It has been so nice to have Granny home. It’s been pretty nice to sleep in my own bed too. I know Steve and Paul feel the same way I do—happy Granny is feeling better and happy we are all sleeping in our own beds and eating in our own kitchens.
Granny is slowly regaining her strength and working on gaining some of the weight she lost back. She is still pretty weak, but doing better every day.
All of us being back to our normal lives has made me feel like I’m living a peppy fiddle tune.
A couple of months ago the girls uploaded a video of the fiddle tune “Bay of Fundy.” It’s cheery notes fit my mood perfectly.
I hope you enjoyed the fiddle tune and I hope you have a great day!

Tipper, I am so glad to hear that Granny is home and improving. I have been a subscriber of your You Tube channel, and your daughters’ channel for a while and love both. I am just now looking at your blog also. I am from Arkansas. Your family reminds me so much of my own when I was growing up. I believe my grandparents moved to Arkansas from the Caroline area somewhere. The music was a big deal in my family. My dad and his brothers and nephews would gather up at somebody’s house and play for hours and hours on the weekends and whenever two of them got together they were picking or talking about picking. Watching your family takes me back to my childhood.
Glad to hear Granny is home and recovering. The “Bay of Fundy” tune is delightful! I’ve been there twice, and it truly is an amazing place. We stayed in St. Martin near the sea caves. You can walk to them at low tide, but you’d better be out when the tide comes in. Boats in the little harbor literally hang from their moorings at low tide, and the fishing boats have to wait till the water’s high enough to dock. A local showed us where to find a trail on top of the caves; quite a view. Depending on the time of year, the tides can be up to 50 ft, and they come in fast.
Happy times we all can be grateful for! Thanking God and may He continue to bless us more !!
I am just as happy as you are that Granny is home and doing better!!! Granny and her family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. The girls’ fiddle tune is absolutely delightful
Happy Sunday! Thanking God for a good report on Granny and that she is now home recovering! Love the happy fiddle tune! The girls did great! It made me feel so happy and yes tapping my toes too.
So glad Granny home here is for her. Hospital food not good at them places loved the girls playing. How are you
Ricky-I am well. I hope you are too 🙂
So happy that Granny is home & getting so much better! Praise the Lord! Thank you girls for that happy tune y’all played for us today! Your whole family is a blessing & gift to us!
Hubby and I have been watching you all on youtube for some time. We really enjoy it!! And it is good news that Granny is back home again and everyone can rest more at home too!! Lovely that your family is musically talented…that can help tie a family together!! Loved hearing the girls play here too!!
I’m so thankful Granny is home and you are too. The saying is true…”There’s no place like home.” We’ve been to the Bay of Funday in New Brunswick. An amazing place. Fiddle music is just about my favorite.
I am so happy Granny is home! I was hoping some of Katie’s strawberry dessert, which looked so good, was offered to Granny and, of course, cornbread! The talents of the girls never ceases to amaze, and that happy tune just seemed perfect to celebrate Granny’s return. God love them, God love Paul, Tipper, Matt, Steve, and Ira. You are all loved more than you know.
So glad Granny’s doing better and everyone is back home. Continued prayers for all of you.
Sunday Blessing on you and all your family, Tipper. It is a wonderful time when family is back together again – sitting around their tables, in their own homes, surroundings, and beds. Loved the music and as I was listening I thought those wee boys will grow up just as musical, as they have been listening to their mama’s playing even while in their tummy’s. Have a great day and coming week.
Loved the peppy tune!! It’s a wonderful feeling when you can get in your own bed at night and also know that your family is all safe and asleep in their beds too. Praying Granny gets stronger with each day and so happy that things are beginning to settle down a bit. Have a wonderful Sunday!!
So very glad Granny is back home in the holler; prayerfully wishing her continued healing and regaining her strength. Nothing like one’s own bed, rambling around in the kitchen, or jus’ standing at the front door or on the porch and enjoying the fresh smells of spring and air that drifts in to make the healin’ quicker. Our best to Granny and all the family during this time of recovery …. In our prayers!
Granny being home is such a blessing! I know your all happy she’s home and yourselves as well. So much change going on in your mountain holler it’s so wonderful for Corie and Austin to be there, having Granny home and the sweetest little nugget Ira, just a wonderful time. Now it’s garden time! I know it’s wonderful for you to have your family just steps away. Prayers for granny’s continued recovery.
So glad Granny and ya all are back home and Granny is getting stronger! God Bless and keep you!
Tipper,
I am elated that Granny is home and regaining her strength! Happy you, Paul and Steve are home and things are getting back to normal. Thanks to Matt and Kori for stepped up with the videos, cooking etc. while you were with Granny.
Continue to pray for sweet Granny, Wilson and Pressley families.Happy Sunday! H.H,
That sure was a peppy tune played by some pretty and talented girls. I’m so glad Granny is continuing to improve! My friend used to make her mom a daily peanut butter milkshake after she lost weight due to an illness. Her doctor said the shakes provide important nutrients and are guaranteed to put the weight back on.
Happy Sunday!
So happy everyone is safe at home and sleeping in their own beds. Continued prayers for Granny and the entire family. ❤️❤️
The Bay of Fundy was a great and cheerful fiddle tune for sure, but I think a Bay of Fun sounds like a great place to jump right in and stay forever!!! A hillbilly can dream can’t she? Lol. I do want to thank the feller from up north for the scoop on the real Bay of Fundy as I am all the less ignorant for it!… God bless y’all and May granny be cutting the mustard here before we know it!!!! In Jesus name-thank you, Lord and Amen!!! Too smart to plant in WV just yet, but soon… I see cold and rain creeping around the corners…
I know one more person that’s relieved that Granny is once again in her element and he is me!
It’s so good to hear that Granny is back home and doing better. Enjoyed the tune that the girls did. They are really talented.
Have a blessed day
Enjoyed the Bay of Fundy fiddle tune very much! Bay of Fundy is an interesting place to visit.
From what you’ve written about your mother, she has the determination in getting her strength back!
Everyone have a great Sunday. Blessings to all.
I see. Your heart sings to be home again and have Granny home. We are so glad for you. And within that music just now is also a voice of your love of Appalachian people and things.
Loved the tune! Goes great with my morning coffee!
Tipper, I’m so happy that Granny is doing better everyday and you all are back home . I know you was missed by all of us and especially by Matt, Katie, Corie, Ira, you could see it in every video they uploaded and on their faces they love you so much. They sure stepped up and took over doing the videos but you could hear the sadness in their voices that you wasn’t there with them and the worry about Granny. They did you proud and that’s why they uploaded the content and wanted you to see that they was keeping the home running as smoothly as they could without you there and then how happy they were fixing you supper when they knew you was coming home for a couple of days it was so sweet them asking if you liked it that brought me to tears them just wanting to please you. If everyone had a family like yours the world would sure be a better place. Sending you all love and peace on this Glorious Sunday ️
God is truly good!
The Gawler Family plays that tune often.

Two branches of my family lived beside the British Ft. Cumberland at the head of the Bay of Fundy. The Reynolds had come up from Boston in 1760 to settle on land recently cleared of French Acadians. My ancestor was still a toddler when his fater and older brothers joined a band of Patriots who unsuccessfully tried to seize the fort to turn Nova Scotia into the 14th colony joining the American Revolution. The escaped to the Passamaquoddy area at the lower end of the Bay of Fundy. Private Billy Budd from Fishkill, New York was on the otherside in that war, part of a militia of loyal Americans keeping the British troops in NY city supplied with beef, the origins of the term “cowboys”, though even back then the term had more than one meaning. When the Brits surrendered thousands of Loyal Americans were transported to the Fay of Fundy. Billy and his fellow soldiers were taken to Ft. Cumberland, where he met and married a local girl. Their first child Esther is my direct ancester. The family soon moved down the Bay of Fundy after the Province of Nova Scotia was split in halfnear Ft. Cumberland to form the Loyalist colony of New Brunswick. The Budds relocated to the lower end of the Bay of Fundy where my patriot relations settled the west side in what became Maine, and the loyalist relatives farmed the east side, which became Canada. Those two former enemies were soon intermarrying. The Bay of Fundy has incredible tides and Passamaquoddy is filled with islands and features that make it one of the most magical and beautiful parts of Maine and New Brunswick. The tdies and islands also make that part of the Bay of Fundy a smuggler’s paradise.
Mike-Fascinating information! Thank you 🙂
That certainly was a cheery tune to listen to this morning. The girls playing is always so sweet. It’s a beautiful morning here in the mountains of WV. We had some rain last night which was great for our garden—but I see blue sky peeking through the clouds—so hopefully the sun is gonna shine soon. I hope you have a beautiful day in Wilson Holler today as well. I wish you a super happy birthday my friend. Take care and God Bless!
I love hearing the girls play! Its so great that Granny is regaining her strength and is home recovering. I’m sure all of you are overjoyed to be home. continued prayers for all! God bless you and yours❤❤
