    Mr GiV you're a great storyteller and your precious mom deserves applause for inviting us to her warm abode once again.

    As somebody who has worked in bars for around 20 years I can honestly say that this is a completely professional bar…it’s kind of mind blowing! The detail is incredible. You Dad was extremely talented with his hands…a true craftsman. You should definitely throw a party here GIV with your close friends and your Mom. Would love to see a video of this 😅

    I’m a 41 year old second generation American. Three grandparents were polish and one was from a Lithuanian descent. Our family members also all had knickknacks, useless pottery, old cameras, and other stuff. It was purely decorative, usually from trips, items that were sentimental, or gifts. I think many Europeans from a certain generation (especially around WWII) didn’t have much growing up, and filling their home with things like that made them feel like they had nice things to remind them of good times.
    Thanks for showing us more of the house. It’s nice to see all the things your dad made. You keep saying nobody looks or uses the stuff - but YOU are enjoying it while you’re there, and your mom sure enjoys it. Don’t worry about what’ll happen with the stuff someday. Just enjoy it now.
    I agree, you should use the basement sometimes. You don’t even need a giant party. Just invite your close friends to enjoy. Make it like your man cave in Germany. Turn on some of those records, have a few drinks, and enjoy it!

    I'm 100% german. So I grew up in my German grandmother's kitchen and my mom's kitchen and they look exactly like your mother's kitchen. Even generations of Germans that have lived in the United States for years and years and years generators upon generations still do the same thing my great-grandmother that was German did the same thing same look in the same kitchen so there you go and by the way do not paint those cabinets white. That old retro style is coming back and it's actually worth something so hold on to that look

      The German people really know how to celebrate life! They don't need an occasion to get the friends and neighbors together! They call Friday nights feierabend, which means party night! They get together with friends and family, throw up some beer tables and benches in the basement or a tented area in the yard. Start up some hit parade musik and party...sweet memories from times spent in Germany with my Mom's family. They really know how to celebrate life and show love for one another😘

    Great video. Very sentimental. The GIV had me in tears over here in Anaheim. On a side note, I had been wondering if your mom had Miele in her home. I saw it in the background in the kitchen and was thrilled to see the washer. Big Miele fan here- washer/dryer/dishwasher/vacuums/laundry soap etc. :) I think you just introduced that brand to a lot of us in the US. And after your glowing review of how well it cleans, Miele should send you one for your LA apartment:)

      Miele is the brand our grandmothers used and it stands for quality. Its probably the most used kitchen devices brand here in germany besides Siemens. Miele is really good but i would say NEFF is the best but more expensive.

      But its such a huge country with so many different cultures, it is realy interesting.

    I have the same problem with my Dad’s house. There is so much stuff that I don’t want but will need to sell or cart to a second hand shop when he is gone. When my mom was alive I begged her to go through her closets and get rid of the old stuff, but she just laughed and said it would be up to me. Both my parents were born during the depression, and that feeling of never having enough has not gone away, so they kept EVERYTHING! 🤦🏻‍♀️

What was difficult getting my mom to try & get rid of some stuff in the house after dad passed. It was packed full of stuff & hard for her to dust & keep clean. Maybe ask your mom to put names on things she wants people to have after she's gone, God forbid it won't happen for many years. Watching this video makes me smile. You're not alone GIV there's others who's family home is like walking into a time capsule!! Tell mom hi & hope you all have a great week! Love these videos!!! 🙂💕

    I loved the video!! With all of your family’s history and memories in one place, don’t ever sell your house. Like ever. My siblings and I decided to sell our childhood home that our parents owned for over 65 years which has been the worst decision that has ever been made. It still hurts my heart. I occasionally drive by the house without the kids and the Mrs and cry my heart out. I would do anything to just take a nap in that house one more time. I always felt so safe in there.

    This was a lovely video Mike of your Mums home. So nice to see how your Dad helped decorate it, when he was alive, with help from your mum, making it a family home. A home has a soul when it’s loved and cared for. I believe that. Watching your video reminded me of my family home, where I grew up. When my dad was alive, he was a machinist, and he worked in the rag trade in the east end of London, in the factories, during a time when there was factories everywhere in east London. And at home, like you, my dad had a singer sowing machine, which was left in the kitchen, near the kitchen table, or in the hallway. And I use to remember when I was young, watching my dad making alterations to some garments he made earlier in the day in the factory, remembering how my dad used a small tin of benzine oil to lubricate the sowing machine. And I can still remember the smell coming from bundled up fabrics tied together with string, which was left below the sowing machine on the kitchen floor. And all the different colour cotton reels left scattered around the sowing machine, and inside the sowing machine drawer. It was a singer sowing machine that was built into a solid wooden table, with a chair. I also remember those old dial up telephones with telephone cords. We had so many of them over the years, when I was young. I’m now 51. When my mum passed away in 2011, and one of my sisters in 2012, I was living in the family home at the time. And like you, I was surrounded with so many happy memories. A lot of stuff, and it was incredibly hard to let go of most of it, because I couldn’t take it with me when I moved into my own home. But I’ll never forget that moment when I moved out and said goodbye to my family home, when it was sold, moving into a new borough, away from the area where I grew up, and knew people. It was hard letting go, but you know, my mum, sister, and dad, and all those happy memories I had live on in my heart. I was lucky though, because my family helped me organise things, when I was feeling extremely low, and unmotivated to do anything. And I look back, after watching your heartfelt video and feel blessed I had those times. Cheers Mike to you and your mum. 🍻:)

    Just like you Mike, been in the US 30 years or so. And I feel exactly the same way when I go home to see my mum in England. Always been fascinated by Germany since I started learning the language in school. Love how you show us real insights into Germany while you're back home. 🙂
