GOOD MORNING STEVE..
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS.

Costume Lady said...

We are still waiting on a visit from our pair.

floralgirl said...

Shopping?? ughhh....the malls will be dangerous today. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas, Steve. MT nest, 2 eagles perched at BWO.

MITS said...

MERRY CHRISTMAS, STEVEN, TO YOU AND YOURS, AND EVERYONE AT NCTC:)

MITS said...

I'd rather slap myself silly then be out in those malls today or any day.

floralgirl said...

Oh my gosh, slap me then, I still need to finish shopping...

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MEGAN---
The mall was dangerous yesterday. I got some groceries at Wal-Mart and while standing in check-out line, patience was wearing very thin with everyone. The cashiers are Temps with, seemingly, no experience. I thought some of them may be lynched before the day was over. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, Megan and Wanda!

I just have to run up to the outlets and get 2 gift certificates, DIL wants to buy clothes after the baby is born...

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, Steve, thanks for the new thread. Have you started your shopping yet? :)

paula eagleholic said...

Better shop today than tomorrow, it's supposed to rain tomorrow.

Costume Lady said...

I got Capt. Eagle his present yesterday and that was the end of my list, Halleluiah! Still need more food for Christmas dinner.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh yes, have to hit the grocery store today too!

paula eagleholic said...

And off we go at Maine, calling all the way, can hear two now.

floralgirl said...

OH, in the past 2 weeks I have seen so much nastiness in the stores. I workesd a retail job for years and people get so impatient this time of year. Good grief, I just got a phone call with an order for 2 wreaths..no rest for the weary...later, gotta go make 2 wreaths real quick. Have a great day everyone, think of me when I'm with all the grinches at the mall later.

Costume Lady said...

I have found it difficult to get into the Christmas Spirit this year, for some reason, but being in the Mall with all the other shoppers yesterday seemed to have lit my fire. I'm ready and raring to go. Look out Santa, you have competition this year!

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - you have mail!

paula eagleholic said...

One eagle left at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

Technical Note - Our cam technician is charging our battery and on Saturday he will use a special tool to test the solar panel's charging power, to see if it's defective.

See short visit from our eagles in comments.

I want to try to bake my cookies after this panda nap. So off I go again

Merry Christmas to ALL and to me a good panda nap. ( :

Anne-Marie said...

good Morning all, hey I really get to blog instead of just read for a change. I haven't read who is on but Merry Christmas to you all. Its cool, over cast and I'm trying to get cleaning done. I'm waiting for my grocery's to be delivered. No way was I going to fight traffic and crowds to get food. I am trying new recipes this year to take to parties. Should be fun. Has anyone fixed or eaten Rumaki before?

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

"Christmas is in the air..."

Haven't read the comments yet, but there's an eagle on BWO nest, and there's a baby Panda sleeping in a "tree" at San Diego.

Jim

movin said...

Paula...
Even your snowman is making me breathless.

And now Su Lin is doing "laps" and running the obstacle course for time too.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Jim has Pete's Pond been working ok for you??? My sister-in-law said the water wasn't moving???

movin said...

Bai and ZZ are playing in the yard now...

Jim

movin said...

Dana..
It's dark at Pete's now, and I haven't been watching this morning, but it's been working fine for me in recent days.

It's been known to freeze up temporarily though, so she might be right. Try "refresh" and if that doesn't work, try Aricam for a while...........?

Jim

movin said...

I don't know if everyone reads the Panda blog at SD, but it's got some interesting info the last couple of days, and the regular exam reports have not appeared.

Click on "News" and then on "Panda Blog" off to the left side.

Jim

movin said...

Now Bai and ZZ are "bear rasslin" in the shaded area of a wall.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Yay Wanda!!

Mema Jo said...

I've been lurking off & on today. Ready now to go to evening mass..
Love your glittering tree, Wanda.
Can't get over how many pics that Paula has found. I still didn't find tree lights for the sycamore! lol
Be back later this evening......

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, if I knew how to do that, I would!

paula eagleholic said...

I almost forgot.....

Happy Winter Solstice!

paula eagleholic said...

Nice day out there...lots of people shopping...didn't see any Grinches :)

Took the dogs down to the park, and hopefully wore them out retrieving tennis balls.

MITS said...

DEER AT PA

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - the trick will be removing your pic! :):)

paula eagleholic said...

Think the poor deer are frozen!

Costume Lady said...

Did anyone get to see ZZ when she made her public debut today? I wanted to see that so much, but had to go grocery shopping.
The store was so full of shoppers that everybody was running into each others carts. All isles were jam packed full. BUT, I didn't hear one discouraging word. I think the real Spirit of Christmas was in us all!!

Costume Lady said...

Paula, thanks again, I could never have gotten that tree to twinkle without you! I'm going to make sure you get your ROBOPANDA....

MITS said...

The deer with the bad right front leg is back

wvgal_dana said...

What was the name of the Panda bear that just went back to China?

MITS said...

Mei Sheng was his name, Dana

wvgal_dana said...

Mits I am sending you an email and would like your opinion back please...ty

MITS said...

MITS said...

Calling it a day, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to turn it off!


Good Night All

Prayers for all needs being said

Costume Lady said...

Christmas presents all bought and bagged (I don't wrap).
Grocery shopping....done.
A good night's sleep....priceless.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL.

floralgirl said...

Ooohh, only 2 more days.....

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE.

CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE, AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL ONE IN 2007.

JIM

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.....
Here in the Martinsburg/Shepherdstown area, we have very foggy conditions with 0 visibility in some places. It is 39° and going up to 54° today. No chance of snow for Christmas.
No visitors to our nest yet. I guess it is too foggy to fly, but they will be here when they can.
Only a few birds in Pa. and ZZ Bear is asleep. Not much on the cams right now.

Costume Lady said...

Still waiting on Lib & Belle to make an appearance. No visitors at Pa. NZ shows a panda lying on his back eating bamboo. ZZ & Bai den has so much bamboo in it that you cannot see either panda; just some flashes of black and white.
Still very foggy here and we are also suppose to get some high winds today (up to 50mph).

Costume Lady said...

I Wish San Diego Zoo would tell us how ZZ reacted to her Public Appearance yesterday, and how the public reacted. If any of our Bloggers wittnessed this, please let us know.

Costume Lady said...

NOOORRRRMMMAAA....WAKE UP!!!!!
THERE AR 6 TURKEYS ON THE PA CAM.

Costume Lady said...

GO BACK TO SLEEP, NORMA, THEY ARE GONE NOW. SORRY!

MITS said...

GOOD SUNDAY A.M. EVERYONE, MERRY DAY BEFORE THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Wanda, I saw a brief 30 second video on it last night on NBC NEWS. Since this is their 4 cub born there, it is pretty low-keyed, I remember when Su-Lin went public, they are real close to the yard, and zoo people made them be quiet when the were observing Bai and Su

MITS said...

foggy conditions at our nest...

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING HELEN,
This year is my first time with seeing anything and I wanted so badly to see ZZ's first time with the public, but I couldn't be here. 30 second newspiece is not enough for such an important baby. Don't they know how much we love her? LOL

Costume Lady said...

My goodness, this morning has flown; have to get ready for church (if we can find it through this fog).

In my distress I cried unto the lord, and he heard me. Psalm 120:1KJV

MITS said...

If she ignored the public and didn't react, that is perfect, means it didn't stress her and from the looks of things she was not stressed
