Please, if you can, let us know that you and your family are ok from the storm.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

@@CymbelinesDaughter We are okay. Thank you!!

[@jackie461]

Doing these vids is very good for her cognitive health. She is simply precious 💐

[@lisaboling5336]

She always felt protected by Mom and Dad...........well that brought me to tears..........I just LOVE Granny SO much!!

[@cindyoconnell2471]

That says a lot! You can come from a large, not financially rich family, but if you can give that to your kids, it is really the most important!

[@sharonpapastathis1236]

Thank you granny

[@pineywoodsgirl7233]

Awww Ms Granny made me tear up when she said she wanted her family to know how she loved them. ❤

[@kathryndavis2447]

I was so touched when you ask about hard times and she said she didn’t remember any - I’m sure life was hard back then. Such a sweet and precious lady. We all should be like her - blessings to your family Tipper. I am really enjoying this series.

[@RobinBlocker]

Yes and if there was hard times mom and dad never acted like it around the kids. At least mine didn't. Wow, granny was a widow after I was. My husband passed in 2014. He was only 58. I had no idea she was so fresh in widowhood.

[@BradKandyCroftFamily]

Difficulty in life can be so relative.

[@christyjohnson6967]

“I always felt protected by mom and dad.” The best words in this video. What, we as parents should all focus on doing. Tipper, these videos are priceless, FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, BUT FOR US. God Bless you for sharing.

[@lindahays8444]

Granny is such a sweet soft spoken good soul. Tipper you are blessed to have such a momma.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I really am 😊 thank you

[@jantrattner8392]

Love the picture of your mom when she was a girl - she still looks herself!

[@Dougeb7]

"All" Granny's children were stubborn? Surely not Tipper! 😇😉I loved her response to what she would like to leave her kids: "I want them to know how much I loved them." Can't lie, my eyes got a little moist at that. She's such a sweetheart. Thanks, and God bless!

[@jerra7060]

When she talked about eating alone made me cry 😢 - Bless her….

[@s.c.2424]

Your mama was absolutely stunning as a young girl. I can see so much of you and even the girls. These videos are truly something to treasure.

[@PodieM18]

So beautiful.

[@patdavey2690]

Oh, your mom was (and still is) a beauty. Your dad was a handsome devil, too. I see you inherited your mom's gorgeous eyes. Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with Granny. It's balm for the soul, especially in these uncertain times.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!

[@suzie2080]

What a wonderful woman who appreciates everything God has given her. I wish more people would appreciate the life He's given us as much as Granny does.

[@Marylandhappiness]

Granny was a stunning beauty, lovely picture of her in those younger years, still is!

[@lauracoulter1069]

I love granny. Bless her heart. She reminds me of my gramma. ❤ i lost her in 2018. She was 95. She taught me how to crochet ,knit,sew , many things. My mom was a single mom so gramma was like my second mom. I miss her so very much. ❤ granny. God bless you.

[@sandrapreston7016]

Thank you granny,,I am 75 now and you make my day brighter

[@smc130]

I’m also 75 and love these videos from Granny. She’s a strong woman and we strong women need to be around to help you youngsters!!!

[@BR-nl8eb]

I can't explain why, but this was my favorite Q & A that you did with Granny. You had me in tears... I lost my mom a little over two years ago and I'd give anything just to call her one more time! 🙏💟☮️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I’m so sorry you lost her!!

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

The 11th Commandment is: "Thou shalt not cook cornbread in anything other than cast iron" 😊✌️ I learned that at a very early age. We used to make "Sawmill Gravy" (corn mill) Hello Granny 👋 My Mom was the oldest of 13. Two passed away in infancy, a boy, Carl and a girl, Mary. Blessings from Georgia USA 🪶✨

[@Dragonflie79]

What a beautiful picture of her at a young age! Beautiful then, beautiful now.

[@enlightenedhummingbird4764]

I agree! You can definitely see where the women in the family get their striking, deep, dark eyes... Beautiful!

[@mistya627]

Granny is just precious. I have said it before, but I could listen to her talk all day. What a gift! Love you granny!

[@KellyRussell-v7p]

Granny has got to be the absolute sweetest, kindest, most humble person I have ever seen!!! I have never heard a negative word slip from her lips. I know she had hard times, but she chooses to dwell on the positive. God bless you precious Granny- you are loved by soooo many!❤️🙏🏻

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind

[@terryleap850]

Treasure every day you have with this precious lady God bless

[@TracyfromNC]

My papa who grew up during the Depression had fond memories but cried talking about it. His 4 year old younger brother died from Whooping Cough, but he rarely mentioned. MY SON IS NAMED Thomas in his honor. MY Dad was Paul. Papa(Daddy) loved the memory of his Mother feeding six kids and family on one chicken, gravy, biscuits and veggies from the garden, he was so proud of that. Loved Granny.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Precious. Thank you both. What a legacy, not only Granny but the videos you're leaving for generations to come.

[@loribernardo4024]

Hi again Tipper! One of my favorite memories of my grandmother was helping her make cornmeal mush the night before, the next morning slicing it, breading it and frying it! Then, covering it with her tomato gravy!!! I'm 67 years old and that still makes my mouth water! It made my heart swell to see you make tomato gravy! I haven't tasted it since I was 12 years old but I'm going to try your recipe, THANK YOU!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Hope you enjoy

[@heavenbound-1957]

What a treasure having this to share down the generations. ❤️

[@Angie-p6m]

You can really tell granny misses pap. Her little face shows the love she had for him. I just became a widow a year ago tomorrow and I really miss my husband 😥. He was my best friend and soulmate for sure.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I’m so sorry. I know tomorrow will be hard.

[@apropst5867]

Ms.Angie, praying that God will hold you close, especially tomorrow. 💗

[@maryeliason1504]

So glad to see granny again. Love the photo of her asca cute little girl. Precious. I see Tippers eyes. Thank you so much.❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

[@AShyLily]

Granny looks great.😊

[@cathybrown554]

Hi,Granny! Mother was born and raised near the Ozark’s before the family moved to Iowa.She used to fry cornmeal mush in thin squares in an iron skillet.we loved it!

[@keeptrying5962]

She was and is a beautiful woman. Give my best regards and respect to your mother Tipper. She is a treasure! 💞 🙌🏼

Granny, you are such a precious lady. I love to sit and hear you talk about your family and good times.

[@ShelleyClott]

Granny was such a beautiful young girl. She had such a sweet countenance about her. She’s such a dear soul, and I am so grateful that she’s willing to share herself with us. Thank you Granny & Tipper. Be well & take care.

[@cathyhatfield278]

Granny is absolutely a beautiful soul and I just love her. She reminds me of my Mamaw and I know if they had met they would have been very good friends. Thank you Tipper for sharing your family with all of us. ❤

[@benitastevens612]

Hurry, I can’t Waite for Granny’s cornmeal gravy!

[@elizabethd361]

I love listening to her talk. She misses your daddy and her parents so much 💜

[@barbarawhite3217]

Another wonderful interview. Granny dodged the most embarrassing moment. Good job.

[@TheQuietLife60KAT]

Your mom is so precious, Tipper. What a gem ♥️ Thank you for sharing!

[@darlacarter441]

Bless her heart🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️💜🩷😊

[@leighflorkevich9916]

I see such kindness and the love of Jesus behind Grannie's eyes. 🙏❤

[@triciatinker9456]

Granny I was widowed at age 50. That was 18 years ago and you survive that loss just as you said. I still miss my husband but talk about him to my 4 little grand daughters. So glad you have family around you.

[@darlenechristensen3825]

I was 47 when I was widowed. 17 yrs ago for me. You never stop missing the love of your life but I’m like you Tricia I always share stories with my 3 grandchildren about him.

[@zzzzipy12]

Granny had a poodle skirt & oxfords….i love it!!! ❤

[@silvermaple-n6n]

Positivity. Great character and humbleness.

[@robby9710]

Granny, what a sweet lady you are. My heart broke when you spoke of your husband. Your love for him and how badly you still miss him was so visible it brought tears to my eyes. I love these videos "reminds me of my momma" but don't like seeing you sad. Praying for your comfort and everyone in the family. Oh and my family ate the "mush," I still love it made like Tipper recalled it. Y'all take care and Stay in his word.

[@suzannerobinson853]

Granny’s the best! Praying for her! We need a Granny channel!!!❤

[@ladyw605]

Such a sweet woman!!! Thanks so much for sharing Granny with us!!!!!

[@shadowdramon01]

0:14: The family resemblance is very strong with your family, because Granny looks so much like an older you, and in this picture she looks a lot like one of your daughters.

[@lindamaldonado6807]

I love the photo of her when she was a young. She had such beautiful expressive eyes!

[@braxtonchurch4231]

I grew up eating corn meal gravy and I love it. Granny is so precious.

[@TeresaE116]

I love Granny 😢. It’s just like listening to my sweet little Mama. Granny has always been beautiful ♥️♥️. Give her a hug 🥰 for me, Tipper 🥹

[@jcc6789]

What a treasure Granny is ~ such an incredibly keen mind! 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸

[@ShadowsMommy741]

I love you Granny ❤

[@lamor8892]

Such a sweet lady. I love hearing from our elders. We can learn so much!!

[@hilariecalijo4643]

I really see and hear the family resemblance ❤. So cool what treasure to have these memories ❤

[@missysutton9159]

How wonderful hearing Granny talking about herself. I wish I had recorded my Granny, Papaw, Mom, and Uncles talking and remembering. More precious than gold. Oh what I would give to hear their voice again.

[@joanndeland7969]

I enjoy hearing about life with Grannie 😊

[@christinej2358]

Seeing Granny’s picture as a young girl I thought wow, her beautiful looks were definitely passed down to you and both your girls, Tipper. Always enjoy seeing Granny and thankful she is during so well. Thank you for sharing her with us.

[@kathytaylor708]

I love listening to Granny she’s a dear lady

[@TexasGalOnTheHill]

I just love your videos with Granny. She reminds me of my grandma so much. My grandmother crocheted too, but not too much. How they raised 9 kids during the depression. When I asked them was it tough, they all answered they didn't know it. Of course they had a garden, and hogs and a couple of cows to grow out. And one big ole mule named Mary. Granddaddy also grew tobacco. What great memories Granny has. I enjoy her so much!❤❤❤

[@lindamcgee3651]

Thank you for sharing another Q & A and answering our questions Granny and Tipper. Continued prayers for y'all! Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄

[@csnanny1882]

Tipper, this is absolutely wonderful, she is so sweet and she has a memory out of this world, my heart pained and ached alone with her when she talked of missing her husband. It doesn’t matter how long our loved one has been gone, it is so hard . I am 87 about her age , so I remember how life was along time ago also. , I hope she is living her life just the way she wants to. She said she eats what she likes, I go along with her on that. God bless her heart.

[@intothenight756d47]

Thank you, Granny for sharing your life and family with us. Oral history is priceless because there is no intermediary reinterpreting your life's narrative.

[@carolynpurser7469]

Granny is a treasure herself ❤

[@galecopp6835]

Such a treasured interview, your mom is the sweetest!

[@susiethomas6909]

Granny had the biggest, softest, most beautiful eyes! Honestly the biggest eyes I’ve seen! She is so absolutely precious and still just as beautiful! What a blessing that you still have her!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!

[@minuitmaya]

All those great grandchildren, what wonderful blessing❣️ Thank you so much for sending some time with us Granny. 😊 🌿💐🌿

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks so much

[@donnaadams9971]

Tipper and Granny I just love these videos. She said she did not remember young love but the happiest yesr of her life was the first year she was married to Pap. You can tell she loves Jesus and her family. Love from Idaho❤

[@DebbieSiever]

Granny you are so sweet and such a kind person may God bless you

[@annierambo5606]

Tipper you are a blessed lady and it's easy to see why. Granny is a very special lady. Tipper this is so good for Granny to keep her mind sharp. I love your family. God bless y'all. Love and prayers.🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@Philippians--vz1mi]

What a truly delightful lady, I truly enjoyed listening to the answers she gave. God bless you all.

[@ckrtom2]

So sweet and precious! Granny does a great job answering questions. Not that easy for anyone, let alone someone in their 80’s…Love the various photos! When you’re our age (50’s), our parents growing up in the 1940’s-50’s-60’s (relatively “modern” times) doesn’t seem so long ago. Time does fly so dang quick!

[@gracelandone]

Granny rocks that plaid flannel look.

[@jankitteringham8483]

Bless you Dear Granny. Widowhood is the hardest thing. 🥰🇬🇧🙏🏻

[@garybrunet6346]

It's so wonderful to see you again, Granny! It really makes my day to hear about you, your life, and your family. I can see where Tipper, Katie and Corie get their beautiful brown eyes. Such beautiful pictures of you and all your family. You're a very lovely lady and have a wonderful family. I'm so happy that Tipper shares you with us. Sending blessings to you and all your family. 💕

[@maryjanelemon2531]

Granny you are so sweet, I love to hear you talk about days gone by. Blessings be with you always ❤

[@cassiopeia4015]

Cornmeal gravy!! I've not had that in years and years. When I was a teenager I ate so much I got foundered on it. But I sure would love to have some now. My mother made the best cornmeal gravy. Thanks for bringing back a happy memory.

[@chrismiko8652]

The twins look a lot like her as a girl. Such a kind lady. Send her my best wishes ❤

[@rhondablower3548]

Granny is just the sweetest! ❤

[@thomastommy1192]

Granny sounds a lot like myself By the time I was born most of my siblings were married with kids my age or older. There were 11 of us kids. I just lost my last brother. I have one sister left. This is a very sad part of my life. My heart goes out to Granny. God bless her always.

[@jackieawisdom9348]

Oh my gosh, you & your girls look like Granny!! She’s a beautiful lady. Really enjoying these questions.

[@janicenichols7271]

So nice to hear from Granny...The photo is precious...Katie resembles her Grandma.😊

[@EstherDoggett]

These question and answer sessions with Granny will be quite the treasure to your family in the years to come. Brought me to tears when she talked about your dad's death and being alone.

[@nancysigmon7471]

Thank you for sharing your precious mother in these videos! Her young picture looks so much like Corrie and Katie-so pretty! Please keep sharing!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!

Granny is a precious Elder beautiful, sweet and kind I do so enjoy these Q. and As. with you and Granny Tipper we get a glimpse into how family life was when she was a child and how grateful she is to have had a loving protected childhood, she’s a wise lady.

[@mikemanjo2458]

What a great interview with Granny! I'm so glad to see her again. Tipper, my Mom used to do with grits like you said about the cornmeal mush. She'd save the leftovers in a dish, slice and fry them up for supper with Pancake syrup....good stuff. Thanks for sharing this precious time with us. Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏

[@hermalisa]

She's absolutely precious! I want her to read me a bedtime story. Her voice is so sweet and soothing. Love and Blessings from Eastern Kentucky

Your sweet momma reminds me of my great-grandmother. She passed in 1999 when she was 95.
