Thank you Jen and Barbara! I was glued to my screen with a smile on my face the entire time! LOVE the wisdom and stories of our parents generation! I hope you do this again sometime!
I love your mom! So amazing that you got those stories on film. Too many people don't spend the time with their parents or grandparents to hear the amazing stories they have. Would be up for any more videos you can think of with the two of you.
I LOVE this! Your mom’s so engaging. I felt like a part of her adventures. I miss the golden age of flying...the perks and freedom no longer available I experienced as a 70’s kid my children can’t imagine 💐
Heartwarming! Absolutely heartwarming! Beautiful lady! I love to hear about the past as it is what shapes and allows our future😉. Glad she your Mom shared her stories with your boys. Keep up the stellar work! Best wishes always, Lori
I couldn't love this more. You two are so cute together and I love that we get to see part of what makes you YOU!! I love that you will always have this story in your mom's own words and voice. That is truly something to treasure
I enjoyed this video very much! It was a pleasure to hear all of your stories and interesting to learn some of the history. I also loved getting a couple of peeks of your adorable pooch pup in the background.
Cindy, I was just so honored she said yes! She's been so supportive of this youtube journey from day 1 so having her on the new channel seemed perfect to me.😍😍😍
I stumbled across this video..and I don't think I've ever seen one quite so..I don't know..WHOLESOME. I appreciated this from multiple standpoints, but particularly as flight attedant who started at the very end of the 'goleden age' (1977) and will be working my final flight come this November when I will retire my wings.
Jen and Barbara that was awesome! My mom was a Stew for United I think during or close to the same timeframes although she did it for a few more years. I love listening to her stories! I will share this video with her. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Loved this interview. My husband worked a short stint at Pan American Airlines in 1969. I remember seeing stewardesses back then. They always seemed so glamorous. That was also the summer the 747’s were delivered. An exciting time.
From someone who is has been in the airline industry for 34+ years, thank you, thank you, thank you! My career has taken me from working in the airport to jetting the skies (flight attendant).., and later management. So right about today's business, not at all like the good'o days. It has become a form of public transportation - neither good nor bad, it's just the way it is. Since I am a child of deregulation, your mother's accounts about the Golden Age were absolutely beyond adorable. More importantly, permitted me to learn even more about how my foremothers paved the way for each of us still in the flight attendant biz. Again, thank you and may God bless Barbara and your family. ps. That dog is real cutie..., consider him/her for your next interview. :)
Were you guys in this video? All I saw was a very beautiful puppy dog. Kidding! Love this video. Great story and insight! I see where you get your amazingness, Jen! Well done, Barbara.
Barbara, thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into your early life. You are so sweet! Thank you, Jen for sharing your lovely mum with us! Small input (you know it wouldn’t be me otherwise), as a person with hearing difficulties the background music was too loud so I had to really work to make out everything your mum said. I’m sure that it wasn’t something that a lot would be bothered by, just me.
This is so wholesome! I enjoyed every minute of this! I can see so much of you in your mom. Thank you so much to you and your mom for sharing this with us!
Awww....this was just wonderful. What a cutie pie mom. You can tell how sweet and kind she is, I see where you get it from Jen. Thank you for sharing it. It's always nice to learn something personal about a person we see so often. 🌹❤🌹
Oh my gosh, Jen! Your Mom is so sweet! I want to be her when I grow up! :-) She does not look or act like an 80 year old! You definitely need to have her on again. I would love to see her give us some tips and advice on what she does to look and act so young!!! :-)
This was a FANTASTIC video I watched it twice. Our parents have so much to teach us if we will just listen. Your Mom is adorable and was so interesting.
Your Mom is delightful! What great stories! And I am old enough to remember when people could smoke on planes (Yuk....I've always been a non smoker). Always thought it was crazy that the smoking section would just end at a certain row. Like the smoke would know not to go beyond that! Lolol
Thanks Jen - Your mom is so adorable. She seems so real and down to earth that I now know where you get it from, oh and your sense of adventure as well. I have always believed that travel is important in children's lives, makes them better able to deal with all the things life has a tendency to throw at you when you least expect it.
Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge I understand. My mother can drive me nuts (we are so alike!) but it is always sad when she goes home. Hopefully there were no bum pinchers on her flight. 😉
Jen, this was just the best! Your dear Mom is beautiful and so interesting! What an amazing life she has had! More Barbara interviews!! I laughed and smiled through the entire video! The two of you are great together!
Aw, loved hearing your mom’s special years working as a stewardess. I’m a former Pan Am and United flight attendant of twenty-one years. It is a special job indeed. Your mom is a great gal!!! 😊
A heartwarming mother-daughter conversation...thanks for letting us eavesdrop. Is this the beginning of a THIRD channel? Reminiscing and old photos are a gift...your sons look so much like your dad. Here’s to more adventures for all of you!
Jen what a fun video! Your mom is a natural. She was so interesting and her experiences as a flight attendant were absolutely wonderful. She’s a joy and I smiled from beginning to end. Thank you!!!
Oh my gosh, LOVED this !!!! Barbara you are a natural. You need your own UA-cam channel. I loved hearing about airline travel back then. I remember when people used to get all dressed up to fly because it was such special occasion.. Thanks for taking the time to share your stories. I could listen to you all day. 😀
Two wonderful ladies makes for one wonderful video! Thank you so much for doing this. The stories were fantastic but it’s your relationship that truly shines and brought tears to my eyes. 😍
Jen, I see where you get it from! This is fantastic, catching stories like this for years to come! We have a few hours of our Grandfather talking like this (but at a much slower pace), and it's so precious - from more than 20 years ago now.
Thank you Jen and Barbara! I was glued to my screen with a smile on my face the entire time! LOVE the wisdom and stories of our parents generation! I hope you do this again sometime!
Thank you, Teri! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
“What else did he have to do?”🤣 Now i see where you get your humor! Love her!!
Thank you, Nataly! We are very blessed to have her as our mom/Nonnie!😍
I love your mom! So amazing that you got those stories on film. Too many people don't spend the time with their parents or grandparents to hear the amazing stories they have. Would be up for any more videos you can think of with the two of you.
Thank you so much, Kristina! She and I are going on a cruise in November so I hope to film quite a bit with her then.🥰🥰🥰
You have a lovely mom. Loved listening to her memories.
Best line ever “there are a lot of airheads, you know “ yepppp I love your Momma! What a great video!!
Isn't she the best?!?! Thanks, Coral!😍
I LOVE this! Your mom’s so engaging. I felt like a part of her adventures. I miss the golden age of flying...the perks and freedom no longer available I experienced as a 70’s kid my children can’t imagine 💐
It's so true. I still love to travel of course, but the actual flight part isn't nearly as cool as it used to be.
I really enjoyed watching you and your mum reminisce.
I really enjoyed this segment. Fun stories. The matchbook is classic. I wish travel was upscale again.
What a wonderful lady your mom is it's so interesting listening to her stories and there is so much of her in you
Thank you so much, Norma!! I’m very fortunate to have her as my mom.🥰
Mom had no trouble on cam, great stories. More!
Wow! What a great interview with your mom! She is a terrific lady, and the apple does not fall far from that tree.
Thank you so much, Trish!!😍😍😍
Perhaps the most adorable and wholesome video, ever!
Oh thank you, Heather! I love it, too.
Heartwarming! Absolutely heartwarming! Beautiful lady! I love to hear about the past as it is what shapes and allows our future😉. Glad she your Mom shared her stories with your boys. Keep up the stellar work! Best wishes always, Lori

Thanks so much, Dean!!😍😍😍
I enjoyed this video very much! It was a pleasure to hear all of your stories and interesting to learn some of the history. I also loved getting a couple of peeks of your adorable pooch pup in the background.
Such a sweet video. Your mom is so warm and sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this ♥️

Love your Mom, she is such a hoot!!!
She’s amazing and I try to never take her for granted!!😍

Unbelievably precious! Thank you so much to you and your mom! So special that this video is dedicated to your dad. Absolutely love it!
I wasn’t sure anybody would even see that so thank you for reading the description!🥰🥰🥰
Your Mom is adorable! My 13 year old daughter is also chuckling and loving her.
This is just the greatest!💕
Thank you so much, Keisha!!
I LOVE THIS! 🥰 I'd love to hear more stories from your beautiful Mom's life.
I hope to do more soon, Lydia! Thank you!
Thank you! This is so wonderful! Happy Birthday Barbara and wishing you many more adventures! Jen you are a doll to share your precious Mom with us. 😘
Cindy, I was just so honored she said yes! She's been so supportive of this youtube journey from day 1 so having her on the new channel seemed perfect to me.😍😍😍
OMG. This is my story too. Crazy.
I love this! Being a flight attendant today is surely not as glamorous as back in the day!
I know, right?? She had a lot of fun and worked hard and I love hearing her stories!
Thank you for sharing this conversation, it was very special to hear.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Shelley!
One word: outstanding. Thanks, Jen and Barbara, for sharing. 80 is the new 50!
Thank you so much, Matt!!🥰🥰🥰
Oh my gosh! Your mom is hilarious! Thank you guys for doing this!
Our pleasure, Mark Alan! She really is a natural on camera and I didn't have to do much! Easiest video I've ever done!
That was so fun! Your mom is a hoot!
Yup she really is.🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
What a beautiful woman and story! :))
I grow up in an aviation family too... traveling was quite different in the past for sure.
Thank you so much for watching!! And yes, completely different in so many ways!
What an amazing and funny mom you have..... laugh's just like you..
Thank you, Tommy!!😍
Excellent interview, your Mom is so well spoken 🥰😆🤩🤣😃
She really is and I'm so glad I talked her into doing this!
I stumbled across this video..and I don't think I've ever seen one quite so..I don't know..WHOLESOME. I appreciated this from multiple standpoints, but particularly as flight attedant who started at the very end of the 'goleden age' (1977) and will be working my final flight come this November when I will retire my wings.
Thank you so much, Tony, and congratulations on your retirement!!
I can't say how much I love this...because I love it SO MUCH!! Thanks for sharing your sweet mom, Jen!
It is my pleasure, Jenny! Thank you!
This was awesome! You guys were so fascinating and funny but gotta say my eye was constantly drawn to the gorgeous doggy in the background! 🐶 ❤️
Yes, he knows how to find his lens, doesn't he??😂😍
Loved this video. Hope to see more like it. Your mom is wonderful.
Thank you so much, Amanda!
Jen and Barbara that was awesome! My mom was a Stew for United I think during or close to the same timeframes although she did it for a few more years. I love listening to her stories! I will share this video with her. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Cyndi that’s awesome!! Such great stories!!🥰🥰🥰
Loved this interview. My husband worked a short stint at Pan American Airlines in 1969. I remember seeing stewardesses back then. They always seemed so glamorous. That was also the summer the 747’s were delivered. An exciting time.
It really was, Sharon! Although I can't imagine the cabin filled with second hand smoke was super fun;). Always bad with the good I guess!
That was a lovely video! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, Margy!
This is a great video! Thank you both for sharing, I loved hearing your stories!
It was so fun to do, Amy! Thanks for watching!
From someone who is has been in the airline industry for 34+ years, thank you, thank you, thank you!

He was quite determined to throw focus, Shontell🤣🤣🤣Thank you for watching and for your kind words!!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I love him. I want to meet him. And squeeze him. And call him George.
He would adore you!!
Barbara, thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into your early life. You are so sweet! Thank you, Jen for sharing your lovely mum with us!
Small input (you know it wouldn’t be me otherwise), as a person with hearing difficulties the background music was too loud so I had to really work to make out everything your mum said. I’m sure that it wasn’t something that a lot would be bothered by, just me.
I would try turning on closed captioning! That can really help
Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge I’ve never tried cc before but could be a good option!
I use it all the time! Not just on UA-cam but when i watch movies on TV as well. 😍
Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge oh, forgot to say “undertall” is my new favourite 🤣
What a sweet mom. Maybe she will be on more and tell us more stories about her life.
This is so wholesome! I enjoyed every minute of this! I can see so much of you in your mom. Thank you so much to you and your mom for sharing this with us!
I’m so glad you liked it!! Thank you!😍😍😍
Awww....this was just wonderful. What a cutie pie mom. You can tell how sweet and kind she is, I see where you get it from Jen. Thank you for sharing it. It's always nice to learn something personal about a person we see so often. 🌹❤🌹
Didn’t she do a great job? I’m so proud of her and yes, always good to listen and learn!
Oh my gosh, Jen! Your Mom is so sweet! I want to be her when I grow up! :-) She does not look or act like an 80 year old! You definitely need to have her on again. I would love to see her give us some tips and advice on what she does to look and act so young!!! :-)
Honestly she will tell you eat right, get exercise and fresh air and pray. And have good genes.🤣🤣🤣
This was a FANTASTIC video I watched it twice. Our parents have so much to teach us if we will just listen. Your Mom is adorable and was so interesting.
Well, first of all, THANK YOU for that, Diane!! And yes, you are so right. I love listening to her stories and what she's learned over the years!
This was such a great video! I had a smile on my face the whole time.
Me too!! I’m so glad you liked it, Liz!🥰🥰🥰
Your Mom is delightful! What great stories! And I am old enough to remember when people could smoke on planes (Yuk....I've always been a non smoker). Always thought it was crazy that the smoking section would just end at a certain row. Like the smoke would know not to go beyond that! Lolol
Yeah back then they didn't have "smart smoke" like they do now bwahahaha
Wow! You guys really look so much alike! You can definitely tell she’s your mom! Haha such cool stories, thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching, Kayla!
Thanks Jen - Your mom is so adorable. She seems so real and down to earth that I now know where you get it from, oh and your sense of adventure as well. I have always believed that travel is important in children's lives, makes them better able to deal with all the things life has a tendency to throw at you when you least expect it.
I couldn't agree more, Melody! Thank you for watching!
Your mother is a gem.
She really is! Editing this video helped me get over the sadness of sending her back to Phoenix today. Thank you, Sara.
Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge I understand. My mother can drive me nuts (we are so alike!) but it is always sad when she goes home. Hopefully there were no bum pinchers on her flight. 😉
Could you believe that?? UGH what a PIG!
Jen, this was just the best! Your dear Mom is beautiful and so interesting! What an amazing life she has had! More Barbara interviews!! I laughed and smiled through the entire video! The two of you are great together!
Lisa, I’m so glad you liked it! She and i have a big trip scheduled soon so more Barbara for sure!!
That was GREAT. Love hearing stories from the past. Your mom is beautiful. What an adventure that must of been for her. Thank u for sharing. 😊
Absolutely, Andrea! She's an amazing writer and I'm trying to get her to right a memoir. She's had a lot of adventures for sure!
“We never got paid enough to really have any food” That’s just... wow 😲
Yeah that part really surprised me too, Robyn.
Two beautiful ladies, inside & out! Love this interview!!!!
Oh thank you so much, Rita Dawn!!
Aw, loved hearing your mom’s special years working as a stewardess. I’m a former Pan Am and United flight attendant of twenty-one years. It is a special job indeed. Your mom is a great gal!!! 😊
I am so grateful that she did this video with me! I haven't seen her now in about 9 months because of Covid and I miss her!
Absolutely love this video! Thank you Jen and Barbara ♥️. Loved hearing these stories! I was smiling and laughing right along with you ladies 🙂
Lexus, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! She’s a true treasure!!😍😍😍
A heartwarming mother-daughter conversation...thanks for letting us eavesdrop. Is this the beginning of a THIRD channel? Reminiscing and old photos are a gift...your sons look so much like your dad. Here’s to more adventures for all of you!
Oh my goodness I don’t think I could handle a third channel, Kelly!!🤣🤣🤣Thank you for your kind words!
This was such a joy to watch! Your mom is such a lovely, sharp, and smart lady.
She really is and always has been the smartest woman I know!
You were so right! Barbra was PURE GOLD!!! I loved this video and her stories were so fascinating! Thank you for sharing!! Loved this!

I am glad too!
Your mom seems so lovely... loved every second of this😊
She really is, Shelley! I’m so glad you liked it!
Jen, I see where you get it from! This is fantastic, catching stories like this for years to come! We have a few hours of our Grandfather talking like this (but at a much slower pace), and it's so precious - from more than 20 years ago now.
I'm so grateful for this platform to not only capture the memories, but be able to share them with others! Thank you!
What a sweet video!! I am so glad you thought to do this for yourself and for your boys to hear these stories! 💜
Yes I’m very grateful!!
Random but my hubby is Airf orce too! I thank your dad for his service ♥️
He was a B52 pilot and they always talked so fondly about their Air Force years!
