    My grandpa operated heavy machinery for a living for years, it's impressive that Jason can operate his tractor so well. What a lovely space. I bet it felt really good to be doing a project with Jason.

    Wow! Jason you did a phenomenal job creating and laying down that beautiful rock puzzle flooring for the fire pit. Everyone will love it. Leslie your plants look so nice and I know in part 2 you'll really get to decorate this area which will be so lovely. We all love seeing Jason doing what he loves and working on his tractor 🚜.
    Thanks for including us in a sneak peek reveal. See you all in part 2. Oh and a hugh acknowledgement to your friend who did the brick work. Awesome.😊🎉

  • @susanjohnson3973
    @susanjohnson3973 Před měsícem +5

    Love your bangs/fringe, darling look! Heartwarming to see Jason on the tractor; always reminds me so much of my own hubby, always loving to do the physical work, even now at seventy one!! How great that you had help with such a big project! We have left dear friends behind, once we made our move to be near our kids, so no helping hands near us! Then again it's always been that way, since Hubs is the one who always helps others, makes a project happen!! I'm ever grateful that he still can!!!
    Love all the changes,upgrades you're accomplishing! Looking forward to next week!
    💖💖💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗🌹❤🌹

    Leslie I just want to say what a wonderful woman you are! You’re an inspiration in so many ways! I have seen so many miracles from Jesus in the last couple of years it blows me away I will continue to pray for you and Jason cause I want you both to have your miracle of more time, more happy memories, and better health, you both deserve it! God bless you both always. Always love your videos thanks for sharing

    Leslie, if one didn't know that Jason has memory problems, you would think he is a regular guy - which he is. You two work so well together and create such a beautiful home and yard. You two are a great team and are making a good life with what you have.

  • @jenniesmith6999
    @jenniesmith6999 Před měsícem

    Oh Leslie, your videos (both channels) are beautiful reminders to be grateful and celebrate whatever health we have and for the loved ones in our lives. Also that we may not know what challenges and pain others may be facing so practicing kindness always is what God calls us to do. Bless you and Jason. And enjoy that beautiful back yard, wow!

  • @juliel252
    @juliel252 Před měsícem

    Oh my dear...just watched the video on your other channel. Just wanted to tell you that you are such a blessing and wonderful woman! In case nobody told you lately, you are doing great and your hubby couldn't have a better caregiver than you. And it is just so hard. My Dad passed away a year ago at 82 and had dementia a few years before. My mom had to deal with a lot. One day she had a doctor appt, for him and the doctor was running late and they were sitting in the waiting room and after 10-15 minutes, he threw the car keys on the floor and said "I'm done waiting! I'm going home!" Another time she noticed he was acting kind of odd, his balance was a little off. So the next day, she heard him wake up and saw a whiskey bottle sticking out of his pillow. They are not big dirnkers - just had an occasional cocktail before bed. The bottle was empty. She said "Daniel, have you been drinking this after you go to bed?" He said "yes." She's like just a little bit? He said "No." She said "a lot?" He shook his head yes 🤣 Needless to say, no more alcohol was left in the house. And then came the day where she had to take his truck keys away which she had been avoiding as she knew it would be so hard for him not to drive. It was just no longer safe. She told him and he wouldn't talk to her the rest of the day. After he died, she was going through his things and there was a shirt hanging on a hook in his bedroom. In the pocket of this flannel shirt was his truck keys - I guess he was hiding them in case he decided to break her rules 😢 So many moments dealing with this disease, sometimes funny, oftentimes heartbreaking. They say God gives the biggest battles to his strongest soldiers. Sometimes I wonder. But he must thing you are a very strong woman. God bless you and your family ❤

    @RobertaMoore-jp4yx Před měsícem +2

    Leslie, I am so happy you have projects on your own as much as you do with Jason. I think of you both so often and how brave you both are. As a nurse I get how you can pull yourself up on your boot straps. I am so glad for your recent news
    It really concerns me the Number of young people and those in military and they give to their bodies and brains. This backyard project is so great. You will have so much to fill you on the bad days. Much love to your whole family. One nurse to another remember we can always support each other. Any time you need some support just reach out. All of us are here.

    We have some outdoor projects in the planning now the sub tropical summer is gone. I know the person with a progressive neurological disease in our home is looking forward to getting some hard work done. He misses his work but loves to potter around outside so we do our best to keep things interesting..
    I'm so happy to see Jason in a happy place and knowing the exhaustion afterwards will be worth it.

    Oh, Leslie, it's shaping up so nicely, and the fire pit area looks just beautiful! Also made me want to cry, because I remember when you added Jason's sunroom, and when he was doing all that work in the backyard. Can't wait for the next installment. Praying for you both.

Thank you for inviting us into your home/backyard/front yard etc and for doing outstanding videos! God has richly blessed you in soooo many ways! I am sure that with Jason’s health situation it can be very difficult for you at times. Yet, you still manage to look on the bright side of things and even go out of your way to share your heart with us. Amazing! I pray God will continue to bless you abundantly!! Hugs from another person living in Kansas!❤

    My elderly mom has cardiovascular dementia and it is scary watching her go up and down on her chairlift to the basement, but it is allowing her to have access to the family room down there, and it gives her some sort of independence. It is so good to see Jason with some sort of independence even though it must be quite scary to you and your friend. God Bless all of you.
