morning again everyone.

Mits said...

have fun today, Lynn...

hedgie said...

Mits spoke, and we got a new thread!!! :)

Thanks, Mits, sure I will.

From old thread:
If you are in an area where ice/freezing rain is called for, make sure you are prepared for possible power-outages! For those of us on well-water, that means drawing extra drinking water, for me brewing plenty of tea, and filling tub for flushing purposes!! Get out flashlights, candles, lanterns!!
Stay safe if going out.
I will talk to you all later this afternoon. Bye!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I bet they are!!! I need to see pics, send me some!!!

Mits said...

Sissy, the most recent pics I have are on their family album, and it won't let me download and email them.....I have tried....but they are very busy....not to bore anyone with family details, but, Annie took the buy out from AOL and is a stay at home Mom, Kevin changed jobs, and Maggie has started public school in Howard County, her advocates thought it was time.

glo said...

Well looks like many of us are infor some major winter weather. I am heading to post office although its already snowing. Still forecasting major blizzard conditons tonight with hat thunder snow very high winds overnight into tomorrow so oo am not too sure abo having power tomorrow. Guess we will see how well lines have been secured since the derecho a year and a half ago. Shelter in emergency prep mode. Dex has lots of food sweater and booties. BUT its gonna be tough getting him out tomorrow. Clean and won't use papers in the house ever so out we will go at times. Take care all. I may be back on later today but ave those errands I must run now before it gets any worse. Charged cell phone and will charge spare battery for camera. I think I have a photo op or two coming up.

Mits said...

osprey in and out at Dunedin nest, has brought alot of nesting stuff....finally seeing an osprey at Cape Coral.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Bore with details -- on here? Come on Mits - we love details! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I spoke with Dana. Please continue to pray for her. This is a really hard time in her life! (((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) to Dana!

Mits said...

well you know me, Sharon....not my style:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

We LIVE for details! MORE, MORE, MORE!

Prayers for Dana!!!

Mits said...

roflmbo, Sissy.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I do know that Mits, I surely do! :) Me, on the other hand, will bore anybody who will take a minute to listen! By the way, does anybody else need to know the details of the Train concert?? This picture is him singing Mississippi to me! :)

Mits said...

oh dear:(:(:(

LANCASTER, Pa. — Police in central Pennsylvania say they arrested an Amish man on drunk driving charges over the weekend after he was found asleep in his moving buggy.

East Lampeter Township Police say 22-year-old Elmer Stoltzfoos Fisher, of Paradise, was slumped over and asleep in a slow-moving buggy on Sunday night.

An off-duty officer from nearby Quarryville reported seeing the horse pulling the buggy at a walking pace as it straddled the center line.

Police say a breathalyzer test snowed Fisher's blood-alcohol content was 0.18, more than twice the 0.08 legal limit for drivers.

ceil said...

Good morning all. Been to Mass and now out to shop.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY.
Lynne hope Raven gets better. Been through the best friend thing.
BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Thanks for the new thread, Steve.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

OMG, Mits, that is too funny! Charged with horsing around? :)

ceil said...

Hey better than a car. Horse was not drunk and he was the designated driver. Horse was probably going home.

Mits said...

roflmbo, Ceil...yeah the horse was the DD:)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Right, Ceil, that is good!

Mits said...

yes, Sharon there were additional charges of horsing around:)

Mits said...

the horse passed the breathalyzer test:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

You guys need to stop~~ I am bout to fall out of my chair laughing down here!!

paula eagleholic said...

Didn't know you could get a DUI in a buggy!

Yes, we love details! Hope Annie is enjoying staying at home!

And Sissy, how is Granny Riffe?

paula eagleholic said...

Good one! The horse was the DD!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yeah, Sissy, how is Granny Riffe?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

She is okay, in a nursing home right now, bad as we hate that. She is very confused, as always happens when she is in a strange place. She is slowly progressing with her physical therapy but doubt if she ever will be able to be home again. At least that is what they are saying. But they don't know Granny Riffe!!

Mits said...

Paula, Annie has been wanting this for along time......:)

Mits said...

Yes, Granny Riffle is a strong lady:)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Riffe!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Please pray for Kendra. She is really sick, no energy, has to walk with a walker because of weakness, back pain, not good!

Mits said...

that is a shame, Sharon....:(

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

She does not sound near as upbeat as she has in the past. Bless her heart, she is tired.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Happy Birthday, Shirley! Sang to you last night before going to bed.

NORMA...Your new dentist must be a great dentist! lol

MITS....so happy for Annie! That is where every mommy should be if that is what she wants.

Going down the middle of the road, and the driver was passed out? Sounds like the horse should have been arrested, too!

Sounds like some of you are having rough weather. Sure hope you do not loose power. We would miss you on here. It is 42 and wet here.

Today I shop and get my hair cut.

Lolly said...

So, I am heading out...busy day!

Stay warm!

BBL

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Going out to the mall with Mattie and Justin's mom for a minute. BBIALW!!

Costume Lady said...

SISSY...there is no such thing as going to the Mall for a MINUTE!
It takes at least 20 minutes to find a parking place:(
Gene said there was a police officer at the mall yesterday passing out tickets to those who parked in a HANDICAPPED space with no evidence of a handicap! Horray for them!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Morning, Everyone,
Gosh, I fell asleep after dinner in the recliner last night!
Wanted to let you know I'm OK, but with nearly frozen fingers this morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY!!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC, BLESSED BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!

Have put on all kinds of layers of clothes--need to go to the lab for routine blood tests this morning.
Hope my blood sugar level is low enough to suit the Dr. this morning!
It's only 39 degrees outside right now! At least it's not raining today. Will be back ASAP--talk to you soon! Must hurry; have to fast, and I'm starved! AM blood sugar at 4am was only 89! BBIALW.
Hope you're all having a good morning! :o]

paula eagleholic said...

Well, that's great for Annie, Mits.

Thanks for the update, Sissy. I know it's a lot of work for her...you just need to keep encouraging her and be upbeat!

magpie said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends.

Sharon, thanks that you called Dana, know how helpful that is.

Helen, great, Annie, stay at home Mom ! The other news, hope all goes well all the way around. Will love to see those pictures when it happens.

xo

magpie said...

Catching up at a running pace, overslept this morning! 92 year old girl friends needs to go to the store

Another round of prayers, for Granny, Kendra, and Lynne's Raven...I think maybe, Raven is in her blog pictures with Steve, the most recent ones she posted, maybe?

magpie said...

Hope Andy's blood sugar is good, that the weather just disappears and does not happen....

magpie said...

and continued prayers for all our everpresent and continued needs here...

especially for Dana on these difficult days

Costume Lady said...

BY THE WAY, my name was TIGER a long time before TIGER WOODS was even born!:):) Did Gene ever tell you all why he calls me TIGER?

Helen, get MM to take pictures of the M&M sisters and Ben from the album with her camera and send or email them to me. I will start an album for them as they grow, if you like..."THE KALIS KIDS".

magpie said...

and finally before I head out:

another round of

Happy Birthday Shirley ! xo ♥ ☺


TTFN gotta find shoes and car keys and head out

xo Hope everyone has a safe and magical day...

Mits said...

will do Wanda....:), thanks...one of these days I might try to set something up, but just dealing with some of this stuff on puter,just confuses me....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I want to hear the Tiger story on here if it is G-rated, otherwise email it! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

That was Tiger's mother-in-law who was admitted to the hospital. Wonder why she didn't leave with her daughter. Maybe he had an affair with her too! :)

Mits said...

she probably staid behind to use a 9 iron on him:)

Mits said...

off to church...bbl.

paula eagleholic said...

I forgot!!

Happy Birthday, Shirley!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Back from the mall! Becky did really good getting the kid's presents. I am so proud of her. Now, if I just had a boat load of money...

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
I'm back, feeling much better since I just snarfed down some heated-up chili for breakfast!
It's warmed up to 41 degrees outside now. The sun's out, so I guess no rain for today. Boy, the San Bernardino mountains are white from top to bottom! Tried to find a place to stop and take a picture, but every place with a good view had a 'no parking' sign up! The spot where people park to go bike or walk along the Santa Ana river was filled, too! I'll have to try again later.

Ms Bookworm said...

Wanda,
I would love to hear your 'Tiger' story! Must be a good one.
Well, I have some transcription homework to finish up. Will be back in a while. Oh--our raccoons must be back! Heard a regular circus going on atop our roof very early this morning! Wish I'd see them in the daytime so I could get a picture!

Ms Bookworm said...

P.S.~~Hey, Sharon! Nice avatar!

Ms Bookworm said...

Like your new one, too, Lynn!

Mema Jo said...

Good Afternoon All!
It's been a busy morning for me and sorry I just didn't get in here and say Hello before I started out today.

Sounds like all is going well ..

Prayers for Dana and for Judie!

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Jo:)
Andrea, what a beautiful Avatar...if you tell me what it is I may tell you how I got my name,"TIGER":)

Ms Bookworm said...

Mema Jo,
Yes, prayers for Judie and for Dana! Wish Judie had an appt. with the Dr. a lot sooner than it is!
Dana, you are ALWAYS in my prayers, and on my mind! Hope it does your heart good to see your daughter. I will, for SURE, be thinking of you today and always! ((((HUGE HUGS))))
for you, AND for Judie!

Ms Bookworm said...

Wanda,
This was taken on our Summer '08 vacation in Scotland. It's a flower bed at the Marriott Dalmahoy, which is about 7 miles outside of Edinburgh. The Dalmahoy is an old estate that was converted to a hotel and golf course. It's on 1,000 wooded acres, and it's without a doubt my favorite place on this earth! (Except for the Sycamore Palace, that is!)

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn - so sorry to hear about your Raven :(

Mema Jo said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EAGLE BUDDY SHIRLEY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Costume Lady said...

Andrea, that IS a beautiful place...I think I love it too!:)

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, I guess that does it! When I win the Super Lotto, I'll have to take all of you guys to Scotland! Not exactly a ROAD trip, more of a long hop across the "Pond", and THEN a road trip, but let's do it!
All I need now is the winning ticket!

magpie said...

Okay Wanda, you got your answer from Andrea, now, Ahem....We are ALL WAITING....

I know he calls you Tiger, but I never heard the reason for it, though I can think of Many !

xoxo

Good Day again, all....

magpie said...

That is a beautiful avatar, Andy ☺

Mema Jo said...

Andy, Is that Sycamore Palace on your avatar now? Beautiful. One reason I would love to visit Germany gang is to see all those beautiful palaces.... BUT
I know I could never walk those steps so Christine sends me photos - many photos.

magpie said...

sometimes the avatars are nearly as enjoyable as the posts !
Nearly, not quite ☺

magpie said...

Whew- that 92 year old pal of mine has me slam wore out !

Mema Jo said...

Ok Tiger - let her roar!

magpie said...

HI JO !!

I see you have us all set up for January with the new album....

You Rock !

magpie said...

I just can't imagine what it's like these days for Tiger Woods to wake up to first light, and first thoughts...about the recent events...

Woof !

Not that I have never have woken up with regretful thoughts :(

magpie said...

Sometimes that is why I stay up all the time :(

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Margy, I find that hard to believe about you! We got that memorial in the mail yesterday. Thanks so much!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

HELLO--TIGER STORY??? C'MON WANDA, SPILL THE BEANS!!

Mema Jo said...

The reasons I set up the new album
#1 So you could find the current one quickly
#2 Didn't know what order the 2010 would follow Bur it did fall in line just at the right spot!

You know my motto -
Plan ahead and do it at the last minute lol

magpie said...

If we continue adding pics at the same rate we are adding to the album....we will have over 400 pictures by the end of the Month !
Someone might have to check my math....

Mema Jo said...

Wanda is probably asking Capt Gene's permission to spill the beans!

All I know it that when I tell Capt Gene that Wanda is "bad", his reply
is "that's why I married her!"

Love those 2!

magpie said...

Speaking of which:


Eagle in Nest now, take more pictures !!

Mema Jo said...

Sooooooooo Beautiful

You taking pics ok Margy?

magpie said...

HOLY CHRISTMAS SEASON I SAY,

NICE EAGLE TURNING AROUND BACKWARDS !

magpie said...

Yes Mom, have four already, clicking away !

Mema Jo said...

That gal has good perifial vision!

Wish mine was that good but sure don't want to lose my head turning like that.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Magnificent!! Stupendous!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

and gone :(

Mema Jo said...

POOF Really fast Poof!

magpie said...

and it was a good thing,

Whew !!! What a visit !

magpie said...

but there is fine specimen at BWO

magpie said...

You're welcome Sharon...
Yeah, I have a lot of Dumb Moments in my past, might be why I am not a Nurse now, and live in an apartment !
No more on that though.....I have a terrific grandson and that salves all wounds ! ♥

AND a whole bunch of GREAT FRIENDS ON HERE !!

magpie said...

Yeah, the story about when Wanda met Gene in High School, is a very cute one...but that does not account for the Tiger story I don't think...

magpie said...

Once you mentioned Nuthatch this morning Sharon, it made me glad I put this avatar up ☺

magpie said...

okay I will up the picture total to 111 now, and then I have to peel celery. Fun...

hate that job !

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

No doubt, Magpie! I have one that goes up and down the tree to the suet thousand times a day. I love them!

Mema Jo said...

Remember the PJ Morning Club?
I must think I am still an active member - I am going to get some street clothes on!

BBILW

magpie said...

got enough pork and sauerkraut to feed son-in-law due for a visit to check ebay for James's birthday gifts on HIS COMPUTER ! He's looking for a drum set.

Bless his heart, he gave me his....little did he know what he was doing for me ♥ ☺
(James's Dad....)

Mema Jo said...

Whoops! Why are you peeling the celery?

The strings are meant to stick between your teeth!

magpie said...

Mema: I am going back INTO my pajamas!

magpie said...

I think we hear nuthatches at Maine too....and sometimes, Pix Pa...
I better go find the celery.

Back in a little stringy messy while. xoxox

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at BWO :)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yeah, celery strings are nature's dental floss!!

paula eagleholic said...

Was wondering where all the posts came from! Eagle visit!

magpie said...

Yeah, I have 28 teeth, that's how many spaces ??? I don't eat popcorn very often either !

I know all the nutrients are in the outer layer...but I have to make cheese salad sandwhiches for work party Wednesday....fun, having a party while 911 lines are ringing

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

So, I am wondering, did I mention that I just ate some celery? Cause I did!

paula eagleholic said...

So you got a new, handmedown computer, Margy?

magpie said...

Okay the pictures from the four minute visit are up...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I have dentures so I don't get celery strings between my teeth! :)

magpie said...

I love celery...really I do


Paula, no this computer is at least 8 years old, when son-in-law and stepdaughter split up, it went in storage...when I landed at this roost alone, it came out of storage ! It's a pretty good one...
Definitely works for me !

Hope your afternoon zips along...
okay, can't put celery off any longer...

TTFN xoxo

magpie said...

by the say, reason I didn't complete nursing school, was distracted by personal things, and was maybe too old to learn pharmacology! But I din't malpractice anyone ☺

magpie said...

by the say? what is that...
by the WAY !

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - Thanks Lynn's Christmas card pic. Don't you just love it? !!
Took my breath away when I opened it.

Mema Jo said...

The E_M Pics from the recent visit from Margy and also the am ones from Wanda really look good. I love doing
slide shows! Looks just like Live Video at times!

Mema Jo said...

Weather looks like it was accommodating Lynn's Luncheon!

I wish that the graveside ceremony for Ed Meyer could also have decent weather.

magpie said...

Jo, I was thinking all those very same things...Wanda's pictures are lovely from this morning, Lynn should be home free on the weather, and we need a weather miracle for Wednesday...

one knicked knuckle, a pile of cleaned celery, and one son-in law about to take over the computer

xox thanks Jo

Mema Jo said...

Found radio station with Christmas music 97.1

Love it...........I can type to music
It's fun to do.

Mema Jo said...

Out of here - some more to do!

paula eagleholic said...

OH, OK, Margy...thought you lucked out recently with a newer one!

Mema Jo said...

I've been looking for our eagles.
I can see some of Spidey's web.
I can also see a BLACK LINE across the
screen. Thanks goodness it disappeared with the last refresh......

No precipitation yet in the valley.

magpie said...

There you go Jo.....

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Poof! Got here barely in time!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Now I am getting in the shower!! BBIALW!!! Leave the night light on for me!

Mema Jo said...

I'm glad we saw them, Margy.
Maybe some other Momsters/Dadsters did also.

You have pics? Let me know - I have some.

magpie said...

I wish you didn't have to go out either, Sissy...
I'll say Just In Time !!


Hi Jo !

Well I got pics did you? I'm ready to play hide and seek and find them and post...

maybe, they are not done yet...

NatureNut said...

Good Afternoon Everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY!!!!

Been doing this and that & not accomplishing much~~DUH
Been looking down the hill to see if I can spot Buzzy. Haven't seen him, so don't know if that's good or bad. Can't go tromping thru others' back yards! Park said if I saw him, Greg K. would probably come up & catch him!!!!That would be a sight!

Mema Jo said...

Well Great! Sissy was right here with us.

I will put my pics up
Have about 7
When you find yours put them in

magpie said...

I got 4"51, 4:52 4:4, 4:55 and 4:56 - shall I put them up then I can delete any duplicates....

I ain't got nuthin' else going on right now..

Was it a 2-eagle 3-Momsters visit?

magpie said...

type slower!

451 452 454 455 and 456

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I missed them! :(

magpie said...

I DO NOT like the looks of those lines on the Cam !! :(

magpie said...

Loretta!

That would be loyal friendship service if Greg K would come for Buzzy ♥

magpie said...

but then the are gone...
the lines,
then they are back.

magpie said...

I'll wait Jo - - will do them a little later on ...

There go my 75 Canada Geese ♪ ♫

Mema Jo said...

Finished with the E_M album

Time for me to start dinner...

BBILW

paula eagleholic said...

Like your new avatar too, Sharon.

Mema Jo said...

Loretta - If Greg can get an Owl to HOOT HOOT - he should be able to catch
Buzzy! Do vultures make sounds?

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - pics are in the album for you!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I love my new avatar too! :) Thanks Lynn!

Mema Jo said...

Diego is playing with his footsies!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Thanks Mema Jo!

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though Pook got some snow.
Cam pic is from early morning with no visible moose or elk.

NatureNut said...

Dag nab it!I was on the 'puter & hadn't opened cam~~~~missed them!

I was just going to write Greg about Buzzy.He was not at work today. Worked on pics last night, but didn't send since didn't see him today. (He could be down in shrubs, tho,which may cause me to trespass!!)

Mema Jo said...

Must be the afternoon

Buck Bar

hedgie said...

Good evening, buds! This has been a very long day already and I am pooped!
Luncheon went very well. So much fun seeing folks that we rarely see.....but after working together for 25-30 yrs., it truly is ol' home day when we get together! Food was very good, and everyone seemed happy with the menu! Have one couple who was leaving to head home to Michigan this afternoon----afraid they are running right into the bad weather.
Have caught up on blog......you all had a good time today!
Wanda.....come on, give up the Tiger story!
Andy, hope you've warmed up by now! Brrrr....39 in SoCal?????
Mits, sure pray that everything works out for the kids. Big changes, but sound like good ones. So how does Maggie like public school???

NatureNut said...

Wow, look at those antlers.

Mema Jo said...

I bet the chat/forum participants on the PA Woods PIX and the CSN would go APE seeing these deets on USeeWildlife!

lol

Judie said...

Hi everyone,

Well, hope Raven is improved and Dex and Glo will be able to go out safely tomorrow and Lynn's luncheon was a fun one, and congratulations to Annie.

JO, I tip-toed in ever so quietly and turned the night light on extra early cause I was hoping we could catch Wanda and Tiger.

Everyone who has to go out tonight be extra careful. Weather for this area has changed to just rain -- no ice. Hope that's the truth.

All the best wishes and prayers for Granny Riffe.

Don't know Kendra but sending a prayer along for her also.

I really like celery but loaded up with peanut butter.

Okay, off to rest a few minutes before dinner.

magpie said...

I'm done with E-M too Jo, just two different ones from yours.


Hedgie: Great!

Sharon: Yeah, Neat Avatar...you are ready to give up Pat already ????

Got to go get therapeutic massage back quite a bit later....


Hope all our "Roosters" are home safe and sound soon, if not already, and that wellness, occurs, and swells..

TTFN xox ☺

Mema Jo said...

Sure are a whole lot of deets in them there woods......

I almost forgot about dinner...

BBILW

magpie said...

Oh Hello Judie, you are I are like two ships passing in the night.


Kendra, is the daughter to one of Sharon's niece's Beck's, co-workers...has cancer

She will add this probably herself also

hedgie said...

Skins have dismissed kicker Suisham-----not so sure that is a wise move.......but he DID mess up Sunday.
Tiger Woods' MIL released from hospital; had gone in w/ stomach pains. Never a life-support situation. HATE the way these rag sheets and scum outlets blow things SO out of proportion.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Judie...think that's Tiger and Gene....

magpie said...

going to ring Dana up when I get back...



Hey Judie, how about celery stuffed with cream cheese and olives ? Yum ~

Lynne2 said...

OK you guys are too much...drunk Amish! LMBO! The horse probably WAS going home, they always do!
Uh, Wanda....there is just a little bit of a naught side to you, isn't there? ;)
Well, it has been a whirlwind of a day. Had to leave Raven at the vet and go 30 miles to the Dr for my back injections and then go pick her up. The news is not good. Severe spondylosis and arthritis so bad that even her ribs have no flexibility...something her vet has never even seen before. She has gotten much worse in the last few months since her last x-ray. She has been on an NSAID for a long time.
She is unable to walk, and is sound asleep in blankets on the floor. The vet put her on 20mg of Pred 2x a day and Tramodol 3x a day and if she isn't able to walk within the next 48 hours, she will not walk again and then, well, she'll have to be euthanized. I wish I could say I was hopeful but I am not. Poor Steve is going to have his hands full tonight with me having just taken my first 2 doses of Prep for my colonoscopy in the morning and poor Raven who will be unable to get outside to potty. And he went to work with a sick stomach this morning on top of it all.
I am sad because I won't be able to sleep down here with her tonight (we usually carry her up at bedtime but think it's better for her not to be moved too much right now) because I have to be close to the bathroom.
I appreciate all the well wishes and prayers. I knew this was coming fast but not this fast. I had prayed that we would have her til Christmas.
My prayers are with you all, too, especially for Dana, Glo (stay safe tonight Glo), Judie, EVERYONE ONE OF YOU....catching up on the blog gave me a good laugh...you guys are great!!
Lynn I sure hope your luncheon went well.
OH, Tracey was still here and I showed her the nest and BOTH were in!!!
BBL

hedgie said...

Judie, the ONLY way I eat celery is with PB in it!!!!! But love celery seed in things....it's the fibrous part of the stalks that I don't like! How are you feeling tonight?

Margy, where do you go for your massage? Hope it's not up to Berkeley Spgs. tonight!!

Cool, Sharon, using my card face for your avatar! Glad everyone likes it.

Lynne2 said...

oh gosh forgive me for babbling again but I also wanted to mention that when we got back here, there was a goldfinch SOUND ASLEEP on the feeder hanging in the kitchen window! I was able to catch him...he's very thin, his breathing while he was sleeping was very labored, and probably won't make it...he could barely fly and he had flown off the feeder away from us and then was on the ground a few minutes later SOUND ASLEEP so easily caught.... but he is eating and all toasty warm in the cat carrier!

Another BOO---heard a little while ago, and now verified on news----my favorite soap, As The World Turns, is going to be cancelled come next Sept. Not fair!

Hi, Everyone!
I just finished my homework, so I'm ba-a-a-ck! How's it going? It's still mighty cold here for SoCal! It's only 55 right now--which feels really good to me! It's nice and sunny, but really crisp--just perfect!
Hope Shirley's having a good Birthday today!
Still praying for Judie to have some pain relief! Hope you're feeling better! Wish you could see the specialist right away, instead of having to wait!
Need to go back and catch up on the blog--will be back in just a bit!

hedgie said...

Lynne, so sorry that the news about Raven isn't better. When my oldest SharPei was near the end with leukemia (a very rapid decline after diagnosis), she couldn't get up, either. The saddest part was that her last couple of days she became so nasty and tried to bite us everytime we tried to do something for her. When we took her to the vet for the euthanasia, we just had to pick up the quilt and carry her that way. So sad....and feeling every minute of your pain. Too bad you have to mess with the colonoscopy now.
What do you think is wrong with the goldfinch?

I will be headed to Mass at 7:30 with hubby and I am thankful it is just calling now for rain. We will be very careful believe me - especially walking in to the church!

hedgie said...

Paula, A Charlie Brown Christmas is on tonight at 8 on ABC!

Story of coincidence:
Hair appointment - the receptionist setting up next appointment noticed my Tote bag and asked what the pic was. When I said it was my Bald headed eagles she replied : I have a pair in my back yard Now this was in Jefferson,MD and I thought Knoxville area had sightings but (and this is for you Paula) guess where Jessie lives
Mountain Dale Road off 15 North
The eagles are up near the Fishing Creek Reservoir. Small World and if I take a trip up I will surely let you know.

Lynne - Our 23 yr old feline - Tigress - is in about the same condition as your Raven. The other day trying to walk she was just slipping and sliding up the hallway. It won't be long but it sure is going to be a
heart breaker. She doesn't have any
known disease - just Age.

Just heard that Bryant Gumbel has lung cancer---had surgery two months ago. Wishing him well....and hoping that he will advocate for is....celebs seems to draw more attention to it.

hedgie said...

Oh my.....wave heights on the Great Lakes may reach 25 ft.---worse than in '75 when the Edmund Fitzgerald sank on Lake Superior.

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynne,
I'm SO sorry to hear about Raven! Praying for a miracle! (((HUGS)))

Judie, I like celery with peanut butter, too, but I also put raisins on top and call it ants on a log!
Also like to put celery seed in lots of dishes as a flavor enhancer.
Hear that celery/celery seed/celery root are a good way to lower your blood pressure!

Wanda, the new picture on my avatar is the main entrance to the Marriott Dalmahoy. Quite a place! Can't imagine how nice it must have been when it was a private residence! BTW--are you going to tell us how you got the name "Tiger"? You've really got me going! (Chuckle!)

Dana, if you're lurking, I've had you on my mind all day! Hope the weather's good for Ed's service tomorrow. ((((ANOTHER BIG HUG!))))
Darn, wish I weren't so far away!

Well, gotta go eat an early dinner and get ready to go to school. Will be back late tonight, after I get back home. Have a wonderful evening, everyone! TTFN! :o]

Mits said...

Jo if you listen to 97.1 Wash FM from 5:00.a.m. to 9:00a.m., you will hear the Loo and Lori show....that is our very own Lori

Mits said...

Lynn, Maggie seems to be adjusting well, only goes from 9 till 11, but has to go on the school bus.

hedgie said...

Judie----a guy from A'dale is on Jeopardy!

Sad pet situations on here tonight. They sure do capture major parts of our hearts and thus our lives. I am feeling so very grateful that the 9 to 12 inches of snow has changed to 4 to 6 inches. Still 40 mph winds by morning but I was so hating and worry how Dex and I would manage with a foot of snow. he is so low to the ground etc. I can find us a wind drifted down area in the mornign and we will manage. Going out to shovel a path for him tonight in about an hour or so. only maybe 3 inches out there right now. Just west of me is still going to get hit very bad. I am hoping power outages will not be an issue here now.

Good night all. Think I might try to ring a special someones phone.

A Charlie Brown Christmas is on again tonight!

Also, Rudolph is on again on Saturday night.

Remember when there were no VCR's and you had to watch it as it aired...or you missed it!

Nowadays it doesn't matter with TIVO and DVR's...and I guess VCR's too. I don't have a TIVO or DVR.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Lynn, I saw it too.

Mits - I thought Kev & Annie lived in AA county, not Howard. How does Maggie like the bus? Is she going to Headstart or a special program?

Lynne - (((Hugs))) for you and Steve. Hope the medicine helps Raven, or at least makes her a little more comfy.

Bryant Gumbel - lung cancer...hadn't heard that.

Tiger's women are up to 12.

Jo - I think I know right where you are talking about...might have to go for a drive one Sunday...you know, I have seen an eagle flying over 15 right around Mr Natural's/Lewistown area. Not to often...maybe twice, but thought maybe a traveler...now, maybe not!

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go prep for tomorrow night's dinner. Son John turns 28...cooking him fettucine shrimp alfredo. Going to take everything up to their house and cook it up there.

paula eagleholic said...

Also having salad, garlic bread and asparagus w/ hollandaise sauce...oh, and cake :)

hedgie said...

Happy early birthday to John, Paula!!

We are supposed to get just rain here, I think.

Raining at Pix Pa. Looks icy, too.
