[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

Tipper, I think one of your greatest blessings and treasures is that you still have your mother with you. Cherish every single moment you have with her, because those memories will one day be more precious than any material possession you could have. ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so right! Thank you 😀

[@carolynharmon7074]

Very True!!

[@meatavoreNana]

I never had a Nana . Now, I am a Nana myself. My mum had me at 45 and both my Nanas had gone to God.. Treasure your mums and Nanas and ask them lots about your history and their childhood.

[@elainebuchka6533]

I AGREE !!!

[@jankirschke7425]

My mama is 97. I’m going to visit her in a few weeks. I was sorry the day that we had to move away from mama and dad. I love her to pieces.

[@sergiovalenti7255]

The music box song sounded like, My Melody of Love. This is a priceless video, I love the older generations.

[@tinahuffman2788]

I really enjoy your interviews and talks with people. One of the things that really stand out to me is that you ask a question and allow people to not only respond to the question but allow their own words and thoughts to carry the conversation. You don't have a need to hurry them along. Your kind and gentle and interested in all they have to say and it shows. Of course anytime we get to chat with Granny is a treasure ❤️. God bless!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so nice-thank you Tina 😀

[@mildredrharmon4032]

So, so special ❤️ she is so right! We are blessed!!!🛐🥰🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️✝️🇺🇸

[@judyabernathy80]

Tipper, your little mother is so precious I just want to hug her. She’s so genuine and loved her husband and family so much. I always wanted a bride doll when I was a little girl, but we had no money to buy it. So, when I saw Granny’s doll I wanted to cry with joy. And, she’s kept it so nice all these years. She is such a treasure!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@G-MAW-9]

Granny is so precious. She's your treasure Tipper. God bless her. ❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

She sure is 😀 Thank you!

[@cchap-222]

Tipper the name of the song that's playing on your mom's little jewelry box is My Melody of Love. I recognized it but I looked it up just to make sure. It breaks my heart to see your mom missing the man she loved so much. It's a Testament to your parents on what true love looks like. I wish all marriages were as great as theirs was. We are so blessed to still have our moms.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you!!

[@lori4321go]

Bobby Vinton, “My Melody of Love,” I think is the song on the music box. My grandpa used to sing it. ❤ Beautiful video!

[@scottclay4253]

Granny is a sweetheart. She passed that trait on to you and you passed it on to Katie and Corie.

[@ktrayan1]

She is just the cutest lady! I love her manner, she seems so sweet. And you and the girls really look like her!! 😊

[@cindyharbert553]

Granny is so sweet & soft-spoken. I just love when she makes appearances on the channel. Cherish every moment with her, Tipper, as there is no greater treasure this side of Heaven, than a Mother’s love!❤️ God bless & keep you both.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks so much 😀

[@vickish6031]

I couldn't of put it better myself Cindy!! Granny seems like such a sweet soul. I sure do miss my mom. Tipper, you will be so happy that you have these videos! ❤❤

[@christinej2358]

What a blessing for you Tipper to still have your sweet mom. Granny is so precious and she blesses us by sharing her stories.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks so much 😀

[@loriwilkeson1077]

She is the sweetest. In one of the pictures toward the end of the video of her and her mother, I can see your daughters resemble Granny quite a bit.

[@thedreadtyger]

ah, the Christmas Poke. i make em up for our Church and for the people where i work my job. i always draw animals on em, as cute as i can. there was an old couple from Serbia that had a gallery in the building. they were very sweet. he hardly spoke any English, but she had lived in Chicago for several years before he come over. i give them one of the pokes. well, he opened it up and grinned and called his wife over. she looked in and seen the two oranges and the stick candy. her face took on the sweetest look. he said: "is same in Serbia!" they're gone now, but i still smile when i think of em.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

What a great memory-I just love it! Thank you for sharing the story 😀

[@-TammyJean-]

Granny is so sweet sharing her precious memories about her most cherished treasures ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind 😀 Thank you!

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

I love her Bible! What a sweet treasure! I have an old Bible that belonged to my mama. In Mississippi, many years ago, the funeral home in our area would always give a large Bible (I called it a coffee table Bible) to families who had lost a loved one. My mama got one when her dad passed away. He died many years before I was born. This Bible was filled with all kinds of beautiful pictures, and as a young child, I loved looking at that Bible, which I did every day. When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I began attending a little church down the road from our house with my older sister. One day, my Sunday school teacher asked us to bring our favorite Bible with us to church. I begged my mama to let me take that big Bible with me to church, and I was so mad when she wouldn't let me. (The Bible was about as heavy as I was at the time!) Fast forward many years later, I went to seminary in Kentucky where I learned all about those pictures I saw in that Bible, and I appreciate them more now than I ever imagined I could. I still have that Bible. It is worn and tattered now, mainly due to me flipping through those pages again and again over the years. I love that Bible to this day, and I am so proud to have it. ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

How wonderful! I'm so glad you have it 😀

[@lukedawg357SIG]

Always a blessing to hear and see Granny take care and God Bless.

[@bobsternvogel5550]

It's always interesting to see photos and other items that remind you that an old person was a kid once. Thanks to such videos as this, I know more about your closest family members than I do about some of my own not-too-distant relatives!

[@TheMtggrl]

What a sweet, dear lady, how lucky you are to be able to call her your "mother" aka granny. Thank you for sharing this wonderful conversation with us.

[@michelles9897]

I am sure Granny misses her husband Pap so much. It’s so nice that he brought her gifts & surprises & that she treasures them so 🤍

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

She does miss him! Thank you 😀

[@brightpurpleviking]

Louzine is a darling, beautiful woman. Tipper, you were raised by a wonderful mother! What a legacy for your girls and future grandkids. Thank you for sharing this 💗

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

My Mama bought Allison a porcelain doll.We were at mall in Rocky Mount.She had her in a little stroller. The doll fell out and a lady shopping came quickly over to render assistance. That doll looked so real.

[@brendaschenck859]

She’s so sweet, her voice reminds me of my mama ❤…loved hearing her tell about her treasures..Bless Her🤗❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Brenda 😀

[@mistya627]

Oh Tipper, you have to start talking to Granny each week! I could listen to her talk for days. She is a true blessing. The baby, Bible and recipe box. She’s a treasure. What a blessing to still have your Mother. I miss mine terribly. This is something to treasure! ❤️

[@pamelam1500]

Oh how I miss the storytelling of my father and Grandma (born and raised in Tennessee). What a precious mother you have. You have been blessed with that storytelling gift also!!!

[@frankknight4491]

That was beautiful listening to her speak of the love of her husband and your father and I agree y'all are blessed to live in the area y'all are in. Y'all need to hold a Miss brass Town pageant because I know your mother would be a shoe in to win, she is absolutely adorable.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That is so sweet 😀 Thank you!

[@SherylPaulFTP]

Granny is such a beautiful person. I enjoy hearing her speak. Her treasures are so interesting

[@patrickrwhite8354]

Hi Tipper I always say just sit an hour if you can at a Seniors side and you will have stories that will make you so full of joy to know how life was so different when she was a child. It is one of the best lessons anyone can ever have. Tipper is Granny your Mother? Seems there is a resemblance of sorts. Enjoyed this video so well. Thank you Granny for sharing. I remember getting gold stars and red stars and blue stars at school many times good memories. Made you feel really special. Wow 24 when Granny got married, I'd say that was unusual as I would gather that most people back then got married when they were 12 and 13 years old Or I could be wrong about that. My Dad was Baptist and my Mom converted him to the Church of England. So many lovely memories that will live on for a very long time. Thank you Tipper for sharing your interview with Granny.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you enjoyed it! She is my mother, one the first grandchild came along she became granny to us all 😀

[@patrickrwhite8354]

I could also give Granny a BIG hug she is more than sweet. She is an ANGEL a LIVING ANGEL.

[@carolynpurser7469]

Thanks for sharing your treasures with us Granny! The Bible from your grandpa must be a very special treasure.

[@sisduh]

Holiday/Christmas greetings to your beautiful family and subscribers, all the way from New York City, on this [lovely] rainy winter's day. I would like to thank you for sharing so many loving, creative and special moments, in and out of the kitchen. All are filled with such warmth and a whole lot of inspiration. I also want to mention that your precious mother, "Granny" is a joy to listen to. I loved each and every walk down memory lane as she shared those treasured gifts from past years. As for the magnificent music box her beloved husband gave her, I am almost positive the tune it plays is called "Melody Of Love". The song was recorded by many vocalists, but Bobby Vinton made it a hit back in the 70's. Please let her know how much I valued listening to her, and that I hope she will make future appearances here on your channel. G-d bless all of you for a healthy, loving, peaceful and Merry Christmas/New Year. MELODY OF LOVE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpfRc6uYed9qbbc

I love listening to her stories. Just precious. I lost my grandparents very young. My maternal grandpa was born in 1888 and my maternal grandmother was born in 1900. I remember them both as a child but wish I had asked them more questions about their childhoods.

[@miarosie]

Your mother is beautiful, and how she looks like her mother … and how you resemble your mum when she was younger. Gorgeous photo of her and her mother. I felt a heartstring being pulled when she spoke of her husband, she clearly loved your dad very much (& he obviously loved her too). Thank you for this lovely video.

When I was real little, our town's main street had a doll hospital. Listening to this made me remember the owner who repaired my doll over 50 years ago. I had some beauties back then, but made my mom get rid of all my dolls after I had snuck down one night to watch a horror movie with my dad about living dolls. She has some wonderful treasures.💕

My doll has lost its shoes, too.😊 I love her musical jewelry box that Pap got for her. She's such a beautiful, sweet lady, and she tells the most interesting stories. The picture of her with Gazzie, she looks just like Katie now. Tell her that I still have my recipe box that I got when I was in home economics in the 7th grade many years ago too.

Your Sweet Mama said that y'all are blessed to live in your part of the country. I've visited that area many times and I must agree that you are indeed lucky to live in those beautiful, serene, majestic mountains. I never want leave when I visit. We ate Sunday lunch in Murphy on our way to Maggie Valley and Gatlinburg a couple of years ago. I remember thinking how nice it would be to call a mountain town home. I enjoyed watching y'all reminisce as I was eating my supper of purple hull peas, sour kraut and smoked sausage and cornbread and sweet tea. I may not live in the mountains but I'm southern and proud of it. Thanks again Tipper and Granny.

Tipper, your mom is just so precious. She is truly a treasure! I still collect dolls. I’ve seen some that look like real little girls and cost in the thousands of dollars. I had a little bride doll that I won in Atlantic City when I was a little girl, just by putting a token on my birthday date. I had her for years, until she fell apart. I had a special shelf that I had to keep all of my “shelf dolls” on…the special dolls I wasn’t aloud to play with. Thank you for sharing your mom with us again.
