New thread.
And my very best holiday wishes to all of you out there in eagle land. We have been testing the live cam and it is getting close. Our new partner is The Outdoor Channel. No link for the cam yet, but hopefully soon.
Also, remember to check out my Friend Pete's canoe blog and cam, he's working hard all alone today.

1 – 200 of 282 Newer› Newest»Good morning all. Thanks. I'll go get the others.
Thank you very much!
Thanks, Steve!
Wanda, that sounds like a great idea.
Shirley, love the squirrel pic! Did you find your scissors?
Thanks Steve and Hedgie!
Good to hear about Sissy feeling pretty well - about Dana having a tree & about Wanda's celebration for Christmas.
I sure hope the weather accommodates all of us and our plans. I told hubby we best get some food in the house in case everyone coming can't make it - They are bringing most of the dinner foods. I can't just live off pumpkin pie and pumpkin cakes! lol
Found them, Paula. Thanks for asking.
Have been wrapping.
Thanks STEVE for the new FROSTY THREAD---Thanks HEDGIE for the call
over!!!
Margy's pic from this morning's visit on the Momsters album are great -
especially since I missed them.
Just didn't hear Wanda yell for us around 7:12 am...
I need to get my street clothes on and head out shortly for my trip to the toy store.......
MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---Are you doing the cooking for SISSY?
Bless her heart!!!
Moosies on cam :)
MORNIN' MEMA JO!!---Lisa is coming here & we are going down to Laura's for dinner!!---If we get more snow---IT'S GRILLED CHEESE & SOUP! ho!
thanks for the alert, Lynn
opsrey at Dunedin cam....nest is really full of fluff
JO!--I mentioned on the other blog that BLACK WATER'S NEST is filled with PINE TWIGS!----GOOD SIGN! ho!
Still no sign of the 'LITTLE PRINCE' at the SDIEGO site!!
Thanks Steve for the new thread and grateful for the call over.
Good Eagle Morning Ms Hedgie ( :
WOW Wanda that sounds just great. This must be the naming time from last year to this year of names ending in "den". Wanda has a Jayden, Ed has a Cayden and a Brayden.
Yes I am so pleased with my little tree this year. Next year I bring out the other one. It is decorated from the last year (which I forget what year that was) and placed in a box with a white sheet around it. Each year I usually bring it out and just straighten things up on it. I truly like my little tree for this year...again Thank You So Much Loretta ... you was God's messenger to me.
Did ya'll see Steve's updated post on this new thread? Good news!
I have a lunch date & some shopping to do!!!---Will probably slide of the hill!!--ho!---later!
Norma just don't let you body lean today the area that would slide you off -----lean the other way.
SHIRLEY--(before i forget)---Please tell JUDIE that the saying I used yesterday to JOHN--'AREN'T WE GLAD WE MARRIED YOU'----It's a 'saying my kids used to say when someone did something nice for them'---think it was picked up from a comic strip saying!!! ho!
'i read she couldn't understand why she thought i mentioned marriage to john' ho!
GOTCHA! DANA-----THANKS!
later!!
Norma - Take care and wear your no-skid boots! Hang onto Lisa & enjoy your day. In this weather Soup & Grilled Cheese sounds tasty.
I have been watching those pine springs at BWE - she is such a neat housekeeper - Nest keeper I mean.
Paula I skipped right over Steve's remarks after Hedgie called us over since I was cutting and pasting my comment. The Outdoor Channel - I sure hope it is a good one. Don't know of any other cams offhand that have that servicer. Very anxious to see it.
I have sent email to all on my list, and same message through Momster mail. Read, please, as soon as you can.
Maybe Judie will be on here later to read your explanation, Norma. I am sure she will appreciate it.
Thanks for the great news, Steve. Keep us posted!
Jo, I only saw it cause I was going back to read the early morning posts...which I never did cause I was checking out the link, LOL
Thanks for the information, Lynn.
Oh dear, just as I was about to wrap Rus's gift, I found one of those danged security devices attached. I set off the system when I left the store, and tried to figure out what was causing it, but did not find it.
Nobody at the store did a thing when the alarm went off two times when I left. Now I have to go back unless one of you knows how to remove the thing. (I will remember to take the receipt. They will probably come a-runnin' when I go back in. That has happened to me before.)
Lynn, thanks for being there for Deb's family. You certainly did convey our love for her to them. I know that was very consoling to them.
The clerk was busy calling security while she was checking me out because she saw someone suspicious.
Wonder if Susan knows how to get it off? Maybe she can bring one of those remover things with her.
Shirley - let us know if we need to come pick you up !
Eagles at BWE...sure doing a lot of munching there!
Thanks for the new thread Steve - the update on live feed, we know it will here when everything is ready!
And thanks for posting that fabulous afternoon eagle visit picture on the Blog Home Page Tuesday! Just visited your friend's cam and blog.
WOWSIE (to borrow Jo's term of excitement)
I just got an invite to go see Alvin and the Chimpmunks with James while his father goes shopping. An offer I cannot refuse!
Thanks from me too Lynn, and Yay, Dana, your Christmas tree, now you can sing that song to it!
Momsters, Rock! (And Dadsters of course)
Love to all, prayers for wellness and safety, got to get ready for my movie date.
xoxo ♥ ☺
Try a magnet, Shirley.
Thanks, Jo.
I just e-mailed Susan. I am sure they have those remover devices they use in the store where she works. I do not know if they will allow her to leave the store with it, but she is a manager. Maybe she can just bring one with her.
I'll save a little money back for bonding Shirley out if she needs it.
☺
Thanks for the suggestion, Paula. Maybe that will work.
Those things are supposed to shoot ink all over everything if you mess with them. I've not seen that happen, don't want to.
And looks like dried plants at BWE, not feathers.
Yeah, as Dana said, don't wanna end up in the pokey!
Got a blouse once. Nothing happened when I left the store, but I took it back to a Culpeper store later on; the alarm announced my entrance into the store and people came rushing. They were very helpful when I showed the receipt, though.
Dog out with the moose...well he was
OK, Will is no help. He said I have to take it back to the store.
BWE MT
Eewwiie at BWO
What is that at the edge of the nest?
Which nest, Shirley?
Ours
Where on the edge?
Dog out with the moose again
Maybe a shadow or melted snow on the ground below. Looks odd, but not like an eagle. Maybe I am just seeing things.
Just past 12:00.
Just stuff in the distance....bright sunlight really changes things
Think I am seeing things....that's buckets, not doggie!
Shadows...
Shirley it's the ink that got in your eyes from trying to get that thing off tee hee oh I'm bad
Gonna put Rus's gift aside for now and get some other things done.
Shirley I went in an enlarge your avaitar and I just love it. Did you snap the picture yourself?
Yes, Dana. I snapped it this morning. I am getting more squirrel visits today.
That's right outside my back door.
What kind of camera do you have Shirley?
It is a Canon Power Shot Digital. I do not know much about cameras, but it has been perfect for me.
Out the door! to the toy store!
BBL
Bye, Jo!
Someone sitting in front of the BWE nest...
Hve fun, Jo. 50% off at Toys R us today

Jim
I think they finally might have Diego outside. Looks like he's climbing over and on a log at the moment.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Looks like there is a new blog entry for Diego's exam too.
Enjoy, enjoy. I've got to get some Christmas stuff done this A.M.
Later..........
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I'm back. Whew! Busy, busy.
Dough is rising---for the first time!
Once more before I start rolling out and doing the rest, and then rise once more in pans before going in oven.
Finished old thread...now to read this one!
Glo, Merry Christmas NOW in case you lose power, but hoping you don't!
Wanda, sounds like you will have a ball on Christmas Day!!! Will you have an open bar??? LOL!
Yup, Jim, Diego is finally venturing outside...
Me be back later
eagle eating at BWO
Well its 33 and I still have my power :-). Got flood watches out now as expecting 1 to 2 inches of rain on top of all this ice before it changes back to snow late Christmas Eve and into Fri. If the ice will melt off of power lines before the wind takes them down then we should be ok. Dex and I had quite a walk. I wore my boots with thick tread and poor little guy kept slipping but we did get the business done if you get my "drift" remember he doesn't go anywhere where he thinks people will walk. Cam at least on my computer is looking a little sick again. But its almost the New Year and that was the original info we got on when live cam would be up. Soon very soon. And with eating in the nest we know our pair is busily in prep for the new season.
cam looks better now too. :-) well thats cool. I am very glad to see.
Well, driving to and being at work is really on the "edge of whiteness"!!!! Need your sunglasses if near a window!
Dana, so glad you have a fiber optic tree. I got it last year, as had new kitten's first Xmas & didn't know how they both would handle a big one w/ornaments!The baby was even trying to chew the needles this AM, & I had set the water squirter bottle on the table. Didn't faze them. Guess we'll have to squirt!
Shirley and Margy, love your squirrels. I'll have to put our buddy, Shorty, and friends on Blog.
3 others are now coming to deck, but they are afraid of people. Shorty seeks you out if she knows you're outside!
Back to work~~~~Duh. I spent about an hour trying to unpack a new roll of banner vinyl~~~never seen this before.In box, then thick cardboard tube w/circular wooden ends screwed to tube!Banner roll is out of all that, but wrapped w/heavy plastic secured to plastic bases!I won't dare cut into the vinyl! BBL
I know that Steve's message wasn't there when I found the new thread, gang!
good news, indeed....can hardly wait.
Oh, Shirley.....what a predicament!!! Sis had one on her sweatshirt that she bought when she was here last summer----put it through the wash!! And it leaked STUFF....store didn't want to take it back until she demanded to see manager!
Glo, Glad you're back so I can say Happy Holidays to you and Dex!!
Time to start rolling out dough. BBL!
hello everyone...beautiful bright day here!
Of course our route to Terra Alta looks bad for Christmas Day. Steve is pretty bummed out. He hasn't spent Christmas with his mom in many years. And SHE hasn't had Christmas with any of her 4 kids in years either.
has anyone been watching the Delta nest at all? I've been checking here and there but haven't seen any activity. Think I heard an eagle earlier though.
good grief, another Carolina wren stuck on the porch!! I just can't figure how these birds are getting in...I can't find an opening anywhere!
Dr Sharpe on the WE cam...take a look while you can :)
Yea! Big road grader in the neighborhood.
Boo! Susan can't help me with the security device. Would like to call the store and tell them to come here and fix it. They should have showed up to help when the alarm sounded twice. Well, tomorrow I will go see what I can do about it.
Eagle, I think at Maine cam.
Dough is now rolls! 12 pans (they get shared!). Now to rise again and then bake. Cinnamon sure smells good---and I don't mean the dog!
SIL will take 3 pans to firehall with him Sat. for his crew to enjoy. That will leave 3 pans for each "family"...Chrsitie will take one to her dad, too.
Now to clean up mess!!
Where is Terra Alta, Lynne?
It's in WV, just over the Maryland line in Garrett Co.
Howdy!!! Guess who has her laptop back. Young man came at 9:30 and worked til 2:30. Our TV's, telephone and computers are all on AT&T U-verse now. We will see if this works out. It is a savings of approx $100 a month for us. Have to learn all over how to use the TV controller. All this technology will keep us all young!! Keeps our minds working. (Or does it just add to our confusion?)
Have just skimmed the blog quickly, so please tell me if there is something important I missed.
We had fun last night. I enjoyed seeing all the little girls with curls and bows in their hair. Told Laurel I was going to have to put a bow in her hair. lol She said "I curled it....that is all you get!"
Haved done more cooking today, and will do more tomorrow. Jack says that after church tomorrow evening we will just order pizza. I was thrilled!
I love that picture of our eagles on yesterday's blog. It is so colorful and clear!!!!! So excited about the live cam. Can hardly wait!!!
I pulled a good one---LOL! "Threw" a piece of wood in the fire and my glove went right with the log!!! Thank goodness I had just bought a new pair recently which I hadn't started using yet!!
Lolly, glad you and Laurel enjoyed the play!!
I think we all are much more savvy about computers, at least, thanks to this blog and all the smart people we have on it!!
Sure glad I have two ovens!! The rolls are baking. Yummmm.
Happy afternoon, everyone.
Thank you, Margie. Hugs to you!
Went to get my "do did" this morning and when I returned home Darth informed me Walter Reed vascular called, he told them about the swelling, and so the saga continues as I must report there at 0800 tomorrow morning. Will keep you updated.
Missed the news from Steve but am thinking we might get a live feed soon? Wouldn't that be the bestest holiday present?
Now I find that Norma is trying to cover her tracks about her "relationship" with John and Shirley is on the lam with a Christmas gift.
I'm glad Sissy is feeling better and Dana has her tree and Jo will have more than pumpkin pie to eat after toy shopping, that Lynn is baking, Margy is going to see Alvin and the Chipmonks, and Jim and I have watched Diego playing in the enclosed area outside the den. Hoping Lynne2 and Steve get to Terra Alta safely to enjoy the holidays with his mom. Hi Lowreeda, Glo and Dex, and Paula.
Think I'll go elevate the leg -- life is soooo exciting for me.
Judie...so sorry you are have to go back to the doctor, but also so glad they will be checking you. Must get you fixed up!
Hi Judie! Hope you get encouraging report tomorrow!
Went out to take pics of snow fields in front of house & saw many deets eating at the treeline. 2 took a nap. One was a "Bucky", maybe Spot, Sr. Got their pics. Also took "frozen pond" in back. Hope parking spot which wasn't plowed, will let me get out of here later. I actually parked on driveway near house. Only the back tires are on white yuck!
Well, Lynn, might as well pitch the other one in there too.
I can smell those rolls!
Lynne - hope you can make it out..if not there's always Saturday...
Big black lines across our cam
Just found out that a former co-worker who had just recently been permanently laid-off won a MILLION $$$$ lottery in Louisiana! He had been transferred there several years ago. Has just gotten a new job at Dulles Airport, which he is still going to do . 41%taken out in taxes. Going to pay cash for his new house here. Sure must be nice, huh???!!!!
Paula, a Saturday/Sunday visit is out because Steve's mom has to work first thing Sunday. We'll just try for next Friday....
Lolly I'm so glad you had such a good time last night!
Lynn, I agree with Paula...send the odd glove in with it's mate!
UGH Judie....I sure hope they will figure something out tomorrow to get you some relief.
The dog rescue has started processing our application...they called our neighbor/landlord today!
wow Lynn, that's so lucky for your former co-worker!!! I'd be happy with 59% of a million!!!
Or Lynne, maybe a late Friday/Saturday visit?
Did you find a dog yet, or just start the application process?
Eagle at BWO
Almost looks like HP at BWO, but might have just been squawking.
Eagle at BWE...has wings spread...
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST
jUST ONE..
Poof our nest
Eagle still at BWE
Boy, that was a quick visit.
Hello all:)
Maybe Fri late/Saturday...Steve's going to talk to his mom this evening.
We have a dog in mind and I wanted to send the link but the computer is acting goofy. Actually there are 2 dogs but one has an adoption pending. Last weekends storm prevented the rescue from making the home visit.
ROFL---glove did NOT smell good---still had some of those rubbery grips on it. Threw the other one in the trashcan!
Judie, I am VERY glad that docs want to see you tomorrow. FInd out what's up and fix it!!
Loretta, hope you don't spin your wheels.
Lynne, lets keep our positive thoughts weather is going to better than they are saying.
CHrissy says they are having a blizzard across the pond. Vehicles were stuck in the Chunnel for three days. Need to do some internet checking on all of that!
Casey the Dog
The dog we are interested in.
Eagle still at BWE
EAGLE back in our nest!
ANd now gone. Got a pic tho.
must have been in a hurry...gone now!
Eagle eating at BWE
totally missed that last pop in
Awww Lynn, looks like a sweetie!
Heading to grocery store and home...later!
Judie - glad they want you back in there...
I like the looks of Casey too Lynne.
Hope it works out for you and Steve ♥
Hope that Judie can get a quick fix in the morning and get back to her roost for Christmas Eve Afternoon.
Good that Glo still has power, and what a considerate Pup Dex is...doesn't want to poop shoot where people traverse...☺
Things are getting busy all around all right. Keep up those prayers that Peace and Joy, comfort and Safety will prevail, despite the weather, but hope the forecast improves magically !
ISS will be out again for clear skies in some areas, it was brilliant this morning!
Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Squeakquel, was pretty darn cute. Was a lovely unexpected early Christmas get together with my grandson, then we played in the snow here for a long time, made lots of magpie and grandson tracks.
Time to get ready for a nap, finally go back to work tonight at midnight...
xo Love and Prayers for all
back in a few for a minute or two
Oh, there was a Santa Claus, real man, riding on the front locomotive of the Winchester and Western Railroad this afternoon, James and I saw him at two crossings, it was great. Train Whistle sounded whistles that sounded like Jingle Bells, the rhythm of it that it is ☺
It was slow moving train
Lots of deets in driveway----easier acorn pickin' there than through the snow!!
ISS will be out in the Morning that is. Imagine, spending Christmas on the International Space Station
Ok, here is the deal....it is presently 67, it got up to 75 today. We have the house open and in some rooms turned on the ceiling fan. In the morning.........SNOW. Have I been associating with you guys too much?
Actually, the weather predictions goes like this...rain, mix, snow, with accumulation up to 1 to 2 inches.
Oh, I wish I had deets in my driveway! However, when they started munching on my plants I know I would YELL!
There are lots of deets in Texas, but I have never seen any here. Well, in the paper recently there was a letter to the editor. A person had had a deer cross the road in front of him. He was amazed and wanted to warn locals. Interesting!
there is an eagle doing nestorations at Delta if anyone is interested.,..
gone...
I sure do worry about that nest
Oh, Lynne! That dog looks precious! Wish I had a dog. Jack is just not a dog person. We have a cat...only because I insist! We have had two dogs in the past. They were wonderful, and Jack loved them, but right now while we travel, he does NOT want one.
Oh I was interested in Delta, Lynne, just couldn't make the trip to the cam right now :(
Got to get in some z's -
will catch some of you perhaps before I leave for work tonight.
Prayers for all our needs...and in fact, many of our Wants...☺
Sure like the sound of all the cooking that is going on! Would prefer to smell and eat some of the treats actually ☺
TTFN xoxo ☺ ♥
Well, I guess I can understand about not wanted a dog when you travel a lot. We are interested in her because she is young but past puppy, medium sized...good for taking in the car and camping! She looks like a sociable dog and it's a huge plus that she likes kids cause our neighbors have 2 that we watch and spend quite a bit of time with. We have 3 cats ( or if you read about Brother, we have 2 cats and one Freakshow in a Fur Jumpsuit ) and she has not been tested with cats yet.
Well, Margie, please know, I would LOVE to share baked goodies with you. Come on over!
Lolly, I will be listening to that tune that your Santa is playing as I drift off to sleep ♪ ♫ xo ♥
Oh, Margy, did you get pictures of Santa on the train???? How cool!!
Sorry you have to work tonight...6 hrs.??
Thanks Lolly, just a hop skip and a jump to your place !
Lynn, yes I did, but won't be able to post until the morning. I was fumbling with my camera and did not get a great shot but I will play with it some in the morning.
Yes 6 hrs tonight, and then 12 starting Christmas Eve at "1800."
xo okay, walking away now...bed is warmed up.
Oh, that should be interesting, Judie. When Laurel was looking for cat she wanted a kitten that was used to dogs. She found one, very young, that was used to dogs. One day she heard a interesting sound....there was BOSCO, their neutered male dog, spread out, and the kitten was "nursing" on a nipple.
Our local volunteer Fire Dept runs a hook and ladder truck through the different neighborhoods in the couple of weeks before Christmas...really cute, all light up with Santa throwing candy canes to the onlookers! Of course, back here in the boonies we can only hear the commotion, the don't come this far down the road
That's so funny Lolly! I hope they got a picture!
Hey, Lynne, we live in the boonies too! lol
I don't think they got a picture, but we certainly remember it. Bosco and Isabelle are still great companions.
My dogs and cats have always gotten along....I have some of the cutest pictures of them snuggled up with each other but they are the old fashioned pictures and I don't have a scanner to share them.
Want you guys to know my Denton family rang the bell in front of Wally World today. From 4 to 5, Laurel, Joey, Joseph, and Jacob rang the Salvation Army bell. Laurel said those boys really brought in the money. Joey took them to the restroom and Laurel said she got smiles but not much $, With the boys they got LOTS. Bless my boys, learning to help those who need help.
you'd think poor Bosco would have been in pain....those little kitten teeth are SHARP!!
That's wonderful that they did that!! I heard on the news that the Salvation Army (along with all the other charities) donations are really down this year.
Lynne, we have always had cats, preferably Siamese cats. We have even raised a few litters and sold them. We have had two Keeshond dogs. Once we held up a new born kitten for one of the dogs to sniff. The hours old kitten hissed!
I think Brother Cat is part Siamese! Maybe a grand parent or something. He is very busy, very vocal, has really pretty blue green eyes and sharper features like a Siamese cat does.
We presently do not have a Siamese. Annie is a black and while long hair, who appeared one Aug. morning, approx. 6 weeks old and wet from the rain. She had fleas, ear mites, worms, and so needed a home and love. She is now 14 1/2. We call her Mad Cat. She did not learn a lot of the skills she would have learned from her Mother. She is definitly a one person cat...me. lol
Time to go prepare some dinner. lol If you call, Chili Dogs, dinner.
BBL
Hi everyone. I'm really early tonight. Jim took care of the cleaning and make the soup and sandwiches, so I just lazed around.
Okay, I give up! What's the differnece between BWE & BWO? I think I have one of them, Blackwater, but what's the other?
Okay , back to Jeopardy!
...later
Funny how they know which door to show up at! She was lucky to pick yours!
In the rescue and vet business, it's always been one of the things most dreaded is the one puppy or one kitten litter or found. They really do learn a lot of social skills from being with mom and littermates.
BWE is the Blackwater EAGLE nest and BWO is the Blackwater OSPREY nest....this had me confused for a while too!
BWE is the Blackwater EAGLE nest and BWO is the Blackwater OSPREY nest....this had me confused for a while too!
Diann - they are both Blackwater sites.
E is for the Eagle cam
O is for the Osprey cam
Bring up the site and off to the right click on the other site.
After shopping for Christmas Toys with Robert - I brought his daughter Alexis
up for the evening. We iced cakes and made jello salad cream cheese topping.
Going to do some last minute things...
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and that is my family's get together time.
BBILW
Margy, wish you didn't have to work tonight but hope it will be quiet and the crazies stay indoors.
Siamese? Did someone named Lolly mention Siamese? Had Siamese since I was early twenties. Last two died last year. Still grieving. Want so much to have another critter or two but Darth is not agreeable. Nice guy but we are very different people.
I'll be back later. Dinner is over and need to get my foot elevated.
Girlfriend in FL had a wonderful surprise this morning. Knock on door---it was her son and his girlfriend from here! She was one very happy momma!!
She's my other millionaire friend---a relatively young widow (45)---he had a big insurance policy and she sold farm for big money!
Lynne, good looking dog for sure.
Funny story about the male wetnurse!!
I am not a cat person.....oove kittens, but the problem is they always grow up to be cats! Had two when kids were pre-teen/teens, but that was it for me.
Judie, definitely get in that recliner!
Jo, did you buy any toys for yourself??? Think I would if I let myself go to ToysRUs! what time tomorrow do your festivities start??
Evening Everyone! Gotta go eat, but first had to dwnld pics from today.
New star pic I've been trying to get for years. Went further down the road from my house on way home to a crane company. They put up a boom and suspend this star every Xmas!!!!Gotta send it to SIL & nieces.
BBL (unless I konk out in chair LOL)
DUH! I forgot to change pics!
Is it nap time?
OK, here's the crane co. star. Can't see the cable.
BBL
Loretta, it has to be said...your tree looks suspiciously like a bald eagle.
Now Judie, just suppose you happened to "find" a little Siamese kitten that was homeless and hungry.....?? Surely Darth wouldn't turn it away?
Love the star, Loretta!!!
Growing up we had a Siamese "Fu". One month after we married we bought "Ahso" (Ahso,$10 cat!)Ahso died at 17. Then we got "Kissie". She was a registered Siamese. We had her bred and sold her kittens for over $100, but kept one kitten. "Misty" was a blue point. She was the most fantastic cat ever! Boy, we LOVED that cat. When she was getting old Annie showed up at our door step. I will have another Siamese some day and preferably a blue point.
Our two dogs we had were Keeshonds.
Home from shopping and PT.
Kathryn is going to come pick up the robe and take it to the mall for me tomorrow.
Judie, do tell us what the doctor tells you tomorrow.
Have lots of odds and end to take care of.
BBL.
posted our tree on my blog.
Really, doesn't Loretta's tree look like a bald eagle!
Shirley I hope your PT went well!
Steve finally home from shopping and traffic fighting so time for dinner.
Lynne, hope things work out so that you get Casey.
thanks Shirley...
PT went fine, Lynne. I had a new therapist tonight. She just moved here from Texas.
Good late evening, everyone.
Yes, I think if a Siamese, or any other reasonable critter showed up, he would relent.
Must be up extra early tomorrow. Will check in when I can. Am hoping for a wee bit of positive news.
Turning my light out and leaving the night light on for others --BUT -- turning off the bright lights so the cops can't find Shirley and her purloined gift. Andy, please set the electronic alarm when you come in.
Good night everyone. Pleasant night before Christmas Eve.
Judie, Kathryn is going to set the problem right for me tomorrow. Thank goodness, she will come pick up the robe and the receipt and take it to the store for me. Bless her! Most likely the store personnel will come running when she enters the store and sets off the alarm.
One positive thing about the weather. It is helping Kathryn's business at the body shop. She said they have had several vehicles that got damaged because they were sitting in car ports that collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Thought you all would like to see Chrissy's Christmas menu!!!
I don't know what a typical Christmas dinner is where you are pet,, I'll give you mine below,,,,

Evening everyone. Thanks to all who answered my question re BWE & BWO.
Margy, I'll miss you tonight. Have an easy night at work.
Judie, Hope you get good results and are home by Christmas Eve!! I know it's tomorrow ... praying for the best!
Lolly, will gladly give you some of our snow if you would send us some of your temps. A deal?
I'm trying to smell the cinnamon but my nose must be stuffy, can't smell a thing.
... later
Getting very sleepy here. I will have much to do tomorrow, but at least I don't have to make the trip to the mall.
That is quite a menu Chrissy has! So many varieties of potatoes. I feel full just reading it all.
Lynne, your tree is very pretty!!! Think I saw a few presents, too! Did Santa come already??? LOL--I've got everything there, too.
Goodnight, Judie. We will be anxiously waiting to hear what you find out.
Mom and Sis' box hasn't come yet....will have to call PO in the morning.they've left boxes sit in the back w/o putting notices out on the route before!
I have been lurking every so often.
Still finding some little things that need to be done.
Lynn - Hubby and I and 2 of our children and their families attend Mass at 4pm. When we come home the other children are arriving. Prepared food is set on the table and dinner is ready. Everyone is bringing food - hubby and I just made some desserts and the famous Pineapple-Carrot Salad with cream cheese dressing.
Looks nice with all the gifts! Even though we had "lean" budget this year we found some inexpensive, useful, thoughtful gifts that I think will be appreciated! Your tree is beautiful too! I still think Loretta's looks like a bald eagle.
Jo, everything sound so delicious!
Well, I thought I'd fall asleep in that chair!!
Didn't get chance to do anymore w/pics yet~~~oh well. Tomorrow is baking day. Making fruit nut breads. Was planning a first--go to a festive restaurant for Xmas, but it might be ice and rain. Got invite to stepson's G'ma's!
Gotta do some emails.
Loretta I love the shining star, what a beautiful idea, and I agree with Lynne, I think that one tree does look like an eagle !
Everyone that is checking out,
Good Night and God Bless, rest well and sleep peacefully....
everyone still up and running around, well, don't stay up all night!
Night Margy...hope work is uneventful tonight!
Think I'm heading for bed soon...prayers for all and Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
That sure sounds better than a restaurant, Loretta!!!
Jo, sure would like your recipe for the carrot salad. I'm the only one who likes it, so stopped making it---mine was just grated carrots, pineapple, raisins, S&P and mayo.
Hedgie -
Chrissy's menu sounds
dee-lightful. With all that cooking going on, think they will be okay without a central heating system for a few days, (which has been on the fritz for a couple of months now....) sounds like they are managing okay anyway with adjustments...
Hey! Has anyone seen that gorgeous Moon tonight? starting to set now in the west, maybe you can catch a glimpse of it
My kitchen has the most magnificent aroma, from a Ginger Peach candle...gift from a dear friend. Makes it seem as though I have been cooking.
Jo
Your evening tomorrow night, sounds so wonderful!
Bet that early Mass is the Children's Mass, isn't it?
Almost bedtime, so I thought I'd better get on here before everyone goes to bed.
I have read back over most of the blog and have really enjoyed reading about all your plans and cooking and baking. Now, I am feeling inadequit because I'm not baking anything. I don't dare...remember, I can't boil water!
Hope Judie just needs a simple adjustment...maybe a little nip here or a tuck there:)
Glad most of you that have been feeling "poorly" are doing better now.
Went to GG's today and she was so sore and couldn't figure out why. I reminded her that she shoveled snow twice this week and forgot to take her pain meds last night! Gave her some right away and she was feeling better about 30-45 mins. later.
Need some sleep.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
'Night Lynne, and thanks, since I've been off for several days, hard to tell what is going to be in my Inbox ! :(
Six hours, will go lightning fast though I think.
Good Night Wanda, and
I will surely miss PA NANA and Nilla tonight, have really enjoyed the late night soirees with them ☺
Wanda, I have not baked a thing either. Used to do dozens and dozens of cookies
Have a good shift, Margy:)
My biggest gaffe and regret of the season though is that I did not get the cemetery arrangements out to my parents' and a few special persons' gravesites before the snow buried everything. Did get my sister's out though, thank goodness. Well, maybe something for the New Year for them instead.
Wanda, I haven't baked anything either! Been trying to fit in Chocolate Chip cookies but my days are getting by me! Maybe tomorrow...
Well, dear friends, it is almost Christmas Eve! Dragging this tired body to the tub and then to bed. See you tomorrow! Rest well. Have lovely dreams! Peace and prayers.
Good Night Precious Pals, time to find the fairy and get ready for work.
See you in the Morning...
God Bless Us, Every One
I think I am ready to call it a day...
It is a children's Mass Margy - in fact they have 2 children's Masses. I get to take jingle bells and ring them
for the Gloria! I take extra for any small children who may not have them.
I wanted to bake BUT I couldn't have eaten them like I would have wanted to when they are warm out of the oven. Blood sugar count would have sky rocketed. I am praying that the temps rise for Christmas eve & day - so may family gatherings and we need safe travels.
Good Night All !
Peace all over the world!
Prayers for all especially for Judie's
Dr appointment tomorrow....
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
I am happy Dana has her tree up!
Christmas Eve Eve is almost over!
Nite to all those heading to bed.
Today I prepared the dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes. (Working around the man installing the U-verse) Tomorrow is baking two apple pies, one pecan pie, another pumpkin roll and corn bread dressing. Yes, we have turkey and dressing all over again. It is Jack's favorite meal.
Jack and I will be alone tomorrow night. We will go to a candle light service in the evening. Expect Laurel and family late Christmas morning. We have fun opening presents and then have dinner. Laurel's mother in law will be with us for dinner as well.
Michael is at his home in Dallas. They are having Ashley's family with them this Christmas. We will all get together some time next week to have Christmas with Michael. Next Christmas Michael and family will be here Christmas Eve. They alternate...Laurel is here every year.
Temp here is now down from 75 to 57. House is still open, hard to believe snow tomorrow.
AP Coach of the Year....Coach Patterson.....TCU!! Fantastic!
