I thought it was time for this new fresh thread to come! Thank you Steve!

I'll call the others!

Mema Jo said...

Happy Birthday Mary Margaret - our Eagle Buddy

floralgirl said...

No problem, Jo:) Sometimes I just forget to open the still cam.
I just realized we are gonna have meatballs for dinner here tonite, too!
Gotta run to the bank, actually I think I'll drive...

Mits said...

thanks, Jo.....:)for the call over

hedgie said...

Is Ceil planning anything special for MM today, Mits?

hedgie said...

Hey, meatball lady! Glad you are planning on another go for tonight!! Did you all notice the talk about the emergency escape hatch? IF they are under 40,000 ft.....wonder how fast they can unhook and get out of those seats to make it to the hatch??

Mits said...

they will go out to dinner, then come back and have cake at Ceil's house.....MM has a ton of friends, that she takes care of, and they love to reward her on her BD, so she will be a busy lady today....MM is a true believer it is better to give than receive...

Mits said...

well hope they never have to use it, Lynn...we have come a long way from the 1st launch in "81", from sitting in front of your TV to watching on the internet.

Mits said...

lol...ground hog just ran really fast by the cam at PIX

hedgie said...

HO, as Norma says....I STILL watch it on TV...but NASA channel is So much better than the old days of watching just a few minutes of live!
Glad that MM's friends will spoil her for a change, and that Ceil has plans for her, too! Your folks can be very proud of all of you fine ladies!

Mits said...

that is very kind of you to say, Lynn:)

Mema Jo said...

Mary Margaret really lives what she believes! She is a giver!

Daughter is here cleaning up my house
Love her dearly for doing that!
I'll be back later - I follow her around and yak with her !

BBL

hedgie said...

Uh-huh, Jo...slowing down the help!
When I was going through chemo I had a housekeeper who came in every two weeks---it was a he....and he talked the whole time he was here---another problem with a small house with open floor plan! I know I paid for gab time more than work time! ARGH!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning ALL in Eagleland

I need to catch todays comments up.

If I remember from yesterday, Deb is taking a eagle for her friend to get help. Safe trip Deb. Prayers for your friends hand.

hedgie said...

Hi, Dana.and bye. Gotta finish getting ready to leave soon. BBL. Enjoy your afternoon.

ceil said...

Talk about MM friends. I just got back from buying a cake and her friend called and has baked one. Will freeze bought cake. Glad I didn't bake one. Saw a friend of mine she said I would have baked a cake. Should have taken her up on her offer. Can never have too many cakes.

ceil said...

Was thinking of staying up with you guys tonight. We will see.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Had a yummy breakfast on the patio after reading the paper and then went straight to watering plants.

Been thinking about the man you had cleaning house for you, Lynn. How did he do? It just seems to me that men just do not see all that needs to be done. Jack vacuums and does the dishes in the evenings, but he does not wipe down the faucet and around the sink when through. Now, I would NEVER complain. He helps sooo much!!

Well, last night I went to bed with the TV on, Jack stayed up. I fell asleep listening and figuring the launch would be cancelled. Maybe if I take a nap this evening, I will be able to stay up later. The bottle of wine with our dinner did not help.

Joseph and Laurel are in school today. Found out last night that they will probably be here Friday evening.

Whoops! My keeper says it is time to exercise. Whew!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY MARGARET IT'S YOUR DAY...ENJOY BEING SPOILED

wvgal_dana said...

I wrote a letter to the guy in Finland that Chrissy had spoken to about help for Koo. What I wanted to know was about the article he mentioned about a osprey with one leg living in wild for until it was 15 yrs old. I got a little information back from him. He stated the osprey caught smaller fish with the one leg. Did just fine all those years. So maybe Koo does have a chance.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, eagle gang,
Oops! Missed the split, so am bringing this over:

I'm back! Hi, Jo, you know, I wasn't sure about messing up the car with ads, but they're the kind that stick on by static, like those window decals, and shouldn't harm the paint. Here's the fun part--they pay you $600 twice a month for driving around with the ads on your car! (Or, for driving THEIR vehicle with the ads on it!)
I'm checking into it to see if there's a catch to it, but if there isn't one, I say, sign me up!

By the way, pardon my manners! Thanks, Steve, for the new thread, and Hi, Margy, Helen, Dana, Jim, Ceil and Lolly!

Mits said...

I'd like to know the location of that opsrey he talks about....

Ms Bookworm said...

Margy,
Thanks--I changed to that avatar because that's the kind of weather I'm hoping for! The picture is from our vacation last year in Scotland. Hope we can save enough to go back next year!
Shirley, eat a handful of that dark chocolate for me, will ya? Please! I can't have much of it any more.
Hey, Jim, how's the weather doing down your way? It was really hot here, but the humidity was just killer! Got up to 92, with 90% humidity! Hope it's better there, since you're by the ocean!
Sounds like MM is going to have a really busy, wonderful Birthday!

Mits said...

Ceil, take a nap:)

floralgirl said...

Sounds like Ceil has extra cake...might be time for a cake road trip!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Helen, I would too! I wonder if the Osprey lived in a warm climate, like in California, so it didn't have to deal with really cold weather during the winter. I realize that both people and animals can manage to compensate for some terrible handicaps, but I still can't help being concerned for Koo.

Mits said...

when I get a chance will email the osprey expert, R.O. Bieuggard, (SP), don't know why I did not think of that before...he is usually good ant answering mail, but doubt if he can help

wvgal_dana said...

The guy made it sound like this osprey with one leg was in Finland.

Lolly said...

Well, have finished my walking/excercise and now my hair is wet. Lovely! Need to clean up and head out. Been searching for a birthday present for Ashley. What do you buy for a daughter in law that has a new house but has everything? I was looking for a wall clock for their patio, also thought of a gift certificate. I do not get her plants. She does not water them.

wvgal_dana said...

Well like others I have googled and searched before and today. To no avail of finding any osprey that lived 15 yrs. with one leg.

wvgal_dana said...

Going to put eye drops in eyes. Rest a little.

Tomorrow AM is my surgery for left eye cataract. I believe things will go as well as they did for the right eye. Certain that a prayer will help that come true. Thank You ( :

Ms Bookworm said...

Eagle gang,

I received an e-mail from a friend in Ohio, asking for prayer for an 8-year-old boy, Samuel Gordon Bish, who was just diagnosed with stage 4 Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). It's in his right knee, and has spread to his lungs. It's a particularly agressive type of cancer, and will be treated with some agressive forms of chemo. Sam is starting the 3rd grade this year, and this treatment will be tough to deal with. His parents are requesting prayer for his healing. Please pray if you're prompted to do so.
Thanks!

Ms Bookworm said...

Dana,
Prayers being said for your eye surgery tomorrow, that all goes well for you!

Mits said...

big prayers for Sam:(

Lolly said...

Major prayers for Samuel!! He is the same age as my Joseph.

Prayers for you too, Dana, that all will go well.

Just found a beautiful patio clock on line, no shipping. Love the internet!

Ms Bookworm said...

Patio clock sounds perfect, Lolly!
Thanks for the prayers, you guys!

Bob Quinn said...

Prayers for Sam.

Dana - Good luck with your eye surgery. I need cataract surgery for one eye. I'm told it is unusual to have only one eye affected and that it must have suffered some trauma at some point. I shiver at the thought of eye surgery.

Mits said...

its late and there is an MT nest at Finney's

Mits said...

Hoodie at Finland

movin said...


iT'S NOT so close to the ocean here, Bookworm, but I guess the breezes channel a little better than where you are in Anaheim. It didn't go much higher than 85° yesterday, but high humidity, for sure.

I remember traveling to Minn. for a family wedding once in late August (in the '80's I think), got detoured because of mud slides to Needles, CA, which is right on the Colorado River. I got there around midnight, stopped for gas and a bite to eat and drink, and the service station had one of those electronic signs with the temperature and humidity displayed.
IT WAS EITHER 100% HUMIDITY AND 99°, OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND!! ...At midnight!

That's miserable weather in my book.

C(°ٿ°)D


Jim

movin said...

Panda cub is alone now.

Jim

Ms Bookworm said...

Wow, Jim, all I can say about that weather is Yuuuuuck!!

Gonna go get some lunch and run a couple of errands. BBIALW...

NatureNut said...

HAPPY BIRTHAY TO MARY MARGARET
☺ ♥


Good afternoon Eaglebuds. Been lokking around a little----was getting dark and Koo's nest is MT!
Have to look again---will it be night in the nest?or another place? Wish there was someone there that could do commentary on the area!!

ceil said...

Prayers for Sam and Dana.
Bob no what you mean. Have cataracts but still very small.

ceil said...

Mits don't have time to take a nap. Friends just left and dropped off flowers for MM. Men here for some work that has to be done.
Megan will need help eating all this cake.

NatureNut said...

Good luck and blessings for your other eye procedure, Dana & prayers for little Sam, Andrea.

NatureNut said...

I've seen posts about the 15 year old osprey with one leg and thought it was in US. There are pics of others.One was in CA, I think. I think a link was posted here awhile back on one flying over water. I think that one is in Finland.
I agree that if they lived in warmer climes, they wouldn't have to migrate. We need to go kidnap Koo and set her up in the South!
Wonder where she's spending the night?

Mema Jo said...

Prayers will be with you Dana!

Going to put my feet up for and hour before my visitor comes for dinner!

BBILW

ceil said...

Loretta I'm game. Let's get Koo and fly her to Africa. Wish it were that easy.

ceil said...

We had meatballs last night and I thought of little meatball.

floralgirl said...

Good luck tomorrow, Dana. Sure things will go as smoothly with this eye as they did with the other eye.

Judie said...

Late in the day but thank you Steve.

Hi everyone,

Been busy with school prep. I am NOT ready to go back!

Dana, tomorrow's surgery will be as easy as the right eye, maybe easier as you know what to expect. Still, prayers for you. Beginnings of same for both my eyes but early days yet.

Prayer for young Samuel. Children should be excluded from these illnesses.

Jo, enjoy tonight.

Ceil, enjoy the evening then send cake to bloggers!

Hi Bob and Jim.

Just hate seeing Koo all alone. Wonder if animals in the wild feel an emotion such as loneliness or wonder why parents/siblings don't return? Wish someone could help an otherwise healthy osprey survive.

Now to take a break. Almost time to peer into the frig for inspiration AND food.

Judie

NatureNut said...

Ceil, if she goes to Africa, she'll have to migrate back. She should be in FL, Gulf Coast or S. CA!!! Can stay there all year! ☺
Looks like a first---she's spending the night out. Will put some MT nest pics on in a sec.

Judie said...

Hi,

Just checked on Bai Yun and think my eyes deceive me. Looks like a section of the den is open to the outside with much more light. She's facing that area. Must be wrong.

Judie

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon, my eagle budlets! I am sitting here looking at the Peaks of Otter, watching the breeze blow and listening to music! Saw a young buck out here in the yard yesterday playing around.

hedgie said...

Hi gang. Back from my jaunt to the horsepital.
Lots of chat to catch up on!
Definitely prayers for little Sam--what an awful ordeal for a little one to have to go through, and for you, Dana---it will go fine! Never heard that about one cataract vs. two, Bob. I have one early one...only eye injury I ever had was when I was hand-sewing military stuff on a shirt and the needle broke and part of it embedded in my eye, but don't remember which eye it was!

Lolly, gotta say the male housekeeper didn't do a very good job....but considering that I couldn't have pushed a vacuum if my life depended on it, it was better than nothing!

hedgie said...

Mmmmmm....did somebody say CAKES???

Ceil, hope you can stay up with us! Everything is a go so far......MTBR!

Suz says that dad is the one who has been tending to Koo....says she hasn't seen mom in a week; one sibling still around. She says that male always comes first and starts nestorations and "closes up house" after everyone else is gone. Maybe today was the day that he finally told Koo "this is it, kid...time to hit the road."

hedgie said...

Hey, Shar---what are the Peaks of Otter???

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - good luck tomorrow, I'm sure it will go just as well as the first one.

Opsrey at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

Peaks of Otter sounds like a mountain.

Mema Jo said...

Peaks of Otter must be a breathless view of the 3 mountains that make up the Peaks of Otter.
Just went to google it... Right there in Bedford!
Very peaceful I am sure, Sharon.

floralgirl said...

The Peaks of Otter are three mountain peaks in the Blue Ridge Mountains, overlooking the town of Bedford, Virginia. Don't ya just love Google?

wvgal_dana said...

Well needed nap.

Thank you all for the prayers. I'm sure all will go very well.

Bob don't take a chance and wait. Honestly it isn't as bad as it sounds.

Awww now that's what I am talking about. Children and illness....dang...such a little fellow...Andrea dear you have my prayers for Sam and his parents.

Discovery Gets the "Go" for Tanking
Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:25:02 PM UTC-0100


The "Go" was given to load space shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank. Discovery’s launch was postponed early Tuesday morning due to lingering thunderstorms in the vicinity of the launch pad.

The current weather forecast is 70 percent favorable conditions for launch. The primary concern is cumulus clouds and showers within 20 nautical miles of the shuttle landing facility at the time of launch.

Tanking commentary on NASA TV will begin at 3:30 p.m. and fueling operations will start at approximately 3:45 p.m. EDT. Launch commentary will begin tonight at 8 p.m.

Weather permitting, launch is scheduled for 1:10 a.m.

hedgie said...

Just saw a squirrel holding a Belle/Lib sized stick like a barbell, and he chewed it in half! Must think he's Bucky Beaver!!

Mits said...

beautiful shot of shuttle with the ocean in the background

hedgie said...

Yep, gotta love google...never heard of those mountains! Thelma and now Sharon must have a lovely sight!

Mits said...

well they changed views

hedgie said...

Another reason for a Bedford field trip!

floralgirl said...

And there's always Peaks of Otter winery...

hedgie said...

For the first time since VietNam, the Old Guard at Ft. Myers is sending a unit overseas. Now military funerals will take even longer at Arlington.

Mema Jo said...

And Wanda and I will bring the Cheeses!

"Meatball" has arrived and so I am out of here for a while. She bit her bottom lip earlier today but she says No Needles!
It's not real bad.

Lolly said...

Poor Meatball! Is she enjoying pre-k?

Lolly said...

Noisy birds on the cam!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - Her first day of Pre K is Thursday of this week. Tomorrow she is to go in at 11:00 and meet her teacher. Then by Friday she will take over the whole class! lol

Lolly said...

LOL Would like to introduce her to Jacob. They would probably be a riot together. He is sooo stubborn and bosy!

hedgie said...

Dinner is over and I'm heading for the sofa for a panda nap! See ya' later.

Lolly said...

Jacob really enjoyed yesterday. He saw his best friend from last year on the playground. He also said nap time went by fast. He demonstrated to his mom how his eyes popped open when they turned on the lights after nap time. He must have fallen asleep fast.

Mits said...

shuttle launch has been scrubbed.

Mits said...

Valve Problem Scrubs Launch Try
Tue, 25 Aug 2009 09:01:00 PM UTC-0100


A problem with a fill-and-drain valve inside space shuttle Discovery's aft compartment has scrubbed the Wednesday morning launch attempt for STS-128. The launch team is evaluating the issue and has not set a new launch date and time at this point.

Mema Jo said...

You can holler and wake up Hedgie from her nap on the couch since she doesn't need to stay up after midnight!
Disappointing but glad they don't take any chances.

Mema Jo said...

San Diego is showing ZZ
He is running all over the place - rolling and rolling.........

NatureNut said...

I don't know when it was announced, but Shuttle launch is scrubbed due to a stuck valve.
It's always something, but glad they find these things.

NatureNut said...

Sorry, hadn't seen that you wrote it, Helen.☺ Was over on the NASA site.

hedgie said...

Heard the scrub just before I conked out...dog was on my lap so didn't get up to post!! Shucks!!!

Mits said...

I was looking forward to our launch party, and some BD cake...:)

Mits said...

forecasters are looking at another possible storm coming up the east coast for this weekend....yuck

hedgie said...

Yeah, they are. Ceil and MM---freeze some cake for our next shuttle party, please!

stronghunter said...

Good evening everybody, I have been lurking a bit.

Dana, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I would like to know how much difference the surgery makes in vision. I have an eye doctor's appointment on Oct. 3. I know I have cataracts, but do not know that I need surgery.

On Social Security--I think some elegibilies have been changed, but I do not know more than that.

I would like to be able to ride a scooter around the building.

stronghunter said...

My posters came today! I will put them up tomorrow.

T-Bird said...

T-Bird said...

stronghunter said...

I keep getting phone calls for someone I have never heard of. Debt collectors. I have told the callers several times that the person does not live here. They promise to stop the calls, but they just keep on calling. Frustrating.

One day I waited for about 30 minutes on hold to tell someone that this person does not live here. Finally gave up. They call, then put a person on hold for at least 30 minutes? Not a very effective way to collect money.

Mits said...

hi ya Thelma.....what's up???

Mits said...

how annoying, Shirley

stronghunter said...

Maybe Thelma is having issues with the blogger cop.

floralgirl said...

Hmmm...maybe Thelma is sending us a secret message.

hedgie said...

LOL...I was trying to figure out T-birds' code!!

wvgal_dana said...

It is Thelma code..

hedgie said...

Thelma, if you need help, type 911!

deb said...

I am home, with lots to report. I need to quickly feed the dogs and I'll be back to catch you all up!

wvgal_dana said...

Is Sharon at Thelma's yet?

stronghunter said...

Maybe the basset hound is typing for Thelma.

floralgirl said...

Buddy...is that you???

ceil said...

Maybe one of the dogs hit the keys.
Good evening everyone. Mary Margaret had a good birthday.SHE SAID TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE CARDS AND BIRTHDAY WISHES. Plenty of cake for everyone.
I want to go to Peak Otter or whatever. She the sights and go to the winery.

ceil said...

Sharon is there and so are her dogs.
Deb hurry back.
Well guess we will not have a launch party tonight.

floralgirl said...

Oh cake...I'm so hungry.

hedgie said...

Ceil, don't think you need to "she" the shights at the Winery!!! Love to MM!!

Lolly said...

LOL So now we have Buddy trying to blog.

ceil said...

The way I am spelling looks like I have been to the winery. Only one Margarita and the girl asked if I wanted a double tequila in it. Told her no unless she wanted to drag me to the car.

stronghunter said...

George tries to blog from time to time. Walks right over the keyboard.

Lolly said...

And Ceil has celebrated MM's birthday a little too much!

deb said...

While I took the Osprey in for surgery today, Janie was taken back in for more work on her hands. Today they decided to do the other sting from the catfish. I don't think she will ever touch a catfish again! She seemed pretty good tonight when I dropped off Toto. Tomorrow we will re-release Gabby.

Oven dinging, brb.

Lolly said...

Anxious to hear about Deb's interesting day. She who travels with birds!

ceil said...

Lolly think you are right.

stronghunter said...

Gotta wait around for Deb's news.

ceil said...

Poor Janie.

ceil said...

Deb how did ToTo due?

Lolly said...

So, Deb, did Toto deck your truck with a poop shoot?

NatureNut said...

Ceil, glad you all had a great party. Yres you'll have to freeze some cake for an Otter Peaks field trip. Sure sounds like that TV show!! LOL
Saw T-Bird's cryptic messages----c & er hmmm?

floralgirl said...

Yeah, how's To To ? And what's in the oven?

Lolly said...

Thelma's message is a mystery. I love mysteries!!

Mema Jo said...

Hey Ceil - Let's see you type

She sells seashells down by the
seashore!

Lolly said...

Maybe it is code!!

ceil said...

Megan wish I lived closer to you. I could help you with the flowers, feed you and we would be able to go to the winery.

Lolly said...

LOL I love it, Jo!

Mema Jo said...

Deb - you will be off on Wed to let Gabby take off Right?

wvgal_dana said...

Has Buddy been in the wine?

ceil said...

Going down the seashore next week. Yeppie.She will get some seashells.

Mema Jo said...

Thelma - if you need help

Pick up the phone and Dial 911

lol

NatureNut said...

I can't spell either & I haven't had any drinks, just can't see the keyboard. (Had 3 typing classes in school & still gotta look--think nails are too long)

Mema Jo said...

Is the road trip scheduled for SEPTEMBER ?

deb said...

I am mostly caught up. Dana, prayers for surgery tomorrow! Also for Sam for healing.


Toto did well, no poop shoots in my pick-up. I lined the back seat with a plastic drop cloth, just in case.

We made the trip well. Janie had put a hood on him to keep him calm during the trip. I would check on him every once in awhile to see how he was doing. I looked back about half way there and saw an eye. He somehow took off the hood, but he stayed calm most of the way.

Mits said...

gee-looweez, left to hook up new phone, and came back and 35 posts to read.....yeppers, Ceil and gang are coming next week:)

deb said...

When I got to Spirit Lake, I reached in my purse for the directions to the vet. Uh oh, I left them at home! I couldn't call Janie, she was in surgery, so I stopped at a gas station and asked for help. Two very nice ladies helped along with the yellow pages. I kept saying his name was Dr Ross. I was mostly right, Dr. Ross Dirks!

Mits said...

good luck tomorrow, Dana

floralgirl said...

September 5-6,12-13,19-20,26-27 An Apple A Day Open House At Peaks of Otter Winery
Enjoy the benefits of eating and sampling our many varieties of apples and taste Fruit of the Farm wine.

Mits said...

well glad you are home safe and sound, Deb...give Gabby a pet for us tomorrow

floralgirl said...

Ceil, I'd invite you over, but the only spare room I have is in the blue mkt. van...lol...

Mits said...

I like apples:)....only wine I like is pinot grigio

Mits said...

she won't mind, Megan:)

ceil said...

Deb so glad you did not have a problem with Toto

floralgirl said...

That's cause she hasn't seen it.

Mits said...

she needs a road trip:)

deb said...

The vets office was busy, so there was no one to help with ToTo's surgery. So today, I held Toto's leg while the Dr. did the operation. It was very interesting to watch. He kept saying "Are you sure you can do this?" We did well together for a rookie, at least I think we did. :)

floralgirl said...

Sounds like you had quite an interesting day, Deb.

Lolly said...

Wine should be made out of grapes, not apples!

wvgal_dana said...

Ceil can't drive tonight...she has been partying...needs a chauffeur.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley I bet you are anxious to put up on the walls or down on the floor the posters you got.
But don't go riding a scooter around the building or in the hallways!

ceil said...

Megan I saw your blue van last year. No problem.
Deb nice job.

Lolly said...

Wow, Deb, what an experience. What kind of surgery was it?

Mits said...

Jo, there is a 3D monie coming out next month...Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, think it was a book?

Mits said...

you can take your little meatball to see it

Mits said...

hell, I want to see it

ceil said...

Apple wine sounds good to me. When son lived in Boston. We had blueberry beer. Had blueberries floating in it. Pretty goo.

hedgie said...

Deb, glad your trip went okay with To To...smart rascal getting the hood off! An dglad that Janie is doing better. Tell her she is in momster prayers! Hope things go well with Gabby tomorrow.

Lolly said...

Deb, you might have to go back to school and change your profession.

floralgirl said...

Well, ok, Ceil, but with the rust holes on the side, I can't guarantee it to be pest proof.
No worries, Lolly, they list many different wines, several from grapes.

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

How is everyone?

Went out tonight to get my haircut!

Mema Jo said...

You had your hands full, Deb so I guess there just wasn't any opportunity for pics.

I sure hope Janie gets along ok with her hands healing. That has to be nasty stuff from the barb.. I had heard before about wearing Gloves when handling them.

I NEED SOME CAKE !!! and I'll take
Ice Cream with it on the side!!!!

Guess I'll just eat my old graham cracker with peanut butter.. I sure don't like restricted diets at age 70

Lolly said...

Took the boys to see Ice Age 3D. It was good. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a children's book. Have it in the other room.

Mema Jo said...

OK I'll take you and Meatball to see it. I saw it being advertised today on TV.......

floralgirl said...

I remember that book, it was a favorite here.

hedgie said...

Shirley, how did your day go today? Glad you got your new posters!

deb said...

I didn't get pictures, I would have liked to, but it just wasn't possible. The surgery was to remove an infected Talon. Janie didn't like the way it looked, Dr Dirks agreed.

wvgal_dana said...

Megan I can't believe the blue van won't be at the Market anymore. It is a floral relic.

Mema Jo said...

Germany gang went to see Ice Age when they were here and enjoyed it. I like all the kids movies !

ceil said...

Jo I forgot to get the ice cream.

paula eagleholic said...

So, Ceil is gonna camp in the blue van?

Lolly said...

Hi Paula! Blog has gone wild tonight. Ceil has had too much to drink from partying today. Buddy is trying to blog, or maybe it was Thelma typing in code. Deb helped in surgery and Jo is rambling on about meatballs. Oh, and Megan is now renting out the blue van to guests. What is this blog coming to?

paula eagleholic said...

What? No ice cream?

I've never heard of that book, sounds great.

paula eagleholic said...

I have some ice cream. Just bring that extra cake over here. :)

stronghunter said...

I am going to have to take a picture of the halls I have to make my way down each day so that you will understand about the scooter.

I am sorry I can't comment on everybody's messages tonight. I will end the evening by saying that I wish everyone well and hope you have a good evening. My legs are tired and my brain wants me to go to bed.

Maybe I won't get a scooter, but think I will get a nice comfortable stool. I am thinking a padded bar stool.

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - sounds like a really neat experience. Glad Janie is doing better.

hedgie said...

Cool, deb...yeah, you could be a veterinary assistant...if your heart can stand it. :(

paula eagleholic said...

Have a good rest, Shirley. And padded is good!

Lolly - no comment!!

Mits said...

party at Paula's house:)

Lolly said...

Shirley, you need a directors chair! Laurel has one and loves it.

Understand your being tired! Have a glass of wine, and go to bed.

Mits said...

I don't even like cake that much, and yet, I want some NOW!

floralgirl said...

Dana, I love that, a floral relic. We have driven it for 21 years, guess we got our money's worth.

NatureNut said...

Deb, what an interesting day! And now you can be an official rehabber and vet asst! Maybe another career? Did vet sedate To To or just keep hood on? I would imagine he would have been wiggley.
Read today about homeopathic meds used on ospreys and other birds that calms them.
I missed that Gabby never went anywhere. I know the day they were to be released it was raining & they didn't want to go.

G'night, pooped Shirley. Rest well! You could borrow Judie's wheelchair---sure that she would share!

Paula, some of us are just punchy from late hours last night waiting for launch that wasn't!

floralgirl said...

Party??? with cake and ice cream...I'm in.

stronghunter said...

The day went well. Students were fine.

I am getting ready to launch into Beowulf with the seniors.

Good night all.

This is what happens when they call off the launch. People have taken naps in order to be up for the launch that was suppose to happen. Now we have to party on here.

ceil said...

Shirley good night.
Paula have cake will travel.

stronghunter said...

We have some ramps in the building. I could build up some speed going downhill in a wheelchair. Judie might be worried about what I would do to it!

Deb - Janie had to have surgery on her hand?

And you never did say what was in the oven!

And was that Buddy? Or did Thelma make it to the winery ahead of all of us?

Post-Scrub Briefing Moves to 10 p.m.
Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:47:38 AM UTC-0100


The post-scrub news briefing has been scheduled for 10 p.m. to discuss the postponement of the launch of space shuttle Discovery on the STS-128 mission. The scrub was prompted earlier today when a problem developed with a valve in the aft compartment of Discovery.

Thelma is still a mystery....

stronghunter said...

You all are something else. Your interests are amazing.

Bless you all.

The vet put a tube over the Osprey's head and it was out in about two-three minutes. It only took about 5-10 minutes to come out enough to stand. It was very interesting to see.

deb said...

Megan, I knew there must be a way to make money with the van, an adventure in sleeping!

Mits said...

wish you could have taken some pics....I think you would make a great vet assitant.

SPLIT COMING UP:)

Yes, spend a nite in the garden, enjoy the sights and sounds of the country in a rustic antique floral van. BYOB
