A WEEKEND IN MONTANA AND A WIENER DOG RACE............


All right....for those who are wondering what in the world is a Wiener  Dog race.......I'm right there with you!!  LOL  
This wonderful event took place this last Saturday behind one of the local pubs in our Little Town.


Anyone who owned a Daschound (s.p. I don't have a clue how to spell this breed's name) (O: could participate.

There were a lot of takers....with each owner proudly parading his sweet pooch across the stage before participating in it's event.


THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE train these sweet little dogs to race to the finish line!!

After several heats.....we had first, second and third.


First place winner this year Was LUCY with runners up Liberty and Freedom.  Notice the little capes on Liberty and Freedom


That is LUCY taking her winning bow!!!!

Oh dear friends.....I soooo LOVE a small town....These 
folks and their traditions are what has made our country what it is.  By the way....all proceeds from this event went to support 
THE SHRINER'S HOSPITALS ......which help family's who have small children needing extensive medical care.

God bless everyone of them and all of you dear friends!!

  2. That had to be so much fun watching all those little short legs running for that finish line.

    I have great respect for the Shriner's Hospitals. A toddler whose mother I was a close friend to pulled a vaporizer off on himself, burned his arm to the bone. Shriner's paid for all his medical bills and scheduled all the surgeries he needed to repair his arm.

    Love the pictures.

    Hugs

  8. JO!!!! I finally made it after a LONG DAY at school!!! This new school year is demanding; during prep hour, lunch and after school, I have to meet with colleagues. It is tiring! BUT.....to come and see your comment and post is a treasure. I live in Minneapolis and our first year here, we went to a PIG RACE! HEEEE! YOu saw right...a PIG RACE! These little pink wonders chase an oreo cookie to the finish line! Oh I love the midwest....AND, after an intensive first week of school, I slowly meandered through that wonderful magazine you sent me; I will be studying it carefully as I already saw some inspiring rooms to create in! We are renovating, so my art studio will be in the basement and my ground level studio is for my music and writing. Oh thank you dearest jo for that mag....and God bless you. THANKS FOR COMING TO SLIP ON SOME PEARLS!!! Bisous, Anita

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
