ON BEING A GROUNDED FREE SPIRIT......................





A beautiful lady who blogs under Mumsy's Refuge
has passed on the Versatile Blogger's Award to me.
Since I am an award free blog....I simply want to introduce you to this beautiful woman.  She writes from the heart and is fairly new to the blogging community.

In passing on this award to other's she described each blogger to the best of her ability and why she chose them....that in itself is wonderful!!

She described me as a GROUNDED FREE SPIRIT.  I know that is a contradiction in terms...but I do feel she hit the nail on the head.
We do manage to do a little traveling during the summer and have a home base in the winter....but more importantly I think she realized that I love so many things....different styles....different writings...
poetry.....art.......I WANT TO DO IT ALL...as a very dear friend in AZ often says to me.



We only have a limited time on this earth.....why not drink up life till you overflow.

Please be sure and stop to see Mumsy...it will be worth the stop.

Just go and have fun!!!!!

Jo

    Congratulations, my friend, and I heartily agree. You are the free spirit I once was and one day hope to be again. May you have a blessed weekend.

    I couldn't get your link to work for Mumsy's Refuge so I was able to find it at http://mumsysrefuge.blogspot.com

    You definitely deserve the award. I, too, love your blog.

    What a beautiful way to describe you, Jo. It fits so well and could only be truer if she added the word beautiful to it. Have a wonderful week, my sweet friend.

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...

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
