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!

So glad you are on the mend!
Hi Nana! I am so happy to see you here! I hope your cough is gone soon. It's so tiring to cough! I've missed you!
Hang in there Diana! Pneumonia and coughing is the worst!! I hope you are better asap.
I'm so happy you are felling better. I love the sled you painted too, so pretty in Aqua. Take care!
Hugs, Julie
Glad to hear you are on the mend!
~Trisha
You're alive!!!
I was about to send an e mail to you checking up to see how you were doing.
Its good to see you, Diana.
I will continue holding you up in prayer.
Have a beautiful day.
Blessings, Debbie
Oh love the sled . Oh I am glad your on the mend and feeling better then you had wit the coughing. I hope I did not have my card to you sent back on my door step.
I was confused with two numbers. So your neighbors may get it or two neighbors. When one types on key boarf=d and then try to read it as on a snail mailing. It may be a problem. As I asked my friends what would you think that is. One said what I said the other said opposite. So will see.
I sang. all the way home . Please Mr. Postman .

Glad to hear you are feeling better...get well soon...we miss you!
I am so glad that you are feeling better!!
Glad you are on the mend....stay warm and get better soon!
Such a cute sled and cutie pie grandchildren. Keep on feeling better. You are missed a lot.
I'm so glad you're better and hopefully you'll be enjoying good health soon.
Don't push it! Get better soon. We will still be here. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
So glad to see your post, Diana. And very glad to hear that you are on the mend. Don't over do it, you need to take care of yourself, you always do so much for others. I LOVE the sled you painted! What a wonderful gift you created. And love the pictures of the kiddos. With these cold temps, I've been wearing two pair of socks, my feet are like two blocks of ice! Be well!
You are definitely missed a lot. I can't imagine this bitter cold has helped your lungs either. Take your time. XOXO
So glad to hear that you are getting better. Cute picture of the little ones with the socks.
~Cindy
So glad that u are feeling better! Miss yoy!
Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery Diana! Those cute grandbabies will keep you smiling in the meantime!
Hi Diana, so glad to see your post and know you are doing better and the worst is behind you. Just take care and don't over do it.
Love the sled you painted. Great color and wording. Such sweet pics of the little ones. They are all getting so big!!
Rest and recoup.
Hugs
XO
So glad you are starting to feel better. Continuing to pray for a full recovery. The grandbabies are darling!!
I just bet Bright-Eyes is one spoiled girl by her two adoring brothers!
I'm glad to hear you are finally on the road to recovery, Diana.
My Tim is on his second set of meds for his pneumonia, I sure hope they work!
SO nice to see you here, Diana! I'm glad the pneumonia is gone and you are getting better! The sled is wonderful...what a special gift! xo
Wonderful to hear from you Diana! I'm super happy to hear you are feeling better. The sled is really cute and those kiddos are even lots cuter. Take care dear friend and keep getting better!
Teresa
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Diana! I have an almost exact sled that needs some TLC, you're giving me good ideas for it. ;)
I was just thinking of you this morning and realized I hadn't seen a new post from you in awhile. Glad you're finally starting to feel better! :) Love the sled and I can't believe it was done with a Sharpie! Looks great! Bright Eyes sure is growing up fast! Love the pics!
Diana, glad you are feeling better. It takes some time to get past pneumonia. Take care and enjoy the entertainment. '-)
I'm so glad you are feeling better. I've missed you. Your sock helpers are adorable and the sled is too cute.
Diana I am sending my love to you. On Christmas I had food poisioning from the Eve over my SIL's then the 28th Flu hit big time, which turned into Bronchitis and I am still ill. What's with this forever recovery to wellness anymore? Posting tonight, a giveaway but 2015 will be posts of thought provoking stories. Does Mama Mimi ever find the loss mates? Your sleigh is über cool!!!
Xoxo,
Vera
DIANA, how many times have I told you to squeeze those kids down??? now look at Miss Bright Eyes....she is about ready for school. LOL. My gosh she truly has grown ...it seems way to fast. I am in shock. What a cute thing her sorting socks. Love it. The boys are good big brothers. I am so glad you are getting well. I was starting to really get worried. Blessings to all of you. You have been missed. xoxo,Susie
Hi Diana! I'm SO glad that you are feeling better! Wow...Bright Eyes sitting up already? AND sorting socks? When I married my second husband he said he had never heard of the dryer "eating" socks....I had to show him that there were over 1,000 websites about this phenomenon...he married the wrong girl if he expects all socks that go into the laundry to come out all matched up. Maybe I need Bright Eyes to come be in charge of sock sorting at my house!
Hi Diana, So glad you are starting to feel back to normal(come on gal, you were never normal, but neither am I-lol). I still have a cough-dry and hacking, just hoping it is over before my tests next week and then the surgerey. Can't think about coughing when you've got your lower abdomen stapled shut. Ouch!!! Love the sled!!! Your babies are so cute. Have a great evening!
Hugs, Noreen
Glad to hear you're feeling better. Good job on the sled.
Diana... so glad that you are on the mend!! You have been missed. Love the sled! I'm sure your DIL did too!! Hope you are your old self soon.
It is so good to hear that you are on the mend, Diana! Pneumonia is a very serious thing and can really knock you right down pretty fast. My daughter was hospitalized for that very thing right before Christmas (she is recovered now and doing too much, of course). Please take it slow. The sled is just darling, but what is really darling is that little grandbaby of yours! All of them are just as precious as can be. Good luck finding that sock....Hugs and take good care of yourself. xo Karen
LOVE hearing from you and the pictures and commentary are just so dear!
that stuff is Nasty...my parents have been sick for weeks...do be careful.
Diana, so glad you are doing better. It has been a long siege!. I have had the cough and cold, but, knock on wood, nothing worse. Take it easy and such cute little sock sorters..Happy Wednesday..Judy
What sock sorting cuties!
I love the sled you painted. I bet your daughter-in-law loved it too!
Diana,
I'm glad you're doing better. I know how long some of these nasty bugs can last. Bright Eyes is getting bigger and cuter every day. What a cute picture of the kids. Bundle up, rest, and take care.
Thinking of you along the way,
~Sheri
Little Bright Eyes has grown so much! What a doll. Glad you are better and getting over the wheezing and hacking. No fun, no fun.
Her sock may be lost forever in the mismatch sock pile! lol I'm glad you have started to get better. I know it's been bitterly cold so try to stay warm and give yourself a chance for a full recovery. Sending you lots of hugs, Diane
Hi,
Little Bright Eyes is so cute. How fun :-)
Thank you for letting us know how you are doing.
I love the sled. :-)
Carla
You're back!! Fabulous! I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better! I bet those sweet faces have been helping you heal. So stinking cute...and that sled is just gorgeous! Should I put my order in now, for next Christmas? ;) xo
So glad to know the worst is behind you!! Prayers for complete healing!! That sled is CUTE!
Good to know you are on the mend! Those pictures are too cute! I bet you just want to eat her up- and the boys make it all the more fun! The sled is wonderful- I like the colors you used. I just saw one on clearance at Younker's but it wasn't anything special like your version. Stay warm...XO Liz
So glad to hear your progressing! I have never had it and don't want to! Take it easy - take it easy. The babsters are so cute - all of them.
Glad to hear that you are over the worst of it :)
Love the pics! :)
Glad you are feeling better my friend. Ohhhhhhh bright eyes and the boys are just too darling. What fun. Have a great day.
Kris
oh you've been missed!
sled brilliant.
children brilliant.
humor and wit brilliant and intact.
i'd say your well.
xo
well. i'm sure i don't know how your well is.
but you're well!
So glad you are getting better, even if it is moving slower than you would like. On the brighter side at least now you have gotten some much needed rest and will be back at it real soon. Oh how I have missed your silliness of the day. :-)
Still keeping you in my prayers, Diana!
Hugs,
Amy
Glad to hear your on the mend.
I have some socks that need sorting :)
Yay for good progress! No more cough will be such a relief for you. This must have been no playdate in the park. The children look so happy together...that little grandgirlie is going to keep you all laughing! Take your time, Diana, heal and feel better soon.
Cute post. Good to hear from you.missed the kids as well.now that you've had all that rest we expect big thing! You did all that with a sharpie? Good job!glad you're better.
It takes quite a while to recover, so keep resting. It will leave lungs damaged from here on in. I had double pneumonia long ago and it trashed my lungs. I almost died and dropped down to 76 pounds! Do take care!!!
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Cute sled and that baby sock sorter looks like a handy thing to have in the house....anymore like her??? Kidding of course. Louise
Cute sled for sure! Cute grands!! Glad that you are feeling better..it sure has been a long time in getting better.
warmly,
deb
Oh my goodness, you poor thing! You know what "they" say about getting older -- "It ain't for sissies!" I think if I hear that one more time, I just may throttle someone.....lol! I'm glad you have some entertainment, and mighty cute entertainers at that! Apparently our youngest Grand likes to vacuum. Like that's gonna last....HA! Just get well soon, sweet lady!
Oh my, I am so,sorry you have been going through this terrible health condition. But so glad to hear you are feeling a little better. Love that sled...you did an amazing job!! I'm sure your DIL absolutely loved it!! Little Blue Eyes is so...so cute! He can come and match socks for me any day!
Blessings,
Gert
So great to see your post pop up in my email....glad you are feeling better!!...love that sled!....Take care and try not to do too much..!!!...Would not want you to relapse!
OMG...You had us so worried!! I actually emailed Celestine last night to see if she had heard anything and she had.....You have made my night....You can't keep a good girl down. Don't worry about great big posts, just write a line or two now and then to let us know how it is going!!! so so glad you are getting better!
Carol
Awe Diana...that is such wonderful news that you are on the mend. Where were those little workers when my son lived at home? I could never keep up on the sock pile. Bless! That sled is very beautiful and I am trying to come up with some sort of scheme to pretend to be your DIL....Okay I guess I just blew it.....anyways looking forward to next week when you are feeling 100 percent! Rest lots!
I'm so happy to hear you are on the mend! My gosh, weeks of this! And you still have a sense of humor?!!! Love the sled. Hope you are back up to speed soon, dear.
Jane x
So sorry you've been under the weather but am glad you are getting better!
Did the girls bake some of their famous cookies for you?!
So very good to see you here, Diana! Sending healthy vibes your way to ensure continued recovery! I say it's good to teach Bright Eyes all about laundry at an early age.:-) That does look like a lot of socks, though. It appears that none of them were eaten by the washer or dryer!:-) xo Nellie
I am so glad to hear that you are on the mend, Diana. Lovely gift of that sled. Nice job on the lettering! The little cuties will no longer enjoy sorting socks once they know they can be useful. lol Cute kids! Take it easy and I'm glad you're over the pneumonia. Don't do this kind of thing. You scare us! xoxo
So glad to hear that you'll soon be back and breathing normally! I've missed you! I miss the days of having little boys lose socks (and backtracking through the mall, the fabric store, the grocery store, the parking lot...)
Diana, I'm thrilled you're feeling better now! I'm so sorry you have had such a time. I'm in the hospital now with double Pneumonia. We share similar stories. This is my second time having it and I have always taken the vaccinations. Do take care! It still can be nasty stuff! I love the sled; what an adorable gift and keepsake!
Hi Diana,
We sure have missed you here in Blogland. I do believe that you are the Ambassador of Goodwill for many of us. I'm happy to hear that you are on the mend. Also with help like those three you'll never have to call in the maid!
hugs
Sissie
It is so good to read that you are getting better! Pneumonia is NO fun! You have certainly been missed around here! Sending lots of hugs, prayers and thoughts for restored health! Blessings, Cindy xoxo
Diana so glad to see your post today I was starting to worry!! I'm glad your on the mend and feeling better!! What a sweet shot of Baby Bright Eyes at work :-)
Happy Days are here again...
We all love you! You make us laugh and make us happy to be a part of a very special ladies who love to write and enjoy life!
Your sled turned out wonderful!
Don't over do!!
Send those socks to Match.com ha ha ha
xo Roxy
You can't keep a good girl down! Or a bad one...so you've got both bases covered ;)

Dear Diana! So happy to hear that you are almost recovered. Keep on taking care of yourself. You are much loved!
You a re such a strong woman. I am glad to hear you are almost recovered. It can be a long journey. Much love you you Diana. xo
So glad to hear you're doing better! The kiddies look adorable and the sled is very nice. Take care!
Hope you continue to get better! Rest, rest rest! Cindy
I'm SO sorry to read that you have been ill, but glad to hear that you are on the mend. Take good care.......don't try to do too much too fast.
Sweet photos of the little 'child labourer'!!
So glad to hear you are feeling better! Wow it does sound like you had a very bad case of it. it's takes awhile to get your strength back. The kiddies are adorable, and they could sort our socks anytime!
Diana - So glad to hear you are feeling better. Have missed your posts. You always make me laugh.
Judy
Glad to hear you are on the mend! The sled is adorable and you would look very elegant using that to go down the hill.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. The sled is adorable. Good job. Kids are adorable too.
Hello Diana, =) I am sooo relieved to hear your feeling better. I too was getting a bit worried. Please continue to rest and take the time you need!!!
Love your sleigh project. Great job on the lettering!
Your grand kiddos are over the top ADORABLE!!! You are a Blessed Nana! <3
So glad to hear from you! I miss you!!!
Diana, so sorry I've been MIA and missed your health update earlier. Bless your heart, my friend! What a terrible time you've been going through. I do hope and pray you are headed into a season of good health and no more coughing. You are an inspiration to so many.
I am so glad you are on the mend! I am having a better day too. I love the sled! Did you use stencils? Very nice!
Deb
Happy to hear you are feeling better; I hope the rest of your recovery will be quick and easy! You did a very nice job on that sled; it looks great! Love the entertainment committee--that put a smile on my face!
Diana, so glad to hear you are doing better. Take care of yourself and don't overdue it. Big hug dear friend.
Diana, I am so happy you are feeling better! The sled looks so good! The kids are so adorable!!!!
Kathy
Diana,
So glad you are on the mend. Your Grandchildren are adorable! Aren't they fun! Best medicine for you ever.
I am now watching my Grandson every thursday so my daughter can get into the office for a weekly meeting (she's a real estate agent) so though I have to be there early, its a treat!
Nancy
I hope you are well soon. What adorable photos! xoxo
Glad to hear you are doing better. Looks like you were missed on Blogger! Blessings ~ Lisa
Glad you are back and on the road to recovery. I heard that cough is horrible.....I need to stay away from that. If the grands keep coming over even after you put them to work, I guess it's OK. LOL
Dearest Diane, I am SOOOO gad you're doing better and I am still praying for your complete recovery!
The sled you did is quite beautiful, my friend! And when your little helper is done sorting your socks can you send her my way - it's not exactly my favorite thing to do either :)
Hugs to you!
so very happy to hear you are starting to feel better, diana! buy them toys and they have a great time with socks! haha!
Oh, i'm sorry you've had to go through that ~ my hubby had it a couple of years back. It tries your patience, the recovery, doesn't it?
But I am very glad to hear you are making good progress!
Cute, cute cute pics of the grandchildren ~ made me smile today : )
x
My daughter is going through it right now - awful - so happy you're on the tail end of it !
And that sled turned out beautifully Diana - what a gorgeous color !
xoxo
So glad you're doing better, Diana. Seems like so much of this nastiness is going around.
Your sled is darling as is the little sweetie folding socks!
Mary Alice
So glad you are on the mend, sweet friend! I love the sled, and, of course, I can't think of better "medicine" than those precious faces!
Great news that you are on the mend! Gorgeous sled and precious kiddo's!
I'm so glad you're feeling better Diana! You did a great job on that sled and those babies are so sweet!
Diana, I am so sorry to hear that you have had pneumonia! Glad that the meds are helping. Yes, no sledding for you! Stay indoors and get better soon!! Love the sleigh!
hugs,
Jann
So glad that your health is improving. Have a lovely weekend.
I am so glad that you are recovering from your pneumonia. It will be so good to have you back to your crazy happy normal self.
Oh Diana, I am so glad that your over your pneumonia . It took me a good year to get over mine. Please take care of your self and you do not want to have a re-lapse. I sure missed your posts.
Take care my dear friend.
Mary
Good Morning Diana, I hope that by the time you read this, that your pneumonia and cough will be a thing of the past and that you are feeling alive and refreshed. The only good thing that I can think of about being that sick, is how very wonderful you feel when it is all over. Wow! look at all of your well wishers, that must feel good, too. You are such a sweet lady and it reflects in the amount of people who love you . . . me included.
God bless you; you are in my prayer.
Connie :)
So happy to hear you are going up hill now and will soon be feeling 100%. Those kiddies are precious :)
That darn pneumonia really did it to you didn't it? It's bad stuff! So glad that you're almost over it now. I love the sled that you painted for a gift. So pretty! I love the last pics of your grandkids too. Such a great action shot.
I'm soooo glad that you're feeling better, Diana! I've been keeping you in my prayers, sweetie!!!
xoxo laurie
What the???? Anyway...You did a wonderful job on the sled, Diana! LOVE the color, and lettering!
The kids are so stinkin' cute! Don't you just love it when they laugh at the silliest things?
Good to see your post here in blogville.
Debbie

Diana, The sled is so cute and you have adorable grandchildren. Take care of yourself and feel better soon.
Hugs,
Sherry
Hey,
I am so sorry about the Packers losing that game to Seattle yesterday! I thought of you when that game was finished! My stars, what a football game. Sorry it didn't go the way you wanted it to! (I think I remember you saying you are a Packers fan, am I right?)
Hope you are getting better and better. xx
I am so happy to hear that you are doing better Diana. You did a great job on the sled. And your grands are adorable!
Oh no I did not know you were so sick....I am glad you are feeling better. So do not over do it my friend. Thank you for being such a faithful blogging friend even when I have not been around much. Your sled is adorable...hugs to you dear one...get better. xo
The bugs have been awful this flu season. Too many cases of post holiday pneumonia! Complete rest is so important. Overdoing may cause a relapse. You are always in my prayers.
Diana, the sled is darling!
I cannot how big Bright Eyes is! She is a dolly!
The best of healing blessings to you!
~Lynne

Glad to hear that you are on the mend. I feel for you...it has been a nasty season. Love the sled. I have a few stored in the garage and I may have to try your idea. Such cuties and big time helpers you have. They're such a blessing!
Farmhouse hugs,
Cindy
I am so glad you can still type to keep up posted on your condition. LOL you have had this long enough for sure.
That germ must be breaded deep in your lungs.
Your project on the sled is really good I 'm sure your DIL was happy with it and of course the baby looks sweet playing with the socks.
Here's hoping for a complete recovery this week
I'm so out of the loop Diana. I'm so sorry I didn't know you had been so sick. You know I live in a cave right? It's hibernation time so somehow I missed this. I am happy to read that you are feeling a little better though. I love the pics in this post. We have to teach 'em young you know!
The sled is darling!!!
sending hugs...
I've been out of the loop and didn't realize you had been so sick, but I'm glad you are feeling better. Take care and rest and get well!
I'm sorry you've been so sick Diana...and over the holidays too! Glad to hear you are on the mend. Stay out of this miserable cold so you don't get sick again.
The sled is super cute as is baby bright eyes. Never too early to teach them chores lol!
Hugs,
Deborah
I am so sorry you are still sick this has been going on forever. Anyway your blue sled is beautiful. Hope your feel better soon!!
Diana, I hope you feel TOTALLY better really soon! You poor thing. These things just seem to linger on for SOOO long... As for the photos - OMG - what cuties!!!! And the sled is beautiful!!! Take care, Donna
So glad you are feeling better, hope you have a full recovery very soon!
Blessings,
Cindy
Thinking of you and sending hugs that you are feeling better. Please take care!
I hope you are still on the path to recovery! xoxo

I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend.
I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend.
Good evening dear sweet friend. I am so glad you are mending after all you have been through. Much love.
Diana- I have been so MIA that I didn't even realized you have been ill.
Well please accept my very belated but very sincere wishes for your good health to return !
I am trying to catch up on past posts I've missed, may take awhile.
Hugs and prayers. ♥
So sorry to hear about your illness Diana. It's one that really knocks the socks off of you and it's just not the way to spend your winter. I pray you are on the mend and get your energy back soon! I recommend a long visit to a warm beach:-)
How are you? Any better yet? I am missing you as I am sure many many others are too. I hope you will soon be back on form.
Those kids are awesome, what a great picture
Janice
