- How?
This way... and here.
Think you can do it?
All right'
Hey, look at you go! And what
do you think you're doing?
Well, I can't let the
boys have all the fun Dad.
You haven't been on site in 10 years.
Feels good to be back.
You sure you're up for this?
I didn't spend my entire
life behind a desk.
You know, my Grandpa had me on his crew
when I was a little
bit older than Charlene.
I could sink a nail faster and
cleaner than any of his men.
Prove it.
Hey, I thought I heard
the human nail gun.
That's my girl. After all these years
you still haven't lost your touch.
I haven't been this tired in...
since as long as I can remember.
Yeah me either. Feels good though,
can't figure out why, but it does.
There's something about this place.
My great grandparents used to say that
uh, they didn't build Christmas Lodge
to have a place to live,
they built it to live.
very, very happy to know
that the people who share a past
are here to look after
her in her old age.
That's sweet.
By the time we're through,
she'll look 50 years younger.
I wish we could do the same for Grandpa.
We all do. He's climbing the ladder
we'll all climb one day.
He's just happy knowing
we're all together and giving
an important part of history
a new lease on life?
Has your family always been this close?
Well, we've wandered
some here and there,
but we've always found
time to meet in the kitchen.
Well, I just hope that when
we're through, I can restore
some of that sense of home.
Speaking of kitchens, I
think I have one to clean up.
Here, let me help you out.
Mary, I was uh...
What Jack?
Wow, I am not very good at this.
What is it?
Um... We spent a lot of time together
over the last few months and uh, I guess
you could say I've
taken a liking to you.
I hope that doesn't
make you uncomfortable.
No! I mean of course not, I'm honored.
Well uh, I was wondering
if maybe we could be more than friends.
If maybe we could go out together sometime.
Oh, Jack I don't know.
I really don't have a great
track record with men and it...
it wouldn't just be us, it
would be us and Charlene,
and I don't want her to get hurt
if it didn't work out.
You were the one that said
anything's possible, right?
I did.
That means something
good is possible too.
I just haven't noticed
- have you?
- No... no.
Then take a chance on
me, Mary. Let's just start
dancing, a movie...
when they're going out as friends.
And if it doesn't work out,
Charlene doesn't have to know
that we were courting
friends. What do you think?
Did I misread you? Is
it that hard to decide?
No, no Jack... my
reluctance has absolutely
nothing to do with you whatsoever,
it's just... there's so much at stake,
I really um, I don't wanna mess it up.
Okay. So the answer's no.
No.
No it's a yes. I am willing
to take that chance with you
because I feel the same way
and I'm so tired of fighting it.
Wow, you guys are really
moving right along!
Have to, the weather's not going
to stay like this much longer.
When winter hits up here, it hits hard.
Won't be able to see
the roof or the walls
under 15 feet of snow.
Bye you guys!
Bye!
I feel so bad leaving you. You know
that I wouldn't, I would stay and help
if I wasn't in the final
days of the Wharf project.
Your hands are itchin' to
pick up a hammer aren't they?
That's my girl.
Check in on your mother
and your grandfather for me,
tell them I'll get down for a couple
of days when we get the place sealed up.
I will, thanks Daddy. I love you.
Mary! Wait up a sec?
Yeah.
I better get back to work.
Hey.
Listen uh, I was just wondering, and I
know this is short notice and all but uh,
I was wondering if it would be possible for
your family to come and stay here this Christmas.
Really? Of course. I've
just, I've always hoped
to get my family back out
here for one more Christmas,
especially my grandpa.
Great.
Maybe we should keep
this between us for now
because there's so much work to be done
and I don't want to disappoint
them if the lodge isn't ready.
I understand.
But, thank you.
Drive safe.
I'll talk to you soon.
I was right. Wasn't I?
While you were gone,
I met with the board
and I explained the situation
to them, and they agreed
to go to our donors to
to the rural areas.
We already have the funding
for a project or two.
Oh!
So, would you be interested in
opening a branch office out there
to coordinate our efforts?
Yes?
- Yo, do you have a minute?
- Yeah.
What's up?
Bob just asked me to open
an office in the mountains.
He what?
Yeah, he wants to help small
towns save historic buildings.
Wow. Four hours, that's along commute.
No, no I mean, I wouldn't be
driving there, I would move there.
Hmm, let me guess... to Christmas Lodge?
All right Mary, fess up.
It's no coincidence that you
broke up with one perfect man
to now agree to work
- Have you been seeing Jack Rand?
- Is it that obvious?
I knew it! You've been so happy lately.
Well maybe you'll get
that ring after all.
Okay, let's not be ridiculous.
I have work to do.
Oh my gosh, that's
fantastic. Wait a second.
Yeah?
You're leaving the city
to go work in the country,
who's taking your position here?
Uh, you!
No, no, no, no. This is one
Christmas gift I don't want.
You know, I said that 10 years
ago and look where it got me.
Yeah, you dropped it on me.
Well, for one thing I
think that you can do it,
and for another thing you have
been doing it, and quite well.
So... Merry Christmas.
God...
Hang on a sec.
Okay. So the answer's no.
Mom!
Yeah.
What?
Uh, no... I'll... I'll meet you there.
I have to go to the hospital,
my grandfather just had a stroke.
Mom, hey. How is he? Hi Daddy.
They're still evaluating him.
- Can we see him?
- Not yet honey.
Hey you guys. Is uh, is
Kathy in there with him?
Yeah, and a group of doctors.
Listen, he's in good hands.
So I guess this means that he's going
to have to go to a home now right?
Your mother and Cathy
did the best they could.
Of course. Mom, I know that you
and Cathy did everything you could.
Hey, hi. How is he?
Stable and resting.
Will they need to operate?
No, it was a fairly mild stroke.
lost some motor skills.
Can we see him?
The doctors need to
conduct additional tests,
when they're done you can see him.
Thanks Kathy, thanks for everything.
- I love that photo.
- I do too.
Yes. You know Mom, I
had a dream that Grandpa
and I would walk
together in the mountains,
and he would point out every leaf,
every bird, every tree, every ridge
and not just tell me what it
was, but what it meant to him.
He breathed so much
life into this world,
I try to get it back on my own
but it's just... it's not the same.
