WE ARE IN KERRVILLE, TEXAS......

Who knew Texas would be so very beautiful!!  I've posted before about how beautiful our country is and how fortunate I feel to be able to see parts of it.

Well, Texas is no exception.  We are staying at Buckhorn Lake Resort about 7 miles out of Kerrville.



This is a picture of one of the beautiful coaches we are parked next to.  I love the fact that they fly the Texas and Mexico and U. S. flags at this resort.  I took a class this fall on our relationship with Mexico, and the instructor felt that our most important relationship as far as foreign relations go is with Mexico.  I think  I agree.  Even though, here in AZ, we are in the press about our immigrant situation.....I still feel like the Hispanic population is extremely important to our well being.


Can you believe all the wild flowers?  I hope these are a result of Lady Bird's efforts to beautiful this wonderful state.  There are just miles and miles of them.



Had to include just a little more local color in one of the towns we passed thru.

The first night we arrived we were welcomed by a HUGE thunderstorm......you know they do everything bigger in Texas!!  (O: (O:

But today, is sunny and beautiful, clear skies and fairly comfortable.

I LOVE TEXAS!!!

Blessings to all,

Jo

  9. Deaest Jo! Thank you soooo much for coming by and leaving such kindness in your wake!!!! And your blog post...I would have never thought of Texas as a destination, but I can see by your photos that there is a diverse landscape. I enjoy lush green to desert and I have always thought of the Southwest as being totally desert! I grew up in S. Calif. and that was enough heat and dryness for me!

    WOnderful photos and please, show us more!!! Have a lovely evening. Anita

  10. I've only been to Dallas, Texas as you might have read my story post about it a few weeks back. I have never seen the Texas Hill country and it looks beautiful thru your pictures. They always talk about the wild flowers! Hope you time there is warm and sunny. Here in the Midwest it is cool and damp!

  14. Hi Jo!
    How wonderful that you're in my neck of the woods! And thank you so much for popping in and visiting my booth, I only wish I had been off work to meet you there.

    How much longer will you be in the area? Maybe I can arrange to leave work early and meet up with y'all.

    Hugs,
    Anne

  15. Hi Jo, Glad you're back and that Texas was all you hoped it would be. There is much beauty there indeed. I was born in east Texas but made my way over next door to Louisiana and love it so much more as I've been here all my life so it is home. What a wonderful trip you shared with us.

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
