It all jumped out at me. My family, both sides were from Southeastern Kentucky. I would like to have spent a whole year there, instead of visiting often. One of the most significant sorrows of my life has been that my parents chose to leave the mountains and seek a living in the city. A sign of those times after WWII, and should I have been in their place, I may have done the same. But as Sidney Saylor Farr and yourself, Tipper, express that history and experiences, and a way of life of those that have gone before you, hold much wisdom, fortitude, honor, sadness and humor. Making a life and living for the most part off the land was hard work, to say the least, but rewarding, fruitful and as natural as the mountains that surrounded you. It is my greatest joy that I got to know all of my grandparents and as more than family, as people. Each had a unique start and yet a commonality that ran through all the people, neighbors and friends. They shared stories of their own parents and their grandparents and before. It has all painted a vivid picture for me and something I treasure, my rock to stand upon. So, I share your sentiments about this book, "My Appalachia a Memoir" and I will enjoy listening to you read it. I love where you are sitting here, such a wonderful backdrop. ❣
Very beautiful comment
@@EuleneWages4644 Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it Sondra! Thank you for the comment 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Tipper, I can tell that this is going to be another great book. I’m just now listening to you read because my internet has been down. I enjoyed this chapter. Thank you! I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
I was adopted in Asheville, but recently found out my biological family was from middle Tennessee. Why is it our soul misses these mountains! I love hearing these stories 😊
This is going to be a great book. What a great storyteller she is and, as always, you read the words so beautifully. Thanks for continuing to share with us! Jane in SC ❤️ 🙏
I live 19 miles east of the Cumberland Gap,in Lee CO,VA
You are so welcome!
This reminds me of my mama getting me and my 3 sisters to sit on the big bed in one of the bedrooms and telling us stories of our relatives on lookout mountain when she was a little girl. All of us loved listening to the stories. Some were sad but, most of them would have us laughing so hard and talking about them all week and we couldn’t wait til the next Saturday came around. I sure miss those days.
When you read the part about the little girl falling through a hole in the barn’s floor into a hog pen, my eyes bugged out! That exact same thing happened to my sister and I. Back in the early 50’s, our grandparents had a farm in north central Illinois outside of the small town of Seneca where we lived with them at the time. My sister was just a toddler and it had to have been in the late fall because I remember the thick wool pants and jacket she was wearing. I somehow got her up into the hay mow to look for eggs some free range chickens would lay there. I held her hand as we moved about. Suddenly, she fell through a hole in the floor and into the hog pen below. I raced down and kicked the hogs away and grabbed her up and carried her back to the farmhouse. I thought I was a hero for rescuing my little sister. My folks and grandparents didn’t see it that way though. Thinking back, that heavy wool outfit probably kept her from being injured. I’m now 75 and my sister is 70 and has no recollection of it ever happening which is probably a good thing. Thank you for these book readings, I’ve enjoyed the previous ones and I already know I am going to enjoy this one.
Well I think you were quite heroic! Great story!
So far I love this book! I am partial to the books about women's lives. They are so descriptive about their lives that you feel yourself engulfed their life and you visualize it! Thanks so much Tipper!
OMG 🤗 !!!!! I’m in tears.
I may have been born and raised in the Chicago area but you are reading about my people. You could just as easily have been reading about my dad’s childhood.
After he got out of the service he moved to Chicago for work as a family friend was established here and had a job for him. Interestingly it was in Chicago that he met my mom who was also from the same area of KY.
Growing up I spent nearly as much time in the KY hills and hollers as in the north. At about 4 years old I was left with my grandpa for a couple of weeks while my parents went to an out of town wedding. When they got back mom decided it was time to get back to the city as I had developed a noticeable southern accent. I still slip right back into it whenever I’m in KY for more than a week.
I’m so excited to hear these stories. Thank you so much for sharing them.
I can already tell this book is going to get close,to my heart. My Granny and my great Aunt Etta were the storytellers on my mother's side of the family and my Gramma on my Daddy's side. Each had their own style of tellin'. I loved them all! I had no brothers or sisters so I grew up learning older generation stories, but life is life. Thank you for reading this Tipper. You have truly spoiled me.
The strength of these women in Appalachia is amazing
Sounds like it's going to be another great book. Thank you Tipper. I look forward to Friday readings.
My favorite books are autobiographies so this will be another delightful book for me. Her dealing with her daddy sure made me sad. I suppose it made her stronger in the end. Her mother was very compassionate to have him looked after. It makes me wonder if I would have done the same.
todays society has lost this magical practice of handing down stories of past relatives. It is the thing I miss most about my family. They are all gone now, how I wish I could spend one day listening and learning from them again. Thank you.
I have to say that Fridays have turned into my baking day. I put your book on while I bake. Be blessed.
This storey is so dear dear to me as it reminds me of growing up on my grama's farm in northern Indiana. One of her favorite sayings was: If wishes was horses, beggers could ride. Thanks for sharing this wonderful book 📚..
I think the thing I notice most about these people are the way they are confident in their own selves. So many young people today seem completely dependent upon parents and are just afraid to try new things. I can't help but believe they didn't go outside or play the way that makes you get ideas, work them out, and then be proud of yourself. I'm so glad my kids were raised on a little farm where they had chores that really meant something and they learned to take care of themselves. Maybe I'm thinking they are more independent that kids are today and they don't fall for just anything someone says as truth without thinking about it first. I think I'm going to like this book as well as the others. Thanks for reading and especially for the part about the acorns - real great lesson!
Have you ever noticed that our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were great story tellers. My best memories are of visiting my granny and papaw, all my uncles gathering around out on the porch, and listening to all the stories they told. My granny had good stories too. My favorite is the one she told about a woman who married a mean man who beat her. The woman’s sisters tied him to a bed with bed sheets and about beat him to death with broom handles and belts. My granny says the lord moves in mysterious ways and that man got killed later in a logging accident.
I had a good laugh at this!!
What a wonderful book, being a Kentuckian I really appreciate it. Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m liking this book already! It’s interesting to hear about how things were when our elders grew up..brings back memories of listening to my granny😊
This book reminds me so much of my mama. She was born in January 1925 and was an avid storyteller until a few years ago when she lost her hearing and so lost her interest in storytelling. My brother was a big time coon hunter in southern Oklahoma where we grew up. I still love to hear those old hound dogs bay even though I lost my sweet brother in 2007. We grew up poor but didn’t know it as everyone else was in the same boat as us. Gardening and canning as well as hog killing was a way of feeding our family of nine children. I thank God that I had the opportunity to learn so much about preparing and self reliance because today I still rely on gardening and canning as well as freezing food for winter. I wish I had more family who hunted because I love deer. I do raise quail which I freeze along with chicken. You have the perfect voice for this story and I love following you and Matt in your Appalachian homestead.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoy our videos 😀
Seems to me this is the beginning of a new "friendship" for all of us!Thank you MsTipper.
The story teller in my family was my Daddy’s Papa, Grandpa Waggoner. He was very adventurous as a young man, and he told many stories that kept me spellbound as a child. I was a late-in-life child and my parents moved us from Southern California to Northern when I was 2 and a half. So I was raised as an “only” child, because I was a baby and the other two were grown. My parents were very busy on the farm, morning til night. So I spent a lot of hours with my grandpa in his little trailer listening to his stories.
I took up story telling, at first to entertain myself, and later in life to entertain others. My older sister-a teacher-encouraged me to write the stories down. But I haven’t. Now I spend time with a friend who is 96, who tells me she loves listening to my stories, she says the same thing: you should write your stories down.
I always loved listening to my Grandparent's stories. I understand about staying in the mountains and not wanting to leave. I have always said, I'd rather live poor in the mountains than be rich anywhere else. I enjoyed this first chapter and I thank you for sharing.
Love this ! Another great book ! Alot of the things remind me of my life in the mountains of western north Carolina. I can relate to the coon dogs and coon hunting. My uncles were coon hunters . Growing up in a holler in watauga county, we were many years behind everyone else it seemed . We were still living and doing things the "old timey" way when I was growing up in the 70s. We would visit relatives in towns and cities down east ,and they were years ahead of us , very modern in their living and ways ...i agree with you tipper , there is no other place I'd rather be than here in the mountains of western north Carolina...Even in the face of tragedy, the elders definitely just soldiers on , I saw this in my own family...Thanks tipper...appreciate you always...God bless...🙏❤
My favorite parts are the elders like the grandmother giving advice and the "druthers"
I love the stories about this area! I wish I had an elderly friend that would tell stories. That's history for ya!!!
This area of the country is very rich in history. I'd never heard of anything like it!
I’m so excited for this book. I have my Appalachian side, which is my Dad’s family. Then I have my Mom’s side which is city folk. But, both sides were poor and struggled. My Appalachian Grandmother took me to Jesus when I was very small. My city Grandmother loved and nurtured me, sang songs, told me stories and comforted me. My Dad was pure strength and lived to provide for us because he had been so poor. My Mom followed in her Irish Father’s drinking and fighting ways. She was the one who retrieved him from the bars. I was the one who sheltered my siblings from her angry drinking bouts. These are the things that form us. I love Jesus, I nurture and adore my current family, and I don’t drink. I love my passed (as in died) family and all their stories. I hear so many of our themes in the stories you read to us, and I thank you again for sharing so much with us. ❤
Glad you enjoyed this first part! Thank you for sharing your story 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia ❤️
This book is going to be wonderful. Here again I can't wait till next Friday! You read so eloquently.
The oak tree and the acorn analogy really stood out to me. Looking forward to getting to know Sidney.
Thank you Tipper!
Really Enjoying this Book of Sydney Salyor Farr ‘s Life! Thank You for Sharing the Reading of this Book 📕 Ms. Tipper! You & Your Family have A Blessed Day! ❤️🍁🍁🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏😇
I've gone through you reading of this book. The other night my husband was fed up with listening to the news and the typical "all-the-same-type-movies on a certain popular channel.
He heard me listening to your reading on my phone. He asked if he could hear the story too. So I set up our Roku channel to RUclips and I played the story of the Christmas Barn. He loved it so much that he asked if you had any more stories. I told him yes. I played John Parris's book you've read and now we've started listening together Sidney Saylor Farr's book you are reading. Now he is a fan of yours. Thank you for reading to two old people. ❤️
Thank you for sharing that! So glad you both enjoy my reading 😀
❤ Looking forward to each weekly reading! Thanks so much!
Oh I am going to love this book!
There's no place in the world that I'd rather spend a year than in wild, wonderful West Virginia.
This is so lovely I just about cried. I was lucky to spend a lot of time with my grandma when I was little, and she would tell me lots of stories about her upbringing and her life.
I’m listening From beginning to end now. I’m doing this while I am sewing curtains for our bedroom. I live south of Berea by about 24 miles and I really enjoy learning about Appalachia through your channel and your readings. I’m very blessed to be able to look out my window and see what I see, it’s stunning!
When you're happy where you're at you don't long for other places ... I feel that... home is my vacation Home is where joy and peace sit side by side and the cool mountain breezes make living easy. Great reading I truly enjoy listening to ya! ❤
i haven’t listened to many of your readings. after this one, maybe i should go back! what a powerful chapter. the sort of mikey just about made me cry, that in itself is unheard of. My uncle wrote a book of my grandfather, i’ll have to look for it, i’m sure you would love it.
I enjoyed about the oak tree,...at how the acorns were all ready to be a big oak......I never thought about the acorns like that before......can't wait for next Friday,......and
Miss Tipper,....I really love watching you and your family,.....thank you for sharing your talent of gardening,...and cooking,.....this sure is a treat for me,.... May our Lord richly bless your RUclips channel,.....we need this kind of education......Blessings....
Can’t wait to hear this!!!
😀 Hope you enjoy it!
My mother in laws mom died when she was very young she had four brothers .
Esther would stay with neighbors and work for them she was a tough woman .
I guess she had to be having four brothers. I wish I was good with words
Her life would make a good book as well as my parents too.
Tipper this sounds like another good book I'm looking forward to next Friday.
God bless have a great weekend .
Tipper's book club is appointment viewing for mom n me. She is 97 in a few days, and perked right up when she heard Berea. She almost went to school there, but she went to Knoxville and the University of Tennessee instead. Her parents moved to Knoxville too. No dorm life for mom 😊Govt jobs during WW2 were crazy well paid, and people traveled to work.
So glad she enjoyed it!!
Very interesting to me. I love hearing about life from earlier times, especially when it is lived in primitive conditions. I don't live in Appalachia but I have strong interest in hearing these stories. I look forward to continued readings.
Sidney was a good friend of mine in the 1980's. A few friends met at her house one night a week.
I also met Tom Sawyer at her house and was there twice for all day meetings with Tom and several other interested people.
After these meetings I told Sidney that she would write a book about Tom.
She seemed surprised.
I bought her old non running Chevy and had it hauled to Tennessee to fix and give to my daughter heather.
Sidney was a great lady.
I enjoyed your video from Leyte island, Philippines
That is so wonderful! I would love to have met her 😀
Great beginning. Sounds like it's going to be a really good book. Readings like this bring back so many memories of my family members who have long passed on. The stories I sat and listened to as a child which were later passed on to my children always provide me comfort during the trying times of life. My father told me once when I was a young teenager and was going through a tough spot, to always remember that your ancestors are watching you, watching how you will respond to this time of trial. Looking forward to more of the book. Jerry (Mississippi).
This story is so familiar to me and how I was raised in Clay County of SE KY. I thoroughly enjoyed it🥰
The spice wood makes the groundhog. Mom also rubbed it with salt, pepper, sage, thyme, parsley and sometimes fennel seed. . Mom parboiled the meat with spices in a Muslim bag. Then she mixed the spices with lard and coated the meat with it and put asparagus and sweet potatoes around it. Omg AMAZING.
I already started tearin up then you said it and I cried more lol. Great book thanks Tipper.
Couldn’t have come at a better time! With hardships on the horizon this reminds us of what we come from, what made our kinfolk strong, how they never lost faith, hope or humor in their lives. We lost a lot of sage and wisdom when they passed on but their stories and words left behind are just as powerful. Thank you for bringing them to life today! In a way I think they lived more fully than we do today. Perhaps a rekindling of human relationships, reliance will prove to be gain rather than loss if comforts and easy access we’ve grown accustomed to become unavailable. I was absolutely enthralled. Loved how you read it and the time limit you chose. Can’t wait to tune in for the rest! God bless you all from South Carolina! ❤
It’s sounding like another interesting life lesson book. Thank you for sharing!
I love the first person narration.
Thank you Lisa 😀
I've seen many beautiful places in my 66 years, nothing compares to Western North Carolina mountains in my mind. Closes thing to heaven in my opinion.
I just recently bought and started reading this book. I live in Ohio, but I was born and raised in southeastern Kentucky. I also own the More Than Moonshine book. My mom has passed, but she bought me the More Than Moonshine book many years ago. She told me that Sidney Saylor Farr is a relative. I don’t remember how she is related to me. I wish I had paid more attention. I’m looking forward to your next reading.
Really enjoyed this reading and certainly looking forward to more Friday's hearing the rest of the book. I was born in Knox county Kentucky ... the next county to the west of Bell county. One of my favorite places on this earth! God bless.
Tipper, I discovered your wonderful channel a few months ago and have been enjoying catching up on all your videos (as well as reading your book!) but I have to say that the book readings have been just what I need lately. My mother died several weeks ago and listening to you read these fascinating memoirs (I finished Common Folks and am all caught up with Watermelon Hill) has been such a lovely respite for me. I sit down with my knitting or crocheting and listen to you read the stories and tell your own, and it's so comforting. Thank you for sharing these books, and yourself and your family and your rich culture, with the world.
So glad you enjoy them! I’m so sorry you lost her.
Thank you for reading. ❤️
You are so welcome 😀
Thank you for sharing this lovely book.
I really enjoyed our last book and it looks like this is going to be another good book. Thanks Tipper, it very nice for you take the time to read to us! It really brings it to life.
This books starts well. I believe I share a Scott-Irish heritage with her. I await the following chapters. 👏
I love the name Sidney. I first came across it many years ago when I stumbled on a book by Betty Macdonald, which I have read many times over the years, along with two others she wrote. The next Sidney that crossed my path was a wonderful, old Polish lady, who came to the pharmacy where I worked for 25 years. She would love to have a few minutes chatting to me and I found out her and her husband had been Polish resistance fighters during WW2. What a lifetime of memories. I am really looking forward to this book. Thank you Tipper.
That's a great story. Love to hear you read.
I love stories. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t relate to anything in this memoir (or even to Alex’s) but there is something that just pulls at my heart. It’s an old familiarity that I never knew but always wanted I think.
Great book choice Tipper. It was sad about her Dad getting drunk and her having to take care of him though. Her Grandmother was something else. She was honest about her history, which I find respectable. I'll be listening every Friday for sure. Thank you Tipper
Loved the beginning of this book it sounds great looking forward to the rest thank you Tipper God bless
I hope this is a thick book, Tipper. My favorite part is....all of it! Thank you so much. The holidays upon us and I bet I'm not the only lonely one.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you for reading Tipper. I love that her mother could grow anything.
I'm so glad we are back to a woman's writings. I love her style. I love your voice and your passion for Appalachia.
👏👏🖼️👏This is an author who tells, and crafts, picture forming words together;. I'm drawn in, enthusiastically, to her life already!
So far, I'm liking this book, too.👍
My mom was born in southeastern Kentucky in 1932 the stories she told.I wish I'd heard more now.I loved how the author listened to her elders.i also grewup coon hunting.loved it.🍁thanks Tipper.🍁🍂
Glad you enjoyed this first part Eulene 😀
I love this series. I take my dog on a one-hour walk every morning and I have my iphone in my breast pocket with your audio book playing about Sidney Saylor Farr....it is so interesting and my walk is much more pleasant; goes by fast!! Thank you for this wonderful series.
This is another good book. Thank you tipper.
I love this story!! I watched the second reading first last evening and now this morning watching the first. I love your voice and your sharing with us. God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤
Thank you Tipper.
Very endearing! And so interesting! Made me tear up a little too! Thanks Tipper!
I'm really looking forward to hearing this book. Sounds like it's going to be a bit familiar to a lot of us. I remember my mama telling stories of her dad having the girls work in the garden & fields just like the boys. I remember her saying daddy came courting one evening & she hadn't finished her chores, and he just rolled up his sleeves and pitched in to help her. She & an aunt would walk a ways up a hill from the holler they lived in to go to a little church on Sunday evenings. One evening as they were walking back home she said they saw a bear & it rared up on its hind legs! She said she knew they were in trouble then! She said her & her aunt took off running as fast as they could, had to get over a couple fences but made it in the door of mama's house just as the bear made it to the door. She said somehow her mama was able to shoo it away but said she nor her aunt were able to sleep that night! I loved hearing her & daddy tell stories of their younger years. I miss them so much. I'm so glad you're reading another good book! Had an appt Thurs, 27th, with my pain management dr only to find out there is nothing that can be done for the excruciating pain from my crushed tailbone from all the falls I endured in 2016. He did order me pain med to take when it's real bad if my insurance approves it. He also started me on a trial of medicine for my severe progressive fibromyalgia to see if I can get any relief from the horrible muscle pain I have 24/7. I ended up crying during my whole appt but that morning my hubby had to practically dress me, wash my hair over the tub, put my shoes on & everything. I had done nothing but cry for the past 2 weeks dealing with pain. I was so humiliated & embarrassed but my hubby & dr were very sweet & understanding. I have prayed so hard for God to help me just a little & in my heart I know He is. But the depression gets so bad I end up staying in bed mostly because it is so painful to even try to get to the bathroom. I haven't been able to do my Bible reading or Scripture Writing in over a week and that makes me feel unworthy to ask God for anything. You'd think at 64 I'd know better, but when you're constantly in pain it changes your thinking. I've been dealing with this since I was 38 but since I fell so much in 2016, had endometrial cancer in 2017, then basal cell carcinoma on my scalp in 2019, spinal stenosis & trimming of a disc in July this year, everything else has progressively worsened. Sorry to be so long in this comment, but I know y'all are a praying & believing family. I'm not able to go to church but I have my Bible & do listen to services online. I would appreciate y'all, and any other prayer warriors, to please keep me in prayer. Thank you, Tipper, for blessing us with your channel & the girls for blessing us with their's. I pray God's blessings over y'all always! Hugs from VA! 🙏📖🕯⚘💗🌾🍂🍁
Debbie-thank you for sharing the family stories! I'm so so sorry you have to endure the pain. You are a strong person-I would have likely long since give up. I do pray for you and will continue to pray for God to lessen your pain!! My heart is with you Debbie!!
Heavenly Father, we lift up Debbie to You and ask for what she is asking for. Give her mercy, grace, less pain in her body, strength in You and strength to get through this season of her life. Give her the capacity to remember Your Word when the pain gets to be too much and allow her to be able to take care of herself in the things we all need to do. I ask that You would work through her in a mighty way that would draw others to You. I ask for a hedge of protection over her and her husband. In Jesus' holy Name. Amen.
Debbie, sharing your trials really touched my heart.m tonight. I share some of the same ails and I immediately felt compassion and empathy for your suffering. I’m praying for you now and want you to know that your important to God, your not forgotten by Him. I hope you receive comfort and pain relief soon. God Bless you!

I like this book! My family was much more like these people than the others. My granny would stake the babies gown tails to the blanket so they wouldn't get away while she and the others worked in the fields. Thanks Tipper, keep it coming.
I grew up in Stoney Fork, in Bell County. All these things are very familiar to me and some of the names. My aunt was bit by a snake in their church and passed away. I attended that church a couple of times with my cousin but sat by the back door. I grew up in the Methodist Church at Stoney Fork. I had friends and family that believed in snake handling.
My mom used to make us take a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil every day. She put sugar on the spoon too but it didn’t help. I cried every time I had to take it. I’ll never forget that.
I'm a little behind in listening. I love how all the neighbors shared food with each other, just a natural thing to do.
You are great orator, I really enjoy listening to you read. Keep up the good work. Love it
Wonderful story...I somehow missed this first chapter...my mom's family is from southeast Kentucky and I spent a lot of time running around the woods with cousins.
Thanks Tipper 🤗❤️
I too love where I live, it has my heart and where my ashes will be scattered. Names interest me , my daughter Eden has a neighbor who named their daughter Rose of Sharon which I always thought was so beautiful. Love your videos, I am so glad I found them.
Love that! Glad you enjoy our videos 😀
I enjoyed your reading very much, and your commentary.
A breath of fresh air. Thank you for what you're doing.
"... they all soldiered on" ❤️
The first chapter reminded me of my granny and I wisht'd that I learned more from her. I used to be a decent writer but haven't written a stitch of count for years. Granny went to her reward last year at 99.
It's never too late to write 😀 Your Granny sounds wonderful! I'm glad you had her so long 😀
Fantastic enjoying the new series Tipper have a day love from TEXAS
When I would go into bookstores in various areas of the country, the section I always went to was the 'local interest' section. There are a lot of great books that never had much exposure, and even people who would like it never knew about it. I have some novels by Don Wright of Gallatin, TN which are some of the best novels I have read. Never saw them for sale in a bookstore. It was only through Muzzleloader Magazine that I learned about them, and mail ordered them.
One of my favorite cookbooks is by Ronni Lundy - Shuck Beans, Stack Cakes, and Honest Fried Chicken.
Also love some published by The Ozarks Mountaineer - The Pioneer Cookbook, and Ozarks Cookery,
and Old Time Recipes for Modern Day Cooks by Jewell Kirby Fitzhugh of Mablevale, AR.
These last books were just little books printed on folded paper and stapled at the spine. Mostly sold in tourist and souvineer shops and restaurants. Most were priced at just $1.50 to $2, but a treasure trove of old time cookin'.
Sounds like you are beginning another good book!
Thank you Daniel! I have several of Ronni's books and love them all 😀
Excellent story telling. Thank you Tipper!
Tipper I bought More than Moonshine & have been looking at this book on Amazon.
Now. I'm enjoying listening to you read it.
Wow, what a great chapter! I can't wait for your next reading.
While searching down for this video on my phone, I realized that I've watched so, so many of your video's, but I watch my RUclips on my TV. I've gotta connect the two so I can catch way up on my like's and comment's.
You just simply amaze me with the true love for your people & your land & culture! You have honestly got a beautiful life & it's wonderful because you can see the beauty of life, appreciate it, share your life & enjoy it all!! It's a Blessing to have you & your Entire Family in my life!
Thank you!!
I love all of you!
Thank you so much Lisa 😀
Thank you.
About the father. In those days women were more forgiving than today. They were God fearing and if they didn't forgive that husband might leave; and then what would have become of her and those little ones? I honestly can't say which time was better. We all knew what was expected of us then. Now? Not so much. Love the book and appreciate your reading so much
Thanks Tipper looking forward to the next reading.
I love your reading. Reminds me of grade school where my teachers read to us after we had finished our work for the day. I'm a reader. too. When I'm not on this computer. Keep on reading to us, Tipper.

Oh Tipper I could listen to you forever! I really enjoyed this reading. Thank you so much! 💓
Another great book to entertain me while I work! I think I told you but I listen to these because I can't feel sorry for myself when I think of how hard they all had to work! 😂 In all seriousness, they really do motivate me to keep moving and be so thankful for every day that I live in luxury compared to Alex, Dorie and now this book too. Anyway, thank you for doing it again!
So glad you enjoy the books!
Oh, this is going to be a great book!❤
Loved this first chapter. It is going to be an awesome book. Having to go get her dad made me think of a story about my dad, when I was a very young girl...he was a heavy drinker then and came home one night very drunk...mom woke us kids up to help her get him down the hallway to their bedroom...for me that was a horrible experience. Also there was a time when I tried to get my mom come and live with me. She would have nothing to do with that idea. She was content to be living in the islands where she was born and raised and lived her whole life.

It all jumped on out to me Tipper I am lonely for Lipsett Lake where I went fishing a lot !!! I have quilted also but in this time I have given birth to 3 children 1 is gone forever !!! My First Born remembers how I would skin squirrels and rabbits for meat when hamburger was 99 cents a lb. !!! Thought that was expensive at that time !!! Had the husband and 2 children with the pneumia all at the same time !!! To go through things like this was something else!!! It does make you stronger in the end for those times !!!
Thank you for sharing Linda!! I appreciate you!
