Today's scenery was exceptionally beautiful. Love looking at God's artwork. It warmed my heart to watch Tom and Eli interacting that way. Glad you're giving him these experiences. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us like this.

[@jeanbruder583]

Who is Tom?

[@bowed305]

@@jeanbruder583 The gentleman in the video that they went to visit who used to ride rodeo.

[@marcellacrapa1606]

I LOVE YOU❤

[@joedoe6444]

he is on a TV show called "Mountain Men". it is about people living off-grid-ish. Tom is a trapper who tans his own hides using old native methods and he and his wife make all kinds of things you would have seen at the local trading post 150 years ago. knives, robes, dresses, and so many other things.@@jeanbruder583

I am 62 and have watched Tom for years and he is a man of incredible skills and knowledge.

So glad that Eli got to go with you all. I know he really enjoyed going with you all and meeting him. What a honor that you all had the honor in meeting them.

What a blessing to meet all of these folks, cool stories about real life!!

[@michaelwilliams7481]

That will make it so much better having everything you need for the horses in one place. Can't wait to see what that the crew (Film?) are going to be doing! Stay safe, love from Mike. ❤

[@bondstephb]

Congratulations! If you go back and collect the highlights of the year, this tack room will probably be the biggest deal. I've been hoping for a tack room for you since you got your horses. Your life will become so much more organized and you can see what you have or don't have. I pray you get everything you've dreamed of. People without horses don't know how crazy it gets having to keep track of all the feed, supplements, meds, and equipment that accumulate with just a couple of horses. Our stalls in Spanaway were often destroyed by horses kicking out the slats and getting into things. Another little item my Dad always kept in the barn: a radio. Soft music is calming for everyone. Calm handlers; calm horses. Also: Thank you for repurposing the old stalls. Beautiful job! Looking forward to your next podcast! God Bless You!!!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Amazing, thank you 😊 🙏

[@gloriaseifert818]

Thank you for another awesome opportunity to be part of your alls life ❤️ 💜

[@patriciafuchs5970]

You have a winter wonderland today! It’s so beautiful. Your barn looks wonderful, the horses will love it this winter. Moving their old digs to hold the rabbits and sheep is so smart. Your friends have a magnificent property. They seem lovely. Middle is a good place to be. I certainly am enjoying this journey with you!!

[@bethglidden5699]

Everything is looking great with the barn , loafing shed, and tack room. Things are coming together pretty quickly for you now. It was nice that Eli was able to meet and talk to a real cowboy. Lol and the riding crop is too funny. The pod cast was great. I can't wait to see what comes next.have a great week

[@monikaladewig6978]

Melissa, you have such a way with words, and I am again coming away with a huge lump in my throat and such an appreciation for you and your family and your unselfish sharing of yourselves while never letting go of what is most important in life. I am heading to the podcast now. Can't wait to listen to the wisdom. Hugs and love to all of you on this Veterans Day.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Wow, thank you!

[@heidipustelniak652]

Great job on the stalls and tack room! The animals will appreciate getting out of the cold!

[@robinmack6493]

The barn is now officially a barn. Well done! Loved the podcast with your new friends. Such interesting people and we can all learn a bunch from them. Thank you. And the look on Eli's face was just priceless! Rock On Souza's!

[@kenc1800]

What a special event in Eli’s adventures and memories! I look forward to his future and skill development!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

That was a really special day for Eli

[@carlapierle8623]

Oh my goodness, Tom and Nancy are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE people on the "Mountain Men" show!! They are such a joy and both have an amazing knowledge of the old ways of crafting out of what nature gives them. I'm looking forward to listening to the podcast.

[@mfleuti]

Love the tack room... maybe build a few mini pilars with some spare stone pavers to place the shelves upon. It would keep the ground moisture (especially during winter/ rain season) from the bottom shelves and the items stored there.

[@jennylittle6852]

The barn looks wonderful and I'm so glad you got your tack room. Loved seeing the snow on the ground and the beautiful scenery. Have a great week Souza's and God bless!

[@cindypendleton7901]

I love watching Tom and Nancy on Mountain Men. They are so precious. Your property is so beautiful. Nice to see the snow.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Fantastic video folks. Loved the Podcast with Tom and Nancy, they are more REAL PEOPLE and made a life for themselves. and touched a lot of hearts along the way. The Tack Room will be awesome when completed and the other animals will greatly appreciate the loafing shed the horses passed down to them. Thanks so much for sharing with us, keep up the great work and videos. What you are doing for the Children and their families for Christmas is really a much needed lift up at this time of the year. Take care. Fred.

[@kenc1800]

[@tibetfruit2324]

Priceless podcast. Thank you for sharing the journey of good people in this World. We need more people like this.

[@TheHavasu_77]

That podcast was really awesome! The tack room is huge and spacious, I used to ride horses and can relate to how nice it is to have a nice tack room. I’m so excited to see what people will be at your place next week and why! Is it Chip and Joanna?? Lol!! Love you all and have a wonderful weekend.😊❤

[@donnavickery9623]

Love the horse stalls and the tack room. Also love that the sheep and rabbits get to use the other animal shelter. Your life is really coming together. You have manifested your dreams.

[@mamareed810]

Love how Eli's face lite up when he was talking about Rodeo-ing & seeing Tom. What an amazing trip & interview! There may be another family you'd like to interview on your podcast in Montana. This Family that lives in Libby. They Build Log Homes all around the USA. Their company name is Meadowlark Homes, & channel name Is Amish Meadows, Elvie is their CEO/spokesman/Patriarch. This is a family owned company that has been in the family for generations. They have a huge pavilion they are adding onto right now to build the Log Homes underneath, then dismantle them & transport them to their final location. Might be an interesting interview & both channels may gain more viewers. Oh, before I forget, are you going to seal off the tack room so no mice can get in there & chew up the leather?

[@shelleyfullalove3910]

Well your weather can spin on a sixpence, what a wonderful sight waking up to snow. The barn looks amazing now that the tack room is finished. Melissa a very happy momma. Jeremy your face 😂😂😂😂 “we’re not weird like that “😂😂😂😂 I’m glad the bunnies and sheep are getting a better winter home. Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧 😘😘😘

[@donnaalgren123]

So happy to see Eli enjoying time with Tom. He will never forget it!

Great tack room. Lucky girl to have such a great husband who understands your love of all things horses. Property looks beautiful covered in snow, we are expecting 32C (approx 90F) here today, summer just a few weeks away. Eli's little face lights up at the mention of all things rodeo. Amazing what you can hide behind a barn, don't worry, we all do it 😂😂💜💜

I’m so glad the barn is working out The tack room will serve you well. God’s blessings

[@MM-tw6cm]

Sometimes the "lost" feeling is due to the accomplished pile outweighing the "what-if" pile. Stop, admire, reminisce and then plan to refine -doesn't have to happen, but the what-if pile starts to outweigh the accomplish pile and sometimes that helps to point the needle back to N to needful feelings :) ! You guys are awesome !

I wasn't familiar with Tom & Nancy or the cable show Mountain Men bc I haven't had cable for years. Out of curiosity I continued to watch and I'm so glad I did. In my opinion, i believe this was one of your best podcasts yet and I truly enjoyed getting to know this lovely couple. Icing on the cake was watching Eli's facial expressions as he listened to Tom tell of his rodeo days! Great job guys👍🏻

[@johnaustin6649]

Watching Tom and Nancy on Discovery always left me wanting to meet them. I am sure their conversation would have been uninterrupted and hold me in awe at the story of their lives.

The barn is absolutely amazing. The horses are very well looked after and not a minute too soon given the snow. In Australia we are currently in spring 🌼 and heading to a very hot summer for Christmas! I am not a fan of the heat. 😂😂😂 laughed my head off when you two were moving all the tackle into the barn…..

[@LolaChacona]

Another great episode, thank you! I've heard about winter hitting your area and so thankful that you're as far along on Gabby as you are. At least you'll be dry and relatively warm while working in there. Love the tack room too - those items are too expensive to be on the floor and you'll be thankful that everything has a place and easy for the kiddos to get their saddles. The horses are beginning to love their stalls too. Have a great week y'all - your fan from NE Pennsylvania ❣

[@dharmaslife]

Yes! I’ve been wanting to comment on something that came up a few weeks ago and this fits right in… Melissa and Jeremy were mentioning something about people complaining or along those lines… I think we all know that Covid was not good for any of us socially! However, Covid is a time when some of my favourite KZbinrs really had a chance to grow their channels❤ We got used to seeing you all the time and much as we only see a part of your lives, you started to feel truly like friends and family❤ I happen to be homebound and this last year has been very hard as many KZbin folks have pulled back in order to find a healthy balance for themselves… I feel like I must be missing a lot of your videos! And then I realised I just miss you 😊❤
