The Walton's Adventure is a hodge podge of videos. Stuff that is in my everyday life and the everyday life of my wife, Karen.

So in this age of retirement, this old dog is trying to learn new tricks. I've always loved photography and now I have the great opportunity to combine my photography with video. We want to share with you our adventures, our journey and the beauty we see in this world. Both Karen and I "Embrace the Journey". We Hope you join us and find enjoyment through our channel.

This is really fun to watch! So creative......... It's good to see you are keeping yourself busy with fun stuff!
Donna, never a dull moment around here. Never know what the day will bring, but its all been good. Thanks for watching and you comment. Have a great New Year. Tee
Very entertaining! My (late) dad (a commercial artist) was apparently ahead of his time, as he made some b/w 8 mil movies like your animated ones. I still have the DVD (first on 8 mil, then my brother put on VHS and then on a DVD for family members) . I need to find and review! 🥰 He would have been blown away by the AI videos!
I have a totally new appreciation for those who made animated films. So cool that you have your Dad's animations he made with an 8mm movie camera. The AI is crazy these days, can you imagine what it will be like in a few years to come? I did have fun with this, but I certainly need to improve. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and for your great comment. Tee
Awesome Tee ☕️
Thanks! I'm just an old boy playing around with a camera and Legos. Never thought I'd be doing this in my retirement years. You guys have a wonderful New Year, look forward to sharing more videos with you. Tee
I can tell you had fun making this! I know that so much work goes into making these types of animations. Well done! 😄
Simone, I certainly did enjoy making this one. I can't even imagine what it was like for sketch artists to do animation one sketch at a time. Thanks for watching and for you nice comment., Tee
@@EmbraceTheJourney 😊
Having fun on those rainy days! Love it Tee!
You bet Clair. Looks like there will be quite a few more rainy days coming. Santa brought me a Tamron 90 mm mac lens for the Nikon Z mount, let rain all it wants. I've got some indoor photos to take. Tee
This is fun. I remember doing a story like this idea in 10th grade, but of course it was film then. It was an art class project. I remember appreciating animation so much more after doing it. Mine was of a guy fishing lol and he caught a fish on his line. I like your sound effects too. This was fun to watch Tee!!!
I certainly have a new appreciation for those that draw one sketch at a time to make an animation. That's some patients and skill. I've got another idea I may try out using cut out figures and moving them around to a story line. That should be fun too. Tee
Love the animations! They are super creative and fun 😀
Thanks very much. I Have a new respect for those Walt Disney animators who drew one frame at a time to create a cartoon. I might try doing this again and try to get it a bit smoother. Thanks for watching.... Tee
Merry Christmas! A most magical video! 😊
Simone, a Very Merry Christmas to you too. This was a very fun video to put together. Now we move to the New Year, I am encouraged it will be a good one. Tee
@@EmbraceTheJourney ☺
A Christmas video! This was gorgeous! So much beautiful light! Music was perfect too. Thank you Tee!
What a great day we had today. So much food, so much fun! Tomorrow we will take it easy and let it all soak in. Some turkey sandwiches and left overs, it will be a grand day. Merry Christmas, Tracie, enjoy!
❤ awesome you look good in a Santa suit Tee Merry Christmas ☕️🇨🇦
Ate so much today I could easily fill out a Santa suit. Merry Christmas guys!🎄
Chex Mix is one of my favorite Christmas snacks. Mom always made it and then sent us a gallon Ziplock full of it as her gift to us every year after we got older and moved away. She isn't doing all of that anymore but sent me her old recipe card this Christmas as a way to keep the tradition alive.
@@k26kv31 what great memories Chex Mix can bring. Karen still gives out ziplock bags of Chex mix to friends and family. Thanks so much for sharing your story! Have a wonderful Christmas!!!
What a beautiful thing to do Tee. You certainly get involved in great caused and anything to do with kids is a great one.Those puppies are gorgeous and lovely people you interviewed.We send you both lots of love to you and family for the festive season.Thank you for every minute of joy you and Karen gave us this year.See you soon.🎉❤
Ana, Karen and I thank you for watching our videos throughout the year and making such nice comments on our channel. You both have been very supportive to us and we so appreciate that. We feel we have developed a friendship with you and your husband over the time you subscribed to our channel. May you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a festive time in the week to come. Love you guys. Tee
Thank you Tee and Karen.We feel the same and we are really happy with this lovely friendship.Thank you for your wisdom and the joy you share. Merry Christmas to you both and family.Lots of love guys.@@EmbraceTheJourney
Another great mix. Have a awesome weekend my friends ☕️
Thanks for watching. At the rate Karen is making all these treats, I'll be able to fit into a Santa Claus suit without any problems. You guys have a wonderful weekend as well. Tee
That looked like a great facility in a wonderful setting! I hope the children got some comfort from meeting the dogs (and not to forget Santa too!) By the way - I think you would make a great Santa Tee with your calming voice and friendly demeanor! 🎅😄
Simone, thank you very much for watching. Yes, this is a great Agency and I'm so proud of the work they do. You may be right, with the way Karen has been baking and me eating all these holiday treats, my stomach will soon be big enough for a Santa Suit. Have a wonderful weekend, Simone. Tee
@@EmbraceTheJourney 😂
I remember when you did this last year! That means I’ve known you at least one year! I love that you do this and the cause incredible. RJ would have sat with the dogs and she to this day has never sat on Santa’s lap. She made it clear from a teeny tiny age she was not into it😂 I love how involved you are with your community. You are such a cool human Tee. I love the phrase “community hug” I missed Karen today.
Tracie, seems like I have known you forever. I never sat on Santa's lap either, the guy scared me. This program is so wonderful to allow the children to decide where they want their photos taken. The people who volunteer and the dedicated people who work there are simply amazing. I am so proud of the work they do. I loved the young lady, Kathryn, who said she was her mother's daughter and how cool she thought her mother was for doing what she does for the children. We all had a great time, lots of photographs taken, lots of laughs shared. Took nearly a day to process them all. Today I was told all the families got their copies of the photographs, that makes me very happy. Tee
@@EmbraceTheJourneyI love all what I read here! I liked the girl too who said she was her mother’s daughter! Your heart is always in the best place Tee⚡️
🥰
Thank you for watching. Have a wonderful festive holiday.
This is great. Thanks for showing Tee!
These are horrifying crimes, but Child Advocacy Centers are dedicated to the justice and wellness of each child. They are great agencies with very dedicated people providing a much needed service in the community. Thanks for watching Mollie and have a great weekend. Tee
Looks amazing!!!
not only looks amazing, but tastes amazing as well. Thanks for watching.
Informative video but ruined by the awful music..
Thanks for watching. Guess I'll have to work on the background music or possibly, not use music at all. Tee
Mmmm Delicious! 😋
They most certainly, without a doubt, are.
Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: ample financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement.
One crucial aspect of earning profits from stocks is to avoid being frightened and selling them prematurely. It is vital to understand that stocks should not be treated as mere lottery tickets. Consider acquiring the assistance of a financial advisor to navigate your investments.
It took me 5 years to stop trying to predict market movements based off charts studying, cause you never know. Not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go where the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline. I’ve made over $250k since then.
@@mikegarvey17Please who is the coach that assists you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
IZELLA ANNETTE ANDERSON maintains an online presence. Just make a simple search for her name online.
Insightful... I curiously looked up her name on the internet and I found her site and i must say she seems proficient, thanks for sharing.
Great idea for a sweet treat.
they are so so good!!!
Indeed they are
Yummy! Good Idea to use the skewer to pick them up. I think I am going to try making some! Thank you Tee and Karen!😊
The skewer works out really good. A fork to sink them down in the chocolate and the skewer to bring them back to the surface .
@@EmbraceTheJourney ☺
Please people watch out for the bot posts about financial investors (and other bots asking them for details). The investors they name are often crooks. It annoys me how these retirement videos get inundated with this crap. Enjoyed the video by the way (as someone who is about to retire but who does not need helpful advice about financial advisors in my area lol)
Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I had been wondering how all these financial advisors were showing up in the comments. I should of known. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Looks delicious 😋 ☕️🇨🇦
They certainly are.
Delicious!!!!!
Is there a recipe I’ve been looking for an hood easy recipe to make these!!
Great review and showcase of how functional this gimbal is. Beautiful shots at the end as well!
I continue to use this gimbal. I have dropped it a number of times, yet it still preforms like it did when I first got it. Great gimbal for the price. Thanks for watching and you super comment. Tee
Some great tips Tee. I really want to learn to take pics with a camera. Show us more photography tips
I really enjoying taking photographs, I usually have a camera around me most of the time. When the rains come to Washington State as they are right now, I can always find something to photograph around the house and do it with tabletop photography. Dora, you would have a blast taking photos with a camera. Just simply do it. Thanks for watching. Tee
Lovely video Tee.Very interesting.I love photography but Im not great.I like to capture moments.Hope you are both well and you must be so busy getting ready for the holidays.Lots of love to you both from these two folks in Australia.😂❤❤❤❤❤
Always look forward to hearing from you, Ana. Photography is a great medium to capture the moments and let those moments live on and be appreciated each time we look at that photograph you take. Keep clicking away, Ana, I bet you are very good behind the camera of yours. Karen, Willow, Daisy and I are all doing well. The rains have come to Washington so we are not getting out as much. Karen is baking away and I just keep gaining more weight. I'll have to make some New Year resolutions to drop a few pounds. Karen and the grand kids put a ginger bread house together today and then we all watched some Christmas movies on TV. It was a good day. Sending love right back at ya. Have a great week, Ana.
Thank you Tee I will keep clicking.Thank you for the update.It's great to hear you are all well and enjoying those beautiful grandkids of yours.And keep enjoying Karen's goodies😅.See you next week.Lots of love.@@EmbraceTheJourney
Awesome work T!
Thank you, Shawn. When its rainy like these days, tabletop photography is a good way to pass the hours. Hope all is well with you and have a fantastic weekend. Tee
@EmbraceTheJourney You are welcome T. You are right about that. This video brought back memories, of, when we did the table top photography at my house. I hope that you have a great weekend and take care.
@@shawndonnelly5317 I remember that day. You had taken some great shots from the civil war soldiers I had brought over. It was a good day.
Nice work!!!! I always struggle with lighting on indoor shoots with video, this is something I could use and it looks like it doesn’t take a lot of storage room!
Aaron, if you go to the Neewer site, you might be able to catch them on sale. When I got them they were around $60.00. Probably up in price by now, but look for the sales.
how many years did you work and how old are you? Trying to gauge when i should retire
I worked until I was 66 years old. I am now 73 closing in on 74. I spent the majority of my career in Law Enforcement, the last 8 years as a Sheriff. That profession is a grueling one to say the least. It's hard to put into words the amount of stress that was lifted from me once I retired. Probably should have done it years before. Thanks for watching and the best to you for when you retire, a great new chapter in life.
Very neat! My husband just unboxed two flower holders that came off of an old car. They came from his parents; these might be fun to photograph with the method you showed us in your video. I liked how you included the grid and settings that you used and then showed us the final photo. I'm impressed!
Very cool!!! They would be an excellent subject to photograph. Grab your camera, set it up and click away. Thanks for watching and for your wonderful comment
Lighting in photography makes all the difference! I liked the use of black and white with the cup, saucer and reflection. So many creative possibilities with the lighting and subject matter. I have so many hobbies and photography is something I could easily love! Great video Tee! 😄
Simone, you would excel in photography. Once you understand the camera you are using then the creative process becomes endless. Light is everything to photography and I love to experiment with it to find just the right exposure. Your talents could take all to a new level.
@@EmbraceTheJourney That's very kind of you! ☺

these were the best cinnamon rolls I have ever consumed. Now I might be a bit prejudice since it was my wife making them, but man were they ever good.

Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. Karen and I do feel blessed to be where we are now. It was at times a struggle to get here, but isn't that how most journey's are. Thank you for watching and may you have a fantastic week! Tee
I'm pretty sure that when I heard, 'Hate your nextdoor neighbor but don't forget to say grace' is when I became agnostic.
Pretty powerful! Tonight I just finished listening to the news and I can't say we have advanced much from 1965, strange times indeed! Thanks for watching.
Playing dolls in here would be so fun, said the 7 year old Dora. He’ll the 49 year old Dora would still have a play here. Very cute place
You can come over anytime and play in this little village. My grand daughter loves the place. She comes over and makes up stories of what all the little characters are doing. Thanks for watching and have an awesome week. Tee
Thought provoking Tee and Karen. Loved the Jetsons. Back when cartoons were greatly made. Eck that song, but the pill pushing verse, rang true for me. I think it’s much better to focus on the now, as that’s all we have. Live the life, I say
I think you are exactly right. Let's focus on the now and live it. The Jestons were super fun to watch. Thought we would all be in flying cars by now, instead, seems all the cars are flying around me. Thanks for watching. Tee
Another YUM by Karen!!!!
She's baking like a crazed lady today. I think I've gained 61 pounds.
I want to try some 😂
You'll be sorry if you do, because then you'd want more and more and more.
How delicious!!!!!!😊
Ana, Karen is going wild in the kitchen today making all kinds of Christmas goodies. The house smells amazing! What a great time of year.
Crack on good people!
