Clara was such a dear, interesting lady. She made “ depression cooking “ look so easy. The “ arm wrestling “ with Grand son is so “ dear”. The snake stories are so interesting. She was definitely a courageous lady to kill snakes ‼️. She used whatever method that was called for to kill them ‼️. I am so grateful that I have had the privilege of watching her “ Depression videos “. I always loved spending quality time with my Grandmother, so it was great to see “ Miss Clara”!

[@wendyfiolek5914]

They are definitely reunited in heaven.

[@garym444]

I replayed that moment quite a few times looking at her sadness. I can relate because my parents were married 60 years and died within two months of each other because they were each other's best friend

[@glamdolly30]

There is no way of knowing what the quality of that marriage was - Clara reveals no emotions about her late husband whatsoever, in any of these videos. It's funny how people want to project great love and heartbreak onto her, imagining there's was a wonderful lifelong romance. But for all we know - and for all she showed us - he could have been a compulsive gambler/womaniser or alcoholic, who made her life sheer hell! His death could even have been a release for her - it often is, especially for older generations for whom divorce was not an option. It is extraordinary that her only child died on the very same day as her husband. I think it is bizarre that there is absolutely no mention of that double tragedy in the family. She is being interviewed by her grandson after all, the most sympathetic of all interviewers. This KZbin channel is Clara's legacy for her family, so it's disappointing he only scratched the surface of what she and her life were. There's very little depth or emotion shared with viewers in any of these videos, it's just austerity recipes and small talk. Clara's pointed stories usually have another woman as the butt of the joke - she didn't seem to like females too much! When she reminisces about family, she is usually referring to her parents and siblings, rather than the family she created ie her husband and their son. Presumably she cooked the most when she became a wife and mother, so that's surprising. It's hard to know what to make of Clara, she gives very little away and that frustrates me. But it is the omissions that can reveal the most about a person.

[@shannonbales9148]

I was a CNA at a nursing home. I enjoyed it so much. A lot of my patients that had to come there to be taken care of was just dropped off and never was visited again. I loved hearing their stories. What kinds of work they had to do just to survive! All of the patients there just wanted someone to talk to. I actually found it more interesting to talk to them rather than the young people. My grandfather lived through the depression and WWll. So many fascinating stories. He always told me to respect the elders and listen to what they had to say because I would learn a lot. And he was right. I believe I was born an old soul! I miss both sets of my grandparents! They taught me a lot. This generation wouldn't be able to work like the people of the depression! When I get her age I hope someone will listen to me! I just turned 50 on June 22. So I got a long way to go! Thank you Ms Clara for your stories and cooking lessons!❤️🧡

[@JeanetteSaarberg]

I can totally relate to every word you say... I too have spent many hours talking with people in their 90's (when it was still 1983) and it was so amazing to hear all their stories... they conciously saw everything evolve what now is considered normal... from the bicycles on upward... Spent many hours later in life, talking to elderly people... and they are such treasure troves of interesting stories, REAL feelings.. real manners... real people... as opposed to what appears to be normal these days. Still hoping to get the same kind of wonderful stories from my parents (85) as Ms Clara so colourfully tells us..

Rose Jackson i read your text an want to tell you a story about my mother an what i did to keep hearing her stories after she was long gone . the most wonderful thing i hav ever done here goes. When i was comi n g up mother use to tell me stories of her growing years. An i never tired from them. In 1997 day before mothers day i ask her what she wanted for mothers day cause she wanted fir nothing an she said a bi b le book cover so i head out to the book store they were out so i was goi n g to ask the cashier if they had anymore when i noticed a beautuful book adorned with pale pink flowers. The title was. Reflections frim a mothers heart. Flipping through the pages they had one question on each page that ask about mothers l childhood an life. U liked it an thought mother could write down her memories for me. I gave it to her next day an she loved it!. In 2012 i ask her about the book an she said its on the shelf you want it an i saud no ill get it some other time. 2 months later mother was killed in a car wreck she was driving at 84. As my sisters an brother gathered i told my sister about the book an we found it an ti my surprise it was totally filled out. So if you would like to hear the rest of the story ab theres more an oh so grand ending contact me on fb Rhonda Gibson Roberts

When my grandmother on my mother's side passed away most of her furniture was in good shape, but put into storage (my parents had moved into an apartment and sold their house to my brother). Eventually, my dad got tired of paying storage and gave everything to Good Will (my mother was pissed). Today it would be worth a lot of money, but probably not as much as the 30-years storage. The best furniture I have today was my mom and dad's. Sofa's don't last, but old solid-wood chest-of drawers, dining tables, and such last for many decades. It is sad that solid wood furniture is disappearing, to be replaced by laminated plywood.

What a wonderful woman. I wish that I knew her. R.I.P. lil lady!!

[@GroovyDayBaby]

I have been enjoying your grandmother’s videos. You have done a beautiful job portraying her wit and personality. I am 67 and I grew up enjoying my mother and grandmothers’ frugal ways of stretching the food budget. I was thrilled to learn in this video that Clara and I had much in common despite our age difference. I have a huge doll collection. My grandsons are creeped out because they have to sleep in my doll room when they visit. I love to crochet and read, have read alot of Danielle Steel’s books. I have also killed two unlucky snakes that chose to slither into my house. I beat the poor snakes with my cane and broke two flower pots over them. I tried to trap one of them to no avail under my stainless steel MixMaster bowl. I even tried to chop it in half. It doesn’t kill them, my son told me, after the fact; that you have to cut the head off. I called my husband at work and demanded he come home to get rid of the wriggly almost cut in two snake and I stood on the over turned bowl with the snake trapped in it til he came home. I thank you for these wonderful videos you have filmed of your precious grandmother. It brings back so many fond memories of my grandmothers, one American and one Czechoslovakian, teaching me to cook, sew and crochet.

[@mia795]

God bless her. Can tell she was a nice Catholic. Loved seeing her place. So much like my family. Loved seeing the photo of the procession. Loved the story about punching the Pope!!! And the arm wrestling was hilarious!!!! Feel sorry for the snakes, though.

[@SparklemotionX]

Thank you for this. Missing my 94 year old grandma today. This was a good substitute. I wish I would have filmed her like you did.

[@lam533]

Italian grandmothers are the BEST.

[@wendyfiolek5914]

I had one and she was amazing. She was a good cook like Clara and very sweet like Clara.

[@karensiegel6669]

I had Swedish grandmothers. One was generous and loved us a lot.

[@0Panzerjunkie0]

Grandmothers are the best, my grandmother, on my moms' side was Italian and my dad's was this Tennessee gal, love and missed them both

[@damarisguadiana1846]

Mexican grandmas too. 🥰

[@bethp1530]

What a remarkable life of a remarkable woman that grew up so simply and happily. Married a man, traveled the world, had her own children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and lived a life full and blessed. I can't thank you enough for sharing her with us.

[@goldenwhisper66]

She is so sweet. She's seems like everyone's grandma. Thank you for sharing. I think I've watched every one her videos and love them all . I collect dolls also❤️. She makes my heart smile.

[@CarMoves]

Listening to her husband sing, was sweet. What a great lady.

[@brad349miller]

CarMoves you sure that was her husband? 😒 those were his records. he was the singer? i’m not too sure about that.

[@catrage5311]

He was in a choir who travelled around so it could be

[@davidwilcox7]

[@debrawilliams7983]

She seemed like a Sweet little old lady! I felt so sad when I found that she passed away 5 years ago. Thank you all at KZbin. for continuing to show her videos. I hope she is smiling down from Heaven!

[@Sh4y1028]

I love this woman so much. I would have loved to sit down and just chat about her life experiences for hours. She's such a sweet lady!

[@FearonlyAllah-fh5kw]

Clara reminds me a lot of my late grandmother. Our elders are such treasures, and we must try our best cherish every moment with them. Take time to listen to their life stories. You won't regret it.

[@TheSmack2007]

This video brought tears to my eyes. What a full and beautiful life you have had Clara. I am inspired by you, and I am so thankful for your stories. My Grandmother died before I had the chance to ask her about the depression....it great to hear the stories from you. I sure miss her, and you remind me of her. God bless.

[@TheSmack2007]

And my grandma used to be a mean arm wrestler too!!!! LOL

[@lindauribe6872]

Thank you Clara now I am young at 74..

[@bryp6891]

5 years late, but ask your relatives to tell you storys she told them

[@das270]

I can only imagine the thoughts going through her mind after so many years. R.I.P. sweet Clara. Enjoyed sharing your stories.

[@mr.greenjeans8323]

My grandma was 92 when she past away and I can remember her telling me the worst part of growing old is when you've out lived everyone you knew her friends her older family brothers sister's even a couple of her son's I'm thankful I was able to spend as much time with her as I did

[@boatsandho3z]

Clara was truly an amazing gift. She is so sweet, loving and strong! It was such a great gift finding this channel.

[@curlytopz274]

Shannon Hover I agree and I have just watched the video about her death and I feel like there's a hole in my heart😖😭

[@spontkelp]

Oh man. Tearing up watching her speak about her deceased loved ones. I really appreciate the history in this video too 😭

[@seanparker1759]

So much history not just from her that she still had from other countries. Awesome for the grandson to showcase. Even though she was a little nervous at first

[@trevaprevette5354]

I just found your channel, what a wonderful beautiful grandmother you had. but you and your family have these wonderful memories of her.

[@janetbrowning9089]

I always loved watching Clara...she so reminded me of my own grandmothers, long passed away now too. I think we can all rejoice in the fact that she is back with her dear husband now too...even though we still miss her. Her stories and her cooking...what treasures they will always be, thanks to her grandson and her family...she is truly a gem to be awed by. I think the snake story and the Pope being punched in the face were my very favorites...she threw boiling water on the snake...Oh my, she was so afraid of snakes. Her soft voice and her ways...all were so inviting and heartwarming...it's so nice to be able to come here, even after all these years, since she has passed, to watch and listen to this beautiful soul...Bless you still Clara and thank you for all that you gave all of us, by inviting us into your home and life and sharing so freely with all of us...you will always be truly missed.💖🙏💖

[@georgemadis5481]

I've always loved talking to old folks and listening to the stories of the old days. I just found her videos today and I will watch all of them,such a sweetheart! I'll think of her and my sweet grandmothers a lot! Thanks for these videos!

[@galinarou]

The experiences of people who lived through the Great Depression are absolutely priceless. Thank you for creating and making this channel available so people can learn from the past.

[@phaedrabacker2004]

We need more people today like Clara.
