The reason why I love Arkansas is because I was born there almost 80 years ago. I have many family members there 1 sister in Dover. Our parents were born and raised there.
Dear Miss Lori and Mr. Brown, Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of your home state with us. I had very little knowledge about Arkansas before I began following your wonderful and inspiring videos. You indeed live in a gorgeous part of our world. My dear husband who is 96 years old is declining so I am on the hop day and night. I'm stressed and exhausted but I find calmness and peace when I have a chance to visit with you both. I keep both of you in my prayers. My husband frequently asks about you both as he knows how much you have come to mean to me. God Bless. Love, Jody.
I was helped while my daughter in law was in Houston Texas taking cancer treatments for a few months. But when we came home and crossed into Arkansas I couldn’t help but sing and laugh 😂 ❤
I’m 65 now but when I was 15 I spent a summer in Arkansas w/my friend whose gramma lived there. For a California girl I’m sure I stuck out like a sore thumb. But I remember how green everything was and how nice all the people I met were. It was a great summer full of wonderful memories.
Appreciate you taking us on a day trip with you. Was born in Arkansas back in the 50’s, Daddy was military and we ended up in Alabama. My Mom’s people live in DesArc, Conway, Searcy, & Beebe. Arkansas is a wonderful state with a lot of good people like you and Mr. Brown. God bless Arkansas!
Dear Miss Lori, I loved your video today! You really showed some absolutely beautiful views of Arkansas! In a time where are freedoms are trying to be taken away from us by our government; who wouldn’t want less regulations on our lives and our families? I’m so tired of being told what cars we need to purchase, what stoves we need to use to cook our food, and what we must permit the government to decide what our children should be taught in school. Everyday we seem to have less control of our lives. Being able to live more affordable is a dream of everyone! You envy us by the amount of land you have to grow food and have some privacy that we don’t have. Thank you for showing us we do have alternatives to consider!
I just want to take a minute to agree with you. Fortunately for me, my children are grown and have there own families, but I still have the same concerns that you have about my grandsons, all 5 of them and what there future has in store for them. I have been a widow now for 10 years. My husband had so many hopes and dreams for our future and that of our grandsons. It used to be so common to see the American Flag on peoples front porch or yard and was so proud of being from this once great country. Now the government steps in and what we once had is like a thief in the night. Our rights that were fought for are being taken away so the govt can bring in foreigners and give these non-citizens the right to have a home by taking ours, making sure they have medical care despite the fact that being born and raised here, we cannot afford to pay for out medications that the others are getting for free. The more I think about it, the more I am starting to think that We are now a ‘third world country’. Such a shame is it that people get off the boats and no one bothers to check out their histories such as Criminal records. As a Citizen of the United States of America, we are being thrown into a den of Lions just like Daniel was in the Bible. If we were all born or was able to come into a life of money and luxuries, like our government representatives, like them too, we wouldn’t have a care in the world. I want to ask our Leaders how many of them are tested for Drug use! They are running our country I to the ground. As a retired medical worker, I too had to be checked for drug use before getting the jobs I’ve had. But why doesn’t our leaders have to do the same thing! I believe that these leaders from the Mayors, Aldermen Representatives and all Public workers in politics, should be required to have random Drug tests at least once every month! It may very well be that the reason drugs are so Prevelent in this country because the pushers are in the government working it as a second job. I guess it will be up to our God alone to punish those that are stealing the rights of us. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I am just concerned about what our elected officials are doing just throwing us to the Lions and the wolves. Take care and God Bless You
Just beautiful. Husband and I are getting ready to move to the Ozarks for every reason you stated here. Thank you and thank God for confirming our direction.
Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer Graham Bolt from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?
Good morning Ms Lori. & Mr Brown, I want to say a big thank you for taking me with you on this day trip! You both make me feel so Happy just knowing that there are such good people like you out there. To see the two of you lets me know that God has touched you and if he makes more people like you, this beautiful world would be a much more wonderful to be in. Like this day trip with your grandbabies, you are a breath of fresh air! I have been thru Arkansas many years ago. Being a Military family, we didn’t stay in any one place for long but to be able to travel thru nearly 46 states, my life has been an adventure. I still yearn to travel but when my husband passed away 10 years ago, I’ve only taken one trip but that was to Ireland. My husband was the King of my Castle, after God of course, so I knew that I needed to take him with me on this final journey. His ashes are now along the whole country and near many of the Castles. I would enjoy watching you both get to go also, you won’t regret it! Ireland is such a Beautiful country and the people there are bred to be kindhearted, again like you! I Pray that you two will get to travel and enjoy your lives while being here on Gods Green And Blue Earth! God says to not be proud, but to be a friend to you both, would make me proud and so happy to have such wonderful people like you as a friend. I hope he will forgive me for feeling this way! I’m sorry this is so long but I just had to let you know how much joy you are giving on your videos. You touch my heart. God love you both. Ms. Jilli
Miss Lori do you want Mr. Brown to give so much comfort and happiness to people along with sharing the word of God. I hope that you are truly blessed and I agree with the subscriber above this was just such a relaxing video and you are so appreciated. May God bless you and your family now and always.
Thank you Ms. Lori for sharing this beautiful video of just one of the many wonderful places in our dear Arkansas! The many springs, streams, rivers and lakes provide so much peaceful beauty for our residents and visitors. I grew up not too far from Cherokee Village and my great grandmother owned land that is now a part of Horseshoe Bend. Arkansas has been and always will be my treasured home.
I am sure there are pros and cons whereever we live. Iowa is also a great state to live in. We have lots of job opportunities here, we have rolling hills, we have the beautiful Mississippi River, we have affordable housing, we have the four seasons, we have Excellent Education, and Iowa is one of the safest places to live in the United States. We have tons of farmland, great for retirees, because we have affordable cost of living. Every place is as great as you make it, I guess. Home is always where the heart is ❤💞

I was born and raised in California, moved here 50 years ago this week. I always loved that it was so green here and now I have a beautiful yard and big garden. I love the beauty of Arkansas
It’s such a beautiful state. We have driven through Arkansas a few times in our travels, but were mainly on the interstate. We did take our daughters, when they were kids, to the Crater of Diamonds state park. They had fun digging for diamonds…..😊

That is beautiful country living! I think I have only seen the flatland by the interstate while headed home from Missouri. It looks so dry when we drive by… usually I see harvested fields and low rocky land. I can see now we need to get off the interstate and explore. We sold our camper to a man from Arkansas…he was happy and so were we.
My husband is from the south . We are retiring in 5 years. Going back south when the time comes. Thank you ms Lori for the beutiful sceanery. So beetiful.
People not from here may not understand, but it's really a wonderful place to live! When I was young I dreamed of someday leaving, now I wouldn't live anywhere else. Just working toward the day I can buy a little piece of land and do a little homesteading myself.
You’re exactly right! I moved from Arkansas when my husband was transferred out of state. I can’t wait until I’ll be able to move back. Hopefully, sometime next year.
We are in south Arkansas, husband kids and I have all lived here our whole lives. It's a great gun laws and homeschooling state as well. I do think the area from hot springs to northern Arkansas near Bentonville, Roger's and Springdale is far more desirable however, and will likely relocate there in future years.

Love the nature shots!! The walk in the woods and rushing water with children playing in the edge was beautiful to see and wonderful to hear. Oh how I wtould love to set with my feet in that water.
I so loved seeing your beautiful state!! I want to visit it someday!! I enjoyed seeing Mr. Brown playing with the grand babies!! And that fancy footwork!!! Love and hugs from Kentucky!!
BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for sharing! I have family in Rogers, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Until recently, my son and his family lived in Little Rock; he is a mental health therapist and his wife is a pastor.
Mr. Brown dances like my Grandpa, When I was teen, he would watch american bandstand with me and I would dace and sometimes he would get up dance with me. this was 1971.
It’s beautiful there like it is here in Kentucky. I love Kentucky and Tennessee. I actually have a step sister that lives in Arkansas but I don’t know where. We’ve lost contact. I’ll be happy to go on a journey of your state with you… Enjoy the calm. We have more rain and storms moving in. God bless. Love you and Mr Brown. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
There's a place called falling water in Arkansas that has a campmeetin from last of June till day after the fourth. Falls, swimming, Church, dirt roads....what a blessing
Even though I was not born there, my mom and dad were both born and raised in North Little Rock. Roots go way, way back. I spent a lot of time there growing up with my grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Going to the curb markets with my grandma and coming back and shelling peas and speckled butter beans. I was her constant shadow and learned to make great biscuits and cobblers in her kitchen. My best memories! Love Arkansas! I'm only a couple hrs away ans sometimes I just need to go "home"

I know it does your heart good to spend time away with Mr Brown and the grands. Tell them your subscribers enjoyed watching them play outside and have fun with y’all. God bless you all.
what a relaxing, peaceful and so beautiful a video Ms. Lori. Wishing I could have joined y'all. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you, Mr. Brown and your family.
I love and miss Arkansas! My parents moved from there to Texas when my brothers were small. My sister and I were born here in Texas, but we spent long summer vacations in Arkansas while we were growing up. Both of my parents’ families lived there for generations in Van Buten County, mostly in the Clinton and Shirley area. When I do get to go back, it feels like I’m coming home. ❤
If you sell milk in Arkansas the customer must come to your place where the animals live. Also you can only sell so much milk a month. I am 50 started our little homestead about 3 years ago. I'm definitely am learning as I go. I really appreciate all y’all’s help getting me through this learning curve.

I was born in Helena in 1960. My Daddy was a sharecropper on a farm on the levee of the Mississippi River in a small town called Elaine were my grandfather run a cotton gin. it is still a dear place to me.

Aw, thanks for taking us along. Avery Jo looks to be the same age as our seven year old grand daughter. It's so fun to see the world through the eyes of a child, especially when outside in nature.
It’s so nice to see those kids enjoying the great outdoors without cell phones. They are living like I did in the 50s and 60s. Most kids today will never know what they’re missing!!
Thank you for the wonderful tour! People must remember though that you can't run awayfrom your problems , they tend to go with you ! Lol. Reminded me of my childhood in Ohio. Looked like a lot of the places we would camp and the freedom i felt as a child out in nature.
Thank you for the video! My SO is retired military and from 2 different states. We moved all over the place and realized neither home state feels like home right now. We live in SWLA right now but have been visiting AR. We are falling IN LOVE. We want to buy land after we pay down debt and homestead. I'm ticking down the days.
Grand kids will never be too old or too big for Granddaddy to push em on the play ground. And I'm sure Mrs.Lory you were clutching some snacks for all at the end of the day. Love you're adventures stay safe..
I still want to see Arkansas some day. My dad was born and raised there in Hot Springs. While he was in the service during WWII his family moved to CA.
Beautiful country !! My best friend of 30 years moved back to huntsville last year. She is from there and her family is there, but I miss her terribly. You remind me of her. Someday I would love to visit your beautiful state, . God bless you and your family. Thankyou for sharing your life with us!❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the video today! Everything looks so beautiful around your homestead & the countryside where y’all went with the kids! Love the water & sounds of nature! Be blessed❣️❣️

I knew 2 wonderful families that moved to the northwest corner. They loved it. I only actually made it over there once. It was beautiful! Full of outdoor activities.
I really loved this one so much. The waterfalls are so fun to watch. Grandkids keep us young and they will remember days like this. Thank you for sharing with us.
Enjoyed seeing the children explore. So many children do not know about opportunities like this. Thank you for sharing, allowing me to reflect back on my childhood memories. ❤❤

Arkansas is beautiful. I have family in Norfork and Mountain Home. It was always so easy to go kayaking or canoeing. Where I live, we have to drive two hours to do something like that.
My brother and his wife are leaving next month to live there. There daughter and husband just moved there. And they LOVE it ❤. I hope someday too as well.
I LOVE your videos and have learned so much from watching them. Just a few weeks ago a very dear friend & I went in together and purchased a homestead in Marshall. We will be moving in the fall. It was an answer to prayer and we are so thankful for His faithfulness to us ... and we're thankful for you and your helpful insights and teachings. Please keep them coming!!

I was born in southern Missouri in a town called Thayer Missouri by the Arkansas border. Both my parents were born and raised in Arkansas. I love it there, where you’re at in the hills of Arkansas
Hi Miss Lori and Mr. Brown, I love the state of Arkansas. My Mother and all of her family was born and raised there. Benton, Arkansas is home to us. Take care and God Bless.

I love Arkansas (and southern Missouri). Great-grandma was born in Blue Eye, MO and grampa was born in Mountain Home. He always wanted to retire there but never got to do that.
What a perfect video showing off God's goodness and beauty to us in what He created. I love seeing the grand blessings. What a fun time for you all. It's what we love to do with our grands. We're taking the two oldest to Dinosaur State Park in Glenrose TX next month in our 5th wheel. I'm so excited to get to spend time with them before school starts on August 9th!!! Crazy schedule compared to what we grew up with. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you all. Deb xoxTX

It is so nice to enjoy where you live, and find places that are special to share. We have our favorite trails and lakes nearby that are beautiful and so calming.
Ms. Lori,If I was about 25 years younger,I would try my best to move to your beautiful state. It seems more like the days of old are respected. My age,poor health and surviving onSocial Security keeps me planted where I am. God Bless you and your family.
Mr Brown loves being a Grandpa and doing things with his grandkids. I know he was a good father and enjoyed being a father. Arkansas a beautiful place. Here in Austin, TX the heat has been just awful. 12Noon and after 99-106F with real feel up to 124F everything is stressed and turing yellow because it's so dry even tho we have had rain. So seeing green Arkansas is a pleasure.
I agree! This Missouri girl lived in Beebe and Vilonia for a couple of years, then moved to Little Rock while I worked at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. I was editor of the River Valley & Ozark edition and the Three Rivers editions. If I didn't have grandbabies here I would probably move down there!
Beautiful video! Boy, that day out at the park w your grandkids reminded me of the old days when I was growing up. Great times. I loved seeing the inside of Mr Brown's old truck! So neat! Have a blessed week!🌻💖🌅🌸

I grew up in ne Arkansas, mostly Wynne and Forrest City. I remember when the state motto was not "The Natural State" but "Land of Opportunity." I have lots of relatives there and the best childhood memories!
Thank you for sharing Ms Lori and Mr Brown have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Enjoyed hanging out with you and the kiddos soooooo special. 🙏❤🙏❤🙂
What a wonderful video. I can see why you love Arkansas. It’s a beautiful state. You’re making memories with your beautiful grandchildren. I think Arkansas was meant for you and you and Mr. Brown were meant to be in Arkansas. Is there anything better than hearing the water rushing down a waterfall? This stirred up so many memories of my younger days. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.
I want to visit Arkansas someday. I've been looking into my Great Grandmas family. She raised me and she lived into her 90s. Her family is from Ft Smith. They were the combs family and they had a little store and little cabins, I believe. I have family that has visited (we are in the Pacific Northwest now) Ft. smith and they can't find the original spot the property was. I loved my Grandma. She would eat watermelon with a little salt. Make big batches of greens and eat bowls with hot sauce. She was a kind loving soul. You are very similar and that's a big reason why I watch you. Your voice and accent to me is very calming. I miss her. I am 46 and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to spend so much time with her. Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤❤❤

Sweet video. I am not familiar with Arkansas at all. So seeing some of it was interesting. I am looking forward to when you take us along for more exploration of your state. Thanks
Arkansas is beautiful. My husband and I went on vacation and didn't leave for 10 months. We would have stayed longer but covid hit and we came back home to family but we loved living in Heber Springs.
Thank you for this video! If I were younger, ( I'm 65), I'd love to move to Arkansas. But I'm disabled, poor, and single. And stuck in CA.. Me and my sweet house bunny! I sure do love your videos tho Miss Lori! 💗🥰 I prepped to live off grid since I was 16. That dream never came to fruition for me. My boyfriend of 7 years ended up getting another girl pregnant and married her. Oh well! Life's not so bad now! I just wish it'd been a different one 💗

The streams are so soothing that they could put me to sleep . We also have many lakes here in Duluth , Minnesota . It’s at the tip of Lake Superior . A person just don’t get out and enjoy what that have right under there feet . Thanks for the many videos . Enjoy you and of coarse Mr Brown . Bless and many prayers that we all have a beautiful and blessed year .
Miss Lori, you and Mr Brown are a breath of fresh air. The world would be a much better place if everyone were more like you and Mr Brown.
Amen 🙏
Thanks for all of that beautiful scenery, & the sound of the waters are so calming & peaceful.🥰👏💓 A special time with your grandchildren!❤💞
The reason why I love Arkansas is because I was born there almost 80 years ago. I have many family members there 1 sister in Dover. Our parents were born and raised there.

I was helped while my daughter in law was in Houston Texas taking cancer treatments for a few months. But when we came home and crossed into Arkansas I couldn’t help but sing and laugh 😂 ❤
I’m 65 now but when I was 15 I spent a summer in Arkansas w/my friend whose gramma lived there. For a California girl I’m sure I stuck out like a sore thumb. But I remember how green everything was and how nice all the people I met were. It was a great summer full of wonderful memories.

I was born and raised here in Searcy! Been here for 55 years!My daughter and her family live in Beebe.
I live in Searcy, AR I’m 61 yo and have lived here 58 years.
Dear Miss Lori,
I loved your video today! You really showed some absolutely beautiful views of Arkansas! In a time where are freedoms are trying to be taken away from us by our government; who wouldn’t want less regulations on our lives and our families?
I’m so tired of being told what cars we need to purchase, what stoves we need to use to cook our food, and what we must permit the government to decide what our children should be taught in school.
Everyday we seem to have less control of our lives.
Being able to live more affordable is a dream of everyone! You envy us by the amount of land you have to grow food and have some privacy that we don’t have.
Thank you for showing us we do have alternatives to consider!
We only have 20 acres, but it will keep us sustainable, even 5 acres, 2 acres
I just want to take a minute to agree with you. Fortunately for me, my children are grown and have there own families, but I still have the same concerns that you have about my grandsons, all 5 of them and what there future has in store for them. I have been a widow now for 10 years. My husband had so many hopes and dreams for our future and that of our grandsons. It used to be so common to see the American Flag on peoples front porch or yard and was so proud of being from this once great country. Now the government steps in and what we once had is like a thief in the night. Our rights that were fought for are being taken away so the govt can bring in foreigners and give these non-citizens the right to have a home by taking ours, making sure they have medical care despite the fact that being born and raised here, we cannot afford to pay for out medications that the others are getting for free. The more I think about it, the more I am starting to think that We are now a ‘third world country’. Such a shame is it that people get off the boats and no one bothers to check out their histories such as Criminal records. As a Citizen of the United States of America, we are being thrown into a den of Lions just like Daniel was in the Bible.
If we were all born or was able to come into a life of money and luxuries, like our government representatives, like them too, we wouldn’t have a care in the world. I want to ask our Leaders how many of them are tested for Drug use! They are running our country I to the ground. As a retired medical worker, I too had to be checked for drug use before getting the jobs I’ve had. But why doesn’t our leaders have to do the same thing! I believe that these leaders from the Mayors, Aldermen Representatives and all Public workers in politics, should be required to have random Drug tests at least once every month! It may very well be that the reason drugs are so Prevelent in this country because the pushers are in the government working it as a second job. I guess it will be up to our God alone to punish those that are stealing the rights of us.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but I am just concerned about what our elected officials are doing just throwing us to the Lions and the wolves.
Take care and God Bless You
Thank you Lori for sharing this video. I loved the sounds of the water flowing. Grandchildren are so precious. God Bless you all
Just beautiful. Husband and I are getting ready to move to the Ozarks for every reason you stated here. Thank you and thank God for confirming our direction.
❤
Wonderful!

We moved to the North Arkansas Ozarks 2 years ago from N Idaho:) Where are you moving from?
Good morning Ms Lori. & Mr Brown, I want to say a big thank you for taking me with you on this day trip! You both make me feel so Happy just knowing that there are such good people like you out there. To see the two of you lets me know that God has touched you and if he makes more people like you, this beautiful world would be a much more wonderful to be in. Like this day trip with your grandbabies, you are a breath of fresh air! I have been thru Arkansas many years ago. Being a Military family, we didn’t stay in any one place for long but to be able to travel thru nearly 46 states, my life has been an adventure. I still yearn to travel but when my husband passed away 10 years ago, I’ve only taken one trip but that was to Ireland. My husband was the King of my Castle, after God of course, so I knew that I needed to take him with me on this final journey. His ashes are now along the whole country and near many of the Castles. I would enjoy watching you both get to go also, you won’t regret it! Ireland is such a Beautiful country and the people there are bred to be kindhearted, again like you! I Pray that you two will get to travel and enjoy your lives while being here on Gods Green And Blue Earth!
God says to not be proud, but to be a friend to you both, would make me proud and so happy to have such wonderful people like you as a friend. I hope he will forgive me for feeling this way! I’m sorry this is so long but I just had to let you know how much joy you are giving on your videos. You touch my heart. God love you both. Ms. Jilli
Jilli, you touch my heart with so many kind words,
If come through the hills sometime, let me know
Miss Lori do you want Mr. Brown to give so much comfort and happiness to people along with sharing the word of God. I hope that you are truly blessed and I agree with the subscriber above this was just such a relaxing video and you are so appreciated. May God bless you and your family now and always.
I've lived here in Arkansas my whole life. I can't think of anywhere else i would rather live. We have a beautiful state!
Thank you Ms. Lori for sharing this beautiful video of just one of the many wonderful places in our dear Arkansas! The many springs, streams, rivers and lakes provide so much peaceful beauty for our residents and visitors. I grew up not too far from Cherokee Village and my great grandmother owned land that is now a part of Horseshoe Bend. Arkansas has been and always will be my treasured home.
Priceless memories being made with your grandchildren❤
I am sure there are pros and cons whereever we live. Iowa is also a great state to live in. We have lots of job opportunities here, we have rolling hills, we have the beautiful Mississippi River, we have affordable housing, we have the four seasons, we have Excellent Education, and Iowa is one of the safest places to live in the United States. We have tons of farmland, great for retirees, because we have affordable cost of living. Every place is as great as you make it, I guess. Home is always where the heart is ❤💞

Greetings from East Texas! Thinking of y’all with this Heat! We are roasting. My little tomato plants are done for
Send some heat out north east, here in Pa it's 59* as I watch this. It's been a cold June.
I'm do sorry, yes, I'm afraid we are in for another hot drought
Bless you - but Fall will come ❤️
So green and pretty there! We’re at 5,500 feet in Arizona and it’s 100 degrees. Praying for the rains here.
I lived in Arizona and moved to Arkansas. This is easier on me here.
I was born and raised in California, moved here 50 years ago this week. I always loved that it was so green here and now I have a beautiful yard and big garden. I love the beauty of Arkansas
It’s such a beautiful state. We have driven through Arkansas a few times in our travels, but were mainly on the interstate. We did take our daughters, when they were kids, to the Crater of Diamonds state park. They had fun digging for diamonds…..😊
Oh that was fun. The grandkids keep ya young, dont they!? Thanks for sharing a little part of your world!!💞

That is beautiful country living! I think I have only seen the flatland by the interstate while headed home from Missouri. It looks so dry when we drive by… usually I see harvested fields and low rocky land. I can see now we need to get off the interstate and explore. We sold our camper to a man from Arkansas…he was happy and so were we.
Oh yes, go to the hills, and mountains
My husband is from the south . We are retiring in 5 years. Going back south when the time comes. Thank you ms Lori for the beutiful sceanery. So beetiful.
Absolutely beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us.
People not from here may not understand, but it's really a wonderful place to live! When I was young I dreamed of someday leaving, now I wouldn't live anywhere else. Just working toward the day I can buy a little piece of land and do a little homesteading myself.
Prayers, You can do it
You’re exactly right! I moved from Arkansas when my husband was transferred out of state. I can’t wait until I’ll be able to move back. Hopefully, sometime next year.
We are in south Arkansas, husband kids and I have all lived here our whole lives. It's a great gun laws and homeschooling state as well.
I do think the area from hot springs to northern Arkansas near Bentonville, Roger's and Springdale is far more desirable however, and will likely relocate there in future years.

Love the nature shots!! The walk in the woods and rushing water with children playing in the edge was beautiful to see and wonderful to hear. Oh how I wtould love to set with my feet in that water.
I so loved seeing your beautiful state!! I want to visit it someday!! I enjoyed seeing Mr. Brown playing with the grand babies!! And that fancy footwork!!! Love and hugs from Kentucky!!
Arkansas is just goregous! We live in such a very beautiful country. What a fun place to take your grand kids to!❤
BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for sharing! I have family in Rogers, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Until recently, my son and his family lived in Little Rock; he is a mental health therapist and his wife is a pastor.
Mr. Brown dances like my Grandpa, When I was teen, he would watch american bandstand with me and I would dace and sometimes he would get up dance with me. this was 1971.
Beautiful memories
It’s beautiful there like it is here in Kentucky. I love Kentucky and Tennessee. I actually have a step sister that lives in Arkansas but I don’t know where. We’ve lost contact. I’ll be happy to go on a journey of your state with you… Enjoy the calm. We have more rain and storms moving in. God bless. Love you and Mr Brown. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
We’re all neighbors! Tn here. 😉
There's a place called falling water in Arkansas that has a campmeetin from last of June till day after the fourth. Falls, swimming, Church, dirt roads....what a blessing
Even though I was not born there, my mom and dad were both born and raised in North Little Rock. Roots go way, way back. I spent a lot of time there growing up with my grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Going to the curb markets with my grandma and coming back and shelling peas and speckled butter beans. I was her constant shadow and learned to make great biscuits and cobblers in her kitchen. My best memories! Love Arkansas! I'm only a couple hrs away ans sometimes I just need to go "home"
I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for showing us how beautiful and wonderful Arkansas is. 😃

I know it does your heart good to spend time away with Mr Brown and the grands. Tell them your subscribers enjoyed watching them play outside and have fun with y’all. God bless you all.
It is so beautiful where you live!! Oh the waterfalls have a calming & peacefu ltherapy!! I could fall asleep listening to them.
Thank you for coming to our beautiful little town! We bought a house just down the road from this park in 2017….our grands love it!
what a relaxing, peaceful and so beautiful a video Ms. Lori. Wishing I could have joined y'all. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you, Mr. Brown and your family.
I love and miss Arkansas! My parents moved from there to Texas when my brothers were small. My sister and I were born here in Texas, but we spent long summer vacations in Arkansas while we were growing up. Both of my parents’ families lived there for generations in Van Buten County, mostly in the Clinton and Shirley area. When I do get to go back, it feels like I’m coming home. ❤
If you sell milk in Arkansas the customer must come to your place where the animals live. Also you can only sell so much milk a month. I am 50 started our little homestead about 3 years ago. I'm definitely am learning as I go. I really appreciate all y’all’s help getting me through this learning curve.

I was born in Helena in 1960. My Daddy was a sharecropper on a farm on the levee of the Mississippi River in a small town called Elaine were my grandfather run a cotton gin. it is still a dear place to me.

Miss Lori I love your videos, you and Mr Brown. Thanks for reminding me what’s important in life. You are a blessing.
Thanks so much
I traveled through Arkansas trying to get away from a hurricane in Louisiana. Arkansas is beautiful. I wish I would have moved there years ago.
Aw, thanks for taking us along. Avery Jo looks to be the same age as our seven year old grand daughter. It's so fun to see the world through the eyes of a child, especially when outside in nature.
It’s so nice to see those kids enjoying the great outdoors without cell phones. They are living like I did in the 50s and 60s. Most kids today will never know what they’re missing!!
Thank you for the wonderful tour! People must remember though that you can't run awayfrom your problems , they tend to go with you ! Lol.
Reminded me of my childhood in Ohio. Looked like a lot of the places we would camp and the freedom i felt as a child out in nature.
Thank you for the video! My SO is retired military and from 2 different states. We moved all over the place and realized neither home state feels like home right now. We live in SWLA right now but have been visiting AR. We are falling IN LOVE. We want to buy land after we pay down debt and homestead. I'm ticking down the days.
Grand kids will never be too old or too big for Granddaddy to push em on the play ground. And I'm sure Mrs.Lory you were clutching some snacks for all at the end of the day. Love you're adventures stay safe..
I still want to see Arkansas some day. My dad was born and raised there in Hot Springs. While he was in the service during WWII his family moved to CA.
Beautiful country !! My best friend of 30 years moved back to huntsville last year. She is from there and her family is there, but I miss her terribly. You remind me of her. Someday I would love to visit your beautiful state, .
God bless you and your family. Thankyou for sharing your life with us!❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the video today! Everything looks so beautiful around your homestead & the countryside where y’all went with the kids! Love the water & sounds of nature! Be blessed❣️❣️

I knew 2 wonderful families that moved to the northwest corner. They loved it. I only actually made it over there once. It was beautiful! Full of outdoor activities.
I really loved this one so much. The waterfalls are so fun to watch. Grandkids keep us young and they will remember days like this. Thank you for sharing with us.
Enjoyed seeing the children explore. So many children do not know about opportunities like this. Thank you for sharing, allowing me to reflect back on my childhood memories. ❤❤
What a beautiful video, thank you!! When I'm stressed or down, I'm going to watch this. Melaney from SoCal
What a Wonderful Way,, UTMB Health, and yes, I agree with the last lady. This world would be a much better place if everybody lived like you.

Arkansas is beautiful. I have family in Norfork and Mountain Home. It was always so easy to go kayaking or canoeing. Where I live, we have to drive two hours to do something like that.
My brother and his wife are leaving next month to live there. There daughter and husband just moved there. And they LOVE it ❤. I hope someday too as well.
I LOVE your videos and have learned so much from watching them. Just a few weeks ago a very dear friend & I went in together and purchased a homestead in Marshall. We will be moving in the fall. It was an answer to prayer and we are so thankful for His faithfulness to us ... and we're thankful for you and your helpful insights and teachings. Please keep them coming!!
Marshall is a wonderful town, good for you!

I was born in southern Missouri in a town called Thayer Missouri by the Arkansas border. Both my parents were born and raised in Arkansas. I love it there, where you’re at in the hills of Arkansas
Hi Miss Lori and Mr. Brown, I love the state of Arkansas. My Mother and all of her family was born and raised there. Benton, Arkansas is home to us. Take care and God Bless.

I love Arkansas (and southern Missouri). Great-grandma was born in Blue Eye, MO and grampa was born in Mountain Home. He always wanted to retire there but never got to do that.
What a perfect video showing off God's goodness and beauty to us in what He created. I love seeing the grand blessings. What a fun time for you all. It's what we love to do with our grands. We're taking the two oldest to Dinosaur State Park in Glenrose TX next month in our 5th wheel. I'm so excited to get to spend time with them before school starts on August 9th!!! Crazy schedule compared to what we grew up with. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you all. Deb xoxTX

It is so nice to enjoy where you live, and find places that are special to share. We have our favorite trails and lakes nearby that are beautiful and so calming.
Ms. Lori,If I was about 25 years younger,I would try my best to move to your beautiful state. It seems more like the days of old are respected.
My age,poor health and surviving onSocial Security keeps me planted where I am. God Bless you and your family.
Xoxoxo
@trapped7534, as a newcomer to NW AR near Amish neighbors, you are right the old ways really are honored.
Mr Brown loves being a Grandpa and doing things with his grandkids. I know he was a good father and enjoyed being a father. Arkansas a beautiful place. Here in Austin, TX the heat has been just awful. 12Noon and after 99-106F with real feel up to 124F everything is stressed and turing yellow because it's so dry even tho we have had rain. So seeing green Arkansas is a pleasure.
Oh wow, that's very stressful on everything and everybody
Agree. I’m west of Ft Worth and the heat is deadly. My garden is drinking lots of water!
Your grandchildren are beautiful. And so is your homestead. I really appreciate your Channel.
I agree! This Missouri girl lived in Beebe and Vilonia for a couple of years, then moved to Little Rock while I worked at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. I was editor of the River Valley & Ozark edition and the Three Rivers editions. If I didn't have grandbabies here I would probably move down there!
Thank you!!!! The beauty and peace is priceless!!!! God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤
Beautiful video! Boy, that day out at the park w your grandkids reminded me of the old days when I was growing up. Great times. I loved seeing the inside of Mr Brown's old truck! So neat! Have a blessed week!🌻💖🌅🌸

Love Love you sharing a peace of heaven with Mr Brown and Family, God Bless y'all ❤️
What wonderful memories that will make as they get older!Thank you for sharing.🙏🏻🏕
I grew up in ne Arkansas, mostly Wynne and Forrest City. I remember when the state motto was not "The Natural State" but "Land of Opportunity." I have lots of relatives there and the best childhood memories!
Hi we live in the Sierra Foot Hills but I own a farm in Arkansas . You video is making me homesick ❤
Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful and peaceful.
God bless y’all.😊
I lived in Maynard Arkansas in the 60's loved our small farm. Wish I could have that life again
We live about 30 minutes from maynard
I’ve never been to Arkansas…your videos are the only way I’ll ever see it. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Miss Lori I have learned so much from you and Mr Brown. I cannot express to you how much my husband and I love your channel. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing Ms Lori and Mr Brown have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Enjoyed hanging out with you and the kiddos soooooo special. 🙏❤🙏❤🙂
What a wonderful video. I can see why you love Arkansas. It’s a beautiful state. You’re making memories with your beautiful grandchildren. I think Arkansas was meant for you and you and Mr. Brown were meant to be in Arkansas. Is there anything better than hearing the water rushing down a waterfall? This stirred up so many memories of my younger days. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.
Just stunningly beautiful and the peace you couldn't turn away!! Thanks for sharing ❤
I want to visit Arkansas someday. I've been looking into my Great Grandmas family. She raised me and she lived into her 90s. Her family is from Ft Smith. They were the combs family and they had a little store and little cabins, I believe. I have family that has visited (we are in the Pacific Northwest now) Ft. smith and they can't find the original spot the property was. I loved my Grandma. She would eat watermelon with a little salt. Make big batches of greens and eat bowls with hot sauce. She was a kind loving soul. You are very similar and that's a big reason why I watch you. Your voice and accent to me is very calming. I miss her. I am 46 and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to spend so much time with her. Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤❤❤
Grandmas are special
Don't know how I missed this wonderful video but it is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I was born in DeQueen, Arkansas, but o ly lived there a short time as a child. But i have grandparents and great grandparents buried there.

Wow what a fantastic outing with you, Mr. Brown and a couple of grandbabies!!!
That water looks so clean. Love the sounds!
I haven't been to your part of the state. I lived in the Missouri Ozarks and we would spend time in Eureka Springs. Most beautiful place!

@ I have been binge watching your channel for several weeks now. I am glad you had a four year start on me.
Sweet video. I am not familiar with Arkansas at all. So seeing some of it was interesting. I am looking forward to when you take us along for more exploration of your state. Thanks
Arkansas is beautiful. My husband and I went on vacation and didn't leave for 10 months. We would have stayed longer but covid hit and we came back home to family but we loved living in Heber Springs.
Thank you for this video! If I were younger, ( I'm 65), I'd love to move to Arkansas. But I'm disabled, poor, and single. And stuck in CA.. Me and my sweet house bunny! I sure do love your videos tho Miss Lori! 💗🥰 I prepped to live off grid since I was 16. That dream never came to fruition for me. My boyfriend of 7 years ended up getting another girl pregnant and married her. Oh well! Life's not so bad now! I just wish it'd been a different one 💗
Prayers for your health
Absolutely beautiful. My parents had a home in Bull Shoals for quite a few years.

Bless and many prayers that we all have a beautiful and blessed year .
