My best to you on this 4th Of July, 2023. I wish for all of you a terrific celebration ❤️. Have fun all.
I’ve had a great deal of time for reflection the past week. I’m home with my 12 year old and all 3 pets. My husband is visiting his birth country, Vietnam. He and our 21 year old daughter, are touring the country. My husband has decided to stay a bit longer. In his heart of hearts, I know he’d just like to stay and retire there.
I have absolutely no desire to do that. For the past year, he has watched many many YouTube tourist videos about Vietnam. He’d stay up most night until 3-4 am watching videos. Asian food is just about all he wants to eat now. He’s been obsessed about making this trip. Part of me understands his desire to go back and visit. When he left at age 10, it was a war torn country! I’m sure that he couldn’t travel freely to see much of his homeland.
He speaks Vietnamese fluently! Out of all of his siblings, he has retained the most language and uses it frequently to converse with his aunts and uncles. His obsession with Vietnam has created a great divide between us. He’s overthrown the relationship and it’s become all about what he wants. He’s become extremely self absorbed! When and if he comes back, I hope he will have resolved his angst. Maybe it’s just a phase he’s going through? It’s been an unhappy eye opener for me. His discontent to be present at home has been so difficult to endure.
On a more positive note, I’m glad our daughter had the opportunity. She has had a chance to learn about her heritage! Also, she has had a chance to spend time with her Dad…
Anyway, I’ve had a chance to take a look at my life and from my perspective, I’ve given up too much of myself! I allowed this in an effort to keep the peace.
Speaking of peace, this is how I find it! Do You Dream Of Me/Live The Life (Cover)

I really have enjoyed making my own noise!
I created this video with the help of my kiddo! Hand a talented kid your phone with the CapCut app and this is what you get 🤣😘
Zoe’s Carrot Cake Was A Showstopper !
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.

I’ve gotta say that I absolutely adore my pet daughters. All girls in the house. Charlotte, my baby kitty, has just turned a year old. She is the sweetest cat I’ve had in many years. Something about black cats just charms my heart❤️. The opposite of bad luck 🐈⬛! I put this video together for my TikTok channel. I also uploaded it to YouTube shorts. It has gotten a ton of views and likes. I wish I was as successful with my music videos… The music in this video is from a cheesy sappy song from the 70’s. It works well here because animal affection is pretty sappy!
I’m still trying to find a musical niche somewhere in this world. I’ll settle for putting slideshows together. Audio/Video Scrapbooking. I suppose it’s my form of artistic expression❤️. By the way, I created a few years ago. I like it! I’m kind of proud of it in fact.

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, than 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. It hasn’t stopped me though from putting myself out there and dreaming. The humbling has been deeply felt and embedded in my relationships with them.
I heard all about how people doing silly and ridiculous things on YouTube were making them 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 hope 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!
