 Oh my goodness y'all is Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks and we have officially moved and I am going to show you what we've been doing for the last few days and why we haven't been making a lot of videos because we are so busy moving. So I just want y'all to look at the stuff. This house is so much smaller than the one we just moved out of and you don't realize it. Look at the stuff in our kitchen. This is all kitchen stuff from my other house and dining room. Look at it. Is that not crazy? This is the laundry room. Look y'all. Have you ever? Yes we did go to the liquor store and get boxes. We haven't been drinking that much liquor okay because the liquor store has boxes. The cat is in her litter box and won't come out. She's very nervous. I feel so sorry for her. Come on Joey and you can get up. Look she looks like a rabbit. Look this is our garage. It's really small. It's about a 20 by 20 and so anyway I want y'all to see that we really have been working. We have been packing like crazy. We have been working ourselves to death cleaning up the other house. Been painting some trim but look at all this stuff I've got to put up. Stuff, stuff, stuff. Looks like we've been to the stuff mark. When you've been somewhere for what 18 years you really do accumulate a lot. Yes I'm tired and I haven't put on makeup in days. So look this is our sun room. We've got boxes out here too. Say hello Chris. Hello. Chris says hello. Now I'm gonna go show you our master bedroom. I don't even know how I'm gonna get on the bed. Chris has got to move stuff off my bed just so I can go to sleep and y'all I feel like I want to just lay down right now. I've still got paint on me. Look, clothes. Look at all the stuff we've got to do something with. And I mean y'all I'm not kidding. Tell them what we had before we left. Tell them. Tell them. No, about the dump. Tell them about the dumpster. Oh we filled a whole 15-yard dumpster full of stuff plus all the stuff we gave to Goodwill. We gave a ton of stuff to Goodwill. And we still have this much stuff in this house. Now when we showed this house on YouTube it was shown in a wide angle view. This house is not near as big as it looked on YouTube. This house is right about 1500 square feet okay with no basement. We only have one closet and we had two closets this size in our other house. So we really have downsized y'all. I know y'all probably don't believe it but we have absolutely downsized. And you don't realize how much until I had these stacked. I had all this stacked up in my house and it just didn't seem like it was that much. So when I came in here I just got here after Chris. Chris drove in first and then there's May. May tell them how you what you did with your hair so they'll know they haven't seen you yet. The purple was fun for a while but it's not purple anymore. And I didn't want to re-diet because I didn't want to go through that process again and I didn't want to like over-process my hair and I had grown enough root so that I knew if I shaved it I would have no more purple. That's what I did. So tell them who shaved it. Mom did. I shaved her hair y'all. She looks like I did when I had cancer. I think she's got a beautiful head. Look this is May's room. She's been here for a couple of hours so she's already unpacking and getting stuff done. You know what? I wish somebody was here to help me too. I'm gonna tell y'all I am so tired. Look at this child. How she's rolling up her shirts and putting them in her drawers. And this is her snake cage. Yes he came with her. And look at all her stuff and that's her gaming TV. And so Amy stayed behind with Kaysha and she doesn't have near as much stuff in her room. Amy got rid of a lot of stuff I think. But this is Amy's room. Amy and Kaysha are going to stay there for the realtors and they're going to the realtors are going to stage the house so they're actually bringing in stuff to stage it because most of my stuff was older you know and they wanted to knew so somebody would want to buy it or whatever. And so they stayed there with them. Here's our bathroom if y'all haven't seen it. They stayed there with them. This is the girls bathroom. It's just white. All white. I love white anything because I can bleach bleach bleach. But anyway the girls stayed there. Kaysha's going to work for a couple of weeks and then they're both coming down so we will have three grown girls here living with us for the rest of the summer until this pandemic is over until they can all go to college they will be staying here with us. So me and Chris thought when we came down here we were going to be empty nesters. Well let me just say we now have three dogs, one snake, one cat and three grown girls. And Dr. Moss you want to show them your moths? Oh is he really? Which refrigerator is he in? Okay we'll show y'all her Dr. Moss. Tell them what it is. People call them moss balls or marimos but they're technically algae. He's been in the fridge for a bit because they have to live in cold streams. He's just a little ball of algae. So he's algae and he lives in cold streams. So May puts him in the refrigerator and she changes his water once a week. Why did I move? Okay we moved because Chris is retired. His dream has always been to be near water. We've lived in Paulding County since he was six months old. It was close to my home and close enough to his. He started we we got to Paulding County. We didn't live in Collard Valley. I grew up in Collard Valley. Okay I married a coach and so we moved a good bit when the kids were younger. When we got to Paulding he decided to go into administration and he quit coaching and we wound up there for this is our 18th year. So we moved here because his dream has always been to be near water and he's always had to drive a long way to go fishing and we would always spend a lot of time. We used to go years ago to St. George Island and Appalachicola. Then we bought that little trailer in Pensacola. We went down there and we felt like if we bought this home here in this area it's a small town. No traffic. Not metro Atlanta anymore. Got a big yard. Got a place for a garden. There's rivers all around us. Yes we are in the floods on here. There's rivers around us. There's the ocean around us. We can get on the boat and go over to Cumberland Island and see wild horses. There's just all kind of stuff here to see and do. It's a beautiful little town. My mother passed away last summer so I don't have her to take care of. Me and Chris have been watching after her not in our home but watching after her buying her doing everything that she needed since 2013. So we felt like with the girls graduating we just wanted to go somewhere where it was near water a good place to retire and this is where we wound up and we really did think that we were going to be here by ourselves but this COVID has changed everything. We had not planned on moving until the summer was over and Amy graduated high school. Well they called that off. We decided to go ahead and put our house on the market before you know months down the road after because I don't know what's going to happen to the market. What town is it? It's St. Mary's Georgia. We are about an hour below Savannah. Chris talked to them about why you wanted to move here fishing. Because I wanted to be able to fish and get to the water easy. Because I know a lot of people can't believe that we left family and yeah came down here and most people never do that. They think about it they dream about it but they never really do it. I figure our family can come live with us. Yes. Tell them how much Amy don't like it. Oh Amy just don't like it because she don't know anybody. We don't know anybody either. We don't know anybody here either. We don't know anybody when we moved to Dallas. No we didn't. But y'all thanks for being patient. You can see how busy we have been. You can tell that we have a lot to do. I may come on live a little bit for the unpacking but please be patient. We will be showing you know a few reruns. Of course I've got to get in the kitchen and start cooking because you know right now you can't really go out and this is a smaller place than where we just came from. But oh my gosh I really am just overwhelmed with how much I have to do. Look at that. Can you believe it. And we brought our fish. There's our fish. Chris caught one and I caught one and we're gonna hang them out in the sun room. So anyway this is my cow. I think we're really gonna like it here and I'm hoping that that garden out there produces a lot of food. I'm hoping to get can and keep my stored canning in this big laundry room and I mean there's just so much we want to do and I'm excited but I really am exhausted. We have worked non-stop all week. So thanks for being patient. Thanks for watching Color Valley Cooks and pray for everyone with COVID. Of course everyone in the front lines and pray that we will get all the stuff put up and not be too you know not overdo it too much. I'm ready to go hit the sack. That's where I'm ready to do. The last few nights we've been playing games with the kids. We played Scrabble and we played phase 10 and that's been fun. So I hope some of y'all get to play games with your kids and grandkids during all of this. It's really bringing families closer together even if it is a terrible thing to have to do. It's still making us spend more time together making us cook. Things that we you know doing things that we haven't done in a long time. Most of the time the world today we do good to get in a couple of meals a week but now we're having to cook all the time and you're probably already getting tired of your food. So look up some good recipes and make something different out of one of my cookbooks because they're all good recipes and most of them have simple ingredients. So we will check out I just got here Chris came in before me with the moving truck and I stayed behind and did the last minute cleaning and painting and I'm just coming in the door. So this man will work until I make him stop. So you look at him. He's working now. What are you doing and loading my car? What are you doing? Oh he's gonna put that in my closet. Good. I work closet. We don't have an yours and his and hers anymore. We have a just a single hour closet y'all. So anyway I know it's getting boring. So I will talk to y'all soon and hopefully be cooking pretty soon in this kitchen and y'all can watch me with the boxes piled up for a few days. But I love you. Yeah you are. I feel like it. Yeah I'm gonna sit out a while for my hair but I forgot because I'm stupid.
