Pausing at the beginning , dear Susan, because you brought back an old memory that's funny NOW ;) ... a friend's family had sold the house and moved somewhere else. When she was visiting me, we went out and she said - Jean, can we drive by my old house? Oh, surely! Now, it was the last house - on a dead-end street. That ended in thick forest - you couldn't even walk through it . We pull up and - I don't even have the car fully stopped! - she jumps out and starts to yell YOU CUT DOWN MY TREE! YOU BASTARDS! I was trying to turn around, get her back in the car - it was, as they say today, 'a hot mess!' ;)~~~
Oh Jeanne … you were probably half mortified and half in hysterics from laughing…even when we sell our home and move away we still think of that house as our home. Be well, and be blessed 😊
Oh hell yes people can change! Since my mid to late teens, every 5 to 6 years I change profoundly. It would come about in such subtle ways until one day the realization that I am different is very clear. And each transformation is deeper and richer than the last. You would never know I was the person I am. Even I am amazed and I know this will continue for all of my life. Namaste.
From my observations as a 68+ year old woman...with time and experience our perspective on life and our past history DOES change! Susan, I was in tears when you spoke of returning to your childhood house and the hesitation you felt, fearing that those negative emotions would return. So happy it turned out to be a good "walk down memory lane." Kath🌻
“People get ready, there’s a train a comin, no baggage needed just get on board”. I love this video soo much ! Very timely message for me right now! People better change, I’m counting on it for myself right now.... newly single after 39 yrs of emotional/verbal abuse. I’m free and happy ! Big change 👍👍💜
Helpful Doctors on RU-vid provide so much compassion, understanding. Dr. Les Carter , also, Surviving Narcissism. And, Dr Ramani channel. It takes time healing from the abuse. 💝
KBB🥂🍷🍾🍻..Let's celebrate shall we ???to you dear and your Free new life🤗God Bless you mightily..then come back.. to Susan's and Desi's and we all can get refreshed..again and again and again..😉 🐶🫂
I felt like that mystery cat was your Grandfather saying hello to you! Welcoming you home. I wish you could buy that house to stroll down memory lane everyday.
You know I called and talked to the realtor and asked about that beautiful cat and he said the sellers have no pets! So now I do wonder about that sweet girl!!!
Your expression of how much Motown music impacted you is exactly the way I felt about Motown myself. My sister and I used to wash the dishes every night and the radio made it a much easier task. To this day, I listen to those artists and enjoy the richness of their voices and am filled with happiness. Some people do change but I think it requires a great deal of effort on their part. Peace.
This really was a Beautiful video! I sat here 😢 crying thinking of my childhood..which was a great childhood...just that your older 🏡 home you lived in when you were growing up looked identical to my front porch that I lived in I bought in 2008. Things have changed and got a Divorce and had to sell it. Mine was built in 1921 and brick like that and had Beautiful woodwork and remodeled. Alot of fun times in that home too! Just missing my Mom & Dad so very much now!
They mellow in their own peace & tranquility . Surrounded by all their favourite things and pets . Lovely video . Time fades all the Negative stuff . Great recipe by the way. 🦢🦢🦢
I felt the same way that other lady felt about that beautiful cat. It was there for a reason, to meet you at that house. Another great video, as usual.
Can so relate! I lived with my Grandparents then my mother bought a darling old Tudor home in a wonderful neighborhood in Kansas City. Loved that house but my mother’s alcoholism and being an only child with no father it was a terrifying time. The house was foreclosed on my junior year in college (1971) but I swore I’d buy it back. I did in 2003. I just sold it in 2013 but the joy I had making it a happy home for that terrified little girl that lives inside me was irreplaceable.
Wow. I mean, just wow! You really touched my heart with this story. Thank you so much for sharing☺️❤️ So happy for you that you got the opportunity to make it right. Stay happy, healthy and safe 🌻☀️
I don’t know if people change, but my perspective has changed. I was almost fearful of watching this video because I was afraid it would be too - well - too real for me. But it’s just the right amount of real. My perspective on memories, which we’re not supposed to address, has changed. Leave the bad behind, embrace the good. Then move on. Thank you, Susan.
Hi Susan! When I was watching your video I noticed 21 dislikes. Who could possibly dislike you! I love your videos they are so close to home for me. I am a few years younger than you but share many experiences like you had and many memories too. I too, love searching for treasures in second hand and regular stores because many items bring me back to the old days. I'm an only child and everyone is gone now. But I have my 2 daughters and my new grandson and they are the light of my life! Since I first came upon your videos last year, they have instilled a great feeling of warmth, wisdom, humor, fashion and make up tips for the older woman that have helped me so much. I love your decorating and the warmth and comfort it portrays. I too believe that a person's home is a reflection of themselves. After an awful divorce of a marriage of 20 years plus 7 years of dating happened to me 3 years ago I have never even thought of being with another person so I don't get hurt again. Even though I am lonely sometimes, you have given inspiration to find the finer things in life that really matter to me! Thank you so much, Susan!
Susan, you are looking so lovely, your skin is beautiful ❤️ you remind me of one those beautiful Botticelli paintings... This was a really touching video to see the home where you lived as a child and knowing how you felt, Susan you have come so far, you are a beautiful soul and one of the kindest human beings I have ever seen, we all are blessed each week when you and Desi give us a visit......
Dear Sweet Susan, it makes me feel so welcome and at home when you open your home and your heart to us every week. You have made a wonderfully warm nest for yourself and Desi and I love everything about it. The visit with Goldie and your childhood home was so special and I am glad you got to experience a pleasant stroll down your memory lane. My memories always invovle music as well. It is part of my soul. I look forward to our visit next week-and thanks for the yummy recipe. I am a dip junkie !!!
Thank you Susan and Desi this was such a beautiful video!!!!! I enjoyed it from somewhere so deep within me!!!! Has anyone mentioned how you are getting more and more beautiful all the time!!!!! The blouse is lovely on you, absolutely lovely!!!!
We grow into who we are with every day lived. Is it that we change, or that we morphe into a wonderful combination of experience, wisdom, and flavor......just like your recipe.......everything together makes us who we are. Without every memory we would still be that frightened child. It is very nostalgic going down memory lane and remembering what shaped us into who we are.
I understand how the memories must have flooded your mind visiting your old house...it's beautiful and thank you! for sharing with us.Have a blessed week sweet lady.
Susan, Susan, oh Susan! I found your videos this weekend and am in awe and in love with your wonderful, beautiful videos! I just love the beauty and sweetness of your soul, the beauty of your nature shots, your gorgeous home and your kind, humorous, sweet nature! I am 70, damn it...life just flies by too quickly! Yes we do change so does everything in life. What I thought was so important in the past, well, it is not important now. My priorities have changed and for the better! You inspire me immensely in every way and I thank you!
What a great era of music. Yes I’ve spent five years healing, after my second marriage bombed. You put together such a lovely video. Thanks for the company!
This was beautiful-I’m smiling from ear to ear- walking my cat in my back yard while watching here in Massachusetts- yes people do change - we all have a journey and when we look back we are the people we are today because of how we were influenced in our past - we can look at the negatives but whose past doesn’t have those but we can look at all our successes no matter how small and those add up to our greatness today! Your happiness is infectious! I spent the day in the park listening to concerts and stories reflecting on how I’ve become all the positive things I am today!
That is one of my favorite songs. I like your grandpa's house.It must attract animals, the dogs in your photos, Goldie. Glad you got to see Bill. I believe people do change for the better or worse. I have changed. I really don't care about people's opinions of me anymore and that is so freeing. I care about my opinion of me. Stay 😎. Hugs, Donna.
What a great video, Susan! I love all of the products you showed us! What a beautiful blouse! Loved the blooper, too! 😄 I believe people can change, either for the better or worse, based on the circumstances or events their lives, or just growing wiser with age. Thank you for your wonderful videos...I look forward to them every Saturday. Have a beautiful week!
Lady, I just discovered your channel and I think you’re Great! I really enjoy your videos and I think you are the sweetest lady. I’ve been binge watching your old videos. You really cheer me up. Thanks so much.
Me too! I just love her blog. I just found her yesterday. With all the mean and ugly in this world, this... feels so good, so precious and so NEEDED on You Tube! I know she is from Michigan but she has such a wonderful Southern Belle way about her. She can make you laugh at how she chuckles at herself and she can make you tear up because inside her truth is the same truth inside of you. Kindred spirits. Enjoy Dolly!
Dolly Dog - you STOLE my thunder! - I could have written this, and I did(!), under a different Little Poet video... Yours reads so much like mine, I had to double ck the name. Nope...Dolly Dog wrote this AND a good 2 weeks before I wrote mine - (sorry🙄 I guess I tried to steal your thunder, haha)😅 These Little Poet videos are like little heartwarming movies, aren't they? I'm binge watching 🥰
So ,lovely to see you this week Susan💕. I do believe people change. Some in good , some in bad. But they are definitely changing. Have a beautiful week.🤗
I loved that you showed the Gracie Allen and George Burns book. They were such a lovely couple, and I always told you that you remind me of her. I remember the house from when you showed it before. It is so beautiful. I think Goldie was welcoming you back. Yes. I think people can change, but, in my experience, the mean ones just get meaner. Lol. I love seeing you and Desi every weekend. It’s like spending time with a dear friend. 💝💕
I so agree with you Lynda!! I have experienced change as well as both of my sons...and it happened because we desired it, fought for it and worked through all the “things”...worth it!! 😀
LOVE Motown music. It so impacted my life, great & lasting memories. Love the blouse! I so wish that I lived closer, I would love to listen to your stories with a cup of tea or whatever. Love from California
Thanks for the beautiful video full of useful tips on skincare and the nice recipe, the gorgeous blouse, and most of all your insights in life. I think we all must change in life as we grow in wisdom and the experiences life gives us. Your channel is a real blessing and I'm always so happy to see what is new with you and Desi each week. God bless.
I love Beth Brown's comment below - it is exactly what I was thinking. Of course, we absolutely change -- I would certainly hope so!!!! Through the years we have had loves, losses, successes, failure, friends, people we thought were friends, love of family, family squabbles, birth of children and raising them, then having to let them go so they can grow and move on, our insecurities, our strengths, our faith, our questioning, oh my .... it just goes on and on.... isn't life amazing!!!! I have a friend who sends me daily quotes and this was today's --- "don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect." Thank you Susan, and all who share the wonderful positivity that we all need each and every day, the friendly reminders that we do matter, and that we are ALL special. Lots of love from Idaho!!!!!
Your childhood home is so lovely, wouldn't it be awesome if you bought it, you would be full circle.The spinach dip looks delicious and I will be making it for sure.Yes I also believe people can change.Stay lovely and have a good week!
Oh Susan, I love all your videos so much and always look forward to Saturday night to see you and Desi. I'm your Hoosier neighbor over here in Indiana, just wish we lived closer...we could go shopping together. I too always loved Motown music and one of my favorites is Smokey Robinson. I actually got to meet Gladys Knight a few years back up in Utah. She walked in this little shop with her grandkids and she looked like a little Angel. She had the most beautiful aura around her and she was so friendly. She really did take my breath away with her Angelic presence. Give precious Desi a hug and kiss from me. You are such a classy, talented and beautiful woman.
Oh Jana! You are just gorgeous!!! Yes, let's go shopping and lunch and then take in a concert!!! I loved Glady's so much...such a talent..a calming soothing soul...I have one really good Aretha story I so want to share...she had a boyfriend that lived here in GR and wow, she would check-up on him ( cheating) and I was there ( well from afar!!) !!! Love you and thank you so much for being here!!! xxoo Sues
What a beautiful home you Grandfather built. I grew up in a Craftsman style home in Detroit and looking at the pictures of your childhood home reminded me a lot of the one I grew up in. I absolutely love a Craftsman home, they are my favorite architectural style. I wish you could have purchased the one your Grandpa built. I can SO see you there. I moved to Texas from Michigan, in 2015, following my daughter and her family. I miss Michigan so much. Almost every day I think of moving back.....but my family is here now and also, I DON'T miss the Michigan winters. LOL Also, I love those figurines you showed. My sister gave me one of them, two sisters, so I would always remember her. She was dying of cancer at the time, and every time I look at that little figurine, a tear comes to my eye. Same thing when you show them on your videos. She lived up by Reed City, and the only time I've seen those particular figurines is the one she gave me and the ones you show. They must come from that part of Michigan?
Yes people can change! I have. It took me a long and many slips. I didn’t get made at myself. One can only change for yourself not because some one else wants you to change.
This video did my heart good, you gave me joy with the old home house, the cat so pretty and always Desi ❤. I love you both always look forward to seeing y'all ❤
I haven't watched in a while but I just want to say that you never disappoint. I would cry if I went into the house I grew up in, Mostly tears of joy. Mostly good memories. I remember doing the dishes after dinner and turning on the radio and sing, singing and singing. It was an am fm radio with dials. It sat on the top shelf of a bookcase in our kitchen. I had cats too! Sitting up in my dinky room with girlfriends talking about boys! We were so young! What memories you have brought back to me this afternoon! I love all the tips on makeup and skin care, thank you! Have a great week!
This was a beautiful video. I love the recipe; the house visit; the summery outfit! Susan, you are thriving. You are teaching us to thrive, too! Thank you so much!
What a lovely thing to say to me Belinda...thank you so much for being here and sharing time with me and the Gangsta who can't share!!! LOL....Happy weekend to you and yours, Susan & Dez
Hello there! I was just thinking of a painting you show us every week....I can't get that out of my mind! I am so sorry I have been so flaky this year...we had plans I know and it got away from me. Please forgive me Tamara!!!
I totally enjoy you lovely ladies. I relate to you both: mature, hopeful, have a little dog, growing out my silver hair, enjoy beauty, health and skincare. Thanks for being an inspiration and keeping me company. 😘⚘
It's so hot at the top of the mountains in Fawnskin Ca today and I am feeling sad. Thinking of police officer husband I lost.You brought sweetness to my day 😊❤️
This video made me think of summer nights on grandma and grandpas porch as a kid in the 60s, listening to the katy-dids and watching the lightening bugs! I miss that!😹
Ok, this time you “almost” made me cry, it’s the first time I didn’t! I’m so happy you felt the joy of healing ! I love my fan but yours looks fantastic! Yes, people change! My Father would never join us in church. He would only watch TV. Near the end of his life we were shocked when he walked in all dressed up and sat with us.His grandchildren were so happy and impressed! He would come on and off and come over after church! Thanks for reminding me! Then I cried after!
Such a great video! And that Desi is the reason I keep plugging way. Cats and Dogs are my Hero's. I feel some people change. For me the change was forgiveness to my beloved parents ten years prior to their deaths. I didn't have a calm,loving home. Anything but that. But I realized they didn't either. Does it justify - no. But you do need to move on and forgive. Peace Susan 🙏
Hello sweet Susan Looking beautiful and glowy What a cute cat passing by Nostalgia is beautiful and yet kind of sad Thanks for sharing your beauty products Hugs Love to cute Desi
I built 7 homes and bought 1 resale home that was only lived in for three months with no children. When we bought that home we had put in a new kitchen, flooring and repainted all the walls. I loved that home. I loved all my homes. I like making my memories in my homes as well as decorating all of them. My homes are were my heart is. I can relate how you feel about your families home.
Another amazing video….you tap into our souls….I often drive by my childhood home….it was up for sale and I went on line and looked at the familiar rooms….we also had a screened porch where we spent hours and hours in the Summer, chatting, listening to Summer storms….I still get the feels today. I have built a screen porch on my own home…yes I added wind chimes, citronella candles….sometimes I lay out there at night and go back to my simpler days of my youth.
Sadly , I think people change. I belong to a high school group an some seem to be so bitter. I think that maybe life hasn’t been good to them. I guess it’s how you overcome and manage the pain in your life. I think I am blessed to have good friendships and family.
How fun to visit the house your grandfather built! I love going back to our former places too! I do think people change. Some for better, others for worse. I'm hoping that I am growing for the better. I see so much positive growth in you over the years I've followed you. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me
This video was so full of joy & although changes occur, we still take those happy memories with us! Orange cat was your family welcoming you home & giving you a blessing to take on your way! Thank you for this lovely trip down memory lane & all your great new finds!! ❤️
Knocked it outta the park again !! I am not surprised you are something else!! Tears this time though you speak to my heart 💜.. I was raised on a farm in Elyria Ohio and the first time I saw it after I had moved away I was soo sad .. now all I can see and feel is my Daddy’s aura everywhere. I loved that man so reminds me of how you felt about your Grampa. Anyway again thank you for being wonderful 💕
Thank you so much for being here...I fell in love with that golden sweet cat!!! I wonder what Desi would think of a cat? Happy Sunday to you Cathy :)! xxoo Susan
People can change, if they truly want to…you have changed, healed and grown. I have done the same…shed the worries, fears and burdens of the past. Created a new, bright, wonderfilled, happy Life! Because we are worth it! Bright and Beautiful and it shows and glows from within to our outer Lives! 💕
When you talked about sitting on the porch swing listening to a Hard Day’s Night on your transistor radio I thought if I’d been your friend I would have been right there with you. 📻☺️
Oh yes Susan people do change! While sitting here with foot propped up recovering from knee replacement surgery and remembering how much I loved Motown too! Sending love to you and Desi!!
Oh I remember the first time I heard " Stop IN Name of Love".....I wanted to kiss the sky! How is your recovery coming along/??? PS: I met Smokey Robinson when I was in my 20's! OMG!!!
@@LittlePoet Susan I met Smokey Robinson too! I was with a group of friends at one of his shows. We waited at back of theater and guess what he gave me a kiss on the cheek! Amazing!! Oh and the knee is coming along slowly thanks.
