COMPANY'S GONE.....NOW TIME FOR A LITTLE REST!!!



Well, company came and we had a great time catching up.  This particular couple we have not seen for over a year and a half so it was really a great visit.

Allright.....now that I don't have to be "hostess with the mostess"....what will I do with myself.

I could clean out my pantry.



NO..........I don't think so.  I know, I'm going to take time and have a great cup of coffee with a sweet little snack that I picked up at my favorite bakery


Then I'm going to take off my shoes, go outside and work in my garden.




Water my flowers and till my rose beds.



And last, but not least, stretch my toes by walking through my green, green grass
while smiling at the bunnies who are just waiting for their afternoon repast.


Ahhhhhhh......taking time to just live!!

Isn't it great!!!!!

Blessings friends..it is good to be back.

Jo

    What a wonderful idea Jo. Friends are so wonderful but getting you home and life back on schedule can be great. Good idea to get rest first.

    Hugs...Tracy :)

    Sounds wonderful! We just had an orange dust storm roll in so I will be hiding out indoors. Yuck! Sri Lanka was so much nicer. Many blessings as you relax and regroup. :) Tammy

    Welcome Back!
    And if you keep tempting me with all of these relaxing moments, you just might have ME as a new guest! ;)
    I'm glad you have time to rest as I'm sure you spoiled your company while they were there.
    Enjoy your "me time" for a while ~ you deserve it!
    Have a wonderful restful weekend~

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
