Thanks Steve, You are an Evening Owl...I will go surprise the others !
Thanks Steve and Margy!
Thanks Margy and Thank You Steve for the fresh thread! We did fill up the other one!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the new thread,Steve. And thanks Margie for the call over.
Just checking in before I get a glass of "gingerale" and relax.
Also, thanks Jo for the Cold Case reminder.
Not much activity at the cams. Quiet night, so far.
Raccoon in PA woods looked like he was waiting for the food shoot. Went behind a log and seemed to be waiting. Took off when it happened. I would get out of the way myself if food got shot at me!
So, Judy, what is in that gingerale?
thanks, for the call over, Margy
Evening, all!
How is everyone this fine fall evening?
read thru posts from yesterday and today..all caught up....had a fun day Buddy Walk this a.m., girls had a good time, then hubby Ceil and Mary Margaret went to the football game, it was a good one and weather was nice.....have to unpack tomorrow, got alot of stuff to do this week.
Nice to have you back home, Mits.
Will has friends over this evening. He's experimenting with some hot peppers in his chili. I am not sure I am going to try it!
nice to be back, Paula:)..how was your weekend...
George is ever hopeful. Looking for handouts from the guests.
Hi Paula and Mits.
Hi Paula - How is the house renovation coming along?
Anne Marie is in Shepherdstown for lunch tomorrow at the Clarion. I know you said you couldn't do lunch but let me know if your plans change.
Hi Shirley, Mits and Jo.
No Jo, Can't do lunch tomorrow...rats. Please give Anne, Bill and Sandy hugs from me.
House is coming along....came back up to Frederick Saturday to pick up one of our trucks, am taking stuff to auction house here in Eburg in the morning.
Got a dumpster this past Friday, starting to get rid of lots of junk. House is looking good.
My son has brought down some extra help to get things done...hope to see a lot of progress this week...he will be there for 4 days instead of 2 this week.
How long and where was your Buddy walk, Mits?
I can't wait to have the time to walk again, haven't been able to in months.
Sounds like people in th Pa woods--not really sure what I am hearing.
it was the Kennedy Krieger Buddy Walk...on the grounds of Northrup-Grumman at BWI airport....walk is 2 miles, run is 4 miles....Hubby's sister ran the 4 miles.........Maggie entertained everyone by doing the Hokie-Pokie:)
Paula - your new avatar is a blast ! No doubt, the house is looking good!
Hi Mits, sorry I missed knowing today was the Buddy Walk....
Seems like it was pretty good weather, more or less??
xo
Sounds nice Mits. Bet Maggie was a dancing doll!
both girls were in rare form today..weather was good Margy, rain stopped before the walk started...
3 weeks and counting to Benjamin Patrick arrives....
Deer are at the Okie Bird Cam
Mits I bet Maggie brought the house down!
Sounds great!
Shirley
I know I would not know what I am hearing at PIX PA 'cause I can't hear it ! :(
Maybe at tax time...new computer....maybe....
that would be good timing for nesting at NCTC - -if we have a live cam with sound ☺
Wow, only 3 weeks...guess everyone is getting excited!
really tired, going to watch some TV, and bet I miss Cold Case:(, good night everyone....
Let's see...I have 29 more weeks to wait :)
time will fly, Paula, is this baby #3
Paula do you think this will be grandson #3 ?
Mits I am yawning like crazy and sure hope I don't miss Cold Case at 10.
Another whole hour to go..........
If we fall asleep I hope Lynn wakes up and can tell us about the story. lol
Everyone is hoping for a girl...and this will be #3
Don't know what they will do if it's a boy! She is thinking it's a boy, not trying to keep hopes up for a girl, just in case.
Going to take a break before Cold Case is on and then I'll be back to say
good night and read the last of the remarks for the day.
BBL
Good Night Mits...
Oh, my square plate is actually octagonal...
Mikasa Continental Ivory pattern F4005 Majestic...(you could google it to see how pretty it is...)
Just about the best fifty cents I ever spent
going to start putting lunch and things together for dayshift Monday,
will be back to day good night..
Hey Judie... It is now officially Sunday, by the way.
Wah...
time and dates...
son in law told me six hours ago he would call me back in one hour...not sure what one hour he was talking about.
TTFN
That's all very exciting Paula...what do the little boys want, another brother, or a sister?
☺ Guess can't buy pink or blue clothes yet....
Ah, Shirley, a strong bit of ginger, to be sure!
I think I missed something somewhere because it seems Paula is having a baby -- well, maybe a grandbaby. Congratulations!
So glad the buddy walk was successful and weather was nice.
Okay, Margie, if you say it's Sunday, then it is Sunday. Just wish I could have an extra Sunday this week. By the way, MIL had a complete never used set of Lennox we would love to sell. Turns out it is really worth a bunch.
Need to go finish my gingerale while I watch Cold Case, if I can stay awake.
Back later to say goodnight.
I like the Northern Neck ginger ale when I can get it. I think it has a little extra zip. Do you know that brand, Judie?
Wow, Paula....don't know if I missed a post somewhere along the way or if my brain has really fizzed out........didn't know you were going to be a grandma again! Congrats!!
Welcome "home" home, Mits! So sad for summer to end, but with a new baby coming, you won't be without fun!
All caught up on the blog...lots of good news....Davin is home, Finland is up. Lots of good conversation!
Bob - I don't think you meant to ask me about a Dawn Murray that worked with me...maybe Margy?
Wake up, nappers....almost time for Cold Case!!
Megan - are the honey crisp apples in yet? I turned my brother onto those last year, they are really good apples. Not sure how many fall festivals I can attend this year...Open House may be the only one.
Nope, guys, just announced it tonight about grandbaby #3...she's 11 weeks...felt like it was "safe enough" to let everyone know!
Well, congratulations, Paula. That is exciting news!
Time delay, I see, for Cold Case....guess a game ran over. NOW it is almost time!
CONGRTULATIONS PAULA!! Now how exciting is that?!! Oh, I would LOVE another grandbaby, but I am afraid it is not to be. Will have to wait till Joseph has grown to have great grands. So I am a long way from that. Hopefully!
Beem watching the new Natl. Park Program. Jack and I were really enjoying it. Makes me want to head to the mountains!!!
No, Jo, I have not considered going to get him. He has his school and I hate for him to miss that, especially since he will already be missing it when we have him on the trip. We are taking his "homework" with us. lol He also has his soccer practice. This is when I really wish we lived closer.
Cool here tonight, down to 64°..have to get new indoor/outdoor thermometer...mine is stuck on celsius!
Yes, Shirley it's exciting news!
A good Sunday night to everyone. I have had a busy weekend. It started on Friday when I went to Bluefield. Saturday, Mattie and I went to Scott Depot, visited with Andrew and Kelsey's family. Went to a band competition last night where the WV State University's band was the exhibition show. It was awesome. Went to Claytor Lake today and had a family get together. It was great seeing everybody but it is also great being back home! Wore slam out! :)
What I am doing is considering taking food up there Tues. Think I will. I could clean her house a little, catch up on the laundry, and feed the family. That would mentally make her feel better. I am not afraid of getting sick. Will stay away from her and wash my hands a lot.
Have a doctors appointment Wed morning and the funeral to go to Wed. Probably we will get the trailer Thursday and start getting ready to leave.
Well, folks, this is a pic of brother Randy, Beverly, me and brother Ronnie.
I am sure she will appreciate your help, Lolly. Do take care of yourself. It sounds like the flu, could be H1N1.
It is 60° in Bedford. Should be for some pretty good sleeping weather with the windows open! It is going to be great to be in my bed tonight.
Nighty-nite to those who are headed to bed.Been doing a couple chores & editing pics I had forgotten about----Marsh Flowers I took TU. Learned something cool while looking for a clip art blow-up of Spotted Jewelweed flower. Several ingredients in it are used for Prep. H!!!! Well now we know what bears in the woods can use! LOL Gotta ID one that I never saw it's flower before.LOeaf looks like arrowhead.
Lolly, wanted to extend my sympathies to Jack's friend. That's a terrible accident. Same thing happened years ago to the brother of our former Director who was visiting from Ohio.
And get well quick to Laurel.
Gonna watch some TV & get dessert.
Just talked with Laurel. She is keeping her fever down with advil. She can not stop coughing and she sounds horrible. Taking her lessons plans to school in the morning and papers to the copy center. She will then email in any more changes. She is going to the doctor. Yes, we figure it is the flu and after testing will find out what kind. What a rough way to start the school year!!
Nice pic Sharon...sounds like you had a nice weekend.
Lolly - sorry to hear about Jack's friend.
It is nice to be able to e-mail lesson plans. It would be helpful if someone could pick up any papers she has to take in so she doesn't have to do that.
We are able to get a sub online now. Can even send the lesson plan with the sub request, although I always send copies to at least two friends just in case.
Can't wait to see the new picture posts Loretta. I might get my milkweed bugs up in a few minutes...
Paula, not sure, I don't know Dawn Murray either, but maybe he did intend that one for me..,
and I figured I missed a post also or that you and Mits talked about it when you were at OC, about Grandchild #3, guess I didn't want to admit I CRS.
Judie if it is Lennox, it is Priceless aka our JO
Get it? ☺
Jo is a priceless Lennox for sure!
Don't want to miss anyone, so before that happens
Good Night for those Pillow-Bound, or pillows and blankies where it is cool
And I'll be back for another good night in a few minutes...
Got lunch all ready for next two days, chicken salad and things like that.
That IS an awesome picture, Sharon...lovely family.
You sure did pack a punch this week-end, good for you!
Andrew doing okay?
Spotted jewelweed huh....interesting, Loretta, and I have been seeing it for months, which reminds me: I saw a hummingbird today, diving for jewelweed, and New England Asters- no way I can photograph that kind of stuff yet. And the leaves gently falling, at times was not sure I was seeing birds flying of leaves falling.
Lots of Yellow around these parts!
And where is our Deb ???????
I saw a hummingbird a couple of days ago.
Going to crawl into my bed now. Good night, everyone.
Yes, Shirley, they have an automated sub finder system. We had that before I retired. Nice! Yes, I am sorry she has to drive to school in the morning. She is going really early too, before anyone is there.
She likes to have her lessons plans done by Friday, but has not been able to catch up since school started. They have been having to go to meetings during their planning periods and she has not had enough time. She has been so frustrated. Her new principal and new vp are workaholics and expect the same of the teachers. She is not building morale among the teachers.....at all!
Nite Shirley! Have a good week!
Nite all! Going to watch the news and then head to bed.
Sweet dreams!
Hi, Everyone,
Taking a break from after-dinner Anatomy homework, and realized it's pretty late back east!
Lolly, so sorry to hear about Jack's good friend--and sorry he had to hear about it in the newspaper! My deepest sympathy to both of you! Prayers for you, for Jack, and his friend's family.
Prayers too that Laurel recovers from that nasty bug really soon, and for Jacob and the rest of the family, for continued excellent health! Also prayers that your New Mexico trip will be a fantastic memory maker! Sounds like so much fun!
Jo, thanks for the report on Ed and Dana with such good news! Thank God! Prayers continue for both of them!
Judie, so glad you had a good time at lunch--prayers that you'll be able to get everything done for school tomorrow!
Margy, that's great that you got to see the flyover! I'm going to have to try that sometime.
Well, I'd really better get back to the ole homework.
Prayers being said for all; hope you all have a really restful night's sleep, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
SPECIAL EARLY BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR RED, AND PRAYERS APLENTY FOR A VERY SUCCESSFUL SURGERY TOMORROW, AND A RECORD-BREAKING, SPEEDY RECOVERY!!!
Leaving my night light on; the porch light will light up when it sees you coming, and the eye scanner is fully enabled. G'night, everyone!
Good Night Shirley, Lolly, Andy and everyone else. I got pics up on Fun and Dandy, and Feathers, Fur and Miscelleneous....
Prayers for so many, here and across the country, sad family tragedy in Mt. Airy Md, so many affected, Medevac down in SC last night with nurse, paramedic and pilot killed...Prayers for comfort and strength.
Hope sleep is restful and restorative.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
P.S.--Forgot to thank Steve for the new thread!
Also forgot to mention that we went and saw the new FAME movie late this afternoon. It's really good!!! Loved the music; SO MUCH talent all in one place!
Well, better call it a night here, for sure--homework is calling my name! Good night, everyone.
Hmmmm....good show! Haven't seen Anita Gillette in forever! Not quite the perky cutie I remember.
Thanks, Paula---glad to know I didn't miss something important like that great news!
Nice pic, Sharon---good lookin' family! You hair is LONGER!
Deb had to work today, Margy, but maybe she had evening plans afterwards. Sure hope she didn't come home with a migraine.
Good night to all who have already turned out their lights.
Paula, went to your profile to see your avatar bigger---opened the raptor blog link and saw the sad news about the poisoned eagle. What a sad story. Know that they had been so hopeful with her early response to treatment.
Think I'm going to get a bowl of ice cream and then head for the tub. See some of you tomorrow, and talk to all sometime--3rd morning in a row that I have to get up a bit early and be ready to head out, but tomorrow will be the earliest!
Rest well, fine fowl folk. Prayers for all.
Had to chat w/ son about house renovations....now have to fold laundry and hit the hay...catch ya'll tomorrow!
Hugs to all ♥
P.S. Margy, wonder why the hay bales were in the water??? Nice pics!!
Never heard of Northern Neck gingerale - just the location.
Yea, Davin! We're all offering our strongest support for you.
Hi Sharon, so glad you had a nice weekend.
Lolly, just having Mom there will be the best medicine. Anything else will be a bonus immune system boost.
Oh dear. What to do? Anyone know how I can put the Lennox on ebay without putting our precious Lennox on ebay?
Well, Cold Case is over so my night is over, also. Brain = fried. Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Late nighters, please don't slam the door.
G'nite all,
Judie
I just missed you Judie!
Which Lennox on ebay?????
I need to read back faster to see what you are referencing. I'm not going on ebay... No one would bid high enough for me!
Cold Case was good - sometimes you can figure out who the guilty party is - they keep introducing new evidence.
It will be great to see Anne Marie again. I will give her all your hello's and hugs.
Good Night All
Peace to All
Prayers for All
((((hugs for all))) ♥
A Woolie-bear caterpillar is a sure sign it's autumn and I saw my first one just yesterday. However; I always was able to tell the weather by their colorings... usually in 3 sections: 1st part of winter, the middle of winter and the last part of winter. This one was very unusual... The black
mark was like a wide stripe down the entire body with the lighter coloring on the sides. I have no idea what it was predicting! Keep you eyes open for them.
AMAZING RACE was amazing. Love that show. Of course, Cold Case is always good. Glad reruns are over!
Congrats to Paula...do hope it's a girl. 2 sons and 2 grandsons...a girl would be soooo special. (Boys are sweet too, like my Dustin)
I am going to do an AMAZING RACE to my bed. See you all tomorrow. Or maybe not....busy day cut in half with a visit with Anne-Marie. Looking forward to lunch with her and happy that hop a long can go with me:)
GOOD NIGHT
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Lolly, maybe you should wear a surgical mask if you go to Laurel's. Worry about you getting sick too...then who would Jack take to New Mexico?;)
Happy Birthday Red ! ☺
Best wishes for your day today, hope the trip to the doctor's goes well and leaves you some time to enjoy your birthday
Best wishes to the Lunch Bunch today, meeting with Anne-Marie, Bill and Sandy...not enough time to stick us all in bottles.
So good that some of the Momsters and Dadsters can have some special time together. Hope you get to the nest, AND, that you see some Eagle Action ☺
Love and Hugs to Anne-Marie, (and everyone else there) and be sure to get pictures !!!
Thanks Jo for the call-around, it was great to hear your voice.
Regarding the Hay Bales in the water at Back Creek/Swinging Bridge...I can't figure out either how they got there, or what the reason would be. The farmer's field which is creekside (there is a view of the farm in that set of pictures too, Fun and Dandy) - was full of hay bales, maybe the farmer wanted to roll a few in the water because they were rejects, or, to provide some cover for the aquatic life. I will see if I can find out sometime. I'm hoping it was not kids pranking.
Okay it's that time, for me anyway.
Out the door, will look for Venus on the way to work ☺
Best Wishes for a Great Day for everyone...
Good Morning, Early Birds!
Got Hubby off to work about 20 minutes ago, and am about to start on Anatomy homework again. Wanted to say good morning to you guys first, though.
HEY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RED!
Hmmm...Hubby called right after leaving for work to tell me that an almost all white cat crossed our street just as he was leaving.
Apparently he stopped the car and said something to it, and he said he was pretty sure it would've gotten into the car if he had let it. Better be on the lookout in case it's hanging around. In our street is NOT a good place for a cat! Have no idea whether it has a home or not, but will look for 'lost cat' fliers today.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!----CONGRATS! MARGIE--Our #1 EAGLE MOM--today & every day!---HAPPY!--HAPPY BIRTHDAY RED!---W/have you in my thoughts & prayers today!!--Keep us informed---miss hearing from you----

Once again, have a fantastic lunch and visit with AM. Pictures are required!
Reading through this morning's comments! Good Monday Morning! I am
anxious to get over for lunch with Anne Marie... Sandy and Bill.
Hope Wanda brings her camera
Don't know about nest visit.. Sent the security list over.. Hope they see at least one of our eagle couple!
TTUL ♥
Lolly I pray it is just the regular flu that Laurel has. Good suggestion to wear a mask & great about washing your hands!! Wanda has a good point.
Happy Birthday Red! I am sure you will always remember this day! Prayers for you to recover quickly from the surgery! Glad I you got my card yesterday
BBL
Hope you make it to the nest as well, Jo.
Ya'll have fun!
yes, happy birthday, Red...
Now, I think it is going to be very quiet on here for a while.
Everyone is a work, school, or the lunch. Oh, well.
Happy Luncheon Monday!!! If anyone going is still around, say, "Hi" for me!
Should have gotten on here earlier, but was editing pictures.
Put about 3 sets on here last night.Thx for all the positive Comments on other pics. All the butterflies were taken at home, where I'm allowed to "leave the bldg". LOL Doing the last osprey sightings at Park before migration.Both days were cloudy and most turned out black & white! Trying to add a little contrast and hue. Regular day virus scan going on too----everything slow ;>(
Sent Red a card last night, but Good Wishes for hosp. and Happy B'Day.
Norma, so glad your daughter is home and doing well. ☺
Hi Loweeda! Been looking at your great pictures.
It is 73, bright sun shine, and a breeze from the north. Think I will head outside to have the rest of my coffee.
BBL
hooded crow at Finland nest
BTW, our buddy from Paw Paw called yesterday afternoon about story he saw on NBC. Seems the Forestville Mall where Ledos blew up in May experienced another gas leak. Was turned off before any explosion.Think most of the area involved is down near that end by old Ledos. Just heard that 3 stores that are OK to open stayed closed. They are digging, checking the lines and valves behind the stores! About time!!! They said explosion can occur when reading is 4.0. Yesterday it was 3.5. 9 firemen were injured from flying debris in May. That explosion occured after fumes detected and people evacuated.
Leaving home now - just talked to Anne Marie - Guess who they are picking up to have lunch with everyone -
SANDRA! First time at Open House Sandra gave the grand tour around town to AM and gd Diana. This is good!
BBL
have fun, Jo....give all a big (((hug))) from all of us:)
For sure! Mits.........
WV State University Drum Line
Sure do wish I was joining everybody today!

ferry going by at Finland nest...Jim I personally have never had sound at the Finland nest
I wonder when our cam will be operational again? I sent Steve an email asking for an update...but no reply as of yet...
Paula, hopefully the answer to that question is really soon!

Oregon cam still up and running, but tilted!...tilt your head on this one!
Back~~~~~got my "last gasp" Park osprey pics on blog. Now I can go thru Reunion stuff and maybe email pics to people. Don't know why, but last time (4 yrs ago) I printed out and mailed!!!We got EM addresses, but think most were still on dial up.
Paula, been meaning to congratulate you on Baby news!!! You're too young!!☺
Sharon, just saw the band video---they are great!!
Guess we'll get some lunch reports in awhile. Great that Sandra was there. Hope they got to go to NCTC.
BTW,at Chelsea office, they mowed down a large field in front early in week. Stopped cutting grass to provide habitat for wildlife.DUH Well, Friday a BIG eewwwiiiieee was in the field probably searching for tidbits. Got a pic--UGLY, so I didn't post it. Was a TV==head was a grayish purple, tho, not really red.
eagle back at BWO
There's a new thread.....
