  6. Hi Jo,
    What wonderful, beautiful photos. You are so right about taking time to smell the flowers.
    I try to do that when I can.

    Thanks for visiting my blog today and leaving such a nice comment. My booth is located at Miss Minnie's Antiques in Shallotte, North Carolina.
    I also have an etsy shop which is on my sidebar.
    If there is anything in the photo that you are interested in, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

    hugs

  11. GOOD MORNING SWEET JO!!!

    Oh, I was out and about all day yesterday, not able to get to answer my comments....seeing a visit from you is always a sweet delight, and coming to visit with you. Your world is lovely and bright as you dearest! And yes, we must get your husband to build you a little tea house in the yard, just like that little cottage in my post! Do you believe that my darling husband said he would build me one after the construction of our new rooms? EHEHEEEE! Oh, but we must find a way to get you to Paris anyway for your 65!!!!! We spent our 20th wedding anniversary there, wow, not eight years ago. I must get back right away, after this construction project is paid off!

    Many wishes to you for a lovely remainder of the summer!!!! Bisous, Anita

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
