Thank you Steve!
The eagles had an awesome fish in the nest this morning, think it was a Catfish!
I will go tell the others, have a good day ! ☺

Mits said...

thanks for the alert, Margy

magpie said...

Getting dark, Shirley there, at Finland. Started out sunny, got snowy, ended up peaceful like this.


I have about a dozen or so pictures on the album, shows one eagle, then two, then one annihilating breakfast, no sharing! then two, then one, then fish all gone and empty nest.


Have a good day everyone...

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Margy and Steve.

grannyblt said...

Thanks Margy for that link to The Rainbow Bridge. I have seen it before but this time it has a special meaning.

floralgirl said...

Pair of eagles in the nest at BWE.
Morning all:)

magpie said...

You're welcome, Lynne, I saved it when Lynne2 posted it...very beautiful.

floralgirl said...

Now just one at BWE.
Sorry about your dog, Lynne. Always so hard to lose a pet.

grannyblt said...

Now two at BWE

normabyrd said...

THANKS!--THANKS for the new WINTER thread STEVE & Thanks for the call over--WHOA---(that was ONE long blog)!!

magpie said...

Hi Megan, thanks for the BWE alert, I see two there now again

grannyblt said...

Better get busy with the day BBL

floralgirl said...

Turkeys at PIX PA

Lolly said...

Good morning! Thought I would say hello before going to read the paper. It's going to be another busy day. Laurel and the boys will be here after lunch. Laurel wants to go do some shopping and then tonight the Nutcracker! Just me and my little girl. lol

Anxious to see the boys. Have not seen them for two weeks!!!! That is terrible! Won't see them for long. Joseph will immediately ask to go see Macie, the little girl next door. Also, she has the new puppy, so they will be really anxious to get over there.

Supposed to get up to 70 today, but it is not sunny. Rain is coming and behind that an artic front. Chill factor in the 20's. That is good, we can have a fire Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Have a great day. Good luck today, Dana. Hope it goes much better.

Norma....I am so sorry you missed the game Sat. night. It was a GREAT game, too. Very exciting!

BBL

magpie said...

Hi Norma, see ya' Lynne,
and thanks Megan for the turkey alert, love to watch and hear them scratching...
would much rather watch turkeys than raccoons there.

glo said...

Copied over from old thread. Think I need more coffee but anyway

Hugs to Lynne in PA at the loss of Bobbi Sox. You loved her very much and cared for her so very well to even travel to a different town to help her cross the bridge when it was time. What a good mom and loving home Bobbi Sox found. You gave her a good life and I am sure she has left in your heart some awesome memories. Its still so hard so very very hard.

I have put all kinds of extra food outside for my birds and squirels but seems to have been found by a pair of crows. I know they have to eat too but golly I want the little ones to get their share. We have bad weather coming in tonight for several days. Might have to scoot them off in a litle bit and try to replenish. Hmmm

normabyrd said...

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Bob, I think pic #10 should be your new avatar!

paula eagleholic said...

And Merry Christmas to you too, Bob!

Bob Quinn said...

I like #1 the best.

floralgirl said...

Do the cats run when they see you coming with Christmas outfits?

normabyrd said...

MERRY CHRISTMAS BOB!---You are still #1 at this site!!!!

Mema Jo said...

If I go back to read this morning's comments I'll never get to say
Good Morning. So happy to see that our Royal Couple is eating at the nest.
BWE are about a week ahead of Lib & Belle with their habits!

Bob Quinn said...

The cats didn't run because this was a first. You can bet they will next time.

floralgirl said...

Yep, cats are smart, usually can't fool them twice. Run kitties, run!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning Bob! Love the JibJab you made! I am so glad you shared it with us! Some of the pics of the felines are
like they are so surprised you would do that to them! lol I know how special they are to you! We have been hoping you would chime in here again!
We miss hearing from you. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Mema Jo said...

Well the red cardinals have blessed me by 3 of them sitting in the nearest tree by our deck. Really beautiful!

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning all....

Lynne I am SO SO sorry to hear about you little Bobbie Sox. My heart goes out to you. It is hard to keep up the Christmas spirit when you loose a pet that is so dear.

On a lighter note...BOB!!! Great cat pics and love the Bob Elf!

Can you believe yet another bird (house wren this time) got onto the porch? No idea how! The door is closed and I can't see where they are getting in! I managed to shoo this one out on it's own.

paula eagleholic said...

EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST

paula eagleholic said...

POOF!

Eagle at BWO

floralgirl said...

My kid just showed me an interesting site. Birdjam.com-something you buy, but if you click on the learning link at top of page you can some play different bird songs. We heard a bird outisde and couldn't figure out what it was. Still guessing.

paula eagleholic said...

2 eagles at BWO


Looks like a corn husk/stalk at BWE

Mema Jo said...

Looks like 2 eagles at BWO
I can see the second ones feetsies

normabyrd said...

GUESSING 2 EAGLES at BWO! ho!

paula eagleholic said...

both at BWE..looks like munching

NatureNut said...

Good Morning Everyone! Never got back here 'til it was to late to post last night. Fell asleep watching Deadskins--Yawn! Did the new guy call that stupid fake field goal play at end of first half????He should go, too!
Added another pic to Xmas tree set! Hope it will explain more clearly that I had to put up a larger tree--Binky's orders!It was also an experiment to see if branches would go in the wrong place.
Got a couple things to wrap--for girls at work, if we have any tomorrow! Gotta get some groceries, too.

NatureNut said...

Bob, the pics are GREAT!
Happy Holidays ☺

NatureNut said...

Phooey, have camera open & missed them!

normabyrd said...

Every time I have looked in on the 'LITTLE PRINCE' in SDIEGO lately--he has been alone--today the little 'SQUIRT' is alone & sleeping! ho!

paula eagleholic said...

1 still eating at BWE

Mits said...

Paula, great eagle story, nice to see something like that on the blog:).......Bob, Merry Christmas, loved the cat pics and your dancing....Pandas at NZ are enjoying some frosty treats

Mema Jo said...

Kristen - Jenny visiting

BBL

normabyrd said...

The LOVELY BONES---is a good read!!---I read it when it was first published----would recommend it!

normabyrd said...

The reason I just recommend the book---They were interviewing one of the stars on THE VIEW!

hedgie said...

Morning all---nearly afternoon!
Granny Lyyne, so sorry about Bobbiesox. Hope The Rainbow Bridge brings you some comfort.
Margy, great captures of the fish feed!
Bob, you make a cute elf! Thanks for link to newsletter...I subscribed!
Paula, nice news item from Jersey. Did you see the flotsam in the marsh? Looked like what we saw in places at Patuxent. People are SO stupid. Congrats to those rescuers!
Loolym, forgot to say last night that I am sure glad to hear that Jack is doing so well!!

grannyblt said...

I loved that book too, Norma.

hedgie said...

Loretta, nope, new guy (if you mean gen. mgr. Allen) didn't call that stupid play---think it was that Sherm Lewis who replaced Greg whatever-his-name-7000 page playbook-guy! STUPID play for sure....but at that point, it didn't really matter anyway....duh!

paula eagleholic said...

Margy - was definitely a catfish in our nest this morning...great pics, thanks!

hedgie said...

Squirrels have found and eaten all the peanuts I threw out. Smart little critters decided they would rather park their tushes on the carpeted deck rather than the cold snow...so need to sweep of shells! Birds haven't eaten the bread yet.

Lisa said...

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop in and wish you all a happy and safe holiday season. I'll be heading to Florida on Wed. to spend the holiday with my folks, so I wanted to pass along my message today.

Have a great one!

NatureNut said...

No, Lynn. I didn't mean Allen---talking about the guy they brought in to call plays instead of Zorn---guess it's Sherm. They put up a list of W/L before & after Snyder. Way lower since he bought :>(

back to couple chores~~~

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' HEDGIE!!---I feel your pain!---The VIKINGS were BEATEN---'BIG TIME'---Sunday---

Lynne2 said...

Merry Christmas Lisa! Safe trip!

Mits said...

Lisa thanks for all you do at Blackwater, have a safe and wonderful trip to FLA, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

stronghunter said...

Have a nice trip, Lisa. We enjoy your site.

stronghunter said...

I think I am going to have to brave the crowds on the road and at the mall.

normabyrd said...

LISA!---Enjoy your visit to FL!---Just talked to daughter in FL--she says it's a wee bit cool now!-----But I wouldn't worry about that if I could go--- ho! ENJOY! ENJOY!

stronghunter said...

So what does a "wee bit cool" mean when you're talking about Florida, Norma? Sixty degrees?

hedgie said...

One blessing about all of this snow is that the dummies next door aren't leaving their dogs out all day and half the night. Amen.

floralgirl said...

Merry Christmas Lisa! Thanks for all you do at BW, it is much apreciated! have a great holiday in Florida.

hedgie said...

Have a safe trip and a very happy holiday, Lisa!

normabyrd said...

SHIRLEY---No---it was down close to 40s last night---she lives near Tampa!!---But think it is higher today---

stronghunter said...

That is a bit chilly for Florida.

normabyrd said...

Need to get garbage out today, etc--etc--etc!

paula eagleholic said...

Merry Christmas, Lisa! Safe travels!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, same here on the dogs. They have 2 dogs that they leave out 24/7...thank goodness for the snow, they are safe and warm inside.

new garb for ms. goose.

hedgie said...

Paula, I don't know why some people even have dogs! We have an effort going on to pass a county ordinance banning tethering in excess of 10 hrs., but I don't think it goes far enough. It doesn't address caging. One of these dogs is in a kennel cage and the other is on an overhead lead. THey have crates for doghouses...but never see the chained one get in hers---it looks too small. Can't see any buckets of water, either. It just makes me sick. And, of course, they bark every time I step out the front door. It was one of the reasons I put up the privacy fence, because I couldn't stand seeing it all the time.

hedgie said...

Out of sight isn't out of mind, but it makes it a little less obvious to me.

Birds have found the bread...jays and titmice and juncos!

Mits said...

cool, Shirley, Ms Goose has her Christmas outfit on.

stronghunter said...

Looks like Woody has a new scarf now, and the Hi Destiny sign has been removed.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,
Good Morning/Afternoon!
I've made it home from the Dr. appt., and found out I've lost 4 lbs. in the last 2 months! Have been trying to kinda watch it. Talked to my Dr. about Hubby's problem with the bone spurs on his feet, and she wants me to make an appt. for him with HER. She says that even though she gets terse e-mails from the 'bean counters', she will order as many tests as she has to, and schedule as many operations as necessary to 'fix up' her patients, and to heck with the gatekeepers! I knew there was a reason why I liked her! She just needs a 'heads-up' e-mail from me to remind her about Hubby's situation, and she'll go ahead and see him. If he likes her, maybe he'll decide to switch to her.

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynne,
I'm so very sorry about Bobbysox! It's the toughest thing we ever have to do as pet owners! (((HUGS))) for you! Prayers, too!
Hope the Rainbow Bridge story gives you some comfort. I totally believe that all our beloved pets go to heaven when they leave us. They'd have to--if heaven doesn't have them, I'm not so sure I want to go there! I'm really looking forward to seeing them again.

paula eagleholic said...

Nice to see Mrs Goose again...and a christmas tree to boot.

Mema Jo said...

The little Christmas tree on the snowman cam looks familiar - like
Loretta's little tree........

movin said...



***********************

GOOD MORNING,
EVERYBODY ! !

***********************

Still snowy and flooded back east, I see from the cams.

It won't top 60° in So Cal today and it's cloudy, but we are getting a little of the traditional Christmas spirit here anyway.

Merry Christmas!!

Mema Jo said...

Check out Diego if you can......

Mema Jo said...

What's he doing, Mema Jo?

Right now, ZZ is on cam, sleeping high in a tree.

floralgirl said...

Now just one in nest.

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Megan

Mits said...

thanks, Megan:)

Mema Jo said...

Do you think she is eating......

floralgirl said...

Sure thing:) might be looking for leftover fish in the nest. Hope Santa brings live feed...

Mits said...

maybe some leftovers from the catfish

Mits said...

really is digging her beak into the nest

Mema Jo said...

I'm glad she came up for air

Mema Jo said...

POOF

Mema Jo said...

WOW Look at the home page.
Pic of what we just saw moments ago.
They are surely a Majestic Couple.

Thanks Steve

Mema Jo said...

Breaking News Alert for MEGAN

Washington county schools closed
WEDNESDAY! Yeah!

floralgirl said...

Yep- saw it about an hour ago. just like that, 3 snow days gone.

Mits said...

how many do they get, Megan?

floralgirl said...

Eight days. Really a shame, cause the best week other than the week before summer vacation is the few days before winter break. Now they gotta figure out how to get their gifts to each other before Christmas.

Mits said...

that's right it is the most fun time...stupid snow:(

Mits said...

nasty looking horizontal lines on the cam

floralgirl said...

Eagle at Caltrans, eating something.

Mits said...

I took that one down, Megan, for some reason the quicktime was messing with the computer...don't know why, never had trouble with that site before

floralgirl said...

well, shoot, too bad...it's the only live action eagle I can find right now.

Mits said...

don't you have the Sidney or Hornby sites....the are live feed with sound, plus the ones out in Santa Cruz....???? Sidney is my very favorite

floralgirl said...

Yeah, but I didn't see an eagle in any of those nests, that's what I meant.

Mits said...

oh, ok, a couple of weeks ago they were in Sidney alot....will be back regularly soon I hope

floralgirl said...

Yeah, me too, last week I saw tham a lot. I really like the Sidney nest view.

Mits said...

I love all the birds sounds there too, wish I knew what was making them

stronghunter said...

Bumpy ride over those snow-packed roads in the neighborhood. Made it to the mall for some shopping.

Car that seemed to be full of kids wanted to ride my back bumper through the neighborhood on those icy roads. I had to pull over and wave them by. No sense at all.

floralgirl said...

Yes, the sound is great. It always sounds like there are lots of birds around the nest area.

Mits said...

shame they don't know the danger Shirley

Mits said...

I knew soon as I left the room they would be back

paula eagleholic said...

Eagles everywhere...

BWE and our nest!

Mits said...

eagle

Mits said...

poof

floralgirl said...

Well that was a quick visit!

Mits said...

just 1 left at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like they had a bird at BWE

Mits said...

poof there too

paula eagleholic said...

Or that's more corn husks or mild pods....will have to wait until daylight to really tell.

Mema Jo said...

I missed our visit but I think it was just to turn on the night light.

Mema Jo said...

Time here for dinner
Then it cake baking time

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am back from my EGD. Nothing is ever as simple as I think it will be. Had a bazillion polyps removed from my stomach, lot of pain when I woke up, but I am better now. Sleeping alot from the anesthetic. See you wonderful people after while!!

Mits said...

fell better, Sissy:)

paula eagleholic said...

Take Care, Sissy.

Catch ya'll later...

magpie said...

Hi Evening Eagle Pals.
I think our Eagle brought in a little angel hair straw on that last visit, I got one quick picture.
Jo, your afternoon pictures are great! Did you send Steve the one that he posted on the Still Cam Home Page? Great picture.

Sissy you're probably snoozing now, but I sure hope you feel better soon.


Paula Love your sparkly candy cane.

Lolly.... Enjoy
Hope that all things continue to go well with Jack.
Tonight you will dream of Sugar Plum Fairies.
xo

magpie said...

Hope everyone else is doing well or at least okay in all our Eagle Corners
I had the pleasure of seeing Wanda and Gene at the post office, could show off my beautiful Eagle Scarf.

Hope to hear how Dana's day went, soon.

floralgirl said...

Hope you feel better, Sissy:)
I think Jo said she is making us a cake...

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for touching base with us Sissy - so glad you felt up to it! Rest & recover!

Mema Jo said...

Margy - Steve was ahead of me - I think I started snapping pics a minute or two after him. Didn't see the pic on home page until later and so I put it in our album. Steve had to capture that one on his own.

Mema Jo said...

You're right Megan
Back to baking a cake........

Mits said...

I'm making chocolate chip cookies, have not done it for a long time....

magpie said...

Martinsburg is within throwing distance of both Mits's and Jo's Roosts, just thought I would remind you. Since you're baking.

magpie said...

I like your new
" bird frenzy " pictures Megan and had another good look at all the other pictures you put up.
Wow!

floralgirl said...

I have freshly baked gingerbread and sugar cookies... I have a snowman picture to post as soon as I figure out where I put the camera.

Mema Jo said...

I can smell the ginger - opps! must be my pumpkin cake that has the ginger!..

hedgie said...

Good evening all y'all. ALL cleaning chores are done. Wrapping is almost finished. Next two days will be for baking, and freshening up tablecloths and china and silverware.
My poor Chris woke up with a bad cold this morning. She was supposed to come tomorrow to help with making Grams' cinnamon rolls. Told her I didn't want her (ha,ha---you know what I mean!) 'cause I sure can't be around her fresh germs!

magpie said...

I just know all these Momsters' houses smell like heaven!

Hope Christie kicks the bug pronto, Lynn.
She's too pretty to be sick! ☺

Going to try to do a little decorating here.

xo Good Evening Everyone....

hedgie said...

Listening to Christmas, have candles burning....very mellow and lovely. Seriously thinking about getting to the tub soon, tho', and easing this body a bit.

hedgie said...

Sissy, didn't realize until I read your post what Shar was talking about last night. SO glad you've got that behind you. Didn't know that you were having troubles. Hope you get that anesthesia out of your system and wake up feeling super fine in the morning. Glad that you have your little sis there with you. I'm sure Tom makes an excellent nurse, but bet Shar cooks better!

hedgie said...

Have been hearing strange noises this afternoon/evening. Just finally pinpointed what it is----chunks of ice falling down the downspouts!! Spooky!

magpie said...

Oh yes, Lynn, there are some lethal icicles out and about....

I have Banjo Christmas ♪ ♫ playing, wish I could share it with any Blue Grass Fans out there....
Norma, for example ☺

paula eagleholic said...

That is a nice pic on the front page!

Been spending the last 2 hours talking with Michael, he is finally home for Christmas. Been making the grocery list, gotta hit the store tomorrow night...list keeps growing!

Costume Lady said...

I SMELL SOMETHING COOKING! Gingerbread? Cinnamon rolls, cookies? NOPE, it's my iced tea water. I put the water on to boil and laid down for a moment to rest my bones and fell asleep. Water evaporated and pot was white from trying to cook itself!:)
Thats why I don't bake...everything would burn to a crisp. I get distracted so easily.

Mema Jo said...

Well you know they say that a watched pot never boils! lol

hedgie said...

Wanda, they used to say that boiling a tea kettle dry was a big cause of house fires....Margy, is that still true?? Never hear it anymore! So...BE CAREFUL!! Guess you better let Sara Lee do your baking! And GG's, too, LOL!

Judie, are you lurking? Hope you got rested and feel better today. When do you see the doctor again?

magpie said...

just everyone please make sure your smoke detector batteries are in and good....

burning candles left unattended, BIG Cause of fires these days.

You should see how I burn them, in a container in a container in a container...

Yay Paula....sounds good, Michael, and grocery shopping, well, the son part especially sounds good.

Oh, Wanda, so sorry, but GLAD YOU ARE OKAY!

dinner's cooked, going to do that before trying to decorate

Mits said...

wow Wanda, glad it did not set a fire...please be careful...

Costume Lady said...

I did do something right today...went shopping and got all my Christmas shopping done! I buy GG and Gene a gift and the rest of the family money cards to buy whatever they wish. Can't figure out what to get them anymore.
Ran into Margy at the Post Office and snapped a photo of her in her pretty Eagle Scarf.
Got to GG's house, and there she was, shoveling snow again!
Photos of both those two ladies on my JUST FOR FUN.
A neighbor came to GG's while we were there and used a snowblower and cleared out the driveway. THANK GOODNESS!

Mits said...

loved the pics, Wanda

Judie said...

Hi everyone,

Lynne, I am so very, very sad about Bobbisox. You provided a good life and I hope you will find comfort in that.

No, not lurking. I decided to try to catch up on laundry and bake cookies today. Also bake for the mailman and hair stylist. Having a difficult time with the swelling of the right leg/foot. Still can't get a shoe on. Anyway, back to Walter Reed on Tuesday, 29th. So I'll just lurch along as best I can.

Decided not to do a big deal for Christmas dinner for two. Cornish hens with a little extra. That should do it.

Now going to put the leg/foot up to try to force some fluid away from the foot. Isn't this exciting, everyone? Am I having a good time yet? Hmmm, I don't think so.

Good night all. Turning my light off. Night light is on for others.

Sugar plum dreams for everyone.

Mema Jo said...

Judie - you are so on my mind and in
my prayers.

I called Robert and ask if he needed to do any shopping and he said Yes!
Goody Goody Two Shoes - I get to go to
the toy store for Alexis! It's all Barbie and Princess items. I'll find a
good book with a good moral lesson!

magpie said...

Judie, thanks for checking in, it means a lot to us.
Cornish hens, yum, one of my favorite things!
Keep that foot and leg elevated and I hope you get some relief, Pronto !

Mema Jo said...

Shirley -------- are you wrapping presents now that you have been to the Mall?

hedgie said...

Finally heard from Debs' sister, Dianne.

Lynn: I finally got my email working at home this morning. While I was gone to SD somehow it all got mixed up, so new lines installed at the house and I am up and running. I want to thank you for all of the kind words and actions by all of you in regards to my wonderful sister Deb. She is greatly missed and this is going to take a long time............. Amanda and I are returning to Vermillion in January to do some more work. This was all crazy but what is comforting to know is that she had all of you corresponding with her often. My older sister Pam has taken Deb's photos from the year and created a calendar which I am sure is fabulous. Again thanks for everything and if you would like to call that is fine also. Regards, Dianne

magpie said...

Sounds fun, Jo...
bet Robert is tickled, will he go with you, or deputize you ?

magpie said...

tea lights in muffin pans, puts out a lot of light, and is pretty safe.

Or I guess you could use the muffin pans to bake something !

magpie said...

intersting story in the local rag Monday, man sentenced to probation and restitution for illegally transporting wildlife from WV into VA, from Hampshire County, Norma's home county!
He was transporting 108 wood turtles, six snapping turtles and four box turtles...does not state the fate of the reptiles, so wonder, who is paying restitution to? Maybe court costs.
He was trying to get to his business in Florida, "Russian Reptiles," to sell them.

magpie said...

Lynn, thank you! for all the work you did on the Memorial Tribute, and for sharing this with us now.
(( Group Hug ))

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, so glad you heard from Deb's sister. I, too, was beginning to feel that we were being ignored. Glad she realizes how much we all loved Deb. Maybe we will get a chance to own one of the calendars that is being made...it will surelyu be beautiful!

Mits said...

Judie, take care...Lynn thanks for the update...

Costume Lady said...

Hope the TURTLENAPPER didn't get SNAPPY OR MYRTLE;)

Costume Lady said...

JUDIE...I would make a large wager that YOU are doing too much. Lady, you just had surgery! Let Darth bake or better yet, buy some cookies!

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - great to to know you heard from Dianne. The calendar should be beautiful. I wonder who is making it up?
I had donated to BOP - Janie's group.
Today on my bank statement I see the
check has been cashed.


Yep, Margy I will go with Robert! I can't do Toys R Us by myself! lol

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - Snappy could have taken care of him!

Costume Lady said...

Spoke with Lolly a few hours ago and she and Laurel were getting ready to go to see the NUTCRACKER
(after Jack grilled them some steaks) She sounded so excited to have her daughter and grandsons for an overnighter:)
She has the most charming accent...love to hear her:)

Costume Lady said...

Yep, Snappy could have taken a finger or two off! LOL
You have to be a Momster to know how to handle Snappy;)

magpie said...

Right on, Wanda.
I'd love to have seen the police officer's face when he discovered the cargo.

Golly, Deb's photos could fill one of those picture a day for 365 days, calendars, easily!

magpie said...

That is the one Christmas card I dearly wish I could have sent this year, to Vermillion, South Dakota

magpie said...

It is comforting to think that Pam and Dianne can feel the love we have for Deb

magpie said...

Sounds fun, Jo, wear comfortable shoes !!!

magpie said...

Lynn, did you see the successful search at Sleepy Creek Wildlife for the adult man and his adult son who were missing for hours Saturday night?
Wish they had named the Hedgesville Fire Department members who assisted...

stronghunter said...

Lynn, so good that you heard from Deb's sister. I am sure they have been overwhelmed, especially considering the suddenness of her death. You and others did such beautiful things for them.

I haven't wrapped anything yet. Trying to find some scissors. I know they are around here somewhere. I have a plastic container with wrapping paper, and I hoped there would be scissors in there, but no.

I have lots of pairs of scissors in my classroom, but I'm not going to go to Culpeper for a pair of scissors!

I usually have trouble finding tape, but I have two rolls. When Will was a kid, I usually found the tape in the front yard. Usually not in very good shape. I've bought lots of tape over the years. I will get to wrapping tomorrow.

Wanda, I will resort to some cash or gift cards, too. Just too hard to know what they want. Susan has asked for money because she wants an expensive coat--more expensive than I can buy, so she just wants help. She also appreciates help with school books. The guys want computer stuff, and I never know what to buy for Tom.

Cornish hens sound wonderful, Judie. Just take it easy so you can get better.

As soon as I get my bed put back together, I'm going to get in it. Good night all.

I ain't messing with any snapping turtles, momster or not!!!

Susan once rescued a large one from the middle of the road. Scared me to death when she told me about it. She grabbed it and dragged it out of the road.

Yep, saw both of those articles, Margy. The rescue operations sounded more grueling on the scanner than what they put in the paper. What a horrible ordeal. There was also a mountainside rescue in Jefferson Co. the same evening of a 98 y.o. lady who had fallen down the ridge, or something.

That guy better not have gotten my Myrtle!! Wonder what his business does with them? Probably some kind of soup-hide-body part and hocus-pocus stuff. YUCK! Sure hope that the creatures will be returned to their natural habitats.

Judie, Cornish hens are a favorite here, too! Just stay off your feet as much as possible. Remember, elevate higher than your heart.

Angel dreams for you, too, Margy.

Funny how the snow didn't build up on the pool cover at Denise's.

hedgie said...

Okay....going to tub, finally. BBL!

LOL Margy, bet that officer did have a look on his face!

I remember Snappy...:)

Jo, glad you get to go shopping for girl stuff...my time is coming soon!

Lynn - so glad you heard back from Dianne. I imagine it has been really hard on them. Thanks for doing the compilation of all of our thoughts about Deb and sending them on to her.

I have been trying to unearth the kitchen table so we can eat Rib Roast on it for Christmas dinner...finally seeing some wood!

One more thing--speaking of finding stuff in the yard. When Kathryn was in elementary school-- third grade, as I recall--she had a very stern teacher.

One day I got a phone call informing me that Kathryn was at school without her glasses and I was to deliver them forthwith. Period.

I found them in the back yard under the deck. I do not know how I knew that was where they would be. I loaded the twins in the car and delivered the glasses to the school. You did not argue with Mrs. Savage.

Mrs. Savage once told Kathryn that you did not know the alphabet properly unless you could say it backwards, and instructed her to do just that. Kathryn told me that there was an alphabet over the board behind Mrs. Savage, and so she had no problem complying. I do not encourage my children to cheat, but . . . (Actually, Mrs. Savage was a highly respected teacher. Just had her ways.)

Now, if I can just find those scissors . . .

How many of you can recite the alphabet backwards?

Will have to check out the Snappy pic.

magpie said...

That's quite a name for a teacher Shirley ! ROFLMBO

Paula, I threw a whole bunch of stuff off the kitchen table into a transfile box last week just before James's birthday party!
know the feeling well !

paula eagleholic said...

I agree, Judie, buy the cookies! I did that one year when I didn't have time to bake and used to give cookies as gifts...have given that up now...but will get some done next week, cause I want some and Michael is here to help me eat them!
