"Happy Together" song goes waaaay back...(late 60's)

Now, if it had been Belle and LIBERTY - then yes, all the time !!
TEAM LIBERTY !!
going to try to recapture some of life's activities lost in the last few days, hope to find some new wildflowers today around here, and guess I better pay some bills...
will need to see if I have any money left over for gasoline, and maybe a bicycle !
Best wishes for a good day, everyone...
ttfn xoxoxox ♥
My newspapers are calling out to me. My leaving pretty much guarentees there will be another set of nestcapades soon ! Enjoy and I'll see you later, my dear early morning friends !
Reminder...the Still Cam is up and running.....

Have a great day Margy and Kay!
GOOD MORNING EARLY BIRDS...
Kay, I love your idea of PARTYING ALL DAY in honor of Paula's birthday:)
My Capt. Father Gene is almost ready to leave for FISH camp...a couple days in Elkins, fishing, playing cards, and just enjoying Mother Nature.
Looks like some severe weather may be headed that way...hope it doesn't happen until he is safely off the highway!
Happy Birthday Paula! Have a fabulous day!!
Gotta jump off now, but hoping Paula has a great birthday. I'll try to have some wine in your honor tonight Paula!
Hi Wanda. DanaMO I missed you earlier this morning. Give those 3flying babies extra cookies from Auntie Lori.
Wanda - Blessings for Capt. Father Gene on his trip.
Happy Birthday Paula!
OK Count three lively bobbleheads at Decorah

7:31 little blackbirdy in the nest
The End
did get some pictures on the E-M album
the one of H-P is off the live feed, so it is small...can't figure out how to do it otherwise
Good morning folks. My tired body is still lying in the bed. I see Jerk is still at it, or at least trying. I am not ready to play nice.
TEAM LIBERTY!!!!!!!
American Kestel Cam in Nebraska has an egg !!

Paula, Happy Birthday: May there be much that you enjoy and recognize with gratitude today and for the rest of the year...
Good morning ladies! Happy Birthday Paula!
OK, the Gorton Fisherman has hit the road. Safe travels, My Love!
♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR EAGLE LADY, PAULA♫♪♫♪...I think you should have a party at the Beach House this weekend and invite all of us. I'll bring the hot dogs:)
♥♥♥♥♪♫♪Happy Birthday Dear Paula!♪♫♪♥♥♥♥
Missed all the excitment (if you call it that) at the nest this morning. SURELY ther will not be another clutch this year......
Margy, love the Dame's Rocket!
I put the hummer feeder out yesterday!
Sure hope Gene has fun on his fishing trip....and has a weather radio with him.
Good morning,
Happy birthday, Paula!
Hope Lolly and her family got through the tough Texas weather okay last night.
I see there was a nest visit and possible HP this morning.
Must get to work.
BBL.
Thank you Margy for the Kestrel cam. I did have it in my bird favoritis but had not checked it out yet.
Good Morning those coming in or back in. ( :
Oh darn, I knew I forgot something, I gotta make hummer food. Add that to my list of things to do. This day would have to be 48 hours long for me to accomplish everything. Off to the greenhouse before it gets to hot to work in there. Have a great day everybody!
Sharon and Thelma God was truly watching out for you two Sunday. Thank you Lord.
God speed for safe travels for Wanda's Gene.
Thank you for the video's I am getting to see on the older thread.
Need to get some things done here...long day today. Work then viewing/memorial service tonight.
Also need to try to shake this really nervous/anxious uneasy feeling I've had most of the weekend.
If I don't get back here before work, have a great day everyone and keep those eyes to the skies!
thanks Lynne2
good to see you hop on here
my grandson, James, thinks the name for this flower is
"James Rocket" - so be it !!!

I have been watching that kestrel cam for about two weeks now, waiting...

I see bobbleheads at Decorah ( :
Parent is feeding chicks. Can't see them. Parent on this side feeding them.
Morning everyone.
Happy Birthday Paula.
Wow the Decorah Nest looks like the maid showed up.
Good Morning Leona ( :
Decorah was on the new again yesterday...they are "famous" ( :
Good morning! And, once again....
♫♪♫ Happy Birthday, Paula!♫♪♫♪ May you have a glorious day! I am all for partying all day and I am all for a glass of wine in your honor! Also, up for Wanda's suggestion for a party this weekend. ☺ Love you!♥♥♥♥
We did not blow away! Storm reached us about an hour after we went to bed. Terrific lightening, thunder, wind, and pouring rain but no hail! Wahoo! It poured! Water from the sky!!!! We got 1.3 inches in a very short time. Today is cool and oh, so wonderfully fresh! PTL
We got up, turned on the backyard light and watched it come down.☺
I see 2 beautiful chicks at Duke Farms. Trying to see egg for any pips???
Lynne, (((Hugs))) for you! Do hope you shake those not so pleasant feelings. That is not nice! Hope you get back to "good" feelings soon. Prayers for you tonight at the visitation and his family.
Chicks are getting fed at Duke Farm. Still one egg to hatch. Right now how egg is laying I don't see a pip.
Morning wvgal_dana

TEAM LIBERTY!!
Good morning eagle lovers everywhere.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA!!!!
I hope you have the best day you've ever had.
Just added the final day to my 30 Day Photo Challenge. It was fun to do. Really had to think on some of the photos.
My 30 Photo Challenge
yep I sure do need to shake these strange feelings....
Leona, I'm going to do the 30 day photo challenge too, thanks for sending me the info.
Lolly, saw your Heron pics....OMG what a strange place to find nests!! I haven't had a chance to post my yet and may not get to if for the next couple of days, but I'll get there eventually!
OK, heading out now....
Laurel just sent an email with her iphone. She had lots of rain last night. Went to school this morning and saw lots of limbs down, holes in the roof of the school, water in the cafeteria and the theatre arts room. She has no phone, and no computer. Apparently the severe storm went south of her.
Your welcomed Lynne2. I can't wait to see it.
I am going to start the 30 day Song Challenge someone, not sure when.
Leona, Thanks for sharing your 30 day photo challenge. I think you did a great job with it.
A good friend who also posts on fb, posted a picture of himself with friends at that little lake where I saw the heron. He walks every morning and walks by that lake. It is in town, a little town lake. Anyway, he told me he sees a heron fishing every morning. He said, "Pretty cool for an urban setting."
♪ ♫ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR PAULA!!!!xxxooo♥♥♥ ♫ ♪
Hello to Everyone. We are Trying to get a little sun here--breezy, too. Gotta get outside w/more coffee!!☺
Leona
relieved to see you check in
Lolly also,
wow, would think Laurel's school would be closed with that kind of water invasion
praying still for many others amongst us and our families that may be under siege with these weather systems
saw the kestrel parent at the box a little while ago, expect to see more eggs soon too !
Megan hope you get your 48-hour day but that it only feels like 24
ttfn xoxo
I am leaving to start my day. Going to try to get an earlier start. If we walk earlier then I can get outside earlier. That makes sense!
Have a great day! Paula, you have an extra special day, and Lynne, shake that feeling, Girl! (And, if I were you, do not tell people you ate your oatmeal with a fork.)☺ (((Hugs)))
Thanks Red. Sorry Lolly. I am around. Just not talking much. :)
Checking the email box before I head out the door Good morning one and all and thanks for the new thread BBL
Leona beautiful 30th day to put your Dad's picture in there. Thank you for sharing this with us. It was great watching how it all turned out. ty ( :
Lynne2 why are you having strange feelings?? What's going on?
Have a good walk Lolly.
Hi Red always nice to see you.
Sharon I hope you seen my comment about the tire for you and Thelma.
Good Morning JudyE have a good day ( :
Sorry Loretta did not see you sneak in there lady ( :
Morning, all!
Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes!
Got a big surprise on my drive to work....my son put up signs along the roadway with balloons on them...was really cool, and put a big smile on my face. And my office is filled with "Over the Hill" balloons :)
Will try and post pictures of them later!
Almost caught up with the morning comments!!!
Birthday girl.....make sure you look at last thread after MN!!
Hope Gene has a great fishing trip....hey, Carol, be listening! He'll honk as he goes by your mountain!
SOmeone mentioned Belle teaching the young dude.....do we need to start calling her Mrs. Robinson???
Black birds are busy in our nest.
Glad to see that Decorah survived the wicked winds intact. I wsa worried overnight.
Oh Paula that sounds like so much fun from your son for your birthday lol
Shadow of a bird above the nest.
Lynne, thoughts with you, your friends and families.
Hope that the feelings you are having pass quickly without sequelae. I have times like that, too....my girls laugh at me about it...99.99% of the time, nothing happens. But it is an awful way to feel.
Leona----the wind was the maid at Decorah! Amazing there's anything left.
Lolly, glad you all made it through without any nasty weather.
Whoops! Had no idea it was an over the hill birthday! Wow, did not know your were celebrating your 40th. LOL
Love what your son did. I am sure that did put a smile on your face. How much fun!
Gotta run! Pulling a Margy!
There was another quake in Japan....they still say aftershocks, but this one was big, too.
♪♪♫♪♪ Happy birthday - Celebrate today Paula for it is your day ♪♪♫♪♪
Oh, Paula, such fun! John is very clever!!! Have you gotten any black roses or balloons???
I wish they would send ships with nests and barges out to capture alot of this stuff that is heading to our shores. Before it all gets here. I know some of it will take years but why wait. Get it along the way before our beaches are littered.
Great 30 day event photolog, Leona!
Robyn is doing the music/song one!
JudyE....your short vacation is over? Back to the ol' grind, huh?
My Facebook is down. How will I live?
Leona Your 30 Photo Challenge is fantastic. I feel as though I have
known you from day one! It was great.
ROFL Mrs Robinson
Enjoy your days off Margy and may you
find lots and lots of wild flowers.
Paula I bet those signs woke you up coming down the road. Great idea.
Lynn - look up at the beautiful blue sky today and talk yourself out of that feeling. Know that God is in the driver's seat.
Oh my - Misspelled the Lynne but you can also read it Lynn, my friend.
BTW Good Morning Friends
Happy Birthday Paula!!
Fluff thieves on the nest :)
Wow Paula...how very specia !!
It was John ??
Not over just got lot of stuff to do getting oil changed at the ford co then lunch with daughter then want to run down and check out the eagles nest in St Pete and on and on and on BBL Happy Birthday Paula I hopes its a good one
Lynn...my office is filled with over 50 black balloons :)
I haven't check out my FB yet.
Sharon you will just need to chat with
us. All Day! loL ♥
aah "Specia" - new word !
I know we have an Iowa momster....can you help me with that and have we heard from that person, is it turtledove ?
so sorry I cannot remember
got two pics of a little blackbird when it was ON the nest, earlier, on the E-M album
one was hanging around UNDER the nest in the "eaves" at
8 o'clock earlier this morning
signing off for now, I think...
will hold down the blog posts for sure for many many hours!
LOL! just trying to be considerate to my friends
I thought Leona was in Iowa...or Oklahoma....
Sunseeker2 is from Iowa
okay, sunseeker, I think that is who it is Paula ...and if so, hope we hear from her soon...very soon...
...Leona is in Okla
Thank you ! You are not over the hill, nosirreee!
ps the blackbirds under the "eaves" were at the 8 o'clock spot, not even sure what TIME it was !
Temp is up to 75°!! Stiff breeze and mostly cloudy, but SMELLS like spring! Peonies are up about 8", two scraggly hyacinths in bloom.
I think spring has sprung---hopefully for real now!
Margy, it's Bommy who is from Iowa, and she was just here!
Leona is in OK, Paula.
OVER 50 black balloons?? They really didn't need to do OVER!!!
ok thanks Lynn
I lost Microsoft word with the the
Dinosaur make-over ..could not print out a new cheat sheet if she is on there
Okay Bommy you are posting, guess that means you are okay !
am exiting the computer now !
hope Glo and Just Vicky and all others between here and there including FuzzleMa, and Donka Maria, and some of us locals later...will be okay...know there are many others, do not mean to exlude ANYONE with the
Weather Prayer Watch
xoxo
Exciting stuff in kindergarten! I just heard a chirp from one of our eggs! Whoo Hoo! Any time now.
Mits found this:
The Decorah eagle family endured a typical sample of Iowa’s severe weather season, as they are well-equipped to do -- thanks for all your concern. FYI, the much-reported tornado damage is nearly 300 miles from this nest. Meanwhile ... all three eaglets are well-fed and thriving. Since they put on a pound every 4 - 5 days, you will likely be amazed at the progress they make this week.
I get the stormy weather tonight. Maybe it will fizzle before it gets here.
Last nights wind is probably the housekeeper at the Decorah nest, I do not seeing anything rotting in the pantry today.
Wanda, there is nothing there on your FB post for Family Friday! And it won't let me comment...???
Hope it does miss you, Red.....and my cuz in DOuble Springs, too!
Double springs is not very far from me.
Y'all get ready for a nest visit. I'm going napping now. lol
Red, I sure hope that storm fizzles
out before reaching your area.
Paula - I found that when I went over the hill I had 'great speed'!
You'll love it!
Donka Marie is in Bingingham, NY
Are the storms up there also... ?
DanaMO did all the children hear it?
What a day for you and your class!
Wanda Brandon is going to need a
lot of garden space with all those seeds.
Back after a good morning and catching up.
Leona, beautiful photo essay and such a lovely tribute to your family !
Lynne2, hope those uncomfortable feelings have subsided. Holding your family in thoughts and prayers today.
Lolly & family weathered the storm, yeah !
Hedgie, love the Mrs. Robinson correlation. Also reminds me of Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady as he works to put some polish on Eliza Doolittle. In my experience you can't change a man, so you'd better find one that measures up from the get go !
Wanda, hope Gene brings home some good eatin' !
Paula, you obviously have a great son !
DanaMo, how exciting for you and the kids ! Keep us posted.
Sorry I just took off like that... Had to run and get something done. Thanks everyone I am glad you enjoyed my 30 Photo Challenge.
I do have to take off again. Now I need to run to the Doc's.
BBL

Good morning to everyone as well.
Good to see both cams back up and working beautifully.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Up to 83° here. Warm wind now!
Jo
I KNEW there was something from yesterday I was meaning to ask:
did you really cross the Susquehanna yesterday on the way home ??
Whoo! that would be a detour would it not?
I think your post said Potomac and Susquehanna Rivers...
☺ just wonderin'
Phoebe is busy renovating her nest ... I "think" it's the same one just used, and she might be about ready to start another clutch.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
fluff on the nest is getting sun-bleached
I thought the storm swatch took it up across Pa, NY, and into New England...(and other places before it gets to those places...)
not sure if that would affect Binghamton or not, Jo..
headed out, going to see James and find some wildflowers on the way perhaps
Best wishes for a Good Rest of the Day, everyone
xo ☺ ♥
In fact, if you look just above the chat area, it says that she laid her first egg about an hour and a half ago.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

batten down the hatches, Red, hope it is not going to be a problem for you
Pheoebe and bunny rabbits seem to have something in common, Jim
thanks for the news !
xoxo ttfn
better quit while I am behind on my spelling :(
Phoebe
would
etc
Well Margie I was going in the back way from 340 to 230 to Shepherdstown - I crossed thru WV MD VA. I don't think I dreamed the signs as you go over the bridges.
I will have to travel it again with Jenny and pay strict attention to where I am.......
Thanks for calling it to my attention.
Ok since I'm not a geography buff maybe there isn't anyway I crossed over any river other than the Potomac. Now I definitely MUST backtrack and see where I saw that sign.
Boy Margy - I'll have an anwser for you within the week.......
SHENANDOAH I think JO
At first I was thinking Monocacy...but that would have been after you went to Frederick ☺
Jo
I thought maybe you just had Conowingo on your mind...
found your reflective comment about Liberty, very touching, and heartwarming...♥
Okay put together for outdoor life now
See You Later, Pals !
xoxo
Shenandoah cuts between WV and VA
and Potomac is between WV and MD
...I think...
both beautiful names....
I have a niece named
Katherine Shenandoah...(and then two last names after that...)
my late sister Kathy's granddaughter ♥
I know, I said 'bye
xo
I don't believe the time
Hope DanaMo gives us a report about
a hatching chick(s).
Like Lolly who is out digging in her
flower beds - I need to really start
my day! Off to the showers.........
BBL
Mrs. Hummer has laid a new egg in the same nest that just fledged!! MAYBE 2, but not confirmed!!!
Still do not understand 50 black balloons.??????S urely you meant 40 black balloons.☺
Jack and I had to go into Staples and then the grocery store. Now going to eat a bite of lunch and then head outside. Gorgeous day here, presently 72 and a brilliant blue sky. Love it when the rain clears out the air.
Oh, and Jack found a birds nest complete with one egg on the ground. He found it yesterday, so now I have it on my front porch along with another nest the boys found last year.
Whoo Hoo! Lynn solved my confusion when
she suggested that "Maybe the bridge works came from Susque. Co., PA!!!"
They are working on both side of the one bridge & that must have been what I
saw. Oh what I relief - I really
thought I was losing it!
Oh Lolly! You may have picked up on
something BUT you can't go over the
hill until you reach 50 !
Paula carries her age very very well
don't you think?
Late coming in but thank you, Steve. Happy first day of the week to you.
♫♫Happy birthday to Paula♫♫♫ Hope you've had a wonderful day, so far, and the remainder will be even better. Signs on the way to work -- so much fun. As for the balloons -- I assume it is the balloons that are "over the hill."
Had some chores to do this a.m. and will be headed to vascular dr. in about an hour. Sonograms of major arteries. Will not be pleased about not walking but I think I have a reasonably good excuse.
Decorah still very windy. NBG sunny with growing babes all around. Lily & Co. off to begin foraging for the Spring and Summer. Need to check other cams later.
Lolly, so glad you and Jack escaped the worst and that damage was done only to Laurel's school. That can be repaired. She's safe.
Hi Lowreeda!
Leona, also glad you made it through without difficulty.
Hi Wanda. Sending an extra hug to Father Capt. Gene. Wish him happy fishing.
Thoughts and prayers with you and family, Lynne2.
Hi Margie. I think I would like some James Rockets!
Hi Lynn. Glad the meeting yesterday was good.
Our door is always open, Sharon. Never closed like fb, etc.
Well, that is too cool DanaMo. Bet the kids are really eggcited.
Hi Red, hand onto your hat later! Don't forget to check in to let us know you all made it through the bad weather.
Hi Jim, got to check out Phoebe when I get back from dr. appt.
Back after I get my arteries sonogrammed.
Danamo...that is exciting news about your chicks
Hope everyone is safe from the storms!
SB count: 1 so far.....
Pineapple upside-down cake coming ut of oven.....
heading outside to replace garage deco-lantern bulbs....both burned out in last week.
Yes, I have finally started to post. Have been lurking for 3-4 years. I so enjoy this blog. I am from Sioux City,IA which is on the western border of Iowa. Decorah is on the other side of the state. However, terrible weather has been all over the northern half of the state. Perhaps you heard about Mapleton IA and the severe tornado they had Saturday night. Mapleton is about 40 miles from here. Our sirens went off but all we had was rain.
Once again I enjoy all of the postings and was devastated with the loss of Paddy O Joy.The recent happenings are interesting.
Hedgie--I just stopped at the store and bought pineapple for pineapple upside down cake too.
Lolly, it is definitely the big 50!!
Oh, and think I will have a glass of wine tonight, too~! Glad ya'll will be joining me...or am I joining you? LOL
Lady osprey of Lock of Lowes is shaping up her fluff, looks like she's molding her nest cup.
Hey, Red.....visit Bankhead National Forest and maybe you can meet my cuz. She's the park archaeology ranger!!
Does anyone know more on the Bri eagle nest? The mom was attached on April 1 while on the nest, it was a violent attack, I watched the video. Then she disappeared for a few days. Dad has been trying to incubate the egg by himself. Mom occassionally comes to the nest but won't sit on the egg. And this weekend dad brot a fish to the nest and she grabbed it from him.
Bommie, glad the tornado missed your area. I'm not familiar with that part of the state....my grandparents hailed from Cedar Rapids!
So you had a sweet tooth pestering you today, too, huh???
Glad to have you with us. You lurked for a really long time!! We're fun, crazy, smart, etc., but we don't bite!!!
Decorah mom has been gone for the past 5 hrs that I've been watching. Dad has been on the nest, nothing in the pantry, I think the wind blew nestovers away. Dad just screeched out and flew out of nest, then mom flew in just now.
Paula, we'll toast you....but no nice meal out or homecooked by AJ??? :(
Jim, you beat me to the punch on Phoebe!!!
On the FinFerry homepage, there are two new cameras added: a lighthouse cam, and another osprey nest. Of course it's dark now.
Check it out in the morning light!!!
FinFerry, et al
Liz, I'm not sure what nest you are referring to.....Bri??? Do you have a link?
Hedgie, Bri eagle nest in Maine. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/brieaglcam here's the link.
Lynn, heading to John and Ajay's tonight for dinner!
Welcome to the blog, Bommy!
Liz,,,it was actually Dad that was attacked on the nest. The intruder probably scared Mom away for a couple of days...and no, she has not been incubating :( Dad is trying to do it all.
She'll watch over the eggs, or cover them with fluff, but won't incubate. The thinking is the attack and being chased off the nest has disturbed her in some manner and she has lost interest in the eggs.
Paula, thanks for the info on Bri. Yes, I beleive mom was tramatized. I think there is only 1 egg in the nest now. If there were others, perhaps they were broke during that attack.
Okay, Liz...we know Maine! I think someone--maybe Glo---said that the egg was buried deep enough that it probably wasn't damaged in the attack on the male. But at this stage of the game, doesn't appear likely that it will hatch if it is still intact.
Oh, Paula, so glad that you won't have to spend your evening alone!!
DanaMo---home yet?? Did you have any hatches? What happens after you leave for the day? Do you leave water and grain?
Hedgie, the Bri egg was very visible this morning. Then I heard screeching and looked at the web page, saw the female with her wings over, I assume Dad, she was screaming. He left, she stayed for an hour on the tree limb. I knew it was mom because of the black circle dot on her white tail feathers.
Hedgie-no hatches :( They actually say to leave them in the incubator to dry and they don't need food right away (I guess just like the eagles). I didn't see any pips, but we often hear them chirp before they hatch so I was not surprised. Seems strange, but my aide has heard it to so I know I'm not hearing things.
I am so impatient. I kept going over to the incubator to listen and look.
I don't know who is more "eggcited" me and my aide or the kids! I think we adults are!
It's staggering to think of the hundreds of Eagle nests across North America and to realize just how many stories, good, bad and sometimes ugly are being played out. We momsters/dadsters collectively observe a small percentage of them, thanks to some really great Eagle Cams, and look how much beauty, chaos and trauma we find ourselves drawn into.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found all of you, people with a common interest,respect for wildlife, a love of nature and Belle and Liberty in particular.
Happy to welcome you, Bommy ! I think you'll be glad you went from lurking to participating. It's an enriching experience for me !
Kay, you are eggsactly right! We don't see all the drama...the good...the bad...I feel so very fortunate to be able to take a peek at the ones we do get to see :)
I couldn't have said it better, Kay!
I lurked for about 2 weeks and wanted to join in but felt like I would be intruding. Finally broke the ice and joined in and I honestly feel like this is family.
That was four years ago.
IF ANY LURKERS WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US BUT DON'T KNOW HOW....I don't know either, ask PAULA. I honestly was going to tell you and realized that I couldn't remember:)
All you have to do to post on the blog is sign up with google!
I am making happy trails for home, then up to John and Ajay's for Birthday Dinner! I sent Ajay a text and told her I was expecting some cake, LOL
Will catch up with ya'll when I return!
Have a great evening!!
Thank you again, everyone, for all the lovely birthday wishes ♥
Thanks, Paula for those instructions for our Lurkers who might want to join in:)
Enjoy you family.
Paula, I'll be raising my glass in a toast to you at precisely 6pm ! Enjoy the dinner, cake and good fellowship !
Paula, if Ajay doesn't have cake, I do!!! :)
Well said, Kay! I think I lurked for a couple of weeks....joining in was one of the best things I've ever done!!!!
♫ ♪ We are family....♪ ♫
Hedgie, would you consider adopting me ? Goulash, pineapple upside down cake....yummmmmmm !
Well I lurked for a long long time, about a year I think. But I'm a quiet softspoken shy male and highly outnumbered.....ha ha.
But you are a respected member of the group! We love you Red
ROFL As soon as I made the last comment the blogger kicked me out!
Maybe the Blogger is telling you something. lol
Will someone help me with IE
Is there a spell check available for me to turn on
I have spell check in FF
I'm laughing with you Red.
DanaMO - I am thinking that you are worse then an old mother hen!
Couldn't help saying that! I would be thrilled to be a visitor in your
classroom for the hatchings if only
to see the expressions on the children's faces -- and yours
You're out of luck. No spell check in IE.
Jo, there don't seem to be many of us around right now and I am soooo ignorant. I don't understand the acronyms ROFL or IE or FF ????? But, I'd try to help if I could !
Liz, I am wondering what is wrong up at BRI. I'll need to read W.O.W
forum and get some information.
Kay You need to know
ROFL Rolling on floor laughing
(Usually it is continued with
letters for the wording MBO -my butt off)
IE Internet Explorer
FF Fire Fox
Duh ! I knew they'd all be something I should be able to figure out ! Thanks for the lesson ! Even knowing what IE and FF are now, I can't help. Sorry !
I had an ROFLMBO occasion yesterday when I read the "Waxing Story" !
Hi, Gang,
Checking in to see what's happening. Have been busy today cleaning house and running errands.
Mighty glad to see that Margy has some time off to enjoy! About time!!
TEAM LIBERTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy, Phoebe sure is a busy one!
Well, Hubby is due home very soon. I have a couple of bills to schedule payment for online. Better go do that before I forget! Will check back in after dinner tonight.
Gosh, it's nice here today--71 degrees and sunny. Feels like Spring!
Lynne, have you and your family in prayer today. Thinking of you! (((HUGS)))
Later, gators. :o]
What we really need is a spell checker for this blog but I don't think one is available.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA!!
Hello everyone else and hope all momsters & dadsters are safe from last night's storms.
I have never read the waxing story but I have a pretty good idea what it is about.
P.S.-- Hoping for a good report from Judie's doctor about her arteries.
OK--gotta get busy now. Later!
OK then here I go back to FF
Thanks Red - you broke my heart!lol
Hi and Bye Andrea - Glad you are
enjoying your day.
Ready for dinner here so I'll BBL
Red, Sharon in the very beginning of our blog years was the
"Spell Checker" We had fun with it.
If you have google in your tool bar there is a spell check you can use on this blog. Ok now I'm curious what is the WAX story remember I'm still a newbie that can't read all the blog One of you fantastic people need to come up with a dictionary like the cheat sheet was I have figured out a lot already Jordyns party was great yesterday always is nice when I can have family time with my daughter Poor Jordyn got her first bloody nose on her third bday was in bouncy house and nose meet Charlies head Poor thing she recovered fast kids are so resilient BBL was hoping for an evening visit Still hope
Keep your eyes on the nest.
Maybe they'll bring food in.
I don't think FF has a spell checker either. But since I don't use FF I could be wrong.
Interesting at Bri, I heard eagle screeching, pulled up the site real quick. Dad was on nest cup screaming, mom came in and landed with her wings over dad, just like she did several hours ago. They were both screaming. Dad left. Mom looked at nest cup for a long minute, then took her usual perch on branch. I saw her black dot on tail feathers again.
Time for me to be fixing dinner. See y'all later.
Yes, Firefox alerts me to misspelled
words on here when I am making comments. It creates the red underline
at the word spelled incorrectly.
Here's to you Paula ! Happy Birthday !
Picture me with glass of Chardonnay in hand. :o)
Dinner is served in this home
BBL
You are welcome anytime MeMaJo
I was sure that Red knew the wax story since he always refused it so adamantly! Guess I better send it to him and JudyE!
Lynn, I just sent it to JudyE, but don't have an e-mail address for Red.
Aw, poor Bri mom, I had heard she was not only tramatized by the attack on April 1, but also chain saws a few days later. I just heard ....a motorcyle???? and she screamed and left her perch.
we have HUMMING BIRDS!!!!!!!
just popping in to say hi and bye and to report that in my 10 minutes home the SBBC is already 20.
BBL
Kay OMG you poor thing this was the funniest story I have ever heard I almost peeded myself reading it toooo funny

Oh, Judy, it didn't happen to me ! The author seems to be "Unknown", but the story apparently makes the rounds on e-mail every once in a while. Hedgie shared it with me after I asked what the heck it meant when we turn over the 100's. I know, it really is roll on the floor funny !
Welcome Bommy so glad you stopped lurking and came into the blog. It is always good to have another person in the group to add to the
comments. ( :
That hummer doesn't know when to stop does she????
Paula enjoy that Birthday Dinner at Ajay's (:
Red you better let us know if you and Diane are ok !!!! Yes you are out numbered but you know you love it!!! You always have a joke, comment or a good receipe to share.
You can't get away from us!!!
Prayers for Judie and her legs and foot.
Lynne2 prayers for you and your family.
I added the google toolbar because it has spell check.
Good Afternoon, Eagle friends.
Pauls, Happy Birthday. Sounds loike you are being treated to some fun stuff today! Enjoy!
Christine, what exceptional news about your dad. That is awesome!
An Eastern Bluebird has built a nest in a box and so far has one beautiful egg. We are so excited!
Perhaps I need that spell check! LOL!
JudyE,here's Sharon's explanation of it posted last night:
Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...
The wax - well, we had thought that someone needed to be awarded something special for commenting on the 100 marks and it was around the same time that the wax story came out, so we decided to award the winners cans of wax to use as they saw fit. Normabyrd would always pass her can on to me when she would win. I have got to get to Romney to get her back on here. I miss her so much.

The Google tool bar is the best because you can always add one of your own words to the dictionary
I see Duke Farm 3rd egg has not finished hatching..I think a nice size crack though. From what I read.
