Thank you We sneak in determination perseverance and community allah

00:07

shmoop well moving was going to be hard not the

00:10

actual moving part because the movers were handling that nasty

00:13

business but emotionally the whole picking up and starting over

00:16

part was what worried the finnegans It was the first

00:19

time they've ever left their own county let alone their

00:22

own state And yet here they were in michigan and

00:26

there was some sort of weird cold white substance falling

00:29

from the sky What is that Well from the moment

00:32

they moved in the finnegans had trouble communicating with their

00:34

neighbors as they walked down the sidewalk They'd see people

00:37

in their homes glaring at them through windows than dropping

00:40

the curtain Well if they tried knocking on a door

00:42

it would be opened on ly momentarily before being suddenly

00:46

slammed in their faces What was up with the people

00:49

in this town They're an ax murderer on the loose

00:52

or something over the finnegans We're not about to stop

00:55

being neighborly even if they were being made to feel

00:57

unwelcome So marjorie finnigan baked it does an apple pies

01:01

and brought him around the neighborhood knows someone opened their

01:04

door she'd slided inside quickly before that door slams shut

01:08

if she knocked on the door of someone who refused

01:10

even answer it well she'd leave the pie on their

01:12

front porch with a little love note The finnigan still

01:15

weren't getting a warm reception but there were a lot

01:17

of empty pipe tens showing off in the neighborhood garbage

01:19

gains Maxwell finnigan decided to take a stab at cutting

01:23

attention himself He put together a little garage sale and

01:26

posted coupons on all his neighbour's door's entitling them toe

01:29

half off the mark price of any item as if

01:32

about fifty for an oak desk wasn't already a steal

01:35

The drive's still resembled something of a ghost town but

01:37

well there were a few takers despite the neighbors reluctance

01:40

to accept them the finnegans never wavered They'd rent inflatable

01:44

bouncy house and post signs saying that all the neighborhood

01:46

kids were welcome or leave personalized christmas cards and everyone's

01:50

mailboxes or really anything to show that they were not

01:52

going to give up until people caved and let them

01:55

into their lives And believe it or not while eventually

01:58

the finnegans war everyone down okay so the residents of

02:01

bony acres were not the warmest most gracious people on

02:04

earth But because of their persistence and perseverance the finnegans

02:07

convinced the entire subdivision of loners that the finnegans were

02:11

worth getting to know And now whenever the family has

02:13

a garage sale or whenever they rent a bouncy houses

02:16

there are more doors open and closed Well the finnegans

02:18

air thrilled to have a close circle of nearby friend

02:21

They're all really great for helping watch out for ax 00:02:24.07 --> [endTime] murders and whatnot
