  • Clara refused to let age become an obstacle to her abilities. She used a push mower to mow her lawn until she was 91. If she couldn't get a ride (or wait for a late ride) she would often walk into town to get what she needed done.

      I do the same thing. Clara Wass still so endearing . And she still is endearing on film and as long as these videos stay up she will spread her warmth to new viewers everywhere. I am so grateful that her family chose to keep these up! Thank you very much.❤️

    My husband thinks I'm nuts too. We just had the oven repairman around and I cleaned inside, outside, and behind. Why? I didn't want him to think we are pigs... And... Because I'm sure they appreciate a clean working environment in a stranger's home. I would...

      I remember our toilets water kept running. Called a repair man. Of course I cleaned my bathroom and gave the toilet a cleaning just before his arrival. Do you know he thanked me when he was done . He said you'd be surprised what I have to work with! I never forgot that. Poor guy. Id be mortified to have someone come to do a service repair and the especially that area not be nice and freshly cleaned. Im with Clara. 🥰

    My husband's grandma who lived to 107 had these huge terra cottages potted plants.
    Even until her 90s she wanted them out in the sun during the day in winter and in at night.
    Huge pots, like for a small tree.
    She'd ask my husband to move the plants after work.
    If he had to work late which was a couple times every couple weeks, when he got there the plants were already moved. By her.
    She lived alone, with help from family and neighbors until age 102.
    Then another 4 years with her daughter, the last months in a hospice.
    Born 1899
    Passed in 2006
    107 years.
    Parts of 3 centuried.
    Strong women!

    Haha, the arm-wrestling! We used to do that with my nonna, too, and her hands and arms were always so strong! She gave the best shoulder and back rubs because she could press and massage with more force than just about anyone else. We asked her why she was so strong, and she said that she grew up scrubbing the wooden floors on her hands and knees, and cleaning and polishing the coal-fired stove (it had chrome trim that her mother wanted to shine like a mirror) every day, and then when her sister married, she also took over her sister's chore of making all the bread by hand. I guess that would do it!

    Clara reminds me of my great aunt, Sadie Ruth. Everyone called her Aunt Bubba. She was born at home in 1920; the youngest of nine children that lived. She lived through the Depression and had the best stories of of the "old days". She would make a lot of the same meals and coffee was a big part of her life. To this day her coffee is some of the strongest I've ever had. No one could drink it black, like she did. She smoked at least a pack of Lucky Strike no filters a day starting all the way back in 1942! Never had cancer, emphysema, or any other health issues. Mentally clear and lived on her own. Ate three meals a day. Never snacked between meals. Up every morning at six o'clock and in bed by whenever she felt, but never before nine at night. She never drank either. She passed away in 2009 while I was stationed in Italy. It broke my heart that I couldn't attend the funeral. She died in the house she was born in of a massive and sudden brain aneurism. She is my favorite relative and I miss her dearly. Women like her and Clara are hard to come by these days. You're doing the world a great service by preserving her life and memory for future generations!

    This makes me miss my grandparents. I miss Ms Clara too. All her recipes really hit home. My grandparents raised me. Ms Clara reminds me of my grandmother, strong as an ox but wouldn't admit it til I'd tease her about it. I'd give almost anything to go back for one day to talk to them.

    I miss Clara so much! When she talked it was as if you were sitting with her visiting in her kitchen. Loved her and still love her. You had a smart grandmother! Thank you for continuing her channel!
