Thanks Ceil and Steve!

Mits said...

morning Ceil, thanks for the alert:):):)

ceil said...

I am at work and had a chance to look in and saw that there was a new thread. Then the phone rang. How dare these people. Don't they know I have to read the comments.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Ladies and gents...

After careful consideration, I think we are going to get a less expensive room in Martinsburg for Saturday night. I have a reservation at the Clarion for Saturday night and thought I would ask if anyone on here wants it before I cancel it.

deb said...

Happy Birthday, Wanda!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All! I am up/slowly running! lol I need to go over to earlier thread and see what is going on here. Sissy be sure to find your other accommodation first - don't want you to be without a room.

Happy Birthday Wanda ! Enjoy your day and hope the year ahead is a great one for you

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I don't think I have seen my hummers for a couple of days. Maybe they headed on down the road.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Raining here...rained all night. Had lots of rain while we were gone. This is strange weather for Texas.

♫♫♫ Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Wanda
Happy Birthday to you......
and many moooorrrre!♫♫♫

Hope your day is just fantastic! Love you!


I also want to say

NORMA....a happy belated Birthday to you! I was celebrating your birthday in New Mexico and missed wishing you a Happy Birthday. Hope it was GREAT! Love you!

Sounds like you had a great visit this morning from Belle and Lib. Maybe I will see them this evening. Have missed seeing them.

So sorry that Open House is supposed to be rainy, however, Saturday night should ROCK! Have fun!

Mits said...

Finland cam is not working:(

Lolly said...

Nope, no balloon ride for us! Just watched many rise into the sky. We went for the special shapes and that is soooo cool! Jacob's favorite was Darth Vader. There were a bunch that were my favorite! lol You get to be on the field with them, walking amongst them, looking into the balloons as they are inflated. It is very exciting.

Jack and I did take a balloon ride when he turned 50. It was over the Ft. Worth botanical garden and north Ft. Worth. Would do it again! Jacob and Joseph will just have to go with their parents or when they are older. Not taking on that responsibility!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - where are you finding some translations for Chinese meanings. I was trying to find Roly Poly but came up with nothing!

Mema Jo said...

lol I like Chang Gang!!!

Lolly said...

Hi Mits! Been thinking about that new Grandbaby of yours that is due! What an exciting time! What a miracle!

Mits said...

yes, Lolly grandkids rock:)

Lolly said...

I was right there beside Laurel when both Joseph and Jacob were born. Had to wait in the waiting room for Zach. But, what an experience!!!

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though there will be Frost on the Pumpkins tonight! Very encouraging to see how many morning sightings were seen of our Regal Couple

Mits said...

I vote for the name Ka Cing$$$$$$$

Mits said...

only person in the delivery room is Kevin....:)

Lolly said...

LOL Jo, every time I try to translate from English to Chinese I come up with the Chinese script. Not what I want!

Mema Jo said...

Mits - Was Kevin or IS Kevin in the
delivery room?

Lolly said...

When it was time for Laurel to deliver Joseph, Joey put his arm around my shoulder and said "Come on , Mom!" I was sooooo thrilled! I was the photograper!

With Jacob, not only was I the photographer, but the doctor had me hold Laurel's knee. If she had a third, she wanted her Daddy in the room. (Sitting off to one side!)

Mema Jo said...

Just a reminder that there are many many buses at Open House and many many umbrellas! Nothing can dampen our Eagle Spirits!

Mema Jo said...

I have dental - just a cleaning - this afternoon. The sun tried to peek through but didn't succeed for long.

Mema Jo said...

I like that one too, Mits !
Ka Cing$$$$$$$ Ka Cing$$$$$$$

Mema Jo said...

Going over to hotmail... Lots of messages.....

BBILW

stronghunter said...

Thanks Ceil and Steve.

So far, so good at the doctor's office. Orthopedic doctor greeted me by saying,"I hear you are falling apart." I am sure he uses that line frequently, but I appreciated the relaxed tone.

Diagnosis is arthritis with no sign of anything more sinister. Got a prescription for Naproxen and some exercises to do. He said that teachers are terrible patients because we don't have time to take care of ourselves. Nice man. Knows the right kind of things to say.

He said that there is no need to recommend physical therapy because I wouldn't do it anyway. Will do an MRI if it seems necessary, but not now. I go back in 3 weeks.

The next appointment is at 2:45.

Feeling a little better.

stronghunter said...

Lynn, I am sure your friend is grateful for your help when she was having a stroke. It it is always good to know others are looking out for you.

Lynne2 said...

WOO HOO just stopping in for a second...
Just saw a beautiful pair of red tailed hawks circling the yard, nice a close up!
Well, looks like the forecast for our camping trip is going to be be really bad and YEAH the good news is Open House is looking better and better for us to be there!

stronghunter said...

Looking forward to meeting you, Lynne.

Lynne2 said...

Same here!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - 1st one down with decent news
2nd one to go! I am thinking of you!

Headed out the door to dental
Tomorrow it will be the eyes ...

What did he say Shirley?
Falling Apart? LOL

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Daddy used to say he was falling apart at the seams!!

Lolly said...

Shirley, sounds like a great doctor. He knows teachers!

Sure hope the meds prescribed help out!

Lolly said...

Have been searching for an English/Chinese translation that will work and have not been successful.

stronghunter said...

I decided to see this doctor because I had been to see him with Kathryn when she broke her leg and liked him.

stronghunter said...

Bought one of those heat things for my shoulder. Will decide if I like it. Expensive.

stronghunter said...

Going to relax for a little while before heading out again.

paula eagleholic said...

Fish crows still at BWO

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

In google, I typed in Chinese meanings of names and got a place for what I found.

paula eagleholic said...

Here's a translator I found...

Jo, Roly poly doesn't translate well!

English to Chinese </a

paula eagleholic said...

You can also google chinese baby names!

Mema Jo said...

I'm back - new toothbrush for my prize!

I'll try that one Paula/Sharon .. Like Lolly said it usually gives you script. I will try "pudgy".

Mema Jo said...

Luney wants to play but don't think Lun Lun does! First time in a long time that I've seen him awake! I forgot - is Luney a boy or girl?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Luney is a boy, Mema Jo!

Mema Jo said...

so we have boys: Tai, Luney and Diego!

Thanks Sharon..

Mits said...

thank heaven for little "boys":)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, Buddy the Bassett Hound escaped last night and rolled in poop. Came home smelling like a rose and had to get a bath. Today, he escaped yet again. I drove around the neighborhood thinking that if I didn't find him, I would have to move back to WV. I came back by the house for the umpteenth time and he had knocked the garbage over in the driveway. He does not smell like poop today, thank God!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Oh Mits, that is so true!

paula eagleholic said...

So, Sharon, he smells like garbage instead? LOL

floralgirl said...

Good grief, what is wrong with that dog?

Mits said...

now how is he escaping?????

paula eagleholic said...

CALENDARS should be here Friday

paula eagleholic said...

I have to lock my front storm door so my dogs don't escape!

Mema Jo said...


Page for Diego's name suggestions

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, in having so many dogs, we have to tie 2 out front and 1 out back. I had Buphals out the back door (same thing as last night - DUH ME!) I let Buddy in the front door and he went straight to the back door and I guess it wasn't latched and he got right out. Maybe after this today, I will learn to secure all doors at all times. No, he doesn't smell like garbage because he just gotten to it.

Mema Jo said...

It is a wonder the other dogs don't go right along with Buddy. I think Buddy is trying to tell you all something...
I wonder what it is?

floralgirl said...

I know what it is....he wants hot dogs for every meal...

Mema Jo said...

ÇŽi​pàng​ means
short and stout / dumpy / roly-poly
It is Mandarin & there is sound so you can hear the pronunciation.. cool...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

It is so funny. I left the web cam on for Sissy to watch while I went to a meeting at noon. As soon as I left the house, Buddy jumped up to my desk to see if there was anything there. He is always ready!

Mema Jo said...

My feet are going up for an hour or so.

movin said...

Have a fun day, folks.

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Afternoon, Everyone!

It's been way too long since I've been here. First things first:

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA!!!!
Hope our Costume Lady has a wonderful, best-ever Birthday!!!!

Busy with homework and house cleaning--about to try our steam cleaner on the bathroom tile. Will give you an update to let you know how well it works.

It was raining earlier this morning, so I'm a happy camper! My favorite weather! Thank God, it stopped long enough for the gardeners to mow the lawn--perfect!

Haven't been able to catch up here yet, so hope everyone is doing well. Prayers for everyone being said. The nest is looking good!
It appears that our eagles have yanked the "tree" that used to be in the nest. I can tell they've been bringing in a lot more sticks, too.

Gotta go grab a bite of lunch, and finish cleaning the extra bedroom. Hope you all have a great afternoon, and I'll try to check back later this afternoon. Take care! :o]

Mema Jo said...


Link to Open House brief description from NCTC Journal

hedgie said...

Hello gang. Finally got into mail in basic version and on here, as well...afraid to try to open much at this point. Certainly not trying any links, attachments or cams until later this evening!!
Sissy, did you have any luck finding a room in Martinsburg? Was going to give same advice Jo did---don't cancel until you know!! It's Apple Harvest Festival here-----plus Shepherd Homecoming, and doubt that S'town has enough hotel rooms to accomodate all those alums---so it might be a bit difficult! Try CharlesTown if you need to.

hedgie said...

Happy Birthday again to Wanda, in case she hasn't made it back to old thread!!

hedgie said...

Andy, glad you got rain! Please don't wear yourself out so that you can't enjoy your company (I know, I know---look who's talking!! Yeah!)

T-Bird said...

Wanda, my friend, happy, happy, happy birthday.

stronghunter said...

Hello Friends,

I'm back from the second doctor's visit. They do not think anything really scary is happening to me. I feel much better. Surprisingly, my blood pressure is good. I thought it would be high with all the worrying I was doing.

I do have some more lab work to take care of. I hate to miss so much time from work, but I have to get this taken care of, so I think I will do that tomorrow.

Must feed George. He thinks he is being badly neglected.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, my goodness...THANK YOU, THANK YOU...my heart is just filled with greetings and joy from all of you!

I drove down to the Clarion a while ago and there is a large parking area for all of us at the side entrance of the BANQUET ROOMS. It is to the left of the Clarion and is designated as "Banquet Rooms". Just a short walk to our Salon C Room from the parking lot. Will post photos on Just for Fun in a minute.
Rain is good...it will not dampen our spirits. Like Sharon said earlier...the Eagle Express is dry, heated, and plenty of room. All the comforts that we need and a windshield wiper to clear the way for sighting Lib & Belle. The shuttle buses will pick you up at the Eagle Express and take you to where you want to go and drop you back off when you are done with other activities.

stronghunter said...

Sharon, you will have to ask Susan about Sassafras and the horse poop. It is quite a story.

Sassafras liked to roll in anything stinky. She really loved stinky sneakers, too. The stinkier, the better. She would just stick her nose into the shoe and inhale blissfully. She was something else!

Costume Lady said...

Well, Shirley, Sassafras would have loved Dustin this past weekend. We kept smelling a horrific odor. Capt. Gene finally told Dustin he needed to take a shower. He said it wasn't him that smelled, but his sneakers. Sure enough, took them and his socks to the laundry room and washed them in bleach water and sprayed the house with Fabreeze...house, once again, smelled like a normal country home! Never had that odor before, hope to never have it again!

Mema Jo said...

Hi B-day gal! Everyone makes you feel so special, don't they! So many true friends - it is so wonderful!

Thanks for checking out the parking lot! Where will the Eagle Express be Saturday 10 am -- out front or around on the side where cars are to be parked for the dinner?

stronghunter said...

Sassafras would have been in heaven! She loved Tom's sneakers best of all. Would smell them and roll on them.

Mits said...

wonder how Megan's day went today??

Mema Jo said...

Don't know what time Megan's day started. She was here around 2:50 - at least there wasn't any rain to spoil any activities on her schedule. Did
you ever hear her say about the hours

Mits said...

no, not sure what her hours are?

floralgirl said...

Who me???

floralgirl said...

My hours are differennt every day. Depends on how many groups I have scheduled for that day. And today was very hectic, but went perfectly. One of my favorite schools, nice teachers, nice parents, and great kids. My legs are sore, lot of walking and running....

hedgie said...

Thanks, birthday gal, for that excellent parking news!! Really good for us who have trouble walking long distances!
One of the most common explanations for that horrible foot odor is that it's an interaction between body chemistry and manmade materials used in shoes. Recommended remedy is to wear leather!!
But I had a problem with WHITE HOSE doing it! Best reason for getting away without wearing them when I worked!! Of course, once we started wearing colored scrubs, everyone stopped wearing white stockings!

hedgie said...

Megan, glad you got through the day okay, even without your help! Thank goodness the weather was decent!

stronghunter said...

Checked out the Delta nest. It is really a mess, and I am trying to figure out what is in it. It almost looks like a little bird has a nest in the eagle nest and is sitting on it, but I do not see how that makes sense this time of the year. Must be something else.

Looks like there are going to be some major changes at that website.

Mits said...

there you are Megan, must have missed you earlier:)

Mits said...

EAGLE!

stronghunter said...

Eagle

Mits said...

LOOKS LIKE b

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I was thinking Belle too. Thanks for the shout out!

floralgirl said...

Thanks, weather was perfect. There's just no option, you have to make it work, and if does something goes wrong, it's all on me.

floralgirl said...

POOF!

Mits said...

well if anyone gives you trouble, let us know, we will come up and throw pumpkins at them:)

stronghunter said...

Interesting story! Just saw this on Channel 7 in Washington.


The Skunk Whisperer

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Half-rotten pumpkins at that, ones that will really go splat!

floralgirl said...

What pals:)

Mits said...

doesn't that skunk know that "choosy mothers choose Jif"

Mits said...

BACK

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I am sitting here at my little window where the birdfeeders are. T-Bird put some bread out here for the birds. I look out the window and there is Buddy eating the bread! He is so funny. He leaves no loaf unturned for sure!

Mits said...

LIB???

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Think this is Lib!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I think if 2 or more say it, it must be true!

stronghunter said...

Basset hounds love bread almost as much as they love stinky stuff.

Mits said...

OH-OH, he is moving sticks;)

stronghunter said...

Lib is looking over his vast estate.

stronghunter said...

Both!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Belle is there now, she is in charge now!

Mits said...

BOTH

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lib just left!

Mits said...

poof and poof

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Now MT!

stronghunter said...

Cheated on supper tonight. Was at Wegmans looking for comfort food and came across the ingredients for beef stew all bagged up and in its own little pan. Smells wonderful cooking!

Mits said...

falcon chicks alone, down under....you can see the unhatched egg.

Mits said...

mmmm, sounds good:)

stronghunter said...

Probably would not go to the trouble to do all of that preparation just for myself, but I will enjoy it.

Costume Lady said...

No hot dogs in that bread for Buddy? LOL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nope, just bread! There was more that he couldn't quite reach but he sure did try!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Everyone

Wishing ALL A HAPPY BIRTHDAYS FOR THE PEOPLE I missed saying that too: I remember Norma, Bell and Wanda. If I missed anyone Happy Birthday to YOU too.

Do they have the selection anywhere to name the panda cub yet?

Mema Jo said...

Well Golly! I was eating a late dinner and missed the entire show. Really happy you all were lucky enough to see our Eagles!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Dana, good to see you on here!!!!

Costume Lady said...

I guess we will park the Eagle Express in the Parking Lot nearest the entrance to our Banquet Room.

Capt. Gene vacuumed 77 stink bugs from the dash of the Eagle Express today. Going to spray some foggers in there tonight to make sure there are no more hiding! What a pain in the butt they are this year. Have to vacuum the shop every morning. Unbelievable:(

Costume Lady said...

Miss Dana...so good to see you on here. We have been thinking and sending up prayers for you for a good long time now!

floralgirl said...

Hey Daba:) Scroll up to Jo's 2:46 post from today, she posted a link to the panda naming page.

floralgirl said...

Who the heck is Daba??? I meant Dana.

stronghunter said...

Hi Dana!!! Great to see you back1

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Sharon and Wanda been doctoring the left eye now. Things go good for awhile then blurry. Prayers for fix it all.

Thanks Megan I would have missed the comment for the page to name the cub.

wvgal_dana said...

How many times do you all think we get to put a name in?

stronghunter said...

If you have a couple of names you want me to run by my Chinese sister-in-law, let me know.

wvgal_dana said...

Tee hee Megan I love the miss spellings. It makes for fun...I knew what you mean't tee hee...

Yea Shirley you keeping yourself together or are you letting those kids tear you apart....put them in a corner lol

stronghunter said...

Doing okay, Dana. Most of my students this year are pretty good.

T-Bird said...

Hello Dana

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

YABBA DABA DO!! That was too good Megan!

wvgal_dana said...

Thelma and Buddy how goes it...Did you have Buddy on a lead today?

Mema Jo said...

Hello Dana! I go to eye DR tomorrow but just for a check up due to using the steroids.... Crossing my fingers that all is good. You and Ed get ready to stay warm - cold spell coming in.
Thinking of you both always!

Dana, I've been trying to see what Chinese name means Roly Poly... lol

Mema Jo said...

Dana tonight is Tuesday TV shows
Are you able to watch TV without it being blury?

magpie said...

I got home too late to see the evening visit but I sure enjoyed all the new pictures from the last few days and from the first of month on the Momsters album, some really great photos! Megan, you had time to see the Eagles and post pics for us AND execute the great day as Head Muckity Muck.

Glad that Birthday Girl Wanda got to see them also !

Good Evening Eagle Pals

magpie said...

The slide show feature is fun on those albums too.

Shirley, glad things were pretty much good today at the doctor's...love your first doctor's commments. Waiting on news from Judie too...

And glad to see our long lost Dana on here earlier also ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Judie
The two crimes I passed along for you to solve is 1) How to catch the Night Bandit and 2) How to figure out why Lynn ends up in the Penalty Box on her computer...

magpie said...

Boy all the mail I send, and I messed up on getting Jo's and Wands's Snail Mail cards out on time. Was a little distracted towards the end of last week, and forgot about the No-Mail Holiday...
Sorry ladies...

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Jo I was looking at Great Gift too. I'll relax on the recliner and listen to the tv some I'll see and some I'll miss.

Yep warm we need to stay.

Have to take doggie out now on lead. He can't do steps anymore. It's hard on both of us. The family is going to help us put a ramp back in for the back yard for him to go down. We have one before but when knew porch put on guy talked Ed into taking it off. BOO !!

magpie said...

There sure is a Gaze of Raccoons out at Pix Pa...missed the 7:30 shoot if there was one...

Chang Gang...like that, would be from Sharon, who likes to call Swinging Bridge, Swanging Bridge ☺

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I got my grand prize mail today on being one of the first to see our eagles! Thanks Margy! I loved that care and the sticker, but more than that -- I love your friendship!

magpie said...

time to make some phone calls, be back in a little while.
Hope Little Man enjoys his outing, Dana...all 17 pounds of him ☺

xo

Mema Jo said...

That Was a light shining in the PA woods
Almost looked like a spot light and all the raccoons ran away or went up the tree.

magpie said...

Thanks Sharon. Likewise ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Dana if you are still here!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and the calendars shipped today!

Glad your day went smoothly, Megan.

Missed the visit, had to throw the ball for the dogs and son stopped by to get paid! Gotta keep the help happy!

Mits said...

YES, thanks, Margy, I love stickers;)

T-Bird said...

Well I hope you all have a good evening.

T-Bird said...

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

magpie said...

I can only keep Pix Pa up for a few minutes at a time...you've all heard my monotonous freezing story about that. So I missed the scampering raccoons, Jo. Just checked Lake Washington, looks cool and breezy there, no eagles but it is nice to see it live.

Great Pictures from last night's Eagles Visit, Paula.....☺

paula eagleholic said...

I think that snowmancam thermometer is stuck at 38°

Mema Jo said...

Margy you always surprise me with snail mail. I love it! Don't get much mail except fliers and ads - pay bills the paperless way on line.
Love the stickers you send me!
Favorite card from you says
Just let the sun shine straight
into your heart

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Margy, I can't keep it up either, I do the refresh one.

paula eagleholic said...

I had to order a new laptop for the college kid, he broke his screen. I should have ordered 2!!

Mema Jo said...

There has not been any eagles up at Lake WA that I've been able to see and I check it out daily when I do the little burrowing owls.

Hello Paula! Frost on the Pumpkins
tonight?

Lolly said...

Hi Daba! Great to see you have been on.

Well, my work on the trailer came to a screaming halt today. We discovered our pecans were starting to be ready to be picked. Jack and I spent a good part of the day in a fine mist picking pecans. We had more that a wheelbarrow load when we decided to stop for the day. My neck was hurting from looking up! Wahoo! A pecan crop this year.

It will be hard to get to the trailer tomorrow. I LOVE picking pecans!

paula eagleholic said...

Is it gonna frost tonight?

paula eagleholic said...

Wow Lolly that's a lot of pecans! I miss the ones my grandmother used to send up...she lived in Mobile.

Glad you had a great trip!

Mema Jo said...

Sheila and her chicks are napping!

Lisa has some interesting pics on her update page.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley -
Furniture delivery WED
WHoo Hoo !

Mema Jo said...

If I win the lottery tonight I am going to get lots of new furniture - maybe a house full or maybe a smaller house! I wish, I wish, I wish....
Then we would ALL really go on a LONG
ROAD TRIP !!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hi there Margy, Paula and Lolly.

Oh I don't eat them but love the smell of pecan pie.

Oh Margy I think the poor pup is loosing weight lol

Frost Paula Frost people will be covering their flowers.

Lolly said...

Two years ago we had a fantastic crop of pecans. Our best ever. Jack lets them dry and then shells them. We had 43 gallon bags of shelled pecans. Last year no pecans, but we still have pecans in the freezer.

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - once you pick them from the trees do you enjoy hauling them for those luscious pecans?

wvgal_dana said...

OK this was fun but eyes getting tired.

Heading for recliner and something cool to drink.

Take Care
God knows who needs the prayers I send to HIM.
Have Fun Enjoy Life!

paula eagleholic said...

I better go cover em up! Thanks for the heads up, ladies!

Mema Jo said...

Off to watch TV programs

BBILW (During commercials to play catch up)

hedgie said...

Hi Dana!!! GOod to see you back with us. Did Ed's Steelers win this weekend??
I am going to submit ShangTu----it means warrior, I think! Need to check that---my female SharPei was named Shanghai Cheque (get it??), so named her daughter ShangTu (get it?). LOL! Her sons were Number One Son(who was born w/ hydrocephalus and had to be euthanized) and Key Luke.

NatureNut said...

Evening Everybody!
Had checked Shepherdstown weather on Sunday & then next Sat. was supposed to be 61. NOW, they say high of 49!!! Maybe showers~~~boo.
More layering ☺
Well there was a potential glitch in our Sat. plans. Fubby, in his zeal for antique cars, bought one & it is coming from Wisc. on SATURDAY.(I know how to drive by myself!!!!)Made a plan w/driver to deliver and get payment from neighbor. Just sent him pics of front of house & driveway. DUH!!

NatureNut said...

Glad to see Dana on here! ☺
Lolly, sounds like you were farming today. There are a couple pecan groves along hwy to my daughter's TX house. My SIL loves them, is from TN, & always has to have pecan pie for Thxgiving (as well as pumpkin).

NatureNut said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA!!!

Lolly said...

I help pick and pick them up, Jack does the shelling. After they dry, he starts shelling them while watching football. He has an electric pecan sheller. He cracks them outside and then brings them in to complete the shelling and picking. He gets beautiful pecan halves. Yummy!

Lolly said...

We have 5 pecan trees down front, only 4 produce good pecans. Have one tree in the back yard, but the squirrels can get into it and it is already picked clean. Trees down front are away from the house and the oak trees. They are also wired, to scare the squirrels away.

paula eagleholic said...

What do you wire them with, Lolly?

paula eagleholic said...

My pix is really dark, can't see much!

hedgie said...

Lolly, dear, you may eat any and all of my share of pecans!! Only nuts I like are peanuts, cashews and macadamias!!
Too bad acorns aren't people food---i could supply all momsters and dadsters this year!
Loretta...glad you got that situation worked out!! What did Frank buy???
Does he want me to bring him the info on the Norwalk and the Futurliner to look at????

Lolly said...

Jack has wired the trees with a pet sized fence charger. He has put two rings going around each of the trees. We see squirrels run past our trees to the neighbors. lol

Lolly said...

Lynn.......pecans are soooo good! I love to bake with them, love pecan pie, season them to use in salads and have a great recipe for green beans that has pecans.

paula eagleholic said...

Raccons at pix now...

so is that a little charge there for the squirrels, Lolly? bet it's funny to see them run past.

Remote at pix was on, not sure what's there!

paula eagleholic said...

I love pecans...think they're my fav nut

paula eagleholic said...

Yum, I had to go get a handful out of the freezer, Lolly!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't!

floralgirl said...

I do......love pecans.
Yaba daba do- just knew someone would go there. lol...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lolly, do you need our mailing addresses?? :)

floralgirl said...

I think she does....

Lolly said...

LOL Would love to share if we lived closer!

Lolly said...

All our family gets pecans at Christmas when we have a good crop, as well as our neighbors.

Lolly said...

lol Megan! I looked at the keyboard to see why your typo happened. Dana is now Daba!

floralgirl said...

The worst part is I saw the typo and fixed it...except I deleted the n instead of the b :)

paula eagleholic said...

And you can't eat just one~!

Lolly said...

Yeah, when I bake quite a few go into my mouth. lol

Lolly said...

Watching Dancing!

Judie said...

Hi everyone,

Had a really tiring day today.
Too sleepy to try to catch up on all the doings. Did see Dana has returned - so nice to have you back.

So, turning my light off but leaving the night light on for othrs. Someone please take care of the security system for us. I'll try to catch up tomorrow but have about another 200 grades to post for the students. Can't wait for few days of freedom from school and students.

G'night

Good Night...

I love pecans. Love to eat them and love things that have them in them. Like Butter Pecan Ice Cream for example ☺
