WHERE IS WALDO-ER-WHERE IS NANA DIANA?

Good Morning Blogger Friends!
Can you guess where I am?
Here's a picture to help you figure it out.
Know where I am?
Here's another hint.
It is somewhere that a window frames 
beautiful flowers that bloom in February.
Getting warmer?
Got a guess yet?

I was here the day they opened
October 1, 1971-
Does that help or just make me old?

Here's another hint.
They serve food from different countries.
And SOMEONE might get mad
if the "baby" of the family
tries to eat the last piece of pastry.
I think the quote was 
"Do you want to go to the moon, Alice?"
Anyone remember the show THAT saying
came from?
What do you suppose this little girl is looking at?
It might be something like this-
Getting warmer?
Do you know yet?

If you get too tired you can have
Daddy pick you and your ears up and
CARRY YOU!
Ummm...that "ride" only applies
for children-not Nana's!

How about this?
It's Ria with Papa-er- I mean Eeyore!
We met up with Eeyore here-
image
Ahhhh yes!
Some of you may have guessed where we are.
Do you know the 
VERY BEST PART
about 
BRUNCH in the CRYSTAL PALACE
at 
DISNEY WORLD?

It's the fact that they keep your
CUP FULL
of coffee!
Guess what kind it is~
STARBUCKS!
Yes! STARBUCKS!
Waiter-oh-waiter-
My cup is almost empty-
I am happy, very very happy!
AND feeling better day by day.

I'll be back soon.

Just an afternote:
If you think of it pray for a friend of mine.
I won't name her at this point but there is a
lot of upheaval going on in 
her and her husband's life.
Please pray that they find some peace and see 
A CLEAR PATH
laid out in front of them so they know 
that it will all turn out okay.
Thanks-
and as Mickey Says:
SEE YOU SOON!

Diana,
Lots of sunshine kissing your Grands faces, tanned skin in February, how cool is that. Enjoy your vacation. Sending my love to you and special prayers for a special couple are being said.

Kelly said...

How much fun! You deserve to be somewhere warm and relaxing with your loved ones around you after all you've been through with your sickness. I hope you are feeling better now and enjoying time spent with your family. I believe I know who you're talking about that needs prayers right now. We have been communicating about her situation and I feel SO bad for her right now. I feel in my gut though that things will work out. When one door closes, another one opens. Sometimes what we think is awful, turns out to be a blessing in disguise and God may have pushed this situation along to get them where they truly need to be. I like to think of it that way. I say that from my own experiences too. When I look back at things that I thought were negative they often turn out to be positive down the road.

Missing you and of course, will pray for your friend.

Diana, Nel and Jess say that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth! They would love this post! I've never been to Disney World, but Disneyland many times. I'm so glad you got a chance to go there, and you must be having a blast! So much to see and do. And isn't the grounds so green and groomed and magical?

Enjoy your time, and I will pray for your friend, Diana.

Hello Mickey!

love, ~Sheri

Lucky you! I hope you're enjoying yourself and truly feeling better! Love the pictures- especially the one with the girls looking out the window at the flowering shrubs!

Well. If Disney doesn't make you feel better, nothing will. Ah, the magic and curing properties of Starbucks, er I mean laughter. The children - yours and his - are awesome. Have fun, D!!! Hugs.

Yay! You're improving by the day. Hugs to you and a happy, healthFUL week,

Cranberry Morning said...

I am so glad that you're getting this fun time away and rest (rest?) Hopefully your body will be completely restored and you'll return with renewed energy and full health. Don't come back until the snow's gone. Just a warning. It's very disappointing to be in the wonders of Florida and then return to the land of endless snow. Just sayin'. Many blessings on you and your family, Diana.

Tete said...

M*I*C*K*E*Y M*O*U*S*E! The photos are wonderful and love SC's sunglasses. Glad you were feeling well enough to make the trip and didn't have to stay home.

Japolina said...

I think that Disney World is the worst place to try to rest! Seriously, I'm sure all of that fun is making you feel better. Enjoy!

Anonymous said...

That is nice but like Japolina said walking around so much. It would not of been the best choice if I was sick to rest. Ha-ha.

I guess your a tough gal.

I would chose the sun and the beach. When I was not even ill. I found that Disney was a world wind. Walk, walk, Glad it is working for you u Di. That is all that matters.

Patty Patterson said...

Are you at Disneyland? I have never been, but we are going in December. We have to wait that long to get reservations to eat with a princess or something like that. I'm not sure. My daughter is making the plans. It's all inclusive - so all I have to do it send some money and pack a bag.

Down On The Farm said...

Enjoy every second. I am praying for your friends. God never fails!

Joy Junktion said...

Well, the happiest place on earth is Definitely the place to heal! Glad you are beginning to feel better, Diana! Sending prayers your way as well as your 'friend' :) Blessings, Cindy xoxo

Judy at GoldCountryCottage said...

Diana, so glad you are feeling better and that that beautiful place is helping. I really couldn't guess where you were because I've never been there but the name is familiar. The girls must be having the time of their life and it will be a trip to remember for all of you..Happy Tuesday..Judy

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

So glad you are enjoying a vacation with the family! Hope you are feeling much better, too!

Feral Turtle said...

I can't believe I was thinking how it looked fairytale like and you were Snow White....and then voila, a picture of Snow White! How I wish I would have been in your suitcase! Hope you are having a wonderful time and a bottomless cup at Starbucks is unthinkable! Have FUN!! Hoping everything works out for your friends Diana.

Love to see those smiling faces! Looks like everyone had fun on your vacation, huh? What a blessing for all of you!

farmhouse-story said...

no better place to heal, relax and have some fun! enjoy, diana!!

Barbara @ 21 Rosemary Lane said...

Laughter is the BEST medicine Diana! And what better place to be on the mend. I remember eating at the Crystal Palace in Disney World only 6 months after it opened. I was in the 5th grade and our very first plane ride as a family was to Orlando Florida. I thought I was in the most magical place in the world. (And I was). Enjoy your time in paradise!
XO Barbara

Karen @ Beatrice Euphemie said...

Oh, such a fun place to recuperate! I've never been to Disney World, but it looks wonderful! Judging by those happy little girl smiles, you are all having a good time. I bet you don't ever want to come home.....Enjoy your magical vacation! xo Karen

Woo hoo! Have a great time! Took our kids there many many years ago and I still smile when I think of it.

ℳartina @ Northern Nesting said...

Lucky You!! Have a wonderful time...I know you are enjoying being there with the girls:-)

Sue said...

The "happiest" place on earth. Love it! We were just there in December and had the best time. One question though, where is your first picture taken? I'm thinking Epcot, because in all the times we've been there, we have spent so little time in the "lands" Next trip for sure!
I am sure you are enjoying it through your girls eyes, joy is always good medicine.

Pura Vida said...

have a happy sweet weekend Nana!

My Garden Diaries said...

One word for you.......PERFECT!!!! Have a great weekend friend!!! Nicole xoxo

Maureen Wyatt said...

There is no better place on earth to rediscover your inner child. It was my dad's favourite place and his photo albums of Disney World, that he entertained all the little kids with, was passed on to a grandson when he died.

Jean | DelightfulRepast.com said...

Diana, sounds like you're having a fabulous time! I'm so happy to hear that your x-rays are clear and that you are on the mend. Be patient. It can take a long time to get back to normal.

June said...

This is wonderful Diana. What fun! I loved every photo of your family having a great time. The one of the girls standing in the window is TOO cute!
Take care of yourself my dear as you continue to heal up.
sending love...
