SWEET SPOTS ALONG THE ROAD..............


Well......we are on the road again traveling South to our little winter spot.

Once, again, I apologize for not being able to check in with all of you who visit...it seems that it takes so long for me to download any pictures that the blogs I want to visit are almost impossible
to see.



We came upon this beautiful wall art in a very small Italian restaurant along the way....
I loved the colors and the content not to mention the great food.


An old cemetery along the highway....the sign said it was established in l833......
Lots of stories here....I'm sure


Heavenly cottages along the way with flowers galore!!



And last but not least a GREAT LITTLE HOT DOG STAND called JUNK YARD DOG
WE PLAN ON HAVING LUNCH THERE TOMORROW!!

We'll keep you posted about the "dogs"


More pics to come!!

Hugs to all,

Jo

  5. Oh Josette Sweetie...
    What fun it looks like you are having. I love it because where you go, I get to go too. So beautiful. I love the old gypsy wagon that is just gorgeous, love the red.

    The Italian restuarant painting so vibrant, and oh my gosh I love the little house with the gorgeous flowers and the shadow on the side of the doorway.

    Now I can't wait to have a Junkyard Dog. Don't forget to let me know how wonderful they are. Sounds just dandy for sure. I'll take a chili cheese dog please.

    Have fun and be safe. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

  17. Looks like a lovely trip, along some great back roads!

    You commented in my blog; "...so loved the movie Practical Magic...we used to have a home on the Island where it was filmed and lots of stories went around town about the actors!!"

    What fun! To have had a home on the island, where it was filmed. I read that the crew painted the town white [down-street I suppose], and then repainted it back to usual colors, after the film was shot. Was that so?

    And did you get to see the shell of the beautiful old house?????? Before the set was struck????? Of if so, please tell me about it. :-)

    That house is almost the star of that film. :-)

  18. Good morning Auntie....in response to your question....yes we did see the shell of the house. It was constructed in San Juan County Park....however, or little town was not the town where they painted the road white...i do not know where that happened...it was fun having part of that file shot in the little spot where we lived.

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
