I loved Lynne's prediction.....but like the weatherman, she IS all wet!!!! LOL!

Dana, ISS is very fast, and moves in a steady arc....like Margy said, no blinking lights....just a steady glow---except when it goes behind clouds!! It WA supposed to be very bright, according to the Tracking report, but clouds made it dimmer.


Judie, that was sure a brief visit! How are you feeling????

Shirley, glad that Suzi doesn't have another infection. Hope the Zyrtec does the trick for her.

Loretta.....no fair for you to get stuck with the loan unless you get to drive the car!!!

stronghunter said...

Susan says that dinner takes a long time for her--I think part of the problem is ordering food in Spanish.

stronghunter said...

Didn't see that split coming.

NatureNut said...

Bear scratching all over in den and groaning!! Funny--I got one pic of head.

stronghunter said...

Hmm, Susan disappeared awhile ago to talk to James and has not come back.

Lolly said...

Watching TV in front of the fire. Expecting really low temps tonight but no more yukky stuff. Laurel sent me a pic tonight of their snow. They have several inches still, we have none.

NatureNut said...

Hope's head is up front, too. Lily was doing licking.

Lolly said...

Hope is "purring"!

Mema Jo said...

Whoa! Hope really has her motor running tonight.

Mema Jo said...

Need a quick break

BBILW

NatureNut said...

Put a couple bear pics on blog.

NatureNut said...

I thought I saw a tiny bear head??? Maybe it was hope laying under Lily.? Aren't they pink when born, like pandas??? I'm dying for an update.

NatureNut said...

Guess not, if there were a cub. would hear squealing.

magpie said...

Loretta...how about pictures of the Mustang ? Bear pics are neat...but I'd really like to see that "Loaner."

I have exactly 383 MB Ram...don't everyone laugh! That's very small...in modern times...the computer is 10 years old but was "top of the line" when new, but I do manage pretty well, just can't go cruising around to too many sites

As long as I can get NCTC cams, Blackwater, the pictures, and a few others...I am pretty satisfied for now

paula eagleholic said...

BTW, RAM is memory in your computer. It is different from your hard disk drive, which is storage space.

Ram = memory

magpie said...

I have about 25% disc space remaining....think I will have to address the upgrading the memory one of these days and clean up the hard drive too...
not that I really know what I am talking about !
Hi Paula !

Lolly said...

Lily is really restless tonight.

hedgie said...

Shirley, do you ever get tired of grading papers?????
BTW---Christie was in F'burg again today. Tomorrow she has to go to Howard U Hosp. First trip there for her....:(

hedgie said...

Hey, I did the split again!

paula eagleholic said...

I thought she had quit that Job Lynn? Or wants to?

paula eagleholic said...

I want to get a terrabyte external drive....

magpie said...

That's a neat picture
Steve posted with the New Thread from this morning ...

sure glad we got our link to the cam back to normal

pretty fancy website for FWS though. Busy Agency !

paula eagleholic said...

Terrabyte is the size of the drive....maybe 2 terrabytes.

hedgie said...

Left a comment on your blog pics, Loretta. Guess no one looked at the one I put on earlier!

stronghunter said...

Lots going on in the bear den.

magpie said...

New pictures in the E-M album for today are GREAT !
thanks to all the Picture-Snappers !

stronghunter said...

Yes, I get tired of grading papers. It can eat up your life.

My brain is shutting down for the evening, so I am going to call it quits. I will see you tomorrow. We have two days of normal classes, then exams.

paula eagleholic said...

Here's some good news for ya'll!!

Remember I posted some time ago about taking the day off and seeing an eagle? It was a month or so ago....

Well, that eagle was flying over what is going to be my BEACH HOUSE!

I have been looking for over a year...finally found a place down on the Eastern Shore. I didn't want to post anything earlier about it...wanted to see how the inspection went, as the property is being sold in "as is" condition. I went down last week and the inspection went fine, just some minor stuff to fix.

It is actually a 2 bedroom mobile home, with 2 additions, plus a another small camper on the property, that I have dubbed "the fishing camper", LOL.

It is on one of the many rivers that feeds into the bay. If you check out Rumbley, MD on google maps, you'll see about where it is. Has a lovely western, sunset view, and white sandy beach.

stronghunter said...

Then I get new students. Block 4 will be gone, but who knows what the future holds?

paula eagleholic said...

I can see Lily and hope in Lowreeda's pics...Lynn yours looks like what I saw earlier, a brown blob!

stronghunter said...

Congratulations, Paula! I will check it out tomorrow.

stronghunter said...

I got several views of Lily's eye.

stronghunter said...

Didn't take any pics, though.

Good night.

Yawn.

magpie said...

That sounds great, Paula !!!
Congratulations!
Rumbley, neat name!
Going to head to Google now to have a look-see

hedgie said...

Bear update

Lolly said...

Okay, Paula, when is the beach party? :)

paula eagleholic said...

As soon as it warms up, Lolly! Gotta be good and hot for a beach party.

magpie said...

Wow, that's a Hike Paula from your roost...but sure sounds and looks lovely, oh the waterfowl you will see !!

paula eagleholic said...

The place needs updating, but is very livable.

paula eagleholic said...

I saw a couple of herons and a kingfisher last week. No eagle though. And I think there's an osprey nest there somewhere...

paula eagleholic said...

OK, I can see the bear blob was moving.

magpie said...

Looks like you will go right past Blackwater/Cambridge !

magpie said...

All that traveling and in Maryland the entire time...

Mema Jo said...

Back from the TV to catch up with my friends.........

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Margy, I can go 3 1/2 hours to the beach and still be in MD, or go 3 hrs 15 mins and be at Michael's in NJ.

magpie said...

going to catch some weather news and head to bed...eyelids are approaching the ankles

Best wishes for Sweet Sleep
and Prayers for many needs,
especially Dana's Little Man tonight...hope tomorrow the doggy doc can give some good answers and some hope for wellness

God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥

Mema Jo said...

Paula - that is an investment you will never regret! What will your travel time be? I am very happy for you!

NatureNut said...

Wow, Paula!! That sounds great! I thought you were going to talk about S.MD property your folks had.

Thx, Lynn for Bear update. I just checked & they put it on while I was shampooing! Certainly explains a lot more about what I thought I was seeing. Didn't look at videos--but how neat both were out.

Gotta finish hair & hit the hay. If I don't get back,
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

paula eagleholic said...

I see Lily's face, small blow

paula eagleholic said...

There's Hope

paula eagleholic said...

Hopey is scratching, Lilly is looking out near the cam

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, it's about 3 1/2 hours.

Lowreeda, I kept looking in So MD, but couldn't find anything I could afford...

paula eagleholic said...

Hope is nursing

hedgie said...

Congratulations, Paula!!!
Way to go....and you beat me!
Show us pics!!!!

Latest on our venture was that the other contract that was put in the same time as ours was accepted.....when the inspection was done it turned out that the heat pump doesn't work....lenders would not lend. Holding bank would not replace or repair...so it just sits there.....
We are trying to find out if a lender will lend if we have the cash in hand to replace the heat pump. MTBR.

Mema Jo said...

Hope has had a very busy day today. I really hope there is no more needs to go to the den. Those bears need some rest.

So do I!

Good Night my friends
Prayers for all
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, seems reasonable that they would...go for it!

I have pics of the interior, but keep forgetting to take pics of exterior and view...there weren't any good ones online..will do that next week, I promise. Settlement is the 20th.

paula eagleholic said...

Ok going to add a few pics of the place

Lolly said...

Paula, really look forward to seeing pictures. I can see you now, lying at the beach but with your eyes to the sky to see the eagles fly!

paula eagleholic said...

OK, got a couple of pics up of the beach house

http://paulasprints.blogspot.com/

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, I have certainly been looking for them. Couldn't believe one flew right over the house!!

Lolly said...

Fantastic view! I can see some wonderfful times lie ahead for the family at that great place.

hedgie said...

Thanks for letting us get a gander, Paula!!!!

Calling it a day here. Prayers for all. Snow, please stay away!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Lolly. Can't wait to get started on it.., I'm excited...kids will have a blast

Costume Lady said...

I think it's awesome, Paula. How did you ever find such a jewel?

Costume Lady said...

Soup Kitchen tomorrow, need some sleep and rest.

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda, the good ol' internet!

paula eagleholic said...

Sleep well friends!

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly said...

Nite all! Sweet dreams!

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Sounds like there might be a snowy commute home.

Will see you later.

wvgal_dana said...

OK Shirley be careful coming home.

wvgal_dana said...

Empty nest at this point

wvgal_dana said...

EAGLE IN NEST

floralgirl said...

Both eagles are in the nest. One flew in, and the other came in about a minute later. They are picking at the fluff in the nest cup.

wvgal_dana said...

one gone

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Megan how goes it this morning ( :

wvgal_dana said...

They have been moving that fluff but really not doing anything with it lol

wvgal_dana said...

I'm up early so I can feed Little Man before Vet appt. Don't want an accident in car. Although he has never ever done that. Just wanted his belly to settle after he ate.

wvgal_dana said...

poof empty nest

NatureNut said...

Got to see both birds!!
Will put pic on here, album later!
Bye~~~~

floralgirl said...

One just flew back into nest with a stick

floralgirl said...

Trying to find the perfect spot, carrying stick around nest.

wvgal_dana said...

one back moving BIG stick

wvgal_dana said...

flew back in and was moving that big stick around finally got it placed

wvgal_dana said...

Hi and Bye Loretta

floralgirl said...

Second eagle just flew back in, Belle maybe

wvgal_dana said...

Megan do you have any sound?

2nd one flew in and layed in egg cup

wvgal_dana said...

Placing sticks for side rails

He keeps looking at her like are we going to do it or not?

wvgal_dana said...

Megan do you have sound?

wvgal_dana said...

I do if I plug in the earphones but not without them.

wvgal_dana said...

Liverty digging aroun in egg cup. He gets near Belle and she pecks at him. She is saying "no way buddy". Poor guy

floralgirl said...

Sound is too faint, too much buzz in it, I have it turned down cause it's annoying.

wvgal_dana said...

Liberty under his chin is jagged and Belle under her chin is more straight.

wvgal_dana said...

Liberty just flew out and Belle is still there.

wvgal_dana said...

I got to go plug in curling iron.

floralgirl said...

Belle just flew out

magpie said...

they just didn't seem like they wanted to do much housework this morning...
wonder if the absence of some of those branches has made a difference in their actions, or whether they feel more "exposed" and have the need to be more watchful of what's going on around the nest

Both Eagles in the Eagle nest at Blackwater....well now just one....think they are due for some snowy weather there today, a wintry mix of some sort

Good Morning Eagle Pals

Hope this is a good day, without too many weather problems

magpie said...

Wanda
I just hit the 300 mark...could sure use a Poop Shoot Facial !

Hope Soup Kitchen goes okay...
can't wait to see the menu!

I got caught up on the Jayden videos and pictures last night, what a treat ☺

wvgal_dana said...

Ok got doggie seat in car and warming car up.

Will have to put pictures in album of this morning eagle visit when I get back from taking Little Man to Vet.

I would appreciate some prayers as you all was doing yesterday. I truly believe and thank you all for caring as you do. ( :

Prayers for those that need them.

bbl

magpie said...

okay time for some housework here

Best wishes with the Little Man's doctor visit today, Dana


ttfn xo

stronghunter said...

Hello again, I see I missed the eagle visit this morning. Kind of busy. I do appreciate reading your accounts of the visits.

I am at school trying to organize myself for the day. It's cold in here. I might have to get some coffee to warm myself up.

Susan says that the taxi drivers in Quito drive 100 mph. I suggested that maybe she should take the bus, but she says the bus drivers are no better. Their bus driver slammed on the brakes and sent several of them flying.

I asked if there are lots of accidents, and she said yes.

She says that in many of the taxis the seat belts are stuffed so far down in the seats that you cannot pull them out to wear.

That does worry me. I am saying a prayer for Susan and the transportation methods down there.

magpie said...

Good Morning Shirley...
that does NOT sound Fun nor Safe...

wish Susan could just bicycle around

Hope you get warmed up and have a good day

ttfn xoxo
I'm disappearing now into the chores here

magpie said...

oh just saw the eagle at Jordan Lake turn the eggs...looks like snow in the nest there

floralgirl said...

EAGLE in the nest!

floralgirl said...

NOW BOTH!

floralgirl said...

HP!

floralgirl said...

That was a quickie:)

floralgirl said...

There they go, one after the other, flew out to the right. But had some definite bonding in the nest.

floralgirl said...

ONe back with a a stick!

hedgie said...

Well, Megan at least they haven't forgotten how to do it!!!!
Morning gang!

It is snowing VERY lightly here.....if this is all it does, even all day long, we'll have it made in the shade!

floralgirl said...

Moving sticks around the edge of nest,and here comes Lib with a stick. And of course, Belle has taken it from him.

floralgirl said...

There goes Belle, I think... Lib is on back of nest, at 12 o'clock. working on sticks on side.

floralgirl said...

And there goes Lib!

floralgirl said...

EAgle back again!

floralgirl said...

Major stick renovations along back of nest, moving the stick that was just put there to the opposite side of nest.

floralgirl said...

Here comes eagle #2 with lots of fluff!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

A little fluff arguing.

floralgirl said...

They are both busy now moving fluff and sticks and beaking a little.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Still have my rusty blackbird today. Yay!

floralgirl said...

That's cool, Sharon! Never seen one.

paula eagleholic said...

Whoo Hoo, HP in the nest ♥

paula eagleholic said...

I mean, that Megan saw, not new HP :)

floralgirl said...

Eagle just flew out- Belle?

floralgirl said...

Back with another stick!

floralgirl said...

Pushing Lib just about out of the nest

hedgie said...

BOTH IN NEST! Moving sticks.

hedgie said...

Got a good pic!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning wonderful folks! They are working hard this morning, aren't they? Little tug-o-war going on a minute ago over a stick. They have been carting in some trees this morning!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Heard I missed a little bit of HP! Darn the luck!! Waiting on another big snow storm down here!! OH JOY!!

hedgie said...

3 pics added.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Reckon our eagles are going to use this nest this year? :-)

Mema Jo said...

Whoo Hoo! Did you say HP! and you don't mean Hewlett Packard - right?
Let the Season begin.

Whoops! Good Morning ♥

hedgie said...

Don't know why the stupid uploader doesn't keep them in the order I put them in!!!

Hey, it's 1-11-11......Someone play those numbers in a lottery!!!

Mema Jo said...

I reckon so! :)

But weren't we frightful that they weren't?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I honestly had not a flicker of doubt that they would still be here.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I was certainly afraid we had lost Belle and Lib. So grateful to see him working so hard! Now, if the weather will just cooperate and we have some babies to watch!!

floralgirl said...

Not Hewlett-Packard :)
And after they left at one point, Belle came back and moved the stick Lib had worked so hard to place. Typical.

floralgirl said...

Nice to be able to hear them talking.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
I missed the HP, but so glad to hear that it took place. Thought maybe Belle was having a Mid-Life Crisis. Watched a good deal of their visits yesterday and Lib tried to cozy up to her, but she would have none of it! I'm satisfied now that some eggs WILL BE LAYED this year;)

Leaving early today for GG's to make sure her meds are in order, just in case the snow keeps me Home Bound tomorrow.

Soup Kitchen will come after GG visit, just in case the snow doesn't keep our guests away.

ROAST PORK LOIN
MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY
VEGGIE MEDLEY
APPLE SAUCE
DRINKS

hedgie said...

Soup kitchen menu sounds delicious, Wanda!!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD FOR YOUR SHARON...
Some of us had little faith in them, me included! Oh, we of little faith:( Thank you Lord.

Costume Lady said...

Come join us, Lynn. You don't have to be homeless...just HUNGRY:)
After the serving hours are over, all the helpers eat and this was one of their favorite meals!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like a good invitation Lynn if the snow hasn't started.
Kristen is coming over but she is bringing a bag just in case. She also has a 4:00 appointment here in Frederick and she knows her dad will transport her.

I am getting some breakfast before it is lunch.......

floralgirl said...

Poof! MT nest now

magpie said...

If anyone got a picture how about forwarding that to Steve?

I missed it but sure just read all about it !! ♥ ♥

grocery store trip for me, well for my 93 yoa girl pal actually

ttfn

magpie said...

It would make an awesome picture for the open up page for when a new thread comes along ☺

okay bye

Everyone, hope your day's plans go as you like them to

xoxo

Judie said...

Well, good morning.

Am off to the big school house. Getting ready has been tiring but let's see how this goes. Will report later.

Saw an eagle a few minutes ago. Lovely sight.

Wishing everyone a super nice morning.

glo said...

Looks like a busy morning on here and at the nest. Ain't love grand :-). Its still cold and rainy here. But its not bitter cold and its not icy. That's good indeed.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Boy, Hope's motor is sure running this morning! I am so worried about what is going to happen with her when the cub (s) are born.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Yes, Bev, I have been listening to Hope as well. She purrs a lot!

Got my cam up in time to see one eagle at the back of the nest. So very happy to hear about the HP. It's about time! :)

Cold here, presently 25 and not expected to get much warmer today. However, we do have bright sunshine and that is welcome.

Looks like s__w is headed your way.

hedgie said...

I completely forgot to wish Andy good luck on last evening's exam.....but KNOW she did well. She must have been too exhausted to check in afterwards! Hope these are semester exams and she gets a nice break!

Judie, good luck today! Is Darth taking you?? Will he or someone be wheeling you around campus??? I will worry until I hear that you are tucked back into your nest!

Snow flakes are getting bigger....but still lazy ones.

hedgie said...

Thanks for the invite, Wanda, but don't think I will be going out today!

Mema Jo said...

Judie my thought are with you and hoping you only need to be out for a couple of hours. I am thinking this is the first you've been at the big school house. I bet you get lots and lots of hugs and smiles from staff and from the wannabes....... Anxious to hear from you on your return trip.

hedgie said...

Just saw in obits that widow of a co-worker passed---only 59. They catered Carolyn's wedding reception. :(

hedgie said...

Jo, and others familiar with Hagersbush----they are going to raze the motel portion of the Venice Hotel. Wow.....won't that change the landscape?!

Lolly said...

Sorry you can not venture out, Lynn, to dine with Wanda and Gene at their fine establishment. Hope your accumulation of snow is not too much.

Lolly said...

Finally found a coat on line that said free shipping, but everytime I tried to order it they put on $18 shipping. So, just called and they have sold out. Grrrrr! They were very nice and going to apply free shipping.

Looks like I will get a new coat next winter.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hope just raised up and scratched, helped me get a better perspective on what I was looking at.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

EAGLE!

Mema Jo said...

WHOO HOO Going to move some sticks.

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - I wonder what they are going to do once it is down. Did they say anything about the restaurant?

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle alert

Lib on the back of the nest

Mema Jo said...

At our nest - the vigilant centurion
stands guard........ Liberty

paula eagleholic said...

Sure wish they would adjust the white balance, the eagles heads look all washed out

Lolly said...

The nest is looking good!

Lolly said...

Poof

Mema Jo said...

lol Paula I thought Lib's head was completely turned around - I couldn't see his beak !

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I think Lily is snoring!!

Lolly said...

Off to start my day, yes, I am slow moving! Heading to a movie about 12:30.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Whatcha going to see Lolly? We saw True Grit the other day! Great movie.

hedgie said...

All quiet at den cam.....hope they let sleeping BEARS lie!!!

hedgie said...

Jo, the hotel and restaurant will remain. Just the add-on motel portion that is going down.

Lolly, sorry about bad coat luck....:(

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Brandon's service is today. Bless their hearts. Their whole life has been so much about his health care for the past year and a half, they are really gonna have a time. Not to mention, they are burying their oldest child today.

hedgie said...

Shirley gets to leave school at 1:30!!! BE CAREFUL DRIVING, girl!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

They have removed Kailey's PICC line and she is eating on her own very well. Hopefully home soon for her.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hope is stirring in the den.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I had them backwards, Lily is in the back and Hope is in the front I reckon.

movin said...



wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

GOOD MORNING,

EVERYoNE.

Can't tell if my live feed is working or not. It's very calm in Sheptown if it is working.


C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

hedgie said...

Prayers still going up for the Cooks, Sissy.

hedgie said...

Good news about Kailey!

Jim, cam is fine. Eagles have been in and out and even had some HP!!! Should start to see flakes soon.....getting steadier here.

movin said...

yep, Hedgie, I took another look at the L.F. and I just saw a snow flake crossing the screen.
