Jim, your mom is remarkable to be so active at 88 yrs old!!! How wonderful for you and your siblings to have such a precious mother!!!❤ She is an amazing woman!

[@johnking8679]

As a 82 year old Grandfather, it was great to meet your mom Jim. I have been married for 56 years and my wife is a Registered nurse (Retired) now working as our church Bookkeeper !! I have ALWAYS had a deep respect for Moms !! They are indeed to be respected, and well looked after !! As you know Jim, you have an absolutely fabulous, hard-working wife in Brenda !! Seems that your daughter Abby, takes after her mom and is also an amazingly hard worker !! I love her channel, too !! Keep up your wonderful channel and may God Bless your entire family !! 🙏😄

[@valspannbauer3334]

It was a joy to meet your beautiful mom, Jim. What a truly lovely lady. You really are all very blessed to still have each other in your lives ❤

[@amcorke]

What a dear lady! You're so lucky to still have your Mum around.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Yes,made me think of my Mother who raised my 3 brothers and I. She was stern but fair with we children best interests at hand.Mom would be 115 now.

[@bobogilvie4472]

It is so nice for YOUR MOM to discuss YOUR CHILDHOOD . SHE IS A VERY GOOD ARTIST.

[@MiriamMNewby]

Jim, Your mom is beautiful. I love your big smile with your mom.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Jim and Brenda, Thank you for the opportunity to meet your wonderful Mom. She is a very kind and talented woman . It was wonderful for to relate to us viewers a few great happenings from Jim's younger days. Jim was born to be a great horseman. Which was generational . The wonderful memory of Jim's Dad Harry, first working with Jim's Brother to learn logging with a porter was great then when Jim graduated from high school Harry switched back to logging with horses so Jim could perfect his knowledge of horse logging . It's so obvious to me that with such wonderful parents .and their example of kindness and support really provided Jim a leg up on life .

[@user-wu7sn7ml7v]

All of the lady's in Jim's life are perfect❤❤❤❤.

[@lenireimer3243]

Notice they even got together and wear complimentary colors.--How lovely to meet Jims' mother--what a great idea to hear them reminisce.

[@louisecassidy5991]

I am curious as to that colour coordination. Was it contrived or a coincidence?

[@c0lvin4o]

Chicky and I are both 88, love the Lord and His Word,. and attribute long healthy lives to His grace. She is a beautiful Senior, and I note that Jim carries her looks (and I KNOW her Christian faith.) Now Brenda, it's your turn and we will be watching. I believe your Mom lives just up the road. And yes, I love to watch skippy.

[@user-tq7pl7en4d]

So nice to see and hear your Mom’s testimony! She is a treasure! God bless you all!

[@annsaenz291]

What a beautiful Mother you have Jim. Glad you were able to visit her and siblings plus Levi and the Grandkids along with your daughter in law. You and Brenda are blessed. Have a blessed day 🙏

[@grandpafischer8317]

How nice, glad to see your mom, cherish her as long as possible. Thanks for taking us with y'all out visiting.

[@johnkomosa9508]

What an Awesome Mom you have, Jim and Brenda! Love the color blouse and the vest, my favorite color. The paintings, owe my,, that tree bending over, was it a white Birch? Wow! She makes it look easy, impressive. Classy Lady. The Apple 🍎 does not fall far from the tree. I need to watch again and add a little more. 😊.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Hello Jim and Brenda, Jim your mom is adorable. Such a beautiful lady..Her paintings are beautiful too. Cherish your mom at being 88.. I can see why Brenda loves her so..Thanks for the question and answers..Which is worse on a horses feet cold or muddy and wet feet. God bless. Your mother reminds my grandmother. She was the best cook. 🌹❤️🙏

[@Mary-ze9kh]

Thank you for sharing Jim's mom with us. I can see where Jim gets his sense of caring from. She is precious. God bless all of you.

[@donaldwallace7934]

Jim, your Mom is a treasure!! God bless her!!

[@sueellenbennett7160]

Thank you Brenda and Jim for sharing your lives with us. The flowers will be lovely by the pond. Skippy is exactly how a puppy should behave, I had a Schipperke female and she too was a bundle of energy, as well as a herder. All of the horses that I rescued unconditionally were keepers, though I have retired from rescue, I still have my one and only horse (Alex) Alexander and he just turned 33. God bless you and yours... 🙏🏼

[@Richard-ml1te]

Jim you look so proud to sitting with your arm around your mum she looks like a sweet lady

[@toriwolf5978]

Aww love your mom Jim❤you have great family with Brenda And your mom and extended family❤❤love the stories she is so adorable ….please have her on again !!!she is just so so sweet…

[@ellyberghoef1866]

What a blessing to hear from Jim’s mom. Her testimony of God’s Faithfulness after her husband passed away is so touching. How remarkable that she is able to lead a support group and Bible Study at her home. What a blessing to you both, Jim & Brenda! Treasure your time with her! Thanks for the extra videos. 💗

[@micheledaniels6409]

This was such a treat. Love listening to the older parents talking about the things they remember and loved ones growing up. Such rich oral histories that sadly are lost all too often. Cherish your older relatives and learn about their lives all you can, you actually will get to a place in life when you wish you would have spent more time. Thanks for sharing and everyone have a great day.

[@cedric9839]

She's such a wonderful 💕 woman, blessings to all the Gordon Family.🎉

[@Jeremyurffer]

Jim, you and your mom's smile is the same. She is so adorable. May God keep blessing your whole family. .

[@suemick8709]

Jim's Mum is lovely. You can clearly see the deep love they have for one another. God bless.

[@Sinopi]

Mom is very stylish! God bless her!

[@redcanoe9810]

That's not resourceful...that's being an artist! A wonderful painting!!!

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Hi Jim & Brenda, thanks for taking us along to see you Mum, and a lovely lady she is, and so spiritedly for her age. enjoying the new format, keep it going guys.

[@jgraef919]

I love the "non working Jim and Brenda" videos.💖 I absolutely love seeing you both smiling so often. And both of your smiles are beautiful!! 😊Jim, your mom is precious. Brenda, you are remarkable sharing your admiration for your mother in law. You two are beautiful people!! Bless you.💖

[@cwise4819]

Jim, Thanks for sharing your Mom and her remembrances with all of us.

[@jon.landry47]

Jim’s mom is absolutely amazing? I wish her well.

[@joycehennequin8469]

No mistaking who Jim's mom is, they look so alike.l would have loved to have seen more of her art work as she's very good.Please send her my best wishes,lovely to meet her a real treat tha k you so much ❤

[@hayfork100]

I enjoyed meeting Jim's mom. Everyone would be happy to have her in their family. So sharp and pleasant for her age.

[@TheMuskokaman]

Jim, you're a carbon copy of your mother. Delightful to meet your mother!

[@marykelly7816]

My husband and I watch your KZbin channel and really enjoy you all sharing your farm life with us. God Love you all.

[@user-uu7eo9vv3o]

I agree with your mom,I’m 74 and my husband was 87. He passed away in January of this year and I’m doing things now that I never thought I would be doing. Keeping active helps a lot. I too am a quilter and I have been pleased with wonderful friends.

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

Jim looks like his mother. She looks amazing for 88.

[@1954israel]

What a great video with Jim's mom. She is such a sweet lady.

[@staciewilson5497]

Mr. Jim, your sweet Mumma is beautiful! I see where Abby gets her stunning looks from!

[@judyboyle9232]

Imagine having your newspaper delivered by horseback? How cool would have that been?

[@lotusflowerkumudini9574]

Oh how sweet, such a gem!! Thank you for sharing your mom with all of us!

[@AbleGoodman]

I LOVE your attitude toward your horses! When you let them live out their entire lives on your farm, they become family. I would do the same. We actually do the same, we just don't have big animals. For us, LG dogs, cats and chickens are it. I don't understand people who don't share our attitude, love and loyalty for their animals. IMO, animals know more than most humans suspect! 🐶🐱🐔❤❤🙏🙏

[@HensOnly]

Your mom is a dear! And she would have such wealth of information to pass down to the kids, grandkids! Cherish every moment you have with her!

[@NotKev2017]

Jim, you got your mother's eyes.

[@br927]

Love this! God Bless your Mom! I always loved to see Lady & Bill, Lady was his Lady! Buck & Bill, Now I like to see Bill & Baron! Ken is an all around horse!

[@suziesch]

Your Mom is so sweet. You have her smile.

[@stephaniemize321]

[@patscr8]

Excellent your testimony of God in your life and His guiding you in helping others is greatly appreciated. I am the Pastor of a church and I say God bless you my dear.❤

[@JamesMcGill-kr2qk]

Now we know why Jim is a good man. His upbringing shows thru his mom. I miss my parents and my in-laws. God has BLESSED the family greatly. Thanks for sharing this video well done. Skippy will learn about the horses and you can see how smart he is.

[@rosiamorrison6531]

Such a lovely Mother you have. Thanks for sharing her with us. 👍🙋🏻‍♀️🥰 Love the picture she painted, and her beautiful garden.

[@loriegreene9375]

Hello Jim and Brenda, What a wonderful video with your mother. She is a breath of fresh air. 🌷

[@RustyMeadowsHomestead]

❤That was a beautiful testimony “Mom”. God bless you.

[@vickiulrich6694]

I thoroughly enjoyed today’s visit with Jim’s mother. She certainly has a grip on life even at her age. I would never worry about what folks might think of your opinions Mom because without God to center and balance us we are directionless…much like the world today! I also wouldn’t get too awful upset and lose any much needed rest over Skippy because as he grows he will settle into farm life. Being part blue heeler will always make Skippy want to herd and guide the farm animals. He’ll learn what the other animals will and won’t tolerate of that I am certain. Brenda…your comments about your mother-in-law were so precious and I’m always glad to hear of good healthy relationships with in-laws but my opinion has always been you get out what you invest in with any relationship. I too had a great mother-in-law who like yours lived a very long life and worked as a librarian up to her 88th birthday. She lived to almost 90. I’m enjoying the extra visits and the content is just fine. Just a little mix to the farm goings on. Looking forward to what might be in the next visit but whatever you share with us…it’ll be good!!!:):):)

[@missbabs1959]

Well, what a refreshing video, your mom is the same age as my mom, and both love the Lord, and both like to work hard, Skippy is fine , and you are doing fine with him, Jim you resemble your mom, and you talk like her, Brenda nothing like having a precious mother in law, I had one also, and miss her dearly

[@normafollet7156]

I’m glad to hear that your mum is a God Fearing person, I’m a god fearing person too,😊❤🎉

[@luigi4559]

GOD BESS YOUR MOM AND THE WHOLE FAMILY GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU !!

[@henrydeyoung7689]

Really enjoying these question-and-answer videos. I wouldn’t worry about the cats and Skippy. If the cats aren’t declawed, which I’m sure they aren’t, they will take care of themselves with Skippy.

[@flyfliker]

Your mother is a treasure

[@gaylesmith1738]

I'm loving these q & a videos!! It was fun to meet your mom & hear her talk anout Jim and to hear about her relationship with God! She is a lovely lady!! Plus your barn scene...I never thought about those questions! Real interesting! Now I'm nervous about Lady having a foal & there being too many horses!! 😳 Oh dear...But, overall I'm really enjoying these videos! I love your family!! 💕

[@JeffRyman69]

It was wonderful listening to your mother. She reminds me of my mother who passed at about 88 in 2002. Although I didn't use a horse to do it, I had a Grit paper route too when I was a kid. Good memories.

[@arlysdavis3694]

I was blessed with great parents also. And I also was taken out of church and spanked for being too noisy. Thank you for the videos, they are fun.

[@ldirk58601]

This was so sweet. I loved seeing your mom! I sure miss mine. I took a quiz about what dog would be good for me as I am getting up there in the years and one said a Schipperke and I had a good chuckle. I havent got that kind of energy and I only have 6 acres 🤣 Thanks for the daily updates. A lot of work but much enjoyed.

[@gonzokompadre]

what a lovely lady

[@leonardryan8723]

Great video Jim & Brenda 😊. Lost my mom March 01 - 2024 at 92 yrs. Funnel is April 26 coming it her birthday 🥳 day to , just an Irish ☘️ thing day we come in this world 🌎 we make the same day go out for her . In joy your dad & mom because you will miss them when there gone . ( for sure ) one thing about Newfoundland and Labrador your in heaven 1/2 hr before the devil known your dead . Music 🎶 will be by Celtic Thunder ❤ .

[@donnadoering5125]

Your mom is a wonderful lady and still active doing things she loves. I’m 80 now just had total knee replacement in2023 last one was Oct 25th I’m now out doing flower beds and raking the lawn we have 3/4 acre. The Dr. told me that these things are good for keeping in better shape. So far my knees are great but I can’t kneel down yet it’s too painful. But things will get better with time. Love ❤️ your content and channel. From Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jamessparks2691]

Good time spent with your mom. Like the ending to your videos. Amish buggy horses moving down the road.

[@marleneottenbreit]

Thank you Jim and Brenda. I enjoyed meeting your Mom vicariously through your video. She is a sweetheart. I think her faith in Christ is strong and that has showed itself in the way you and your family live. I enjoy your videos on working with your horses but also on meeting your family. I have viewed some of Abby’s videos of working on her house, videos with both your daughters singing (very good voices by the way). You haven’t had much with Trudy and I pray she is okay. You shouldn’t feel that you have to show a video of Trudy, it isn’t any of my business. I just hope she is fine. Frankly if roles were reversed I would likely keep my private and family life to myself. Keep up the good work. I don’t watch all your videos but I do watch most of them and enjoy them very much. May God keep you and yours.

[@georgetadic6174]

What a classy lady!

[@Nia45838]

Lovely video. It is so nice to hear some old stories about Jim. Looking forward to hearing about Brenda’s track star days as well😊.

[@gentlegiants1974]

Wonderful video! The question about matching horses was good. I had a pair of horses, used them as leaders in a 4 up, and always drove them together, I just lost the one and am now working through the process of trying to make a big slow gelding work with a big fast mare, and it presents a challenge for sure. My boy is more of a "Ken", easygoing and slow, but strong like a bull, the mare is like a bull too, but a lot more snort and paw to go with it. They trot fine together when fresh or tired and you could drive them in a hitch in the ring together, but drop down a gear and hook on a steady load for a few hours and the difference jumps out at you. Your Mom seems like a beautiful and talented lady. Even younger people could learn a lot by listening to her.

[@thebossisback10002]

You made a great video for all of us to enjoy, and a great memory for you in the future. Keep asking her questions, I have so many questions for my grandfather and great grandfather, I was too young to seek the information that I would love to have today. My Great grandfather was a blacksmith, I’m not sure he worked on horses or on building items for the local mills in Massachusetts.

[@mariannegoudswaard3996]

Lovely to meet your mum. If you go to a sale, please take us with you!

[@mikelukes1798]

Watching you work with your horses you are particular about how you handle them
