Hi everyone. Thank you Steve and have a pleasant evening.

Judie

floralgirl said...

Cool! Thanks, Steve:)
Margy, September moon is the harvest moon:)
Just realized in December we will have a blue moon- two full moons in one month.
Busy watering, booking field trips, and gearing up for a wedding on Saturday.

Costume Lady said...

Megan, do you make arrangements for weddings or are you attending a wedding? If you are doing the arrangements...would you take photos and share with us?

Costume Lady said...

Hmmm, I wonder if I dare ask for admittance to NCTC to watch Nu or ? climb the tree. Please STEVE..REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEST AND USE WINDEX ON THE SMUDGE ON THE CAM:)

Costume Lady said...

I have a question: Do the pink flamingo yard ornaments have some sort of significance? I am seeing them more and more throughout Martinsburg. They used to be considered TRAILER TRASH, but they are appearing on the lawns of some well-to-do families?? Anyone know?

hedgie said...

Judie, I can see it now! Mutt and Jeff!! He must think you're real special...just as we do!

hedgie said...

Sharon, think my computer eyes were too tired--I must have read Charlotte as October....duh!!!!
Conrats....you will make the year mark for sure....and then go on forever!!

Costume Lady said...

Judie, I had to chuckle at the thought of you hugging a 7ft ball player...my Dustin is now 6'3" and has to bend down to hug me, so I can imagine the difficulty in hugging a 7 footer:):)

Jo, our tomatoes are very scarce this year. Probably because they don't like me tending to them instead of Gene. We have had enough for our use, but not enough for sharing or canning. Our garden is just too shady. Need to cut a lot of trees down. We have evergreens all around the house and their needles are EVERYWHERE!
When we sit on the deck to eat, needles get in our fool and drinks. They get tracked into the house even though we wipe our feet and take our shoes off.
The price that is charged for cutting down a tree is WAAAY TOO MUCH. $600 just to fall it. We probably have 10 trees that need to come down. Can't handle those prices.

Costume Lady said...

My Denise is 2 years smoke-free and is now battling Thyroid--Hashimotos(sp)disease. Never had a thyroid problem til she quit smoking....connection???

Costume Lady said...

HELLOOOO...I guess everyone is out to supper. Oh well.

Mema Jo said...

WOO HOO ! Thanks for the fresh pm thread and especially thank you for alerting us to the Cam Maintenance. Be sure to take the WINDEX
up to clean the smudge on the lens! Thanks again

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - I hope there isn't a connection with her stopping the smoking and then discovering the thyroid condition.
I was surprised when pulmonary Dr told me last visit that my CT looked better then the previous CT. I always hold my breath until he views the film - I'm like a kid waiting for a test score!

hedgie said...

Wanda, get a tree estiamte from Paul Rankin. He's much more reasonable!!! You can use my name!

Mema Jo said...

I know it is September now But it really isn't autumn yet. The evening is so cool and great for sitting out on the deck ! Need to make a cup of coffee and go do that.

Harvest Moon in September and

Autumn Leaves

hedgie said...

Paul, Jr. 754-9590

Mema Jo said...

I hope that link works - it just might start and stop like some of them do.........

Mema Jo said...

Diego is all alone & moving around somewhat.

hedgie said...

Dualing Leaves, Jo.....very nice, but I think this one is so plaintive and emotional! Always one of my fav singers!

Autumn Leaves, too

hedgie said...

It did stop, Mema and mine does , too! Darn it!

floralgirl said...

Wanda, I'm providing the flowers for the wedding, and yes, I hope to have pictures to share:)

Mits said...

hello and good night....had a great day. ttut...prayers for all.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, thanks for Paul's number. I will ask Gene to give him a call. I am at my witts end with these pine (hemlock) needles.

Jo, do you think I will be able to gain entrance at the gate tomorrow or should I stay away?

Megan, anxious to see the photos. I love wedding flowers:)

hedgie said...

G'nite, Mits, Ceil, Mary Margaret and Jim!!! Bet the sea air will make for really good sleeping!!!

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Helen, Jim & Ceil and MM:)

deb said...

Hi, everyone. I have been home today, migraine and the after effects. I am feeling good now though.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Evening everyone.

Haven't been in all day. Doing too many other things, then the great grocery run...yuck.

Need to catch up on comments.

Mema Jo said...

Oh yes, Lynn that version of Autumn Leaves is much much better. At the time I could only find piano solos!

Wanda GO FOR IT
If I were free in the morning I would go with you!

Good night OC crew ! Beautiful moon reflecting on the ocean, I bet!

Mema Jo said...

Deb - good evening. I was thinking you were at work and that you would get a supper hour. Sure hope the headache
is completely gone!

Love all your new pics!

deb said...

Yes, Jo, it is all gone. Just feel a little drained yet.


Glad you liked the pictures.

floralgirl said...

HEY WANDA! Are you gonna cut down evergreens? Is one a hemlock? Evergreens make mighty good wreaths...

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - I have been able to play without any interruptions the 2 Autumn Leaves songs..

hedgie said...

Wanda, GO FOR IT!!! The worst that can happen is they tell you No.....don't forget the camera!!!! Say Hi to Nu!

hedgie said...

You're lucky, Jo...tried both agqain w/ same result!
Poor Deb....sorry you had a miserable day. Hope you're 100% by morning. Gotta check your pics.

Costume Lady said...

Megan, they are all hemlocks...I will let you know if and when we cut them down. You can have ALL that you want:)

Judie said...

Pink Flamingo yard ornaments -- our neighbors tried that some years ago and were told it is considered inappropriate -- just because people have money it doesn't mean they have good taste.

Yep, basketball players are big fans of mine because I go to their home games and cheer them on with great vigor.

No tomatoes or other veggies this year, no canning for winter, critters ate up everything. No illegal in VA to feed deer because of over population.

Needles in your food and drinks -- try serving G&Ts and you won't care.

No clue about thyroid and quittng smoking. Maybe Lynn will know something.

Jo, again so happy your CT report was improvement. I know that is a great relief.

Megan, looking forward to pictures of the wedding flowers.

Deb, hope the head is feeling better now.

Wanda, be sure to let us know if you get near the nest.

Dana, hi to you and Ed. How's he doing these days?

Well, fading fast. Too much excitement after a hug from the basketball player. By the way, one of my former students is now pro with the Dallas Mavericks.

Will check back to turn on the night light.

Judie

floralgirl said...

OOh... Wanda, I really would want the branches, but not anytime soon, so unless you're gonna wait until the 2nd week in Nov. I couldn't use them... but I would love to have hemlock to work with, so let me know if you decide to wait.

Costume Lady said...

OK...It's a GO for tomorrow morning! I have a dentist appointment at 2pm, but I should be able to go both places.
Does anyone else have to pay $110 for a cleaning? Seems like an awful lot for a 15 minute job. That's $440 and hour!

Mema Jo said...

I know of nothing worthwhile watching on TV this evening. I best pick up a good book!

hedgie said...

Nice, Deb.....very nice! Janie looks very tired....hope she gets to rest up and recoup....how are her injuries?

Mema Jo said...

Well Wanda - You could have Megan trim out all the lower branches for you!

I'll let you know in Oct what my cleaning bill is.... or I think hubby is going mid Sept. That is really high! But then look what they charge for root canals and crowns..

Costume Lady said...

Megan, if you saw my video of me freeing WANDAGENE, the butterfly, those are the hemlocks that I am talking about. Yes, I would have to wait til after Halloween to have the money to cut them down.
Check out the video and see if the trees are what you can use. On Just For Fun, I think.

Mema Jo said...

Megan - had to look up Blue Moon....
every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon.

Mema Jo said...

That's another good song, Lynn!!!

Costume Lady said...

Video is on JUST FOR FUN...scroll way down to older posts.
Big Brothers is on...

floralgirl said...

Oh yes, Wanda, I could definitely use that hemlock. We will start gathering greens around the 10th of November. And I would pay you back with a gorgeous wreath for your door.

Lolly said...

Well, I have survived. Gina and Gus just left. She stayed, did not get Gus and leave, so we invited her to eat. Wish I could have taken a picture of Gina for you all to see. She is tall and weighs 105. It is horrible. I do feel sorry for her but there is nothing I can do for her, but care for Gus occasionally. It is all just an ugly mess. Ok, enough of that. Going to put it out of my mind.

Going to have the carpet cleaned tomorrow. Yea! But, other than that nothing planned. I will probably dig in the dirt. Good for the soul!! LOL

Costume Lady said...

Sounds like a plan to me, Megan!

Lolly said...

It will be grand to have the cam cleaned tomorrow. If I lived close, I would go with you Wanda. Tell them you are the official photograper there to document the cam cleaning.

floralgirl said...

OOOh... it's like Christmas in September... hemlock is so nice in a wreath. I don't have any on my property, so it would be great to have some. Thanks, Wanda:)

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, how cool! Thanks so much for the heads up Steve. I'll do my best to tape some of it.

deb said...

I have been chatting with my cousin on facebook. She is struggling so over the loss of her son. I am glad I can listen and maybe help in a little way.

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn sounds like the wren told you off.
Sorry for the lost of a neighbor.

Margy hugs to you for trying so hard
to make your brothers birthday so nice.
Sorry about your family friend. You are
so right he was so very very accomplished
person.
You send things that are so appreciated.
Yet it seems you should be the one
receiving (((((((((many many big hugs))))))))

Lolly kids always remember who was nice
to them as they grow older.

Sharon I know you can make that a year of not smoking ( :

Still trying to catch up.

paula eagleholic said...

Deb - glad you are feeling better. I have to check out your pics. I'm sure it's very hard for your cousin. Listening sometimes is the most we can do.

Dana - hope Ed is feeling OK and your eye is improving.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly - just focus on the fun you have with little Gus.

deb said...

Thats what I think too, Paula. They just need to not keep everything inside. They are pulling together as a family, I am so glad to see that. Tragedy sometimes does the opposite.

Lolly said...

I try, Paula. Gina cried and she wanted to talk about her situation, but I certainly did not encourage it. I said nothing, asked no questions, and would direct the conversation to something else. I just can not get involved!

Lolly said...

Deb, sorry about the migraine today. Michael used to have them while in college. Still gets them, but definitely not as often. He used to give himself shots. Not sure what med he has now. Laurel had her first and only one recently. Sure hope it does not happen again. She said she can now sympathize with her brother.

deb said...

That is a tough situation, Lolly. I think you are doing fine with giving all you attention to Gus!

deb said...

I keep hitting enter and wonder why my comments don't post, duh.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, I understand that, Lolly. Is she having trouble with the joint custody?

deb said...

I used to get them a lot, but not much anymore. When they start in the night is when I get in trouble. If I catch it before it gets ahold, I can control them.

Lolly said...

Laurel had hers at night. Was up throwing up.

paula eagleholic said...

My son has trouble with them from time to time...he has to take something as soon as they start...and if they get too bad, he just has to go to sleep. He at least can take ibuprofen or aspirin...not on anything stronger.

Lolly said...

Paula, she is dealing with the joint custody, but certainly does not like going for seven days without even talking to him on the phone, She is getting no support, no child support. She has some money in the bank but no income. She can not go on disability as she is still married. She said, so I guess eventually Gus will visit me under a bridge. It is a hopeless situation.

NatureNut said...

Evening Everyone! Really pooped for no real reason----maybe being on 'puter most of the day! Tomorrow I get to go to the "arts & crafts" job!
Wanda, you def should go to tree and take pics. If the camera is off, we won't be able to see Nu!!!! ☺
Had a thought---for Oct. Open House---if we do dinner and if we post pics of the MIA's, we should ask Chrissy among others for a pic-also Geula--think they are the furthest away.
Learned a new Park osprey fact today from Greg---was a 60% loss in prospective osprey chicks there this year. Some reasons---eggs did not hatch(cool weather may have been a factor), mortality, predation.These are just the nests he monitors. But when you think this is even before migration, that's pretty low.

Lolly said...

Oh, Loretta! I enjoyed so very much sitting and visiting with you last year! I will certainly miss that his year. I do hope you can get Chrissy and Guela to joing Deb and myself in bottles. LOL

Lolly said...

And I want a fine wine bottle...forget the beer bottle!

hedgie said...

Lolly, you sweet thang....hope you fed Gina something high in calories!
Wanda, better take a bullhorn with you tomorrow to holler at Nu about the lens cleaning!!
Guess Deb is okay w/ Facebook but I haven't been able to get on it all day....don't know what is going on.

paula eagleholic said...

I would think each parent would be allowed to talk on the phone with Gus when he is with the other parent. Maybe they could discuss that? Or is that hopeless, too. It seems like they should be thinking about Gus.

paula eagleholic said...

Actually sounds like she should get a job, even something part time.

deb said...

They way my year has gone, stick me in a Margarita glass!!

paula eagleholic said...

It is really cooling down here, will be a nice night for sleeping with the windows open.

deb said...

I agree with Paula, can you imagine how confused Gus must be?/

Night everyone, going to read for awhile.

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, wine and margarita's are noted :)

PA Nana said...

Good evening everyone. Blessings around.

Brrr ... it was really cold this am. Don't know the actual temp but sure it was in the low 50s. It was a beautiful day, though, and hubby was able to get some outside painting done.

Is Finney site offline? I wasn't able to get on tonight. The water site is still on but not sure if it's live. Didn't stay around to find out.

All the talk about autumn leaves and the temps this week make me wonder if I should get out the sweatshirts and flannels? This is my favorite time of year and next month we'll celebrate 45 years ... and we didn't kill each other! We married as youngsters. ;o)

In our local newspaper tonight was a short article about whale watching on video. If anyone is interested the site is
www.whalewatchingtv.com

Going to finish reading the newspapers. I'm still finishing Sunday and Monday. Today's Tuesday, right?

HOpe everyone has a good night and a blessed Wednesday.

hedgie said...

Lolly, if Gina is TRULY disabled by Social Security standards, it doesn't matter if she is married or not.

Lolly said...

Oh, I am so ready to sleep with windows open, but it just has to cool down a wee bit more for that.

Yes, she should work, but physically can not. And, no one is going to hire anybody that looks the way she does. She looks like she is on drugs!

Lolly said...

Well, I know only what she tells me. They are still married, and she has some money that she took from their bank account. Do not know how much. He has a good job and his parents are wealthy. She has no parents to speak of.

hedgie said...

Not very favorable odds, Loretta.
I have Chrissy's photo for her bottle!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

I agree with Hedgie, if she is truly disabled, it doesn't matter if she is married....disability does take awhile to go through, tho.

paula eagleholic said...

Aha, so she is not living with current hubby?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening everybody. Went for my walk and then to the meeting. Had a strange feller following me and turning around and such on the road. Made me nervous but he finally went away.

I will take the Tiramisu again for sure and anybody that wants it eaten in honor of them. That is some good stuff.

Wooohhhhoo about the cam work tomorrow.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And you all have been a chatty crew this evening!

Lolly said...

Well, I want to see a picture of Chrissy!

paula eagleholic said...

Ah, that tiramisu was good, wasn't it.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Me too Lolly but I don't think she has ever sent us one before.

hedgie said...

Hi, Diann. I posted this AM that it was 37 in Bedford, PA!! If this continues, it WILL be time for sweats and flannels, for sure. Love the smells and appearance of fall, but not the coolness and not the work involved with the leaves....argh!

Mema Jo said...

Diann - it is only 5:13 am at Finney
Still on line but was probably dark when you looked.

Mema Jo said...

There was a pic of Chrissy in her Eaglet Momsters' album. Not sure if she took the album off or not. Also had an ablum from Geula.
I'll see what I can find.

Lolly said...

No, Paula, she moved out and took a lot of stuff, ran up charge cards and emptied the back account. He claims he would take her back. He says she needs help, she drank while over dosing on pain medication. Claimed she was an unfit mother as she stayed in bed all day, doped out.

She claims he was abusive.

He is handsome, intelligent, and can talk a smooth talk. First impression of him is very good. However, I do know he has a fighter pilot personality. I do know for a fact that he taught Gus to swim at age two by throwing him in a pool.

Gina on the other hand has a poor back ground, no family to support her, her physical condition is horrible, she looks anorexic, and is on pain meds.

Oh, it is a BIG mess, both claiming the other is lying.

Mema Jo said...

Safe Haven for Donkeys Album - Geula

hedgie said...

Lolly, don't understand why Gina doesn't get some kind of support (legally) from her husband, and then alimony after divorce, if she has no income and he's well-off!

wvgal_dana said...

Lolly the is always the Womens Center in every town. She can go there and they will help her with a lot of things.

Not good for Gus to hear her saying those kind of things.

I know she is hurting in her own way.

A sad situation all around.

hedgie said...

Deb, maybe you should just sleep instead of reading tonight, dear friend.

BTW---Wanda...never heard of any correlation between Hashimoto's and quitting smoking.

Lolly said...

No alimony in Texas!

Lolly said...

Yes, I did not like her crying today. Gus, said "Mommy, don't cry." Poor little guy. I think both are saying things in front of him.

Judie said...

Back to say goodnight to everyone.

Tuckered out from my first day back in the classroom.

Sleep well and pleasant dreams.

Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others.

Judie

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, they are still married to each other! Thought she was married to someone else, and they were still fighting over Gus. Sounds like a mess for sure.

If she doesn't want to go back, then she should get a lawyer and get divorced and ask for alimony. If she doesn't get any, then she'll have to apply for assistance or disability. She needs to make some decisions as to what she wants. Then she can move forward.

hedgie said...

Sharon....sending you an email in a minute.

paula eagleholic said...

OK, so no alimony. Definitely not good to be talking about that stuff or saying bad things about other spouse in front of Gus.

At least my ex and I had the decency not to do that sort of thing.

PA Nana said...

Lolly, your friend can apply for social security disability even if she's not of retirement age. I did. I was able to apply online and then take birth certificate and ss card to the local office. They will do this part by mail and return the certificates, etc. It did take 3 months for me to get the approval and it could take longer. Even being on SS disability you can work at some jobs. There's a schedule of benefit vs. salary at the social security.gov site and it has a lot of info.

Hopefully your friend will apply; she has nothing to lose.

Mema Jo said...

Do not have pic of Chrissy anywhere.
Maybe on Photobucket - not sure.
I'm sure she'll email one to whomever is in charge of the Bottle Buddies!

Lolly said...

Oh, that is funny! I have the PA cam up. Never saw or heard the automatic feed dispenser. Startled me!

NatureNut said...

Oh, Lolly---so sad about that broken family, especially for Gus. You have been so kind to watch him, but you're right in trying not to get involved--only bring you down.
We will miss you and Deb this year, too. It's so great to "know" we have all these friends here, even if we don't get to see everyone. ☺ ☺ ☺
I do recall that when Chrissy got on blog a few times last year, we could click on her name and access pictures she had of her and her home.
I've been checking Fin cams and "Ferry" site is still not working and daylight was just starting at Finneys. MT nest.

Lolly said...

Yes, Paula, it is a huge mess. The lawyer says it is going to take years to settle the divorce. They own a house in Virginia as well as the $400,000. house here.

She is on her second lawyer. The lawyer she had a few weeks ago dumped her. My son says that he problably dumped her for non payment. But, Michael knew her lawyer and did not like him, said he was no good. She now has a new lawyer.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, Lolly, it sounds like you are blessing for little Gus. I hope you can continue to see him...sounds like he needs it!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You know, some people can be so self-centered and self-absorbed that they can't see what they are doing to their children. So sad!

hedgie said...

Goodnight, Judie! sweet dreams....and not of the bb player!!

paula eagleholic said...

I am anxiously awaiting the return of Jay Leno! Can't wait to see his new show! Don't like Conan or Dave at all, I've had to find something else to watch at 11:30.

Lolly said...

Nite, Lynn! Sweet dreams!

Mema Jo said...

Can't find pic of Chrissy
Photobucket has good one of Geula & her pigs.

I know I've seen pic of Chrissy in an album - her cats were in it and I think horses and a grandchild..

I don't think it was on a personal blog Loretta. Just have to email her for one.

hedgie said...

Jo, said earlier that I have a pic of Chrissy!!!

Lolly said...

Whoops! Thought you were leaving Lynn. LOL It was Judie who hit the sack not you.

Nite Judie!

Mema Jo said...

I don't think it is time for LYNN
to go to bed yet, Lolly! lol

Lolly said...

Post a picture of Chrissy, Lynn. I would love to see a picture of her.

Costume Lady said...

Just about a year ago, Chrissy had her photo as her Avatar, for a while. She is attractive. That was when she was an active talker on here:)

Lolly said...

Those raccoons are mean!

wvgal_dana said...

Ed see's Pulmonary doctor tomorrow afternoon. They called and set this date up. In reference to maybe a new medication to slow down the disease in his lungs. We will see tomorrow and I'll let you all know.

Mema Jo said...

I missed your comment Lynn.......
Don't know where I was at 10:03 tonight! Maybe my head was in a bottle!

Lolly said...

I got on here in April of last year. Chrissy was not on often at that time.

Lolly said...

Oh, no, Jo! Your not hitting the bottle, are you?

paula eagleholic said...

I hope they can find something that helps, Dana.

hedgie said...

Don't think Chrissy has any grands, and Matt isn't married yet.

hedgie said...

Ok, will put her pic on my blog. Give me a few...

Lolly said...

Will have to tell Chrissy we were talking about her tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

Hitting the hay, catch ya'll in the am.

Hugs to all ♥

hedgie said...

Okay, pic on my Lair. She said it wasn't very good and that she's heavier than she likes to be, but it was the most recent she had.

NatureNut said...

Time for news, so I will sign off (maybe ☺)
Pleasant Feather Dreams!!! ;>)

Mema Jo said...

Yepper That is Chrissy!


It may have been Doreen from over the pond a few seasons past that had the show horses and also had a granddaughter.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yeah, Doreen was another one that just disappeared from us!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

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

Mema Jo said...

Ok Paula and Loretta..... I'm following

Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs & a prayer for a good report for Ed...
((hugs)) ♥


Keep in touch Wanda if you journey over to the tree. Take your binoculars and cam in case you have to watch from the road........

hedgie said...

Space walk happening right now!

Mema Jo said...

Whoops Sharon! Almost bumped right into you! BTW - you getting packed up? Talk to you tomorrow. loL ♥

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, everyone,

Checking in really quickly to say goodnight. Wanted to finish typing up my Pharmacology notes, but SIL stopped by for a bit, so I'm doing it now.

WANDA, if the smudge on the cam is a dead spider inside the cam housing, they'll need at least a screwdriver to open it up and get it out. THEN they'll need the Windex! (Seems like I remember someone explaining it that way a long time ago.)

Jo and Lynn, thank you for the Autumn Leaves videos--both played just fine for me, with no stops.
Love that song!

Gosh, I really need to read back and catch up, but will have to do it in the morning. Prayers for all of us, and prayers that we all can get a really restful night's sleep tonight. Prayers of thanksgiving too. G'night, and God bless! :o]

wvgal_dana said...

Night everyone
Thinking of all of you
Pleasant dreams and good nights sleep

Prayers for those that need them
Praises for answered prayers

Special one for little Gus.

Lolly said...

Had to leave for a sec. Laurel called.

OMG I have finally met Chrissy! She is not what I had imagined. Isn't that funny! I will have to email her tomorrow.

Lynn, thanks for posting that. Cool!

Just heard on the news...our moon is orange tonight....ash in the air from California.

hedgie said...

Don't remember Doreen!
Well, news almost over and my cursor is doing funny things...logging off beofr esomething bad happens. Peace and prayers for all.

Lolly said...

Road trip needed! We need to schedule a trip across the pond!

Lolly said...

Nite all!

Sweet dreams!

PA Nana said...

Good night all. Can barely keep my eyes open. Still have reading to do but will have to wait until tomorrow.
Prayers for those in need/want.
Peaceful dreams.

It is 45° here and just too cold for September! Not ready for these temps, yet! It is going to be a wonderful 78° later in the day, and that is just about perfect for me:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning Wanda! I agree, don't like these chilly mornings. It just doesn't seem like it should be time for this yet!!

normabyrd said...

Oh, the drivers license thing...it is one of the most fearful and wonderful times in the life of a parent! My Dustin will be driving next year. I don't think he is grown-up enough yet...not very responsible. Of course, a lot can change in a year, but, I still think 18 is a better, safer age for driving. JMHO

Costume Lady said...

Norma, I am certainly going to try to fit a NCTC visit in this morning, if the timing is right. So special to see a MAN standing in our nest! I am going to take a TREE PULLER AND MY WINDEX, just in case the workers forget theirs;)

Costume Lady said...

Going to get dressed and ready to run down the road when the workers show up. BBL

normabyrd said...

I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A MAN IN THE NEST YET!---ho!---later--must get dressed-----

hedgie said...

Morning Momsters and Dadsters. Another chilly one here in the eastern panhandle! 48 when I got up. Had to have a bowl of cream of wheat to warm up, AND turned on electric blanket in the early hours! As Margy says...WOOF!
Norma, Margy is off today (as of 6am), so hoping she is sleeping soundly, as she didn't get much sleep yesterday!
Wanda, have cam up......wonder what they consider mid-morning?!

hedgie said...

Norma, I am so thankful that my oldest gd is not yet interested in driving! She turned 15 in June, so could have gotten her learners', but she isn't bothered, and I am glad! JMHO, but I don't think kids that age are mature enough yet to drive....we were much more mature at that age!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

Hoping to catch the show this morning!

Lynn, thanks for the pic of Chrissy. Very pretty lady!

paula eagleholic said...

And good morning, Norma! You always brighten our day!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagle Morning Sharon, Lynn and Paula.

YES Norma that is the address he has plus he is also at the Medical Campus now. At the Amhert Street Office in with Murphy is also Dr. Childress. He is the one that was covering for Dr. Murphy when Murphy order a CT Scan and Ed had the Blood Clots in Lungs. Dr. Childress called us at home said "Get Back Here Now To Be Hospitalized". He is also a very very nice doctor.

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. I am waiting for the show to start, I wonder what time mid-morning is at NCTC.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Deb, I was just thinking the same exact thing. I think now is mid-morning myself!

deb said...

That's what I think, Sharon, but who knows if they are on government time. maybe the tree truck got delayed, too.

deb said...

Something moved in the tree, right near the trunk

There they come!!

hedgie said...

Norma, Sharon and other big WVU fans.....Rodriquez is also being sued in federal court for failure to repay a multimillion $ loan for a VA condominium project!!!! Pox upon thee, coach!

deb said...

TREE ALERT! I SEE MOVEMENT!

paula eagleholic said...

I thought I saw that too, Deb. A stick or two moved

deb said...

I saw a rope get tossed up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Just saw the rope go across!

paula eagleholic said...

It was the rope! it was just pulled back again

Gabriela said...

Mits said...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

hedgie said...

I don't see anything, Deb!

Gabriela said...

this is exciting? Wonder if the eagles are watching?? Has there been any sightings of Hidey in the vecinity these last few weeks?

hedgie said...

Or hear anything, either....

paula eagleholic said...

Gabriela - we have seen the adults, but no sign of Hidey...

paula eagleholic said...

Tightening up the rope

Gabriela said...

movement again. I guess Hidey has moved on! Hope she's thriving!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I love having a laptop, you can go to the loo and still not miss anything!

deb said...

The sticks move every once in a while, Lynn. They are probably just getting set up.

floralgirl said...
