Catching up with Granny | Talking about Gardening, Crochet, & Being Blessed to Live in Appalachia 

Your mother is a treasure. What a wonderful lady.

Oh my, she reminds me of my granny so much. That white hair, it's beautiful. Having 13 children she ended up with over 50 grandchildren but she made a point to make each of us a quilt. It's a treasure.

Oh my goodness!!!! I adore Granny!!! So very happy to see her!!! She is absolutely precious!!! Thank you Tipper!!! Love you both to pieces!!! ❤️❤️

You are so lucky 🍀 to still have your mom. Sending hugs to you both. Thanks to your beautiful content and videos.

Tipper, please tell your mom how enjoyable it was to "catch up" with her. The story Granny told about the GPS was priceless. The best quote "Computers won't eat eggs". Thank you again. We are Blessed to have your family share with us.

Just got home from my parents.. we had my dad’s garden vegetables, mom’s cornbread. Good stuff😊 makes me smile seeing you and granny share. We are blessed to have our precious moms.

I miss my Mommy so much. She loved her family/grandchildren so much. I enjoy your mother’s talks.

Reminds me so much of listening to my Mom, Dad, Grandma, Aunt's and Uncle's visiting with each other at Grandma's house. Us kids were to be seen and not heard. We were to listen and learn. My Lord Miss Tipper! I haven't heard anyone say jar flies since my Mom left this Earth. 🥺 I miss those days so very, very much. I miss them so damned much. We have entirely too much technology. The art of conversation is being lost. Thank you for sharing. ~ APRIL LIPKE

Granny is a total sweetheart! I just love hearing y’all talk. I so miss my Grandma. I remember helping her to snap beans, shuck corn, peeling peaches and picking blackberries and strawberries for canning and freezing. We’d sit and talk about anything and everything. Those were the best days even though I didn’t realize it then.

What a sweetheart Granny is and she seems like such a kind soul. We are enjoying some down time and cooler temps in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. June is our busy time with wheat harvest and other things so we always look forward to spending time in the mountains in July. I read once….If you’re lucky enough to live in the mountains, you’re lucky enough! I’d say what a blessing. Thank you for sharing Granny with us. She reminds me of my Granny. ❤️❤️❤️

What a blessing your mom is. I feel just as blessed. My mom turned 93 in May. She canned snap beans, tomatoes and made jelly. I learned from her and do the same. My dad's mom taught me how to crochet. Every baby that comes into the family, gets a crocheted blanket from me. I have roots, on both sides, in Appalachia! Watching your channel makes me feel at home. Thank you!

Every cook, taught by either a parent or grand-parent or even a close loved one, imparts not only their own unique “ love “ but also the “ love “ imparted to them by their “ teacher “. The meals become a heavenly combination of kinship, learning and a deep love of family; making each and every meal slightly different because of the generations of love behind their creations. Tres Magnifique!!! 🥰

Thanks for sharing your visit with Granny. Not only are you blessed to live in the mountains, you are blessed to have each other. You already know that though!

Granny is such a treasure! Just adore seeing her and hearing her stories. Makes me miss my Mamma.

We call them jar flies too! Man oh man, homemade blackberry jelly on a hot cat head biscuit sure sounds good! It's very moving to me to see the love and respect you show your mother. You've blessed my heart as usual.

We are blessed to live in the Appalachians!! Granny has such a sweet voice. I love her story about Siri!! Hope you all have a wonderful week!!

This is your best video ever. I just love it. I used to just love sitting around and talking to my grandma. Best Sunday afternoons ever.

My favorite episodes are when Granny is in them. I just love her so much! You are truly blessed.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this video of Granny. She is so precious. We just love her! I can't help but think that appliances and other things aren't purposely made to not last a long time, not like they were made many years ago.

Oh Tipper!!! Thank you for sharing Granny!!! She is so adorable!!! Love you both!!! ❤️❤️❤️ From Mississippi

Thanks for sharing this Tipper. I know that’s your Mom, but she reminds me so much of my Grannie, (yes, that was her name too). Although my Grannie is gone, I would sit and talk with her when I traveled back home. I cherish those times. Your Mom hands look the same. I would hold Grannies and she would talk about how they been busy since she was a child. She would ask me to pray for her hands so she can continue doing the things she loved to do. I’ll say the same prayer to your mom as I did for her. “God, bless the hands of your servant Grannie. She loves you and wants to continue doing your work. Amen”

Oh Tipper. I just love the conversations with your sweet momma. Her crocheting project is beautiful and how very thoughtful of her to make some ahead for new ones to come. My mother loved to crochet. She passed 9 yrs ago and I miss getting to put up things with her this time of year. Thank you for sharing your momma with us. Tell her we would enjoy seeing her more often.

Love seeing ya'll setting and catching up for us. Granny looks wonderful.

Oh how I wish our elders were still here. Thank you for sharing

Listening to your sweet mama is like a visit with my mom. I’d give everything I own to get to garden and cook with her again. Treasure every second you get to enjoy her company and wisdom.

You mother is a twin to my late mother-in-law. I love to hear her talk. Hope to see more of you and granny ❤️

"....she was so nice! I said, Paul, you should thank her!" 😘😘That is precious! I wish I could just give Granny a hug!! My mama and all my 'Grannies' are long gone. I miss their love, cooking, and humorous comments. ❤❤

This made my heart hurt, my grandparents are in a different country and I haven't seen them since pre-pandemic. Cherish granny, lots of love to you both

Granny really had all her memories together, didn't she? What a treasure she was!

I could listen to Granny all day. I like that baby blanket and little bear. Just adorable! You're right, nothing tastes like Mama's cooking.😊

Hi Tipper So nice to see you & your mother together Enjoying your time with one another 💕 How sweet!! The crocheted blankets & bears she made are very special.. really cute too 💕🌸🤗 My mother-in-law crocheted also and everyone has something special from Her to treasure forever & pass on ❤️🥰 Thanks for sharing your mother with us . Brenda

Love your episodes when you talk to older people about their stories of growing up in Appalachia would be great to interview more people and hear their experiences thanks

I felt like I was visiting with my Momma. One thing I noticed were the hands. A life time of work, and Granny was just like my Momma and Grandma was sitting there. You truly ARE blessed to still have her.

You lovely ladies talking about beans makes My mouth water..😏

I love your Granny(mother), so sweet.

I love it when Tipper says ‘bounty from the garden’…as a young girl I learned a prayer that ended with “through the bounty of Christ our Lord, Amen”. What a blessing you and granny and your family are!❤️

Oh how I wish I could still sit down and talk to my Mom and Grandparents. Soak up EVERY second of her and her stories you can. Let her talk and tell you every bit of the past you can. One day that will sustain your heart. Thank you for sharing her with us! Please do that more. Dont feel alone, it started with our Dryer, heat pump/AC then fridge, now ANOTHER dryer.. Which they don't make the circuit board for anymore (😳 what?) So we are on the same appliance journey that you are. Prayers for all.

She reminds me of my Mom She is 92 years old I love just sitting and talking to her and reminisce about the olden days. Enjoy her. Your mom is very talented beautiful work.

People who lived through the depression love putting up food I could listen to you 2 for a long time

So nice to hear your Mother talk about her love of gardening, canning and crocheting...She is a true blessing to your lives!!! Always love to hear you and family have everyday conversations.😊

My lord. Just like sitting on the porch with my granny. I remember driving her back to Southeast KY from Texas. If she wasn't sleeping she was reading EVERY sign she saw all the way. By Littlerock Arkansas I was seriously wondering if she would fit in the trunk 😂😁😳

How sweet granny is! Makes me miss my sweet granny. What a treasure.

Within the first 10 seconds, I was transported to so many cherished conversations with my grandmother. Miss her every day. Thank you for sharing!

Oh my word. She is so precious. I have no parents or grandparents left and miss them so much. You are truly blessed. As far as appliances, nothing lasts like they did years ago. They want you to have to replace them sooner so they make more money.

May I take a moment to say what a blessing you all are; and yes, you all are so blessed!! Thank you, Tipper, and Granny💖

I can't imagine what I would give to have some time to sit with my granny again. Most of us just don't know what we are missing when we don't take advantage of the time we have. And that quilt/animal are FANTASTIC!!!!

You will cherish these memories for ever. Bless you for visiting Granny, so many people are in too big a hurry to sit and talk with the elderly these days. We will soon be saying goodbye to so much wisdom and family. Glad that she seems to be enjoying the day and visit.

My Daughter’s always say the same thing “ it doesn’t taste like yours mom” and They are all good cooks lol I think there’s just no cooking like moms ❤️ green beans are my favorite things to grow and can 😊

Aww, your Mom is precious, that blanket and bear is absolutely adorable. My Mom is 94 she's in a nursing home and I miss her terribly. My siblings and I go visit when we can, of coarse, but it's heart breaking when it comes time to leave her.

Tipper, I just loved the way you spoke so easy with Granny. You took your time and gave Granny her sweet time to respond and join in. Home is where the heart is 🌾

I love listening to all the wisdom of gardening, canning and crocheting between Granny and You. I absolutely love the beautiful baby blanket and bear! Granny you are so talented! You are indeed Blessed to live in the beautiful Mountains!❤

I loved hearing about your momma. It was so funny that she told Paul to thank Siri. You can tell she is a gentle woman with good manners. I loved hearing her talk. What a true blessing!

Ohmygoodness! She is the cutest Lil button of a thing! So polite to thank a computer. Such a blessing in this world.❤

Mom's cooking is always so good! Everything I try to make doesn't taste as good as Mom's. Ms. Granny is so precious! Her blankets with animals are adorable.

What a precious morning visit. Granny should make some of those sweet baby blankets with bears and let Corie sell them on Etsy. They would be gone before she could post them. One of a kind. Please do this again. We love the morning talks. God bless Granny! She is a joy!

I miss the stories my Grandmaw used to tell. She was born and raised in Shawnee Oklahoma. She live through the Depression and experienced the Dust Bowl first hand. Her name is Estel Boyd. She has dementia now and doesn't hardly know who I am but when she has her moments of clarity she tells of a time when things were simpler and to me, better, no matter how hard it was.

GRANNY IS SO PRECIOUS,I LOVE IT WHEN SHE IS ON HERE,SHE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MY AUNTS(OF COURSE THEY ARE ALL GONE ON TO BE WITH JESUS) I MISS THEM ALL SO MUCH. I HOPE Y'ALL WILL STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS

I love that quilt! That's about the cutest baby present I ever saw. I also enjoy hearing Granny's take on things. I think it's awful that your stove conked out after only 8 years! Stoves aren't meant to be disposable. Granted, my perspective may be a little skewed, since my stove is about 75 years old. When it stopped working about 20 years ago, I looked around at the new stoves and decided to get my old one overhauled instead, even though it was a little pricey to find someone to repair such an old model. The newer ones just seemed flimsy. I don't envy you having to learn a new one. When I had to get my old dryer repaired a few months ago, the repairman told me that even if the whole motor needed to be replaced next time, I should hang on to my old washer and dryer, because with the new ones, when the computer gives out, you have replace the whole computer and it costs almost as much as a new machine. And he said the computer gives out every 4 or 5 years. He said he went bought the old Kenmore model I have for his parents for that reason. It's not as old as my stove; it's only about 35 years old. 😂 My refrigerator is the newest major appliance I have; it's "only" about 30 years old. 😁 It's no wonder I like hearing you talk to Granny: she's probably closer to my age. I think you are blessed to have each other nearby. You're blessed to have her knowledge and wisdom and she's blessed to have your help.

Yes, y'all are truly blessed and so am I and many others because of your kindness in sharing this visit.

That bear and blanket is so adorable. Those babies will treasure those. Beautiful job granny.

Granny is a gem!!! Not many like her anymore. Your family is so blessed to have her still with you. We've been stringing breaking beans for last 2 weekends. Great memories

Granny is a real treasure! I go by every Monday after the gym and visit with her. We chat as she crochets. She is a little older them me but only a few years. Granny is a real gem!

Hello to Mother and Daughter. How blessed to have this precious woman in your life. Things made today do not last. Made that way on purpose so you will buy another. Hang on to your old appliances. God bless you all Love Appalachian folks and mountains. Greeting from Texas.💕🇺🇸

Yes it’s a Blessing to live e in the mountains and I hope soon to move there. But I’m sitting in the porch and listening to y’all and it’s been raining here so it’s cool with a breeze feels good talking about the stuff from the garden is making me hungry Tipper tell granny and all hello for me God Bless

Granny is the best!! Can I claim her as my granny too? Bless her heart!!! Love you Granny!!

Love visiting with Granny. In Appalachia we have such love and respect for our elders. They are a gold mine of history from how to do things to stories of our family that has gone on. My momma taught us to call older people Aunt or Uncle even if we were no related. It was a form of respect.

My mother died when I was 23. 66 now. It's so sweet your mom is still here. So much knowledge & experience.

Loved seeing and hearing Beautiful Granny.

Your mom is so sweet💕. Young people need to treasure their elders and soak up all that knowledge they have!

I am sure you already do this, but cherish this time with Granny. She is an absolute treasure. I so wish I could go back and talk with the elders that I grew up around. So much knowledge and wisdom that they had, but children just dont think like that. It's my favorite garden time right now. I love fried green tomatoes. I enjoyed the video, and thank you for sharing Granny with us.

I can't tell you enough how much I loved this video! Granny is just precious! I couldn't help but giggle every time granny said, "Booger Hollar"

I could listen to this beautiful woman talk about anything for hours...what a treasure of knowledge she has...God bless 💖

I happen to be making a cucumber and tomato salad for supper tonight, but with vegetables from the supermarket as opposed to a garden. How thoughtful of Granny to be working on crocheting blankets and bears for her future great-grandchildren!

She reminds me of my grandmother. That same sweet, gentle southern voice.

So sweet. My mom has been gone since 2016. To be able to sit and have an easy conversation is something I truly miss. Thanks to you and to your mother for bringing back good memories.

Thank you for sharing your sweet momma with us! She is the same age as my dear daddy. Their generation can teach us so much, and I wish more would realize what a treasure they are while we still have them here with us. When we just slow down and sit down and talk with them a while, it makes their whole day so much better, and always gives us something special to walk away with.

Always a pleasure

My granny was actually my great grandmother and I loved spending time with her and my grandmother. She crocheted quite a bit and was always making afghans and stuffed animals. I have two baby afghans she gave me when I was 18 so I'd have them when I had a baby. Granny passed away in 1992 and my daughter wasn't born until 2015 so I had those afghans several years before they were used.

Oh what special memories you are making with Granny. Just love it. Granny is a special lady.

I love the talks with Granny. Please tell her how much we love her.

Oh my goodness granny is a precious woman. What a wonderful treasure she is, hugs from Ohio.

What a gem! I could listen to granny all day. God bless her

I grew up in Appalachia, and always heard that if you cook when you are angry, upset or not feeling well your cooking won't taste as good or turn out well. My mom loved us dearly, and loved to cook for us. Her heart was full of love. People wanted her fried chicken, biscuits, wilted lettuce, etc all the time, and she was happy to do it. Her biscuits were always tall and gorgeous. She never ever measured anything, and I definitely can't do that. I can cook anything she made, but it's not the same as hers.

Porch sittin with Mom🥰 I miss those days with mine.

Computers can't cook like granny can!! I cook just the way mine did, but it's not the same cause granny always cooked with love ❤ My grandma would cook like 20 people were coming to eat. Walk in the kitchen to a pan of biscuits, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cubed venison steaks, sawmill gravy, fresh sliced tomatoes. "Who's coming to eat with us?" "Oh, it's just you and me son" Wonderful memories.

I could listen to your mom talk all day. She is such a joy.

What a wonderful lady this is! So sweet and kind! This dear lady reminds me of my own beloved Mama, who has been with God for nearly 23 years now. Oh, how I love and miss her! I'm looking forward to seeing her again some day. Treasure every moment you have with your older relatives! Some say they will be gone and you will only have their memories to hold.

Your momma is such a sweetheart you are so blessed to have each other and you are blessed to live in Appalachia God bless y'all. So sweet

Back in the early 1960's my paternal grandma, who we called Nanny, made seven quilts out of fabric scraps she saved. One fit our parents' large bed, and the others were for all the kids. They were so pretty and cozy, and I wish I had kept one of them. And Nanny always put up preserves. She made wonderful apple chutney, hot pepper relish and piccalilli! She had a "Welbilt" gas stove and oven like my mom did. Your Mom reminded me so much of Nanny!

As you know, listening to your mom is one of my favourite things!😊🇨🇦

I love Granny !!! Love to see more of her....

How wonderful to "meet" Granny! She looks an awful lot like my Na-na! Sounds like her, too. I lost my Momma back in the early '70's. How I wish she was still around! She's at rest now. She struggled with poor health for years and years...yes, God gave her the rest she needed.

I just love Granny. She’s such a sweetheart.

What a charming, genteel lady! Thank you for sharing your mother with those of us whose moms and grannies are no longer with us.

Just love starting our day with those we Love 💕 God Bless you Granny ❤️

Granny puts me in the mind of my Maw Maw Frankie. Granny is precious and I love when you visit with her so we can all visit too! 💓

My Grandmother would call me at work, on your way home we need to gather stuff from the garden. How I miss those days.

Just love Granny! Bless her! I could sit and listen to her all day!❤️

Her crocheting is phenomenal. She is so sweet. Tipper you come from good people.

Yayyyyyy!!!!!! I absolutely looooooove granny!!!!!!!! I could just talk with her all day long! I would so love listening to all her stories ❤️
