Good Morning, Eagle Friends! 3 days till the Open House!!

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steve! You know you have Momsters coming from California for your Open House Saturday? Momsters are just all over the globe, these days thanks to you and NCTC!!!

Wonderful visits this morning of Liberty and Belle, so very nice to see them!!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Lots of nest activity from what I can see in my mail box. Looking Good!
Going over to previous thread so I can see who is here!
Getting excited about the Open House.

Suzanne said...

Morning, MemaJo! I'm getting excited too, can't wait. Just hope the rain holds off till later in the evening! We need it, but not on Saturday morning!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Paula. I just walked right by ya!

paula eagleholic said...

That's quite alright, Suz. I posted and ran. Busy day...

Suzanne said...

SD cam operator just came in...zoomed in on our sleeping beauty Squiggles, snoozing all by herself. She's getting so big!

Anne-Marie said...

Good Morning gang. All is well here. Its still dark and I'm almost ready for work. Tonight I pack. I'm tired already but excited.

Steve Chase said...

Hi,

We are in need of four or five folks to help us evaluate our new website, in a class format here at NCTC, tomorrow. I'm wondering if any of you folks would be willing to come out and participate, we'd buy you lunch for your trouble, and it would be fun.

Please email me if you are interested. steve_chase@fws.gov

Thanks!!

Anne-Marie said...

Cant help Steven. A little far away but I'll send you my best wishes.

Anne-Marie said...

Ok, I guess everyone's busy. Its off with me and to work I go. Have a great day all and have a beautiful day. Smile, it makes life easier. :)

Suzanne said...

Morning, Heidi! Guess we'll see you Saturday! It will be nice to meet you.

Steve, would love to, but unfortunately, I have to work!

MITS said...

Lots of snow at the OREGON EAGLE NEST THIS A.M.

Steve Chase said...

Hi,

time frame is 9:15 am to about 10:45 am.

Steve

Costume Lady said...

OH MY GOODNESS....Sure wish I could go and help Steve. Can't get away.

I HAVE POSTED SOME PHOTOS OF MY SHOP FOR ANY OF YOU WHO ARE INTERESTED. ON MY 'WANDA'S WISHES' BLOG.

MITS said...

LOOKS LIKE YOUR SHOP IS READY TO GO, WANDA

Suzanne said...

Wow, Wanda, looks like you have quite a few costumes in there!

Steve, I wish I could come to NCTC to help, and on the off chance get a chance to see Lib and Belle, but I gotta be in beautiful downtown (UGH) Alexandria all morning! Believe me, if I had my druthers, I'd be there.

glo said...

Argh OK Planned this all wrong, Vicky and I would probably have loved to do something like that Steve but that won't fit now. I will be in the car headed your way though starting tomorrow. Will be making an overnight stop in Commode Town, you all have no idea the memories that will be flooding back with that one. Then off to WV we will be sliding on over . Cya all Sat.

Dogs and I are off to the Marina for a little while this morning.

Jill said...

Steve I will be in Shepherdstwon around that time. How hard is it? I could probably sneek over and do it for you.

Jill said...

Robyn-I thought the same thing. The parents keep saying he has been there before. HELLO he has the mental capacity of the 3 year old. He doesn't remember. I did hear a blurb this morning but not much. Said they found his hat. That was from early yesterday.

Robyn said...

I can help Steve, I can take an hour or so from class.

Mema Jo said...

Steve has accepted my offer to help. Jill & Robyn email Steve personally - he gave his email address. 9:00 to 10:45 is all he needs time wise. CU there.

Robyn said...

I emailed him too.

YAY Jo, see ya tomorrow

Jill said...

Thanks Jo. I am not awake yet.

Just Vicky said...

Shucks Steven, get me a plane ticket and I'd love to help you!

Suzanne said...

Seems they have Bai Yun shut off from Squiggles, and she's not a happy camper! Wonder if Squiggles is getting her weekly exam? Doesn't that normally happen on Thursdays? Bai is watching the door to get out!

MITS said...

usually Suzanne, but I think last week they did do it on a Wednesday

MITS said...

her ears are staight up....she could be barking now, Suzanne..

Suzanne said...

Wow, how time flies when you're having fun!
Time for me to hit the road.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Hope Lib and Belle make an appearance this afternoon or evening!

MITS said...

tALK TO YOU TOMORROW, sUZ!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EAGLE LOVERS...

It's a heavily overcast morning in sunny Southern California in the low 60's, but it's going to get better.

Jim

Jill said...

Dogs have picked up scents of interest looking for the lost boy on Dolly Sods. Maybe they will find him this afternoon.

Carol_in_WV said...

Hi, eagle lovers! It's a gorgeous day here in Pendleton County. Fall is my favorite season - until March, when Spring becomes my favorite. lol! I have decided that I am not going to go to the Open House. I was away from home for the past 2 weekends and feel a need to stay home on Saturday. I am going on the train ride on Sunday - so I will see some of you there, as well as meet some of you for the first time. For those of you who I'll miss at the Open House - I'll see you at the Christmas party! Have a great time on Saturday!!

glo said...

Great Carol I will look forward to meeting you on that train :)

wvgal_dana said...

Wow that white fuzzy ball called Dolly is getting BIGGER lol

Afternoon/Evening everyone

paula eagleholic said...

I see her flaked out still in her favorite corner!

paula eagleholic said...

Peek in on SC cam now if you can...shot of the island...cam being changed.

Mema Jo said...

The landscape pic on SC startled me at first when I peeked. The other 2 cams on the Islands are very clear.
I have been running today..
Time to settle down now..

paula eagleholic said...

Horsie has come out to play - the nest looks pretty - I am headed home - C'mon down, Liberty and Belle!

Mema Jo said...

Trying to keep an eye on our nest while eating dinner...
Anyone else doing the same thing???

Jill said...

Just sitting here watching it. Nobody home to eat dinner yet.

Mema Jo said...


Link to pictures from this am

Mema Jo said...

Hi Jill -
Guess I'll see you tomorrow for a little while at NCTC. They could have had a Beta system on line for all of us to view. WOW that would have been something. I am not certain what this website is going to replace...

NillaWafer said...

Howdy Folks.. i have the nest up watching intently for our happy couple to appear... Does Steven have enough people for tomarrow as i can come over... Heck i do anything for a free lunch..lol j/k I am going to send a new picture of Jasmin in her Halloween costume she is a bunny..lol Hoping Sharon can make it to open house but so far no change...

Mema Jo said...

NillaWafer said...

SNAPPIN PICTURES BUT THAT DARN LINE ACROSS TOP

NillaWafer said...

MT NEST

Mema Jo said...

Too dark to do anything in the nest now! Maybe she'll come back.

Costume Lady said...

Hey NILLA--I got here just in time!

NillaWafer said...

I only got 2 pictures then she flew out going to left side of nest...

Costume Lady said...

And gone...

NillaWafer said...

well at least i got 2 pictures they are not that bad just the line across the top darn

you want them Jo?

Costume Lady said...

NILLA...Sorry I couldn't be here yesterday. My Mom didn't get another Cortisone shot, Dr. gave her a Lidocane Patch. She called me today and said she slept like a baby!

Costume Lady said...

Hope you are still on here Jo.
The Motor Home is still in the Ford Garage in Woodstock, Va. They are trying really hard, but cannot find a Rear End to fit. (No chuckles, Please) Have to bring one down from Detroit. They have given us no promises. :(

NillaWafer said...

Hey Hey Hey Wanda took alook at your pictures and costumes wow you sure got a great selection... The nest has a ghostly appearence doesnt it..lol and spidey gets busy... But i would bet they roost up on those higher branches... Oh last night i watched thsi movie its an old one made in 1981 with Jim Belushi and this woman any wyas she lives in the Rockies and studying Eagles and he gets stuck there with her.. Beautiful eagle's in it called " Continental Divide" worth watching for the eagles alone.. but its a love story...

Mema Jo said...

WOW Nilla I got 3 pictures - I guess together we'll have enough for that short visit. Send them over.

wvgal_dana said...

Well I be dang....took early shower..thought eagles would come after that. Hee hee they fooled me...maybe they will come back in.

Hi everyone.

Wanda I did (sorry) get a chuckle out of the rear end. I couldn't help myself. God gives you chuckles when you need them. I really needed that one Wanda. Am I forgiven?

Costume Lady said...

DANA..You certainly are. I really had to chuckle also when they first told us we needed a new Rear End. (I have needed a new one for a long time)

Mema Jo said...

Hi Wanda! Not to worry. All of the activities are over at or in the 2 main buildings. I am certain that Glo will drive straight to the nest. If Anne is following Robyn - she can also drive over to the barn.
Only thing is that there are FWS men directing traffic at the 4 Way stop and hopefully will let them go over.

BUT What about the TALONS!
You and Capt Gene are still coming over - right?

Mema Jo said...

Hey Wanda - think how long we would all be in the shop if we were getting new Rear Ends! lol

NillaWafer said...

well i am not chucklin that darn blogger cop got me 4 times after i typed n typed ...%#$%$%^ ok Jo give me afew i am very busy here... Wanda are you open?? I have 2 girls in here looking for costumes gona send your way .. whats your hours at store???

Mema Jo said...

Hi Dana! It was a very very quick visit tonight! Nilla and I both almost missed it!

Mema Jo said...

I wonder how MITS is getting along with all those lawyers at the zoo?

wvgal_dana said...

Great Nilla sending customers for costumes to Wanda way to go Nilla....( :

Jo it's ok I got my "thrill" the other night when they came in. Still haven't re-cooped from that lol.

Costume Lady said...

DANA...Nilla is speaking of some photos that I posted on my "Wanda's Wishes" Blog. Thought you all would like to see where I am spending most of my time this month.

NillaWafer said...

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Wanda's shop is beautiful.. but store hrs not listed. There are lots and lots of costumes!! Would be hard to choose one!

Got the pics Nilla... Camera went berserk for awhile.

NillaWafer said...

Nope Jo i checked there... well they said they would get down there friday in the day time...

wvgal_dana said...

We need to send someone out checking on Wanda....MIA.......help.....SOS.......dit-dot-dit-dot morse code....someone send up "smoke signals"...Nilla you would be could at that.

Jill said...

floralgirl said...

Jill said...

Now that I think about it, the hours aren't on her sign either. Or they are small. Her sign is a welcome site at 7 am when I am taking oldest to Shep. I know I am almost there and won't have to look at the fog or sun much more.

wvgal_dana said...

Nilla - THERE ARE COSTUMES FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS! I saw one that said "CENSORED". LOL

NillaWafer said...

WOW i been busier than a rooster in ahen house here... Now did Wanda ever come back?? Maybe she is busy with customers...

Costume Lady said...

JILL...you are right. The hours are not on the sign. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Maybe they fell off. lol
OPEN AT 10AM CLOSE AT 8PM.

We might have to bring our SUV, but we can have an "Eagletailgate Party" in it.

NillaWafer said...

ROFLMBOOOOO Paula.... hey you be surprised the people who want to dress as Hoochie Momas take our Jill for instance....lollllll

floralgirl said...

Oh my gosh, that's not fair, I was looking at Wanda's pics, Jo. You are too fast.

Robyn said...

Hello all

Megan how are you getting to romney?

Costume Lady said...

Oh my goodness Paula. You caught me! I have never had a naughty costume before and the College boys are always asking for something risque. So I saw that one at the Show and ROTFLMBO. Couldn't pass it up.

floralgirl said...

Hey the gangs all here, well, almost...Robyn, I don't know,I was just gonna drive myself. Doesn't look to hard to find, just a long drive.

Jill said...

WHOOOOOOOA Back up a minute. How did I get to be a hoochie momma???? I am a witch, just ask the people I work with. HE HE. Oh wait maybe that isn't witch. HUMMMM

I thought it was 10 am but didn't want to say for sure. I know you aren't open when I go down there in the mornings.

Not putting people in jail til midnight. Then I work all weekend. YIPPEE.

wvgal_dana said...

Robyn is in hello join the party....might take awhile for some to answer..either drinking eagle talcons or waiting on customers. lol

Robyn said...

I found where the redtailed hawks may be residing, RIGHT BEHIND ME, how cool is that! Watched them no more then 20 feet from me, then they flew from tree to tree the pair.

Robyn said...

Hi Dana eating a late supper, trying to lurk lol. Also deciding when to bake my apple pies

paula eagleholic said...

(sniff) (sniff) I'm gonna miss the train! :(

Robyn said...

Megan just Tori and I will be driving if you want to tag along, we aren't staying the night.

wvgal_dana said...

Did somebody spike my tea I'm getting verrry sleepy..what's up with that? Ok admit it ... who done the crime??

paula eagleholic said...

The captain must have snuck an eagle talon in on you, Dana!

Costume Lady said...

MEGAN...I read in the paper that "The complaints received by the Shepherdstown farm market and the mayor concerning squeezing out vendors and denying space to vendors had been addressed and solved". Was it solved to your satisfaction?

Costume Lady said...

Paula, the Capt. is working on a new receipe for something different as we speak. Maybe the fumes got to her.LOL

Mema Jo said...

#1 Megan, gas prices are going up & do you really need 2 hrs of silence?
#2BAKE ONE PIE TONIGHT!
#3 DANA Open the link to Megan's pumpkin patch (it's on one of my comments right after you asked about where it was located.

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - Which paper and what issue are you reading - Maybe we can get it online?

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo got it from your comment and added to my favorities. thank you lady

Fumes hummmm could be my room is foggie and no windows open..Captain Eagle may have on a costume and stiring a mix. The vapors have taken me over....

NillaWafer said...

HAHAHA i cant believe how this whole conversation changed when i asked Wanda about her shop hours... from birds to hoochies and back ... takes so little to keep us happy and busy.......LMAOOOOOOO

Costume Lady said...

JO...I think it was Monday's Journal Junction. Anything you read in that column is unofficial.

MITS said...

HELLO....just got back from getting my rear-end aligned and it cost me a fortune!!!! Pretty quiet at zoo tonight, since I had been there since 1, and an extra volunteer showed up tonight, after I did the upper trail, I left....the lawyers were more interested in drinking and eating than animal watching, they did have a huge chocolate fountain I wanted to dive into, but I resisted:O).

Costume Lady said...

NILLA...It does take so little to make us happy, that is why we like each other so much. We think so alike.

Robyn said...

Evening Mits

heading to the kitchen to look into a pie...

Jill said...

I might as well have a couple Talons too, Hoochie mamas need to drink alot.

floralgirl said...

Actually, Jo I could use 2 hours of silence..lol- for a moment I thought you were putting me in time out.. Yea, Robyn, if you have room in your vehicle I'd love to hitch a ride, I'll give you some gas $ Wanda- No, no and no. Did you read the Chronicle article with the quotes by the mayor? Nothing has been resolved except the mayor has decided he and the town are taking over the running of the market. Big meeting Monday night to hash out the details..ugh.

paula eagleholic said...

Speaking of articles....BRB

Mema Jo said...

Megan - I sure hope the items discussed will be in favor of the vendors that have been making this work all these years! Change can be good - but not if you don't have a say in it! I wish you well and I'll always buy your flowers no matter from where you sell them!

floralgirl said...

Well, Jo I'll send you the agenda sent out from the chair of the mayor's committee and you can see for yourself.

wvgal_dana said...

I too am buying the flowers that brought me my hummingbirds from Megan. I also want to know more about the milk weed plant for butterflies. Buy them hopefully next yr from Megan too.

Mema Jo said...

Dolly is up and about!

MITS said...

that Mayor is a jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

NillaWafer said...

Yes she is Jo...face in the corner like i been abaddddd girllll..lol

floralgirl said...

Ha ha - I couldn't agree more:)

Costume Lady said...

Megan, I didn't know you sold flower plants. I thought all you had were cut flowers. I will surely buy from you in the Spring and my Mother also.

floralgirl said...

Thank you ladies:) I grow lots of different and unusual plants, Wanda. Mostly annuals, lots that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. And all my plants and flowers are grown pesticide free.

paula eagleholic said...

I have been remiss in my duties...until I heard the word "article" a few posts back, I forgot I promised to show everyone the picture from the Shepherdstown Observer, from the article that Steve Chase wrote....it is now on the

Eaglet Momsters Blog

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Paula.
Yes, Megan you must specify that your
plants are grown pesticide free. That is the rule!!!

floralgirl said...

HA! don't worry, Jo, apparently you can't have enough rules..lol

Mema Jo said...

Be back in an hour....

Costume Lady said...

Thanks Paula for sharing that with us.

NillaWafer said...

I too have been deciding when to bake bread and afew other goodies for Saturday... I do buy Diana and Jasmin organic baby food to eat.. cost more but healthier for them...

Anne-Marie said...

Hi everybody. Washer is going. Heidi is bathed and I'm tired. Im not packed yet but I just sat down to check the weather so I will know what to take. Diana has the day off tomorrow but I have to work. then we will take the red eye. I hope I can sleep.

Costume Lady said...

JILL....If you are on here, I just added 3 more photos to show you what I did with the racks that I got from you. They worked out really well!

NillaWafer said...

Hi Ya Anne ... Cant wait to see you on Saturday and look at all your pictures of Alaska and hear your stories... Hmmm did the Red Dress catch the eye of any handsome man perhaps???

Costume Lady said...

Anne-Marie, is that a 4 hour flight?

Robyn said...

Tori LOVES her mommy she will be having apple pie for beakfast lol

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Nilla...I just rememberd, Anne was suppose to bring you back a RUGGED HANDSOME MAN from Alaska.Tell her not to forget to bring him.

NillaWafer said...

HAHAHAHAHAHA yup every hoochie needs a Boa and garter Wanda...lollllllllllllllll

Anne-Marie said...

Hi the flight leaves here at 12:00. goes to Long Beach and then goes to Dulles. I get there at 5:30am. We then go the the post office , where ever that is, to catch a tour bus.3 hours later we head for Martinsburg.

floralgirl said...

Oh, what time is breakfast? we'll all be there for apple pie:) Anne- Temperatures will be low to mid 70's Saturday and Sunday. Into the 40's at night.

Costume Lady said...

I LOVE my Mommy too! She gave me a pie to bring home (apple) after I took her to Dr. yesterday. Getting ready to have some right now with a glass of milk. The Capt. has his with chocolate milk. Yuk!!

NillaWafer said...

Ok time for me to scoot... Hope everyone has a restful night and see ya'll tomarrow... Niters

Anne-Marie said...

I could use a piece of apple pie right now.

Robyn said...

I dislike rules ewww

Megan good Tori will have her Ipod so the only thing I would hear is her singing.

I hope no one is diabetic if so DO NOT eat the apple pies I bring saturday.

Robyn said...

B'fast is 6am Megan

floralgirl said...

Yea, Robyn, my daughter rarely goes anywhere without her Ipod.

floralgirl said...

NIte all, hitting the hay early, next 2 days are booked solid, about 450-500 kids, and the weatehr looks iffy Fri. Got a lot of work to do before I can have some fun. I gotta go to bed so I will stop snacking..

Mema Jo said...

I hear you all talking!
I love white milk or ice cream on apple pies! I agree with you Wanda that chocolate milk & apple pie is Yuk! But whatever pleases the pallet!

Ok I am stuck with Nabisco Oreo Cakesters! Yummy!

paula eagleholic said...

Poor, Jo! Stuck with Oreo caksters!

I'll have a piece of that apple pie, warmed, with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Mema Jo said...

Oh No - they are really delicious!
So chocolaty! You would love them.

Costume Lady said...

Would you believe I didn't eat the pie; I just drank the milk (Soy). I have got to do something to get this weight off.

Costume Lady said...

Worked in the yard and garden all summer long and never lost and ounce! Don't know for sure if it is my pills doing this, but I don't want to give them up. Doctor said I shouldn't. What to do, what to do?

Costume Lady said...

Maybe I can sleep it off!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.
SLEEP WELL.

Anne-Marie said...

Now you all have made me hungry. Great influences you guy are.

movin said...

Hi, everybody, I hope you had a great day.

I usually get here through the camsite, but tonight it wouldn't open... Any ideas why??

Is the cam down again?

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Niters Wanda and everyone

Morning Suzanne

Anne-Marie said...

Good Night all. Hi Jim I guess its just us west coasters. I have trouble too.

Jill said...

Wanda they look great. Glad you could use the card rack. Now if I could just get rid of the rest of the merchandise I have.

paula eagleholic said...

Anne - Now you know what we talk about most of the time! Food! LOL

Howdy, Jim!

Jill said...

Anne are you driving to the post office? I thought it was downtown. HUMMMMM

Jill said...

Jim it might have something to do with the new website Steve wants us to test tomorrow. I just bookmark this site and come in this way.

Anne-Marie said...

The bus tour starts at the post office on Pennsylvania Blvd.I have to get there from the airport. Thats what I was looking on Map quest for. After that I head to Martinsburg so I will be ok.

paula eagleholic said...

Cam is still up, nightlight is on!

You can also use the links from the momster group or my website

www.eagletmomsters.com

on the links page.

paula eagleholic said...

G'nite, Dana.

Jill said...

That is what I thought. Be careful driving downtown at rush hour. Mits might be able to give you a short cut or two. She lives just outside of DC.

Jill said...

Okay now you guys have me hungry. Wonder if Joey will bring me some dessert from BWW. Yeah right.

Anne-Marie said...

The tour starts at 12:00 and ends at 3:00. I learned to drive in LA so I should be ok. I can get lost just as good as anyone.

paula eagleholic said...

You'll probably be taking the Dulles toll road closer in to DC, Rt 267 I think it is.

paula eagleholic said...

You should have plenty of time to stop and get breakfast before your tour. You'll probably see some sites just getting to the post office.


Frieda is back and Dolly has gone over to the ledge.

Anne-Marie said...

Thats another thing, I have never taken a toll road. How much? What should I have on hand?

MITS said...

Anne, are you talking about the Old Post Pavilion on PA Avenue???? You know PA Avenue where the President lives...I've never heard of PA Blvd....make sure you get directions before you leave the airport, you will be coming in rush hour traffic.....got to get to bed...up early tomorrow.

movin said...

I read a short description of Squiggle's exam today, but I found no interviews or videos of it. Did any of you?

I did listen to an interview from about a week ago, which discussed why Bai Yun and Squiggles were spending so much time outside of the den...apparently Bai Yun would take the baby outside every time the keepers would put her back in there... They "think" it might have gotten too stinky, and Bai Yun's instincts told her it was unsafe from predators when she was outside.

Anyway the keepers cleaned it up thoroughly, and they are both back in there...seems like the stink (or mold on the bamboo) was the probable cause.

Jim

Anne-Marie said...

Its AVE. Mitts. down town DC.

Jill said...

First time my oldest drove to Dulles, he got bad directions so he called me. Couldn't tell me what road he was on or anything. I told him to look around for the planes and follow the ones that were going down. He found the airport just fine.

Head west to the mountains Anne. You will either end up in Hagerstown or Winchester. Then find 81 and your here.

Anne-Marie said...

Good thoughts Jim. We all like a clean bed.

MITS said...

You will only have to pay a toll to get off the roadway. When I come in from Dulles, I get off the Bethesda exit, and come around the Beltway, Does it say anything on your map about the GW Parkway?

paula eagleholic said...

Heidi - The toll is only a couple of bucks - make sure you bring a credit card - quickest way to pay, and I think the only way on that road...

Jill said...

Toll road is 3.50 max. And you don't have to take it. Just a shortcut.

movin said...

That's the first time in over a week that Dolly has been very far from her "corner."

Jim

Anne-Marie said...

OK Jill I will. I'll be just fine. The worse thing that can happen is I'll get lost. Big deal. They speak English there dont they? :)

paula eagleholic said...

That's how mapquest should be bringing her in, on the George washington parkway...I just checked it.

Jill said...

Yes Anne, most of them speak english. Course most of them don't dont' know where WV is. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

HAHA - those directions are rough when you put in PA ave

movin said...

Paula, I saw some pics of Dr. Sharpe messing with the Santa Cruz camera, but I couldn't tell what.

I figure you probably know.

Jim

Jill said...

I don't trust mapquest after my adventures in Philly.

MITS said...

I'm pretty sure there are still live toll collectors there, yes, Anne some English is spoken here, but you will be in the minority tee-hee!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Jim, they are replacing the SC camera..hopefully have it done tomorrow....left it showing a view of the hillside down into the ocean...

MITS said...

Anne, if mapquest is bringing you in GW, you won't be on our wonderful beltway too long, be careful, most of the people on the parkway drive like it is the autobahn, but it is a very pretty drive...got to go.

movin said...

Thanks, Paula. I saw that shot (not too bad), but I also thought I had seen the regular cam shot just before...probably wrong.

Jim

Jill said...

How does it send you to WV from DC?

Jill said...

Guess I better take a nap before they start calling.

Anne-Marie said...

You guys are great. I am going to head for the shower. Looks like I'm packed If I forgot anything I'll buy it. I have to be at the airport at 3:00. My son is taking me. I'll leave work at noon. Hugs to all.

Mema Jo said...

Anne - I'll see ya when I see ya!
You'll be fine - I think you have my home # but don't call if you get stuck in DC - I go in circles down there! lol

movin said...

Pete's Pond is starting to get busy, it's just after 5 a.m. there.

If she gets lost in DC, Mits gets to go find her. I, like you, go around in circles.

You will be fine. Hope you have a wonderful day in DC.

I'm confused because Anne's makes it sound like she is getting the plane tomorrow - Thurs. I guess she is just getting packed & ready to leave work on Fri at noon.

I am going to go to bed too!

Good Night Everyone
Peace to You & Yours


Good morning all Early Birds

Morning, world. Beautiful night out, gazillions of stars, and yet some very whispy fog. Kinda neat to drive through that, or under it. It was 65° at home, and 65° here, don't even need a jacket. Brought mine in though, I need it in here!
I knew it! Squiggles got her weekly exam yesterday. No wonder mom Bai was going nutso when I left. Anyway, she's a healty little 11 week old girl. Cutest little pic of her on their website, in the news section. She's 21" long, and weighs 8.6 pounds. She's growing!
See we have a cam too, wonderful! Hope the kids come to visit later this morning. Only thing moving is spidey's web.
Bai and Squiggles are sleeping, and Frieda is on ledge grooming and awake, and Dolly is in her corner. Has she left that corner in the last couple of days? I've had them up here most of the day since Tues, and I never see her away from the corner. Guess since she's an only child now, it's her security blanket.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Bai just left the den, Squiggles is still sound asleep. Frieda is watching Dolly while she sleeps. Have a grey spot right in the center of our cam, not sure what it is. It's been there before, but haven't seen it in a while. Cutting down on the glare, though. Oh, here comes mom, must have been a nature call. She's picked up Squiggles, rolled on her side, now she's snuggling her. Oh cute, she has Squiggles between both her paws and is giving her kisses, that's adorable! Think they're gonna go to sleep that way.
