  Sorry I'm late. I tried my best to get this video to post yesterday for YouTube Thursday but it wasn't meant to be. First, there was no internet at the office for almost the entire day. So, I tried to post it directly from my phone to YouTube. That didn't work. Then I tried sending it directly from the  iMovie app on my phone to my email -- but the file was too large. So, I went home and got my MiFi... drove back to the office, hooked up my phone to the PC and downloaded the movie to my computer.  I tried to upload to YouTube over MiFi and THAT didn't work. Okay fine. I'll wait for Windstream to come back on. Around 4 o'clock it finally came back on. It STILL wouldn't load. Grrrr....  All I can say is -- the person that was meant to see it evidently wasn't going to be online yesterda... 11/07/2014
