    I don’t fully know just why, but I find comfort in this channel that shows that REAL AMERICANS still exist. The family and civil values. I have been searching every day this channel looking for a new video. And here, we have another good one. Greetings from -Greg- just outside of Chicago. My location probably explains my fascination with this great & wholesome channel.

    I truly enjoyed this video. I absolutely love the country cooking! The lady who runs the restaurant is down to earth, a real person who seems to enjoy her job. Love the way she wears her hair up out of her face like a restaurant person should do. A lot of young people could learn a lot from her. Wish I lived in the area to buy her food. Looks like the kind of place you could eat everyday. I am so sick of restaurant food which all seems to be alike. I wish the entire store success. Things need to slow down in this world. It's going so fast you can barely catch up. Thanks.

As Americans are concerned with the future once again and taking a step back to regain the culture inwhich you! And your family before built this way of life on. Hassel of crowds and confusion! Of the fast! Pace, today is slowly regaining, it's a home connection as corporate officials took greed to far! Just for there own capital gains. 👍🏻💯🎯 Thanks again John,this video and other vids! And what once was shows,it's not lo late and it's trend is slowly at its tuning point! People have had enough of their lives being ran over by big tech! And needing to recreate family Values. 🙏🏻🇺🇲❤

    As one can see the comedy in the Andy Griffith show! But that's not what it's about . The people there ways beliefs and trust! Specially in each other and there church. We live so fast pace today! We see the show and it brings back memories of reality real honest culture ! Sure everyone had problems but no person dug in the personal life for attention and to cause harm . People were simple relaxed and respect. it was not at all peaches & cream! But a time that we had trust and open hearts. humanity was like a birthday people who around you were always willing to wish! you On your very special day! So laid back and appreciate life for all it offers and not be so aggressive or angered by others but to feel there pain in ways only those involed understand. Hatred had no place just minor disagreements here nor there! Nothing a handshake didn't solve.today it bitter,ignorance,Hatred and getting even worse thing is a need to revenge . love the show and yours John just reminds me now and then about yesteryear! years, Days hours, minutes and seconds. Of long lost time ⌚ at my age will never see again. Just appreciate those days & what your channel does for the people bringing a peice of culture and humanity back in God's green earth.When I'm Low! Lonely for apiece of mind,I always go through my collections and dream of home as a child,looking for hope and comfort . Its comic to watch but not far out of the welm. I just cant put it in all the words but most understand.ad you can tell I'm one of the dieing breeds Of time past! Just remember the world is always open for yor suggestions! Keep it real, don't fall for anything less and don't Dictate relax ask questions about your intrest and ask! Suggestions are welcome and friendly peaceful with heart for and from God's grace for all to achieve. 🙏🏻layman's terms sumed up! keep it simple and life won't pass you bye so quickly take time enjoy life with family& freinds,lifetime of memories for the next generation-your Legacy. 🤔👍🏻🙏🏻
