I love listening to the elderly talk about times past. As a child I would listen to them talk while the other kids were playing. My grandma would tell me all about her life and her grandparents who were from Ireland, I would listen to her for hours. Having time with them is truly a blessing.
Me too. My mamaw and poppy got married and started a family later in life on account of ww2. Both (best anybody knew) born in 1916. My mamas grandpaw was born in 1900. Mom my great grandma was born in 1901 oe 02 i think. The stories ive heard....
One of the things I've always been happy with is the time I spent listening to Grandma, Grandpa and all the other old people talk about their life and times gone by. They were and are a priceless treasure trove of information.
This is a moment to treasure, especially when you have photographs, you are so lucky to have this! My grandparents perished long before I was born, but I did have a great grandmother, she was 98 when she died in 1977, I remember her having two kitchens in her house, one for dairy, and the other one for meat, and saying Jewish prayers over us at night when us little children would go to sleep at night in front of one of the fireplaces, I will never forget my ti es there as a child!
I'M so happy to have discovered Celebrating Appalachia! Where I come from, women don't cook and bake anymore.. they're too busy and can't be bothered. I, on the other hand, LOVE TO COOK AND BAKE for the people I love! I am thoroughly enjoying these stories because they remind me of my childhood..Thank you for sharing!!
What a precious lady. You're so lucky to still have her around. I miss my mama so much. I'm 63 & this past December 3rd she's been in heaven 20 years. Used to love to sit & listen to mama & daddy talk about their lives & stuff. I could sit for hours & listen to them even though I was a kid. Blessings to your mom, you & your family, Tipper! From rainy VA. 🌧
I love Grannys. They are the wisest people in our communities. I think it is just so wonderful that you are recording these oral histories for posterity. What a blessing. Thank you and say hey to Matt and the girls.
My Grannie (1924-2020) grew up on a peach and apple farm in south central Illinois so I loved hearing your momma talking about canned peaches. Well, I loved hearing her talking about everything. Thank you for sharing her with us. 🙏 God bless you Miss Louzine ❤
Oh Tipper, what a treasure! I interviewed all of my mom's brother's and sisters. I would not take a million dollars for the stories they shared. The laughter that we shared and the feeling they were stars being interviewed was almost overwhelming. I interviewed two sisters together, and I have never laughed so hard at each of them trying to outdo the other. Wonderful memories and histories for generations to look back on. Thanks again...Love it!
It was so refreshing to hear Granny acknowledge why so many of us don't have the time to can and preserve the way our Grandparents did. It is a source of guilt for me both because I was taught to do these things and food you grow does taste so much better.
Always love when you have your momma on. So blessed to still have her. I'm with Granny I can't hardly wait for a fresh tomato out of the garden. Makes your mouth water just thinking of a fresh mater sammich . Really enjoy your family Tipper put Granny on at least a couple times a month. Like to hear from Paul too and see what he's been up to. Looking forward to tonight's video of Dorie of the mountain's. Hugs and blessings to all of you. Stay safe.
Tipper, your mother is sooo very precious. I know you treasure every moment with her. My mother loved to crochet. She would have been 97 this year. I so enjoy hearing your mother talk about her life. Thank you so much!
I love hearing from the Grandladies about how life was back in their days. I was fortunate to know my Great-grandma, Marianna, we called "Babcia" (Polish for Grandma), and me and my sister, back in the late '50's & 60's would spend summer weeks with her & her daughter, my Great-Aunt Veronica and her husband, Uncle Bill. My Aunt was a very good cook, and I learned to make pie crust from her. Your Granny and Pap were such a handsome couple. I liked her place mats, the stitch and her colors that she chose to match her curtains! I like that she pays attention to detail like that! I'm 68 and I like that way of matching things! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You're both get 5 Stars!❤️
Growing up I was tight with all of my grandparents. Not many people can say they had one grandma who was born in the mountains of Norway and the other was born in a covered wagon in the Cherokee nation of Oklahoma. My Norwegian grandma skied to school. When she was two, her father made a pair of skis for her. I had cousins who hardly knew our grandparents and often ask me how I got so close and had so many stories of them and the struggles and joys of their lives. I just was interested in their lives and what it was like growing up. Just listen to them young people! Granny is a jewel, Tipper. My wife never learned to cook and couldn't even turn a stove on when we got married. I taught her what my mother and grandmothers taught me and she turned out to be one of the best cooks in the family. Love this channel.
I love, love hearing from your granny. There is not a single thing that I don't like hearing here her talk about. She is really a treasure with all the stories and life experience that she has. I miss my granny and love hearing from yours. There is nothing like the love of a granny!
I'm going to guess that Granny is the young girl sitting in front of her father at 4:29 seconds. Thank you for blessing us with this video of Granny. We find ourselves in the strange place of being just a hand full of people away from being the "Old folks" in our families at this time of our lives. It's a real treasure to know future generations of your family and any viewers of these videos will be gifted just by watching, thanks again.
Gd bless granny an y’all. She is one of the reasons I served my country. To protect her freedom and her right to live free and live a happy life full of good memories. What a wealth of knowledge she is. Young people set and listen to our elders. They will teach you how to love, live an go on to the other side the right way. Love all of y’all very much!❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️
@@rhondabutler4172 thank you mam. Some people exploit there reason for serving. I mam am just proud that the lord allowed me to serve and do a job that is needed. Go bless you and your family. ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Granny certainly is a special woman. I love to go visit, she is always crocheting something. I usually go to the gym in the morning then stop by to see her on my way home. In the fashion of true country hospitality, she always tries to feed me something or to stay and have lunch. She tells me stories of her family and we have a nice visit and all the time she is still crocheting!!
Granny is so sweet! I could listen to her tell stories about the old days for hours. Her placemats are so pretty, too, with the spring colors. Thank you for sharing!
My talking about kraut, pickled beans and corn, that is great eating. I live in SC, but my parents grew up in and around Copperhill,Tn., McCaysville,Ga., Wolf Creek, and Mineral Bluff. My great grandmother raised my dad, and they gardened everything summer making kraut,pickled corn and pickled beans. Yum.
God Bless you granny for your wisdom and memories...You sure are a precious jewel on this earth...may the Good Lord Bless and Keep you and your family Well and Safe!
What a sweetie pie! You are so fortunate to still have your Mama around. Mine passed on in 2006, and I miss her so. Thank you for doing this interview with her. We should all do this before it is too late. Thanks!
I love hearing about your mom's life growing up. My grandmother was from NC and I don't really remember hearing much of anything about her life, even though she lived to 105! Gazzie Truett was my 10th cousin. Very, very distant, I know. Both my husband and I are also related to you through your dad. 😀
Granny puts me in mind of my precious great grandmother on my Mom's side. Everybody in the family called her Mommy. Mommy used to tell us about what it was like when she was growing up. Mommy was a cook in a nearby school as well. She was well loved by the school kids. Fascinating to listen to what times gone by were like, especially in Appalachia. Times were hard, but in some ways they were better than today. Pap telling Granny he'd teach her to cook was so sweet! All that good cooking in your family was passed on from generation to generation and that's rare these days! ❤❤❤
My mom was raised in the mountains of Tennessee. I remember when my grandparents were still alive they told good stories . All the ladies were great cooks too ! Life was hard back then but had it’s good times too .
This reminds of my Grandma's, both of them! On Sundays after Church and dinner we would sit and talk of the past. I could sit for hours listening.God bless you and yours! ❤🙏
This is wonderful. It's so interesting to hear her stories and thoughts - especially in the last few minutes of the video. When you ask about the convenience of the grocery store vs. doing it yourself. "Some people don't can nothing." = a wonder in her voice like "how can they survive like that?" - "It's a lot of help in the winter time" = canning helps her provide for her family - "I just mostly make homemade soup and green beans" = and then you name several other items she cans hahaha - "So many of them have to work" = like she doesn't??? hahaha - Thank you for saving and sharing this conversation!
She is a beautiful treasure, I could just set and listen to her forever. You guys are a sweet family. Good people I can tell. Thank you for sharing her.
God bless her. The things she has done and the things she has seen over the years. So sweet Tipper. Thanks you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Cherish her.
What a sweet lady. She reminds me of my Mama who lived to be 97. She was a wonderful cook and loved to feed people. She had gardens, canned and preserved fruits and vegetables. Enjoy every day with your Mama!
It's really great hearing her, I miss my Granny's quilt making, she also made doilies and needle point. She loved sawing on her treadle sawing machine.
Nice to see all those old photos and to hear Granny reminisce. It's always helpful to be reminded that nobody is born a great cook, even if he or she's lived long enough to have perfected a number of recipes.
God Bless her. She reminds me so much of both of my late grandmothers. They grew up more in the Piedmont during the Great Depression in North Carolina but they sounded just like Granny accent and all.
Tipper, your Momma is such a dear sweet, sweet woman. Tipper it's still snowing here. We have a 28 inch snow drift in front by the door. We're having 30-35 mph winds. The freezing rain and sleet stopped around 7 AM. Then the snow started. Supposed to stop snowing around 9PM tonight. I love your family videos with these sweet interviews. Thank you Tipper.🌹❤🌹
Tipper your mom is so sweet and soft spoken. Loved hearing her talk about her life growing up. And learning to cook. I loved when she said when she and your dad were courting she told him she couldn't cook. And he taught her some.she is awesome. Thank you for sharing her with us.
So glad to see this. Hopefully all is still going very well for Granny and you too. Enjoy hearing about your daily lives. Praying for all of the people hurt by Hurricane 🌀 Henlen and home towns getting rebuilt. Lives being put back together. Heard about local musicians playing in home town. (The artist community. ) This Lifted my spirits up so much. As I get from hearing your voice Tipper. Your stories. Your life. Thank you for sharing. Blessings sent to you and your family. ❤
Both of my grandmothers taught me how to make biscuits. Both were from Eastern Tennessee. My grandma on my mothers side made water biscuits...grandma on my fathers side made buttermilk biscuits. I used to make them for my wife and children at least twice a week on weekends and occasional weekdays. Of course, I included sausage gravy and eggs. It was always a debate which was better. I am partial to the water biscuits because I spent more time with grandma on my mothers side...but both were really good. I have slacked off since my children got married and moved away. This video has convinced me to start making both types again. I'm the only one in my family that can pass this along. Thank you for this channel...you are helping people like me understand the importance of passing along what we have been taught by our Appalachian families. It includes much more than biscuits, as I'm sure you know.
I just had to watch this again. I love the stories of the elderly. Santa Maria, CA is the strawberry capital of the world. 45 miles from where I grew up. The sweetest and juciest strawberries I've ever had.
I was born at home i was born in a very small town in the Sao Miguel Azores. My grandmother was the mid wife in my little town. there was no electricity there at that time .I was almost 4 when we came to America in !966. have been here ever since. Your stories of Appalachian reminds me of the old country. Loved listening to granny! Such a beautiful family.
Tipper your mom is so precious. She has such a sweet smile 😃. I'm glad she is still active crocheting, canning and those placemats look great. You can see by the old photos when she was younger that you look like her.
I am a new subscriber to your and your daughters channels. I love each and every video so far your cooking to the girls singing. I have being bing watching all day. And I have like every video. I am not big on commenting on peoples video's but I had to respond to this one. My Nannie was the love of my life and I miss her even after twenty years. Listening to your Granny reminds me of her. I don't know her but I fell in love with her in this video.
Granny is such a “Peach”! What a blessing that you have these talks on video. She reminds me of my Granny. I have a crocheted Angel I’m going to mail you. A good friend of mine used to make these but she’s moved to her daughter’s house now. Maybe Granny or Korie can figure out the pattern. I use mine as a bookmark in my Bible but I have also seen them hanging up or on a Christmas tree. 😇
What a blessing she is! Reminds me of my own Granny, who's birthday is also in March. My little sweet Granny will be 90 this year. Hard to believe. I could listen to the Grandma's talk forever and a day! They have so much to teach us! And we have so much to learn! God bless!
This made me tear up. She reminds me so much of my great grandmother, Eva. I’d give anything if she could be here to see how I turned out. I know I’ll see her in heaven. But, I’d give anything to talk to her now. Thanks for documenting all of this - it means the world to me. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing Granny with us. I can see why you and your daughters are so nice! It’s fascinating to hear about her younger life. I am 56 years old and have never seen anything being canned. It’s a different life! 💖
Granny reminds me of my Grammy Loretta who passed away this year. She outlived her husband by 20 years and then passed on his birthday. She wrote every one of her 10 kids and 50 grandkids cards on their birthday, even after it became difficult due to a stroke. I'll always remember sitting with her as a little girl and hearing stories just like this ❤
I prsy for Granny and her health that God would reach dowm and completely heal her.
I love listening to the elderly talk about times past. As a child I would listen to them talk while the other kids were playing. My grandma would tell me all about her life and her grandparents who were from Ireland, I would listen to her for hours. Having time with them is truly a blessing.
Me too Trey
Me too. My parents were older so I bonded with other old folk too.
Me too. My mamaw and poppy got married and started a family later in life on account of ww2. Both (best anybody knew) born in 1916. My mamas grandpaw was born in 1900. Mom my great grandma was born in 1901 oe 02 i think. The stories ive heard....
And now I'm one of those elderly grandmas
😊
I think Granny is just delightful and I could listen to her talk all day long.
One of the things I've always been happy with is the time I spent listening to Grandma, Grandpa and all the other old people talk about their life and times gone by. They were and are a priceless treasure trove of information.
Thank you for sharing this special moment and great conversation with us all. ❤

Granny is a doll. I like the picture of her and her mother and frosty the snowman ⛄️ 😊
Your mother is precious. She reminds me of my grandmother, so humble and a quiet demeanor. All the best👍
I love Grannys. They are the wisest people in our communities. I think it is just so wonderful that you are recording these oral histories for posterity. What a blessing. Thank you and say hey to Matt and the girls.
What a special lady. I just love to her her stories.
precious, and what about those beautiful brown eyes!
Awesome video! I’m 79 and used to sit around listening to the old folks talking. Nothing in the world like it!
My Grannie (1924-2020) grew up on a peach and apple farm in south central Illinois so I loved hearing your momma talking about canned peaches. Well, I loved hearing her talking about everything. Thank you for sharing her with us. 🙏 God bless you Miss Louzine ❤
I enjoyed listening to her how wonderful. What a wonderful blessing.
Just love your mama ♥️ I pray Gods hand upon her until he is ready for her.🙏
Oh Tipper, what a treasure! I interviewed all of my mom's brother's and sisters. I would not take a million dollars for the stories they shared. The laughter that we shared and the feeling they were stars being interviewed was almost overwhelming. I interviewed two sisters together, and I have never laughed so hard at each of them trying to outdo the other. Wonderful memories and histories for generations to look back on.

Still learning...a new stitch every day is great. Everyone should learn from this amazing woman. Great that you have her on record for all to watch.
😀 Thank you!
Oh, Tipper, I just love your sweet momma🥰 Bless her sweet heart. I wish I had recorded my mom telling stories. So sweet❤️
Thank you 😀
Tipper, your mother is sooo very precious. I know you treasure every moment with her. My mother loved to crochet. She would have been 97 this year. I so enjoy hearing your mother talk about her life. Thank you so much!
What such a lovely woman!❤ She makes me smile!
What beautiful placemats your Mom has made, and they'll make such pretty settings. Thank you (and her) for visiting!

Loved the interview with granny. People are learning about the old ways again; especially canning up food😌
My talking about kraut, pickled beans and corn, that is great eating. I live in SC, but my parents grew up in and around Copperhill,Tn., McCaysville,Ga., Wolf Creek, and Mineral Bluff.

How I wish the food would go down lord I could listen to her all day long and then some
I love hearing about your mom's life growing up. My grandmother was from NC and I don't really remember hearing much of anything about her life, even though she lived to 105! Gazzie Truett was my 10th cousin. Very, very distant, I know. Both my husband and I are also related to you through your dad. 😀

I lost my Mother when she was only 45 years old.
🙏 😪 💞
Love the stories from that generation if only ours could be so wise and humble. Take care
Bless you, Granny. I agree, a garden is one of God's treasures we can delight in. Such a treasure to delight in the stories of our elders.
She is a beautiful treasure, I could just set and listen to her forever. You guys are a sweet family. Good people I can tell. Thank you for sharing her.
God bless her. The things she has done and the things she has seen over the years. So sweet Tipper. Thanks you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Cherish her.
Thanks so much Donnie 😀
What a sweet lady. She reminds me of my Mama who lived to be 97. She was a wonderful cook and loved to feed people. She had gardens, canned and preserved fruits and vegetables. Enjoy every day with your Mama!
Thank you, Tipper, for sharing your sweet mama with those of us who no longer have ours with us. What a kind, gentle soul! ♥️

Loved hearing from Granny. Miss my grandma 🥲
There's no substitute for experience.
She's a wonderful person. Kind of want to hug her once and sit a spell by the fire.
😀
What a sweetheart! Seems to be sharp as a tack! How fortunate to have someone like her in your life.
Tipper, your Momma is such a dear sweet, sweet woman.
Tipper it's still snowing here. We have a 28 inch snow drift in front by the door. We're having 30-35 mph winds. The freezing rain and sleet stopped around 7 AM. Then the snow started. Supposed to stop snowing around 9PM tonight.
I love your family videos with these sweet interviews. Thank you Tipper.🌹❤🌹
So glad you enjoyed it! Wish you could send me some snow 😀 Stay warm!!
Tipper your mom is so sweet and soft spoken. Loved hearing her talk about her life growing up. And learning to cook. I loved when she said when she and your dad were courting she told him she couldn't cook. And he taught her some.she is awesome. Thank you for sharing her with us.
😀 Thank you Linda!
So glad to see this. Hopefully all is still going very well for Granny and you too. Enjoy hearing about your daily lives.
Praying for all of the people hurt by Hurricane 🌀 Henlen and home towns getting rebuilt. Lives being put back together.
Heard about local musicians playing in home town. (The artist community. )
This Lifted my spirits up so much.
As I get from hearing your voice Tipper. Your stories. Your life. Thank you for sharing. Blessings sent to you and your family.

Both of my grandmothers taught me how to make biscuits. Both were from Eastern Tennessee. My grandma on my mothers side made water biscuits...grandma on my fathers side made buttermilk biscuits. I used to make them for my wife and children at least twice a week on weekends and occasional weekdays. Of course, I included sausage gravy and eggs. It was always a debate which was better. I am partial to the water biscuits because I spent more time with grandma on my mothers side...but both were really good. I have slacked off since my children got married and moved away. This video has convinced me to start making both types again. I'm the only one in my family that can pass this along. Thank you for this channel...you are helping people like me understand the importance of passing along what we have been taught by our Appalachian families. It includes much more than biscuits, as I'm sure you know.
Thank you for the kind words!!
I enjoyed this so much. Your mama is the sweetest thing, I love her quiet and calm demeanor. And your Pap was quite the looker! Great video 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
Granny is precious!
I just had to watch this again. I love the stories of the elderly. Santa Maria, CA is the strawberry capital of the world. 45 miles from where I grew up. The sweetest and juciest strawberries I've ever had.
I was born at home i was born in a very small town in the Sao Miguel Azores. My grandmother was the mid wife in my little town. there was no electricity there at that time .I was almost 4 when we came to America in !966. have been here ever since. Your stories of Appalachian reminds me of the old country. Loved listening to granny! Such a beautiful family.
What a blessing Granny is.... And she was a looker back in the day! You got some good roots, Tipper...
😀 Thank you!
Much love from the Motor City. Where people never really get the chance to just enjoy life ...You're precious Gran Mama
I just lost my 90 year old mom on January 16 and this sweet lady reminds me so much of her❤️
Oh my, I am so very sorry. There's nobody, like our Moms.. Mine's been gone many years.. May God comfort you..
What a sweet conversation! I could listen to Ms. Granny all day ❤️
I'm a widow now and really miss cooking for my loved ones.
Tipper your mom is so precious. She has such a sweet smile 😃. I'm glad she is still active crocheting, canning and those placemats look great. You can see by the old photos when she was younger that you look like her.
I am a new subscriber to your and your daughters channels. I love each and every video so far your cooking to the girls singing. I have being bing watching all day. And I have like every video. I am not big on commenting on peoples video's but I had to respond to this one. My Nannie was the love of my life and I miss her even after twenty years. Listening to your Granny reminds me of her. I don't know her but I fell in love with her in this video.
Welcome and thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy our videos and I'm glad you enjoyed Granny and that she reminded you of your sweet Nannie 😀
She is just precious ❤ 😊
Granny is such a “Peach”! What a blessing that you have these talks on video. She reminds me of my Granny. I have a crocheted Angel I’m going to mail you. A good friend of mine used to make these but she’s moved to her daughter’s house now. Maybe Granny or Korie can figure out the pattern. I use mine as a bookmark in my Bible but I have also seen them hanging up or on a Christmas tree. 😇
That is so sweet-thank you Rhonda 😀
I love Granny and hearing her tell about her life.
My grandmother was very important in my life. She was always so kind & very loving.
What a blessing she is! Reminds me of my own Granny, who's birthday is also in March. My little sweet Granny will be 90 this year. Hard to believe. I could listen to the Grandma's talk forever and a day! They have so much to teach us! And we have so much to learn! God bless!
Your Granny sounds wonderful 😀
This made me tear up. She reminds me so much of my great grandmother, Eva. I’d give anything if she could be here to see how I turned out. I know I’ll see her in heaven. But, I’d give anything to talk to her now. Thanks for documenting all of this - it means the world to me. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing Granny with us. I can see why you and your daughters are so nice! It’s fascinating to hear about her younger life. I am 56 years old and have never seen anything being canned. It’s a different life! 💖
I love listening to granny❤
Granny reminds me of my Grammy Loretta who passed away this year. She outlived her husband by 20 years and then passed on his birthday. She wrote every one of her 10 kids and 50 grandkids cards on their birthday, even after it became difficult due to a stroke. I'll always remember sitting with her as a little girl and hearing stories just like this ❤
So sorry you lost her-she sounds wonderful 😀
Just precious. Loved hearing your Granny’s sweet stories.
I enjoy your videos with your mom ❤
Love listening to granny's stories
Love chats with Granny, She's adorable!
She sounds like my great granny maw. I miss her so much.😢❤
All that cookin and whose cookin has made me hungry! Sure miss my Momma's and Nanny's cookin! Beautiful! Loved it!
I wish I could sit and talk with my mother, grandmother and great grandmother again. What a treasure.
Love when you talk to.your mother. ❤
