Ron wearing that wig like he is in the Continental Congress, he looks illustrious.

[@southshore8911]

Ron looks like one of the corrupt us senators in washignton dc with that hair do

[@gypsy9933]

@@southshore8911 😂

[@magtye40]

"illustrious" fabulous

[@aliencat11]

Maybe make bread pudding out of the rest of the cake? Or fry slices in butter and serve like pancakes. Just a thought!

[@kerridillon3120]

Actress Audrey Meadows who played Alice Kramden on The Honeymooners said that folks used to send her aprons (and curtains!) all the time! She had quite a nostalgic collection! The first apron with the heart pockets reminds me of the ones I've seen on I Love Lucy! ❤️

[@digital4282]

Glad to see Ron doing better and that Justine’s remedies didn’t make him worse. Love the videos! lol

[@teresaroman3348]

Those cure would scare the sick out of me.

[@jamieayers30]

I just love old aprons too! I think it’s so awesome how you embrace being “old fashioned.” You know who you are, what you like, and you’re not afraid to show it! I think that’s why you’re so loved, you are a breath of fresh air, amid the nipped and tucked society of today! Thank God for you and Ron, don’t ever change!❤❤❤

[@sharakate]

I agree with Ron. Why not share on this channel sometimes? It’s relatable and fun!

[@snowylee9331]

Thank you for sharing that you love thrifting! A girl after my own heart! I love the aprons-i have several old ones too!! Love both shows - and mish mish. He is so beautiful!!

[@diamondlou1]

The opening shot with Mish Mish in the window was beautiful.

[@elizabethbyars2368]

Aprons are wonderful and thrift stores are exciting.

[@tremorsfan]

The only thing more fun than seeing Justine cooking is seeing Ron eating.

[@mabel8179]

I think a lot of us come by to watch Ron eat lol.

[@judithmatthews8460]

You are completely right it doesn’t matter if the recipes are good. It’s the interesting view of the kind of thing people ate back then. Always entertaining.

[@spinningjinn]

I'm really enjoying the "This Week in History" segments! Please keep showing those. I'm glad you're both feeling better, and we're able to attend the ball. It looks like a blast!

[@earlenebrown7181]

I like Rons wig and Justine I love that you have a apron collection. My grandmother wore your first apron a lot and now I’m 64. Enjoy your hobby and thank you for sharing.

[@kathymoll7010]

You both made a beautiful couple at the King's ball. It was a great night and you both mastered the dances. My husband loved when your cake fell into the milk Ron lol. He replayed it 4 times😆. You both remind me of us so much. The antiquing, thrifting, eating, and laughing. Never change ❣️

[@frontierpatriot]

Thank you! You too! it caught me off guard :D

[@SCB-il8ez]

I love your mish mish he found you- I know Justine had a black cat that ran away so it makes my heart happy to know she has such a loving black cat! The world works in mysterious ways

[@EarlyAmerican]

You're right it does

[@veesimmons2464]

The wig was a great purchase. Ron looks quite polished now. Justine, the apron collection is interesting. My family and I are huge thrifters. Most of our home is furnished with used things and we get so many compliments on the cool and interesting stuff we have. Most of our clothes, too, were previously owned. I draw the line at undergarments, socks, and swimsuits - some things just have to be brand new.

[@elenasterling3159]

Nice collection of wigs. How fun to be able to change it up. I love your videos, you two are such wonderful people. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@TrixieBel63]

“It’s a wig ?!?!” cracked me up Justine 😂 ! Also loved Ron’s slo-mo ponytail toss lol . Love the aprons too !

[@frontierpatriot]

Glad you liked it!!

[@traciehanley-jacobs252]

Keep going! I love Ron's history facts. And Justine, 😅I love that you go thrifting. It's one of my favorite things to do and I do save probably hundreds of dollars per year except for one thing. I love thrifting so much that I probably do that more than I should. The other perk to thrifting is I am an original because what I buy is Not in the stores. So I always get comments and compliments from my purses to my tops,skirts necklaces and bracelets. etc. Go Justine! Y'all are so much fun!

[@margui6224]

I’m glad that Ron is much better. Nice wig on Ron. I’m glad that you had fun in the ballroom. Nice photo. So the cakes were not that fluffy and without too many ingredients. Very interesting the dates in history like the weather service being established, Quincy Adams was elected as the 6th President, and know about John Deere. Love your apron collection, Justine. Adorable Mish Mish. ❤️🐱

[@frontierpatriot]

Yes! Thank you!

[@annyoung1579]

I have the Early American Life magazine with this lady in Colonial Williamsburg with great article and pitcures !! I did not know George Washington's hair was not a wig !! Your aprons reminds me of Blondie in the Dagwood and Blondie comic strips in the Sunday newspaper !! I enjoy both your channels so much And so happy Kandye has joined KZbin !!

[@VictoriasRoses]

Your kitty is so adorable! I really like Ron's wig. When I saw your ball it reminded me of the Regency Ball's we attended about then years ago. The group has since disbanded and I really miss it. I have several Regency dresses and I want to wear them again. I love aprons. I collect aprons and apron patterns. If you share thrift store finds I would love to see them! Share away!! Have a great week!!

[@femalism1715]

Thanks Justine and Ron. I love the aprons!!!

[@johngalt5411]

You guys are such great company. We love you too.

[@teresaroman3348]

Ron "Please don't shoot me." Yes, Ron, like that country song. Very nice rendition, BTW. OMG both Justine and Ron are human. Oh, and I love that fact. Thank you!

[@lisameyvis6013]

I love the aprons Justine! They are in great shape-what an amazing find!! 👏🏻

[@ritaking8827]

Thrifting! I raised my daughter on thrifting! She had the the best vintage clothing and her friends loved her clothes. I thrift my clothes, books, just about everything in my kitchen, and all my bed clothes. I love, love, love when I find a 100% vintage cotton sheet or pillowcase! Your aprons are beautiful and a really good price! I’m really glad you shared them with us.

[@angelaengler2387]

Ron you are handsome even though you are losing your hair but if wearing a wig makes you happy do it! Justine I love the aprons and would love for you to share your finds on Instagram, that first one reminds me of my beloved grandmothers so much, I love it so much ! My best find thrifting is a silk scarf from Cartier🥰 and a Longaberger basket😀

[@rebeccaback3287]

I enjoyed seeing senes from the ball! I like the history lesson especially from this week in history.The poor man s cake.I like the cenery the cabin is wonderful.David Back.

[@lucillekelm4720]

You could try red raspberry jam or any kind of jam which was popular at that time.

[@PollyAlice2000]

Oh darn! I was hoping that seed cake would be nice, but it seems to be getting a thumbs down. Genius to contact the Williamsburg wig maker! The wig is fantastic!

[@garnettemorgan7355]

That's right we love to hear everything you do behind the scenes above the scenes

[@cindyminks9961]

Love The aprons reminds me of both my grandmas❤

[@Zulma1307]

I am for Ron wearing a wig. But in the pictures of the wedding you should do with and without the wig. But let him have some spot light too Justine

[@RLiberty94]

I absolutely love your aprons and thrifting! Thank you for sharing!

[@TheMtggrl]

So happy to see Ron feeling better, love that wig, it's so fun to see Ron with hair, but I have to say I think with or without hair he's a handsome guy. Loved getting to see the group of you at the ball, how fun that must have been. I really enjoy watching the two of you create recipes and chat while trying them, you always bring us so many interesting facts. Thank you for sharing your fun with us.

[@gwenrobinson3521]

You are both lovely people, I like the spirit of your channel sharing the past and being a partner to one another. We like your aprons and what you share. Blessings from the middle of no where California.

[@frontierpatriot]

Thank you so much!

[@sottasue]

Mish Mish is a small ripe apricot in Arabic!! I would pour cream over that cake!! I made your leek, barley, deer sausage and potato soup last night!

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, the dance information was fascinating! I would love to see that live! (I'm hopelessly uncoordinated. No way could I do it.)

[@gretchenmorones5383]

Ron I think you look very dashing in your wig. You are handsome with or without it! Justine I love your aprons, they remind me of my mom when I was growing up. I love going to thrift shops and antiques too! Glad you're both feeling better. Looks like you both had a great time at the ball. Enjoyed seeing the video and a pic of your handsome brother. Take care!😃

[@frontierpatriot]

thankyou so much Gretchen!! :)

[@moonviolet27]

Thanks for keeping me company as I ate my supper🙂 I love thrifting and aprons also!

[@debrawilliams9982]

I love thrift store shopping!! Loved it since I was a child.

[@StoneHedgeAcres]

yes to the wig it is a great addition . Thank you for sharing your life thrifting challenge. Just to tell you most of my favourite things in cloths or trinkets came from a second hand store.

[@bettyblue2089]

Ron your a good man , Justine you are blessed with Ron . Mish mish is blessed too ❤️

[@patriot2195]

Love the wig and the aprons. ❤️

[@maryathey280]

Oh yes, my mother used to make a Poor Man's cake for Christmas and she would add dried fruit to the batter and make it into a delicious fruit cake. I've yet to taste any as good as what she made and I have the recipe she made. She got the recipe from her mother (ancestors fought in the American Revolution.) But there were no caraway seeds in the recipe..... Justine - keep your FB private otherwise you'll get mail - it's awful..... You get hacked easy Those aprons were from before WWII and after. i remember my aunts and grandmothers wearing them.....They look in good shape for that old or they could be replication of the old ones.

[@viviansmallhorn8109]

You look very dashing Ron and I love the aprons Justine.

[@bessiemann7468]

Hello Justine and Ron I am lake watching this. Glad to see you both well and healthy. I love the photo of you two at the ball

[@pamelakern2849]

This Frontier Patriot was one of the very best . Justine and Ron did a wonderful job. The video was a joy from beginning to end . I just love the aprons. My grandmother wore an apron everyday. We are lucky to be able to spend time with such lovely people 💕

[@louiseclark7967]

Absolutely love Justine's little historical cooking tidbits she teaches us. Loved the wig history, too. A great channel! Hope to see some more storyline sometime! Take care- love from CT

[@karenmar1529]

If anyone wanted to know how dense that cake is just watch the part where Ron drops it into the milk. It sank pretty quick 😂 Love the wig, looked so fancy. The dance looked like alot of fun and nice to see your brother joined you Justine. Thrifting is great, love your aprons and agree definitely like the pockets. Enjoy your weather.

[@guest3015]

That part was hilarious!! 🤣🥛

[@christinapolander4025]

Oh my gosh!! You did the pattycake polka!! I work at a living history museum set for the 1860s western pioneer and we teach that dance. We often dance to the song Billy Boy. It's actually one of my favorites to teach!!

[@mrs.g.9816]

I remember back when I was way little (about 3 or so around 1959) my maternal grandmother (who we kids called "Nana") wearing an apron similar to the first Justine showed us. Hers was in paisley. I remember the swirly shapes. Mom wore those 1950's aprons, too, and the pockets came in handy. Apologies to Ron - I love any cakes or breads with caraway seeds! Every St. Patrick's day, I make Irish soda bread with white raisins and caraway seeds. So good still warm from the oven with a pat of butter melting on a slice. Loved seeing the videos and pictures of the Kings Ball. Glad you all had a good time!

[@sunni4302]

I appreciate your company as well, thank you for sharing your thrift finds

[@clairebear1318]

Go ahead and show us your thrift finds. Its nice that you are willing to open up a bit. You guys are so cute, this is a lovely channel :)

[@hillaryhollins667]

Yes please share you finds as we are pretty old out here and remember those 40’s through the 50’s grew up in those years with grandparents that were wearing those aprons or dresses all of it!

[@rebeccaeverhardt214]

When Ron’s cake dropped into his milk , lol 😂 And Justine I love aprons also and I really enjoyed yours that you showed us. I love and appreciate when you and Ron share other parts of your lives , so thank you ❤

[@NanaGagie]

Ron, thanks for your candor! I’ve tried a few receipts and didn’t like them but didn’t want to say! I love Justine’s cooking segments 💖

[@daybyday6522]

I also love both collecting aprons and thrift shopping. Those are really cool ones, too. Putting on a new apron is one of the simple joys in life, lol. (P.S. The milk drop made me laugh super hard.)

[@pamp5797]

Justine, I LOVE the aprons.

[@carolm3468]

You both looked so cute at the ball. It seemed like it was a lot of fun. I also enjoy your "this day in history" segment. The aprons are adorable...very 40's.

[@LynaaC]

I’d love to see more of your thrift finds!! 🙂

[@mariat3276]

So glad you are both feeling well. Thank you for videos and pictures of the Ball. Love aprons myself. I have a cherished few of my Mother’s. Thank you for the history facts of the week. I look forward to my visits with you. God bless you both.

[@morgannlefay13]

The dance you went to looked like so much fun. I take it you do reenactment for a living? Would love living in or near such a community. Thanks for shareing so much. I love you little cabin. And kitty.

[@penneyw2825]

I love that you share a bit about yalls personal lives, and hobbies!! It's nice to know about you both. I love your shows and watch them all! Yall are amazing! God bless!

[@frontierpatriot]

Thank you so much!

[@cherylparker7176]

Love the aprons, Justine!!!

[@truckerbrat7005]

Nice wig, Ron, you look good! I also love thrifting! Love your aprons, Justine!

[@KB-ku4um]

Ron's slow mo hair flip made me laugh so loud that I woke up the entire household.

[@VoodooCrab]

Lol!!! I just want to take some shears and lop off Ron's pony tale. It's too bouncy and girly looking! 😍 Thanks for showing some of the dancing from the ball!

[@pennwoman]

What a BEAUTY that cat is! Love you guys.

[@jenniferpeterson6617]

I love thrifting and antiquing! So, I love seeing what you got. 😍

[@Lg.sidequest]

It's so dense I can't imagine eating it dry like that. Maybe spreading a little fruit preserve or jelly would make it nicer.

[@drwiley8534]

Today I learned I have the same hair color as Ron and George Washington!! What an honor

[@frontierpatriot]

YES! :)

[@GenXLostInTx]

Totally interested in your thrift finds! My daughters and I love to go thrifting.

[@hollish196]

LOVE aprons! Thank you for sharing these great buys! You really should do an episode on you aprons. I would think it would be popular with all the cooks who watch.

[@Ladythyme]

Love thrifting….we call it goin’ Junkin’ 😊 love the aprons!

[@PandaMan21086]

I love your little hair cap sir and so glad that you guys are feeling better after those few days of feeling down. I'm hoping to show off your return letter with the lady and I.

[@LindaStein-ze8bk]

Glad you are feeling better Ron. Like you better without the wig. Haaa. If it was grey you'd resemble G. Washington. Glad to hear the ball was a success. I love the aprons. Especially the 2nd one. Love thrifting

[@Mari_Oh]

Justine, I also collect aprons. It's practical because I use them every day! And I wouldn't even buy an apron that didn't have big pockets!

[@gma5587]

Hi Ron & Justine 👋. My mom made a poor man's cake for us kids. It was only hot water crisco, lil baking soda,sugar, flour & raisins. It wasn't Betty Crocker airy but we loved it! Moms passed on now, last July at 97 and a half yrs old. Thank u for reminding me of it 🥰

[@claireveilleux2100]

Ron mannnn !! !! You have not 1 but 2 clingy cats 🤣 okay excuse this one. I love watching your channels you both are so kind being. Oh Justine be careful when you take something off the fire with your apron.

[@theresabravo6971]

You two are so funny! Glad you both are better! You are moving up with your wig, Ron!

[@ardicesaugar5475]

I would love to have copies of that type of sheet music. Yes, thrifting is the best!

[@mariansmith7694]

Good historical research Justine 👏. Thank you. 😊

[@pamp5797]

I very much liked the this week in history segment.

[@frankieamsden7918]

My son and I did historical dance in historical costume for years. My favorites were the Spanish Waltz and Pop Goes The Weasel. The group we used to dance with hasn't done anything since covid19 though.

[@e_wonderment6618]

Shame 🤔 sounds like lots of fun though. Maybe contact them to see if they have any plans to start over. 💁

[@irenesoutar1254]

I’m so glad you had a wonderful time at the Kings ball, you both made a very handsome couple. Love watching the little side things like thrift shopping for aprons and I agree with keeping some things private like your Facebook chat. Love all your videos, even when the food is a fail, you’re both fun to be with.

[@donnamayoh1196]

Loved the shot of Mish Mish on the windowsill looking outside. She is a beautiful black cat. Her coat is so shiny. You looked lovely in your beautiful red dress Justine and Ron looked dashing in his suit. Did your friend find a date for the ball? I was busy looking at your lovely aprons that I didn’t notice the cake drop till you mentioned it. I had to rewind the video to watch for it. It was a good laugh. I liked Ron’s grin as he efficiently cleaned up the milk puddle. I liked this week in history review as well. Thanks for the video. Happy to see that you are both recovered from your colds/ flu.

[@margaretgilbertson1118]

Oh man that bread drop was a classic! 😂 You two are so fun to watch. Thank you!

[@musicloverkeke3314]

That looks like so much fun ! I totally want to go to Williamsburg. It's like a history lovers dream ! To be immersed in the experience. I've seen t.v. shows were people survive in the olden times online to see what's it's like. However, you both are very educational as well. History makes me so excited !

[@elisabethprice4697]

I love those aprons so cute I love those styles! And I love thrifting as well so I love to see what other people get!

[@pamp5797]

Good to hear all Justine's health remedies worked Ron. You have a voice.

[@pamp5797]

Oh and to me rye goes with savory food.

[@melissastewart5838]

Mish is just the cutest! I have an orange tabby that is just as lovable as him! Love it 🧡🖤🧡🖤

[@ljdiben7774]

Happy to see you are both feeling better! Great video as always....and LOVE the braid Ron!

[@frontierpatriot]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DaisyBloomz]

With all do respect, Ron, your wig makes me think of Olive Oil's hair a bit. Good to hear you're feeling better.

[@JanTrewhitt]

I like your aprons very much, Justine. They are so much better than those without a top on them. Blessings.

[@larissafaller3193]

Loved the content! Justine, I also loved hearing about your hobbies (yes, I consider thrifting a hobby, 😆). I thrift too as I outgrew clothes fast as a child. Why buy new when there are some excellent finds in thrift stores! One man's junk is another's treasure!

[@goosegirl941]

Love seeing what you got thrifting! ❤

[@MonkeyspankO]

My father made a similar thing, just rolled into balls and then all baked together. Same dough, butter forward, little sugar and a couple of errant raisins. I actually prefer the texture to most modern "fluffy" cake. I know, I'm weird. I think its still popular in many parts of the world and immigrant communities.

[@LindaStein-ze8bk]

Goodness I'd certainly love to see your cabin in person. It looks just so cozy Justin and Ron.
