My Grama's Soul

Arrived home at 9:00 p.m. last night.....and went right to sleep... Just a little post today with a little trivia... There are over 800,000 people living in the city of Amsterdam with 1.5 million bikes.  Everywhere you turn...bikes, bikes and more bikes. I believe they are some of the healthiest people on the planet.  Sometimes I wish we in America would follow suit and rid ourselves of these gas guzzling cars and jump on our bikes! Have a beautiful day....will post again as soon as I am recovered from my travels. much love, Jo

I have posted before of my love of Montana..... Here are a few shots of the area around where our little spot is located. Enjoy!! Cute spot in the town next door.. Gorgeous flowers everywhere...... Beautiful old barns and wonderful vistas everywhere one looks..notice the flag above....ahh.... folks in Montana are so very Patriotic..... Sweet little towns scattered across the state..... Hopefully I have shared some beauty with you today! Hugs from Montana. Jo

The Elizabethans called moving from a winter house to a summer house....their summer progress.  Well we are finally beginning ours. Will be leaving in the next few days for the summer....we have left late this year for some personal reasons...but departure time is finally here. Will be blogging from the road and taking lots of pretty pics along the way....I hope you will join us on this journey......This year could be Banff and Lake Louise in Canada if it all works out!!!  We are excited!~~!!!! BTW........I'm loving the colors of this little wagon above.....could you imaging having one of these of your very own. Hugs from here.....I'm ready to blog!! xo Jo   

Taking a short blogging break~~~don't know if it will be for a month or six months. Thanks to each and everyone of you who have become followers or who have stopped by to comment and say hi...you all are terrific. See you when I see you. Hugs from here. Jo

I have mentioned before how very grateful I am to be able to live in such a beautiful spot.  We will soon be leaving our wonderful little home here and begin our annual journey down south.  But before we go...thought I would show you just a few little shots around the homestead. I'm always tweaking that mantle trying to get it just right. This year was the first time I discovered a plug behind the picture....lots of folks put their TV's up there but ours is in a big hutch in the great room. A lot of the art was in the home when we purchased it so I have made it work.....As you know....I always believe in recycling everything in a new way.  Lots of the little things here are from other spots that we have been in over the years. And....as I have said before......if you don't like color......don't stop in at my spot. Last but not least.......... Hope  all of you have had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend......I know we have. Hugs sweet friends, Jo

You'll find me here.....relaxing and taking care of MYSELF!!!!!! See you in a few. Hugs, Jo
