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...

ReplyDeleteJo - your blog is beautiful! I think I love the Thomas Kincaid the best. I have three of his paintings in my home and I could stare at them all day long. I will live in one of his cottages in my next life!

Enjoy your day! Karen

We have a couple in front of the house, can you believe that they are still empty? Thank you for stopping by today and leaving a comment! Isn't the Summer Sundays meme fun?? Ciao, bella!
ReplyDeleteI was just saying to my sister she needed to add three on the back of her home to finish off the Tuscan look of her outdoor room.

ReplyDeleteI was out jogging the other day and saw a beautiful window garden and thought how much would I like one myself! Imagine opening up your kitchen windows, a cake in your oven, and smelling your own pretty flowers :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post
Oh you've brought back some precious memories for me! I was blessed to live in Germany which has some of the most beautiful window boxes that you could imagine.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your kind words and support.
May your open door only reveal beautiful things.
Oh I looove window gardens! I have always wanted one of my own, but I've never lived in a place where that is possible. Thank you for sharing these lovely images. And thank you for your sweet comment on my blog! :)

And I'll be in the window next door, and they'll all be the kind that smell so good when you open the shutters...
ReplyDeleteFun to dream, huh :)
