Oh my goodness! Thank you Steve, just wished you a Happy Thanksgiving on the old thread!
xo ♥ I will spread the good news
Good Morning Everyone...
Happy Thanksgiving.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!
Judie
Morning all! Happy Thanksgiving again.
Didn't mention that I enjoyed Jack Hanna on Larry King last night. He had a bald eagle and a variety of other critters. Lynn, you would have had to look out for the tarantula--not my favorite, either. I was talking with Rus at the time, so did not catch everything.
Rus was pretty shocked at the people who crashed the White House party. He experienced their security when he worked there. He has said you just don't wander around that place. Not good for your health. Obviously, there are some serious gaps.
Thanks, Steve, for the new thread, and thanks, Margy for the call-over.
Happy Turkey Day!!
Judie - I fell asleep trying to watch Larry King at Midnight! Missed the bald eagle. Was it one from the National Eagle Center?
Neat foggy view at BWO
OK, that comment was for Shirley!
Not sure, Paula. I was talking with Rus while I was watching. Maybe they will run that episode over the weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving again.
From old thread:
LOL,
Mits and Ceil...that Annie is one spunky gal to be up to having all the families in so soon after having a new baby!!
Wanda, stay out of that moonshine!!
Just heard an interesting--as in strange!--ambulance call. Someone in the ER waiting room with chest pain...I was like WHAT????? Turns out the patient wants to go to the VA Medical Center!

for a few minutes in remembrance of our dear friend.
Thank You, Steve & HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
I am thankful to have all you Eagle Buddies as friends!! ☺ ♥
Chilled last night, so am finishing straightening up house--company Friday, but today going to stepson's for turkey.
Just got Susan Boyle's CD!!!!It's playing now. Her voice is so heavenly, it gives you chills and uplifts your spirits!
Best day to all.....
Going to close down for now but will return before festivities start in my home.

I was at work yesterday and couldn't hear the sound on the Decorah nest. Really cool!
Here's the link again. Login by pressing the "Guest" Button. Press the white arrow on the cam stream to activate it.
Decorah Cam
Oh, and the Decorah cam now has infrared!
And here is some pics of the new cam installation. Gives some nice views of the tree and adults!
Slideshow by Nora
Paula, every time I try to go to Decorah it takes me to an advertisement about Luther college???
Hang on, let me find another link.
Click on the link on the top left for the Decorah cam
Xcel Link
Then click the login as guest button
ok cool, thanks..was confused by the Luther college thing..
that is a really good view of the nest....
and sound too....awesome:)
their osprey nest has logs in it....
eagle BWO
Hitting the shower, then off to John's. Hope everyone is stuffed by the time I return!
Bye, Paula.
I'm ok with the first link published
Luther College sponsors the cam or runs it..
Clicking on the 'GUEST' connects you.
My link last year for Decorah was called Nest Cams on my favorites.
Time to await the arrival of guests...
Dressing is tasty - turkey is coming with son and dil.. I am tempted to cut the pumpkin pie! I always was a
dessert before dinner person! lol
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WISHES TO ALL
SEE YOU LATER THIS EVENING.......♥
HAPPY THANKSGIVING...
Everything is all ready to transport to GeeGee's. Didn't have any instant potatoes, so had to make from scratch. couldn't find my mixer (I don't even know if I have one), so we are having lumpy potatoes. Gene says that the bits of turkey that I put in the gravy will disguise the lumps:)
Need a bath and then we are on our way.
Love each and everyone of you...have a wonderful day. See you tonight, if the turkey doesn't put me to sleep;)
Wanda, you should try the Bob Evans mashed potatoes...nice and creamy and smooth:)
and ready in the microwave in 5 minutes
Thanks, Helen...will try them at Christmas. I hate making mashed potatoes...haven't done them in years. Karla always brings the potatoes, BUT she's at the OBX:(
Spending this holiday with her inlaws:)
I used to do all the work with real ones, just for hubby and I, stopped that...soon as I found these...Have fun:)
Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
HAPPY, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Running around like crazy this morning, but just wanted to stop in and say 'Howdy'!
Steve, thanks for the new thread. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and a nice weekend!
Looks like most of you back east have already hit the road running.
Prayers for safe traveling!
I've got a lot of stuff going on right now, so will say 'bye' until later. Have a blessed day, and I'll talk to you tonight. :o]
off to get dressed ...talk to you all later....:)
Been wondering where the pretty little quilt for one of my spare bedrooms was. Just found out it had made its way to Will's lair along with the nice new fluffy blanket that disappeared from the family room a couple of weeks ago.
His comforter got covered with wood splinters when they put in the new floor, and he can't clean it in my washer because it is too big. So my new floor caused the disappearance of the quilt and blanket.
Sounds busy everywhere!
What a terrific Thanksgiving treat! Diego is toddling around the entrance/exit of the den doing some investigating. Curiosity galore.
How cute, Judie!
When I checked, he was crashed.
Hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving.
Mine starts at 4. Nearly time to go.
Hi!
I'm just about to make the turkey stuffing. Once that's in the bird and it's all in the oven, I'll have a while to sit & watch old movies on TV. Got everything vacuumed and dusted this morning. Need to wash a couple of our "turkey" dishes and set the table. They're 'Wild Turkeys' by Johnson Brothers. Have a huge turkey platter that matches. When Hubby & I were just married, his Grandma Young packed the set of 12 up in newspaper in a not-too-sturdy cardboard box and sent it to us--PA to CA--on a Greyhound bus! Not one piece got chipped or broken! Talk about miraculous! Well, better go do the stuffing. Back later--enjoy your dinner! :o]
Good Thanksgiving Afternoon, my Eagle Pals.
Night light is coming on early at the nest....darkness looms.
Have read everyone's reports...my goodness, I am exhausted !
I would have shared my mixer with Wanda, in exchange for that Deet Liver...so lovingly processed by the Captain....
I made smashed potatoes myself, polled my co-workers who say they like a few lumps.
Got a pile to stuff to load into the car....and will be heading to work soon.
It's a True and Blessed Treasure, to have you all as my Eagle Pals.
xo ☺ ♥
Lynne - I am sorry you could not view ISS and Atlantis Wednesday, but you are right, Friday night - could be pretty good....high in the sky again like last night...sounds like you have gotten hooked just like the rest of us ☺
...and we have our Moon and Jupiter to look forward to.
Soon, Megan will give us the name for the upcoming Full Moon ☺
Well, remember we will have two full moons in December- on Dec. 2, the snow moon or winter moon or even beaver moon, and Dec. 31st, the 'blue moon'.
Thank you Megan!
I think our Royal Pair are out looking for some fresh turkey ☺
I had a pile of Canada Geese fly over about 20 mins ago....probably at least 100 - heading South but I think they are local. They were doing their best to get lined up in V's but weren't doing a very good job of it.
I am headed to work now...have yellow on for tonight, and a red blouse to put on at Midnight.
Tomorrow might be Black Friday, but it is always RED FRIDAY in our Hearts ♥
Take Care, I love you...
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
Good evening all.
Once again, we have sad news to share.
Margy became that our Dana's dear husband Ed, passed away late Wednesday afternoon. He was with family through the day, including Dana's mother, Ed's sister, nephews and niece. Additional family members gathered together at the hospital.
He was transported to the hospital with breathing difficulties, and failed to survive. The ambulance crew attending to him included a beloved nephew and niece.
Margy reports that family was gathering through the evening, and she was unable to make direct contact by telephone but did leave a message this afternoon expressing sadness, condolence and prayers.
Funeral arrangements are not yet known at this time, but it is possible this information will appear in Friday's local newspapers.
May we all offer our deep sympathy and prayers for strength and comfort to the family. Ed's illness is over, he suffers no more, and may his loving and caring ways sustain Dana and all the family through this profound loss.
We were waiting to make actual contact with Dana before posting this information, but are understanding of how busy she must be at this time...but feel that we need to share this information with our Momsters and Dadsters, in loving concern for our Eagle Pal..."
...Margy xo
Dana, dear, if you check in, please know that my deepest sympathy is with you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Love you, gal.
My TG dinner was okay------there's really nothing as good as our own, is there??? But good company, and I sure got enough to eat!
On the way home, I am 95% sure that I saw an adult eagle! It was flying low, and despite the 4:30 duskiness and drizzle, I could clearly make out the wing edges and saw glimpses of white. I am really certain it was.....have asked Margy to ask anyone she knows at the firehall where I saw it if they have ever seen them around there before.
Loretta, I got Boyle's CD, too----great. isn't it?
Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to land at 9:44AM EST Friday.
Dana,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. You and and all of your family members are in my prayers.
Judie
Oh my...it is absolutely pouring rain here.....sounds like a summer storm w/o thunder.
Happy Thanksgiving to Steve and all at NCTC and all my eagle buddies (I hope I can call you that).
The meal has been over for a few hours now and Jim & I are relaxing. Jim did most of the cooking and only 1 son shared our little feast. Had to lasso him to help his dad clean up though. He's notorious for getting out of that chore. But I still love him.
Did a few of my exercises. The area under my arm and across the chest and arm continue to be quite a pain. I'm wondering if the surgeon may have pulled to many muscles or tendons to cover the aparatus. My therapists have asked for more time to get be back to ?normal? - whatever that may be; I don't remember ....
Going to have a piece of that bought pie now ... Jim's waiting for me.
... later
Dana,
I am so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I know your heart is broken and not much can help to console you right now. Please feel free to call me if I can help with ANYTHING.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22
(((Hugs)))
Contact has been made by Dana with a phone call to me and we chatted for quite a long time. My thoughts upon hearing from Margy & Lynn yesterday was that knowing Dana as I do, she wouldn't want to spoil anyone's Thanksgiving. And that is what she said this evening. She appreciates your prayers and positive thoughts. I will say that Dana & Ed had a very special love for each other and they knew each other so well. There won't be any schedule of plans until after tomorrow - concerning services and flowers. Dec 8 may be the first their daughter can
get in from Colorado. There will be a one day viewing and Ed will have on his Steelers' shirt. Ed is then to be cremated.
Dana has so many good memoris of her Ed and she appreciates them all. I think they both knew that the time had come.
Good night everyone. Turning my light off but will leave the night light on for others. Very sad for Dana.
Goodnight, Judie!
Had a turkey sandwich, and now I am very drowsy. Sofa time for a short panda nap!
Kristen's daughter Heather and Jeff announced their engagement to the family! He proposed to her last evening and she said YES! They have been dating for 3 years... Both were into their education and now since receiving their Masters and have their jobs they have taken the big step. I asked Jeff if he had ask Heather's dad for her hand in marriage and he said Oh No because I didn't think he would keep a secret from Kristen! They were all so excited with the very happy news.
Oh, wow. That is just too sad. So sorry to hear the news of Ed's death. Dana, my heart goes out to you, I know how much you two cared for each other.
Hope everyone enjoyed their day. We had a fabulous time with the M&M girls. They think Helen and I are nuts. They may not be wrong about that.
Sad news and great news.
Dana so sorry to hear about Ed's passing.
Jo great news about Heather Have they set a date.
No date set yet.
We were all kidding them about
10-10-10 or 11-11-11
Her Aunt told her NOT to run away to HI
like her sister did! We want a traditional wedding! I'm sure they will make plans all unique to themselves.
so sorry for your loss Dana,
congrats to Heather,and your family, Jo
had a great time with the girls today....Ben mostly slept:)
good night night everyone.
Just got home from my extended family gathering.
Dana I am so sorry hear about Ed. Please know that you have my prayers and are in my thoughts.
God bless you.
Jo, congratulations to your family and to Jeff and Heather.
Met Rus's new girlfriend for the first time tonight. She is very nice and seemed comfortable with being dropped into the mix with 29 other family members, many of whom I had never met!
You Facebook fans be sure to see the EVENTS for Saturday on the Home Page.
Dana,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Ed. Please know that we love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers today and always.
Hi Shirley
Nite Mits.
Good night all.
Had a wonderful day at John and Ajay's...12 adults and 4 kids and a ton of delicious food and desserts. I am stuffed to the gills!
Jo, so awesome to hear about Kristen's daughter getting engaged!
Night Mits and Ceil!
Events for what, Jo?
Peeking in to say a Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope your day has been as glorious as mine! Dinner was yummy...the family toasted the chef. lol Watched the parade and now overdosing on football. The three boys had a ball playing together. Michael and family have gone. Putting Joseph and Jacob to bed soon.
Glad you had a wonderful day, Lolly.
The EVENTS on FB home page always
announces birthdays... Just wanted you to see it as Saturday is a very
special birthday to me since I was at
his birthing!
Congrats to Heather and Jeff, Jo, as well as the their families.
Goodnight Ceil and Mits. Glad you had fun with the kids.
Hey, Mits, saw the Made in the Shade business location today (remember Margy saw their truck on the road?).
Carolyns' (my eldest) nearest neighbors just rolled their truck down the side of mountain...both are okay. New full-size pick-up. It literally sliced a tree in half. Sure had angels on their shoulders.
Time for me to end this Turkey Day.
Good Night All
Peace to All
Prayers for ALL
((hugs)) ♥ ♥
Prayers especially for Dana - Like she said to me "Ed is breathing freely now"
So sad to hear of Ed's passing. Dana you have my prayers for you and your family.
Jo, I couldn't view your events!
Night, night. Get a good rest.
Got on without reading the blog. Then something on facebook caught my eye.
Dana.....I was so surprised. So sorry and thinking of you. Glad to have met Ed last year. I am so sorry and sending you (((hugs))).
I feel so badly for Dana, that it is hard to recall the fun of our day with family.
It sounds like Dana was expecting this, sooner or later, and is taking it very well. She has her faith and family to see her through these sad days to come.
God Bless you, Dana.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Well, gang, I am slam wore out, as Sissy says. I will talk to all y'all in the morning. Stay WARM!! Hoping the SNOW stays on the western side of the divide!!!
Good Evening, Everyone!
Just getting back here after that big turkey dinner.
Dana,
I'm SO very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I know you and Ed had a very close and special relationship--and words can't adequately express the sorrow in my heart for you. Prayers for you and for your entire family. You will be in my thoughts. (((HUGS))) Love you!
Mema Jo,
Please convey my congratulations to Heather and Jeff! What a special Thanksgiving Day!
Lynn,
I'm mighty glad to hear that Carolyn's neighbors are OK! The Lord surely was watching out for them! Talk about a close call--Phew!
Hope you all have a really good sleep tonight. I'm about to give it up. A big turkey dinner will do it every time. Prayers being said for everyone, especially for Dana and her family. God bless her with comfort and strength.
The night light is shining brightly over the nest, the porch light's on, and the eye scanner is ready to go. Sleep tight, everyone! G'night! :o}
There is an Eagle in the nest...
