tHANKS for the new thread, Steve.

Jim
Thanks, Steve, have a great day? Do you have any snow left? I was surprised to see how much of ours washed away in the rain!
Thanks for the call over Jim. How is Sunny Cal today?
Hi, Jim! How was your Christmas?
Paula, I have my grandma's china---cherish it dearly. Nice of you to pass yours along to DIL.
Starting to cloud over here. Weather forecast sounding lousy for the week and especially weekend.......hope it changes by then!
Good afternoon everybody!
Jim !
You're the Man! Thanks for the Call over!
And Steve! You're the Man too! Thanks for the New Thread!
and hello again everyone !
Jim, and thanks for all your daily Holiday greetings these last few days.
Hope your Christmas season has had some Special Moments....♥
Son in law is home recovering, grandson is with his Mom's mother in Shepherdstown, I have the beeper, and am going to get OUT and try to find some winter birds close by.
How about that Dana! She had the Royal Pair all to herself this morning! ☺ She and Little Man, that is ♥
Was nice to hear from Glo this morning too, and I am wondering how all our other Eagle Pals are doing...
...hoping this is a good day for all...
I spent all that time in bed, had lots of time for prayers, hope that they ALL get answered
Let's not talk about the weather for New Year's Eve hereabouts.
I am working that night!
But I do return to dayshift on Saturday for two months...
Yay, Margy, a welcome repreive, I'm sure!
Well yes Paula, but I will miss all morning and evening Nest activity except on my days off...but the days ARE getting longer.
☺
Enjoy your days, friends.
All weather-dressed and taking the camera out for awhile.
xx oo
Hi, Paula, Hedgie and crew.
So Cal is experiencing something like winter. Cold nights and it never warms very much during the day.
Somewhat sunny today as we approach afternoon and about 55°. Right now it says the high will be 66°, but they've been adjusting the high downward lately.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Just returned from my am-pm excursion.
Thanks for the fresh thread, Steve.
Paula, the news releases you had posted about eagles were very interesting.
It is beautiful outside - the sun is so warm. I need to put my feet up for an hour or so.
BBILW
Good mid-to-late afternoon.
Thank you, Steve.
Sunny here and snow is nearly gone. Was able to get out to provide some sustenance for the critters.
Hi Jim -- hope you have been enjoying the holiday spirit.
Darth and I have much to dispose of but, alas, no one to leave things to so we have way too much stuff. Would like to give to charity or consignment shop. He has toys that are over 70 years old -- maybe the Smithsonian?
Got the inside of the oven door clean and now letting the self-clean do its thing. Really needs it.
Lolly, so happy you had a few days with Laurel and the boys -- yes, I guess a GGD should go on the wish list menu. Also, friends in Houston sent a cookbook of Texas-style recipes. Will really enjoy trying some soon.
Paula, so generous to pass along your Mom's china. Serious way to share the love.
Dana, I think Little Man has concluded that his Ed will not return and is ready to settle into a routine that says he wants to be all yours now. You two need each other.
Margy, don't have any sippy cups to send you but that was a very funny suggestion. Seriously, please feel better soon.
Hope all with tummy aches and any other types of aches and pains will recovery quickly.
Well, been too long on my foot/leg and swelling is returning. So off to elevate. Later.
Diego is cavorting in the outdoor exhibit again ... kinda foggy there though and it's hard to see the Pandas at times.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Good afternoon. Rus, Rebecca, and I just got back from brunch. Time for napping and relaxing. They will head back to Northern VA in awhile. It has been a nice visit.
Margy, keep drinking that cranberry juice. Someone once told me that I needed a sippy cup for my wine. Somehow, that doesn't compute. Cranberry juice in a sippy cup, okay. If you need a sippy cup for wine, maybe you don't need wine. Maybe.
Have been taking and printing pics of the raped Christmas box, as well as installing software for my slide converter. Guess now it's time to get the trash out to end of driveway.
Judie, forgot to thank you yesterday for the explanation as to why deets don't get frostbitten feetsies!!! Thank you---you are so smart...don't know why I never thought of that!!
I saw the answer about the frostbitten deet feetsies, but I did not see what prompted it. Very creative answer.
Good Afternoon Everyone! Our dear friends from Paw Paw stopped by to visit & are von their way before the sun goes down!
I added a set of "local" Xmas trees & also 2 neat gifts to "HO HO HO"!!
Gonna watch end of Saints game & try to spot daughter & SIL! LOL
Loretta, your avatar is very nice.
Good luck on spotting your folks at the game.
Love all the new pictures, Loretta. HO HO HO is right !
Hi Shirley, sounds like a nice day for you and the family.
Maine is rough looking, see white caps! Red thing is gone from Cape Coral.
Lynn, will you post pictures of the busted up package from PO ?
Kind of a funny brunch. They wanted to take me to a nice place for brunch, but I don't really do brunch often, so I didn't know of a place outside of House of Pancakes or something like that. (They like to have Sunday brunch in Arlington. Anyway, we ended up a tavern that was more like a honkey-tonk bar. Different, but okay. It was tucked into a nice little neighborhood downtown. The characters looked like something appropriate for a tv program.
What did you have to eat ??
Best brunch I ever had was in the Space Needle in Seattle, an hour's worth of eating, eggs benedict, fruit, cheese, and watching two mountain ranges, the Cascades and the Olympians...that was in the early 1970's
I had a mushroom omelet They had eggs and French toast. First place we went to was closed for the holidays. A very small restaurant. It was closed for Thanksgiving, too. I think it would have been fancier.
All the food selections sound nice, Shirley...
I resolve to clean up this computer for the New Year, so I can watch more cams and not get all frozen up!
At least NCTC and this blog does not freeze me up.
That would make me, boiling.
Oooh, Shirley, you must have been at the local version of Cheers -- bet everybody knows your name, now.
Well, off to prepare some dinner. Pasghetti tonight with salad. Will use my sippy cup tonight w/wine.
Hello...
Margy, GG was in the Space Needle many years ago, having dinner, I believe, and she laid her pocketbook on a ledge beside her table and when she went to get something out of it...it was gone! The restaurant rotated and her purse went one way and she went the other! LOL
Hope you are feeling better today, Judie...
sounds like a nice meal and beverage coming your way....
xox
hope you will be watching for the Eagles, their time might be coming up soon....maybe....possibly....
Oh Wanda that is funny! I understand completely !
that's how I could enjoy those two mountain ranges, around and around we sent, slow enough, though, no motion sickness !
EAGLE !
Good afternoon. I hope to catch the royal pair this afternoon; if I'm lucky. I should give someone my phone number so they can call me, I keep missing them.
I think I heard the weather for tomorrow was snow showers. I hope not! Little Max is coming here tomorrow with Mom, Dad and brother.
EAGLE!!!!
Make that, Two !
two
eagles arrive, and so do the black lines! Is it kinetic energy ???
Right Place at the Right Time, Diann!!
Sure hope Max and his family can make it Diann, maybe they will see our Eagles !
daggone those lines, messing up some good photo ops
WONDERFUL!
Just caught a glimpse of Lib. Don't think they are doing any nestorations right now. On a Holiday:)
one gone other looking all around
now two again
OK...they are fooling me...nestoration going on right now!
maybe their warmth is messing with the cam signal....
So glad I told Dustin to move aside...MY TURN. I got rewarded!
Did I see some beaking or is Belle whispering in his ear??
Wow, both...
Oops just one, Lib left
Lib is back
oh they are tricky tonight!
Probably both, Diann ♥ ♥
Heading out for a little while but I sure do see those 2 lovelies in our nest!
Belle is checking out the egg cup!
Hi eagle buddies! Nice to watch with ya!~
yes indeedy Paula...
lines gone for now ☺
...were ! :(
wow quadruple heads what an illusion
Getting some double images...
Can't tell who is moving sticks now, but good to see they are still working on the renovations!
If that black line isn't on one head, it's on the other!
NO DOUBLE IMAGES HERE...you all have had too much celebrating;)
Belle is on the left, Lib is on the right.
LOVE THAT SHOT!
Wow, those black lines and double vision are hard on these old eyes. But I'm not leaving until they do.
The guys are saying they're hungry. So I must get supper soon.
Wave to our Max as he goes by tomorrow.
...later
Lib is telling her off ...
Belle poofed
finishing touches coming up for the night ?
Lib still there
Belle is back!~ Ghost eagle!
what an apparition that last view was !
Lib is gone... I think!
Thought there was 2, now not sure. Had taken off my glasses for a moment
I BEG YOUR PARDON...I SEE DOUBLE IMAGES TOO!
It was the ghost Belle, Paula...
I got a pic of that, anyone else?
Did you get a pic of that, Margy?
Poof!
Was there 2 there Margy?
sucked right out of the nest !
What a great, long visit and wonderful views, black lines or no!
Eagle at BWE
Gotta go grab a shower....
Paula, I think it was the ghostly image, I will put that one on Magpie's Roost now, and then add the others to album later.
one minute...
Enjoy the visit and the company:)
Okay that one is on the Roost link, will post others later, shower for me too
ttfn xo
Thanks, Margy...think that was Ghost Lib!
Yippee!!!! Finally saw them!
Didn't see them leave 'cuz the boys were clamoring for supper. Oh well, got my eagle fix for today.
... later
Well, I goofed! Was reading back on the blog and not checking the nest!!!! Bad me! However, I am sooo happy you eagle buds got a great visit.
Laurel and boys left and Jack and I relaxed. I spent time on the computer reading mail and deleting. Also spent time on my new phone. It is so much fun! I am learning new things! Even downloaded from i-tunes the TCU Fight song.
LYNN, did you get a slide converter? Please let me know how it works. I am hoping to get one soon. Thought I might get it for Christmas but got the phone instead. We have hundreds of slides I would LOVE to convert to digital.
Laurel called on her way home to say there was still a iot of snow and ice on the side of the road and under bridges. We did not have all that much snow, but what we got was a blizzard and the snow piled up in drifts and is lingering. We have snow predicted for Tues. We'll see!
Both OK eagle cams are up and running. Trying to figure out what I see in the water, but I can not see that well. lol
Well, Lolly, you might have trouble seeing, but you sure are a Looker ! ☺
xo pics are up on the album, had to bypass a few due to black lines across the views :(
ttfn now, the bubbles
Speaking of digital pics... FYI on my digital picture frame...you can insert an SD card or flash drive in the back...that's how it holds so many pics
Thanks on the OK cams...haven't gone back and checked lateley.
That right pic looks like a side of the nest...
OK cam update -
22 December 2009: The cameras are now online, although we are still working through some
intermittent problems now and then. The eagles do spend some time at the nest, but are not
there full time yet. NOTE: We will be unable to answer eagle cam emails until after the holidays.
A new and improved eagle nest cam page will debut sometime in early 2010.
I think those are just those tree stumps in the water...they look white now instead of black
Paula, probably snow on the tree stumps. lol I could not figure it out! They had a LOT of snow Christmas Eve when we go ours. Thanks for your younger eyes!
Or it could be ice!
OK, makes sense Lolly!
Whoops! Had to change my image! TCU plays in the Fiesta Bowl a week from tomorrow. Getting into the spirit! Have downloaded the fight song to my phone.☺
It's a nice view at Oklahoma and will be fun to watch!
Headed for a nap,
work at midnight,
see you all later.
Hope it is a nice evening for all..
xo ♥
Broke from slide converting to eat. Need nourishment to keep at it---talk about a time-consuming process! People pics are getting priority. Daddy's scenic shots will have to wait til maybe someone elses' lifetime!!
Shirley, Judie's answer about deer feet was in response to my wondering how their feet don't get frostbite form walking in the snow so much!
Margy, I will post the pics of box/gifts in a little while.
Lynn, have you printed any of the pictures yet?
On the OK cam the left cam has stopped or stuck. The one on the right is live. It is the right amount of light for our time of the day.
Oh, yes, Margy! I am a looker! lol
Lolly, if you haven't discovered it yet, your i-pod should also take photos and videos and play radio stations, among other things. It seems that each time Dustin picks up his ipod, he discovers something else that it is designed to do. Neat little device:)
Oh, my! Caltrans has changed their cam angle. I do not like heights! This one turns the tummy!
Yep, Lolly, Christie and Shannon gave me a slide converter so I can "save" my dad's slides. I can see some deterioration in quality..............they go from '56-'70.
Lynn, those "restored" slides will be priceless to you and your family...even if they have deteriorated a bit. An 8mm film that we had put on a CD for a friend turned out really well. Was so pleased with the results. It was a little pricey, though. We and GG have umpteen 8mm film that we would like to have transfered to CDs, will do that "someday".
Our early pics are all slides. I want to convert them. I want to print some and I want to be able to give to Michael and Laurel CD's with all the pics. So, Lynn you will have to tell me what brand you have and how you like it.
Time to go heat leftovers. Oh, I love leftovers!
No, Lolly, not planning on printing them. Putting on discs.
Logging in on PC to put pics on blog.
Have had a nice hot shower, in my pj's, sitting in my chair in front of the fire, let the game begin!!!!!!
Lolly did you put on any pictures of the pj's footies?
Interesting link:
Africam
No, I haven't Dana. I did get a picture though. If you promise not to tell Laurel, I'll put them on the blog. lol
I won't tell!
OK, Margy, pics are posted on my Lair.
I don't know if I want to watch this game, Lolly.
Good Evening - What is this secret I am hearing?
Shirley - on your Africam - go to the lower left to North American and see which Eagles' nest is there.
Lynn you have a big project going. Hubby took my dad's slides and put them on CD's. I am really glad to have them - beats the old slide projector we used to use.
Hi Dana! How is the Little Man doing?
Glad you found a way to get him into his own bed.
Lolly you have had a terrific holiday from what I hear you saying. Is it this weekend you see Michael?
Lynn - Who did send the cheese?
Hope you get some satisfaction from the Post Office concerning the condition of the box you received.
That is so suspicious.
Yes, I noticed that. Both the eagle cam and the osprey cam.
Rus told me about the link. He says that there are often hyenas there.
Jo, whoever tampered with the box apparently also had other(s) open, too, and put it in the wrong box!
Good for Ed, Jo! I can tell this is going to be a big project!
Know what you mean about the game, Shirley........argh!
Lolly, bet Joey loves those footed pj's----real sexy!
Rus and Rebecca just left. He did not want to watch the game.
Yes, Jo, that is really suspicious. It sounds like the post office needs to do some investigating. It also sounds like someone not so smart was involved.
Love the footed pj's, Lolly!
Okay, Lolly is into the game now.
Lolly great pic of Laurel and boys!
First quarter: Cowboys 7, Redskins 0. Yuck.
Lynn - do you think that the box could actually have been delivered to the wrong address and was opened and presents unwrapped before if was apparent that it wasn't theirs?
Just trying to sloth this one out other then a post office thief. Nothing was missing was it?
Jo, I liked the Africam, but I could not listen to those crickets for too long. Rus said he fell asleep listening to them, but got waked up by the hyenas.
I know I am an hour or more ahead of myself but I am going in and get pj's on. I'll be back......
You would expect some kind of explanation from the post office for a damaged package like that. Was it insured?
Okay, I have posted a bunch more Chritmas pics. Oh, yes, Jo....they are really sexy. lol Laurel always sleeps in warm pj's. She is always cold and Joey is always wanting the windows open.
We go to Michael's on Friday afternoon. Michael is working hard on a case that goes to trial soon. He is working all the time.
Lolly, when I first married, my husband thought it was necessary to have the window open every night. Sometimes it froze open. I think that is too much fresh air, not to mention a waste of heat.
You have email Shirley
Link to another cam in Africa...
Sorry (not really) Shirley! GO COWBOYS!
Lolly - The bunch more Christmas pics
I can't find any new ones... Isn't the footsie pj one the last one posted?
Lolly - Caltrans will change to the closer up view of the nest once there are eggs in the nest...then pull out again when the eaglets start flapping their wings.
Off to find my pj's
BBILW
Jo, I uploaded the pictures. Then my sister called. So my post saying I had the pictures up came long after I had put them on. Yes, the pj picture is the last. Now remember...do not tell Laurel. She said "Mom you are not to post that pic, me in these pjs and no make up." lol
Oh Boy, can't wait to see Lolly's pj pics!!! I won't tell!
Just put the last set (I think) of Xmas pictures on~~they are our dinner hostess & home of MANY decorations.
Fubby keeps changing the channel on Dallas-Redskins game!! It probably doesn't matter, but I may go downstairs. I like to watch anyway. BBL or maybe Sooner ☺
Jo, can't really imagine it going to the wrong place......address was very large and clear. Was not insured---and P.O. told her that if it was undeliverable for any reason it would not be "returned to sender", either, so don't know why in the world she didn't insure it. The thing is that the arse who did it KNOWS he/she won't be caught....wonder how many independent contractors handled it between MO and here?
Lynn, have not been in on all of this conversation. Was there anything missing?
Jo, guess my two books and froggie toy just didn't appeal to anybody. Luckily, they must not have opened one book that had cards (sealed) with cash in them for the grandgirls.
Lolly, maybe Laurel is not sexy in the pj's and no makeup, but she is beautiful.
It would be hard to be sexy in front of your mother's Christmas tree with your two children, anyway. That is when you are supposed to look beautiful.
No, Lolly, nothing missing.
Truly think that if it was a postal inspection, they haveto open carefully and rewrap and put in a note of explanation.
No, Lolly, nothing missing.
Truly think that if it was a postal inspection, they haveto open carefully and rewrap and put in a note of explanation.
And don't think they would have put in an extra gift!!!
Ha, ha---cop just stopped a female for littering----made her pick up the trash and gave her a written warning!!!
Hate litterbugs!!
Laurels' pj's look comfy!!
Loretta, your friend sure does a lot for her age!
Thank you, Shirley. I think she is beautiful!!!
It really is puzzling about the package.
You know what Laurel really like about the pjs? They are long! It is hard to find long enough pjs when you are 5'11"!
Nice pictures, Loretta. That lady is amazing.
Loretta - it must take a month ahead of Christmas to start setting out all those items! They are beautiful.
Jo, I answered your mail.
Got It! Wasn't sure you had the other African link. The first one you had I think was Pete's Pond. This is the
Boswanna (?) one.
Great pictures, Loretta. Hope that is me when I am 90. I always want to have the Christmas spirit and have joy in decorating.
Oh, Laurel....
You have some interesting Santa's there, Lolly...Surfing, dolphin, Pez...
All right,Paula!!! Trying to get me in trouble!
Those are my novelty Santa's. Then there are my pretty ones, then my music box ones, the stuffed ones, etc, etc, etc!
The surfing Santa came from Hawaii. Laurel and Joey bought it for me on their honeymoon.
I'm afraid for someone to mention the football score
Lynn, those postal pictures, are awesome, you will have quite a case to present...
nothing missing, but something extra! Whoo boy!
Awww...
I was just showing my sons GF a glass hermit crab in a shell that my Mom bought me in Hawaii.
I really like the additional pictures of Laurel and the boys and the Santas and the decorations and all that. Now, what is Laurel's email address so we can tell her how pretty she looks ??
☺
Your secret, is safe! sort of ...
Everyone's Christmas pictures have been so nice! And the snow ones too.
I decorated my little tree, with necklaces! The ornaments were too gangly, will have to work on that for next year.
Margy, you do not want to know the score unless you are a Dallas fan.
Love that concrete Goose and the Moose at your friend's Loretta...
and all the other things too
Skins are getting their butts kicked, unfortunately. 17 - 0
Jack says...."Suck it up, Redskins colors are too ugly to ever win anything!"
Jack said that!!!! Not me!!!
Whoops sore subject, rough score, unless one is a Dallas Fan....but we don't know any Dallas fans, do we ? ☺
Where is Norma when I need her?!!! Go Cowboys!!!!!
Oh Lolly, you and Jack! Of course!
How did I not know that ! ☺
Hope you are enjoying things. When I read you post earlier it sounded like you took a bath in your pajamas!
I do have a confession to make. SIL,Joey is a Giants fan. He is from Long Island. He has brain washed Joseph, therefore the Giants bedroom. Laurel always wears her cowboy jersey on game day! Then there is Jacob. You will like this. We do not know where this comes from, but he says he is a Redskins fan. lol Is it the name? Is it stubborness?? We have all been amazed. I just think it is him exerting independence and he like the protests he gets. He is too young, he does not watch football!
And Jack adds..."No one who knows anything about football could be a Redskins fan."
I better slide my Good Nights in, have to get ready for work.
I put a few pictures on Feathers, Fur and Miscellaneous, of today's outing and the Mockingbird from the other day here.
Prayers for a restful evening, and that wellness, abounds.
God Bless Us, Every One
See you tomorrow!
xoxo ☺ ♥
Okay, Lolly, here we are saying all kinds of nice things about your daughter and your Santas, etc., etc., and your Jack has the nerve to insult the Redskins' team colors. Good grief, Jack.
Have a quiet night at work Margy.
Loved the pic of the mystic eagle from this evening.
Oh, Jack....
Jack's in big trouble now!
Sounds like Jack is trying to provoke us, there.
Gotta turn in for the night here so I'm rested for little Max tomorrow. So each and everyone have a blessed sleep and a good morning tomorrow.
God bless!
Nope,Margy, only take a shower in my pjs when they need to be washed!
roflmbo
Night Diann - going to be much colder in the morning! Little Max will certainly warm up things!
Shirley....Jack says "There is a difference.....our daughter is beautiful, Redskin colors are not."
Oh, Jack is always in trouble. He likes stirring things up! But,he is a nice guy. You should see all the pecans he has shelled tonight while watching the game.
Nite Diann! Sweet dreams!
Hedgie ( a #1 Redskins Fan ) hasn't been on here since 10 pm! She is either in the bubbles, watching the news or fallen asleep watching the game. BUT Jack you're in big trouble when she reads what you are saying..... ROFLMBO
Aha! Found some slides dating to '51 when we went to India! Black and white...remember seeing (and have) prints but never noticed slides before!
I'm sure glad I haven't sat glued to the tube during htis stupid game......thank goodness, season is nearly over!!!
Saying goodnight to all my fine, fowl friends. See y'all tomorrow!
It is discouraging, isn't it Lynn?
LOL Hedgie didn't read the last few comments - BOY! Jack you have been saved!
With that I am saying Good Night
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for all
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Oh-oh...fightin' words! Tell Jack Burgundy and Gold is BEAUTIFUL, Lolly!!! Oh, well, congrats to you all this year. Just wait til 2010!!!
Bye!
Oh,someone will point it out to her.
Lynn, is just too nice! Nite, Lynn! Sweet dreams!
Regardless of the colors, they did play better. That is true.
Ouch...nasty loss. Giants had a bad one today, too.
Skins fans are VERY faithful fans!
Gonna close it down for tonight!
Catch ya'll tomorrow!
Hugs to all ♥
Nite Paula!
Sweet dreams!
Hi, Everyone!
Jumping in here to say 'howdy', and hope everyone with various ailments are feeling better tonight. Have had a restful day today. Did go over and feed the bulldogs, and they were glad to see us.
We went out to breakfast this morning, and the hot coffee really helped warm us up. It was cold here earlier--in the 40s this morning!
Left the heater on for the bulldogs tonight--they'll need it!
Have 'The Sound of Music' on the TV. Haven't seen that one in a while!
Guess I'd better set the eye scanner and say goodnight. The porch light is automatic, the night light and the Christmas lights are on. Prayers being said for everyone. Have a really good night's sleep, and will talk to you in the morning. Sleep tight!
Goodnight! Love all you guys! :o]
Good night, Andy.
Oh, sorry, good night, Paula.
