      I'm glad that someone else does too. 🙂👍
      Life is too short even at 105.
      Two years later, it's still possible. Perhaps the interviewer who has this channel and contact info would kindly make a call and find out how she's doing. Besides, I think it would bring joy to her heart to read, or have someone read all of these responses from time to time. We all need encouragement like that and especially the elderly shut ins who are separated from people in society. Here's something that we all need.

      @@preacherman9018 thank you sir. I am a Disciple of Jesus and strive every day to bring Him honor. I am a retired nurse and I love the elderly too. My grandma lived to be 104. She is my example of a Proverbs 31 woman. My granddad on the other side was a "Preacher Man" too. In their retirement they were missionaries to Haiti. They are the ones who prayed me into the Kingdom because my parents weren't interested. Jesus bless you sir. Have a blessed night. I can't wait to meet you in the Kingdom of God, brother.

      Sadly, we visited a lady in a convalescent home awhile back, and the "common" scene, is to see the grandchildren being encouraged to use the pool, while shoving grandma over in the corner with a big hat on, so people wouldn't communicate with her! Told you it was sad..No wonder people try to avoid many of those "homes ?"

    Love these stories,because I lived like that in the 1960s! My Dad heated bricks up & put them in our beds! Ice was on the inside window! Breakfast: ripped up homemade bread,can milk with water,with a little sugar on top! I slept on Two chairs pushed together,then moved to sofa . With 11 kids,it was hard. I remember: in school milk: white for a week 11 cents/ 17 cents chocolate. To make $ as a little kid,I would collect soda glass bottles & take to store!! We had a garden & Dad would get us rabbit to eat! Christmas: we all got color g books & crayons. A real sock hung,to get oranges & apples. Mister Softy: I could only get a icey for a Nickel. Butter was white with yellow dye to mix . My Dad quit school at 12 to work in mines, sisters quit school to help with bills. I real never notice it was hard! Made me strong!

    My papaw was born in 1907 and when I was born in 1976, he was already "up there". He lived to be 93 and passed Sept 11th the year before the events in NYC. Watching this, I cried with a smile on my face. The cadence of her speech and the words Granny uses are reminiscent of storytime with Papaw. I miss him so much, but this allows me to touch the past, even if just for a moment. Thank you! What a blessing this was to me!

    [ Awww, this is such a treat. It's like listening to my granny, rest her soul. She talked about the Christmas oranges too. She said she hid hers in her dresser drawer one year to save it and it rotted before she could eat it and she was always "disgusted" with herself for wasting it, but she wanted to savor the idea of having it as long as she could before eating it. When I was in college I interviewed my grandma about the flu and she told of the "gut wagon" that would come and gather the dead. She said her dad and herself were the only ones who didn't get sick and they took care of their family and the neighbors. Thank you for sharing and refreshing my memories of my own granny.]

    I'm a 69 year old Canadian. The first place I remember living in was a converted chicken coup behind a small wartime house. We had a coal bin attached to the back of the coup. A toilet which was actually an outhouse outside but tacked on next to the coal bin. Ice blocks were delivered for the icebox. A horsedrawn buggy delivered milk, butter and eggs weekly. A very simple life. That was in the late 50's an hour north of Toronto.❤

      It's as if the birds want to "tell their stories" too!
      Great Interviews, Mr. Davis; What a great lady, Catherine....Those BIRDS seem to want to say something too ?
      Did you ask Catherine how she feels about having the vaccine btw ? I'd just bet she's one who would have refused being shoved off into a convalescent home with the infected; she's one who chose stayed with her loved ones instead.
      Waiting for you do record a video of "children today" learning how to put batteries into their flashlights ?
      Then go visit the Quakers or the Amish, and show us how to hitch a team of horses ??
      We heard the words ' Bolshevicts", Hitler and Mussolini throughout the 50's as children, but never really knew what our grandparents were talking about until high school!
      Sadly, we visited a lady in a convalescent home awhile back, and the "common" scene, is to see the grandchildren being encouraged to use the pool, while shoving grandma over in the corner with a big hat on, so people wouldn't communicate with her! Told you it was sad..No wonder people try to avoid many of those "homes ?"
      Pls fwd this one to Catherine for me, will you ?

      "W E" should have never "allowed" pray in the schools to have been removed, in the first place !
      I think having "real" nutritional foods not packaged and stored had ALLOT to do with the physical HEALTH back then,too.
      And horses didn't run into each other and blow up on impact! So sick of "everybody in a hurry" and "no time to befriend your fellow man too!"

    This beatiful young lady's memories are a treasure. Thank you for sharing.
    But before you go on waxing poetic about the good old days when strong family values ruled and America was busy spawning its greatest generation ever, dont forget about how large populations of people were unduly suffering. If you were born with what was deemed to be less desirable i.e. darker skin, being female, disabled, wrong religion, etc etc etc, those good old says will suddenly become the fodder for unspeakable nightmares. Again, thank you for the beautiful memories. Just dont fall into the trap of thinking that just because something is old makes it better. If you get old enough then your todays will be the good old days as well. Make today a day you can look back on with pride instead of regret.

    I was born in 1957 and had been hearing about the Old Days,1870s on up, since I was a little kid. I would even hear stories about people they knew who were born in the 17th century. So, I think I will pass on this one. People like her who were born in 1918 were a dime a dozen up until the year 2000.
