Not completely caught up on blog. Cannot get BWO - says webpage is not available. Don't know what that's about. May try to in through google.
Back to reality today with school prep.
Again, thanks to everyone for a great weekend. Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed riding in the Eagle Express AND the Eagle Talon. Thanks to Gene and Wanda. Lovely host and hostess.
Thanks for the New Thread Alert, Shirley, and thanks for the Bright Sunny Day New Thread, Steve Bright and Sunny it Is! Especially with the frequent return of the Royal Pair ♥
My students are stapling paper chains . . . aka "spirit links." The usual requests are being made . . . "May I go get another stapler from Mr. So and so? . . . Scotch tape won't work, etc., etc. (Ms. Philllips has taught all these years without learning how to make paper chains????) Bet Judie doesn't get to make paper chains!!
Thanks JUDIE for asking about the LOUD MUSIC at pix cam!----I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!---I have very little confidence when it comes to my computer!!---ho!
Gotta put together an intro to the video for my seniors on baby girls in China.
Just checked with a resource teacher for one of my senior girls. Mom called to request a lighter workload for her daughter because she is spending so much time at her after-school job. I do not think this fits into her IEP. (Individual Education Plan).
Resource teacher said he just wanted me to know what I was dealing with. What would happen if I announced an assignment and excused this girl because she has a job? How many moms would I hear from tomorrow . . . real or fake moms? Sometimes I still get amazed.
For those of you who weren't at the dinner Saturday night, Lynn had a thing made for us that said "I came for the EAGLES but I stayed for the friendships I have made". I so love that and I so feel that!
Ordering your magazine this morning, am going to use first initial only....and last name . I sure like my calendar...and not having to go through the fuss and waiting if I'd had to do it as an individual...thanks again !!
Ceil is going to crack on me for leaving three times ☺
Reminder, Mits: We are ripe for some Baby Ben and M&M Girls stories ☺ Okay bye
Good Morning All! Up/running for visit to Dracula - regularly scheduled. I am still beaming when I think about the weekend.... AWESOME is an incomplete word of description ! Suzanne sent me lots of pics from this morning's visits - Our Royal Couple is certainly busy - bet they felt the Frost coming in!
Spirit Links--It is spirit week at the school--build-up for homecoming game and dance.
Every day is a dress-up day. Students pay 5 cents each for spirit links that we staple or tape together into blue and gold chains and hang in the room. Class with most links wins.
By the end of the week, rooms are decorated with links which are collected and taken to help decorate for the homecoming dance.
I have only 8 students in my homeroom, so we are not likely to win. I started the donations with $5.00 and the kids added their money--about $5.00 more.
If they bring in enough money, we'll be making paper chains all week. I gave them the last part of the block to work on the chain for our class. They still have to do their work.
Speaking of homecoming - Megan told us that Shepherdstown homecoming was this weekend NOT last weekend when we had Open House. They had a football game but not parade & huge crowd. Rain didn't stop the game!
I will have to send you a picture of the handiwork, Judie. Let us work for awhile on the chains and you will understand all that you are missing by not teaching high school!
Jo, I just got back from my visit with DRACULA and FRIENDS...quarterly test. Spirit links sounds like a fun project, Shirley.
Sharon, glad you mentioned who the plates were from (I stayed for the friendships). I thought that was a precious item, but didn't know it was from Lynn. THANK YOU LYNN!
Good morning! Have spent most of my morning reading all the blogs from yesterday and this morning. We do like to gab!!! I did not want to miss out on any comments made about the weekend.
NORMA....I did not know you are filthy rich. Wahoo! I am so excited we have adopted each other. Time to go shopping! lol
SHIRLEY and JUDIE.....I am so happy you two had such a good weekned. Must have been some hug!
WANDA....Your video was great! You go, Girl!
Our day yesterday was great. Thank you for the birthday wishes for Joseph. He had a great day. He loves his new NY Giants bedroom and it does look cute. (YUK!) The guys threw a football outside, we grilled hamburgers, and watched the three boys together. Jacob still thinks of Zach as a baby. Jacob is 17 months older and is taller but Zach weighs more. Anyway, Jacob was telling Zach to eat his brocolli and was feeding him. Laurel got a picture. So funny!
My kindergarten students made paper chains. We did it every Christmas. They sat on the floor in groups of two and glued theirs. Then we would fasten them all together and they were so excited to see the long chains. Then decorated the room.
Got to leave soon. Broke the frames of my glasses while playing with Zach. Do not know what happend but they snagged on something (I was blowing on his tummy!) and one ear piece broke off. Think I need new glasses. Drat!!!
Glue? And my students say they can't use tape! Think how much fun they would have if I let them run about the building gathering staplers! And of course everyone else is using theirs!
Yep. good ol' Elmer's glue. Have to let the chain sit there for a short while, but it works great. The kids loved learning how to make the chains and we did it in pattern!!!!!! Red...Green! lol
Good Day Everyone! We have SUN, too!!!! YAY It was a wonderful Open House!!! Great to see everyone! Got 1/2 pictures done (not on yet)--will try to finish today and blow up E_M albums real fine!!! Also missed seeing the Birds & wish I'd taken a pic of the nest from the Bldg. Entrance even tho no birds there in afternoon.
BTW, noticed there was a Live Feed pic going in the lobby of NCTC bldg. & it had that dreaded orange lettering. Talked to lady about that, but didn't ask about cam.I mentioned Steve & she said it's not him, but someone else in charge of communications.??
I am off to take care of my glasses. Went down and gathered a few pecans. Jack is down there knocking them out of the trees. Have to get them before the squirrels do. They can just eat acorns and everyone else's pecans.
Spirit Week leading up to Homecoming used to be so much fun. Each day was a different theme... like 'Inside Out' or 'Backwards' (clothing items) Mix Match (plaid shirts and striped pants or whatever) Old memories of my own and of the high school where I worked as Secretary (I got to send all those nasty letters home from the principal).
Blood work: I walked in - no one there whatsoever - signed my name - gave some blood and came on home! Some days are better than others! lol
I would have gone into the post office but they close for an hour or two at lunch! Cutting cost I guess. I sometimes wonder how much they are losing due to paying bills on line...
Jo, remember last year....egg cup was so deep we could not see Hidey. We do not want it that deep!
Back from going to see about my glasses. Wahoo! I get whole new frames in two days. Only have to pay the shipping. Wahoo! I thought I was going to be out the whole caboodle!
About 20 penguins at the MD Zoo in Baltimore... I wish I knew what the ducks were - black & white but webbed feet - at first I thought they were a different kind of penguin with a long neck and bill!
Hello! Finally home and settled in from VA visit. Not only lab and Dr., but then SIL wanted to visit his in-patient bro, who was being released while we there. SIL has dropped 22 lbs. in a month---so very proud, and doc was VERY happy! Saw lots of frost while driving....SO glad I have the garage----4 yrs. this month!! And tree canopy kept frost off my surfaces. Did get a peek at our lovely duo this AM!! Sure is a good sign that they are hanging out....was a bit acraid they might decide to relocate!!! Saw my first black-capped chickadees today!! Wonder where they go for the summer? Of course, mentioned previously, titmice and nuthatches have been back for a couple of weeks.
When Suz and I went to the Birds of Prey room Sat., a lady asked me to take a pic of her holding the screech owl---I did, but she hasn't e-mailed me yet so that I can send it to her! Also, the young girl handling the birds knows of my cousin Jeannie who is an archaeologist with the National Park Service (currently at Bankhead National Forest in Alabama)---she has read some of her works, and wondered if she could talk to her; again, gave her my email address to reach me so that I could refer her to Cuz---no word from her yet, either!
Dinner is now finished and all of my errands were run before that. It was a beautiful day - so beautiful that the dang stink bugs started coming out of hiding! Grhhhhhhhhhh! Hate them. Phew!
Guess I best go over to FB and check out the Bluefield wandering crew! BBILW
SISSY IS HOME & has been working for a couple of hours........ I gave her pain for not letting us know that - Duhhhhhhhhhh..... She came home with the Big Bird and NO panda! lol
Loved having you here Sissy & Tom & Mattie!
I loved having Sharon & Thelma here this weekend! Hope you found all the dogs hungry and well when you got home.
Sorry so late!! We got home today around 12:30 and had to take the rental car back, having to work some, put away stuff, you know the drill!! I did post some pics on the Yahoo Momsters site. My wonderful new house mate, George, is doing great! (Sorry Megan). He is so beautiful. He is wearing eagle beads and loves his new home!! We had a blast with ya'll Saturday and then another great time at the zoo and Washington Mall yesterday. Just an all around great weekend. I am so grateful for friends like ya'll! You enrich our lives so much!!!
Been fussing with the bank. I have online banking. Have tried to have an automatic transfer from my checking each month applied to credit card just so I won't have a late payment. I figure I can just go in and pay more when I want to, but absentminded Shirley will not have a late charge.
After trying several times to set it up and having it disappear as if I had done nothing, I went to the bank. Two people at two different branches said they would get back in touch with me and would set it up.
They didn't, so I went to the bank with all my stuff and sat down and told them what I wanted. I thought everything was fine. Nope. Just got a late fee, even though I had a credit of more than the minimum payment because I had returned a defective car battery.
So far, I have talked to three people and they are all working on fixing it. They tell me the late fee is waived. I said I was about to close the account. I think those were the magic words.
The pandas loved me. Tai blew kisses!! ROFLMBO! Seriously, it was amazing getting to stand there and watch them. The whole zoo was wonderful. I am going to a panda for Halloween. Got me a panda mask, figure that, black sweat pants and a white sweat shirt with the sleeves dyed black and such should do the trick!!
I've found credit card companies are pretty good about waiving a late fee when your reason for getting it is a good honest one. It can be so aggravating, all the electronic stuff though....I always wonder how elderly people deal with all this kind of stuff, and I don't mean US, I mean, elderly...
Magpie, we somehow ended up with your umbrella. I swear we didn't steal it on purpose. We didn't even have an umbrella, so I am not sure how it happened, but we have it!!
Newborn crescent moon should be out after sunset Tuesday in the South East...I think...it will be teeny tiny - it's probably lurking out there now on a low horizon somewhere
I promised my daughter I would T R Y to clean off the junk on my hutch... She is coming tomorrow... You all know I am a night owl so I haven't yet started to pitch all that junky clutter. Wish me well!
Sissy, good that you had the umbrella to keep George II dry!!!! Can't wait to see your costume get-up! Yep, Megan, found her name on the website---COOL name!!! I love it! Well, Jo, how 'bout Mema Hi!!! We were all on a natural high this weekend, weren't we?
Headed out to Funeral Home for a visitation, mother of a dear friend died Friday....elderly lady with a lot of health problems...finally, her illnesses are over.
Be back much later. xox Good Evening Wishes, for all.. ♥
I was over in Eaglet Momster Albums Sissy's pics are separated from the original album I will move them over to the original album.... Great pic of GEORGE! and also the TALONS Can't move right now as someone else must be doing something.....
Hubby has walked behind me about 3 different times - you see the china cupboard is right in this room I think I better start making it look like I am working on it. I could just do one big sweep and I'd be finished... Since I haven't looked for anything there in 3 years I just may do that!!!
Hey Lynn- is this accurate -if you take the H1N1FluMist, you will in fact become a carrier of the H1N1 flu. Information on this drug states that you can and will shed the virus for up to 21 days. That means as you are visiting with your elderly family members, or shopping in the isles of your grocery store or sitting in church with young children and people with immune problems, You are going to be shedding the virus H1N1 germs.
There is a guy who lives near here who used to always have chain-saw art on display in his yard---should stop sometime to see if he has any eagles! He had to stop leaving them out because they got stolen---Margy, remember on the left just before the Sleepy Creek bridge as you start heading up towards Spohr's Crossroads?
Happy After Dinner Evening Everyone! Edited all my pics, went to Yahoo E_M album & there isw a size limit per pic, so now I have started to check thyem & most have to be resized!!! AARRGGHH Glad to see Sissy & family are home & there is NOT a black & white addition to the family besides the new eagle member!! Just got a terrific email frrom Greg K. at Park of all people. He never sends mail. Will send it to E_M before distributing all over the world!! BBLW I hope
Hi, Gang, Just want to let you know I'm still around--we're getting ready to go out for pizza for dinner. Went with daughter and sister-in-law to Spa Gregorie's in Newport Beach for a 1 hr. Swedish massage this morning! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh...absolutely heavenly! Feel as relaxed as a huge lump of Jell-O! That place is really luxurious! Went shopping after that, then to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Have been running all day, but having all kinds of fun! Will try to catch up on the blog and say hello later when we get home. Prayers for everyone; sorry, Margy, to hear about your friend's Mom! ((Hugs)) Prayers for her and her family! Oops--gotta go now, or they'll leave without me! Later....
Andy, enjoy the time with your family. The spa treatment must have been sooooooooo relaxing! Enjoy every minute, including pizza.
Well, I am once again getting confused but that's okay. I'm used to it.
Since I'm not sure what exactly is going on, momsters album, where pictures are posted, etc., I'm going to turn my my light off but will leave the night light on for others.
And here is what CDC says: Can people receiving the nasal-spray flu vaccine LAIV pass the vaccine viruses to others? In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts occurred only rarely. The current estimated risk of getting infected with vaccine virus after close contact with a person vaccinated with the nasal-spray flu vaccine is low (0.6%-2.4%). Because the viruses are weakened, infection is unlikely to result in influenza illness symptoms since the vaccine viruses have not been shown change into typical or naturally occurring influenza viruses.
Hi there Lady's. You all are realy in to it. (talking) We got our free flu shoot's today. Not bad. At least I didn't have to run to the VA to get mine.
Hey, Crunch.....wasn't sure if you were talking about a flu shot or one of our famous POOP SHOOTS!!!! Ha,ha!! VA has a really neat drive-thru for flu shots. But didn't need to use it as Son-in-law got his during his regular apptmt. last month!
Hope Doris' hips and legs are feeling better, Crunch! Andy, when you get back from pizza feast....glad that the spa treatment was so wonderful---you sure deserve that kind of pampering after all of your hard work and studying!! How long will the kids be with you??
Okay, is there an easy answer to the shot or mist debate... many pictures on the news show the mist, have a bunch of fire department people getting...something...tomorrow... just wondering. I'm sorry I couldn't really tell from the blog comments.

Whoo hoo...
Hello Mr Sunshine!
My sister Dorset made it home Friday...time to make a Welcome Home Phone Call ☺
Look at that handsome Lib!
My students are stapling paper chains . . . aka "spirit links." The usual requests are being made . . . "May I go get another stapler from Mr. So and so? . . . Scotch tape won't work, etc., etc. (Ms. Philllips has taught all these years without learning how to make paper chains????) Bet Judie doesn't get to make paper chains!!
Belle is back!
Belle would not allow Lib to make paper chains.
Close up of Belle!
Belle does not let Lib do anything:)
Up close now!
Now, Belle lets Lib do a lot, just so she can go behind him and tell him how wrong he is!
WOW!---MARGY!---WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS!!----DORSET is home!!---
Exactly, Sharon!
Looks like they are taking advantage of the weather to get some work done...lot more sticks on the right side of the nest!
Thanks JUDIE for asking about the LOUD MUSIC at pix cam!----I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!---I have very little confidence when it comes to my computer!!---ho!
Eewwiie at BWO
MORNIN' PAULA!!---Great to have you on the blog!---You have been such a busy gal---we have truly missed you!!
Boy, this is nice....
HEY KIDS!---Do you want us to do 'one liners' for any reason?
Lib on the back....Belle facing the cam....guess they are taking a break and just checking things out around the nest.
Belle poofed
I'm glad Paula is here to tell us Who Is Who on that nest...I 've never been good at it
AND EVEN WORSE AT ONE-LINERS NORMA ☺
There is still an M/T nest at the BWO site---But there is lots of frost there too!!!
ME TOO MARGY!---I talk too much anyway---(so I have been told)!!
Lib normally sits at about 1 o'clock on the side of the nest and Belle sits in the middle, that is most of the time.
I figure we are getting the loud music at the Pix Pa cam because they have sold an ad.
Normabyrd, you haven't been told that by us!
M/T NEST!
no!--no!--no! SHARON!!---My kids---are always telling me that I talk to everyone, etc---I tell them we WV FOLKS are friendly!! ho!
Eeewiee at BWO has been transformed into a Lovely Eagle ☺
If I would change my moniker I probably wouldn't talk so much!
WE love your chatter, NormaByrd, and miss it terribly when you are not on here HO-ing.....☺ ♥
That is right. I have even started seeing a few people here that I know when I go out. I used to get told that I have never met a stranger! :)
Gotta put together an intro to the video for my seniors on baby girls in China.
Just checked with a resource teacher for one of my senior girls. Mom called to request a lighter workload for her daughter because she is spending so much time at her after-school job. I do not think this fits into her IEP. (Individual Education Plan).
Resource teacher said he just wanted me to know what I was dealing with. What would happen if I announced an assignment and excused this girl because she has a job? How many moms would I hear from tomorrow . . . real or fake moms? Sometimes I still get amazed.
I might have gone a little overboard, but I put 21 pictures up on the Momsters album...just couldn't stop snapping pictures
Time for more housework
TTFN xo
Lib poofed too
Eagle at BWO
PS Shirley: I hope you tell us more about the Spirit Links...
I don't mind housework, it means I am HOME to do it ☺
LOL, Margy...no such thing as overboard on eagle pics!
For those of you who weren't at the dinner Saturday night, Lynn had a thing made for us that said "I came for the EAGLES but I stayed for the friendships I have made". I so love that and I so feel that!
The music that comes on is really--really LOUD!!---'SCARED ME BAD' that's my youngest gc used to say!!
Thanks Paula.....☺
Ordering your magazine this morning, am going to use first initial only....and last name .
I sure like my calendar...and not having to go through the fuss and waiting if I'd had to do it as an individual...thanks again !!
Ceil is going to crack on me for leaving three times ☺
Reminder, Mits: We are ripe for some Baby Ben and M&M Girls stories ☺
Okay bye
WHOA! WHOA! MARGY!---Never too many EAGLES or EAGLE MOMSTER PHOTOS!!!!----'YOU GO GIRL'
later---have w/out!
Good Morning All! Up/running for visit to Dracula - regularly scheduled.
I am still beaming when I think about the weekend.... AWESOME is an incomplete word of description !
Suzanne sent me lots of pics from this morning's visits - Our Royal Couple is certainly busy - bet they felt the Frost coming in!

bird at BWO on the left hand back corner????
Back,
Did see one eagle this a.m. but m.t now.
Chains? The only chains I like are those that keep the wannabe adults "chained" to their parents and away from me.
Paula, hope things move quickly with the car and mom's house.
Shirley, why are high school students making paper chains?
Got BWO back again.
Speaking of homecoming - Megan told us that Shepherdstown homecoming was this weekend NOT last weekend when we had Open House. They had a football game but not parade & huge crowd. Rain didn't stop the game!
OK Out of here and will touch base upon my return! Going to try to run some errands while I am out after lab work.
BBILW
I will have to send you a picture of the handiwork, Judie. Let us work for awhile on the chains and you will understand all that you are missing by not teaching high school!
Must go do my BDP duty.
Jo, I just got back from my visit with DRACULA and FRIENDS...quarterly test.
Spirit links sounds like a fun project, Shirley.
Sharon, glad you mentioned who the plates were from (I stayed for the friendships). I thought that was a precious item, but didn't know it was from Lynn. THANK YOU LYNN!
I was thinking maybe they put little encouragement messages on the links...kind of naive on my part I guess Shirley...
I take it Jo is going for blood work, had to think about that one for a minute, thought it was a Hallowe'en event.
Was great to see that Suzanne was enjoying the Royal Pair this morning too.
xo
Pays to do "housework." Found
a 103-dollar error in MY favor in the checkbook. ☺
Good morning! Have spent most of my morning reading all the blogs from yesterday and this morning. We do like to gab!!! I did not want to miss out on any comments made about the weekend.
NORMA....I did not know you are filthy rich. Wahoo! I am so excited we have adopted each other. Time to go shopping! lol
SHIRLEY and JUDIE.....I am so happy you two had such a good weekned. Must have been some hug!
WANDA....Your video was great! You go, Girl!
Our day yesterday was great. Thank you for the birthday wishes for Joseph. He had a great day. He loves his new NY Giants bedroom and it does look cute. (YUK!) The guys threw a football outside, we grilled hamburgers, and watched the three boys together. Jacob still thinks of Zach as a baby. Jacob is 17 months older and is taller but Zach weighs more. Anyway, Jacob was telling Zach to eat his brocolli and was feeding him. Laurel got a picture. So funny!
Oh, YOU TOO Wanda?
Same kind of visit, or did you visit the Costume Shop ?
Hi Lolly - sorry I missed out sending Birthday wishes for Joseph, sounds wonderful, as usual...when you have time with the boys.
My kindergarten students made paper chains. We did it every Christmas. They sat on the floor in groups of two and glued theirs. Then we would fasten them all together and they were so excited to see the long chains. Then decorated the room.
Like the idea of the spirit chains!
Hi Margy! I need to go take a peek at the pictures you loaded. The more pictures the happier I am!
Got to leave soon. Broke the frames of my glasses while playing with Zach. Do not know what happend but they snagged on something (I was blowing on his tummy!) and one ear piece broke off. Think I need new glasses. Drat!!!
Glue? And my students say they can't use tape! Think how much fun they would have if I let them run about the building gathering staplers! And of course everyone else is using theirs!
Yep. good ol' Elmer's glue. Have to let the chain sit there for a short while, but it works great. The kids loved learning how to make the chains and we did it in pattern!!!!!! Red...Green! lol
Well looky at the egg cup in our nest...
You're right, Paula! The egg cut is showing up! Wow! Oh, I do hope we get the live feed back with sound. It makes all the difference in the world!
Egg CUP!
Good Day Everyone! We have SUN, too!!!! YAY
It was a wonderful Open House!!! Great to see everyone! Got 1/2 pictures done (not on yet)--will try to finish today and blow up E_M albums real fine!!!
Also missed seeing the Birds & wish I'd taken a pic of the nest from the Bldg. Entrance even tho no birds there in afternoon.
You are so right, Paula...thanks for that...
Where there is an egg cup....there will be some H♥P ☺
TTFN short nap time...
xo
BTW, noticed there was a Live Feed pic going in the lobby of NCTC bldg. & it had that dreaded orange lettering. Talked to lady about that, but didn't ask about cam.I mentioned Steve & she said it's not him, but someone else in charge of communications.??
Well thank goodness WE don't have it anymore on OUR views.
Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures from Open House...I only got the five that I posted from the two dinners....
Norma - I delivered your message to Suz via email...she sends cheerful greetings back to you...☺
xo
okay bye
I am off to take care of my glasses. Went down and gathered a few pecans. Jack is down there knocking them out of the trees. Have to get them before the squirrels do. They can just eat acorns and everyone else's pecans.
BBL
Have a great week!
Spirit Week leading up to Homecoming used to be so much fun. Each day was a different theme... like 'Inside Out'
or 'Backwards' (clothing items)
Mix Match (plaid shirts and striped pants or whatever) Old memories of my own and of the high school where I worked as Secretary (I got to send all those nasty letters home from the principal).
Blood work: I walked in - no one there whatsoever - signed my name - gave some blood and came on home!
Some days are better than others! lol
I would have gone into the post office but they close for an hour or two at lunch! Cutting cost I guess. I sometimes wonder how much they are losing due to paying bills on line...
Must go tax brain for
supervisors' meeting at work :(
Nest cup, seems to be deepening on its own ☺
Have a Nice Afternoon and West Coast Morning and Afternoon, all.
TTFN xo
Margy - It may be the shadows at the nest.... I pray that Lib makes that
egg well very very DEEP!
Lisa's Incredible Gallery pics of the osprey fishing are incredible. I wish I could see them on a slideshow!
That forum has a lot of great pics...
Jo, remember last year....egg cup was so deep we could not see Hidey. We do not want it that deep!
Back from going to see about my glasses. Wahoo! I get whole new frames in two days. Only have to pay the shipping. Wahoo! I thought I was going to be out the whole caboodle!
Usually new frames mean big bucks!
You're lucky!
I remember that is how Hidey got the name. BUT the deeper the better when
the rain/snow/sleet and hail comes.
About 20 penguins at the MD Zoo in Baltimore... I wish I knew what the ducks were - black & white but webbed feet - at first I thought they were a different kind of penguin with a long neck and bill!
Link to Penguin cam
Also looks like a very very large sea gull off to the lower right.
Diego is getting a scrubbing from Mom
OK I think the Post Office is now open so off I go........

penquin feeding time, girl chasing seagulls again
Hello! Finally home and settled in from VA visit. Not only lab and Dr., but then SIL wanted to visit his in-patient bro, who was being released while we there. SIL has dropped 22 lbs. in a month---so very proud, and doc was VERY happy!
Saw lots of frost while driving....SO glad I have the garage----4 yrs. this month!! And tree canopy kept frost off my surfaces.
Did get a peek at our lovely duo this AM!! Sure is a good sign that they are hanging out....was a bit acraid they might decide to relocate!!!
Saw my first black-capped chickadees today!! Wonder where they go for the summer? Of course, mentioned previously, titmice and nuthatches have been back for a couple of weeks.
Margy, forgot to tell you that I saw a big sand crane in one of the ponds at Laurel Ridge S/D Sat. AM on way to S'town!
When Suz and I went to the Birds of Prey room Sat., a lady asked me to take a pic of her holding the screech owl---I did, but she hasn't e-mailed me yet so that I can send it to her!
Also, the young girl handling the birds knows of my cousin Jeannie who is an archaeologist with the National Park Service (currently at Bankhead National Forest in Alabama)---she has read some of her works, and wondered if she could talk to her; again, gave her my email address to reach me so that I could refer her to Cuz---no word from her yet, either!
Wow- looooong day- but nice sunny day out there. No word from Sissy yet? Did she make it home with my eagle?
We had a day and a half of sun, it was so nice. Back to clouds today with more rain tomorrow. :(
Eagle at BWO
Eagle at BWO. Yippee
Hope ours visit....
Megan, maybe Sissy is in trouble w/the law for trying to kidnap Panda!! LOL
This is the website for the group that was at NCTC Saturday- Talons! A bird of prey experience
That wouldn't surprise me, Loretta!
Dinner is now finished and all of my errands were run before that. It was a beautiful day - so beautiful that the dang stink bugs started coming out of hiding! Grhhhhhhhhhh! Hate them. Phew!
Guess I best go over to FB and check out the Bluefield wandering crew!
BBILW
Thanks, Megan!!!
No problem:) The young woman with the long dark hair who was handling the birds is named Talon Skye.
SISSY IS HOME & has been working for a couple of hours........
I gave her pain for not letting us know that - Duhhhhhhhhhh.....
She came home with the Big Bird and NO panda! lol
Loved having you here Sissy & Tom & Mattie!
I loved having Sharon & Thelma here this weekend! Hope you found all the dogs hungry and well when you got home.
EAGLEEAGLE
Sorry so late!! We got home today around 12:30 and had to take the rental car back, having to work some, put away stuff, you know the drill!! I did post some pics on the Yahoo Momsters site. My wonderful new house mate, George, is doing great! (Sorry Megan). He is so beautiful. He is wearing eagle beads and loves his new home!! We had a blast with ya'll Saturday and then another great time at the zoo and Washington Mall yesterday. Just an all around great weekend. I am so grateful for friends like ya'll! You enrich our lives so much!!!
I have been trying to post some pics on Facebook but keep getting an error message. Will keep trying though!!
I saw one, I see none
Thanks for coming and getting me Mema Jo and Megan!!
STUPID BLOG....it already poofed
Missed the eagle.
Hey Sissy, I'm trying to forgive you, give me time...lol...
Good evening! Relaxing in my recliner.
Been fussing with the bank. I have online banking. Have tried to have an automatic transfer from my checking each month applied to credit card just so I won't have a late payment. I figure I can just go in and pay more when I want to, but absentminded Shirley will not have a late charge.
After trying several times to set it up and having it disappear as if I had done nothing, I went to the bank. Two people at two different branches said they would get back in touch with me and would set it up.
They didn't, so I went to the bank with all my stuff and sat down and told them what I wanted. I thought everything was fine. Nope. Just got a late fee, even though I had a credit of more than the minimum payment because I had returned a defective car battery.
So far, I have talked to three people and they are all working on fixing it. They tell me the late fee is waived. I said I was about to close the account. I think those were the magic words.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
The pandas loved me. Tai blew kisses!! ROFLMBO! Seriously, it was amazing getting to stand there and watch them. The whole zoo was wonderful. I am going to a panda for Halloween. Got me a panda mask, figure that, black sweat pants and a white sweat shirt with the sleeves dyed black and such should do the trick!!
beautiful sunset at BWO, with eagle
poof at BWO
Sissy, you will share a picture of yourself in the panda costume, won't you?
I've found credit card companies are pretty good about waiving a late fee when your reason for getting it is a good honest one.
It can be so aggravating, all the electronic stuff though....I always wonder how elderly people deal with all this kind of stuff, and I don't mean US, I mean, elderly...
Good Evening Everyone... xo ☺
The birds were in and out and IN so much this morning, always wonder what they are all about when they just drop in for a minute or two
Sounds great Sissy...☺
Good news at your end, too, Lynn....good health news is always welcome
Magpie, we somehow ended up with your umbrella. I swear we didn't steal it on purpose. We didn't even have an umbrella, so I am not sure how it happened, but we have it!!
Newborn crescent moon should be out after sunset Tuesday in the South East...I think...it will be teeny tiny - it's probably lurking out there now on a low horizon somewhere
Well, enjoy it...hope you don't have to use it too often...the blue and white one or the multi-color one ?
I gave them both to Wanda and Gene to put in the Eagle Express for Saturday....I couldn't be there so I sent the umbrellas in my place ☺
Thelma and Sharon had one, so that might be where it came from, they thought it was their's or something.
Megan did you hear that - G E O R G E
I thought that was Shirley's cat.. lol
Yepper we found her!
Sissy I put up an album (took me forever it seemed as it was the 1st one I did) on FB Pretty cool how it is done! Might need to do another
Uh yeah, I heard that.....
Sounds like a good yarn to me too ☺
I promised my daughter I would T R Y
to clean off the junk on my hutch...
She is coming tomorrow... You all know I am a night owl so I haven't yet started to pitch all that junky clutter.
Wish me well!
person on snowman cam
The lanterns are lit at Snowman ☺
Megan, you could kidnap George the Eagle and tell Sissy you thought it was yours.....
Right, that'll work. I really just wanted something to remember you by Margy!! Eat your heart out Megan!!! George loves me!!
" connection refused " to the Momsters album....maybe some pictures are going up ☺
Just let me know if the snowman starts walking around...
LOL T-Bird you just called me
Mema Lo.......... I sort like that!
Oh, see I was trying to be gracious, but you are sooo cruel..I'm going off to cry for a while... I'm not a good loser...
Let me know if George the eagle flies away.
Need to go make myself some supper and then write a literary terms quiz for tomorrow.
Gonna go hang out with my lonesome dogs a while. They missed us something fierce this weekend. Will catch you good folks later!! Much love!!
Sissy, good that you had the umbrella to keep George II dry!!!!
Can't wait to see your costume get-up!
Yep, Megan, found her name on the website---COOL name!!! I love it!
Well, Jo, how 'bout Mema Hi!!! We were all on a natural high this weekend, weren't we?
Evening, all!
Missed another visit!! Rats!
George the eagle? I thought George was a squirrel or a cat or something...
Have noticed different folks saying they have posted pics today, but they aren't showing in the albums Jo set up! Did y'all start new albums??
Eagle was in for about one minute, Paula... - while I was looking that is.
I got two pictures and put them on the album.
Hedgie...did you see Wanda's video on Just for Fun ?
And, it was an EAGLEEAGLE...that was Mits's alert ☺
Headed out to Funeral Home for a visitation, mother of a dear friend died Friday....elderly lady with a lot of health problems...finally, her illnesses are over.
Be back much later.
xox Good Evening Wishes, for all..
♥
You never know when a big old eagle might fly into the Sharpsburg area!
EYES TO THE SKY !!!
I'll check out the OPEN House albums Lynn.........I keep checking for more
pics. Loved Wanda/Gene's video!
Especially the last couple of clips!
Yep, Margy, Wanda-Gene video was great!!
I was over in Eaglet Momster Albums
Sissy's pics are separated from the original album I will move them over to the original album....
Great pic of GEORGE! and also the TALONS
Can't move right now as someone else must be doing something.....
Ya know, I told hubby about the eagle that I didn't win...and that I might make my own, I think he promptly hid the chain saw...
I have about 2 or 3 trees that need to come down - I can let you practice on those tree trunks! Our eagle could turn out to be an arrowhead! lol
Or a blob..
Hubby has walked behind me about 3 different times - you see the china cupboard is right in this room
I think I better start making it look like I am working on it. I could just do one big sweep and I'd be finished...
Since I haven't looked for anything there in 3 years I just may do that!!!
lol
Just use a sweeping motion with your arm and knock it all into a bag....I won't tell on you.
We'll see how this works out... I could find some money you know. lol
I wish!
BBILW or BBL Depends how it goes!
Jo, plop it all in a bag or a box and hide it under the bed----Kristin will never know!!!
Yep, found Sissy's lonely album!!
Hey Lynn- is this accurate -if you take the H1N1FluMist, you will in fact become a carrier of the H1N1 flu. Information on this drug states that you can and will shed the virus for up to 21 days. That means as you are visiting with your elderly family members, or shopping in the isles of your grocery store or sitting in church with young children and people with immune problems, You are going to be shedding the virus H1N1 germs.
There is a guy who lives near here who used to always have chain-saw art on display in his yard---should stop sometime to see if he has any eagles! He had to stop leaving them out because they got stolen---Margy, remember on the left just before the Sleepy Creek bridge as you start heading up towards Spohr's Crossroads?
Megan, you have mail.
Happy After Dinner Evening Everyone!
Edited all my pics, went to Yahoo E_M album & there isw a size limit per pic, so now I have started to check thyem & most have to be resized!!! AARRGGHH
Glad to see Sissy & family are home & there is NOT a black & white addition to the family besides the new eagle member!!
Just got a terrific email frrom Greg K. at Park of all people. He never sends mail. Will send it to E_M before distributing all over the world!!
BBLW I hope
Hi, Gang,
Just want to let you know I'm still around--we're getting ready to go out for pizza for dinner.
Went with daughter and sister-in-law to Spa Gregorie's in Newport Beach for a 1 hr. Swedish massage this morning! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh...absolutely heavenly! Feel as relaxed as a huge lump of Jell-O! That place is really luxurious! Went shopping after that, then to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Have been running all day, but having all kinds of fun!
Will try to catch up on the blog and say hello later when we get home. Prayers for everyone; sorry, Margy, to hear about your friend's Mom! ((Hugs)) Prayers for her and her family! Oops--gotta go now, or they'll leave without me! Later....
Thanks, Mits, that answers my questions.
OMG, Megan...hadn't heard that!!! Let me do some checking!
Lynn, I sent you the email Mits sent me about it.
Good evening, everyone.
Andy, enjoy the time with your family. The spa treatment must have been sooooooooo relaxing! Enjoy every minute, including pizza.
Well, I am once again getting confused but that's okay. I'm used to it.
Since I'm not sure what exactly is going on, momsters album, where pictures are posted, etc., I'm going to turn my my light off but will leave the night light on for others.
G'night all -- Until sometime tomorrow,
Judie
Megan, you have email!
I amto get my H1N1 Saturday
Could I also get email with info on it.
Thanks
And here is what CDC says:
Can people receiving the nasal-spray flu vaccine LAIV pass the vaccine viruses to others?
In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts occurred only rarely. The current estimated risk of getting infected with vaccine virus after close contact with a person vaccinated with the nasal-spray flu vaccine is low (0.6%-2.4%). Because the viruses are weakened, infection is unlikely to result in influenza illness symptoms since the vaccine viruses have not been shown change into typical or naturally occurring influenza viruses.
Jo it is the spray, that has the live h1n1 virus, not the shot...
Hi there Lady's. You all are realy in to it. (talking) We got our free flu shoot's today. Not bad. At least I didn't have to run to the VA to get mine.
shot
Thanks, Lynn, got it.
Kid's school had over 100 kids absent today.
Mits, Jo, Megan...you have email.
Hey, Crunch.....wasn't sure if you were talking about a flu shot or one of our famous POOP SHOOTS!!!! Ha,ha!!
VA has a really neat drive-thru for flu shots. But didn't need to use it as Son-in-law got his during his regular apptmt. last month!
Did you hear that they shut down St. James Academy for this week because of it, Megan?
Yeah, they had around 28 cases of flu, I think.
We both was able to get them at the senior center in Chambersburg. They only had them for 2 hrs.
Whoops, it was 38 kids with flu, two confirmed to be swine flu.
Deer behind woody (snowman)
Hope Doris' hips and legs are feeling better, Crunch!
Andy, when you get back from pizza feast....glad that the spa treatment was so wonderful---you sure deserve that kind of pampering after all of your hard work and studying!! How long will the kids be with you??
Thanks Mits! It will be the shot I would think!
Hi Bob and Doris. Glad you got the seasonal flu shot - are you going to get the H1N1 shot also?
I'm outa here- tired, very hectic day. nite all :)
Hey Jo, is that hutch clean?
Okay, is there an easy answer to the shot or mist debate...
many pictures on the news show the mist, have a bunch of fire department people getting...something...tomorrow...
just wondering.
I'm sorry I couldn't really tell from the blog comments.
Good Night Megan...
Hope the Eagles bring you joy in the morning.
xo
Jo We have no idea. Don't know where they have the shot's. Nothing was said around here about the shots.
I guess you gals have this cam for deer. http://www.rd-hc.com/rdhc_deer_cam.htm
