In 10 days, I will be 88. I am so blessed because we lived with my Grandmother and I slept with her for 16 years until her death at 87. She was amazing as she never had been to a dr., never had a prescription drug, never took an aspirin, never had a surgery. I was surrounded by older people in my naborhood and interacting with them, respecting them, and doing errands for them was a normal part of my childhood. My grandmother (Babcia) was my other Mother. The biggest difference between my Grandmother at 87 and me at 87 is our outward appearance. Im like Nanny with makeup, jewelry, and stylish clothes. My grandparents were immigrants from Poland who came to this Country with nothing except courage, determination, perseverance, and strong work ethics. I am so proud of them.
I love your comment. We too grew up much like Nanny and yourself. I always loved the elderly people as each was a story book. I am 10 years younger than you and I totally understand and applaud you and Nanny. I too also love the same things Nanny and you like/enjoy! Blessings and keep that spirit going...........we all need to!! ❤
Nanny , your video today was important and much needed. Just as you learned from and appreciated your grandparents, you are now this generation’s teacher. This kind of video is your strength and you looked beautiful while presenting it! Thank you.
Oh Nanny I can’t believe you will be 88 soon You are so awesome and young at heart I hope I’m just like you when I’m 88 too 😊 I too remember memorising the Catechism at School 😊Love You Moosie & All Your Beautiful Family ♥️♥️♥️
Your grandkids are very lucky to have such lovely and lively grandparents! Three of mine died before I was born, but my mom's mom, Daisy, lived to be 96, and was the kindest most lovely Nana to us all. Nothing like a nice tomato sandwich, with salt! x
I have always been very attuned to the needs of older folks!!! My husband’s paternal grandmother lived with us from 1981 until not long before she passed away in 1999. She suffered a debilitating stroke in 1981 which left her unable to live alone any longer. Our daughter was just a toddler when she came to live with us, so she was able to experience so many wonderful times with her great grandmother. Our daughter was a freshman in college when Grandma passed away. Sherry had learned her letters and could read simple words and write her name even before she started kindergarten because Grandma spent so much time playing with her and making a game out of teaching her the abc’s. There is absolutely very much that can be learned from older family members. Our daughter was enriched beyond measure by having her great grandmother in her life every day.
❤❤ Hi, nanny. That was a great video today. And I'm not right there with it. Not quite as old as you, but I'm 79. I had coffee with my 93-year-old friend this week. And we had such a nice visit, just hurry up Chatting. Up at the donut shop. By the way she drove over there in her mustang..
Nanny you are amazing!!! I love all your videos. I will soon be 78 and today I’m going to my first great granddaughter’s birthday. I’m so thankful and blessed.
Oh Nanny, how nice to hear that loss of energy goes with the territory. This year I have noticed a big difference in energy . . . I really get frustrated with myself that I cannot do as well as I used to do. You always inspire me to hang in there and keep trying. Love and all blessings for you and the Moose and thank you for all you do.
I loved my grandparents ❤. Soon to be 74 myself and still miss them. They were a very important part of my life. Too many are not available to their own grandchildren today😢.
Loved both sets of my Grandparents, and learned so much from them!!! I wish my daughter-in- law would listen to this , so she would bring grandchildren More to our home❤❤❤
Hello Nanny! I loved your perspective on aging and how we can help our grandkids to appreciate us and realize we have much to offer. I think society in general writes off those who are elderly; youth is highlighted so much in this world. But your perspective on how us as grandparents can be fun to be with, not just ones who need to be cared for. As we age, we face many health struggles, but having the right attitude and I don't want to become a crabby, negative old lady. I will be 65 soon and I feel pains and problems getting worse so it can be a struggle to keep positive. My husband is dealing with a serious lung condition as well and it is so hard seeing him struggle. I so love your videos! They keep me encouraged and keep me going and I especially enjoyed this one Nanny! We have a new grandchild (our first!) he will be 1 year August 22 and I want to be a positive, and fun grandma for him. Thank you for your words of wisdom! Keep the videos coming! They sure do help and encourage! Love to you and Moosey!🥰💝💕 Geri
I so enjoy your videos Nanny. I've been away for a bit helping hubby with two surgeries in five weeks. It's a lot as you know how that can be. Love your dress, it looks so cool and light and airy.....nice for the heat! You look lovely with all your turquoise on. Love it and love the layering as well. As your grandchildren greet you and pitch in, we also have grandchildren who do the same. Very blessed and they were all raised being very helpful and respectful. We've always traveled with them or they with us as it usually is and love to do so with all the kids to reunions and the like. Enjoy your sun, my tomatoes are just now flowering here in the PNW and I don't see any fruit on them yet, so I may not get any unless we go into an Indian Summer mode. I love those. The tomato sandwiches remind me of growing up........yummy so good. That and some of my garden lettuce sounds good for a warm summer evening....perhaps a stick or two of bacon and some avocado slices as well............yum yum. Blessings to you and Moose and enjoy summer as you can...........wishing I lived closer to San Diego as we used to. It was always a joy to travel down and go to old town and just sit by the water. So so beautiful!
Love you both and Shamu too. I'd love to have a family like yours. I grew up being very afraid of old people. Now that I am old, I wonder how the youngens feel about me. I never see them but enough of that. I pray often for all of them tho. Bless you both.
When I visit my 3 Grandchildren, it warms my heart that they come running to hug me. I never realized how much love I could have for them. We also discuss aging and they say they wish that I could live forever. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.😊❤
Hi Nanny,I love your chats and i spent a lot of time with my Grandmother and i'm so happy i did she was a great cook she dressed very plain no makeup not like me at 80 because i'm following you Nanny and i love it ... tomato sandwich has always been a fav of mine.. Thanks so Much for Sharing this was a lovely Chat ❤❤❤❤❤
Greetings Nanny! Yes, I do think it helps for children to be around their grandparents and other elders. That way they don't think it's so strange to be aging. Love to both of you! Blessings ♥️🙏
That was a lovely video and I'm encouraged by you with my own Grandchildren as I try to show them my interesting history and navigate them as they grow hope I can offer them as much as you have
Hello dear Nanny! Another great video. You and Moose have such a wonderful rapport with all your children and extended family. This intimacy comes from your own example and interaction with your children and grand kiddos. Not all relationships flourish such as this for many reasons which is sad. The old adage "Children learn what we live and the examples we set" rings true. Being present and interested with our children and grand children is key to the relationship. There are too many absent parents who have put their careers and self ahead of the nurture of their children and the time and intimacy that it requires. I never knew my grand mother on my mother's side as she died quite young and I was not close to my paternal grandmother who was distant and busy with her life. I believe it is and must be a choice to interact and nurture these relationships. Analogy....a plant without sunshine or water dries up and dies , such are relationships. As the continual care of a garden, feeding it, watering it and a commitment to its growth and flourishing is essential to growth so are our relationships to our children, grand kiddos and friends. YES! I love a fresh tomato sandwich...on crusty bread and some mayo! Ok, I have arthritis....but I'll deal with the possible stiff joints! Ha, ha...I saw your two wrist watches! Love the one with the wedding photo! What a lovely idea..."Time shared" All for now...time to pick a tomato and make that sandwich.....Hugs from an arthritic nana in Pa. :)
Reading this now, Charlotte…haven’t had breakfast yet….YES! A tomato sandwich with Mayo and lettuce sounds great…I’ve also been putting small bean sprouts on them lately…thanks for sharing, my friend.❤️
Good morning Nanny and Moose. Thank you for another interesting video. Speaking of attention, care and love that younger people give to older people, from that I know from experience and from seeing what happens to parents and grandparents in this country, it’s very sad. My generation was like yours, the attention given to our parents and grandparents was like that, they always came first with much love. Today the youngest people don’t care, they only care about their needs and well-being and their parents and grandparents only serve to satisfy that. Attention and affection it’s very rare to find, which is I admire your family so much. Love you Nanny. Have a nice weekend. God bless you all.
Hello Nanny you are so full of wisdom I wish I can sit at your feet and download all that wisdom like a student at sage's feet love and God bless you and Moose
What a delightful video!! I felt like I was just hanging out with you. I am also a grandmother and my 7yr. old grandson, noticed my wings as I call them on my arms this last summer. He was just amazed !! He feels of my arms all the time and told me later in the afternoon, he loved to feel my soft skin. I laughed and said, Well I am so glad!! You and Moosie are just darling together. Love you both and that wonderful family of yours.
Hello Nanny, Love your important videos on the various aspects of the aging years!! I wonder if it's possible to buy seeds for tomatoes.. Hope you'll find a solution to the tomato shortage soon!! I share your love for good quality tomatoes❤❤ so nice to see Mathew and his beautiful wife!! You look so beautiful too!!!!
Lovely Nanny, and I love seeing your family. You and Moosie are so blessed. I love how when your babies in the family grow up that they will have your videos to watch and get to know you both 🙏🕊 ❤
Hi from Annie, you look lovely and comfy cool in that outfit and teh hat. The big watch is nice great for telling the time without needing glasses. It is so nice that the kids always think of you both you could never be lonely or alone. Matt looks so very much like moosy but with darker coloured hair. Your family has a lot of repect for you both and are all so very caring too. Here is colder weather winter of course I find that hot water bottle comes in very handy these days. Tomatoed can be fried and that makes it safer to eat so I heard. The also have more vitamins that way too. Keep cool take care, god bless.😘😘
I live in Pa and I do love summer because now adays at 70 yrs old I cannot handle the cold 😂 I can only imagine how hot it must get out there in Calif ❤
Nanny, I am also a big fan of home grown tomatoes. My tomato plants have all burned up I'm the heat this year, so I have no tomatoes. But I picked up a container of large heirloom tomatoes at Trader Joe's last week and they were delicious!
Nice video Nanny! I love your take on aging. You inspire me so much. Your attitude and lifestyle works for you because you are such an awesome lady. I am like you. I like to stay busy and that helps soo much. I think partly it's all in the attitude of how we age. Having a good attitude is so important. I always loved talking to my mother ,asking her questions about her life . My grandparents weren't around but I got alot from my mom. I took care of both my mom and dad until their health started failing. I would do it over in a heartbeat. I miss them so much. You will never know how much I respect, enjoy you and love you. You are so lovable!! 😊 Hugs to you and Moosie. ❤❤
Hi Nanny, keep aging gracefully my friend 🤗 I’m having some back issues and some injection done for this pain middle of August. Therefore I have time to lay more and catch up with some of my favorite YT channel friends…🤗 Lea ( Beauty Over 70 With Lea )
Very interesting video, Nanny. I like how you include God and his plan for us. You are so lucky that you have that wonderful grandson of yours, Dane. I was able to be around my daughter and son-in-law's children for most of the time when they were growing up and my had the same curiosity and said she liked the veins in my hands, of all things. My husband and I are still very close to the 3 of them and they are in their 20's. On the other hand my son and daughter-in-law's children who have always lived much further away have a much different relationship. I so much loved my grandma and she really looked old as far as I can remember. I only wish I asked her more questions about her past. I was 15 when she passed. My older son likes fantasy baseball too.
Thank you so much Nanny! I ordered the alarms. I understand your problems with the heat! Our summers here are always too hot, (I stay in a lot) and I always look so forward to autumn! My poor grandmother was from Denver (grew up on Long Island Sound), and when she tried to visit us here in Texas in the summer, she didn't tolerate the heat at all. The heat just is harder on us Golden Girls, I think. I too think it's important to educate kids about the aging process...they need to understand why we are changing. Your Dane is a real gem and a super fantastic teenager! ☺🥰Thank you for a great video!
Davids wife) same on tomatoes! My daughter when she was younger asked my mother in law why was her muscles were upside down! Lol! 😂 Always enjoy your wisdom!❤
Mary Ellen, I was a nail technician for almost 50 years and I noticed that nail (Left hand middle finger) several months agon appears to be a fungus and you really need to cut it down and apply some anti-fungal treatment on it. (Kerasol) is good. Some fungi can spread to other fingers as well My suggestion would be to keep the polish off your nails until that heals. Also, keep them really clean and wear gloves when you do outside work in the garden because the bacteria in the soil can be very damaging as well. I hope you dont mind my comments and suggestions. Love your videos and I hope this helps you. God Bless. Nancy H
Thank you, Nancy,,, At first I thought it was due to the arthritis… there is no fungus that I can see….but I will take your advice and try the Kerasol…❤️
such a sweet video.... my grands run to see who can hold on to me 1st.... lol now my sons have to stand back and watch..... I love the attention.... and I ask myself 'do i really need all this attention?" shoot yes !!! lol can i see a picture of your toilet lift? love your informative videos.....
I had a full set of grandparents plus’s 2greatgrandparents when I was born We lived with my mums parents till I was 3 ,Grandad was my idol he would take me for outing and was a Hugh part of my life he died when I was 19.i am 80 now and still miss him.I spent all my school holidays with them ,every Saturday I would wait at the bus stop for him to come,it was a train and a bus,he would bring my brother and I a comic ,he made a bunny by folding his large white hankie up ant let us listen to his pocket watch tick,😊happy days
Hey Nanny - another great video! You look adorable in that hat, I love it. I absolutely adored my grandparents - my maternals were five hours away and owned a gentleman’s dairy farm. I would visit for a couple of weeks in the summer and have a ball running around the barn with the cows and Fred the foreman. In the winter, we would visit, and would ice skate on the pond with our cousins. I wish we had lived closer to them. My paternals lived in the same town as we did, so I was with them a lot. Grandma taught me gardening, cooking, sewing, painting and playing the organ. She later gave me her baby grand when I started formal piano lessons. She made me my first bikini (McCalls pattern) for running through the backyard sprinkler. Did you know James McCall was Scottish? Remember Betsy McCall cut out paper dolls in the McCall’s magazine? Having such a great love for them easily transferred to an affection for older people. They are so wise and they have such great stories to tell and wisdom to share. I’m glad your grands see that in you and Moosie. They are so lucky that you are putting a lot of your stories, family occasions, memories and wisdom in videos. Plus, those books you did for your kids are priceless. I wish I had something like that now. Nanny, you have such good ideas! Did you get to look on Amazon for those readers with blue light blocking? I just got two new sets and they are oversized and really cute. I have always had oversized prescription glasses, I just like the look. I hope you are sleeping…that B1 complex surprisingly is helping me a little, not every night, but any progress is good. Stay cool, don’t over do, and keep hydrated. Sending love and blessings to you, Moosie and Shamu ❤❤❤
What a wonderful upbringing you had LarLar…with your grandparents…on both sides…AND the memories are unforgettable…I worked for Vogue Patterns as a visiting ambassador and rep in large department stores in Scotland …didn’t know about Mc Calls then.. Thanks for sharing, my friend..❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose - I remember the Vogue patterns - that must have been so much fun, you are such a good seamstress. I’m sure it sounds funny, but when I think of Scotland, i don’t think of department stores, I think of seaside villages , lush green pastures, beautiful cottages, sheep in the road, and those shaggy Scottish Highland cows. Lol, kind of like the movies! I always wanted to go. I was named after a Scottish song, one of my Mom’s favorites, “Annie Laurie ”. I hope you and Moosie are having a nice weekend❤
Hi there bless you work so hard and find time to do all these videos as well not easy to sort them and put them up for us , and shopping doing your house work and taking care of your self Moosie and Shamu , what a girl you are , I keep eating tomatoes and I shouldn’t but find it to hard not to I love them as well and the arthritis as well . We have had more rain than sun not been to good for us in UK we all hoping we get a bit of sun for August , your nails looking great glad your having company for supper that will be lovely . Mmmm that desert looks scrumptious. See you soon thank you loved seeing you 💕💕🥰
My granddaughter says I am squishy. I tell my grandchildren that if I wasn’t old I wouldn’t have them, and I’m squishy because they need to sit on my lap and get the best hugs, and the squishy grandmas feel so much better. We did all our grandchildren’s child care. We are very involved with them still. I want them to have cherished memories of all the time spent with us.
There is research to support what you say, Nannie. Children that have a positive relationship with their grandparents while growing up adjust to their own aging process better than those who haven’t had this wonderful gift in life. Also, young people who decide to become a geriatric nurse/doctor or a gerontologist usually have had a positive experience with their grandparents! It matters!
Hi not everyone with arthritis are allergic to tomatoes (nightshade vegetables and fruits) , I have things that spike my joints but not tomatoes, sugar and carbs much worse. Thanks as always for the chat xxx
Nannie, do you have a farmer's market near you? It's a great place to get delicious tomatoes of every kind, AND you can save the seeds of your favorites to start next spring and grow your own.
Hi Nanny your video about aging was interesting. Just like you when I was young I always enjoyed talking & being around older people & now I'm one . On a totally different subject I.ve been trying to buy the large combs you've showed & used many times .Know it's an Amazon item & I've purchased a few but never the exact ones which are a Great Size. If you could Please give me the name of the product it would be appreciated . Thank You
Nanny do you have a farmers' market near you.. I live in West Virginia, and they always have tomatoes grown locally. I live in a townhouse and no room for growing vegetables. so, the Farmers Market helps to get fresh vegetables. I too have arthritis and boy do I love tomatoes too. We can just suffer for a short time to enjoy a great tomato sandwich. Love you both.
Please try the Conivore diet... I sleep great feel wonderful ...eat meat eggs ..its all over UA-cam ...Dr Ken Berry ...Dr Anthony Chaffee...etc etc etc please you will thank me 🤩❤️
In 10 days, I will be 88. I am so blessed because we lived with my Grandmother and I slept with her for 16 years until her death at 87. She was amazing as she never had been to a dr., never had a prescription drug, never took an aspirin, never had a surgery. I was surrounded by older people in my naborhood and interacting with them, respecting them, and doing errands for them was a normal part of my childhood. My grandmother (Babcia) was my other Mother. The biggest difference between my Grandmother at 87 and me at 87 is our outward appearance. Im like Nanny with makeup, jewelry, and stylish clothes.

What a blessing they were for you..all the best 🥰🇨🇦
What a blessing they were for you..all the best 🥰🇨🇦
Excellent remembering the Baltimore Catechism..I was saying it with you..🎉
Nanny , your video today was important and much needed. Just as you learned from and appreciated your grandparents, you are now this generation’s teacher. This kind of video is your strength and you looked beautiful while presenting it! Thank you.
Oh Nanny I can’t believe you will be 88 soon You are so awesome and young at heart I hope I’m just like you when I’m 88 too 😊 I too remember memorising the Catechism at School 😊Love You Moosie & All Your Beautiful Family ♥️♥️♥️
Nanny, you did so well with all those kiddies and kidlets to be respectful and helpful human beings!😎👍
Nanny I love the windows behind you they are beautiful, I am such a fan of lace and love your decor in the windows❤️.😊
Life is a precious gift, ✨️ and you certainly make the most of yours and embrace it, i find that so comforting ☺️ ❤️
So love your attitude sweet Nanny. Have a blessed weekend.
Your discussion was very relatable and meaningful to me. One of my favorites of yours, Nanny.
What a wonderful topic, Nanny. You think of everything. So many good points, many that I, too, have given thought to. Love you too, Nanny. :)
Your grandkids are very lucky to have such lovely and lively grandparents! Three of mine died before I was born, but my mom's mom, Daisy, lived to be 96, and was the kindest most lovely Nana to us all. Nothing like a nice tomato sandwich, with salt! x
You are lovely, Nanny, and I love your thoughts on aging. I am 70 and still easing into getting used to doing some things differently. ❤
Matthew and Cindy are just adorable. Matthew looks so much like Moose. Such handsome guys for sure. Love you Nanny 🥰 and Shamu also 💕
Cindy is adorable and such a sweetheart!
I have always been very attuned to the needs of older folks!!! My husband’s paternal grandmother lived with us from 1981 until not long before she passed away in 1999.

Hello Nanny! I loved your perspective on aging and how we can help our grandkids to appreciate us and realize we have much to offer. I think society in general writes off those who are elderly; youth is highlighted so much in this world. But your perspective on how us as grandparents can be fun to be with, not just ones who need to be cared for. As we age, we face many health struggles, but having the right attitude and I don't want to become a crabby, negative old lady. I will be 65 soon and I feel pains and problems getting worse so it can be a struggle to keep positive. My husband is dealing with a serious lung condition as well and it is so hard seeing him struggle. I so love your videos! They keep me encouraged and keep me going and I especially enjoyed this one Nanny! We have a new grandchild (our first!) he will be 1 year August 22 and I want to be a positive, and fun grandma for him. Thank you for your words of wisdom! Keep the videos coming! They sure do help and encourage! Love to you and Moosey!🥰💝💕 Geri

What a delightful video!! I felt like I was just hanging out with you. I am also a grandmother and my 7yr. old grandson, noticed my wings as I call them on my arms this last summer. He was just amazed !! He feels of my arms all the time and told me later in the afternoon, he loved to feel my soft skin. I laughed and said, Well I am so glad!! You and Moosie are just darling together. Love you both and that wonderful family of yours.
What sweet things come out of the mouths of children, Carol…❤️
Hello Nanny, Love your important videos on the various aspects of the aging years!!
I wonder if it's possible to buy seeds for tomatoes.. Hope you'll find a solution to the tomato shortage soon!!
I share your love for good quality tomatoes❤❤
so nice to see Mathew and his beautiful wife!! You look so beautiful too!!!!
So true Nanny. Don't lk summer heat.
You always share such wisdom! Thank you Nanny!❤
Matthew looks like he’s lost weight. Matthew sweet to spend time w his Dad🙌
WOW. Cindy is a very nice Daughter-in- law , and bringing dinner 🥘 0🍲 ❤❤🎉🎉
Lovely Nanny, and I love seeing your family. You and Moosie are so blessed. I love how when your babies in the family grow up that they will have your videos to watch and get to know you both 🙏🕊 ❤
❤❤What a jewel you are.
Another wonderful video! Thanks, Nanny!
Hi from Annie, you look lovely and comfy cool in that outfit and teh hat. The big watch is nice great for telling the time without needing glasses. It is so nice that the kids always think of you both you could never be lonely or alone. Matt looks so very much like moosy but with darker coloured hair. Your family has a lot of repect for you both and are all so very caring too. Here is colder weather winter of course I find that hot water bottle comes in very handy these days. Tomatoed can be fried and that makes it safer to eat so I heard. The also have more vitamins that way too. Keep cool take care, god bless.😘😘
Thanks for sharing today, Annie..❤️

I live in Pa and I do love summer because now adays at 70 yrs old I cannot handle the cold 😂 I can only imagine how hot it must get out there in Calif ❤
My sweet hubby squeezes the seeds from a tomato and plants that. We always have tomatoes here in Florida.
Wow…I’m going to try that, Mary!❤️
Nanny, I am also a big fan of home grown tomatoes. My tomato plants have all burned up I'm the heat this year, so I have no tomatoes. But I picked up a container of large heirloom tomatoes at Trader Joe's last week and they were delicious!
Oooo…I’ll do that,Phoebe❤️
Nice video Nanny! I love your take on aging. You inspire me so much. Your attitude and lifestyle works for you because you are such an awesome lady. I am like you. I like to stay busy and that helps soo much. I think partly it's all in the attitude of how we age. Having a good attitude is so important. I always loved talking to my mother ,asking her questions about her life . My grandparents weren't around but I got alot from my mom. I took care of both my mom and dad until their health started failing. I would do it over in a heartbeat. I miss them so much. You will never know how much I respect, enjoy you and love you. You are so lovable!! 😊 Hugs to you and Moosie. ❤❤
Thsnk you, Trudy, for the very nice comment.❤️
Hi Nanny, keep aging gracefully my friend 🤗 I’m having some back issues and some injection done for this pain middle of August. Therefore I have time to lay more and catch up with some of my favorite YT channel friends…🤗 Lea ( Beauty Over 70 With Lea )
Thanks for commenting,Lea❤️
Very interesting video, Nanny. I like how you include God and his plan for us. You are so lucky that you have that wonderful grandson of yours, Dane. I was able to be around my daughter and son-in-law's children for most of the time when they were growing up and my had the same curiosity and said she liked the veins in my hands, of all things. My husband and I are still very close to the 3 of them and they are in their 20's. On the other hand my son and daughter-in-law's children who have always lived much further away have a much different relationship. I so much loved my grandma and she really looked old as far as I can remember. I only wish I asked her more questions about her past. I was 15 when she passed. My older son likes fantasy baseball too.
Cute observation of the hand veins, Patsy. Thanks for sharing.❤️
Thank you so much Nanny! I ordered the alarms. I understand your problems with the heat! Our summers here are always too hot, (I stay in a lot) and I always look so forward to autumn! My poor grandmother was from Denver (grew up on Long Island Sound), and when she tried to visit us here in Texas in the summer, she didn't tolerate the heat at all. The heat just is harder on us Golden Girls, I think. I too think it's important to educate kids about the aging process...they need to understand why we are changing. Your Dane is a real gem and a super fantastic teenager! ☺🥰Thank you for a great video!
Thank you for sharing , Jeanie..❤️
Hi Nanny,
I enjoyed the fun chat!!!❤
I ordered the alarms. Rosie is going to college soon and that makes me feel better about it
Davids wife) same on tomatoes!
My daughter when she was younger asked my mother in law why was her muscles were upside down! Lol! 😂 Always enjoy your wisdom!❤
I’m just picturing that…and such a unique and cute observance.❤️
Amen....my mother never talked about her parent's much....or grandparents...she never had a sister..all i know is they were framers and well known...
Hi Nanny .. ❤
Mary Ellen, I was a nail technician for almost 50 years and I noticed that nail (Left hand middle finger) several months agon appears to be a fungus and you really need to cut it down and apply some anti-fungal treatment on it. (Kerasol) is good. Some fungi can spread to other fingers as well My suggestion would be to keep the polish off your nails until that heals. Also, keep them really clean and wear gloves when you do outside work in the garden because the bacteria in the soil can be very damaging as well. I hope you dont mind my comments and suggestions. Love your videos and I hope this helps you. God Bless. Nancy H
Thank you, Nancy,,, At first I thought it was due to the arthritis… there is no fungus that I can see….but I will take your advice and try the Kerasol…❤️
The color on the nail (green/brown) indicates a fungus. It also appears to have moved down the nail itself so it is advisable to treat it asap!
such a sweet video.... my grands run to see who can hold on to me 1st.... lol now my sons have to stand back and watch..... I love the attention.... and I ask myself 'do i really need all this attention?" shoot yes !!! lol can i see a picture of your toilet lift? love your informative videos.....
Thanks for sharing your ‘grandma happiness’,Linda…❤️🥰

Love you, too,RIA…❤️
Hey Nanny - another great video! You look adorable in that hat, I love it. I absolutely adored my grandparents - my maternals were five hours away and owned a gentleman’s dairy farm. I would visit for a couple of weeks in the summer and have a ball running around the barn with the cows and Fred the foreman. In the winter, we would visit, and would ice skate on the pond with our cousins. I wish we had lived closer to them. My paternals lived in the same town as we did, so I was with them a lot. Grandma taught me gardening, cooking, sewing, painting and playing the organ. She later gave me her baby grand when I started formal piano lessons. She made me my first bikini (McCalls pattern) for running through the backyard sprinkler. Did you know James McCall was Scottish? Remember Betsy McCall cut out paper dolls in the McCall’s magazine? Having such a great love for them easily transferred to an affection for older people. They are so wise and they have such great stories to tell and wisdom to share. I’m glad your grands see that in you and Moosie. They are so lucky that you are putting a lot of your stories, family occasions, memories and wisdom in videos. Plus, those books you did for your kids are priceless. I wish I had something like that now. Nanny, you have such good ideas! Did you get to look on Amazon for those readers with blue light blocking? I just got two new sets and they are oversized and really cute. I have always had oversized prescription glasses, I just like the look. I hope you are sleeping…that B1 complex surprisingly is helping me a little, not every night, but any progress is good. Stay cool, don’t over do, and keep hydrated. Sending love and blessings to you, Moosie and Shamu ❤❤❤
What a wonderful upbringing you had LarLar…with your grandparents…on both sides…AND the memories are unforgettable…I worked for Vogue Patterns as a visiting ambassador and rep in large department stores in Scotland …didn’t know about Mc Calls then.. Thanks for sharing, my friend..❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose - I remember the Vogue patterns - that must have been so much fun, you are such a good seamstress. I’m sure it sounds funny, but when I think of Scotland, i don’t think of department stores, I think of seaside villages , lush green pastures, beautiful cottages, sheep in the road, and those shaggy Scottish Highland cows. Lol, kind of like the movies! I always wanted to go. I was named after a Scottish song, one of my Mom’s favorites, “Annie Laurie ”. I hope you and Moosie are having a nice weekend❤
Scotland IS all those wonderful picturesque things, LL…but the large Department stores were in Glasgow and Edinburgh…❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose - gotcha!👍🏻❤
In a family such as yours it can be possible but not all children have the same attitude towards aging 😊
Hi there bless you work so hard and find time to do all these videos as well not easy to sort them and put them up for us , and shopping doing your house work and taking care of your self Moosie and Shamu , what a girl you are , I keep eating tomatoes and I shouldn’t but find it to hard not to I love them as well and the arthritis as well . We have had more rain than sun not been to good for us in UK we all hoping we get a bit of sun for August , your nails looking great glad your having company for supper that will be lovely . Mmmm that desert looks scrumptious. See you soon thank you loved seeing you 💕💕🥰
Hoping the sun shines nice and warm in August for you, Jean…❤️
Right on, Nanny.❤️
My granddaughter says I am squishy. I tell my grandchildren that if I wasn’t old I wouldn’t have them, and I’m squishy because they need to sit on my lap and get the best hugs, and the squishy grandmas feel so much better. We did all our grandchildren’s child care. We are very involved with them still. I want them to have cherished memories of all the time spent with us.
How wonderful for your grandkids,Andrea…AND for you…❤️
❤❤❤
Remember the Baltimore Catechism too!!!
There is research to support what you say, Nannie. Children that have a positive relationship with their grandparents while growing up adjust to their own aging process better than those who haven’t had this wonderful gift in life. Also, young people who decide to become a geriatric nurse/doctor or a gerontologist usually have had a positive experience with their grandparents! It matters!
That’s interesting, Pam…❤️
Hi not everyone with arthritis are allergic to tomatoes (nightshade vegetables and fruits) , I have things that spike my joints but not tomatoes, sugar and carbs much worse. Thanks as always for the chat xxx
i love tomato sandwiches with mayo, salt and pepper
Yummy, Patti…❤️
Nannie, do you have a farmer's market near you? It's a great place to get delicious tomatoes of every kind, AND you can save the seeds of your favorites to start next spring and grow your own.
I’m going to look around…Martha…❤️
Hi Nanny your video about aging was interesting. Just like you when I was young I always enjoyed talking & being around older people & now I'm one . On a totally different subject I.ve been trying to buy the large combs you've showed & used many times .Know it's an Amazon item & I've purchased a few but never the exact ones which are a Great Size. If you could Please give me the name of the product it would be appreciated . Thank You
Camila Paris French Extra Large Side Hair Combs..Amber Celuloid..(pkg of 2) Amazon.com..❤️
Nanny do you have a farmers' market near you.. I live in West Virginia, and they always have tomatoes grown locally. I live in a townhouse and no room for growing vegetables. so, the Farmers Market helps to get fresh vegetables. I too have arthritis and boy do I love tomatoes too. We can just suffer for a short time to enjoy a great tomato sandwich. Love you both.
I’m trying to find one locally…went out today and hunted down 2 plants at a nursery…have high hopes!!❤️
Nothing better than a homegrown Indiana Tomato sandwich.
My mouth is watering….🤪❤️
I'm wearing a caftan
Darn, Nanny. I won’t be here in 2060.
Nanny, if that nail is brown, black, or a combination, and it’s getting larger or darker, please see your doctor.
I didn't know tomatoes were bad if you have arthritis.. I wonder why .
Please try the Conivore diet... I sleep great feel wonderful ...eat meat eggs ..its all over UA-cam ...Dr Ken Berry ...Dr Anthony Chaffee...etc etc etc please you will thank me 🤩❤️
Just plant a tomato seed from a tomato you eat.
I’ll try that, Kerry❤️
Why are you wearing two watches
I explained it in the video, Camille…to remind me yo get a new battery when I was out…❤️
Tie the sleeves before you put the dress on
