Pick Your Favorite Table RESULTS AND MY Health Update AND Prayer Request Update

First of all
thank you so much for all the prayers
and good wishes you sent up yesterday
for Carol & Dr. Allen Ball.
His MRI showed that the tumor has not grown.
They are headed back to the Carolinas.
He will continue on the treatment he has been on for the time being.
Please keep them in your prayers these next few weeks.

Meanwhile-
Here are the results of the 
PICK YOUR FAVORITE TABLE:

First Place:
FLOWER BOXES ON A PLANK TABLE
2nd Place with about half the votes of #1
#6
ROSE LANTERNS
Third Place 
HYDRANGEAS-A WEDDING AT HOME
Thanks to all of you for playing along.
I love doing this and seeing 
what tables you pick 
and who you are going to sit with.
I am moving from table to table 
so I can sit with all of you.
I DO get to sit next to Ron @ The Uptown Acorn
at the HYDRANGEA TABLE.
That's because THAT MAN likes a cocktail.
I don't drink so he can have mine.
Then I can threaten to tell all of his secrets
when he gets all stuck on stupid.

Health Update:
I am back on antibiotics and inhalers.
I still have a bacterial infection that is hanging on
and on and on and on and on.....
I am laying low for this whole week doing
just what the doctor ordered.
My main source of entertainment is my laptop,
stupid TV programs and watching the 
birds dive bomb the squirrels outside the window
Life is good.
Very, very good.

This is how SweetCheeks feels when 
Nana is not around to play with her.
Notice the sucked in lip.
She pushes the lip OUT when she is pouting..
See the difference?
Do you suppose she is going to really
GET ME BACK 
someday?
She has already told me that I can't come to her
wedding when she gets married because I might
"act up".
Imagine that!
Me? HAH!

Well-wait till she sees what I am 
NOT giving her as a wedding present...
and that's all I'm gonna say about that!

  2. Sorry to hear that you still have the bacterial infection and hope you feel better. Hopefully the antibiotics will help clear it all up! The table setting posts look like fun - sorry I missed this one. My daughter used to make the same exact expression as sweet cheeks with the pushed out lip! Aww how cute she is! Take care and feel better.
    Hugs, Julie

  8. HaHa! You crack me up and I'm starting to think that Sweet Cheeks didn't fall far from the Nana Diana Tree. Sure hope you get over the crud soon. I have been lucky this winter. Praise Be! Hope I didn't just jinx myself. Til tomorrow.....

  10. You are my favorite nut! LOL... and I know you know what that means! So sorry that your still stuggling to get your health back to normal. It seems like forever sometimes doesn't it? Sweet Cheeks is too cute- obviously you guys are very comfortable with each other since she tells you things like that! LOL... Darn I should have picked #1 which was my first instinct but what the heck I'm usually in the minority anyway!! It was -9 when I got up- now they are reporting about the ice caves again along the shoreline of Lake Michigan.

  11. thank you for the health update, Dearie! we worrrrrrry, you know!!!!!! ,-)

    and it helps to say that your laptop is your main entertainment, so "no one" will go off the deep end, and get her "panties in a twist," about you not following doctor's orders. just in case some excitable soul might possibly do such a thing. just sayin'....

    hugssssss,
    Tessssssa~

  13. Good Morning Diana, you always manage to put a smile on my face. . . thanks. I can't afford nor do I want a facelift, but this face of mine always looks better with a big smile. Sorry to hear that you are still under the weather and hope that something happens to snap you out of it very soon. You are in my prayers.

    Be well SOON!

  15. Take care of yourself and keep Sweet Cheeks right by your side to keep you cheered up.....hugs....

  16. Poor poor Diana! I'm so sorry you can't shake this. I'm praying for complete healing and fast! And...poor little Sweet Cheeks, tell her she'll have her Nana back! Now I love love the hydrangea table and you had better watch that Ron that he doesn't get dog slobbering drunk! :)
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  17. So sorry you are still feeling poorly. Hope you get lots of rest and relaxation this week!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Prayers for Carol and Allen, and for you to feel better soon. My pick didn't make the cut, but I really liked them all and it was hard to say which one was the prettiest. You know SweetCheeks will come around to a big smile sooner than later. A big batch of cookies might do the trick.

  19. The girls love you so much - you will be at their wedding! And you need to rest and feel better. And your friend - I am glad his tumor has not grown. Love, sandie

  20. No more fun for you! Well, that's ridiculous! You can make fun out of twiddling thumbs. Oh-oh Nana's been put in the wedding corner. Too cute!

  21. This winter is dragging on, where is spring! Hope you feel better soon!

  23. Good Morning Diana, I will continue to say prayers even though I didn't send a comment yesterday. Too much on my plate at the moment. I will feel better after I have my doctor appointment. Always get up tight when I have to go for myself. I chuckled when I read you couldn't go to sweet cheeks wedding. Really you might act up. I will keep praying for you all that you all get better. My son-in-law was told that antibiotics wouldn't work that it was just going to have to run it course. Have a good day even though you don't like your entertainment. Many Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley

  24. Diana rest and fully beat this awful virus that has chased you for months. Be well my friend.

  25. Take care of yourself! A bacterial infection can be hard to beat, so boring as it may be, you need to take it easy so that you can come back - full force!!!
    Love the photos of your granddaughter!

    ReplyDelete
  26. So nice to see how big Sweet Cheeks has gotten! Time goes by so quickly. I'm sorry to hear about your health problems and that of your friends too. I'll pray for them. Blessings to you my friend! So nice to catch up :)

  27. Oh, btw, I have a friend that rents out plank tops to attach to folding tables. They are the most beautiful things! Her husband made them for their daughter's wedding, and now they have a little side business because of it. I too, am partial to the plank top table setting :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh no! I missed the table setting! I love the winner though. So pretty. I'm sorry you're still battling this bacterial thing. Hopefully this round of meds will do the trick. Rest up! Feel better!

    ReplyDelete
  29. It's just an opinion but I seriously think you need to go see a specialist. Antiobiotics are not taking care of this. Maybe IV antibiotics. I am concerned for you. Missed, the tables but glad I didn't miss Sweet Cheeks. Yep, I am sure you will act up, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  30. yay! My table setting won! It was really hard to choose too. So sorry to hear that you're still not completely well. I bet you're so tired of not feeling well. I get impatient if I'm sick too long. And I know how busy you stay so this is probably getting in the way of things you want to do. I hope your meds will get you better soon and you will be able to look back at this as just a bad memory one day.

  31. Hi Diana,
    You have had this crud for way too long. I sure hope and pray you get rid of it once and for all, and are back to your feisty old self soon! That is good news about your doctor friend. And I will have to join you at the hydrangea table for happy hour:) I love the winning table, but I still love my original pick the best, runner up #2! Oh, is your Hero not part of your entertainment???

  35. I love it! My pick is the winner....yay! They were all pretty and I'd be happy with any of them, actually. Hope you kick that bug to the curb real soon! Drink some pineapple juice and take lots of naps.

  36. My daughter is sick. So glad she got to go to Cuba on her Birthday and then back with us for her 50th as you seen. Now she has the coughing like you. Bummer. I kid her and tell her it is her hair cut she got. She got her hair cut off to her shoulders but wears it tad curly. I love it also.

    I missed your table deco also. Which table was picked. I like # 2 . I cant see the rest choices. It is hard choice as they all are dolled up. Mine I picked is a dress wedding table I presume. My daughter was born with those puckered lips. Not sure how she got them. I sure don't have them. And her's is real by the Lord. They used to call her lustrous lips all through high school. Get better soon.

    ReplyDelete
  37. That lip!!! She is such a peach! I'm glad that the doctor's tumor has not grown.....I will send out prayers for them both. And you...you rest up so you can finally kick this thing!!!! Hang in there friend! Nicole xoxo

  38. Sweet Cheeks is the funniest! You will be the star of the wedding - oh maybe that is what she is worried about haha!!
    I hope you get better soon.

  39. I'm not really sure I blame her on the wedding shunning. I think she knows you pretty well. I can't believe you are still sick. Especially after your nice warm vacation. Keep resting, my friend. xo Laura

  40. SweetCheeks is so cute! Love those pics! Praying these antibiotics will kick that infection to the curb for good. Get lots of rest and watch plenty of tv. :) I need to up my tv watching too...I just got an email from Netflix that my queue is empty. What?! How could I let that happen? I immediately added new movies. I'm a tv addict. :)

  42. I am sorry you still have to take Meds. Think a dose of true spring weather will be the best medicine!

    Take care, Janet W oxo

  49. Good to hear your friends' tumor is unchanged, I am so sorry to hear about you not being able to rid yourself of this infection. I'm sure they've done a culture and sensitivity to determined the right antiobiotic? I so hope you are well soon and Sweetchecks has you back in full swing soon!

  51. Oh Diana, I am so sorry that you are still sick. Please take care of your self, you don't want to end up with COPD. Poor SC she must really miss her Nana Diana. You are so close to her.
    Please take care of yourself and listen to the DR. Prayers are being sent your way and I am so happy that the Dr's cancer is not growing. Prayers do work.
