      Hallelujah.. my mom was born in 1925.. and her mom my Wonderful Gramma in 1901.. they went through the Depression.. I still remember the stories They told of RECIEVING tickets to buy only a certain amount of flour.. Sugar.. salt etc.. I was born at the end of 1945... I too seen some ruff times Growing up.. food.. clothes shoes...etc.. we were poor..we got Meat for dinner ONLY ON SUNDAY.. Unless my stepdad killed wild game and brought it to her.. rabbit.. Squirrel's.. frog's ( for frog legs). Eel.. fish.. pheasant.. Deer... So because of our Garden ..& neighbors my mom put 3 meals aday on the table.. we wasted nothing.. left overs were heated up and a new item added to make a new meal.. and you ate what was cooked.. what you put on your plate.. if you didn't eat it.. your plate went in the refrigerator for the next day for you to eat... Like I said we were poor..we wasted nothing... .. my mom's Old Clothes became my new clothes and my old clothes became my sister's new clothes.. my Mom even used her old clothes to make shirts for my brother.... ..

At least we can FaceTime and talk on the phone to our loved ones. I hope it makes people stronger and makes them not depend on takeaways and learn how to cook ect.

    Miss you Clara. Your generation is desperately needed today. We were lucky to have you in our lives via youtube, and your grandsons efforts. We learned so much from what you shared. They don’t make them like you anymore. The next generation might just become the 2nd of the ‘Greatest Generation’. I’m germinating, and planting out potato’s, bell peppers, peas, tomatoes, and building my hen house god willing. Can’t wait to share my harvest with family and neighbors. Going back and prioritizing through hard times to come, a more simple sustainable localized way of life.

      My great grandmother was born to two Italians from Naples. When I was either in middle school or high school (I forget), I did an ancestry report for class. I asked her “Grandma, are we from Naples or Sicily - I forget.” I’ll never forget her response, because I’d never seen such a look of horror and shock (and basically offensive disgust) from her lol.
      She turned around and stared right into my soul and said slowly and clearly, “WE ARE FROM NAPLES AND DON’T YOU EVER FORGET IT!!” I didn’t; that’s for sure! She was the most wonderful relative in my whole family and was always jovial and cracking jokes - that was the most serious I’d ever seen her.
      I initially couldn’t understand why she came off as being offended for my simple request for clarification, but later on I figured it out: there was quite the difference in the peoples and culture from central Italy and the southern island of Sicily. For the most part, Sicilians were generally much darker from having been more affected by breeding with Africans in their history, to the point that northern and central ltaIians thought of them as basically bIack and not related haha.

The first video I watched of her she was making dough in a large tote with about 20 POUNDS of flour!! She never even broke a sweat and at one point her grandson (who is the videographer)if she was having a hard time and she says 'Ahhhh it's not so hard' and THAT is why you don't mess with an Italian Momma/Nonna! She has the strength in her forearms to backhand you across a room if you backtalk her! LOL

Never ever wore makeup or shaved her legs was her natural self never smoked did drugs or got drunk. She was born in 1907 died aged 95 no women like her around no more and she was strong and fit. Said never complain about anything and work hard in all you do. Her other moto was if you make a mistake learn from it dont repeat it and release and move on.

People had only a few changes of clothing and a pair of shoes. We stand in front of our packed closets and moan,"I don't have a thing to wear"!

Made me think of her experiences, as well as my mom( born in 1918, in the Spanish Flu pandemic) and dad and others. Heard their stories and good advice, yet my life has for the most part, been in “ better” times, prosperity, etc. much can be learned from Clara, practical tips but also that resilience, sense of humor and no fear of work. Thank you for sharing this. I discovered Clara, not long after we lost her, so wish she was with us. Thank you also for doing what you did to document so much from her and sharing with us,

      It's crazy to think how the 2010s were this century's equivalent of the Roaring 20s. We didn't realize that we were living in the good times until they had passed.

    It's surprising how many people don't know how to cook. I'm going to post my favorite, Poor Man's Meal, on Facebook for people to use. Thank you so much for these videos.

      You're so right there, I come from an age where we cooked everything fresh you can't beat home cooking. I think we've become a lost generation, very sad.

      @@julieelcock8477 Hopefully this will get them cooking. My young adult girls are doing their part by showing their friends how to cook. I'm going to try getting some neighborhood cooking classes together after this is over. There are so many things that can be cooked and served faster than going to get take-out.

    I love this little lady, she's so sweet and reminds me of my great grandmother, who raised 5 children through the depression. I'm blessed to have had her into my 20's to share her knowledge. Priceless!

    Isn't it interesting how relevant her advice is today!
    My granddaddy was a WW1 veteran. He married my grandmother in 1925. He sold a few hundred acres he had inherited, bought 4 houses cash money (no mortgages), bought 3each 1-acre plots of land to garden, he was a master gardener. One house was the family home, he rented out the other 3 houses. He worked the plots into gardens, rotating each year through the plots growing vegetables. My grandmother put all the produce up in mason jars. They did this all the way up until the 1970s. My granddaddy raised rabbits, chickens, and honey bees. He had a job as a postman walking a route w/ a big leather bag.
    This is how he supported himself, my grandmother, my great grandmother, 6 children, and the neighbor- a little old man whose wife passed away- through the Great Depression and the WW2 homefront years.
