    I am 73 years old and I was a little girl in the 1950’s. My dad was a Marine and he served in both WWII and Korea. You are so beautiful and glamorous. You remind me more of the women I saw on T.V and not my mother and her friends. We lived in a big city in the US. We didn’t think anything we had was cool. It makes me chuckle now how everything old is new again. I love your channel you are so sweet. Keep up your studies

      You are so fortunate to have your Grandpa's memoirs!
      I am the family historian of a very large family (250+ cousins) and, while I have some historical records for the family, I really wish I had more memoirs of my Grandpa's and my Mom's generations. They would make my family history ebook so much more interesting. There are still a few cousins in my Mom's generation who are still with us and their children are trying to get them to write their memoirs to contribute.

    • @thecatlady6
      @thecatlady6 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @Opal Allen Having memoirs of each cousin in each generation is a future goal. We currently have five generations of cousins so that will take awhile. We are losing our older generation (my Mom's generation) quickly so my current urgent goal is to record their memoirs. When I started doing this in 2009, we had 15 cousins in that generation and now we only have 8. I am disabled and have difficulty traveling and covid has pretty much put a stop to that anyway (my youngest cousin in my Mom's generation is will be 75 soon; the oldest just turned 97, so their risk level is very high). If I was able to travel and do so safely, I would pack my bags and go in a heartbeat to interview and record their memoirs. They, for some reason are reluctant to do this 🤔 but, if I show up at their door, I'm confident they will do it. I say this because they are all thrilled that I've reunited all the branches of the family (we were estranged by distance and time for 40 or 45 years) and are loving getting to know the youngest members of our family and that they are all interested in learning our family heritage.
      Sorry for the long comment 🤭. I could go on for hours about genealogy, family history and so on 😉.

    My mother STILL uses my grandmother's old vacuum from the sixties. That dinosaur is SO LOUD that both me and the dog both run out of the house when she hauls it out! She won't let me replace it and she won't let me vacuum for her; she says it's the only exercise she gets nowadays. The thing weighs a ton but if it actually keeps my 74 year old mother healthy, happy and active I can't really take it away from her. The thing sounds like a freight train, or how I assume a mastodon would sound. When she passes (hopefully not for a long, long time) I'll ship it to you, assuming I can afford the overweight charges. Just love your channel!

    This was marvelous. How I would love to have a house, yard and my own washing machine! I'm 51, it's long overdue but these simple things are now sadly inaccessible for many.
    What I love is seeing someone of your generation so into the 40s and 50s. I'm Gen X, and we were so fascinated with the 50s, hence an explosion of 50s themed diners in the US back then. My prom dress, bought in 1988, was $30 and was a used, 1950s blue velvet and tulle strapless ball gown! It was stunning. Wore it with long, white opera gloves and pearls. As an 80s gal who grew up mostly with my grandma, a 1950s housewife through and through, I share your love of all things vintage. In many ways, life was just simpler and better then. Thank you for the care and effort you put into these!

    The more posts I watch, the more reminiscent I feel. Weird? It's oddly like you're channeling my past life. So blessed to be able to read your grandpa's words. Unfortunately, lost both grandpas before I was born and a great-uncle in his early 20s as a US paratrooper in France. Even so, there is so much available now to help us appreciate their day-to-day life experience. Appreciate you and James for conjuring arguably the world's greatest generation into our IRL. I can already see you are going to be a gem in nursing. A career my own paternal grandmother only aspired to given circumstances of time and fate in the 1950s.

    This is a pretty cool channel. Just came across it the other day & it's rather interesting. You are either reminding me of how things used too be or teaching me something new (old), not sure what word to use there. Look forward to catching up to where you are today, as in videos. I can see you've been at this for awhile. I think all especially the young needs this channel to come up in their algorithms. I do hope, not sure if the 2 of you have moved yet, has kept up with this classic lifestyle of yesteryear.

    Sage You are reminding me of how my mom raised my brother and I in the 60's with the structure of a 50's household. Oh I saw you have foxglove in the garden, just make sure you don't have any edibles near it as it is what digitalis (heart medication) is made from and can really make things uncomfortable if ingested not under Dr. care.

    12:50 One of the few useful cooking tips I learned from those 5 minute craft videos is that you can bulk trim the green beans simply by moving all of them to one side of the packet they came in and chop the entire end off (repeat on other side). You lose a bit more bean than trimming them individually but chicken absolurely looove green bean tips so you can use it as feed (or compost, of course).

    Very cute. You put a lot of thought into your videos. A Great Aunt decided to write her memoirs about her side of family. There was quite a stir over it all. My grandmother said, if she publishes it, I'll sue! She ended up dying before much ever happened and the manuscript ended up falling into my hands. The most snooze producing story I ever read. ;)

You inspire me so much, and as I try to live my life as a 1950s (single) housewife and mom, I find my life so much more enjoyable and interesting!
