HAVING A CHERRY GOOD TIME!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


WELL.......WE HAVE FINALLY LANDED IN A SWEET LITTLE SPOT IN MONTANA.....

LAKESIDE, MONTANA ~~ TO BE EXACT ~~

THE FLATHEAD AREA OF MONTANA IS THE HOME OF A HUGE CONCENTRATION OF CHERRY ORCHARDS.........AS WELL AS HAVING THE LARGEST NATURAL LAKE THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

WE HAVE A LITTLE SPOT AT THE LAKE THAT WE SPEND PART OF OUR TIME DURING THE SUMMER.

AND WHAT IS A SUMMER WITHOUT ....




THIS LITTLE STAND IS HERE EVERY YEAR....WITH THE SAME SWEET SIGN....THEY SELL EVERYTHING FROM THE CHERRIES SHOWN ABOVE TO CHERRY JAM, CHERRY APRONS, CHERRY BBQ SAUCE....AND ANYTHING ELSE THEY CAN PUT A CHERRY ON OR IN!!!  (O:(O:



CHERRY SEASONS LASTS APPROXIMATELY 4-8 WEEKS DEPENDING ON THE CROP....... AT THE END OF THE SEASON.... THE LITTLE STAND CLOSES UP AND GETS READY FOR FALL AND WINTER AND A NEW CROP OF CHERRIES FOR NEXT YEAR!!

ENJOY!!!!!!

HUGS SWEET FRIENDS,

JO

    Thanks for following my blog, I had to come visit yours. I was so pleased at the beauty I have found here. I envy you for living in Montana such a beautiful place. I worked there as a travel nurse and still miss its beauty.

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
