AHHHHHH THE WEEKEND................



I don't know about you.....but the weekends have ALWAYS been special to me....whether working or not....the whole atmosphere in my surroundings seems to change.



Beautiful music playing......flowers from my garden......and softly lit candles seem to set an atmosphere that just says RELAX.


Don't know whether we will take in a movie or go to the farmer's market in Carefree...but we will leave that decision for later.


In the meantime I'm going to pull up a favorite chair in my favorite corner and have myself a little cup of tea.....and simply BE.......


Have a wonderful weekend dear friends.

hugs,

Jo

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting. I love all your pictures. The flowers are gorgeous! Are they pictures you took here in Arizona? I'll keep in touch.

    When we retired our week-ends became the time to stay home and away from the maddening crowds. Even Jim doesn't fish on week-ends. I prefer to curl up with my computer and finally catch up.

    Hi, Jo,
    You know I love Arizona! ! !
    Before we moved to mid-MO we lived in Strawberry and before than Phnx.
    There is no place like the desert. We miss it every day.
    Today, with the temp right 'round mid-forties with the sun shining, I'm still going to take my cup of coffee and settle down for an afternoon of knitting.
    always loving reading your posts,
    hugs
    Gerry

    That's my favorite thing to do ... just BE! I spent the whole weekend in pajamas, crocheting, baking, cooking (only cleaning when necessary). :) Pure bliss! Enjoy the rest of yours. Tammy

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
