Inspiration from AARP Magazine? Oh yeah!

As a young teen, I looked forward to the arrival

of Ingenue (remember this one?)

and Seventeen magazine.

As I grew older, it was Vogue and Bazaar.

Now I look forward to the arrival of the AARP magazine.

I was sharing this with a friend the other day

and she went into mild hysteria. She is quite a bit

older than me. When I told her about this issue, she

wanted to borrow it!

It all started with a little dream.

After having the opportunity to be

an exchange student in the Netherlands,

I knew I was destined to live somewhere in Europe.

But where?

I ended up in Switzerland and loved every second.

This is not where I lived but isn't this FABULOUS?

So serene. I would chop wood to live here-hehe.

While in Switzerland, I became engaged to

a dutch lad.
It looked like I would be going back to Holland.

I wasn't planning on living in a windmill.

I just really like this photo.

Well, while the relationship was not meant to be,

the whole "someday, I want to move back to Europe" thing

never truly left my heart.

That is why I was so inspired from an article in the AARP Magazine (love it).

After hubby read it , he was inspired as well.

I know the kids will be living in Hawaii, hubby is not planning

on retiring anytime soon BUT now 2 people share that dream.

It would actually be 3 because J.W. would need to

come along.

We could spend hours (O.K, maybe not hours)

sitting in our favorite kind of chairs.

Meeting new people, making wonderful memories.


I have seen first hand how dreams can come true.

Maybe someday

I'll be visiting from a sweet little cottage.

Talk about French Elements.

I plan to hang on tight to this little dream

and hubby is holding on too!

Yay!


I am crossing my fingers that post options is working.
Blogger has not been too kind to me recently-hehe.

Big hugs from a French dreamer.
