I'm loving your porch and a swing will just set it off😊. It's crazy how one little item can spark a memory that overwhelms you with emotions. I'm happy you guys have come so far since the fire and can't wait to see more projects. I know you appreciate your followers but I dont think you realize how much we appreciate you and Levi❤.
You are almost done...it looks so good! Firefighters are so awesome, when I had a small fire, they took all my clothes out of my closet and put them in the living room, stood my bed up and covered it so it didn't get wet. It is amazing what they each do during all that craziness. Have a great day ❤🍯
You are doing a fantastic job on the porch. I know what you mean about not recalling details during you house fire. We were married 18 months and were living in a trailer when we went to church on Sunday. When we came home, we saw the lights from the firetrucks, and we lost almost everything. On that day it was my due date for our first child. Praise God she wasn't born for 2 more weeks. But I don't recall much of that night. That was 48 years ago. We still have our "Little Girl." She was born mentally disable but she is happy as can be and LOVES Jesus.
You go into shock at the time and your mind can’t remember a lot after the fact Kim. So sorry you had to go through that fire it’s a traumatic experience. Your back porch is all coming together. It’s looking really nice.❤ thank you for sharing your life with us Kim it’s always wonderful to see what you’re doing. You are so talented.❤ I’ve been watching Lester channel since the very beginning six years and I’ve seen you and watched you since you started and on Lesters page. I really wanna go see that movie also, I loved Bob Marley in the day.
You had me crying with you .... Ive never dealt with a fire before, how scary it must have been. And then to have Levi to make sure he was safe. You are a great mom to him. He is so lucky to have you!!
Good morning Kim and Levi. Kim you're right the mind blocks out traumatic events to protect you from them. It was extremely nice of the firemen to take out things that wasn't burnt. They see so many fires that they know that loosing a home is traumatic and they were probably so happy that Levi and you were safe. A good friend of mine was a volunteer firefighter and we visited about it just a few weeks ago. He said the hardest part of the job was seeing people loose their lives or a family member to the fire. He said often he would come home from a house fire and just hug his children because he felt lucky to have them. I bet it was scary for you to think that Levi walked throughout the house to your room in the smoke. Our grandson has Asperger's (autism) his brain doesn't shut down like ours so he can go to sleep. We have to give him melatonin to help him sleep or he will stay up for days on end. We had a pediatrician try to tell us that a prescription is the only way we would get him to sleep. I'm so glad that his therapist told us that we should try melatonin first before giving him a sleeping pill. Sometimes we try to see if he can go without the melatonin but it never works not giving it to him. The porch is coming along so wonderfully. I can't wait to see it when you have finished it. Much Love from our family to your family 💞
Hi Kim and Levi my brother is the same as Levi except Michael is none verbal and he never shut down at night love listening to your memories you have done an awesome job on your porch wish I was as talented as you and I’m only a month older then stay blessed and sending love to you both
Hello Kim, oh no, I never want to be late for a theater movie, plus need time to get my free popcorn and vitamin water. Tickts cost too much to miss parts. If someone in the group is running late, they are on their own to get there. Leave their ticket at the main desk. Your patio is looking so good. Sending my love to you and Levi ❤.
I know nothing about the movie your talking about, but I'm not a movie watcher. This is all looking awesome, your a very talented Kim. You talking about your past makes me realize you don't let things get you down. I admire the woman you are
Norma here. Your patio is coming along nicely. Leave it up to a baby goat to make a mess, but you still love them no matter what. She’s bringing you joy even when naughty. lol Yes, our minds will block out some trauma. I’m sure your dad made some decisions for you that night that you couldn’t at that time. I love how you didn’t just toss everything, but found ways to reuse salvageable pieces in other places. You and Levi were safe and that’s all that matters. Firemen are so kind and considerate. They are true heroes.
Hi Kim, thank you for sharing the story about your house fire. I’m sure it was extremely traumatic for you. Thank God you were both ok. God bless you and Levi. From Canadice NY ❤
So true Kim God has a way of protecting us I sat for 8 days and watched our 30 yr marriage go away in a blink of an eye because of a simple surgery gone wrong and the details of the days that followed still aren't all there I have people who have filled in some of the blanks but still too painful to go there because I couldn't go forward thinking about the nightmare. Kim your tears I could relate to all your hopes and dreams up in smoke Hugs Sweetie from Sandy in Iowa 💖🙏 We got this even if somedays we don't 🤫🥰
Hi there Kim and Levi. Glad you got to see the Bob Marley film sorry you were late. But glad it didn’t spoil it to much. Outside area is coming together nicely. Can’t wait to see it all finished. Fire is scary and spreads so quick sorry you lost your home and treasures but glad you both managed to get out freely and the firemen did all they could for you. Thank you for sharing can’t be easy to look back at a difficult time. Take care God Bless. 🙏💕
You are so right about God blocking out things that are so traumatizing. I was living in a mobile home. I woke up to a crackling noise. When I opened up the bedroom door the entire hall was on fire. If you know about single wides there is one back door about middle ways. To this day I don't remember how I got out without getting burned or hurt. I still have to sleep with my door open now. I know you're not suppose to, but I can't sleep with the door closed. So glad Levi came to you. Same when my husband passed. I don't remember most of that day or the funeral.
Hi Kim, that story of the fire is scary. You were in shock so not surprising that you cannot remember every detail of that night. God protected you and Levi. Thank you for sharing.
Great memories. I'm glad you all got out ok. The firefighters did a great job saving some of your stuff. I love the back porch. Can't wait to see it finished. 😍
Hi Kim! Lady I get tired just watching all that you do!! But your back porch area is going to be so pretty & nice once you get it done.❤ Love & Blessings to you all ❤❤
Your doing such a good job , looking good and summer time it will be so neat to just sit and look at your hard work and admire your yard …. I know I would lol ♥️♥️♥️Have a Beautiful Blessed Day….♥️
Love your back porch looks so nice an will be a nice place to sit this year before it gets super hot. God does protect us as we go thru things like that or death of loved ones .we call it shock or some do but I think his love blots out thing to protect us.
Good Morning Kim, Levi, Katee and all the babies🤗. The porch is looking great! I wish I had your talent and energy, you do such beautiful work all done with love♥️. Love you all♥️
That's so scary about the fire. God looking out for you and Levi. The porch is progressing nicely. That's neat about the swing. Sounds like the fireman handled things in such a thoughtful manner❤ love the pic at the end of the video!
I lost everything in a house fire. I also experienced not remembering things that day too. Our body knows when to kick in and protect us when things are just too overwhelming I guess. Hearing your story brought back some of those feelings. For years something would trigger a memory of something I lost. Unfortunately the firemen that tended my fire were not as well trained, there was nothing to save. Funny how your parents had a fire too! So did mine. I hope you see this. I enjoy your videos.
Sister Kim, you are a busy lady. I wonder if I could find 1/3 of your energy, somewhere during my days. To hear about the fire is so sad, but proves God was watching over Levi and You. PTL 💞🙏🏻
You have been through so much and it just being you and Levi I have to say you are one very strong woman you should be very proud of yourself your home and animals and very proud of how Levi turned out. Love you all Xx
Hay oh my goodness Kim I'm so sorry that you and Levi went threw that horrific fire so glad you two were safe the picture you have of the house I just love it such a Beautiful cottage God bless you Kim and Levi your house is a lovely house too ❤
Traumatic events definitely leave their mark in your memory. Fire terrifies me, even tho I’ve not experienced it personally. I’ve seen enough of others events. Your back deck area is lookin fantastic! Can’t wait to see it all together this Summer!
How horrifying for you and Levi. I have had so much trauma in my life as well. I lost almost everything while i was dying and my ex paid to have my belongings taken away because I “was watching tv doing nothing”. All inherited items, everything i worked for, many sentimental pieces. All my hard mental work trying to make my marriage work, all my physical hard work, all my hopes and dreams dead. At 63, alone with that trauma. I was once accidentally set on fire. Burnt enough to never want to go that way. You are indeed blessed by God to go on living and giving. I love you and Levi for helping me get through my biggest trauma.
Hi Kim, It's really coming together. When you lose time It's from some sort of trauma, yours the fire. When you look back you can see how God helped you through it. It can cause PTSD as well, unfortunately. I'm always amazed how you manage to be around fire when you have had that kind of experience. A strong woman that's for sure. ❤&🙏
Morning kim and Levi!!🌄☕️God bless you both kim. You know we all go thru things and think about the hardship and I too can't remember certain things and I think im losing my mind...You kim, sweetie have went thru hard times and God had given you his strength and guidance that horrible night as I know that you know that but God works in mysterious ways and all of those firemen and people was there that night to help was truly Gods village to help. He takes bad memories away and replace them with good ones I truly believe that but just my thoughts but babie girl, you are such a strong woman and a grrrrreat Momma and a hard worker...Your porch looks good and when you're done as I have said many times anything you put your heart and soul into it, it will be gorgeous at the finish!!! God bless you and Levi always!! Much love❤❤
Well hey there Sister Kim! Hope you and Levi are well. ❤ Catching up with Kim literally since our house has been getting over strep for 3, then an ear infection after for my youngest. Happy belated Valentines to y’all!
Kim, you are right. God does help Heal our mind and we learn to live with those traumatic scars. My bio father was a horrible abusive drunk who "tried things". I had to learn to forget that pain to move forward and grow up. I did however, marry a wonderful man who I knew would never abuse our children. He taugh me, step by step, how a real man treats a woman and children. I lost my husband to cancer, that is one pain I will never get over or forget though. Thanks for sharing with us.
I'm sorry about losing your husband Lynn. And I am sorry for what your father did to you. I am so happy that you had a good husband. God turned things around for you.
Lots of work to do followed by lots of painting. My hubby is the same as Levi...if you don't put them in his hand and WATCH him take them...he won't take them!!! So frustrating 😡
Gurl... you're so talented. I wish I lived next door to you. We could have so much fun giving Pawpaw a hard time. Lol What are you putting in your garden this year? Are you starting seeds??
Yes that is true. I tried to find black wire but the size I needed was very expensive. I thought about painting it but I worry it will flake off and look bad
I'm loving your porch and a swing will just set it off😊.
It's crazy how one little item can spark a memory that overwhelms you with emotions. I'm happy you guys have come so far since the fire and can't wait to see more projects.

I had a thought before I have even seen this video that memory lane is both a blessing and a curse. Truly.
Kim your back porch looks great!! I know those memories of the fire are heartbreaking to you. I’m just glad you both got out in time.❤️🙏❤️
Hi Kim, that story of the fire is scary. You were in shock so not surprising that you cannot remember every detail of that night. God protected you and Levi. Thank you for sharing.

Good Sunday morning 2/25 Kim and Levi ☕️☕️🤗🤗
Yeah Kim, God provides us with a mechanism to not remember those tragic happenings.
Kim, you are right. God does help Heal our mind and we learn to live with those traumatic scars. My bio father was a horrible abusive drunk who "tried things". I had to learn to forget that pain to move forward and grow up. I did however, marry a wonderful man who I knew would never abuse our children. He taugh me, step by step, how a real man treats a woman and children. I lost my husband to cancer, that is one pain I will never get over or forget though. Thanks for sharing with us.
I'm sorry about losing your husband Lynn. And I am sorry for what your father did to you. I am so happy that you had a good husband. God turned things around for you.
Thank you. We,all have some type of scar that stays with us. Blessings to you.
Good morning Kim, Levi, Katie love watching your videos like always😊
I just went yesterday great movie!
Lots of work to do followed by lots of painting. My hubby is the same as Levi...if you don't put them in his hand and WATCH him take them...he won't take them!!! So frustrating 😡
Good morning Kim and Levi
Gurl... you're so talented. I wish I lived next door to you. We could have so much fun giving Pawpaw a hard time. Lol
What are you putting in your garden this year? Are you starting seeds??
Hey Kim I seen on the web that if u paint your wrie black it's almost you can't see it.Look up painting wire black to see. Ok. Looking very nice. 😊
Yes that is true. I tried to find black wire but the size I needed was very expensive. I thought about painting it but I worry it will flake off and look bad
It is looking great! Will the cats be able to get thru the latice?
Wow…. You guys are so lucky to be alive🙏🙏🙏
Hey Kim and Levi ❤
You have come a long way since the fire.
🌻❤️👍🏻
