I finally got the chance to meet Diana. She brought along her daughter and two granddaughters. This is Diana, Sweet Cheeks (As we have all come to know her) and me. It was a great day of visiting and learning more about each other. It was a day of making friends that already felt like family. I must say Diana is as pretty, smart and kind as all of you have suspected. A great crazy sense of humor (Say What ?) Her granddaughter S.C. has that same humor. I enjoyed them all so very much. We had a fun day , lots of laughs.
This is the granddaughter called Bright Eyes. Her eyes sparkle. She is trying on a big hair bow and seems to love it. What a cute face. Even at three she is funny too. I think Diana is passing her humor down the line. Her daughter told a hilarious story at lunch. Yes, Mindy with the beautiful red hair. So pretty. Looking forward to a time we can see each other again. Diana and I talked about how fun it would be to get together with others.
Diana is starting a whole new adventure in her new blog "A Cottage On The Cove ". She will maintain her Nana Diana Takes A Break blog also. I know we all wish her the very best.
I will close my post today with prayers for all in need. XO
Oh how lucky you are, I would love to met Diana someday. I love her blog and her humor.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, She is just like you would think, nice and so funny. She's easy to spot in a crowd...looks like Loni Anderson. I was thrilled she brought her granddaughters too. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI am so happy you all got together - how fun!!!!! Would love to have joined you all. Wishing you a blessed day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mildred. It would be so great if more and more of us could meet one another. Diana is a sweetheart. I wish you could have seen S.C. she's so funny for a little kid. Blessings to you this evening. xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo glad you got to meet Diana. She is an amazing women. Beautiful inside and out. We seriously all need to get together and have a great girls day. How fun would that be! I hope bright eyes got the flower it looked adorable on her. Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Kris, One day next year we will get together with Diana. It would be so much fun. I loved meeting her and her family. I know S.C. got her Nana to buy her a sweet shirt. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteAwwww, gee, how lucky of you to get to meet Diana and those sweet members of her family. I love the pics and you telling us about it. Would have loved to be there with you for not only the chance to meet her, but also to meet you, sweet Susie. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteNonnie, This was a great fun time. I was a bit nervous, because I have wanted to meet Diana for a long time...she is the first person to leave a comment on my blog. She even gave me pointers on blogging once. The time went too fast. We would love to meet you too. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a fun gathering! I'm glad you had a nice time! Have a wondeful weekend Susie!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pilar. Hope your weekend is filled with fun things. I am going to take it easy for a day or two...next week I have projects to complete. Blessings to you honey, xoxo, Susie
DeleteShe is a very neat lady and I enjoy her family and her sense of humor. I have visited her new adventure and wish her well. I am glad that you got to meet her. Hugs and Prayers Your friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteShirley, There never seems to be enough time when we are with family or friends. I loved meeting Diana and her family. They are so nice and kind.I think Diana is smart enough to make her new business work fine. Blessings to you dear, hope you are getting better and better every day. Love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWell, there we are---two old broads and the 'babies'. lol It was so much fun meeting you. I felt like I had known you for years and years.
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember what story Mindy told but it was probably at my expense. lol
SweetCheeks has grown up so much and now we have another 'little' coming along that reminds us of her at that age.
I would love it if a bunch of midwestern bloggers could meet up and just hang out and talk (and laugh). I really think some of us ought to group together to plan something like that.
Love to you, Susie. I hope to see you more often now that my daughter lives not too far from you. xo Diana
Hey girl, I think we look swell. LOL. I think some of us in blog land are sisters ...as much as being blood sisters. S.C. is growing like our Emma...way too fast..they will be almost too busy when they get to be teens. I miss our girl.
DeleteYour daughter told the story of the swimming pool and babies. I think you both were telling it . :):) I wish we could have a convention of bloggers. LOL. Yes, we will get together again some time. Blessings for a great weekend, love you , xoxo, Susie
Oh!!!! That's so great!!!! Two wonderful bloggers together in one place! And Sweetcheeks and Bright Eyes, too! Life is so cool! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenn. It was so fun to see S.C. after seeing all the cute funny photos that Diana has posted thru the years. Little bright eyes was adorable. I bet I smile the whole week long after meeting Diana. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWHOA!! You got to meet Diana, Sweet Cheeks AND Bright Eyes?! You lucky, lucky gal!! That is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou have made my day showing me the photos on this post! THank you!!
Kay, It did seem like family meeting someone we have blog with for years. I felt like the little ones could be my own grands. LOL. Diana is truly a sister in blogland. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow! Two amazing lovely ladies meeting! What a gift this blog friendship is!!! Sounds like you both had a fun-fun day!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Thank you Gert. It was a great surprise and fun time. We are family here in blogland. So many years of reading about each others' lives ...it was not clumsy meeting up, more like a sister luncheon. Wish you could have joined us. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHow lucky you and Diana are to have met up. Those grandkids feel like littles I have known forever! So glad you guys had a great day together. And yes! Let's try to meet up! Some place central...perhaps my lakehouse in S.W. Michigan next summer?
ReplyDeleteJane x
Blondie, It was truly a fun time meeting Diana and her family in person. We have read about each other so much, it was more like a family lunch. I love meeting the children too. I have watched them grow thru Diana's blog. It would be great if we could have a gathering of local bloggers. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, a new beginning to a wonderful friendship...how sweet this is!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteJP, I had the chance to meet Kris of Junk Chic Cottage in the spring and Diana at Horton's fall market. Two beautiful talented ladies. Kris and Diana have meet together in Chicago . It was a great time. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

DeleteOh, I would LOVE to get together with you! I love Diana too! Remember I'm not too far away! Enjoy this gorgeous Saturday. Thank you for visiting me today. xo
ReplyDeletePatty, You need to come to Horton's in Tipton when they have their market days. The Christmas Open House is on Saturday, November 4th and the Christmas Vender Market is Saturday December 2nd.. Next Spring when they have the First market day of the season...maybe Diana (Nana Diana Takes A Break) and Kris(Junk Chic Cottage) will come to Tipton to Horton's. I will let you know early and you can join us. Also Cindy of Bee Lady Of Hilltop Farm. All are so fun . I just told Diane of Lavender Dreams to visit your blog...she is making little journal books. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat fun to meet Diana and some of her girls..She is a special person for sure..Wouldn't it be fun if a bunch of us could get together..Love my blog friends..
ReplyDeleteMissy, I would love to have a convention where bloggers could meet . I know that Carol (Buttercup) who lives in NYC goes to meet other bloggers at gatherings. Diana was just the same as she appears in her blog. The children seem like my own grandchildren. Kids are the same everywhere, I guess. I truly enjoyed our time together.Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou lucky, lucky girl! Diana is a joy!!! So glad you two were able to connect and spend some time together!
ReplyDeleteI've missed you and your sweet thoughts and hugs to Landon!

DeleteI'm glad you ladies had a fun time. A very cute little girl!
ReplyDeletePaul, It was a fun time. It's nice to meet people you know thru blogging. Diana was the 1st to leave a comment on my blog. She's like a sister now. Those granddaughters of hers were so darn cute and funny. Hope you are doing well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWell, how fun to meet up like that...Diana is a sweetheart!

DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteFUN! Diana is a fun blog buddy. It is great you got to meet her and her family.
Carla
Carla, It was a great time with Diana and her family. Please remember today her son in law needs prayers for his surgery. Diana has always been a prayer warrior for many of us. She is a sweet kind person. Funny is a plus. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm sure you both had a ball getting to know each other. I would have loved to have been right in the middle of all of the fun! Diana and you look so pretty! I've always been envious of her gorgeous hair! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia;)

Yes, wouldn't it be nice to meet all our friends we have in common?
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, It actually felt like I had known them for years. As we have been blog family since I started blogging. It was fun to see the little ones, although S.C. was as tall young girl for being 10. She was funny too. Blessings to you, love you, xoxo, Susie
Deletep.s. can't wait till we meet one day.
Susie- I am down at Mindy's today while Jason is having his surgery. Headed home tomorrow in a rush so won't get to see you. What fun to read all the wonderful comments here. Our blogging friends are some of the best in the world aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day. I will do a post tonight after we know more about Jason's surgery. xo Diana
Diana, It has been such fun to read the comments. Our blog friends are our blog family. I am so thankful for each one. Their prayers have helped each other and us. I know your SIL is in their prayers and good thoughts...and I send mine too. I understand your busy. I went to Liz's today and was wore out when I got home.Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWe are all so envious! How wonderful to get to meet Nana Diana and some of her sweet family. I would love to meet her...AND to meet YOU!!! What fun it would be. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, We sure would have some fun together. LOL...only I do not know if my feet would keep up with yours. LOL. Diana was just like she is on her blog...kind, funny and smart. I actually could have cried seeing how Sweet Cheeks has grown. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHow exciting that you got to meet Diana and her daughter and grand daughters! You all must have had a blast! Bright Eyes is so darn cute, and it feels like SweetCheeks has grown up right before our eyes here in blog land. I would love to meet Diana some day, she is such a sweetheart and a kindred spirit for sure!! Lucky you to meet them all!
ReplyDeleteDonna, It was an exciting meeting...at least I know I was excited to meet Diana. She was so sweet and kind...just like we knew she would be. Yes, Sweet Cheeks is growing up and I just wanted to cry thinking about how quickly that happene in front of our very own eyes. It was like family , since we have been blogging together for so many years now. Blondie at Blondie's Journal said we should all meet one day in Michigan near her lake house. LOL. what a fun time that could be. I enjoyed my time with Diana and her family. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI thought I had commented on this post, but it didn't publish or the gremlins stole it. :) I am so envious of you and Diana! It would be fun to meet both of you dear ladies. I love ya both. You are so sweet to everyone as is Diana. And you both are so pretty! What fun that must have been to get together. I'd love to see Horton's too. Have a nice weekend! xo Cheryl
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I loved Diana and her family. I felt like I had known them forever. I wish we could have a convention of bloggers ...it would be so fun to meet all of you. Diana did get some of the fudge from Horton's. We went to lunch together and had some great laughs. Maybe one day...Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteDiana told me she got to meet you! How much fun is that? And SC and Mindy and bright eyes! Wow- she said you took her to Horton's! She said it was like you had always been friends and it was one the easiest meet and greets. So happy for all of you...now for us to get together....LOL.
ReplyDeleteTete, I was thrilled to meet Diana. I hope we can get together again , since her daughter lived so near. I want her to meet Teddy Bear...he was out of town the day we met . She like the Horton's store too. I honestly felt like S.C. was just another of my own grands, as I have seen her grown through the years. Time is a funny thing, it gets by us way too quickly. I have often thought of meeting you if I ever get that way. Diana needs to get a Bus , she could drive around picking us bloggers and we could get away for a weekend. LOL. Try to talk her into that would you. :):) Blessings to you my friend, xoxo, Susie
