Eaglet Momsters & give a reason why.

Mema Jo said...

There you go - Here goes Jo back to
NCIS

hedgie said...

So Shar can be the team leader in red and the rest of us can be her underlings!

Judie said...

Hi Diann. Sorry I missed you earlier. Please feel better quickly.

Yes, I saw the third egg at Decorah. Saw the two babes being fed then squished.

Leona, Sophie is really cute. Maybe a keeper, yes?

Sharon, I forgot you earlier regarding you avatar. I like it.

Leona said...

Yes Judie she's a keeper.. but right now I might think twice on that.

stronghunter said...

Hi Judie,

Nice to see you again.

Judie said...

Missed all the activity at our nest. Glad you all provided the updates. Thanks.

I still think KayIM should claim to be a newbie. Never miss a chance to plead the 5th. while providing a lol a day.

♫♫♫Where oh where is JudyE, oh where or where can she be♫♫♫

Okay, I'm off to watch First 48.

stronghunter said...

I want to see DWTS, but I don't think I will make it tonight. We had too much drama here last night with two storm alarms. The first one got Kathryn up, and the second one got me up. And then there was the storm.

And I musn't forget the cat alarm. Kathryn was downstairs; her door was open and Lucky meowed which caused George to hiss. I grabbed George and he growled, so I yelled for Kathryn before there was a cat fight (literally), which woke up Hunter. Yikes. What a night.

No wonder Kathryn and I are both exhausted.

hedgie said...

Leona, good article in The Examiner. Very well put. Thanks!

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo I did not like how NCIS ended. Did you?

stronghunter said...

I had to stop for a snack on the way home from work to keep from falling asleep behind the wheel.

paula eagleholic said...

IWS has put the PH cam on a new nest...the Sauces nest...you can access from www.iws.org...go to interactive, then eagle nest cam

They are incubating 2 eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Dana I assume it will pick it back up next week. That definitely could not have been an ending!

stronghunter said...

Is that on Catalina Island, Paula?

paula eagleholic said...

It's on Santa Cruz, Shirley. Same island as the PH nest is on.

Lolly said...

Hello! Golly, gee whiz!! It always takes me forever to catch up on the blog!

Sure wish I had seen Turd Bird this evening. Sounds like you really had a good look at him.

Love all the avatars of Team Liberty! They rock!! LOL

Judie, good to see you have been on. You are sounding great!

Lolly said...

Need to go look for the new cam in Calif.

We went shopping for carpet and brought samples home. Think we have found some. Actually found the same carpet at two different places and the second place knew we were looking at another store and gave us a fantastic price. Wahoo! May get the bedroom carpeted too!

paula eagleholic said...

Blackwater has the chick naming contest going on....

Lolly said...

Robyn, so glad all went well today for Tori. I think having her best friend go today was a genious idea. Have you had ice cream and malts ready to eat?

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Paula, I got my California islands confused.

Lolly said...

Paula, I do not have sound at Sauces. Do you?

Leona said...

hedgie all I did was find it. I was trying to find more info on the Decorah Eagles and came across that.

paula eagleholic said...

No Lolly, I don't have any sound

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo The scenes for next week did not show it does...only hope it does.

Now just seen the news is going to show what "gas prices are going up to $6.429". OMG May the Lord help us.

Watch the news tonight it is going to show the gas prices going up.

Well it sure isn't going to stop at $5.00 like everyone thought.

JudyEddy said...

I just read that the Alcoa eaglet died yesterday So sad :o(
Ok now to get ready to sit down and watch NCIS which I dvr'd Later God Bless the Nest and all whom watch it

stronghunter said...

I have liked the Decorah cam. It's nice to see it zoom and pan around the area. Good, sharp images too.

paula eagleholic said...

There won't be any audio at the Sauces nest...they have had a cam on the nest for recording purposes only, and didn't have audio on it. They are working on the color adjustments

Robyn said...

LOL Lolly, she is loving this. Doctor said full liquid diet 3 days, puddings, jello's soups etc...

The pain isn't as bad as she thought it would be so her mood is pretty good. Tori will feel so much beter in a few days knowing all 4 are out. She will feel the difference.

I see intruder has been in the nest. What is actually going on with those 2?

stronghunter said...

Good question, Robyn.

stronghunter said...

I am going to shut things down until tomorrow. I hope we are without storms tonight. Just peaceful sleep and eagle dreams, please.

See you tomorrow.

Lolly said...

That really was a great article in The Examiner. Thanks, Leona for finding it.

PA Nana said...

Back for a few...

It's Terrific Tuesday TV and don't want to miss anything.l

Jo, NCIS ended dumb. Hope next week it continues.

NCIS LA is a repeat, thus I have a few before The Good Wife - one of my favorites.

Sorry I missed you too Judie. It sounds like you're doing much, much better.

Thanks for good thoughts Dana WV.

Lynn, if only it were that easy....

Prayers for all a good night.

Catch you later or tomorrow.
God bless!!

Mema Jo said...


Three BWE chicks need names

magpie said...

Good Timing
Finish the blog posts and there is Robyn!
Read the updates through the day's posts, all sounds good, Robyn

good Momma-ing going on at your roost for sure

magpie said...

'Night Shirley....hope you catch up on your rest

Hope some of you saw Baby Moon this evening in the West, and another full moon starts growing

Hello Eagle Pals !

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Diann! Sleep well after
The Good Wife!

magpie said...

Great evening visit pictures, Jo...

magpie said...

A little later on maybe we will hear now Wanda and Gene's Soup Kitchen went this evening

magpie said...

'now'... I mean HOW the Soup Kitchen sent

Leona said...

Glad you all enjoyed the article I found.

magpie said...

Going to bed, going straight to bed, not passing Go, not collecting $200. I'm tired! Which is not always the same, as sleepy!

Might be up for the morning nest views....might...
supposed to off tomorrow, time will tell

Prayers offered for healing and wellness, and that aches and pains take a quick hike!


God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One

xoxo ♥

Leona said...

night magpie

Judie said...

*@#@#! Came over to the computer to turn the night light on and stubbed my toe on a stupid chair. Grrrr.

Hey Margy. Missed the baby moon. Clouds. Hope you're doing well. Any James time this week?

Shirley, after last night's fiasco, I do hope you get a night of restful sleep. I probably missed your report so how is George?

Wonder what the soup kitchen menu was for tonight? Bet it was yummy.

Okay, the night light is on for anyone headed back the hallway, down to the tub, up the stairs, to the recliner, or coming in from school. The sandman will be here soon.

Lolly said...

Ouch!!!! Which foot was it Judie? Careful there!

T-Bird said...

Good evening and good night folks.

T-Bird said...

Thank you Eagle-Eyed Sharon, the most awesome sister-in-law around!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

You are so welcome T-Bird.

hedgie said...

Lisa from BW posted this on FB-----read all the way to the end......:(

Eagle Cams Addiction

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, so the last comment by T-Bird was actually me. I was signed in to her account to change her avatar. :-)

FuzzleMT said...

Thank you, Sharon!! Would LOVE to adopt your new avatar!!!

FuzzleMT said...

hmmmm - is it supposed to be red?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Do the black one FuzzleMA. I changed mine to red so Mema Jo would know it was me! :)

FuzzleMT said...

Oh, ok - glad I asked!!!

Lolly said...

LOL Sharon, that is too funny!
Glad you confessed! I fell for it!

Read the article, Lynn. Wonder how she came up with such a ficticious story. She certainly had her facts all screwed up!

hedgie said...

Judie, sure that you are already in bed sawing logzzzz...but poor toe! You need a brighter night light! Hoping that it wasn't on the bad ankle foot! And hope that it is all better by morning! Be careful.

Shirley and Margy, hope you both get well-rested tonight.

Oh, NCIS fans....I am sure that there is MTBR...if not next week, eventually! Remember how it has been on Criminal Minds and The Mentalist....a recurring psychopath.

wvgal_dana said...

Judie I'm terribly sorry you hit your toe. Sure hope it wasn't on the hurt foot. Bad enough if it was the other foot.

Heading to bed

Prayers for WVSusan and Grey you are on my mind a lot (((((hugs)))).

Prayers for those that need them; people or God's creatures great and small.

hedgie said...

Hey, Thelma....how you be??? Hope you are are doing well. Give Buddy a good ear scratch from me, okay??

Lolly said...

Time to say good night! Time to put my feet up and read a bit.

Night all! Sweet dreams!

Mema Jo said...

I even watched the 11:00 News..Nothing
worth watching. There was a good one-
Baltimore is going BLUE for Autism
Awareness. That is good!

Turned the heat back on - I need that sun to shine more then one day a week.

Sure hope Tori is smiling pretty now
that it is all over.

Mema Jo said...

Hair do tomorrow
Dr tomorrow to discuss blood work
Guess I'll be in and out here on the
blog.

Good night friends
hugs for all of you
Special prayer for Susan & Grey & his mom and all others needing help.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

hedgie said...

News is over, and I'm heading for the warm bathwater! Still want to do a little map work----have 7 new listings at the B to try to zoom in on directly---not having much luck with Google earth......

Sleep tight! DON'T let the stinkbugs bite!! (Especially Lynne!) Prayers for all.
Was hoping to hear from wv sUSAn about her MIL got along yesterday....maybe tomorrow.

Costume Lady said...

Plum worn out on our 1 year anniversary of the Soup Kitchen.

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - Susan in an email to me said
She had her first chemo and transfusion yesterday and is doing very well. ((hugs))

Mema Jo said...

Wanda that was one fast year - You & Gene have accomplished so much.
Sure am Proud to know you two!

PA Nana said...

Wanda & Gene, one year already? That year flew by quickly. You must be so proud. You both are very generous and hope that all partake of your meals really appreciate your time and efforts.
God bless you both!

Now off to catch some zzzzzzzzs catch you all tomorrow sometime.

God bless all the eagle watchers and lurkers.

Lori O. said...

Good Morning - awaiting a beautiful sunrise and gLORIously sunny day! YEAH!

Everybody's been talking about how great the cam picture is now - I can't wait to see it - but that won't be for another hour.

Kay said...

Newbies, if you, like me are wanting to know what Wanda (The Costume Lady) and the "oldies" are talking about when the Soup Kitchen is mentioned, check this out:

href=http://journal-news.net/page/content.detail/id/534841.html?nav=5006Wanda's Soup Kitchen

Kudos to you and Gene and congratulations on the one year anniversary !

DanaMo said...

Ah...got my coffee and the morning regulars are here and waiting for eagles.

Good morning Lori, and Kay.

That screen is really black this morning!

Lori O. said...

Diann - PA Nana, I read where you said your hips really hurt. Are you on a Statin drug from cholestarol? I just went to the doc last week because all my joints were so sore. Can be a Statin side effeect. Now 5 days without them and I feel 1000x better!

DanaMo said...

I hope it warms up fast. Kindergarten has a field trip today and it's all outside, even lunch. We are going to Renfrew Park in Waynesboro PA for Wake Up Earth it's Spring! Wish we were going to have the temps we had Monday!

Lori O. said...

Hello Kay and DanaMO!

Kay said...

Good Morning Lori and DanaMo ! Here's hoping we get in on a visitation this morning !

Judie, you are sooo right, I'm contented with my "newbie" status and will take the 5th at least until late March of 2012 !

Kay said...

Sounds like a fun day no matter what the weather, DanaMo ! Hope the earth pays attention and does some more Springtime waking up soon. Looks like warmer temps are ahead for Central Ohio, starting tomorrow. How about PA and WV ?

DanaMo said...

We are suppose to be in the low 60's today and then back up to 70's by next Monday. I am so ready for warmer temps. Last year we opened our pool on April 13 and one of my kids got in! It must have been a warmer spring last year.

Kay said...

Truder was on the nest for almost an hour yesterday evening, did you catch it or see pics ? According to some who check out the OD chat, there are those who still claim this is Lib with a wound. However, Truder sat at the 6 o'clock position most of that time and the cam picked up his head well. It's mottled with black feathers all over the top. No resemblance to a wound and no changes as would occur with a wound. What can those naysayers be thinking ?

Kay said...

Just had to refresh the nest cam---daylight has broken !

Lori O. said...

Have a great time on your field trip DanaMo! I cannot imagine how on earth you can keep track of 30 kids on the loose. I know you have helpers, but I'd be losing my mind! :)

Lori O. said...

Thank you to whoever did the adjustments on the camera!!! xoxo
The picture is so much sharper. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

floralgirl said...

Good morning :)
Nest weather today- Mostly sunny this morning...then mostly cloudy with isolated rain showers this afternoon. Highs around 60. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Kay said...

I think something isn't quite right about the url I posted for Wanda's Soup Kitchen. Just do a search for Brethran Angel Soup Kitchen Martinsburg WV and you'll get there.

Kay said...

Good Morning Floralgirl ! Thanks for the weather report each day !

magpie said...

Good Morning Everyone from here too.
thanks Megan once again...
sounds like a pretty good forecast

DanaMo
sounds like a great field trip coming up ! Have Fun, Take Pictures!

Kay said...

EAGLE ON Nest!!

JudyEddy said...

TuRd BiRd On NeSt

floralgirl said...

Eagle just flew in

Kay said...

It's the Truder.

magpie said...

Truder in the Center of the nest

moving fluff of which there is a LOT

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning Early Birdies!

oh, you too, Truder.

Lori O. said...

He really is funny. Truder is like an excited first-time buyer.

He really, really loves that nest.

Hey Margy and Megan!

magpie said...

sitting low in the nest around 5:30 moving sticks.
he is not very good at it
also preening

Kay said...

Good morning JudyE, Magpie, Lynne2. He shows up like clockwork, doesn't he ?

Lori O. said...

Great morning Lynne!

Kay said...

LOL Lori ! I wish he'd get buyers remorse and back out of the deal !

magpie said...

lying in the nest
head towards 10 tail towards 2
looks comfortable


Hi Lori !

JudyEddy said...

BeLlE oN nEsT

floralgirl said...

Here's Belle!

magpie said...

and hi Kay, JudyE...and ..
eeryone else !

Belle has arrived
in the center with Truder

JudyEddy said...

Good morning one and all I just love it that he shows up at the same time each day
Almost time for me to head to work Darn it anyway got a few more min have to be there at 7

Kay said...

We are eerie all right ! ;o)

floralgirl said...

Belle flew out

JudyEddy said...

POOF TURD BIRD

JudyEddy said...

bye walking out door atleast they took off before I left short visit compare to his last nite BBL

magpie said...

Follow the Leader...out goes Truder same direction as Belle left

floralgirl said...

And there goesTruder

magpie said...

daylight color on already....

Lori O. said...

Very funny Kay - but would that be Nest Remorse? :)

DanaMo said...

I went to get ready for school and missed the morning visit, darn!

Thanks everyone, it should be a fun day! I will take lots of pictures, I always do! I think I'll take my little Flip video camera too, love that thing!

Kay said...

Yeh, that's the ticket, Lori ! "Nesters Remorse"---go for it Truder !

Lori O. said...

Just amazing how much better the picture on the cam is...love it.

Pretty flower avatar Margy!

Hello to JudyE - good morning.

DanaMo said...

Is it my eyes or is the egg cup pretty well covered up now? I'm just noticing that it looks like a lot of grass and stuff on the floor of the nest.

Kay said...

Enjoy, DanaMo, and let us know how it went. I'm betting you'll hear a lot of cute kidisms !

magpie said...

You are right DanaMo-
lots of covering on the old nest cup area...your eyes are working fine

Kay said...

DanaMo, they both picked at and fluffed up that area of the nest. Memories, a fixation ???

floralgirl said...

Have fun DanaMo! Renfrew is so pretty, haven't been there in many years, went when my kid was in elementary school.

magpie said...

Belle did not seem the least bit interested while Truder was moving sticks
thought he was going to smack her with that one long skiny stick he was working on, back before they left
Now if that been Liberty, we would have seen some interaction !

I would just like to see what they eat and when...'cause they sure don't bring it to the nest

Kay said...

Off to my newspapers. BBL HAGD !

magpie said...

Nest Visit Review:
6:26 am
Truder Arrives moves around the nest from 12 o'clock to 5:30 o'clock, preens,
moves fluff around
6:34 Belle arrives
Truder moves sticks on L side of nest
Belle totally seems disinterested
6:38 Belle leaves, from 8 or 9 o'clock spot
6:38 Truder leaves, from 9:30 o'clock

THE END

PS Times are a little approximate, used everyone's post times

magpie said...

Best wishes for a good day everyone...

time to disappear, going to work with the Dinosaur for awhile...
xoxo ♥

Geula said...

Good morning, Moms and Dada!. I'm a copycat, so what! LOL! How's everyone, after that bad spell of weather?

hedgie said...

Tues. Bear Report


Good humpday AM!

magpie said...

Good Morning Geula... from the dinosaur and me.....I am working on the beast, about to offload some more pictures, have hundreds of them to do

How's Norfolk Daddy coming along???
xoxo ☺

magpie said...

Hi Hedgie !

magpie said...

by the way
I had loaded some wildflower pics on my blog, had one mislabeled, thought it was Spring Beauty, but it is Hepatica
had to reload the set up again to correct the title
So Lynn, thanks for your comment but it is gone now 'cuz I don't know how to change just the title
:(

magpie said...

disappearing again...
Good Morning in advance to more Morning People ..
ttfn xo

hedgie said...

I can't believe that it's been a year, Wanda and Gene! Time flies, doesn't it??!!
KayIM---link not entered correctly!

Wanda's Soup Kitchen

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning in Eagle Land Lori, Kay, DanaMO, Megan, Margy, Lynne2, JudyE, Geula, Hedgie-Lynn, and our Lurkers ( :

DanaMO hope you have a great field trip day.

Prayers for Grey's Mother, Susan's MIL.

Kay thanks for bringing to our attention the Soup Kitchen in the newspaper. Wanda and Gene do a wonderful job. I am sure it can wear them out some. So I pray for strength for them always.

hedgie said...

Lori, so glad the statin change has helped you feel so much better. It's such a common side effect.....don't know why docs don't warn people.

hedgie said...

KAYIM----thanks for posting that story about Wanda and Gene...it's been a year since I read it! Nice to re-read about our special friends!!! Wanda and Captain/Father Gene are the BEST!
As you saw, I put it in the link form for you!

hedgie said...

LORI-----the cam is better because the sound is off! Read the note under the cam about why!! Isn't it a shame that it takes sacrificing one for the other?

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie-Lynn thank you put putting the link to the Soup Kitchen up.

Wow Wanda and Gene a year...just seems like yesterday you two were talking of starting it up. Contragulations!!!!!!!!

Hedgie-Lynn as far as the sound. If you remember last year. We were so excited when we heard shots. We were called NCTC to find out "why so close to the nest". It really wasn't as close to the nest as we thought. The cam just picked up the sound. So this year while they do training that is loud. They have the sound turned off until that loud training is over. Truthfully we were calling them and emailng them last year about the "LOUD SHOTS" we would hear.

hedgie said...

Time for papers and a bit of breakfast. BBL.

wvgal_dana said...

I have a question which is not related to eagles or webcams. Say if one's mother or father is put into a nursing home by their doctor. If the mother or father runs out of money. Do they come after the mother or fathers adult children for the money?

hedgie said...

That was two ago, Dana---end of Jan. '09. Who can forget all that turmoil? That is why we ended up with only one eaglet that year.

Geula said...

Norfolk Daddy has been painted and is waiting to go into the kiln. Unfortunately, he'll have to wait a while for that because the instructor decided do the ones that have been fired once already, because they are probably gifts for Passover for people! I feel like a little kid who is so disappointed!

I did take a pic of him in case something happens to him in the kiln! I'm almost positive he has no air bubbles but sometmes someone elses work can explode in there and ruin the work next to it!

Costume Lady said...

Geula, makes you feel like the Red-Headed Step Child, doesn't it?;)

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

hedgie said...

Dana, the answer to your question is complicated and iffy.....it depends on the state in some cases, and the financial circumstances of the adult children. If the parent meets the qualifications, they must go on Medicaid to start with. You need to talk to an elder-care advisor in WV for details.

Costume Lady said...

GEULA, don't know if you had a chance to read my comment and thanks to you about the on-going danger in your part of the world.
My Pastor is home, safe and sound and dispite hearing bombs and gunfire, had a wonderful experience in the Holyland.

hedgie said...

Geula, it may not be proper to pray about material things, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I pray that your eagle does great during firing! And I wish that it could be fired all by itself!!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!

Costume Lady said...

The answer to your question, DANA, is, NO. If the parent owns their own home, that will be sold and monies given to the nursing home.
Should say, that is my understanding of the situation.

Costume Lady said...

Sorry, Lynn...didn't mean to step on your toes!:)
Seems like, when my dad was in the Nursing Home, medicare paid for the first 6 months and then, Mom had to start paying out of pocket.
Was $5000 then (10 years ago), probably $6 or $7000, now.

NatureNut said...

Good Morning Everyone!
Thank you Sharon for avatar!!!!
Didn't get on here yesterday at all---konked out in loungechair after dinner. I don't do early mornings!
Doing homework on puter at home this AM. One at farmhouse office work has konked!What else is new. Will try to check comments this PM.
Hope you and all our animals have a lovely day!

magpie said...

Helllooo there Wanda...
I just viewed Just For Fun....beautiful narrative, but I cannot view the pictures, have three boxes with Red X's - - is it just me ?

Good Morning More Eagle People !

hedgie said...

Wanda, they say it costs over $50,000 a year for nursing home care now.......and most elderly people are never going to have that kind of savings or proceeds from a home sale. Rules vary by state but there are lots of variants. I was just checking this out over the weekend.

Info about Child's responsibility

hedgie said...

It is called Filial Responsibility....I don't know if WV has the law or not because I have no involvement in a WV situation.

Geula said...

Okay , wise people! How do I link my blog to my blogger profile....

hedgie said...

Loretta----Sharon's RED avatar is so that Jo can identify her....the rest of us are to use the black one!!!

hedgie said...

Don't know what you mean, Geula? Try doing a google search for blog help---you may find the answer to what you need there!

Geula said...

Anyway, I posted a pic of Norfolk Daddy on my brand new blog! YAY ME! I feel proud of myself....it's good exercise to pat one's own back!

magpie said...

Nice going Geula!
You did it !!!

Costume Lady said...

Geula, you did it perfectly!

Costume Lady said...

Margy, we stepped on each other, commenting on Geula's Norfolk Daddy:)

magpie said...

Okay - a female something we call a beauty,
a male is a.....what?
Handsome-y?
Hottie?
Looker?

Big Grin Here!

Now all I need to do is find that Panda forum! I'm almost sure it's from Hancock, under Bears, but I can't seem to navigate there very well! ::SIGH::

Margy, don't know what virus has attacked my blogs, but I can't post anything right and sometimes, not at all. I've been working on it, but to no avail.

back later...
Nice Weather here, though a wee bit cool !

Good Morning Wanda ( : Tell Gene I said "hi". Beautiful article in the newspaper. Hope you seen my comment at 8:38AM this thread. ( :


Yea Geula you are an expert now hee hee

magpie said...

it's a bummer when strange things happen with a computer that normally behaves nicely !!

wvgal_dana said...

Margy I have heard so many people say "it is not the computer but the operator". I don't believe that because I can be in email and not touching my computer and the size of things start changing. It will sometimes even send an email before I am finished typing it.

I THINK THEY TRUTHFULLY HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN....scarey yikes

Got my Lady of the Loch book ordered from SWF! New printing expected to arrive there in a few days---I think he said it was the 3rd printing! And the L of the L book by Helen Armitage is due to be released through Amazon sometime this month!

Lynn, this familial responsibility is quite scary. Have to check out the WV laws. Doesn't seem fair that a child should be responsible for their parent's finances.

If a parent signs their house and anything of value to the child and 5 years have passed, then if a Nursing Home is needed, the home cannot be used to pay the Nursing Home bills...this was the law a number of years ago, don't know about now. Seems the government is changing everything to it's own advantage, now. It's a scry situation, getting old!

Hedgie, thank you for amending my link about the Soup Kitchen. Your student flubbed up---you need to give me a few whacks across the back of the hand with your ruler ! WVDana has sent me the instructions and I can see where I went wrong. Thank you, Dana ! Will keep all the bold, blue, link stuff by the computer now !

Real Simple Magazine on line has this quote today and it seems appropriate for me as I strive to keep up with current technology !

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
― C.S. Lewis

Geula---GREAT job....both your lovely eagle guy and the blog!

Poor Margy....the dinosaur won't know how to act when you dump all those pics! I need to do the same thing on my PC.

Dana, I seem to have that problem a lot with emails sending before I hit send. And on Yahoo Momster mail, if I started to type a response, it jumps to the end of the page. ARGH! I suspect that maybe my little finger hits something on the keyboard because it's smaller and flatter than on the PC.because the problem doesn't happen on it!

Thank you Kay and Lynn for posting the link to the Soup Kitchen article. I didn't remember so many errors in the info. Mainly, I was and am not a VOLUNTEER at NCTC and as our Pastor said,
"It will be a simple meal, with simple food served in a simple manner", Our food is not SIMPLE, we have found a way to make SPECIAL meals from very little money. If we are going to cook for someone, we want it to be very good, not simple!
We did have a good meal last evening, although HOT DOGS are simple, Gene made a wonderful meat sauce to put on them.
MENU:
BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP
HOT DOGS/MEAT SAUCE
CORN BREAD
COCONUT CAKE
HOMADE CHERRY PIE
COFFEE, TEA, LEMONADE
