    Ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!
    I’m 60 years old . I’m a Lumbee Indian from Pembroke N. C.
    My daddy had a truck just like that when I was a little girl. But it didn’t have the wooden rails .
    My daddy passed away in 2016. A few days before his 83rd birthday. My husband passed away 2019. I’m depressed but seeing this truck made my day. Thank you for sharing.

    @nancychestnut8928 2 года назад

    A small town parade is the best because you know everyone participating! The church looks beautiful. I could watch your videos all day. In fact, I think I have on several occasions. I have the same silver bowl with the red ornaments. It's in my "donate" box but its coming out and will be filled with vintage Shiny Brites. You're really on to something with your videos. Thank you for your hard work.

    OH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOVE the truck!!! 😊😊
    I can’t believe the Reed & Barton bowl price, my jaw headed southward when I saw price!!!!! How WONDERFUL! As always I find so many ideas when watching the latest video. LOVE the arrangements. Also, I have the largest glass flower frog myself. As I watched you continue to unwrap so many I truly was flabbergasted. They are a great addition to any collection of items used in making arrangements. This was a GREAT video, LOVED the parade, thank you both for taking us along to a typical small town New England Christmas parade-it was FUN 🤩 !!

    Oh that truck is gorgeous! I have always wanted one of these old trucks!! My dad collected old cars and would drag me to the Iola Car Show every year as a kid. I hated it then, but ended up growing such an appreciation for old cars now! It is my dream to have one of these old trucks or a Wagoneer!

    I really liked the greenery arrangement you made. I liked watching the Christmas table scape and parade even though its June and tomorrow we are celebrating fathers day. I ❤ Ben's truck. Love the color.. I want an old pick up truck for yard art. We have been looking. It doesn't need an engine, seats and it can be a rust bucket. My husband wants to clear coat over the rust, put solar or electric lights in the headlights and I will do the decorating. We use to own our own classic body shop, so this would be a fun project!

    Linda just loved seeing your table settings and greens arrangements. What a wonderful thing to be living in a quaint village. The wholesome gathering in the town and the parade just warms my heart. I love love love Ben’s truck. I’m a car buff so I really appreciate it. How about naming it Nathaniel? Call him Nate😂 for short. Thank you so much for the video. Cant wait for the big Christmas tour reveal.

    One of the things I love watching is how much you and your husband are such a great fit. I have been a realtor and home builder my whole life and the way you two came together on moving and finding a new home is pretty rare. I always felt more like a marriage therapist than a realtor or builder. Way to go setting a great example on marriage among other things ❤🙏

    LOL !!! I had to skip ahead to see what the new addition to your family was! I hoped for another dog, oh well, I'm sure Ben will love his pretty old truck !! LOL !! " Tin Lizzy" LOL !! When I was a small child , our 4-H club built a free wheeling Ford Model T, it was powered down the parade route by 2 high school boys pushing underneath. Well, the rest of our club walked behind singing " I'm a little piece of tin, nobody knows what I might have been, I've got four wheels and a running board, I'm a Ford, oh I'm a Ford. " I do love the color of his truck !! Merry Christmas, Linda & Ben !!! ps: Yes, I love the candle lights that I purchased from your Amazon connection! They are so lovely and come on each evening with the timer setting for 6 hours . Thank You for that recommendation.

    OMG Linda , l went to camp on Lake Fairlee, in Ely VT in the 1960s, and the camp had several green trucks just like Ben’s to transport small groups of campers .( l am pretty sure l still have photos )
    I remember going to church in one . You could walk to church , ( one that looked like the meeting house you showed ) paddle “war canoes “ or take a green truck .
    The older l get the more l treasure my youth in VT and NH.

    I have dozens of LED candles in my house. I use rechargeable batteries in them. I don't have to keep buying batteries, which are expensive, and I don't fill the landfills with expended batteries. Win/win. There are also rechargeable candles now, where you actually plug them into a recharger. I just got a dozen tea lights that recharge, and love them. Happy Holidays.

    Linda, I have been busy today doing wreaths and a mantle garland, using greenery from my garden.
    Thank you so much for your videos which have encouraged me to get ready for Christmas. Our family in England will not be with us this year, due to the Covid Omicron variant outbreak, so I needed to get over the disappointment. Thank you Linda for inspiring me!!
    I was thrilled to see your soup bowls on the first place setting. They are Spode’ Pink Camilla’. I have gradually been collecting this for some time now and I use it every Christmas!

    Your settings were lovely as usual but that truck - that truck is a beauty and the exact one on my wish list except I want the dark wood rails and flooring on the back. Oh my! What an absolute beauty. Saw two today around town in beginning stages of remakes. My heart could barely stand it. Then you showed Ben's truck and I went wild. My hubby thinks I am crazy. As to a name, well, one would need a ride in it, to love it, pet it, and just sit in it would they not? :)
