normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MITS!---Are you staying at the beach?---I keep praying it will miss the US!!---worry about FL!

Mits said...

Norma, that storm is so far past FLA, that they will probably only get a tiny bit of rough surf on the NE coast of FLA...yep still at the beach... Bill will pass by us today and tomorrow....dangerous rip currents, rough seas, some coastal flooding...and it is 500 to 600 miles to the east of us.

normabyrd said...

OOOOOH! AAAAH!--DIEGO is getting a bath---& MOMMA didn't even have to sit up!---SO! IS LIFE!!

normabyrd said...

See how much I know---I was talking about BILL! ho!---DAVIN seems to think FL will be missed!

Red said...

Not many eagles in North Alabama Norma. A few about 60 miles east of me though along the Tennessee River. I have lots of hummers this year again. We've had plenty of rain too. Rained most of the day yesterday and more expected today.

normabyrd said...

WHOA! WHOA! MEGAN!----IT'S RAINING!---a good slow rain!---You must have started DANCING-----pray it will continue.....

normabyrd said...

RED!--I have mentioned your HUMMERS a few time on the BLOG--wondering if you had as many as you had last year!!---I do think of you when I mix my 'red stuff' ho!----

Mits said...

Hello, Candy and RED...:)

normabyrd said...

Mema Jo said...

Good Friday Morning All! I am up & about and ready to start my day! I love retirement but miss my early mornings!
Hello RED - so good to hear from you!

Going over to previous thread because I see Mits must have seen Candy.

Norma - just hope the humidity isn't so high today! Can't take it!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MEMA JO!---WONDERFUL---both CANDY & RED today!--WONDERFUL! isn't it!---Our temp is 72°---pray it doesn't pop-up again after the rain stops!!---Has school started in MD?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I started on my walk and the black clouds chased me back home. Maybe later. Going to work now.

Lolly said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA and all Eaglet Momsters and Dadsters! Yea, Red, great to hear from you!

Norma, don't you just love it when the hummers dive bomb each other. One time we saw one hit the other, it fell stunned to the ground and a blue jay was on it quick. Did not like that!

Loweeda or someone did a rain dance. We have thunderstorms in the area and one passed through and we received 1/2 inch of rain. Wahoo! PTL

We had the back door open to listen to the weather. When the rain stopped Joseph said "Look, you can hear the birds singing now." I was pleased that he noticed!

hedgie said...

hedgie said...
Good morning!
Norma, did you read my post from yesterday about your email??? You need to get Jo help you get onto Momsters' mail!!!! Candy and Red both in one day...WOW! Good to see you, kids! Thanks for helping Margy, Red....knew you were the man!
Candy, hope you got to see all of your b-day greetings!!! Know that you didn't open BlueMountain card yet, tho'!!! Come on girlfriend!

Lolly said...

Shirly, you gave me my first good laugh for the day! Thank you! Yes, you have it easy with the room decor at school. LOL Maybe I can scan some old pictures of my room. It took me two weeks to get ready before inservice. LOL It was a great room! Kids loved it and I did, too! It was colorful, and every inch decorated.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. I am after coffee and dog treats today. And many many bird pictures here at my house. Caught me a couple of good ones. I so enjoy them. I was going to go out to the barn raising this morning but have been assured the cupolas will not go on today. Earliest will be tomorrow afternoon. so I guess I will head that way then. I agree with one persons comment on my Glo's Glimpses that all we will need once its done is a barn dance. Just might happen ya never know. Dex has actually been quite sick over the last few days, but he started to perk up yesterday and seems to be feeling good once again today so we must make time for a stroll in his chariot at some point today as well. High here today will be 70 maybe with strong north wind. Its cool!!!

Enjoy your day.

Mema Jo said...

Norma MD schools start different dates per county! MD does not have it all together at times! Megan's daughter started this week and my grandsons in Frederick and Baltimore counties start this coming Monday.
I like the excitement of school starting - but wish it would go back to being in September!

Story for you about time passing by:
Grandson Robert took Alexis (Meatball) to her Pre K Orientation last evening to meet the teacher and also the assistant teacher. He was impressed with both of the ladies and so was Alexis. However the Assistant teacher told Robert she had grown up with a Lennox family - ! Small world!
My daughter Kristen had been friends with her forever and my son had gone to school with her sister. I know the family well. Small world - love the connections that happen.

Lolly said...

Saw Jo's name on facebook. Have requested her to be my "friend." Do you suppose she will be my friend? LOL

hedgie said...

Norma, Washington Co., MD schools (where Megans' daughter goes)started this week. Think Jos' county is next week, if I remember what I read in paper correctly.

Lolly, sounds like you are cooking up a storm!!! Glad you are having fun with the boys, but sure that you will be ready for a rest!!

Lolly said...

Oh, Hi Jo! Going to be my friend on facebook?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And where did you find Jo's name on Facebook? I don't know which one she is!

Lolly said...

Oh, yes, I will be ready to rest. But, guess what?!!! I have been eating poorly with the boys here and I have lost weight!!!!! Being up and active all the time works!

I started gaining weight after I retired, not while I was teaching 5 year olds.

Lolly said...

Oh, no!! It might not be the same Jo Lennox!!!!

Jo are you on facebook? It came up as a suggestion so I figured it was you.

Mema Jo said...

I'm not on yet
Just thinking about it

I have had about 7 invites.. Maybe I'll come in. I might need to come in cause I think in the evening I would find some of my dearest gal friends there. Right?

normabyrd said...

MORNIN! HEDGIE!---Oh yeah!---We had a wonderful RAIN!---We needed it---but it has stopped!---Was POURING here for a while!!--I need a NEW computer--& just keep putting it off!---I know I will be on much more when cold weather gets here!---Can you believe it's FOOTBALL time!---GO COWBOYS! ho!

ARE YOU LISTENING LOLLY???

Lolly said...

Sissy was just on facebook. Said she was working, but I think not! She was on facebook.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You might find some there. :)

There are videos of Andrew on the WVSU band's facebook! I am so grateful that I can see him like that! He is alive and well!

Mema Jo said...

Don't think there is more then One Jo Lennox.... But there just might be, Heaven forbid!


I wonder what IN DAVE has been up to?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You are right Lolly. She is not working, just playing!

Lolly said...

Oh, yes! I am listening Norma! However, we can not afford to go to any games. Wow! The prices at the new stadium are unbelievable!!!

But, GO COWBOYS!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And yes Jo, there are several Jo Lennox's on Facebook.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Cow-who?

Lolly said...

Jo, are you on facebook? Barbara Willard is listed as a friend. That you?

floralgirl said...

Howdy all:)
No such luck here, Norma, large patch of rain is passing by us, no rain here:(
Humidity is awful, 84% here, been cutting flowers, heat and humidity make bugs very aggressive- I've got bug bites on my bug bites...

floralgirl said...

Cow patty??

Ms Bookworm said...

Good morning, everyone!

Just popping in for a minute or two to let you know that I won't be here today until some time this evening. Hubby has the day off, and we're spending the day with his sister (as soon as she's finished working for a bit this morning--some kind of conference call). We do this every so often.
Just get together and decide what we're going to do when we meet.
Will maybe go to brunch and a movie, or drive somewhere and just walk around and sightsee. We get all caught up on the latest goings on, and just generally have fun.
I'll be jonesin' to talk to all of you, though, so will be back as soon as I can tonight.
Good thing we won't be home today!
The exterminator never showed up, and we're spraying 'Oust' air freshener and holding our noses. Since we don't want to cancel our "fun day" today, they'll have to reschedule the attic decontamination for Saturday morning. I have a feeling their bug guy is in trouble. The dispatcher tried for 20 minutes to reach him on his phone, but he was yacking with someone, so they got a busy signal. Ruh-roh!
I'll be thinking of you all today; prayers being said for all situations. Take care, and I'll catch you all later! :o]

Lolly said...

The one, the only.......


DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sorry Lolly, but Megan is right, COW PATTIES!!!!!!

hedgie said...

Norma, luv, don't think you need a new puter to get your email....if you can blog, you can mail---you've just gotta get some setting adjusted, I think! Want me to find you a computer geek??
Lolly, FB jsut randomly picks ups names from your emails and throws them in there.....had to ask my daughters about that because I kept getting those messages, and wondered HOW they knew someone was a friend!

hedgie said...

Oh-oh-oh...starting to rain here!!! Yippee!

hedgie said...

Oh-oh-oh...starting to rain here!!! Yippee!

Lolly said...

Need to get busy! Need to get the boys dressed and their laundry done, so I can pack them up. Then need to cook some. Going to make another meal for Laurel's freezer. Doing what I wished someone had done for me....prepare meals for the first week of school. Then I need to start the pizza for this evening. Considered going swimming this morning, but the weather has put a stop to that.

Lolly said...

Now, girls, be nice!!! Have you heard me say anything ugly about your teams? No! Now, be nice!!
LOL I love each and everyone of you, ANYWAY!

Mema Jo said...

You all are fast - I was cleaning up Emails - lots of comments added.

normabyrd said...

WHOA! LOLLY!---'WHEN I COME DOWN' I will buy the tickets!!---ho!--Would love to see the new stadium!
and want them TO WIN!--WIN!--WIN!!
ho!---

Lolly said...

Well, guess I will go unrequest Jo being my friend. Even sent her a message. Oh, dear! She is probably thinking, who is this nut anyway? LOL

floralgirl said...

Cow patties are very useful and can make a great manure tea for your garden...

Lolly said...

Well, come on down, Norma!!! I will furnish you with a place to stay, food to eat, and tranportation. You can buy my ticket. LOL

Lolly said...

Oh, I understand, sorry about the mistake. You were talking about gardening.

hedgie said...

Sure am hoping that the rain makes it to Megan's place!!

Lolly said...

Well, I have just unrequested Jo from being my friend. How sad!

Gotta go!

Have a great day! Been fun chatting this morning, even though some of you, and I won't mention names, were not nice.

Back at you later!

Mema Jo said...

You best not cancel me as a Friend.
I just may show up!

Mema Jo said...

Well I guess I lost my chance!

normabyrd said...

LOLLY--I mean to ask you how much weight you had lost this summer!!--With all of your energy---I bet you are 'skin & bones!---You certainly are my favorite GRANNY!

floralgirl said...

I'm watching the radar, and that rain is NOT gonna hit here.

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone. Thank you, Steve and have a nice weekend.

Lolly, love the story. I think when I get to my classes (2 with 100 students each) I'll just walk in and look at them and say "I have nothing to talk about."

Shirley, hope Will is successful with the job search. Talbott's is very nice but too pricey for a blouse to wear under sweaters for school. Glad Suzie has a job and yes, DSW will likely be around awhile. So glad I don't have to decorate my classrooms -- no imagination for such things.

Hi Candy. Sounds like you also are a teacher?

Hi Red, thanks for helping Margie with her sound. Sharon, enjoy Bedford and the band performance. GO SKINS!

Megan, please send rain to VA.

Okay, now back to work after I check the critter cams.

Judie

normabyrd said...

When grand-kids were here this summer---that is all they did--facebook!----& send messages!---LIFE IS GOOD!----if one is a teenager!!

hedgie said...

Lolly, Barb Willard is a momster, right, Jo? So your friend request WAS the right Jo!!!!
BTW---you noticed that I didn't say a WORD about "them 'boys", right??!

Wow, rained really hard....blocked out satellite (internet) for a few. Eased up now, but couldn't see out the driveway. Megan, I'm blowing as hard as my poor lungs will allow in your direction!

Mits said...

Mits said...

o's chased hoodie away at Finland nest:)

hedgie said...

Margy, you have to plan the Sideling Hill trip with James really quickly---it IS closing Aug. 30th.....all efforts to sustain it have failed.

floralgirl said...

Save your breath, that rain ain't gonna fall here. Off to work. bbl if I don't make the news....lol

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE---I haven't been able to receive or send emails for 2 or 3 mos!---called bb & they worked w/me -- once had it working--next 2 or 3 times---they couldn't figure it out--busy--busy!--I quit trying!---

hedgie said...

Hi, Judie. Have a good day!!!
Guess Andy has already left....hope she has fun, too...And Glo, as well. Everyone rushing off for fun and frolic!
My youngest, Christie and her hubby and another couple are on their way to Hershey Park for the day. Hope she isn't too disappointed after having been to Disneyland last month! Of course, she's been to Hershey before. Hope she took her umbrella, too.

hedgie said...

Missed seeing Diego, Jim. Bet (s)he's getting more markings every day!

Judie said...

LIVE CAM IS BACK AT NCTC!!! YIPPEE

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eaglelanders Margy (our early bird), Deb, Shirley, Candy(get your birthday wishes),
Ceil, Norma, Hay Red (nice seeing you in), Mits, Jo,Sharon, Lolly, Lynn, Glo, Megan, Andrea, Judie,
Jim and Watchers.

Now I need to catch up on comments.

Raining here

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I'll be daggone, there it is! YEAH!

Mema Jo said...

Well I bet I'll check that out real fast!
Thanks Judie

LIVE IS GOOD

Would someone please get Hidey into our picture! lol

Mema Jo said...

Thank you NCTC/FWS for our Live Cam being back up/running. I wonder if this means that maintenance has been
accomplished? Maybe not as the 'smudge' still exists.

Judie said...

May not have Hidey, Belle, or Liberty BUT we know a tree grows in WVA.

Mits said...

thanks Outdoor TV for the live cam:)

movin said...

yES, Hedgie. The Panda baby is covered in whitish fur now, but you can clearly see the dark markings (which are the color of the skin too) already.


C(°Ù¿°)D


Jim

movin said...

I don't know....

Does anyone know if Hidey is still in the area??

It is good to have the live feed back.


C(°Ù¿°)D


Jim

deb said...

Lunch time, it is nice to see the live cam up and running! Thanks to all who made it happen!

paula eagleholic said...

LIVE FEED! YAHOO!!!

CERTAINLY WASN'T EXPECTING THAT!

THANK YOU

hedgie said...

Hi, Dana. Still raining here, too.
Wow, great to have live cam back! Thanks to all involved. Smudge, smudge go away before January, please!
Jim, we have no idea if Hidey is still hanging out...hopefully those who can leave cam up will find out soon!!

paula eagleholic said...

Norma - just go get a free email account at Yahoo. You can access it anytime, anywhere...

magpie said...

Yes, nice little gift in our Inboxes this morning with Live Cam. Live Silent Cam for me, but RED sent me some tips, will be trying that in a little bit. And the rain is a nice little gift for the crops, hope it gets to Megan's Farm

Sounds like the world is busy in Eagle Land...
Hope you all have a good day.
Back in a little bit...
xo

movin said...

There is also a new entry in the SD Panda blog...

Jim

magpie said...

Wonderful to hear from Candy and Red ☺

..and the rest of you too ♥


Thanks Lynn for the info ref the Uncle Bob message....

magpie said...

and thanks to Eagle-eye Judie for catching the Up-Cam News...
and all the people that got it up and going again....such a pretty nest

deb said...

The message on Facebook is about a cousin that I don't know very well. I haven't seen her since 1972 or so. I was just passing on info to the rest of the family.

Mema Jo said...

I noticed that on Live Cam when it stops that I can click on PLAY and I don't get the green barber pole and need to refresh.

wvgal_dana said...

I see in comments that some others, as myself thought there was hail at PA deer cam yesterday.

Deb don't know what prayer need is but the LORD does. Sending prayers.

OH WONDERFUL OH WONDERFUL FIXER OF LIVE CAM. Thank you !!

wvgal_dana said...

I don't remember if I told on here. That while at the Steeler's practice at Latrobe. Ben signed my new steeler sun visor. I had to go buy another one. So that signed one is in our glass case. ( : I was so excited!!! STill am lol

Mema Jo said...

I don't think I would wear the signed visor either, Dana.

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---I have felt your pain--I love this time of year--but get melancholy!!!----I HAVE THE ANSWER FOR YOU!!---

PUT A SIGN & A BOX ON YOUR COUNTER WHEN SELLING YOUR FLOWERS-----write this on your SIGN!!---

"PLEASE HELP SEND MEGAN TO THE BEACH!!"---THANK YOU---

ps---attach a photo!!

deb said...

Sorry, I should have given a little more detail. This cousin has had cancer for years and unfortunately she probably won't be with us much longer. I never did know her well, she lived in Arizona most of her life. It is still very sad.

Mema Jo said...

Lunch time - but I am waiting for daughter and great grand daughter, Sophia to join me! Sophia is a 3 year old beauty!

normabyrd said...

DANA!---They always seed the PA SITE!---I just assumed that was what was on the ground!!

deb said...

Time for me to head back to work. bbl.

normabyrd said...

The sky is getting lighter now--but the temp is still 73°!---

hedgie said...

Dana, guess you heard that Ben injured his ankle/foot yesterday, right?

hedgie said...

Temp has dropped to 70 with the rain...never went below 78 during the night!

hedgie said...

Megan, did you get any rain YET??????

normabyrd said...

HEY JO!---At least 6 or 7 BURROWING OWLS are out now!!---'little strutter'---ho!

Mits said...

hoodies chased O's out of the Finland nest, but O's took their fish with them

wvgal_dana said...

Errand with hubby bbl

normabyrd said...

OH DANA!--I wouldn't use the autographed visor!---I think that is so cool!!!

Lolly said...

Yes, Lynn, I know you are innocent. You are my friend. You did not say a bad word about my team. LOL I will remember who was not nice!

Judie, Candy is a kindergarten aide. She is on my end of the education world. Sure wish I had had an aide. Candy and I would have had a ball together. Only help I ever had were high school students who took a special class and volunteers. (and not many of them!)

Some high school students were great, loved them and some were a pain in the tush! Best helpers I had were former students, that when they took this class asked to come back to help me. One boy, Scotty Quionez, said.."I started my education with you and now I want to end my senior year with you." He was the greatest!! Good looking football player and all my little kindergarten girls loved him.

normabyrd said...

DANA---I hope ED is feeling better each day!---Will keep him in my thoughts & prayers!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lolly, we love you but not your Cowchips! :)

Lolly said...

I should say, I will remember who was not nice, but I do forgive them.☺

Lolly said...

I may take back that forgive bit!

Lolly said...

Joseph just found a bird nest that the wind and rain brought down. It was made up of grass and candy wrapper. He was impressed with that. It has now found a home on the bench on my front porch.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Love you Lolly!

floralgirl said...

Did someone say Cowchip??? Lol... sorry, Lolly. It's against the law in my house to like that team from Dallas....But I do love you!!!
Just had a few drops of rain. Radar shows it passsing on either side of us..not funny, mother nature...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

There is my Cowchip-loathing partner in crime! Hi Megan.

floralgirl said...

Howdy Sharon:)

Mema Jo said...

We got your rain, Megan - It wasn't very much!

Lunch buddies are here

BBL

Lolly said...

You know, there are a few teams that we detest! But, I am not going to talk ugly about them to my friends that I love. ☺

Norma, I forgot to answer your question. I have not lost weight this summer, but I have not dieted and I have not gained an ounce. My weight has gone up and down within a few pounds. Right now I am at the lowest I have been, thanks to the boys!

I may go back on the diet and work on 10 more pounds, but I am really happy at the weight I am right now.

Laurel is 5' 11" and she is down from size 12 to a size 10. Fantastic! And I am only 20 pounds heavier, but not down to her size! LOL

Lolly said...

Megan and Sharon....love you and love giving you a hard time!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, everyone!

Still haven't left--got a call from SIL, and she's still doing conference calls for reasons I can't explain here (but this is quite a story!). MTBR later. We now for sure plan to go to lunch and a movie, and just have a gabfest and get caught up. SIL works practically 24/7, BIL works 3 jobs now--see what I mean? But thank GOD they have those jobs!! In this crazy world, can't complain!
OMG!!! Our live cam is working?!!!
THANK YOU, NCTC/FWS and Steve for getting it going again! So good to see that nest again, Jimson weed and all! I wonder, though--will there still be maintenance done on the live cam? If I remember correctly, the cam problem was not at the nest, but an internal transmission problem or something.

Haven't really caught up on the blog, but am just glad to be able to be here! Hubby has gone to Wal Mart to do our usual weekly shopfest. (What fun! Yeah, right.)

Got an e-mail in my regular e-mail from someone at Hubby's work about using vodka to clean shower tile. Says it kills mildew. May try it tomorrow, and if it doesn't work, there may be other ways to use up the vodka. Any ideas? Oh--I'll let you know if it works on tile & grout.

Bob Quinn said...

Good afternoon! I found this in my email this morning:

"Hello, and Congratulations from the Plein Air-Easton! Photography Contest!

The following photograph has been selected to receive an Award of Merit: "Dover at Night"

Although there is not a cash prize associated with this award, it recognizes the high quality of your work and allows the photograph to be considered for the travelling exhibit of the Plein Air-Easton! Photography Contest, which will appear at various galleries around Easton until July 2010. It will also be eligible for inclusion in the 5th Anniversary Plein Air-Easton! pictorial book, to be published later this year."

Here's the photo:

Bob

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Great pic Bob!

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks Sharon! It was my least favorite of the three I submitted. Go figure.

Judie said...

Hi Bob,

Congratulations! May not have been your favorite but it is a very, very nice picture.

Judie

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks Judie!

Ms Bookworm said...

BTW, Megan, I have several hybiscus plants that have finished blooming now. I will cut off the spent flowers tomorrow. Was just wondering what it is you do to get the flowers to turn blue. All of them were pink this year because I couldn't remember what to add to the soil to change the color. If anyone would know, seems like you would, so thought I'd ask. I promise you, I'm praying you'll get some rain!!!
Oh--wanted to suggest, too, that whatever you decide to do with your blue van, you ought to take a picture of it to keep for remembrance. I didn't take a special picture of my Maverick, and now I could kick myself!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Bob,

Congratulations! That's a really good picture! Love the perspective in it.

Thanks, Megan, for mentioning cow patty tea. I do need to fertilize my patio plants to give them a new lease on life! Still hoping & praying you get rain!

magpie said...

Very good, Bob... we are proud of you !

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks! I added the two losers to the gallery as well.

hedgie said...

Congrats, Bob! That is just great. It's a good pic, for sure, but not my fav of the three, either! Guess it's all in the eye of the beholder=judge!!!! Good luck with the book entries!

Lolly, you know how I feel but since I love you and Norma so much, I am trying REALLY hard to keep my big mouth shut!!!! But, like Megan, it is a bad word here, too!!

floralgirl said...

Do you mean hydrangea? Making the blooms blue has to do with the ph level of your soil and how much aluminum is in the soil. Just google how to turn hydrangea blooms blue and you'll find many sites that explain how to do it.
Hey Bob, congratulations!!

hedgie said...

Sun is out, raindrops are drying on sunroom windows, and temp is going back up.

Mits said...

good job, Bob:)

magpie said...

Well, It is going to be a Silent Summer here at the computer for awhile longer, fixes haven't worked yet :( thanks to Red for the suggestions and others as well...where there is a will, there is a way !

Meanwhile, if you want to see how Cows keep it cool in West Virginia, you can visit my Fun and Dandy link. I also put up some Wildflowers - though there are so many yellow flowers out these days I might be identifying them wrong! And finally, Magpie's Roost has some views of my Megan Flowers ☺ - Afraid the scorching sun and heat has taken a bit of a toll, but I have enjoyed them Soooooooo much.

My back arrows to where you came from do not take you back, so it is cumbersome journey, but I hope you enjoy the latest adventures from my camera.

I need to catch a little Cat Nap before heading in for a 12-hour shift tonight.

Prayers for our new needs and all the ones we have had for awhile. ☺

magpie said...

I think you will especially like the Cardinal flowers and the Spicebush on the Joe-Pye Weed ☺

magpie said...

...and the Megan Flowers !

Lolly said...

Congratulations Bob!! We can say we knew you when!!!

All three are just fantastic!

Pizza meatballs are in the freezer and pizzas are in the oven. Will cook them part way and then finish cooking them at Laurels. She will be thrilled with two meals and possibly three for next week.

Going to go outside for one more water fight with the boys! Man the hoses boys!!

movin said...


I really like the picture they selected, Bob, and I like the black-and-white one nearly as well.

Congratulations.

Lolly said...

Oh, and just took the cutest picture of Jacob. His Bunny Bear is in the dryer. We washed him and some of his stuffing came out. So, we did surgery. Jacob loved making him fat. hee hee Then into the dryer he went for a ride. Jacob has been sitting by the dryer and asking when it is going to be through. LOL

Judie said...

Hi, getting very dark and very windy and thunder all around. Shutting down. Will catch up later.

Judie

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks Jim. Now I can enter the two losers in another contest. ☺

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, gang,

Duh! You're right, Megan, it's hydrangea! Was thinking I need to repot my hibiscus bushes, and just had a senior moment, I guess. I'll see what I can find out online. Thanks! OOPS! Gotta run, Hubby's home! BBL! :o]

paula eagleholic said...

Yo, Bob, all 3 pics came up for me....which one was it?

paula eagleholic said...

Nevermind! I see now it was the first picture. Congrats!

paula eagleholic said...

We had some rain here!

Vinegar cleans grout...just don't leave it on for very long, it will eat through it. Use full strength.

paula eagleholic said...

And Tilex with bleach works good on the shower tile grout as well.

paula eagleholic said...

Margy, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your sound card. Not physically, but throught the add/remove hardware section of your control panel.

paula eagleholic said...

Back to work, TTFN.

hedgie said...

Back up to 80 again....a bit steamy when the sun is out, but intermittant clouds....hope there is more rain to come.

Costume Lady said...

I think I forgot to check in today. Getting busy getting the shop ready for October.
Leaving now for the evening at GeeGee's. She wants Pizza toniight and it has to have everything and be as big as her kitchen table! Don't know where to find one that size?? BBL

BTW, Jo, Alexis is gong to be asking for spaghetti and meatballs on Tuesdays at Pre-K;)

floralgirl said...

That's right, Halloween is coming sooner than we think...been booking field trips to the pumpkin patch already...
Vodka- to clean grout- say it ain't so...Do you drink the vodka and scrub the grout?? not sure how that works.

magpie said...

You drink the vodka and forget all about the grout !

magpie said...

Sounds like no appetite problems for GeeGee Wanda ! Wonderful...

Lynn the cows were in the pond on Consiler Road, which runs between Calvary Hill Rd and Back Creek Valley Rd.....love that farm ! I want it !!!

magpie said...

I have to tell you, that I bought Marigold plants from Megan which indicated they would go three feet tall ! And they did! I just forgot to remember, that I have flower pots to put these in and all my plants, because they were so very healthy and germinated with the Master Gardener's touch...(floralgirl) - became Pot Bound....so next time, I guess I will have to plan just a little differently. When I go out to water, it is me, my watering can, and a dozen gallon containers of water..(well, I do four at a time...)
It's been a blessing.
Thanks Megan, over and over again !

magpie said...

That Consiler Road , Lynn..is still untouched by any developments, many large farm fields, so wonderful....

Calvary Hill Road is nice too....
wonder how long it will last...

magpie said...

Paula :
I did gaze upon the instructions for the hardware portion of the computer....I am afraid to touch it until after this Birthday Project is complete for my brother...can't afford to lose my family connections until after that...so September 7 - Labor Day - might be my day for Labor on that !
Thanks for the suggestion...

magpie said...

Holy Tomato!
Here it is Friday and I failed to mention about wearing RED today....
it should have popped into my mind when I saw dear Red pop on this morning..

There's still time....

It's for our soldiers, Veterans and Active.... ♥

PA Nana said...

Hi everyone and blessings all around. I'm viewing the little panda and checked on the adults and have a question - may be a stupid one, but a question nonetheless. Am I seeing a tail on the baby? Do adults have tails and I'm just not seeing them?

I'm way behind on the blog due to storms. I shut down and up again. That can't be good for the 'puter.

Later ...
Go Steelers!

magpie said...

Lolly
Love your student Scotty story, and the bunny bear...your grandson's bear and my grandson's
Tiger Quail needed care this week, too much loving I guess, if there is such a thing....

Mits said...

update from BWE.....

Eagle Cam Note
The Eagle Cam is offline until late November, when we will return for a new season with our eagle parents.

Thank you for your support during our successful 2009 season!

Mits said...

panda cubs when they are born have tails, they grow into them as they get older...

magpie said...

Can't wait to hear what kind of posters Shirley is getting for her classroom.

I have eaten up the Blog...guess I better leave some room for others...

Best wishes for a Happy Friday evening for all....that there will be special things that will bring smiles and comfort, and rest.

TTFN work looms....xo ☺ ♥

hedgie said...

Wanda, I bet Lolly could handle that pizza order for GeeGee!!!!! Today is her pizza day!
Margy, I've driven back Consiler....never realized it went thru' to Calvary Rd. I will have to check it out, for sure.

hedgie said...

Diann, NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION!!!!!

PA Nana said...

Thanks Mits, I thought I was seeing things and I've never seen a Panda at a zoo.

Congrats Bob! I'm camera illiterate but I appreciate good photos. Good luck with your other entries.

Dana, I'm jealous. Did you happen to see Troy? I love the way he plays football.

Lolly, our SIL is a Cowboy fan and we are constanting giving him a hard time. heehee He's married to an Eagles' fan and step-father to a Raiders fan. We're very diversified.

If anyone needs a friend on facebook, I'm there too. Happy to be friendly.

Now, I must go .... soon have to think of something for hubby to eat after work.

Love that little Panda. Just want to cuddly him ..... later.

Oh, almost forgot. Thanks to whomever is responsible for the live cam! Hooray!!!!

PA Nana said...

... I mean cuddle!
Haste makes one have to repeat. Darn!

hedgie said...

Diann, tried to send you an email but I couldn't access it---something about default email not installed. Click on my profile and email me back w/ your facebook name, please.

hedgie said...

Okay, Diann, found you on FB and sent a friend request! See that Sharon and Wanda are already hooked up with you! Cool ladies all.

deb said...

I am home and caught up here. Lawn boy was over, it is nice to come home and see the lawn looking good and know I didn't slave to do it!

deb said...

Bob, I liked all of your pictures, great job once again.

Margie, your flowers are wonderful and I enjoyed your Cows Cooling Off. Very nice motorcycle!

Mema Jo said...

Hi there - Hot dogs with Mustard for dinner! Raining/storming right now.
Now sure there is enough lightening to reduce the humidity! It's been a very lazy Friday!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hey, eagle and panda buds! I am at the lake working at the marina. I was just sitting thinking about the beauty of it all and how blessed I am and how much I love my job, and an osprey flew right in front of where I am sitting!! Now, how cool is that!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Now this is what I call a great work environment!

ceil said...

Evening everyone. Margy I know you are at work but I lol when I read your comment about drink the vodka and forget the grout.
I forgot to where red today and I was in the card store buying a card for my neighbors step grandson who will be going overseas soon. He just graduated from the Marines. The lady at the card store was so nice. She went in the back and got out the Veterans Day cards. Of course I picked the one with the eagle on it. I'm rambling. BBL

Mema Jo said...

Sissy - doesn't sound as though it could get much better!

ceil said...

Sounds like it is raining at the nest. It is about to storm here.

stronghunter said...

Hi Jo,
Had my mustard today on a bratwurst. They fed us again today at school, then gave us all of the final instructions for the beginning of the new school year. It is terribly hot and humid here. I came home and noticed that all of the plants in my hanging pots in the front yard were wilted, so I went out to water everything there. I took it for awhile, and then came in. It’s bad when it is too hot to stand there holding a hose.

stronghunter said...

I had a terrible time logging on this time. Kept getting a message that my password was wrong. I finally put on my glasses and tried again. I can't believe I was wrong all of those times. Strange.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley You may have had your caps lock on.... That will do it.

stronghunter said...

Lolly--Just so you know, I have $91in new posters on order! They should arrive this weekend, and I will go in early to put them up.

It is not so easy to get posters for secondary classrooms. I end up ordering online. Got one really cool one for the floor.

No, I admit that I do not spend two weeks ahead of the teacher days decorating. You beat me on that one. I would love to see pictues of your room. I am sure it was grand.

I have great respect for elementary teachers. Did a little subbing for fifth grade, and their lesson plans were so different from what I was used to, I had to ask the principal to explain.

I am just pleased that the administrator at the high school approved my syllabi. She did not approve everybody's. Kind of frustrating--she did not tell people what she was looking for ahead of time, just put sticky notes on their stuff and returned it.

Now I have to get approval from the college. Not making copies of those things until I know. I have to use enough paper as it is.



Tornado warnings in some parts of Maryland. I hope everyone is okay.

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, looks so light at the nest...dark here, but not much rain yet...on the edge of the storm. Tornado warning out for central Howard county now. That would be east of Frederick by 30 minutes or so.

stronghunter said...

Maybe I did have cap lock on, Jo. I don't know. Good thought.

Mits said...

from Weather .com...


...THE TORNADO WARNING FOR MONTGOMERY...HOWARD...FREDERICK AND CARROLL COUNTIES EXPIRES AT 745 PM EDT...

paula eagleholic said...

Mits, they just updated it...now Baltimore, Carroll and Howard until 8:30

paula eagleholic said...

Nothing to eat here in the house. Gonna grab something on the road. Leaving soon for Mom's.

Mema Jo said...

Keeping an ear on the TV weather updates.

Mits said...

I'm just copying and pasting what the weather .com is sending me

floralgirl said...

Got about a quarter inch of rain, and we have a huge rainbow here now, it was a double one. Can you see a rainbow, Jo?

ceil said...

Before I have to shut down I just wanted to say they don't learn. At noon today the high school around the corner was having football practice. I thought that only mad dogs and English men where out in the midday sun. Which catagory are these guys?

wvgal_dana said...

Andrea I read your comment about "vodka cleaning tile & grout", omgoodness I was seeing your tongue stuck to the tile since
it wouldn't clean it you decided to make use of the vodka.

Bob such a great photo. Although your least favorite bet your happy you did submit that one with the other 2. ( :

paula eagleholic said...

Trying to hold the dogs off for a few more minutes...they know we are leaving, but it's raining lightly now...can see the sunlight in the west.
