Just a quick visit. So sorry I missed Belle and Lib. Hope everyone is having fun.
Judie, they are there now.
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Steve and Judie.
Both still in nest.
So glad I returned to apologize for my poor manners. Got distracted. Thank you Steve for the new thread and, again, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you, Shirley. Do have a nice treat this morning, afterall.
both in the nest!
Merry Christmas, Steve!
Enjoy the day with friends and family.
Aren't they gorgeous!
They really are, Paula.
Had just a little bit of frozen pellets here earlier...nothing at present. Lots of it is evaporating before it hits the ground.
Haven't seen any precipitation here, yet.
Merry Christmas! I wish each of you peace, love, health, and happiness!
Christmas is here but presents have not been opened. Jack and I opened our stockings and enjoyed a delicious breakfast, but it has been very quiet. Fritz family can not get here yet. Roads are very bad. Hopefully they will be here in another two hours. We may eat and then open presents.
A special Merry Christmas to Steve. Love the picture on the blog. I guess that is one of ours???? Belle or Lib?
And love seeing them in the nest right now! Wow!
Paula, are you getting pictures?
Hi Lolly!
Looks like munching!
That is what I was thinking...a meal!
Yes, I've taken a couple...only on a break!
Gone!
I had to leave the blog and come back on. Could not post.
Well, that worked!
I've gotten a few pics this morning.
Good Shirley! Those who are not here will appreciate knowing about the visit.
I am so glad a lot of you have gone to see our snow pictures. We had fun posing the "Hanging with Santa" picture. It was made especially for you! lol Santa and I were toasting to what fantastic friends you are!
Going to go make the dinner rolls. Takes a couple of hours for them to rise. I do have a fire in the fireplace to help them rise.
Might.....BBL
Love to all!♥♥♥

Merry Christmas, Jim.
Merry Christmas, Everyone!
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS, JIM AND JEN!
Everyone be on the lookout for my Christmas card(s) to you in the Momsters e-mail! For some reason, I've had trouble with my American Greetings account, and every once in a while they will send an e-card to the Twilight Zone. Sent all of you a card twice yesterday, and finally, late, late last night got a confirmation that it would be sent today some time.
Hubby and I have been up for quite a while. Have enjoyed watching our MANY feathered friends on the patio bird feeders, while having our breakfast. It's really pretty cold here (Yay!)--43 when we got up earlier, about 49 now, and going to get to the high 60s later.
Sorry to have missed seeing our eagles this morning--wishing them lots of blessings on Christmas day!
Praying for safe journeys for all who are traveling today!
Want to thank Steve for the beautiful eagle picture on the blog!
Well, guess I'd better go get ready to hit the road. Hubby is taking me to the movies to see 'The Young Victoria', a new movie made by Princess Fergie, about Queen Victoria. MTBR. Will be back later with a movie review.
Have a wonderful day. Love you guys! :o]
Counting down to feast time. Still don't know whether the crews will make it or not---will know more when they set out, I guess. Ready to peel potatoes and set table, so time to put puter away. See all y'all later tonight. Hope everyone is enjoying the day. TTFN.
Steve, Happy Holidays to you & all the NCTC staff. What a beautiful picture!!!
Ho, Ho, Ho & a Blessed Xmas to all.
Getting ready to head out to relative's for dinner.
Plz check a gift picture I just put on Blogspot. Judie should especially enjoy!
Bye for now ☺
Well, what a fantastic Christmas gift all the Eagle Eyes were getting from the nest today!
I see the Beaking picture - thanks Paula!
What a fantastic picture and greeting from Steve on the New Thread page.... Thank you Steve, and Merry Christmas to you and your family....
Hope all is going well in all our Eagle Corners ♥
Wonderful white Christmas, Lolly. Pretty pics! Just taking a quick break again...gotta wash out my favorite mixing bowl and start on Dessert! Roast is roasting, taters are ready for the oven, china is clean.
Just need the kids, LOL
Hi Margy, Merry Christmas!
Whoa, Christmas greeting phone call from step-daughter in Florida. Did not even ASK about the weather there...☺
I really enjoyed your Christmas pictures Paula and Lolly, Shirley, saw Wanda's tree too, and have a few more new ones to check.
Oh, I got my tree up! Ha Ha, it is on Magpie's Roost link, is my miniature one-room box.
There's a lot of things in there, including one Siamese cat and one frog. "Where's Waldo" lol
xo
and Merry Christmas once again to everyone...
I missed a few while I was sleeping, again like a Yule Log.
Staying put I think, darkness looms, roads wet and temperatures hovering around freezing mark,
hope that most or all can get their traveling and visiting done...
You might have to click and make those pictures bigger to get some of the detail.
Hint: frog and cat fans, check the Settle bench in the corner! ♥ ☺
Just talked to Shirley, she has a houseful of joy, and Lynn is a'waiting on her family....☺\
Oh yes, I made cookies! Ha Ha, you would need a tweezer to pick them up ! ♥
I have tweezers....
Low calorie cookies for sure!
Hi Megan...Merry Christmas ♥
Merry Christmas Margy♥
Hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas!
Margy, thank you so much for calling. I hope you get together with your family soon.
Gotta go prevent doggies from stealing turkey.
BBL.
One Santa Christmas Angel Story:
Midnight, lady calls, lives way down in the boondocks...
trying to get to Baltimore with her husband to see her children.
Car had flat tire, they put the doughnut tire on, got stuck in snow.
Minutes running out on phone, they are getting cold and more sad.
Truck had flat tire, no jack.
They had already closed up the house thinking they were leaving.
Each thought the other had the house keys, neither did, they were locked inside the house. :(
Desperate and Sad. Our officer could not get to them, roads too bad, said to try to get a tow truck down to them.
Called around, found the best one, wonderful Santa ventured out.
He called us back about an hour later, with an update. Said they looked like they did not have two nickels to rub together.
Changed tire, gave them some gas money as well! I am sure he did not charge for his time or service.
I told him I bet he was smothered with kisses and hugs.
He said, it has been a long time since he saw a grown man cry. I offered to give him some money for what he did, he said:
MERRY CHRISTMAS, I'M GOING HOME AND GOING BACK TO BED !
..and they walk amongst us....
God Bless Angel "Mike," and God Bless Us, Every One.
They'll deal with the locked up house no keys later.
Another story later.
Going to next door widow lady's for some chow. Senior Services brought her a complete meal, so we are sharing.
I might miss the Eagles...but they will be around every day for us ☺
xoxo ☺ ♥
Yes, I cried too....
Thank you Shirley. Yes, Tom your son-in law, is the luckiest man alive !
just love those stories, Margy and you know that there are so many of them that we never hear about! Happens everyday - God moves in mysterious ways and during our lifetime we get to be one of those chosen angels and do God's work. Love & Peace to ALL!
I so love stories like that Magpie So glad I stopped over to read the Blog. yes they do walk among us.
Merry Christmas once again to all.
It has been raining a bit here in the valley..the temp is almost 40°
So very thankful the freezing rain didn't come to our area.
Hi Glo, I'm just having a very peaceful day. Waiting for 2 more of family to stop by. I have been able to
have beautiful memory making happenings last evening and today.
The Lake Washington streaming cam is on. There are 2 very large birds looking for nestovers - not eagles and not juvies.
BBL
Hi, Gang,
We're home from the movie--'The Young Victoria' is just the most fantastic story! We really liked it. Can see why Emily Blunt, who plays Victoria, is nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes. Victoria & Albert are a beautiful love story.
Would like to wish all of you the very best Christmas ever! Hopefully my e-card will arrive some time before New Year's! Gotta run now--got to finish preparing dinner. BBL! Love you guys! :o]
And now, a real eagle at Lake Washington ☺
Lake Washington, Washington State Eagle Cam
Thanks for the LW alert, Jo,
and Merry Christmas to you too, Andrea and Ken
Here is another link to Critterzoom with other cams you can visit, some on line now, some not. LW is on there
Critterzoom cams
2nd eagle just arrived at LW
cam is a little choppy
My eyelids are down to my ankles.
Think I am going to finish some sleeping...
maybe will catch some more of you later.
Hi Glo and Dex - I saw you peeking in...
Sure hope the day and evening have been good ones for everyone.
TTFN xo xo
Ah yes, Lowreeda, I do appreciate the Darth/Star Wars/Panda Hat picture.
Happy late evening, everyone. Sounds as if everyone has had a lovely day.
I'll be back later to say goodnight. Need to elevate my leg/foot for awhile.
Oh, the other Christmas Angel story, forgot I was going to post it.
Lady and her children return home from Midnight Mass around 2 am, they get out of car, woman drops her entire key ring, house, car keys, into the snow. (Ever done that? I did it four times last week! )
She can't find them....calls us frantically on 9-1-1, she and the kids are cold, really cold.
We dispatched deputies, they first tried to locate their metal detector at the office, no success, four of them head out, one became a Hero very quickly, 'cause he found them.
Guess those guys got some hugs and kisses too. ☺
Well, eyelids are really protesting now!
xo later
All quiet here finally, presents opened and played with and repacked...tummies full...leftovers in the fridge...still a couple of dishes to do...
Playing with my new digital photo frame, so I had to come down to the computer so snage some pics on a flash drive...bbialw...
Oh, Lolly...made the sopapilla cheesecake for dessert...BIG HIT...Told everyone it was from the Bacon Pasta lady...John said tell that lady it's really good!
Sounds like everyone had a lovely day and sweet dreams will be the order of the night.
Forgot to mention earlier, I really like the eagle picture Steve provided for today's thread.
Turning my light out now but leaving the night light on for others. Andy, please set the alarm for us when you come in.
Merry late Christmas evening!
Sounds like we've all had some good times today. Kids all made it, dinner was delicious, if I do say so myself! Of course, they all said so---and love seeing the SIL's chow down!
Leftovers all divvied (SIL cleaned off bird carcass, as he does every year); girls cleaned up kitchen. I've emptied dishwasher and reloaded. Everything basically is but back together except to put china, flatware and crystal back into china cupboard---will have to wait til tomorrow---too tired and don't want to break anything.
Happy Xmas Evening Everyone!!
Got back from relative's dinner and been working in pictures. Will post some later and hop to do a set of Xmas trees before New Year!!!!
The wonderful lady, stepson's G'Ma, who invited us will be 90 in Jan!!!!!I'd like to be half as sharp as she is now!
Lowreeda---love your new hat! Funny story about the gift-wrap!! I think every family has had one of those back and forth exchange things at some point! Too funny!
Margy, some very special angels at work last night for sure---including you! Heard some of the traffic about the flats, but not the outcome! Hope those stories make the paper!
Love your dollhouse decorating---you done good, kiddo!! Looks like a magical Christmas in days of yore!
Going to hit the tub before it's time for news. BBIALW.
Oops, g'night, Judie! Rest well!
I see I still can't type & even trimmed nails!
Margy, that is a wonderful Samaritan story similar to what I read you did last night by checking on GG!!!
BTW, we had rain this PM & altho lots of melting snow, it really helped the fog that was around when we were on Beltway about 4:30.
Well, it looks like most of us who were traveling today, have made it home safely. I-81 and Rt. 7 to Berryville were cleared very well and cindered well...no problems at all.
We really enjoyed joining the 2 families together. Hope we can do it again next year.
I have posted some photos from today, on JUST FOR FUN...MOSTLY BABY PICS:)
I am headed for bed, Gene is already there, 20 minutes ago
Playing with a newborn wore him out;)LOL
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
REST WELL AND LONG
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Hello Eagle Pals again, and Good Night Wanda..
really wonderful that it seems that everyone that had plans to go somewhere or have people come visit were able to see those dreams come true !
I hope that this is the case from folks we haven't heard from yet too
Merry Christmas once again to everyone
I am thankful for such a peaceful joyful day. Time now to say
Good Night All
Peace, Hope & Joy to All
Prayers for everyone
((hugs)) ♥ ♥ ♥
Good Night Jo, Judie, and those heading for the pillows.
Sound like Paula got a cool new toy....
Way cool, Margy. Now I have to decide which pics I want to put on it...can hold up to 1000!!
My grandson's Dad had a sudden severe onset of what is being called viral gastroenteritis last night, so he spent a few hours at the ER and is on the mend, but it put a bit of a dent in their Christmas fun this morning.
So James's Santa was working on a late Christmas afternoon gift fest with him....he said that James was a good sport about everything. I hope to catch up with "the boys" Saturday or Sunday.
Christmas Dinner with next door neighbor lady was a Christmas blessing for both her and me here.
I passed up two invitations to some dear friends' homes due to the weather. I am a bit of a wimp when roads and weather are the way they were
Paula, that could be a tough choice for you! You might need another one! I have a little one that holds 20 pics, now I want to go play with that !
oh i just checked it holds 60 photos that's a little better ☺
I am wondering if Lynne and Steve were able to get to Terra Alta...has anyone heard anything on that?
*** Wanda's pics on her blog are beautiful! Jayden made everyone's day
Just wanted to check in with everybody and say good night. Merry Christmas everybody. I hope it was a blessed for all my eagle budlets!
It was great seeing Lib and Belle for so long this morning.
You're absolutely right, Jo!
Wonderful family experience with those photos !
Hope your Christmas was a Blessed one too Sharon...
Say HEY to T-Bird and Buddy for me, please ?
xoxo
and Mattie! If I read right, she is with you too...did Justin make the trip ?
Sharon: Santa on a TRAIN, on my Fun and Dandy link by the way ☺
Mattie did come with us but Justin opted out. I am going to see Santa on a Train now! :)
Love the Santa on a Train! :)
And he loves you, Sharon !!!
Good Night Precious Pals...
headed to bed with a book,
thinking of our loved ones gone before us, praying for strength and comfort, wellness and joy
I love you all, dearly
and
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
Not good news, if anyone has missed it...terrorist bombing attempt on a plane going into Detroit earlier today...some fire...subdued and fire put out...
Nice pics, Margy, Wanda and Lowreeda!
Great pics, Wanda. Looks like everyone is love with baby Jayden!!
I have one of those wallet-size digital pic things---only holds 20! Argh! Talk about hard to make a choice!
Got my thing that converts slides to computer from Chrsitie and Shannon!!!! Guess how I'll spend winter???
Getting a piece of pumpkin pie and then heading for bed.
Good night to all...hope the sugar plum fairies stay with you tonight.
Love you all. Peace and prayers.
Hope everyone made it to Lolly's OK...haven't heard from her, so hope she is busy with family.
Hitting the hay for tonight...picking up one brother and heading to the others for the day...will check in later tomorrow night! Maybe in the morn before I go.
Merry Christmas, once again!
Hugs to all♥
A quick hello and good night. Things have quietened down here after a rousing afternoon and evening. We ate dinner and then opened gifts, then played cards until very late.
Glad you enjoyed Tom, Margy. He is something else.
Nice to read your touching stories, Margy. I will be thinking about you and your family get together to come this weekend.
Lynn, so nice that your family was able to make it.
I will try to catch up on everything else tomorrow--actually later on today. My brain is stopping for the evening.
Nite all! It has been a fun afternoon! Laurel and family did not get here until about 12:45. Let the boys open a few presents, but then we stopped to eat. The protested! Then after eating we went back to opening presents. Spent the rest of the day playing. Everyone has gone to bed. Laurel in her new footie PJ's. lol She is so happy with them! Jacob is asleep in his new camo play tent in the living/dining room.
I am headed that way myself, but wanted to tell you good night. Sweet dreams, hope your day has been wonderful!
Browsing through the blog, trying to wind down so I can sleep.
Hi, Everyone,
Dropping in a bit late to wish you all sweet eagle dreams!
We had a nice evening, although a bit unusual. The neighbors across the street have a slightly retarded middle-aged fellow named Jerry staying at their house; been there for about 6 weeks. He came home after dark from visiting friends, and no one was home, and he has no key to the house. He was concerned because the kitchen lights were on in the house, but no one answered the door. He thought his benefactors might have been injured or something, so he came to our house to see if we had their phone number. We didn't--so Hubby and I called the police business number to see if they would come and investigate the situation. They did, though it took a while. Meanwhile, Jerry called his former landlord on our cell phone, and that guy drove here to pick him up. Seems the landlord called our neighbors on their cell, and they were in the process of taking their grandson back to his home. They were not going to be home for quite a while.
We had Jerry come in and get some coffee (it was pretty damp and chilly out), and we talked until the ex-landlord got to our house to pick Jerry up. Whole thing was a lack of communication problem, and we were glad nothing was amiss with the neighbors, and everything worked out OK. After that, fell asleep in the recliner watching a movie on TV! So here I am to say good night, and set the eye scanner security system. (Done!) The porch light and Christmas lights are on, and the night light is on. Going to bed now--talk to you in the morning light! Sweet dreams. Love you guys! :o]
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Our cam doesn't look very healthy. Maybe we need some sunshine to make it well. Can still see, but has 2 lines dancing around.
Hope everyone sleeps in this morning, except Lib and Belle:)
Good morning, everyone.
So pleased everyone had a wonderful Christmas, including Andy's neighbors and their guest, Jerry. Haven't seen anything from Lynne and Steve -- will assume all went well with their travels. This is a day of recovery, I think.
Off for coffee and newspaper.
Good Morning on the day after!
Lots of rain and melting going on here...nest is almost snow free!
Good morning everyone. Snow about gone after all that rain and sleet yesterday. I need to get outside to clean up the yard between snow, if you know what I mean. No eagles in sight this AM. Limping turkey on PA woods cam.
Good day-after morning, one and all!
Everyone must be sleeping in. I tried, but...feel exhausted! Have to take Cinnamon to vet to get her sutures out and trying to gather the energy to do it----have to put seat down in truck and put carrier in, and I think it's still raining.
No on cam now---still some snow in nest, but no birds!
College kid was lucky enough to be able to work back at his part time job here during the break...so he was off at 6:30 this morning to work, and working tomorrow too. He'll get together with everyone later, as I am headed down to see brothers today.
Oh, and he has a new girlfriend at school! He took her to New York for her birthday, I'll put a picture of them up on my blog. She's coming down to visit tomorrow for a couple of days.
Looks like a very cold afternoon/evening in Finland. MT nest there, too!
If you haven't watched Diego/Cloud video yet, do!! It is so cute and funny. Makes you just want to laugh out loud!!
Good Morning in Eagleland from all the Christmas Celebrations.
Our nest cam looks great Wanda. Might need to refresh or restart like I did.
A pleasure you see Pauala and Judie. Judie hope you leg is feeling better.
Paula I have loved your pictures ty for sharing.
Loretta I took a walk back through your pics and got a nice surprise. I guess since I haven't been on very long for awhile. I missed some great pictures you posted. Thank you.
Margie I tried to post about your tree and the wonderland of miniature Christmas wonderland. I love the tree and small animals and the Angel--I like Angels. Sometimes small is just as beautiful as big is. (So I posted here) His (Ed's) Lady Dana
Morning, Lynn and Diann...waiting for the coffee to kick in here...
Good Morning in Eagleland Grannyblt and Hedgie-Lynn.
Grannyblt I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Lynn did you get company?
Morning, Dana
If interested, here's a link to news story about the bad weather in Europe that Chrissy has mentioned.
European storm
Lynn - I am beat too...all that prep for dinner, cooking, presents, etc.
Had to laugh, went up to go to bed last night, and Boo was on his back, in the middle of the bed, all four feet up in the air! Poor dog was exhausted, too!
Wow, might get some sunshine tomorrow! Sump pump really running here...we have a flood watch in effect with all the rain and melting snow.
Golly, I hadn't heard about that storm in Europe. Ole' Man Winter is wreaking havoc all over the place this year and it is just getting started!
I hear Mom stirring, better get her some breakfast. BBL
Yep, Dana...kids all made it safely!!
Good morning everyone. Its a white very pretty morning here. Light snow and light iwnds and upper 20's. Thats perfect for beauty without the stress of danger for those traveling.
From Magpie last night
Christmas Dinner with next door neighbor lady was a Christmas blessing for both her and me here.
I passed up two invitations to some dear friends' homes due to the weather. I am a bit of a wimp when roads and weather are the way they were
Thats not wimpy, thats wise And my dinner with neighbors was a blessing too. For all of us and Dex who oculd smell that steak :-). Hope everyones day goes well. I can't get to the lock and dam today or i owuld be on my way. That road into the dam area will not be plowed an di could end up in the woods or river. No sun anyway. Come monday and sunshine though and hopefully a little plowing and or snading that way from folks who know the lay of the land and off I will go :-).
West End nest now has night vision :)
Good morning Eagle buds! Steve has given US A NEW THREAD!!
Paula, Cinnie was beat last night, too. So much excitment and activity kept her on her feet for a solid 4 hrs. And all the yummy smells were driving her crazy--and SIL's managed to sneak tidbits under the table to her so they were her best friends for a day!!
BTW---nice pic of son and new galfriend!
She just plain looks like a very nice person! Hope appearances aren't deceiving! Good that he gets some work hours in! Every little bit helps when in school!
Okay---off I go to vet. BBL.
