We're going into Triple Split for the day....

Costume Lady said...

That is a beautiful poem, CHRISSY and very fitting for our DEB.

Mits said...

and we were blessed with her wonderful photos...weren't we Chrissy?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

and sometimes I slip and say words you might not like! :)

magpie said...

I emailed Steve, as others might have, concerning Deb.
Although the blog might be refreshing slowly, I am still grateful that we were able to stay on the same thread through the day ♥

Costume Lady said...

Helen, I think it is time for you to break out the LOBSTER GRAM meal. Don't want it to get freezer burned:( Hope your Jubby is home tonight!

magpie said...

the link which Paula posted for Deb's blog is on the Eaglet Momster Home page.
Wonderful we can have that forever...
Thank You Paula

A bigger version of my Deb's Magpie (my avatar) is on my Magpies Roost link...in all its beauty.
I always cherished Deb's comments on any pictures I posted.
So encouraging, all the time.
What a mentor....

Mits said...

well, if I could I would slip and say alot of things.....like, for instance....jmho....I would love to have a new fresh thread every morning and not be at the mercy of someone else to give it to us....as we have seen in this rare and unexpected death of Deb...we were all trying to find her last post...which was last Tuesday night...I thought she had posted something later about Merlin, but now, I'm thinking it was in an email to me...

magpie said...

Thanks for stopping in Chrissy...come back, more often...

Chrissy Beahan said...

Yes Helen pet,,
I've got most of her photo's on file, my fav is the one she took of an Osprey flying down to the water to collect a fish,, it is a beautiful capture,, she was one very talented Lady......
She is going to be so missed..

Speak soon
love and big hugs
Chrissy

magpie said...

Best wishes for a good day, everyone, peace and strength.
We can have a M.A.D. today, Make a Difference...never know when it might reach someone in a moment of desperation.

Have to disappear for ahwile.

glo said...

((((Good Morning nCTC Bloggers)))) Do something special for life around you today in honor of n8trlvrsd our Deb. Loading up the pop up cam and packing up the pooch to head over for coffee and dog treats but had to come by here first this am. Mashed potatoes at 2 am.hmmmm I was awake then. Can't say I thought of that but more milk and cookies was good. Wonder how many calories have been consumed the last say 12 to 18 hours. We all need to go for a walk and see some of that nature today too for sure :-)

Lynne2 said...

Good morning, sort of...Chrissy what a surprise to see you hear and what a beautiful poem. What time is it across the pond?

Mits said...

no Wanda, he is out of town for the rest of the week, left yesterday, but was still here,when I got the email from Diann, Deb's sister, asking me to call. I started to cry, because I knew in my heart it would not be good, but glad he was still here, till I got myself together...

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' CRISSY!---Thank you---that is truly beautiful!---You are such a lovely--thoughtful person!!

Mits said...

well Glo, had the milk, but no cookies....

Lynne2 said...

morning GLO....GREAT idea...doing something today to honor Deb. I think about 500,000 calories have been consumed in the last 12-18 hours. All for good reason.

floralgirl said...

Gotta run to the store cause my stupid husband won't go with me. bbl

Lynne2 said...

sorry about that Megan...MEN!!

Lynne2 said...

Love Margy's M A D day idea too!

normabyrd said...

MARGY -- one thing DEB & I had discussed about SD & WV---Some folks always made jokes about our states......

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LYNN2---Hope you are feeling GREAT this am!!!

Lynne2 said...

Mits it must have been SO hard to make that phone call after you got the email. How awful for you.

Lynne2 said...

Norma, I threw open the curtains and the sun is shining through a beautiful haze and the birds are going crazy and it's all so pretty and I want to feel good, and I will...but I'm still very sad as I know everyone else is too. HOWEVER....it's HARD to stay sad with your cheerful posts, even in sad times! Thanks for that Norma!!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

So good to see everybody on here today except I haven't seen our Mema Jo yet. Hopefully, she is resting this morning.

It is looking like I will be heading to Bluefield maybe this evening. Might be needed there while Granny Riffe is still hospitalized.

magpie said...

We have an Eagle at Bwo

Mits said...

seriously, Miss Sharon...you are not looking for Jo this early are you:)? She probably turned out her lights later than I did.

Mits said...

Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are together in the same yard...as usual, Mei is not that happy about it

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning again all you wonderful folks!!
I am in Bristol with Granny this morning. She had a bad night I think, didn't sleep much. She is really confused, which happens with older folks in the hospital some time. Doc should be in soon and then we will have a game plan. Hopefully we can get in the solution soon, get something going toward the healing process. Thinking of my family today, missing Doug (Tom's brother, been gone a year today). Just doesn't seem possible.

normabyrd said...

LYNN2---Thanks you for hitting me over the head---(think i love you!----I have been feeling 'too' sorry for myself--I do that when I get down!----I didn't even watch the COWBOY game---Now for me that's WAY BELOW ZERO!!---But just heard they WON last night!---It is a beautiful sunny morning -- I hope you have a glorious day!--Think I will hug a child & do a good deed for a friend in need----thanks! ---now if we could only get MOVIN'JIM' to hug a tree!---ho!

ceil said...

Lynne I am with you. Very sad but Deb would not want that.

ceil said...

Megan you can borrow jubby. He will go to the store for you and even bring cookies back.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

No Mits, I really wasn't expecting her yet but just miss her when she is not here.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Ceil, could you send him to Bedford?

hedgie said...

It is the morning of the day...a little hazy and chilly. Didn't rest well, like the rest of you. No waking up from a bad dream.....
Chrissy, love that poem you posted. Very appropo for our Deb.

Hoping Jo is up and about getting ready to go to the Dr. Told her to plant herself in his waiting room until seen!

Had to laugh at Anne-Marie and Lolly's posts last night about the high-speed chase in S'town! They would be surprised how fast people can manuever in small times when trying to evade the law. He ended up in our county....and I think they lost him heading in Dana's direction.

magpie said...

Time to go get my bones rearranged.

Megan you could go to the store and then just keep driving over to NCTC....

TTFN xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Hi Lynn just missed you,
hi everyone else I might not have said Hi to directly.
xo

hedgie said...

Speaking of S'town...in our local rag is a section for anonymous comments. A recent writer from S'town COMPLAINED that in the Apple Harvest Festival Parade (held the same day as our Open House at NCTC) a little 4 y.o. girl on a float sang "Jesus Loves Me"....can you believe it?

normabyrd said...

WHOA SISSY!---There are so many--many prayers for GRANNY!---I just know she is going to be fine!! I had the same feeling with DAVIN'S surgery!!---more prayers as I write...LOVE TO ALL!

Lynne2 said...

Well, I'm off to my Dr's office to pick up my cardio referral. Isn't it odd that you can get a phone call saying that your stress test is abnormal and you can pick up your cardio referral in THREE BUSINESS DAYS. Or in my case 5 total days since I got the call on Wed.!
Then when I get home, I'm going to call the VA for the umpteenth time because SIX WEEKS AGO last Friday, Steve had some blood testing and chest x-ray and HAS NOT HEARD A SINGLE WORD FROM THE DOCTOR.
Anyway....hope everyone has a walk and talks to God, or does a good deed for someone today in honor of Deb. See y'all later.

hedgie said...

Many counter comments to the complaint in todays edition. AMEN.

Mits said...

yeah well it talks all kinds, doesn't Lynn.

Mits said...

thanks, Lynn, glad you reminded me...had my quarterly blood tests 2 weeks ago, was supposed to call last week, I forgot...

Lynne2 said...

someone complained because a little girl sang "Jesus Loves Me" ?? ARE YOU KIDDING?? Well, he should remain anonymous, the yellow bellied coward. My message to that person: "Stay home next year you jackass!! And guess what...Jesus loves YOU too whether you like it or not!"
(of course, Jesus is none to proud of ME right now. I always say; I know I'm going to heaven some day, but He will likely put a dunce cap on my head and make me sit in the corner for a while!

Mits said...

and I will be sitting right nest to you Lynne....when I talked to Sharon yesterday, told her I know God does not want to hear me complaining to Him about taking Deb, when there are so many other people He could get rid of on this earth...

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HEDGIE---wanted to call you last night--but didn't have #-----tried to forget!!---after doing some reading last night--still woke up this am---must take it a day at a time------GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US!

Lynne2 said...

well Mits, hopefully they haven't called you because everything is fine, but call anyway. We KNOW Steve had an very unhappy high cholesterol reading with HDLs way too low and LDLs way too high. Last year it took 5 weeks for the Doctor to call so this time, we went to the office at the VA where you can sign off to have your test results mailed, so we got them 3 weeks ago. We are working on diet at this time to help get it down. I just think that is UNACCEPTABLE for the Dr to have yet to call him! It makes me VERY frightened for other Veterans who rely on the VA for care.

Lynne2 said...

That's funny Mits! At least I'll be in good company! It's just so HARD to be Christianly sometimes!

Mits said...

mine always tells me to call, in about 3 days, after the tests, if anything were seriously wrong he would call me back... I just get lazy about it...and he knows me to well...but your reminder was a big help..now if I will only remember to call him.

Mits said...

yeah....damn straight it is hard...I kind of laugh at people like that, because one day, they will wake up on the other side of eternity, and won't they be surprised....now that is jmho

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Thelma pointed out to me last night in the pic of Lib and Belle that Deb took, the bark is worn where the eagles stand there a lot.

ceil said...

What was that child thinking? Lynne and Mits I will have to go to heaven in discuise. Is that spelled right?

Mits said...

yeah, I know you will definitely have to go in the back door, you little heathen:):):)

ceil said...

Don't get me started on doctors.

Mits said...

oh yeah, sore spot with you, huh, Ceil

ceil said...

HE loves me.

ceil said...

Off to do some chores. Have a great day.

Costume Lady said...

Ceil, you absolutely could not disguise yourself...you would giggle and give yourself away:)

ceil said...

Wanda you are so right. I am doing that now.

Lynne2 said...

yeah, we'll all be sitting in the "dunce cap corner of Heaven", giggling like bad little heathens. :(

Lynne2 said...

yeah, we'll all be sitting in the "dunce cap corner of Heaven", giggling like bad little heathens. :(

Costume Lady said...

My wish is that we could all get together and have our own MEMORIAL SERVICE for Deb. Perhaps at the nest tree in the Spring?

Costume Lady said...

Oh yes, Lynne...there HAS to be a special place in heaven for all Momsters. We are a rare breed and will probably all be wearing dunce caps and Eagle Beads:)

Lynne2 said...

Sounds beautiful Wanda...or maybe sooner?

Lynne2 said...

OH NO....I won't have eagle beads!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I am thinking we won't be able to enter heaven without our eagle beads, will we?

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Eaglelanders

Sorry Jo missed you and Ed's anniversary so HAPPY BELATED 51ST ANNIVERSARY.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO NORMA'S DIVAN.

Sissy what is wrong with Mrs. Riffe?

Mits I'd like to tell that guy too a thing or two about the little girl singing Jesus Loves Me.

Is Gee Gee OK????

Costume Lady said...

Come to see us SOON Lynne to get some Eagle Beads!

wvgal_dana said...

My delete it posted twice.

Mits said...

was thinking the same thing about that Wanda....and you are right, Ceil would be giggling on her way up, and He might change her direction, but the guy below would send her right back....

Mits said...

yes, Dana we would all like to have a go around with that guy

Mits said...

I'm sorry, got this picture in my head of a bunch of women arriving at Heaven's gates, with just eagle beads on....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Heathens, that is exactly what we are but of the good persuasion! :)

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning, Dana. GeeGee is still having tummy issues. I truly think it is her nerves. We went to a Church Council meeting yesterday after church and had lunch before the meeting started. She ate everything on her plate, even though she said she couldn't eat a thing!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

This is all too good. Now I am picturing the eagle beads, nakedness and maybe a bathroom involved? :) I promise to not go any farther than that! :)

Costume Lady said...

Oh my, Helen. Maybe I should pass out FIG LEAVES at our next gathering to go along with the Eagle Beads;)

Mits said...

ok, I'm laughing so hard I'm snorting....Sharon, don't go there:)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Dana, Granny Riffe fell last week and has multiple fractures - hip, pelvis, pubic rami, wrist. They have to do surgery when they get her Coumadin level reversed.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Me too Mits! Love ya!

hedgie said...

That does your heart good, doesn't it Wanda? Think the key to getting the elderly to eat well is to eat with others, rather than alone!

Ha, ha......I can see us now....sitting on the right hand of God in our Eagle beads while we try to explain to the Father that we are the bestest group despite our little slips!!

Lynne, you'll get your eagle beads the first time we meet you in person!!!

Lynne2 said...

hahaha!! too much you guys! well, I've gotta run. Glad Gee Gee is OK!

hedgie said...

My drs. office is really good---they call the next day with blood test results.
Sure know what you mean about the VA, Lynne. SIL has to wait til following month apptmt. to get results....and for med changes based on them....dumb!

Mits said...

and we can join in and sing a heavenly verse of On Eagles' Wings

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, who knew Hurricane Ida was nearing Florida's coast. If Train doesn't twitter it or you all put it on here, I don't know squat! :)

hedgie said...

Megan, were you without power for 12 hrs. Fri. night/Sat. AM??? Blurb in the Herald says 4 poles went down when a regulator fell after a car hit a pole, affecting Sharpsburg and Keedysville.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I think a service at the nest in the spring is a great idea. I will have to let you all do the singing cause I will run off Lib, Belle and any babies with my singing!

Mits said...

I have been watching that one, Sharon...we may get some rain and breeze later in the week, from its remnants

stronghunter said...

Hi folks,

My planning block. . .

Am bringing the hammer down on my block one students. They are plenty smart and can be plenty lazy. Collected homework. Only two out of eight did it and their work was incomplete. No homework=zero in the gradebook.

Quiz tomorrow. They need to redeem themselves.

I read through all of your messages since last night and am thinking about all of you today.

hedgie said...

Email from Jo....routine labs this am and sees dr. at 3pm. Ed is driving.

normabyrd said...

DANA!--SISSY was on earlier & GRANNY RIFFLE (TOM'S MOTHER) has surgery planned today!---She is in BEDFORD HOSPITAL!!

Mema Jo said...

Morning All! Going down for scheduled blood work this am then Dr appointment for 3 pm today. I'll keep you posted.
Can't have my coffee until after lab work.

Have not read all your morning comments. Sounds like I better put my eagle beads where I can grab them fast!

Love you guys !! ((hugs)) ♥

wvgal_dana said...

Yes I just read here on this blog where she fell and really did a number on herself. Bless our elderly parents. You are right about them eating with others. Mom does that too. Can't eat and when we take her out I don't say anything about how much she just ate hee hee but I do Thank GOD. ( :

Mits said...

don't forget your fig leafs, Jo

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Norma, Granny Riffe is in Bristol, TN hospital. I am in Bedford. :)

Mits said...

there is finally A NEW THREAD!

Mema Jo said...

3 things for now: 1) Helen is trying to contact Janie about donations in Deb's name. 2) Lynn is putting together a Memorial Book with all your comments either here on the blog or in emails. 3) Offer you condolences on line to the funeral home
http://www.2squirrels.com/hansenfuneralhome/view_obituary.php?id=285

I'll call or someone will call Deb's sister Dianne or Pam to get an update on the Memorial to be held.

Lolly said...

Oh, my! What a chatty group this morning! I think we are all needing each other today.

Chrissy, your poem was beautiful and very fitting. I think that should be read at Deb's memorial...from us. Of course, it did start the tears all over again.

But, now I am giggling, and snorting with tears running picturing us all at heavens gate with just our eagle beads. That is just a hoot!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

The doctors just came in. Surgery in the morning, don't know exactly what time, may be able to tell us this evening. So, we are heading towards a solution.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I thought Deb's last post was at 10:55 on Tuesday night but I can't find it now.
