Thanks for the new thread!

stronghunter said...

Thanks Steve and Sharon!

magpie said...

* Megan *

You Win !! First to discover and announce the New Thread! Now, okay, got to figure out a little prize... ☺

Thanks for the call over, Megan, Thanks Steve, and Good Morning Again, Eagle Pals xo

Happy Birthday Beautiful Belle, Come Find Us ! Hope you have a Wonderful Birthday

magpie said...

Megan, I hear a Towhee at Pix Pa ♫ ♪

Mits said...

thanks, Megan, for the call over:):)

Mits said...

Happy Birthday to Belle again:)

stronghunter said...

Oh sorry, I should have thanked Megan. But I appreciate you anyway, Sharon.

magpie said...

Mits, can you get Finland to open up? I hope YOU can, but I cannot.

So, did you get to sleep through the night? Or could you sleep....?

stronghunter said...

Please fill me in. Who is Belle?

magpie said...

Belle is a Momster who used to post a lot, and has not for awhile...the others who have been here longer can tell you more.

stronghunter said...

I am confused. You are not speaking of Belle the eagle?

Mits said...

yes Margy, I am getting the Finland cam up...MT right now

magpie said...

when I started posting on the Blog in 2008 May, I think she was no longer on the blog....but I remember reading her posts when I was just a lurker !

stronghunter said...

Okay. Thanks, Megan. The name was causing me problems.

magpie said...

Okay, Mits, Thanks...guess I have the same problem I did a few months back....might take awhile before I get it going again :(

stronghunter said...

I have Finland, too.

Mits said...

Belle was on in the beginning of the blog...06-07, I think, she and Suzanne used to have a running commentary during the summer months when she was off from teaching....she was also getting another degree and had a growing family, and really got to busy to come on here, I am guessing...?

magpie said...

Okay, take it easy on me...don't rub it in! ☺

Shirley, about four months ago I lost the site, for no known reason, just like I lost sound.
Then I got it back.

I try every which way to get in, and eventually I will figure out there is some control box I need to activate to get it back. Maybe I was just watching it too much!

stronghunter said...

The world of technology is full of mysteries.

magpie said...

I went back to Oct 11 2007 to look for posts from Belle on her birthday then...saw some birthday greetings but never saw that she came on. Sure was fun, though, saw posts from Suzanne, Dana, Jim, Mits, Paula, NillaWafer, Jo, Megan, Glo...and many others. Some remain, and some are out there in Eagle Land with us

floralgirl said...

Please, please..no thanks necessary. I really didn't do anything...

magpie said...

Family, teaching, and going to school...that's a real busy schedule! I did send her an email from the Birthday Alerts page, maybe she will get some of those...

Mits, I saw ISS this morning, totally unexpected, long transit from SE to NE - wasn't on my schedule...was out looking at Moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn and Mercury.

In the early morning when the Moon rises, (Monday morning) it will be nice and close to Mars, and the Twins, Castor and Pollux...

Mits said...

it was on my schedule this a.m but was not up..think tomorrow is supposed to be a long sighting here

stronghunter said...

Something in the middle of the picture at Pix Pa--all hunched down now, but doesn't look like a raccoon. Opossum?

magpie said...

Mits, same here, some early morning transits, Oct 14 should be a good one!

Shirley, that is most likely the groundhog. Very black tail, not like all of them have. I had thought it was a mutant raccoon, stripeless tail and white mask, but I was just imagining something.

magpie said...

It's really way past time to be seeing some turkeys there...or I guess I might be missing seeing them. Guess they might be hiding from hunters, there is probably some season in up there...archery season starts in WV on the 17th -

stronghunter said...

Yeah, I expect it was the groundhog. It turned its back on me and all I could see was a lump after the initial glimpse, then I had to update manually and it was gone.

stronghunter said...

Thought I saw a turkey on the Snowman cam this morning.

magpie said...

Let's just say it was a most welcome post, Megan.

And I promise not to load up the blog all day with comments....makes it hard for Deb and Paula and others to catch up ☺

I'm going to do more housework, and take care of phone calls and family emails.

Best wishes, for a really nice day for everyone...and for those working at home or away from home, hope it goes smoothly, and fast!
xo TTFN ♥

stronghunter said...

I don't think I wished Belle a happy birthday yet.


Happy birthday Belle!!!!

stronghunter said...

Margy, we enjoy your comments!

stronghunter said...

What bird call at Pix Pa?

stronghunter said...

Okay, I think it was the towhee.

NatureNut said...

Happy, Holy Sunday Morning to Everyone.
We have been blessed by an adult eagle at BWO! Beautiful sight, but I do like blue as a color!!!!

stronghunter said...

Must go study. Need to connect to printer and print out the articles. I study best with a pencil in my hand. Don't think I should mark up the computer screen!

Mits said...

hoodie at Finland

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Belle is a deserter! She used to hang out with us all the time and then she deserted us! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLE just in case you are still a lurker! Wish you would come back to us!

deb said...

I am off to work, bbl.

Happy birthday, Belle.

magpie said...

I have an important message/email response from Steve, though I don't know if he is back on home turf or still traveling:

I had emailed his email address on Friday, about the Still Cam going Blue

Thanks. I'll pass it on. We have been having difficulties with the offsite network infrastructure (out of our control, except to complain).

Steve


Thank you Steve..... we will greatly anticipate the return of our Nest Views !

magpie said...

Sharon
It was pretty fun going back to the old blog posts....I saw in there somewhere where your computer was down and everyone was sympathizing...
and talk about many things that we STILL talk about. When I opened up for Oct 10 or maybe the 9th, 2007, there is an awesome nest picture that was posted with the new thread.

Hi, by the way. Bye, Deb.

Mits said...

2 hoodies

hedgie said...

Quick---check Finland....what are they???

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the new thread this Sunday morning. Hi there Megan! How's it feel being home on a Sun morning? I need to read earlier comments - just finished emails!

Happy Birthday Belle - We miss your being here - Enjoy your day and we'll be looking for you next weekend if by chance you and the family come over to Open House!

hedgie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BELLE, wherever you are!!! Come back to the blog on your birthday!!!

Mits said...

hooded crows , Lynn...aka hoodies

Mema Jo said...

And I thought Hoodies were all black.
They are beautiful aren't they.
Thanks Hedgie for heads up.

hedgie said...

Well, thanks, Mits----I always thought the hoodies were hooded crows and that they were all black.......duh!!! Think this is the first time I've been lucky enough to see these----thjey are very attractive! Wish the close-up view was movable!!!

hedgie said...

Got a good capture that I'll send for Suz to see Tues. AM!!!

Mema Jo said...

The ship is going past the island
Missed it again.....

magpie said...

No birds to see at this time, but Lake Washington Eagle cam is back up and running...scenery is pretty ☺

Lake Washington Eagle Cam

magpie said...

Well, there is a little flitty bird there now.
Here is a better link, gives all the other sites to link to :

Wildwatch Cams
I know most of you have this, but thought I would put it up again if needed.

magpie said...

The first link gives a bigger picture of the Eagle nest.

Hello More Morning People.

xo

hedgie said...

Margy, any update on Dorset this morning?

Mema Jo said...

Headed out of here for a little while
Need to get some things in order around the house....

BBILW

magpie said...

Yes, Lynn
She sounds good, finally got some ice chips overnight, she said it was like Chateaubriand (a find cut of sirloin !) and today the staff will get her up and walking around.
No release date set yet of course.
Maybe something more by mouth later.
She has the Spirometer thing 10 times per hour, and whooshy things on her legs, both common after surgery....and IV antibiotics and maybe for fluid also, And she is in good spirits.
She likes her lady doctor...
I'll visit with her by phone later on this afternoon. Am very relieved. ☺

magpie said...

I think I am going to take a little rest period, and then get up and kick some dust bunny butts!

TTFN - xoxo ☺

magpie said...

Good Morning to you, Jim, too...

update several posts back on the Blue Cam situation, from Steve.

So Long...for now...

movin said...

tHER'S a goodly layer of fresh snow on the ground at the Old Faithful site this morning. Temp. is in the 20's, but there were some hardy souls out there this A.M. to view the 8:27 spout.

Beautiful....


C(°Ù¿°)D


Jim

hedgie said...

Sounds good, Margy!
Jim, did you see the spouter this time??
Lots of snow in lots of places.....and some really low temps. It was 37 here at 8. Do not like it one bit. :(

stronghunter said...

Hi,

I printed off a bunch of articles for my class and read them. There are several things to do besides reading, so I have to get to work on them. . . . Then there is the other class to tackle.

After reading about the pictures from 2007, I went back and looked at some interesting pictues on the new threads from December of that year.

stronghunter said...

Looks very cold at Old Faithful.

stronghunter said...

Margy, I remember well those whooshy things on my legs. One doctor kept saying he thought that I should not have them after a certain point because I would get up and move around more if I did not have to disconnect them, but the other doctor insisted that I had to wear them unless I was in a chair. I spend most of the day in a chair so I could escape them! They weren't bad and I understood the need, but they got aggravating. Hope your sis is feeling well enough to get aggravated soon!

stronghunter said...

spent most of the day

hedgie said...

SKINS up 7-zip!

stronghunter said...

Okay, just turned it on.

stronghunter said...

Told Kathryn she should pay my 10-cent fine since she put a hold on the book I had! She said she'd pay it--of course I would not really do that to my child.

stronghunter said...

Will and I just had some cashew chili from Wegman's. We would rather have meat in our chili!

magpie said...

Okay, nap behind me.
Shirley, I love your wish, that my sister feels well enough to get aggravated soon ☺ - she has the patience of Job, and she used to teasingly say:
" I come from a long line of sufferers." We used that phrase amongst us in joking from time to time. We also called her "Spitfire" (I think she actually named herself that as a young teen, possibly after a Schwinn bicycle she might have owned at the time ! )

I'm going to make a visit to our one sister's gravesite, Kathy, who died in December 2008. We have been asking for her prayers these last few days, so I think I will go share some good news quiet time with her.

I really, really love you ladies and gents on here.
I hope the day is a good one, in whatever each of us is doing today.

Happy Football Watching to those watching, and I hope the Steelers will win for Ed and Dana today, and the Twins later for Deb. I have not placed that second phone call to Dana yet.

TTFN xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Well, that was December, 2007. Seems like yesterday. Sorry for the mix up on dates.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Margy, I really really love you too! And -- 2007 sucked!

hedgie said...

SKINS 10 CAR 2. GO SKINS!!!

hedgie said...

Currently 17-9!!!

stronghunter said...

17-12

hedgie said...

Well, this stupid game went south, literally and figuratively......what a joke. 20-17, Carolina. BOO!

stronghunter said...

Not a good ending for the Skins.
Off to the library. Need to get there while they are open.

floralgirl said...

Oh those redskins...

magpie said...

How did the Steelers do? I have begun to make an attack on the converter box...I think...

magpie said...

Candy might be happy...I saw that she was blogging a lot on Oct 11 2007 also.

T-Bird said...

well at least Baltimore won MITS

glo said...

Saying hellp from Columbia SC. Time to walk Dex but happy to be online :-). Does anyone know if the Red Sox are in the playoffs tonight. I will check thebLOG when i get bck from walking Dex. Thanks

ceil said...

Thelma the Ravens lost 17 to 10 Horrible game. Too many mistakes.
Glo Boston and Angels played this afternoon. I might be wrong but I thing Boston lost. They were winning but Angels tied and then I think they went ahead. Will check

ceil said...

Yep Boston lost and they are out of the playoffs.

ceil said...

So how is everyone this afternoon?

Mema Jo said...

Games didn't turn out like some of us wanted. <:(

Time to find something for dinner.

BBILW

deb said...

Lunch time, only 1/2 hour on Sundays, so bbl.

floralgirl said...

Hey Jo, to answer your question from earlier, it feels kinda strange to be home all day on a Sunday, first time since April. But we are eating good because of it, homemade blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and now dinner is cooking. pork loin, homemade sweet and russet potato chips,broccoi w/cheese, and mushrooms with parmesan cheese.

Mema Jo said...

BTW - Snowman and Ms.Goose have their
Halloween attire displayed.

deb said...

Sorry so many of your teams lost. VIkings won today, but not sure what the final score was. They are 5-0 now.


BB

ceil said...

Deb that is great. Off to finish making dinner. BBL

deb said...

Winter Weather advisory for tonight. will have to find out more when I get home, it is flurrying now.

Really have to go, bbl

magpie said...

Okay gotta go bye..
I have been imagining the pork aromas throughout the area today...
aaaaahhh....

Just talked to Dana....she sends love, hugs, and is now adding to the prayers she has already been saying...Sissy, Helen's Annie, Ben and all, my sister Dorset, and all the prior ones and ones we don't know about yet...

Dana has a cold or bad allergies...and sounds like it, but is cheerful, also right eye is good now, left eye, giving her problems so she is wearing an eye patch...it's just watering and tearing, nothing too yucky, just uncomfortable. Also Little Man the pooch, is having some neck/back things going on, so I guess everyone there is more or less "in treatment." She had hoped to blog today but the eye irritation is going to prevent it.

She asks about all, I gave her as much update as I could...

She asks for prayers that her cold will hold where it's at and not get any worse.

I have to restart the computer reference updates, and it takes me 30 mins to get things rolling again..

so TTFN....and xox ☺ and ♥

glo said...

OK Ceil Thanks. I guess I won't entertain myself tonight by watching the Red Sox then :-) Oh Well tomorrow I will arrive at my sons for a 6 day visit. After almost 2 years that is a very very good thing and osmething to be excited about. Enjoy your Columbus Day oh and i htink maybe someoen has a special birthday coming up too. Happy Birthday Birthday Girl I think I am right and she will know IF I am and that I remembered since once I get to Tom Jr house there will be little internet time and this is the first time I have gotten online since i left home 3 days ago. I am a slow traveller LOL But I am retired and have the most important one right here with me :-)

Mema Jo said...

Glo, you and Dex (loved the pic) have a safe journey. I am assuming you are driving and Thank You for remembering.
Enjoy your stay and hope you get some warmer weather. ((hugs))

Judie said...

Yippee! Assignments finished and grades recorded. What a relief.

Really happy to know Dana is okay with just cold/allergies. Eagle prayer for quick recovey. Sure do hope her eye improves even quicker. Wonder if she's talked with the doctor?

Also happy that Dorset is recovering. I hate those leg things. Seems every time I would almost fall asleep the stupid things would inflate and I would be back awake again. ICU is not a restful place.

Speaking of Snowman, there are some strange looking black things in/around the trees and on ground behind the trees. What am I missing? I do see the pumpkin costume and birds - cute.

I am NOT going to think about the REDSKINS. Grrrrrr!

Guess what? I don't have to make my pilgrimage to the frig. tonight. Frank is going to get pizza. YES!

Later,
Judie

magpie said...

Hey Glo....this all sounds wonderful, yes, your wonderful little traveler, hugs and scratches to him...and hugs and kisses to You ♥

magpie said...

Let me clarify my last post regarding Dana:

I told her due date for little Ben is the 19th, so the prayers for Annie/Ben combo and all the famiy, goes on... so sorry if I confused anyone, I was typing faster because computer was hollering at me.

hedgie said...

Pizzelles are done!!!!
Dinner is cooking.
Sorry Ravens lost, too---misery love company.
GLO!! Glad to see you. Isn't SC lovely??? Hope it's warmer there than here. Bet Dex is having fun exploring new environs!
Oh, no, Deb---more snow????

magpie said...

Pork Pizza?


Dana is not calling the doctors yet...she thinks things will start to clear soon....does not seem to be infected, but it was as hot as a chili pepper last night.

Nice going, Judie, you still have part of the evening to relax and enjoy life.
xo

Mema Jo said...

Congratulations Judie - quite a weekend accomplishment. Question: Are
you bringing homework with you next weekend or are you making it easy on yourself and your students by giving them a long term assignment?

stronghunter said...

Maybe that was her mid-term, and she won't have more serious grading to do so soon.

stronghunter said...

Margy, good that you got to talk to Dana. It is a relief to hear from her.

magpie said...

Yes, Shirley, we laughed a little, I always remind her when she has laughted, also she says, "Things could be a lot worse...." that's the spirit!

She will not know, until later, about the week-end activities next week, as Jo has already pointed out, or maybe it was Wanda or Lynn...

Okay, it's hard to make a recipe without cinnamon, so I threw together some all spice, nutmeg and cardamom but not sure it is going to do the trick, just a coffee cake for work this week.

Headed over to neighbor lady's to have a look-see at cable hook up.
Also going to call Dorset.

And, I have Finland back, and still have sound ☺ I updated Adobe Flash Player...

TTFN xo

magpie said...

Cool show on WETA about horseshoe crabs, red knots (birds) and not sure what else is on. Been in and out of the room.

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

Thank goodness BWO is running so we can get an eagle fix! One there now!

magpie said...

Hi Paula, are you colored, and fested ☺

paula eagleholic said...

Ms Goose has a pumpkin outfit on and the snowman has dracula teeth at snowmancam.

Wore my feet out at Colorfest but had a great time. Found some great presents!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, about 39° at snowman cam

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Margy!

Sure wish our cam was working.

paula eagleholic said...

Colored, fested and full. Had a smoked turkey leg...good but a little salty for me. And had a fruit smoothie, yum.

paula eagleholic said...

Big find of the day was a new food bowl stand for the dogs...really nice pretty stained oak with stainless bowls.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh no, Snow for Deb!

Skins and Ravens both lost...that sucks.

Megan, Dinner sounds delicious

Deer at snowmancam

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Birthday, Belle. We miss you!

paula eagleholic said...

Searching at Pix

ceil said...

Snowman cam is cute. I remember the pumpkin custom from last year but not the dracula teeth.
Don't think I said HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BELLE. But my CRS is really getting bad.

Mema Jo said...

Family is arriving.....

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

temp dropping quickly here,,,down 7° in the last hour.

Megan, sounds like a yummy breakfast, too!

Jo, I have that banner...

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta feed the doggies in their new dishes :)

hedgie said...

Three deer out here---a young 4 pt.buck and two young does, ome lame--phate to see that. Right front leg---she's trying to put weight on it, but w/ obvious difficulty.
Dinner finished--delicious, but I ate too much. Guess making pizzelles and cheering losing Skins worked up an appetite, big-time!
Trash is out. TIme to relax!!
Army Wives season finale tonight---cliff-hanger, I'm sure!

hedgie said...

Paula, is the dog dish holder a 4-fer??? Hope it's got a healthy polyurethane coat on it! Aren't dogs sloppy drinkers?? Doxie Cinny is MUCH better than the SharPei were, tho', for sure.
BTW, realized when listing childhood pets the other day that I missed our little budgie, Smokey!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, where did the sunshine go!?

stronghunter said...

Sun is still shining in Michigan.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Shirley, I meant here! Sure sets quickly now.

Lynn, it's only a 2-fer. Dogs liked it just fine. I like the stainless bowls, just had plastic before. They said just wipe it down to keep it clean, no other special care needed.

floralgirl said...

I think I ate too much...
Hey Margy, thet show on WETA is old, but I watch it every time I see it is on. I love, love, love horshoe crabs. Have some hanging on my walls, that we found dead on the beach. Thanks for the Dana update.
Glad you had a fun day, Paula!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and my dogs are sloppy drinkers too, but not as bad as some.

stronghunter said...

We haven't even gone off daylight savings time. Then it will really get dark early.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and Raptor Force is on Nature tonight at 8pm on PBS, it's the show where they have the camera on the falcon.

paula eagleholic said...

I'd be full, too, Megan. Gonna have a bite to eat with the college kid before he goes...bbialw.

stronghunter said...

Basset hounds are the sloppiest drinkers!

stronghunter said...

And they usually manage to get their ears in the water.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yes they sure are!

floralgirl said...

Awww...I'm telling Buddy, Sharon:)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

His little sloppy butt was just behind me drinking water. Now he is standing here whining, guess he needs to go relieve himself now! :)

stronghunter said...

Food throw!

stronghunter said...

Don't think I have ever seen a basset drink without leaving a puddle by the water dish.

hedgie said...

LOL....Buddy wasn't sloppy eating HOT DOGS!!! If Cinnamon eats mashed potatoes, she always gets it on her ears! They dry crusty!! Takes a good bit of scrubbing.
Raptor Force is an excellent show---Shirley and Judie, if you haven't seen it, watch! You.ll love our eagles even more! It's on DC 26 at 8.

stronghunter said...

WETA, Lynn?

stronghunter said...

Okay, I got it!

stronghunter said...

If you don't give the basset the hot dog, it will fling drool all over the room!

Judie said...

I'm back full of pizza and a big glass of wine. Yummy!

Will try to stay awake for the raptor program.

Too tired for much else to say -- not much has been going on except school work.

NO! I will not be bringing work with me. This is the first time I've been away from home, except for funerals and Frank's family, in nearly 27 years. I plan to enjoy it.

Later

stronghunter said...

Good for you Judie! You have certainly earned this little trip! Can't wait to see you!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, Judie, I'm glad you're getting away with us...you'll have fun for sure!

paula eagleholic said...

College kid is heading back to school, but I'll see him again in 2 weeks, he and John, with John's FIL and BIL are going to the Eagles/Skins Monday night game in two weeks...then there is parents weekend in November, we are all going up to Rider.

hedgie said...

Glad you all plan to watch!
Oh, Judie, you most certainly deserve this little trip!!! So glad that we were the lucky folks who made you want to do it!!!

Mits said...

hi ya....Back from game and visit to the girls...Ceil, Ravens lost 17 to 14...just got beat by a better team, like last week, and no hope for a win next week......playing the Vikings.....

deb said...

When I did the Susan G Komen 60 mile walk with my sister and niece, we were at the finish line after 3 long days of walking. I was standing and thinking how nice it would be to have my sandals on instead of my tennis shoes. One of my niece's friends bent down, untied my shoes and helped me out of them. At the time it was the nicest thing I could imagine from someone I had never met before. I have since gotten to know her and listened to her beautiful voice at my niece's wedding in Jan.

Today Mikala is losing her mother to a brain tumor and time is very short. They are a very strong family, but please think of the Hoopers over the coming weeks as they go through this difficult time.

deb said...

Never say never, Mits. Sometimes the Vikes blow the games they should win.

Mits said...

how sad, Deb, prayers for sure.....always wonder why bad things happen to good people, even read the book of the same name, still do not understand....

Mits said...

well Deb, the Ravens cannot beat Bret Favre, even if they blindfolded him....don't think the few times they have played against him that they won.

deb said...

it is very sad. Apparently the type of tumor is hereditary, and Maxine is the third sibling to get it. I sure hope it doesn't get passed down to the next generations but i don't think the doctors know the answer to that. I am sure they will watch all of the kids very closely.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

CANCER SUCKS!

paula eagleholic said...

Coons at pix

deb said...

About the time we all get our hopes up that the Vikings will make it to the Superbowl, they are usually dashed. I try hard every year not to get caught up, but I can feel the pull already. lol

deb said...

That says it all, Sharon!

floralgirl said...

Yeah, that about covers it, SHaron. Very sorry to hear that news, Deb. So hard to lose someone to a serious illness like that.
Just had an employee bail on me for Tuesday...arg...so now my evening is stressed as I figure out how to be in several places at nce. Will make my day very hectic. And it was such a nice relaxing day, too.

stronghunter said...

Prayers for Maxine, Deb.

magpie said...

Deb So sad...I'm sorry for the family, and for you to have this sadness about your little friend. There are really no words...

magpie said...

Megan
That's a crummy last minute switch up for you, I wish I was off Tuesday and could offer to help, but I will fume with you from across the Potomac ! Hope there is a replacement available. Glad you enjoyed your day anyway, sounds like some great cooking at your place.

Anonymous said...

Hi all
Did you all here the forcast for next week end? Hagerstown call's for rain (big time) There is alot going on next week end. The open house and Fall Fest in McConnllsburg, Pa. on Fri. Sat. Sun. and in Chambersburg Sat.

stronghunter said...

Judie, I asked about those strange things in the background near the trees at the Snowman cam last night. Today, when it was light, I could tell that there are logs and fallen trees back there.

stronghunter said...

Hi, Crunch!

floralgirl said...

Thanks, Margy. I am the replacement. And I can make it work, but it will complicate my day. And I hate when people agree to something and then bail, I would never do that to someone. And it was not an emergency or anything like that. This is a real job after all, and I am resposible for making it all flow smoothly.

floralgirl said...

Howdy crucnh. Weather undergound has this forecast for Saturday so far-Saturday
Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs in the mid 50s.

paula eagleholic said...

I heard rain for Thursday and Friday...

Sorry about your friend, Deb. So sad.

magpie said...

I'm checking out early tonight friends, with I could watch the Twins beat the Yankees.

It has been enjoyable reading the fun things, and sad to read the sad things,it's all part of the package that holds us together.
I had a nice good-evening chat with my recovering sister Dorset, thank you all so much again for your helpful prayers.

I bet Mits had fun with the M&M girls and I hope she brings some of that joy on here for us ☺

I got three 12's coming up, so let me just remind you to check out the Moon and Mars in the wee hours of the morning, and Best Wishes for a Good, Hard-Earned Rest tonight.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥

Anonymous said...

Well that's a week away Will see

magpie said...

Well, don't GET UP to watch Moonie and Mars, but if you happen to be up before sunrise, well, then look.

The coffee cake turned all right, even without the cinnamon.

floralgirl said...

I have no doubt that the weather forecast will change before Saturday. Too early to tell. And I am hoping that the rain that is forecast for this week will be light or at night, or else my week will get very complicated. Got a lot of field trips scheduled this week.
Nite Margy, glad you got to talk to your sis:)

Mits said...

raccoon party at Pix

Mits said...

good view of Sheila and her chicks down under...

Thanks for the heads up on Sheila, Mits. I forgot to watch that at the right time!

Great day to go to a game!

Mits said...

weather was great....we had a good time in spite of the loss, always good to see the people we sit around...:)

Judie said...

Prayers for the Hooper family. Always so difficult for everyone.

Paula, glad you enjoyed time with the college kid and hope Mits had fun with the M&Ms.

Meagan, sorry about the bail out. Not much remains of what used to be called a conscience.

Thanks, Shirley. Missed that you asked last night. Branches and logs and stuff -- sure looked a lot like creepy critters which would have been way more fun.

Hi Crunch. Would you be so kind as to revise next weekend's weather forecast? Thanks!

Early night for me. Turning off my light but leaving the night light on for others. Andy will probably be here to take care of the security system.

G'nite and pleasant dreams for all.

Judie

Food toss about to happen????

Mits said...

Megan the M&M girls were in a corn maze yesterday....Molly wanted to be carried, and Maggie just took off running....took Dad a wile to catch up, because it was made more for kids then taller adults....

stronghunter said...

Something spooked the raccoons.

hedgie said...

Deb, so sorry to hear that sadness and tragedy. Hopefully they have done some gene testing and can test the next generation. Prayers for the Hoopers for sure.

hedgie said...

Megan, didn't know you had anyone working for you. Bummer.

floralgirl said...

Well it sounds like they were having fun then, Mits. When I went thru the maze last week with a group, the little kids up front with me were so excited and walking so fast I had to keep slowing thwm down so we wouldn't lose the back half of the group.

stronghunter said...

Yeah, Judie, it would have been more exciting if there had been wolves or something like that hanging around on the edge of the forest!

Mits said...

they had a great time....:)

floralgirl said...

Oh yeah, Lynn, have a crew of 4. I am in charge of keeping everything running on time, and sometimes have to run an activity also.

floralgirl said...

I love the excitement the kiddies have when they are on the trip, most love the hayride the best.

stronghunter said...

Finished typing the quiz for my first block. It is killing some of them. Doesn't seem too hard to me!

stronghunter said...

Megan, do you get a lot of kindergarten and preschool groups?

Mits said...

oh Molly did not like the hayride....did not like the tractor sound....but Maggie was fine...

Mits said...

Sheila flew the coop...3 chicks alone

stronghunter said...

Going to have to call it a night. See you all tomorrow!

Mits said...

well going to head to bed.....just in case, I need a few hours sleep....good night everyone...prayers for everyone's needs.

floralgirl said...

OOps, sorry Shirley, missed ya. We get prek, kindergarten and 1st and even some 2nd graders.
Nite Shirley and Mits.

hedgie said...

Goodnight Margy, Shirley and Mits! Agree that you need to get some sleep, Helen---you very well may have to get up in the middle of the night----we hope!!!

Lolly said...

Hi all! We are in the middle of no where at the Ole Towne Cotton Gin RV park. It is our favorite stop on the way home. Five hour drive tomorrow. Laurel will be getting home around 3:15, so we are attempting to get there about the same time. Want her to be home when we arrive with Jaoob.
Jacob is in bed now but not settling down. He is obviously excited about going home. lol

Lolly said...

We have thoroughly spoiled him and now it is time to return him to his parents. lol They might want to give him back to us!

I had a very very nice evening with family. Dessert were wonderful -

Deb - prayers for the family - it is so sad - especially when there isn't anything that can be done.

Paula - great! Bring the banner we'll put it to good use all day/evening long.

Hope we get some pics of the M&M gals.

Brain tired... may be heading in shortly. Need to check out the small amount of cams that are up/running.
I wish that our cam would come up and STAY UP

Lolly said...

I guess everyone is gone for the night. Sooooooo

Good night everyone!

Sweet dreams!

Mema Jo said...

ALMOST HOME Yeah Lolly!
