About a year after my Momma was diagnosed with dementia i was cleaning her room and found a tiny little book on the floor under her bed. She wrote in it things i love doing and wish i could still do. I can't no more because to don't remember much most of the time. Cooking, singing with all 8 of my children, swimming, ice skating, watching tumble weeds on the prairie, visiting my pa and ma but i will be with them soon, arguing with papaw ( my daddy ), playing in snow drifts and the list goes on and on. I sat on her bed heartbroken for her but was so glad she was still having glimpses of memories. I went down stairs and asked her about it she told me she just wanted to write it all down for when she forgets. We lost her about 6 months later. I now have that little book and it is an absolute treasure to me
Dementia is so terrible. God bless you and may God care for your mother now.
What a treasure! I'm so glad she wrote it down!!
Oh my heart!❤
so sweet. What treasured memories she had❤
Oh that just has me bawlin. What a blessing to have that book to treasure. I'm sorry for your loss. I bet she was a wonderful woman.
I thought that said “possum” frappe lol 😂❤
Me too!!! I had to re read it real quick!!’😂😂😂😂
I did too!
I thought, “Possum Frappe?? These folks are REAL country!!😂
Me too 👍🤣❤️
I thought “Possum Flop” ….
Tipper, you are such a treasure. You are not just an Appalachian treasure, but a National treasure. God bless you in all you do.
Wow, thank you!
Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa on the newest grandson.
I'm only 61, but that beautiful writing touched my heart! You get more nostalgic as you grow older, it seems... Thanks for the video! 🎉
Sweet Miss. Cindy 💖😇
🤗
Tipper, I enjoyed the nostalgic visit this evening. Sometimes I feel like that too. I'm remembering the fun times swimming in my grandparents farm pond and cooking hot dogs on a stick and marshmallows on the 4th of July. Hope you all have a blessed 4th. God bless you and your family and God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤️.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊 Love those memories 😊
missing seeing and hearing Mat in the last few videos...hope he is well...I so enjoy listening to you read especially nostalgic things or stories full of old times and old ways...it makes me long for the days gone by but if I spend much time thinking it makes me sad and that isnt a good place for me to be because I live alone so no one here to snap me out of the duldrums....please be mindful of how much time you and Mat are out in the heat--no amount of food or flowers is worth having a heat stroke continued blessings on each one of you
I took a trip back to my hometown, not far from you, and showed my daughter my grade school, and the houses that I lived in growing up. I was so glad to see that all but one of them was still there!! It did my heart good, to be able to step back for a short time, into my childhood. Such wonderful memories, and I was so glad to be able to share that with my daughter. 🙏🏻🥺
That is so wonderful! She will look back on that with such fond memories of you 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia the house that was missing, was the one where my grandmother lived. I remember that front porch, with a swing, and neighbors walking up to the porch to talk to my mom and grandmother. We later lived in that house. The one thing they couldn’t take away, was the creek that ran past the back yard. We took pictures of all the houses. I wouldn’t have changed my childhood, in the south, for anything.
Hi Tipper, I enjoyed this so much! Like you I am sentimental, even hearing a Whippoorwill can bring me to tears, it’s such a powerful memory of sound from when I was little. I just turned 70 and the time I grew up in was a sweet time. Lightening bugs, playing in the woods, a little country church and dinner on the ground, most young people today don’t know what that is, the smells of my mama cooking. It is indeed bittersweet and sends me down memory lane to dwell there a while if only in my memories, of which I’m so thankful to God to have. After you read John Parris I went on Amazon and bought the book, can’t wait to go down his memory lanes! Though I don’t live in the mountains I love them, I didn’t have the mountains but I had the woods! Thank you and God bless you and yours. I really enjoy your and the girls videos. 🙏🏻
Love your memories 😊
When I worked, I drank hot postum during the week, real coffee on the weekend.
That’s great 😊
Please don’t apologize for reminiscing. It’s those memories that have formed us and make us who we are. I enjoy hearing about your family, neighbors, a simpler way of life. Your memories help trigger mine. Thank you Tipper. 😊
I love hearing stories about old times. Reminds me of the stories my grandparents told me.
I do too 😊
This touched me so much ❤ almost every video you do seems to bring back a flood of memories and emotions from my childhood (and in my mind, I’m talking to you telling what I’m feeling )❤ I’m 72 lived in Florida for 20 years now, but I will always be a country girl from the hollows of North Carolina in foothills of Blue Ridge Mountains …I was 52 when I met my wonderful husband and moved here, but I dare say not anybody that grew up here knows much of the old ways you speak of and still do….my friends are amazed how I cook, fried taters in bacon grease, pintos & cornbread…I recently did fried cabbage in bacon grease and they really loved it and took all the leftovers home…lol..sorry Tipper, I didn’t mean to write a book…
Prayers for Granny and for your “growing family “❤ I may watch this one over a few times just to listen to you read that again
So glad you enjoyed it Brenda! I love your memories 😊
Our churn sat in the kitchen corner with a white cloth over the top. It was my job to churn every Saturday and make buttermilk and butter.bwe had a wooden paddle that I shaped the butter with. No buttermilk or butter like that. They were so good! Mama would make her delicious rolls and to put that butter on one was heaven. Later on mama made kraut in that churn.
I'm 67 (female) and still carry a small knife. Always have as long as I can remember. Pleasant video before the 4th July. I think it was appropriate.
Thanks for sharing Tipper!
Nothing tastes better than a cool drink of water out of a tin dipper! My little Granny had one hanging by the sink in the kitchen....I too have one now.....hanging in my bathroom just for looks....I miss that little Granny...
I have my grandmother’s diaries dating back to 1938. A lot of the same feelings about the way life was lived back then compared to the way we live today. I think they had much richer lives.
I used to drink Postum with my Grandma Margaret. Coffee upset her stomach. I really enjoyed it. It had the same taste as coffee for me. Thank you for another great video, Tipper. It's always fun spending time with you and yours!
Love those memories 😊
We drank postum most of my childhood Tipper. We were very strict vegetarian healthy diet. But, my mothers family where I lived til age 7 and every summer and holiday forward ate pork, beef, poultry, dairy from cousins, cow, etc also I drank non homogenized milk. Postum is a comfort drink for me.
P.S. I think I mean straight from the cow. Not pastureized
My grandparents drank Postum when I was a child so the thought or it takes me right back to wonderful mornings in their sunny yellow kitchen. I may have to purchase some, as I am also unable to drink coffee. Miss Cindy seems like she was a wonderful lady and contributed significantly to your life. You and your family are a blessing to us!
My grandparents did, too, and that was in the 1920's. Postum has been around for over 100 years!
@@Liffster Did you join them? I did and it made me feel all grown-up.
Memories of days gone by. Such a lovely story you shared.
Love hearing these readings. They remind me of things my mom used to talk about when she was growing up.
I know my great grandma had postum in the kitchen maybe she drank it as coffee, I’m 80 now so I have forgotten a lot but you seem to make me remember. Thank you Tipper
At 70 there have been so many changes in my lifetime that I do cherish the moments a memory suddenly pops to mind. Some are sweet, some are sad but I love that all touch my heart in different ways. Thanks for reading us something from John Parris. Thanks to you he has become a favorite writer to me.
I just love you, Tipper! You always seem to post just what I need to hear when I'm feeling kinda down. And your voice is so soothing to my troubled mind. I know it's after 4am on July 4th now, and this has been a rough day for me. I fell in the hall about 2am on July 1st & it was a struggle to get up to say the least. Thank God my son was here and heard me fall and I finally managed with his help & the grace of God to get up and get to my bed. The weird thing is that I was using my walker & had gone to the kitchen with it to get something to drink. Then yesterday, I was crying, missing Larry, and decided to drive to the Cemetery. I stayed quite awhile there, watching the solar lights on several graves come on. It was beautiful and peaceful. I was coming up the road to my house and stopped by my great-niece's to chat for a minute and see my sweet 2yr old great-great nephew! He is adorable! As I went to back out of the driveway, I don't really know what happened, but I tried to brake & my car just backed into the bank on one side of the road and spun me over into the ditch on the other side! I was able to finally stop & put it in gear to come on up the hill to my house. It jarred me pretty bad, so I'm in a lot of pain and not able to rest. You know you're old when you go to bed smelling like ben-gay! Lol! I don't know how bad or if I messed my car up. My son tried to check it but it was too dark, so we'll look it over later today. I feel I should've just stayed home! But it had rained pretty heavy right after I decorated his grave and I wanted to make sure everything was ok. It was, just his name tag had come off the flowers somehow. It was still laying right close to the flowers so I was able to fix it back, hopefully tighter. Thank you so much for seeming to always "be there" when I need you! Little Woody is so sweet & Corie just glows! It will be awesome when he & Ira can get out and play together! I know you & Matt & Granny are going to have a wonderful time watching them grow! Katie is just amazing too! I pray God blesses y'all immensely and sending hugs to all from VA!! 🙏❤️🩹✝️
Bless you Debbie!! I hope you get to rest up and the soreness will go away. I know you miss Larry so much. I'm still praying for God to comfort you!! We appreciate all you do for us!!
I completely understand those wistful, nostalgic moments! I find myself having them more frequently the older I get. Thanks Tipper!
Oh how I miss the old ways Ms. Tipper. Much love from Appalachia Kentucky.
When you see my🦋🦋🦋 know that I’m showing love and appreciation to you!!! 🦋🦋🦋
Love that!
The written word is so very important. As a retired English teacher, I always preached to "Turn off your TV. Tune into your library." I have Parris' book. It is still available, but you will pay dearly. Remember, "Readers are leaders." Teach your grandkids the value of books. This was just lovely. Thank you!
I always enjoy when you read to us. ❤
Yes a beautiful writing from John Paris. I live in Alabama and we do still have cake walks, when we have church events or festival or Halloween party's at schools.
Tipper, I finally got to ordering your cookbook and I can’t tell you how pleased I am with it and being able to treasure these recipes and pass them down in my family. I’m not from Appalachia but I grew up eating some similar meals especially anything garden related. Your home and style reminds me so much of my growing up I almost feel like I fit right in. I’m probably about the age of your daughters too. You have given me a source of joy I look forward to on a daily basis now, thank you Tipper!
I’m so glad you like it! Thank you 😊
My family and I watch your channel from New Brunswick, Canada. We just live you and Matt. And we watch your girls channel too. You are a dear sweet lady. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!!
Tipper, I grew up reading John Parris’ columns. His books are things I treasure, reading again and again. Am going to pick up some Postem at Ingles and give it a try. Coffee just doesn’t sit right with me as I’m aging. Thank you for this reading. Enjoy your family and garden this 4th of July weekend 😊
Memories provoked! My Dad loved Postum and I now have a jar on my kitchen bar in his memory. Will try your Frappe. As a lad I carried a pocket knife, not a Barlow, maybe a Case. We played a knife game called "Mumble Peg" where the knife tip first touched various parts of the body like finger tips, and then flipped to stick into the ground. A succession of these successful flips would win the game, when first person got to the last body part.. THE LOOSER HAD TO PULL A SMALL STOBB OUT OFTHE GROUND WITH HIS TEETH.

You are such a soothing presence and I’m thankful for you
AMEN, a lot of us feel that way.
You are so kind! Thank you 😊
Growing up we were brought up on Jesse Stuart. His books are about Appalachia in Kentucky. New Harvest is the last one I read. I enjoyed his books more as a adult. You know how kids don't appreciate things until later. Thanks for your reading from John Parish.
I’m 56 and remember cake walks! My Mom loved them it seemed like she’d always bring home a couple cakes or goodies when she’d do a cake walk! At a church carnival recently they had a pickle walk for the kids! I thought that was cute! Thanks Tipper for a great video 🎉❤
I enjoyed your reading and the nostalgic mood. Thanks for memory lane
Have a great day and enjoy the 4th😊
Thank you! You too!
Hey Tipper, you get as nostalgic as you want. It's a nice emotion to have. Love y'all. God bless.
When you mentioned the sounds we remember, what immediately popped into my mind was the screech of the spring stretching when you opened an old-fashioned wooden screen door. Stores and houses both had those. That would be followed by the bang as the spring shut the door.
Uh-oh, now I'm starting to get nostalgic.
I like both your and John Parrish's lists.
I definitely want to try the Postum frappe. In the hot weather, I was thinking that a cold coffee drink would hit the spot, but a cold Postum drink sounds even better.
My grandma used to drink Postum and when I visited her, she would make me some, too. Mine was mostly milk and was served in my own special little china teacup with saucer. I felt so grown up.
I love the sound of a screen door too 😊
I haven't thought about Postum in years. My dad started drinking it after he gave up coffee. I don't remember ever tasting it, much less drinking it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love my Barlow knife. In my family it was a rite of passage to be given a pocketknife from Granddad
All looking good enjoy those new babies and have a safe 4 th God bless you all
I love his writing! I can’t wait to read this book❤
I hope I never have to give up coffee cause I love it! And my grandma drinks postum sometimes instead of coffee. -Greg
Oh my. Tipper I can’t have coffee either because it sets my heart racing so I drink Postum too and I love it. I think it has a touch of molasses in it. It’s so good. I love the nastalgia too. I just loved the book about quilts. I learned how to sew but never got into quilting. It might be a new adventure. Thank you for sharing the stories of Appalachia. Helps me to drift back and remember my family from NC and TN area near the Hiawassee Dam.
m y late mama loved Postum. Thanks for the sweet memories this post sent me too.
I wish I had a mom like you! Your videos are so enjoyable, interesting, and fun to watch! 😊
Oh you are so kind. Thank you 😊
Me too.
I'm the same age as you Tipper, but I sure would've loved you for a mum 🙂
Me and family used to sat around a fire and drink postum love it ❤❤❤❤
I remember my Grandmother having Postum in her pantry. I can still remember the pattern of the curtain that hung over the doorway to it. And especially the aroma of that old pantry full of food ☺️ Such fond memories. I think I'm going to check our Ingle's or Walmart out for Postum. Maybe I'd like it instead of coffee. I thought today was Friday when you started reading 😅 The days are flying by for sure. I can't believe it's already July. Have a wonderful evening Tipper. Give Granny a big old hug for me. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄🇺🇲
There is a country music song that says" I miss back when". I like that song, because I do too. While I don't remember everything the song writer does, I miss mostly, listening to my older relatives conversations, and lots of childhood things. Those were the good times.🙂❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing your recipe and your reading! Loved it! You are such a blessing! God bless
you! 😀❤️
Tipper, I've had the Postum drink. Delicious and good for you! I will have to start making the drink and drink it daily! My husband's great aunts, aunt Mary and aunt Tiphaine ( southern belles, RIP) used to make it during the summer months back in the 90's when we visited. They lived in Chapel Hill, NC. Speaking of WW ll food shortage, it was during WW ll, in Italy, that the famous Tiramisu cake was created. There was a shortage of flour and eggs for baking cakes or cookies so the ladies of the house used stale lady fingers soaked in coffee, sugar, and cream from their cows milk to make pudding for the cake.The story goes that the creator of the Tiramisu cake lived on a farm and owned cows. My mother remembers as a little girl back in the 50's, her mother making the Tiramisu. Many decades later the dessert became a hit in restaurants here in America. Love your videos, Tipper! Warm regards. :-)🌹🌺🌸🌹🌻
Thank you!
Up here in the northeast, we had a restaurant named Friendlys. They've mostly closed now but they made a drink called a frappe. Now, up here, we don't use the French pronunciation you use Tipper (we don't pronounce the "E" at the end), but it's the same drink, just made with ice cream and/or sherbet, and it was delicious. I remember Postum from my childhood when there was still a shortage of coffee due to WWII. Yup, I'm an old lady. I love your videos as I've said before. Thanks for all you do.
That was a lovely post. Thank you for sharing with us Tipper.
Happy 4th of July Tipper and family. Love hearing anything from the past. I think time was simple then and folks cared about others.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I haven't seen Postum since I was a kid ❤ Daddy drank it. Ty for sharing 😊
❤❤❤Tipper, i had that same Vita-mix. I loved it. Times changed. We moved, started Rving so I had to get rid of it. It was a work horse.
This drink that you just made would be good made into a popsicle like the Outshine bars you eat. Looks delicious. I will have to try it.
Great story.
I understood that Postum was no longer produced by Post company. It stopped being available here about 20 years ago. I am thrilled to hear they are making it again. I drank it because of fibrous breast problems. I never drank it with sugar.
My Mom drank Postum at times. I tried it, but it couldn’t compare to real coffee. Now that I’m much older, I might like it. I’ll have to give it a try. Your Frappee sounded and looked delicious. Enjoyed the reading. It was nostalgic for me, for the things I remember from my childhood and the things my Mom told me about her childhood. Thank you for sharing❣️
I learned to swim in a place called Cornbread Bottom, which was part of the Kaskaskia River in Illinois. As you might guess, the bottom was as smooth as the crust on top of cornbread.
So nice what a good video ❤ from Canada 🍁
My Mama was from Waynesville and her and her aunt always drank Postum❤
Thank you Tripper ,made me think about my child hood and all the fun things we did growing up lot of the same as you Happy 4th of July to you all.God Bless ❤
Loved the reading, Tipper. Just beautiful. I will look for John Parris books now at my local thrift book store. Thank you.
When I glanced at the title I just knew it said possum frappe 😯... it's funny how many thoughts can flash through your mind 🤣
Wonderful poem! Thanks Tipper 🤗❤️
😊
A classic example of how your eyes trick your mind. You see what you expect to see. As an old OB nurse, plus given what’s going on in Tipper’s family, I automatically saw “postpartum.”
I read it as possum frappe 😂😂
@@Fdt172 I went there too!🤭
I loved this ❤. Reminds me of Kenny Rogers Christmas song, Homemade Christmas in Kentucky. Thank you … ♥️
Thanks for sharin the Postum Frappe recipe with us Tipper! My family never grew up drinkin coffee because it's against our religion. However, years ago when I was young, some of us drank Postum. I always liked it but forgot about it as time went on. I'm going to try the recipe. It looks yummy! I also liked the story you read.
My grandmother used to drink a cup of Postum every morning. Such good memories of mornings with her. ❤
I enjoyed the story by John. Enjoy your frappe!
My grandmother, born before 1900 drank Postum
My mom passed this past Wednesday & I’ve been being very nostalgic these days. Love your videos, they remind me of my family a lot. Mama liked watching them before went downhill so badly. Thank you for sharing your family with us. ♥️
I'm so sorry you lost her. I will pray for you during this hard time. I'm glad we remind you of your family and good times!!
Your reafing reminded me of a poem i wrote a few years ago.
Ghost Of Memories
The longer we live somewhere
The more the empty spaces
Fill with ghost,
Ghost of memories.
Of a little boy reading to his mom.
Of a little girl giggling with delight
A husband holding your hand.
A sister singing the blues
Of children grown and gone
Of grandchildren yet to come
Of parents once there
A birthday wish come true
A child's first Christmas,...
First step
Your first sale
There first date
Memories of happy times
Memories of sad times
Memories of days gone by
Memories not yet made.
A Not Quite Good Poem
By The Not Quite Good Poet
❤
I think it is excellent. You should write more
I love it! Thank you for sharing it with us 😊
You turned me on to Post-Um, then I found out from my grandpa that my great-grandmother used to drink it! I had my wife try it and she didn’t mind it but I think she’d really like it in a frappe (she’s a Starbucks fiend). Forgot about that Post-Um Cake, think I’ll make that and add it to the dessert table this weekend for the holiday!
I've not thought of drinking postum in years. My mom used to drink it and sometimes I would have a cup with her. Not bad at all.
Tipper, this was a beautiful video. Thank you❤️
I remember Postum. I’m going to try your frappé recipe with coffee!
my wife had a similar digestive problem. drinking drip coffee most of her life but problem emerged in her late 40s. switched to whole beans, ground fresh daily and she uses a stovetop percolator. boils out the acid, etc. she drinks 2 cups daily and has no issues at all. fresh perc'd coffee makes the house smell great too.
I enjoyed the John Parris story. Most every boy in school had a pocket knife. We had sense enough to know what it was used for and to not misuse it. It's a shame the way things have become in many ways. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
❤always enjoy you reading, making a recipe, and being nostalgic!😊❤ i love you like a sister that i never had!
Thank you Debbie! Happy to be your sister 😊
I Enjoyed the Video Tipper!! ❤Rembering as You Read John Paris's Book about So Many Old Times Gone but Still in My Memories.. I loved my Hometown as A Child and I Always Followed My Dad Everywhere.. So Heard the Stories & Saw some of things You mentioned!! My Dad was Very Much Nostalgic as I AM Too. ❤ I remember My Mom Telling of Pie walks/Cake Walks & even a Plate dinner..Who ever won You Had to Eat the Prize with them. The man that Bid Intentionally High on My Mom's just to get to Eat Her Cooking. She was not fond of the Man (kind of scary she said( 😅 ). I know recently not far from Me they had a Cake Walk to Raise Money. I would have loved to have went but couldn't. The Old Country Store near where I grew Up was One of My Favorite Places.. GOD BLESS & Happy Independence Day..❤
What a wonderful story! Thank you, Tipper!❤️🙏🇨🇦
I haven't been able to find it recently, but in the past I found one that was cocoa flavored. It was delicious wish I could find it again.
Happy 4th! Thank you for sharing joy!
This was a touching video. Thank you❤.
Good read and drink.God Bless. 💚& 🙏🙏's for Granny and all. Jean
Thanks for the introduction to Postum. Definitely going to try this.
Oooh I think I'd like that frappe'. Looks delicious!😋 ❤
Hi tipper, thank you for your reply and answering my question. Happy 4th of July! Have a great day! Much love and peace! Ruth 💖 💖 💖 xoxo
Looks delicious!!! Those were the good Ole days. I haven't seen a cake walk here in years. We got some rain but are still really dry. Praying you get some. Yall have a blessed night.
Looks very good!❤
My Mama always loved a cake walk!! We used to have them at elementary school at the fall festivals.
I loved that reading Tipper!
You got me onto postum,and I will definitely try this💜💜🌞
It's ok to be sentimental. I think as we get older, the more we become that way. Thank you for sharing!!😘😘🙏🙏😀😍😍
What a thoughtful video, and beautiful reading...feeling nostalgic is a good thing.
Tipper you used the expression.." feeling a little less." I never heard that but I assume it means feeling not quite like yourself; a little sad.
