Well, it 61° and raining softly in So Cal. It's been raining gently most of the night, and the ground is pretty wet. Don't have any idea of the total that fell though. Should clear up later and warm up to around 70°.
I looked out through the vertical blinds onto the patio, and that caused a Hummingbird to move...it has been perched on a half-dead branch of a Geranium just soaking up the rain. They originated in the rain forests of S. America and love a good shower-bath when they can get one.
No, it just seems like I do, go thru them once or twice a year, think I'm going to fit back in some stuff, that doesn't usually happen.....found some stuff from dry-cleaners, still wrapped, not supposed to keep it wrapped, dress from, 1993.....:):):)
Mits anyone I'm on the florida eagle cam. I've been driving in and have located some kind of bird. Look at the cam it's moving some not by me. The bird is perched on a branch.
I did too but then someone else seems to be trying to go in on the bird. When they do I see a white head and white as it would be a tail. Maybe this is an eagle after all. Mits have you driven the cam to try to focus in on this???
Where you are on the cam is: I taked at the nest, went to my right (left arrow) then used the I think buttom arrow to get across the water and found these birds.
I didn't see a white head or tail, but who knows, saw the eagles in a far off tree the other night, and someone was trying to get close, there looks like an owl that visits on a lower branch after sundown every night, might keep the eagles away.
Wow that was neat but I have to tell you driving that cams gives you a headache. All that jumping around even when you stop it. I felt so drunk I almost headed to the "head"....:(
Anne however fully attends to come to Open House and I am sure will be giving you a wonderful narrated tour at that time. She and I will reschedule the cruise for another time for those needing to watch from a distance.
Good Beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon Folks... I have been in 7th heaven the last hour or so.. son dropped Jasmin off so i could watch her while he goes to Lowes and helps daughter buy new stove n refrigerator... Soo i have been busy taking pictures of Jasmin and Diana together...haha watch mail for up coming pictures soon...Both are sleeping now after getting full bellies... I was thinking about going to Bingo tonight in Hagerstown... Yup our cam is that shade of blue with colored lines above... But we all know Steven will have it fixed and up and running before the real season begins.... Great to see Sharon have her comp back... Oh Sharon i bought new jammies...lol BBL today...
Dana your so right about this being over.. you know there was never any question in my mind... Johns father took Jasmin now knowen as Jazzie shopping last night and bought her alot of things... Jenny and John seem to be working things out with the time each share her...
I am back and then I'm gone again.. When I did see the cam - someone earlier had me going thru the trees or tall grasses - I couldn't tell which? Hi Sharon I know you must be making up time lost at work Closet Cluster drives me crazy when I can't find what I want & I know I put it in there! Go Mits Have a peaceful panda nap, Dana! You'll feel so good when you finish it! Bet you're having a ball, Nilla! Going to be good weather tomorrow for you at the Colorfest, Paula! I bet you can get KettleCorn there.
MMmmmm, kettle corn, caramel apples, apple dumplings, pit beef, italian sausage, crabcakes, soup, fruit smoothies, and my personal favorite....DEEP FRIED OREOS...lots of great food at Colorfest!!
I guess I hadn't been on earlier to notice the view had changed..Except I can't see the river! We had a long Mass - Stewardship! Chilled down out there again tonight
I did have an email from Anne.... Yes I am still in Oregon but will go home early in the morning. I have to be at work on Monday. things are improving here..Tell everyone I'm just fine just tired and will be happy to get home. I will be in DC on the Friday, then straight to Martinsburg. I may have to come there to get a rest
On the Frodocam, I believe that one of the Q & A ccmments dealt with that, and Greg said they had installed new equipment before the nesting season, and he can control the camera remotely from his computer.
Hey, Wanda, I think the cam will be down every weekend until they resolve whatever security issues they have found. Sounds like any business or government organization...the security of the whole system can be compromised by a small, innocent-looking item. But I'm sure there are ways around the problem if they want to spend the time and money to do it.
Jim-I think the main problem with the camera is the photo cell and the weather. The way I understand it the photo cell is needed to collect sunlight to power the camera and they don't have it yet. And something else isn't in yet. Don't know why it only happens on weekends unless it is something that can be reset from NCTC which is only open on weekdays. I am sure once all the parts are there and put in things will be better.
Yes Jim they put them in some kind of batter and fry them. Might be the batter they use for funnel cakes or donuts. I tasted one this summer. Didn't see the big attraction really. And it was so greasy, almost made me sick.
Granddaughter just left me with a bag full of assorted Hershey candies for my Birhtday. I know we are not suppose to be eating Hershey products, but there are mini Reese cups and Hershey bars with peanuts in that bag and they are among my favorites. I must eat them. Sorry.....
Good evening, what a lovely night tonight. We all went on the Haunted Trail and had a great time well Tori and the spooked youngest nephew didn't, Tori struggled with the hike through the trail as it was an incline and the nephew was scared, maybe it was wrong but we couldn't stop laughing (mean aunt. So we sent them back in one of the Golf Carts.
I have tried a fried oreo and liked it, now corn on the cob fried is pretty awesome too had that at the Ventura Fair a few years ago.
No Wanda, no batter,they fry it in the husk. At first I was like EWWW gross lol but after I tried it I loved it. From what I understand you can flavor it too.
Maybe Jim heard of it since I had it in Cali maybe it is common there
No, Robyn, Wanda, I don't recall hearing about it that way either. I guess if they can deep fry a turkey, why not corn? Do they deep fry the turkey stuffing too?
Some of those other things Paula mentioned...like crab cakes...sound delicious. How about Pit Beef? What's that, pit barbeque?
The most delicious barbeque I ever had was at St. James Church in Del Mar every summer. They always had a festival to raise money for the building fund, and one of the old parishioners, Jake ...., had a way of wrapping the beef and pork in burlap soaked with his special sauce and roasting it all night in a covered pit... Good thing it was at a church, because you thought you had died and gone to heaven.
I stopped in aminute Jill had abig day with Jazzy and went to daughters and you would have thought we were having a family reunion so many family was there... Loved it!!!! Its chilly out poor Brutus whole way home i had him wrapped in a blanket keeping him warm.. going to Pet Smart for him a winter coat soon.... well got my jammies on and going to go to bed and watch tv under the covers.. with Brutus and Sugaah of course...Brutus snuggled under my chin.. and Sugahhh at bottom of bed... Good Night sweet eagle dreams and a wonderful Sunday to all... Nilla
Howdy Jill and Jim... Jill couldnt leave without checking ERJ before the change over time..lol Jill your not amaking it to Open House?? But you can dinner is that correct??? Jim i watched Petes Pond alot last year seen it afew times so far this year... saw Fatty sunin on the beach .. well son just called and seems he is having atime with JAZZY GETTING HER TO GO TO SLEEP AND WANTS GRANMAW TO COME DOWN N get her to sleep..lol i am off im jammies n all .. Byeeeeee
I need to write a report on blended families and I am lacking experience in that department... at least for today so here I am searching the internet... soon to be crosseyed
Good Sunday Morning to all you Eagle and other watchers out there. Just checked in for a minute while I wait for my husband to get ready for mass to read yesterdays blog and to check in on our nest. I forgot it would be blue. Oh well. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
GOOD MORNING WANDA! Just checked back in for a minute while I wait for my husband. Good to see you are up and ready to start the day, and getting the coffee ready for you and Gene. I guess he is the sleepyhead this morning.
PANDAS ARE UP IN DC already out chomping on breakfast.
Hardly any fish in Bonaire.
Pete's Pond is having an nice cloudless day. Looks like a huge tirtle in the middle of pond laying on a rock. That is a first for me. Birds are busy cheeping.
Hey folks. Yes Nilla I will be at dinner if nothing else. Only time will tell if I am able to come to anything else and then it might be in and out. Since it is AH things should be quiet at least during the parade so I might sneak out and meet you for lunch too. SHHHHH.
Robyn-what kind of blended family? Racially blended or just stepfamilies??????
Well Robyn what do you need to know? I have experience in nice and nasty blended families. And when you get to dysfunctional, well, I am pretty sure my family wrote the book. LOL
or maybe there is the HR department and deciding if we go with an outside agency or doing it in-house to evaluate the organizations strength and weakneses by doing a 360 feedback analysis lol Today is going to be the longest day of my life yet lol

Jim
BBILW - I keep thinking it is Sun!
Good ole' Sat! I have some things that need to get done........
Me too, cleaned out 1 closet, heading to another.
Good Afternoon eveyone.
Been checking out cams and reading comments.
Nilla I am so so happy it is over for John. Now he knows he is Daddy just like you said..
Mits - do you have a lot of closets? :)
No, it just seems like I do, go thru them once or twice a year, think I'm going to fit back in some stuff, that doesn't usually happen.....found some stuff from dry-cleaners, still wrapped, not supposed to keep it wrapped, dress from, 1993.....:):):)
Mits anyone I'm on the florida eagle cam. I've been driving in and have located some kind of bird.
Look at the cam it's moving some not by me. The bird is perched on a branch.
It moves its head but I had to go across the water and magified it. That's how I found the bird.
Well someone else has controls now they too are trying to fix in on the bird I found.
Which I could take a picture.
can't tell, Dana, cam is shaking too much, thought it looked like a heron though.
They are way out of focus now, Dana
I did too but then someone else seems to be trying to go in on the bird. When they do I see a white head and white as it would be a tail. Maybe this is an eagle after all. Mits have you driven the cam to try to focus in on this???
It looks like two birds
Paula or MIts are you driving the cam now?
Can't tell, pic is too fuzzy...ya can't zoom that close!
I was trying to zoom it out, Dana...it's too fuzzy that close in
Where you are on the cam is: I taked at the nest, went to my right (left arrow) then used the I think buttom arrow to get across the water and found these birds.
And the controls are backwards, too, up is down, left is right
I was wondering about that, Paula...thought it was me, driving the wrong way:).
Starting to get woozy watching it now...
that used to be one of my favorite cams, but it gives me a headache now.
Yes I found that out when driving.
lol I've not been driving for awhile now and I too eyes are making me feel drunk....
Ok I'm sticking with my first idea......that was definately a longgggg neck !!
I didn't see a white head or tail, but who knows, saw the eagles in a far off tree the other night, and someone was trying to get close, there looks like an owl that visits on a lower branch after sundown every night, might keep the eagles away.
Wow that was neat but I have to tell you driving that cams gives you a headache. All that jumping around even when you stop it. I felt so drunk I almost headed to the "head"....:(
Yep Paula
arrow pointing down = up
arrow pointing up = down
arrow pointing right= left
arrow pointing left = right
for movements on driving the florida cam.
its enough to make me head to other cams:).
Storm in the background of WAVE-LIT AFICAM.
Well I'm heading off to play a game. After all that focusing I need to try something else for awhile.
lunch break over, heading back to work.
I THINK I AM BACK!!!!
WHY YES, YOU ARE.....HOW'S THE PUTER DOING?????
Alaska Cruise in chatroom tonight has been postponed.
Anne however fully attends to come to Open House and I am sure will be giving you a wonderful narrated tour at that time. She and I will reschedule the cruise for another time for those needing to watch from a distance.

EWWWIIEE AT BW.
2 EWWIIEES NOW
Dawn at Brisbane, Frieda has not been near Dolly for most of the night.
Good to see Sharon and Nilla came in.
I think I'm going to panda nap lol
Frieda is back.
I am back and then I'm gone again..
When I did see the cam - someone earlier had me going thru the trees or tall grasses - I couldn't tell which? Hi Sharon I know you must be making up time lost at work
Closet Cluster drives me crazy when I can't find what I want & I know I put it in there! Go Mits
Have a peaceful panda nap, Dana! You'll feel so good when you finish it! Bet you're having a ball, Nilla! Going to be good weather tomorrow for you at the Colorfest, Paula! I bet you can get KettleCorn there.
Well, I am due out of here again in an hour - best get ready for Mass.
MMmmmm, kettle corn, caramel apples, apple dumplings, pit beef, italian sausage, crabcakes, soup, fruit smoothies, and my personal favorite....DEEP FRIED OREOS...lots of great food at Colorfest!!
Good Lord, that sounds good and weather is just going to be perfect.
going to do mass tonight, like you, Jo.
Jo-they had a beautiful eagle 2008 calendar at the FSK Mall. Near the bookstore. Might want to check it out.
Did you get me one for Christmas? lol
In my 68 years I have yet to have
DEEP FRIED OREOS! What have I been missing here?
I have returned from Mass. I had not been to Burger King for 3 months - so we stopped & I had my double cheeseburger! Fries even tasted good.
OK, sign me up for caramel apples, kettle corn, crabcakes, and I never had a deep fried Oreo either, but how can it be anything but good?
Well at least it sounds interesting and I bet it is pretty simple to make
I still have some german chocolate cake left from yesterday... I'm going to hit it very shortly! with ice cream.
7 new picture galleries on Brisbane
They have changed the view at Brisbane, and it is Sunday, wonder who is working?
I guess I hadn't been on earlier to notice the view had changed..Except I can't see the river!
We had a long Mass - Stewardship!
Chilled down out there again tonight
I did have an email from Anne....
Yes I am still in Oregon but will go home early in the morning. I have to be at work on Monday. things are improving here..Tell everyone I'm just fine just tired and will be happy to get home. I will be in DC on the Friday, then straight to Martinsburg. I may have to come there to get a rest
BBL.....
Hi, everybody....
On the Frodocam, I believe that one of the Q & A ccmments dealt with that, and Greg said they had installed new equipment before the nesting season, and he can control the camera remotely from his computer.
How's everybody doing tonight??
Jim
HI JIM,--
I think everyone is tuckered out tonight. Maybe exasperated because our cam is down again.
No Jo didn't get you one for Christmas, guy said they had been open a week, figured you had already zeroed in on it. LOL
Sorry, can't stand the thought of deep fried Oreos. BLAHHHH. Just not give me plain old Oreos and milk.
HI JILL--Feeling better?
Hey, Wanda,
I think the cam will be down every weekend until they resolve whatever security issues they have found. Sounds like any business or government organization...the security of the whole system can be compromised by a small, innocent-looking item. But I'm sure there are ways around the problem if they want to spend the time and money to do it.
Jim
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!
Hi, Jill,
Oreos also go good with fresh coffee, hot chocolate, tea, lemonade, Coke, apple juice, Dr. Pepper, OJ..............
Jim
Doing fine Wanda.
Jim-I think the main problem with the camera is the photo cell and the weather. The way I understand it the photo cell is needed to collect sunlight to power the camera and they don't have it yet. And something else isn't in yet. Don't know why it only happens on weekends unless it is something that can be reset from NCTC which is only open on weekdays. I am sure once all the parts are there and put in things will be better.
But I don't believe I like the sound of deep fried Oreos either...do they batter dip them?
Tempura?
Jim
Jim-I don't care what you do with the Oreos, just don't fry them. LOL.
ORANGE JUICE?????????? Doesn't sound like a good combo but still better than frying them.
Good night, Mits. Have a good one.
Jim
Yes Jim they put them in some kind of batter and fry them. Might be the batter they use for funnel cakes or donuts. I tasted one this summer. Didn't see the big attraction really. And it was so greasy, almost made me sick.
I've had them with OJ, and the chocolate and orange blend pretty well.
Jim
Sounds to me like Jim would eat an Oreo with a glass of water. He just simply LIKES OREOS.
Yeah, Jill, there are a lot of things I don't want deep fried, and Oreos are at the top of the list.
Jim
Could be, Wanda, although I would probably use the water as a chaser...doesn't sound too good together.
However, if it's Oreos and water, or no Oreos............
Jim
Granddaughter just left me with a bag full of assorted Hershey candies for my Birhtday. I know we are not suppose to be eating Hershey products, but there are mini Reese cups and Hershey bars with peanuts in that bag and they are among my favorites. I must eat them. Sorry.....
It's almost dawn at Pete's Pond, and you can see the bats darting around trying to fill up on insects for the day.
Jim
Good evening, what a lovely night tonight. We all went on the Haunted Trail and had a great time well Tori and the spooked youngest nephew didn't, Tori struggled with the hike through the trail as it was an incline and the nephew was scared, maybe it was wrong but we couldn't stop laughing (mean aunt. So we sent them back in one of the Golf Carts.
I have tried a fried oreo and liked it, now corn on the cob fried is pretty awesome too had that at the Ventura Fair a few years ago.
Wanda did you say Birthday? Happy Birthday :)
Thank you Robyn. Did you say fried corn on the cob? Do you batter that?
Don't know about the fried corn on the cob either, but I love corn fritters, hush puppies or anything like that.
Jim
No Wanda, no batter,they fry it in the husk. At first I was like EWWW gross lol but after I tried it I loved it. From what I understand you can flavor it too.
Maybe Jim heard of it since I had it in Cali maybe it is common there
Ok I take that back, maybe Jim never heard of it lol
How about it, Jim. Have you ever tried corn that way?
Robyn, you should write a cookbook.
No, Robyn, Wanda, I don't recall hearing about it that way either. I guess if they can deep fry a turkey, why not corn? Do they deep fry the turkey stuffing too?
Jim
No, no cookbook lol, my specialties are homemade BBQ sauces, I even have a name picked out if I ever decide to bottle some.
I think I ate too much chocolate. I need to go to bed and sleep it off. lol....
GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL
SLEEP WELL.
Here I am - coming in to say good night to all of you - when I hear Wanda say B-Day candy.
Are you a libra, WANDA?
I guess I'll find out tomorrow..
Good night all
Pleasant dreams & peaceful sleep
Some of those other things Paula mentioned...like crab cakes...sound delicious. How about Pit Beef? What's that, pit barbeque?
The most delicious barbeque I ever had was at St. James Church in Del Mar every summer. They always had a festival to raise money for the building fund, and one of the old parishioners, Jake ...., had a way of wrapping the beef and pork in burlap soaked with his special sauce and roasting it all night in a covered pit... Good thing it was at a church, because you thought you had died and gone to heaven.
Jim
Good night, Wanda, Mema Jo.
Jim
Okay, I had a 3 hour nap, who is going to stay up with me???????LOL
Pit Beef or Pork is great. Either with a vinegar sauce or a barbeque sauce. Friend from NC makes a great vinegar mopping sauce.
I do 3 hr naps occasionally, Jill, followed by a big cup of hot coffee. Then I wonder why I can't seem to get to sleep nights.
Jim
Do you watch Pete's Pond, Jill?
It's just early sun in the morning now.
Jim
I stopped in aminute Jill had abig day with Jazzy and went to daughters and you would have thought we were having a family reunion so many family was there... Loved it!!!! Its chilly out poor Brutus whole way home i had him wrapped in a blanket keeping him warm.. going to Pet Smart for him a winter coat soon.... well got my jammies on and going to go to bed and watch tv under the covers.. with Brutus and Sugaah of course...Brutus snuggled under my chin.. and Sugahhh at bottom of bed... Good Night sweet eagle dreams and a wonderful Sunday to all... Nilla
Drinking my coffee and working on 2 reports Jill so I will be here till my head is ready to fall down on the keypad of laptop.
Howdy Jill and Jim... Jill couldnt leave without checking ERJ before the change over time..lol Jill your not amaking it to Open House?? But you can dinner is that correct??? Jim i watched Petes Pond alot last year seen it afew times so far this year... saw Fatty sunin on the beach

Good night, Nilla...
I used to know a nice older lady with a Chihuahua, who would knit little coats for the dog.
Jim
Night Nilla sry, overlooked you as I have so many different programs up and running.
I need to write a report on blended families and I am lacking experience in that department... at least for today so here I am searching the internet... soon to be crosseyed
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE/RISE TO A GOOD SUNDAY MORNING...
JIM
Good Sunday Morning to all you Eagle and other watchers out there. Just checked in for a minute while I wait for my husband to get ready for mass to read yesterdays blog and to check in on our nest. I forgot it would be blue. Oh well. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
GOOD MORNING CANDY
hope you have a beautiful day.
TTYT
OH and BTY you can all have the deep fried Oreo cookies. I just can't imagine that. Oreo's and milk are for me.
GOOD MORNING WANDA! Just checked back in for a minute while I wait for my husband. Good to see you are up and ready to start the day, and getting the coffee ready for you and Gene. I guess he is the sleepyhead this morning.
DOLLY is curled up in her corner in Brisband all alone.
BW is MT
Bai and Squiggles are sound asleep. Should be getting ready for breakfast pretty soon.
PANDAS ARE UP IN DC already out chomping on breakfast.
Hardly any fish in Bonaire.
Pete's Pond is having an nice cloudless day. Looks like a huge tirtle in the middle of pond laying on a rock. That is a first for me. Birds are busy cheeping.
Humungous big black birds on the shore of Africa in wavlit. Have to go. TTYL
It is time to get ready for church.
"Beauty shines through in the good that you do."
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY.
Hey folks. Yes Nilla I will be at dinner if nothing else. Only time will tell if I am able to come to anything else and then it might be in and out. Since it is AH things should be quiet at least during the parade so I might sneak out and meet you for lunch too. SHHHHH.
Robyn-what kind of blended family? Racially blended or just stepfamilies??????
GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE!! Wanda, how did you sneek your birthday past Mema Jo????
Good Morning
I have never seen Tai fall out of a tree BUT he sure is testing the limbs in this one! Cam1
Good questions Mits. How does anybody get anything past Mema??????
It's easy- Do it when she Panda naps
lol
I missed the tree climber.
Taking a break to eat some good warm oatmeal & peanut butter toast! ..
JIll we did mixed race families a few weeks go, this is just stepfamilies. Defining the roles, hostilities, ambiquity etc.
Beautiful day out going up to the low 70's
Well Robyn what do you need to know? I have experience in nice and nasty blended families. And when you get to dysfunctional, well, I am pretty sure my family wrote the book. LOL
LOL JIll I doubt there are many if any families that do not have dysfunction I guess it is how we may perceive it
OH but my family carries it to extremes. Well the males to anyway. Females are a little closer to normal.
or maybe there is the HR department and deciding if we go with an outside agency or doing it in-house to evaluate the organizations strength and weakneses by doing a 360 feedback analysis lol Today is going to be the longest day of my life yet lol
maybe I should just look at cams or decide if I make those delicious apple pies thursday or friday night :)
Mom and dad are on their way to Vegas this morning so I can't pick mom's brain on dysfunctional families ;) I sure have my dysfunctions LOL
OMG... my family has nearly cornered the market on disfunctional family relationships..lol. NEW THREAD!
NEW THREAD!
