Chiachatter Vlogs

These are 2 clips from when we first took the dogs over to Myrtle (our new-to-us 5th wheel).

Everybody has a rough day once in a while, even working dogs, right?

My poi boiz, Elliot and Maxwell, enjoying the packing material that Thrive Market uses for its breakable items.

We have a lot of turkeys around here but 14 regulars that hang out in the yard for larger parts of the day. Sometimes 10 of them come in a group - sometimes 4 come together - and sometimes all 14 come at once. Today the 10 were here, I was sitting inside watching them, and saw the toms start to gather so I grabbed my phone to record. Apparently they were miffed at the other 4 for being late to the party, and received them with a less than happy welcome. But all was well in the end! 👍🦃🦃🦃🦃

As I'm getting to know my new-to-me Tyros5-76 I will share the occasional video. It took a while, but I finally figured out how everything worked; now I just need to get used to reaching for settings and buttons as I play, they aren't where I think they should be yet, so when I'm a few measures away from a button-push I start to get a little scrambled which causes me to lose focus on my playing...and it takes a few more measures afterward to unscramble! But I'm learning, and by sharing these maybe other people who are learning new things - keyboard-related or not - will be emboldened and encouraged. This is a Dottie Rambo song called The Holy Hills of Heaven Call Me Home. (I love Dottie's songs, she was truly blessed with great talent!)

Wasn't able to lay everything out to show it today so I did the next best thing...

This is the battle that we saw taking place in our yard a few days ago. We've never seen a daddy long legs take on a cricket before, and had no idea they would hunt something so much larger then themselves! Though we started watching earlier in the battle it was so engrossing that I didn't think to grab my phone and record until this point, when the outcome was already pretty much decided. It was fascinating!

A quick video of my service dog, Maisie, telling me she wants to play. Really - they don't NEED to speak our language to communicate, do they!

Just a couple of minutes of the neighborhood turkeys this morning as they start their new day.

This is some clips and snaps of our day trip to Saginaw, with photos at the end as always.

Just a little talk we had this morning...

A quick play through on my Yamaha R-EW410; by William Waller, arr. by Cindy Berry (As always, this is NOT a "performance" and will not be perfect; I'm simply sharing some of my music with my friends.)

A compilation of wet dog videos - adorable!

Annie is my sister's 16-year-old deaf - and much-loved! - dachshund who gets a little confused now and again...as this video shows.

While we were out anyway for my doctor's appointment, which I discuss here, we stopped for lunch and then some shopping at one of our neighborhood Amish stores. This video is a "my face talkin'" vlog :).

Some clips and pics of our yard early this morning. Our visitors keep me entertained as I enjoy my coffee in the motorhome in whjch we live.

Babysitting, Costco haul, Chinese buffet lunch, Maisie

I made this for my friend who gave it to me for Christmas but I thought I'd share it with you too!

My front row seat to one of the first turkey rumbles that remind me that spring is on the way!

I wasn't satisfied with the first recording I did. Later that day I started messing with settings on the keyboard in an attempt to rectify the "mind of is own" issues, and YAY I figured it out! Posting this version for comparison.

As always, not a performance, just having fun playing and sharing with my friends. (Note that this keyboard sometimes has a mind of its own after several years of hard use, but it's fun to play anyhow.)

Played on my Yamaha PSR-S950

The Lord put this song on my heart today.
