Miss Tipper, can you please tell Granny we are praying for her, and if she ever wants to take another helicopter ride she doesn’t have to be sick. We can Pitchin and get her a helicopter ride. I hope that makes her smile.😅
My Mama who is 84 now always says, “God knows how to water a garden.” I love that saying and it’s so true. They say all the nutrients that have gathered in the clouds get heavy and rain down when it rains and fertilize all of Gods creation. He is truly a Master Artist and Gardener.
Love to you Tipper I know how heavy your heart is for your precious mama I’m praying for you and her and Paul and Steve. When you visit her next give her my love and a big hug 🙏🙏♥️♥️
Tipper is a wonderful name for such a wonderful person .Matt is a lucky man .I hope granny is doing better I miss her alot and I'm praying for her so she can get better .thanks tipper .
Mary Jane is a fine name, but to me you will always be Tipper! We would say “even a blind squirrel can find an acorn.” As always, Prayers for Granny and your family.🌸🙏
My Daddy was the same as your Dad. He would never call someone by their given name. Child or adult. He would visit with them and then say, I'm gonna call you-------then he'd pick a name. I thought it was fun to watch and see what name he'd come up with. They would always fit somehow. When my youngest son was 2 or 3 my Dad passed away. Dad called Paul my son, Little Buddy. Daddy had a stroke and also had dementia. We were nursing him at home. He went back and forth remembering people, but up until the day he passed he always, always remembered his Little Buddy. When Paul wandered into his room, Pap (my Dad) would smile and say "there's my little Buddy". I loved that. And yes all 7 of us siblings had several nicknames he had given us, and I cherish the memories of them. God bless you and yours. Praying for all of you.
Tipper, you and your family are so often on my mind these last few days. So worried for Granny. Sending prayers for her and all of you!!!! I called my mother "Granny" too....because my children did.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I like the name Tipper .I think it’s very fitting for you.I love your beautiful hair.❤You have a precious family .My husband n I have been married 65 years.We feel so blessed.
Hope you all are holding up under this new health crisis. Remember to make time to rest and sleep. I didn't do this when Mom had her health crisis 2 years ago. I have never regained what I lost.
My name is Mary, in 7th grade there were 9 Mary’s in my home room, so I became Mary Lou to differentiate. I never had a nickname until Girl Scout camp, they started calling me Teach, because I wear glasses and the pair I wore then slipped down to the tip of my nose like the caricature of a little old school marm. Granny & you all are in my prayers
Tipper I would love to have a tee with the blind pig and the acorn in some fashion of celebrating Appalachia. I would be so proud to wear it. I love you and your family and look forward to all your content. I'm praying for Granny and the Drs who are looking after her. God bless you and your family.
Hi Tipper! I love your name..My dearest nickname is Lindy lou, which my Mom always called me..Always makes me smile inside..My real names is Melinda..Continued prayers for sweet Granny and you all..❤❤
My lovely mama when I was kid she called me sisie and than she quit calling me that let granny know am praying for her she a sweetheart ❤️ from heaven have a blessed Wednesday everyone 💖
We have a lot in common. My aunt was Mary Jane, my granddad was Ira and he also gave all the grandchildren nicknames. Tell granny we love her. Also Katie and family
I love your nickname, Tipper it is a very good nickname. It's awesome how you got the idea for The blind pig and the acorn. Prayers for granny and you and the family!🙏❤️🙏
Tipper.. I was also a very shy little girl. I used to hide behind my daddys legs and peak my face out at people. My name is Kelly Ruth but my daddy called me Rufus. I love your stories.
My favorite TV show as a child was Family Affair. My mom always fixed my hair in pigtails and I had freckles like the little girl on the show. My aunt named me Buffy & I carried my Mrs Beasley doll like she did. I still have that doll.
For many, many years I was called Cricket. My hair was so dark the sun would shine on my hair and it looked almost reddish blue. Still praying for Granny and the family.
Tipper, sweet lady your family is in my heart and prayers. Nickname of Corker or corky, my mommy gave me that name. She called me that until she passed. God bless .
Tipper, thanks for this video. I love your nickname! But Mary Jane is beautiful too. My hubby calls me honey a lot. Our son told him one time, Daddy, her name is mom, not honey.😅 🙏 for Granny and all the family. May God bless you all.
🎉❤😊loved this chat tipper! I can just hear you reading stories to the grandsons! Start while they are babies and they will always love stories! Praying for granny and all of you❤
Praying for Granny and all of your family. Love, prayers and hugs for all of you. I consider all of you family. I’d love to have some porch sitting time with all y’all.
My grandpa called people by their first name and added the word Face after your name. Janet Face my name and my sister Diane Face. We were born in the 1950’s before Facebook was even thought about! My dad is 91 and has just initials for his first and middle name -J L that is all he has on his birth certificate along with his last name. Thanks Tipper Face !
When I was born, my uncle gave me a nickname. Guess what it was? Mary-Jane!! He and an aunt called me that well into my adulthood. When he had a daughter, he nicknamed her Little Miss Muffet, which was shortened to Muffy and which we all called her.
I’m glad to hear granny is doing better 🙏🏻. My great great great grand mothers name was Molly when my mother was very little (the first born grand child ) she couldn’t say Molly she called her me money . From then on we all called her me money . Thank you for bringing that memory back. My mother will be 81 in June .
My name is Theresa and my dad nicknamed me Reese Cup (sometimes shortened to Cup). I lost him at the end of January and thinking of him calling me that is bittersweet. Always enjoy your videos ❤
We know why you are named Tipper! We pray for your mother. Can you believe it...I am still stuck in bed and can't walk! Everything at your place looks really nice you all take good care of each other! Sending our love and prayers.
The Blind Pig and the Acorn always sounds like the name of an English pub to me. They usually have names like that. Goes well with your nickname Tipper too.
I’ve used Even a Blind Pig… for probably 55 years, heard my Papaw say it. I’ve used it in conversation dozens of times. It’s right up there with Even Paranoids have Enemies.
From the time I was just a couple weeks old I was nicknamed Pooch an uncle called me that we'll it stuck I'm 72 now and my family still call me Pooch and a lot of my friends now my nieces and nephews call me Aunt Pooch and I love it. My niece who's almost 50 was born with a dislocated hip we started calling her Boo Boo and to this day she is Boo. Love the memories Tipper. Praying for Granny and the family.
Tipper you have a very soothing wonderful voice. You never fail to help me de-stress. At the risk of sounding redundant, I find that listening to you helps me to enter a calm space. I really enjoy your videos.
Loved the story of you calling your Mom's hairdo like a Dog...that's so funny and I'm sure she got a big kick out of it...Praying for Granny and y'all...God Bless🙏🙏🙏
At my school we have two brothers with last name Dollar. We call the younger brother in the 7th grade " Fifty Cents". Thinking of you all and hoping your mom is improving.
I like the name Tipper and I was one of those who thought, hmm, her parents were very creative in naming her. LOL Your channel is always a bright spot in my day. Praying for Granny. God bless you.
Dear Tipper, I’m so proud and happy to be one of your “acorns”. You’ve been a daily blessing in my life since last July! Granny and Pap did a wonderful job of raising you and your brothers! Love your whole family! Thank you for all your great videos and for just being the sweet person you are!🥰 God bless you! Love, Jackie🪷
Mine is "Sissie" a nickname from my Father, I have been binge watching your videos and I am grateful to know all the books and people that you interview. Currently reading Frank C. Brown Collection thru a University online. Love knowing names also. Prayers for you and your family.
Thanks for the garden and flower update. I love the way you view things. So much love in your heart. Special prayers continue for Granny and all of you! Hope things are going her way.
One of my Dad's cousins was known as Bill. To this day, I run into people that don't know His name was nothing like Bill or William. They remember Bill's Diner which He owned. When He was a young child, a cherished and wonderful neighbor said He looked like someone she dearly loved who was named Bill and He reminded her of Her long gone loved one. The name just stuck and everyone called Him Bill after that.
MaryJane is a very pretty name. Thanks for sharing how you are Tipper, a name I also like for girls, & how you chose your blog's name of Blind Pig & the Acorn. Katie & Corie were also called Chitter & Chatter, weren't they? Nicknames are fun, especially back in the older days, like even in the '30s where it was very common to have one. I had one of those walker deals like yours. How sweet to call Matt on cell to bring your sun thing for the camera 😃 Exciting to see how much rain y'all got. Please know a lot of us are praying hard for sweet Granny. 🙏🏻🌼🙏🏻
Tipper God sure knows how to make a spring season , I just noticed the same thing you are talking about with a spring rain and the green just explodes almost while you are watching. Your garden is just fantastic with the growth. Have a great evening 😀 ❤🎉🎉
We're still praying for Granny and everyone who loves her.❤
Miss Tipper, can you please tell Granny we are praying for her, and if she ever wants to take another helicopter ride she doesn’t have to be sick. We can Pitchin and get her a helicopter ride. I hope that makes her smile.😅

Always a joy tipper! Tell granny I’m blasting her with Gods powerful Love and Healing! ❤🎉👍
Praising the Lord for Granny's improving health. Such good news! 🙏
I pray that the doctors are on the right track for helping Granny. You forgot "Chitter and Chatter" for nicknames for Corey and Katie.

My little brother called me sister, because he couldn't say Lisa. My dad and uncle called me sister as well. Praying for Granny and all of you too. 🙏
That pan of the woods in spring was so serene, I want to just sit on your porch all day and drink it in. Thank you for including it!
Continued prayers for Ms Granny, family and all the caregivers.

I wondered about that meaning for TBPATA - we grew up with a similar saying, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then".
Tipper, thanks for this video. I love your nickname! But Mary Jane is beautiful too. My hubby calls me honey a lot. Our son told him one time, Daddy, her name is mom, not honey.😅

Enjoyed hearing the stories. I’m so glad you’re not shy anymore, lol. We get the benefit of your story telling now.
Being that Katie and Corie are twins, it's fitting that it would autocorrect to Copie (Kopie). In Dutch or German it means copy. Lol
Mine is "Sissie" a nickname from my Father, I have been binge watching your videos and I am grateful to know all the books and people that you interview. Currently reading Frank C. Brown Collection thru a University online. Love knowing names also. Prayers for you and your family.
