    When Luke was talking to his great-grandmother, I started crying and getting angel bumps. Can you imagine talking to your ancestors?!! What a blessing. You all really go beyond measure to share your heart, your love of the land, and to make everything around you joyful. 💗🫠

    I can imagine how Luke must have felt talking to his great-grandmother. My friend put some of my family photos through a programme to animate them. He surprised me with them. I started crying when I saw my late mum's. It was as if she had come to life.

  • @cathyriley5735
    @cathyriley5735 Před 22 dny +2

    I was skeptical of the use of AI at first, but the volume of letters makes this very believable. It really brings her alive. You have a gem here that will truly help support Mapperton and will not be something that others would be able to copy😢 easily. The volume of her letters makes this possible and others may not have a volume of information that is as representative as what you have. Very cool!

Luke to have a conversation with your great grandmother gave me goose bumps and tears to my eyes that I can barely write this. It's creepy, crazy, groundbreaking and absolutely amazingly wonderful.

    Oh Julie , you have to use the pole to pull up the screen and then put the pole in the base. I'm 5 feet tall, you can do it. Be sure to put your foot on the base.
