SITTING HERE WITH TIME ON MY HANDS AND A CAST ON MY FOOT.........THINKING, THINKING.........




When I started blogging I was on a mission to learn the computer.  You know.....being able to download pictures and find my way around the web.  Well I've accomplished a little bit of that; but with all this time on my hands, I'm not sure which direction I want my blog to take.  Usually I jump into something with both feet, and blogging is no exception.  It seems as though I have taken sort of a shotgun approach and have posted about a little bit of this and a little bit of that.


So with that said, here is what I am thinking.  Since this blog is dedicated to my deceased maternal grandmother; perhaps I should begin at the beginning and relate what I know of my French ancestry.   You know......first things first.

That post will be next.

Blessings to all of you ladies out in blogland

I have done many posts about my French heritage and plan on doing many more...

  13. Oh dear Josette, I am a bit behind on my blogging at the moment as I have been nursing two sad boys (one boy and one man who is acting like a boy!!!) at home with casts! I can't believe that you also have an injured limb-I am so sorry!

    I can't wait to come back soon and read about your French past-sounds like a really interesting direction for your blog.

    Blessings and best wishes for a wonderful Easter and please, take it easy!

  18. You know, coming from me, I will LOVE to hear your story. I'm still writing family stuff on All My Yesterdays, that's how I decided to go on that one. The other one is like you say..a little of this and that. I think you've done wonderful on here and seeing all your followers, I'm not the only one. And once you start remembering and sharing all about your grandmother, things just flow along and keep going.. I can't wait to 'hear' all about her.

  19. I think it is very sweet that you have dedicated this blog to your grandma. I recently lost my granny (http://berlindeluxxe.blogspot.com/2009/09/little-memory-of-her.html) and I so miss her dearly :(

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
