HERE YA GO DARLIN'................


OK.....this mature lady is really likein' Texas now.  Last night was our last get together with our group.  We had a lovely dinner and dancing to a big swing band.



 
When my young cowboy waiter served me my meal his comment was "Here ya go darlin".

This mature lady has not had such a sweet thing said in many a moon!!
Made my evening......I'll tell you that!!

Told sweet hubby about the comment when we came home and he said he did not hear it or he would have "defended my honor".  Haaaaaaaa  Haaaaaaaaa!!!


As if that were not enough to make me giggle like a young girl......the handsome young thing told me how much he Loved!!! my boots.  (O:  (O:

Oh.......those Texas boys sure know how to make a woman smile!!!!

Bye now,

Jo

  1. YIHAAA!!! When a compliment comes by that way, it takes us by surprise and the only thing to do is TAKE IT!! HIHHIHIIIHIIII!!! How lovely, Jo...it sounds like you had a blast. And thank you sweet one for coming to visit me...it was an honor to be invited to such an event. I soaked it up and got teary-eyed when we were asked to stand and everyone clapped. Ahhhh...being a teacher has its thankless moments, but when you are thanked, it makes up for all those tearful evenings driving home, wondering if you made a difference, or taught well.

    LET US CELEBRATE WHAT IS GOOD AND LOVELY! Your blog is just so happy!

  22. HI!!!
    I have always said, I can pick out a Real Texan Man in about 1 minute or less, so polite and kind and they have a very sexy walk about them!!!!haha
    and they say the darn cutest things ever, I sat on a flight from Houston to Orlando with a Texan Man, he was also a former Navy Seal, so Polite, Smart and made me feel real safe, I often wondered after our flight if he was an air marshall, he never said that, he said he was an auctioneer!!!!Can you imagine, he would have to be quick with all his Thank you Maams and Sirs!!!!
    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 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
