5:57
live there forever and ever and ever and
6:01
we started filming
6:03
Paula's best dishes there and we woke up
6:07
one day and realized as we were walking
6:10
under lights and stepping over cameras
6:15
and bags the the house had become a
6:18
studio it was not our home anymore so we
6:21
went down the road and built another
6:22
house and so I have two different
6:27
