    I was born and raised in Arizona. After 52 years, we moved to Vancouver, Washington. Even after three years, I still get excited when I see the creeks and rivers full of water! Who knew?

    Gary I have to say you are a very talented craftsman! Remember when you are in the south it is said “Bless their little Hearts!” This is when someone has done something wrong!

    I like golden pecan to. I've got 2 end tables & a large cabinet stained like that. It's my favorite stain color.
    Amazing Grace signing reminded me of my two grandma's. When I was really younger they would take me to church & we would sign that song almost everytime we went to church....
    R.I.P. ~ H.M.F.1988 & G.M.W. 2011 ~ Thank you for planting the seeds for someone to come along & water them years later.
    Great video everyone. Thank you for sharing your videos with us,
    Chris from Missouri

    Proud alumnus of Berea College! Have known Warren May since 1977. Congrats on your new mountain dulcimer. Check out Kentucky Music Week in Bardstown, Kentucky. A solid week of classes on many instruments including mountain dulcimers. You would really enjoy it.

    I've been watching for a couple years now and I have been enjoying every minute. Something that stands out to me in each video is how the whole family is so positive. Watching you all makes me feel so good that I can't wait for each new video.

    Here in Kentucky we call them wild onions. They grow everywhere.
    You should come back in the summer. When everything is green. Yes, most all of our rivers and streams flow all year. You were in Daniel Boone country. Thus the name Boone Tavern. You were on the edge of Daniel Boone Nation Forest. Eastern Kentucky is a very beautiful and historic area. My wife grew up in Beria. Jesse James spent a lot of time in KY, hiding from the law. He had family here. The next time you are here you should check out the horse farms around Lexington.

      I live in Lex and when I mow my yard, if the wind isn't blowing, I can smell the wild onions!

    • @juliehadley8336
      @juliehadley8336 4 года назад

      Also from Kentucky! I live in Richmond now but I grew up around Danville ("The City of Firsts"). When they picked up the "chives" from the ground I just kept saying to myself, "those are wild onions!" lol. I remember chewing on them now and then when I was a kid- that and honeysuckles. There's just nothing like the smell of fresh-cut Kentucky grass and wild onions on the wind. We live in a truly beautiful state filled to the brim with history and tranquility.

    For the aquaponics have you considered a “compost” heater. The heat generated by an active compost pile can be used to keep water from freezing.

    Please be so thankful for your father to teach you all these things! Some of us "country folk" don't have fathers. Literally the cornerstone of life are our parents. I watch y'all and am grateful for what I can give mine. I Truly appreciate the time spent, love and compassion for life that your parents give to you all! What a life you all have and a great wish for many young girls and boys!!

    I came across your RUclips channel and I was captivated. So much so that I have been binge watching (just a pause for eye spray) I love your story and çan identify with your outlook on family. The building of separate earth bag bedrooms was an inspiration. I live in the UK and have lived in a cob built dwelling that was constructed in the 1500s and I loved it. I love the way you present your content and I'm surprised that you haven't got more subscribers. I have to post a link to your channel. I will be launching a podcast on a new RUclips channel soon and would love to invite you to take part if you could spare a little time. In the meantime, I will get back to my binging. Wonderful! J x

    ♥ The sink ledge underside should of been protected too by sealing it closest to the sink and the rest could been left be, so the under splash doesnt get to the wood.
    You guys werent too far off from me I live in Indiana. Awww I wish I could of bumped into you all to give you hugs. Happy you guys went on a vacation to and brought home a new set of stings ♥

    It seems like adding that shiny windowsill added a LOT more LIGHT as it seems to be reflecting off the surface of the wood. It is all so beautiful, creative and debt-free! I LOVE your channel and how you continue to share the multiple talents God has given each of you. You each work so well independently, yet you also make a very strong TEAM. Blessings from Texas 💙

    I enjoy all your videos so greatly. Haven't figured out how to see them in order, so I just jump around and watch whatever comes up. It's always great. I would like to make a request that you post a map of the property either a ground or air view (or both) and identify the different structures as to whose they are are (bedrooms) and when they were finished. I try to keep track but it's easy to get confused. Thank you all so much for sharing your lives and adventures with us and adding something beautiful to our lives. Prayers for God's greatest blessings on all of you and be sure to let us know when the little angel arrives. Hugs

    So good yo see yall.
    Oh you have no idea how much it means to me to see yall's dogs, especially the Pugd! My Pug baby left me in March of last year. She and I had been together for nearly 18 years. That's a long time for a Pug....I'm 54 years old and have been a Pug owned human for over20 years, now I'm Pugless and it's a really hard thing to deal with. 😥

    Love that wide kitchen window shelf Gary! With so much width and proximity to water and sunlight, coating the bottom side too will go a long way to keeping it flat over time.

    Kentucky is loaded with history, and soon I'll be moving there. I love all the lakes ponds and creeks. Best jug fishing for the greatest tasting catfish nuggets ever.
    Love dolcimer music, and yours with the history & hummingbirds is pretty special.

    When we first moved to Dallas pre-GPS, I got lost because my directions were, down this road, as soon as you cross the river take the hwy going north, ya can't miss it. Well we drove for miles and miles and never did see a river... We didn't know that in the summer the Trinity River was narrower than a lot of the creeks we'd lived by in Pennsylvania.

    Definitely neeeeeed more songs 🎵 played and sang by the family. Would be a lovely tribute to end each episode with a family song and one day string them all together for a special family reunion rembrance. 💘
    We cried thankful tears as you sang .... to God be the Glory for your gift from Him. May it be used for His glory 🙏

    We are right down the road from Berea KY. It is a beautiful place with great shops and a beautiful campus. You should come back in spring when it's all green and lush, talk about a pretty place! We hope you had fun here and hope you all come back! We watch your channel every Friday and love it!

    Dad looks real GOOD! Ooooh I feel real bad about the aquaponics system. I like that the RUclips community has been helpful with inputs. Thank you for the Kentucky visit and tour.... I feel like I joined you on vacation (oh yea, I am part of the Family). Ha ha, nothing like showing up at someones house..... lol lol ("Excuse me..... Can we see your lake?"). I was really interested in the makings of the dulcimer. Happy you bought one. Windowsill looks great.

  • @cometdust69
    @cometdust69 4 года назад

    This weekly peek did not disappoint (none have)! The interview with the dulcimer maker was quite informative and the search for more history of the wood, I wouldn't have thought of that during a trip makes this even more enjoyable. Well can't wait to hear some dulcimer music in the background.

  • @perfectaart7354
    @perfectaart7354 4 года назад +1

    Kitchen is just beautiful, an amazing job👍🏻. The dulcimer is a great find, the maker is wonderful and very proud of his work. I didn’t realize Shea was Shea until about halfway through the video, thought she was a relative you were visiting , new hair do threw me off. I appreciate all the work y’all do to make these videos, love watching, look forward every week to seeing what you’ve dreamed up to do/make next. Wishing you all the best of life for 2020. 🙋🏼🥰

    Love your new dulcimer made with wood with a long history. That's really neat. Also that you got pictures of the old jail. It's a shame no one had pictures of the interior. You sounded great singing. Amazing Grace. America's Got Talent, here comes Brie.

    Yall coming out here and being amazed by us having flowing creeks, would be the same with me coming to your area. Part of God's great paint brush. No 2 places are the same but we are all connected somehow. So since there was no news or announcements made, I take it the newest member has not graced us yet with herself. I hate to hear about the aquaponics fish, but now they are giving back to the plants still. Remember Bryson one step back will lead you 5 steps ahead. I would take a build a few different types of the waterheaters and see which type works the best for you.

    The first time I saw or even heard of a dulcimer was on the Waltons, John boy had one. Then my ex husbands mom had one ( whom I never met she passed away from cancer at age 47) which she played. This is a beautiful instrument and sounds beautiful too.

    Thank you for taking us on your trip! The kitchen is so beautiful. Had to get the SS camper mug with the beautiful dulcimer. Can't wait until it arrives!
