    I live learning from people that know how to survive and live a good life. We’re too soft now. I keep learning how to do things the traditional way. We may need this information at some point and it’ll be nice to know before we need it.

    I remember when I was a kid, there was a hotdog place around the block. Nothing I wanted more than a hotdog, fries, and an italian ice from that place. I think it was called Relish the Dog.

    Love this video and how Clara talks about the past and being happier. That is the truth when foods were made from scratch and that's how I make foods today. Her video was so happy and homey. Thank you

    I grew up without air conditioning in central Florida… The first time I saw an A/C in a house I was 14… I remember those hot summer nights with a wet washcloth on my forehead. Ya, we're definitely more pampered than ever and people still complain. SMH

    I haven't watched a Clara video for a couple years and she popped up today
    I just had to watch her! It's like being away from home for a long time and then you go home. It was so good to watch video today

    With skyrocketing prices of everything here in the United States, this wisdom from a generation past will be needed

    They were poor, but they were happy because back then children were grateful and appreciative. These last couple of generations are nothing but entitled little f#ckers

    😏WHAT A LADY! (PEOPLE APPRECIATED WHAT THEY HAD) EVEN WHEN IT WAS CLOSE TO NOTHING …RIP MISS. CLARA 🌹

    Clara’s statement about how little they had, but how happier they were than people are today, is so true. Too many people today have forgotten what’s truly important.

    Here I am watching this video just shy of what would be Miss Clara’s 108th birthday. So happy early heavenly birthday Miss Clara.❤

    People don’t care or respect the elderly like when I was young. As little kids we would walk almost a mile to visit with one sweet old lady. It made her day. But kids don’t give the elderly the time of day. It’s also a much different time in the world. It’s hard to know who you can trust.
