Oh my !  Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible sore throat.  In times  past I would have simply "KEPT CALM AND CARRIED ON".  But no--this time I fluffed up the pillows in the guest bedroom , made myself a pot of herb tea, sent my husband out for chicken soup and went to bed.  In short, I took care of myself.  This time - I put myself on the top of my gift list - by giving myself the gift of love.  

So, my dear friends, this holiday season, when as women we are so overbooked and overextended put yourself a the top of your gift list.  Give yourself the Gift of Love!   
Blessings to you all,
 
p.s. the beautiful young girl in the picture is not me!

    Thanks Jo for the Magazine Info, I never realized it was in there & Yes, I did participate in the event.... I will have to make sure I have that issue. I hope you are feeling better, I am just resting today, I ended up in Emergency on Saturday night, after 11 hours & several tests, I now know I have a Bad Gall Bladder.... Fun!
    take care

    Good for you! I'm so happy to hear when a lady does this for herself! I'm hoping you're all better by now!

    Happy Thanksgiving and
    Warm Hugs,

Haven't posted since 2021

Goodness...........I haven't opened my blog or posted since December of 2021.  Don't know if I will start blogging again as I don't like to use Google for anything.....but who knows. Guess if I want to put my thoughts on paper Google will be necessary. We will see what happens. Stay well.....✋

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...

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
