MEET THE PUMPKIN...................


No.....this is not the pumpkin...this would be called the raspberry.....


No....this is not the pumpkin....this would be called the gum drop.....



No......this is not the pumpkin.....this would be called the
lemon aid.....




This is the pumpkin.




This was my Christmas gift this year.  My darling husband asked me what I wanted....and since we needed to change cars for our motor home...I knew what the exact answer would  be.


This is my third VW.  My very first car was a "bug" the teal blue color...when they first came out.  I bought and paid for it myself.


I had an interim one in lime green called "lightning bug".


And now....."the pumpkin"....I told my husband this will be my last car...he laughed.  I love it that I began driving in a VW Bug and I'll probably have my license revoked when I'm too old to drive.....and I'll still be in a 
VW BUG.  (O:(O:(O   Heck...I'd even be buried in the thing if they would let me. LOL LOL


Have a fun filled weekend,


Jo

    I'm loving the little Green Caravan! Thanks for stopping by, you made me smile with your comment... yes, why be normal at all... it's quite subjective really. *winks* I'm still torn between collecting and wanting to purge most of it... I don't think it shall be too long before the second urge wins out in the Spirit of convenience and less work. *LOL* I love it all... but to whom much is given, much is required...

    I love VW's Jo! That is so awesome... When I was a teenager, I had a beat up 1967 bug, gave me more grief than anything else in my life, but boy did I make the best memories in it. I cried when I sold it and it drove away! *sigh*

    Nothing like a VW. I had a VW van in my hippie days. Love your pictures.

    That is one sweet car. Does having a pumpkin as your vehicle make you feel like Cinderella? Sounds like you've already got your Prince!

    After the gumdrop my fav would be the pumpkin too. My very first car..bought and paid for myself..was a PINK vw bug..I loved her! then I got a teal bug convertable..love her too. I would find another but it is getting impossible to find someone to work on them...what I really want is a VW bus...I'm on the look out!

    hey JO...love your pumpkin
    if you're ever cruising thru PA
    be sure and stop by
    we'll go for a ride, visit the spots
    where the car hops still come out on
    roller skates and the 50's and 60's
    music is blaring over the speakers!
    you go girl :D
    BEAR HUGS

    It's so pretty and shiny. I used to have a little VW Polo. I don't know if they sell them in the States. A tiny car but sure was great to scoot around in and easy to park. Have a great week. Tammy

    Love it; and you!
    I had to smile because
    when my son was a baby,
    that's what we called
    him, as he was an October
    baby! My hubby would love
    to have one of these for
    our daughter. Sweet!

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
