Was there something in particular that got her through the roughest days and helped her push forward or was it just that there was no choice. Any secrets to keeping the kids happy and occupied without all the junk they have now? Any advice to little girls growing up in this day and age that I could pass down to my daughter. Any advice for how to help an overly soft hearted child who is scared of growing up? ( not a wimpy one, or a lazy one, just a scared one) I wish I had a grandma to ask.


Aw, I will ask her. I'll do one on her kids/tips for parents... She had two girls and three boys, so she has lots of experience! Good luck and enjoy our show!

The other day my mom asked if I got her e-mail, I said "no, not yet" she looked disappointed, and said "Oh! I get it, you're too busy on 'backward chickens!" Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

 Trying to get ready for the filming of the show! The star is having her hair done, then when we pick her up we will shoot Episode 2!

Exciting things are hopefully going to happen with her show, but I'm not telling what, until we make arangements!

 I will say that our local newspaper is going to interview her in early September, and I will tape it! But that's all I'm going to say for now.

I have some phone calls to make and e-mails to send before I can say anything else...

 Right now, I've got some cleaning up to do. So I'd better get to it! Remember, look for the credits near the last part of the show...

Hope you all enjoy the show!

This is such a neat idea and she is just adorable. I just wish I could hear her better. The traffic noise in the back ground is very distracting. Can't wait for the next video.

Your great-grandmother is a lovely lady and her memories are a treasure! Thank you for sharing her with all of us.

 

I would like to know how (or if) every day life changed for her during WWII.

A mind is like a door.  Keep it open and something might get in.

Sorry I know that the noise was bad. This video we shot today was filmed inside.

Does she worry about her cholesterol levels?

 

Does she get annual physicals with tests galore?

 

Does she think humans have evolved at all(learning from mistakes),or is it pretty much the same old stuff,but different day?

 

Does she drink any alcohol?

 

Has she killed her own livestock for food,and does she prefer fresh to CAFO meats?

 

Did/does she drive?

 

Did she shoot guns,and does she think they are a good thing for all to have?

 

And a rather private one...how did women deal with menstration? What did mom's tell their daughters about i,t,and what products were used over the years before we had our *pads*.

 

What does she think of banks?Good place to keep the savings?

 

Prefer to live in  the city,suburb,or country?

 

Thoughts on the American healthcare system?

 

Sorry for repeat questions!

 

Wishing her well.
