Yes it is. I even made a few videos of our new stray and our dogs as test videos for a youtube page I started. haha Just thought what the heck my Granddaughter wanted me to start one so I did even though there is not much content as I am learning how to use the gopro camera properly and editing which is the most challenging. I have uploaded several videos just to see how they looked. Soon as I can I plan on uploading my garden adventures and chickens plus local car shows. I did go to Jeff-Tech and videoed but I was a little to close to the cars and I moved the camera around to quick. I hope the next show I get better at capturing the cars etc. Then I can post them on Youtube and Rumble where I have the same page and name. Just need to get some subscribers to actually watch them when I do haha https://www.youtube.com/@PappysPlace

Ashlynn Jean Niver, age 12 of Luthersburg, PA passed away on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Ashlyn was born on October 30, 2011 in Punxsutawney, PA. Ashlynn was an avid reader and a straight “A honor student” at the DuBois Middle School. She wrote and told many, many original stories. She loved telling jokes and playing practical jokes. She was a member of the flute section of the school band plus had private violin lessons. She loved the outdoors for biking, camping, zip lining, swimming, rock climbing, and fishing. AJ was a very imaginative soul who made dragon puppets then made Tik Tok videos playing out her creative stories. She was a prankster who enjoyed startling others but was easily startled herself. She often teased Papa about being bald (even though he isn’t) then would tip his hat off his head and put it on followed by a belly laugh. She loved anything related to Transformers, scary movies, and had a huge plushy collection.
