WISE WOMEN..................................




The most important thing is to try and enjoy life......

because you never know when it will be gone.

If you wake up in the morning and you have a choice between doing the laundry and taking a walk in the park,

GO FOR THE WALK......

You'd hate to die and realize you had spent your last day doing laundry!!!!!!

            Christine Lee, 67

Enjoy your weekend dear friends.

Love,

Jo

    So true Jo! While I actually like doing laundry (I know alot of ladies think I am totally nuts!), I start each morning out with a stroll through my gardens, then Jack and I go on our Nature walk... it is my therapy and I enjoy it so much... wishing you a beautiful day! xoxo Julie Marie

    Hello again Jo, how fun, you were visiting me while I was visiting you! Yes, I took my header photo, I take all my own photos, with rare exception... that is my front porch and those are Sweet Williams from my garden, they were my daddy's favorite flower... I love flowers in old canning jars! Wishing you a beautiful day! Once again, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed "traveling" through Texas with you! xoxo Julie Marie

    That is funny, I tell my sibling this almost once per month when she decides not to use the "good" china when just a friend comes for dinner or saving a certain dress for this occasion should the occasion arise.
    I believe in using everything I own now, because as you stated, you never know..you could die tomorrow and who would want to leave this world having eaten off regular dinnerware when you could have used the Limoge! :-)
    Have a lovely weekend Jo, cheers!

    Well said, and so true. I don't know why, but as I try to type this note your page keeps moving around. I have never had that happen before...

    I often think about all those ladies on the Titanic who didn't have dessert that night!

    Just goes to show that we shouldn't miss out on the little things.

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
