The curse of the Gypsy...wanderlust

Some of you already know that a couple of years ago  I made a BIG life changing descision t o get rid of everything I owned except what fit in my old 77VW Bus Lucretia..and move from Charleston,SC to Portland Oregon.  My bus had too many problems to make it , so I had to rent a car, but I did it.I miss my VW.  Me and Spot had the best times ever..sipping vino and just chillin'...Going camping or just in the driveway... I still have wanderlust.. I still want to live in my Gypsy Wagon and be free.. I am looking for  another van .  I am feeling those winds of change...~~~“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” –Jawaharial Nehru 

Orange you glad I have a bit of art to show you..

ha ha..considering my AED challenge that is more like Art Every few Days. An Orange tree in the neighbor's yard ... yum.  I made this  sort of shrine  collage  from scraps of paper and magazine cut outs.

Tried to ba arty with this photo ..I was on the ground looking up...heh heh.  I was gone all week on  another pet sitting job so I got a bit behind on my blogging.

My OWOH Winnings: I was so lucky to win this cute frog photo from Mike at Florida, Our Secret Garden and house pin from Bobbi !Also a couple of collage pages from my journal..not  too exciting, but I am trying to keep up with it! Yesterday was a beautiful day . Stayed outside all afternoon!  Took my nephew and we had a blast...we saw 4 manatees swim by us while we sat on the dock...it is amazing to see these gentle animals in the water gliding along.  OF course , I did not have my  camera, but will next time.
