments. We have had a couple frosts and snow is expected either Monday or Tuesday. I took up the garden and the flowers are kaput. The porch looks lovely. I can relate Tipper. Down six items….ok we need at least one popsicle in the snow.
Those trees in the background was the first thing I noticed during popsicle break.love to watch you two work together 🍂🍁🍂
The colors of the leaves were so pretty I found myself getting distracted looking at them, but distracted in a good way. Hello from the eastern part of North Carolina, 45 minutes from the Atlantic coast.
@@johnnabuzby6103 eastern Kentucky says hello🍂🍁
I heard this year the southern states are going to get above average snowfall!!😃🥶 Also you could do your popsicle talks in winter in front of your wood stove.
Those trees behind you are just beautiful, it looks like a picture ❤️ you live in a very pretty place❤️
When I was a kid 70 years ago, I would go squirrel hunting with my dad. Mom would make fried squirrel and gravy ,yummy. Good wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing your video and life.
Loved Matt tossing the turtle shell and golf ball . That's what's up !!
I follow a couple who live upstate New York called Logging with Jim.He logs with draft horses.Jim is a master with chain saw.Always enjoy your site and daughters also!
Thank you!!
I really enjoyed you two having a popsicle and just talking, include your hubby more often.
Galvanized washtubs that brings back memories . Tell Matt that the winter of 1976 into the new year of 1977 was the winter that the snow ,and freezing temperatures closed the school for 43 days . It was good that we did not have to make those school days up . Thanks Tipper, enjoyed.
The fall colors behind you is so beautiful ❤️. We live in Oklahoma and they are saying that we might be getting snow this week. I never remember it snowing this early in the year.
The colours in your garden are beautiful, Thankyou for another lovely video sharing your treasures. . 🥰🇬🇧🍂🍁
I power washed my porch last night. Threw away and gave away some of it. Open wide now! We pulled the trash can to the porch! Filled it full. Threw away the wind chimes too.😂
Early freeze here last night. We pulled our tomato vines and picked about a bushel and half green tomatoes to store. Covered our beets, lettuce, and cabbage with straw and blankets. In the 20s outside so I'm going out tomorrow with a bow. We are to have 3 days below average temperatures at night then its supposed to warm into the 80s for a while. I envy you your fall colors. We've really had drouth this year so our colors won't be anything exceptional. Lots of mast here too. Wish Matt good luck on his hunts and you many wonderful fall days before the cold turns bitter.
Save that wash tub for your future grandbabies to play in some day. The porch looks great. You guys have a beautiful place. Thank you always for sharing. I remember in the late 70's being out of school for like a month here in Missouri.
I hope you share some squirrel recipes, I would enjoy watching video.
Tipper, I think this is the best "backyard chat" you two have done so far! I thoroughly enjoyed it and all the rest of them. They are just so real!
Prayed for you Cindy!
I enjoy hearing you guys stories.
Loved this. My husband and I are the opposite. We get rid of everything! There is nothing I like more than a clean surface. 😂
The porch looks great. I wish I could sit in my grandmother's porch swing in Kentucky again. It's been about 60 years since I've had that pleasure. Still have the fond memories though. God bless.
I really enjoyed watching you sort through your treasures. I also laughed at Matt's comment of hoaders lol. Same at our house!😂 The mountains behind you could be on a postcard. Just breath in that country air. Nothing better!
Ya'll are the sweetest couple. I really enjoy your "popsicle" chats.
Love watching you all getting ready for Winter..
I just love your porch! There's nothing like swinging on the porch in the mountains. One of my very good friends would swing all day everyday if she could. Anytime we are together and we are at a place that has a swing, we're in it talking. Great times!!!
Thanks for sharing your afternoon with us! Your metal treasures brought back memories for me. I used to have a pile of things I found when I was young. Nothing high dollar, just stuff I thought was pretty or interesting. I still have a few small old medicine bottles I dug out of the backyard and old license plates. I used to share my stuff with my Grandma which drove my Grandpa nuts. He'd see us coming and say how "happy" he was that we were bringing more things to dust. Have a blessed week.
you guys are such good buddies. "There all good". I like Matt's personality he is totally chill
I just love watching these videos! I grew up in southern Ohio with a lot of the Appalachian ways. I dearly love my Appalachian roots and am proud of it. You're channel just makes me feel like I can go home anytime I want. Thank you Tipper, Matt and girls!!
Love your family pretty lady. Blessings to you all.
That battery powered stuff is handy and actually runs real well. I have a backpack blower that rarely gets used except in the fall because the battery blower is just so easy to deal with and you don’t have to fight with it to get it running.
People talk about spring cleaning but I've always found the fall clean-up to be more satisfying. Enjoy the season!
I love seeing Matt working while you are talking. It just reminds me of a SCTV skit. I have a Ryobi battery chainsaw, and I love trimming low hanging branches with it. Hint: Get a 2nd battery! Stay safe, gang!
Last month we had a storm that came through it took a big tree down at my sisters house. Tree trimmers said it would take two months to get out to her house. I told her no problem I had just purchased a Ryobi battery chainsaw went to her house and we got all of the limbs cut and moved so she could see how much damage was done to her pull behind trailer. Sister liked the little chainsaw so much she went two days later and purchase one for herself. We’re both in our late 60s and not afraid of work. Yes a second battery is a must and a fast charging station.
I’ve never seen pinecones that BIG! I have painted and put glitter on some much smaller pine cones. They are ornaments for our Christmas tree.
Very nice visit, beautiful fall colors. 1956 my late husband got 61 squirrels. God Bless. Jean
That's a lot of squirrels 😀 Thank you Jean!!
Relaxing video. Love hearing the different tidbits and stories!
Oh WOW! The leaves are really showing off there where you live! They're brighter than usual here in Dayton TN too. Love it!
We are southern Oklahoma and have freeze warnings for Monday and Tuesday. Which is early for us.and we finally got some rain hallejuah praise.Good friends are a blessing for sure.
So glad you got some rain Linda 😀
Matt is so funny- he’s going to waller in the grass when the frost comes. That doesn’t compare to coconuts looking like toenails. Keep cheering us up Matt.
Your place is just so beautiful! I love the stain/treatment you put on your house and your porch is just lovely🥰
I love your barrel. If that piece of wood 🪵 you had was big enough....that would have looked cute sitting on top of your barrel. It could of been your table top. 😉😊 Just an idea. I have things like that too. I even had a little lamp on my front porch for awhile. I don't remember what happened to it, but it was cute sitting out on my front porch. Believe me.... it don't end. Wait til ya have grandkids. You find yourself collecting and saving even more stuff. It doesn't mean that much to anyone else but you. 😁🥰❤❤❤
I enjoyed the talk and sharing of clearing the porch up plus deer and squirrel hunting talk. Best of luck in deer season and squirrel. Take care.
"it's airish outside" I haven't heard that expression in a long time. Thank you for reminding me of that!
It is sweet you keep all the girls treasures. Matt is very patient with all your clutter. I'm a clutter person also and we are always on the hunt for new ones.
The fall colors in this video are beautiful. Love your channel.
Beautiful day and a lot accomplished. Thanks for sharing it.
