Thanks Steve -good morning everybody. Cold here-8°, looks like nasty weather coming our way tonite:(

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Steven for the New Thread. Hope you have a nice day today. I have put on the old thread about this New one.

Good Morning Eagle/Cam Watchers.

Our nest has an awake beautiful eagle covering the eggs.

I watched the sunrise on Tesoro with a cute little/growing chick in the picture.

I have Maine up eagle there at 7:04am. A lot of calling with eagle in nest. Now nest MT.

Norfolk is spanning about there was no eagle in nest this am.

BWE and BWO I tried to get up maybe a little later try again.

Re-lite candle for Sandra ty Jo for the update. I seen it on the other page of comments. So glad she is doing well with the therapist at and around her home. Now we know to pray more for strength.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Megan ( :

You was up late watching the moon huh?

floralgirl said...

Yes, good morning, Dana, love staring at that moon.

wvgal_dana said...

Sun starting to shine on our eagle ( : Oh I bet that feels good.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everyone.

MITS said...

Morning everyone, beautiful moon last night.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Sharon(hope your flu is leaving you) and Mits (hope you are recovering well) ( : ( :

MITS said...

So far so good, Dana, got a ways to go.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And I am feeling better as each day passes, thank God. Mits, good to see you on here. We had too many clouds to see the moon last night.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits it sounds like sister or sisters are being a lot of help. Don't go lifting anything your not suppose to. Of course you don't need me to tell you that. Just praying for you everyday at our noon prayer time. (((hugs to Mits)))

wvgal_dana said...

Megan have you gotten Maine up on that "speedy" computer of yours yet? I had it up. When it went from infra-red to daytime. Can't get it back. Guess everyone is trying for that site.

MITS said...

thanks, Dana, sisters have been doing wonderful, been alot of fun having them here, they won't let me lift a finger and the food has been great.

normabyrd said...

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

There's snow around and in all the eastern nests, it looks like. No wonder Suzanne didn't want to make the drive.

I can barely see a little slit of picture at BWO, but there is a fish crow visible taking off from the nest.

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

DANA---You haven't see SUZANNE--have you?---Several schools in our area are CLOSED!!---Roads are terrible!!---

movin said...

Good morning, Mits. Welcome back.

I think I'll check out the Maine nest...anyone want to tell me why the Maine blog is about Norfolk, and it is so hard to get info or anything at the actual Maine blog.

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Beautiful close of eagle on limb at Norfolk not the 4 yr old

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Norma and Jim ( :

Jim they split the Maine site. Go to the index again. Look for Maine Discussion it is there. For Norfolk it is there also.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' JIM---Did you watch the ECLIPSE last night?---We were lucky---sky was clear----I could watch from my kitchen window!!---(remember--i live in the country)----I noticed PAULA posted a beautiful pic last night!!

movin said...

Not much about an intruder or anything on Maine site, but I see one of the original pair at the new nest in Norfolk. Which one do you think it is?

[:~)]

Jim

movin said...

Norfolk eagle is largish and has scalloping in bib area. I think it's the original female, and I think she's daring the young one to attack now that she doesn't have to worry about the eggs.

[Of course, I'm guessing. But she is about where the younger one was yesterday.]

[:~)]

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Going by the white at chin I think it is the original Mom Jim.

normabyrd said...

SHARON---I noticed last night you folks had some snow----But it doesn't appear to be on your roads!!-----Any closings there??

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Normabyrd, school is on 2-hour delay. Our street has ice and snow.

Mattie and Justin are still out of school today with ear infections. The doc said that ear infections are common after this flu. Glad I didn't get that!

normabyrd said...

ME SITE is a beautiful this a.m.--- SUNNY!! --- with sounds of EAGLES!!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING LADIES AND JIM...
Megan, love your eclipsed moon. What a special event that was and the sky was crystal clear for the viewing.

normabyrd said...

SHARON---My kids never had ear aches--- But my grand-kids certainly have!!---SO VERY PAINFUL!! I hope MATTIE & JUSTIN are well soon!!--Tell them I am thinking of them!!---I'll always remember MATTIE--1st time I saw her--she ask me to sit on the bus with her!!---That was so COOL!

movin said...

Norma, on the eclipse, I did go for a short walk just before midnight and checked the moon. I was expecting it to be blocked by overcast, but to my surprise I saw a bright, full moon (between passing cloud cover), but the eclipse had not started here yet, so I decided to get some sleep.

indiana nesting eagles dave said...

Good Morning everyone;It is cold
here and we are suppose to get some
snow again today and than on it
is supposed to change to sleet or
freezeing rain on friday.I will be
around here for awhile.

Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave

Costume Lady said...

It is 9° here right now and a severe weather alert has been issured for tonight and tomorrow:

A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT.

LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL SPREAD SNOW ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT. WARMER AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL CAUSE
PRECIPITATION TO MIX WITH SLEET AND EVENTUALLY FREEZING RAIN
FRIDAY MORNING. FREEZING RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. THE
WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION RETURNS FRIDAY NIGHT PRIOR TO ALL
PRECIPITATION ENDING.

THIS STORM COULD BE A HIGH IMPACT EVENT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW AND...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS. LATER
FORECASTS WILL MORE SPECIFICALLY PIN DOWN PRECIPITATION TYPES...
TIMING... AND AMOUNTS.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' WANDA!---The sky in our area was perfect too!---I kept wanting to say 'GOOD NIGHT MOON'----Remember that book?---ho!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Dave ( :

Our eagle is tucking fluff near her/him.

Orig. Mom sits looking around at Norfolk. Beautiful bird.

normabyrd said...

WHOA DANA!---There are a 'HERD' of DONKEYS at the feeding trough this morning!! ho!

movin said...

It's too bad they don't have sound to go with that great picture (look at it full screen) at Norfolk.

[:~)]

Jim

Tray said...

Good Morning, From Va here, ive enjoyed watching your bird. what a site!! bird on norfolk nest but not sure who, def not the intruder!!

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle in Maine nest just calling like MAD

wvgal_dana said...

Woooo....eagle in nest another eagle don't know if mate or another eagle. Flew at the one in nest...it flew out one way and the other kept going straight through. WOW

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle in nest again at Maine and another eagle flew at it. MT nest

I think we are having an attack at Maine nest.

floralgirl said...

Oops, sorry, had to run to the bus stop and thiought I would head to the grocery store while I was already out. Not feeling well still, hard to get anything accomplished. My moon picture is from this morning actually. Had the Maine cam up this morning, birds crying out-was driving the dog nuts. Computer is still doing wierd things-any screen with motion-live cams-the screen jumps all around..driving me bonkers.

wvgal_dana said...

"Herd of Donkeys" Norma lol

wvgal_dana said...

JIM Was you watching the dive bombing action at Maine??

Mema Jo said...

Maine nest is having problems with intruder.. I don't think they know yet if female or male intruders or one of each. It was confusing last evening as no one got any video recorded - or at least every one went out to look at the moon & take some pics. I just signed in & have not yet opened any other forum for info.

Hello vatray

Good Morning Eagleland!
Norma I got the 'woods' up last evening! Missed the turkeys this am.

Mema Jo said...

NBG eagle just flew off - camera didn't follow.. well it tried to follow - now focused on nest.

paula eagleholic said...

MOrning, all. Awesome eclipse last night. Sorry you missed it Jim, it started around 6-7pm your time...

Mema Jo said...

Love your moon shot Megan. Was really a clear night for viewing!

I think I prefer to watch our peaceful Beautiful Belle rather then getting dizzy watching zoomer cam in NBG.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle in Maine

Mema Jo said...

Maine Nest action last night
It was nearly all Mom and Female C. Is this finders keepers or what?
C found the nest in fairly quiet condition and now seems to think it's her's. So far though, she stands her ground a bit, then clears out if Mom comes in after her. Is C serious about nesting or just having fun flirting with Dad and disrupting things. Some humans do that too

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE!!---The 'original' EAGLE FEMALE is on limb at VA nest---she sees something--keeps looking & 'SQAWKING'!!---Did you get to see the ECLIPSE last night?

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll - nice big dry area

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is 3 here today, so we have almost the same temperatures today.

Egg roll.

There is as much guessing and spectulation at the ME nest as there
is or was at the VA nest.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!!---I saw this on NEWS PROGRAM last night!!---In BISMARK, ND---Weather man threw a cup of water in the air & it froze before landing!----THAT'S COLD!!---& THAT'S COLD at your place too!

deb said...

We didn't get that cold, but I bet in Watertown, SD, they could have done that yesterday. It was -28 without the windchill, Burrr. It was only -11 here.

Divers.

IrisF said...

Good morning, Megan, Dana, Sharon, Helen, Norma, Jim, Wanda, Dave, Paula, Vatray, Jo and Deb!!! Whew hope I got everyone. Serves me right for getting on so late. Will go catch up now..

paula eagleholic said...

Mits and Sharon - nice to see you on here. Glad you are both feeling better!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thank you Paula, good to be back.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jo, Paula, Vatray, Iris, Dave and Watchers ( :

Yes over at Maine it is like Norfolk. Some say it is Dad on limb at Maine some say it is Mom. Their intruder there is a fully grown female.

wvgal_dana said...

Dave I couldn't find any. I thought you had taken some pictures of your eagles there. If so where do I see them at?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' IRIS!!---MORNIN' & WELCOME VATRAY!!---Beautiful SNOWY picture postcard weather here ----Trees are glistening in the sunshine!

MITS said...

WELCOME vatray;)

normabyrd said...

DANA---Do you think the ME video fight was over food!!----We saw that a couple other times!---guess I am trying to find a reason other than taking over nest!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Intruders have to stay out of Shepherdstown. I would hate to drive up there and break out my glock on some intruding eagle. :)

wvgal_dana said...

No Norma "no food has been involved in this happening at Maine".

normabyrd said...

'ATLANTA BEAUTY' MEI--is climbing all around on the 'FUN HAMMOCK"--See LUN LUN coming in!!----This is where they usually start wrestling with each other!!!---Not many more days to watch them playing together!!

wvgal_dana said...

NormaI don't think the Dave that is commenting at Maine is our Dave. Our Dave is from Indiana that Dave is from Conn.

normabyrd said...

NOW---Both are missing at the ATLANTA SITE!!

normabyrd said...

DANA---I am talking about comments made on the BLOG!!----& it was INDIANA DAVE commenting about the blog!!!!

normabyrd said...

KENT is up---NO EAGLES OR SQUIRREL!!

normabyrd said...

COOL SHARON!!---We have special CANES to take care of them!!---EAGLE CANES!!---ho!

Mema Jo said...

I am headed out the door around 11:00 for your neck of the woods Paula..Ledos for lunch with past co-workers.

Sharon I would be right beside you headed for the nest tree if an intruder even flew over the top of the barn!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I knew you would join my posse, Mema Jo! :)

paula eagleholic said...

YUM...Ledo's pizza!

deb said...

I really wonder about the Kent eagles. Last year they laid eggs the first part of March, there isn't a lot of time left to get that nest ready.

normabyrd said...

DANA---I was watching JO'S & I just supposed EAGLE was eating-----------SEE DIFFERENTLY NOW!!---It was nest fixing!---SORRY!!---

deb said...

I was wrong, it was March 21st for the first egg, so we have lots of time yet!

normabyrd said...

SHARON!!!---REMEMBER!!-----MOUNTAINEER EAGLES are hard to bring down!!---TOUGH!!!

normabyrd said...

DEB--About that time we will be watching our little "fuzzy heads"------Can't wait!!!

paula eagleholic said...

What's a glock?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was wondering who would ask what a glock is! :) GUN!

normabyrd said...

DEB---What role do the SIOUX play in your state?---tell me about them!!---Is that a female??

normabyrd said...

WOW!! PAULA!!---Do what I did---GOOGLE!! ho!

normabyrd said...

What's a glock?

MITS said...

geez-looweez, Norma did you eat 2 rice crackers instead of one....I have Baltimore Berger cookies here, and brownies, and I'm desperately trying to stay away from them

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, now you see why I was *#(^@#!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Safe action pistol, Paula.

floralgirl said...

Glock sidearms are common handguns among law enforcement agencies and military organizations around the world.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll, our nest

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Love seeing that snow melt

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Also used by eaglet momsters against intruders at a specified sycamore tree.

floralgirl said...

We may have to install a metal detector for you...

deb said...

Have you heard of Crazy Horse and Wounded Knee? Those are all here in SD. The Natives here were not treated well during those times and are still not doing well. If you visit the towns in western SD, poverty is really bad. Some of the tribes have opened Casino's which is helping their economy some, but not enough. It is a sad situation and there is still a lot of animosity there. Things are slowly starting to change, bringing Native studies to all schools in the state is a positive step. The schools on the reservations are changing how they teach and have started teaching Native languages again. The hope is that bringing pride in their heritage back will help reduce suicide, drugs and alcoholism. I don't want it to sound all bad, as you can see in the picture a lot is being done to bring back old traditions. Pow Wows are a big part of that, using Traditional Dances and music. I wish that there was a way to get past the bad parts of our history, not to forget it, but to forgive it.

I hope that is what you wanted to know and that it wasn't too long.

Dances with Wolves, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Thunderheart--all SD.

normabyrd said...

SORRY--KIDS---i am talking about my sweats hurt "BAD" around my waist!!--Don't tell me that isn't happening to some of you!!---do you all not eat when you are on the blog?--more food on my desk than in my fridge!!!----ho!---

Jill said...

NORMA-Put the food back in the kitchen and make yourself walk out there to get it. Excercise will burn the calories you are going to eat. LOL.

Hello everyone. Have to grab something to eat and run to the store. Need food in the house for the weekend in case I can't get out. Hubby and youngest are leaving for PA tonight. So it will be me and the oldest. Hope electric stays on or I am in big big trouble.

wvgal_dana said...

Been back and forth washing clothes. Keeping up on comments. Dave I thought it wasn't you over there. It says Connt. not Indiana??? You trying to confuse me??? lol

movin said...

Well, this nest watching has got me confused this morning.

Was it the original female or male at the new nest this morning at Norfolk???

If there is still something of a conflict between Norfolk's female's, why isn't it being reported more thoroughly by the experts there??? The bloggers seem as confused as I am...

Was there an intruder at the Maine nest, and if there was, why is there no mention of it or any video on that site???

Why do they never talk about the Maine site on the Maine blog???

One thing is for sure... Both Hummingbird chicks have fledged... Two things: Belle is still hanging in there through rain and snow and sleet.

Good morning, everyone!!

[:~)]

Jim

normabyrd said...

DEB---I didn't realize that was in SD---Have seen some of the movies & did read Wounded Knee, etc.---People love to make fun of WV--that's when I go off!!----I can relate to that---I was hoping you might have some SIOUX in your lineage---That is all so interesting----Did you go to the same school if they were in your area!! ---

deb said...

Eagle at NBG, dang, just flew off. It was sitting on the branch.

deb said...

Norma, I do have some, but it is so small that it doesn't amount to much anymore, something like 1/64th on my dad's paternal side. I wish we knew more about his mother's heritage, as I think she had a lot of Sioux traits in here features.

I was in West Virginia, way back in 1977, what I remember was beautiful. I was on my way back from Dc area and camped there one night, it has been so long I don't remember where.

movin said...

Yes, "Glock" is a famous German arms manufacturer, which makes some fine guns, as do several well known American firms.

[:~)]

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Jim, you have to go to the right place on the Maine forum...the discussion is there

Maine Forum

paula eagleholic said...

The Maine blog, however has not been updated for quite some time



Maine Blog

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, actually he does have a couple of current notes on there, like they were turning on the infrared, which was on last night...

wvgal_dana said...

Jim check your mail

deb said...

This is SD for you. A buffalo escaped in Sioux Falls this morning and was running on the city streets. it was chased by an elementary school, that had to be locked down, since buffalo can be dangerous. The buffalo was eventually shot and killed in a cornfield on the edge of town. Sioux Falls is right around 175,000 people.

Jill said...

Did Donna (Mauley)say anything about the new baby? Maybe I missed it. My cousin was asking me if we had heard from her.

normabyrd said...

PAULA---That's what I was reading this a.m.---posted 2/20--- electric was fixed--last post!!--That is where I found DAVE'S COMMENT!!

Jill said...

Hey Deb, I have seen cattle herded right through the town I grew up in. It was easier to herd them across the bridge than across the river. Never seen a buffalo run through town tho.

normabyrd said...

JILL---MAULEY said no BABY yet--which is good--isn't it---Grand-kids are ill as is daughter's husband & his mother----if my memory is correct----W/check the blog & see if I can find it---POOR ZACK had school!!!---Maysville 7 inches!!

Jill said...

I am going to eat and go to Walmart now. If you don't hear from me by late evening send out a search party. LOL.

Jill said...

NORMA I did see that post last night but I thought I saw her on here this morning. Maybe not. Zach was out watching the eclipse last night, you should have seen his outfit. I will send it to you later if I think about it. He is a mess.

deb said...

That is a first for me, too, Jill. There is a big Bison Round-up every fall in Custer State Park. I would like to go sometime. They round up the bison, brand them and sell off the excess herd. Buffalo meat is pretty good and is supposed to be good for you. Unfortunately, it is expensive.

normabyrd said...

JILL-----10:56 a.m. COMMENT!!----MAULEY!!!

Jill said...

Friends of ours who own quite a bit a land bought a buffalo. Maybe 2. I don't know. He always wanted a buffalo so he went and got one. Go figure. It is way up on the mountain outside of town. I havent' seen it yet. But my oldest was up there visiting and saw it. Nobody told him that it was there and it was standing at the fence right beside the drive way.

Jill said...

Thanks Norma.

paula eagleholic said...

Egg roll our nest

IrisF said...

Deb, I wish too there were more forgivness and less "festering" of old hatreds. We can't change what was (even if we don't endorse it) but we can move forward if we are determined to put the past behind us. Easy to say I guess if one was never discriminated against...
Nevertheless, if God can forgive us, we humans should be able to as well. Man's inhumanity is to each other difficult to understand.

We have been to several PowWows in different States in the U.S. and Territories in Canada and have really enjoyed the enthusiasm and spirit we found at them.

deb said...

There used to be thousands of buffalo here, but they were killed for sport and just left lying where they were shot. Now quite a few ranches in western SD raise them for meat. Here in eastern SD, there aren't as many.

I wish they had a zoomer in Maine, so we could see what is going on.

deb said...

I was going to go to a PowWow this past summer, which would have been my first. My dad got sick with pneumonia and I had to go to CA. Luckily, my dad recovered against all the doctors opinions. I need to make a list of all the things I want to see and start checking them off.

movin said...

Take a peek at Steffi's Catalina Report this week. Interesting new pairs and nests...

I looked up the strange sounding tree she mentions in Wikipedia, and it is also known as the Channel Islands Oak.

ZZ is climbing her trees, maybe sleeping by now....

I'll try to take a look at your link, Paula.

[:~)]

Jim

deb said...

Eagle at BC.

movin said...

Thanks, Paula, that's the same blog that has no info or videos about the latest intrusion.

normabyrd said...

IRIS---Thank You!---You have said it so beautifully!!--Seems we don't understand even when we try------But we must keep trying to understand each other---that would be a start---

IrisF said...

For sure Norma, for sure we HAVE to keep trying!

normabyrd said...

DANA & JIM--On the blog comments at ME--One video 2/21--6:15 a.m. (min. might be wrong)---Just shows an EAGLE flying in--sitting---then leaving!!---Some other videos--don't know whats on them---weren't dated 2/21!!

normabyrd said...

DANA---Here is the mix up with 2 Daves----There is a blog there & Conn. Dave is on that----IND. DAVE--WENT ON THE BLOG TO COMMENT ON THE STATEMENT DAVE CONN. HAD MADE!!

I hope that is more clear---let me know!!!

Mema Jo said...

Well the 2 Dave's are as confusing as all this eagle commotion. lol

Boy I sure like a simple life! Doesn't take much to keep me happy -
I guess all I ask is .....
Don't Confuse Me With The Facts!

Now I do think the bad weather is going to hit us tonight and stick around all day Friday into Saturday.
At least I am making Chicken Noodle Soup & getting some foods that I don't need to cook - just in case the ice takes down our electric...

I have already started praying for our eagles!!!!

Thanks Megan - I had also read that but not sure what to think that it indicates... Young female chickened out & not ready to raise a family...?

Shoot, I missed it.

deb said...

Could you tell who it was, Paula?

deb said...

I am off to get my hair cut, then up to SF for errands and the Eagle Awareness Days presentation at the Outdoor Campus. There will be a live Raptor Program, so I will, hopefully get some good pictures. BBL.

Hi, eagle lovers. We got about 5 inches of snow up on this mountain yesterday. I left around 3:00 to get my hair cut and didn't get here til 11:00 this AM due to a dentist appointment. It's 20 degrees right now. Was 2 degrees at my house this AM. Tonight and tomorrow doesn't look good weatherwise. DEB - South Dakota is one of the states I'd love to visit sometime - in particular Badlands Nat'l Park. I have forgotten when we could possibly see our first eaglet. Could someone remind me?

Egg roll our nest

Danelle said...

Hi everyone! Just now getting on here. I see the hummingbirds have both fledged. :( I enjoyed watching those little guys. How's everyone doing?

paula eagleholic said...

Looked like Dad to me...at VA - it wasn't BBB (3b) (Big Beaked Bertha - the new female)

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Danelle!!

Danelle said...

Hi Paula! How are ya?

IrisF said...

Carol, I marked roughly the 8th of March on my calendar - give or take a couple of days...I stand to be corrected though - might have gotten it wrong.

Danelle said...

Thanks mema jo for the update on Sandy! That is music to my ears. :)

Danelle said...

JILL-you still on here?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

The first egg will hatch on March 6, my 46th birthday!

Danelle said...

Hey SHARON-that's my b-day too! I'll be 27.

Jill said...

I just came back Danelle. Went to walmart and survived.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Very good Danelle! I had a niece and a nephew born on my birthday - one on my 13th and one on my 18th. It is a very good day for an eaglet to be hatched!

Danelle said...

Hi JILL! I swear, they should make t-shirts that say that. I stay away from Walmart at all costs.

I saw on yesterday's blog that you travel I-81. I heard there was a really bad accident on there. I can totally sympathize with the traffic frustration. I used to drive up to Hagerstown hospital (where I worked for 2 years) and I came across many an accident. And then when you get on 11, it's just as bad because everyone tries to go that way too! It's nuts! I remember it took me 2 hours one time to get to Inwood from Hagerstown. Insane! That's one of the many reasons why I now work at a hospital in Ranson, much closer to home and no highways!

Danelle said...

I agree Sharon! :)

floralgirl said...

Sounds like we may need one very large birthday cake on March 6th.

Jill said...

Danelle- it took me an hour from exit 13 to the state line. I had read on the net that southbound was closed, I find out today that both lanes were closed. If I had known that I would have gone up 11 or just stayed home. I came back 11 most of the way and it wasn't too bad. Anybody traveling 81 during bad weather needs to remember that the bridge at the 23 mile marker is extremely dangerous. That is where most of the accidents happen during bad weather.

Danelle said...

hahaha, thanks floragirl. Sounds good to me! Cake is my favorite dessert, well, besides cheesecake. I just absolutely love the icing on cakes! :)

MITS said...

did someone say, CAKE?????

Jill said...

Walmart wasn't too bad but I imagine it will get progressively worse as people get off work tonight and realize they need bread milk and toilet paper. Who here couldn't get by with what they have in the house right now? I only got the things I really really needed, I havent' been to the grocery store in 3 weeks so we were a bit low.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hey Mits, your ears sure did perk up to cake! :)

I like the whipped icing myself.

Jill said...

My friend made a red velvet cake with lemon cream cheese icing. It was delicious.

Danelle said...

Yummmm!!! That sounds delicious! Hahaha-Mits, you sure crack me up. Sounds like we should have a cake party! :)

Mauley said...

Oh, Mits, Cake is my weakness, too. I love cake. donna

Mauley said...

Do I have wax?
