MORNIN' THELMA!---You are an early riser!---Have you forgiven me for calling you T-DOG!---You can call me 'DUMB NORMA'---OK?---ho!---Stay COOL!---& PRAY the snow has stopped!---& YOU ARE WELL!!!---Blue skies & sunny am here!!

stronghunter said...

Oh, split!!

Knew it was about time.

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning all!

Happy Birthday Lolly! Love your pictures from the Grand Canyon! You must be having a ball transferring all of your slides!

Welcome back Eggcited! Sounds like you've had a rough time of it....please check in when you can and I hope you are mending!

I decided yesterday that Daisy has settled in well enough now and serious training is underway. I am getting her used to wearing a "Haltie Lead" which goes around her head and nose softly but doesn't interfere with her being able to open her mouth at all...sort of the same principle as a horse halter. This will help with her leash manners and heeling, and also keep her from pulling when we walk. We are just using it in the house right now for very short sessions. Outside she's still on the long leash and regular collar. I have also started to use the squirt bottle....it's working very well with the cat situation. It allows me to not have to directly interfere so I can remain CALM and she doesn't realize it's coming from me and it's working like a charm. She is becoming much calmer around the cats now. Also, we are using small treats to reward her with along with happy voices and affection when we call her to come. I started when she was just a few feet away, and now we can call her from anywhere in the house and she comes running! We'll be working on that outside on the leash today when Steve gets home from work. I think once I decided to calm down, she did as well. We had a blast in the snow yesterday!!

T-Bird said...

Of course I have Normabyrd. It's all gravy.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' SHIRLEY!---I have been missing you in the am---I envy your taking classes---I had planned to do that when I retired!----I am enjoying the W/CTR!--but I don't think this old 'bode' has improved!!---ho!

stronghunter said...

Classes are interesting, but I shouldn't have waited until this year to do them all. I think something in my brain wanted me to retire this year, but I believe I should not put myself in the position of having to retire. I still have to earn bunches of points to get my certificate renewed.

stronghunter said...

Oh, excuse me, good morning, Norma!

normabyrd said...

WOW!---LYNN2---Can't tell you how happy I am to hear DAISY has stolen your heart!!---and STEVE'S too!!----YUP!--Those eyes will get you every time!!--(you know there will be times when you may want to kill her)---kiddin!!

stronghunter said...

Lynne, so happy that your doggie is improving! Sounds you know what to do for proper training.

normabyrd said...

BWE---BEAUTIFUL EAGLE IN NEST!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

I am so missing sitting here watching the nest with my morning cup of coffee!!

normabyrd said...

T-BIRD---Have they predicted snow today in your area?----Just heard our weather--teens & twenties!--What a surprise!! ho!--All the SKI RESORTS in WV are doing well!!That's a plus!!---

paula eagleholic said...

Lynne - Sounds like a good plan with Daisy! I have used the spray bottle for training as well! Don't have to use it anymore!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA!!---Thanks for the upday on fixing the nest, etc---I love SNOOPY!---ho!---I still read that cartoon every am!----LUCY is 'COOL' too!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Tbird Shirley and Norma!

normabyrd said...

UNCOOL NORMA meant---'UPDATE'!

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Birthday to Youuuuu!
Happy Birthday to Youuuuu!
Happy Birthday dear Lolly
Happy Birthday to Youuuuu!


Love the pictures of you and Jack camping!

normabyrd said...

FINNY---MORE SNOW!

Lynne2 said...

It's time for some dancing with Snoopy!

I read that NBG will be back online Wed!! And little Azalea is in North Carolina!! Made me wonder where our Hidey is now...

I'm off to run some errands...have a good day everyone!

normabyrd said...

AMAZING!---All the FLAMINGOS that are out enjoying this warm 'steamy' am at the NZOO!---& the ducks darting in & out!!

T-Bird said...

No Normabyrd, no snow predicted. Morning Paula.

normabyrd said...

LYNN2---I don't know where 'HIEDY' is---but where ever SHE is----she is RUNNING the SHOW!!!----OUR 'HEIDY'--just DOES NOT take orders!---(oh--i so love her--she is one cool EAGLET)---'YOU GO GIRL'!

grannyblt said...

Morning all from SUNNY western PA. at least for the moment.

Happy Birthday Lolly

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---I bet I know what your 'BIRTHDAY WISH' might be!!!
'BIG D'-----

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' GRANNYBLT!---We have BRIGHT SUNSHINE too!---pray it stays around all day!!---Always great to hear from you!!

hedgie said...

Good morning, eagle dudettes and dudes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR LOLLY,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!

And many, many more!


Loved your pictures, gal! You and Jack were a good-looking couple even then!!!

hedgie said...

Oh, Lynne, I am so glad that things are getting better with Daisy. I nearly cried when you were thinking it was going to work out. SOunds like you are taking the right approaches on all fronts!!! Yippee!!!

Thelma----how's everything in Bedford? Are YOU going on another TRAIN ride, too???

Lolly, I am having a lot of fun with the slide conversion, too! I may post a couple,too, at some point!!

hedgie said...

Oops---that should have read "when you thought it WASN'T going to work out"!!!
Duh---fingers faster than brain.

Hi, Grannyblt! Are you snowed under??

Norma, did you see where we may qualify for two new state senators after the census this year?

hedgie said...

Oh, my, single digit temps by tomorrow morning....brrrrrr.

stronghunter said...

Tom, Kathryn, and Hunter are headed to Luray for yet another family Christmas celebration. This is for Tom's mother's family.

Mema Jo said...

Good Saturday Morning and
Many greetings to Lolly for her special day! Enjoy the family gathering!

NatureNut said...

Good Sunny Morning Everyone!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLLY!!!!!hAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!

Sorry I didn't join everyone last night```got home & chilled, falling asleep in lounge chair as usual!
I should go to store, but was told that the car I'm left with has a locking problem. When you're in, it automatically locks, but you can't get out by opening the handle. One of 2 buttons on door panel unlocks it from inside! I may spend the weekend at Tarjay!!!

Mema Jo said...

Not planning any outings today unless the temps go up a few degrees by 5:00 so that I can get out to Mass.
I have a very large pot of chili stewing now!
Daisy - I was so hoping she would work out for you Lynne and Steve. Sounds like it's starting!

Mema Jo said...

Loretta - I have a button in my Toyota that I sometimes accidentally push and no one can get out and then another works that no one can put a window up/down. lol

magpie said...

So Frank made his trek for the new old car did he?
Okay, Loretta, I guess if you get locked in you could call 9-1-1 but they might have to use a center punch to break the window and get you out !!

Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s

magpie said...

What a happy post from Lynne2 regarding the progress with Daisy ☺

magpie said...

the automatic windows and locks are so convenient, but I cringe when I think of something going wrong with them!

glo said...

Happy Birthday Lolly Yeah Daisy

magpie said...

Was watching Pix Pa, the camera got covered, the bloggers suggested maybe the snow was being swept off the deer at the carcass site...guess that would make sense. I like that site but is soooo unfriendly to my computer...

magpie said...

Good Morning Glo ☺

magpie said...

anyone on here use paperweights?

Just a curious question

magpie said...

I am hoping that when Lynne has a break in the action, she can post some pictures of Daisy

Best wishes for a great day for everyone, hoping that Wellness is Swelling in ALL our Eagle corners....
xoxox ♥

magpie said...

I'm going to head out and check on the Canada Geese at the creek site and see what's up with them...
then I got a pile of home chores to take care of !!

Lolly
Happy Birthday once again...

Enjoy your day with Laurel and the boys....and Jack, and everything else that goes with the travel package ! xo ☺ ♥

Mema Jo said...

Oh Loretta - be sure to take your cell phone with you if you venture out!

magpie said...

And along with that wish for wellness goes a lot of prayers to try to help boost it along....
Good to see you, my Eagle Friends this morning...
and hope to see more of you later on...

Mits passed along a report that there are two eggs at Dunedin now, and there were sub-freezing temperatures there overnight...
Thanks Mits!

Wonder when Cape Coral birds will make their eggs ?

Eggcited When you peek in again, my other name is "Margy" ☺

NatureNut said...

I planned if I get locked in, to open a window. I could unlock it from outside door w/key. The push button on keychain fob doesn't work! It's a Chevy H? saomething--looks similar to PT Cruiser.
Was looking at pics from friend in Utah. She just retired as elem. science teacher & they have a farm. Big time snow!
Oh well, need more coffee.

hedgie said...

Margy, I HAVE paperweights but don't use them!! Mine are just decorative pass-downs from my grandparents.

Lolly said...

Good morning! What a fantastic day this has already been! Thank you to everyone for the wishes!!!

i have already received several phone calls and one that really made my day!!! It is a long story, but let it be known that the phone call was an answer to prayer.

I love it..have gone from being 30 to now...21. Let's just leave it at that. lol

Yes, Norma, have to say it....GO
COWBOYS!

Had a friend have a ruptured appendix Monday morning. She was in surgery 3 hours and came home last night. Going with another friend in a few hours to take her a meal. So, to the kitchen I go. Was not in my plans for today, but thankful I do have the time before going to Denton and thankful Brenda is doing well.

Yes, having fun with the slide conversion. Really excited about it.

Margy, the stick in Jack's hand was to make his mule move. We were on the ride down into the canyon. I think our trailboss had given it to him. lol (And as I remember, I would have liked to have used that stick on the trailboss!) LOL

hedgie said...

Loretta, HHR! Can't be old enough to be out of warranty, is it???
I finally think it's time to undo the security settings of doors and windows that I've kept for the grandgirls for all these years.

magpie said...

Oh Lolly, Glory Day !
Yes, magical things happen every moment.....will look forward to the longer story.
Like Andrea's e-card said:
Every day is a miracle,
and brings an opportunity for Blessings, received, and given...

well that is kinda paraphrased...

Yay for Brenda, and know she will cherish your home-cooked meal ♥

Okay, Hedgie...got your answer...

all bundled up with camera and snacks to go, see you all later ☺
xo

magpie said...

speaking of glory, BWE is getting lots of Eagle roostings today, like right now for instance

Mema Jo said...

Baltimore zoo - Pengins have been kept inside BUT the lonely seagull is still waiting patiently for them and their food. He is such a large seagull. I bet he misses his little friends.

Mema Jo said...

It is mid JAN and within a few weeks we should see an egg at BWE.

stronghunter said...

Too cold for penguins?

hedgie said...

Laundry is perking....keep thinking I should start putting away Christmas, but don't really feel up to that big of a job...would rather work on slides. So that is what I'm going to do---if I can stay off the phone! Girls are talkative today, and I DO need to call my mama! BBL.

floralgirl said...

Whenever I see a lone gull at the mall, I wanna bring him home!

Lolly said...

Yes, Lynn, call your Momma. That is what I miss most...calling my Momma. We were 500 miles apart but that is what I did every evening. Around supper time every evening, I still have the urge to call her. I do....via a different line. ☺

Bob Quinn said...

First pics from the new camera of two of our cats:

Cats

Lolly said...

Fantastic pictures, Bob. I am a cat person and those are wonderful. Amazing camera...amazine photographer!

I am having fun now. For years we took slides. Now I am changing them over to digital. A big job, but fun.

paula eagleholic said...

Nice, Bob, lots of detail! Can se the tastebuds on kitty's tongue!

I am getting some Christmas put away, will tackle the tree tomorrow...

paula eagleholic said...

BTW, Lolly, the quality is very nice on the conversion from slide to digital!

stronghunter said...

Nice kitty pictures, Bob.

Lynne2 said...

Great pictures Bob!! One rarely gets to see what the roof of a cat's mouth looks like! They are really cute....How is Sarah's toe?

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks. I noticed the taste buds too. Hopefully I'll get to try it at BW tomorrow. Is the gang at Conowingo today?

Mema Jo said...

Hi Bob - trip is planned for next Sat 16th.


I just had my call from Germany Gang
Everything is good!

I need to read back and view Bob and Sarah's cats......

Mema Jo said...

The pics of the cats are great - makes you feel like you could just reach out and stroke them. I am a cat lover!

Mema Jo said...

I just remembered that I did read the paper this morning but I did forget to follow up on my emails.

Once again:
Happy Birthday Lolly

Anne-Marie said...

Good Morning all, just got the security system finally fixed on the computer. Wouldn't let me into facebook or here. Every time I tried I got security warning and it would shut me down. Hope everyone is doing well and Happy Birthday Lolly. Its 10:30 here and I haven't done a thing.

Anne-Marie said...

Beautiful Bob and very clear. Wish I was closer so I could take lessons from you.

Mema Jo said...

Hey There Anne Marie! Miss you!
Hope things are well for you and that 2010 will be good to you!
Daughter, Jenny, just finishing up a cruise to Bahamas and guess what NO CAM I'll never forget following you
to Alaksa! ((hugs))

hedgie said...

Thanks for showing us the kitties with the new camera, Bob. Very nice, indeed!
Why not join us for Conowingo next Sat.??

paula eagleholic said...

Eewwiie at BWO

hedgie said...

Hi, A-M. Sorry you had puter problems, but glad it's fixed now! How's your weather???? Warmer than ours, I hope!

Jo, have Germany kids found out where next duty station will be????

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - Germany gang hasn't had the meeting yet. When they find out location of next assignment it probably wouldn't happen until Jan 11, 2011 - one more year. But they are hoping it would be much sooner - sometime this year.

Bob Quinn said...

Happy Birthday to Lolly!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

♪♫HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

wvgal_dana said...

Happy Birthday Lolly !!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

ANybody no of a place to get fried oysters and other good seafood?

Anne-Marie said...

sorry I had Brandon at the door. Its soap box derby time and he wants to use my paints in the craft room to jazz up his creation. Its cool, rain and about 50 here.

Judie said...

Hey Jo, take it carefully if you go to Mass. Know you enjoyed hearing from the Germany gang.

Lynne, glad the water bottle is working. I like that technique because animals don't associate the bad with the person.

Loretta, if you get to Tarjay, pick up some SHEETZ in case you need them for a TRAIN ride -- who knows, maybe Sharon will want to share Pat with you.

Lolly, love the pictures. Hope your weather warms up. My Sheriff friend said she had to get out a sweat shirt -- LOL.

Hi A-M and where's Eggcited today? Hi Shirley and Thelma and Paula and Megan.

Lynn, easy today. Hope the vapor bath helped and you're feeling better.

Bob, hope Sarah's managing. Off to look at your pictures.

BBL

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Hubby & I are back from our weekly pilgrimage to Wally World and Tarjay. Got the outside Christmas lights down and packaged up for next year.
Hubby says to get going--we're gonna go see 'Sherlock Holmes'--movie review to follow later. Better run, or he'll go without me!
LOLLY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, once again!
And many, many, MANY more!
Have a great Saturday, everyone!
Later.... :o]

Anne-Marie said...

BarBQ oysters at the bay not too far from me. :)

Judie said...

Good grief: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLLY. Do hope you've had a wonderful day and will have a great time at Laurel's with Jospeh and Jacob.

Anne-Marie said...

I cant get the cam or the still image. are they both down?

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Anne Marie, it's finally up to 34° here...heat wave!

paula eagleholic said...

YUP, See Steve's posts on the front of the blog the last couple of days.

stronghunter said...

Hi, Judie.

I'm working my way through the rest of the senior research papers today. It is a struggle.

Anne-Marie said...

34, Yikes

stronghunter said...

We've made it to 37%, above freezing, but lots of snow still around.

stronghunter said...

degrees, not %

stronghunter said...

I propose a road trip to Ann-Maries. I want some of those oysters.

Anne-Marie said...

Ok everyone, I have plenty of room and I can always put more water in the pea soup. :)

Anne-Marie said...

going to help with that soap box car. BBL

magpie said...

Howdy there beautiful Anne-Marie....I Love pea soup, put some more water in it !

Good to see you ! xo

stronghunter said...

My youngest brother won the Soap Box Derby in Greensboro, N. C. and went Akron. He did well there before he crashed.

magpie said...

The Canada Geese I saw the other day, evidently WERE REAL - because they were not there anymore...

creek at Swanging Bradge more icy and snow-covered, saw some great sets of paw prints, probably muskrat, and maybe, beaver or raccoon, I am not very good at my paw print identification....


Good Middle Part of the Day wishes to everyone...

magpie said...

So, where is Costume Lady today....?

magpie said...

Those Bob Quinn Cat Photos are great!
I think Bob could or should produce a cat calendar and retire from the proceeds ☺

magpie said...

So, Shirley....did he get hurt?
bet the soap box buggy was dinged up

movin said...

Diego was just dangling on the end of a branch of the climbing structure, and then he dropped like a stone ... right on his butt.

Hahahaha.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Jim There he goes
Right back up !

Mema Jo said...

Jim I think I am looking at Su Lin....... not Diego..... right?

magpie said...

neighbor lady visit
back in awhile.
xo

stronghunter said...

Just ran into a wall. No damage that I recall. There was a picture in the paper.

Mema Jo said...

I haven't seen Wanda - Maybe she is out getting the Eagle Express ready for your trip next Saturday! I hope everything is ok

Mema Jo said...

Time for me to break!

BBILW

stronghunter said...

Funny, Ann-Marie. I just finished off a bowl of pea soup. Very comforting on a cold day.

hedgie said...

Dana, Four Seasons out on Moler Ave. is probably your best bet.

Lolly said...

Once again I want to say THANKS for all the birthday wishes.

Have taken a meal to Brenda. She is really doing well. PTL Now we are heading to Denton.

I will be back late this evening. You guys are the greatest and I do appreciate your thoughtfulness!

BBL

hedgie said...

Have a fun celebration, Lolly!! You sure do deserve the best!!

stronghunter said...

See you later, Lolly. Enjoy!

movin said...

yES, Mema Jo (some time ago),
They have been switching the scene between cameras and between enclosures at SD.

Right now they are back on Bai and Diego though.

Wonder what's wrong with that camera that it always looks like heavy fog there??


C(°?°)3

Jim

Mema Jo said...

I am in the kitchen making some corn bread to go with our chili
I bet Lib & Belle are at the nest getting ready to turn the night light on.... It is staying light out much longer now! That means Spring is on it's way LOL

BBILW

floralgirl said...

Both eagles in the nest at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

GF and her hubby coming over for drinks and snacks...late Christmas get together.

paula eagleholic said...

BWE eagles are gone

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, I went to make corn muffins the other night and didn't have enough cornmeal! Had to have cheddar garlic biscuits instead!

Mema Jo said...

That sure sounds like a good yummy compromise, Paula!

NatureNut said...

Hello! I managed to get from home to Tarjay & back! Car unlocks itself as soon as you turn off motor! So there. Lots of little ifiot lights come on tho, but doesn't mean there's a problem. I read the book & Fubby called & the reason it tells you your tires are low is because he added air & the contain some other inflation material!
I had been working on deets & geese pictures, but we've seen lots of them. I took 20!!Now that I can blow them up, I can tell that one of the boys WAS Spot, Jr. He has a prong? missing from one horn.If I were mean, I would send one to neighbor & say this is how I like to see them. Maybe they'd take down the head that's been hanging from a tree for 2 weeks! I won't go out back & try not to look out kitchen window.

Mema Jo said...

So glad your car travels didn't end up needing to cal 911 ! Always helps to read the book - right? Loretta - when you stopped the car - did you hold your breath until you heard the locks 'click' open.

Costume Lady said...

We finally made it back home...
Left early this morning to go to Hagerstown to do a little shopping and what before my wandering eyes did appear?...on I-81, we saw a long shiny object flying from car to car, in front of us. I suspected it might be CEIL'S decoration that got away from her, so I told Gene to "FOLLOW THAT SHINY OBJECT"! Well, we followed it all the way to Shoneys Restaurant...went inside and WOW, there it was! Look on my JUST FOR FUN, Ceil, and tell me if that belongs to you!;)

stronghunter said...

Amazing, Wanda. It does look like the one I saw fly by!

hedgie said...

Loretta, understand how you feel. One of my favorite cartoons is of a deer holding a rifle, and MEN hanging from trees!!!
Glad your trip was uneventful!! Find any sheetz at Target??? They had a good sale on them earlier!!

hedgie said...

Wow, UConn womens' b-ball on 54th consecutive win!!! Poor UNC losing 47-88 with seconds left.

T-Bird said...

Yes UConn does rock Hedgie.

magpie said...

Anyone ever been shed antler-hunting?
Maybe, Captain Gene has done some of this...looking for shed deer antlers when they start dropping...experts say it is like morel mushroom hunting, once you find one, it gets a lot easier, but not easy when there is snow on the ground!
You have to try to find them before the squirrels and other critters scarf them up for the nutrients they contain

Good Evening everyone...
Hi again Wanda ☺

magpie said...

Hey there Thelma!
Once again, we are seldom on at the same time !!

Feeling 100% yet ?
Sure hope so !

magpie said...

When Lynne2 posted a week ago about a shiny silver object hitting her windshield, I was not with the program yet and felt so badly that something dangerous had happened! Now, I know!

magpie said...

Never made it to neighbor lady's earlir, she was napping then I did !
so time to catch up on that..

bbl but not too much "l" I hope
xo

Costume Lady said...

Margy called to see if everything was alright on the Wright Ranch, just as I finished my comment on where we were today:)
Bless her heart, she always makes sure we are OK...she's our guardian angel;)

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Jo, we do have fun. Wish Ceil would let us know if that is her decoration that I saw today. I guess it doesn't matter now, that little girl probably was traveling to who knows where. If she throws it out the window, it could land in the ocean and float all the way to Chrissy's;)

stronghunter said...

NEW THREAD!!!

Costume Lady said...

Right now, the weather looks really good for our CONOWINO trip next Saturday. Megan, Dana, Nilla, Paula, Bob & Sarah, Shirley, Judie, Lynne, Diann...LET'S GO!!:)
