Looks like I hit the 400, so there must be a SPLIT! Just read back a little, & so sorry Lynne, for your scary ordeal! Go outside and scream some more if you want~~~~we have that painting at work "A scream a day keeps the shrink away!" See others got Jo's mystery EM, too! Gotta go work on food~~~~
...in your spare time, eh Megan? I would love to learn how to also, that way I could actually help you on something
Lynne - yes I sure did....was not very flattering to the profession...lives really are at stake... I'm lucky, no real serious boo-boos yet, I can sometimes decipher garbled caller's language, helps that I have been around here all my life and the GPS coordinates on cell phones helps too, plus my memory of older calls, callers and places
I have to put a roast in the oven or something, got a good deal at grocery store today, just never cooked a large pork roast, will feed me for the week-end Later, pals.
Have I told you all that I feel like I have been run over by TRAIN? My throat is pretty sore and my voice sucks but I HAD A BLAST! I just sent some pics out through eaglet momsters for those of you who aren't on facebook!
No I had no idea such window to the world were out here...I had only watched on birdhouse cam for 2 years which I will still watch, but all of this is WOW!!! I know that article wasn't terribly flattering to the profession and those were pretty extreme cases, and hopefully pretty rare. I like that Loretta, a SCREAM a day keeps the shrink away! I am fortunate that don't have too many of these kinds of days!
A nonsense poem... Christopher Isherwood's poem ...
The common cormorant or shag Lays eggs inside a paper bag The reason you will see no doubt It is to keep the lightning out But what these unobservant birds Have never noticed is that herds Of wandering bears may come with buns And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.
Awwwwwww...Lynne, I was so proud of you and you cheated!!! roflmbo
HO HO! Like you have time to knit those little mittens! I love them and that wreath went to my Hedgesvillle ggkids. The four little ones think they are very unique and so does Melissa! Not sure they want her to hang it outside-right now it is in the center of the large table!
Lynne - the truck incident will hopefully keep someone else from being run over as I hope the driver will never do it again. You have had a memorial day! Not wanting to experience any more real soon like it!
Sharon sounds like it was an awesome night. Jo at first I thought it was me until Megan and Sharon asked if it was in secret code. LOL An with all that I missed them. Lynne that had to be scary.
Grandson Robert, Alexis dad, will have his gallbladder surgery on the 17th. Go in at 1:00, surgery at 3:00 for about 1 1/2 hours and then recovery and GO HOME!? Any one remember if Tom went home the same day? And Hedgie what side did you tell Tom to lie on with leg up towards body for comfort?
Oh Jim - I know you really thought it was Friday - I bet you even had your red shirt on. You made me take a second look at my Daily Pill Box to be sure it was only Thurs..... lol
I remember that Tom was uncomfortable for a few days... Can you remember how soon he returned to work. I can remember thinking it was too early after surgery but......
Oh, man it feels really cold. It is 40, but with the wind it is COLD. We got the lights put on the fence and the house. Now we have the trees left to do. Maybe tomorrow. Also have the Santa to put out and the lighted presents.
Think we we also put up the tree tonight, but the lights for it are still in the attic. Drat! I want to get this decorating done!
He took that shirt off and put on a superman shirt and then put that one back on! I would have taken it for sure! Mattie said he smelled sweaty and I said - ahhhh! :)
LOL....we are all confused, aren't we? Weird numbers of posts, no new thread, secret code emails, afternoon turned into morning, etc. Argh! I have been messed up all week-----just seemed like Mon. should have been the 1st, and I've been downhill ever since! Loretta.....waiting for report on your dinner! Margy, I've got yams and kraut to go with the pork roast! Lynne, SO glad you told that guy and his truck off! Thank the good lord that you and the dogs weren't hurt.
I'm finishing up Christmas cards now, Lolly. Time to break for Jeopardy, and yep, 2 hrs. of Private Practice tonight. Have retirees breakfast tomorrow, but after that I MUST give the leaves a go for the last time---thank goodness, it's just spot touch-up in about 4 places. Weekend will be spent getting the decorating finished. Have decided that I am only going to bake one kind of cookie this year---PB, of course! Not worth the effort to do others---U don't need them, and really no one else does, either! Christie will do the Spritz---I can't mix that stiff batter anymore. And that will be plenty!
Tomorrow is Laurel's 37th birthday. My baby! We are going up middle of the afternoon, picking up Jacob at school, and taking the family out to eat. Hopefully Michael and family can join us. Eating Mexican food! Party back at the house afterwards. Taking up a cherry cheesecake...her choice. Then we are going back up to babysit Saturday evening. The other Grandma has something...she could not babysit. Not a good thing to be running up there two days in a row. So, not much decorating the next few days.
Jo, asking about position of comfort for abdominal pain: lay on right side w/ right leg stretched out straight and left leg bent up as close to chest as possible. Gall bladder surgery (cholecystectomy) done laparoscopically typically has a 2 week recovery period. DID YOU KNOW: that the government and insurance industry determines: *what surgeries and testing MUST be done outpatient *how many days of hospitilization allowed based on diagnoses w/ or w/o complications and *how many days are allowed off work, again based on diagnoses/complications???????????? TRUE!!
I had to completely remove my old quicktime before I could download the new version, Margy....but my computer does not like that cam, it is always hanging up, when I go there.
I should have asked more cooking questions before I started this.
by the time I was old enough to pay attention to what my Mother was doing in the kitchen, she wasn't doing much of it anymore. Learned a few good things, but not enough :(
Back to say that the Bacon Pasta was quite tasty. Had some problems w/that many noodles after they cooked! Found Frank's Mother's huge Wearever soup pot that will hold mass quantities! It may be almost as old as him! LOL Think next time, I'll make 1/2 the recipe. May freeze some if we don't finish it. Back to kitchen clean up ☺
I smelled sauerkraut cooking, so I thought I'd pop in and see who was cooking it. Margy, when we have kraut, we cook it in the slow cooker all day and night and Gene puts a can of chicken broth in it if the roast isn't flavorful enough. I put a little brown sugar in mine. So many ways to prepare and season it. Yummy with hot dogs cooked in with it about an hour.
I'm still signing cards. Envelopes are stamped and addressed.....
Just turned off the outside Christmas lights. No traffic in front of our home but hope the neighbors enjoy them. Next door put their outside candy canes along their walkway.
Speaking of Bacon Pasta, a good while ago, I discovered MINI PENNE. It's about half to one third the size of regular Penne. I like small pasta, not quite so doughy. I use mini bow ties, mini elbows and I love angle hair. Loretta, I cut the receipe in half and there was just enough for me and Gene and some left over for GG. No leftovers:(
crazy blog numbers! OR....perhaps we are all blogging in a parallel universe together and somehow the numbers are just all adding up HERE....oooOOOOoooo scary! I appear to be in the minority, or maybe all alone on the sauerkraut because I just really can't deal with it. Going to bed, sweet dreams and prayers for all!
Good Night Lynne - (( hugs and prayers )) well sauerkraut is not for everyone, sure you probably have lots of company on your side
Right Wanda, nearly burnt and crispy, the hot dogs.
I hope this thing turns out okay, turned out to be more work than I have the energy for now, but should give me meals for next work shift. everything you all described sounds really good to me, especially if you are cooking it !
Oh, yes...I had forgotten that Gene fixed New Yorkers for the 4th picnic. We forgot to marinate the ribs and they were a little tough, felt bad about that:(
Margy, cut the squash in half...scoop the seeds out...put in dish...add a little water...cook for 4 to 10 minutes (depending on the size of your squash) Season however you like.
Jo, no hair cut---this was dye job. It'd just ok---she was out of my color and tried mixing---too dark to suit me; so she just frosted it more than normal. Guess I can live with it.
Guess everyone is gone....so I will say goodnight, one and all. See you sometime tomorrow---early outing for breakfast. Peace and prayers.
Yes, I used Mini Penne for thye bacon pasta and everything else in recipe, except got canned sliced mushrooms. Was talking about it at work yesterday before I went to store, & my crazy bud said "how about mini-pin"?!! then we cracked up about little hyper dogs! LOL
News time! If I don't get back, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
Oh, Loweeda!! What are we going to do with you? Fresh mushrooms!!!!So much better! lol You can buy them already sliced. Easy!
I am with Lynne and Sharon on sauerkraut. I LOVE food, I LOVE eating. I eat just about everything, I am not picky BUT I do not care for sauerkraut.
Watched Private Practice, boy what a script! Gets more and more complicated.
Okay, going to call it a night. Snow predicted for in the morning. However, it is apparently going mostly south of us. Crazy, huh? Loweeda, your daughter may be getting snow in the morning.
Hi, Everyone, I'm actually home from school a little earlier than usual! Guess the teacher took pity on us because we had THREE (yup, count 'em!), that's right, THREE exams tonight! One on transcription, one on terminology, and one on formatting! Did some homework too, before coming home, in order to get a little bit ahead of the game. But oh boy, am I fried at this point!!! Think I did pretty well on the tests. Thanks SO much for the prayers! They're all that keep me going sometimes!
Will try to answer a couple of questions from the earlier blog. Lynne, I'm glad you like the new avatar! Don't know what kind of flowers they are, though. The pic was taken last summer on our vacation in Scotland. It's one of the flower beds at the Marriott Dalmahoy about 7 miles from Edinburgh. Believe me, it's like heaven on earth! Over 1,000 wooded acres, and an old estate converted to a hotel and country club, with a golf course (although I don't play golf). Every flower bed is color-coordinated, and just gorgeous! Wah!!! I wanna go back there!!!!! It is without a doubt, my FAVORITE place on this earth!
Welcome Home Andrea. I was on the roost but came back over for a minute... Hope your sleep is restorative, and that all your tests went well. Don't read back on the blog too much, you might get hungry. Tomorrow is today over here already, and it will be RED FRIDAY where you are, pretty soon. xo Good Night...☺
Yeah, right, Margy! I'm absolutely drooling all over myself! Just LOOK at your avatar!! And I can SMELL your pork roast with sauerkraut! It's kind of a family tradition to serve that with mashed potatoes on New Year's Day--and it's one of my absolute favorites! That bacon pasta sounds SO good too, so may make some this weekend! Yummy yum! Lynne, I read back a bit on the blog, and now I'm giving prayers of thanksgiving that you and the dogs are OK!!! Whew, that was close! Don't know what gets into people sometimes. God must've sent a legion of angels to save you! Say, no Judie today! She must be buried in papers to grade! TGIF back east already! Judie's desperate for the weekend, I'll bet. Good to see you here, Shirley! Don't blame you for hitting the hay, though. If I weren't so hungry now, I probably would too! Had to eat an early dinner to get to school by 5:00, and now I'm ravenous enough to eat cardboard! Hope our refrig has something better than that waiting for me!
Have a good rest, Margy, Lolly, and everyone else; prayers being said for everyone and many situations. Pray that Judie gets a wonderful night's sleep, too--bet she needs it! Sleep snugly and warmly, everybody, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. No school on Friday! Yippee!! Maybe I can do some Christmas decorations! The night light is burning brightly over the nest (The moon is huge and bright out here in the west, too!), the porch light is on, and the eye scanner is ready to go. G'night, everyone, and God bless!! Love all you guys! :o]
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---I can't find the beginning or the end of this blog--ho!---I have learned not to trust the numbers! But MARGY---I did bookmark the B SPRINGS store---That's a cool ARTSY place to shop!!
MORNIN' & CONGRATS!! SISSY!!---You are our #1 EAGLE MOM!---today & everyday!---#1 question!!---How are you gonna keep BLUEFIELD SHARON--TC & MATTIE down on the 'farm'----after they have seen the CHOO CHOO???----ho!!---Are you folks going to the FOOTBALL play-off in Wheeling??-
We aren't going to get to go this year, Tom has to work tomorrow. I am bummed out about it too. I hate to miss it, but IT IS WHAT IT IS!! I think we are almost recovered from the concert. It was too much fun for sure. I think Sharon is ruined for life, don't think she will ever recover from the experience!!!
MORNIN' SISSY!---Yesterday was WINDY & SNOW predicted for Saturday!!---It's Fri--have my RED JAMMIES on--I love KRAUT!!---When I was preg--(many moons ago)---I would open a can of KRAUT & eat it before I could get it cooked!!--Bill---used to scream everytime I brought home more than 1 can of kraut!!---(good times)---MARGY--must have KRAUT w/pork!!
SISSY!---so funny---but I bet our BLUEFIELD SHARON will need a while to get over being hit by --- THE TRAIN!!---I'm not too old to 'dream' either!!---BRETT FAVRE is on my frig---right beside 'TAI'---ho!
Norma...must have mashed potatoes with Kraut, too:) Have you ever had a New Yorker? We put a hot dog in a bun and put kraut and pieces of pork on top. Ummmm!
SISSY--It probably is just as well you folks haven't planned to go to Wheeling---NPR news---keeps predicating SNOW!!!---REMEMBER--WVU plays tomorrow at 12:00!--last game!!
Watching those pretty Eagles now Eagle at our nest.
Trying to reconcile checkbook. Woof, finding errors not in my favor.
I like mashed any kind of potatoes Norma.
Also Norma, you must check out the cormorant pictures Lisa posted on the BWO site yesterday, check the left hand column on that page and click on photos !
Went to turn coffee pot on and now we have an empty nest. She did a little work...a lot left to be done. As I recall, last year, the first egg was laid January 30, a little earlier than the year before. It seems a lot of eagles laid their eggs early last season. Two months to finish their nestorations. Wish we had live feed and SOUND. Remember those days? It seem so long ago:(
MORNIN' MARGY!---figuring out my check book is waaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom of my list of favorite things to do!!----did you note--I bookmarked your B-SPRINGS site!!!
Yes, Norma, I NOTICED! That store is really cool....in person, and on-line ! Wish I didn't find these errors in my checkbook, I am usually really really careful. bad time of the year to "lose" money :(
Well that was a nice visit and beautiufl way to start my day. since I am up so early I think I will go make a cup of tea. Its very cold here this morning. First morning this winter for a doggie sweater.
I think I mentioned before that I worked at a local bank (was called Citizens Nationl Bank at the tim), it is now consolidated with OLD NANTIONAL...anyway, balancing checkbooks was one of my jobs. Loved doing that...it was a challenge for me. I hated to tell a customer that I found THEIR mistake and they have less money than they thought:(
The Finney nest is one of the most beautiufl online I think. Well tea was good. Now off to coffee and dog treats. Got to get these eyes opened and focusing ya never know if you might get some secret message which requires the very best of vision. Have a good day folks.
MORNIN' GLO!---WHOA!---I think you may be hittin' that caffeine a wee bit too hard!---You will be going too fast for DEX to keep up!---ho!----I should talk--I'm not dressed yet!!
Norma, I have never used a Kindle Reader, but I have a friend who likes it. Most of my recreational reading now is done on CD while I am commuting to and from work.
Good Morning, Everyone! It's a beautiful Friday! TGIF!! Yippee--no school today for me! Hope I can get the Christmas tree up, or at least started! Gotta get in the mood for Christmas. How is everybody this morning? I'm going to wear my red Spongebob t-shirt today. Sierra, our GGD, just LOVES Spongebob! Makes me feel closer to her. (sigh)
One of my 11th graders just turned in his assignment by placing a laptop computer in my in-box.
I had allowed him to do his art work for a project on the laptop. I told him that he would need to transfer the information to a flash drive and print the work at home to turn it in. He does not have his flash drive, so he just stuck an open laptop in the in-box. (A school computer.) Funny kid.
I have called the library. They may be able to help him print the work. Maybe I should not be praying for patience. Maybe I already have too much. Maybe I just need to be meaner!! Thing is, I do like this kid, but . . .

Just read back a little, & so sorry Lynne, for your scary ordeal!
Go outside and scream some more if you want~~~~we have that painting at work "A scream a day keeps the shrink away!"
See others got Jo's mystery EM, too!
Gotta go work on food~~~~
The White House Tree will soon be lit!!!
...in your spare time, eh Megan?
I would love to learn how to also, that way I could actually help you on something
Lynne - yes I sure did....was not very flattering to the profession...lives really are at stake...
I'm lucky, no real serious boo-boos yet, I can sometimes decipher garbled caller's language, helps that I have been around here all my life

Lynne -
Picture yourself a year ago...were you watching all these different cams ?
Contagious isn't it ??
hummers preening big time, but the cam is slowing down the computer bye bye hummers for now
I have to put a roast in the oven or something, got a good deal at grocery store today, just never cooked a large pork roast, will feed me for the week-end
Later, pals.
Have I told you all that I feel like I have been run over by TRAIN? My throat is pretty sore and my voice sucks but I HAD A BLAST! I just sent some pics out through eaglet momsters for those of you who aren't on facebook!
Loretta!
Did you see the Cormorant pictures from earlier visit to BWO today?
You will love it !
Sharon, you will be sw♥♥ning for months, that's swooning
Going to check that now, since I don't have Facebook
No I had no idea such window to the world were out here...I had only watched on birdhouse cam for 2 years which I will still watch, but all of this is WOW!!!
I know that article wasn't terribly flattering to the profession and those were pretty extreme cases, and hopefully pretty rare.
I like that Loretta, a SCREAM a day keeps the shrink away! I am fortunate that don't have too many of these kinds of days!
Well, I have rambled on enough...hope Andrea does well on her tests and that Lynn's hair turned out beautiful! See you after dinner!
you have a free pass for rambling today Lynne!

Well, I am watching my bird food thief as we speak - a 6-point buck right here - just tilts the bird feeder and empties it out! That is so cool!
Jack has it memorized as well as many more. I know a lot of them myself, but not as well.
Yes, that is very cool, Sharon.
HO HO! Like you have time to knit those little mittens! I love them and that wreath went to my Hedgesvillle ggkids. The four little ones think they are very unique and so does Melissa! Not sure they want her to hang it outside-right now it is in the center of the large table!

Lynne that had to be scary.
Grandson Robert, Alexis dad, will have his gallbladder surgery on the 17th. Go in at 1:00, surgery at 3:00 for about 1 1/2 hours and then recovery and GO HOME!? Any one remember if Tom
went home the same day? And Hedgie what side did you tell Tom to lie on with leg up towards body for comfort?
The most worrisome part is going to be
waiting for the report on the liver biopsy.
We'll be right here with you Jo...
and Robert....
I don't remember for sure about Tom...
Jo Jim was in over night. He did not have the liver thing.
Jim if you are around it is only Thursday.
No, Ceil, it's too late to be a beautiful Thursday morning. Hahahaha.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Yes, Tom did go home the same day.
I know this blog is screwy, but I did not think it was Friday yet....would hate to miss a day.
Oh Jim - I know you really thought it was Friday - I bet you even had your red shirt on. You made me take a second look at my Daily Pill Box to be sure it was only Thurs..... lol
I remember that Tom was uncomfortable for a few days... Can you remember how soon he returned to work. I can
remember thinking it was too early after surgery but......
Those are some kind of Cool Pictures, Sharon !
Okay pork roast is in the oven
three hours + of cooking....
I never know what day it is.
If we get a New thread and we will know it is Thursday...maybe....

I'm surprised she did not bring Pat home:)
8:00 tonight I am watching BONES...
That should do TV for me - then I need to get my cards signed to mail tomorrow.
Oh, man it feels really cold. It is 40, but with the wind it is COLD. We got the lights put on the fence and the house. Now we have the trees left to do. Maybe tomorrow. Also have the Santa to put out and the lighted presents.
Think we we also put up the tree tonight, but the lights for it are still in the attic. Drat! I want to get this decorating done!
I am watching two back to back programs of Private Practice. Sad...no Grey's Anatomy. Which reminds me...prayers for Andy's three exams tonight!
He took that shirt off and put on a superman shirt and then put that one back on! I would have taken it for sure! Mattie said he smelled sweaty and I said - ahhhh! :)
Mits - I was thinking the same thing - Shirt or no shirt But then he smelled
sweaty lol

Loweeda....we are waiting to hear how the Bacon Pasta turned out. Make any substitutions and create your own?
Hello folks.
I just read that there are 970 comments on the blogger. I guess it is still acting up.
Watching the Weather Channel. Looks like we might get a bit of snow over the weekend.
I hope not, Shirley:(
eagle just flew into nest out at Caltrans
they brought a little snack
ooops might have knocked someone's post of the blog
sorry.
can't get Caltrans yet, have to download quicktime again ?
they poofed
Jo, asking about position of comfort for abdominal pain: lay on right side w/ right leg stretched out straight and left leg bent up as close to chest as possible.
Gall bladder surgery (cholecystectomy) done laparoscopically typically has a 2 week recovery period.
DID YOU KNOW: that the government and insurance industry determines:
*what surgeries and testing MUST be done outpatient
*how many days of hospitilization allowed based on diagnoses w/ or w/o complications
and *how many days are allowed off work, again based on diagnoses/complications????????????
TRUE!!

Caltrans Eagle cam
night light is on, should be shutting down soon
I had to completely remove my old quicktime before I could download the new version, Margy....but my computer does not like that cam, it is always hanging up, when I go there.
Good night all
Christmas cards are finished!
Thanks Mits - I remember that from the last viewing time too, could sneak on there for a brief look, than off!
Good Night Ceil ♥
Hedgie, I haven't even started mine and won't be for awhile !
Good for you ! xo ☺
Roast is popping and snapping, hope I don't have an oven fire!
Eating French Toast cause it won't be done for awhile and I am starving !
I shouldn't put the sauerkraut in the pan yet should I ?
Good night, Ceil!!!
Yes, Margy! I put it in at the beginning of cooking time!!
okay thanks, Lynn - it will cool it down that will help, getting some nice roast juices in there going now
sauerkraut will taste good with the pork juices....right behind you Ceil...good night everyone..
Might, Mits!! See you tomorrow!
Good Night Helen ♥
I should have asked more cooking questions before I started this.
by the time I was old enough to pay attention to what my Mother was doing in the kitchen, she wasn't doing much of it anymore.
Learned a few good things, but not enough :(
One disadvantage of being the baby of the family
poor excuse though
I have cookbooks and resources like you guys
December issue of Audubon magazine has a good section on Binoculars
mine don't match up too well to their recommendations
Been sleeping in chair.
Good night.
Good night, Shirley!
Judie hasn't checked in today yet.....
should not someone invent an oven door which opens sideways? or is there such a thing already.
pretty lumbersome to try to lift a roasting pan in and out....
Back to say that the Bacon Pasta was quite tasty. Had some problems w/that many noodles after they cooked! Found Frank's Mother's huge Wearever soup pot that will hold mass quantities! It may be almost as old as him! LOL Think next time, I'll make 1/2 the recipe. May freeze some if we don't finish it.
Back to kitchen clean up ☺
Oh my! I can smell the aroma of pork and kraut coming over the mountain thermals into the Valley! Hmmmmmm!
Then coming up the road is the smell of Bacon Pasta.......
Good think I had a hearty dinner.....
I smelled sauerkraut cooking, so I thought I'd pop in and see who was cooking it.
Margy, when we have kraut, we cook it in the slow cooker all day and night and Gene puts a can of chicken broth in it if the roast isn't flavorful enough. I put a little brown sugar in mine. So many ways to prepare and season it. Yummy with hot dogs cooked in with it about an hour.
I'm still signing cards. Envelopes are stamped and addressed.....
Just turned off the outside Christmas lights. No traffic in front of our home but hope the neighbors enjoy them. Next door put their outside candy canes along their walkway.
I love those 'exploded' hot dogs in kraut! and I usually serve mashed potatoes with it.... Just like grandma did.
Hedgie - How's your hair cut? I hope it is just right and pleases you..
Speaking of Bacon Pasta, a good while ago, I discovered MINI PENNE. It's about half to one third the size of regular Penne. I like small pasta, not quite so doughy. I use mini bow ties, mini elbows and I love angle hair.
Loretta, I cut the receipe in half and there was just enough for me and Gene and some left over for GG.
No leftovers:(
Exploded hot dogs...yep, Jo, that is how I like them too. When they break open, the kraut juice seeps inside and is sooo good:)
I think Margy likes her hot dogs nearly burned:)
I likw ANGEL hair, too:)
crazy blog numbers! OR....perhaps we are all blogging in a parallel universe together and somehow the numbers are just all adding up HERE....oooOOOOoooo scary!
I appear to be in the minority, or maybe all alone on the sauerkraut because I just really can't deal with it.
Going to bed, sweet dreams and prayers for all!
Lynne, you are not alone in the sauerkraut! Nastiness!
Good Night Lynne - (( hugs and prayers ))
well sauerkraut is not for everyone, sure you probably have lots of company on your side
Right Wanda, nearly burnt and crispy, the hot dogs.
I hope this thing turns out okay, turned out to be more work than I have the energy for now, but should give me meals for next work shift.
everything you all described sounds really good to me, especially if you are cooking it !
I have a free Hubbard Squash from Sunday's S-town market but not enough room in the oven to roast it...
firs thing tomorrow maybe
I sure remember THIS meal (check avatar) from July 4 - home-cooked in the Eagle Express ☺
You could microwave the squash, Margy.
how long, Wanda....please and thanks
Oh, yes...I had forgotten that Gene fixed New Yorkers for the 4th picnic. We forgot to marinate the ribs and they were a little tough, felt bad about that:(
I never even noticed that they weren't perfect Wanda !
Margy, cut the squash in half...scoop the seeds out...put in dish...add a little water...cook for 4 to 10 minutes (depending on the size of your squash) Season however you like.
I cover my squash with Plastic Wrap to keep it from drying out.
okay had all that done first, on with the plastic wrap and into the microwave...Thanks again
Sounds as though the Feast is just about finished!
I am tiring out so I will say
Good Night All
Peace to you and yours
Saying prayers for everyone's
needs and wants.......
Giving praise for many reasons.....

special thanks for the friendships here
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
Good night, Jo, Margy and everyone.
Sleep Well
Prayers for all
Oh, and Margy, I am wearing my RED PJ's:) (I have 3 pairs of red PJ's. Gene likes red;)
Oooh, Wanda, red pj's for a hot momma!!
LOL!
Jo, no hair cut---this was dye job. It'd just ok---she was out of my color and tried mixing---too dark to suit me; so she just frosted it more than normal. Guess I can live with it.
Guess everyone is gone....so I will say goodnight, one and all. See you sometime tomorrow---early outing for breakfast. Peace and prayers.
Yes, I used Mini Penne for thye bacon pasta and everything else in recipe, except got canned sliced mushrooms. Was talking about it at work yesterday before I went to store, & my crazy bud said "how about mini-pin"?!! then we cracked up about little hyper dogs! LOL
News time! If I don't get back, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
This is what is showing at the moment:

Go figure.
PS: Big press conference tomorrow from NZ announcing Tai's eminent departure for China....:( :( Sorry, Mits and Sissy.
Oh, Loweeda!! What are we going to do with you? Fresh mushrooms!!!!So much better! lol
You can buy them already sliced. Easy!
I am with Lynne and Sharon on sauerkraut. I LOVE food, I LOVE eating. I eat just about everything, I am not picky BUT I do not care for sauerkraut.
Watched Private Practice, boy what a script! Gets more and more complicated.
Okay, going to call it a night. Snow predicted for in the morning. However, it is apparently going mostly south of us. Crazy, huh? Loweeda, your daughter may be getting snow in the morning.
Good night! Sleep tight!
Hi, Everyone,
I'm actually home from school a little earlier than usual! Guess the teacher took pity on us because we had THREE (yup, count 'em!), that's right, THREE exams tonight!
One on transcription, one on terminology, and one on formatting!
Did some homework too, before coming home, in order to get a little bit ahead of the game. But oh boy, am I fried at this point!!!
Think I did pretty well on the tests. Thanks SO much for the prayers! They're all that keep me going sometimes!
Will try to answer a couple of questions from the earlier blog. Lynne, I'm glad you like the new avatar! Don't know what kind of flowers they are, though. The pic was taken last summer on our vacation in Scotland. It's one of the flower beds at the Marriott Dalmahoy about 7 miles from Edinburgh. Believe me, it's like heaven on earth! Over 1,000 wooded acres, and an old estate converted to a hotel and country club, with a golf course (although I don't play golf). Every flower bed is color-coordinated, and just gorgeous! Wah!!! I wanna go back there!!!!! It is without a doubt, my FAVORITE
place on this earth!
Welcome Home Andrea.
I was on the roost but came back over for a minute...
Hope your sleep is restorative,
and that all your tests went well.
Don't read back on the blog too much, you might get hungry.
Tomorrow is today over here already, and it will be RED FRIDAY where you are, pretty soon.
xo Good Night...☺
Yeah, right, Margy! I'm absolutely drooling all over myself! Just LOOK at your avatar!! And I can SMELL your pork roast with sauerkraut! It's kind of a family tradition to serve that with mashed potatoes on New Year's Day--and it's one of my absolute favorites!
That bacon pasta sounds SO good too, so may make some this weekend!
Yummy yum!
Lynne, I read back a bit on the blog, and now I'm giving prayers of thanksgiving that you and the dogs are OK!!! Whew, that was close! Don't know what gets into people sometimes. God must've sent a legion of angels to save you!
Say, no Judie today! She must be buried in papers to grade! TGIF back east already! Judie's desperate for the weekend, I'll bet.
Good to see you here, Shirley! Don't blame you for hitting the hay, though. If I weren't so hungry now, I probably would too!
Had to eat an early dinner to get to school by 5:00, and now I'm ravenous enough to eat cardboard!
Hope our refrig has something better than that waiting for me!
Have a good rest, Margy, Lolly, and everyone else; prayers being said for everyone and many situations. Pray that Judie gets a wonderful night's sleep, too--bet she needs it! Sleep snugly and warmly, everybody, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. No school on Friday! Yippee!! Maybe I can do some Christmas decorations! The night light is burning brightly over the nest (The moon is huge and bright out here in the west, too!), the porch light is on, and the eye scanner is ready to go. G'night, everyone, and God bless!! Love all you guys! :o]
Good morning out there in Eagle Land!! Hope all is well with everyone! TGIF!!! I think I have almost recovered from our wild adventure!!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!!---I can't find the beginning or the end of this blog--ho!---I have learned not to trust the numbers!
But MARGY---I did bookmark the B SPRINGS store---That's a cool ARTSY place to shop!!
Good morning Norma!!! How's stuff in Romney this morning?
MORNIN' & CONGRATS!! SISSY!!---You are our #1 EAGLE MOM!---today & everyday!---#1 question!!---How are you gonna keep BLUEFIELD SHARON--TC & MATTIE down on the 'farm'----after they have seen the CHOO CHOO???----ho!!---Are you folks going to the FOOTBALL play-off in Wheeling??-
We aren't going to get to go this year, Tom has to work tomorrow. I am bummed out about it too. I hate to miss it, but IT IS WHAT IT IS!! I think we are almost recovered from the concert. It was too much fun for sure. I think Sharon is ruined for life, don't think she will ever recover from the experience!!!
MORNIN' SISSY!---Yesterday was WINDY & SNOW predicted for Saturday!!---It's Fri--have my RED JAMMIES on--I love KRAUT!!---When I was preg--(many moons ago)---I would open a can of KRAUT & eat it before I could get it cooked!!--Bill---used to scream everytime I brought home more than 1 can of kraut!!---(good times)---MARGY--must have KRAUT w/pork!!
SISSY!---so funny---but I bet our BLUEFIELD SHARON will need a while to get over being hit by --- THE TRAIN!!---I'm not too old to 'dream' either!!---BRETT FAVRE is on my frig---right beside 'TAI'---ho!
GOOD MORNING LADIES...
Waiting on a visit to the Sycamore Palace...I even have my RED PJ's on.
Norma...must have mashed potatoes with Kraut, too:) Have you ever had a New Yorker? We put a hot dog in a bun and put kraut and pieces of pork on top. Ummmm!
THERE THEY ARE!
WAKE UP...WE HAVE VISITORS!!!!
Good morning everyone. I woke up way to early and couldn't go back to sleep so here I am and there they are. Thats not all bad for sure :-)
THERE IS AN EAGLE IN OUR NEST!!!
ONLY ONE, NOW.
someone must have pulled the curtain
WHOA!---I hope DANA is up & can see them!!-----
ooops back on. must have been adjusting the shade is all.
That would be Belle sitting so close to the cam.
Morning, Glo:)
MORNIN' WANDA & GLO!---What a short visit!!---Wanda--I know it sounds crazy--i don't like mashed potatoes---LOVE--BAKED--FRIED, etc!
Norma, I don't think I have ever met anyone who didn't like mashed potatoes! You are a first. Do you like mashed sweet potatoes?
SISSY--It probably is just as well you folks haven't planned to go to Wheeling---NPR news---keeps predicating SNOW!!!---REMEMBER--WVU plays tomorrow at 12:00!--last game!!
What a big stick she has! Lets see what she does with it.
OH no Norma! I love football in the snow!! I am grieving over not getting to go!!!
Unknown BIRD at BWO!---Could it be a Red Winged Blackbird?---Kinda dark pic---but can see a patch on top of wing?---
She shoved it back into the left side of the FORT wall.
She has another big stick.
That one went into the right side wall.
DANA---'EAGLE' in the nest!
Hi Morning People ☺
Watching those pretty Eagles now Eagle at our nest.
Trying to reconcile checkbook. Woof, finding errors not in my favor.
I like mashed any kind of potatoes Norma.
Also Norma, you must check out the cormorant pictures Lisa posted on the BWO site yesterday, check the left hand column on that page and click on photos !
Back to unpleasant accounting task.
PS - I sent Steve an email trying to describe the weird blog post numbers...
SISSY---I enjoy football in snow too---but not the DRIVE TO WHEELING!!---maybe roads have improved since I last was there!---
Norma, I also like potatoes cooked any which way, love Potato Pancakes and warm applesauce!
Oh , Eagle went bye-bye :(
I put a few pics on the album
Went to turn coffee pot on and now we have an empty nest. She did a little work...a lot left to be done. As I recall, last year, the first egg was laid January 30, a little earlier than the year before. It seems a lot of eagles laid their eggs early last season. Two months to finish their nestorations. Wish we had live feed and SOUND. Remember those days? It seem so long ago:(
MORNIN' MARGY!---figuring out my check book is waaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom of my list of favorite things to do!!----did you note--I bookmarked your B-SPRINGS site!!!
I'm sure it's coming Wanda..better we didn't have it during the hunting season at NCTC
Good Morning to the Captain !
Squash turned out perfectly by the way, got meals for the week-end.
TTFN xo Best wishes for a good day, everyone ! ♥
Yes, Norma, I NOTICED! That store is really cool....in person, and on-line ! Wish I didn't find these errors in my checkbook, I am usually really really careful. bad time of the year to "lose" money :(
Well that was a nice visit and beautiufl way to start my day. since I am up so early I think I will go make a cup of tea. Its very cold here this morning. First morning this winter for a doggie sweater.
LOOK NOW
SEA EAGLE AT FINLAND !
Finland Water Nest:
Finland Water Nest
Well, it left...might return. What an awesome sight....
Mits, are you out there watching ?
MARGY---Just missed the FINNY site!
CURSES!---
Helen saw some action there yesterday, so the time of the year is here! Not to worry!
A black bird is back at BWO -
MARGY---I love potatoes too!---Did you ever fix cream potatoes w/peas!----My family loved them fixed that way!
pix/PA---not much happening---a few squirrels & I think I saw a groundhog-----
I think I mentioned before that I worked at a local bank (was called Citizens Nationl Bank at the tim), it is now consolidated with OLD NANTIONAL...anyway, balancing checkbooks was one of my jobs. Loved doing that...it was a challenge for me. I hated to tell a customer that I found THEIR mistake and they have less money than they thought:(
Norma, that might have been PUNXATAWNY PHILL!
My coffee is done..gone to get some.
SHIRLEY!---(when you log on)---Are you familiar with the 'KINDLE BOOK'---or the EREADER?-----
Norma, my niece has a Kindle and absolutely loves it!!
WANDA!!---That could be!!!---He is only a few mos early!! ho!
WHOA!! SISSY!---I have no idea how it works---but seems to be the direction everyone is going!---Is she in school or how did she learn to use it?---
The Finney nest is one of the most beautiufl online I think. Well tea was good. Now off to coffee and dog treats. Got to get these eyes opened and focusing ya never know if you might get some secret message which requires the very best of vision. Have a good day folks.
MORNIN' GLO!---WHOA!---I think you may be hittin' that caffeine a wee bit too hard!---You will be going too fast for DEX to keep up!---ho!----I should talk--I'm not dressed yet!!
Normabyrd, I bet you are dressed in your red jammies!
She is a stay at home mom but she hasn't been out of college but a few years. She is really up to date on all the latest stuff.
good Friday a.m. everyone:)at least, I think it is Friday, can't tell by this so called daily blog:(
Good Morning Mits ☺
Just wear RED, you will know it is Friday ☺
Saw the Sea Eagle this morning
Morning all!
Norma, I have never used a Kindle Reader, but I have a friend who likes it. Most of my recreational reading now is done on CD while I am commuting to and from work.
Headed out..see you friends later.
xo
Good Morning Shirley ☺
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON---SHIRLEY & MITS!!---So SHARON how does it feel to be among us home folks after you have met the CHOO CHOO TRAIN!! ho!
Just caught the end of a comment on radio---In re:---a whale is tangled up with some sort of rope!----maybe someone else has heard it!--
Good Morning, Everyone! It's a beautiful Friday! TGIF!! Yippee--no school today for me! Hope I can get the Christmas tree up, or at least started! Gotta get in the mood for Christmas.
How is everybody this morning? I'm going to wear my red Spongebob t-shirt today. Sierra, our GGD, just LOVES Spongebob! Makes me feel closer to her. (sigh)
God, give me patience!
One of my 11th graders just turned in his assignment by placing a laptop computer in my in-box.
I had allowed him to do his art work for a project on the laptop. I told him that he would need to transfer the information to a flash drive and print the work at home to turn it in. He does not have his flash drive, so he just stuck an open laptop in the in-box. (A school computer.) Funny kid.
I have called the library. They may be able to help him print the work. Maybe I should not be praying for patience. Maybe I already have too much. Maybe I just need to be meaner!! Thing is, I do like this kid, but . . .
MORNIN' ANDY!---My 2 youngest G-KS love SPONGEBODGE too!---Happy--Happy Trimming!!
Morning, all.
Our fresh thread is not so fresh anymore!
Eagles!!!! Our nest!!!
Looks like they came in together.
Fresh thread is well-used now.
I guess Judie is in exam world these days.
One gone.
MORNIN' PAULA!---Maybe you know--BUT the 'CUTE' CHEF from FREDERICK is up to win---'BEST CHEF'!!--His twin bro is a CHEF too in CA??
Two again.
I am here! Watching our beautiful eagles!
Wow! Eagles!
Good morning! Wow, what a way to start the day!
Hey we have a pair of eagles in the nest!
Kid got pics printed at library. In black and white, though he had done the work in color. But at least it's printed.
So what is unusual about Lib's feet that identifies him?
Norma- they are not twins, just brothers! And yes, I have been watching!
Birds are so light. Is the night light on?
Just hopped on here before work & what a surprise this late in the AM!
I feel likeI'm getting the "eagle eye" treatment.
They're gone.
Norma - I heard that on the whale...off the CA coast
Eagle back!
Thanks PAULA!---They certainly look alike!!---I heard them say they had hung around kitchens at a very early age!!---Have you eaten in his resturant??
Norma - whale has 500ft of rope tangled around him...they are trying to remove it. Put a tracking device on the trailing rope to be able to find him.
Wow, blog really swallowed that post.
Norma - the whale is tangled in 500 ft of rope. They have attached a tracking device to the trailing rope.
Duh was on this page....
2 now
No Norma, it just opened last year. I've heard it's good.
PAULA---I read a min ago---that they cut the 'PLASTIC ROPE' & let the whale go!
Doing nestorations!
I take it ya'll heard about Tai...headed to China...they will announce today when he will be leaving.
