Hi Amy, I’m Roberta. I live in the northwest corner of Massachusetts. I also married my high school sweetheart (will be 47 years later this month) we had two children. Amanda who is married and live in Maryland with her husband who she met at Wesley Seminary in Washington, DC. Our son Brian died at the age of 21. He crashed his motorcycle coming home from work. I love your videos. They are so inspiring and your words are always encouraging. Your home is absolutely beautiful. I do so look forward to your weekly videos and friendly voice. Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July 🇺🇸🎆😊

[@jaimecurato1596]

Beautiful transformation. Love the teamwork! Thank you for sharing God’s word. Very timely as my husband is going thru a health crisis. That scripture really calmed my heart….thank you ❤️

[@cherylthepearl827]

Thanks for sharing deck renew! I need my deck rebuilt. Just too expensive but one day will need to do it. I’ve watched you for a few years now. Thanks for sharing your life and sweet pets too. ♥️🐾 I’ve lived in Chesapeake Beach Maryland for 36 years, same home that my husband and I built on our 4 acres, mainly wooded lot in a housing development. He passed away at 66 years old, 8 yrs ago. One of my daughters and her 5 yr old daughter live in my home. I enjoy having my granddaughter here part time, as her time is split among families. Enjoy that deck and time together. It can all change so fast and be blessed. ❤🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 happy 4th!

[@KarenAllen-pp3yl]

Wow what a transformation! Your deck top & bottom are simply breathtaking! You & your husband worked very hard. It all paid off. Thanks for all the ideas & where n what to get for this project. Most of all thank-you for sharing God's Word❣🤲🕊😉🙋‍♀️❤

[@margieneary272]

Amy! That was a lot of work, but it turned out gorgeous. Decks are a lot of work, and years ago, my husband and I would look out our back patio, and no one was sitting out on their decks, due to it being so darn hot, so we decided to have a 4 season attached patio room built, 20 some years ago. It has served us well, and I am sun sensitive, so it works. But every spring, I throughly clean it, and it takes me all day. There are 12 windows and a doorwall. The cat loves it. Lol. Your house is huge, but beautiful.

[@sandiweishaupt8483]

The patio looks beautiful. Love the black side of the pillow.❤️

[@gabrielarich2015]

I love it, Amy! Good job Scott on staining the deck. It turned out really nice. 👍

[@karenadams138]

Such a great video, Amy.....my oh my you have the most wonderful deck and the best views ever!....your decor looks so pretty and the restaining of the deck is fabulous!.... so nice seeing a pic when you and Scott were younger...your dress was gorgeous!...have a wonderful 4th of July and thank you for always reading God's Word at the end of your videos!... hugs and blessings! 😊

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good afternoon Amy! What a beautiful deck “before” and “after”! Scott did a great job staining the deck and being high on the ladder! I like the new deck color and the addition of some black pieces mixed with your neutral decor. It’s such a tranquil space to sit for morning coffee or watch Scott grilling! You did a great job on pruning the shrubs, too! Thank y’all both and for the reminder of the Scripture. Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🌞💕

[@olgaegomez2875]

Wow. marvelous. but under the stairs you can create another place to take in the fresh air when the sun is very strong...well, that's what I was able to observe. Well, may God fill you with rich blessings. Greetings from Puerto Rico, Caribbean island.🇵🇷 a 🤗.

[@Carole712]

I’ve been waiting to see you decorate your deck. Everything looks great. I liked that fresh lawn cut. 🕶️🐕🪴🏡

[@teresaohalloran7170]

Hi Amy, I have been watching your channel for quite awhile now and love all of them. I live in Melbourne, Australia so our seasons are different while you are enjoying summer we are freezing 🥶 because it’s winter. But I always get some good ideas to use. I really love your Christmas decorating . Keep doing what you do because I am sure there are a lot of people who benefit from watching your videos and hearing your scripture readings ❤

[@donnacampbell1641]

Hi little girl. I was hoping we would get to see your deck this year. It really turned out good. I just had my deck cleaned and repaired and re-stained. Some boards needed to be replaced. My stain appears to be the same color as yours. Anyway I’m sure you saved a lot of money doing it yourself. Mine was about $5000 but there was some other repairs thrown in there but it was mainly for the deck. I used to bring my cushions in the garage when I knew it was gonna rain but I’ve had them so many years now that I have just started leaving them out. They still look OK. They were Better Homes & Gardens cushions. they have held up good but will need to be replaced at some point. I ordered some product from Amazon that I saw another KZbinr is that brings your iron furniture back to life beautifully. We are leaving tomorrow to go to Dallas to stay at Melissa‘s for about four days. Going to her house is like going to the spa. it’s so extremely hot here in Texas and I was wondering if your candles would melt out on your deck. I’m sure they’d melt here in Texas. I know I don’t need to tell you any information about me after all these years but for others I’m a 76-year-old grandmother with only one grandchild, Rachel who is 25. I have two daughters and two son-in-law‘s. I’m retired after 31 years of work for a large chemical company. your pictures of your kids looks so good. They sure are some good looking children. Love in Christ

[@maryw9876]

Hi Amy! I’ve been a subscriber for a little while now tuning in from Albuquerque. You have been such an inspiration to me because of your decorating style. I have a traditional home which I like to decorate seasonally and you make it so easy and classy. Thank you for all the ideas. Love the teamwork between you and your hubby! I look forward to the next video. Take care!

[@jacquelineross6603]
