Wish it was a banana split.....
Hi, Megan,
A banana split sounds great! I love ice cream, even when it's cold outside! And bananas are really good for you, with all that potassium.
have been watching the Finland nest since I found it in 06, have never seen the light below that bright....:)
Sharon that was nice of you, that is the hospital Judie is at.....
Not sure, Helen, but think the sun went down lower, so it's not hitting the chains any more. Really pretty sight, wasn't it?
Hello Andrea:) and everybody else too! yep, I love bananas. Off to the wreath machine, got to go make Jo's wreath:)
Have a great day!
Sharon, what a wonderful way to support our troops! Must've been quite an experience.
Conversation in my class as students are drawing their Gatsby maps. "Oh, a bay has water in it? That is all water?" Sometimes they scare me. I am glad that the young lady learned something today.
What a rewarding experience, Sharon.
Megan,
Hope you plan on coming inside and warming up every so often--don't know how you do it, working outside!
Guess you're really bundled up, though. Have a fantastic day! TGIF!!! :o]
Good Morning, Shirley!
That's amazing--sometimes the youngsters really scare me! Glad that girl learned something new today!
Sometimes it seems as if they don't see anything but their cell phones!
Shirley,
Bet you can't wait to get your new glasses. I think I need new ones, too, but Hubby needs new ones worse, so will wait a while.
Say, there's no snow in the nest this morning! Looks like the sun may be shining, too. Hope we see more nestorations today.
Wow, my tea has gotten pretty cold--it's more like iced tea. Gonna go microwave it a bit. Be right back...
Morning, all!
Frank, aka Darth, you did a wonderful job posting about Judie. Please give her our love and prayers. And please give us an update when you can.
OMG....I have not caught up on the blog all the way yet, but saw the post from Frank.....Judie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am SO thankful that they have realized the urgency and that the wait is over. Frank, thank you for letting us know, and both of you for realizing how important you are to us!
Good morning everyone. Still cold and yet beautiful here. Might venture out today and see if I can locate an eagle. Depends on timing as I work tomorrow and have a special trip planned sunday to celebrate a loved ones 90th birthday if the weather co-operates.
MEGAN!---It's been years since I have had a banana split!!---Would love to try to eat one now!!---
2 eagles at BWO
poof at BWO
came back....:)
Good Morning, Glo, Lynn, and Paula!
Ooh--a nice hot mug of tea feels good on my frozen fingers! It's still only 49 degrees out here. Do need to go check on my washer and dryer, too--in the garage. Think I'll warm my fingers up first.
I agree--Frank (aka Darth)did a great job of letting us know about Judie last night! Still praying, and hope we hear from Frank before we know it, that Judie's on the mend.
Well, my dryer's buzzing again, so I guess I can't procrastinate any longer. Be back in a little while.
Have a fantastic morning, everyone!
MORNIN' PAULA & HEDGIE!---It's getting warmer--we are up to 26 now!!---But I just read in our am papers---nearly 18,000 folks are without electricity in WV!---prayers for those folks--
LOL....Mits, if I was that tree climber at BWO, I would not have climbed anything in that wind yesterday!!! Guess we shall see how it works out today.
Megan, do you really have a wreath machine, or are you referring to your hands??? PLEASE stay warm. That lucky Jo---getting another wreath!!! Neat!
Oh, Shirley, scary.....what did she THINK a bay was???? Duh!
Omigosh, I just peeked at the Snowman cam before running to the dryer--LOOK at all that snow! Guess Michigan has really been hit hard! Hadn't checked this cam in a while.
Check the number of flamingos that are out this am at the FONZ-----
Lynn, I do not know what she was thinking. I try to expand their brains. Sometimes the gaps in knowledge are surprising. This is an eleventh grader in dual enrollment. Shudder.
It's up to 25 here now, but wind is still blowing....argh!
Can't access Snowman from school. It was very snowy yesterday.
Must go run Macbeth tests through Scantron machine. Oh, I hope they did well.
I'm chuckling about the potassium remarks and warming the tea in the microwave...reminds me of my Dad. Oh, my goodness, do I have a lot of fun memories of him, his last year with us. The last year that we had him, GG was recovering from a cancerous tumor near her spine, and I was the caregiver for both of them. My Dad was a very serious coffee drinker (all day long). GG use to make him coffee whenever he asked for it, but, I just didn't have time (there was so much to do with 2 parents needing assistance). So, I would make a big pot of coffee in the morning and Dad would drink it and when there was none left...he would re-warm what was left in his last cup in the microwave. One day when he was feeling to bad to walk to the kitchen, he asked me to warm his cup up. When I opened the microwave door, there were three cups of half empty coffee in there:) Happened that way often...made me feel guilty for not making him fresh coffee;(
One day, Gene had brought home a ton of bananas from the store where he worked (perfectly good, but a day too old to be sold). I placed them on the table in a basket, and as we sat there, Dad ate one after another. After I discreetly took them away, he had eaten 10 of them!
The next day, he had a doctor appointment at the VA Center and they did blood work. When we finally got to see his doctor, he told me Dad's potassium level was sky high. I asked him if eating a lot of bananas would do it and he said yes!:) I miss my Dad so much:(
Hey, Andrea, thanks for the reminder about the buzzer for the clothes in the dryer. My buzzer sounded last night and I was so engrossed in what was on TV that I ignored it, clothes are STILL in the dryer...wrinkled, I'm sure:(
I'll throw a wet towl in with them and run them for a few minutes...should do the trick!
Good Morning All! I told myself to just go on over to the blog and leave those emails hang a while - so thankful I did. News from Frank is very concerning. I'm thankful she is getting the care she needs. Judie was trying to hold out for the Dec 22 appointment with the Dr she wanted. The pain must have been unbearable and I know Frank did right by getting her over to Walter Reed. I pray they take good care of her. She is a very strong woman and I am anxious to hear from Frank again.
I fixed that buzzer thing, just cut it off!! I will find em when I get ready to put another load in!!!! I know, Wanda, I miss my Mommy and Daddy so bad, too!!!
Shar, sounds like you had a very fulfilling evening. How long are you "home" for?
This large wreath will be for the inside of my home. Must have that "pine" smell other then spraying room freshener. It is such a fresh wreath that Megan makes for me that it lasts a very long time! So glad I met Megan and it would be great if she could take mail orders! I know you all would love them.
I just broke my coffee pot on my counter top by letting it slip from my hand. It was less than a half cup but What a mess...thankful that those little slivers of glass all stayed in one place. NOW I just may have to go out and get a second cup of coffee.
Going over to open some messages...
BBILW
Jo, did you break your coffee pot or your CUP? I am notorious for breaking my coffee pot, so when I visit a Thrift store, I stock up on the caraffe so I will have a replacement. They are fairly expensive in the stores, but I have gotten them for anywhere from 25¢ to $1.00.
No Judie news yet, huh? always hard waiting to hear...
Yes, Lynn, I do have a 'wreath machine'- it's a clamp machine and you use it to close the clamps on wreath form to hold the greens on. Makes a very sturdy wreath.
Almost finished Jo's wreath, just cut some fresh spruce for it so it will smell great.
Wish the wind would stop....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
good morning, everyone....

Jim
Fun memories for you, Wanda, I know. You were so fortunate to have your dad for so long. My daddy was only 50 and I was only 20 when we lost him. Miss him terribly to this day. :(
Jo, hope you didn't cut your fingers cleaning up the glass. I worry much more about breaking the carafe/pot since I put in my porcelain sink than when I had stainless....but so far, so good! (I brew my tea in a coffeemaker.)
Megan, warm up before you go back out!
Hi, Jim. Are you cold???
I, too, wish we would hear something from Frank aka Darth about Judie.....
I have been getting ads, ads, ads, for months from Dell, who made this computer...over 5 years ago now; and finally I checked one out in depth and "custom built" a moderate machine with not to many add-ons, and I went ahead and got it.
Well, yesterday morning, less than two days after I ordered, I got a visit from UPS with a cable; and then last night after 9 P.M. somebody started banging on my door. It turned out to be a FedEx man with my new printer...still under two days since my order.
The puter isn't "due" until after the 1st, but if they already have it more or less ready-built, maybe .....
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I broke the coffee pot and hubby says
I can get a new coffee maker. So all is well. I don't like cleaning up glass but hubby was out getting a haircut.
Like the rest of you I am so anxious to get some news from Judie's Frank. It may include surgery and that may take a while.
Just keep praying!
Well, Jo, while ED is in a GIVING mood, can you think of anything else you want?;)
JIM, Hope you can get ALL the pieces together before Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
Yes, Lynn, I was fortunate to have my Dad for 87 years and GG for 89.
I was fortunate to be retired and able to take care of him and Mom. I honestly enjoyed every minute of it:) They were so easy to care for, did not complain or make demands on me.
GG, now, is getting a little fiesty...and I just smile and agree with whatever she says;)
cHECK out Diego, Doing calisthenics on his back again, and I think I see a new entry in the blog about his exam yesterday.
I know there are new reports on the Channel Island site.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Isn't he just adorable Jim?? I watch him all the time when I am working! Just too much fun!!!
Jim, when I built a puter through Dell, I had it in less than 10 days!!! Hope you are as lucky!
Isn't Diego/Cloud adorable???
Wanda, you are a gem for sure!
My work week is done!! Gonna go wrap a few presents! I love you all, don't think I have said that in a few days! Need for you all to know that!
Well, I love you too even though you are finished working and going to wrap presents..... I just started shopping 2 days ago- thank goodness for Amazon..
Just got my new Mr Coffee maker!
I am happy now!
Lunch time here
BBILW
Coffee for lunch, Jo?
Good for you, Sissy!! Of course, you start SO early in the mornings!!!!
In case you missed it, there is a video clip of Diego's (Y. Li??) exam yesterday, but you've got to find the "videos" section of the site to look at it.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I just checked for a new thread (no, not yet), and I see the counts are in sync again ... 262 on both.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Exam video was good---love hearing his vocal protests! And slide show cute, too. Teeth are very prominent in it and he's sure getting long claws!!
Jim on yesterday's blog (I think) did you get to watch the Panda's Escape.
It was worth watching a couple times!
JIM
Panda Escape
This should work for you
Exam video - he sure is growing
A whopping 17 lbs and quite a handful!
Taking a break
BBILW
Good afternoon. Block 4 is working on an essay test. They are feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Hi, Gang,
I'm back, after doing a few chores, feeding the birds, and watering the plants in the front planter that the rain doesn't reach. Waiting now for another batch of laundry to finish drying.
No word yet of Judie! I bet Frank (aka Darth)will be spending the day with her, and won't have computer access until tonight. Still praying for all I'm worth about her situation.
USeeWildlife cam is driving me nuts! Can hear all kinds of splashing and quacking, but not a bird in sight on cam, just perfectly still water. Aaarggh! Oh, wait--there are now 2 ducks in the picture, but they are the size of pin heads!
tHANKS, Mema Jo. That is a very funny video ... The Great Escape!
I think that Diego's walking, etc., is "miraculous", since he's been sleeping through all the development stages ...compared to other baby Pandas I've seen.
But he can really move when he wants to. I think he likes that rug better than the slick floor. They should put something like that in the den area.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Wanda, I love the story about your Dad! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, believe it or not, when I went out to water the plants out front, one of our hummingbirds was there!
He was sipping from our big Lantana bush out there, which is covered with flowers. I DID refill the hummingbird feeder, so he's got plenty to eat. Amazed at how they survive in such cold weather!
Judie and Frank
I wanted to share a picture of Judie and our newest dadster, Frank. I know we are all waiting to hear from them. You all haven't met Frank yet. I have! Great guy! I hope he comes with Judie to our next gathering. He will fit right in.
Hi, Shirley,
Hope your kids make it through the essay test OK. I'm sure the challenge will do them some good.
Block 4 is still suffering. You would think I'd done gone and kilt them, poor kids. Means they need more practice.
They are begging me to remove some questions, etc., etc., (whine, whine). Claiming they haven't had to write a four page test even in an AP class. I have said they may have time on Monday to finish and that I know they can do it. Boy, do they need practice.
Wow, Shirley,
Thanks for the great picture of Judie and Frank! Very nice!
I'm sure your kids will get lots of practice with the essay test. Have to laugh--when I was in school, it seemed as if that's the only kind of test anyone ever gave me, except for my math teacher! He even gave us a bunch of those 'story problems' too, though. Come to think of it, those kids should be able to do pretty well on an essay test--seems like all they ever do is send and receive TEXT messages!
Guess that involves a whole other language, though.LOL :oD
These kids get college credit for this class. They are plenty smart. The one doing the most complaining is very intelligent, and usually can just whip off an assignment with ease. I do not think he is accustomed to being challenged.
This is my best class. They are good kids.
Say, just for fun, you ought to have them write an assignment in their 'Text speak'! It's kind of like reading shorthand!
That is the way they write notes to each other, even on paper. It is unreadable for most adults.
Great photo of Frank & Judie. Remember seeing it from the day you all went to see the Eagle release. Andrea you're probably correct in that we won't hear from Frank until this evening.
BBILW Going to bank for some fresh
new greens and then to Post Office....
You're probably right, Shirley! We'd probably need a translator!
Yes, Jo, it is from the eagle release.
Schools out!
Boy, do I want to go home. I wonder what the weather will do this weekend?
Jo,
I just watched the panda 'escape' video again--it is SO cute! Can't see enough of it!
We're supposed to get some heavy rain out here. Hope there's no snow in your near future!
Doesn't look like you should make any plans for Sunday... at least in the am.
Bitter cold tonight but some sun Saturday. Just don't blow away!
Now I am going to the bank.......
BBL
Well, folks, my dryer is calling me again. Better go get the stuff on hangers before it can wrinkle. Will be back in a little while....
Great picture of Judie and Frank, Shirley. thank you !!
Eagle Cam at Blackwater is ON !
they are still evaluating what they can manage, cam refresh-wise.
Yay! ☺
Good Afternoon Eagle Friends
OUR nest is a dark beauty this afternoon.
I recall that pic too, Shirley. Thanks for posting it again!
I remember how exciting it was when Shirley and Judie met for the Eagle Release...who was wearing the pink capri pants??
Very touching stories from Wanda about the days with her father...
loved the microwave and coffee mug tales
Omigosh, Hubby just called--he won a guitar at the Christmas luncheon at his work! Background noise was so loud he couldn't talk much, but MTBR!! Wow!
Forecast: Rain here; rain and freezing rain in Shepherdstown.
When my mother was advancing in Alzheimer's disease and we were looking for lost things, the refrigerator was a good place to start looking ☺ ♥
Geminid Meteor shower scheduled for Dec 13 into Dec 14 - might be good ones, good cold ones !
and Tundra Swans should be headed south from the cold cold northern climes....
Wow, Andy! Exciting!
It was exciting when we went to the eagle release. I was the one in the pink capri pants. Worked really well. Judie spotted me. There was a large crowd there that day.

Good News
The Eagle Cam is back online. We'll adjust the image updating times on both cams shortly, once we calculate how many images we can handle on our satellite dish.
Gonna pack up and head home. See you later!
Yes, Shirley, that's when we were getting to know you and Judie...☺
I'd better unload the dryer. BBIALW. :o]
Good grief, this wind is getting very old......
I bet it is Megan....
:(
nice new pic on your avatar, Andrea
Another one from Scotland?
I just checked in to see if we had any news on our Judie. I worry so about her and hope everything turns out alright. She and Shirley are so important to our group with their perspective on being the leaders of our school children and we love them as just plain Momsters. Prayers for both of those special ladies, they are such an important part of our children's lives. We all need more understanding between teachers and students and they have been wonderful in giving us that information. Love you ladies:)
Andy - congrats to your hubby! Does he play guitar?
Margy - thanks the BWE heads up!
BWE update -
12/11/09:
Welcome!
Our new tree climber has us back online. Much thanks to him and our cam technician.
We've been told that eagles have been seen at the nest, and the nest does contain new sticks.
We'll change the image update times shortly.
Lisa doesn't have the pop up link on the page yet.
BWE nest is looking good!
Amen, Wanda ....
I think there is an Eagle with food at BWO
sure hope Hedgie's computer is running okay...haven't "seen" here in awhile this afternoon
Hmm guess some things to fix and BWO and BWO...BWO pic ends up on my BWE page!
I noticed that too Paula, have to go back and forth a little
Blog numbers are messed up again!
looks like we have another "hole" in the middle of our nest...
and there is our Hedgie ☺
my numbers are looking normal...so far
What does your hubby do, Andy? Is he in the music industry? Guitar sounds like quite a different prize.
Margy, computer bogged down....had to reboot!
figured things could be tenuous with the weather Lynn
Brrr I hate to do it but I think I have to go out in awhile.
might change my mind.
think I'll watch the nest for a little longer first.
Dana has some posts on E-M...
just reading them now...
Having a rough afternoon! Got a sneexing fit---only about 100 times! Don't know what causes it, but it happens every once in a while. Then fell off stepstool trying to put lights on the tree---luckily I landed on my feet, but jarred me good for sure. Couldn't really see right in the daylight to do the job right, either. So quit...but now ready to get baqck to it!
BWE nest does look good---very symmetrical!
Still anxious about Judie. Thanks for sharing that pic again, Shirley.
Also sealed up Christmas box for mom and sis, and forgot to put in moms' special nail files that Christie found for her. Going to try to slit tape and slide it in and then put on more pkgng. tape!
Okay Gracie, I mean Hedgie...
be careful...
Eagle -
Watch the nest instead !
EAGLE..both
Colors are perfect at the nest
taking pictures
hi Helen

Oops...fat-fingered again...SNEEZING not sneexing!!! Duh!
Guess numbers are okay now...were reading 211 when I first logged back on!
Margy...think you should stay in! Bitter out there----and wind is STILL blowing.
moving sticks at the top of the nest
knew what you meant, Hedgie...
☺
looks like alot of bonding tonight
Nest shot looks like an x-ray image---can see through the birds, kind of!
sure does Helen ♥ ♥
I'd like to bond with a new thread !
Do you see what I mean??? Will post pics.
"Hey where did my partner go ? ""
yeah, I have to keep signing in every few minutes when I want to post something...
all gone I think...that was a late return visit for them...
poof
Hedgie, I took a number of pictures too...from earlier and now...
I'll see what you put up and won't post duplicates
Shoot---only my second capture saved....first one was better!
Just returned - can't wait to see the pics of the visit I missed.
Margy thanks for noticing that the BWE cam is up. That nest is always soooooneat! Maybe the piece of pine will even be brought in soon.
The wind has died down and it is 32°
Not too bad out there right now.
If it drops to 17° as predicted I sure hope the wind doesn't start up again.
Okay - Jo - it was a nice visit, will head over to the album now and post when they are up. xoxo
Hi Ya'll:
Here's an update on Judie a/o 5 pm ET.
She just returned from the CATH lab at Walter Reed where they were successful in opening up several blockages in her right thigh. She now has blood flow and warmth down to her foot. So far, so good. She sounds great, and not feeling any pain based on the drugs they have been giving her. It's like she has had one too many cocktails based on her speech. As we say, she is s-m-o-o-t-h, very smooth.
If there's a rough patch, she has not been allowed to eat or drink anything [except sips of water] since she entered the hospital. Her last meal was noon on Thursday. Finally, while we were on the phone, they brought her dinner. I thought she would take a bite out of the server if he did not put the plate down. Needless to say, I let her go at this point to enjoy her meal.
I must say, your thoughts and prayers were right on target. You are quite a group, all you MOMsters and POPSters of the eagle world. We thank you so very much for caring.
By the way, we have a pair of eagles spotted taking up residence and building a nest at nearby Lake Accotink Park. We shall look forward to seeing our new neighbors.
Well, folks, that's going to be it for now from here. I may give you an update as the situation warrants. But, more than likely you will have your ole Judie back, blogging away... certainly by Sunday, if not tomorrow.
My warmest to all.
Frank [aka Darth]
P.S. If she has not explained or it is not obvious, Judie needs to tell you how she bestowed upon me the pseudonym of "DARTH"
Frank aka Darth, thanks for the update:)
Hi Frank,
Better "Darth" than "Tiger" at this point. (Unless it's Wanda-Tiger.)
Thanks so very much for sharing the news with us. Good to know that Judie was ready to tear into that food. That is a very good sign.
Prayers continue for both of you.
Oh, Frank, so thankful that you let us know that Judie is doing so much better. Whew! Sighs of relief here, for sure. Please give her lots of hugs from the momsters when you go back to the hospital. Tell her we have been praying like crazy! Hope she does make it home quickly.
Cool that Accotink will be home to a pair of eagles! Hope you have a good camera!
Oh, Darth, what a wonderful post! Thank you so much! Hugs and prayers to you and Judie!
Frank I really want to thank you for the update. I have been anxious all day and it is relieving to have your message. Prayers will continue!
You may need to take dessert to her when you go in to visit!
Wish I could send her a Carl's malted. Once, when I was in the hospital, I was craving one. Although visitor's hours were over, Rus and Tom sneaked in the doctor's entrance with a group of doctors and delivered it to me. It was delicious.
I unpacked my laptop as soon as I got home this evening and went online to check for a Judie report. It was so nice to see Frank's message. Have been thinking about Frank and Judie all day.
I think I know a little about the "Darth" name. She told me that was how she told her students to pronounce her last name. She informed them that she was married to Darth. Some believed her and were confused when they learned that his name was really Frank.
Missed sundown, but it is now Hannukah. Blessed holy time for Geula and anyone else who is Jewish. Of course, Geula is well into day one by now!
deer and raccoon at Pix
Thanks, Shirley. I was figuring a play on Vader vs. Vjada!!! Frank, if you are still on....is the j silent and the a a long one??
What a welcome post, from Judie's Frank. Like that term "Popster ."
Thank you Darth! Warmth down to her foot, perfect timing!
Prayers continue, on and on.
And when children feel like eating, that is a good sign of getting better, applies to Big Kids Too !
xo
Hi, Everyone,
I'm back from the clothes dryer and a couple other chores.
YIPPEE!!!! SO glad to hear from Frank (aka Darth) that Judie is doing great, and eating everything not nailed down! Happy as can be that those clogs in her artery/arteries are gone, and her leg is pain-free! Best news I've heard all week!!! Thank GOD!!!
We've been biting our talons, er, fingernails over this one...
Blogger Cop is out in full force too ☺
Pictures are up in the album, might have taken and published too many, but I couldn't really pick out any I wanted to not post...
Need to do something else now.
Stay Warm....try to stay warm that is.
xo TTFN
Would you believe it? Was sitting in my classroom. The thermometer did say it was 72 degrees, but my feet and legs were feeling the cold air near the floor by the window. (Even in my long johns and thick socks, I felt it!) Kids came in complaining that it was too hot. It seems to be fashionable to complain that it is too hot. I do not understand.
Hi, Shirley,
That reminds me of my school--the classroom I'm in has a messed up thermostat, and it's always 80-82 degrees in there. Tuesday night when I left to go home after 5 hours, it was about 42 degrees outside. My system was in shock by the time I got to the car! It was that dampish kind of cold that goes clear through to your bones. Brrrr!
80 degrees definitley too hot!
Sometimes these kids complain when it is 68 or so.
Frank great news. Thanks so much. Now you rest. Sometimes the person waiting is more exhausted than the patient. They should give the waitee some of those meds.
By the way, Frank/Darth, if you're still there, can't thank you enough for the update on Judie! Please tell her that prayers are being said that she will be able to come home tomorrow, and that she will be healing up rapidly! God bless both of you! Pray that you'll get a REALLY good night's sleep tonight, too. Bet you're pretty sleep deprived by now!
Gonna read back on the blog and catch up--BRB!
Deet at snowman cam.
Kind of hard to see those deet at Snowman. Hidden behind the piles of snow.
Gonna take a panda nap. Hope to be back later.
One just knock the seed out of the feeder. It was standing on two hoofs.
moose on moosecam....
Hi all!
Darth, thank you for the report. I quickly looked for your post this evening. So thankful Judie is doing better. We will celebrate when she is back with us!
Shirley, thanks for the great picture of Judie and Frank. Great to put a face with a name.
Shirley, read to Jack your post about your student and what she said about a 'bay". That is just wild! Jack wants you to ask them "Who was our enemy in WWII?" He is really curious to see what their answers will be.
Lynn, read your comment about when you lost your Daddy. My daddy was 58 and I was 25 when he died. I am still at times over whelmed by the loss. Had Momma until she was 91. She was wonderful, alert, interested in everything, and NEVER complained. Also, she never took off her wedding rings.
Okay, now to tell you...we are at home. We left this morning. An hour down the road Jack tells me he has to get to the emergency room. Will not go into details (TMI!) but he had to be catheterized. He still has it and will be going to his urologist next week. He has a history with this problem. We had to come home, of course, and I have kept the tears at bay. My brother and sister and spouses are having a good time together. Have not seen Larry in a year! It has NOT been a fun day.
Oh thank you, Darth Frank....may the force be with you. Good news about Judie.
Just finished loading the vans, the wind has finally calmed down. Gonnna go make some more wreaths.
hello everyone
Full tummy and antihistamines kicking in for a panda nap. BBL.
Good evening Eagle Buds!! Blogger cop got me, after I typed a book of course!! Anyway.....what fabulous, wonderful, awesome, great news Frank aka Darth gave to us!!
I told Tom I am going to have to give him blogging lessons in case something should happen that he needed to relay to you all!! So grateful for this news! Now, for Judie to get home and tell us all about it!
Well, I actually posted that last post at 6:40.....just came back to puter and found a conflicting edit message...refreshed and it posted it!

Oh, Lolly, so sorry to hear about Jack and your change of plans. Please try not to cry. Know that it is disappointing, and that you are worried about him, but he, of course, is the most important thing at the moment. Hope he's not in too much discomfort now. ((((hugs)))) and prayers.
Sorry I wasn't here sooner to tell you
Hi - Thelma!
Lolly there has to be a good reason not to have made the trip. Praying for Jack to get the care he needs - You
can just start baking cookies and await the reason for all of this. I can feel your disappointment! :<(
Lolly, so sorry for the cancelled trip, glad you are home, and hope Jack is not in to much discomfort....:(
Been reading the days posts and so glad that Frank/Darth reported on Judie. Amazing they could do that and open that vessel!
Lolly, so sorry your plans were changed and hope Jack will be better soon!
Fubby just tapped me on shoulder~~fell asleep in front of 'puter! Now that's a first!
We did do physical labor at Chelsea~~~basement had flooded & wasn't noticed 'til yesterday. Had to unload tons of boxes of wooden picture frames & discard the matting & backing! The sump pump croaked!
Heading for lounge chair & Panda nap!
Great evenig to all! ☺
Lowreeda.....you never know from day to day what kind of fun OR yucky jobs you get assigned to do, do you?? Keeps life interesting, I guess!!!
Evening, all!
Went out and did some shopping after work. Michael is done!
Lolly - so sorry to hear about your change of plans...hope that Jack recovers quickly.
Lolly, so sorry about your plans getting interrupted. Hope Jack is better already.
Tiger taking an indefinite leave from golf.
Wanda, thank you so much for your kind words this afternoon. You all make me feel so good.
I checked the Walter Reed website to see if there was a card delivery system like we were able to do for Shar and Mrs. Riffe.....NOT!
Cooked dinner, we were both hungry. Sorta skipped lunch today. We were at the hospital and later we were not hungry. We are sitting here watching TV. As long as Jack is in his chair he is fairly comfortable. Hope he does not have the catheter too long, but possibly a week. Doctors office did not call back so we will know more Monday.
Also, had to go get Annie. She was happy to be released from "camp".
I now have a free weekend ahead of me. Will take care of some baking and other Christmas preparations.
Lolly, I have to hope that it was just the one girl who did not know what a bay was. I had decided I needed to do this project to keep them interested in the book. Gatsby is really not a hard read, but there is plenty to teach in it. I did not expect to end up teaching what a bay is. I did mention that a "sound" is also a body of water, as in Long Island Sound.
Jack will soon have a hockey game to watch. Think the STARS play around 9.
Would have been great to send cards to Judie. Too bad they do not have that courtesy.
It really looks like Judie might not be at the hospital long enough to worry much about cards. I think I will just send something to her home.
Yup, Shirley, just read that article on Tiger....now Dateline is on...talking about his affairs. Apparently, the Enquirer published a story about his infidelity the day before the car wreck incident.
Another split is upon us...
Larry King Live is doing a piece on Tiger.
Time for a split.
