CHANGES AFOOT: UPDATE 2 – Sept 19, 2023

Aaaaaaalrighty then. Picking up from where I left off in Update 1… The first thing I realized when I started setting up the MM (Monster Machine, I think…or Music Machine…or Master Machine…but I like the first one best) which is the Dell Optiplex 3040 that will run Windows or Linux, contain my digital sheet music …

Spent most of the day outside, it was such gorgeous weather! Got a lot done too! And watch THIS, in case you didn’t “catch” (hahaha) it the first time!

Some Interesting Internet Items

When we moved to this area the internet options were – ARE – limited to satellite or cellular. There isn’t even DSL – there aren’t even land line phone lines. Since we have woods all around us, and since it is expensive and offers limited bandwidth, satellite wasn’t an option for us. So cellular it …

VIDEO (and Photos) Good Times Outside Myrtle (no alt-texts)

Earlier today when it was nice outside Maisie and I spent some time outside, and went to a few spots on the property where I’d never been as well as the usual places. I took a lot of pictures. Then the rain came and I took some video outside too! So I got lots of …

VIDEO: Vlog #2153 – Weekend With The Grands!

Vids’n’pics from our weekend. Our 3 grandchildren, ages 14, 8, and 3, came to visit from Thursday evening until Sunday afternoon. We had a blast! These are just a few of the highlights! We’d never eaten at Noodles & Co. before so we decided to stop there on the way to the kids’ house. It …

Monday Montages – May 15, 2023 Edition

These are really fun to do! I can use photos – or whatever – from the previous week, maybe make it a regular thing…hmmm…or do I really want to give up Monday flexibility… I guess we’ll find out together in the future! Meanwhile below are 5 montages from the last week! (PLEASE NOTE that I …

VIDEO: Vlog #2149 – April 25, 2023: CHANGES and FANTASTIC DAY!

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 …

Today’s Wildlife – April 21, 2023

I took a TON of pictures out the windows today as the turkeys and squirrels and various other birds were living their best lives in our yard, then a few chickens wandered over and joined in the fun. I just went from window to window taking pictures, then put them together in this slideshow to …

VIDEO: 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 …

VIDEO: Our First Garden – April 4, 2023: Baby Steps

Our helpers (a young couple who come here once – or more, if needed – every week to help us with stuff we can no longer manage on our own) are great gardeners. In fact, gardening is E’s passion. And listening to her talk about it, her enthusiasm has been contagious. So she agreed to …
