You and your family are just awesome my dear friend! That is incredible!!! Would you all like to come to my house for an all expense paid week and refinish my hardwood floors and my bathroom that has been down to the studs for 3 years (no I'm not kidding!!!) I'd settle for one or the other . . . :o)

Is there nothing that you (& your family) can't do? I'm very impressed! It looks like a lot of work, but good memories, too. Thanks for sharing.

Loved it all and was frustrated that there wasn't a "replay" button installed. I'm so glad you enjoy making these videos Sis. They add alot to the Journals and fill in the gaps where my imagination runs out. At the end of this video I felt so much closer to you, and those you love. I see your face in your grandkids. Good to know you will continue beyond your days

I had a long comment written, and when I submitted it, it said "Sorry, an error occurred, try again". Arrrgghh!
This will not be as long! Just wanted to say how amazing it is that you did all of that in just 2 weeks! Love the video, and the various music was perfect! The before and after pictures were great. I bet the boys commandeer that basement room as a playroom! And it looks like you got it done just in time----before the snow came. I know how happy you are that they are nearby now. I know I would miss our local son and family if they had to move away.
Was thinking about you this morning when the Weather Channel was talking about all the snow you had. Glad you enjoy it----you know I don't! Hee-Hee. Maybe you can keep it all out there this year.
Our traveling kids had planned on going thru Colo. and Utah after they left their last tournament. But changed their minds when they saw how early your area was getting snow. They stayed south and went to the Grand Canyon instead, and are now in Phoenix for a couple weeks before heading to Yuma for the winter. They won't have too far to go for the Newport Beach tournament in Feb..
We may be putting in a bid on a repossessed motor home thru a local bank. We will look at the inside tomorrow and then decide. Have no idea how much interest it is attracting. Hope it works out.
Now, go enjoy your snow!! Hugs, Nancy

Patricia, that is one fantastic movie. I really enjoyed your choice of music. Wow, what a transformation, and in two weeks. I can only wish we could that much done in two weeks. Is this that family that was living with you, if so, I will bet you are going to really miss them???? Sounds like you have a better electrician at your house! LOL

Thanks, Patricia, for stopping by my profile! And I am thoroughly enjoying your video! My goodness, you sure got your hands *full with family projects! But a blessing as it binds family together, eh! And what fruitful hands all of you are! And congratulations on your daughter's *new home. Many blessings to follow in it....

Love the music that went in the video!! Especially from the 2nd one...that one is soO nostalgic. Love it....

The winds here in California are picking up..but getting cooler. I can smell Thanksgiving and Christmas coming around the corner...can't wait! Just loving this weather sans the winds! I hate the winds, especially if I'm on the freeway...those big trucks seem to sway my way...soO dangerous.

Take care of yourself...and again, glad you liked those JibJab videos. I made a whole bunch of my family's families, and compiled it into one big video. Couldn't resist having them in the video so when I send it to them for the holidays...they can have a good laugh!!

Take care...I'll be watching for your next video and blog! Love it....!!
