Sissy, I have been thinking of that, too. If one of my girls had comitted suicide, I would forever think that I had failed them in some way. It would haunt me til the day I died. Prayers for that family, for sure.

glo said...

Good morning all. Still more prayers for Mason and his family. Thanks for taking time to share al that you have Megan. Hope everyone is looking forward to a nice Labor Day Weekend. Glad to see the still cam working this am. I didn't even have a chance to try it the last ocuple of days.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, we have a split. Wish we still did FACIALS...I need one. Taking Gene to the beach for a belated B'day present next week. Would like to look better. Oh, well, It Is What It Is!! LOL

Costume Lady said...

Glo, you must be among the priviledged few, my still cam is stuck!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh Wanda, you can't be any more beautiful!! You are the last one to need a facial!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Glo, the still cam is stuck on the 27th. At least mine still is. Is ya'lls workin?

magpie said...

Glo, are you checking out the SEA EAGLES at Water Nest Finland? they have really been putting on a show! Are you working this week-end?

WHERE IS NORMA THIS MORNING, DID I MISS SOMETHING ?

XO

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

They are shining a light on Lun's suzy!! She closed her legs. She is shy. Reckon they think she is in labor?

Costume Lady said...

Margy, you took the words right out of my mouth...I was just getting ready to ask the same thing.
Really miss her CHEER greeting in the morning. Hope she is OK. We do worry about OUR OWN don't we?

Costume Lady said...

Panda Cam is off line...could that mean a birth is near??

MITS said...

my Atlanta panda cam is on...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

i am watching it wanda. I opened it up on the Windows Media Player this morning and it is still running. She is in a ball, laying there.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

They are still shining a light on her little suzy so it may be!!

MITS said...

Lun seems to be resting, if and when she is labor, you will know

MITS said...

my NCTC cam is still not working

MITS said...

wish Atlanta had audio:(

Costume Lady said...

My URL for Atlanta Zoo is :
http://www.zooatlanta.org/images/animals/panda/pandacam_offline.jpg Can someone give me another URL, please?

MITS said...

ATLANTA PANDA CAM

MITS said...

that 5 minute limit on the Atlanta cam is also annoying

magpie said...

Hooded Crow at Ferry Boat Finney's -
probably scrounging for leftovers.
Two now and a boat going by

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, Helen.

Costume Lady said...

Still no Panda cam for me. Will try later...it's probable swamped with viewers.

Anne-Marie said...

good morning eagle family! I'm up and running and happy as a clam.

Anne-Marie said...

It will 105 today so I will be working inside.

Anne-Marie said...

Guess everyone is busy. BBL

magpie said...

Hi Anne-Marie....well, trying to make myself sit down and pay bills..
Cleaned out my electric coffee grinder this morning and got grounds ALL OVER THE PLACE... so my kitchen got a cleaning it wasn't expecting. My mother used to just throw beans into the "Osterizer" - think I might dig that up if I can find it...

Good to "See You." 105-that's might darn hot! We are probably in the 70's, got some much needed rain in the last 36 hours.

Hope all is well out your way.
Where it is still morning! Our Eagle Cam pic has been "frozen" in place for two days now...not sure what is up there.

Well, back to the checkbook. Woof !

xo

magpie said...

...I am grateful, though, that I have in income with which to pay these bills...

movin said...

iT'S still morning in California, so...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!


Hi, Anne-Marie, glad to see you fixed your computer or got a new one. Good to see you back on the threads.

I was up for an hour or so earlier, didn't feel too great, so I went back to bed. It really helped, and I feel 'back amongst the living' now.

movin said...

Has anyone seen Finney's chick on the nest today??

I haven't, and I'm thinking she might have left around midday yesterday for the winter.


C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

movin said...

Those Hooded Crows are back on the Water Nest in Finland.

oops. It refreshed and they're gone.



C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

magpie said...

MOVIN: I haven't seen the chick at Finney's nest all day, been checking pretty regularly. Haven't seen any Ravens either..

Sea Eagles and the Hooded Crows have been in the Water Nest a Bunch!

Haven't seen any updates from Suzanne yet today regarding the Finney Nest either ...

Have A Great Day...

movin said...

There's a new Northern Islands Report posted today with some interesting sightings of eagles and some good pictures...


C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim


Northern Islands

MITS said...

off to the sun deck...BBL

movin said...

Suzanne thinks the Finnish chick might have migrated too. Here's a quote from an email she wrote this morning...

Jim


"I think the chick may have left. I was watching yesterday, and last time I saw the chick was 7:05, 14:05 their time. I checked again off and on
until I left, but never did see the chick back in the nest again.

I can't imagine him taking off in the middle of the afternoon like that,
but maybe he just wanted to get started. I've checked a couple times
this morning, and nobody has been home.

Chick may well be on the way to Africa now."

NatureNut said...

Hi Everyone. Well day done & our one online 'puter here at work JUST went on!! Have read some, but checking on Atlanta. Cam just showed keeper taking bamboo inside. Where are the pandas? Or are they not being shown for a GOOD reason?
Helen, you mentioned the frosted glass. Yes, it is a good deterent for birds. We have been using at Park bldgs. falcon silhouettes. Not real reliable. We have etched vinyl here at exhibit shop that could be cut into any design. I'm gonna suggest it.
Back to Atlanta before I leave.xxxxx

NatureNut said...

Atlanta is showing one panda back in the corner (outside?) munching bamboo, so I guess that's not Lun.

NatureNut said...

Gonna hit the trail.

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy all!

Not home yet...made a little stopover in Martinsburg to see Margy....sitting in her house right now...

Yes, I went to NCTC today...didn't see any eagles....and not many people for that matter either...Steve is off and most staff have taken off early for the long holiday weekend. Sorry, thought he would be there so I could let him know about the cam.

movin said...

Just got a newletter from the SD Zoo, and here's a bit about ZZ.

Jim


"Our panda cub Zhen Zhen is starring in her own documentary, which debuts on Sunday, September 7, at 8 p.m. on KPBS! Go behind the scenes for a rare look at her first year, as the KPBS production crew follows her story from birth to her first birthday. ..."

Oh, that was funny, I posted as paula eagleholic..forgot to change the posting name..let's try that again..

magpie said...

MEMA: How was that appointment...can't wait to hear how your day went..

MOVIN: THANKS FOR POSTING THE CHANNEL ISLANDS UPDATES.

Good Afternoon to All, Safe travels. Hope whatever your Labor Day Week-end plans are, including Working, go well.

SURE WAS FUN TO HAVE A VISIT FROM PAULA! She got to see my inside flamingoes !

MITS said...

ok I have no idea how you did that Margy??

movin said...

Catch you all later. Got to take care of some business, do some errands, shop for vittles.........

Jim

magpie said...

MITS: Paula stopped by here after her visit to NCTC, to deliver an order, and I invited her to jump on the blog...so she switched users name to do it, and I didn't realize until after I posted mine. Funny, huh?

I was almost famous for a few brief moments...

Now back to my same old self...

xo

MITS said...

Friday, August 29
Hi, panda folks,

Hmmmm, yeah, I can't top yesterday's entry. Nope, not even going to try. So I'll just give you a quick rundown: Yang Yang and Mei Lan are contentedly munching bamboo, completely oblivious to the high drama being played out just down the hall. Lun Lun is still pregnant, still sleeping, and still keeping us all in this agonizing state of waiting. Cross your fingers, and maybe send a bit of benign mental encouragement Lun's way – she's stubborn, but without a foil hat there's no way she can resist us all.

GUESS WE WILL JUST HAVE TO RELY ON THE ATLANTA NEWSPAPERS AND TV TO GIVE US THE NEWS

magpie said...

Gonna tackle this Kodak Easy share problem for a few minutes, going to do a restart...

Back in a little while...


The skies are clearing here...

MITS said...

ok that is right, forgot she was there....duh me;)

magpie said...

That little egg at WildWatch Osprey is getting moved around the nest....

And the burrowing owls are hanging out in the burrow....

hedgie said...

Hi gang!
Long day....had to go to Berkeley Springs to get meds for dog...lab report back w/ terrible results...heavy e. coli growth in urine...antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for 6 wks. (not cheap, either!).
TV guy said tv is beyond help...no parts available. Said I am lucky to have gotten 8 yrs. out of a projection tv......did my online shopping comparisons and WalMart had the best sale price...so went and got that. Now to disconnect everything and MARK it before SIL's brother and friend come to take out the big one. New one is a flat screen...WOW!!!
Hope everything is ok w/ Steve!!
Lots of interesting tidbits today...will comment as I think of them...gotta laugh at Lun Lun's activity, per Sissy!!!
I think Norma ran off w/ her tv man so I couldn't get to him!
Wake up, Mason.
So sorry about the young man who committed suicide. Prayers for his family.
Wanda, you and the Capt. are going to the beach at a perfect time of year! You are taking the Eagle Express, aren't you?

hedgie said...

Wanda, dear, you are beautiful just the way you are!! You DESERVE a facial, but you sure don't need one!
How cool that Paula visited Margy!

Mema Jo said...

Magpie The bill collectors are going to be knocking on your door if you don't get those checks written!!!!
Steve had his check up on his knee today with the orthopedic surgeon. I hope he got a good 'hiking' report!

I get auto news bulletins from AJC in Atlanta so I should get the heads up on any Panda birth & you know I would post it immediately.

My 10:30 lasted until 3:00 and I headed home for an hour or so Panda Nap! I've had dinner & now I am preparing some foods for family get together at daughter's tomorrow.

paula eagleholic said...

Margy - Thank you for your wonderful hospitality! I left there with a container of yummy soup and a pretty candle! Thank you again!

paula eagleholic said...

Today, Jo and I went to NCTC to meet with a biologist/educator who is working on "beefing up" the teachers/students section of the FWS site from our cam.

We also took a walk under the nest...didn't find any turtle shells (poor Jo), but we did find part of a catfish...will upload it to the EM blog shortly.

The lady we met with is also developing some educational tools for use in the classroom...

magpie said...

You are more than welcome, Paula...it was great to see you and get the exciting news about the beefing up of the educational section on the NCTC site...it will do Shepherdstown and West Virginia Proud...and I just got my Eagle picture framed and hung up near my computer.

Thanks for taking the time to swing by here during your travels and I'm glad you are off the Holiday Highways.

MEMA: Going to mail those checks right now! Say a little prayer I don't get stopped for my stay-on-all-the-time brake lights...better too much than not enough, I guess.

TTFN ENJOY THE EVENING, IT'S A BEAUT !

XXOO

magpie said...

Oh Hedgie: You are gonna have it made in the shade just in time for Football season with the flat screen Television. Nice Going. Sorry, so sorry, about the pooch, though, hope the medications work quickly...

NOW, TTFN

paula eagleholic said...

BBL, heading out for a bite to eat

Mema Jo said...

Whoa! I though Margie was going to get on me about going home for a Panda nap and not coming over to see her with Paula. A pretty candle .. A container of soup .. Maybe next time!

Mema Jo said...

Checking out my afternoon emails...

BBL

MITS said...

so do we have to address you as Professor Paula and MeMa Jo now:)...tee-hee:)

deb said...

Hi, everyone. I am home from another windy day.

I got to help with Gabby's meds today, what a difference. I held him the first day back from the Raptor Center and there was nothing to him. I was so upset. Today, I had to keep a fairly tight grip on him so he wouldn't get loose. He eats like a horse, and that is so nice to see. No wheezing today either.

A man from Huron, SD, was in with his 500 mm lens on Monday. Today he stopped back in with a couple of DVD's of his pictures. I will post some of them later tonight, they are great pictures. First, laundry! BBL

deb said...

Ooh, I peeked at his pictures, he even gave me his eagle nest pictures. They are so neat, can't wait, but laundry is first.

MITS said...

no no....laundry can wait:):)

deb said...

Ha, Mits. I have one load in already, I had inspiration to not dawdle! I am working on it now!

MITS said...

ok, going to get something to eat...bbl

deb said...

All I know about the nest is that it is on the Missouri River and is across from a town. He hides in a blind and can look down on the nest. Boat drive under the nest, but very few people know the nest is there. I am hoping to get more info the next time he comes, but I may never get the location. Whoever owns the land must have some resources and is considering a web cam. I vote Yes!

glo said...

Well I have had a busy wonderful day and am just now reading the blogs from the day. Gosh so the still cam is stuck. Well that stinks. Guess I was just glad to see a picture. Didn't even look at the date and time My bad :(

deb said...

I now know a little more. The nest looked familiar and it is the same one where the eagle was swimming with the fish.

Go here is see the videos of the nest:

Missouri River nest

Pictures are on my page now. Click on the eagle in the nest and that will bring up the pictures. Then you can click on the first picture to open the album in bigger pictures and arrow through them. The photographer's name is Craig Wollman.

Costume Lady said...

Loved that video, Deb. It is absolutely amazing to watch that big bird tip-toe around those eggs, ever so gently.

deb said...

I added the osprey and eagle pictures from Lake Yankton, the first pictures are Craig's up to Gabby in the medical ward, mine start with the young eagle in flight to the end. Wait until you see our brave little osprey battling the eagle! Too bad the one lost his fish to the eagle, but it is making them stronger for the battles they will face in life. I am glad we are here to feed them after they work so hard.

MITS said...

Deb, that is the best video of a nest I have ever seen, it was perfect...close enough to see everything...would love to see a cam there..eagles pics were great also, now did you say you just added more opsrey pics?

MITS said...

ok, got them....spectacular Deb:)

deb said...

I have been suffering from lens envy all week, but the lens he has is around $6,000, so I will continue to suffer!

MITS said...

oh dear...that is a wee bit expensive...if I ever play the lottery and win, I'll buy you one....but don't hold your breath, I rarely play....:)

deb said...

That is funny, one of the other volunteers said the same thing today. He takes a lot of pictures, too, so we are going to get each other one when we win the lottery. It is hard to win, though, when you don't play!

MITS said...

yeah, I know, but it is something about gambling, I just don't get, I play when the amount gets big:)

Mema Jo said...

My computer said I was running out of disc space.... so I had to take time to clean it up!

Deb - I have viewed the video & others of his that were there... Looked at the pic on your blog...
Little Gabby looks like he is longing to be free! Thankful Jane won't let him go until he is really ready.

Helen - if you hadn't been at the beach you would have been right by my side!!! I had some of NCTC crab soup - this time the label said BALTIMORE CRAB SOUP - go figure that one! lol Really good!

Mema Jo said...

Helen - in order to get the bridge traffic moving - they eliminated the
tolls! Don't see how that helped anything except the attitudes of the drivers......

MITS said...

I have had the bridge cam on all day, it is still bumper to bumper, I had read they had only eliminated the toll til the traffic had clear, which it had around 6, but became very heavy again this evening...I would have loved to have been there, Jo....yummy..I have not had any steamed crabs yet this summer....going to have to remedy that

Costume Lady said...

Mema Jo said...

Tomorrow the menu out at Jenny's is fried turkey and steamed crabs!

Costume Lady said...

I'm having trouble getting on here...blogger cop would not recognize me.

Costume Lady said...

CRABS, huh? What time do we eat, Jo?

Mema Jo said...

For some reason Jenny said for us to be there at 3:40 pm.... Odd time.

Did you take GeeGee for her crab legs tonight? Wondering how the
appetite meds worked.

deb said...

I have been watching flights for October, which airport is the best for me to fly into? The cheapest one is the one in Baltimore, not the ones in DC.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, GeeGee and Wanda got their fill of crab legs as did a few other family members. Mom's not sure if the meds are working yet or not. Doctor said it would be a few days before she will notice an improvement in her appetite. She ate just 1 plate of crabs, some soup, and a plate of fruits, which was surrounded by cookies and ice cream.

Mema Jo said...

All that would sure fill me up!

MITS said...

Baltimore is a good choice Deb....

Mema Jo said...

DEB - You fly into BWI Baltimore!

I am getting a little over excited by your question!

WHOO HOO

SD Deb might be in WV in OCT

Mema Jo said...

Anne Marie emailed that her plans haven't changed and she will also
be coming in!

We have to check out Lollie now!

MITS said...

is it the 18th of Oct?

Costume Lady said...

I see an EAGLE TALON in Deb's future!! Hooray!!

Costume Lady said...

I don't think Lolly trusts us. Wasn't she the one who said she was a little leary of people who talk to photographs?

Mema Jo said...

Yes it is the 18th. Sounds like this is a going be the best one so far!!! May need a private room for
dinner instead of the Tavern...

deb said...

When I checked Expedia, I got different prices than Orbitz. Then one of the DC airports was cheaper. I will keep my eye on the Baltimore one then. It is cheaper than I thought it would be, especially by going out of Omaha.

Costume Lady said...

HELEN, Oct. 18....10-4pm

Mema Jo said...

First week in Sept I'll get started making arrangements. Think I'll ask for some committee members for different events (lunch at NCTC - Dinner at Rumsey - Sun Market)

You all will be hearing from me because this isn't a one Momster show anymore!

Costume Lady said...

I have a suggestion: we could all meet in the main building at, say 10ish and all ride over to the nest in the Eagle Express and then back to NCTC for lunch. Just a suggestion (give it some thought).

Costume Lady said...

Or, we could pick up at the Clarion.

magpie said...

Aaaaah...slipped through the back streets and got my bills paid and picked up some groceries too. Only policeman I saw was AHEAD of me...
now gotta lie low until the next round of diagnostics. Too many electronics on this stupid buggy...
can't wait 'til the day I can switch to something much simpler.
Well, the ice cream is beginning to melt since I plunked down here first, so, a bowl of that and then on to the new pictures and videos!
MEMA: YOU ARE FORGIVEN, THOUGH I WOULD HAVE LOVED FOR YOU TO SEE MY "VEGETABLE GARDEN" AND FLAMINGOES..

XO Back Soon. Anyone want some Chocolate Moose Tracks...?

(That's not nice, is it...)
xo

Mema Jo said...

I'll get over to see your veggies and maybe even see Wanda's one of these days.

It is almost Pumpkin time! Helen
this year take the pumpkins home to the M&M gals!

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - when are you going to start setting up shop?


That could be an option on the 18th
LIKE meet at the Clarion to go to the nest - then lunch - then NCTC
activities until 4 pm.

OR you're on your own until Lunchtime at NCTC.... I think we need a banner for the lunch room...

Mema Jo said...

I wonder if Candy will come up again.
She makes a good brownie!!!!

MITS said...

now you are making me homesick....will be back the week of Sept. 8th, but looks packed and jammed, then have to be back, friend will be visiting the week of the 15th, and I do love the beach in September

magpie said...

Ferry Boat with Lights just going past the Water Nest site now...uh make that JUST WENT past, but there is a little boat with lights along the shore pretty close to the nest...maybe waiting to watch the Sea Eagles when they come in.

Wow, this ice cream is pretty good.

MITS said...

yes Candy's wedding will be over by then

MITS said...

I've never seen a boat there before

MITS said...

wonder if it docked there for the night

MITS said...

think that ferry boat might have been a cruise ship, it was huge

Mema Jo said...

I thought that with the picture the other evening..... Cruise boat....
I wonder where our Finny nest on the water really is?

Costume Lady said...

Jo, I will begin readying the shop the whole month of Sept. I still have some costumes that need to have the wrinkles steamed out and probably a hundred that need to be priced. Oodles of accessories to price and merchandise. Those racks that I bought from Jill sure do help display things better. We have made arrangements to take off all day on the 18th. So the Eagle Express and the Capt. are at our disposal.

Costume Lady said...

Whatever that boat was, it was a beautiful photo.

Mema Jo said...

Large ship going by Frieda's ledge

I just wonder when we are ever going to see Frieda or Frodo on the cam..

Mema Jo said...

Finny isn't in her nest -- Jim & Suz think that she fledged yesterday afternoon........

Mema Jo said...

Do you see someone in that boat with a white shirt on?

Mema Jo said...

Going to call it a night..... especially if I need to be at Jenny's at 3:40 pm! I'll have to let you know why the crazy arrival time!

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

Wake up Mason! It's Friday night

(((hugs)))

MITS said...

ok, guess I'll hit the sack too, hope I can get to sleep before 2 this night, and not like last night....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE....WAKE UP MASON:)

Costume Lady said...

I'm next...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL....WAKE UP MASON, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

deb said...

I put another load in the dryer and towels in washer. Towels can sit until tomorrow if I don't fold them tonight!

Watching for sea eagles, but headed to shower now.

magpie said...

Well, the computer is a positive poke tonight but I sure enjoyed those new photos, DEB - had a little trouble withe video starting and stopping, gonna reset the computer and try again in a little while. The photos, absolutely breathtaking, both yours and Craig's...
Back on later to say good night.
I'm pretty sure that little boat has been there all night...saw lights just before I went out earlier.
xo Good Night to those heading for the Feather Pillows now...
(Wonder if it is going to be "Thursday" all week-end...)

magpie said...

Incoming....one sea eagle and I think he brought something with him...

MITS said...

sea eagle just arrived

MITS said...

think it dropped down the hole

MITS said...

here comes the other one

hedgie said...

Well, caught up on all your blogs! Everyone seems to be having fun! I have been toiling trying to figure out all these connections on the new TV. ALMOST done, but too tired, miffed and confused right now, so time for bath and some relaxding before I turn in.
The excitement is building for the 18th of Oct. Can't wait!! So hoping that everyone comes.
Helen, is jubby already at the beach or is he having to deal w/ the traffic tonight/tomorrow? Poor guy!
Deb, will check out your additions after bath.
Rest well, all. See you tomorrow!

MITS said...

Lyn he will be coming early a.m. tomorrow...it has been one colossal mess...Night!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Late but getting to finally check in.
See talk of some "maybe plans" for Open House.
Only got to read 201-326 comments.
HEDGIE praying your doggie gets well fast.

deb said...

Oh, the sea eagles are so beautiful. Glad I got to see them. Hi, Dana! Glad you made it on.

Night all, late guest scheduled to arrive soon.

magpie said...

HEDGIE: You have probably already disappeared for the night, but I wanted to tell you I am enjoying some Hydrox cookies right now!

magpie said...

I'll bet that boater is having the time of his life at the Water Nest...maybe a photographer....
Would sure like to be there watching up close like that...

NatureNut said...

Just checking before bedtime.Was busy & didn't get meerkats on yet, but "tomorrow is another day"!
Deb your pics are GREAT!!!Thx for taking us on your great adventure! Loved the video of eagle nest (in color!!! hint, hint!)Super angle & that bird was so dainty w/her feet!
I wish they could put up a deer stand or something at the Park so there could be a better view esp. for pics of our eagle nest. (If they come back next year.)
How great Paula & Jo went to NCTC today & Margy got company! And Deb, are you really coming in Oct???? I printed out MapQuest in June & have it in car!!!I'm ready now! Got my hair cut yesterday.
Steve needs to do his cyber access!
Wonder if the Beavers won.
Gotta hit the hay---AM work---BOO. A politico type lady w/45 guests is having a picnic in our office area--hope I'm not involved. They even are bringing in a 2nd pontoon boat from another Park for her group.
Good night everyone.
WAKE UP SAT,MASON!! Prayers for all.

magpie said...

Now the Hooded Crows are picking through the nest...

NatureNut said...

Just checked Finland on the water--no Sea Eagles, but a couple neat hooded crows.

Shutting down for real!!! Night

movin said...

wELL, there's still no sign of the Finney's chick, and the nest looks unchanged....

What a GREAT day that will be. A regular LOVE FEST! LOL
Hope we all get to see Lib & Belle.

Costume Lady said...

Coffee was great...we got a new coffee maker yesterday and it makes a very good brew.
DANA, good to see you this morning. We have missed your morning visits. How have you been?

Costume Lady said...

Margy, are you going to be able to join us at Open House on the 18th? How about Miss Dana?

MITS said...

Dana, I just checked....water temp for today is 74

MITS said...

where is ROBO STEVE?

wvgal_dana said...

74 huh that's not bad >>>>stick your toe in and see hee hee

Wanda Good Morning Dear ( :
Always plan on catching Open House.
Are we planning a dinner at Rumsey Tavern around 4 or 5 this time?
(Happy Belated Birthday Gene)

Costume Lady said...

It is 67° and cloudy here, going up to 80°. Very dismal looking right now.

Costume Lady said...

I believe so, Dana. We are going to fill that Tavern up!

WANDA - New car, New coffee maker, what's next ?? !! ??

I certainly hope to be at the Open House...there, will beg, borrow and steal to get the time off if I have to, won't know schedules for awhile, but I wouldn't want to miss it FOR THE EAGLE WORLD!

Ha Ha, my vegetable garden, is a little resin/plastic thing I picked up at the Rescue Mission store, has watermelon, potatoes, carrots (or maybe hot peppers...) - cabbage, corn, yellow squash, beets, eggplant, all neatly arranged in a little box...more like a display of produce than a garden......It's about the size of a box of butter !

Gene is so lucky, he has had 2 B'Day celebrations and friends have invited us for another party this afternoon. He loves his birthday. I wonder why!!

wvgal_dana said...

Margy it will be overflowing with vetagables with this rain.

Yes it would make you wonder why Gene would be liking his birthday lol

But Wanda it's his birthday he is getting the celebrations but YOU ARE GETTING THE GIFTS (laughing to hard here)

Costume Lady said...

LOVE those THRIFT STORES, Margy. I think I told the story of going to a Thrift Store and saw a clerk trying to untangle a bunch of jewelry. I offered her a couple of dollars for all so she wouldn't have to untangle them...got them home and the majority of the jewelry was 14kt gold and even a few small diamonds. Kept some, sold some.

magpie said...

Yes, Wanda, they are my favorite shopping places, I frequently check for pictures and frames, often find something with a double or triple matte, take the picture out if I don't care for it, and re-frame something.
I love the jewelry story!

xoxo

Costume Lady said...

Dana (LOL), last year we went shopping on his birthday and he got me some clothes. It's easier for me to find something I like than him. IT IS WHAT IT IS! LOL
Love my gift for this birthday.

wvgal_dana said...

Norma only count 7 donkeys out at this time. They need more sleep. More will be up later.

GOOD MORNING Mits, Wanda, Margy, and early Jim.

I wanted last summer a different cloth (don't like the plastic) table cloth for the pinic table for reunion. Went to Goodwill and bingo found a great one.

magpie said...

I got a pair of black velvet (velveteen I guess) Bib Overalls once - could dress them up with a nice blouse and wear them to church! Wore them out, bent over once and got a big split in the back! Also got a pair of plain velveteen pans, have worn them about 75 times and you would never know it! Each of the two, cost less than $2.00...my kind of price!

xo TTFN gotta get some cards in the mail...

wvgal_dana said...

What ever happened with "Buddy" the eaglet?

Costume Lady said...

It was so much fun to look for antiques and old books, magazines and sheet music at the Thrift Stores when I was in that business. I really miss looking for those things but have no time or outlet for selling them. I once got a newspaper announcing the death of Abraham Lincoln (it was deemed authentic) and sold it for a tidy little sum. I wish, now, that I still had it!

Costume Lady said...

The whole newspaper was edged in black. Very good condition.

Costume Lady said...

Dana, the crab legs were soooo good last night and they did a good job of keeping the pan full. Waitress was very friendly (they are usually so somber) she even carried Mom's plate back to the table. Never had that happen before!

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda you all are going so often they are getting to know you all too well ( :

MITS said...

Tian is enjoying a frosty treat;)

MITS said...

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I see he is Mits ty....a constant lick lick lick lol

MITS said...

Mei on 1, and Tian on 2

wvgal_dana said...

Lucked out at K-Mart yesterday....needed bedroom slippers. The pair I get are 14.99 they were marked down to 5.00 got to register they were 3.00...can't beat that. Went back to slippers got another pair.

A comforter a person got was $29.99 when they put it through register it was $19.99. Don't know why no signs showing stuff was marked down.

Great buys at K-Mart!!! If you go your item might be alot less that tag.
