I don't think there is anything wrong with any of these comments expressing gratitude. It is a gift from God that Tipper and her family use a much misused resource to give companionship and education to anyone who is blessed to find it.

That big sigh Tipper. Even though you are trying to carry on carrying on, your exhaustion still shows. You and your family have been through a long ordeal. Please get a good nights sleep tonight. ❤️🇨🇦

Seeing Matt there holding that basket of tomatoes, he almost looks like Jim Varney, the late actor/comedian who was very gifted. When I was a child, I'd fall asleep to the sound of my relatives conversing and laughing. I didn't realize at the time how much I'd miss hearing their voices. Listening to Matt and you just conversing is just as calming and pleasant, even if you're not talking about much other than observations. Conversation like that is becoming a lost art form as people will text their loved ones across the room! Insanity!

Good Morning Tipper and Matt I'm glad that you are getting back to some kind of normal after your loss of Miss Cindy. As you was talking about her little cat she had all those years and him passing two days before her. I was thinking he couldn't stand the thought without her so he went on so he could be there waiting on her . I have heard some say that old pets like that will hang on because they know their owner still needs them . To me our animals are such a wonderful gift from God to us they love us so unconditionally I know my little dogs always know when I'm having a really bad day with all the pain and they stay right at my side. They sure keep me company I'm so thankful I have them in my life. I hope your trip went well and after the book signing you all took a break and got some rest it will take a little while to get all your strength back. We are getting rain right now it's so hot and humid here in southern KY we even had a Air Quality alert Thursday and Friday it was so smokey from the fires out of Canada. I can't imagine the people up north living in all the smoke. 🙏 Sending You All Prayers and Blessings 🙏💙💙💙 🇺🇸 HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY 🇺🇲🎆🎇✴️💥🌟

I’m with Matt. Humidity and unbearable heat make me feel so awful. When we moved to Montana, I was happy to have no humidity. Your garden is beautiful! I know y’all are trying to get back into your normal life after losing Miss Cindy and keeping up with your garden. Enjoy the bounty you get from the garden 😊💗🙏

Thank you for letting us know about Yoda. I am sorry for his loss, but glad Miss Cindy did not grieve for him. I don’t know if animals go to heaven (sure hope they do!) but hopefully Yoda was waiting there to greet Miss Cindy. You said a couple of times you needed to wash your face and comb your hair. Brought back memories of my daddy making me get up for school. Every morning he would say “time to get up, wash your face and hands, brush your teeth, and comb your hair” 😂 I’ll never forget that sweet memory. Praying that God continues to bless you all as you deal with the loss of Miss Cindy ❤ PS, I’m with Matt … hate the heat and humidity. The only good thing about summer is thunder storms, IMO. Nothing like the sky getting black, flashes of lightning and booming thunder!

Hey Tipper. I just want to thank you for the opportunity to meet you , Matt & Katie on Saturday. I was star struck at the moment but today I could think of all kinds of things I would love to sit and chat with you by the wood stove. You are so sweet & genuine just like on your videos. You would never know y’all had done a days work before meeting everyone on Saturday. Y’all are precious & I love your popsicle chats. I grew up in the 60s & 70s and we would have those hog killings you were talking about. They were so much fun, even though it was freezing cold & your fingers felt like they would fall off. When our children grew up & married, I asked the daughter in laws if they wanted to learn to can and freeze. We would set up a day that they could all come over & I would buy up several boxes of the chosen produce from a local produce farmer. They learned to can green beans & tomatoes & to freeze corn & butter beans. We all worked together and divided the bounty. They continue to put up food now on their own. I am enjoying my cookbook. It is a treasure. Congratulations to you & Jim on creating such a beautiful book.

But watching you guys can make me feel lazy and out of touch with nature. However hearing Matt talk about his inability to tolerate the heat and humidity makes me feel less pathetic 🙄LOL! And I also want to add that the weather in the Appalachians can be very different than that of the gulf coast . So at almost 50 I am more forgiving of myself for hating the heat and humidity. Well...... anyhow on another note you guys have a special life. You guys are very blessed to have the life you have. It is a testimony to many people.

Growing up we always had an half acre garden. One year our tomatoes did amazing! After we picked our last harvest, we let the green tomatoes get nice and big. While they were still green, we picked them. Then momma and I wrapped 1 page of newspaper around it. We filled 2 tomato boxes that way. We then put the boxes in the bottom of the fridge. At Thanksgiving and Christmas we unwrapped the tomatoes, picked out the bad (some didn’t survive), and the ones that were ripe, what were not ripe was rewrapped and put back into the box and fridge. It was so nice to have fresh tomatoes during the holidays!!

I cried to think about camping by a mountain stream in Granddaddy’s truck on an old mattress tossed in the back. Ice cold water so clear and deep. Jump ahead to three children of mine in a tent big enough for a family. I cry for a piece of me that’s missing. Granny is so dear. Thank you, Tipper and Matt for sharing your life and family with us. 😊Be happy!

It’s obvious how much you and Matt are grieving the loss of Miss Cindy. You look tired Tipper, please take care of yourself. I pray the Lord grants you all rest and peace. Find comfort in the Lord but also in all you did for her all her life and especially during her last days. God bless.

He was at one time 23 pounds, he was so sweet, funny and so calm. My heart is so very sad. I can understand the love you spoke of that Miss Cindy had for all her fur babies. They are a gift from God, just as our precious loved ones. May God's blessings be with you all in all ways.🙏

You two are too cute! I love it when you smile at each other and your eyes sparkle with that secret knowledge that only you two share.

I just wanted to throw out an idea. When you was talking about how the time would come to clear out Miss Cindy’s things, I wanted to pass this on. My grandmother died the year before I was married. I’m so thankful for whatever reason I was given some of her aprons and a few clothes to keep. Although this wasn’t the plan at the time, years later I had her apron to display and a poem about it I wrote. Then when my kids and now grandkids have come, so many years later, I have a little swatch of her fabrics I can put in a baby quilt for them. Although they never met her, there’s still a connection. Through the years I’ve got a shirt or something from other family members for a remembrance block in baby quilts or made a memorial fabric star ornament for the Christmas tree. So many of those people have also passed away now, but I’m glad I got something to keep as a connection. Just be sure to write on the piece of fabric somewhere who it belonged to. I was cleaning out my sewing room the other day and was amazed at the amount of these memory fabrics I have (some of people I didn’t really know, but they gave us a shirt or something when I was making the baby quilts for nieces or nephews….and now I’ll have it for future babies.

What you guys said about the old-timey work-entertainment of making green tomato pickles and corn shuckings, etc. is so true. There is a meme going around Facebook that says, "The problem with today's society is that nobody sits on the porch and shells peas (or snaps beans or whatever) with grandma anymore." And then your conversation reminded me of two times in my life when I went to visit an aunt and uncle only to find one snapping, stringing and shelling shelly beans with a couple of cousins and another aunt or the other aunt I went to see, we (auntie and cousins) sat and shucked and cut off the cob several bushels of sweet corn to put in freezer bags for Thanksgiving. Both times I went home with a gallon bag full of goodies; shelly beans and green beans from the one visit, and a bag of cut corn off the cob from the other visit. Good times!

Some of my best memories are of camping by a stream, fishing for supper. Camp fires to roast hot dogs and s'mores. Sleeping in a sleeping bag, on the ground, on the tarp of the floor of the tent. Hanging laundry on a makeshift clothesline. Cooking on a Coleman propane stove. Lighting with a Coleman lantern. Using the great outdoors for the facilities .

Those marigolds reminded me, we have a kitty who’s about two years old now, and every once in awhile he just gets on a digging spree when we let him out in the backyard. So we have all kinds of little tiny holes in the backyard, and my husband told me I should plant marigolds in them 😊.

Thank you for sharing your garden and life with all of us. I enjoy listening to y’all just sit and talk. Y’all are in my prayers. The heat and humidity this year seems more than usual and I’m like Matt and not a fan of it.

I live in Northern Nevada, we have the dry heat, the sweat evaporates quicker here😉 My husband is from Mystic CT, we would fly back to Ct and sail during the summer for 14 yrs.. we never could adapt to that humidity.. I remember sweating after getting out of the shower…. So I tried this trick… after getting cleaned in the shower, I would slowly start reducing the warm water in the shower to the point my body could tolerate the cold water.. I would let my body / core cool in the shower for a minute or so….this helped very much , in terms of eliminating sweating when getting out of the shower. COOL THE CORE REALLY WELL BEFORE YOU HOP OUTTA THE SHOWER.😉

Friday was miserable, it was unbearable and, the next night we had bad storm where, the power went out, nothing worse it seems like sleeping inside when, it’s hot. My step dad had a bunch of outdoor cats and, they seemed like they kept repopulating. The thing about most indoor cats can be very calm in the midst of everything that goes on in life. But, then, those are those rare cats that can be worse than a 2 yr old child, which a friend of mine had. With a camper you then, have to fight the heat. I do know in some of the state parks they have cabins and, a few here and there have a few motels and fancy restaurants. Well, thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing your Sunday with us. May God continue to comfort you and you & your family are in my prayers.

I'm with Matt! I grew up in SE Missouri, close to the Mississippi River. Summers were in the 100s with 99% humidity. I spent summers working for Dekalb. One year, I suffered from heat exhaustion. Now, I can not take heat and humidity at all! Now, we live in a dry climate. It might get hot, but it's definitely not as bad without the humidity!

I hate the heat and humidity too! It's been humid in West Virginia for the last couple of days. I'm glad you told us about Yoda. I started to ask but then I thought it might be too nosey of me. I have four cats and they sure have been a comfort and good company since my husband died. I love all animals and I somehow end up with all the strays in my neighborhood, dogs and cats. I'm too old and disabled to take care of a dog now so when my last dog died I had to say no more doggies. Pets can tell when their humans are ill and since Yoda was already in decline he knew it was time to go. My Mom and Dad had a cat named Yoda many years ago.

About 20 years ago we bought a folding trailer called A-Liner. They have no canvas, they fold up and tow just great behind a Toyota 4-runner. You can set one up in 5 minutes or less and most of them have air conditioning. We had one with a Port-A-Potty, a queen bed on one end and a double bed on the other that folded up into an eating area. It had a three way refrigerator, a two burner propane stove and lots of storage. Google them up. They were so good we had two of them. We got 14-15 MPG when towed behind a Dodge Dakota. On one trip we went west through 10 states and 8,000 miles. You might find one used and a little worse for the wear and then re-condition it. Love you guys

@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you, Tipper. I wish you the same, I know that adjusting to life without Miss Cindy will be a long journey. You all continue to be in my prayers.

My mom used to make ‘Spanish Eggs’. She’d slice a tomato real thin, sauté it in bacon grease until the liquid was cooked off, then stirred in some scrambled eggs and cook til the eggs are done scramblin’. DELICIOUS. One of my favorite summer breakfasts with buttered toast 🤤

Yum!

When I was a girl my dad gutted the back of his red van and built a platform bed with storage under it put in a table bolted to the floor and some shelves. We had a lot of fun road trips to grandmas in the back of that van.

I wish there could be an event where we could meet Granny. I vote in favor of an episode showing Papaw Tony pickling corn.

I wish you could too David 😀 I hope to get to do the video with Papaw

When i was a kid we picked blackberries and blueberries as a family. My brothers, mom, dad, and gram and gramps too. We wore one of dads old belts with a metal bucket swinging on it! Those were great times!❤❤❤

Love those memories 😀

I like to see you two do a diy project on a camper of some sort. Watching you two is better than Netflix I always enjoy ❤😊

😂 I am corn shuckin' listening to y'all! I am hungry now, listen to Matt talking about all the good food.

Happy American Independence Day, Tipper, The Dear Hunter, the girls and Granny! 🇺🇸💯❤️‍🔥 And I received my cook books, Tipper. I worked in & ran a shipping dept for many, many years and was amazed at just how much care y’all took with their packaging. They arrived more than a week before the date Etsy stated and in absolutely pristine condition. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO MUCH!!! 🙏🏻❣️

Aw Miss Cindy's kitty, Yoda. ❤

It's raining here off and on. Then it gets humid badly in Southwest Virginia. Our tomato plants are like yours ..they have a few tomatoes on them and plants are brown

I love to listen to you both sit and just chat about everyday things. I’m truly sorry for your loss.. it truly leaves a huge hole in our heart. Sending you all many blessings for you’re hearts to ease and strength for the weeks ahead.

I love all those blue tailed lizards 🦎 especially when they eat the mosquitoes 🦟

@@CelebratingAppalachia be careful not to try to catch them or they might shed that beautiful blue tail as a defensive attempt to escape from danger, they’re not near as purdy without their tail 😂

As I was enjoying the two of you chat about how dirty you are and how you needed to clean up before you left and Matt said what his grandmother called it - I'm not even sure how you would spell it - nasness!!!!!! I was hysterical!!! I live in Chattanooga but was born about 40 miles south of Huntsville, AL so my Southern roots are deep. I heard that as a child and recognized it the minute he said it. I'm sure it was the country way of saying nastiness. Most of the words you all say that are the Appalachian language is what I was raised hearing. I understand it clearly. I didn't know until I was in school that a "chimley" was really a chimney. Or a "wast" was a wasp. I love my southern heritage and I enjoy watching your family.

Tipper, you and Matt are a treasure.

Matt you are like my husband. Can’t take the heat and humidity anymore, so we move 13 years ago to the coast of Oregon from the Central Valley of California. Our high is 59 today and sunny 😊 it’s 108 where we used to live. 🥵

Love green tomatoes are so good canned. Love to batter and fry them in the deep winter months.
