A HUGE PRAYER IS REQUESTED...............................


I HAVE POSTED BEFORE ABOUT MY EXTREMELY SMALL EXTENDED FAMILY...

ABOVE YOU SEE A PHOTO OF MY BEAUTIFUL AUNT RUTHIE....SHE IS MY MOTHER'S SISTER AND HER FAMILY ARE REALLY MY ONLY EXTENDED FAMILY OTHER THAN MY GRANDSON.

THEY HAVE WELCOMED BOTH "SWEET HUBBY" AND MYSELF INTO THE FOLD WITH OPEN ARMS AND FOR THAT WE ARE TRULY BLESSED.

I HAVE TWO MALE COUSINS, RUTHIES' SONS....BILL AND BRENT...THEY ARE WONDERFUL MEN WITH BEAUTIFUL FAMILIES...


THIS LITTLE GUY IS GABE.....BILL'S GRANDSON.....HE HAS REALLY HAD A TOUGH TIME OF IT SINCE BIRTH....HE HAS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL MORE THAN HE HAS BEEN HOME....HE IS CURRENTLY FIGHTING A FORM OF CHILDHOOD CANCER CALLED NEUROBLASTOMA....HE IS FIVE.....THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK TO TRY TO STOP THIS RAGE FULL DISEASE...BUT IT CONTINUES TO PLAGUE THIS LITTLE BOY AND THIS FAMILY.
THEY ARE TRULY A GOD CENTERED FAMILY....AND I KNOW THEIR FAITH HAS CARRIED THEM THRU..

PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOU PRAYERS FOR A HEALING OF GABE AND AN END TO THIS FAMILIES PAIN......

I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A GABE QUOTE.....HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GO TO KINDERGARDEN A FEW TIMES THIS YEAR.....

"KINDERGARDEN IS WAY BETTER THAN HEAVEN".

Have a gentle day dear friends,

Jo

    Jo, if that doesn't mobilize prayer, I don't know what does! I just said a prayer for little Gabe and trust that his body will be granted the strength of the Lord to fight this disease and be healed.

    XO,

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
