Granny with Her Family, the Bracelet I Wear, my Hair, and Wisdom from the Comments 

I’ve also heard “God gave us two eyes, two ears and one mouth. Meaning we should listen and watch twice as much as we talk!”

My momma used to have all kinds of sayings like “your word is your bond” and “you can’t change the past but the future is yours so choose wisely”. I miss her so much!

We grew up extremely poor, homeless a couple times. My mom used to say " Nothing's ever so bad that it couldn't get worse". Now whenever I think I'm going through a hard time that saying makes me grateful, no matter what.

Just as an fyi…Maya Angelou was the originator of the saying “When people show you who they are, believe them.” So very true. God bless you all.

One l love. The mightiest Oak in the woods started as a nut that held its ground.

Family time is the best time. It is so precious.

Tipper - my Daddy used to say whenever we passed a fancy car on the road - “I wish I had that car and they had a feather in their ear, then we’d both be tickled!”

My aunt used to say that one, "the least said is the easiest mended". I had never heard anyone else say that! It's nice to hear. She lived to be 106. We were really close, we talked almost everyday.

"Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see." My stepfather told me that when I was a young teen and its always stuck with me.

My Mom would say, “There are more people riding the wagon than pulling it.” As a pastor’s wife, she was familiar with more people running the show or reaping the benefits than those doing the work.

Growing up our Dad told us if we found a career we loved we were blessed and if that career paid well we were doubly blessed.

My son-in-law always said "It is what it is". In other words let go. We lost him in September 2023, at a young age, and when I think of him I hear "Let go and let God". Thank you Tipper. God Bless

Tipper, one of my favorite words of wisdom is on a plaque on my wall. “Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful “. We all have problems and troubles but life is still good.

I remember when I was beginning to be friends with someone that my mom didn’t like or didn’t like their behavior she would say, “birds of a feather flock together” meaning you are known by the company you keep. I hated to hear that then but I can see the wisdom of it now.

My Mum always said "you tend your own knitting".

I laughed out loud about Granny saying it was getting rough in there.🤣

My Dad always told us “don’t let your crocodile mouth over load your canary hind end” only he was a little more colorful about it. I always think of that before I say something that might get me in deep waters. Your mouth can get you in trouble faster than anything.

Tipper I’ve always told my kids and now my grandkids….having good integrity means doing the right thing even when noone is watching you.

Prayers for pastor Lon, and your cousin, Tina, Giselle. We all know so many folks who are needy and dealing with issues.i I’m also praying for our country. We have so much going on and truly my faith is how I get through the day.

WISDOM: It's good to have money, and the things money can buy, but it's good too, to check up once in a while, to make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy.

Thank God he brought rain to Brasstown. I pray for you and your family. Be safe Oldfirekeeper 61 Great Smokey Mountains N.C

When I was a small child, my mother read the book, Bambi, to me. In the book, Thumper makes the statement, something like - If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I am now 80 years, but I have always tried to apply that statement, not always successfully. Thank you so much for everything that you do.

Shortly after being discharged from the military in 1981, I moved to Beaver Dam Valley in Asheville, NC, where my husband is from. It was beautiful. We didn't have a penny to our name, and was renting a tiny little place at the top of a hill. When it snowed, I remember riding a tobogan down the steep hill holding our little son, down to the main road so we could go to work (to me, that was kinda fun). I'm from CA and of course always heard about the Appalachians, so Asheville was the closest I got to it and was always intrigued. So when your RU-vid channel popped up from nowhere, I had to watch it and have been hooked ever since. You and your family are great, and yes, I've subscribed to your daughter's channel, as well. LOVE your cooking videos and all that you do. I made your Pimento Cheese recipe yesterday. It's amazing! What a special gift y'all have being from the Appalachians! Thank you for doing your part in keeping it alive. Many blessings.

I sometimes tell one of my granddaughters when she's pouting, pick up your lip from the floor before you step on it.

Sending love and prayers for Pastor Lon, Tina and Gisele. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤

God bless you and your family.

Good morning Tipper here in Georgia it's cloudy here hope we get some rain we sure do need it glad everyone is doing good God bless you all

My kin used to say about money received, don’t let it burn a whole in your pocket. In times of trouble, when it rains it pours. Good thing you saved for rainy days such as this. I’ll be lifting your request up to Jesus Tipper as well as our country.🙏♥️did you ever hear when you were young? You call out over and over momma, and your parent or other would say that’s my name don’t wear it out! Or what’s your name? My names puddentain. Love the bracelet statement your friends had inscribed. That gave me giggles. Brooks, Oregon.

I love your channel. Thanks for sharing your kindness, humor, sensibility and dear family.

Cathy and I stop by Alexander's store about every year for the past 12 or more years while we vacation around the Blue Ridge/Blairsville area. Great store.

I was blessed with two amazing and strong grandmothers. My maternal grandma especially used wise sayings, most of which you already covered. I have not heard this one: "empty barrels make the most noise", which covered 'mansplaining' before we invented that word!

My grandma always used to say “there for the grace of God go I” when I would complain about something that somebody else was doing. It helps me remember the grace I’ve been given by our Lord, and by remembering that I am reminded not to complain about someone else or what they’re doing. Love your channel 🙂 -Rachael Tripp

Thankful praise to OUR FATHER for Heavenly rain.! 🙏📖

Love you Tipper. Love your channel and so Glad God answered your & my prayers for the rain you are getting. God Bless you and your family!

My 97 yr old precious mom told me the other day that her Mom always said, “Always taste your words before you say them.” My Dad always told us to “look down the road & see how it’s going to be before you get there.” Dad also would say, “ come up to the lick log.” meaning to own up to it) He also would say, shell the corn down (meaning to tell the truth) and he always told me when I was a kid that I was anybody’s dog that would hunt with me.

Thank you. Glad it rained for you❤❤

My brother came up with this saying several years ago, when people are on the phone too much and not paying attention to the people you’re around … “love the ones you are with “ this is not very old, but it will be lol

My birthday is tomorrow! But my kids ,all but one, came and we celebrated my birthday yesterday! We had a great time! Great food! I didn’t do much but mix up bake beans! Everything was cooked on the grill or smoker! Had gluten free cupcakes, gluten free cheesecake, gluten free cake balls, very delicious! What I enjoyed the most was we walking thru the garden! But I asked them to pick it for me, I have had back issues this week and couldn’t! Then I sent 2 or 3 bags full of tomatoes squash, peppers, okra ! They we’re surprised, they just thought they were picking for me! But really my back just needs to rest this week and I would have tried to pick it and my back would have gotten worse! Now I don’t worry about wasting those vegetables! I have plenty of vegetables still green on the vine! Especially tomatoes!

Good afternoon! Missed the live I was in the garden! We’re getting rain also. Praise the Lord!!!

It's great to see you back/w anither video posted.😊👏🏾

Thank you Tipper! Have a great week!❤️🙏🇨🇦

I really enjoy these 'lives', Tipper. Will be sending prayers for those mentioned. Here's some wisdom from my dad: 'Mind your own beeswax, cornbread,and shoe tacks' And one of my favorites, 'Let the slick end slide and the rough end bump'.

I always am missing the live 😢 wanted to get to chat with you so bad like everyone else hope you are having a great day and getting rain you need. We finally getting some . Ok now going to watch the replay sending Prayers and love to you all🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻 Please keep praying for me need it badly 🫂

I so enjoy your talks. This one has been especially interesting. Thank you!

When deciding whether a situation does or doesn't require something Tipper, I remember my dad saying " better lookin' at it than lookin' fer it"!

Here in central Ohio we got much needed rain this morning it perks up the plants so well. I will pray for your 3 friends you mentioned ❤❤

Such great stuff!! Thank you! Everyone for sharing! Thank you tipper! God bless you all!❤

Sending my prayers for ones is sick power of prayers it breaks my heart when anyone sick thanks you guys for this great video have a blessed Monday everyone 💗 🙏

We have gotten lovely slow rain here in Paris, Texas too, these cooler temps are great too.😂

I love the humility of your sharing; you’re the real deal.

This brought memories!😊

Good morning from Oregon

Your right we sometimes don’t no what to pray for,but God knows,prayers for all those you mentioned,especially Jazell,may she get the things that will make her comfortable.,

My prayers for your friends and family 🙏📖🙏 .....

A lot of the old sayings are word play. My grandmother would always retort to, "just wait," with, "weight is what broke the wagon down." Her response to, 'Well," was always, "that's a hole in the ground; has water in it if it ain't dried up."

Thanks Tipper the words of wisdom I look forward to hearing. I'll pray for your cousin, pastor Lon, and Giselle.

❤happy you are getting rain!😊❤❤

Your videos are so refreshing and calming! I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for taking time to share!

I have an ID bracelet a dear friend gave me, I was around 12, 1976 .I still cherish it and still in contact. We had reunions once a year moms family were very close and scattered everywhere. Big families. We were always there. Some we saw every year or every few years. Our last was mom's 75th bday. In 2009. Miss it so much. After she passed in 2016, I tried to but it didn't work out.

Thank you for sharing all of your videos. They always make me feel so grateful. I hope you continue to get enough rain, too!

My father always says “Any port in a storm” I still say it.

I really like your hair Tipper 😊

Prayers going up now for Pastor Lon, Tina & Gazelle. May God meet each need! He is able!

I love your channel. God Bless ❤&🙏for all in need !

Love your Monday live time. I am not sure if I shared this one. In my elementary school years autograph albums were popular. Not just for famous people's autographs but for family and friends to sign and leave a thought . My Sister wrote this in mine. You will like it Tipper, it is about snow! 😉 I have never forgotten it. "Your life lies out before you like a field of drifted snow. Be careful how you treat it, for every step will show." God Bless your family.

U Rock Tipper. So Good hearing All the Wise Words of Wisdom. Keep Up the Great Work!

So glad you got rain!! We also have gotten some much needed rain here in Alabama! Praise the Lord. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning, Tipper

When you were telling what Granny said about things getting rough and going home, reminded me of an older couple i knew. If people were visiting he and his wife and he thought they were staying a little late he would tell his wife "Well we better be going to bed, these people might want to go home." Glad you all had such a family get together.

I'm praying for those that you mentioned sister Tipper.God bless you and all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus!

Love the wisdom quotes you shared. My Mother told me "A foolish promise is better broken than kept"

Good morning ❤ and Good morning to Binks ❤

I asked my husband what were some old sayings he heard growing up so we could keep these great wisdom sayings going. He said a few after he thought a while. Almost only counts in horseshoes and grenades. - Ain’t worth a hill of snap beans - Watever makes you laugh can make you cry.

Great chat!

I’m hoping your Rain ☔️ comes our way. I will Pray for Tina and Gezel.

You are a big blessing for us sharing your life and traditions that can stilled be learned and used today and especially in a time where ends are hard to meet.

Oh one more, "If you're gonna dwell on it, learn from it"😊

Glad to know Granny got to spend time with all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren! Hope the signing at Alexander's goes well.

So happy your family had such a a nice get together, I miss those! One of my favorite sayings "Don't pray that trouble doesn't come, pray to get through it! ❤

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Always glad to pray for others! Tipper, your channel and your girls' are such a huge blessing to me. I'm SO happy I found yalls channels. Y'all feel like family to me.

What a funny story about granny. I always remember my dad saying “you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.” Praying for pastor Lon, Tina & Giselle.

I want to thank Matt for oyster stew receipt, I went grocery store got a pint @first oyster had 2 pearl's they say it's good luck

🙏 For Pastor Lon, Tina, and Gissel. ((hugs))

Words of wisdom. When my granny and papaw wanted to get married her daddy would not give his consent. She would try to talk to her momma about it and her momma would tell her, your jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. My granny and papaw decided to elope and so one night she wrote her parents a note and it said, " I'm about to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. They were married 40 something years before my grandpa passed away. They had eight kids and a happy life. I miss them both everyday!

Thank you Tipper! Love you❤

Tipper I had to stop your video and watch Paul and your Daddy sing. It sure touched my heart. My prayers are with everyone you mentioned. We are a needy people for sure. Prayer is the only thing we can do.

We finally been getting some rain now and it has cooled off a little. Prayers for all. My dad and grandpa used to play the fiddle and they played guitar and banjo too. My uncle played the dobro. They played by ear. Sadly I never learned to play. Great words of wisdom. Yall have a blessed night.

My mom used to tell me when I'd wish for something we couldn't afford "if wishes were horses we'd all take a ride." She'd also tell me if I was being hateful, "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar".

I’m always running out the door when you come on live, so I miss the live feed. Thankful I catch the video later on when I can sit down after getting things done. Fun video. I think I’ve heard most all the wisdom sayings people leave. Thanks for sharing them all.

Memory /wisdom:The movie White Christmas came out when I was young, and my father would sing to us the song “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sleep”. Such a good message (and movie) 70 years later!! And then I saw something similar that I love - “It’s important to realize you are living inside one of your answered prayers while you wait for your next one. There’s always a place for gratitude.” Have a blessed week!!

Really enjoyed todays video. I always have to watch in the evening because of work. Thanks for sharing your life through videos with us it’s very honest and heartfelt

We love you too Tipper❤️❤️❤️

My Great Aunt Philomene used to say...Louis..it aint eatin no bread...when there was something in her garage that I thought should be thrown away but she wanted to still keep it..
