I'M A LIBRA -- HOW ABOUT YOU?



My sign is the sign that has the scales - you know, the things that always try to keep everything  in balance.  I must admit that I fail in this endeavor on a regular basis.  I'm so busy juggling things to keep all my balls in the air that I often miss the ball completely!



But the one ball that I never seem to miss is the ball of beauty; I have to have beautiful things in my surroundings.





They don't have to be expensive things and they can be as simple as the home made cards above or the beautiful tea-cup that I often use for my tea. 

But they do have to beautiful, wouldn't you agree?

Blessings dear friends,

    Hello Jo... oooh, your little treasures really are beautiful! Your teacup with roses that you have your tea in is so very pretty and I am sure it makes your tea taste even better...I need to be surrounded by beautiful things all the time too, and you are right, beauty doesn't have to be expensive... can be a tiny little bud on my African violet... I am a Taurus... and I am VERY stubborn!... xoxo Julie Marie

    How lovely your treasures are. All sweet and sparkly just like you. Me, I'm a Virgo all the way. All type-A, perfectionist, obsessive about many things drivin' everyone around me nuts.

    You have a marvelous day filled with blessings from above!!!

    Hi Josette,
    I agree, I like to be surrounded by lovely things. They do not have to be extravagant, just pretty. I'm a taurus, so I am a material girl.

    Hugs

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

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
