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 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.

So glad you are doing better! I am sure you will make many warm memories with your beautiful granddaughters. Take care and stay warm.

if you're headed south wave to me as you pass through Alabama! seriously, though, i hope you are finally on the road to recovery. being sick is no fun at all...wishing you all the best in total recovery and "see" you soon!
Hi Diana,
So glad to see you back here, and know that you are feeling a little better. What a rough winter you have had so far! I'm so happy you are headed to warmer climates with your sidekicks in tow!! And your little granddaughter is just precious! Look at those eyes, and yes, the little spike of hair is too cute. Hope the sun and warm temps do you a world of good! Sure have missed you!
Big hugs:)
Sounds like we'll be neighbors soon. At least for a couple of weeks. Enjoy!
Oh wonderful! You are getting out of The North Country just in the knick of time from the looks of the weather pattern. I know that you'll have a blast with your daughter and grandgirlies. See you when I do and not a moment before. Take your time and enjoy the warmth.
oh my Dear, this has been an awful struggle. and it has to have taken the "starch" out of you, big time.
What perfectly precious grand daughters you have. and wonderful that you are going to fly-away-to-warmth, for a spell.
so hope it will do the trick!
mmmmm, perhaps you could stop off, for me, on your way? ,-)))) I can't shake this cough either, and warmth is sounding sooooo gooood to me. :-))))))))))))
rest... soak up the warmth... rest... soak up the warmth... rest... soak up the warmth.... repeat...
gentle hugs,
Tessa~
(cough, cough, cough...)
Diana, It is so good to read this. I am glad you are better. You know you are the start of day for lots of us...we have missed you so much. Hugs all the girls for me. Hope you have some fun and start feeling like your self soon. Blessings to all, xoxo,Susie
So sorry to hear that you are still dealing with that sickness. I think a change of climate and scenery will be good for you. You'll be in good company with those cute traveling companions.
I've missed you my friend and I'm so glad your feeling better!! Enjoy your little adventure with the girls!
You've been in my thoughts, Diana! What fun to be heading out with those girls! Travel safely, and keep well! xo Nellie
Glad to hear you're on the up and up. Looking forward to your post from "the warm place". I bet the girls are looking forward to some Nana time. And the little one is just beautiful with her one little sprig sticking up. Take care...can't wait to hear from you soon.
Diana! Oh, bless your heart but I'm so glad you're up to traveling. How a wonderful relaxing time and we'll be here when you get back. Now those are some dolls! :) Don't get too rambunctious now!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Prayers for health and strength to improve. Have a WONDERFUL trip and post pics when you can. Those girls are just PRECIOUS! Blessings from Missouri!!
Sort of sounds like you're going to a sanatorium :) Have fun on your trip and get a little suntan while you're at it!
I hope you have a wonderful and at least a somewhat restful trip Diana ~ enjoy!
Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
Sounds like a great plan! Have a safe trip and enjoy the sun and your girls!
Diana,
Feeling the warmth of the sun kiss your face sounds so wonderful. Your Grands are all so adorable and the three older ones will be fun travel companions. Week 4 for me and I'm still coughing, weak and getting dizzy spells from coughing. God bless your endurance and mental attitude you've had with being so ill. Enjoy the sun and your family.
xoxo,
Vera
Was so glad to see your post this morning! You always brighten up my day. Have a safe and warm vacation.
Judy
Oh Diana, going somewhere warm sounds like a good idea for you right now. I bet it's so cold where you live, and staying inside all day wouldn't be any fun. Have a fun trip with the girls. That is the sweetest picture of Bright Eyes, and someday she'll be able to join you when you travel.
Feel better, relax, have fun, and be safe, dear Diana. I will see you in February.
love, ~Sheri
You were on my mind just yesterday. I am so glad to know you're headed to a warm climate. I hope the sunshine and warm air are just what you need to get good and well! Every blessing to you as you travel. You know we'll be excited to see photos when you get back!
Have fun where ever you go! I would love to take off to who knows where with my 3 grand daughters, so I know this is going to be a good time of making wonderful memories. And I've been MIA for the last month or two, also. I've just had too much on my plate and have taken on an extra thing or two, so blogging had to go for a bit. I am back - sparatically - but that's at least something.
This is Great news Diana!!! I am so HAPPY to hear that you are feeling better and are able to enjoy being out and about once again! I wish you and your three dear companies a safe and inspiring journey. I will be thrilled with anytime you wish and are free to write. Embrace every moment friend!!! Hugs<3
Good for you....get some "different" air in your lungs. And warm air sounds like the ticket to health. Miss you, but take care of your self. Cute grand daughters...your are blessed in that area.
Louise
Glad to hear an update. I come over and check every few days and hope and pray that you are recovering and just resting, etc.
Take care and those girls and the baby get more beautiful every day :)
I am so glad to see an update. I am so sorry you have been so sick and having such a hard time getting over it. I hope you have a wonderful trip with your 3 adorable traveling companions.
Have a great trip and feel better soon. The baby is adorable, too :)
Hi Diana, I've been thinking about you a lot and praying for you to get better soon. I'm sorry that cough has been hanging on so long. That seems to be the way it is for some folks this year. Enjoy your time away. All of us here in blogland will miss you while you're gone. Have fun with the girls. Take care, Janet W
Well I hope it is somewhere near a beach where you can breathe the sea air. You have to do what you can do. I am surprised and delighted the girls can come with school, but you will get better faster! lol Take care and take as much time off as you need.
Praying you come back healthy and refreshed!! Enjoy the time away with the girls.
I am glad to hear you are headed for some R&R somewhere warm! Might be just the trick to getting back on your feet! I hope you have a WONDERFUL time! xoxo
Glad to see your post pop up today, Diana! Enjoy those gorgeous girls and your somewhere warm! Feel good and rest! xo
Bless your heart Nana
So glad to hear your going to the sun, that will make you feel better quick
Take care see you when you get back among us bloggers
Janice
I love the photos of the girls...been awhile since you posted on them. Too long for me. They are all adorable and growing so fast! Yappy really took my breath away...how grown she looks. Have fun in the sun and take it easy! You're old, for Pete's sakes!
Have a wonderful vacation, soak up some sunshine and enjoy yourself.
You certainly will be in good company.
God bless you.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
I've missed you and your humor..Think about you often..Have a wonderful vacation ..How can you leave that little one behind..?? She's gorgeous..I'll be glad to have you and yours back on a regular basis..Enjoy..Hugs
Dear Diana, have a wonderful time away in the warmer weather. Your traveling group will keep you great company and I am sure you will have tons of fun. My how they have grown and so beautiful. The littlest cutie is such a darling. That little piece of hair is too sweet. Those eyes just melt your heart. Getting away will do you a world of good and give you the rest you need. Continued prayers for you to regain your strength.
Sending love and hugs your way. Have fun!!
XO
Dearest Diana, WE've all missed you girl! If there is any consolation with your having a hard time recovering-hubby and I are still coughing(a dry cough)from the chest cold we had three weeks ago. Going some place warm sounds enchanting! I am going to have surgery on 2/9 and will have hubby waiting on me hand and foot for two weeks at least. Not looking forward to it, but God is good and He is in control so I'm not going to worry about it.
I'll miss you, so don't stay away too long.
Noreen
I am so happy to hear that you are feeling better and heading somewhere warmer. I feel certain that I am on your way and I'll have my bags all packed and ready to go.:-) XO Laura
I wish you a great vacation. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
Enjoy the sunshine.
xx oo
Carla
Diana, I hope this trip helps to put the spring back in your step! It's no fun being sick for a prolonged time. I hear you on feeling exhausted from coughing! Do take care and have fun with the girls! Bright Eyes is adorable! All you girls are beautiful! They take after their Nana! Happy Trails!
Ah, Diana, I hope you and the girls have a wonderful time. I'm sure it is exactly the medicine you need this winter. God bless you with good weather and a sweet time together, friend. You've had a rough winter. This is a good way to remind it of who's boss! Lol The little one is as cute as they come. Hope YourHero survives your vacation. ;-)

Diana, thank you for coming to see my baby, Katie Isabella. :-) WE loved that you came over this evening and saw her TV shows.
Your grand baby is a stunningly lovely baby girl. Well, the entire family is! :-)
Please get well, be happy and warmer and I can't wait to see you when you return. I am so glad you're going. xox
Have a wonderful time! You certainly deserve to go someplace warm.
Brenda
You will be missed, but your mind and body needs a refreshing. Relax and enjoy yourself and will see you when you return. Thanks for your visit and so glad you are better.
Thank you for checking in. Newer follower but have gotten attached and worried for you. Enjoy the warmth of both the weather and your loved ones. Looking forward to your healthy return.
Denise
I am glad that you are going somewhere warm, but I keep asking just where is that at. Your girls are growing and becoming quite young ladies. Your littlest is so adorable. I keep praying for you that you keep improving. I have had every kind of pneumonia there is during my lifetime so I know how you feel. It really knocks you for a loop. Enjoy your trip and be safe. I know I will enjoy the pictures when you get back. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
Wishing you well on your getaway! Looking forward to pics!
I hope you feel well enough to enjoy your Girl's Get-a-way.
Glad you're med tests are looking good!
I hope you have a wonderful time away, Diana. And I am praying that you are 100% healthy when you return. Some warm weather always does a body good. Yes, that sweet grand daughter's hair is just too cute. She is a doll!
Hugs and Blessings,
Amy
Enjoy your days in the sunshine...I wish you well and further recovery, even if it is just for the spirit....Have fun with the girls and travel safe Diana!!
Looking forward to the pictures of your journey!
Have a wonderful time heading south to wherever it is warmer. I'm sure that you and the girls will have an awesome time. Hope you continue to feel better everyday.
~Cindy
Travel safe :)
I am sorry you have been sick so long! It is just NOT fair! I praying you enjoy your time in the sun, wherever that may be! Praying and sending cyber {{{HUGS}}} Blessings, Cindy xoxo
It is perfectly okay to take breaks! Enjoy!!!
My prayers continue for you. This is not a good time of the year to be out and about where you live. Good luck dear friend...
Blessings,
Gert
Dear Diana, be happy, be well, be careful, and have fun.
Love, love the pics of the kiddos.
As we say in Filipino, "Ingat!" Take care and happy trip.
Hugs,
Kelley~
Safe journey! (It's like you're one of those rich women in Victorian England who go to Italy or the south of France for a cure! It's romantic except for the part that you have to be sick.) Get well, my friend!
With travel companions like that, I'm sure your trip will be a good one! Glad to hear you are doing a little better, and I'm praying you'll soon be all the way better. Have a great vacation and get well!
What you went through is very hard, Diana, and anything to do with the lungs completely saps our strength. Glad that you are going South. The sun will do you good. Hope you succeed in renewing your body. You will be in good company. The girls are so cute! Take good care of yourself. You will be in my prayers.
Hope you feel like your self again soon....Love the pix of the kids...oh aren't they just precious!
Nancy
Enjoy yourself! Take care!
hopefully the warmer climate will kick that cough in the butt, diana! have fun!
What a cute group of travelers! I'm sure the warmer weather will do you a world of good. It always helps to get out of the house. Wishing you a fun and safe trip!
Glad you are feeling better an wish for a full recovery soon! I think heading to some place warm will do wonders for you! Don't fear we'll be here when you get back. So enjoy yourself with all your girls, and it would be so hard leaving the little one, I mean seriously adorable!
Have a good time and come back healthy. I'm sure you will have lots of stories to tell. That little baby is so cute. xo
I hope you have a wonderful time and come back feeling like yourself. South? Near me? Have fun and always thinking of you and the family.
I think warm weather will be a great cure. We all wish you well and will be waiting for your return!
Carol
I MISS YOU!!! Enjoy the warm weather, dear Diana - I think that is just what you need :) I look forward to your return and I hope you come back 100% healthy. Love and hugs!

Here's hoping you will do well the further south you go...and hope that bottomless cup works at all Starbucks! Enjoy life, it's the only one you have.
So glad you are coming back strong, the trip to parts unknown will do you good. Sappy, Happy and Yappy will see to it that the fun will never end. Have a great time my friend!
stopped in to see how you're feeling! hopefully better
My "real" life has been so busy that I have been able to blog may twice a month. I just saw this, and I am happy to know you are on the mend.
Take time in the sun and get healthy! I am sorry to see you have been so sick. You are such a sweetheart, and those girls need their Nana to be on her game. Have fun with them....and be well. xo
So glad you are able to go with your girls, Diana.
The youngest is so cute, I could suck her cheeks right off!!!
Have a safe trip!
Love you.
Debbie

Prayers for your health Diana and I hope you and the girls have a safe and wonderful trip!!
Safe travels and happy trails, Diana. You deserve a relaxing get away to warmth and sunny skies. ;-)
I have never seen a finer group of travel companions than Sappy, Happy, and Yappy. Enjoy the time with your daughter and your beautiful grands. I am so happy to know that you have recovered enough to be able to travel to warmer climates. That will help you feel so much better.
Wherever you are, I hope you are recovering! That stuff has hung on around here, too. Enjoy your time with the girls- I know that they can certainly put the color back in Nana's cheeks! Be well, sweet friend. xoxo, T.
Hi Diana,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been sick! I hope that you get back to feeling 100% soon.. I'm a new follower. Have a blessed weekend.
Tamara
Diana, I am so very sorry for all your recent illnesses and I sympathize greatly having experienced similar ones myself. Yours sound much more serious and I am happy for you that you are taking time off for recuperation, healing and good times with your girls. Enjoy.
