«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 702 Newer› Newest»thank you Lolly for the beautiful thoughts. I am thankful for this blog and the wonderful friends I have made here over the years. You have all give me a priceless gift. I am also thankful for Debs contribution to my life.
I had left the house for an hour - just had to get out - this has drained my emotions.
Need to read your comments.... Have been thinking of a tribute page where we could all place our thoughts of Deb.
I was going to copy/paste the emails replying to the Sad News sent to you but then there are comments here on the blog.... I'll see what most of you think.... You may have already thought of it.... I best read now.
Have not been able to come here for a few hours. But the group hugs sure feel good right now. I had a nice long talk with Dianne.....she and Pam are holding up as well as can be expected. They have included Debs' eagle mug with items to be cremated with her, along with her kayaking hats.
I will sure miss Deb on the blog, and will miss more fantastic pictures and stories of her adventures. Rest in peace, dear friend.
And, I think naming one of next seasons' chicks for her is a wonderful plan.
Her sister Pam will be taking Debs' remaining dog home to Sioux Falls with her.
And I, too, want everyone here to know how much I love you and appreciate you being in my life. I know that Deb felt the same way.
i have an errand to tend to. BBL
I just talked to Judie. I did not want her to get on the blog sometime tomorrow and not know what had happened. She had read your e-mail, Jo, so she was aware. She told me a bit about her trying week--it has been a tough one for her. She said next semester should be better.
Hi Lolly. I guess you didn't call my house, as Frank thought. Guess it was Jo. I am so glad you were with Deb to see that wonderful pair. I was with her at the Raptor show where we were both trying to take pictures!So glad I met her if only for a short time. She was so talented and thoughtful in many ways and shared her beautiful nature escapades with us. It was like Deb's Nature Show.
I guess Paula doesn't know yet~~~she was at Mom's house today I believe.
Judie said she would be on later tonight.
I had to fix dinner. Jim worked today. Did not want to eat? Still cannot believe it. Jo and Helen thanks you both spent so much time today trying to find an answer. Wish this was not the outcome.
Good evening my eagle friends. I have just been told by RED (Bill) on facebook the horrible news that you all received about the passing of Deb Palmer. I am so shocked and saddened. She was such an inspiration; a wonderful person. My prayers go out to her family and I know that she is now soaring with the eagles up in heaven.
Please keep me informed of anything you may do for her family. I would also like to be included. I will try to check my email.
Jo, Re: Tribute page. I am not a techie, but is there a program where you set up a page & people can go to it and write comments?
Or maybe copy & paste would work in Word & then print on special paper if you8 want a hard copy to mail. Bet Paula would know.
Gonna maybe eat something, yuck
Jo, I remember this summer when you stayed up late at night watching over Deb when there were tornados. You have been watching over her all along.
It is good to know that we have such good friends out there.
BBL.
I love you all!!!
Just talked to Dianne Cooper,
Deb's sister on Facebook. She was on Deb's page and saw where I posted that pic of Deb and thanked me for it. I told her that we loved her sister like our own sister. They are having a memorial down at the Yankton River on Wednesday. I told her if she could let us know the time, maybe we could have a moment of silence on the blog at the same time! What do ya'll think?
Sissy sounds good to me
Oh Sissy, that would be good. Maybe at the Memorial, someone could include saying Eaglet Momsters send their prayers & condolences, & Love for Deb.
Googled Deb and found this:
Deb's Birds
It is hard to really understand why. But knowing why would not help a thing.
I like your plan, Sissy.
Loretta - When Paula gets home I want to ask her about a Tribute book for our comments.. There are soooo many good memories about Deb!
I have left a message on Paula's home phone and Wanda's.
Suzanne has been called by Helen and me
I had called Norma - she had met Deb and did the Eagle Train ride with her.
It is on FB...
If any of you read the address line on the email I sent and see I missed someone - please forward to them.
I think that is great Sissy.
sounds good Sissy
Sissy, I did a right click-Save picture of Deb's profile photo. It sure is a perfect photo of our gal!
thanks, Shirley, great pics from Deb.....we all remember when she said she was just going down to the river to see if she could help out, and before you know it she was a very intricate part of the SD ospreys
Shirley - Thanks for finding that site.. I had not seen it before this.
Great coverage of what Deb was all about
there was no chocolate in the house, so I made potato salad....don't ask me why???? if I can eat, that will be my supper.....maybe will lift a G&T in Deb's honor...don't know what to do:(
Sissy, what a great idea that is.
Jo, I got hold of Wanda.
Thanks for that link, Shirley......didn't know about it!
(((((Just a group hug))))))) This has to be one of the very saddest times our Blog has seen. Thanks for the email MeMa JO I am sure it was a very hard phone call to make and email to send. Thank you for giving of yourself to your blog extended family.
Mits, potato salad sounds better than chocolate, but the G&T's have been fortifying for now.
Thank you Lynn !
When I went on Facebook, I found a suggestion that I add Deb Palmer as a friend. I don't keep up with FB enough to know who I have added. Wish I had clicked on that one.
I think Sissy had a great idea. And, I think a note from us to be read at the river would be very appropriate.
I am at a loss at what to do. Going from blog, to facebook, to Deb page, to the pictures of Debs work. Trying to understand. :( And can not stop the tears.
Wasn't it last year that Deb was at open house?
I'm with you Lolly.
there is a liquor god....found all the ingredients for a g&t....I raise my glass to you my friend Deb...ironic, we sang the hymn On Eagles Wings at mass today.
Shirley she was there last year. All the way from SD.
my friend the secretary at church is tired at that hymn being sang at funerals', but I made her promise to have it song at mine....she reluctantly agreed, told her I would come back and haunt her if she did not
Yep has to be sung at mine.
And she came alone, didn't she? I remember her messages about being alone at the hotel.
yes, she was amazing....flew into BWI, rented a car and off she went....remember meeting her at the nest on Friday afternoon....she was the best...
Yeah, we sat together at the animal show and dinner, had a bunch of laughs. She just flew right on out here like it wasn't nuthin! I was disappointed she couldn't make it this time. Not a drinking person, so I opted for the chocolate. Love ya, bunches and bunches!!
((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))
Shirley she did. She went lots of places on her own. Had never been to WV and came from BWI to Shepherdstown. Did not get lost?
Mits what happened to the six bags of halloween candy?
Did better than I did coming from Fredericksburg. :)
Good question Ceil.
She loved the train ride, Sunday after open house. Those of us on the train ride had a meal together afterwards. Then Jack and I met Deb and Paula at the nest Sunday evening. Lib and Belle were both there, side by side, and that is when Deb got that picture. It was an awesome evening...one I will never forget and Deb felt the same.
Shirley you made it that is all that counts and we are so glad. First time I came with Jim. He got lost. We just happened to find it. Judie had problems finding Sheetz. She was remarkable
4 of the bags were given out, 2 left...Mounds bars, I don't like coconut:(, but they are wrapped in dark chocolate, so maybe I can just lick the chocolate
Well, I am back home my friends. What a sad day. I don't even know what to say except that I love everybody and we are all grieving together! Such a sad time and one that I have always dreaded, losing one of us!
I love mounds bars. You could lick the chocolate.
Sharon you got me crying again. Thought I was finished.
Sounds pretty messy, licking the chocolate. Like something Hunter might do.
Jo I sent you back an email of my memories of a special friend. The saddness I'm sure we ALL feel is great. Deb contributed so much here with us and others.
Sissy that is a good thought. For us to have a time of "silence" during their Yankton Memorial on Wednesday.
Just talked to my niece. They may do surgery on Mrs. Riffe tomorrow, won't know for sure till the doc comes around at 9 or in the morning. She is getting her second pint of blood right now. She has been awake alot of the day today. We will see. I can't imagine that they will do it tomorrow, I really look for it to be Tuesday.
I hate November.
I just came and havent' read email WHAT HAPPENED???
Thinking of you, Sissy.
Me, too, Lolly....just keep going back and forth...........:(
Lynne, Deb Palmer passed away.
Lynne, we lost our Deb!
Need to thank Jo for sending what must have been an extremely difficult and emotional email to notify us about Deb.
Also need to thank Shirley for calling me to make sure I would be prepared for blog comments regarding Deb.
I am devastated. My heartfelt condolences are sent to Deb's family as well as her blog family. I believe she would truly appreciate a river-side blog- members tribute to her on Wednesday. May she fly with the eagles and ospreys forever and a day.
Hi Judie. Good that you could join us.
oh my GOD this is awful...I KNEW something was wrong, I could tell somehow. I almost told Steve today that I thought something was wrong but I felt like if I said it I would be bringing bad luck. This is so sad I don't even know what to say. You guys have know her so much longer and you must be devastated.
Lynne, Jo gave us the news at 4:36 if you would like to read her message.
I am going to get a shower and lie down if I don't get back on God Bless everyone.
I have to go put my bed together. I stripped it earlier.
thanks Shirley, I got an email as well. Hugs to all of you. I've gotta go....see you tomorrow.
Judie and Lynne, you would have loved her as much as the rest of us.
I, too, had that deep-down dread, Lynne.
Well, my friends, I am going to go stretch out, gotta hit the road first thing in the morning. Prayers for healing comfort for us all, especially Deb's family. It is really hard to bury a sister, like a part of ourselves, I think.
I do love you all, truly I do. I am so grateful to God for putting you in my life. Will catch you in Bristol in the morning!!
Get some rest, Ceil. If you don't comeback, we'll sure understand.
Fixed the bed. Always have trouble finding one pillowcase. It's still down here on the sofa. I sleep with 4 pillows.
Taking a break - Have I told all
of you that I love you as family!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I just found a couple of pics on the yahoo pics and put them on my facebook page from 10/2008.
You can click here:
OBITUARY OF DEBRA LYNN PALMER
yes Shirley, those pillow cases are like socks...the little buggers are always hiding from us.
Thanks, Dana.
Mits, we were right on her age! Thanks Dana.
well you were right, you know me I can't count and had her 10 years younger.....she looked so very young...
Evening, my eagle friends.
I don't know what to say...I am still in shock...and the tears are flowing.
I posted some pictures on the Eagletmomsters blog I haven't shared before. I will post the pictures on facebook as well, for Deb's sisters to see. The second one, I have been meaning to post, just as it was, with the captions included. I am now posting it for Deb. This is how I will always remember her.
Eaglet Momsters Blog </a
Thank you so very much, Dana.
And thank you Jo.
Wonderful pictures, Paula. Thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, Paula.
I will have to say that I do understand why Deb flew all the way from South Dakota to see all of you. As it says in the picture, you are priceless friends. I only wish I could have met her in person as many of you did.
Dear Friends, I wish we could all be together right now...we need each other so much. Like Paula, my eyes are still so filled with tears. All I can say, at this time, is what I have already said on Facebook:
TODAY, WE HAVE LOST ONE OF OUR DEAREST FRIENDS. WE DON'T KNOW WHY THE LORD TOOK HER FROM US SO SUDDENLY, BUT THIS BIBLE VERSE COMES TO MY MIND: I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US: THEN SAID I,, HERE AM I, LORD, SEND ME. Isaiah 6:8
I am certain that Deb will be taking photos of all the birds in HEAVEN and God will be well pleased with his good and faithful servent.
REST IN PEACE, OUR DEAR FRIEND...DEB PALMER.
Deb can touch you Shirley through her pictures!
Oh Dana, thanks so much. They have a send condolence link there.
Hi Paula & Wanda, so sad....glad you are with us. Thx Paula for finding some pics.
I saved our 2 eagle Deb pic & want to print it out.
She has already done that, Jo.
Thanks for putting that thought into words, though.
I am closing for tonight. There really is no more to say except to those I have met and those I have not, My life changed the day I joined this Blog. We are now all a part of each others journey through life. We touch each other in ways we do and do not understand. I am grateful for each of you and the Blog that is always here anytime I come by to see who has been on and what they have been up to, whethr or not it is eagle season.
You are all very much like family to me. Some are just like a sister or a mom, some are distant relatives but all are loved. WE are bound together through the survival of the Bald Eagle. Today we are bound together in the loss of one of us.
It is my prayer tonight that Deb is in fact resting in the palm of His hand.
She worked hard for all He created here on earth. I really believe she lived and enjoyed life to the fullest. We are all a little richer for her time with us. AOYP Good night.
Thanks so much for your words, Glo.
I had published a comment and I can't find it now.. so..
Go to Dana's link to the Hansen Funeral Home and feel free to leave your condolence for Deb
Goodnight everyone.
I am turning my light out on a very, very sad day.
I am leaving a moonbeam light on for Deb.
Goodnight and God bless my blog family.
Judie
I'm taking a break...
BBL
Deb liked watching the Amazing Race and Survivor....
saw The Amazing Race and it reminded me of her
Good night Glo and Judie. I am about ready to turn out my light, too. Five o'clock will come too soon.
Judie, I e-mailed the librarian and cancelled for tomorrow. It would have been too much. Thanks for suggesting that I not try more than I can reasonably do. It was good to talk with you tonight, even though the reason for the call was so sad.
Forgot, not all of us have FACEBOOK. I have posted the same photos of Deb from there to my blog WANDA'S WISHES.
Thanks Jo, for the email and the phone call from Lynn telling me of Deb's passing.
Paula, have been thinking of you all day. Thank you for the pictures. Priceless is so true!
Thank you, Dana, for the info you posted.
Just when I think, okay, I have it under control, the tears start up again. As I said earlier, sure wish we could be together. God bless and keep all of you. Love you!
its been a hard day and now a hard night. Its been made easier by good friends and sister/brother hood through our common love and interest. Thank you all for being in my life and for the blessings, lessons and love you have given me through out the years.I remember driving from the airport in DC the first time with my grand daughter not knowing who or what I was going to meet and weather I would be accepted. Who would care about this silly lady from California. You all did . You embraced me with love an concern.I thank you for that beautiful gift.
Kind and loving words from you, Glo. We all are feeling the same way. Definitely not the kind of day we all expected, but the comraderie we feel enfolds us and comforts us all.
Can't seem to open any links. Gotta reboot.
Wanda they are great pictures. Thanks for putting them on your site. Still trying to figure out fb
Dana you are a very special lady with a very big heart.. You are loved..
me too, Ceil
Wanda & Glo, those are beautiful statements.
I agree!
I put some soup in microwave & never ate it! Been clicking around, too & saving pages.
BBL
BTW, LUV all you guys!!!!!(((HUGS)))
Thought I would put this on here in case someone misses the link.
Debra Lynn Palmer, 56, of Vermillion, SD died Thursday, November 5 at her residence.
Debra was born October 26, 1953 in Colorado Springs, CO to Kenneth and Doris (Sanders) Palmer. Debra was raised and attended school in Sioux Falls, SD graduating from Lincoln High School and receiving her Bachelors in Teaching from Augustana College. She taught in Clear Lake and Winner, SD before working for Target Corporation for over 20 years.
Debra was a loving sister, aunt and dear friend to so many, she will be greatly missed.
Debra was an avid outdoors person, bird lover and traveler; she had published pictures and an article in the South Dakota Magazine, and was a member of the South Dakota Ornithologists Union. Deb worked for the past few years with the South Dakota Osprey Re-introduction at Yankton through the Corp. of Engineers.
She is survived by her two sisters: Pam Palmer of Sioux Falls, SD, and Dianne (Bob) Cooper of Huntington Beach, CA. She is also survived by a Niece Amanda Lebrecht of Tustin, CA, step mother Judy Palmer of Hemet, CA, four uncles; Mutt, Bill, Bob and Greg and three aunts; Elenor, Rita and Penny and several cousins.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
I'm with you Mits, candy wont do it tonight.
Going to take a break. Attempting to watch the Cowboys. Hard to concentrate.
Jack got on the phone and after consulting with a techie we now have our email back up.
BBL
Paula has created a link on E_M of
Deb Palmer's Blog
so anytime you want to view her pics just go to that LINK
Thank you so much Paula.
Later this week Pam and Dianne, Deb's sisters, will look at Facebook and may choose memorializing Deb's page.
Thank You Suzan for the suggestion
I emailed you info to them.
Thanks for posting link to Debs' obituary, Dana. Didn't expect it to be up so soon.
Lovely tributes, Paula and Wanda.
Anne-Marie, such a nice post from you, too. Just because some of you live further away than most of us does NOT in any way diminish your importance to us and we only wish we could you more often!
I've been doing the same thing, Loretta.
Oops...that is SEE you more often.
Need some comfort food---going to get some ice cream.
Well, everybody, I am going to try to end this sad day. Words can't describe how I feel about this loss but it does make me want to make sure you ALL know how much I love you and how special you are to me! My life is so much richer and fuller today than I could have ever imagined, just because I was sent a link to an eagle cam. God is so good and has blessed us all!
High speed chase in Shepherdstown....
How can there be a high speed chase in a tiny WV town? My brother would laugh at this one. I love Shepardstown. If I had the money I would buy a home there.
I was out looking at the stars. Don't think there's an eagle constellation, but saw the Dog Star...so I made a wish on it in Debs' memory.
I think it's time for all of us to lay our heads down. Heavy hearts make for heavy heads, and know that we all have cried a lot for one day. For those of you with your loved ones, extra hugs and kisses tonight. For those of us alone tonight, let's wrap each other in an extra dose of momster love.
I love you all and thank you for being such an important part of my life.
Life is fragile. Handle with prayer.
Rest in Peace, dear Deb.
Sharon, I think you have wonderfully expressed the sentiments everyone is feeling on here tonight...thank you.
I will see you all in the morning.
Good night, hugs to everyone, and prayers for Deb's family.
That is funny, Anne-Marie. Bet it was a FAST chase!
This year I was impressed driving thru Middletown, MD where I think Jo lives. Have never seen decorated dummies at each corner light post! Very nice~~
Thx Lynn, a little humor is good ☺
Well now that I've finished my soup--(only had butter bread so far today)--will maybe try a little salad.
If I didn't have a med conflict, I sure would love to have a drink w/Helen!
Restful sleep to everyone going to bed.
God's Blessings for all, and His Love shine on Deb and her family.
You were the wind beneath our wings
:), high speed chase, probaly lasted 5 minutes and the guy was on his way out of town....wonder if they caught up to him...could not get even 3 sips of the g&t in me.....looking for something else, maybe some hot chocolate with whipped cream....can't seem to stop shaking....and I'm not cold....guess the days event is catching up to me...maybe some hot tea and cinnamon toast....sorry rambling here:(
Good night all,
You're not rambling, Helen. If you can stand it, they say that warm milk before bed has a calming effect~~~could put chocolate in it.
;>)
I like warm milk, and probably should not put the chocolate in it...too late for caffeine...
OK, making some oatmeal, that should do it...good night everyone, prayers for all, especially Deb's family
Don't underestimate speeding in Shepherdstown. That is where I was stopped for speeding the one and only time in my life! I was doing 35 in a 25mph zone!
Rest well my friends..
Good Night All
Prayers for all Deb's family and friends to find peace and I pray for a watchful eye over Granny Riffe
Love you all ((hugs)) ♥♥
Blessings everyone. What a sad time. There's nothing I could add to make this easy but know that I love each and every one of you like family.
You have made the lonely times easier for me to handle and I appreciate your welcoming me into the fold.
May Deb's family find peace and may the Lord grant her eternal rest.
Prayers for all wants/needs especially Granny Riffe
Getting back on to wish everyone a good nights sleep. Usually I say sweet dreams, but tonight I wish for you a healing good nights sleep.
My sister called and we talked a long time. Did me a world of good.
So Nite....and God bless.
Good night to all my dear friends, I love each and everyone of you like family. I'm sure we all feel the same way, but we need to say it from time to time.
PRAYERS FOR DEB'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS, GRANNY RIFFE AND I
PRAY THAT WE WILL ALL HAVE A
RESTFUL NIGHTS SLEEP.
Oh wow!! I'm really sorry to read the comments telling me that our bright and friendly eagle-lover, Deb, has passed on.............. Really sad.
But, as I wrote in my Condolence, I'm thinking the Lord has taken her to brighten the lives of people in Heaven as she brightened ours.
God bless Deb and keep her in a special place near Him.
And God bless all of you. You are all wonderful, and we need you in our lives.

GooD NighT, aLL,

us.

I'm proud to have Deb's Magpie from the South Dakota Badlands, as my avatar. Deb sent me this picture and told me how to post it when I was a brand-new Momster.
I'm hoping that Deb was able to see that I brought it back on in late October before her birthday on Oct 26 - a little tribute to her wonderfulness.
It is hard to come home alone with this sadness in my heart, but comforting to read the comments and tributes from my family of friends here on this Blog, so I am not alone at all.
Deb was One of a Kind, the Best Kind.
May her peaceful spirit embrace us through this difficult time, and may we endeavor to carry her cheerful enthusiasm into our everyday moments.
Thank you so much to all of you here for the information, the photos, the thoughts and remembrances.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
Prayers continue for everything and everyone we have have been praying for here, with special prayers for Mrs. Riffe and all the Riffe family for the upcoming days. xo
I just re-read what was possibly Deb's last post on Tuesday of last week at 9:55.
It was a comment directed to me.
About returning to night shift.
It was always such a treat to read about her finding the Eagles in the Nest on her lunch breaks.
Deb was the first to see a bird - a hooded crow, on the Finland nest when it came back on-line, and one of the first 6 or 7 to see the Eagles on our Still Cam when it came back on-line, so she got two little prizes for those sightings.
☺ I always loved sending cards to her address in Vermillion...as she lived on James Street
Thanks to Steve for keeping us all together on one thread through this difficult time Sunday, and for making the Blog possible so that we can stay together in the ways that we do.
Good Night
xo ♥
Hello my eagle friends, I saw on FB the sad news about Deb, I also told mom since she still doesn't have a facebook.
My prayers go out to her family tonight and I will always remember Deb when I look at the beautiful picture of the eagle she took.
I hope everyone is doing well sorry I haven't been around much but once I graduate (February) and get some issues taken care of here I should be around a bit more.
Hugs to all
Robyn
Good morning my wonderful Eagle friends. Can't hardly even stand to post this morning. My heart is still so very heavy.
Please remember us in your prayers today. It has been one year since Tom's wonderful brother died passed away. That coupled with the death of our precious Deb is almost more than my heart can hold!
Heading to Bristol this morning, sitting with Granny today. Pray for healing to touch us all today.
Sissy, you and your family are in my prayers. God bless all of you.
I will check back in when I can today. I will have a long day at work. Meeting after school and my night SAT class, so it will be about 9:00 before I come home.
It is one of those days when I need to save energy by trying to stay off my feet!
I will be thinking of you today.
Have we heard from Andrea? Have been thinking of her.

Hope the cam survives the weather at Finland, picture all Picasso like at times, disjointed.
that seems to happen all the time, there Margy....
Osprey at Dunedin, Helen
I'm just glad it is up and running
definitely male voices at Maine...
MARGY, that was ME saying "Good Morning".
Helen, I think you ate too much oatmeal last night:)
thanks, I had just look there about 15 minutes ago and it was MT,...wanted to get my osprey fix in honor of Deb....she would be carefully monitoring her ospreys flight now after they left the hatch boxes
MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---DEB will always be with us!!---we meet many people--but only a few leave such an impression as DEB!---She came to ROMNEY to see WV & to ride the EAGLE TRAIN -- She was in line before I got there!--LOLLY & JACK--PAULA--ANNE-MARIE & BRO & SIL--enjoyed the train ride & lunch together!!---She loved WV--we had shared how much SD & WV were similar & how they also were different!!----Since grade school-I had always wanted to go to MT RUSHMORE, etc---I don't know what I would have done if I had not joined you WONDERFUL--BEAUTIFUL--LOVEABLE folks!!!---You have enriched my life---DEB will always be in our hearts---we have become wiser for having DEB PALMER!!--
(used to tease that we must be related--her last name was Palmer & my mother was born in Palmer, WV)
Wanda, when I get upset, I eat, at times I should not eat....had mashed potatos at 2 a.m., the woke up with heartburn this a.m.....just my own private way of grief...weirs, huh?
2 osprey at Dunedin now...doing nestorations

Sorry to ruin your distinguished company this morning Magpie but good morning! ☺♥

Helen, we all have our own way of dealing with grief and sadness. If you want to eat oatmeal or mashed potatoes at midnight...GO FOR IT!
Personally, I would have chosen a LOBSTER!:) LOL
Cam at Dunedin, when it asks if you want to run say run, it does not stay open very long
Dunedin Osprey Cam Florida
What are those guys talking about in Maine ?
Margy, speaking of hearing voices, I heard a disturbance down near Altos last night. Not sure of the time, but somewhere around 11pm, and a short while later, heard a police car with siren blasting, stop in that vicinity. Have you heard anything?
guess what, Wanda....I do have a "Lotsa Lobster" pack from Lobster-Gram in the freezer, that kids had sent us for our anniversary....tails, soup, ravioli, all kinds of goodies...just have been waiting for a time to fix it when hubby was in town, and we had nothing else that we had to do....

MORNIN' DISTINGUISHED BLUEFIELD SHARON & MEGAN!!
yes, Dunedin does not stay on long, but they were so excited about it being up this year, and when the osprey arrived, all you have to do is hit back button and it comes back on again
Wanda, there was a car that hit a deer, and then the pursuit, some of the police might have been heading towards Shepherdstown via back roads.
at least it is a live-streaming cam...
rain squall done at Finland, all calm again
Oh thanks Helen, I have been waiting for that tip.
The birds were fabulous this morning, now just one on the perch
Morning all.
Hope those guys in Maine don't cuss. I might if they turn on their power tools.
morning Ceil....
Good M☺rning Ceil xo
Margy i think that is where they had problems with cussing and people complained.
well, Margy, sometimes they slip, and you can hear some words you might not like...
yeah it was, Ceil...
They do not know that big sisters are listening.
Morning everyone,
Below is a short poem, it was originally written about KOO the Osprey,,, BUT, I now find that it fits so well for our dear Deb, it is my tribute to her, I hope you don'n mind me useing it to remember her by.
Reading back all the posts, I have to say that I too feel the same as you all do, I Bless the day I found you all,, you are my friends, my Blessing, and MY Family, Thank you all.

Don't cry for me, my Family,
For now, I'm but a Whisper on the wind,
I'm free to soar and glide so happily,
For now, I'm but a whisper on the wind,
My Freedom is blessed, I'm sure you now see,
For now, I'm but a whisper on the wind,
Look to the skies, JUST call for me,
For now, I'm but a whisper on the wind,
I'll say to you all, my dearest family,
For now, I'm but a whisper on the wind,
My Spirit soars, please, don't be sad for me,
For now, I'm but a whisper on the wind,
Remember me, from time to time my family,
For now, I AM, THAT WHISPER ON THE WIND !!!
yes we are:)
Beautiful Chrissy and thanks so much for sharing that with us!
Big sister is always listening. . .
