What a joy it has been watching the little Miracle.
I wish we had an eaglet behavioral expert who could tell us if Hidey is Hidey :) because s/he is an only child.
Happy, Happiest ever Birthday and 90 candles for Hedgie's Mom.
We love your little Lynn, Mrs. Hedgie.
Hidey's in the nest!
It is nice to wake up and see Hidey, it looks like she is thinking of taking off.
No, I think she is eating!
LOLLY!!---I have a suggestion for you---keep forgetting to tell you--how about a JOURNAL for your grand-kids--in re:--all the trips you take together--fun things you do---what kids enjoy most, etc--I thought buying the shoes--& other things they enjoy or don't enjoy on your trips would make good reading for them later!!---ho!

And there she went.
Good morning everybody! Sleep good Magpie!
She is an eaglet who knows when she expects food to be delivered! I think there is a fish tail at 6:00 o'clock in the nest.
Off to get ready for work, bbl.
Eaglet at BWO and one of the rebels just flew out of the nest onto a branch where adult is
Deb, hope you have a better day at work.
MORNIN' SHARON!---Have you all had all the LIGHTING--THUNDER STORMS with HEAVY RAIN yet!---We had it all night---think it is predicted again today in WV!---
SHARON--remember tomorrow is a holiday for state employees!!---WV DAY is SAT---But state offices closed tomorrow---
Going to WELLNESS CTR today--so am rushing around--getting dressed--
Yes, Normabyrd, the streets are dry in Bluefield but it is overcast. Would love to see the sun but then I would be fussing about being hot.
Sissy, Tom and Mattie leave tomorrow for Kure Beach. Andrew and Kelsey are going Monday. My baby boy turns "20" on Monday. So hard to believe. If I only had a babysitter for 8 dogs, I would be going with them on Monday. (My 4 and Sissy's 4, oh yeah, and her cat). :)
Tomorrow is also my twin brothers', Randy and Ronnie, birthdays. They will be 59!
SHARON---Surely you have some one in your area that sets with pets--It will be hard for you not to go with the crew!---We have kennels here in area that will do that--LISA had a lady that came to the house so many times a day, etc--& left a log of everything---(even when the dogs would poo-poo)!---ho!
There are storms all over it seems. I read Norma had Tornado Warnings last night. the storms that rolled through here are headed towards Glo, I think,
Good Morning In Eagleland and those watchers.
Deb glad you made it through the bad storm
Prayers for the 14 year old, Deb and Hedgie's friends
Mema Jo so happy about your checkup, Norma

Still running around...today to Union Hall.
Lynn (our Hedgie) knows and has been through this too. Cutting out some benefits on Retiree's and raising the amount to pay. We just PRAY about health and health care and keep going. What else can one do..
Prayer is such a wonderful realease.
If we didn't have faith Ed and me would be nuts
by now.
WHERE do those twin brother live SHARON?----I pray you can work it out---you need a break too!!
WONDERFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU----DANA!!---prayers for all in need---

Good morning Eagle Buds!!! Was able to sleep a little later today. Miss my morning kisses, though. Today is going to be busy. We are getting the trailer and starting to load!!! We leave Monday morning for Colorado. Laurel and boys get here Sunday. Going to a family wedding in Dallas Sunday afternoon. So basically we have just three days to get ready.
NORMA....I have made books for the boys after our trips. I use the computer to prints photo albums and tell about the trip. Then take it to be laminated and bound. Helps with the memories.
Happy 90th birthday to Lynn's Momma! That is very special!!! Enjoy her Lynn! Love her lots!!!!
Cute little boy story...........................
We have pictures of all three grandchildren as well as many other babies taken with name trains that Jack has made. Jacob was looking at the three pictures. He told Jack "I was the cutest baby." Jack told him that all three of his grandsons were cute. Jacob picked up his pictures, walked over to Jack and said softly, "But I was very much cuter."
I guess there is an eaglet in that tree the OK cam is showing. I am not sure I see it though.
I am off to work, later.
Prayers to all that need it,Prayers to all that want it, and prayers to all for safe journeys.Prayers to you for peace of mind and happy thoughts of the ones you have lost.Prayers for you for the guidance of all treatments that many are going through that they will be successful.
Best wishes for all birthdays,and that there will be many more.
Keep happy thoughts in you mind and in your heart and have a blessed, happy day in whatever you do Remember, my new friends, that I love you all !!!

Have a great day everyone! I'll BBL
Lolly - that is the sweetest LITTLE BOY story.
I'm sure he is "very much cuter." How adorable. :)
Thanks for the prayers GA GIRL - very nice of you and always well received.

Hello Pat, where are you located?
Good Morning ALL!
Steve is trying to confuse me with the new thread - I just know it is Thur all day today!
Thanks Jim I dropped down below the hummingbird cam. On the same page is the video of the rescue of baby hummer.
chicks alone at FINNEY'S NEST...MOM just flew away
Mom came back at FINNEY'S NEST, looked like a crash landing...
I truly do thank everyone for the prayers. Please continue them. More test next week and answers next week.
We appreciate them very much.
didn't even notice Steve still has Wednesday on this thread:)
Good morning Dana, Mits, Jo. Welcome Pat. I've tried to read over all of the recent messages. I appreciated Jo's comment that I would be able to fly free like an eaglet when school's out. It is nice to have some free time. Played bridge last night and slept in this morning.
See I missed Hidey.
Good Morning Norma, Deb, Lolly. I remember hearing something about severe weather in WV. Hope it wasn't too bad for you.
. .. Know you're not all in WV, though.
Hello all:)
Cool- an extra day in the week, think of all I can get accomplished before the weekend....
Perhaps it would be better to add an extra day to the weekend though.
2" of rain here, garden paths are mighty muddy.
CORRECTION - My twin brothers' birthdays is on WV Day, not tomorrow. June 20.
** Good Morning **
** Smilin Birders **

Wanda, how is Capt. Soretush today?
Lun Lun and Xi Lan are rasslin agin... Looks like fun.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
He's doing really well, Sharon. I'm sooo glad there is no drain, if YOU know what I mean!
Morning, all.
Happy 90th Birthday to Hedgie's Mom!!
Not sure whether I want it to be Wednesday or Thursday...
DEVELOPING STORY: The captain of a Continental Airlines flight en route from Brussels, Belgium, to Newark, N.J., died during the trip, FOX News confirmed.
The pilot died Thursday aboard Continental Flight 61, and the co-pilot took over the aircraft's controls, FAA spokesman Les Dorr told FOX.
The plane was scheduled to land in Newark about 11:43 a.m. EDT.
not a good flight:(
WOW! Sudden rain shower happening
It was really dark then got real sunny
It is really humid today - Not sure the rain will do any good.
I see the OK eaglet is still sitting in the tree. Are the parents feeding it there?
Does anyone know?
I think there was a food delivery at Finneys. Second adult showed up for a moment. Now it looks like the little ones are being fed. They are so cute.
Yesterday the OK eaglet was on the other side of that tree with the adult where he is now. I am sure he will be fed - just don't know where. Hidey had come back into the nest for eating and hopefully this one will also.
Hi Jo, I am glad to know that the adults have been tending to the OK eaglet. I had not seen that. Didn't watch much yesterday.
It is true that Hidey stayed away from the nest for some time after that first flight. I guess the eaglet is probably a bit shocked and needs to build up some courage to fly back. Hidey seems to have been blown out in the night, and this guy has to fly over the water for a short distance.
I am enjoying watching the Finney nest, too.
Adult at BWE.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Scary tornado picture on CNN.
I can't remember how soon Hidey came back to the nest after the 1st flight.
Can someone give me the link to BWE?
Flight Confirmation
No not an eagle - my Germany Gang
has boarded in Reinstein Germany and
should be at BWI late this evening
WHOO HOO !!!
I don't remember exactly, either, Jo. It seemed like a long time, and we were worried because no one we were in touch with had seen Hidey leave. I think that was when I first started messaging on this blog.
I got to see Hidey return. That was exciting. I remarked to my son that Hidey was back and that we were all worried. He said, "But won't it eventually leave and not come back." --Of course, but we wanted to be sure Hidey was safe.
He also said, "Someone actually drove to the nest to see if the eaglet was okay?" Sure did--and lots of people were waiting to see what she learned!
One of the eaglets is at the BWE nest
Link BWE - just click on right side the BWOsprey page
Jo, just sent you 2 sites, that you might be able to follow the flight from Germany
Thanks - going to forward to her Mom and then try to find out airline & info.
Thanks, Jo. I got it.
A question . . .At the OK site, that looks like an adult on the lower part of the branch and the eaglet above. Does anyone see that?
Mits I was going to say the same thing to Jo. I use flyte.comm Watched when Jim and Jimmy went to Ireland. will watch when Jimmy and Jennifer go to China in a few weeks.
Little ones at Finney's visible.
BBL Have to get some work done and have to go to the funeral palor. My neighbors brother died of Lou Gehrigs disease. Retired policeman.
I watched the flight from Belgium arrive at Newark this a.m.
I saw a story about the landing in Newark awhile ago. They said that the passengers didn't even know though we did.
Forgot to eat lunch
BBL
OK eaglet seems to be in a tree in the water.
I think it was two adult eagles I had been seeing in the tree on land.
email from my boss at NZ....
Subject: Deer birthing season -- leave 'em where they lay
Hi everyone,
It is deer birthing season. We have lots of wild whitetail deer in the park, and lots of babies being "parked". Since the fawns are "hiders" rather than "followers", this "parking away from mom" is normal deer behavior -- the fawns are not "orphans".
1) Our visitors should know that we know about these animals, if they ask or are concerned. The deer are wild, we are trying to leave them that way, and people should not approach or touch fawns. We all need to remember that some of the deer mothers are so tame that they nurse their fawns right in front of crowds of visitors -- this does not make them so tame that anyone should approach them closer, because they may try to defend their young.
2) If you see a deer fawn "parked" in a road or path, feel free to call Animal Care or the Police so it does not get hit or injured. If it is just off the road or path in a highly public area, you might mention it to a local keeper so we continue to keep track of its location as we have done in previous years. If it is elsewhere in the Park, it is wild and we just leave it where it lays.
Remember, we are working in an urban natural park filled with beautiful local wildlife -- bugs, snakes and other reptiles, migratory birds and resident birds, and mammals of many types. We try to let the wildlife stay wild by leaving it alone whenever we can.
Thanks very much for your help in educating our visitors and seasonal staff about this.
Our own Megan knew what she was doing with the fawn the other day:)
Anyone watching the Duke Farms, N.J. Eagle Cam? they look close to fledging.
http://greenjersey.org/2009/04/08/watch-for-eaglets-on-duke-farms-eagle-cam/
Yes, Robert checked them this a.m.
I just finished lunch. By the time I eat, read the blog and my e-mail, it is almost time to go back!
Back to work for me. BBL
Got to meet Steve today, and he was kind enough to drive me over to the NCTC Eagle Cam nest.
Nobody home at the time, but it was still great to see it in person. :-)
Loading the trailer. Seems strange to be loading jeans, sweatshirts and coats, but more than a good change to need them. Never know....may wear shorts or could be in snow.
It is presently 93.....Colorado here I come! Oh, to be cool!
Lisa, so glad you got to visit the sycamore tree!! It does make it seem different when you can see it like that!
Lisa, great that you got to see the nest. Sorry no one was at home. Belle and Lib are not minding their manners! Is is not just fantatic to see the nest? I was there with Deb when she took that pic of the eagles on the tree. (the pic on the front of the blog) I was in awe!
Cool, Lisa:) Always neat to see the nest in person, even if it is empty. I'm always amazed by how huge it is.
It is really humid out there,and the bugs are biting me.... At least the ground is so wet I can plant and not have to water them in immediately.
Our little baby just got fed by (I think) Lib.
that is great Lisa:)
Lolly, I believe you said you are going to Colorado. In Colorado, you could be wearing shorts and sandals with snow around you. We were there July 4 many years ago, and went into the mountains. I have pictures of my children in shorts and sandals with snow piles nearby.
My brother lives in Fort Collins. I know he takes a jacket to go out on a warm summer day because the weather changes so quickly.
It is a beautiful state.
I just found the NCTC nest on Google Earth. I have been looking for it, but did not know what to enter. Finally figured it out, thanks to everyone's blogs.
Great news that Steve took Lisa to the nest tree! I was over on the BWE page and Lisa has put up the link to the NBG videos of Azalea returns to nest I think Jim mentioned it earlier today - this is a Gotta see
You can also see right now the BWO chick!
WOWSIE OK Eaglet has landed on one of the post in the water
Shirley mentioned it around 1:45 - I think he is back again
I wish the cam would pull back so we could see how close the OK eaglet is to the nest... Eaglet looks wet.
Good Afternoon Eagle Pals, and
Happy Birthday to Hedgie Lynn's Mother ! ☺ ♥
I agree with Lori Eaglicious's sentiment: We Love your Little Lynn, Mrs. Hedgie Mom
Good grief, how do you do that, Jo. They just pulled the cam back so you could see better.
Hallelujah Hawaii, Mema Jo:
Kid Fun on the Way ! ☺
WHOA MEGAN! I was looking at Duke Farms 3 eaglets and I wasn't there when they zoomed.
Did you see where he is compared to the nest?
I'm no great distance estimator, but he's not far from the nest at all. Not much of a stick he's perched on.
OK Eaglet just might get his first fishing lesson when the water rises and the fish jumps right up at him!
lol
Hi Margy! You sure got that right about KID FUN
I know Lynn/Hedgie is enjoying her mom celebrating her birthday in WV!
Happy Birthday Lynn's Mom
Whoa, that OK eaglet, wonder what's going through his mind right now! Bet he wishes he had some sibling company !
Happy Birthday to Lynn's Mommy. Lynn, could you tell her that we love her for having you? :)
Here's a tidbit for the early morning: It's going to be a four-planet event in the East before Dawn: Crescent Moon, Venus and orangey colored Mars will be grouped together closely, and further to the left and lower on the horizon, all COULD be visible, if you have some clear skies! Hope someone (including ME) gets to see this! ☺ (I will have to sneak out of the office to try)
Oh, what's the fourth planet? Jupiter, which will be further to the right and higher, South of all this!
Robert I have been watching the 3 eaglets at Duke Farms. This am I guess the 1 was behind the tree trunk - I thought it has fledged! Won't be long. Looks like the rain is keeping them quiet right now.
Oh My! I can't sit here much longer and watch for the OK eaglet to take off to the trees or the nest. Camera folks are doing a great job tracking his whereabouts!
Lolly many years ago we went to Colorado. Cold one day. Hot the next. Went to Estes Park for a picnic. Had to put the fried chicken and potato salad on the plate before it blew away. Love being in the mountains in July with snow right there.
I guess I am not awake yet.
I forgot to mention, MERCURY will be twinkly planet low to the left on the Horizon. Sorry about all that...
What time do you have to sneak out for a break to see this fabulous display in the sky?
See we learn something new everyday on this blog. Let fawns stay where they are mom will come get them. 4 planets to see early tomorrow. Thanks.
Same Here, Mema..probably going to miss little Okie's flight. :(
especially since computer is starting to go really slow right now
Probably sometime after about 4:30 in the morning. Jupiter will be out way before that, but cannot always tell about the others, Jo ( And then, there is the Cloud Factor ! )
Hi Ceil - glad Mits posted that about Wild life rules! Hope the fawn found his mom!
I wish the OK Adult would do a fly-by with a big fish and let the eaglet follow him to the nest for dinner
I need to break away - dinner time -
I'll keep spot checking the OK cam
BBILW
I'll always remember my first view of the Colorado Rockies! Snow on the mountains in the summer, awesome!
Good to see everyone, Hi Ceil...
Wish I could be at Mits's Condo in the morning! That would be a good place to watch from!
Time to find the Good Fairy..and some red clothes.
Best wishes for a good evening for all, Prayers for all the needs, and Congratulations for all the accomplishments.
And Deb Hope you had pleasant customers today! Remember, one lady caller to my office wanted to turn me in because I was asking too many questions !
xox ☺ ♥
Afternoon all. Checking out the blog this morning and I just now got back.
A big welcome to all the new bloggers.
Lots of bad weather in Pittsbugh last evening, but just rain here. Hope you WV folks fared all right.
I've been trying to keep the starlings away from my suet...they ate a whole portion in 2 hours earlier today while a Hairy Woodpecker dad and youngster watched in safety. I have it out for the woodpeckers........
Our local two eagle nests seem to have young, but I can't get close enough to tell how many. Those white heads of the parents make it easy to count. I did get a chance to hear our Hidey this am. She must have been begging for food. I haven't caught sight of her since she fledged.
Lolly, I lived in Colorado for several years back in the 60's and still have some kin there. It can get to 95 in the daytime then down to 45 at night, so you will need those sweat shirts. None of that Texas humidity!!!
Hope everyone has a safe evening.
Yikes, the OK eaglet is close to the water. When I saw it earlier, it was on a small tree a bit higher up.
OK eaglet just flew out of the picture.
Wrong guess Normabyrd,I don't work for the state.Work as a commercial
electrician,right now at Davis WV
building a youth correction center
to take the place of the old Davis
Center.We only work four tens
Thank you Shirley !
I just now looked and couldn't see the OK eaglet & hoped he didn't jump in !
Glad you are the eyes on the OK world, Shirley..I missed it !
Hi grannyblt! Good to see you. Was listening to the reports of those tornado warnings in our Northern WV Panhandle...know that would be close to you also !
Hope tonight, No More !
Time to make like a tree and leave.
See everyone on Friday ! xo
Jo, the OK eaglet just took off. I do not see it in the nest, but it did not seem to have any problem.
Hi, Everyone,
I'm finally checking in today! Slept in late this morning, and it felt SOOO good! I'm happy to report that I only missed one question on the test in Surgical Instruments that I got back last night! Scored 98 out of 100! Thank the Lord!!!!! (It HAD to be HIM-- it couldn't have been my rusty ole brain!) So THANK YOU for all your prayers, and please keep them coming! HUGE couple of nights next week-- I'm taking two tests in one night on Wednesday! Covering 11 chapters! Needless to say, I'm locking myself into a closet with both medical textbooks and a flashlight, and I'm only coming out to eat, use the loo, and maybe to sleep.
Lots of prayers being said for all who need them today-- for healing, safety, and renewal of strength.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LYNN'S MOM!!! Pray that it turns out to be a very, very special day!
Well, gotta run and hit the books-- no time to waste. As Magpie always says, God bless us, every one! Will BBL if at all possible.
:o]
I've come in and out of this site for a couple years. I enjoy the nestcam and read the comments occasionly. I live about 8 miles west of the nest, and my wife looked up and asked "what kind of bird is that?" I looked up and saw a big bird that,though looking that it was trying to master flight it still had the majesty of an eagle. I think it was the fledging. Rick.
What a wonderful thing to see, Rick--and what a way to express it--"with the majesty of an eagle." Thanks for telling us.
Welcome Rick and keep coming back. That is so cool that you saw Hidey! You and your wife need to come and meet with us the next time we all gather at the sycamore tree!
Rick, thanks for letting us know about the sighting! Had to have been Hidey if it didn't have a white or red head!
Good to know Hidey is making progress.
OK Cam has tree back in view
I really think it is an Adult on the limb on the left side of tree
I think it is an adult, too, Jo. I see a lot of white.
I'll be back
Alexis (4yr old) is needing someone to
play with - We usually water the flowers
BBILW
When did you see the big bird Rick???
All three eaglets at Norfolk. No adult at BWO but I cannot see the baby
Hi Mema Jo, according to the info on the Duke Farms cam site, two are going on 11wks and one 10wks.
Today one of them was hop flying back and forth across the nest and up on that right side trunk. Once he was flapping like crazy, just then a big leaf covered the lens, when it cleared he was gone, I thouht he fledged, but I found him behind that other trunk.
Evening, all!
I can't see him, but I sure can hear him :)
Worked late, mowed the lawn, fed the dogs....time for some eats and a refreshing beverage!
Rick - sounds like it could have been a juvie, especially if it was all brown with a touch of white underneath.
Lots of clanking around the mic.
Actually the more descriptive term would be mottled with white.
Bill asked me when I saw the bird. It was about 5:45. The coloration was a bit high to see, but I know I can tell an adult from that height. Rick.
Robert I must have been watching about the same time as you were on the Duke Farms. That leaf came on the cam & I thought Oh No - I'm going to miss something important. What I loved the best was the bouncing off of the limb on the right side of the nest... Back in 2006 we had one that would do the same thing as he practiced all the wing exercises!
Thanks Rick,good to have another guy on here,think we're outnumbered
You may be outnumbered but we sure appreciate your input!
Good evening!
We have been camping in Colorado for years! I think Jack's and my first trip was about 38 years ago. We go about every two years. We used to tent camp, now the trailer. Laurel and the boys will be in a tent. We raised our two kids hiking in the mountains. Joseph and Jacob already have hiking sticks and the hiking stick medallions. We always go to Rocky Mt. Natl Park just outside Estes Park. When our kids were little we went in Sept., but usually go now this time of year. Crowds really pick up in July and we try to avoid the peak season. We have seen all kinds of weather conditions, including 8" of snow on our tent.
Jo, so excited that you are going to see your family from Germany. You finally get to see those girls. Whoopee! Enjoy them!!
Hi Lolly - won't be long now! They do get in very late this evening and by the time they get luggage and clear customs I won't hug them until tomorrow. Early tomorrow I might add!
When they get here this evening the girls should be wide awake having had their night time (Germany) on the plane.
You have a BLAST in CO. Great to hear the boys already have their walking sticks!
Evening Eagleland
Mema Jo so glad it will soon be actual arms around those grandkids.
Bill and Rick keep coming back and bring your friends. Maybe then you guys won't be quite as outnumbered.
Jpo - glad to hear your Germany gang is finally enroute!
Lisa - Wow, finally got to meet Steve and see the nest. I wonder if you are at NCTC all week?
Lolly - have fun in CO - which grandson is going with you?
Haven't had a chance to check on OK eaglet yet...I did get to see the video/pics of the fledge!
Hope Hedgie is having a great time with her Mom and Sis.
Mits - had no clue there were so many deer wandering around the zoo!
WIld Watch blude bird in the nest. Maybe when she leave there will be 4 eggs.
Link to BlueBird nest
Make sure you see that blude
LOL Think I need a break.........
Rick which area do you live in?
Jo - I forgot to correct your name before I posted that last comment.
And Lolly, you answered me while I was catching up and asking questions! When do you leave?
I have the google pics of the nest on a really old blog post somewhere!
Lolly enjoy Colorado....our trip is cancelled for good. Ed can't go there..oh well maybe we can get daughter here for a visit.
Dana - good to see you on here today. How's Ed feeling today?
Ceil sorry about your neighbors brother. Prayers for neighbor and family.
Margy we got a beautiful "Cardinal" today ( :
I have been trying to get on here for about an hour, but had to feed dogs, then two phone calls, now my dinner is done and I can get on. It is hot an humid here, too, Megan, I should be mowing, but hope tomorrow is nicer.
Paula he is tired. Resting on couch with feet up--swelling. Most of day at Union Hall about what the Retiree's are losing plus changes in Health care and raising of cost to them.
All in all we made it through it.
Next meeting for that in August.
Just have to carry more tanks when we have to do something like that.
Deb - I had tonight's humid night or tomorrow's humid night to mow! LOL
Where is Ed retired from?
yes Paula, deer roam the zoo, last year we had to watch for them in the otter exhibit, the used to fall into the moats.....GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE:)P.S. the deer were ok.
If I remember correctly. One time someone mentioned a site where you can see your house and even see your street. In winter you could see how much snow you were getting on your street. Anyone know that site?
Paula Mack Trucks Hagerstown, Md.
Paula, this storm system is supposed to move out of here, so I am hoping it helps. Humid is usually what we have in the summer, but not this year. We haven't had any so we could get adjusted to it.
The economy is sure taking a toll on everything, I am glad you made it through this round, Dana.
Lolly that is right you have been to Denver many times. When we visited there we liked it so much we almost moved there.
Dana thanks.
Mits I know that one time I saw one on the cheetah cam run through the cheetahs cage area. The cheetahs were inside thank heavens.
Sorry but bet that was funny falling into the otter pond. Pleasant dreams everyone
Yep Deb the economy sure has. It has caught a lot of people and companies.
I just have always known somehow we will make it. Faith is what gets us through. We both still feel we are blessed. Not saying we don't get sad. Just some things you just can't waste energy on. The economy is one .
THERE WENT SPIDEY... tee hee
Night Ceil take care.
Our daughter says that Colorado is great for her complexion.
Good Night Sisters
Dana - does Ed have the use of the home unit instead of tanks at the house?
Those tanks are Heavy! Four hrs worth of ox weighs almost 5 lbs and when you need to take others - it's a load but it's good breathing!
Deb, I do believe the economy is affecting EVERYONE. Last year was one of the worst years I have ever had in my Shop. I am not stocking up on much of anything this year in anticipation of another bad season. This will be my 25th year. I wanted to have some kind of a celebration, but I will have to tone it down, I guess:(
Dana, I feel so badly for you and Ed. Is there any chance of him getting better?
We are leaving early Monday for Colorado. We have a family wedding in Dallas on Sunday. We will be ready to go Saturday. Laurel will come Sunday and we will load her stuff. We will drive as far as New Mexico on Monday and arrive at our campsite on Tuesday afternoon. We will be there until the following Monday. Arriving back home probably on Wed. We are on no schedule on returning. We will take our time driving down through the mountains.
Also, Jack's sister and her husband from Georgia will be there in their RV. They will be camping outside the park at a RV park. We are roughing it. No hookups!
Mema Jo he has a concentrator and a unit where he can fill his smaller tanks himself (he has 4 of them). Before on pulse breathing those lasted 3-4 hrs. Now they only last little over and hour because he is now on level 4 continous.
We get (like for the meeting today) the E cylinders (I call them the "topedos") one will last him alittle over 2 hours. We don't fill them. Just get them and take them back whenever we need them.
Then if the electric goes out we have "the bomb". It is not as tall as what is on ambulance but it bigger around. So equals same amount.
riclmbo=rocking in chair laughing my butt off Lolly hee hee "roughing it" in a camper. Just kidding like a back to nature. That is what Sleepy Creek is like that Margy talks about. No hookups..no bathrooms...no water facilities...mostly people take tents.
We are getting a lot of calls about how the economy is affecting people at work, asking what they can do to save money. It does get kind of depressing hearing it from so many people.
Today I had an older lady call me and then she asked if I could hold, so I said yes. Then she told me she had taken a water pill and would be right back. It brightened the day of everyone around me, a good laugh helps the day go by faster!
They are scanning the horizon at OK looking for the eaglet, I guess. Not going to find him this time of night.
Sounds like a great trip, Lolly.
OK, Dana, got it.
And yes, I would have to agree the economy still sucks!
Both osprey in Finland.
Oh we will have bathrooms with pottys and sinks,(short hike) but at the campsite no hook ups for water or electricity. We will just have what we have in the tanks and batteries. Mostly will miss my microwave and coffee pot. Will have to perk my coffee on the stove. LOL
Lolly I hope you all have a wonderful time. I will take the trip with you and Jack. By the pictures you share with us when you get back. ( :
And, we do not have a generator so we have to be conservative with the battery. What I really like most is MY BED.
Will do, Dana. Will think of you and Ed. Hopefully, your daughter can come to visit.
Well, Tom, Sissy, Mattie and Sissy's friend Crystal are bound for the beach. They left at 6 p.m. and have stopped somewhere on the other side of Greensboro to spend the night. They head to Kure in the morning. I don't like them! Andrew has gone camping with Kelsey. Thelma is here with Buddy. I brought Ellie Mae (Sissy's favorite daughter) out here. She was pitiful at the house so we will try it. Now there are 6 dogs here. Thank God I am a dog person! :)
Wanda sorry wasn't ignoring you. I can't give you that answer yet. Untrasound will be taken on June 22nd for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysn. Doctor will call to set up appointment for results of that. As for the PET scan that was taken Wednesday June 17th we will hear results on June 23rd.
It's cooled down nice here....67° now...
Dana - sounds like my set-up except I have 3 different size portable tanks:
4 - 6 - 9 hours. I am only on 2 liters and that makes a difference in the time.
Like they say It is what it is!
Prayers for you & Ed and hope you have been feeling well enough recently.
