Only The Sound Of His Trumpet on Tyros5-76
I have always loved this song, and what it means!

Vlog #2151 - Day In The Life - May 19, 2023
Pete and I were out and about today, so I decided to take some video. I haven't made a vlog in quite a while! We spent our time in a couple of the small towns that aren't too far from us (though we are "far" from any town!) and I share where we went and what we did.

Birthday Fun & Pig Roast
My birthday was on May 5th. This video shows what my husband and I did on that actual date (hint: I got to go and do whatever I wanted!), and then the pig roast we hosted for our much-loved family and friends the next day! What a GREAT weekend!
(There are also photos, they are on my website at chia.owly.net/?p=22812 if you are interested in seeing those as well!)

Fun With Poicephalus
Just some sweet times with my "PoiBoiz", Maxwell (red-bellied parrot) and Elliot (Meyer's parrot) this morning. I've had them for well over 20 years and they are my sweetest, bestest, smartest, funniest boiz!

Vlog #2149 April 25, 2023 - FUN DAY Pt I (Video)
This was a great day! I spent most of the day out in the Tent Shed doing laundry in my little portable washer (that makes laundry fun!). Our helpers, meanwhile, were here working and our landlord (we lease this huge lot) came to pick up the yard waste that our helpers had cleaned up last week. So they loaded his truck, and while they were working - they took out 3 truckloads! - FedEx showed up with our new "outdoor living space"!!! So, in-between all of the other things that our fantastic helpers were doing, they also set THAT up! Meanwhile I was able to get a couple of short walks in around the yard with my service dog...there was a lot going on, a TON of stuff got accomplished, the tent is AMAZING and WAY better than we expected, before they left our helpers did the last of the yard cleanup, the bits and bobs that were laying around here and there, and it looks FANTASTIC out there!! The dogs were totally exhausted by the time we came in but it was a fun day with wonderful people, so much improvement outside as we began setting up for another season of outdoor living and fun...(see also the slideshow of the day!)

Oh, How I Love Jesus
Our grandson was with us from birth through preschool and we did a lot of Bible reading/memorization, and a LOT of music! This was his favorite song during his early years, and I can't hear it or play it without thinking of him and remembering those years, with his sweet little voice singing along! By the time he and his mom moved to another town (when he was 4) he had memorized 24 Bible passages and numerous songs...those were very special days in our lives, and hoping in his as well! This is played on my Yamaha Tyros5-76.

Keto Kwikkie - Chicken Crust Pizza
A description of how I made this AMAZING crust! I'm a pizza crust snob and haven't loved any of the low carb crusts I've tried over the last 19 years...but THIS, excellent! Especially reheated the next day in the convection oven, it got SUPER crispy!

My PoiBoiz After The Changes
As you've already seen we had our living room rearranged a couple of days ago. Here are my "poi boiz" - meyer's parrot Elliot and red-bellied parrot Maxwell (both poicephalus parrots) looking around when I let them out the next morning.

April 12, 2023 - My First Laundry Of The Season!
I just love using my little portable washing machine, and have posted videos about it in the past...but just had to share how excited I was to get it all set up again this year, and enjoy the fresh air while I worked! This thing washes like a champ, better than the laundromat, and spins the clothes almost completely dry - they were fully dry after only 2 hours on the line. Thanks for sharing in my excitement!

All Things Nuwa - Changes!
One of our helpers rearranged the furniture in our living area for us yesterday and we love it! We have lived in RVs for nearly 8 years now, this is our first 5th wheel after 2 motorhomes and I LOVE that the furniture isn't built in and we have options! When living in sticks'n'bricks most of my life I would rearrange the furniture several times a year, and I'm thrilled to be able to do that again!

Starting My First Garden!
One of our helpers, whose passion is gardening, is helping me do a garden this year. I will be documenting it on my website, including these videos, of which this is the first. I am starting out at a point of knowing NOTHING. I'm glad E is a patient teacher!

Pete's River Walk - April 2, 2023
I have been anxious to see the river, so Pete took his camera and walked around our yard at the top of the "hill" (more like a dropoff in most places) and then down at river level. He got 3GB of video which I edited and optimized and made into this video.
Where we live is a large lot surrounded by woods, with these heavily treed "hills" along 2 sides that lead to the river about 20-25' below, and what I call the lower lot - a large open grassy yard on the bank. Must of this lot is currently underwater, part of it appears as an island. The river is typically about 30' across on average but right now it is a lot wider and deeper.
The Pete went to a nearby road to take some video of the same river as it runs under that road's bridge; he got good footage from both sides.

Vlog #2044½ - March 1, 2023
Well golly, I found a video from several weeks ago that I didn't know I had, so I just did a quick optimize and am uploading it before the month is out. Don't know how THAT happened!

Monday Music - March 27, 2028
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.

Playing Around On My Tyros5-76 (Hymns)
The other day I found a music book that I forgot I had. I hadn't seen it in years! It's just simple basic hymns - up a notch from the fakebooks I typically like to play from but still pretty basic. So as I was going through the book to refresh my memory of the songs in it I decided to turn on my phone and record some of it, which I then chopped up into this video. I also used that opportunity to try some of my new registrations; I'm rebuilding my registration library (close to 1000 registrations) from scratch since the Tyros 5 is so different from the PSR-S950 on which I built them. Anyway, for what it's worth, here are some little snippets of my afternoon.
