As a Texan, I can tell you that hat tip from Eli was a Texas quality hat-tip…much respect.

[@applemac100100]

Yes I noticed that. A young cowboy in the making 😀.

[@greywolfwalking6359]

A true " Country Gentleman " in the making ..for sure!! 👍🧙‍♂️🐺!!

[@mrs.kittylarou4970]

Yes indeed!

[@MrGuitarman1945]

As a 78 year young great grandmother, I just love you so much. I laugh, smile, cry and get tired when you do. Your journey has made my family bigger. We include you and your family with ours. We speak God’s abundant blessings on you all. ❤️💙. We love everything about your beautiful home and family.

[@donaldrobey4182]

That was well said❤

[@victoiredeleusomme4257]

I am with you on this one. I am 76 and feel the same way this family just makes me happy to know they are able to live this life and raising such great humans. You have a most excellent day and yes let us all pray for them and be grateful we get to share a little of the joy this way.

So agree 💯. 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

They truly are the epitome of good simple living! Albeit comfortably ❤😂😊

OMG, Eli protecting his sister from the rain made me actually cry! That child has a heart of GOLD!

[@kimmie-kat]

The shot of Eli sheltering Kira from the rain makes my heart smile ❤

[@kenc1800]

I agree Eli is quite the little gentleman cowboy! The GSL animals are also very entertaining!

[@Stacyr4567]

The highlight of this video was Eli protecting Kierra from the rain. So sweet.

[@debrafricano1486]

Such beautiful land and views! Eli protecting his sister from the rain is precious! You guys have come so far with your building and land!

[@RealLifeWithMichelleRob]

Your son covering his sister. He's a Rockstar ❤

[@jan4222]

Watching Eli sharing his coat to protect his sister put a lump in my throat. Jeremy has been a good example of how a real man treats his family. ❤❤❤

[@josephcollins4336]

Amen!! Wonderful!!

[@marlajackson]

Thank you for sharing another Saturday morning episode of good simple living with us. It makes me smile to see your children learning so many skills that have disappeared over time. It is SO important for children to have purpose and contribute to the family and community while they are still children. 💕

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thanks so much!

[@jolemere479]

Gosh, I’ve had a hard week emotionally and watching your family video is helping to clear all the painful experiences. Thank you for posting such positive ideas and sharing your beautiful family with so many of us viewers! Life goes on…

[@gabby62-vh1hh]

I agree with you. My mom was in hospital a week and passed away oct 3rd in ICU. Very hard week. The gsl family is a beautiful family love watching them and their positive ideas. Just a joy to watch.

[@debbiefaber1224]

Sending you both peace and love your way ❤

[@francinesexton8266]

I don’t know much about farms, farming or living on a farm. It’s so cool for me to see these videos to understand what it take to be a farm person.

[@TheHavasu_77]

Awe, I loved this! Eli is the bestest little cowboy with a heart of gold and I loved him riding and protecting his sister from the rain. Jeremy and Melissa awesome job on the fence, and I just really wanted to boop Manny’s snoot at the end, lol! Love you all and have a blessed weekend!❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@jimspelman8538]

I have been following your channel for about 2 years. As a divorced dad who dreams of owning land and being least a little bit off grid, I sometimes tear up because of my circumstances, but at the same time I am inspired as I dream of a better future! Thank you.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

❤️

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Eli is ONE SPECIAL little GUY!!! He's always smiling and so quiet too what a sweetheart he is for keeping his sister dry in the rain. I also praise Eli's parenting and love you both have taught and give to your children and share it with all of us out here that LOVE your VIDEO'S. Thank you all and God Bless.

Kenji is so cute! Lots of love and scratches behind the ears to Kenji!!

[@krisadams327]

That was just so darn sweet of him covering ip his sis to help keep her dry! Ya just dont see that kond of thing anymore! I mean that was just adorable! You know you're doing something right as parents when you see something like that! Kudos mom and dad!!!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Made me so proud 💛 ❤️

[@krisadams327]

@GoodSimpleLiving oh yes! I'd be very proud as well! I believe those types of things are slowly fading. When was the last time you saw a guy opened a door for a woman? When was the last time you saw a man open a car door and help a woman out? Too many ppl are too scared to stop at a car broke down at the side of a road. Omg im babbling lol. Great job with your children!!

[@edtaylor89]

I don't know how you folks juggle so many projects and get it pulled together. It is impressive and respected.. You have certainly carved out your little piece of heaven there and it just keeps getting better.. Respect!!

[@t.coomer2745]

One of your best episodes. You are soooo right when you say ...we do things for the people we love when we really may not want to, but we love them.❤

[@deniseclose566]

I love watching your videos and seeing the progress you make each week. The relationship between Keria and Eli always brings a smile to my face. Not only are brother and sister they are best friends. I hope they always keep that relationship.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

So true!

[@alanm3438]

The head and tail , at 1:27, is sort of cool. So many projects. Well at least you got the barn and fence done before winter. Wow, now the rabbits will have a new home. I never miss your videos. It is so cool to see the things you are working on. You do a great job at filming.

[@peacockgrandma]

Buy a horse, she said. It week be cheap, she said. Lol. Love the horses, sheep, garden, new barn build and house extension. Love love love

You guys are such an awesome family. I'm so proud of the growth and maturity of the kids. I'm so happy to see parents so involved in the children's lives, leading and guiding them into adulthood with grace and patience. I look forward to your videos each week.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@kristenkylemack9477]

Nice fencing Wow! I love how the horses 🐎 supervise the project & the curiosity watch their double stalls moving Lol! The night sky video was beautiful. It was so sweet, seeing brother & sister sharing one jacket for cover from the rain. It warmed my heart!

[@kenc1800]

These horses are attentive and curious!

Thank you so much 🤗

[@patriciatennery3021]

Eli is special and he doesn’t know it; which makes it even more special. ❤

Watching your kids interact with each other and you both is a blessing. It shows how much that you have taught your kids about The Golden Rule. Then to see Eli protecting his sister from the rain was just icing on the cake!

Your Littles made my heart soft. So sweet to see Brother caring for sister.

You do have the most amazing family but I have to admit I have a soft spot for little Eli, he’s just the sweetest little boy I’ve ever seen and he makes my heart smile ❤ Kirra is making so much progress with the horses and the muscle that is Kymani just gets stronger like his hardworking dad. Missed Nevaeh but she just does her own thing these days, and you Melissa,you have the biggest heart and the glue that keeps it all together! Just fabulous 🫶🏼 God bless you all and take care xx

Great job on the fencing. The horses are going to love their new setup. The kids are so cute. Eli protecting his sister in the rain and tipping his hat was adorable! God bless you and yours from Yuma Arizona.

[@BethAnn1964]

I love that you all show everything. The successes and the failures. You don’t sleek out your videos by editing out when things don’t always go perfect. It’s truth. It’s life in all its messy beauty and it shows others they can do it too, no matter what. Love you and your family… thank you for taking us along on your journey and showing us how to live a good simple life. ❤

Omg, the man saver would have been amazing when I was a kid. My dad got a really bad nosebleed that he had to go to the hospital for after pounding posts through limestone for hours.

[@frankwilliams1157]

On your apple corer, take off the little hand crank handle and hook a drill to it if you have a bunch of apples to do. I use the bucket on my tractor to push them in, and if the T-Post hits a hard spot, I then use my bucket as a tap hammer. no more back breaking work that way. You guys and gals are all great, keep it up.

I enjoy your videos very much. Also hat tip to Eli, that is very chivalrous what his did for his sister. As for the beautiful horses, Little Debbie is beautiful, how is she with the weight issue? I remember you saying something about the possibility of eating too much and/or being pregnant. She is really showing it. Good luck on future projects.

Nice work this week. Use some of the round fence posts as rollers under the runners of the shed, will make it easier to move.

Hey guys, driving those metal posts into the ground is so much faster and easier using the tractor!!! Use your bucket to push them down. My hubby and I drove 25 metal posts in a half hour!! I held them and once they got started, stepped out of the way. 1-2-3 done! Easy, peazy! 😘

[@edmo43]

Thanks guys for sharing another episode updating this week's good work. I recommend that you roll the shed with another method, either on metal tubes or on wooden posts, so it will not be damaged. The love between brothers is as perennial as grass.♥Eli and his sister. 👍
