In this day and time it's a pure pleasaure to watch you both. Your family are just good people. 👏
Thank you so much 😀
I always feel so relaxed and comforted when I watch you two and the girls.
Yep, me too. I like these folks much better than I ever have my own blood relatives. I haven't seen my Sister or her Brother in years and probably won't and I'm fine with that. But Tipper, Matt and the Girls, I would enjoy watching all day...
These Q & A’s with you & Matt are so fun,Tipper! It’s like we get to learn new things about our distant, but much loved relatives! Matt is such a hoot and I love his sense of humor. So many of the humorous things he says, reminds me of my precious daddy. My daddy has gone on to be with Jesus now, but he had the most wonderful, fun-loving personality & he kept his endearing sense of humor until his death…even during his last couple of years, when I know he was suffering…daddy still found a reason to laugh, & to bring laughter to his wife, four daughters, grandchildren & great-grandchildren. My daddy was a good ole’, hard working country boy & he was all about God, his family, his garden, fishing, hunting & all things outdoors. He was a wonderful provider & a wonderful father. Basically, he was an older, balder version of your Matt. Lol. They just don’t make men like them anymore! Thanks for another great video. Mama & I sure enjoyed it. God bless you all.🙏🏻💕
I love the entire family. I can be in the crummiest mood and turn you folks on and in no time at all, I’m doing just fine! Thank you so much for that!!!
Matt and Tipper,
We are the ones blessed by you and your family. Thanks for sharing your skills and lives with us! ❤
You are so kind-thank you 😀
Tipper, I need to find the song from the Galveston Hurricane. My best friend wrote about it for the Daughter's of the Republic of Texas essay contest one year. Ruth's family owned Ashton Villa there in the day. I'll find the song. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the q & a. Love getting to know you and your family better. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
@@amyhamilton2201 Here it is: ruclips.net/video/8Gdz6M2b8ks/видео.html 😀
Loved the Q&A! And just hearing more about your family and Appalachian! Hope it happens soon for Matt to be able to quit his job and be full time for Celebrating Appalachian!!🩷🥰
A 3rd Q&A would be great. I'm several years older than you, and across the country, but still I identify with you. You take me back to how I was raised. I look forward to your videos, I really enjoy you and Matt sitting and talking. Love your sweet girls, and the values you and Matt have instilled in them. Thank you for sharing your family with us, and bringing back the memories I treasure! 😃❤
You put it it well. I agree with what you said. It's just relaxing to watch their family.
Me and my wife both enjoy your channel more than any other we can't wait for the next video. Speaking of my wife. She had heart surgery last week but is doing well. I brought her home this afternoon. Been a rough week for her but she is so glad to be back home. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Praying for a speedy recovery for your wife, friend.
@Roadtaken-fi1cd thank you
I too will say a prayer for your wife.
Praying for your wife and you as well.
My husband has heart failure. I feel for you.
Tipper you were thanking the viewers for watching, but we should all be thanking you and your family. Y'all are so centered and real and genuine. Watching your channel is so calming and reassuring because of the love and closeness y'all have and most of all your faith. If people who are out there searching for peace and joy and love would start to watch y'all, it would change them. It might make them slow down and appreciate the life and blessings they have. I feel like y'all are family.
Y’all are just good people. God bless you both.
You are so kind-thank you 😀
I love these Q&A videos! It’s so fun to learn more about my RUclips family. 😊 I like seeing Matt’s sense of humor come out. 😂 You look so pretty in pink.
Yay! Thank you!
Kindness, thoughtfulness, sharing, helping, giving, always thinking of someone else in need. That's the Pressley family. Thank you for being a loving and caring family. It is truly a blessing to come to your channel and just sit and be quiet and watch and listen to everything you have to share with others. Prayers for Granny and her health. God bless you and yours, Always in Christ name, Amen
Please continue the Q & A sessions. I love them. Not only do I learn more about you all but I think about how I would answer some of the questions and perhaps learn something about myself.😊
This was another fun video being able to learn a little more about you two. Praying for granny and give us an update when you can
You have blessed me too. I started watching Celebrating Appalachia in 2020. I saw your channel on my suggested channels and the title appealed to me immediately because I am also, as you say Tipper, "plum foolish" about Appalachian culture. I am such a fan of your channel, as well as the girls' channel. God bless you all and keep up the great work! You make Appalachia proud! 😀❤
Share part 3 whenever you like or are ready ---we're happily here for it all. Have a blessed day Appalachian friends. Y'all are in our prayers. -much love from NJ ~Mary & fam

ditto... from NJ too
As a new follower, I love learning more about you all. Interesting you mention Tony Rice as a friend told me today I should look for his music. I have no reason to think that I have anyone from my family that ever lived in Appalacia but my heart sure feels a pull to it. And your videos help me to realize it's ok to slow down and just sit a while. Feel like I'm right there sitting with you.❤
How many people learned to drive a tractor before a car?😊
Yes, I was 12 when my dad died and my brother and I had to bail the hay. I drove the tractor and my brother threw the bails down the rows.
✋
😀
Me, a Farmall H.
Me and all my Redneck cousins
Hope Granny is doing well…prayers continuing 💛🙏🏻
We live here in Texas and I have read about the Galveston hurricane of 1900. The nuns tied the little orphans to them to save them, but all were lost but 1 little boy who got caught up in a tree ,very sad.
Tipper and Matt. I love your answering those questions. But mostly, I just wanted to let you know how much you've both added to my life. Thank you.
Bless you! And thank you! We appreciate you so much!!
I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your channel. I have learned so much about my family from watching your channel. See I did a DNA test and I knew my family was from Eastern Kentucky, but until I watched your channel, I didn't know why we ate soupy pinto beans and cornbread, or why my Dad crumbled his cornbread and put his soup beans on top. It's an Appalachian thing. Thank you for keeping the heritage alive
Tipper I’m forever grateful for you and your willingness to share the beauty of home!
My pleasure!
My Dad always told me, "You can do anything you want to do. You just have to want to do it bad enough." This has been my lifeline many times. Thank you for sharing with us. You are such a blessing!
Great wisdom 😀
I could listen to y'all all day and night. Bring it!!
Thanks for the Rice song about the Galveston Flood. I adore Bluegrass!
I just love your channel, Tipper! You remind me of how I was raised. It makes me miss my Grannies, who were both southern ladies to the core. I also love how you leave the camera rolling while you and Matt just talk. It’s so relaxing to watch, especially with so many disturbing things in the news and on TV these days. You take us back to a much simpler time. Always looking forward to a new video. ❤
Great to see Matt coming out front more. Didn’t realize what a great sense of humor he has.
Thank you for sharing your stories. It was so interesting to here how you got this far on RUclips, since I only just started watching your channel this year, I did not know. You are both so soft spoken and nice to listen to. You provide such wonderful content. Thank you
I'm so envious of your life together as a married couple living in the woods and sharing a life together...I always wanted for that!
I love listening to y'all while I'm out working in the gardens. You inspire me to keep going in these 90 and 100 degree days!. I love and appreciate the videos!
I absolutely agree Tipper, the Skaggs & Rice album is wonderful! "Talk About Suffering" is my favorite song off of that album. RIP Tony Rice
The two of you are a natural relaxant to watch and listen to.
God did well when he put you two together. 🙂
Thank you for posting these Q & A videos! I really appreciate being able to vicariously experience southern Appalachia even though I don't get to live there anymore or get to visit much. Getting to see you all in your garden, cooking or preserving food is such a comfort and feels like being with family. Thanks again!
Been watching u all for about 6 months now. U are all great down to earth people. I definitely got some new viewers for u. They all love u too. I live in mid west Ohio, 7 miles from Indiana. Small town, love it here. It's beautiful where u live. Thank for all the entertainment. U guys are awesome, God fearing people.
I really appreciate you all’s family. It is comforting to me. I am absolutely sure most of the reason you all have such a close family is you are close to God.
And you have passed it along to your daughters. I truly loved Corie’s recent tribute to Miss Cindy and how she shared her faith.
That goes back to the closeness of your family ties and your Faith.
Matt and Tipper it is clear that you love each other and your family and even friends. Your love is clearly visible.
I love hearing the wisdom from your parents. That invaluable wisdom carries on, never gets old and is a true treasure to hear. Thank you for sharing.
You all are like my family, so down to earth. Good folks 👍
Thank You for Sharing your life with us! I live here in OntarioCanada! 😊😎🙏🤗😂😃🙁
I love these I call talks, so many enjoy your channel, especially us so-called city folks. I say if you don’t have a garden, you might be city folks. God bless
I wish that y'all were my neighbors!
😀
Tipper, pink looks really beautiful on you!
Oh thank you!
Aa a child I had growing pains. Thank you Matt for helping Corrie through it. I still remember how much it hurt. Love your family.
Favorite memory because I loved my grandpa so much was sitting on the porch with him while he ate his favorite raw hambuger sandwich and he gave me a bite. I have loved raw beef ever since. But I love him more and that memory. I miss him so much.
Please go ahead with part 3, I enjoy hearing your stories and insights! I would be over the moon to see more Matt on the channel if that’s in the plans. Heck strap a GoPro to your boat and take us on a kayak fishing adventure 🎣☀️and call it a days work😊
My momma used to say, “ don’t worry about things that might happen, if it doesn’t than you worried for nothing and if it does happen then you’ll have to worry twice as long.”
Love that 😀
Tipper and Matt, We are thankful for your ideas for gardening. We are both elderly and love raising a garden and your videos have helped us do this easier. We now use cattle panels, a Vego raised bed and grow bags. We would not have done this if not for your informative videos. Green beans, tomatoes ,cucumbers, mustard greens, onions, and potatoes have already been harvested. We look forward to all your videos. God Bless you both.
That is awesome!
❤❤🎉🎉thank you so much for this video!❤
I could watch 50 more of these.❤even though you say you tube blesses you, we the people on the receiving end are the truly blest ones!!! Thank you.
We are having our first sweet corn here in pa. And are picking blueberries 🫐 tomorrow!
THE LORD IS GOOD!
PRAY HE CONTINES TO BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY.😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your Q & A Videos. Keep ‘em coming. I just find your content fascinating. Almost always I’m watching on our big screen TV, so commenting is not possible, but I love watching you all and wish you continued success with your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
I randomly came across your channel a while back and was immediately drawn to the title. My father was from Tennessee and I was very close to his mother until her death at 93. They've both been gone for a decades now and I miss their language, cooking and stories. So, nostalgia made me click on your video and I've been hooked ever since. I've ordered the cookbook for myself and my son. It's a link to my father, who passed long before my children were born.
Grandmother perhaps!!
@@watchinglclowns9890 yes, but wanted to distinguish between my paternal and maternal grandmothers.
I'm so glad you enjoy our videos and that we remind you of good times and family 😀
I definitely would like to see more questions and answers. I have thoroughly enjoyed these. You enrich our lives, you and Matt, with your stories and experiences.
Thank you for sharing your family and life with us. I have been recovering this summer from knee replacements. It is like being outside in the woods, the garden or just sitting in the yard visiting. I so appreciate your family and the old ways and values. In this troubled world its such a comfort to sit a while with you guys and visit. Praying for Granny. God bless you all and God bless America.
Thank you Lisa!! I hope the knees are soon healed 😀
I KNEW I loved y’all but Tony Rice and Ricky Skaggs. YESSS!! I played mandolin, sang and acted a fool in a bluegrass band here in Va Beach/Norfolk Va back in the 80’s. I met both of those men playing at festivals. Tony Rice was a master.
I'm a repeat of all your comments.... We are blessed to have you, Matt and Tipper and your family sharing your life with us. I hope you really understand the impact you have made on so many people. We need more people like you in the world.
Thanks for sharing Tipper. A part 3 of the Q&A would be wonderful.
You are so kind-thank you 😀
Your sweet girls show the best they were taught by their amazing parents
You are so kind-thank you 😀
Love this! So good to escape to something that is authentic. Brings me way back to my childhood ( I'm 66 yrs old/young ) spending time with my mamma and grandaddy. Garden they had and the pen for granddaddy's hunting dogs. When all of the noise of the present moments, it is so good to just watch you two and your daughters doing things.
Tipper, I just love you and Matt…you’re such nice people! I will watch your videos as long as you post them…I love the girls too! So keep ‘em coming…I look forward to each and every one❤ you have a way of making us feel like we really are part of your family!
Thanks so much
Love these question and answer videos. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. May God richly bless you and your family.
I really like these! You're good and interesting people, and I love the way you live. Take care, and God bless!
I really did enjoy part 2 of the Q&A. Thank y’all for sharing so much of your lives with us. Y’all really are like good close friends sitting around just having conversations. I hope and pray God continues to bless y’all so Matt can stay home to help produce more good videos.
I absolutely love these Q &A sessions with you and Matt! Great getting to know you better! Good people with good values…my kind of people! Tipper, like you, I love reading!! Can’t wait till the 3rd session!! God bless and live to you both!! 💕🤗🙏🏻
I enjoyed spending my evening with you and Matt. Thank you so being so genuine and honest. I feel your channel is a youtube treasure, and I pray that God will continue to bless you and yours. Yes, I'd love to hear the third edition. Dinner sounds sounds lovely. Hope you enjoyed it. Peace be with you.
I’m glad you and Matt shared your life lessons. It’s been so hard for so long I forget that there is good too. So thanks to you and Matt for reminding me! Y’all are so helpful, you don’t even know!!!!😢😮😊❤
That is so crazy that I was thinking of a memory when I was young and sitting in a chair, holding my baby sister and I dropped her and she was weeks or months old and then Matt spoke of being dropped.
Matt, you and I are lucky men. Raised girls who respect others and we have lived through it. 😁 good ole common sense, Jesus and healthy honest relationships with neighbors.
im like matt, tomato season in my garden means tomato sandwiches in my kitchen lunches, I love love beef steak tomato sandwiches
thank you both ❤
Growing up in Charlotte, I took drivers ed in summer school. We learned to drive a stick shift on a Volkswagen Beetle. The teacher was a football coach and he made us drive on Independence Blvd and I-85 which was scary for a new driver.
So nice to spend my time shuckin and freezing corn while I visit with y’all. ❤
As an Eastern Kentucky girlie, I was driving a tobacco wagon and tractor by six or seven; I still drive a 6 speed vehicle. No worries about auto theft here!
Thank you for the videos. Feels like a nice visit. You folks are just real people and very relatable. Hope you have a great summer.
Sincerely,
Shannon Duncan
I always loved tobtead n read to the little kids in the neighborhood
I grew up on a farm and started learning to drive around 8 or 10 years old... driving the truck on the dirt road on the property, helping during irrigation with checking pipes.
I don’t live in Appalachia but many of my family do, I agree that the people, culture and the food are the best
Thank you 😀
Your both so well balanced together, God always knows who to match us up with. I love the questions and how generally you both answer them. May God Bless you and your family ❤️🙏❤️
Would love for y’all to continue with the Q&A. It is so relaxing listening to both of you. ❤
Your girls are so blessed!! Matt rubbing Corys legs when she was young made me tear up!! I heard my biological father tell my mom that he didn't want the responsibility of me anymore. I was about 6 or 7!!!! My stepfather was my Daddy!!!!!!!! I miss him so so much!!
We are so privileged to be able to come and be part of your family. Thank you so much for allowing us in, Tipper. Hugs to you and Matt and the girls and Austin; a special hug for Granny, praying for her every day!! 💗 Oh, love hearing the anwers to the questions! Please keep going!! 😊
You are so kind! Thank you 😀
I sure do enjoy the Q and A sessions. You, Matt, and the girls have become like family to me in addition to my own children. I love you all bunches!💞
My favorite part of the videos is when the two of you are just talking to each other.
Valerie in SC
We are here and you are there and we are glad. Thanks . Many times it is like being back in the good days during the 1950's.
Tipper, so glad you told the story about bloody bones! I told you before that my family the Ledfords were from Shooting Creek. That’s one of the things we were always told. Be good or bloody bones will get you! I thought it was just something my grandparents started.
We had a bloody bones in Alabama! Also can still drive a stick although it’s been a long time. You never forget
We love your common sense morals and ethics..
And your recipes!
And your garden and the beautiful scenery!
And you're a wonderful accent!!
Love you both! Love you both!❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
I look forward to your channel. I check everyday and enjoy all that you share. The Q and A is especially interesting. Blessings🙏
If you ever did take a vaction north I would recommend northern michigan it reminds me alot of your area but with 3 really big lakes around especially the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Enjoy all your videos!
Thank you for the video! I admire both of you for your common sense, love of family, work ethic, and love for God. Powerful…
O yeah! Definitely do a next installment of answering questions. I’m fairly new here but I just love what you and your girls are doing on RUclips. It brings such interesting education, humor and I can sense God’s peace and overflow to your fans on here all while listening 😍💖
My dad taught me to drive when I was 15 years and 5 months. It was on an automatic country squire station wagon. I learned to drive a 4 speed from an ex boyfriend . I love school . My job I hated was a box factory. The work was fine, but the boss was evil. I finally got to go to college when I got married. I got my BS in nursing. Loved nursing. Hated that I had to medically retire 2 years ago. My mother was not a disciplinarian, all she had to say was wait till your father gets home.
Thank you for sharing 😀
Wait til your father gets home was punishment enough 😂
You need to make this a once a month video deal or project. Just the two of you sharing life. Really enjoyed these videos. Thanks for sharing.
I love your continued ‘after that show is over’ conversation.
You remind me of Hee Haw when they would ask grandpa Jones whats for dinner. Please answer the rest of the questions, its like listening to my family talk about the past. How I miss those days.
I enjoy your conversations a lot and look forward to your videos
Tony Rice's recording of Church Street Blues is great.
I first saw Tony Rice in 1988. I was fortunate to see him numerous times before he had to quit singing. I loved his voice as well.
I'm almost ashamed to say we had our oldest driving the feed truck as a toddler back in the early 80's while his dad fed hay off the trailer in the back. Cliff would jump off when he had to get turned around, turn the steering wheel, and get Rhian set up to drive back. By the age of 10 he was driving a tractor with a pipe trailer behind! Rhian ended up a John Deere mechanic and is service manager now. I look back and wonder how our boys survived. But all three of them can do just about anything around the house, yard, vehicles, hunting etc...pretty self-sufficient. I, on the other hand, waited till I absolutely had to get my license (18).
I love listen to you both chat. Still reminds me of my mom and dad ❤
Yes, please answer more questions., y’all are so sweet together! How did you meet each other? What is your most favorite meal, dessert? Do you have any pets besides the hens?
Every boy needs to experience swinging on a grapevine . Love watching all your videos .
Hi Tipper and Matt, I was like Matt. Daddy put me on the tractor when I was 3 and he would walk beside the tractor, he could reach the brakes. Lol. But the truck; I was about 10. I would drive in the pasture, then we would go to the country and those dirt roads. Y'all have brought back the memories. Hugs to y'all.
I enjoy this very much I look forward every day for a new video I have got my brother and my sister watching you now
A tractor...no, that would have been fun! My Mom gave me good pointers and helped me get my first vehicle, a 1956 Pontiac (stick shift) with the huge chrome bumpers! 😊
You two are so fun to watch!😊
Yes do another Q&A! Love it!!
