YouTube And TikTok Goes The Clock
So much has been happening that I haven’t had the time to post. A lot of family dynamics good and bad. Busy and a reluctance to bore you lol!
Musically, I’ve been creating more content for my YouTube channel- Shorts have been fun to create as well. You’ll find a variety of content including my home life, cooking/ baking endeavors and my pet besties.

I also have a TikTok account where I post regularly. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZPRv4tKVy/
I have chosen to create content because, it’s fun! I love experimenting with special effects and music. Another artful and creative outlet that keeps my mind busy.
Please check out my channels! Leave me a message while you’re there! Hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday season ❤️.

The music is my cover rendition of, Great Gig In The Sky. Written by Pink Floyd. I added a few effects. My wind chimes and the birds in my yard!
Zoe’s Cake Was A Show Stopper- https://youtu.be/fbVeJQ_Ico8 – Here is the YouTube link to the video I posted of our Easter Feast. My daughter made a beautiful carrot cake worthy of oohs and ahhhs! Deliciously creamy and moist with a light whipped cream cheese frosting. Amazing ❤️!
My daughter Delcee made the green beans and Mac and cheese. I made ham, yams, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, banana bread, orange jello with mandarin oranges, deviled eggs and crescent rolls.
I love cooking for holiday get togethers. My kids always bring their homemade goodies as well.

Planting My ❤️ Garden
I put together a couple of videos using some cover tracks that I made. I’ve decided that putting my home videos and photos with my music is a better way of capturing the essence. Sometimes I tell a story within my videos. I call it audio/video scrapbooking. I’ve posted these videos on my YouTube channel as well as TikTok and my Music Facebook page.
I’m thinking if the general public is somewhat interested then my kids and grandkids will be one day. If not now, then maybe after I’ve left the planet? They are all the stars in my videos. I’ve really enjoyed putting videos together of my life and our get togethers! I know that my son in laws have given me so much sh*! Especially in my early years of putting myself out there on YouTube. I have been the joke of the decade! The razzing turned into a deeply wounding, soul crushing embarrassment for me. It hasn’t stopped me though from putting myself out there and dreaming. The humbling has been deeply embedded in my relationships with them.
I heard all about how people doing silly and ridiculous things on YouTube we’re making a ton of money. While of course this Gram of 8 was putting herself out there musically for free. My savant like oddity of no real interest. I can tell you this, I have so enjoyed the gift! Playing and feeling a spiritual connection has been absolutely amazing. Between me and my maker, it has been the most personal fulfilling experience of my life❤️.
Having recently found out that both of my parents were deeply rooted in musical theater, it all makes sense. The DNA explains my desire to perform music! We are all here to explore our talents and special gifts. I truly believe that DNA has a lot to do with our interests and individuality.
Anyway, here are a few new links to check out.

I hope you enjoy my videos. They are authentic and near and dear to me.
I also hope that you are all enjoying whatever makes your heart sing! Find that creative outlet that frees you and defines your spirit! That’s ultimately what we are here for since none of us get to leave the planet with monetary things. We take with us those things within our spirit that define our souls!

Happy 4th of July 2022 From Me To You
I just recently poured a ton of energy and elbow grease into getting my house ready to sell. If you have ever tried to live in a house you need to show, you know of my hard effort. Constant cleaning! I’ve lived in this house for 17 years. Although I clean all of the time, deep cleaning and some touch up painting was necessary I felt.
By the time we listed the house, the interest rates had gone up and the selling market here came to a stand still. We missed the great selling market by a few weeks! It was rather an experiment any way. Kind of like fishing to see what you can get. I got a very clean house with some small but appreciated repairs out of it. I worked very hard to get show worthy. We had 2 “Open Houses“, a total of 3 people came to both showings. So, decided now isn’t the time to sell.
I had to put my keyboard in the garage… I was so hoping for a larger house so that I could have a space to play my keyboard. I do love my house though. I’m not sad to be staying in this house. This, was my inheritance. I purchased it in 2005. It’s complicated now and I would lose half should I divorce… A terrible reason to be stuck in a marriage but, my plight.
I feel it to my core every day and have for years and years. Ask anyone who stays in a marriage made in hell and they will tell you layers upon layers created their situation. It’s never one thing, it’s layers of things that are overwhelming and it becomes easier to stay rather than facing the inevitable losses.
I suppose an element of losing an inheritance becomes a sense of letting your family and deceased relatives down. Prideful maybe? Or just realistic and practical? Ugh. Or a shared responsibility in giving someone the power to control your destiny… especially when they remind you on the daily what you’ll lose if you go. I should only hope that there is a special place for those who choose to attempt to control people in this manner.
However daunting I’ve found my life experience, it did result in personal creativity. I’ve written songs and poetry about my life and my circumstances. Cathartic accounting of my darkest and happiest days!
Something More is a song that I wrote about this very plight.
Escape a symphonic layered track that I composed…
Lost In The Game my original!
I’ll Dream Of You Tonight my original, romance novel in a song lol
I make the best of each day, so much more than my situation in my life is amazing! So many things to be grateful for and so much love to be had!

Creator Mode A Little Of This And That Soul Food
My good friends and I celebrated a gal who has been a true friend to me in good times and in bad. Her birthday was an awesome reason to get together! We had a very nice lunch. A woman who has been my friend for about 18 years, hosted our get together. I was asked to put together and bring a pasta salad. I haven’t made a large gathering dish for a while! This was the first get together we have had in two years. Covid has kept many from getting together to celebrate things. I am so glad that we did! It was great to see these good friends. We even made a craft together. An Easter Bunny decoration that will remind me every Easter, of my friends.
As anyone who cooks probably knows, a pasta salad is an easy recipe. Cutting everything in nice pieces takes the bulk of the time. I took some pics of my pasta salad.

The Things We Can’t Change
The weather has been amazing. I’m enjoying spending time out on the patio. In AZ we understand that our spring quickly turns into summer. We had a few days this past week that were already in the high 80’s. Now is the time to use the patio!
The pandemic has turned my home into a home office. It is now permanent, he won’t be going back to an office. That means, I spend my days keeping the house as quiet as possible. This has hurt my spirit more than you can know. The sadness and depression is looming about this. I’m not happy about the fact that I’m no longer able to play and create music!
I’ve done my best to work with this situation in a 1,700 square ft. space. Ugh. Not to mention having to be quiet every day. I resent that my home has turned into a censored, controlled and restricted work place geez! I didn’t sign up for this… life and living have been on lockdown in my home for two years now. The joy of music has all but vanished from the walls of this house and, my heart.
Women and children and elderly people having to leave loved ones and their home country! Horrible things are happening in the Ukraine. I suppose in perspective, I should appreciate the 1700 sq. feet of domain I reside in! I can sit in my home and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. I am so grateful, just not happy. The vibe of the worlds problems are heavy and so sad… It’s a helpless and lonely feeling knowing so many wonderful people/families are hurting so much.
It’s interesting to me, that a lot of my channel plays and views lately come from both Russia and the Ukraine. I have been getting many plays lately from Russia of this cover that I posted on my SoundCloud channel. I Believe In Love (cover), written by Elton John. I imagine that a lot of the Russian citizens are extremely angry and saddened by these circumstances in which they are having to endure and grapple with as well!
I Believe In Love– ⬅️(SoundCloud link)
The things we take for granted! These are not good times for the world. I’m feeling it in my brief outings to the store or while running errands. A lot of people have become unsettled and unhappy… Angry, unsympathetic and mean to each other. Intolerant and very impatient! This is such a sad time in history. Can we just skip to the resolution of the trials? It’s time to move forward, and up and out of the bad times…
Adding The Colors Of The Rainbow To My Muted Life
I’ve had an opportunity to take some quiet time to enjoy my kids, grandkids and my hopes for them! I’m still playing cheerleader as Mom’s usually are. Everyone needs a cheerleader or even a whole cheerleading squad! Encouraging the good in people and situations is where I tend to focus. It’s easy to hear, see and speak the bad. I’m trying not to go there in my mind. A personal challenge this week. Im putting my rose colored glasses back on. It is what I want to see in and of this world!
Clarice has become more trusting and loving in her 12 years of life. She used to be terrified of people. Love heals all creatures I think.
My cat Edward has been having a health issue that I’ve been giving him an antibiotic for twice daily. We are at nearly two weeks of medication that seems torturous for him! Makes me sad to have to force feed him meds out of a syringe. He still loves me! He must have a sense that I’m trying to help him?
Speaking of muted, I hope you will unmute your volume settings and hop on over to my YouTube channel.

Have a wonderful rest of your week ❤️!
Cabbage And Cake My St. Patrick’s Day Bake
Domesticity won out with how I spent my time this week. I spent time in my kitchen the past few days. I found a recipe for Stuffed Cabbage rolls! I’m thrilled to have found it as this recipe just looked delicious!
I tried the recipe last night. It was amazing and straightforward. Not difficult to make just time consuming. So worth the effort though!
I decided that it’s all about the cabbage this week! I’m making Corned Beef and Cabbage tomorrow for St. Patrick’s Day. I make the New England Boiled Dinner every St. Patty’s Day. My tradition is to serve lime jello with pears as a side dish. It goes very well with the salty corned beef meal. A nice balance of flavors.
I also made a special cake as my college student daughter and her boyfriend will be joining us for dinner.
I decided to make a rather easy Pistachio Pudding Cake
I also made the lime jello and pears.
His fan club administrator honors him by putting together birthday greetings from his fans. She creates a special video with greetings, well wishes and cover music from his fans of his music.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you☘️!
