Glad you are feeling better. Your poor dog looks worn out! I'll be waiting to hear all about your vacation, hope you have great weather for it. Take care!
Oh no, I hope you are feeling better, Jane. I know how you look forward to going up to the lake house. Bummer to get there and then get sick. You must be excited for your trip. I'll be heading back to NY for a visit soon, but I'm hoping to grab a week with hubby sometime this summer to go away. Even for a long weekend.
When you are sick you just want to be home ~ I know exactly what you mean. Glad to hear that you are feeling better, Milo reminds me of Molly after being down at the cottage ~ I think she is glad to see us go to work so she can sleep the next day non stop. Have a good week getting your errands done and loose ends tied up! xo
I hate being sick! Sorry you had to get sick and that it happened during your weekend getaway. Hope you are feeling back to normal.

sorry to hear you were under the weather this weekend, hopefully it was short lived bug and you will be all well now, take care and have a wonderfilled trip!
Well, that's crummy...you go to the lake to enjoy it and then get sick. I am glad it passed quickly though...and better now ..and not on vacation. Sounds like you got quite a bit done anyway. Or, at least it sounds like POWERWASHERMAN got a ton done! xo Diana

Poor Janie! I'm so sorry you were so sick but glad you're a new woman now! Sorry you didn't get to enjoy your lakehouse like you would have wanted. Sounds like your hubby got everything all fixed up and ready for summer. You take care and let little Milo rest! :) Be a sweetie, Shelia ;)
You poor girl! Of course there's no place like home when you're under the weather. But I'm glad you're back on your feet and almost ready for your vacay! I'm looking forward to seeing your travel pics, Jane! :)
Oh that will be so much fun Jane! When I see the lake pics, it makes me want to come visit again! Sorry you weren't feeling well, but you sure got a lot done for a sick gal. looking forward to Galena! Can't wait to see all of your trip pics too, Hugs, Cindy
I know how you felt, I had a cold which turned into bronchitis which isn't fun, just no energy at all! We are leaving on the 26th for Cabo, Mexico and I'm totally not ready!
Hi Jane, I know how you have felt because I had something similar to it and my allergies are giving me fits. I love the fresh flowers, but they don't like me. I am glad you are taking your lap top, so we can hear about your trip on the road. I don't know if we will get a vacation this year and if we do it will be late fall. I enjoyed reading your blog tonight. Take care Hugs from Your Missouri Friend.
Oh I hope you have escaped the FLU, not a fun thing to have AT ALL! Enjoy your day and I can't wait to hear all about your trip! BIG HUGS to you my friend!
Gosh dear one, don't be sick now! I'm looking forward so much to our lunch next week. Actually I've been under the weather too - this is the first day in a week that I feel good.
I'll be packing my small bag at the weekend ready to head to the mountains......see you there.
Oh Jane, that is lousy you had to be sick while at the lake. It's always nice to be back in your regular bed when you are feeling bad. Hope your trip is a fun one!~Hugs, Patti
Glad that nasty bug didn't hang around for too long. There is so much going around here, from tummy troubles to strep. Fortunately the worst I've had to deal with recently has been allergies. Love all the pics you shared! :)
So glad you are feeling better, dear heart. There's no place like home and your own bed when you are feeling bad. I wish I had a lake house. Daughter and family just bought a large motor home to put at the lake about 5 hrs from us. Maybe Mr. Sweet and I can go see them for a few days. I LOVE the water. Take good care and eat another ribeye as soon as you can...they give ya energy.:))
I'm so sorry you weren't feeling well, but you still got a ton of stuff accomplished! I have had dental woes lately as I had to have an implant! Bummer! But all is well! I hope you have fun on your trip! We are headed to the beach in Florida for a week June 2 Can't wait! I NEED IT!
Oh, that's too bad you didn't feel well Jane, especially when I'm sure you wanted to enjoy your time at the lake. Glad to hear you are feeling more energized and ready for a big trip!
Sorry to hear that you were under the weather while you were at the lake, but it sounds like the two of you were able to get quite a bit done. Hope you have a wonderful trip and I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.
Oooh...I hate feeling sick when traveling, yuck! Your puppy cracks me up, we recently went out of town & took our dog who always forgoes her all day naps for fear we might leave her behind in a strange place. When we get back home, it's Zzzzzzz city for her!~TJ
Oh Jane I hope you are feeling better now...but so glad you were able to rest. What a sweet hubby you have. And your pup is adorable...he does look like he just konked out on the couch! Lol Hope your trip is a good one! Bless you!
Hope you are over whatever you had, Jane. Are your cushions fabric? How did you dry them?

I already commented on this post but I just dropped by to tell you my blog has been deleted and my email hacked.I caught a virus when visitng a friends blog the other day, a tag a long virus, it sneaked past our Norton security, I will still visit you though, take care
Hope you are feeling chipper for your trip. I was dealing with some type of virus for over three weeks. Felt crummy and no energy. Take care and get better. Look forward to your photos and posts from the road.
So glad you were able to take a trip to your lake house, Jane. Sorry you weren't feeling well. Sounds like your hubby took care of things for you tho. Hope you are all better now. xxoo
Glad you are feeling better, sounds like you have much to do before your vacation. Your fur babies make me smile...when we do yard work ours stay out with us and the next day they sleep all day. Wish I could do that too! Stay well and can't wait to see your vacation photos! Miss Bloomers

[Image]These pictures were taken at the lake yesterday. We escaped Sunday morning and took the dogs with us. Layla loves to perch on the settee and watch the fish jump, turtles swim by or the daily visit from the swans. She likes to be outdoors but I think she's rather be in when I'm in, and unfortunately, I was in most of the time.
[Image]By late Sunday afternoon, I started to feel like I was coming down with the flu, sweating, then chills, dizziness, sick to my stomach. I sat on my rocking chair (from where these pictures were taken ), with a wool blanket around me. Meanwhile, The Husband worked and worked and worked some more. On his hands and knees, he pulled weeds from between the cobblestones of the patio, swept it all up and power washed it as well as the table and chairs. I went to bed early and thankfully when I woke up yesterday morning I felt much better. I had some coffee and then cleaned the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. I got dressed and made an attempt to put on makeup but I was starting to feel the fatigue again. I sat on my rocker and read and The Husband toiled some more.
[Image]I was so happy to cut some rosemary to bring inside. I started to feel better and went outside and cleaned the cushions to the patio chairs. Girls, Oxy Clean works like a charm. Of course, The Husband had a go at them with his power washer (his favorite toy) and they look like new. I took a little nap and when I woke up I felt a little more energized so I went in to town and picked up some provisions for dinner:
[Image]Two nice rib eye steaks, fresh broccoli and baby red potatoes. I had a good appetite and had a good size amount of butter on everything :)
[Image]I cleaned the kitchen and The Husband put all of his tools and toys away and we got on the road to come home. I was really looking forward to sleeping in my "own" bed, I still wasn't feeling 100% better. It must have been a touch of the flu. Abby had it on Sunday, too. The lake is home to me, but when you are sick, you really want to be HOME. I slept like a baby and was up early. I feel wonderful!
[Image]Now Milo on the other hand, has a hard time adjusting. He never stops when he's up at the lake and wants to be by The Husband's side at all times. He hasn't moved a muscle all day! He is in his favorite spot where he likes to sit as a guard dog, but it looks like he collapsed!
I feel our trip fast approaching. I did five loads of laundry already today and I have 2 more to go. I have a dental appointment tomorrow and a hair appointment Thursday. I need to decide what to pack, do some grocery shopping for the girls and have all the loose ends tied up. I'm bringing my laptop with so I will post from the road! I hope all of you are having a wonderful week! :-)

I so agree about needing your home bed over the cottage when you don't feel well.
Glad to hear you are feeling better and gearing up for your trip.
