Chiachatter Vlogs

I had a doctor's appointment in Alma, MI in the morning. Rather than go directly home we decided to take a little detour to Midland, MI for some thrift store shopping, some time at my favorite pet store, and a Costco run. I also talk about what transpired with my cardiology appointment

Pete and I decided that this year we will have many small celebrations and good times together throughout the month of August as we build up to our actual anniversary on the 31st. This is one of those quiet, special days.

Sharing some of my photos from this week, all of which were taken through the (not very clean) window, while I have been recovering some sort of nasty cold or something. Happy to have so many visitors!

The last couple days of February we, apparently, were under a winter storm warning. But we didn't know that, we were expecting a couple of inches of snow and that was it. So we found ourselves a dozen miles from home, having lunch at our favorite restaurant, when it hit. This video shares the wonders of the beautiful snowfall.

The playing of a couple of Advent songs on my Yamaha Tyros 5-76. As always, this is to share with my friends, not a performance. But I hope you enjoy it anyway! “If you seek perfection, look elsewhere.” ~ Chiafucius

I'm not a singer, and I don't play one on TV. But I love this song so much, every single word speaks directly to my spirit. You might want to turn the volume down, there is some distortion, I don't know how to adjust the gain in a video, I'm sorry... As always, this is to share with my friends, not a performance.

My first restful day after getting out of the hospital...and the weather was PERFECT!

This could also be carnivore without the horseradish. Simple technique for 2-ingredient bread replacement makes a crispy crust for any type of hot open-faced sandwich! This one is chicken, canadian bacon, horseradish, and cheese. Less than 10 minutes start-to-finish!

Our day with family

A trip to Greenville (MI) and Maisie came along too!

This includes hauls from Goodwill in Saginaw, MI (Oct 7, 2022) and from St. Vincent dePaul in West Branch, MI (Oct 10, 2022)

I got a few things for my carnivore(ish) diet and Pete got some things for his low sugar pescatarian(ish) diet. We didn't need to do a large shop today.

We were predicted to have a big snow storm on these 2 days, so I recorded a vlog in which I could include it. There are also lots of wildlife herein.

Today I dragged out one of my older music books, one that I had bought a number of years ago but never really went through or played. So I turned on the camera as I was looking through it and playing a few songs in it. Don't know why I hadn't cracked it open before, there's some good stuff in there! Anyway, I did the same as last week, just played and let the camera roll, then cut out all the junk to leave a few songs I wanted to share.

Looking through my raised beds garden with my 4YO granddaughter Luna.

Babysitting, Costco haul, Chinese buffet lunch, Maisie

FINALLY! Some video of the Amish store nearby that we shop at all the time!

Mostly a DITL video

Just decided to record and share the time I spent with my poicephalus parrots, red-bellied parrot Maxwell and Meyer's parrot Elliot (aka my poi boiz), that evening.

Watching the rain, listening to the bickering blue jays, talking about the day with Pete

How we spent our 20th wedding anniversary

I actually have loads of video and photos, but these are the highlights from Casey's VERY special day!

Most of my day, and most of my driving, centered around the weather. I've been so excited we finally got some beautiful snow! Great day for a drive to Saginaw! (There will also be some photos from the day - and the snow! - posted on my site.)
