Tipper, I don't think you realize how much love shines from your eyes when you look at matt. I saw it the first time I saw you two together. And Mat has a twinkle in his eye when he looks at you. Our hearts are bigger in Appalachia, we love harder than the average people. I saw it in my grandparents and parents. we need each other to be whole. A good marriage is a real blessing. God bless.

Karen I don't think that is just for couples in Appalachia. I'm in Texas and so were my Parents and my Sister. We all have very loving marriages my husband and I are 70 and 76, my Sister is older, my parents were in their 80's and my Mom passed away just 6 months after daddy because she loved him and misssed him so much.

I think you're partly right. And I do see that in @celebratingappalachia Tipper and Matt. It's Country folks in general that do not spend their time with all of the "worldly" things. It's not living in the city around all of the fads and the things that are not real and its all of their manual labor and coming home to the same person without allowing their minds to be poisoned by the world. I feel like Tipper and Matt have a chemistry that is like breathing and you can clearly see that even after all of this time, they're genuinely interested in what the other is saying. Matt giggles when she describes the past and she's so supportive of all the little things he says. Tipper is what I plan to be like in a few years. I didn't have anyone this grounded in her family sadly. I'm that someone and I really appreciate this example. Even seeing what sort of a man Matt is, it's an example. You can tell he's a man's man. I know because my dad is one. And respectfully, Matt is clearly a man among men. Especially these days. The two are like a power couple and their children and grand children have exemplary example of what a husband and wife are. No one watching knows if they've had hard times as a couple , but after this long, if they have, they've achieved resilience and know how to put bad things behind. This is rare in the world. The world could use so much of them. In native tribes we call the good and bad "good medicine and bad medicine" because we believe it can be passed on to others. Matt and Tipper are good medicine. That's why I watch so much.

I'm 72 and also live in NC around the coast. We moved here 45 years ago and I worked in the Sewing/Shirt Factory's. Even became a Supervisor & then a Plant Manager...Sadly I watched them ALL close...so many many good people lost the only jobs they had ever known. It was heartbreaking, especially for the one's that were up in age. They had little to no chance of employment anywhere else....Production Sewing, etc was all they knew. Nearly all the clothes, etc are now made in Foreign Counties. It should have never happened. I think about all the folks that were devastated often. God Bless all those folks that will be losing their job's due to what the GOVERNMENT calls Progress. ❤🙏

Tipper- Thanks for talking about the Mill closing- reminded me of my dad- he also was a contractor. And all that went with that- we moved to Colorado so my Dad could would. My mom stayed home until she had to work. I missed her so much. But we had to have food. Yes- I say exactly what Matt said. Love u all - what a wonderful family. It should be with all families. Waiting for the next video. ❤❤

Corie and Austin are so fortunate to have a Mom, Dad and Sister who are so willing to help them with their yard and garden! Such a blessing to watch all of you working together on this project. This is what true families do! ❤ I am so saddened by the shutdown of this mill for the community there. With things as difficult as they are right now, this will really be a financial blow to all those people. Praying for a miracle for them.😢 I wrote this before I finished the video. I had to laugh at Matt when he said he was going to have to scrap his plan for supper because you didn’t have any broccoli. “Call around to see if you could borrow some broccoli because Matt’s melting down.” that is too funny! 😂😂😂

Tipper...you mentioned your papaw Wade....Wade was my Daddys name. He passed in 1983....I was 19. He was a carpenter...everytime I go in lowes or HD...going in the lumber part remimds me so much of my daddy. He built, remodeled and built cabinets...using a hand saw and saw horse. He did get to use a skil saw... ~ struck a memory in my heart.

Praying for ALL who are having to go through the mill closing. I remember in 1981, we had 5 children, husband lost his job, he had 42 job applications all around our area and nothing. We moved and by God's grace found work that included housing, 100 pounds of beef a month and paid utilities. It has been up hill since then, but we are still here. God bless all of you. ❤

Every time I watch one of your videos, I get this urge to pack up my family and leave Los Angeles for the sweet warm embrace of Southern Appalachia. It'd be the culture shock of a lifetime, but I'm sure I'd fall in love with the wholesomeness of it very quickly. My 40th birthday is tomorrow, and I haven't yet made my way East enough to visit your gorgeous state, but maybe someday I'll get there while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.

I love how your family pulls together to help each other! My parents were always like that, helping me and my husband with whatever we needed. My son lives too far for me to help him much, but I sure did my share of babysitting over the years and I loved it. My family has changed so much over the years. The grandchildren are all grown up and my Mom and husband have gone on home. Thanks for sharing your family with us! Praying for all those people who have been laid off. That is such a shame!

I have family and many neighbors who have been impacted by the paper mill closing too. I’m in the Maggie valley..it truly is devastating to the Haywood county area. I worry for all those families and as you said all the supportive jobs that were associated with the mill…it’s been the largest employer in the area for so very long. I felt the closing came out of nowhere…all these people have so little time to regroup and figure out what they are going to do for jobs..truly a terrible situation! Canton basically exists because of the paper mill! Love how the whole family pitched in for Corie! Lots of work done and it looked great! Blessings ❤️🙏

Living in Akron, Ohio I grew up with the rubber plants firing away. The smell was obvious and our porches and outdoor furniture were covered in ash. When we complained, my father always said "Don't complain! That smell is jobs!" Those jobs are long gone and the city has had to reinvent itself. I'm hoping the reinvention happens quickly for those impacted by this mill closing!!!

My husband is from Pittsburgh and the first time I went there in the late 70s there were rows and rows of empty buildings, Pittsburgh reinvented itsself … but l now wonder .. for how long . My son in law works in NYC in finance and his company just let go of 60% of their employees. I am holding my breath, bc my husband said it won’t be long until the company closes. The city is a mess now. We won’t go near it and we live 22 miles east.

I'm from Smokies, Bryson City NC, born 1960 . Interesting listening to y'all talk about powersaws. It was about 64 when my papaw got a saw. It was very heavy and loud I believe a blue Homelite. It was a miracle for them. From a double bit axe and a horse and sled to a real saw and a Willy's jeep to drag with. I learned to drive stick on that Jeep. Good times , we didn't know how good we had it , poor but happy. We migrated to the piedmont for opportunity. 32 years in a corn wet milling plant 12hr. shifts, retired at 57. But I still employ a lot of the old ways. We have a lot of common ground . I heat mostly with wood and raise a full garden and small farm. Hunt and fish. Pretty self sufficient and prepared . God blessed me very much. Times very uncertain now, y'all stay safe and God bless.

That's so good y'all helped them kind of get their feet under them a bit with the garden. It can be overwhelming, just getting it set up right, and such a blessing and gift to have experienced folks (mom & dad in this case) sharing tips/suggestions (I would reckon) and just getting it a bit farther underway. So excited for Corie & Austin and the joy they'll have from their gardens. 💓 🙌🏼

Both of my great grandfathers worked in the mill. One of them was killed in the mill around 1914. My grandfathers and many uncles, cousins and friends made their living there. Really can’t imagine Canton without the mill. Both my grandmas would always say “smells like money” when I’d mention the smell. Praying for the people affected.

Ran that yard works tiller for almost 60 minutes. That is one heck of a workout for this old guy! Now we can start planting some onions and squash. Will wait until the end of april to play probably around 125 tomato plants. Dad shares his haevest with the elderly folks at church and at the.miunt carmel, tn senior citizens center. I am very thankful that I had a father who taught me to work hard and to be generous about sharing stuff with other people less fortunate then us.

That reminds me of the late 90's when the many knitting mills began being shut down all over northeast Tennessee/ southwest Virginia ans up in western nc. The piece goods mill shut down in Johnson city that made socks. The wrangler jeans plant up in mountain city shut down and nc ost most of the knitting mills like field crest cannon that you saw along interstate 40 running by Greensboro and Winston Salem areas. All of that piece goods business got shipped over seas thanks to north American free trade agreement.

I enjoyed this video so much! I remember my Mom used an old nylon stocking to dust the garden plants with Sevin. Another thing this reminded me of is the hoops my husband and I had to jump through to put a double wide mobile home behind our house for his 95 year old mom to be close to us. I had a large three ring binder filled with all the paperwork, and this was for a brand new home, not something old and run down that we were trying to move in. I literally thought I would have a nervous break down by the time we went through all the red tape. It was horrendous. I'm 71 now, and I can truthfully say, "back when I was young". Thanks for sharing your memories with us.

My heart goes out to your community on the loss of the mill. I will keep the families in my prayers. It was a joy watching you all help each other. I am fortunate to have a family like that also. I have some broccoli if you want it lol that was funny.

Enjoyed yours and Matt’s reminiscing about the younger days. Sorry to hear about the mill closing. How sad. When our mill GP closed many years ago, our tiny town in south central Arkansas became crippled and the population decreased. Never recouping. My x husband worked 30 years traveling as a boiler maker working shut downs and building boilers all over the states. He worked shut downs at Champion back in the day. It’s a small world!! Brings back old memories for me in our traveling days. As always, I enjoy your videos.

Awesome video so great when you all work together helping each other. Of course the highlight of the video is you and Matt sitting around the fire drinking your hot chocolate. I also feel very sorry for all those people who will be losing their jobs. Life doesn’t seem fair sometimes but we just have to put our trust in the Lord and he will provide. ❤️

When you and Matt were talking about chain saws, it reminded me of when I worked in medical transcription (doc would dictate notes into a recording system and we would plug in later and listen and type it out). A dictation came up from the Emergency Room and the History of Present Illness started out with "The patient was working in the back yard with a chain saw..." and I thought, :Oh, dear! This is not gonna be good!" Lucky for him, it wasn't that bad; just a graze wound. The chain got tangled in his Carharts before it got to his leg.

I'm watching this right before Easter, 80's here today but by the weekend the high 60° and rain. Crazy weather in NC. Thank goodness our freezes are over. Hostas 6" up, first rose bloomed. Love your channel! Love the comfort and ease y'all put forth. Life can be hard and a sense of peace sure helps.

I remember Doan’s Little Pills, and just went to look them up to be sure I wasn’t misremembering. They were a non steroidal anti-inflammatory related to aspirin because they contain a salicylate (that was what I remember as my mother kept them in the medicine chest, I had been ready to suggest they were a form of aspirin). Up here in Massachusetts it was sunny and clear but the wind was blowing and it was pretty darned cold in the 30s. Some flowering trees are budding and I fear they won’t end up flowering after the freezing temperatures. Our tulips are coming up. Pizza can sit like lead in the stomach.

My parents and grandparents worked in the local Burlington Industries mill which made cloth. My freshman year in college it closed and affected our entire county as well so I know exactly what you mean. I also have been thru Canton on the way to TN mountains that I know that smell you speak about. I laughed out loud when Matt said back when I was young. I SO relate to that!!!!

Yes, I just wanted to say that I listen to a video last night. Of you reading from a book of a lady from your area! I truly enjoyed it! The book and you reading it! You have a way of sharing your life and others on your mountain. Want to thank you for that! I'm from Indiana and always loved going south as a child. With people that live here, but would go home and always invited me to go. I'm in my 60's now and you take me back to those warm and fuzzy times as a child!❤ I also enjoyed this video and all your others! PS: I would also want to say that I will pray for the people that are loosing their jobs at the Mill! That is so sad! 🙏

I was just in Canton on 3/9-3/11 (my Mom lives there) & was very sad to hear about the mill. She drove me over to see it & my heart was so heavy worried about all the people the closing will affect. That town has some really nice people.

When something like that happens we all feel so powerless to stop it. It’s a tragedy and someone needs to buy that mill. If I could win enough of the lottery money I promise to really help those people the best I can. I’m very ill and don’t need lottery winnings so it would give me great pleasure to be able to help them.

During a very difficult time of my life, I moved to a tiny town. My mom grew up in the area, and my grandparents had lived there before they passed. So there was a bit of familiarity for me there. I got to know one of their neighbors, who I think was in her 90s. I would go over to her house, and she taught me how to embroider - or reintroduced me to it. I don’t remember. But she told me about how the town used to be. Quite a bustling little place. It would’ve been neat to see it like that, but I also enjoyed it as it was. One of the places that was special to me was a the little grocery store. I loved going in there, for the social contact more than anything. I lived there for a few years, and then I moved to marry my husband. Shortly after, the grocery store closed down. So glad it was still open when I was there. Can’t imagine having it close.

Thanks for this video. I sure enjoy them. I know how bad it is for a mill to close. Both my parents worked in the cotton mill and I am so glad they had retired before the mill in my hometown closed. I really don't know what they would have done if the mills had closed before they retired. My in-laws worked in a mill that made blankets and that mill closed not long after they retired. Like Matt said those mills fed a lot of people and paid for a lot of cars and houses. I hope everyone that used to work for Champion can find a job. I know exactly where that mill is; I used to smell it when we would go to Cherokee. Like Pap said, it is the smell of money. Thanks for what you do.

Tops to listen in. Yep, many Hands. A favor earned a favor returned. So sorry to hear of the mill closure, it does affect local areas. It seems very sudden? The small town where my Mum and Dad lived and worked, had a sawmill that milled timber, some of the best cedar, from the local hills. In the old days cross cuts (bullock drays) later chain saws. The local abattoir, that sent meat to many east coast locations, also had to close. Hate cold hands and feet, that day we had around 102F. Red tape can be a pain. Boss once said to me, "Mate, ask the Master before you pat the dog".
