Take peas, for example. She&#8217;d buy peas in the pod, shell &#8217;em &#8211; and burn &#8217;em.

Here are the pods from the fresh peas!&#8221; Fooled him every time.<\/p>\n<p>As a young girl at my great-great-grandparents&#8217; table, my grandmother witnessed many &#8220;burnt peas&#8221; episodes. Gram was a party animal who danced the Irish jig into her seventies. She never left a restaurant without stocking up on Sweet&#8217;N Low packets and leftover rolls. She was also a living link to my family&#8217;s past. Her supply of family stories was endless.<\/p>\n<p>One day in 1995 I decided to put my professional video expertise to work preserving my Gram&#8217;s stories. I sat Gram in front of a video camera, pressed &#8220;record&#8221; and asked her questions about her life. I combined her interview with family photos, videos and music. The result: my first Family Legacy Video. It became an instant family treasure. I still bask in the warmth of my family&#8217;s gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>I began Family Legacy Video in 2003 in order to help individuals and families preserve their precious stories on video. Family Legacy Video offers products and services for both do-it-yourselfers and for those who just want to hire someone to create a video legacy for them. With each passing day, I meet more and more people who share my passion about saving family history on video. That&#8217;s why I created this blog. It&#8217;s a place where we can all meet and share our ideas, observations and passions for family legacy videos.<\/p>\n<p>I invite you to spend some time on the Family Legacy Video site. In addition to learning about Family Legacy Video&#8217;s products and services, you can sign up for a free monthly e-newsletter, get a valuable free article and view sample video clips.
