I'M TAKING THE GEOGRAPHICAL CURE-HEADED SOUTH

Good morning friends.

I know I have been gone a long time.

The pneumonia I had really knocked

me down.

Even though my lung x-rays are clear

I continue to cough and feel exhausted.

I want to thank each and every one of you
that follow this blog and that 
contacted me with well wishes,
healing thoughts and prayers.
I am truly blessed to know
and to have
such wonderful, caring blogging friends.

I have decided I will NEVER be a good

COUCH POTATO.

That means that MyHero may have

to find a different partner someday!

Anyway~

This cold weather means that I have

spent a lot of time inside the house

this winter.

I am not a good INSIDE person.

I need to get out at least for coffee 

every day.

My dear friend 

(thank you-you know who you are)

 sent me a 

bottomless cup of Starbucks for the

month of January.

I have used it but had to send someone

to fill it for me every day.

NOT my idea of FUN!

I, along with my daughter and her girls,

am taking off for parts unknown.

Let me just say it is somewhere warm.

I will share pictures when I get back.

My plan is to blog again on a limited basis

in mid-February.

So, bear with me.

I am not giving up-

just giving in to something that has

been beyond my control.

Here are my traveling companions.

Sappy, Happy & Yappy.

They could form their own TV show.

I am leaving this other 

sweet little granddaughter

behind with her Mama.

Is she too cute for words, or what?

Don't you love the one little piece of 

hair sticking straight up?

When her hair is wet it is a mass

of curls like her Mama had.

That's all she wrote, folks.

I am going-going-GONE!

Physically, not mentally, the old brain is still functioning...

kind of.......

See you all soon.

No Sledding For Me Yet! Hello & Health Update

Thank all of you that have written 

to me and sent me cards

and notes.

You are all too kind!

Anyway,

I am still recovering.

This has been a long process-

full of ups & downs.

The 2nd round of meds seemed to do the trick

and my lungs are clear of pneumonia.

I am still coughing but it is not

body-wracking like before.

Over-all prognosis is that another week

or so and I should be back to normal

(or as normal as I will ever be).

BEFORE I got sick I did get a 

couple of projects done.

One was painting an old sled I had for

my DIL.

She loves it!

 The lettering is done with a Sharpie

 Anyway,

I just wanted to let you know that I am okay

but still recovering.

I hope to be back on a regular basis soon.

Meanwhile, I think

CHILD LABOR LAWS

should be used to protect this child.

Little Bright-Eyes Mama Mimi put her here

to sort socks!

(because it is Mimi's least favorite job)

At least it looks like the 

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE

is working overtime to keep the 

workers happy.

Ummmm..and where did HER sock go?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy New Year-2015 & A Health Update

Thank you!  Thank you!

THANK YOU!

I just wanted to let you know that

I am still above ground!

Thanks to all of you that have reached out

and left me comments.

Thanks, too, to each and everyone that sent me

emails that tell me that you are

praying for a speedy recovery for me.

You all are

THE BEST!

Seriously!

Who knew that bloggers could, and would,

care so much about each other?

I am sorry that I seldom responded to 

your comments and emails.

I have been dozing off and on

and watching old movies.

I can't even read because it is hard

to cough and read at the same time.

It is NOT CUTE!

They ran blood tests and lung scans
yesterday.
I only hope everyone has a doctor
that is as good as the one I have.
She leaves no stone unturned.

I will continue on another 

round of treatment
for two more weeks.

I have some new, stronger meds
that I hope will nip this 
thing in the bud.

I cannot believe how long this is hanging on.

I started coughing on 

December 7th at a concert

and have not stopped coughing since.

I have missed the parties

and all the Holiday preparations 
that  I so  love~

but I did 

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

with my family.

I hope to post a few pictures soon.

Let's hope that happens before

the 4th of July-

which will be here before we know it.

So that is the update and

with that being said~

I just wanted to wish you a 

BLESSED & WONDERFUL

NEW YEAR!

I pray for 

HEALTH

HAPPINESS

&

LOVE

for you and your families in the upcoming year,

And, lest you think I lost my sense of humor

I have been thinking a lot about

aging another year.

I have decided it might not be too bad after all!

Bet that doesn't surprise you in the least.

I will be back soon!

Pinky Promise!
