  5. Bonjour Jo!!! What a wonderful post...and as I look to both my sides, I am so enjoying the bright colors of your world. Is that your lovely bathroom or kitchen with the blue hydrangeas, the mirror and the chandelier? Blue is a great color, and I am falling in love with it all over again; thank God for the colors of His rainbow and the ability to be moved to tears, laughter and wonderment. Beautiful post, and thank you so much for visiting me! Enjoy the week dearest, Anita

    Hi Jo:
    Thank you for visiting and saying nice words. It is like the blue chair in the garden; and nice to be home : )
    Your posts are inspiring and I agree that at 61 I truly appreciate the life I have so much. I am sincerely grateful.
    I just noticed the photo of you on the green/blue bridge at Monet's garden in Giverny. Isn't that a beautiful, relaxing & peaceful place to be?
    peace

  14. Greetings Jo,
    I completely agree. Sometimes I know I have been guilty of taking certain blessings for granted. I must be more grateful for God's grace, mercy and His many gifts!
    It is so lovely meeting you and I must say I do love your blog!
    I did not have the pleasure of meeting either set of my grandparents and reading your blog makes me long for them even more-thank you for visiting and joining me on KimmyStyle.
    Cheers Jo!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
