eagle has been in the nest since 8:47 a.m. , when Thelma brought it to our attention...Vikings are favored to win today Deb....sure they will, like i said last week Ravens can never beat Favre;)
Shoot---a few mimutes too late to catch our gal at home! Hopefully, she'll be b-a-c-k!!! Nest is looking good, isn't it? Shirley and her crew SHOULD drive out and get a better look now that it's not raining---finally! Morning eagle Dudettes and Dudes!
Hey, Crunch---about your comment that disappeared last night---we say "the blogger cop ate my comment'!!! It happens sometimes!
Shar and Thelma--you gals made really good time going home!! Bet Buddy and Buphals and the rest of the crowd was REALLY happy to see you!
Guess what I found in my mail when I got home last night?? The White House birthday greetings for my mom's 90th b-day which was supposed to have arrived in JUNE!!!!!!! Really on the ball, aren't they? NOT. No-blah-blah-ba-ma---JMHO.
The Obama White House is informing citizens requesting greeting cards that it is currently taking "several months" for the request to reach the Greetings Office and be mailed out. While the Greetings Office is unable to guarantee on time arrival of greeting cards, they promise it will arrive eventually.
Good Afternoon All! Winds have taken away the rains I hope. I slept in and feel great! Good to have had a visit this am hour and glad you all got to see it.
12 Noon and a good Sunday afternoon to everyone. Missed our eagles, but noticed the gross orange lettering is GONE from the Still cam! I mentioned that yesterday at NCTC~~~maybe they heard us! Was just going to plug in camera & work on pics. My spirits are a little dampened from a disturbing call from daughter about her job. They are "reorganizing" and taking all her lab workers away from her! She will retain title and salary, but what's the deal? She learned this over phone by a supervisor & has mtg. Monday. Sucks. Need an eagle fix! Will check BWO.
I think all pandas are accounted for as I look at the cams. Honey crate in the den but one is outside! I hope Sissy, Tom and Mattie are having fun! Especially with the large eagle statue in their trunk! lol
Arrived home with no trouble. Misty rain all the way.
Want to thank all the eagle momsters and dadsters who made my big adventure so much fun. What a lovely group of people. So nice to meet so many and be able to put faces and names together. Please enjoy the remainder of the weekend and may our most favorite teams win.
Lowreeda, what does your daughter do? Will she have to do everything without any help?? Sucks big time. The orange lettering was gone when the cam came back up after last weekends' blue image!!
Judie, glad you are home safely. So proud of you making this adventurous trip! You go, gal! Great to meet you and look forward to future get-togethers!! Despite the cruddy weather, I think we all had fun!!
We are home also. Had breakfast at Betty's. Randy Robinson and Sandy Burk were there with another couple I had a Belgain waffle with cinnamon apples caramel and whipped cream. I was in heaven. The weekend was great even though the weather was bad. This is the first time in the 13 years that the weather was bad. I am blaming it on Jim. He hates to get wet. Will check back in later. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSEPH.
Oh Judie said cheers. I will drink to that. Hey Mits I had a gin and tonic in your honor last night. Don't ask what I had Friday night. Oh by the way everyone. We got classy and you were glasses people not bottle people
Okay, Baltimore contingent has checked in----and making me hungry! Ceil, I also had a G&T last night! And I DIDN'T count your glasses of wine Fri.!!! Is MM back in her roost or still with you?? Bet you will burn up the phone lines with Mits, filling her in on all the fun she missed!
Lynn I just had a few of your pizzelles. They are delicious. Jo wish I had counted. Loved the raptors and the critters show was great. They lost their Dolly around Christmas last year and they have the new baboon. It's name is Elizabeth. He named it after his mother. He said she still is not talking to him.
Lynn we dropped MM off. Looked at all the pictures I think. Wanda and Margy. Did I miss any? Will try to see if I can get ours on within the next couple of days.
When we were at the show and the Python was brought out of the container, Anthony my 5 yr old sitting so still waiting on the S N A K E .. said so loudly "Oh My Goodness"! He was all eyes!
They all liked the bouncing baby baboon the bestest!
Just when the Skins are FINALLY starting to DO something, CBS is having technical difficulties....having to just listen on radio...argh! Ravens' showing now instead on screen---hope they can pull this one out!
I am home. Yes, Jo, I am in my recliner. Turned on the Redskins game. Maybe I shouldn't have.
We did not come back the same way we went. Went the north route--ended up on 495 to 95, got on Route 1 when 95 backed up. Much better than the route we took there.
It was a delightful weekend, thanks to everyone who planned and set up everything. It was so nice to see so many of the Momsters and Dadsters.
Hunter wanted to make sure we got home with the picture he won--we did. He loved the animal show.
No, Lynn did not look at the trantula! Lynn, Kathryn told you that she would let you know when it was safe to look again, but we were not sure you heard.
Both Susan and Hunter held it, but I did not! I can look, but do not want to touch!
Hi to all of you that I got to see this weekend and those that weren't there. I missed about half of the gathering, but sure enjoyed the part I was there for and so did my Cousin Barbara. So good to meet Judie and Shirley and Margy...in person!!! Next year I'm bringing Dean and HE can drive home!!! The weather was REALLY nasty all the way back to Red Lion.
Thanks to all who have posted pictures and Wanda, your video was terrific! Thanks to NCTC for loaning me on of their scooters so I could get around. My own scooter is allergic to RAIN!!! Love, hugs and prayers to you all!
Ceil, Barb and I are glad you liked the little sweatsuit we sent to Ben. It was just to cute to pass it by.
stronghunter said... Hey, Judie, did you miss your nametag when you got back to your room last night? I was shocked when I look down and realized I was wearing two! I had yours and mine. Must have happened when we hugged after dinner.
It was so good to see you again. Don't think I will use Mapquest again for directions to the Clarion, though. Came right through Annandale on the way home. Too bad we did not go that way!
Cool, Shirley! LOL---I found Ceil's tag on my coat when I hung it up! We give really good hugs, don't we?? Iris, glad I finally got to meet you!! And your cuz, too!
Yes, Iris. Enjoyed meeting you. I am glad we finally made it to the Friday night doings. Funny how you think you are going to be early and you end up being late, but we did finally get there.
A definite nip in the air today. Still cold when I got home, but no snow.
Will reports that the recliner was comfortable for him this weekend. I am sure he managed to keep it warm. There was a quilt spread over it and a comforter on the floor near it when I got back.
Interesting about the Balloon Boy. I was already wondering when I heard the little boy respond to Blitzer on Larry King. Too many people want their own reality show. It is too bad what some people will do to their children to get that kind of thing.
Isn't that the truth, Shirley? Exploitation for sure. Wonder if Child Services will get involved? Heard one critic saying that the parents did nothing to get the boy to a restroom or anything when he got sick on live TV---twice! Didn't they get enough exposure on the Wife Swap show??? People are crazy. Sounds like Will commandeered your recliner for sure!
Hedgie - they announced on one news broadcast that the Wife Swap show would not be aired. That was a good decision! So many times good decisions are not made and so most peoples morals go down the drain.
I think the “Wife Swap” show just whetted the appetite for more. I told Will that I thought they could be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, but Will did not think so.
That seems to be one of the charges. They had to have told those kids to lie to the officials. This time the truth came from the mouth of one of the babes. Y
ou have to think the guy is pretty foolish to think he could pull that off with all of those young children involved. He really got defensive when Blitzer asked about it later on. Pretty arrogant to think you can maintain control of everything when you have reporters and police interviewing the children.
Police are now saying that they just went along with the story to get their trust and see what would happen.
I think it has aired. I think they may have been on more than once. Anderson Cooper said that he had seen the "Wife Swap" episode. He seemed embarrassed to admit he had watched it!
Stronghunter, those ribs came to PA with me and Dean and I had them on Sat night for dinner. They were still delicious!!!
Mema Jo, you were right, I should have left the fries in WV...they just don't heat up very well, so I baked a sweet potato to have with the ribs. Love, hugs and prayers for all who need them.
Considering my cousin paid the same amount of money for a single crabcake and a spinach salad, I think feeding three people with one order of ribs was a good deal! Besides which they were EXCELLENT ribs! Remind me to do that again - but not soon.
Judie, just tried to post that Power Point again, and it looks like it actually went through this time. The teacher had said to send it to her by e-mail, but I was afraid that would not work either. I am going to see if I can get the program updated.
Well, this has been one of the laziest days of my life. Internet was down most of the day. I slept off and on until noon, then I got up, brought my laptop into the bedroom and have spent the rest of the day watching chic flicks. It has been a wonderful day! These Shepherdstown trips wear my butt out but how glorious it was yesterday to see that eagle! Really blessed. It was also glorious to see most of my eagle buds but those of you who weren't there were sorely missed!
Judie and Shirley, I hate that you didn't get to see an eagle yesterday but if you come back in May/June and there are babies, you are guaranteed a sighting!
Sissy, Mattie and Tom left DC about an hour ago. Not sure if they will drive all the way home tonight or stop but I am thinking they will probably stop.
I am going to the sofa w/ an ice pack---bum knee is really swollen and achy...too much rain and dampness! Finished off second-half of my steak alonmg with a baked tater. Had second-half of fri. dessert last night before bed....so made some apple dumplings today ( cheated---used some phyllo dough I had in freezer; too tired to make pie crust!) so will have another good treat tonight! BBL.
You all just can't take a big day. I got up day and was ready to roll again. Wife woke up last nite with leg cramps. Had to get her a pill. To much walking yesterday.
One assignment this week is to take hundreds of pictures and learn to use the features of my camera that I haven't yet mastered. That should be fun! I haven't read the whole manual yet--that is part of the assignment. There are things about light and color, etc.
You have a few years on me, Crunch, but not as many as you think. My age is posted on my blog for all the world to see. I was born the day after Pearl Harbor.
Hi Crunch, don't know if I met you this weekend, I skipped out early so I could get home before dark, but I turned 74 on 9/4 and my hubby will be 77 on 11/30. We're usually good to go, but like Lynn, my knees are none too good so I use a scooter some of the time.
I think staying active and using our minds helps to keep us in shape physically and mentally. I probably don't do too well with the physical part. Still need to do the exercises the doctor gave me.
I think Martinsburg is about 52 miles from here and what ever the rest of the mileage is. I think it was about 1 hr from here. Maybe a little more. So not bad.
Yeah, we spent 4 hours on a trip that Mapquest said should have been 2 hours and 22 minutes, but I don't think that was our fault; I blame that one on Mapquest. You don't make good time going 35 mph on back roads.
Same here, Jo, but I will have to admit I haven't been doing the exercises because I couldn't remember where I had put the paper that told me what to do.
I swear I have needed this day to bounce back from yesterday. Our internet went out and I was watching the Skins lose : ( and the next think I know I'm waking up and it's dark.
Evening everyone. having trouble with my e-mail so I am going to shut down for the night. if you sent me a message and do not get an answer you will know why. Pleasant dreams
Shirley - I believe you because I just found my exercise plan where I must have placed it a while back.
T-Bird - same thing happened to me lol
Lazy day!
Bob & Doris it was great that you found us yesterday! We need to have a Tony's Pizza soon! Have not been up to Greencastle for almost a year but still remember the pizza.
That is one reason I decided to take this class, Margy. I am also supposed to get my students started taking pictures. Maybe I will see if they can bring cameras. Many of them probably have cameras.
LOL, Margy---been a long time since we've seen anything sparkly but rain drops, right? Glad you like the cake! Have had my bath and getting ready to turn in. Another early morning w/ another apptmt. at VA for SIL. Y-a-w-n!
Hey, Crunch, tell Doris I woke up during the night w/ leg cramps, too and also had to take a pill! They are running low---can't get them anymore for leg cramps thanks to stupid FDA!
Will see you fine folks tomorrow afternoon sometime. Prayers for all, and again thanks for such a great weekend! Peace.
We have a Meteor Shower coming up in the early morning pre-dawn hours, Wednesday, Oct 21 - the Orionids. Could be good, one never knows. Orion, pretty much due East after midnight, is where the radiant is, so that would be the best place to start looking. Maybe as many as 30 an hour. We have bundled up at our respective roosts on other meteor mornings with few sightings...but some of us keep going for it ☺
Evening Everyone. Spent most of the day watching mostly awful football games!Heard an announcer say that Redskins' brass will take the play calling away from Coach Zorn because he is too busy w/team to bhe doing that too!!!!! DUH!!!Is Snyder going to do it???? Kinda too tired to get all my pictures done----still have to dwnld from another memory card in camera and edit. Went thru the new calendar and boy, I can think of some great views of Patuxent River that could be in there!Also read the Free NCTC journal. No woder they gave them away---2 years old! Sharon, you have to let us know if you hear about Sissy getting home with a Panda, as well as that Eagle!!!!
Good Shirley... I was happy to read that Hunter enjoyed himself and wants to come back next year ☺
I want to wish everyone a good rest of the evening, and I don't mind that Judie hasn't caught the Night Bandit for me because tonight it doesn't matter much, I don't have to work Monday, or the next few mornings either in fact. November and December, back to night shifts for me :(
Loretta, I bet Frank enjoyed checking out the new/old Mercury in the daylight today ☺ Without rain...
I hope there will be a picture of it when you download your pictures.
I have to disappear for a little while, will be back on later to check comments and say Good Night again...Rest well, Pals, hope the Night Bandit is not too hard on you.
I too enjoyed reading everyone's comments about yesterday...was really a great day...
Didn't get quite as much done today as I wanted at Mom's, I showed her car to 3 people and went for 3 test drives! But it was something that had to be done...hope to have it sold this week.
Haven't touched my pics yet...did get to look at them last night, will try to get to them one night this week.
Trying to get at least one load of laundry done before I lose all my steam tonight!
I see Norma was asking about her "bottle" picture. Actually, I think someone mentioned that we put all the pics in glasses on the tables....each table had 3 or 4 buddies. I printed out pics from various sources...some were sent to me, some I got on facebook, and the others I got from our Momsters album, which is where Norma and Mits' pics came from!
I forgot to mention this : Thanks for the lovely Eagle trinkets, the cup, feather, key ring, glow stick, Gold Card with "I came for the Eagles but Stayed for the Friendships I have made," and the hand sanitizer! I know there were several involved in this little goody package, and I really appreciate the gifts. ☺ ♥
Just caught the end of game---Atlanta beat Da Bears! BOO
BTW, I had leftover steak, potatoes, & green beans, too as a late lunch or early supper! Yum. Also want the give thanks to those that put together our goody cups and contents. That was a lot to do! Fubby brought them in from car this AM and soon noticed that feathers were all over! Kitties had struck!
Tried to post a link and ended up right back here! Found some fantastic pics of WT sea eagles and other birds from Finland Ferry site posted on Looduskalendar Forum--also a video or slideshow of pics one person had a link. Best are from pgs. 43 -47 so far... Finland WT Sea Eagles +

Never mind that comment, I thought you meant our eagle had left.
Good morning!
Packing up to head home. Great to see the eagle in the nest. Was great to meet everyone this weekend.

Shoot---a few mimutes too late to catch our gal at home! Hopefully, she'll be b-a-c-k!!! Nest is looking good, isn't it? Shirley and her crew SHOULD drive out and get a better look now that it's not raining---finally!
Morning eagle Dudettes and Dudes!
Hey, Crunch---about your comment that disappeared last night---we say "the blogger cop ate my comment'!!! It happens sometimes!
Shar and Thelma--you gals made really good time going home!! Bet Buddy and Buphals and the rest of the crowd was REALLY happy to see you!
Guess what I found in my mail when I got home last night?? The White House birthday greetings for my mom's 90th b-day which was supposed to have arrived in JUNE!!!!!!! Really on the ball, aren't they? NOT. No-blah-blah-ba-ma---JMHO.
MORNIN' HEDGIE!---I read about your getting JACK'S box!---Bet it is beautiful!----Aren't you the lucky one!!
NOTE: WHITE HOUSE GREETINGS OFFICE IS SWAMPED
The Obama White House is informing citizens requesting greeting cards that it is currently taking "several months" for the request to reach the Greetings Office and be mailed out. While the Greetings Office is unable to guarantee on time arrival of greeting cards, they promise it will arrive eventually.
Yeah...well, eventually can be too late when someone is turning 90!!! I followed their request rules......again, JMHO!
BTW---for those not with us last night---Sandra is doing great!!! Unfortunately, Tom was under the weather so wasn't able to make it.
Wonder how Sissy is doing at the Zoo??? Heard any news about a panda kisnapping??? Mits should have slipped in there to surprise her!
Good Afternoon All! Winds have taken away the rains I hope. I slept in and feel great! Good to have had a visit this am hour and glad you all got to see it.
12 Noon and a good Sunday afternoon to everyone. Missed our eagles, but noticed the gross orange lettering is GONE from the Still cam! I mentioned that yesterday at NCTC~~~maybe they heard us!
Was just going to plug in camera & work on pics.
My spirits are a little dampened from a disturbing call from daughter about her job. They are "reorganizing" and taking all her lab workers away from her! She will retain title and salary, but what's the deal? She learned this over phone by a supervisor & has mtg. Monday. Sucks.
Need an eagle fix! Will check BWO.
I think all pandas are accounted for as I look at the cams. Honey crate in the den but one is outside!
I hope Sissy, Tom and Mattie are having fun! Especially with the large eagle statue in their trunk! lol
LOL---typo----kisnapping supposed to be kidnapping, but know that Sissy would like either one!!!
Good afternoon, everyone.
Arrived home with no trouble. Misty rain all the way.
Want to thank all the eagle momsters and dadsters who made my big adventure so much fun. What a lovely group of people. So nice to meet so many and be able to put faces and names together. Please enjoy the remainder of the weekend and may our most favorite teams win.
Cheers,
Judie
Lowreeda, what does your daughter do? Will she have to do everything without any help?? Sucks big time.
The orange lettering was gone when the cam came back up after last weekends' blue image!!
Lunch time for me....
BBILW
Judie, glad you are home safely. So proud of you making this adventurous trip! You go, gal! Great to meet you and look forward to future get-togethers!! Despite the cruddy weather, I think we all had fun!!
OMG---I saw a ray of sun---hope it means more is coming!!
Have my Redskins sweatshirt on---sure hope that bodes well, too! GO SKINS!
Sun is starting to shine through!
WHoo HOo.......
That means that Megan's pumpkin patch is getting dry!
We are home also. Had breakfast at Betty's. Randy Robinson and Sandy Burk were there with another couple
I had a Belgain waffle with cinnamon apples caramel and whipped cream. I was in heaven.
The weekend was great even though the weather was bad. This is the first time in the 13 years that the weather was bad. I am blaming it on Jim. He hates to get wet.
Will check back in later.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSEPH.
Oh Judie said cheers. I will drink to that. Hey Mits I had a gin and tonic in your honor last night. Don't ask what I had Friday night.
Oh by the way everyone. We got classy and you were glasses people not bottle people
You can ask me what Ceil had to drink Friday night as I was counting glasses of wine and MT bottle! lol
Such a fun weekend.. lots of laughing!
Sure did think about all of you that weren't there - wishing that you were.
Brighter out now but still windy.
**A Colorado sheriff says the runaway balloon incident was a publicity stunt. We all voted that it could be and it was!!
Shirley
Are you in that recliner?
Okay, Baltimore contingent has checked in----and making me hungry! Ceil, I also had a G&T last night! And I DIDN'T count your glasses of wine Fri.!!! Is MM back in her roost or still with you?? Bet you will burn up the phone lines with Mits, filling her in on all the fun she missed!
Lynn I just had a few of your pizzelles. They are delicious.
Jo wish I had counted.
Loved the raptors and the critters show was great. They lost their Dolly around Christmas last year and they have the new baboon. It's name is Elizabeth. He named it after his mother. He said she still is not talking to him.
Iris the little sweatsuit for Ben is adorable. Thank you so much. Sorry you did not make it too dinner on Saturday.
Lynn we dropped MM off.
Looked at all the pictures I think. Wanda and Margy. Did I miss any? Will try to see if I can get ours on within the next couple of days.
Yep, Ceil, loved the animals---except tarantula---did NOT look at it!
You saw all the pics posted so far....I'll work on mine soon, too.
We saw the show ahead of you guys and when I saw that I looked around to see if you were there. Forgot to tell you that he had one.
When we were at the show and the Python was brought out of the container, Anthony my 5 yr old sitting so still waiting on the S N A K E ..
said so loudly "Oh My Goodness"!
He was all eyes!
They all liked the bouncing baby baboon the bestest!
Just a quick check back. Happy everyone seems to be where they belong and safely -- need to hear from Shirley and her crew.
Off to make sure I have clean SHEETZ for tonight after BACON PASTA.
Judie
Just when the Skins are FINALLY starting to DO something, CBS is having technical difficulties....having to just listen on radio...argh! Ravens' showing now instead on screen---hope they can pull this one out!
Okay---broadcast is back up---whew!
Oh, Judie----that will be the big joke for this year for sure!!!
I am home. Yes, Jo, I am in my recliner. Turned on the Redskins game. Maybe I shouldn't have.
We did not come back the same way we went. Went the north route--ended up on 495 to 95, got on Route 1 when 95 backed up. Much better than the route we took there.
It was a delightful weekend, thanks to everyone who planned and set up everything. It was so nice to see so many of the Momsters and Dadsters.
Hunter wanted to make sure we got home with the picture he won--we did. He loved the animal show.
Well, game stunk, as usual..........this is going to be a very long, disappointing season...........grrrr.
No, Lynn did not look at the trantula! Lynn, Kathryn told you that she would let you know when it was safe to look again, but we were not sure you heard.
Both Susan and Hunter held it, but I did not! I can look, but do not want to touch!
That was one bouncing baby baboon.
Maybe Ravens are going to win....2 mins. left w/ score 31-30! Sorry, Deb, but gotta go w/ the game closest to home this time!
Hi to all of you that I got to see this weekend and those that weren't there. I missed about half of the gathering, but sure enjoyed the part I was there for and so did my Cousin Barbara. So good to meet Judie and Shirley and Margy...in person!!! Next year I'm bringing Dean and HE can drive home!!! The weather was REALLY nasty all the way back to Red Lion.
Thanks to all who have posted pictures and Wanda, your video was terrific! Thanks to NCTC for loaning me on of their scooters so I could get around. My own scooter is allergic to RAIN!!!
Love, hugs and prayers to you all!
Ceil, Barb and I are glad you liked the little sweatsuit we sent to Ben. It was just to cute to pass it by.
33-31 Ravens now.....
Nope, Shirley, didn't hear Kathryn! Did she and Suzi have a good time?? Did YOU????
Whoops...read that score wrong.....Minn is up, not Balt. ARGH! But Ravens are trying....and have the ball....
THis is very confusing with both teams being purple!!!
All hinges now on a field goal at 2 seconds.....
Shucks, he missed. Vikes win....congrats, Deb. Sorry Baltimore gang.
BOo Hoo for our Ravens!
WHOA DEB!!----I think I just aged 10 years!!----CONGRATS!!
Wowsie Pay Dirt for an Eagle Fix

It was so good to see you again. Don't think I will use Mapquest again for directions to the Clarion, though. Came right through Annandale on the way home. Too bad we did not go that way!
Sunday, October 18, 2009 4:33:00 PM
Yes, we all had a good time. Hunter wants to go back next year.
Judie, I think I saw a Sheetz store near Annandale. You should check it out. You could get a good sandwich there, and some gas for your car.
Cool, Shirley!
LOL---I found Ceil's tag on my coat when I hung it up! We give really good hugs, don't we??
Iris, glad I finally got to meet you!! And your cuz, too!
So now we just need to hear from Bev and Tom and Mattie, seems like everyone else is home.
Just started watching TENN at NEW ENGLAND-----The field is SNOW COVERED!!---
But no sheets at the Sheetz!!
MEGAN!---Bet they will stay until the ZOO closes!!---still chilly here---but no rain or snow!!--Did you win anything last night???
Yes, Iris. Enjoyed meeting you. I am glad we finally made it to the Friday night doings. Funny how you think you are going to be early and you end up being late, but we did finally get there.
One of Bob's beautiful pictures, Norma:) Bob is so thoughful to share so many pictures with us, he brought quite a few.
Iris, I hope your cousin enjoys all of those ribs. A feast for several days!
A definite nip in the air today. Still cold when I got home, but no snow.
Will reports that the recliner was comfortable for him this weekend. I am sure he managed to keep it warm. There was a quilt spread over it and a comforter on the floor near it when I got back.
MEGAN---I haven't seen any of BOB'S
PICS that I didn't like!!--you have a good prize---
Interesting about the Balloon Boy. I was already wondering when I heard the little boy respond to Blitzer on Larry King. Too many people want their own reality show. It is too bad what some people will do to their children to get that kind of thing.
RANDY MOSS--from WV is playing for the PATRIOTS---still snowing!!
Isn't that the truth, Shirley? Exploitation for sure. Wonder if Child Services will get involved? Heard one critic saying that the parents did nothing to get the boy to a restroom or anything when he got sick on live TV---twice! Didn't they get enough exposure on the Wife Swap show??? People are crazy.
Sounds like Will commandeered your recliner for sure!
I am very happy with my bunny rabbit Bob Quinn picture! And my calendar!

Pretty arrogant to think you can maintain control of everything when you have reporters and police interviewing the children.
Police are now saying that they just went along with the story to get their trust and see what would happen.
That was smart on the part of the police! I thought the Swap show had already aired....???
I think it has aired. I think they may have been on more than once. Anderson Cooper said that he had seen the "Wife Swap" episode. He seemed embarrassed to admit he had watched it!
Maybe there is a second show, and maybe that is the one that has not aired. Would not thing ABC would want to do that.
Stronghunter, those ribs came to PA with me and Dean and I had them on Sat night for dinner. They were still delicious!!!
Mema Jo, you were right, I should have left the fries in WV...they just don't heat up very well, so I baked a sweet potato to have with the ribs.
Love, hugs and prayers for all who need them.
Great Iris! I knew that was a multimeal order of ribs.
Considering my cousin paid the same amount of money for a single crabcake and a spinach salad, I think feeding three people with one order of ribs was a good deal! Besides which they were EXCELLENT ribs! Remind me to do that again - but not soon.
Eagles in the nest!!
EAGLES!!!
Good evening my eagle budlets!
Judie, just tried to post that Power Point again, and it looks like it actually went through this time. The teacher had said to send it to her by e-mail, but I was afraid that would not work either. I am going to see if I can get the program updated.
Poof--both of them.
POOF!
Hi Paula!
Well, this has been one of the laziest days of my life. Internet was down most of the day. I slept off and on until noon, then I got up, brought my laptop into the bedroom and have spent the rest of the day watching chic flicks. It has been a wonderful day! These Shepherdstown trips wear my butt out but how glorious it was yesterday to see that eagle! Really blessed. It was also glorious to see most of my eagle buds but those of you who weren't there were sorely missed!
Judie and Shirley, I hate that you didn't get to see an eagle yesterday but if you come back in May/June and there are babies, you are guaranteed a sighting!
Sissy, Mattie and Tom left DC about an hour ago. Not sure if they will drive all the way home tonight or stop but I am thinking they will probably stop.
Oh, no...Mattie going to play hookie from school tomorrow??? Of course, I'm sure her grades are excellent so it won't hurt!
I am going to the sofa w/ an ice pack---bum knee is really swollen and achy...too much rain and dampness!
Finished off second-half of my steak alonmg with a baked tater. Had second-half of fri. dessert last night before bed....so made some apple dumplings today ( cheated---used some phyllo dough I had in freezer; too tired to make pie crust!) so will have another good treat tonight! BBL.
Do rest that knee, Lynn.
Sissy was definitely in Panda heaven today. She sent me a pic of Tai on the phone! Mattie had planned already on missing tomorrow. Just a day off!
You all just can't take a big day. I got up day and was ready to roll again. Wife woke up last nite with leg cramps. Had to get her a pill. To much walking yesterday.
Don't be too hard on us, Crunch. We manage to do pretty well.
One assignment this week is to take hundreds of pictures and learn to use the features of my camera that I haven't yet mastered. That should be fun! I haven't read the whole manual yet--that is part of the assignment. There are things about light and color, etc.
Yes you all do.but both of us here are most likely older. I know I don't show it. ha ha ha
Well, you are possibly older, Crunch, but I am a senior citizen.
OK here it is Me 74 & she 77. As of 9/5 & 9/25 of this year.
You have a few years on me, Crunch, but not as many as you think. My age is posted on my blog for all the world to see. I was born the day after Pearl Harbor.
I am still working full time and taking two classes to boot, so there!
You two looked pretty good this weekend. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. I expect you had a pretty long drive.
You are doing good. I don't let myself think that I'am old. Some times your body wants to come in and tell you differant.
Hi Crunch, don't know if I met you this weekend, I skipped out early so I could get home before dark, but I turned 74 on 9/4 and my hubby will be 77 on 11/30. We're usually good to go, but like Lynn, my knees are none too good so I use a scooter some of the time.
True, Crunch. Our bodies sometimes play mean tricks on us.
Watching Mystery Masterpiece
BBL
Well, I am 47 and I am telling all of you I am wore slam out! :)
I think staying active and using our minds helps to keep us in shape physically and mentally. I probably don't do too well with the physical part. Still need to do the exercises the doctor gave me.
I think Martinsburg is about 52 miles from here and what ever the rest of the mileage is. I think it was about 1 hr from here. Maybe a little more. So not bad.
Whoops! an hour early.
47 your still a kid
Yeah, we spent 4 hours on a trip that Mapquest said should have been 2 hours and 22 minutes, but I don't think that was our fault; I blame that one on Mapquest. You don't make good time going 35 mph on back roads.
I think she did a lot of jumping around!
BTW FYI
My body is NOT keeping up with my mind!
But I still get where I'm going! lol
Same here, Jo, but I will have to admit I haven't been doing the exercises because I couldn't remember where I had put the paper that told me what to do.
good evening all
Hi, Thelma!
I swear I have needed this day to bounce back from yesterday. Our internet went out and I was watching the Skins lose : ( and the next think I know I'm waking up and it's dark.
That a girl Jo tell though's kid's and tell them to keep working so we get payed at the end of the month.
At least I did get in on the long visit this morning.
Evening everyone. having trouble with my e-mail so I am going to shut down for the night. if you sent me a message and do not get an answer you will know why. Pleasant dreams
Shirley - I believe you because I just found my exercise plan where I must have placed it a while back.
T-Bird - same thing happened to me lol
Lazy day!
Bob & Doris it was great that you found us yesterday! We need to have a
Tony's Pizza soon! Have not been up to Greencastle for almost a year but still remember the pizza.
Who took Diego.... You did say Sissy went to the DC zoo - right?
WOW Snowman Cam!
Happy Halloween and a BOO to you!
Sorry I didn't reply to you earlier Normabyrd. The internet went out. We got home last night about midnight.
I bet that raccoon in the PA woods weighs about 20 lbs ! Really large!
I am just checking out the cams which are available to us in the evening.
I am taking a break soon to watch the
(non-commercial) Mystery Theater.
Starting to dry out with the rain being finished.
Jo We alway's went to the Hagerstown place by airport. We never been to the one in Greencastle;
Jo They redid the Tony's in Greencastle. It's alot biger now.
I had a grandson who used to live in Greencastle and that is why we went on up 81. We had never stopped there by the airport.
Would have been closer..
Yea it's on rout 11 there. That was the only Tony's for years. Then they open up the second place in Greencastle
Will all this talk - I could eat some pizza!
Off to watch my TV show
Be Back to say good night later....
I'am here and there on here.
Deer at Okie cam.
Poof.
I guess I better sneak on here and say Hello ♥
I have enjoyed reading all the comments about everyone's day and stories about the last few days also.
I finished my steak and my dessert from Rumsey Tavern today at work and am about to have another piece of Hedgie's Chocolate Cake. ☺
Good Night to any Early Roosters.
Shirley I need an assignment like yours with my camera....so much to learn about it.
There are some bright twinkly things in the night sky. Unfamiliar. Could they be stars? ☺
I would look, Margy, but I am too comfy in my recliner right now.
That is one reason I decided to take this class, Margy. I am also supposed to get my students started taking pictures. Maybe I will see if they can bring cameras. Many of them probably have cameras.
Deer at Snowman cam.
Thanks for the deer alert.
Wait until you see all the snow in the winter at that cam, Shirley, and the close ups of many deer.
I was out on a visit, that's how I came to see there were stars.
Just take my word for it, and stay in that recliner!
Magpies don't lie ☺
Good! Glad there are stars. George is snuggled up here with me. We are both purring.
Good! Glad there are stars. George is snuggled up here with me. We are both purring.
LOL, Margy---been a long time since we've seen anything sparkly but rain drops, right? Glad you like the cake!
Have had my bath and getting ready to turn in. Another early morning w/ another apptmt. at VA for SIL. Y-a-w-n!
Hey, Crunch, tell Doris I woke up during the night w/ leg cramps, too and also had to take a pill! They are running low---can't get them anymore for leg cramps thanks to stupid FDA!
Will see you fine folks tomorrow afternoon sometime. Prayers for all, and again thanks for such a great weekend! Peace.
We have a Meteor Shower coming up in the early morning pre-dawn hours, Wednesday, Oct 21 - the Orionids. Could be good, one never knows.
Orion, pretty much due East after midnight, is where the radiant is, so that would be the best place to start looking. Maybe as many as 30 an hour. We have bundled up at our respective roosts on other meteor mornings with few sightings...but some of us keep going for it ☺
Good Night Lynn...hope any aches and pains magically disappear overnight...with the nudge of a few prayers .....
xo
My insurance card finally came. Was supposed to be here before the first of October.
I'm glad Hedgie mentioned hot bath, that reminds me that is on my schedule tonight too, I think...
Evening Everyone. Spent most of the
day watching mostly awful football games!Heard an announcer say that Redskins' brass will take the play calling away from Coach Zorn because he is too busy w/team to bhe doing that too!!!!! DUH!!!Is Snyder going to do it????
Kinda too tired to get all my pictures done----still have to dwnld from another memory card in camera and edit.
Went thru the new calendar and boy, I can think of some great views of Patuxent River that could be in there!Also read the Free NCTC journal. No woder they gave them away---2 years old!
Sharon, you have to let us know if you hear about Sissy getting home with a Panda, as well as that Eagle!!!!
Good Shirley...
I was happy to read that Hunter enjoyed himself and wants to come back next year ☺
I want to wish everyone a good rest of the evening, and I don't mind that Judie hasn't caught the Night Bandit for me because tonight it doesn't matter much, I don't have to work Monday, or the next few mornings either in fact.
November and December, back to night shifts for me :(
Paula if you are around, the deets are still at the snowman cam...(intentional typo...☺ )
Hope your day went well at your Mom's house today
So glad that some of the Momsters got to see the Eagles this morning, AND this evening.
Loretta, I bet Frank enjoyed checking out the new/old Mercury in the daylight today ☺ Without rain...
I hope there will be a picture of it when you download your pictures.
I have to disappear for a little while, will be back on later to check comments and say Good Night again...Rest well, Pals, hope the Night Bandit is not too hard on you.
TTFN xo xo
2 deer at Snowman cam. They would probably not like the bear, don't you think.
Wanda, great Open House video on FB. I got so busy sending it to Kathryn and Susan that I forgot to make a comment on there.
Deer or something else at Snowman?
Ah, Deets! Thanks Margy! :)
I too enjoyed reading everyone's comments about yesterday...was really a great day...
Didn't get quite as much done today as I wanted at Mom's, I showed her car to 3 people and went for 3 test drives! But it was something that had to be done...hope to have it sold this week.
Haven't touched my pics yet...did get to look at them last night, will try to get to them one night this week.
Trying to get at least one load of laundry done before I lose all my steam tonight!
Oh, and I also had the rest of my steak and taters and green beans tonight for dinner!
Oh and Shirley, I took home those last 2 pieces of pecan pie! Thanks for bringing it, it is delicious!
Glad you took it, Paula. I got upstairs before I remembered it and did not want it to go to waste. I figured someone would take it.
I might have to go get another one.
I see Norma was asking about her "bottle" picture. Actually, I think someone mentioned that we put all the pics in glasses on the tables....each table had 3 or 4 buddies. I printed out pics from various sources...some were sent to me, some I got on facebook, and the others I got from our Momsters album, which is where Norma and Mits' pics came from!
I am so glad your family had a good time, Shirley.
Oh cool, there are pumpkins at the snowman cam!
Temperature has never changed there! Strange!
I am home from work, stopped at Grocery store on the way home. I am tired for some reason tonight, so off to bed for me.
Night everyone!
Night, Deb.
Hello and goodnight, Deb.
Shirley, I said something about that temp the other night...
Freeze warning tonight!
I think you did. It has never changed.
Are you watching Ch. 7, too?
Good Night Deb, and to everyone else too.
I forgot to mention this :
Thanks for the lovely Eagle trinkets, the cup, feather, key ring, glow stick, Gold Card with "I came for the Eagles but Stayed for the Friendships I have made," and the hand sanitizer!
I know there were several involved in this little goody package, and I really appreciate the gifts. ☺ ♥
God Bless Us, Every One
I appreciate them as well. Thank you.
I hope all the sales go well regarding your Mother's house and car, Paula... ♥
Good Night xoxox ☺ ♥
Night, Margy!
Yup, Shirley, have it on after I watched Brothers and sisters...
I usually watch Ch 4 tho...
And thank you, Margy!
So glad you could finally join us on Saturday.
OK, my laundry is finally ready to fold. Gonna do that and hit the hay...I am slam wore out!
Catch ya'll tomorrow!
Hugs to all ♥
I usually watch 7. Maybe I favor ABC because I once worked for an ABC affiliate.
I'm waiting for some laundry, too, Paula.
Good night. See you tomorrow.
Just caught the end of game---Atlanta beat Da Bears! BOO
BTW, I had leftover steak, potatoes, & green beans, too as a late lunch or early supper! Yum.
Also want the give thanks to those that put together our goody cups and contents. That was a lot to do!
Fubby brought them in from car this AM and soon noticed that feathers were all over! Kitties had struck!
I had a double feature this evening of my Mystery Theater... Just finished & will now close down for the day.....
Good Night All
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all wants/needs and of
thankfulness!
(((hugs))) ♥
