not yet, Norma, but if it is coming from the west, should be here this afternoon, hubby told me gusts up to 50 mph.....going to have to do alot of ducking around the zoo this afternoon
Howdy all:) Wind is starting to pick up here, about 15 mph right now. Mourning doves, love them, people definitely hunt them around here. We have had large flocks of them in the yard the past week, and we're putting food out for them so they stay around our property where they will be safe from hunters. Haven't seen a hummer yet today:(
Andy, so happy your daughter and granddaughter will be visiting. Don't worry too much about cleaning. The important part is being together and having a few days to catch up. Also, could not believe the Honda good news. Know that is a relief.
Okay, I guess all the mystery is over. Wanda has Gene (hope he's feeling better today) and Lolly has Jack (great times in N.M. being had by all).
If you haven't already, check out S.D. site for update on naming Diego. Seems only visitors can submit suggestions.
Well, have delayed long enough with fun trying to catch up. Must begin grading exams. Back this afternoon.
MORNIN'--WINDY--our electric went off just enough to undo clock, etc---off to study group!!---DAV is feeling much better!---LIFE IS GETTING BETTER!----LATER.......
Megan, bet the hummers couldn't hold steady in this wind. Terrible here! Scary, in fact. Morning all. Heading out for cut and color----think I'll tell her not to bother with styling--it'll all be a rats' nest by time I get to truck!!! Talk to you all this afternoon.
Good morning! Well, guess what! It is 47 and raining. Jack is cooking a yummy breakfast and then we are heading to the Children's museum. Sure hope weather is better tomorrow. Tomorrow is balloon day.
Have been managing to get on once in a while, that is good but we can not get TV! They do not have cable here and our antenna will not go up. I want TV for news and weather! Better buy a paper today.
Jacob is working in a work book. We do "homework" each night. This is just a little workbook from the store. He loves doing his homework. He will be reading soon. Yea! He is going to be a greast student. That's my boy!
I will never get out of my emails this morning, so I knew I best come over and say Hello. You know it is too windy when the cats won't go out! Need to read comments and finish up informative emails!
10/07/09: We saw some interesting activity from the eagles on our platform. Since it's too early for eggs, we can only assume they were bonding. Hopefully this is our Eagle Cam pair. .....there is a picture of them mating:)
Forgot to report this bit of news yesterday. We were in the process of making some espresso. I was sitting at my computer watching the new Train video and lo and behold, the espresso machine blew up. Now, had I not been watching the lovely Train video, I probably would have been hurt really bad from the hot espresso and steam going everywhere. Thanks Train and Pat! :)
Glad to hear about Bob's pictures being used on the CBF calendar. But I couldn't find the calendar on their site. Does anyone know where it can be viewed and perhaps bought??
Garden is tired, Jim, as is the gardener. Lack of late summer rains and current chilly nighttime temps have slowed the garden down. My flower season is over for this year, just made my last delivery this morning. Now we are digging and dividing bulbs, and getting ready to plant some more as soon as they get here.
Honey crates at DC zoo Dear Diego sleeping in the straw Lun Lun eating while Luney sleeps 3 little chicks at Alcoa are cuties! Where do the penguins go with the MT pool? Woodpecker & Cardinal at Okie Bird Cam Windy in the MT PA woods Ms Goose ready for rain...
I'm back----not a happy camper. Beautician was not home when I got there......I waited for about a half-hour...and even tried phoning...but no luck, so came on home. Caught up on mail, and had lunch, so now back here. Congrats, Bob---that is so cool! Maybe we could place a bulk order of calendars and Lisa would send them all at once and we could distribute at dinner....what does everyone think? Bob---IS there a Don Rumsfeld tavern in Romney??? Wonder if Norma knows??
Jo, glad your power is back on. I'm holding my breath here.
Shar--so glad you weren't close to the machine when it blew---argh!!! Do you think it was defective or just worn out??
Howdy folks. I'm feeling much better without a gall bladder. Had my follow up appointment yesterday and I pretty free to do as I please (That can only lead to trouble). LOL. Glad to see recent activity in the NCTC nest. I have flocks of doves at my feeders during hunting season too. Saw one hummer still here this morning.
Hi ya', Red!! Glad you are doing so well! When do you think your hummers will head for S.A.?? You might have lots of northerners stopping in for fuel before they head on further south! You BETTER stay out of trouble, or Mrs. Red will be on your case!
Hey there Red! Glad you came over here for a breather! I still have not gone into Farmville! lol Heard anything out of Glo in her travels yet? Since you are feeling so great - why not come on in for the Open House! Would love to meet you.
Hi, Everyone! Happy Wednesday! I'm getting here late again. Slept in this morning, and it felt really good. Am doing Anatomy homework, and studying for the Pharmacology test tonight. Still without my car, so feeling claustrophobic again. But, they are busily at work replacing the transmission; we should be able to pick it up late tomorrow afternoon! Can't wait. I've got a bunch of Mourning doves here--get as many as 16 at a time. I can't for the life of me figure why anyone would want to shoot them either--hear there's only about 1 bite of edible meat on each one, so it doesn't seem like it's worth the effort, even if you were the hunting type. Poor little things! They're so sweet! Love to hear them cooing early in the morning. Am trying to de-clutter the house before the kids get here. Our ggd is a ball of fire, and will get into EVERYTHING! A few well-placed kiddie latches will help considerably. It's been a long time since we've had a really busy little person staying with us! Don't want to wear myself out too much, though. So much catching up to do, we'll probably be up pretty late every night! Sharon, thank GOD the Train stopped at your house! Guess I'll be going to Starbuck's for expresso, not making my own! Sure glad you're OK!
Sounds like it's pretty windy today for quite a few of you--better put rocks in your pockets! We get a lot of that out here with the Santa Ana winds in the fall. Can't say I'd miss them if they ever decided to disappear!
Judie, Dinner sounds good! I'll have to go meditate in front of the 'fridge for a while to see what's available here. Bob, congratulations on the calendar pictures! Way to go! Megan, with you could be here! Our hummers are putting on quite a show today, chasing each other and scolding. It's a regular 3-ring circus! Well, better get back to the books. Hard to remember so many drug names! Will check back later, probably after school tonight. Have a great rest-of-the-day! :o]
I am home for lunch. We are being forced to work mandatory overtime and I am not a happy camper. I looked it up and it is legal, I had no idea they could make you work overtime.
Met a lady (a schoolteacher) at the beauty shop whose 3 y.o. gd was just diagnosed with and had surgery for a Wilms' tumor---it's a cancerous kidney tumor most common in little ones. she will be undergoing 6 mos. of chemo. Poor little thing---please add Reese to your prayer list. TY! Momster prayers rock!!!
Judie, your dinner sounds delicious. I haven't fixed cornish hens in a long time.
Thanks, Jim---very interesting, indeed. Wonder if there is a Chinese translation for Diego! LOL. Someone posted there Roly-Poly---bet there's not one for it, either.
Gee, Jo, does that sound like someone else we all know?? LOL! I thought it was the Afghan war they were talking about....will have to listen closer at 11.
Andy, good luck at school tonight. Let us know how it goes. We're your most bestest cheerleaders!
Meatballs? On Wednesday night? Oh, good grief! I just keep getting more and more confusider and confusider. I thought meatballs were Tuesday and Gene belongs to Lolly and Jack belongs Wanda. I need a vacation in W.V.
Deb, sorry about the overtime. Hope the compensation helps.
Huge eagle prayers for Reese. Bad with adults. Unimaginable for children.
Lynn, got a great sauce to drizzle (pour) over. Want it? Good for regular chicken, too.
Going to check the critter cams again. All was MT 30 minutes ago.
Also plan to watch a program on my channel 285 (The Bureau) at 9pm. Supposed to be about murders in nearby Gainesville and an FBI profiler I have trained with.
One thing about it, never a shortage of crimes to keep me current.
Judie, yes, I'd like the sauce recipe, please. Thanks for tip of The Bureau---never saw it before. You have DirecTV, too, don't you? I'll catch it on another showing later this week---cool!
Maybe an email would be good if you need more buyers, or just try going with what you've got----sure that shipping will still be less than $11.XX each!!!!
Hello folks. I have been working on the homework assignments for the online courses I am taking. So far, so good. They both use the same kind of discussion boards. I should be able to find my way through all of those threads as I progress. Right now, I prefer this style!
Lynn, will send the recipe by Friday. Easy. About 5 ingredients almost always on hand.
The Bureau is a new program. My teacher/mentor is Roy Hazelwood. I'm told the program about the Gainesville murders will air again at 6pm on Sat. I have satellite dish and the channel is 285 - Discovery Times. A colleague has Direct TV with channel 285. I was particularly interested because the case involved an organized serial killer.
Diego and Mom snoozing. Missed all other critters today.
Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Back tomorrow sometime.
Paula, I would like a calendar, just trying to figure out if I have your address somewhere. I know it is probably on the Momster's site. I will pursue it tomorrow. Very tired tonight.
I sure have my work cut out for me for the next couple of days---leaf blowing and acorn raking and pick-up-sticks! What a mess I have out there! Did I ever tell you I hate yard work??
My oh my, I had over 100 emails. Not even going to try to read them all...just the important ones. Very slow day at the shop...maybe it was the wind keeping everyone home. Busy time will be from the 19th on til the 30th.
Gene is 95% better today! The Tylenol with Codeine allowed him to have a peaceful nights sleep and the other med with prednisone has decreased the swelling tremendously! I feel like a new person too:) Headed for bed.
Wanda, if I haven't heard back from you in the morning, I'll resend an important email. Glad Gene is feeling better. Have had him in my prayers. Hope you can rest well now, too!
Hi, Sharon! How's everything with you? Did you go get a new espresso machine??? Do you have a Starbucks in Bedford? Bet not, but guess there is in Lynchburg, right? I love Lynchburg!
Hello Eagle Friends, Sitting here with a note pad while reading the past few days posts. Great eagle pics on the album, so happy there were several sightings.
I'll say windy this morning! I decided to get off I-70 at Frederick and bypass the hills by taking 340 through Charles Town, didn't want a tractor trailer falling over on my car!
Lynn prayers for your schoolteacher's grand-daughter. That's tough.
Sisters and I had a very very nice visit.
Know I will miss most of everyone this late.
Deb Hope your Twins make it through this series. What I have always liked about the Yankees, is Mariano Rivera...and Andy Pettite always reminded me of one of my nephews. But I will root for the Twins! xo
Thanks for the E-M calendar email, Paula...I'm in.
I saw some of this on my trip: "O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! ..." (from America the Beautiful, of course.) Jo - thought of these words coming through the Frederick area. Must have been soybean fields! xo
Was great to see Red posting, Bob's good calendar news, Lolly's adventures, Gene's medical treatments, Andy's Honda news, the visiting White-Tailed Eagles at Finland, and Ceil's mission of mercy...and a lot of other things I will mention Thursday morning.
Paula - don't think you are getting too old! What you did sounds like just plain hard work for someone of ANY age !
I ate like a horse! Good thing I packed my bibs with the ever-expanding waistline option. Sleeping in a different bed, I was totally stiff and almost incapacitated for the first four hours of each morning! Talk about feeling old ! Thanks for all the good wishes before during and after; it is important to be with family...and it doesn't get to happen often enough with us all spread out...
I did holler for Megan, Jo and Paula, Helen, Judie, and I really hollered loud for Ceil and Mary Margy 'cause I was a little out of range of downtown Baltimore...
Deb hate to say I am well familiar with that mandatory overtime stuff....really makes it hard to make plans and stick to them :(
I'll be more sociable in the morning and catch up on some comments I made notes on...
Good Night, Rest Well, and God Bless Us, Every One.
Woke up this morning to rain and 47. Went to the children''s museum and we were there for 3 1/2 hours. Had to drag Jacob out. It is all hands on and he LOVED it. We enjoyed it too.
Getting up at 5 in the morning to leave for the balloons. Oh, we do hope they go up!!!
Asking for prayers for Laurel. She has been back at school all week, but she is feeling worse. Looks like she may be getting a secondary infection, still coughing and now her throat is starting to hurt. Feel so bad for her.
Lolly, so sorry to hear that Laurel is relapsing. I was afraid of that. Prayers continue, for sure. Good luck in the morning!! Have you ever been up in a balloon? That's on my bucket list---missed out a few years ago because of weather! Goodnight to all. See you in the morning light. Prayers for all.
Hi, Everyone, Just getting home from school, and not really caught up very well on the blog, but see that Reese and Laurel need prayer, and will continue prayers for Gene. Boy, it's tough to imagine a 3 year old having to have chemo! Woof! Another big Woof for possible complications for Laurel! Lord, HELP!!!!! Boy, the Pharmacology test we got back from last week was HORRIBLE for everyone in the class!!! I hope that's the one the teacher throws out! Had SO many drug names, both generic and Trade names, that we all had trouble. Hope I did better on tonight's test! It had a bunch of drug names on it, too. Don't know how doctors keep them all sorted out! I bet they have a cheat sheet somewhere! Oh, well, hopefully better next time. Well, will catch up better in the morning on what's happening. I'm brain weary tonight--need some mindless TV to unwind. Prayers for all, and wishes for a good night's sleep! (Margy, bet your own bed will feel really fantastic--there's NO place like home!) Good night, and will talk to you in the morning. :o]
Okay, Good Night again, bed is warmed up and I am ready for it! Sounds like misery has company on that last test, Andrea...hang in there...as you have been.
You know what, Margy, I don't think the teacher will have quite as many drug names on the next test, judging from tonight's lecture. And we only have 2 chapters to study, instead of 3. That should help some!
I'm going to go watch some TV and try to unwind from my caffeine high. Absolutely HAD to drink a big mug of coffee late this afternoon, or never would have made it through class. Now I'm hoping I'll manage to get to sleep! Sweet dreams, Margy! Good Night, everyone!

Woodpecker out here hanging off the bottom of the feeder. Loving having birds again!
Good morning, everyone.
Thank you, Steve, for the sunshiny new thread!

One eagle...now two at BWO
25 mph wind gusts here now.

Megan, bet the hummers couldn't hold steady in this wind. Terrible here! Scary, in fact.
Morning all.
Heading out for cut and color----think I'll tell her not to bother with styling--it'll all be a rats' nest by time I get to truck!!!
Talk to you all this afternoon.
puter just crashed....wonder if the winds have something to do with that????? not windy here yet, just some strong breeze right now
Good morning! Well, guess what! It is 47 and raining. Jack is cooking a yummy breakfast and then we are heading to the Children's museum. Sure hope weather is better tomorrow. Tomorrow is balloon day.
Have been managing to get on once in a while, that is good but we can not get TV! They do not have cable here and our antenna will not go up. I want TV for news and weather! Better buy a paper today.

poof eagles at BWO
Awww, now I have little chipping sparrows. They are so cute!
Good Windy Wednesday Morning to All
I will never get out of my emails this morning, so I knew I best come over and say Hello.
You know it is too windy when the cats won't go out!
Need to read comments and finish up informative emails!
BBILW
Mema Jo, your cats don't want to end up in Kansas or flying with the pandas!
yikes, they have drained the water at the penguin cam up at the Baltimore zoo
Eewwiiee at BWO
Eagle now at BWO
Might still be the TV
Yup, still the TV
Well, I don't know now...couple of birds there, maybe 2 eewwiies
Good morning! Haven't been by in awhile.
Hello, Bob, are you coming to open house this year???
BWO UPDATE....
Nest Update
10/07/09:
We saw some interesting activity from the eagles on our platform. Since it's too early for eggs, we can only assume they were bonding. Hopefully this is our Eagle Cam pair. .....there is a picture of them mating:)
TV keeps coming and going at BWO
Yes, I'm planning to be at the Open House.
Howdy Bob!
Norma - glad to hear Davin is feeling better!
Whoo Hoo! Are you coming to Rumplestiltkin's too?
Oh Paula, you beat me to it. I was going to ask Bob that too! :)
NO no no- he is going to the Rumrunners....
I thought it was Ruminators Tavern?
lol.......
Don Rumsfelds Tavern in Romney, right?
you got it, Bob:)
We luv ya, Bob! :)
Groundhog at Pix
And Bob, we don't just love you for your pictures but my oh my, can you take pictures!
Speaking of pictures... The Chesapeake Bay Foundation ended up using three of my photos in their 2010 calendar including the cover.
that is wonderful, Bob, congrats
Thanks. Pretty cool.
Jo just called her electricity is out, so you might want to hold off on any emails to her till she comes back....I'm off to get ready for zoo....ttyl
Forgot to report this bit of news yesterday. We were in the process of making some espresso. I was sitting at my computer watching the new Train video and lo and behold, the espresso machine blew up. Now, had I not been watching the lovely Train video, I probably would have been hurt really bad from the hot espresso and steam going everywhere. Thanks Train and Pat! :)
Congrats, Bob.
Have fun at the zoo, Mits.
Sharon - bet that was a mess!
Yeah, I am thinking we are going to be finding coffee grounds in places that we didn't even know there were places!
Congrats, Bob!
Wind is really gusting, hope Jo's power comes back on soon. Lights have flickered a couple of times here.
I'm sure I'll be resetting everything in the house when I get home tonight!
Flock of birds at Pix...doves?
Yep, those are doves, and of course, that fat groundhog is there too.
**************
GOOD MORNING,
EveryonE
**************
Glad to hear about Bob's pictures being used on the CBF calendar. But I couldn't find the calendar on their site. Does anyone know where it can be viewed and perhaps bought??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
It is on the CBF site under books and cards. The calendar is $15.00 bucks, but for me the shipping is almost $12.00
In the online store section on the site.
I'm not catching the down under Peregrine site (Alcoa) in the daylight, but their newest blog entry has a picture of three newly hatched chicks.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Thanks, Megan. How does your garden grow??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Garden is tired, Jim, as is the gardener. Lack of late summer rains and current chilly nighttime temps have slowed the garden down. My flower season is over for this year, just made my last delivery this morning. Now we are digging and dividing bulbs, and getting ready to plant some more as soon as they get here.
Ouch! Pretty stiff shipping price!
I'm back in service
Whoo Hoo!
It no fun being without my puter!
Honey crates at DC zoo

BBILW Headed over again to finish up emails.......
I'm back----not a happy camper. Beautician was not home when I got there......I waited for about a half-hour...and even tried phoning...but no luck, so came on home. Caught up on mail, and had lunch, so now back here.
Congrats, Bob---that is so cool! Maybe we could place a bulk order of calendars and Lisa would send them all at once and we could distribute at dinner....what does everyone think?
Bob---IS there a Don Rumsfeld tavern in Romney??? Wonder if Norma knows??
Jo, glad your power is back on. I'm holding my breath here.
Shar--so glad you weren't close to the machine when it blew---argh!!! Do you think it was defective or just worn out??
Megan, sorry the flowers are gone...:(
Lynn, it was probably worn out but still shouldn't blow up like that! The plastic just blew apart.
Just talked to hairdresser---she forgot to write my apptmt. in book----argh! Going back at 3. Duh!
Mits, guess you are having a breeze at the zoo! Too bad your puter crashed....was it your PC or laptop?
No, Sharon, it shouldn't...but think the heat makes the plastic brittle and guess it can only take it for so long...dangerous!!!
The calendar with Bob's pictures is sold by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. It's not conencted to BW. The UPS shipping was $11.63
Howdy folks. I'm feeling much better without a gall bladder. Had my follow up appointment yesterday and I pretty free to do as I please (That can only lead to trouble). LOL. Glad to see recent activity in the NCTC nest. I have flocks of doves at my feeders during hunting season too. Saw one hummer still here this morning.
Ohh BTW Sharon. I love your new do. lol
Thanks Red!!!! Glad you are feeling better!
Really interesting info about the newly discovered ring around Saturn....google it! The distances are mind-boggling, as well as size comparisons!
Lolly, forgot to say that I'm glad you got WiFi connection; too bad about TV reception. Hope weather is great when you get to Albuquerque!!
Hi ya', Red!! Glad you are doing so well! When do you think your hummers will head for S.A.?? You might have lots of northerners stopping in for fuel before they head on further south!
You BETTER stay out of trouble, or Mrs. Red will be on your case!
Megan, haven't looked to see---did you notice? Is that a flat-rate shipping charge regardless of number ordered?? Or a per-rate?
Okay, gotta get ready to go AGAIN. BBL!
that's the base shipping rate for one calendar to my location.
Good news Red! Glad to hear you're feeling better.
The shipping rate is the same for 10 calendars....do we have 10 buyers? I didn't try more than 10...Makes for $1.16 shipping...
Howdy Red, glad you are feeling much better! How's the O2?
Sharon - I am thankful the coffee didn't brew and then you explode when you drank it! Sound pretty potent!
I thought you were an Ice Tea person!
Hey there Red! Glad you came over here for a breather! I still have not gone into Farmville! lol
Heard anything out of Glo in her travels yet? Since you are feeling so great - why not come on in for the Open House! Would love to meet you.
Mema Jo, I am an iced tea person but I also love coffee with espresso shots sometimes!
Hi, Everyone!
Happy Wednesday! I'm getting here late again. Slept in this morning, and it felt really good. Am doing Anatomy homework, and studying for the Pharmacology test tonight. Still without my car, so feeling claustrophobic again. But, they are busily at work replacing the transmission; we should be able to pick it up late tomorrow afternoon! Can't wait.
I've got a bunch of Mourning doves here--get as many as 16 at a time.
I can't for the life of me figure why anyone would want to shoot them either--hear there's only about 1 bite of edible meat on each one, so it doesn't seem like it's worth the effort, even if you were the hunting type. Poor little things! They're so sweet!
Love to hear them cooing early in the morning.
Am trying to de-clutter the house before the kids get here. Our ggd is a ball of fire, and will get into EVERYTHING! A few well-placed kiddie latches will help considerably. It's been a long time since we've had a really busy little person staying with us!
Don't want to wear myself out too much, though. So much catching up to do, we'll probably be up pretty late every night!
Sharon, thank GOD the Train stopped at your house! Guess I'll be going to Starbuck's for expresso, not making my own! Sure glad you're OK!
Red, good to hear you're doing so well. Amazing how they do gallbladder surgery nowadays!
Congratulations, Bob. That sure is a feel good compliment.
Knew a train could be good for something-- so glad you weren't hurt.
Hi Jim.
Welcome back, Jo.
Hi, Jim. So happy you're feeling better. Just stay outta trouble.
Windy here, also. Not too bad but trees are shakin and aswingin.
Now to try to get a little reading done before my second class tomorrow. Starting on the learning and memory -- doubt they'll learn much.
Oh, Cornish hens, wild rice, salad for dinner tonight.
Cheers,
Judie
Sounds like it's pretty windy today for quite a few of you--better put rocks in your pockets!
We get a lot of that out here with the Santa Ana winds in the fall. Can't say I'd miss them if they ever decided to disappear!
Judie,
Dinner sounds good! I'll have to go meditate in front of the 'fridge for a while to see what's available here.
Bob, congratulations on the calendar pictures! Way to go!
Megan, with you could be here! Our hummers are putting on quite a show today, chasing each other and scolding. It's a regular 3-ring circus!
Well, better get back to the books. Hard to remember so many drug names! Will check back later, probably after school tonight. Have a great rest-of-the-day! :o]
Megan, WISH you could be here! (Oops!)
Heading home to mow....say hi to Lib and Belle for me...
I have just taken Alexis to her gymnastic session down here at the school. SO tonight is Meatball night!
I'll be back later on.....
Well hey tell my buddy Alexis I said hi!
Wish I could be there too, Andrea. I miss my hummers already:(
I will do, Megan! She'll remember you!
I am home for lunch. We are being forced to work mandatory overtime and I am not a happy camper. I looked it up and it is legal, I had no idea they could make you work overtime.
Back again....a bit beautified...ha,ha!
Just put a Paula's Pizza Casserole in the oven....yum!
BBL
Paula, if you are taking a count for ordering, put me down for one, please! I can send you a check.
Oh, Deb...they sure can! But at time-and-a-half, it's sure nice on payday!!!
Met a lady (a schoolteacher) at the beauty shop whose 3 y.o. gd was just diagnosed with and had surgery for a Wilms' tumor---it's a cancerous kidney tumor most common in little ones. she will be undergoing 6 mos. of chemo. Poor little thing---please add Reese to your prayer list. TY! Momster prayers rock!!!
Judie, your dinner sounds delicious. I haven't fixed cornish hens in a long time.
tHERE are two new entries in the Panda blog at San Diego ... both interesting.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Ah finally, the Alcoa site it visible. Take a look.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Thanks, Jim---very interesting, indeed.
Wonder if there is a Chinese translation for Diego! LOL. Someone posted there Roly-Poly---bet there's not one for it, either.
Paula put me down for one. Will send you a check also.
Evening everyone. Going watch the Twins/Yankees game. Go twins
Yea! GO TWINS!
Lynn will certainly keep Reese in my prayers.
I was thinking about "Diego" too, Hedgie. Don't suppose they would do "Big Bad Dude" either.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
EAGLES IN THE NEST!!!
Well, now just one eagle....
ANd now there's none....Maybe they'll come back.
They better come back 'cause I missed them...........
I just barely saw them myself.
Rear view of eagle at BWO.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Good one, Jim, but there sure can't be anything bad about that cutey!
Missed it, too---helping gd with homework via texting---argh, hate that (texting that is, not helping!)
Almost time for Jeopardy---sofa time with lap dog. BBL.
Hope Paula got mowing finished...it is dark by 7 pm !
The bear is already on the Snowman Cam.
They were just saying on the news channel that it has been 8 years
ago that the first battle begun in Iraq. I pray it would end !!!!!
8 point buck on PIX PA
"Sometimes" I enjoy reading the PIX chat- those guys talk about everything at times - well when nothing is in the cam's view.........
Gee, Jo, does that sound like someone else we all know?? LOL!
I thought it was the Afghan war they were talking about....will have to listen closer at 11.
Andy, good luck at school tonight. Let us know how it goes. We're your most bestest cheerleaders!
Meatballs? On Wednesday night? Oh, good grief! I just keep getting more and more confusider and confusider. I thought meatballs were Tuesday and Gene belongs to Lolly and Jack belongs Wanda. I need a vacation in W.V.
Deb, sorry about the overtime. Hope the compensation helps.
Huge eagle prayers for Reese. Bad with adults. Unimaginable for children.
Lynn, got a great sauce to drizzle (pour) over. Want it? Good for regular chicken, too.
Going to check the critter cams again. All was MT 30 minutes ago.
Also plan to watch a program on my channel 285 (The Bureau) at 9pm. Supposed to be about murders in nearby Gainesville and an FBI profiler I have trained with.
One thing about it, never a shortage of crimes to keep me current.
Cheers,
Judie
Raccoons @ Pix
Megan, did you tell Lib and Belle I said hello?
Lynn - Brian Williams brought it up - Replayed Pres Bush's statement to us that we were attacking Afghanistan!!
You're right Lynn...... It was a yr after that when Iraq came into the picture when we went after Saddam Hussein
hi ya, windy day at the zoo, no flying pandas, they stayed close to their dens most of the afternoon
off to watch Criminal Minds...
Well, I tried Paula, but they weren't in the nest for very long.
I'd like one of those calendars, just tell me where to send the money:), please
Criminal Minds at 9, Jo!
Going to watch Criminal Minds
BBL
Do you think we will receive calendars in time to have Bob autograph them ?
I have 3 takers for calendars....any more?
I don't know if they would arrive in time or not...I would hope so...shipping is by UPS ground...
Maybe I should send an email through Momsters...
Thanks, Megan!
Judie, yes, I'd like the sauce recipe, please. Thanks for tip of The Bureau---never saw it before. You have DirecTV, too, don't you? I'll catch it on another showing later this week---cool!
If it's UPS, Paula, they SHOULD arrive at your place in a couple of days. I'll put a check in the mail to you in the morning. TY!!!
Maybe an email would be good if you need more buyers, or just try going with what you've got----sure that shipping will still be less than $11.XX each!!!!
Well, my Twins aren't doing too good today, darn. They have tomorrow off, so hope they get rested and ready for the next game.
Ooh, two base runners now. Maybe it is comeback time.
No comeback, Twins lose. :(
Deb I was watching it for awhile.
Bear at snowman cam
Sorry about your Twins, Deb. Hope they beat the pants off the Yankees.
Hello folks. I have been working on the homework assignments for the online courses I am taking. So far, so good. They both use the same kind of discussion boards. I should be able to find my way through all of those threads as I progress. Right now, I prefer this style!
Have tried to read most of the messages.
New update on Mason:
Mason
Good late evening, all.
Lynn, will send the recipe by Friday. Easy. About 5 ingredients almost always on hand.
The Bureau is a new program. My teacher/mentor is Roy Hazelwood. I'm told the program about the Gainesville murders will air again at 6pm on Sat. I have satellite dish and the channel is 285 - Discovery Times. A colleague has Direct TV with channel 285. I was particularly interested because the case involved an organized serial killer.
Diego and Mom snoozing. Missed all other critters today.
Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Back tomorrow sometime.
Cheers,
Judie
Too bad, Deb. Better luck next game. Will it be a 5 or 7 game series?
Good night, Judie. Yep--it repeats Sat. night on my DirecTV 285. Have DVR set!
Paula, I would like a calendar, just trying to figure out if I have your address somewhere. I know it is probably on the Momster's site. I will pursue it tomorrow. Very tired tonight.
See you tomorrow.
OK, have 5 for calendars now....how about Megan and Jo....I can bring the calendars to the Open House.
I'll send out an email through Momsters...
Margy is home! Still catching up on emails!!
ANOTHER Survivor island hit by an earthquake---Vanuatu (?sp?)...details on news at 11.
It is NE of Australia....three strong tremors--7.8, 7.3, 7.1. I spelled it right! No other details yet.
Good evening everybody. Hope all is well!
I sure have my work cut out for me for the next couple of days---leaf blowing and acorn raking and pick-up-sticks! What a mess I have out there! Did I ever tell you I hate yard work??
I sent an email thru momsters about the calendars!
Howdy Sharon!
Lynn - sounds like my Mom's yard, but she has a bunch of walnuts back there too.
My oh my, I had over 100 emails. Not even going to try to read them all...just the important ones.
Very slow day at the shop...maybe it was the wind keeping everyone home. Busy time will be from the 19th on til the 30th.
Gene is 95% better today! The Tylenol with Codeine allowed him to have a peaceful nights sleep and the other med with prednisone has decreased the swelling tremendously! I feel like a new person too:)
Headed for bed.
GOOD NIGHT
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Wanda, if I haven't heard back from you in the morning, I'll resend an important email. Glad Gene is feeling better. Have had him in my prayers.
Hope you can rest well now, too!
Hi, Sharon! How's everything with you? Did you go get a new espresso machine??? Do you have a Starbucks in Bedford? Bet not, but guess there is in Lynchburg, right? I love Lynchburg!
Bear at snowman cam
Hello Eagle Friends,
Sitting here with a note pad while reading the past few days posts.
Great eagle pics on the album, so happy there were several sightings.
Yep, Margy, they have graced us with their appearances!
I am heading for tubby and bubbles and book. Will check back before I hit the hay.
I'll say windy this morning! I decided to get off I-70 at Frederick and bypass the hills by taking 340 through Charles Town, didn't want a tractor trailer falling over on my car!
Lynn prayers for your schoolteacher's grand-daughter. That's tough.
Sisters and I had a very very nice visit.
Know I will miss most of everyone this late.
Deb Hope your Twins make it through this series. What I have always liked about the Yankees, is Mariano Rivera...and Andy Pettite always reminded me of one of my nephews.
But I will root for the Twins!
xo
Thanks for the E-M calendar email, Paula...I'm in.
I saw some of this on my trip:
"O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! ..."
(from
America the Beautiful, of course.)
Jo - thought of these words coming through the Frederick area. Must have been soybean fields! xo
Welcome Home, Margy!
Hope you had a nice time!
Got it, Margy!
Was great to see Red posting, Bob's good calendar news, Lolly's adventures, Gene's medical treatments, Andy's Honda news,
the visiting White-Tailed Eagles at Finland, and Ceil's mission of mercy...and a lot of other things I will mention Thursday morning.
Paula - don't think you are getting too old! What you did sounds like just plain hard work for someone of ANY age !
I ate like a horse! Good thing I packed my bibs with the ever-expanding waistline option. Sleeping in a different bed, I was totally stiff and almost incapacitated for the first four hours of each morning! Talk about feeling old !
Thanks for all the good wishes before during and after; it is important to be with family...and it doesn't get to happen often enough with us all spread out...
I did holler for Megan, Jo and Paula, Helen, Judie, and I really hollered loud for Ceil and Mary Margy 'cause I was a little out of range of downtown Baltimore...
Deb hate to say I am well familiar with that mandatory overtime stuff....really makes it hard to make plans and stick to them :(
I'll be more sociable in the morning and catch up on some comments I made notes on...
Good Night, Rest Well, and God Bless Us, Every One.
xoxox ♥
PS - I viewed and enjoyed the Eagle Pictures on the Momsters album, thanks all you Eagle-Eyed Momsters !
Got on but do not know if I can post. Will try!
Woke up this morning to rain and 47. Went to the children''s museum and we were there for 3 1/2 hours. Had to drag Jacob out. It is all hands on and he LOVED it. We enjoyed it too.
Getting up at 5 in the morning to leave for the balloons. Oh, we do hope they go up!!!
Asking for prayers for Laurel. She has been back at school all week, but she is feeling worse. Looks like she may be getting a secondary infection, still coughing and now her throat is starting to hurt. Feel so bad for her.
Time for bed.
Nit all!
Whoa! It posted! And I really meant....Nite all....Sweet dreams!
Nite Lolly! Have a good time!
Night to everyone else, too. Hitting the hay
Hugs to all ♥
Hi Margy... Glad your home safe & sound
Lolly I sure hope the balloons go up!
I need to go down that hallway ....
Good Night All
Prayers for all especially the young children...
((((hugs)))) ♥
Lolly, so sorry to hear that Laurel is relapsing. I was afraid of that.
Prayers continue, for sure. Good luck in the morning!! Have you ever been up in a balloon? That's on my bucket list---missed out a few years ago because of weather!
Goodnight to all. See you in the morning light. Prayers for all.
Well I said Good Night but I didn't go to bed...now I am watching the White-Tailed Eagle at Finland!
was..it just left...
Two pics up on Magpie's Roost from my visit to my sister's in Annandale.
Prayers, for the many needs here and everywhere...
xo
Hi, Everyone,
Just getting home from school, and not really caught up very well on the blog, but see that Reese and Laurel need prayer, and will continue prayers for Gene. Boy, it's tough to imagine a 3 year old having to have chemo! Woof! Another big Woof for possible complications for Laurel! Lord, HELP!!!!!
Boy, the Pharmacology test we got back from last week was HORRIBLE for everyone in the class!!! I hope that's the one the teacher throws out! Had SO many drug names, both generic and Trade names, that we all had trouble. Hope I did better on tonight's test! It had a bunch of drug names on it, too. Don't know how doctors keep them all sorted out! I bet they have a cheat sheet somewhere! Oh, well, hopefully better next time. Well, will catch up better in the morning on what's happening. I'm brain weary tonight--need some mindless TV to unwind. Prayers for all, and wishes for a good night's sleep!
(Margy, bet your own bed will feel really fantastic--there's NO place like home!) Good night, and will talk to you in the morning. :o]
Okay, Good Night again, bed is warmed up and I am ready for it!
Sounds like misery has company on that last test, Andrea...hang in there...as you have been.
xo ☺ ♥
You know what, Margy, I don't think the teacher will have quite as many drug names on the next test, judging from tonight's lecture. And we only have 2 chapters to study, instead of 3. That should help some!
I'm going to go watch some TV and try to unwind from my caffeine high. Absolutely HAD to drink a big mug of coffee late this afternoon, or never would have made it through class. Now I'm hoping I'll manage to get to sleep! Sweet dreams, Margy! Good Night, everyone!
++++++++++++++
Good Night,
every one
