MY BIRTHDAY~67 Years; Yuma-AZ

December 29th: This morning dawned beautifully … and colorfully 😁

And when the cobwebs have been chased away by several cups of joy juice, we'll be getting Betsy & Independence ready for road travel on the 1st 👏

My two eldest granddaughter's texted me Birthday greetings and love, while I sipped my hot coffee 🥰

I love it when beautiful things happen, and life rolls smoothly👍😉

Today is my Birthday; I bought this flamingo crown m.o.n.t.h.s. ago to be worn today 😉

Bleu enjoying personal time with Mom ;-)

I glanced out the window - and saw Yeshua's BD Kiss to me; a beautiful colorful sunrise; Yuma~AZ

All my days are numbered by Elohim; He alone decides how long I'll walk this Earth … He apparently has graced me with another sunrise. I am greatly loved, highly favored: and eternally thankful :-)

My tribe is carefully chosen. My inner circle is very small. My 'peopling' time is short-lived; otherwise I am a very good person to know, outgoing, and friendly … toward people who behave in my space 😉

Today - LAST YEAR - love had snuck up on me, and caught me up in a whirlwind of epic proportions.

LAST YEAR'S POST FOR TODAY: (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2022/12/unquestionably-loved.html)

These 11 months of "wedded bliss" have been a wild bronc ride … but that's okay; I'm partial to cowboys 😍 and mustangs - and I'm a bit of a wild ride, myself 😉

My bull-headed Taurus; Highs or lows … and head butting's aside; this man 🥰 Elohim blessed me with is the best gift I have received this year. Things can only get better 🤞❤️ ;-)

In a few days we'll be celebrating our 1st Anniversary 🥰

I think we two headstrong and very independent hard-heads have {it} figured out, now 😘

We had to go into town this afternoon to Harbor Freight, to grab some things needed for our upcoming road trip; I stayed in the truck with Bleu. When Holland came back out to the truck, he handed me 2 bags, and said, "This one's for me - the other one is for you; I was thinking of you, too." 🥰

Inside my bag were several goodies that are PERFECT for this Road Gypsy 😁👏😘

I have plans for the back bunkroom that Holland is aware of: when we set up long enough again, that back part of our 5th Wheel Home will be revamped into my {Babe Room}, where I'll be doing my ✂️, 🏋️‍♀️,💻,📺,📀- and generally giving Holland breathing room for a few hours 😉

I bought an extra-long TV Tray, step exerciser, and a few adhesive LED lights: and a few "she cave thingees" the other day while in town - and yarn is being squirreled away for my creative designs; so the revamp is already taking place 🤔 But the flip-switch LED lights Holland gifted me with today are super-duper, and so much brighter than the smaller one's I got! Now, every time I am back there doing "my thing", I'll be surrounded by Holland's love light 🥰💝

And the spot light LED's are perfect for Bleu's early morning forays 👍

Thank YOU Baby! You know me so well … and you do righteous by me 😍😘💓

YOU MATTER! You were purposefully designed, created, and placed on the Earth for a very specific reason. YOU matter 👍

My BD Gifts from Holland - it is the PERFECT gift combo for this Road Gypsy! **kiss-kiss**

PICK YOUR BATTLES WISELY

June 11th: When Bleu and I returned from our beach frolic earlier in the morning, Holland got busy modifying the 4x.

Truck Rack & Bed Tool Box; both bolted down, in place.

Holland had to give it a trim for a proper fit.

When I looked at the modification, I was hoping there was room near the back rack for the generator we will need on our road journey: it looked {iffy} at best - and unworkable at worse.

The generator is big and bulky … so is the 5th Wheel Hitch. It didn't appear to me, that there would be enough room in the truck bed (as it is currently set up) for both the Tool Box and the Generator. One of them will eventually have to go; there is no help for it. There simply isn't enough room for both.

Holland will be disappointed when that time for decision comes.

Thankfully, the box only cost $50.

I am learning to bend: I nodded that the set up looked "great" (it really did) … and I held my tongue (a very h.a.r.d. thing for me to do!).

When Holland was satisfied with the pickup appearance, we drove into town to pick up some groceries. Holland had planned a Supper Menu and headed for Safeway's to gather what he wanted (he loves to cook); and I went next door to the High School Pharmacy Store to pick up a nail kit to keep in the pickup: I also grabbed some more hair stuff too, to keep my hair tidy while it grows out.

And Holland wisely held his tongue, too, when he saw the girlish hair bands/hair pins his aging wife held in her hands ;-)

A tricked out 4x, and girlish hair stuff.

We are a pair ~ a perfect pair … living our life and snubbing our noses at our ages :-)
