    If Verina was my neighbor, I would visit her for tea every day.
    Verina's dessert looks absolutely amazing. I'm salivating, honey & orange, como meràbile!.
    She is one smart cookie, wow, 100 years old & her mind works better than mine at almost 66.
    Blessings to you always, Verina.

    Y'all, we're so close to 1 MIL subscribers!!! If any RUclips channel deserves 1 MIL subscribers, and beyond, THIS IS IT! I've been subscribed to Past Grannies pretty much from day one, and I've never understood why it's taken so long for it to get to this point. This is such a wonderful, lovely, beautiful channel. They truly deserve the recognition. Let's make it happen! Un bacio a tutti!

    This was delightful! My kindergarten teacher died at 98 last weekend and she continued to teach (pottery for the last decades) at school until last December. Her granddaughter told me that during hospice, she, in a semi-conscious state, said she wanted to throw some pottery on the wheel and spent the next two hours making motions with her hands as if she were pulling clay and then said she needed to load the kiln.. Verina seems to have the same depth of connection to her beekeeping. It seems that a joyful occupation in life certainly makes these elders live better, richer, and possibly longer lives.
