It takes a while longer to load a cannon then just to pull the trigger on a shot gun..

Lolly said...

Okay, you only have to stay up 40 more minutes to help me celebrate. LOL

Ha, Jo! If it was MY cannon, I would have had it loaded and primed in advance!!!!

grannyblt said...

Happy New Year to all. I missed the celebrations--got in bed early to get comfy, then it was 4am !!

Ms Bookworm said...

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!
Wishing and praying for many blessings for all of you in 2011!!!

Getting here very, very late. Fell asleep with Emma in front of the TV!

DID wake up in time to see TRAIN perform on New Years Rockin' Eve!!!
CHOO, CHOO!!!!

Spent nearly all day in the kitchen yesterday, vooking. Made PTL Split Pea Soup! Haven't had it in a long time, and just seemed like a good idea. It's SOOOO cold here!!! Low temp in the high 30s with wind, but, thank GOD, supposed to get to 60 on the first day of our new year!

Hubby went shopping and got Emma a new, warm corduroy doggy coat yesterday. I KNEW she'd wrap him around her little paw! She has been getting better and better about nipping, so has had more "lap time" with us--I think she's made the connection. One smart pup! It has nearly killed me when I have had to discipline her strongly, but it's working big time. She has very tender feelings, so have to make a HUGE fuss over her and give lots of love when she's good. She knows now that when she behaves and doesn't nip she gets more one-on-one time with us.

Ms Bookworm said...

To answer some of the earlier comments, I think pork and sauerkraut is a German tradition. My maternal Grandma was German/Irish, and therefore, my family always had that for New Year's.

Oh--Dana, I agree that it was a Cooper's Hawk. Too big for a Sharp-Shinned, IMHO. BTW, I never tried a doggy treat, but hey, might be worth a try! :oD Emma has some that are Apples and Yogurt flavor!

Oh, Hubby had to drive up to our house in the High Desert yesterday. We got a letter from the gas company up there just Thursday saying that they had TURNED OFF THE GAS~~ON NOVEMBER 22ND!!! Hubby called their emergency service number, got someone out there, and got an explanation. During the summer, we turn the air cond. off and have the thermostat set on "heat" so we won't have super high utilities bills. The heat's lowest setting is 45 degrees, so when COLD weather hit in November, the heat kept going on (as we wanted it to!), and there was a HUGE jump in number of therms used. The computer that watches over all of this at the Gas Company panicked, thinking there was a major gas leak, so they turned off service! NOT good, since they didn't contact us until NOW! THANK GOD, we DIDN'T have a frozen pipe burst! The guy came out and relit the pilot lights, so now we're good to go. Need to have the flat roof there looked at, though. Too much standing water frozen on it! Have a call in to the roofing company. Will probably hear from them on Monday. They can go work on the roof (Think it's still under warranty) without us being there, I think. Phew!

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, think I'll head back to slumber land. Emma gets me up pretty early, so need to sleep while I can! Will be back later, after we're home from feeding the bulldogs. Please say some prayers that Sis-in-law and Bro-in-law are able to get home from Tahoe all right! Snow up to their eyeballs there! We're due for more possible rain here at home, too. DRAT!

Making sure the night light and porch light are on. Have said prayers for everyone. The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sleep tight!
Will be back later to chat. Love all of you! :o]

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY BLOGGER FRIENDS!

I guess we are all wondering when our nest cam will be fixed. Even though we can't see Lib and Belle, we know they are OK and working on their nestorations. With all that soft fluff, I'm wondering if they are done with the big lumber?

For those of you who are not on Facebook, I have posted a new slideshow/video from our Trail Cam. This is my favorite one, so far. No bears or anything like Bigfoot, but it's nice.
On Wild and Wonderful.

magpie said...

Fantastic Cam Trail video Wanda and Gene ....love all the animals !

Today is Polar Bear Plunge day in Williamsport MD, all proceeds to to the Washington County, MD Humane Society...

Sunday is Audubon Society Bird Winter Bird Count Day hereabouts

Happy New Year...
Good Morning, and
Good Night !

Best wishes for a good day, everyone

God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥

glo said...

Good Morning everyone and Happy New Year Off to see Wanda's Trail Cam :-)

magpie said...

We were plenty busy at 911 but nothing terribly serious....could have been worse and has been in past years


go back for another midnight shift tonight....

'Night

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning my dear dear Eagle Friends on this 1st day of the New Year 2011.

I pray everyone is doing well. Those that need prayers have them.
So does our still and live cams.

wvgal_dana said...

I just had the scare of my life. I had let Little Man out and doing laundry and fixing my breakfast. So my mind was full of things.

The front door was open and yes the yard is fenced. If someone doesn't break the up and down pieces. Anyhow I waited and the door and no Little Man. I'm there at the door calling and calling.
I finally put my shoes on. Moved stuff that blocks steps and made my way down. Still calling...finally into the back yard and he is no where. I am calling and looking around for a broken area he could have gotten out. No area he could have gotten out. Then my mind went into over-load, "Someone has taken him!!" I go back into the house look on the couch and their are the most BEAUTIFUL EYES LOOKING UP AT ME I went to him and put my arms around him and cried and cried happy tears. I must have let him in and left the door open even though screen door locked. I just never do that. I am so BLESSED THAT HE WAS IN HERE == Thank you GOD!

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

It sounds like everyone had fun last night. I went to bed soon after midnight. Kathryn and I ushered in the new year together. Hunter didn't quite make it.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Shirley first time my Mother was up and we called and wished each other a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wanda thank you for posting your trail cam over here. It really helps to get to see it. Great ( :

hedgie said...

Morning all. Been lurking while reading papers and playing with Mai.
Margy, hope you and Carolyn have a good shift together tonight! Sleep well today!

Shirley, you deserted us yesterday!! Hope everything is ok!

Dana, I often "lost" Cinnamon in the house----she blended into the sofa when she got on top of the cushioned back! Mai blends with the carpet!! Know that panicky feeling!

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Hedgie-Lynn Oh thank you for telling me it has happened to you too. I thought I was truly loosing my mind. Thank you Thank you Lynn ( : Yes I feel you do know that panic I went though. Your so sweet and again thank you for sharing your experience. It did help and does.

wvgal_dana said...

So Margy and Carolyn have a shift together tonight. Is this the first time they have worked together at same time?

stronghunter said...

I went to get a knee x-ray, a haircut, and did some shopping yesterday, Lynn. I came home and crashed for awhile.

wvgal_dana said...

The eagle Mema Jo gave at the 2011 Dinner I found laying over on the table this AM. I think all the cards and stuffed eagles came to life during my sleeping night. Mema Jo's eagle must have had too much to drink because I had to put him right side up LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Shirley I liked your new avatar.

Keep us informed about your xray report.

wvgal_dana said...

Such beautiful color on the eagles4kids nest. The snow on the ground and a little in the nest. WOW what color!!

wvgal_dana said...

Andy I was going to tell you several time you can stop writing about the thumb print.....but with my right eye acting up...THANK YOU FOR LEAVING IT THERE SO I CAN GET THROUGH THE SECURITY ( :

Lolly said...

Good morning and Happy New Year! Jack is still asleep but I have been up for a while and read the paper.

Going to watch the parade that starts in 40 minutes and then the game is this afternoon at 4:00. Have my shirt on! It has a TCU horned frog on it with a long stem rose in his mouth! Go Frogs!

glo said...

Dana Your scare with Little Man makes me cry too. I can so relate. Dex got lost and confused in his own back yard last summer and couldn't find him until I went clear around the corner of the garage which is hard to explain how he even got in there but he surely couldn't find his way out. It was that day that I stopped letting him even go into his own back yard alone. It just is either way too hot or way too cold where I live to have him out any extended period of time anyway. He has gotten confused in the house a couple of times but just barks for me to help him find his way back to wherever. Not near as scary as when they are outside or you think they are and you can't find them. Glad all is well. Hug Little Man again for me and I will hug Dex :-)

hedgie said...

Naptime for Mai!
I moved some older wood over under cover....while she noticed and just watched a squirrel. First time I've seen her see a critter.....not curious or excited; just watchful! She didn't even bark. Cinnamon, on the other hand, would have been chasing it and then lose sight of it and keep looking for a long time!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning this first day of 2011 !
Dana, those panic attacks make you realize how important something is to you. I have had a few, too.
I am so frustrated this morning as I have Hotmail and my whole screen is purple and although I have 17 new messages, I can't bring any of them up!
Lynn, would you spread the word..Thanks

I want to go and look at the Trail Cam
I didn't do it last evening on FB
BBILW

hedgie said...

Shirley, how is the knee feeling? Does he think you tore something or maybe chipped th patella? I did that when I was in high school when I fell on ice! The chips got behind the kneecap and irritated the meniscus badly----ended up having to have surgery a year later. Glo will appreciate this: I did my OB rotation on crutches!!!!

Dana....maybe Little Man got up on the table to play with the eagle!

Lolly, because of my love for frogs, toads, and horned toads, as well as you, I will be routing for TCU this afternoon!!

Dana, I think Margy and Carloyn pulled some shift together when she was still in intensive training. And I 'm pretty sure they've shared a partial shift more recently....but, of course, like all of US, Carolyn loves being around her. Margy is our own energizer bunnie!!

Lolly said...

Thanks Lynn! I appreciate all support of TCU today! I am so jealous of those who are there. One friend, Patty, has been posting pics on fb with her phone. Looks like they had a fantastic pep rally yesterday and a rollicking TCU party last night. Oh, I wish I was there!

Lolly said...

Guess it will be another story in two years when TCU plays WV. LOL

hedgie said...

Parade Time!

hedgie said...

Lolly, I am not a WVU fan. When it comes to college ball, I only care about VA and MD and DC schools! If TCU plays WVU, I'll root for TCU! Sorry, West Virginians! I am NOT a native.

Mema Jo said...

I clicked on the right thing which I have no idea it was, but I have my hotmail back on line. I really don't mind changes as long as I know they're coming at me.........

wvgal_dana said...

Thank ALL of you for your helpful comments about your panic's with your special aniamal.

Need to get to tv and recliner for parade.

Just gave Beast lol he isn't a beast kind of dog at all!! Gave him bags of bones that Little Man can't eat now. Several not even open. He and his parents are happy to get them and the bones.

ok tv time

Love you ALL!!

hedgie said...

WhooHoo!!! There's the Frogs!!!!

Judie said...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

BLESSINGS AND WISHES FOR ONLY GOOD THINGS TO ALL THE EAGLE MOMSTERS AND DADSTERS IN 2011.

Fell down asleep last night. So, as usual, missed the big moment.

BEagle, congratulations. I know you will enjoy the new position -- and some additional $.

Darth was given culinary instructions this morning but will need to review later. His eyelids were heavy.

Checked out bear cam but all was quiet. Ours was still doing its line-dance.

Seems everyone is off to a great New Year's day. Continue to enjoy, please.

♥♥Love and hugs to all of you and thank you for our shared friendship.♥♥

Lolly said...

Did you see the TCU band? Go Frogs!

Lolly said...

Judie, read your comment. Scared me there for a second.."Fell down asleep". Was happy to see the asleep part!

hedgie said...

Nice looking band, Lolly!

Judie said...

Love the trail cam video, Wanda. Thanks to you and the Capt.

Back to bed for now.

Judie said...

Sorry, Lolly. Fell down (on the pillows) asleep. Didn't even think what the "fell down" part might imply.

Lolly said...

I was clapping and singing with the Fight Song and Deep in the Heart of Texas!!! It was exciting to see the band. Now look for the float!

stronghunter said...

My knee--I can move it without any problem, but if I touch it in certain places, it feels like I'm touching a raw nerve.
No bruising or anything. I don't know what is causing the problem. The primary care doc requested the x-rays.

stronghunter said...

Was thinking of you when I saw your band, Lolly.

Hunter and Kathryn took off awhile ago. I am about to get myself some lunch.

Yay! Western Carolina University. But the guy does not know how to pronounce Cullowhee. I went there for a summer for a chemistry class when I was in high school.

hedgie said...

JUDIE, JUDIE, JUDIE....you are not allowed to start with FELL DOWN!! Scared me, too!!, Happy New Year to you, too!!

stronghunter said...

We are about to break 500.

stronghunter said...

I just got wax!

stronghunter said...

No, we do not need Judie nor anyone else falling down, except to sleep.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley I hope the x-ray shows something and I hope it is only
temporary!

Mema Jo said...

Heading off to get some lunch.
BBILW

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Jo. I think it is getting better, but I wanted to have it checked. Have to look out for myself on this.

BEagle said...

Hello and Happy First Day of 2011.

There are two pretty eagles at the White Rock nest.

Very nice view.

http://www.wildearth.tv/hwf-whiterock-01

Mema Jo said...

BEagle they are beautiful
Glad you found them - Thanks

I'll get my lunch a little later....

BEagle said...

The eagles just hopped up to a branch above the nest. You can see them on cam 2.



http://www.wildearth.tv/hwf-whiterock-02

BEagle said...

Have not seen bear movement the few times I have checked this morn.

BBL

BEagle said...

Oh, forgot something.

The BWE is back up. It looks like something ws added to the nest.
No eagles though.

Not much eagle action. Not much bear action.

Haven't checked the moosies.

BBL....IMITT

BEagle said...

My furnace is to be launched today. Of course I thought is would be launched...what?....two weeks ago?

Praying for successful and safe begin.

BEagle said...

BBL....IRMITH

hedgie said...

Good luck with the furnace, BEagle---don't think launch is a very good term!!!! We don't want to hear about any BEagles being launched from an explosion or anything!

Shirley, there is a nerve that runs across the front of your knee.....and you probably bruised it. Hoping that is all it is.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok I did cry when the 911 float came by.

Seen the Frog Lolly ( :

Thanks BEagle got the close up in favorites and heard an eagle.

Going to place the 2nd cam in.

wvgal_dana said...

See the eagle at White Rock sitting up in tree on Wide Angle Cam #2.

wvgal_dana said...

What state is White Rock in?

wvgal_dana said...

Shirley if doctor finds nothing on xray about knee. Please PLEASE have him do an MRI---they show tears. You don't want this to go after everyting is settled and you have a problem.

Mema Jo said...

Neat to be able to use this url and get to select most of the cams we watch - even our bear cam.......

http://www.wildearth.tv/cams

BEagle said...

The White Rock is in Canada, BC, I think.

Here's the address for both cams on one page.

BEagle said...

http://www.hancockwildlife.org/staticpages/index.php/TwoCamWhiteRockOverWhiteRock

BEagle said...

Yes, I noticed the Lily and Hope cam is coming off the same page.

I needed a diversion while waiting for Belle and Lib.

Lolly said...

Dana, White Rock is in Canada, not the states. Read about its location in the info above the cams.

BEagle said...

White Rock is relatively close to the Hornby nest.

It is very close to the US border in Washington state, near Vancouver, BC.

The Hornby is further west where all the inlets are.

These eagles look young in comparison with Belle and Lib. They are nestorating a lot a the moment.

hedgie said...

Here is the message on the screen when I go to that url Beagle for both cams:

Access to this page is denied. Either the page has been moved/removed or you do not have sufficient permissions.

What the hey??

BEagle said...

Hum..that's odd Memajo. I pulled it up right away.

Try it again maybe?


http://www.hancockwildlife.org/staticpages/index.php/TwoCamWhiteRockOverWhiteRock

BEagle said...

Shucks. I mean Hedgie.

BEagle said...

Did you highlight the whole address, copy, and paste it in the address bar at the top?

hedgie said...

It has started sprinkling here. 45°.

BEagle said...

I am using Firefox.

BEagle said...

It is 62 degrees here and rainy.

BEagle said...

It doesn't look like Lily has budged one inch!

hedgie said...

Yes, BEagle, that's what I did.
Will try it again.

hedgie said...

Same result.

Mema Jo said...


WildEarth TV Menu page


I just popping in and if you still need this -go for it.

bbilw

BEagle said...

Hedgie, Can you pull up Cam 1 by itself?

hedgie said...

Forgot to tell y'all---all that tornado tragedy in MO was only two counties east of my mom and sis!
Mom said the alarm was going off almost constantly for several hours Th.

wvgal_dana said...

Judie Judie Judie--you just can't come on here using the word "fell"....ok. (:

Hope your soon feeling better and walking around---giving Frank a run for his money so to speak.

hedgie said...

When I use the page that has all the Hancock cams, I click on #1 cam and it brings up a page that has BOTH views. Address showing in the bar then is:

http://www.hancockwildlife.org/index.php?topic=White-Rock-Eagle1#CloseUp

hedgie said...

They are beautiful cams!! Color, it says infrared......just don't understand why ours is so different.

BEagle said...

Thanks MemaJo. That will work better. It is also a very nice focal point for many of the cams out there. Well, the Wild Earth ones.

hedgie said...

No one commented yesterday to my post about the bears.....so will repeat: only about 2 weeks until baby bear watch begins!!!!!
Can you believe it????????

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Mema Jo for that link.

Lynn glad you Mother and sister are ok. Bet it was scary hearing that alarm going off.

wvgal_dana said...

I love those Candy Cane Kisses....I have to monitor myself.

Lolly said...

That is hard to believe, Lynn. We will all be glued to the cam, as if I wasn't already!

I have been sitting here on my tush all day. Need to get up and move. It is 43 right now and Jack is building a fire. Going to get up and move as I will be sitting here for THE GAME!

NatureNut said...

HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! To all our eagle and other animal friends!
Did my outdoor part today by feeding Shorty a couple times. The birds come right behind him to get peanuts while he is "gardening"!
Got food vaking in the oven. Had to finally stop by to say Hello!!
Gotta get back to other stuff---BBL

hedgie said...

Very lazy day, Lolly. No sun, raining now. I haven't done anything, either, except empty the dishwasher and Windex the glass coffeetable top in the sunroom! And moved a cartload of wood.
I really feel like a nap is in order before the game comes on!!
BBL! GO FROGS!

stronghunter said...

Thanks for the baby bear reminder, Lynn. I will be watching as much as possible.

stronghunter said...

Busy time coming up with the end of the semester arriving. And, I will be trying to keep up with Susan's adventures.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Checking in quickly to let you know that Hubby and I are going to try to go to a movie today. Must go do some damage control with the hairdo--it's been windy here, altlhough seems better now. Think we can leave Emma in her crate safely for a couple of hours.

Had fun watching the Tournament of Roses Parade with Emma.

Dana, saw your post about Little Man. Know what you mean! HATE that panicky feeling that hits you! SOOO glad you found the little guy!

Will check back in later. :o]

Hummingbird drama...

Phoebe (looks like a younger lady this time to me) has pretty much finished her nest and has laid an egg this morning. But there are multiple reports of an intruder this morning.....

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

hedgie said...

Sleep won't come! Oh well.

Getting some sweet revenge. Both Michigan teams are getting BEAT badly in their bowl games. Love it! Always a sore point at work---all the MI people who transferred in thought that their teams were the best forever and ever, amen. Hah!!! Bet they are all crying in their beer today! I love it!

hedgie said...

Oh, Jim, sure hope that there is NOT an invasion this time. Poor hummers can't seem to get a break. Happy New Year to you, too!

Andy, Emma will be fine. What are you going to see? Have heard several excellent reports about The King's Speech!

hedgie said...

Shirley, hope Suzi can get a good internet connection down there so that she CAN stay in touch!!!
Gotta say, tho', t hat when Christie and Shannon were in Cancun, they couldn't....and to use the hotel puter cost BIG bucks. Their cells would not work, either. So Ecuador is probably not much better!

hedgie said...

Getting my pork today after all---in a fashion. Had a roll of sausage. Christie says Shannon always adds it to the beef when he makes chili.....so I did, too!

stronghunter said...

Susan has signed up for Skype, Lynn. Her brothers say that is the thing to do. And her teacher has advised them to buy a cheap cell phone when they get there. I hope one or the other will work. We will see.

stronghunter said...

Guess we will have pork tomorrow. I bought a roast, but Kathryn and I decided to wait until tomorrow to cook it.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn said that she thinks Susan will be able use Skype to talk to the family members who have iPhones.

stronghunter said...

We talked to Rus and Kathryn on regular phones many years ago when they were in Europe. Of course, they were staying in hotels. Nobody had cell phones then. It cost a bit, but wasn't too bad.

PA Nana said...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! At least I hope it's happier than 2010.

Baby sis (Eileen)visited today. They are heading back to Memphis tomorrow. Was glad she was able to come here. Not doing too good myself. Yes, Dana, took my meds.

Judie, you're bad for my blood pressure. reading your first post sent mine up 20 points. Glad to read later that you meant sleep. whew!

Lolly, watching Penn State now but the Rose Bowl will be on next. Hope your team wins.

Pork & sauerkraut is definitely a German dish. (PA Dutch) I broke tradition this year - turkey. Since we didn't have it for T-giving or Christmas, we'll start the new year with one. Teresa thinks that sacrilegious. :-)
Hope this gobbler brings us good luck.

... later

hedgie said...

Diann, so glad you got to see your sister. Too bad there wasn't more time for a visit. :(

Shirley, Skype is a great idea!!! And a local cell phone should do the trick!

PA Nana said...

BooHoo Penn State lost. Lolly hope your team has better luck.

Just remembered I have gifts to wrap. Tomorrow is my other family get together. I'm a last minute Annie... later

Okay, THE GAME starts soon! GO FROGS! Really appreciate all the supportive comments.

TCU has a group of girls (not the cheerleaders) called the TCU Showgirls. One of my kindergarten students is a sophmore at TCU and a member of the showgirls. Will be looking for her. Have several friends who have gone. I am jealous! Once again...GO FROGS!

Precious picture on your avatar, Diann....

See that BWE had to resort back to their "old" camera with the previous view.....maybe we'll see egg pips after all

sorry for their luck with the new camera though

Lynne2 said...

Popping in to say Happy New Year! We took dogs for a nice long walk today...what an adventure. I had a very embarrassing moment....more later.

I see the cam is still down. UGH.

Holy Moses JUDIE.......I read that post and my heart skipped a beat!!!

Shirley I'm so sorry about your knee problem :(

Dana, OMG I know that feeling...so glad Little Man is safe!

BEagle, congrats on the job! Now if the furnace works, too...WOO HOO!

Lynn, saw about the weather...so glad your family escaped with no problems.

Getting ready to fix some supper dinner....BBL

Lolly said...

Wahooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn, your comments about Michigan teams reminded me of our years in Columbus watching Woody Hayes and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Woody hated Michigan.

They said that he would not even buy gasoline when driving in the state, and sometimes almost ran out. Woody was a little strange.

stronghunter said...

I really think my knee is going to be okay.

stronghunter said...

Just finished vacuuming and scrubbing the family room carpet yet again. I do not know how these animals can have so much hair and make so many messes.

stronghunter said...

Okay, Lolly, I am watching the Rose Bowl. Need to rest a bit after all the vacuuming and scrubbing.

hedgie said...

Shirley, have you ever used a blue light to show all the "body fluids" on the carpet????? OMG! Talk about an eye-opening experience! Even before Cinnamon had accidents, it showed slobber residue, and what must have been wipe streaks where she had scooted on her butt! Sure glad carpet cleaners didn't use one!! Of course, it has to be dark, so....

TCU back on top!

Margy, I hadn't even looked at BWE---too bad about their cam, too.

hedgie said...

Did you sleep well today?? And do you go in tonight, too?

Mai just chewed open the seam of her doggie and pulled out stuffing. Don't know whether she will sleep without it----it's her favorite toy. Guess I'll get out needle and thread after dinner.

Cornbread is in the oven.

Oh-oh, Lynne....I sense a story coming on!!!

stronghunter said...

Haven't used one, Lynn. I bought a light that was supposed to show sources of odors, but I didn't use it. I think it was a black light. Is that what you are talking about? I am kind of afraid to think what I would see.

hedgie said...

Lolly, is CBS newsman Bob Schieffer a TCU grad?

hedgie said...

Yeah, Shirley, it's called black but it glows blue!

hedgie said...

Wonder if Wisconsin band would have played first if they were leading at half-time....????
Cool that TCU got to go first! Better band!

magpie said...

anyone having trouble getting Google to come up?

slept so-so Lynn, might catch a few winks before midnight

I keep checking for a new thead...maybe Steve is honoring his wife today by staying away from the computer ! ☺

hedgie said...

Maybe so, Margy. We'll surely hit the 600 mark tonight!
Carolyn is having a hard time getting back to sleep for a nap.

magpie said...

magpie said...

I'm outta haere for awhile :(

Lolly said...

stronghunter said...

I'll have to dig that light out. Not sure where it is now.

BEagle said...

Lolly said...

BEagle said...

BEagle said...

hedgie said...

Way to go, BEagle!!! Just in time for the heatwave!! But you will be very glad to have it in a few days when it turns cold again!
Rain fizzled out here.....hasn't done anything since before dark.

hedgie said...

Hmmmmm....strange pop-up on bear cam screen....all about putereeze....or camera-eze.

hedgie said...

Very distracting......hope Lily doesn't do anything while it's there.

hedgie said...

Wonder what Paula is up to today? We haven't heard from her.

hedgie said...

I answered my own question by looking up Bob Schieffer's bio. TCU alum....and the Journalism school there is named after him!!!

magpie said...

I did a restore and I have Google back...
I was wondering about Paula too...maybe she is still camping out with the grandchildren

Congratulatons BEagle...about the furnace !

Be prepared for the SPLIT because it is coming very soon...

magpie said...

magpie said...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...
