A SECOND LIFE




This is a second marriage for both Brad and I.  His first wife, though I never met her sounds like a lovely woman, but the marriage just didn't work.  Fortunately, ours has.


He has never shared much with me about his first marriage...but as I have gotten older I have been a little more inquisitive about that part of his life.


One of my recent questions to him was what his home looked like. He has always loved wood and he has told me that his last home with her had Mahogany doors and window casements.  Perhaps that is why we always have wood floors  when we purchase a new home.  


This led to me inquiring about the inside style of his home. He said it was pretty basic...black leather sofa from college days and a few other things they has picked up along the way.


Her style was totally opposite mine....not so much stuff!  haha


Anyway....as we are talking about this he was looking around our sweet little spot..and he said the sweetest thing to me.  You know what it was??  Here it is....I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT BEING SURROUNDED WITH BEAUTY FELT LIKE UNTIL WE MARRIED EACH OTHER.

IS THAT NOT THE SWEETEST THING EVER!!

I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and we each have our own style .


You know....that is not a bad legacy to leave.  SHE MADE MY LIFE BEAUTIFUL.  

I AM BLESSED!

    Your sweetie certainly has a lovely way with words. You were both very fortunate to have found each other.

    You are blessed indeed. I don't know any woman who wouldn't take that compliment and hold it tight to their heart. I'm so glad you have both found happiness in your marriage. (I'd be happy in your beautiful home, too!)

    Hello Jo, thank you for stopping by my blog and following. I apologize for taking a while getting here to visit your blog. I love your eclectic gypsy style and it's great to have a husband who appreciates it as well. Have a great weekend.

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
