STILL PICKING ROSES THROUGH ALL THIS PACKING AND PURGING..............



Picking...Packing.....Purging..the three P's  (:
I seem to still find time to check my garden during this packing and moving and remodeling business.  

I use almost anything that strikes my fancy for a little vase.  The cow cream pitcher seemed the perfect fit for one of these wild roses that still seem to bloom during this blast of heat during an Arizona summer.

My roses go wild if I'm not tending to them properly and I've been so busy that my gardening and blogging have fallen by the wayside.  

This morning Brad is over at the new house overseeing the laying of new flooring and putting some paint samples on the walls.  Oh my...paint....what a difficult item to tackle.  It is always the case that paint looks great in one room and horrible in the room immediately next to it.

We will get this figured out with enough paint samples on the wall.  LOL LOL LOL

Just taking a little break during packing to check in on blog land.


Please have a beautiful day.

    It took me so many months to pack and purge. It's so hard trying to make those decisions of what to keep, and if you are like me, no matter how hard you try, there will be some regrets. Realistically, there is NO space in my new apartment for my ceramic doll collection and I had to let it go. But I still mourn its loss.

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
