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

  4. How good to travel and go where your heart leads. It would be fun to decorate like a gypsy and even nicer to have a home pulled by horses.

  5. Hello Jo:
    We are reminded of the adage that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive. Happy adventure!

  6. Well Jo I admire your gypsy spirit. I would just adore to travel in a gypsy caravan like the photos above but am torn between that and my wonderful rambling rose garden here where my creative spirit is fed from too!
    Have a wonderful travel!

  7. That gypsy coach above is amazing !

    Perhaps you could glue everything to the wall and the floor ?
    lol

    I love hearing about your nomadic adventures.

    I am too much of a woosy to give up the comfort of my stationary
    nest.

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

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
