Fifteen years ago Hubby, Sonny boy and I just got back from a 3 week road trip from Boston, Mass. back to our home sweet home in Lakewood, CA. We had spent almost a year living in a tiny town in Massachusetts, where Hubby had taken a temporary job to build an addition to a hospital. The year was remarkable in many ways, and the three week trip across the fruited plain was the cherry on top.
Since we had spent three days in NYC earlier in the year, we bypassed The Big Apple to see Washington, DC. I could visit that place once a year. I have been there only 3 times, but it is on the list. With the first visit, I became a patriot. For someone who had no brain time for history, the monuments, The White House and the Smithsonian planted a seed of deep respect for this country and what we have accomplished.
The reason I bring this all up is because for the last 2 months I have been addicted to taking our old video tapes and converting them to DVD format. I bought gosh- darn- left -over- at- Circuit City- going- out -of- business- Sony Movie Maker and painstakingly taught myself how to use it. It was hard, and I still don't understand certain techniques, so my time is doubled and tripled because of making mistakes, not knowing how to fix them and then finally figuring it all out the hard way. It's all worth it, because I have, with music and blends and video effects, made a permanent record of our 3,000 mile tourist/heart/history/attraction. Our stops included Gaitlinburg, TN, The Smokey Mountains, Nashville, Hot Springs, AR, the grassy knoll, and Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico.
When Hubby came home the other night, we watched it twice. It's on now.
I haven't changed a bit.
