Hi all! Just came in to say good night. I will be so glad when I get my laptop back on line. This computer is slow compared to the laptop.
I have been exhausted this evening. All the standing in the kitchen wore me out. Yes, Paula, it has smelled good around here. Careful driving when you venture out tomorrow.
I am finishing wrapping tomorrow and get the house ready for Laurel and the boys Tuesday. They are coming in the afternoon and staying until sometime Wed. She has a lot to do so I imagine she will head home in the morning. Then they will be back Christmas morning and stay until Sunday.
I am off to shower and head to bed. Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Okay me too, Good Night now. Sorry I missed Lolly and Jo...watching that Santa do the jig makes it hard to imagine Lolly being tired...or easy to understand, one of the two...
Rest well. Glad about that wedding taking place, Sharon... just heard a train go through, reminded me of Y☺U
WHOA!--Can't believe I am going to be one of the last to say---'good nite & sweet dreams'----VIKINGS LOST!!--How could BRETT FAVRE let me down? ho!---COWBOYS WON YESTERDAY!---I have finally gotten my drive shoveled & upstairs deck cleared!!
Speaking of driveways...our neighbor plowed our driveway, bless his heart! No one plowed out GGs driveway, so we (Gene) plowed it out with my car (4 wheel drive). She was out and about shoveling a path so we would have a place to walk, once we got up to her porch...just in the hospital 4 days ago!:( Don't know what to do with her! Sandman is calling me:)
Well, I'm late again. Sweet dreams of sugar plums to all my feather friends.
I'm always one of the last to say goodnight. My sleeping patterns are way off. Besides I read all the posts before I post. Don't want to miss anything.
Anyone venturing out tomorrow, be very careful. Around here the roads are very icy. Jim must go out early tomorrow for bloodwork and an ultrasound. Fortunately, he has a 4-wheel drive truck, although I still worry about the other crazies out there.
I should be going along for my blood tests, but I can barely get socks on let alone boots! My tests aren't important and can wait a while.
I wanted to ask Paula if her dogs are Irish Setters and wanted to tell Wanda I loved the pics, especially the sunrise and the Captain. And she had a Tiger in her yard.
Well, whoever is here, a restful sleep and blessings for all needs/wants. God bless
Hi, Everyone! Wandering in late here to say goodnight. Sounds like everyone is in a warm roost for the night. Hope those of you who venture forth tomorrow will be extremely careful! Prayers that the roads will be clear, with no ice. Judie, I think you need to sic Lynn on your doctors! Honestly, you really need to be your own doctor nowadays! It's a cryin' shame! Oooh, don't get me started! I'm pretty angry with Hubby's doctor right now for the same reasons, and am really frustrated with the situation! Woof! No, double WOOF! Well, need to get up really early tomorrow, so think I'll say goodnight. Prayers for everyone being said. The night light is on, the porch light is automatic, and the eye scanner's ready to go. Sleep tight, everybody, and I'll talk to you in the morning. Sweet dreams! Love all you guys! :o]
Here it is almost 2 AM and i cant sleep so im watching National Geographic on TV... Did anyone else have a chance to see the Movie called Angels & Demons with Tom Hanks?? Good movie kept you on edge of seat whole movie but the kind you need to watch more than once because if you miss a minute of it you lost the whole gist of the movie.. Well i think were in for a rainy Christmas Day but hope it gets cold enough to snow!!
Hi there Sissy...☺ Yep, cold and messy here in Berkeley County... I am watching those rainbowy squiggly lines on our cam, and wondering if things will change as daylight occurs.
There are some great photos on several of the blogs with snow photos from over the week-end... Paula, Lynn, Wanda, Shirley, Lynne2, and pardon my manners if the brain is not all awake yet with some of the others. AND, some cool nest visit photos from yesterday on the Momsters album ☺
And how about all the neat avatars for the holidays?
One of Andrew's best friends got married yesterday. Andrew was a groomsman (very handsome one, I might add). So, we went to the wedding. We have our car in a little neighborhood store's parking lot until they clear our hill. I fear it may be a little while before that happens though. Lots of side streets are not treated yet. But, today is garbage day, so maybe they will get it cleared sometime.
How about that Nilla ! I saw the name and posts often when I was just a looker, now it is great to see her and I hope she stays! okay, here I go for awhile
MORNING 'SNOWY' EAGLE BUDDIES!! SISSY & MARGY!---I am warm---just took my sweats out of the dryer!!--Most of the yesterday was spent with folks getting my SNOW cleared so I HOPEFULLY can get my newspaper & mail!----SISSY tell us all about the wedding!! Bet it was beautiful!!
Lord, I just looked outside. We probably got another inch of snow over night and it is snowing now!!!
Good morning Norma. The wedding was beautiful. Not alot of people there, of course, but beautiful nonetheless. The groom and their newborn baby were baptized after the wedding ceremony. It was nice. The wedding was supposed to have been Saturday but no one could get to the church, so they postponed it until yesterday.
OH SISSY!--I am glad you were there---I bet BLUEFIELD SHARON was the proudest MOM there!!---ho!--Thank goodness--I don't see any SNOW here!!!!!!!!--can't afford another PLOW OUT!
We haven't seen much of Andrew since he got here. He has been hanging out with his friends most of the time. He and Kelsey stayed here last night, but didn't get here until late. So, she is still needing more time!! We all are but he is such a busy kid. Family is not exactly on the top of his list right now (as bad as we hate that!!).
Good Chilly Morning Everyone! Nest does not look very inviting. Did not get to say goodnight--fell asleep in lounge chair & didn't eat dinner either! Gov't. & most everything else is closed here. The newspaper keeps coming tho! Weather man is predicting rain here for Xmas---BOO! I wanted to go to a great restaurant on Kent Island, but that won't be real festive! More coffee~~~
Yes, it's those telltale rainbowy lines at the top :( Just sent email to Steve, pointed out though that the cam held up great through the storm and some awesome Eagle visits !
Good Morning Loretta....loved your pictures by the way !
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph did not even run a print edition of today's paper. It is available online but they didn't print a paper. I don't remember that ever happening before.
I haven't seen a newspaper since Fri----I take 2 a day---one by mail - one delivered---Haven't received either!---Go nuts without a newspaper!---But maybe today!--LIFE IS GOOD this am!---talking with you folks!!--WILL TRY TO TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!
Good morning everyone. Took a peak at cam and then headed on over here. Hope everyone is in for a warm safe day. I am sure you have stocke dup on cmfort food. have some more its OK :-). We had a couple inches of light snow yesterday . Very pretty and whitened up all our stuff from a week ago. Things look very nice and rods after you get off the side streets here won't be bad at all. My community seems to have decided to hope for the best with the side streets in many areas so we have ruts of ice everywhere fromt he last storm. Means new snow hides that and makes it tricky to get out of neighborhood. Then smooth going. You will have smooth going again soon.
MORNIN' GLO!---I thought I was dug out--but now I understand we may get more SNOW!---I haven't been off the hill--so don't know how well our streets have been cleared!---
Today Partly sunny. A slight chance of flurries this afternoon. Highs in the mid 30s. West winds 5 to 10 mph. » ZIP Code Detail Tonight Mostly cloudy in the evening...then becoming partly cloudy. Lows around 18. West winds 5 to 10 mph. amen;)
zoo closed again today, and zoo lights cancelled also:(, I'm supposed to work Wednesday and do the panda cam and work zoo lights, but MTBR on that one.
Good morning all! Loretta, what restaurant on KI did you want to go to?
UGH, looks like our Christmas morning drive to Terra Alta is going to be ruined by more bad weather. Steve is pretty bummed because he has off the day after for the first time in years and wanted to go up and spend Christmas with his mom. :(
We have a big flock of cowbirds this morning raiding the feeders and 2 mornings ago it was grackles. Haven't seen either til now this year. Those grackles have NO manners!
Good Morning Shirley! I would love to feed the neighborhood birds here, but have a squirrel that I DO NOT WANT TO ATTRACT! A couple of years ago one took up residence in floor space between mine and upstairs apartment, was VERY UNPLEASANT AND DESTRUCTIVE!
I called the PT place because I have an appointment this afternoon, but nobody answered. Not really surprised. Left a message.
I did buy a turkey the other day and have most of the stuff to make dressing, but I still need to do shopping. Susan is my personal shopper, but I would like to pick up something for her.
OH, check out the Happy Holidays link at BWE too !
And the Osprey Cam Gallery at BWO, is a must see.... others mentioned that yesterday....see some of our names on those pictures! Really worth a trip through all the pic pages!
Norma - Read the paper and then use it for Christmas wrapping paper ☺
GOOD MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!----Did you enjoy the wedding?------Sounds as if it was just beautiful!!---I bet I can guess the most handsome male at the wedding!---ho!---Just a guess!
It did turn out okay. I got to spend a little time with Andrew last night after they got here. Not sure when they are going to attempt to head to Charleston. As it stands now, he can't get his car off the hill yet. I am not complaining, I will take every second I can get with him!
Good morning all! Lots of AM posts to catch up on. Norma, glad you got your papers. Had to laugh----I got the inserts for Sun. Mtsbg. paper yesterday but not the body. I called this AM when it still wasn't here, and asked if they had published. Yes....so who delivers only part of a paper? Duh. She said she would make sure it comes tomorrow. Obviously, advertising is most important!
Kathryn used to deliver the newspaper. The Sunday paper came in two sections and the carrier had to put them together. Looks like your carrier didn't put them together.
Did anyone see the news about the new military pregnancy "laws'? If a soldier stationed in Iraq becomes pregnant, or male impregnates, they will be prosecuted/court-martialed because removal from duty creates personnel logistic problems. This will apply even to married couples. It also will apply to civilian contractors. Wow....see all kinds of legal counter-action to this!!
Dear Ceil, when does Jim get in? Hope you have a perfectly wonderful holiday. And yep, we are glad you all aren't the travelers this year! What a trip you had last Christmas!! Eagle greetings to Jim and his lady!
Shirley, ex and I did Sunday Washington Post for 15 yrs. back in the late 70's, 80's, early 90's. We paid people to put the paper together at the drop-off location. We had the entire county residential and commercial route. Big job....but VERY good money. Small local paper is a big joke in comparison! With a full-size pick-up truck, he had to go back to barn and refill halfway through route.
That is balmy:) Doesn't feel too bad out here, winds are calm. Hoping the sun is gonna shine for a while, supposed to be partly cloudy. Got a lot more shoveling to do before we could ever get out of here. Luckily for me I don't need to go anywhere.
I don't need to go anywhere either, we went out yesterday, hubby only got his side of the driveway and walkway done.....once we got out of the neighborhood, beltway and I95 were fine, he had no problem going to work this a.m., but said in the District only one lane of Mass. Avenue was cleared.
I'm gonna walk to the mailbox later so we can see what the lane looks like. They should have the county road into town clear by today, heard they were still a mess yesterday morning. We can't see the main road from the house.
MORNIN' MEGAN!--We are up to 31°--& I swear I think the SUN is coming out!!---I know you are aware---but must post: Today is the shortest day of the year--WINTER SOLSTICE 2009---arrived at 9:47 am today according to US Naval Observatory data.
Glad to hear that you don't need to go anywhere, Mits and Megan! Would think the zoo will be good to go for Weds., M<its----maybe sun will do the work for you by then!
Kathryn did the Free Lance-Star before they became a morning paper. Washington Post would be much bigger. Kathryn liked to have someone go with her to throw the paper while she drove. I went a few times. Worried about her getting hit from behind because of all the stops on busy roads.
Well Zoo, maybe open by then Lynn, but no snowplows here yet, and hubby only had enough time and energy to do one side of the driveway, and the walkway, my car is still in garage, and will stay there till things clear out..:)
Amen to the solstice for sure! Every extra minute of daylight is great! I may be a nightowl at heart, but hate the long evenings and don't like driving in the dark anymore at all.
Good Morning All - we have a full house here this morning. BTW my Sunday paper was delivered and met it fate with the snow blower! Very bright out today and cold - I am going to lunch with prior coworkers. Took a while to read all your morning posts.... Loretta are you wishing to go to the Fisherman's Inn? Your thinking crab legs again! I need to get ready and I will touch base upon my return... Don't think I will miss seeing any eagles' visits :<( :<(
Ceil -- enjoy the holidays and check in if/when you can.
Margy, so sorry you have to work Christmas eve but hope you will be able to enjoy Christmas day.
THANK YOU, JOHN! Cross-country skies? Eagle prayer for solar rays.
Poor kid next door story. Offered to clear snow from driveway and walk. He's home from college and wants spending money. Humor is that he is very slight in build and it has taken him two days and he's still not finished. However, he offered -- we did not ask.
Yes, going to take Lynn with me to Walter Reed. Problem is they have their "protocols" and individuals are not included. Just follow orders. THEY CAN'T HEAR ME!!!
Going back to reading for school. I'm already thinking bacon pasta tonight.
Anyone venturing out -- please be careful and use extra caution!
Perhaps you need to take a delegation of Momsters, Dadsters (or Popsters) with eagle canes to Walter Reed.
I guess they have some kind of military mindset at WR. They think you are supposed to obey orders without question. I don't function well under those circumstances, either.
I once had a doctor who clearly disliked me. I asked him why, and he told me that I asked too many questions. He delivered my twins; had not been my first choice, but was a partner to a doctor I liked.
Hey everyone! I haven't read back on the blog...is there something wrong with the still feed? The date and time is correct, but it looks like a night time picture.
Any update on the live feed?
I am thinking of each of you, hoping you all have a great end of year, whatever you do for it -- or don't do!
Yes, BG, the still cam isn't working. John has promised to go clean off the solar panel. We are saying kind words to John and hoping for the best.
Still no plow here. Will says the news says it may be 2 more days. He's guessing it is because they laid off so many DOT workers. He's considering shoveling the street. I see one neighbor who seems to be doing just that. Will is supposed to work tomorrow.
My daughter has a doctor who is usually outdone with her...he says he is willing to help her, but she is not willing to spend the money that it costs. (frequent blood tests and very expensive meds) Maybe the new Health Care Bill will help her...I know it WON'T HELP ME!
Bird Girl Hi ! Still cam held up great through the worst of the week-end, seems to have gone on the fritz very early this morning, around 3 am or so.
NCTC is closed today, due to the weathher, John is one of the gurus there who is going to try to clean the snow off the solar panels, so maybe later, we might have a view. Steve must have given him the alert.
No recent updates on the live feed.
Good to see you! Thanks for the greetings xoxo
Someone probably already answered this for you. I type slowly
They made some great appearances in the nest Sunday, Delphia. We did not see them at all on Saturday. Can you access the Momsters Photo albums off the home page? We have over 200 photos on the December album, which is on the first page of albums if you go to photos.
The weather here in Phoenix metropolis is not too shabby recently. Sunny days, 60s and 70s for the highs, 50s and 40s for the lows. Our "bad weather" is in the summer, but at least we don't have to shovel the heat!!! :)
by the way, Bird Girl, those rainbowy lines at the top of our Still Cam, is always a sign that the cam is not running right, even though the clock is running at the correct time for us
Shirley,You might try to go to your counties web site to see the progress being made in your area.....I just went to mine, and put in my address.....said they are working in the area, then pulled up a full map of the parts of the county that have been done, and what they are working on.
Getting the small chores accomplished...one at a time! Beginning to get the feeling that I may be doing all of this for naught. If the weather prediction doesn't improve, I will probably be all alone on Christmas as kids won't be able to get here. Depression is starting to set in.
Gonna check the county website. It does almost look like maybe something passed down our street, but it is still very snow covered. Will took off. I asked him where he was going and he said, "Out." Then he added that he might do some Christmas shopping.
Unfortunately, I've had a LOT of experience with dealing with doctors in various fields. You have to be a "bad patient" it seems, to get them to listen to you and not treat you like a moron.
LOL Wanda.... If do anything whacky, Lynn will hear it on the scanner and spill the beans!
I'll wear my camo bibs and no one will be able to See Me.
Okay it's time now.
Lynn, Shirley, and others, if we are "alone" on Christmas Day, we will be loading up the posts on the Blog! We can't be alone HERE ! ☺ ♥ But my prayer, is for that NOT to happen and for you all to be with your loved ones, me too.... TTFN xo
Will just called. He made it to the Giant. Said it is awful out there. Don't think he's going any further.
He commented that he and I might be eating Christmas dinner alone. I think Tom and Kathryn would be able to make it. Others are coming from the DC area by way of I-95. That might be okay, but would not want them to take any risks.
Well, you know what they say...it is what it is..I heard that somewhere:) grin and bear it is my latest philosophy, so on that note I am off to shovel more snow so maybe we can get out of here tomorrow- for school and possibly work for hubby. Walk to mailbox was pretty, main road into town still snow covered in spots, plows are working on it. development road is awful. Oh and while I'm thinking of it, I had a Christmas card in the mailbox, and I wanted to say for health reasons, that if you are holding your breath waiting for the Christmas card I sent you to arrive, please exhale...cause I never mailed any....
I have not mailed all of my cards, either. I do not know when I will have mail delivery or pick-up. I do wish everyone a Merry Christmas, whether you get a card or not.
Ordered gifts for my two brothers online; they promised delivery tomorrow. We will see. One in Colorado, maybe. One in N.C., I wonder? Paid a premium price for next-day delivery.
Megan, we don't need cards in return!!! Just seeing your lovely creations warms our hearts!! Just wish we could see your lovely face more often. I know, I know. I deal with "it is what it is" in mamny facets of life. But Christmas is my most very special time....I've never been alone for it in all of my 60 years...and this might well be my last Christmas....don't think I can handle it. We aren't supposed to pray for THINGS, but I am praying ever so hard that we have no more snow, ice, sleet, etc.

Think I am going to head to bed myself. Good night! See you tomorrow.
Okay me too, Good Night now.

To all my good friend. Sleep restful and comforting sleep.
God Bless
Good morning everyone!! Hope everyone is safe and snug this morning. It is still pretty nasty out there, roads still a mess around here.
Hi there Sissy...☺
Yep, cold and messy here in Berkeley County...
I am watching those rainbowy squiggly lines on our cam, and wondering if things will change as daylight occurs.
How is everyone down your way
xo
Good morning magpie! Yeah, those squiggly rainbow lines are not usually a good sign, are they?
nope :(
Sure is good to see that fancy festive Eagle next to your name - been missing that !
Is "George" decorated for the holidays?
He has a Santa hat on but the wind keeps blowing it off. Don't wanna put any staples in him or anything to hold it on though.
There are some great photos on several of the blogs with snow photos from over the week-end...
Paula, Lynn, Wanda, Shirley, Lynne2, and pardon my manners if the brain is not all awake yet with some of the others. AND, some cool nest visit photos from yesterday on the Momsters album ☺
And how about all the neat avatars for the holidays?
xo
HE'S OUTSIDE ???
Winter occurs at 12:47 pm today.
I think, it has already occurred.
Yeah, he is on the front porch. No room in here until the Christmas tree is down again. Had to move him to the porch.
I got a tableful of Christmas cards, stickers and labels to approach this morning
Going to disappear to start on those for awhile.
Hope your day is a good one, Sissy,
and also Best Wishes to Everyone Else on that !
Whoo boy, Sissy....better chain and stake him....it would be a tragedy if he disappeared !

Hey there Norma Byrd! ☺ ♥
While I'm thinking of it, we have some ISS flyovers this week, December 23 and the next few days after that! In the mornings.
Here is the site:
ISS Flyovers
Punch in your zip code and see where it will be for your areas!
What a blessing things could be re-scheduled just one day late.
Has Sharon let go of Andrew yet?
She was ready and rarin' for
a son-hug
OH SISSY!--I am glad you were there---I bet BLUEFIELD SHARON was the proudest MOM there!!---ho!--Thank goodness--I don't see any SNOW here!!!!!!!!--can't afford another PLOW OUT!

SISSY---Give him time--he has been out & seeing a different world--but he will come back later!---FUN TIME NOW!
Well I think it is daylight, better get that email sent to Steve

Great that it stayed up over the week-end through the storm though!
MARGY--NPR is back!---& SISSY--we are to expect some more snow today!!---CURSES!!
Good Chilly Morning Everyone!
Nest does not look very inviting. Did not get to say goodnight--fell asleep in lounge chair & didn't eat dinner either!
Gov't. & most everything else is closed here. The newspaper keeps coming tho!
Weather man is predicting rain here for Xmas---BOO! I wanted to go to a great restaurant on Kent Island, but that won't be real festive!
More coffee~~~
You're right Margy. It's got a black background!!! Wrong!
Yes, it's those telltale rainbowy lines at the top

Oh Norma, Thanks for the Turkey Call !
I was late saying there was an Eagle at BWE -
but now it is back !
Good morning all. Going to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Will not be on the blog for a while
have a good time Ceil:)
I see one turkey with a thin little beard.
Love the sound when they chortle or putt or whatever it is called
zoo closed again today, and zoo lights cancelled also:(, I'm supposed to work Wednesday and do the panda cam and work zoo lights, but MTBR on that one.
Good morning all!
Loretta, what restaurant on KI did you want to go to?
UGH, looks like our Christmas morning drive to Terra Alta is going to be ruined by more bad weather. Steve is pretty bummed because he has off the day after for the first time in years and wanted to go up and spend Christmas with his mom. :(
We have a big flock of cowbirds this morning raiding the feeders and 2 mornings ago it was grackles. Haven't seen either til now this year. Those grackles have NO manners!
Merry Christmas Ceil!
Hi Bye Ceil
Lynne - I hope, the bad weather forecast just disappears!
Think you probably noticed, we have ISS this week ! Christmas flyovers ☺
Ceil -
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you too! This year you are not Amtracking it to Oregon...
hope your Holiday Plans are great
Good morning, everyone.
Lynne, you should go out and scold those rude grackles. They are an unruly bunch.
My street is still not plowed.
Grackles did not fly South?
Ours here are all gone, but plenty of starlings!
Keep your ears tuned for Tundra Swans ♪ ♫ flying towards the Chesapeake and points South,Lynne, they are headed this way from NY and points North
Two at BWE now
Good Morning Shirley!
I would love to feed the neighborhood birds here, but have a squirrel that I DO NOT WANT TO ATTRACT! A couple of years ago one took up residence in floor space between mine and upstairs apartment, was VERY UNPLEASANT AND DESTRUCTIVE!
His favorite scratching spot was right above the bath tub! He nearly made entry that way too :(
MORNIN' MITS!--- CEIL!---Wishing you and your a HAPPY CHRISTMAS!! ENJOY!!
from BWE....
12/20/09:
Another photo of our eagles after the storm. Looking good.
For those who are wondering, last year our first egg was laid on January 23.
Happy Holidays
Anyone just jumping on
OUR STILL CAM IS DOWN, HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO STEVE ABOUT IT
MORNIN' LYNN2---Oh when I was in school---we would travel through TERRA ALTA!---They have SNOW about 365 days a year!! ho!
Good grief, 14 degrees here! A little snow cloud over West Virginia, but it's warmer there than here.
Thanks for telling Steve about the still cam, Margy.
both at BWE now
CLICK---'HAPPY HOLIDAYS' on the BWO sight!---AWESOME!
(NPR)--89,000 FOLKS are without electric in WV!---CLOUDY TODAY & NIGHT --- with chance of SNOW in EASTERN MTS!!!
ducks, swans and eagle on USeeWildlife.com
Getting restless here.
I called the PT place because I have an appointment this afternoon, but nobody answered. Not really surprised. Left a message.
I did buy a turkey the other day and have most of the stuff to make dressing, but I still need to do shopping. Susan is my personal shopper, but I would like to pick up something for her.
Norma, on the weather map, it looked like WV has its own personal snow cloud.
Thanks Norma for that Happy Holidays note for BWO -
IT'S GREAT !
now I am going to check their photos, then back to bills and Christmas cards ☺
WHOA!---what is a woman to do?---Have lots of Christmas things I must do----and the PAPER came---(3 of them)----????
OH, check out the Happy Holidays link at BWE too !
And the Osprey Cam Gallery at BWO, is a must see.... others mentioned that yesterday....see some of our names on those pictures! Really worth a trip through all the pic pages!
Norma - Read the paper and then use it for Christmas wrapping paper ☺
new green pine sprigs in the nest at BWE
bald and golden eagles are showing on USeeWildlife.com
UPDATE FROM STEVE REF STILL CAM
Sorry, NCTC is closed today.....
so a fix will be likely, sometime Tuesday
Thanks to Steve for a speedy reply !
Good morning my eagle budlets. I hope all is well with your worlds!
Hello there Sweet Bud Yourself!
Sounds like the week-end turned out okay, more or less....
GOOD MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!----Did you enjoy the wedding?------Sounds as if it was just beautiful!!---I bet I can guess the most handsome male at the wedding!---ho!---Just a guess!
It did turn out okay. I got to spend a little time with Andrew last night after they got here. Not sure when they are going to attempt to head to Charleston. As it stands now, he can't get his car off the hill yet. I am not complaining, I will take every second I can get with him!
Good morning all!
Lots of AM posts to catch up on. Norma, glad you got your papers. Had to laugh----I got the inserts for Sun. Mtsbg. paper yesterday but not the body. I called this AM when it still wasn't here, and asked if they had published. Yes....so who delivers only part of a paper? Duh. She said she would make sure it comes tomorrow. Obviously, advertising is most important!
Hi Lynn,
Kathryn used to deliver the newspaper. The Sunday paper came in two sections and the carrier had to put them together. Looks like your carrier didn't put them together.
Did anyone see the news about the new military pregnancy "laws'? If a soldier stationed in Iraq becomes pregnant, or male impregnates, they will be prosecuted/court-martialed because removal from duty creates personnel logistic problems. This will apply even to married couples. It also will apply to civilian contractors.
Wow....see all kinds of legal counter-action to this!!
That could get very complicated, Lynn. Maybe create more logistic problems than just getting the pregnant woman out of Iraq.
Dear Ceil, when does Jim get in? Hope you have a perfectly wonderful holiday. And yep, we are glad you all aren't the travelers this year! What a trip you had last Christmas!! Eagle greetings to Jim and his lady!
Knew as soon as I pulled up our cam that we would be out of luck for today!
BWE/O site full of goodies, but have only seen one raven, I guess it was, this AM. Finland was full of undisturbed snow.
Lolly, I am worrying about you and more falling. Thank the Lord that you haven't sustained injury the last two times. Please slow down and be careful!
Yea! Trash truck just came through!
Morning everybody:)
28° here and the sun is trying to break out.
Warmed up to 21 degrees here.
MORNIN' HEDGIE!---My morning paper is from CUMBERLAND, MD---not much WV news or any news!--But does have the obits!---ho!
we are a nice balmy 37° here:)
Shirley, ex and I did Sunday Washington Post for 15 yrs. back in the late 70's, 80's, early 90's. We paid people to put the paper together at the drop-off location. We had the entire county residential and commercial route. Big job....but VERY good money. Small local paper is a big joke in comparison! With a full-size pick-up truck, he had to go back to barn and refill halfway through route.
That is balmy:) Doesn't feel too bad out here, winds are calm. Hoping the sun is gonna shine for a while, supposed to be partly cloudy. Got a lot more shoveling to do before we could ever get out of here. Luckily for me I don't need to go anywhere.
I don't need to go anywhere either, we went out yesterday, hubby only got his side of the driveway and walkway done.....once we got out of the neighborhood, beltway and I95 were fine, he had no problem going to work this a.m., but said in the District only one lane of Mass. Avenue was cleared.
I'm gonna walk to the mailbox later so we can see what the lane looks like. They should have the county road into town clear by today, heard they were still a mess yesterday morning. We can't see the main road from the house.
MORNIN' MEGAN!--We are up to 31°--& I swear I think the SUN is coming out!!---I know you are aware---but must post: Today is the shortest day of the year--WINTER SOLSTICE 2009---arrived at 9:47 am today according to US Naval Observatory data.
That's right, Norma, and then the days will start getting longer:)
Morning, all!
What a pretty winter day! Happy Winter Solstice!!
I am presently full of Bob Evans waffles and sausage!
I see our cam didn't like last nights temps!
Glad to hear that you don't need to go anywhere, Mits and Megan!
Would think the zoo will be good to go for Weds., M<its----maybe sun will do the work for you by then!
I'm going to go out to the nest and clean the snow off the solar panel, hopefully the batteries will recharge today.
Chatty group! Over 110 posts since last night!
Well THANK YOU John! Hope you have tall snow boots!
Kathryn did the Free Lance-Star before they became a morning paper. Washington Post would be much bigger. Kathryn liked to have someone go with her to throw the paper while she drove. I went a few times. Worried about her getting hit from behind because of all the stops on busy roads.
Thank you, John!
thanks, John
Good Snowy Eagle Day Momsters and Dadsters.
Thank you John hip boots required.
Well Zoo, maybe open by then Lynn, but no snowplows here yet, and hubby only had enough time and energy to do one side of the driveway, and the walkway, my car is still in garage, and will stay there till things clear out..:)
Was sunny here, now cloudy.
flamingos are out and about at NZ
I understand that roads in Romney are a mess---so no plans to leave home---Will repeat--SUN IS SHINING in ROMNEY!-----
SHIRLEY--In WV we usually have different weather in different parts of our state!
yes, Megan, that is the part I like, days will start getting longer:)
Amen to the solstice for sure! Every extra minute of daylight is great! I may be a nightowl at heart, but hate the long evenings and don't like driving in the dark anymore at all.
Diann - my dogs are golden retreivers!
Steve, thanks for the update...I shut off our cam.
Sharon - sounds like a nice time at the wedding. Congrats to the newlyweds.
Ceil - I take it that means Jim should be able to make it OK. Hope you can check in sometime.
And Bless you John at NCTC, what a sweetheart!
Don't know what kind of feed they have at pixPA---but there is still a herd of TURNKEYS feeding!
Looks like a little snow falling in Pa.
MORNIN' PAULA!---I was wondering who JOHN was---now I know!!---Be sure to check the 'TURNKEYS'! at PA-pix!---I need more coffee!!
Looks calm in Maine this morning
MORNIN' DANA!---I want to check your muscles!!---I read that you shoveled your walk!!---WOW!--that's wonderful---I hope you aren't sore this morning!!
PT called. I canceled for today. If I manage to get out, I have other things I need to do.
Well my understanding is my appointment should still be on for today. Main 1-800 Office said they know of no closings.
So off I go to get ready for the "white outdoors".
Prayers for those that need them and prayers for everyones safety.
Good Morning All - we have a full house here this morning. BTW my Sunday paper was delivered and met it fate with the snow blower!
Very bright out today and cold - I am going to lunch with prior coworkers.
Took a while to read all your morning posts.... Loretta are you wishing to go to the Fisherman's Inn? Your thinking crab legs again!
I need to get ready and I will touch base upon my return... Don't think I will miss seeing any eagles' visits
:<( :<(
Moosecam is on :)
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Ok...1-2-3, everyone pray NOW that John's efforts work!:)
We love you John and thanks to STEVE for alerting JOHN:)
May the sun shine upon you John and our solar panels too! Thanks so much!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks, John! Don't think even snow shoes will help you plow through to the panel!!! Good luck!
Maybe cross-country skis for a trip to the nest.
Then we need the sun to shine on the solar panels.
Heard some beeps. Hope it is the plow, but could be trash truck, though not mine. It is due tomorrow.
Snowshoes would be good! Wish I still had mine. Sun is shining brightly now!
sun and 42° here...yippe!
you can see feetsies at BWO cam....boy they really did a number on that...
osprey at Dunedin nest...that have really built that nest up, tons of stuff in it.
MORNIN' MISS WANDA!---Bet you are all ready for the BIG DAY!!---Best wishes for GG!--pray she is feeling better!-
MEGAN---I noticed on TV yesterday that folks in DC were on skis & MOVIN' RIGHT ALONG!!
THANKS JOHN!---Wishing you a very MERRY -- MERRY CHRISTMAS!---We are so glad 'we married you'! ho!
Eagle feetsies at BWO
Not sure how they got to the BWO cam...perch is over top of it.
Just threw out some peanuts for the squirrels....they SANK into the snow.
Think I'll try some bread for the birds!
Good morning, everyone.
Ceil -- enjoy the holidays and check in if/when you can.
Margy, so sorry you have to work Christmas eve but hope you will be able to enjoy Christmas day.
THANK YOU, JOHN! Cross-country skies? Eagle prayer for solar rays.
Poor kid next door story. Offered to clear snow from driveway and walk. He's home from college and wants spending money. Humor is that he is very slight in build and it has taken him two days and he's still not finished. However, he offered -- we did not ask.
Yes, going to take Lynn with me to Walter Reed. Problem is they have their "protocols" and individuals are not included. Just follow orders. THEY CAN'T HEAR ME!!!
Going back to reading for school. I'm already thinking bacon pasta tonight.
Anyone venturing out -- please be careful and use extra caution!
Oh dear, someone please explain how I (we) are married to John! Quick, before Darth decides to read the blog.
I think Norma has to explain that one, Judie.
Perhaps you need to take a delegation of Momsters, Dadsters (or Popsters) with eagle canes to Walter Reed.
I guess they have some kind of military mindset at WR. They think you are supposed to obey orders without question. I don't function well under those circumstances, either.
I once had a doctor who clearly disliked me. I asked him why, and he told me that I asked too many questions. He delivered my twins; had not been my first choice, but was a partner to a doctor I liked.
Birdies trying to get in my window.
Thought I heard a food toss at Pix Pa. No critters in sight, but I hear something.
Talking to myself here. BBL.
There was a whole bunch of turkeys at Pix PA, they scattered when the feeder went off. Going to see if I can hike to the mailbox. bbl
Hey everyone! I haven't read back on the blog...is there something wrong with the still feed? The date and time is correct, but it looks like a night time picture.
Any update on the live feed?
I am thinking of each of you, hoping you all have a great end of year, whatever you do for it -- or don't do!
Judie, you must hide comments from DARTH, occasionally...we LOVE a handful of guys on here. Sooo what happens on the blog STAYS ON THE BLOG!!;)
Yes, BG, the still cam isn't working. John has promised to go clean off the solar panel. We are saying kind words to John and hoping for the best.
Still no plow here. Will says the news says it may be 2 more days. He's guessing it is because they laid off so many DOT workers. He's considering shoveling the street. I see one neighbor who seems to be doing just that. Will is supposed to work tomorrow.
My daughter has a doctor who is usually outdone with her...he says he is willing to help her, but she is not willing to spend the money that it costs. (frequent blood tests and very expensive meds)
Maybe the new Health Care Bill will help her...I know it WON'T HELP ME!
Bird Girl
Hi !
Still cam held up great through the worst of the week-end, seems to have gone on the fritz very early this morning, around 3 am or so.
NCTC is closed today, due to the weathher, John is one of the gurus there who is going to try to clean the snow off the solar panels, so maybe later, we might have a view. Steve must have given him the alert.
No recent updates on the live feed.
Good to see you! Thanks for the greetings xoxo
Someone probably already answered this for you. I type slowly
Margy, you gave many more details than I did.
I hope that it will help her, Wanda, and my son Will, too. But I am afraid it will not help right away.
Thanks! I wonder what our eagles are thinking about the mass amount of snow?
They made some great appearances in the nest Sunday, Delphia. We did not see them at all on Saturday.
Can you access the Momsters Photo albums off the home page? We have over 200 photos on the December album, which is on the first page of albums if you go to photos.
So, anything going on weather wise out your way?
Paula, sounds like your Bob Evans Breakfast Bash went well. Yay !
The weather here in Phoenix metropolis is not too shabby recently. Sunny days, 60s and 70s for the highs, 50s and 40s for the lows. Our "bad weather" is in the summer, but at least we don't have to shovel the heat!!! :)
I guess I got enough Christmas cards and bills done to justify going out to the post office, means I have to change out of my pajamas finally
Good Point, Bird Girl. That sounds mighty nice this time of the year !
Well, Happy Winter anyway ☺
by the way, Bird Girl, those rainbowy lines at the top of our Still Cam, is always a sign that the cam is not running right, even though the clock is running at the correct time for us
Time to get ready to get ready.
Best wishes for a good day for everyone, that your plans go as needed.
xo TTFN ☺
well my biggest clue was that it's the middle of the day, but the picture is from during the night LOL
MARGY, you CAN wear your PJs to WAL MART! lol
Not to Post Office, they might think you are GOING POSTAL;)
Feeling better, Delphia?
Shirley,You might try to go to your counties web site to see the progress being made in your area.....I just went to mine, and put in my address.....said they are working in the area, then pulled up a full map of the parts of the county that have been done, and what they are working on.
I suggested a long time ago for someone to show me how to clean those solar panels off. I am only 10 minutes away:)
CostumeLady, yes I'm feeling better from my surgery, just dealing with I guess a sinus thing now. And an unwell old dog. LOL
Oooooh! Clandestine blog love. Um, hi John!
Phoenix sounds lovely, Bird Girl!
Yep, Shirley, I ask too many questions and know just enough to make the less experienced docs uncomfortable.
Jealous, Paula. I could enjoy a Bob Evans breakfast about now but ... off to maybe bake some cookies, instead.
Mits, that's a very cool, accommodating thing to have!! I'll bet dollars to donuts we'll never have that coutesy here. :(
I left that doctor behind years ago, Judie, thank goodness. The twins are now almost 30 years old.
It is not comfortable when the doctor resents your questions. It's your life at stake, not the doctor's.
Getting the small chores accomplished...one at a time! Beginning to get the feeling that I may be doing all of this for naught. If the weather prediction doesn't improve, I will probably be all alone on Christmas as kids won't be able to get here. Depression is starting to set in.
Gonna check the county website. It does almost look like maybe something passed down our street, but it is still very snow covered. Will took off. I asked him where he was going and he said, "Out." Then he added that he might do some Christmas shopping.
Oh, Lynn, I hope they will be able to get there. And, I hope mine will be able to get here.
Unfortunately, I've had a LOT of experience with dealing with doctors in various fields. You have to be a "bad patient" it seems, to get them to listen to you and not treat you like a moron.

GooD morning, EveryBody !!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Two eagles at BWE.
Bad apparatus at BWO and Sheptown???????
Fairly cool and cloudy in So Cal, and it looks like we might have a little rain tonight and tomorrow.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
LOL Wanda....
If do anything whacky, Lynn will hear it on the scanner and spill the beans!
I'll wear my camo bibs and no one will be able to See Me.
Okay it's time now.
Lynn, Shirley, and others, if we are "alone" on Christmas Day, we will be loading up the posts on the Blog! We can't be alone HERE ! ☺ ♥
But my prayer, is for that NOT to happen and for you all to be with your loved ones, me too....
TTFN xo
Eagle at BWO
I meant BWE
Will just called. He made it to the Giant. Said it is awful out there. Don't think he's going any further.
He commented that he and I might be eating Christmas dinner alone. I think Tom and Kathryn would be able to make it. Others are coming from the DC area by way of I-95. That might be okay, but would not want them to take any risks.
Well, you know what they say...it is what it is..I heard that somewhere:) grin and bear it is my latest philosophy, so on that note I am off to shovel more snow so maybe we can get out of here tomorrow- for school and possibly work for hubby.
Walk to mailbox was pretty, main road into town still snow covered in spots, plows are working on it. development road is awful.
Oh and while I'm thinking of it, I had a Christmas card in the mailbox, and I wanted to say for health reasons, that if you are holding your breath waiting for the Christmas card I sent you to arrive, please exhale...cause I never mailed any....
Just figured out the difference between BWE and BWO a couple of days ago.
I have not mailed all of my cards, either. I do not know when I will have mail delivery or pick-up. I do wish everyone a Merry Christmas, whether you get a card or not.
that is right Megan, it is what it is.....would love to have control, but that will not happen:)
Ordered gifts for my two brothers online; they promised delivery tomorrow. We will see. One in Colorado, maybe. One in N.C., I wonder? Paid a premium price for next-day delivery.
ok guys time to do some chores (blech)
be safe, be warm!
Megan, we don't need cards in return!!! Just seeing your lovely creations warms our hearts!! Just wish we could see your lovely face more often.
I know, I know. I deal with "it is what it is" in mamny facets of life. But Christmas is my most very special time....I've never been alone for it in all of my 60 years...and this might well be my last Christmas....don't think I can handle it. We aren't supposed to pray for THINGS, but I am praying ever so hard that we have no more snow, ice, sleet, etc.
Somebody put a sign at Snowman.
Lynn, do stay in touch with us. We cannot relpace your special ones, but we will reach out and touch you in every way we can.
