Breaktime! The vacuum is not cooperating!

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, it put me on the other side when I just posted that...odd

Lolly said...

Salad sounds wonderful! Tell Gee Gee I'll be there. You know, I do not make a salad for Thanksgiving. My mother always make a cranberry, jello salad, but my family just does not eat salad. So, I just cook cranberries. Have a great recipe. Also, have a great recipe for the sweet potato souffle. I HAVE to make it for the the church dinner and our Christmas party. I would not be allowed to either if I did not bring it.

Lolly said...

It did me too! Strange! Let's see if it happens again.

Lolly said...

Did it again! Weird!

Sharon, those old videos are PRECIOUS. I have to tell you a story about our Lawyer and friend. He had a little girl and a few years later, he and his wife divorced. He remarried and had another family. He told us one day about a year ago, that he had videos of his children but none of his first child and it distressed him that he didn't take the time to take videos of her. I guess he didn't have a camera at that time.
Anyway...Gene said that somewhere, he thought we had an old 8m film of the 1st daughter. Gene finally found it after months of searching. We took it to a photo shop and had it made into a CD.
Talk about one happy DADDY! He was thrilled. That daughter is now 30 years old and he said she is coming home for Thanksgiving...he is so anxious to show it to her:)

paula eagleholic said...

I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and call my Mom, too. Last year we had Tgiving dinner with her at the nursing home...then I made a turkey the Saturday after Tgiving....only thing I don't like about going elsewhere is that you don't have all those yummy leftovers. I can eat turkey for days...

paula eagleholic said...

I don't know what is wrong with this stoopid blog tonight...I can't seem to stay on the newest split side...

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, it's the blog, not us!

Costume Lady said...

Your right, Paula. The best thing about Thanksgiving is having days of leftovers to enjoy, Now, who was it besides me who likes dressing sandwiches? Someone puts strange things on theirs; can't remember who or what:)

hedgie said...

Well, weather is doing a number on my satellite.....at least that is what the diagnostics say...........don't understand since TV sat. is fine. Duh. Whatever, as the kids say! Not going to fight it anymore. Will say goodnight, sleep tight, prayers for wellness, healing and peacefulness.

Costume Lady said...

THREAD COP put me on the flip side too?? Glad it wasn't just me...I was thinking I need some sleep:)

Lolly said...

Yes, it is the blog. Crazy, huh?

Wanda love that story about making the CD.

Costume Lady said...

Good Night, Lynn...pleasant dreams:)

Mema Jo said...

The videos I was watching were when she first rolled over, crawled, walked!
Nothing yet for the "I said Cheese"
Be sure if I do get one, you all will see it. She is just one ornery little gal! Just love her and miss all of them so much.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

What a wonderful present. That is the stuff that is absolutely priceless and shows that you really can't buy everything at Wal-Mart!

hedgie said...

Oh, now that we split, I see more comments to catch up on. Lolly, my grams always made a jello salad of some kind for holiday meals. Winter ones were always black cherry jello w/ black cherries.......but my kids won't eat it, so I've ended up giving up!!

Costume Lady said...

Well, Lolly...we thought that the 8m film was probably too old to do anything with. We have a lot more to process now that we know it can be done.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, they even put music to the movie. There was no sound on our 8m camera:(

hedgie said...

So now goodnight for real!!! :)

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Lynn

Lolly said...

I like leftover turkey sandwichs with lots of mayo, and sweet pickles.

Lolly said...

Nite Lynn!

Costume Lady said...

Black Cherry Jello with Black Cherries sounds delicious...maybe a few walnuts, too. I might try that, although Gene ate so much jello when he was preparing for his colonoscopy that he may not want any for a long time;)

Lolly said...

Hey, it is working now. After posting I am still on the right page. (Mysterious music plays here.)

Costume Lady said...

Sure it's not Jack singing Christmas Carols?

Mema Jo said...

lol You sure your multitasking wasn't making you see things!

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE Something is wrong with this blog. I just posted a comment to Lolly and it published but when I went to check it out - there was Wanda's
comment.

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE Again! Now it is there.... right where it should be.......

I may give up trying to figure this out.

Costume Lady said...

I need to remember to put my turkey out to thaw tomorrow. I did one in the slow cooker last week and will use that broth for the dressing and gravy. I also cut up small chunks of the turkey and put it in the dressing.

Lolly said...

I tell you....something STRANGE is going on! (Mysterious music....not Christmas!) lol

Mema Jo said...

I'm calling it a night - news is on now

Good Night All
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for everyone
((hugs)) ♥ ♥

paula eagleholic said...

I am on the right side of the split again...strange things happening tonight for sure...

got some vacuuming done...finally!

Costume Lady said...

Jo, maybe we need to go to bed:)
We're all hearing things and seeing things;)

Lolly said...

Ahhhh1 Castle was good! I really enjoy him. I love his comments and his relationship with his daughter and his mother.

Lolly said...

But, it is happening to all of us! It is the blog! It is haunted!

Costume Lady said...

I wish I had enough steam left to vacuum. I made a Christmas arrangement to put on my Dad's crypt and have a mess of glitter and leaves all around my chair.
Tomorrow will have to do!

Costume Lady said...

Would you believe I have my Wanda the Witch sign right beside this puter? It does say: spell casting, etc.

Costume Lady said...

I will put it in the shop tomorrow where it belongs!

Lolly said...

LOl Wanda, yesterday, I put a new bow on the wreath I put on our mailbox. Ended up with glitter on the carpet, on the chair, and all over me!

Lolly said...

So Wicked Wanda....all the mysterious happenings are a result of you casting a spell.

magpie said...

I had a feeling earlier that something was akmbo....

and now I am up again..spells it is !

So I get to say Goodnight Again...
I had trouble opening back up.

xo ☺ ♥ Love all your tales...

Costume Lady said...

I only cast spells in October.. This sign has a mind of it's own;)

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, Ok, Wanda, I'll blame you too since you fessed up!

magpie said...

and my umbrella turned into a Magpie!

Costume Lady said...

Good Night again, Margy, and...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Lolly said...

The sign, huh? Well, if that is the case, I think you should move it to the shop tonight, not tomorrow!! Hustle!!

Costume Lady said...

That's OK, I will take the blame as long as you don't try to burn me at the stake!:)

magpie said...

akimbo...
I have lotion and gloves on cause my hands are all cracked up...pretty hard to type like this,
back to the pillows

Costume Lady said...

No shop visit for me tonight, Lolly. The last time I went to the shop when Gene wasn't home, you all had a hissy fit! Remember th mysterious eagle?

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everybody,
I'm back, after dinner and some interesting TV on the History channel.
I'm about to call it quits, too. Hope you all have a very restful night's sleep! Prayers being said for all. The night light's nice and bright over the nest, the porch light's automatic, and the eye scanner is officially enabled.
Sweet dreams! G'night, all. Love you guys! :o]

Lolly said...

I am feeling washed out myself. Time to shower and head to bed. This day has had its ups and downs. (I was feeling UP, before the rack came crashing DOWN!)

Good night all! Sweet dreams!

I am THANKFUL for all of you, God bless!

Lolly said...

Nite Andy!

floralgirl said...

Well after reading all that I just have to post something to see what happens. Perhaps the spell has been broken...

Lolly said...

Oh, yes, I remember the unlocked door and the mysterious eagle.

Having my last chuckle of the day...thanks Margy. Thinking of you sitting there trying to type with lotion and gloves. And, your umbrella turned into a Magpie.

Saying good night again.....with mysterious music again playing in the background. lol

paula eagleholic said...

Wasn't that the Harley Eagle?

Wanda- we would never burn you at the stake...you are like Glinda, the Witch of the North! ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, guess the spell has been broken. I can go to bed now...catch ya'll in the morning!

Hugs to all ♥

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

When I did the split, it put me back on the first page.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good night everybody. Way past my bedtime!

magpie said...

Good Morning

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Exciting day for me. Dex and I are packing to head to Springfield IL tomorrow a.m. to enjoy Thanksgiving with some family. He might think he is on vacation again when we hit the motel tomorrow night but he will enjoy that there will be two kids there to help his Thanksgiving be "just right". I think there is a little snow in forecast today but not enough to cause anyone any travel woes. Wishing all of you a joyous and Happy Thanksgiving.

magpie said...

Good Morning Glo and Dex ☺
Sounds just great...

Mits said...

have fun, Glo:)

magpie said...

Now it seems our cam daily page shows 282 comments like it should ☺

eagle in the nest at Maine

Mits said...

just as I got there it poofed....

Lynne2 said...

Good dreary morning....rain and fog and cool her in R'town. Make my own sunshine day again today! Not happy about missing the ISS/Atlantis flyovers this week. Not at all promising weather for sky watching. There are flyovers tonight thru Firday and one again Sunday night...hopefully clear by then.

I just caught up from last night...LMBO! You guys are so funny!

Jo I'm so glad you have the videos! Sharon, too! And Wanda, what a great story about the old films...what a great gift! About 15 years ago, my brother hijacked some of my mother's old 8mm films from when we first moved to the Baltimore area as young teenagers and had them transferred to video. It was GREAT! Especially because my grandparents are in so much of it. I miss them terribly. Every now and then, I will pass by someone who has on the perfume my gram used to wear and the memories come instantly and set me to tears.

Sounds like everyone is going to have a yummy Thanksgiving!

normabyrd said...

Will the SUN ever shine again?

Lynne2 said...

Glo, I hope you and Dex have a SAFE and UNEVENTFUL trip....this has to be the worst travel time of the years so prayers for your safety!

magpie said...

OH those old movies can be a lot of fun!
Good Morning Lynne. When you make your sunshine, send it all around ☼

Woof! work just called, I have to work noon to 6 pm. Sigh. It is what it is...

I better get crackin'.

See you all later...

normabyrd said...

MITS!---GOOGLE 'mince pie'--It is has meat with different kinds of fruit & spices, etc---We got it from the British---& is still eaten--It is on most menus at Thanksgiving time!!---recipes are on GOOGLE!!

magpie said...

Lynne - I am also real disappointed about missing the ISS flyovers....there will be plenty more, but not with Atlantis hooked up to it....
glad you got yourself hooked on this!
Paula brought it to our attention summer time of 2008 ☺

NEW THREAD

Costume Lady said...

I just got word from Karla (my daughter) that we are about to become grandparents, any minute now! Karla, a Step-Grandmother and I, a Step-Great Grandmother. Rachel is Karla's husband's daughter. She is having a boy named Jayden. I wanted a GIRL:(
Just hope is is healthey and that she has a safe delivery.

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

I think I finally got through sleeping. I slept most of the afternoon, got up briefly to check in on the blog and watch DWTS, then went back to sleep.

Have been catching up on the blog.

Hope the butter knife and the blender top are found.

Glad that Lolly did not get hurt by flying glass.

Nice to see Ceil back on.

Enjoyed reading about the Thanksgiving plans. Everybody sounds so busy.

Judie, if any students show up for your office hours, I hope they are happy ones.

When I looked out the window this morning, there was a large bird in my backyard. I kept thinking "partridge." Partridge in a pear tree? Some kind of quail? I got one picture, but I could not get close. It walked back into the thicket.

I will try to post the picture on my blog.

Feeling fine this morning. I do have lots to do. Rus wants to bring two people to spend the night on Thanksgiving--his new girlfriend and a guy who would not have anyone to visit over the holiday. He is asking me to unearth the extra spare room. I have one spare room, but he needs two. He will sleep in Will's room. Rus thinks he gave me enough notice by telling me on Saturday. I suppose a month might be enough time. Oh boy!

I have not met these people . . . the girlfriend or the guy. This is only the second girlfriend Rus has brought home.

If Susan comes ends up staying over that night, she can sleep in my room.
