About My YouTube Channel... Who Knew?


Who knew?

Who knew I'd enjoy producing videos... I've made 39 on TI50WL YouTube channel.
Who knew how much I'd love editing... so much fun, so much pain.
Who knew that anyone would watch my videos... 443 visits to date, which probably comes
  out to around 44 views all the way through a handful of them.
Who knew anyone would subscribe to my channel... 3 and counting!

Who knows when I'll post my next vlog... stay tuned. It's FREE!

Oh, and Like and Subscribe if you think my videos are not terrible.
Heck, maybe Like and Subscribe if you think they are.

Thanks, Lil

New Year's Resolution? No, Never.

As with promises, I do not make New Year's Resolutions... to easy not keeping. However, this year, the second into my fifties, I am toying with the idea of making Tomorrow Resolutions. So, here goes...

Sunday, January 3, 2016 Tomorrow Resolution: I resolve to sort through photos to fill the dozen or so picture frames that I just dug out of moving boxes that were packed away in Colorado three years ago and finally relocated to California last Spring. Should be fun.

Turning The Page On January 1, 2016

Today was a good day with plenty to keep me busy as soon as I rolled out of bed. Errands run; kid pick-up from work and a second stop at Target got me back home in time to get started on Happy New Year Best Wishes Bash.

I don't entertain much, not at all, really. This holiday season was different. No weekend passed without friends and family dropping by for s'mores and hot cocoa out in our backyard "winter wonderland," or as close as we can get to that in the Southern California desert.

Tonight was downright festive... food, drink, music, games, and every sort of sweet treat you can think of, in the company of my nieces and their families, and my sister and brother-in-law. We shared a modified version of our traditional New Year's Day dinner, of salmon, wild rice, Hopping John black-eyed peas, and spinach salad.

This year's January 1st meal consisted of delicious crab and salmon cakes, black-eyed peas salad (for luck), wild rice (for health), spinach salad (for prosperity), and a buffet table overflowing with many more tasty dishes.

There were plenty of giggles from young and old sitting outside around a crackling fire. Inside we could hear all the fun the kiddos were having playing video games; ages ranging from 4 to late teens. The only tears came when it was time to shut the games down, our youngest guest did not want to leave. Loving hugs shared and off they all went into the mild evening air.

It was a good day, and a great start to the new year. I hope yours was too.
