Ever wondered what Jim was like as a boy???? // A visit with Jim's Mom!

[@amcorke]

What a dear lady! You're so lucky to still have your Mum around.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Yes,made me think of my Mother who raised my 3 brothers and I. She was stern but fair with we children best interests at hand.Mom would be 115 now.

[@territn8871]

Jim, your mom is remarkable to be so active at 88 yrs old!!! How wonderful for you and your siblings to have such a precious mother!!!❤ She is an amazing woman!

[@johnking8679]

As a 82 year old Grandfather, it was great to meet your mom Jim. I have been married for 56 years and my wife is a Registered nurse (Retired) now working as our church Bookkeeper !! I have ALWAYS had a deep respect for Moms !! They are indeed to be respected, and well looked after !! As you know Jim, you have an absolutely fabulous, hard-working wife in Brenda !! Seems that your daughter Abby, takes after her mom and is also an amazingly hard worker !! I love her channel, too !! Keep up your wonderful channel and may God Bless your entire family !! 🙏😄

[@lenireimer3243]

Notice they even got together and wear complimentary colors.--How lovely to meet Jims' mother--what a great idea to hear them reminisce.

[@louisecassidy5991]

I am curious as to that colour coordination. Was it contrived or a coincidence?

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Jim and Brenda, Thank you for the opportunity to meet your wonderful Mom. She is a very kind and talented woman . It was wonderful for to relate to us viewers a few great happenings from Jim's younger days. Jim was born to be a great horseman. Which was generational . The wonderful memory of Jim's Dad Harry, first working with Jim's Brother to learn logging with a porter was great then when Jim graduated from high school Harry switched back to logging with horses so Jim could perfect his knowledge of horse logging . It's so obvious to me that with such wonderful parents .and their example of kindness and support really provided Jim a leg up on life .

[@Munguy-i8j]

All of the lady's in Jim's life are perfect❤❤❤❤.

[@ellyberghoef1866]

What a blessing to hear from Jim’s mom. Her testimony of God’s Faithfulness after her husband passed away is so touching. How remarkable that she is able to lead a support group and Bible Study at her home. What a blessing to you both, Jim & Brenda! Treasure your time with her! Thanks for the extra videos. 💗

[@annsaenz291]

What a beautiful Mother you have Jim. Glad you were able to visit her and siblings plus Levi and the Grandkids along with your daughter in law. You and Brenda are blessed. Have a blessed day 🙏

[@WalterEuniceMoffat]

So nice to see and hear your Mom’s testimony! She is a treasure! God bless you all!

I can see why Brenda loves her so..Thanks for the question and answers..Which is worse on a horses feet cold or muddy and wet feet. God bless. Your mother reminds my grandmother. She was the best cook. 🌹❤️🙏

[@grandpafischer8317]

How nice, glad to see your mom, cherish her as long as possible. Thanks for taking us with y'all out visiting.

[@sueellenbennett7160]

Thank you Brenda and Jim for sharing your lives with us. The flowers will be lovely by the pond. Skippy is exactly how a puppy should behave, I had a Schipperke female and she too was a bundle of energy, as well as a herder. All of the horses that I rescued unconditionally were keepers, though I have retired from rescue, I still have my one and only horse (Alex) Alexander and he just turned 33. God bless you and yours... 🙏🏼

[@toriwolf5978]

Aww love your mom Jim❤you have great family with Brenda And your mom and extended family❤❤love the stories she is so adorable ….please have her on again !!!she is just so so sweet…

It was a joy to meet your beautiful mom, Jim. What a truly lovely lady. You really are all very blessed to still have each other in your lives ❤

[@cedric9839]

She's such a wonderful 💕 woman, blessings to all the Gordon Family.🎉

[@c0lvin4o]

Chicky and I are both 88, love the Lord and His Word,. and attribute long healthy lives to His grace. She is a beautiful Senior, and I note that Jim carries her looks (and I KNOW her Christian faith.) Now Brenda, it's your turn and we will be watching. I believe your Mom lives just up the road. And yes, I love to watch skippy.

[@joycehennequin8469]

No mistaking who Jim's mom is, they look so alike.l would have loved to have seen more of her art work as she's very good.Please send her my best wishes,lovely to meet her a real treat tha k you so much ❤

I love the "non working Jim and Brenda" videos.💖 I absolutely love seeing you both smiling so often. And both of your smiles are beautiful!! 😊Jim, your mom is precious. Brenda, you are remarkable sharing your admiration for your mother in law. You two are beautiful people!! Bless you.💖

[@micheledaniels6409]

This was such a treat. Love listening to the older parents talking about the things they remember and loved ones growing up. Such rich oral histories that sadly are lost all too often. Cherish your older relatives and learn about their lives all you can, you actually will get to a place in life when you wish you would have spent more time. Thanks for sharing and everyone have a great day.

[@johnkomosa9508]

What an Awesome Mom you have, Jim and Brenda! Love the color blouse and the vest, my favorite color. The paintings, owe my,, that tree bending over, was it a white Birch? Wow! She makes it look easy, impressive. Classy Lady. The Apple 🍎 does not fall far from the tree. I need to watch again and add a little more. 😊.

[@Sinopi]

Mom is very stylish! God bless her!

[@suemick8709]

Jim's Mum is lovely. You can clearly see the deep love they have for one another. God bless.

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Hi Jim & Brenda, thanks for taking us along to see you Mum, and a lovely lady she is, and so spiritedly for her age. enjoying the new format, keep it going guys.

[@hayfork100]

I enjoyed meeting Jim's mom. Everyone would be happy to have her in their family. So sharp and pleasant for her age.

[@JamesMcGill-kr2qk]

Now we know why Jim is a good man. His upbringing shows thru his mom. I miss my parents and my in-laws. God has BLESSED the family greatly. Thanks for sharing this video well done. Skippy will learn about the horses and you can see how smart he is.

[@cwise4819]

Jim, Thanks for sharing your Mom and her remembrances with all of us.

[@judyboyle9232]

Imagine having your newspaper delivered by horseback? How cool would have that been?

[@HensOnly]

Your mom is a dear! And she would have such wealth of information to pass down to the kids, grandkids! Cherish every moment you have with her!

[@connieclay5527]

It was so fun and interesting to meet your sweet mom, Jim, and hear her stories and beautiful insights. We love all of your videos and how you and Brenda work together and live your lives! We love watching your horses and how they have such wonderful trust in you. We're so thankful for you both and the peaceful atmosphere of your farm and woods. God bless you and your family.

wow ! Loved this video Jim's mom is a super Lady with a great testimony , how very precious . The more I watch this family the more I am blessed . A great example of Family togetherness at it's best . ☺💞🧡💛💚💙💜💕💥💫

[@BonnieHuntress]

I agree with your mom,I’m 74 and my husband was 87. He passed away in January of this year and I’m doing things now that I never thought I would be doing. Keeping active helps a lot. I too am a quilter and I have been pleased with wonderful friends.

[@jeanhansen3488]

Thanks for you mom’s testimony . It was beautiful; she is beautiful!

[@joqlady888]

you just don't know how much I enjoy ya'lls videos. They are a peace for me in my day.

Hello Jim and Brenda, What a wonderful video with your mother. She is a breath of fresh air. 🌷

[@NotKev2017]

Jim, you got your mother's eyes.

[@PeterMcfarlane-l7v]

Gosh Jim you certainly have a lovely family,your Mum is beautiful Jim and you certainly have your Mums great looks,this is a beautiful interview the love that Jim shows for his Mum is exceptional. I hope all your family and friends are well ,cheers for now PeterMcfarlane Adelaide South Australia xxxxxxx

[@lucdeslauriers1021]

You have a very good mother. Un real treasure. And she is an artist!

[@AbleGoodman]

I LOVE your attitude toward your horses! When you let them live out their entire lives on your farm, they become family. I would do the same. We actually do the same, we just don't have big animals. For us, LG dogs, cats and chickens are it. I don't understand people who don't share our attitude, love and loyalty for their animals. IMO, animals know more than most humans suspect! 🐶🐱🐔❤❤🙏🙏

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

Jim looks like his mother. She looks amazing for 88.

[@RustyMeadowsHomestead]

❤That was a beautiful testimony “Mom”. God bless you.

[@staciewilson5497]

Mr. Jim, your sweet Mumma is beautiful! I see where Abby gets her stunning looks from!

[@jon.landry47]

Jim’s mom is absolutely amazing? I wish her well.

[@louisecassidy5991]

Don't you just love the way Jim looks at his mom? She is a treasure and Jim knows it. Skippy. Herding/training. I bred sheepdogs and hardly had to train them. When the instinct to herd is strong, they cast around and naturally circle. They should not chase, but circle the stock and bring them to you, mostly staying on the opposite side of the stock, holding them to you. You walk or ride away and the dog brings the stock, which seem to be following you. All this happens quite naturally. At some stage the penny drops that they are doing it for you. Then you have a dog. Brenda, if you have time go to dog club. Or watch some training videos. The most important thing is the recall, if nothing else, a pup needs to come when called, and Skippy does, I think. So call him, and make a fuss of praise when he comes. He will respond for the joy of running to you. The most important thing, 'cause if he comes, he's leaving trouble behind. Make it a joy for him to come, make it a game. I never trained with treats, love is enough. Language, the word NO, they learn to interpret whole phrases so speak as you go, as with horses. Greetings from Australia.

[@kenforbes9387]

Chick is still looking great Jim! I look forward to seeing her when I get back.

[@benzoverakers1877]

Love seeing Jim's Mom so young and active!!! Love the Q&A session!!! Blessings

[@davidfrazier7971]

A heritage of pursuing excellence. Keep going Jim

[@donnadoering5125]

Your mom is a wonderful lady and still active doing things she loves. I’m 80 now just had total knee replacement in2023 last one was Oct 25th I’m now out doing flower beds and raking the lawn we have 3/4 acre. The Dr. told me that these things are good for keeping in better shape. So far my knees are great but I can’t kneel down yet it’s too painful. But things will get better with time. Love ❤️ your content and channel. From Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@bookooc5605]

Love Skippy, he has such personality. Great to meet your Mom, she is the age mine would have been. My Dad is still around at 89, and we lost Mom 4 years ago. So happy you still have yours. She seems like a great lady, cherish her! Love these videos!

[@bonblue4993]

You all seem like a wonderful family with great values. I wish you continued success in your life and that your lives will be inspirations to others to live simple but respectful and loving lives. Many blessings to you all!

[@vickiulrich6694]

I thoroughly enjoyed today’s visit with Jim’s mother. She certainly has a grip on life even at her age. I would never worry about what folks might think of your opinions Mom because without God to center and balance us we are directionless…much like the world today! I also wouldn’t get too awful upset and lose any much needed rest over Skippy because as he grows he will settle into farm life. Being part blue heeler will always make Skippy want to herd and guide the farm animals. He’ll learn what the other animals will and won’t tolerate of that I am certain. Brenda…your comments about your mother-in-law were so precious and I’m always glad to hear of good healthy relationships with in-laws but my opinion has always been you get out what you invest in with any relationship. I too had a great mother-in-law who like yours lived a very long life and worked as a librarian up to her 88th birthday. She lived to almost 90. I’m enjoying the extra visits and the content is just fine. Just a little mix to the farm goings on. Looking forward to what might be in the next visit but whatever you share with us…it’ll be good!!!:):):)

[@marykelly7816]

My husband and I watch your KZbin channel and really enjoy you all sharing your farm life with us. God Love you all.

[@debraandersen6895]

Your mom is awesome! Thanks for her testimony!

Such a lovely Mother you have. Thanks for sharing her with us. 👍🙋🏻‍♀️🥰 Love the picture she painted, and her beautiful garden.

[@missbabs1959]

Well, what a refreshing video, your mom is the same age as my mom, and both love the Lord, and both like to work hard, Skippy is fine , and you are doing fine with him, Jim you resemble your mom, and you talk like her, Brenda nothing like having a precious mother in law, I had one also, and miss her dearly

[@petermartinez5573]

Jim is really blessed to still have his mother. My mom passed five years ago at the ripe old age of 92 and life is just not the same without her.

[@ecobouwen]

What a sweet lady. When i see her fragility and softness i thinkbof my mom

[@redcanoe9810]

That's not resourceful...that's being an artist! A wonderful painting!!!

[@arlysdavis3694]

I was blessed with great parents also. And I also was taken out of church and spanked for being too noisy. Thank you for the videos, they are fun.

[@joycecook8876]

How precious your mom is and sweet to see the two of them together. His face as he looked at her as she talked was so loving and he really favors her. Brenda, you and Jim are a delight in our days. We feel like you are our out of town family. We talk about the things you share with us as if you are taking personally to us. 😂❤

[@Nancy-1249B]

Thank you for letting us meet your mom Jim. Will we get to meet Brenda's parents?.

[@1954israel]

What a great video with Jim's mom. She is such a sweet lady.

[@henrydeyoung7689]

Really enjoying these question-and-answer videos. I wouldn’t worry about the cats and Skippy. If the cats aren’t declawed, which I’m sure they aren’t, they will take care of themselves with Skippy.

[@lotusflowerkumudini9574]

Oh how sweet, such a gem!! Thank you for sharing your mom with all of us!

That was a great video, love seeing JIm's Mom. and God Bless her. , I'm not far behind at 81, and I understood what she said about finding God late in life. I think we all do. as the end comes near we feel we need to get our house in order so to speak. Great questions on the horses. and Skippy etc. Waiting to see what Jim does with the saw mill if and when he gets the motor squared away. thanks for sharing God Speed. ECF

[@normafollet7156]

I’m glad to hear that your mum is a God Fearing person, I’m a god fearing person too,😊❤🎉

[@gentlegiants1974]

Wonderful video! The question about matching horses was good. I had a pair of horses, used them as leaders in a 4 up, and always drove them together, I just lost the one and am now working through the process of trying to make a big slow gelding work with a big fast mare, and it presents a challenge for sure. My boy is more of a "Ken", easygoing and slow, but strong like a bull, the mare is like a bull too, but a lot more snort and paw to go with it. They trot fine together when fresh or tired and you could drive them in a hitch in the ring together, but drop down a gear and hook on a steady load for a few hours and the difference jumps out at you. Your Mom seems like a beautiful and talented lady. Even younger people could learn a lot by listening to her.

[@williamleopold507]

You have a sweet mom Jim , God bless her and all the family . Thanks for sharing !

[@gaylesmith1738]

I'm loving these q & a videos!! It was fun to meet your mom & hear her talk anout Jim and to hear about her relationship with God! She is a lovely lady!! Plus your barn scene...I never thought about those questions! Real interesting! Now I'm nervous about Lady having a foal & there being too many horses!! 😳 Oh dear...But, overall I'm really enjoying these videos! I love your family!! 💕

[@JeffRyman69]

It was wonderful listening to your mother. She reminds me of my mother who passed at about 88 in 2002. Although I didn't use a horse to do it, I had a Grit paper route too when I was a kid. Good memories.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Skippy has a great herding instinct.I viewed him put the cows right into corner of paddock.

So lovely to see your mom Jim - what a kind and blessed soul she is! You didn’t get your story teller skills from a stranger 😊

[@johnmcclelland5265]

Jim your mum seems to be a wonderful woman and brought you up well. Common sense seems to be the order of the day. Keep it going hand it on . As for the dog my only concern was to stop him chasing the cows. If they come into calf you could have a lot of problems. My advice is to nip that in the bud early. Good luck to you and your family. Brenda more power to your elbow. You’re great.
