    My "thank you" video slideshow

    You might remember last summer I took some photos of people at the 4th of July parade- I burned some discs and sent them to my soldiers.  Well, I decided to post it on YouTube for Veterans Day.  I hope you enjoy.

     I have a lot to celebrate this year, beyond the pride and gratitude I have toward ALL our wonderful men and women of the armed services... my very bestest favorite soldier is coming home this week, and the thought of his whole family being together again on Veterans Day makes my heart so full of joy.  I have prayed so long and am so thankful.

    Really Special, Sarah.  I'd love to know how to do that.  Think I'll ask my friend (an ubergeek) if he can help me create something similar next summer.  Although, in the meantime I'll pray they are all home by next summer.

    Mary- I used Windows Movie Maker which was a standard program that came with our Gateway computer... maybe you have it?

     I figured out how to do it myself, and I'm no whiz- so I bet you can learn too.  The one part that tripped me up for a while was learning how to modify the length of time each picture came up.  I mean- I could have had it run just as a slideshow that flipped pictures at regular intervals- but to get my photographs to land at the right time of the song (or to get three dog pictures in during the "rover" verse) I needed to tweak those times.

     it took me a long time when I did it- but I bet it would go quicker now that I sorta know what I'm doing.
