[@emilywalker14]

My best friend died a few days ago and hearing “we love you. We’re here for you” just warmed my heart. Thank you for your videos! I look forward to them!!

[@bettyjoelauper]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@AParis-vm4sx]

😘

[@francyfey4646]

I‘m so sorry! I feel your loss, my mom died in December and my heart aches everyday. Big hugs and stay strong ❤️

[@ChickensinHighDef]

My dog (I consider him my son) died yesterday, and these videos are helping me make it through the day.

[@annmargaret1069]

Dear E. Hello my name is Ann. I am 99 yrs old. I understand your loss. I am so sorry. But I want to tell you Love. You know the says " time takes care of all loss " not true. Time does help us accept the loss of our loved one, time in time we just learn to live with it Dear. And in time you will learn to live with the loss of your Beloved friend. So God Bless you Lass. And keep your chin up. 👵🙏

Valentine's Day has always been special to us. It's my husband's birthday and our 47th wedding anniversary this year. ⤵😍

[@halfrutter2226]

Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊

[@kerridillon3120]

Blessings & Congratulations from Southern California!

[@elizabitty213]

Awwww ! How crazy it’s my husbands birthday on the 12th & the 13th was our 11th wedding Anniversary. Happy belated birthday to your hubby & happy anniversary!

[@O_DoodleMom5]

Happy Birthday/Anniversary!!! My husband and I have been married 28 years and grow more in love every day! Here’s to 50 from Mississippi!! ❤️

[@whutzat]

Happy Anniversary to both of you.

[@ralphmelvin6814]

Ron, first thing I’ve got to say is you have a great woman there. Treat her right which I know you do. Love what your doing with the channel. Making me want to build a little cabin on my property. God Bless and get Justine’s bedroom finished soon.

[@NateMylott]

I agree. To find a woman who loves history that much would be like finding a genie in a bottle.

[@frankieamsden7918]

Happy Valentine's day to you both! Don't worry about ruining your appetite, it always comes back! My grandma nursed my grandpa as he was dieing. After he was gone she always ate her dessert first. She said life was too short to wait.

[@azotemia34]

That is completely beautiful. I will write a song about that.

[@mandybenedict1585]

I agree with that, Frankie. I wish that i had the same happiness that these two have. Beggars can't be choosers

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

I agree! Your comment is so sweet, yet so touching. My heart goes out to your Grandma. May your late Grandpa, always watch over your Grandma & be there in spirit to comfort her, whenever she's missing him dearly. May your Grandpa's spirit be @ peace.

[@wesjackson7775]

Great shows as usual. Watching Justine cook in front of that fireplace you can see how difficult it was cooking back then with the heat coming off the fire. Keep up the good work.

[@rebeccacoombsVA]

My grandfather had something similar. I don’t know if this is correct, but he said it was used by shop clerks… ink well, pen well, wax sealing supplies, etc. in the holes on top and the day’s bill of sales slipped in below. My grandmother had appropriated it for her sewing room and kept scissors, etc., in it.

[@moniqueputvain-dunn5239]

Brilliant!

[@skg9623]

I happened upon Justine's Early American channel and then to your Frontier Patriot. What a delight you both are. Sincere, humble, informative, and truly sweet. Enjoyed you saying grace on another video. Watching Justine cook is hard work for her but oh so relaxing for me. Keep up sharing your wonderful videos!! 💝🙏

[@pbonniejean]

The holey wood box is to hold your fresh eggs so they don't roll around and break each other. If you look closely at the cook's work table in the Downton Abbey series, you'll see a much longer one in the center of the table, ready for her to grab them for the dishes she made. Home-grown eggs do not require refrigeration, as their natural coating seals out air. Commercially raised eggs get washed, and so they must be refrigerated to retard the oxidation process.

[@billieboybuddha4238]

And what about the space below the holes?

[@pbonniejean]

@@billieboybuddha4238 I think its just a riser, to put the eggs high enough to be easily in reach of a busy cook on a cluttered work station.

[@bonniemorris1535]

How sweet, my husband gave me a 1890"s Valentine's day Card ! I was over the moon :) love you guys, too cute

[@rhondaduncan8872]

Maybe that box is an ink well? For and artist or illustrator? It would hold many types of inks in the little circles and maybe accessories and different quills safely in the bottom?

[@jennlatona2797]

I reeeeeally like the viewpoint on this video - the camera's too far away on the new uploads - but here it really feels like I'm sitting at the table with you guys 🥰

[@sparkleypegs8350]

I love this content because it kind of reminds me of my grandparents. They were farmers and made everything from scratch. They sneered at "towny air bread" as they called it and made fresh loaves every second day or so. They had one Jersey cow for milk and cream and when we turned up we would get the home made bread with of course home made jam and clotted cream and wow, was it good. Dinners where a joint of beef or lamb and quite often corned beef silverside. The next day's lunch would be salad and bread and cheese and the left over meats from the day before. The table always looked like a fabulous feast no matter which meal it was. I remember eating bowl after bowl of just beetroot as my grandmother was preserving it. Strange thing for a kid to eat but was so good I couldn't stop. I must have been about 9 years old at the time. They lived the same way in the 80's as they had in the 40's and it was a joy to see.

[@chelebelle2223]

That's a sweet story of your childhood. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@mariansmith7694]

Justine was famished. Her stomach was growling so loudly while she was makes tarts. I could never eat so much. Looks so good.

[@pamelakern2849]

Your both ,are a joy to watch. I find myself feeling very relaxed when I watch your videos . 😀😀

[@jackieblue787]

..I know !! I commented before these two are so hypnotic that I wonder if they're CIA. 🤣😂😜

[@dianealden9293]

Addicted to Ron and Justine videos. Food choices are glorious. I do recall my great grandma making some of same dishes. Tarts, puddings, jams and preserves and best were lemon meringue pie from scratch using fresh everything.

[@candaceaustin4258]

Eggs in a basket: slice potatoes fine, onions sliced thin. Place in baking pan, make room as in nests, place raw egg in each little nest, season with salt & pepper. Bake @ 300 til eggs done Very good

[@lindabrittner5062]

What a lovely Valentine's dinner! It will be exciting to get a peek at the new room. Ron worked hard on the room while you baked, and then you both made dinner together. What a full and productive day.

[@lacybigham2386]

I just found yall on here today. Now I'm not doing anything except binge watching both channels lol. I adore yall and what you do already! Happy Valentine's Day!! Oh, and Ron, next year you can carve a Welsh Love Spoon for Justine. I bet you can carve one of the most beautiful ones ever made!!!

[@hazelbrungard1623]

Me too. Love hisorical writings and pamphlets.

[@lisanorth609]

Love you guys. Just watch the other channel. Now here. Love it. You will be ready for no power if it ever happens. God bless you both.

[@lisah836]

Thank you for inviting to your Valentine dinner. You two are a very cute couple!

[@teresaroman3348]

Cheese scalloped potatoes and potato soup are very yummy. Another awesome video. Thank you so very much.

[@1415reynolds]

Colored Easter Eggs - I think that wooden box with the holes is used to dry dyed Easter Eggs. And the open space beneath the holes is to catch the colored drips. I know its not Eastertime yet but I'm pretty sure that is what that wooden box is for.

[@EarlyAmerican]

This is the best theory yet!!! Ron read this comment.

[@annalisette5897]

I made a long comment about this too. Czech kraslice for instance require multiple applications of colored wax. The shells are first emptied, so are very delicate and they need places to rest in between various applications. The box part underneath would be great for storing stylus, wax, candles, etc. Images of artists doing this today show them using egg cartons but those weren't invented until fairly recently.

[@billharrison4531]

The love I feel in that room is as sweet as those dishes...Love you guys keep those videos coming...

[@Tiffany-vj1tv]

You two have the heartiest appetites of anyone I have ever seen 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳😂💕😋 thank you for sharing your Valentine's Day with us!🥂 Happy Valentine's Day to you both 💕

[@myrakitchens2635]

I just recently found yall, such a joy to watch, a sweet couple. Ron you remind me so of my so much of my son in law. He is kind, soft spoken, very smart and so sweet to my daughter. Justine you are precious.

[@kimlee1416]

Wonderful show. God bless you both Nth Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️

[@jojoperez6454]

Awww, I love your videos...so glad that I found you two!

[@michaelshields5921]

I have learned a couple of new recipies and how to make a simple wood stool so far by watching the both of you. I will state again I have only found your channel just over a week ago. As to the wood being needed we mainly use wood to heat the house. Before my health went to pot I did most of the wood caring , cutting and splitting.. I thank God I was using a chain saw then eventually a wood splitter as I aged.

[@Addy1027]

Absolutely love your videos! Just found you guys a few weeks ago and have been binge watching! Justine the heart scones look and sound absolutely amazing, and will be looking for citron to replicate! I have silicon heart shaped molds and a regular oven! 😉 That being said, Ron you were so sweet with the flowers, but didn't catch the reprimand from Justine regarding using your fork for the mushrooms! Your a good man, an awesome man, learn to LISTEN! Mind your manners young man! 😉 Can't wait to see your bedroom, there was so much sunlight pouring in! Thank you for reminding us of the old life, the simple life, the true life! I swear I was born in the wrong era! Thank you again ❤️❤️

[@realong2506]

My father was a wonderful carver. He would sit in the evenings and carve bears, horses, ball in cages, peach pit monkeys and all manner of things. He carved many wooden spoons for my mother and was a talented carpenter. I miss him terribly. He and my mother have been gone 15 years and I miss them everyday.

[@teresarenee3829]

You were blessed....know you will see them again.

[@miriambarnett2782]

Great video. All the food looked so delicious. Justine you are a wonderful cook. The spoons that Ron’s Dad made are beautiful. I love wooden spoons! Take care.

[@mercedeslopez2655]

I'm happy for you both. Enjoy each other's company because not everyone has there loved one anymore. It still hurts. God bless

[@EarlyAmerican]

Bless your heart Mercedes

[@MorningMary67]

It warms my heart to watch your videos and see the love you have for each other. I look forward to each and every one! 💕the food looks delicious by the way

[@TheSophisticatedmay]

I watched both videos...Thanks be to God I have the time. You both make my day. Keep on doing what you do. Love ya!

[@annmargaret1069]

Dear Youngsters hello. This time of the year is hard for me because it is my birthday and also my Sweet husband was killed in action at the start of WW2 and a week after I was told he was gone I gave birth to a baby boy, he passed on Valentines day. So Feb is hard for me. Wonderful memories but sad too. War is terrible, and the loss of one's family is even more horrible. Please all cherish your loved ones because we don't know how long we may have them sometimes they are with us just a few minutes and then gone forever. 👵🙏

[@elizabethhutson9767]

I love this life you’ve chosen for yourselves! I love these videos too!

[@msb358]

Love your talks! Hope you two had a wonderful Valentine's Day! 💕

[@murrayfarms]

Beautifully prepared and presented and heartily devoured!!! Happy Valentine's Day to you both!

[@Tabbyfunk144]

New subscriber. I just love your channel and I also watch the other one where you make the food as well. My husband and I would love to live this way. I grew up in wv about 20 miles away from any towns and I hated it as a kid growing up but now I’d give anything to have it again, god bless

[@rebeccarorie313]

So glad y'all had such a wonderful Valentine's day together I'm so glad also that your getting the bedroom made, which will be a very special place for the both of you ♥️🥀🙂

[@AngelCatUK]

The heart cakes looks delicious. I keep thinking about them after watching the video. I have to make them.

[@annalisette5897]

That wooden box with the egg shaped holes... I got to wondering if that has something to do with painting eggs, Easter eggs. To me it looks like an artist's box with paints, inks or tools to be kept under the top part. Initially I wondered if it had to do with candling eggs, shining light through them to see if there are embryos, except it would be dangerous to have a candle in the box part. I Googled images of various egg painting techniques and didn't get many images of the actual equipment used. I am of East European ancestry and I know there are a number of different ways to make very complex Easter eggs. The Ukrainian pysanky are created in a series of dye baths but the patterns are created by applying heated wax with a stylus. I think the little box might be fantastic for some of this work. There are other techniques from other regions which also have to do with applying colored wax for decorations. The box area of the artifact in question would be excellent for storing wax, styluses and other tools. The holes in top would allow the artist to decorate a number of eggs at one time. Czech "kraslice" is done with blown eggs -- contents blown out through holes at ends of eggs -- thus the shells are very delicate. Wax and inks are used to make kraslice and it would be great to have a safe way to protect the eggs as they are being decorated. Another possibility for the box is china painting in the Victorian era. If you Google Easter egg decoration, there is quite a selection of porcelain eggs that were painted in Victorian times. In short, I am thinking of techniques that might require drying times (ink, dye, china paint) or elaborate work that decorates one side of the egg and then the other. The kraslice technique can use different colors of wax so the eggs would need to be shelved between colors. Pictures of some modern work shows artists using modern egg cartons to store their work. Well, DUH! Except, when were egg cartons invented?

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Very interesting info my dear & i'm of the same thoughts as you there. I too, have some Eastern European, Central European, Baltic & Russian ancestry, so i know much, regarding Easter egg painting/decorations. I spent some years in Eastern Europe, the Baltics & Russia, I also did some googling and i've found very similar info too. Take care.

[@mj28inpa]

The mystery box could be a yarn/ribbon dispenser? Yarn or ribbon goes in the main compartment and then feed it through the holes? PS another fun video. Thanks guys..

[@lina-yw5kh]

Justine it's so precious how many times you mentioned the citron 😆 I love such cakes! I'd of been naughty and added a rum butter to dip in. Too sweet that you got each other flowers, loved that part in the other video. You guys are awesome 💖

[@planetjazzy]

Thank you for doing both channels... Blessings to you from one who lives in the forest ...

Potato donuts is another potato thing! Here in Maine we have a donut bakery called The Holy Donut and they specialize in making potato donuts... they're incredible!!! I share Justine's sweet tooth and would definitely ruin my supper with all those yummy treats :)

[@dannyl2598]

I like the format of the two channels. I also like that on this channel you are in and out of time character yet it is seem less. Happy Valentine's.

[@victoriaag4460]

That box with holes in it is actually an old bottle holder, i think they had it in all shapes and sizes, for alcohol bottles, liquid spices and any bottles in general. The bottle fits from the inside and the cap goes through the hole

[@lauragriffin6214]

The box might have been for stationary. The holes would be for ink pots and paper would be kept in the bottom.

Hello from Belgium I love your 2 channels I look forward to see your videos you are both sweet people 🌹

[@sherrikraut3888]

[@realong2506]

My guess for the mystery item is an ink well, quill and paper holder for a desk.

[@judywalker7865]

Y’all are the sweetest couple ever! I love your videos so much! You both make holidays so special. These videos are very interesting. I love the special care you have for each other.

[@Jo.lawler]

Happy Valentines day to you two beautiful people and thank you for sharing your amazing food with us. There is not a thing on that table that I wouldn't love to eat. I have to google what citron is. That apricot tart with fresh cream would be the perfect dessert. Can't wait to see your new bedroom. Have a great week Justine and Ron x

[@nbgrooms]

About the box, I was thinking a spice holder. Spice would go in the drawer, and spice bottles sitting in the holes on top. Thy'd sit in the holes but wouldn't fall through.

[@LimeHidden23]

[@marilynwade9448]

Love this episode

[@dianetellier1373]

The wooden box looks like an old portable desk of sorts. Possibly for holding ink bottles at the top and paper in the bottom. That's just my first thought when you presented it. Thank you for your shows! I just discovered it and I'm enjoying it so much. Confirms my feeling that I may have been born at the wrong time.

Ok guys clearly the mystery box is a taco storage shelf. You just fold up your tacos and let them rest in there.

[@dannyl2598]

You know.... It could be from an ice cream shop, they could set your ice cream cones in there at the register while you pay for them. And maybe have napkins in the bottom. Just a guess. Thanks

[@frontierpatriot]
