Sharon, go back and delete your email address...you'll get tons of spam.

paula eagleholic said...

So football starts tonight for real?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, deleted!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yes, Paula, football for real tonight!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly, Sharon and Lynn You all have an email............

Lolly said...

Sharon, should have an email as well from me.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

66 days until Train! Going to bed now. Love you all!

magpie said...

Let me guess, is that Train on your new avatar Sharon ?

Mema Jo said...

Well Here's a question.......
Anyone who comes on this blog can click on a name and then click on their email.......... How do we protect against spam - Our email is how we signed in for our User Id...

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, gonna go watch TV for a bit.
Have a good night! Prayers being said for everyone. The night light is on, the porch light will see you coming, and the eye scanner is enabled. G'night!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I think we are good to go, at least with this group. :) I really forgot what a pain in the butt it is to change your email address. I have stuff everywhere!

Lolly said...

Oh, man, I have a headache tonight. Guess the weather must be getting to me.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Facebook, Facebook Train, trainline.com, Twitter Train - all things Train I guess! :)

hedgie said...

Chrissy told me about her latest incident with the vandals....don't whether the bobbies got there or not.
Just plain scary!
Lolly, I will send you instructions!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon the email on here is correct.
Did you lose all your addresses? I sent you some ... Let me know if you want more...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

CHOO CHOO! I was thinking that too Jo, about my email address being on my blog site.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

No I didn't lose any addresses, just didn't think I had Lolly's but did. I had forgotten to click on the show email address when I set this new google account up. It won't let you change addresses, you have to set up a whole new one.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And yes, Margy, that is Train - Jimmy Stafford, Pat Monahan and Scott Underwood!

Costume Lady said...

Sharon, I was never able to open up Paula's directions on Momsters either. I would love to try it, like, I have blonde roots and it will take me a month!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wanda, you've got mail!

Costume Lady said...

SHARON, Thank you so much. Now I have something to do in my SPARE TIME!;)

hedgie said...

Directions coming at you, Wanda!

Lolly said...

Or, if you are like me, you loose the directions. Around here some where!

hedgie said...

Ok...on it's way! Lolly, did you get it okay?

Lolly said...

I just went again to the directions on momsters for the clickable link. Still can not open it up. It is some kind of file that I can not open.

magpie said...

Going to bed my hiney, Sharon!
You are definitely pulling a Ceil-Margy!

Lolly said...

Got it Lynn!! Thanks!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I made a separate folder in my outlook express/windows live mail and saved it in there under "blue link instructions".

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

You are right, Margy, I am definitely pulling a Margy/Ceil!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Margy,
My bones are all still connected!
Got so weary of studying I've quit for today. Think I do better when I study for a bit, then stop for a while and let it all sink in.
Lolly,
What's the latest with Chrissy? Not another incident!! Doggone those people, anyway!

hedgie said...

Sharon, tell Thelma to check her email, please!!!! Haven't heard from her about Open House!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Sharon,
I like your avatar! Hmmm, not bad!

hedgie said...

She's been AWOL from here, too, for too long!!!

Lolly said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
hedgie said...

Speaking of AWOL.....wonder what's up with Red, Vicky, Indiana Dave, LoriEagleliscious, and, of course, Chrissy! :(

Lolly said...

Well, what do you know?! It worked, now I will delete it. lol Thanks again Lynn!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

A test that you passed with flying colors! YEAH!!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Andrea, that is what I'm saying, not bad at all!

hedgie said...

Works fine, Lolly!! You can also hit preview instead of publish to check to make sure it works!

Ms Bookworm said...

Sharon, I really love their song, Calling All Angels. Exceptional!

Lolly said...

That's the kind of test I like!

Laughed out loud at the email that was sent around. One of the phrases was something like this....."if you want to go back to your youth....remember algebra!"
I sat at the computer just giggling like an idiot. I can relate to that!

deb said...

I am home and have a lot of catching up to do! Maybe in the morning, I am tired tonight!

Ms Bookworm said...

I know what you mean, Lolly! Got a real kick out of that one, too!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Deb,
Hope you get a really good night's rest. See you in the morning.

hedgie said...

Hope your day was a great one, Deb!!

magpie said...

Another Momster returns to her roost! Hi Deb

Lolly said...

Need to tell you about my HS algebra teacher. He was weird! I did not like him at all! I struggled and passed. He wrote in my year book something to the effect "you thought you would not make it, but you did."

Years later, after college and married. I read in the paper about a mass murderer in east Texas. He charged into a church, shooting. Well, not many folks are named Albert King III and sure enough, it was him!

magpie said...

Nice Pretty Thistles Andy ☺

I just put two batches of wildflowers up on my link. Some have butterflies.

Going to Feathers, Fur and Misc now for some deer pictures.

Lolly said...

Hi and bye, Deb. We miss you in the evenings!

Ms Bookworm said...

Gosh, guess I've pulled a 'Margy' here! Paid another bill online that I almost forgot, and never got to the TV. Guess I'd better go see what's on. Prayers have been said for all; see you here in the morning. Good night. (I really am going this time!) :o]

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wow Lolly, that is some story!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I just tested out the momsters mail and it works now. For some reason it didn't save my new email address earlier.

Okay, folks I think I really might be going to bed now. More will be revealed!

Mema Jo said...

The link on Momster's opens up into
a Microsoft Office Word Doc. You may not have it and that is why it won't download.
It is there in full detail - believe me

Lolly said...

Whoa! That is an interesting comment..."more will be revealed". Hear the mysterious music playing.♫♫♫

Lolly said...

Good,Jo. Glad it opened for you. So sad...it did not like me.

Lolly said...

Jack is happy. Tech pulled it out in the end.

paula eagleholic said...

If your email address is just sitting out on the blog in a post, a "bot" can scan for it and send you spam email. A bot cannot click on your name and then send you an email.

Also, the clickable link instructions are on the momsters site 2 different ways...I found out some of you cannot open the word files...so it is out there in just a plain text format....like notepad. Hmmm, I just checked and it's not there! I'll repost it so you can access it again.

hedgie said...

Oh,my, Mits---news said 13 ft. waves hitting your beaches!! Grab your surf board....r-i-g-h-t!

deb said...

Tonight we had our Volunteer dinner. It was really a good time, and we laughed a lot. I got interviewed again today for the Yankton paper. They always ask what the best thing to come out of the event was. Today I told the honest truth and said it was the people I have met, the birds come in second. It is so nice to meet people who become so important in your life.

Thank you all for being in my life!

Night.

Lolly said...

Thank you, Deb, for being in our lives.

Lolly said...

Thanks, Paula. Lynn emailed me the directions and I am good to go!

hedgie said...

Goodnight, Andy...rest up for tomorrow's test!
Lolly, that is really scary! What a bad memory to have of a teacher!

Lolly said...

Whoa, on the news.... Gas war in our area. Two stations with $1.99 a gallon.

hedgie said...

Night, Sharon! See ya' tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wow Deb, that is a powerful thing you said. I say DITTO to that! Bestest friends in the world!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, so maybe more was revealed and I haven't gone to bed yet!

NatureNut said...

Guess it's mostly goodnight by now to everyone. Had to work on 'puter in Word making cardsttock backings w/labels, etc. for photos and articles from classmates for bulletin board. Just printed the last ones!!!During a break had a couple crabs, but that's not enough!!!!
Paula's headed for the beach---is this reunion spot? Ours is picnic in the school cafeteria!☺
Where's Sharon? We are probably the only ones who didn't make the beach yet!!When do you want to go??

hedgie said...

Yes, Deb, we are all so lucky to have each other! We are all blessed.
Lolly, hope you get to fill up while that lasts!!

Lolly said...

Yes, it is scary, isn't it? I was surprised when I read the paper. His name jumped out at me. But, I always did think he was weird. I think he was very intelligent, but slightly off. Anyway, I have a mass murderer's autograph. Whoopee! NOT!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Loretta, I am ready whenever you are! I am really needing that in my life!

Lolly said...

Just filled up today, paid 2.21.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Gas is 2.27 here.

Mits said...

well don't know what the size of the waves were, but they looked like they were coming to get me...one of the few times I have ever seen them pull the lifeguards off the beach....and waves were to rough and breaking to close to shore for surfers....but then again out surfers here do not seem to be the reckless type...

Mits said...

good night everyone.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hey Mits, where have you been?

Lolly said...

Raining here, so far 1/2 inch. 70% chance tomorrow, 100% chance Saturday. AND, some of it is headed to central Texas. That is just too wonderful!!!

hedgie said...

Heading for the tub, gang. Don't forget to send Suz her email birthday greetings tonight or early AM---she can't read the blog, leaves work at noon and doesn't have a puter at home, but opens her email at work!
Prayers for all. Solemn remembrances tomorrow. It will be an emotional day.
Love you all.

Mema Jo said...

I have an almost empty tank and so I wish the gas war would come to MD...

Deb - you are special and it is very rewarding to have you for my friend!

Mema Jo said...

Paula I didn't know about BOT.....

magpie said...

Nice words to end the evening, Deb - be sure to send us the link to the article when it prints!

Steelers game is tied up 10-10 - two minutes left, bet Ed and Dana are having a Blast!

Insects and Deer on Feather link, wildflowers up on Wildflowers.
From my Labors on Labor Day ☺

Good Night everyone...
Prayers for a Safe Tomorrow....
With Love, Magpie xox ♥

hedgie said...

P.S. Loretta, when is your reunion?
And I haven't been to the beach yet, either---2 yrs. running!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Bedford Web Cam

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

A new cam to watch!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, so who has gone and who hasn't??

Lolly said...

Think is is time for me to turn in as well. Going to Denton in the morning. Grandmommys and Grandaddys are being treated at Jacob's school. Then we head to Joseph's school for lunch. Whoopee! But, then coming home as Jack has a teleconference. Earning a few $$$.

Nite all!
Sweet dreams!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Deb, it's the friends on here that make all the difference in the world! Sounds like a great evening.

And yes, Lowreeda, the reunion is at the beach! Leaving here in the morning, dropping dogs off with my brother at Moms...then doing a quick Home Depot run for supplies...then headed to the beach.

Don't think I'll be on here in the morning, so I will wish everyone a great TGIF and a wonderful weekend and Monday!

Hugs to all ♥

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Have a blast PAULA!! You deserve it!

Lolly said...

So, Sharon, what is with the tiny url???? 31???

NatureNut said...

Lynn, mine is next Sat., the 19th.
I'm ready to do ojne real FUN thing!!I volunteered to make a 3'x8' banner and picked up the cut vinyl for text today!!!!Great guy that owns a sign shop did it and was so reasonable I couldn't believe it!!!!
Well, we've got to organize a beach trip!We used to go every year in May for car meet,but F got tired of the jam trying to get out of inlet parking lot. I DO NOT have to have a reason to go.
Hadn't heard yet about Chrissy's outside vandals again---just terrible. She spent yesterday writing a poem about our dear little feathered friend and posted it today on LDK Forum.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, I copied the wrong url.

Let me try this again.

Bedford Web Cam

Lolly said...

That's funny! I could not figure it out. So, when are you going to go out there and wave to us?

Lolly said...

Okay, I said good night...I am really going to go. Thanks for my smile, Train, whoops, I mean Sharon.

Sweet dreams for all!

NatureNut said...

OK Paula, be watching the Boardwalk cams!!!!Have FUN!!!!

Deb, that was a wonderful comment and it's so true and you are one of the best in the group! ☺

Sharon, I'm still here, but gotta get something to drink and dessert---key lime pie!!!BBL maybe

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I could do that over the weekend for sure! I will call somebody to alert you when I am there.

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - did you notice that Anne Marie said her gd Diana like Train?

magpie said...

Yes, Paula....Best Wishes...

Sharon: You are making a comback comeback comeback record!
Got me and Ceil beat !

Overtime for the Steelers Game....

Good Night from me, though.

God Bless Us, Every One

paula eagleholic said...

Nite, all!

Mema Jo said...

magpie said...

I hardly ever watch football, but had to keep up with the Meyerses...

It's almost tomorrow....I'm disappearing while it is still Thursday...

Tough question, Jo.....☺

Mema Jo said...

ps... wish you had your sound Margy
it's a great song....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And I still am here. Yes, I did see that Anne-Marie's GD likes Train. Of course she does, they are great!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Over 100 comments in 2 hours and there are not even any eagles around! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Really going this time.

Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feather and fur!

PA Nana said...

WooHoo!! Hey Dana, they won in O/T. What a game!!!!
Pittsburgh 13 - Tenn Titans 10


Now I have to settle down before I can sleep. Hubby did good, only spoke to me once during the game and stole the remote during a commercial while I was away from my chair. Troy Palomalo was injured and the Steelers need him, this is only the first game of the season. Boo Hoo ...

Thanks to everyone for their encouraging words for 20 month old grandson, Max. I guess we're too impatient. You should hear him give us h@#l. We don't understand him but the look on his face makes us laugh and he gets mad. Poor kid we really shouldn't do that but it is so funny. We don't mean to be cruel, really, we love him dearly.

You're probably right. When he starts talking we won't be able to shut him up. Just wish he lived closer to us. They're in VA and we're in PA. The 6 hour drive is tortuous on me. Besides I sleep in a recliner for about 6 years now. I'm a mess physically.

Have a blessed, restful night and I'll catch up with you tomorrow. Prayers for those in need/want.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

PA Nana, where in Virginia?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yes, I am still up but getting ready to go now. Been talking to Jon on Facebook. He is going to Italy on the 29th of this month. He won some kind of contest online and will be performing some music on an organ. Pretty excited about that!

Costume Lady said...

wish you well and so I take my leave,
I Pray you know me when we meet again!

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

NatureNut said...

Nite, nite!
Pleasant Feather Dreams

Judie said...

Just my luck! I got on the wrong train tonight and ended up in somplace called Sleepy Town. Had to turn around and come back home to Blogville. Now I find out that everyone has been talking while I was gone.

Paula, enjoy the beach. Lolly, you make my case for class -- you can't tell a killer by his algebra lessons.

Glad the night light was on when I got back. Turning my light off now.

Good dreams!

stronghunter said...

Good morning! You all had lots to say after I went to sleep last night. I can't get through it all this morning, so I will just say hello to everyone and I hope you have a good day.

It is a day to count our blessings and hope for the best at this dawn of 9/11/09. Take care. Remember those who went before us and thos who protect us.

stronghunter said...

. . . those who protect us.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning eagle and panda and various other wildlife friends!

I was just thinking about 9/11/2001 and what a day that was. Everything was just surreal. In the middle of all the tragedy, it felt like our country had never been more united. We went to the First Church of the Nazarene that night and prayed with Mommy and it was such a special time. Never would have thought such a thing would happen to us.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

EAGLE ALERT!!

Mits said...

Good Friday a.m. everyone

Mits said...

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning Mits!! Ditto! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I have the cutest little girl getting ready to go to school this morning!!

Mits said...

Braveheart still at BWO...cloudy day at Finney's nest, Finland nest still down...groundhog and bluejays at PA PIX

Friday's Landing Strategy
Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:14:02 AM UTC-0100


Capcom Eric Boe informed the crew that if weather looks unfavorable for Friday’s first Kennedy Space Center landing opportunity, the entry team will focus early on the 2nd landing opportunity. If weather prevents landing on the 2nd Kennedy opportunity, Boe said the shuttle will land Friday at Edwards Air Force Base.

Mits said...

from the Bonaires site, new dolphin cam, and some neat fish too

Dolphin Cam

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Not only should we remember the ones that lost their lives that day, but also the ones who survived that day but whose lives were changed forever!!! Such an emotional day!

Mits said...

morning Sharon, I saw your question after I left last night.....I was watching some new episodes of shows on HGTV....and the time just flew by, came back and had to read all the comments, and then went to bed..

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I love the dolphin cam Mits!

magpie said...

Good Morning on this, one of the most memorable and solemn days in our Nation's history. May we all join our prayers with love and gratitude for all those so profoundly affected by the events of September 11, 2001...
and for all our Leaders and Military personnel around the world, our Police, Fire, and EMS personnel, and all those committed to our freedom and protection, and each and every one of us.
May we always strive to stand up for what is right and good.
God Bless America...
xo ♥

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I love you magpie!!!

magpie said...

And right back to you, Sissy! ... and everyone on here ! ♥

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I think I am going to stretch back out for a little bit. I was up way too late last night!

normabyrd said...

SISSY & MARGY---I love both of you----You all are so young---but certainly have a cool outlook on life------

normabyrd said...

Thanks MITS for reminder of the DOLPHIN sight!---I truly enjoy it!!

magpie said...

Megan put up some great pictures of our Eagles in the nest on September 9, morning visit, Jo got a great capture from last night's visit, and I got one from this morning...

Hi Norma....Mits....Sharon....Sissy.....Shirley who is probably at school...and everyone to follow...

magpie said...

Norma...
I ain't exactly a Spring Chicken, was born in 1951 - but I feel young when you talk like that! ☺

normabyrd said...

CONGRATS!!! DANA & ED & ALL YOU STEELER FANS!!!---Bet you all haven' quit smiling---even in your sleep!-----ho!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Had the weirdest thing happen last night! Had typed up a comment, and when I tried to publish it, all of a sudden, poof! My comment apparently got lost in space, and the blog disappeared, and I got a message saying the website could not be displayed! Tried for quite a while, but the blog, the MyOutdoorTV.com website, AND the still cam website all said they could not be displayed! Finally gave up until now. Not sure whether it was a Time Warner problem like Jim was having, or what. Glad I can get back here today!

magpie said...

The "Images from the Season" on the Finney Land Nest (clickable link to the left side of the nest view) are really amazing, includes Raven, Sea Eagle, a beautiful white gull of some sort, and of course, the beautiful Osprey family.

I need to disappear for a little while, got some things to take are of.

Best wishes, for a Beautiful Day, Inside and Out... xo ♥

normabyrd said...

WHOA! SISSY---some day you will look back & think---I was young!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

The comment I tried to publish last night was for Margy. The thistle in my avatar is in the Scottish Highlands, in the Strathmashie Forest. Just a gorgeous place! Wanna go back there; didn't get to spend enough time looking around. Could hear all kinds of birds in the trees, but couldn't see them. They hid well!

normabyrd said...

LORETTA---I loved your remark the other day----you told PAULA--she gets to go to BEACH for her Reunion---& you have yours in the lunch room!----sounds like my reunions!!!!! ho!

magpie said...

I came back...glad I did, see your comment, Andrea. If you go back, you must hook up with our Chrissy!

Cyberspace, does weird things with our computers from time to time, glad you made it through and hope you can stay on..

TTFN, now for real...xo ☺

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' SHIRLEY---I am guessing you have arrived at school by now!
REMEMBER it's TGIF Day!---I haven't told you how much I like the fabric for your new furniture!!
I am so far behind---but feeling better too!----

normabyrd said...

HEY ANDREA!---Glad you found your way back!!---some times I stay lost---it seems!!

normabyrd said...

Just viewed DIEGO'S 2nd exam!!---He certainly has a huge FAN CLUB!------As SISSY is always saying---'would love to hold him---just once'----

Ms Bookworm said...

Margy, I looked at the 'Images of the Season' pictures at Finney--they are really good ones....We'd like to try to go back to Scotland next September, but would not be able to go to England too. Trip depends on if we can get sister-in-law & brother-in-law's time share in Scotland to stay at. Can't afford to see England too, time-wise. Would have to get an OK from school to get time off. Would really like to meet Chrissy, though. Must pray for a solution.

normabyrd said...

WOW!--DANA! I just read your STEELER game went in to OVERTIME!
You folks may not wake up till NOON! ho!

Ms Bookworm said...

Sissy, Shirley, Sharon & Margy,
Amen to your comments regarding
9/11/01. We have much to be thankful for, and much to remember. Need to count all our blessings, and pray for our leaders. Hope we can keep our sense of unity that we had after that horrible tragedy.

deb said...

Good morning everyone! Cloudy and cool here today.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING DEB!---It's a bit cloudy here too!---temp is 57°--but----we didn't get any RAIN!!--TGIF!

deb said...

I put some hummer pictures up that I got yesterday at the campground at Lake Yankton.

deb said...

Oops, they are on Deb's Photos.

deb said...

I had zuchini pie last night, if I hadn't been told that, I would have thought I was eating apple pie.

magpie said...

Good to see you here this morning, Deb
the hummer photos are wonderful.

Do you think you could get that recipe for Zucchini Pie? Nothing like dessert for dinner in my opinion ☺

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone!

Just getting started because the "train" got me home so late I was exhausted.

Doing laundry and remember 9/11/01. Was at school and no one knew what to do about classes. One student asked to leave because she couldn't contact her mom at the Pentagon but she turned out to be safe. Was really unnerving -- no phones worked, metro trains were stopped, etc. Had one professor who saw the plane hit the pentagon and she disappeared two days later because she couldn't live in D.C. anymore. Much to remember and much more to be grateful for.

Back to laundry.

deb said...

I will get it, Margy, but it will take a while. I think the lady that made it will be gone for a week.

deb said...

Margy, it is a young male Ruby-throated Hummer. That is the only kind we get here.

magpie said...

Okay thanks, Deb -
I would never have known it was a ruby-throated...and just kinda kidding about the recipe...not to worry, you have enough going on without taking care of my food needs ☺

Judie - special thoughts today for you, and anyone more closely related to the happenings than I was here in the Eastern Panhandle of WV...

magpie said...

I have a feeling we are all re-winding the events of that day and the days that followed; where we were, who we were with...and as someone mentioned earlier, how it truly changed our lives in ways we are still discovering

xo

normabyrd said...

WV BIRDER---SCOTT SHALLAWAY SAYS---WV HUMMERS are probably RED THROATED HUMMERS!!

magpie said...

Once in awhile a Rufous Hummingbird might pass through on a migratory route, but I sure have never seen one....friend in NY along Lake Erie has.

Love Scott Shalaway's articles in our local rag, Norma! Every Sunday, I save them all!

I need to disappear for some quiet time, back in a little while...xoxo

hedgie said...

Good somber morning.
Not much going on here...a few sprinkles, a bit breezy, but not darkly gloomy.
Norma, still no text to Nancy's obit on funeral home website, and nothing in papers. Will continue to watch for something.
Judie, my BFF worked DOD in Rosslyn and had a daily AM meeting at the Pentagon....tried for hours and hours to reach her on her cell.....it was late evening before she finally let me know she was home safe and sound....had been on her way to Pentagon but hadn't gotten there yet.

hedgie said...

Deb, hummer pics are great!
Has anyone ever tried Mock Apple Pie using Ritz crackers? I haven't, but people swear you can't tell there's no apples!
Still need to look at your new photos, Margy.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING..
Lynn, GeeGee used to make those when I was a teenager and they were very good! Worth a try.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Here is my rewind of 9/11/2001 - I was working at HealthSouth. Mommy called a little before 9 saying that a plane had hit one of the Towers. My first thought was that somebody had flipped out with Air Traffic Control. When I was talking to her, the other tower got hit. I knew then it probably was not air traffic control. Went into the waiting room for physical therapy and we were all just standing around watching television, just in total shock. Then somebody said a plane had crashed into the Pentagon and a plane crashed in Pennsylvania. The fear I had overtake me at that moment was huge! Not knowing what was still to come, not knowing what damage had already been done.

Alan Jackson wrote the perfect song, in my opinion, to say how most of us were feeling that day.

hedgie said...

Margy, great shots....loved the contrasting butterfly colors on the blossoms. Sure glad you are enjoying your new camera!

Costume Lady said...

I was at work, too, Sharon. We had security guards on the roof with binocs watching the skies, and they had locked down the building.......later learned that GM had issued the orders at all plants. I had a "hidden" TV in a storage room----luckily doorway was right next to my computer, so was able to watch or listen all day.......in between hugging a lot of patients as we all reached out in fear for comfort.

GOOD MORNIN' WANDA!---Pray GENE is feeling better!!

Costume Lady said...

Good morning, Norma...yes, Gene is better this morning. He is going to try to venture out today! Hooray!

Costume Lady said...

Of all the tributes written about 9-11, my favorite is MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL. I would imagine all of us have read it, but if you would like to read it again, I have posted it on my blog WANDA'S WISHES. It is beautiful!

Norma, do you know if Wilton is a relative?

Good Morning Jim...question for you: What is the price of gas out your way? Here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown, it is $2.55.

hedgie said...

Wanda, how many people bit into one of those donuts???? Might try the mock pie someday.

movin said...


I'll take a look, Wanda. I looked yesterday and I think it was closer to $3, even at the cut rate places.

Suz is leaving work a bit early. Says the office is a ghost town---apparently most went to the Pentagon for services.

MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!---What is happening with you?---I have been getting some COOL looks at DIEGO!!---Reminds me of TAI!---I'll always LOVE HIM!!---can never forget when he was up in the tree & couldn't get him down---aaaah!

movin said...



There's one station about 20 miles away that has $2.89/gal. There are several Costcos (do you have Costco back there?) that have regular for $2.93/gal. Then it goes up, up, until you get to a tourist trap station where it is $3.47/gal.

hedgie said...

Hi, Jim! We have a Costco in Winchester---about 20 miles south of Martinsburg.

movin said...

Hi, Norma. I noticed that Bai Yun has begun leaving the boy baby alone more often and for longer periods while she feeds.

The officials there have already done a second exam, and since they are off camera now, I think they might be doing another exam...or perhaps they are cleaning the den out this morning.

normabyrd said...

YEAH JIM!--I looked at his 2nd exam---but yesterday---SISSY posted DIEGO was alone---I SAW HIM GRUNT & GROAN & finally turned over!--AWESOME!

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE--- I don't know--but will try to find out!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Boy, Wanda,
Wish we had your gas prices out here! Jim's pretty accurate; best price really close to me is $2.93.
Have seen a $3.17 price too, and everything in between.

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, gotta go study for a bit. Seems I do best if I study for an hour or so, then take a break, then study... BBIALW!

magpie said...

I feel that September 11 should be a National Holiday...can't very well have a holiday on the birthdays of all those that died, as we do for other prominent Americans...but we can certainly commemorate the day they did die...
and they are certainly prominent Americans.

I know this is not a new idea.

Here's hoping that the rest of the day has some good things in your INBOXES...Me? I am getting rather attached to the routine of picking up James after school when I can, so that is what is in MY inbox today.
So Happy to hear the Captain is ready to be out and about! ☺ ♥

I will miss all the possible landings of the shuttles, so I ask our "Shuttle Queens" Lynn and Helen to watch for me. Prayers for a Safe Landing, whether Florida or California.

God Bless You All, my dear friends, and Be of Good Cheer.
xoxo ♥

Good Afternoon All in Eagleland

Haven't caught up on todays comments. I'm blaming any mispelling on that I have to wear these dang sunglasses over my regular glasses. Been getting bad headaches.

Before this I don't know what caused all the mispellings lol

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo don't give secrets away. Click on my name no email.

Mema Jo said...

Good Afternoon All I'm slow moving today - don't think the sunshine will appear. Thanks Mits for the shuttle update and the dolphin cam! That is awesome.
I still need to read today's comments from all of you and see what is going on. Sharon you were one of the last ones up last night and Shirley you skipped off to bed unnoticed. We all do pretty well keeping track of one another. Hurray for Capt Gene being up and about for a while today! Is he using the Eagle Cane?

Costume Lady said...

Don't know what is causing it, Dana...It's been going around like an epidemic on here;)LOL

Costume Lady said...

NOT MY EAGLE CANE!! He can get his own! He's using one that was in with my Antique & Collectible stuff.

Mema Jo said...

Dana, I know that you and some others do not show an email..... I guess I could edit mine and delete it from showing - I'll try it. I really don't think it's a secret.. I hope not.. I don't like to break secrets.. Paula said it is when you put it in a comment that you can run into trouble.

Anyway - I got your # Dana...
