GOOD MORNING DANA & NORMA..
Norma, sorry about your loss (Dallas), but you'll have to agree, it was a good game. Skins needed that win very badly.

Dana, we don't go out on New Years Eve any more, either. We did for many years, but the roads have gotten so dangerous that I feel more comfortable at home.
We rent a bunch of movies and have something real special for dinner.
Last year we had a picnic dinner in front of the fireplace. Tonight we are having stuffed cornish hens. And a partridge in a pear tree.

Costume Lady said...

Walked right past Helen. Good Morning to you too.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Steven for the new thread. Happy New Year coming in at your home tonight.
BE SAFE EVERYONE

Just got back from visiting Deb's photos and shows. It was a wonderful trip you took me on Deb. Thank you. I even had to re-look at ones I had already seen. They are so so good. Full screen set back relax awwwww wonderful .

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Mits.

We are in for New Years Eve. Watch the ball come down in Time Square.
Family comes in and stays overnight. We start with our shrimp and marconi salad or potato salad. Whichever they want. Start playing cards. Lots of laughter. Later hit the olives, pickles, meats, cheeses and crackers and alittle wine. I like it this way no one gets drunk. We just enjoy each others company from the old into the new year. THEN SLEEP!! lol

When we get up we have a great breakfast together.

deb said...

I am glad you enjoyed them, Dana. I am on my way to check on my eagles. I want to do it before the frigid wind hits tonight. Windchills of -20. ICK! I am not looking forward to it. A week of warm air was nice. The eagles will stay here as long as they can get food. I hope the river doesn't freeze over completely.
I will check in later.

paula eagleholic said...

Woo Hoo - it sure is!!

Morning, friends!;)

paula eagleholic said...

And Happy New Years Eve!!

wvgal_dana said...

Isn't it just wonderful eagle buddies. We have Glo that takes pictures of eagles when they come in near her place. Making wonderful video and slideshows for us to see.
We have Bob Quinn that shares his photos with us.
Now we have Deb who also shares her photos. Makes slideshows and videos.
We are waiting to see what Dave is bringing back after the New Year he said.
We have Genie with the photos of the redhill (I think) cranes.

WOW ARE WE EVER BLESSED!! Others also going out and taking pictures. Of the visits, their lives and etc.

WOW What a great year we have had with all this and watching cams. And still getting some work done around the house. lol

We mean't in person new people. Had new people that have come into the blog that we are meeting in blog comments.

We've shared sorrows and happiness. With people we've mean't and others we haven't but feel like we have.

From the bottom of my heart "thank you one and all" for being part of my 2007 year. It is "GREAT" knowing I'll have you wonderful friends in 2008.

Robyn said...

Happy New Years eve all

It has been a very productive year 2007, I met some absolutely wonderful ladies and gentlemen thru this group, we are blessed Tori and I. It all began in March when I first discovered the NCTC blog and eagle pair.

I made some friends lost some friends went thru life and death, growth, and love. Found hope within this lovely group with all your prayers for my family and other families. There is so much love here it makes me want to cry because the feeling can be so overwhelming.

I also am grateul to my parents, they have always been there for me and I am quite sure I didn't always say I'm sorry or thank you enough, know how much I love you.

And my daughters recovery was the highlight of this year knowing she will get better over the next few years. And Dan for coming back into my life, I have never felt so safe, protected, content and complete.

I hope everyone gets what they need in 2008, I am so looking foward to what is ahead of me in 2008.

Suzanne said...

movin said...

In case you need to leave early, Suzanne, have a safe trip to the local deli and the liquor store and home in preparation for a

GREAT NEW YEAR!!

Jim

movin said...

Some of you have definitely found interesting "New Year" icons this year... Paula's "countdown" and Wanda's "fireworks" versions stand out. [MS=many smiles]

MS,
Jim

movin said...

Boy, ZZ is reeeeeally blowing some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's this morning. Probably getting rested up to climb some trees and get stuck later this morn.

MS,
Jim

movin said...

See. She's out in the compound already, playing in the shipping crate (or whatever), getting ready for the climb.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Moosewatch has new interesting article from Pook concerning Primo
shedding his antlers soon.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks to all who joined in the
Power Prayer for Sandra.

paula eagleholic said...

Look at little ZZBear up in the tree...

Mema Jo said...

Just posted email on Momsters - I think you will all receive it but just in case there are bloggers who are not Momsters:

I contacted Tom this morning to inquire about Sandra. If you're sending cards to the hospital, include her room # 242. Sandra is not ready to accept visitors yet - she tires easily. You may send messages to her email address ssosbourn@frontiernet.net as she now has a Blackberry thanks to Dillon, her son. Tom said that he has been up to see his mother every day. Sandra may not return or respond to our emails but she will know how much we are thinking of her and praying for her recovery.
Good News:The physical therapist on Saturday was working with Sandra's left leg. She reported that all muscles were functioning!
Left arm is getting some feeling returned. She can feel Tom rubbing her arm and has had a prickly tingling in her pinky. She isn't able to apply pressure like squeeze someone's hand.But it is coming to that I am certain. Sandra is able to feed herself and is swallowing through a straw to drink her tea. No word yet as to being released. She is where the best care can be given.
Hospital Address:
Jefferson Memorial
300 S. Preston St. Rm# 242
Ranson, WV 25438

Tom does get the mail daily and take any cards to Sandra.
Keep the Power Prayer going! It is working for our friend.
We want Sandra & Tom and their family to have a good 2008 !

paula eagleholic said...

ZZBear is asleep in the tree :)

Mema Jo said...

ZZ is snoozing away up there on the top of those logs! She just seems to be too young to be doing all that climbing! But they kept her in the dark den for so long that I guess she is ready to "spread her wings & fly"
lol

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - Thank you for the update on Sandra. Sounds like she is progressing very well!

paula eagleholic said...

Is that ZZBear on one set of logs (L) and Bai on the other (R)?

Mema Jo said...

Sure looks like both ZZ and her mom up on the logs......

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL EAGLE BUDDIES OUT THERE. I finally was able to get my husband off the puter. He was on Skype talking to his friend in Poland. :(

Went to breakfast with my husband after getting my blood tested, did some things about town, and got home in time for Sandra's Power Prayer time. It sounds like it is working. That was good news JO that you gave us earlier in the day. I just hope and pray that she keeps getting the strength and healing we are sending her way so she can soon be home with her mom and Tom.

carolinabeachmom said...

Squigs looks like she is on the move again. She is awake and looking like she is thinking up something to get into next. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

ZZ seems to be trying to come off the logs. Will she make it? Right now it seems as if her front legs are on one side of log and back are on the other; stuck like. Here she gooooeeeesssssss!Nope, not yet. Seems to be sniffing it out. Cam is real close up on her now. Come on ZZ, you can do it. She is over log, but is looking like she doesn't know what to do nest. :) The liggle buzzer.

carolinabeachmom said...

Well, what a big girl. She got herself down and is now with Bai. There they go. It must be lunch time.

carolinabeachmom said...

One lonely eagle at BWO. Our nest is MT, Pa.is MT. Maine nest is still a white out, Squigs and Bai were having a fun time rolling and playing. BWE is MT.

carolinabeachmom said...

Santa Cruz nest is MT. The only things moving are the SD pandas. I guess I had better check on the NZ pandas.

Mema Jo said...

Deb - thank you so much for posting the picture you took today of the juvie! It is spectacular!

carolinabeachmom said...

NZ pandas out for a stroll. Clouded leopards having fun in the branches, sloth bear sleeping, fishing cats don't fool around getting their food.

carolinabeachmom said...

Welcome JO. Did you get up from your Panda nap or are you busy watching?

I'm about ready for a Panda nap myself, as I couldn't get to sleep last night until well after two am.

Jill said...

Happy New Year Everybody
My friend just sent me this site for Dolly Sods WV. She says it is really cool when the weather is changing or snow is coming in.

http://www.fsvisimages.com/doso1/doso1.html

Mema Jo said...

Candy - if you take your Panda Nap now - you'll be sure to be awake at midnight to ring in the new year!!

Hi Jill! Thanks for that site. I am about to put my head down for an hour. Taking grandsons out to eat later while mom and dad go out to eat elsewhere.......

deb said...

Thanks, Jo. I still can't believe I got that close. I think I could have gone closer, but I always worry about upsetting them, so I try to stay my distance. I have a 300mm lens on my camera, so can get good shots without bothering the eagles too much. I finished working on the rest, will post probably tomorrow.

Jill, I love that site, all the areas are pretty.

Costume Lady said...

DEB just got waxed!

Costume Lady said...

Hi JILL...good to have you with us again.
We just came from the Video Den in Shepherdstown and ran into NORMA there...What a surprise!

floralgirl said...

Oh yay, love is in the air....

deb said...

FYI, I went to the Hummingbird site today and she is rebuilding the nest in the same location as the last one was. At first she was looking at new sites, but today she seems committed to the old nest restorations.

movin said...

Thanks, Deb. I'll take a look at the Hummer site.

Jim

movin said...

Mema Jo, regarding ZZ's climbing trees, there's an entry on the blog concerning baby Pandas' natural behavior.

Blog is on the left side of the News page.

Jim

movin said...

Mama Hummer is on nest now...looks like she's turning around and around trying to reshape the bowl and perhaps assessing what she needs to do to get the nest back in usable condition.

MS,

Jim

deb said...

Darn, I missed her.

Mema Jo said...

Heading out to early dinner... Will be back to welcome in the new year.........

deb said...

I am signing off for the night, company coming. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD NEW YEARS EVE EAGLE LADIES. Just came on to find a deer in Pa., moose feeding, mama hummer checking out old nest, and Bai eating while little Squigs aka ZZ, Precious is still asleep on this table like thingy.

carolinabeachmom said...

Another deer in Pa. or the same one back. Two moose are still eating while another rests. I guess I missed our eagles for the day. Hope someone got pics.

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS said...

CHRISSY, lets hope our dear girl, MEI XIANG has a new cub for us this new year:)

carolinabeachmom said...

CHRISSY Happy New Year to you Chrissy. I guess you are the first real one in the new year on here. May you have a blessed, healthy and happy 2008 over there.

MITS said...

darn, I should have looked on earthcam.com for the fireworks in LONDON.

carolinabeachmom said...

CHRISSY It sounds like you are having a very nice start to 2008; with son and girlfriend there with you. Mine is in Winchester,Va. up towards alot of our Eagle Momsters, so it is just my husband and I ringing in the new year. It is very quiet here where I live. I'm afraid if we both sit down, we'll be asleep and miss the change. :) The older you get, the harder it is to stay awake.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thee are at least 3 deer at Pa.

MITS said...

you got that right, Candy, very quiet here too, but I like it that way. Hubby's birthday is tomorrow...he is the big 60:)

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS My husband and I should have gone to mass tonight, but no, we will go tomorrow to the 9am mass. So I will miss out on all the gab for most of tomorrow am, but I'm going to try to be up for our eagles visit.

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS I like it quiet too. We haven't gone out for many years now. Most of the time my husband had to work and that was ok by me. I hate getting into that mess. I'd rather be comfortable in my pj's watching the ball drop on my tv.

MITS said...

we didn't have much choice for mass, either tonight at 5 or tomorrow at noon, so we went tonight so we cam watch the parade tomorrow

carolinabeachmom said...

Weeeelllllll a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENE A DAY EARLY!! You were a New Years baby!!! How exciting. I guess your mother didn't go partying on that New Years Eve either. :) What a way to start the New Year. I hope you have a wonderful day.

MITS said...

we used to go out also, but I'm like you, will be in my pj's trying to stay awake, I am a night owl, except on NYE.

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh geez, I forgot the parades. I hope we have a fast mass then so I can get home in time. :) Should be plenty of football to watch. I wonder if Norma's WV Mountaineers play tomorrow. I'll have to look it up.

MITS said...

don't know when they play....Shreik 2 is on...something to watch

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi both,

Now helen,, you can always go to the BBC WEBPAGE and look at the film footage there pet,

And as for you my friend,old indeed!!!!
My mother always said::::

Your as old and your tongue, and only just a little bit older than your teeth.
So girl, stop thinking like that please. enjoy every miniute,have fun, even if it's only from an armchair, you can still hold a drink in your hand and bless in the new year, or go on the computer like I have and look at the LIVE STREAMING WEBCAMS all over the world and watch their celebrations SYDNEY was out of this world !!!!
I was on my own till Matt and Natalie came in as Frank is on nightshift tonight, but I still had a drink, we call the first man to come through the door at New Year " FIRST FOOTINGS" and he is to bring in a lump of jet black coal and we meet him at the door with a glass of Whiskey, I dont know where that tradition comes from but it's done all over this country and has been for centuries,
I think it started in Scotland ???

Well Take care my lovlies,k Speak soon.

love and hugs,
Chrissy
XXXXXXXXX

MITS said...

same here with the first person being a man, at least where I grew up, also have money in your hand at midnight so you have it all year

Chrissy Beahan said...

That right Helen,

Same here to, a golden coin,

Arn't we as humans a very supersticious lot,,

Say happy birthday to your hubby from me pet please, I know only to well what it's like having a birthday so close to Christmas.

Whats the weather like with you ???
We havn't had snow as yet,,but it's cold enough, and the weather people say we will have some in a few days, so I'm getting out my longjohns ready !!!
{they are an all in one from head to foot, like the old men used to wear] joke.

And I've had to change all the beds this weekend, put the high tog duvets on ready for the cold snap.

Love and hugs
Chrissy

carolinabeachmom said...

You ladies have some interesting traditions. AND MITS, sorry about calling your husband Gene. My brain cells aren't working properly:) tonight. Maybe I had better take Chrissy's advice, curl up on the couch with a drink for the toast in hand and have a go at welcoming in the new year. Anyone have toothpicks to keep my eyes open?:)

carolinabeachmom said...

We won't have anyone come in our door to bring coal, but let me grab some money! Boy I could sure use some for new hard wood floors throughout my house here at the beach. Our carpet has just about had it.

I used to remember the coal truck delivering coal to my house when we burned it in the furnace. I can still hear the coal swishing down the shoot into the cellar. I can also remember the ice man coming around for the ice boxes, and all the children trying to get bits of ice to suck on. Those were the days.

Chrissy Beahan said...

Pleant of toothpicks here pet,, but only for the use of cherries and olives to put into drinks !!!!

RIGHT LADIES,,,,,

I'm going to bed,,it's half past one now and I'm dropping,,,

You both have still such a long wait for the New Year to come a knocking at your doors.

I can now open my Panda Calendar that I got for Christmas, and hang it up, supersticious again, wont hang it before the New Years in.

Lots of smashing photos of my darling Mei Xiang, and that thug of hers gobbo, oh yes and ofcourse hubby Tian too,,,,I do hope his eye gets better soon,,don't you !!!!

love and hugs
chrissy

Chrissy Beahan said...

Candy pet,

Your going on as if your 90 years old,,,STOP IT NOW !!!

Mind you pet,,I remember as a child on the farm delivering milk from a churm on the back of a horse and cart, going from door to door and leaving milk in jugs on door steps with a voil cover with beads on to cover the jugs.
And homemade butter wrapped up in wax paper and then in straw and put on door steps too to keep cool till the house owner picked them up..

NOW SEE WHAT YOU HAVE STARTED GIRL !!!!

Love and hugs

Good evening all. Original plans were for Mattie, Justin, Andrew and I to go to Thelma's to bring in the new year, but we are supposed to have some snow tonight and I have to work tomorrow, so I am at home with all of them. I am grateful to see this year come to an end in the hopes that 2008 will bring happy times for all of us.

carolinabeachmom said...

Forget it MITS. I can't find it again. Sorry I sent you on a wild goose chase. I accidentally deleted my site and can't get back on.

carolinabeachmom said...

Hi there Sharon. Well you may be at home with your crew, but you will be safe and have a nice evening together. May you and yours have a much better New Year this year in 2008.

carolinabeachmom said...

It says that Times Square in New York City is celebrating it's 100th New Year celebration this year.

MITS said...

Candy just go to earthcam.com and you can see tons of sites.

MITS said...

yes, Sharon, we pray that 2008 will be kinder to you.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks MITS. I just found it. I am going to go see if my husband is still awake. BB

Mema Jo said...

I am awake right now - but very heavy eyed. Never missed the ball dropping in Times Square but not so sure about this New Year of 2008..........

carolinabeachmom said...

I am with you JO. If I layed my head down now, I'd be out like a light. We are watching Clemson play Auburn in football, but I am getting tired of it.

carolinabeachmom said...

Heard some private fireworks go of a little while ago. Just as long as they shoot them towards the canals. Wouldn't want a fire to start.

Mema Jo said...

They are a little bit early!!! lol

MITS said...

had some idiots here shooting them off about and hour ago, in someones back yard

MITS said...

there is a cat on the PA CAM

MITS said...

HE JUST LEFT

Mema Jo said...

I missed it (the cat).
You think it could have been a
raccoon? I hate to think of a cat out in those woods....

MITS said...

It was definitely not a raccoon or a opossum, it was striped and had pointy ears like a cat, don't know why my pic didn't turn out

carolinabeachmom said...

I missed the cat too. I finally turned off that site. Was also hoping that our birds would come to the nest to celebrate the new year, but I guess not.

carolinabeachmom said...

small cat or BIG CAT; maybe a mountain lion!:) lol

MITS said...

regular alley cat.

Mema Jo said...

I'm taking the world tour on the
EartCam New Years 2008
Pretty cool seeing all the different places.......

carolinabeachmom said...

Looked at that awhile ago. Now sitting here defragging my computer to get more space on it. Should go out and sit with my husband for a bit so he doesn't get hurt feelings.:)

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE, HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR...TALK TO YOU NEXT YEAR:)

Mema Jo said...

I am going to head into the living room TV where hubby is and we'll watch the ball drop to 2008!!!

I'll talk with you tomorrow - You know - like next year..... Just had to say that!

Peace to you & yours!
Prayers being said for all our needs!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS. JO and all you eagle buddies out there HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008! I have to say it too. "See and talk to you all next year!" :)

carolinabeachmom said...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to Steve and all those wonderful people at NCTC too!

movin said...

A VERY FUN, CREATIVE, PRODUCTIVE, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL IN 2008.

Here's to a successful nesting season for Liberty-Belle...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Costume Lady said...

WANDA AND GENE

Costume Lady said...

WE HAVE OUR FIRST VISIT OF 2008!

Costume Lady said...

BOTH WERE HERE, NOW JUST BELLE....

Costume Lady said...

She is sitting in the egg cup and it fits her very well.

Costume Lady said...

She's making some adjustments to the cup....must not be quite right.

Costume Lady said...

She is just sitting in the middle of the nest doing nothing but looking from side to side.

Costume Lady said...

Now we have 2...we are complete.
