- Granny and I had a good talk this week about foodways here in the Appalachian Mountains, her parents never owning a car, learning to cook, being self-sufficient, what winter was like when she was a girl and more!

I love listening to the elderly talk about times past. As a child I would listen to them talk while the other kids were playing. My grandma would tell me all about her life and her grandparents who were from Ireland, I would listen to her for hours. Having time with them is truly a blessing.
Me too Trey
Me too. My parents were older so I bonded with other old folk too.
Me too. My mamaw and poppy got married and started a family later in life on account of ww2. Both (best anybody knew) born in 1916. My mamas grandpaw was born in 1900. Mom my great grandma was born in 1901 oe 02 i think. The stories ive heard....
And now I'm one of those elderly grandmas
😊
I think Granny is just delightful and I could listen to her talk all day long.
One of the things I've always been happy with is the time I spent listening to Grandma, Grandpa and all the other old people talk about their life and times gone by. They were and are a priceless treasure trove of information.
What a precious lady. You're so lucky to still have her around. I miss my mama so much. I'm 63 & this past December 3rd she's been in heaven 20 years. Used to love to sit & listen to mama & daddy talk about their lives & stuff. I could sit for hours & listen to them even though I was a kid. Blessings to your mom, you & your family, Tipper! From rainy VA. 🌧
Your mother is precious. She reminds me of my grandmother, so humble and a quiet demeanor. All the best👍
This is a moment to treasure, especially when you have photographs, you are so lucky to have this! My grandparents perished long before I was born, but I did have a great grandmother, she was 98 when she died in 1977, I remember her having two kitchens in her house, one for dairy, and the other one for meat, and saying Jewish prayers over us at night when us little children would go to sleep at night in front of one of the fireplaces, I will never forget my ti es there as a child!
I love hearing from the Grandladies about how life was back in their days. I was fortunate to know my Great-grandma, Marianna, we called "Babcia" (Polish for Grandma), and me and my sister, back in the late '50's & 60's would spend summer weeks with her & her daughter, my Great-Aunt Veronica and her husband, Uncle Bill. My Aunt was a very good cook, and I learned to make pie crust from her. Your Granny and Pap were such a handsome couple. I liked her place mats, the stitch and her colors that she chose to match her curtains! I like that she pays attention to detail like that! I'm 68 and I like that way of matching things! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You're both get 5 Stars!❤️
Thank you Susan 😀
Tipper, your mother is sooo very precious. I know you treasure every moment with her. My mother loved to crochet. She would have been 97 this year. I so enjoy hearing your mother talk about her life. Thank you so much!
Always love when you have your momma on. So blessed to still have her. I'm with Granny I can't hardly wait for a fresh tomato out of the garden. Makes your mouth water just thinking of a fresh mater sammich . Really enjoy your family Tipper put Granny on at least a couple times a month. Like to hear from Paul too and see what he's been up to. Looking forward to tonight's video of Dorie of the mountain's. Hugs and blessings to all of you. Stay safe.
Still learning...a new stitch every day is great. Everyone should learn from this amazing woman. Great that you have her on record for all to watch.
😀 Thank you!
Oh, Tipper, I just love your sweet momma🥰 Bless her sweet heart. I wish I had recorded my mom telling stories. So sweet❤️
Thank you 😀
It was so refreshing to hear Granny acknowledge why so many of us don't have the time to can and preserve the way our Grandparents did. It is a source of guilt for me both because I was taught to do these things and food you grow does taste so much better.
What a precious, sweetheart, granny is! Love hearing her stories. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Oh Tipper, what a treasure! I interviewed all of my mom's brother's and sisters. I would not take a million dollars for the stories they shared. The laughter that we shared and the feeling they were stars being interviewed was almost overwhelming. I interviewed two sisters together, and I have never laughed so hard at each of them trying to outdo the other. Wonderful memories and histories for generations to look back on. Thanks again...Love it!
What beautiful placemats your Mom has made, and they'll make such pretty settings. Thank you (and her) for visiting!
You are so welcome!
I'm going to guess that Granny is the young girl sitting in front of her father at 4:29 seconds. Thank you for blessing us with this video of Granny. We find ourselves in the strange place of being just a hand full of people away from being the "Old folks" in our families at this time of our lives. It's a real treasure to know future generations of your family and any viewers of these videos will be gifted just by watching, thanks again.
I think it’s wonderful that you are chronicling your Grandma’s life. It’s absolutely priceless! Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Pap was such an incredibly handsome man!!! Thank you for your service Pap!!!❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Granny is so sweet! I could listen to her tell stories about the old days for hours. Her placemats are so pretty, too, with the spring colors. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this special moment and great conversation with us all. ❤
Granny is a doll. I like the picture of her and her mother and frosty the snowman ⛄️ 😊
You are so lucky to still have your mother ♥️ Her needlework is beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us 🤗
Gd bless granny an y’all. She is one of the reasons I served my country. To protect her freedom and her right to live free and live a happy life full of good memories. What a wealth of knowledge she is. Young people set and listen to our elders. They will teach you how to love, live an go on to the other side the right way. Love all of y’all very much!❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️
Thank you for your service for our freedom.
So glad you enjoyed hearing Granny. Thank you for your service!!
What a wonderful thought and reason for serving. You sir are a Rock Star in my book. Thank You!!!
@@rhondabutler4172 thank you mam. Some people exploit there reason for serving. I mam am just proud that the lord allowed me to serve and do a job that is needed. Go bless you and your family. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
@@johnarnettsways.8758 Thank you for your service! God bless America..
God bless her. The things she has done and the things she has seen over the years. So sweet Tipper. Thanks you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Cherish her.
Thanks so much Donnie 😀
This is wonderful. It's so interesting to hear her stories and thoughts - especially in the last few minutes of the video. When you ask about the convenience of the grocery store vs. doing it yourself. "Some people don't can nothing." = a wonder in her voice like "how can they survive like that?" - "It's a lot of help in the winter time" = canning helps her provide for her family - "I just mostly make homemade soup and green beans" = and then you name several other items she cans hahaha - "So many of them have to work" = like she doesn't??? hahaha - Thank you for saving and sharing this conversation!
Thank you Eric 😀
I love her! Please make more videos of your Mother. She's a delight!
I lost my Mother when she was only 45 years old.
🙏 😪 💞
What a sweetie pie! You are so fortunate to still have your Mama around. Mine passed on in 2006, and I miss her so. Thank you for doing this interview with her. We should all do this before it is too late. Thanks!
A life well lived.Love her.
Loved the interview with granny. People are learning about the old ways again; especially canning up food😌
Tipper, your Momma is such a dear sweet, sweet woman.
Tipper it's still snowing here. We have a 28 inch snow drift in front by the door. We're having 30-35 mph winds. The freezing rain and sleet stopped around 7 AM. Then the snow started. Supposed to stop snowing around 9PM tonight.
I love your family videos with these sweet interviews. Thank you Tipper.🌹❤🌹
So glad you enjoyed it! Wish you could send me some snow 😀 Stay warm!!
Granny puts me in mind of my precious great grandmother on my Mom's side. Everybody in the family called her Mommy. Mommy used to tell us about what it was like when she was growing up. Mommy was a cook in a nearby school as well. She was well loved by the school kids. Fascinating to listen to what times gone by were like, especially in Appalachia. Times were hard, but in some ways they were better than today. Pap telling Granny he'd teach her to cook was so sweet! All that good cooking in your family was passed on from generation to generation and that's rare these days! ❤❤❤

Thank you LB! Loved hearing about your family 😀
I love Granny she is a treasure God Bless All.
My Grannie (1924-2020) grew up on a peach and apple farm in south central Illinois so I loved hearing your momma talking about canned peaches. Well, I loved hearing her talking about everything. Thank you for sharing her with us. 🙏 God bless you Miss Louzine ❤
Awesome video! I’m 79 and used to sit around listening to the old folks talking. Nothing in the world like it!
God Bless her. She reminds me so much of both of my late grandmothers. They grew up more in the Piedmont during the Great Depression in North Carolina but they sounded just like Granny accent and all.
Thank you 😀
I love Grannys. They are the wisest people in our communities. I think it is just so wonderful that you are recording these oral histories for posterity. What a blessing. Thank you and say hey to Matt and the girls.
I enjoyed listening to her how wonderful. What a wonderful blessing.
I'M so happy to have discovered Celebrating Appalachia! Where I come from, women don't cook and bake anymore.. they're too busy and can't be bothered. I, on the other hand, LOVE TO COOK AND BAKE for the people I love! I am thoroughly enjoying these stories because they remind me of my childhood..Thank you for sharing!!
Welcome and thank you!
I enjoyed this so much. Your mama is the sweetest thing, I love her quiet and calm demeanor. And your Pap was quite the looker! Great video 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
Granny is such a “Peach”! What a blessing that you have these talks on video. She reminds me of my Granny. I have a crocheted Angel I’m going to mail you. A good friend of mine used to make these but she’s moved to her daughter’s house now. Maybe Granny or Korie can figure out the pattern. I use mine as a bookmark in my Bible but I have also seen them hanging up or on a Christmas tree. 😇
That is so sweet-thank you Rhonda 😀
What a blessing Granny is.... And she was a looker back in the day! You got some good roots, Tipper...
😀 Thank you!
I prsy for Granny and her health that God would reach dowm and completely heal her.
What a sweet lady. She reminds me of my Mama who lived to be 97. She was a wonderful cook and loved to feed people. She had gardens, canned and preserved fruits and vegetables. Enjoy every day with your Mama!
Tipper your mom is so sweet and soft spoken. Loved hearing her talk about her life growing up. And learning to cook. I loved when she said when she and your dad were courting she told him she couldn't cook. And he taught her some.she is awesome. Thank you for sharing her with us.
😀 Thank you Linda!
Tipper your mom is so precious. She has such a sweet smile 😃. I'm glad she is still active crocheting, canning and those placemats look great. You can see by the old photos when she was younger that you look like her.
Granny certainly is a special woman. I love to go visit, she is always crocheting something. I usually go to the gym in the morning then stop by to see her on my way home. In the fashion of true country hospitality, she always tries to feed me something or to stay and have lunch. She tells me stories of her family and we have a nice visit and all the time she is still crocheting!!
Love chats with Granny, She's adorable!
What such a lovely woman!❤ She makes me smile!
Both of my grandmothers taught me how to make biscuits. Both were from Eastern Tennessee. My grandma on my mothers side made water biscuits...grandma on my fathers side made buttermilk biscuits. I used to make them for my wife and children at least twice a week on weekends and occasional weekdays. Of course, I included sausage gravy and eggs. It was always a debate which was better. I am partial to the water biscuits because I spent more time with grandma on my mothers side...but both were really good. I have slacked off since my children got married and moved away. This video has convinced me to start making both types again. I'm the only one in my family that can pass this along. Thank you for this channel...you are helping people like me understand the importance of passing along what we have been taught by our Appalachian families. It includes much more than biscuits, as I'm sure you know.
Thank you for the kind words!!
Thanks for sharing Granny with us. I can see why you and your daughters are so nice! It’s fascinating to hear about her younger life. I am 56 years old and have never seen anything being canned. It’s a different life! 💖
I love this. Makes me think of my mom and grandmother. Love the stories and the pictures.❤ Thank-you.
It's really great hearing her, I miss my Granny's quilt making, she also made doilies and needle point. She loved sawing on her treadle sawing machine.
Granny is a lovely lady. I pray for her daily and hope she's having a good week. ❤
I love hearing your momma talk! I wish I had recorded my grandma when I was young. Grandma was a good cook I just wish I knew more how she did it we only got to be with her one week a year how I wish I could go back and record her☺️thank you for sharing your momma!
This reminds of my Grandma's, both of them! On Sundays after Church and dinner
we would sit and talk of the past. I could sit for hours listening.God bless you and yours! ❤🙏
I just lost my 90 year old mom on January 16 and this sweet lady reminds me so much of her❤️
Oh my, I am so very sorry. There's nobody, like our Moms.. Mine's been gone many years.. May God comfort you..
All that cookin and whose cookin has made me hungry! Sure miss my Momma's and Nanny's cookin! Beautiful! Loved it!
I love hearing about your mom's life growing up. My grandmother was from NC and I don't really remember hearing much of anything about her life, even though she lived to 105! Gazzie Truett was my 10th cousin. Very, very distant, I know. Both my husband and I are also related to you through your dad. 😀
That is wonderful! Happy to be connected to you both!!
I Always Enjoy Watching your visits with Granny and Hearing her tell of Her Family..Also Good to see she seems to be Well. I also was Blessed with a Family of Good Cooks who FEED their Families & extras... Loved Her crocheting as Always. HOW OLD IS GRANNY ?? I wish I could still cook, Garden and can like I used to..But, never did I even come close to My Momma s gardening, canning sewing our clothes plus help Daddy on the farm, raise us 3 kids and work at a shoe factory for yrs. A garment factory & then nannied for yrs, until she had to have 4 way heart bypass surgery in her 70's..I MISS HER AND MY Daddy SO VERY MUCH..Thank You for giving us Another Sweet Visit with Granny. GOD BLESS YOU ALL & STAY WARM. We have loads of ice, & drifted snow here in MO. & single digits at night..no sun for days...
Thank you so much! Granny will be 82 on March 6 😀
I'm only part way through, but I'm enjoying listening while I cook supper!! She is precious! I agree with her, there's nothing better than a garden tomato!
My great great grandmother cooked for the logging camp at Pisgah Forest. She had to make one hundred biscuits every morning!!
Thank you! Love that 100 biscuits-can you imagine 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia No, I can't imagine!! I loved the video! Thanks for sharing!
What a sweetheart! Seems to be sharp as a tack! How fortunate to have someone like her in your life.
How I wish the food would go down lord I could listen to her all day long and then some
My mom was raised in the mountains of Tennessee. I remember when my grandparents were still alive they told good stories . All the ladies were great cooks too ! Life was hard back then but had it’s good times too .
Just precious. Loved hearing your Granny’s sweet stories.
Growing up I was tight with all of my grandparents. Not many people can say they had one grandma who was born in the mountains of Norway and the other was born in a covered wagon in the Cherokee nation of Oklahoma. My Norwegian grandma skied to school. When she was two, her father made a pair of skis for her. I had cousins who hardly knew our grandparents and often ask me how I got so close and had so many stories of them and the struggles and joys of their lives. I just was interested in their lives and what it was like growing up. Just listen to them young people! Granny is a jewel, Tipper. My wife never learned to cook and couldn't even turn a stove on when we got married. I taught her what my mother and grandmothers taught me and she turned out to be one of the best cooks in the family. Love this channel.
Thank you Norence. What a wonderful family you have 😀
Just love your mama ♥️ I pray Gods hand upon her until he is ready for her.🙏
There's no substitute for experience.
She's a wonderful person. Kind of want to hug her once and sit a spell by the fire.
😀
I wish you had a whole playlist of just talking to Granny. I love her so much. I’m in Ontario Canada in the Ottawa Valley. A lot of settlers here from Scotland and Ireland. They have a way of talking here that you don’t see outside the valley. If it’s dark night out “it’s as black as the inside of a cow”.
I love your channel.
I am a new subscriber to your and your daughters channels. I love each and every video so far your cooking to the girls singing. I have being bing watching all day. And I have like every video. I am not big on commenting on peoples video's but I had to respond to this one. My Nannie was the love of my life and I miss her even after twenty years. Listening to your Granny reminds me of her. I don't know her but I fell in love with her in this video.
Welcome and thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy our videos and I'm glad you enjoyed Granny and that she reminded you of your sweet Nannie 😀
Thank you, Tipper, for sharing your sweet mama with those of us who no longer have ours with us. What a kind, gentle soul! ♥️
I was born at home i was born in a very small town in the Sao Miguel Azores. My grandmother was the mid wife in my little town. there was no electricity there at that time .I was almost 4 when we came to America in !966. have been here ever since. Your stories of Appalachian reminds me of the old country. Loved listening to granny! Such a beautiful family.
I love, love hearing from your granny. There is not a single thing that I don't like hearing here her talk about. She is really a treasure with all the stories and life experience that she has. I miss my granny and love hearing from yours. There is nothing like the love of a granny!
She is a beautiful treasure, I could just set and listen to her forever. You guys are a sweet family. Good people I can tell. Thank you for sharing her.
Oh my gosh!!!! I just watched granny and I totally love her already! I love the way she fondly remembers her mother’s cooking! She seems like such a sweet lil Angel! I miss my mother terribly! I live 16 hours away from her and the rest of my family. I haven’t been in the same room as my sister in 6 years and it’ll be a year since I seen my mama in August. Prayers to all of you. Maybe we can see more granny videos sometime! 😃
I think Granny has become all of our granny at this point. Lol I love her stories. ♥️
😀
I love hearing her talk. Gives me the warm fuzzies.
What a sweet conversation! I could listen to Ms. Granny all day ❤️
I'm a widow now and really miss cooking for my loved ones.
I just love your Mother. She looks so much like my Grandma. She talks like her too. She's an Angel.
I love Granny and hearing her tell about her life.
Aww I want to hug her and squeeze her and spend a week just listening!!!😍😘😊❤❤❤I miss my my momma so...
Doing an interview like this is the best decision, you and your family, future family
will never regret and always cherish this history recorded.
Bless you, Granny. I agree, a garden is one of God's treasures we can delight in. Such a treasure to delight in the stories of our elders.
I’ve listened to this three times so far. Granny’s voice is so sweet and it makes me feel like I’m listening to my grandmother. She passed away in 1998 and I still miss her so much. I used to love talking to her about when she was young, and my biggest regret is that I didn’t do it more.
I’m so happy to see that you’re taking every opportunity possible to find out all you can about your family and your heritage. Conversations like this are extremely important for all involved. Your mother is a very fortunate woman to have such a lovely daughter and granddaughters who dote on her like you all do, and you are fortunate to have such a sweet woman like Granny in your lives. ♥️ Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful lady with us!
So very glad you enjoyed Granny 😀
I could sit for hours and listen to stories like these ones!..I can see where you get your story telling skills from!..You are a wonderful story teller and so is your beautiful Mama!..I always feel like I’m sitting next to you in your kitchen or in Granny’s living room listening to you both!..
Wow, thank you!
Nice to see all those old photos and to hear Granny reminisce. It's always helpful to be reminded that nobody is born a great cook, even if he or she's lived long enough to have perfected a number of recipes.
Your mother reminds me so much of my own late mother. It is a blessing you still have her. By the way we grew up at the bottom of the mountains in the northern part of Spartanburg County where most of the peaches grew. My grandpa had an old flat bed Ford and he would take them up to North Carolina and sell them. He called it peddling peaches. He would say I am going up above Asheville to peddle some peaches, Sometimes he would take some of the grandchildren to go along and help him sell them door to door. Coming back home he would go down the Saluda mountain and say we are gonna save some gas and knock it out of gear and coast. There was one curve called dead man's curve and it always scared the grandchildren. Maybe your family got some of those Campobello peaches. It's a small world.
What great memories! I love to think my family did eat those peaches 😀
Absolutely priceless interview with Granny. What a beautiful lady and a blessing to all she meets I'm sure....God bless you both! Thank you Tipper❤
Thank you for sharing your Granny with me ! What a Sweetheart she is! I had adopted Grandparents because my blood Grandparents on both side of my family had passed before I was born! I sure enjoyed this
.
This made me tear up. She reminds me so much of my great grandmother, Eva. I’d give anything if she could be here to see how I turned out. I know I’ll see her in heaven. But, I’d give anything to talk to her now. Thanks for documenting all of this - it means the world to me. God bless you.
I still have the afghans that both grandmother's made for me when I was little. It was good listening to Granny talk about the old days and making biscuits.
What treasures 😀
I just had to watch this again. I love the stories of the elderly. Santa Maria, CA is the strawberry capital of the world. 45 miles from where I grew up. The sweetest and juciest strawberries I've ever had.
Oh my, your Mother is so very precious 💗 You'll treasure this video forever 🙌
Such sweet memories.... I love fresh vegetables and fruits 🍓🍌🍏🍇🍅🌽🍠
Thank you so much!!
What a beautiful granny! God Bless... I remember talking with my grandma in Sicily. I'm still trying to make her Sunday sauce... even though I have the 65 year old wooden spoon 🥄 she used to make that sauce
(And bop me on the head when I needed it) can't get the magic out of it 🙂
Oh my goodness it's granny. Hey granny we love you and missed you.From your no.1 fans all the way from Leicester N.C. Give her a big ole hug for us Tipper.
Thank you! I will give her a hug!
I balled like a baby hearing your granny. I miss mine so bad. She was wise without a formal education, she was strong at 5' 2" and 100 lbs. she loved us when most of us did not deserve it. I wish for every person on earth to have an Appalachian granny.
I wish that too 😀
I miss my Grandma, she loved to cook too. Nice to hear the old stories of past.
Most precious Granny. An enjoyable video, listening to her tell stories. Thank you.
I loved watching your sweet Mama and shes delightful. Reminds me of how much I miss my Granny and MummyLila and my Mama. Your Paps was very handsome and the rest of your family.
I just loved watching and listening to this video! Your sweet Granny reminds me so much of my late Granny (1908 - 1995) in so many ways! I'm so glad you're able to document these things....record these "interviews" and save that information for generations to come. I wish so much we'd had the good sense to do this with my Granny, but we did not. Treasure every minute you have with her! God Bless!
Much love from the Motor City. Where people never really get the chance to just enjoy life ...You're precious Gran Mama
