and editing business videos for more than 30 years. Now I'm putting my talents

Burnt Peas
The Deerings

|
The Condensed Version:
Lord knows
she tried, but great-great-grandma Deering just couldn't cook. Take peas, for
example. She'd buy peas in the pod, shell 'em - and burn 'em. Then she'd
toss out the burnt peas and serve canned ones instead. When great-great-grandpa
complained that his peas didn't taste fresh, she'd storm into the kitchen,
return with handfuls of empty pea pods and declare, "See! Here are the
pods from the fresh peas!" Fooled him every time. |

As a young
girl at my great-great grandparents' table, my grandmother witnessed many
"burnt peas" episodes. Gram was a party animal, dancing the Irish jig
into her seventies. She never left a restaurant without stocking up on
sweeteners and leftover rolls. She was also a living link to my family's
past, with an endless supply of family stories.
As the professional
video producer in the family, I decided to preserve Gram's stories before
she was no longer around to tell them. So one day I sat Gram in front
of a video camera, pressed "record" and asked her to talk about her life.
I combined her interview with family photos, videos and music. The video
became an instant family treasure - a living legacy for generations to
come.
The experience
left me with a profound sense of fulfillment and joy. It also inspired
me to start Family Legacy Video, Inc. The company's mission: To provide
services and products that help you preserve your precious family history
and family stories on video.
