Look how pretty you are! That color looks great on you! Thank you so much for doing these stories! I *love* listening to them ♥This was an amazing story! Those were hard times but I think times like that build character. And yes...back then, it was normal for very young children to walk unaccompanied by parents. My mother used to tell me stories of how she'd walk to the movie theater to watch a movie by herself and then go back home at night. No way would that happen today. You'd probably never see your child again if you did. But you and Edna have some history between you. That's just really amazing. I hope you hear from her and see each other again.♥ Thank you so much for sharing these, Granny Pat, and for the little songs. So very sorry about your brother♥ Enjoy your cake and Dr. Pepper, sweet lady♥

What a wonderful story Granny Pat! I loved it. What the doctor said to you took me by surprise and I just howled! He is a funny guy. The war rationing and your friend Edna were touching. I wonder about many people whom I knew but have drifted off. Some of them I would just like to thank for being my friends or for different things that they did for me. Life is funny…it starts out slow and then suddenly speeds up. Thank you for another wonderful story.

Thank you Granny Pat for this video with such an interesting and good story. I am 51. My Mom and I watch your KZbin channel (we’ve almost got every video watched!) and this story really resonated with us. My grandpa and grandpa (Mom’s parents) used to sing us the Froggy Went A Courtin’ song all the time & I haven’t heard it in years since they have been gone & I’m so glad to hear the words again! Such good memories! I am going to rewatch your video and write them down to keep. Please keep bridging the gap between our generations because it’s so important to keep these stories going. This one made our day❤

Hi Granny Pat. You look so adorable in your red and the glasses make it over the top. Wow. You are a pretty lady. I certainly listened to every word about the wartime history. It was a journey for each one of you that lived it and I am certain it was difficult. I bet you thought about your dear brother this past Veteran's Day. But as always, you also remembered the good times and telling about each one made your eyes glisten. I love your song from the Bing Crosby era. You have a great memory and a good voice. I loved hearing of your times with Edna. So happy you two are still the best of friends and keep in touch. I am happy you went to the doctor and got your ear checked. I like your doctor's sense of humor. Enjoy your cake and Dr. Pepper. Love you.😊❤

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I remember the last song about swinging on a star 🌟 but not the other two. I was born after the war in 1952. My parents married in 1950. My dad had served in the Army as a Medic in France and Germany. From ages 18-21. He married my mom at age 25 and was 27 when I was born. He was one of the liberators of the survivors of the Holocaust. My mom was 6 years older than my dad. I love your story about your friend Edna.

[@barbarahouser2193]

Grannie Pat! I always have to smile when I see what you are wearing for the day! which glasses you have on, how your hair style is holding up! ,I remember during the fiftys when mom and gramma had their hair done at the beauty parlor, they would wrap their hairdo in toiletpaper to keep the do from getting messy! Love your remembrances, they are very touching, sometimes hilarious or a little sad, but always wonderful to hear them and they bring back so many memories! you are a darling! 🏡😢😲

I meant when mom and gramma went to bed those nights, they wrapped their hair in T.P.😊

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

@@barbarahouser2193 Yes, toilet paper. Also, my mother wore invisible hairnets to keep her hair in place. She had jet black, very pretty hair. She would sit at the dresser and have me pluck the few white hairs that appeared now and then. She was past 90 before her hair turned gray. She was very upset about that!

I remember one verse of that song. Now brother rat had gone to town. Ah huh, ah huh. Now brother rat had gone to town, to buy Miss Mousy a wedding gown. Ah huh, ah huh. I haven’t thought of that song in years. I’m 61, and as a 6 year old I was taught to play that on my guitar. My teacher must have been born in the 30s. I loved all those old songs. I think we called the song, There was a Mouse Who Lived on a Hill. ❤ thanks for that stroll down memory lane Granny Pat.

[@MariaLovesThis]

Granny, I so enjoyed this story about your coworker and how you crossed paths twice in life. I also enjoy every little descriptive detail as you paint a picture of Oak Ridge and your surroundings. I think my favorite part was listening to you recite some verses from Froggy Went A’Courtin’. Both my children enjoyed the song by Burl Ives, and the little golden books illustrating the entire song. Thank you for this sweet and happy memory. By the way, I played this video early this morning, tonight I was feeling restless and out of sorts so I I have just played it again, and all is well in the world. You do have a gift for bringing us into a place of calm, humor and comfort. I truly mean this. Thank you. One more thing: my husband just joined me in watching you, and I asked him, “ do you think we will be this sharp and will have her mental clarity to recall so many details of years past, when we’re 88?” “Not a chance!” he replied. Please keep entertaining us but also educating us. I learned so much bout life in the time period of the 1940s, the war, life back then. Again, thank you for sharing of yourself with us. ❤
