Happy New Year to all your family from a SNOWY NEVADA I have 12 inches it is beautiful from inside looking OUT.
Finishing up the holidays. :My sister & I (both live alone) kept in touch this afternoon texting about our favorite OSU nearly losing the Rose Bowl. Have to put Christmas stuff away yet.
Now I want to thank you &all the BP&A family for a year ful of information & enjoyment. Reading to us on Friday has been a special treat.
May your New Year be a good one!
Happy New Year Everyone! Today has been a wonderfully blessed day. I cooked up a lot of the traditional foods, they all turned out real good! My family members came and enjoyed the meal and precious time with us. We are all well, healthy, and happy, and are members of the Family of God, because of our Lord and Savior. Today I don’t have room in my heart for any kind of bad ways, even though I realize the world is full of evil. Today is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it. I’m thankful for the BP&A and for the Presleys and Wilsons. What a good difference you’ve all made in my life. Thank you for the laughter, happy tears, sharing, good recipes, reading to me, and all the good things you’ve shared! Ya’all sure are good workers! I love you all very very much. May the Lord bless you all real real good.
Wishing you and your family Peace, Good Health, and all good things in 2022!
Happy New Year to all BP&A community. Tipper, I hope 2022 brings as many blessings to you and your family as y’all have given us. I happily look forward to all y’all’s post and videos, they bring a bright spot to my day. It’s like a mini family reunion.
God Bless
I had the stomach bug yesterday so no partying for me or hubby. I am better today. Just drank some bone broth and am feeling fine. I watched the girls “driving in the South” new year’s video. That was great. They are so delightful and candid. May you all have a great year, great weather, great health, great gardens and a wonderful time ahead with the wedding. Nannic
I began watching your videos on YouTube at the beginning of covid, Tipper, although I have never left a comment. It just seems right to leave you one today at the beginning of the year and tell you how much I look forward to your posts and your families’ posts.
I garden, can, love the ocean, and love the mountains. My husband and I went to college at Western Carolina ages ago and we live in the high country, so I am familiar with places that you talk about.
Thank you for your channel and BP&A, they ground me in these uncertain days.
I absolutely love Friday nights when I can “check back in with Louisa”! Since we are coming to the end of the book, I am hoping that you choose another to continue this weekly chapter reading. I had forgotten how much I loved being read to.
Happy New Year to the family and I can’t wait to hear the wedding plans which is happening on my birthday, March 12!
Violet-thank you. So glad you enjoy what I do 🙂
The sound of shotguns rang out through last night’s crisp, fresh air, announcing the midnight hour. Happy New Year to the Blind Pig & Acorn family and all the readers!!!
Happy New Year to the BP gang, and may the coming year bring you more blessings than you can count. Happy New Year to all the readers I have had the pleasure of sharing comments with. It takes a great group of people to love their roots in Appalachia enough to hunt up a blog that is totally dedicated to celebrating all the good that is our beautiful Appalachia.
Happy New Year to you and your family and to everyone!
Happy New Year to all the BPA families and readers! May God bless us all with a happy, healthy, safe and fun year in 2022!
May God’s Grace and blessings be upon us all.
Happy New Year! I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful group. We don’t know what 2022 holds for us – but we know who holds us! May our Lord bless you and your family ❤️
Happy new year. I sure enjoy your channel.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
Happy New Year to you and your family, praying for a better year.
Happy New Year to the BP gang and all the readers! After finding this page late in the year, it has became a big part of my morning routine. May the Good Lord shed His blessings on each and everyone in this coming year!
Have a wonderful new year!!
Happy New Year to the Blind Pig family and all of the Appalachian-loving readers on here! Don’t forget to eat your corned beef and cabbage, greens, black-eyed peas, and anything else the tradition says that will make you healthy, wealthy, and wise!
Happy new year!
I’m looking forward to another year of reading, watching, listening and learning from you and your family.
Happy new year!
Happy New Year Pressley/ Wilson clan!!! Here’s wishing you only good things for 2022!!! And to all the BP&A readers- here’s wishing you a wonderful and better New Year in 2022!! God bless you all.
Happy New Year! May 2022 be a year of blessings for all your family!
Happy New Year to each and all of the BP&A folks starting with Wilsons and Pressleys and all of theirs then outward to each and every commenter and reader. You all are a good community to be part of.
Happy and Healthy New Year to you, yours and all the Celebrate Appalachia and Blind Pig family ❤
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! GOD BLESS you and your family thru 2022! Tipper they were shooting fire crackers and guns here in Clyde, NC last night, it didn’t bother me but my meN vicious pit bull Mae Mae got scared to death about kilt me and momma trying to get her 80 pounds under the cover.
The Hooper family would like to wish EVERYONE a HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year to all! We have a whole new year of the Blind Pig coming right up!
Happy New Year to you Tipper and your whole family. We lift you up in prayer in our morning time – grace, mercy, blessings, and a hedge of protection from evil. We lift up your mother especially – she is a sweet soul.
I am excited about the days ahead! I don’t have any New Year’s resolutions, I am just continuing to make each new day the best that I can! Life will always have its peaks and valleys. I do like to have a general plan for projects that I am doing. Written goals, and the steps I need to take to reach them, gives me clarity for my daily to-do lists, and those keep me moving in the direction I want to be going. I look forward to each new day because it is a fresh start. Everyday has joy in it, even when I have to look a little harder for something to be thankful for on a not so good day. There is always something to be found that is truly a blessing. Thank you for your hard work, Tipper! You, your family, and the people who comment on all three of your family’s channels and this blog, are daily blessings to me. Happy New Year! God is so good. Without Him, I would have nothing. He is truly my Rock and my Salvation. My abundance in life is from Him. My true riches are not tangible by the world’s view. Eternity in Heaven with Him is where my wealth lies. And that is what makes everyday exciting to walk through!
