Lori O. said...

No way, I don't want WAX!
I thought that was just for the first person on the New Thread.

Lori O. said...

KAY - Have fun with your Grandson and granddog!

Lynne2 said...

I see we need to review our Beauty Awards Schedule once more.

WAX is for the person posting on the hundred. (100th post, 200th post, 300th post, etc.)

PSF Poop Shoot Facial is for the first person who makes the NEW THREAD announcement

FISHICURE is for the person who makes the first post on a new thread.

Sometimes the PSF winner also gets a FISHICURE.

LOL!!

Good Morning early birds at the SSCC!

Lori O. said...

Good morning Lynne - I'll share my WAX with you.

Good thing we have you to keep things running by the rules. :)

floralgirl said...

That's too many rules for me...
The sun is shining and I gotta get to work. Need to transplant 450 tomato plants and plant 1,200 lisianthus.
Have a great day everybody!

Lori O. said...

I'm gonna blast off now. Have a great day everyone. Blessings and Prayers for all posted needs. Make it a great day!

♥♥ TEAM ♥ LIBERTY ♥♥

Lynne2 said...

these are not rules, they are awards!

Gotta head out to get ready for work. Have a good day all!

Lori O. said...

MEGAN - I love, love, love lisianthus. I have a hard time growing them. :(
Are you going to sell them in bunches or variety bouquests?

Judie said...

Good morning.

Megan, hope you have a day of sunshine and zero precip. Thanks for the weather report. Lots of planting so hope it goes quickly.

KayIM, enjoy your dog-sitting and grandson sitting.

Leaving for school in a little while.

Wishing everyone a lovely day.

Back tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Just want to thank everyone for their early morning reports, as I am never up that early!

Mema Jo said...

Good Tues Morning to everyone-
I need to tell you that our
Early Birds are fantastic! I look forward to reading their am comments! Love ya!

I am awaiting the arrival of 2 of my daughters who are visiting today

Checked out MT nest, Lacey and Lilly & the Decorah eagles nest..
The Ustream system has soooo many
links down on the right side. Almost anything you would care to watch.

Megan You have a busy day planned and I promise NOT to do any rain
dance motions!

Lolly said...

Good morning, Paula! I think all the early birds have departed! I certainly am never up that early, though I would love to share in Lori's coffee as well as the good times.

We have sunshine here, but record breaking lows. Is that not wild? 45 here this morning.

Going to do clean up in the yard today....branches, twigs, leaves everywhere. Will pick up the big stuff then mulch the smaller stuff with the mower.

Lolly said...

Oh, you snuck in...good morning, Jo. (((hugs)))

Lolly said...

Yes, I love reading the morning crew's comments. Always enjoyed Suz and Norma's morning comments and miss them so very much.

Lolly said...

Yes, I have Lilly Grace up, too. Just dearly love to watch her frolicking and Momma chasing after her. So funny!

Linda said...

Good Morning Lolly, Jo & Paula....and whoever else is lurking!!

I'm another one that can't get up that early to save my soul!!

It's fun to read the SSCC posts, isn't it?

Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!!

I'll be working at my desk again today....

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
Our morning momsters are SUPER!
I'm so pleased with our group of newbies...they ROCK! Wish I had more time to spend chatting with them:( Getting ready to head for the Soup Kitchen. We have a great meal planned. Hope the rain doesn't keep our guests away.

Linda said...

Wanda - That is so awesome that you do that. That is a lot of work.

What is on the menu today?

Linda said...

Oh Lolly - I saw a pileated woodpecker in the yard today. They are sooooo big.

And Dennis got a picture of a Baltimore Oriole checking out our hummingbird feeder. Maybe when I go out tomorrow I'll get an oriole feeder, too.

We are really seeing lots of birds this year.

Of course, the last few years I was working outside the home full time, so that is probably why I didn't know we had all these birds!! LOL

Costume Lady said...

LINDA, GG used to have an Oriole feeder and they did come to partake of the nectar. Too difficult for her to take care of anymore and I have too many other things to do for her to tend to that:( She gets to see them flying through the trees at the bottom of her yard, though.


MENU:
CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
BBQ CHICKEN
CORN
BISCUITS
WATERGATE CAKE
COFFEE, LEMONADE, ICED TEA

Costume Lady said...

Have a great day, everyone♥ BBL

Linda said...

Sounds great, Wanda!!

Don't overdo it!! ♥♥♥

Lolly said...

Been over on fb checking all the comments. I need to keep an eye on my feeder to see if the Indigo Bunting returns. Would love to get a picture.

Love the piliateds! Yes, they are so big. Have only seen them twice. Got a great picture in OK and then saw one last fall in Virginia. It was making a racket while flying over. I just saw his silhouette.

Anonymous said...

I have just a nimute before taking the kids to lunch. Just wanted to check in and say hello to all you wonderful people out there. Probably be back on after school. You all have a good day.

Lolly said...

You have a great day, Wanda! We will look forward to tonight report on the meal.

Lolly said...

You have a great day, Candy! Love seeing you peek in!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning My Wonderful Group of Friends ( :

Been making phone calls setting up appointments for fan went bad in range hood. Car light appointment.

How good it is to see "eyeballs looking at you" all of you ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda that sounds like a wonderful meal you and Gene have planned for the Soup Kitchen.

Lolly said...

I had not seen this.

News story on OK nest

Linda said...

You have to wonder how many eaglets were tossed out of nests during all those violent storms around the country. We only know of some of the many nests in the country!

And the birds, too......

Lolly said...

I see that they are going to have a memorial bench for the NBG female eagle. If we determine next year that Lib is not returning, for sure, that is what I would like for us to do. Hopefully, that would be acceptable by NCTC.

Lolly said...

I am not getting any eaglet momster mail. What is up? Did not get any yesterday either.?????

Lolly said...

I am off to start my day. Time to eat, walk, and then head outside.

Added three pairs of jeans to my wardrobe this morning. Tried on some old jeans that had been put aside as too small. Fun to "shop" that way. Did not get into those jeans when I lost weight 2 years ago but have done that now. Wow!

paula eagleholic said...

Lori, I love lisianthus too! Megan uses them in mixed bouquets...and sometimes I think she does just lisianthus

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Candy! Have a great day!

I heard Orioles like oranges! Maybe you could toss a couple of cut up ones out there for them.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Linda and Lolly.

Mom has a beautiful bench by my fathers grave.

It would be nice to do something like that for Liberty. If they would allow us.

movin said...



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

GOOD TUES MORN
TO YOU ALL.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Last day of a Santa Ana condition it looks like. It's 61° in So Cal now and intending to reach the mid 80's sometime later.

glo said...

Good morning everyone. I am a late starter but actually have been EXTREMELY phone busy all morning. My phone never seems ot ring these days but it rang 3 times this morning and all were very important calls. 2 of them took quite some time. Slate remains very full today. Gardens are all mulched and all the spring pretties are in their place. its my favorite season to look at my yard. Birds are exploring all the new places to eat/ maybe find a house that fits them etc. Today I need to trim and mow out back and do some touch up painting on the front deck. The sun has gone behind the clouds though :-(. It was supposed to be sunny and nice through tomorrow . Oh well its not raining. Got a few flowers to plant and actually off to buy a hanging plant or 2 and mail a couple of Mothers Day cards. Then hopefully a little warmer and sunshine outside.

Checkin much later is my guess today. Have a good one.

hedgie said...

Good late morning all.
Lolly, Momster mail has been scant for over a week....don't know what's up with that.

Thanks for all earyl AM visit reporting. Yep---too early for this retired gal, too!

Megan, hope you get a lot of your planting done. Weather report said stuff would stay west of 81----hope that holds true for you! Clouds have already started rolling in.

Liesl was up during the night---which meant I was, too....around 5. But went right back to sleep after I took her out.
Have learned that she does NOT do a leash----thought I could kind of force the issue this morning---LOL, NOT with a cat collar----it breaks away!
Trainer gave me a website to order a special kind of halter for little dogs, so going to order that now.

Wanda, if you haven't left yet----you have important email!!!

hedgie said...

HIP-HIP HOORAY!!! Myrtle has emerged!!! She is back! And re-counting----this is her 7th year!!!
She is in the yard. 3rd time that first sighting has been within the fence, so wonder if she winters in the bottom of a tree where there is a deep hollow. Hmmm!!! She seems to be flummoxed by the new fence. Hasn't found the gate yet where she normally comes and goes in and out!

bev. said...

Good morning,

It has been awhile since I was here.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers for my daughter and her fiancee.
I cannot remember what I have shared but Jett was born april 17 at 29 weeks. He was 3 pounds 3 ounces.
He is doing just great. What a trooper .
He has already been transferred to a different hospital because he is doing so well. He was only ever on the ventilator for a few hours.
Your prayers is what made it happen. I truly believe this.

all babies loose weight at birth and he did but he gained it all back plus another 4 ounces.
Kristy hs been pumping from day 1 and so he has been getting her milk . Yesterday she started semi breast feeding him andhe took to it really well. Do not know how long he will be there but at this rate not as long as usual

I will ocntinue in new note

hedgie said...

Okay, I put her by the gate, and out she went!

bev. said...

To continue,
It has been very hectic and Kristy and fiancee spend 24/7 at hospital. He goes right from work.
so I am cleaning their house and washing clothes. Any takers to do mine

so once again thank-you from the bottom of my heart.

movin said...

Has anyone seen eggs at either Finnish nest??

Both females are down in egg cup this morning, but I don't know if they've actually laid yet.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

hedgie said...

Interesting article about the OK nest.

hedgie said...

Wind really blowing at the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Bev,
That is just wonderful news! We have been wondering how the little guy was doing! Thanks for sharing his name, too...Jett.

bev. said...

Now for bird stuff.
I choose to believe that was not Liberty and that he is soaring high.

so much has happened in eagle world and falcon world this year.


My season has just started. WE have eggs at most of our sites and now hatch in June and then fledge watch.
I am afraid I will not be doing as much as family has to come first

How are all of you? Some of you were having operations and I do not have time to look back. I will have to start fresh .

WE finally got a majority in our election and we will see where hat takes us.

Have a great day.
My snow is gone but at Easter we put Easter ears on Santa Scene and a rabbit in the sled. It is now down Finally

paula eagleholic said...

RE Momster Mail...there just hasn't been very much!

hedgie said...

Jim, there are eggs on Finney2, but we can't see into the egg cup on #1 to know. FinFerry is not close enough to see there. But since mama seems to be roosting on both of them, would imagine there probably is eggs. There are 2 in Finney2.

hedgie said...

Bev, SO glad to hear that the little guy is doing well. We have missed you, but figured that you had your hands full. If I lived there, I'd come do your work for you!
Do you have any pictures to share yet???!!! Prayers have and will continue for the whole family!

bev. said...

Wind is howling here and raining.
We may get spring flowers yet.

I did have chickadees interested in my nest box but I have not seen them last couple of days.

My pooches are so glad the snow is gone. they run up a storm in back yard.

Kitchen is almost done. for a 4 day job it has been 2 months and holding. I finally have a stove. Now to learn how to use it LOL

Linda said...

Bev - So glad little Jett is coming along and is such a trooper. That must so exhausting on all of you. Kristy sounds like quite the mother already!! We continue to keep you and your family in our prayers.

hedgie said...

Lolly, I found two pairs of jeans that I can now get into, too! When bagging up clothes for Wanda's clothes closet, I thought I should try them on---they are good ones and only a few years old----and they were comfortable again! Before I felt like I couldn't breathe with them snapped and zipped! Congrats, girlfriend!

Candy changed her moMiker!!! Cool!

Linda said...

Lunn - Myrtle??

Linda said...

WV Dana - Sorry I missed your "Good Morning!"

Hope you're having a good day today. It's spring like up here in northeast PA! Finally.....

bev. said...

I have some picutres but How do I share??? thank-you for continued prayers Hedgie and for the offer to help do my house.

Thanks also Paula.

Life will settle down by summer I hope.

hedgie said...

Bev, bet you will cook up a storm when you have time!! Did your hubby get the Christmas stuff put away? Neighbor two houses down still has lights on an evergreen at end of their driveway. On from 7:30-10:30 day and night!

Lolly said...

Bev....wonderful news about Jett! Sounds like he is a real trooper and all is going to be well. Know you all will be so thrilled when you get to bring him home. Wow!

LOL Love it! Rabbit ears on Santa, that is priceless!

Lynn, so happy that Myrtle has made her appearance. I always laugh when I read about Myrtle. I have a little sand cast turtle that sits on the table on the back patio. Laurel gave it to me. And, it has a wee turtle on it's back. Years ago, I named them Myrtle and Fyrtle, and would rub Fyrtles back, hoping that Ashley would conceive. LOL Hey, I think it worked!☺

bev. said...

Yes Linda,
she is gong to be a real great mom and her fiancee is real hands on also. He changed first diaper.

You have sure had a lot of storms down in the states. I hope none of you were in harms way.

bev. said...

thanks Lolly for kind comments

Yup, hedgie, 2 days after Easter he could finally pull them out of ground.
Peter will enjoy me cooking . Beats what we have been having.

Lolly said...

Bev...we can give you instructions on setting up a blog on your profile if you want. If we can do it, you can do it!

Linda said...

Okay, so I am guessing Myrtle is a Turtle!!

Lolly - great for you and your FREE shopping spree!!

Lolly - How did Laurel fare with the rain and water Sunday night? I don't think I caught up from Sunday night through Monday morning yet.

Lolly said...

We remodeled our kitchen in 1996. We put out microwave in the bathroom and ate off TV trays in the bedroom. LOL So, Bev, know what you have been going through. Been there, done that!

Lolly said...

They got more rain, but it did not come down hard so they did well. Thank you, for asking. Joey's office is now at home and they keep sand bags ready as well as a sump pump. They flooded once when they got over 10 inches of rain in a short period of time. Now they know and stand prepared.

Linda said...

We were so blessed when we remodeled our kitchen back in 2004 in FL. Since Dennis built the cabinets himself, he would build a section at a time and when it was ready - remove the old and bring in the new.

Of course there were some structural changes, but the main appliances stayed in just about the same spots. He did such an excellent job of keeping the kitchen functional while he did his building.

Lolly said...

The developer of their subdivision did not plan well. They have pasture land behind their house. When it pours the pasture drains through their property as well as their neighbors. Neighbors have paid for expensive ground work including french drains. Laurel and Joey can not afford it. They have a dry creek area now to carry off the rain water down the side of the house, however if it pours it does not handle all the water.

Off to walk!

Linda said...

I think we may go through another kitchen remodel in our PA house this year......if Dennis is up for it. I would love to replace the cabinets here and change a few other things.

Now that we finally sold our home in FL we can make some changes to the house here that we've wanted to do for 4 years!!

bev. said...

I am still waiting for microwave and fridge. we will use old fridge, but I use microwave to thaw out things for supper. Needless to say , I forget and then grilled cheese it is or KD

thanks for offer to set up blog. I cannot today as i am off in a few minutes but I will come in tomorrow morning.

Have a nice walk Lolly.

Our rivers are flowing over here but we are fine where we are.

Linda said...

Gosh, Lolly, that is horrible that the developer didn't come in and fix his mistakes!!

We had a couple homes built after ours in FL, and the codes changed to where the homes had to be built up higher to avoid flooding as well. The only problem was that those of us in the older homes had to take on the water from the newer built up lots.

Our back yard used to resemble a lake when we would get lots of rain and our shed on the back of the property flooded twice. Not much you can do!

bev. said...

Our next thing after this is done is Peters bathroom but we have bedroom and bath on 3rd level . so we will not be put out. WE have another bath on same level as Peters but I would rather not be on that level at all.

then they will have to drag me out of here. Kicking and screaming, or in a box LOL

I must run.
Have a great Day.
take some time for you

Linda said...

Bev - Glad you could visit for a while. Take it easy! Sounds like your plate is very full.

Continued prayers for your family and looking forward to the day when your grandson can come home.

Have a great day!

wvgal_dana said...

Bev so good to hear Jett is coming along. ( :
Prayers will continue...

PALinda sounds like a great job in the kitchen in Florida.

You'll have to get us before and after pics. If you do anything to your kitchen in PA.

I still haven't found my camera. So I guess no pics from me.

I am going to get dressed and still check in.

Going to make a run today since tomorrow has Martinsburg appt. To take another pair of shoes back to Hagerstown today. (5th pair) Yes all different type and brands for sneakers. After a week of wearing in house throws back out.

hedgie said...

Liesl is down for her nap. Lunchtime for me! This is the longest she's been up and about so far! 5 hrs. I'm tired!

hedgie said...

FinFerry has an egg!!!!


And Phoebe's little one that fell out of the nest did not survive at rehab. :(

JudyEddy said...

Wow thanks for that story I posted to my face book page also Love it Now off to work

JudyEddy said...

hedgie said...

Finney1 has an egg!!!!!! Got a couple of pics---one great one of fish delivery!! Will put on my blog after lunch.

Lolly said...

Finished my walk.

Linda, we have been in this house 38 years this summer. With the kitchen remodel they gutted the kitchen. We got all new appliances except the refrig, all new cabinets, and new flooring. Also, an entire wall of bookcase and cabinets in the den and new carpeting at that time.

Then two years later we remodeled our bath and Jack's workshop was built. After the remodeling in 96 and 98 we retired in 2000. We would like to redo the patio roof, but that will have to wait. Jack is getting ready to build a new gazebo out back over the present back patio. It is going to be great. Not sure when he is going to do it. It is in the planning stage at present.

hedgie said...

Wind is blowing hard here now.....oak pollen threads are raining down. Guess I won't get anything done outside today.
And SIL and his bro are no shows....now they say Sat. ARGH!

Lolly said...

Oh, I am so happy we are beyond the oak and pecan pollen and junk that falls. That is the only part of spring that I dislike! Annie brings so much "stuff" into the house and she hates being combed. But, we do what we gotta do! Oh, and does she ever talk bad to us! LOL

hedgie said...

Linda, Myrtle is my box turtle who resides somewhere here on my 2 acres. This is the seventh year. CHeck my blog for pics of her (Oct.'09) and I think Aug. '10 for the intruders, Hugo and ITT!!!

hedgie said...

Bev, many momsters and dadsters WERE in harms' way with the twisters, but,praise the Lord, all came through safely. Red did have to leave his house for several days in Huntsville, Alabama, due to extended power outage. He's on O2 24/7 so needed electricity. He was able to go to his brother's in Tennessee.

BTW---I did finally hear form my cuz near Red's. All okay for her, too, except no power for her at home or work.

paula eagleholic said...

Eatin time at NBG...love how they talk at the person!

hedgie said...

Finland1 pics on my blog!!

hedgie said...

Updates from WCV:
Eaglets

Did not know there was a lead issue....:(

hedgie said...

Gotta make a quick trip out. BBIALW.

Linda said...

I disappeared for a while....trying to get some desk work done!!

Lolly - That is so neat that you have been in the same home for 38 years. I always thought that would be neat to come back and visit your parents in the home you grew up in. You do have a beautiful home, too!

I guess remodeling is inevitable over the years!!

Linda said...

Lynn - That's something else about your turtle!! 7 years.....

Interesting that they are handling the NBG eaglets so much. I wonder if they will continue to weigh them every week. One would wonder if they would get really used to humans.

But............they have been doing this a long time, and have had many successful fledges, so who am I to wonder??

I am glad the youngest is finally catching up in weight!!

Linda said...

Now I have to go and figure who is making a mess of a nest just above one of the doors out to our deck. They have built a nest with mud (that has dripped onto the glass part of the door LOL) and lots of green moss.

The bird looks to be brownish on the back and head, white chest with maybe a tint of yellow in the upper chest. I have to get a better look. I was thinking maybe a warbler of some kind, but not sure.

To be continued.......

Linda said...

Oh....and the nest is right on top of a spot light that lights up the back yard and deck. We don't want to FRY any eggs up there, so the light will have to be off limits for the time being!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Linda, the robins nest I have on my front porch is on the light too...can't use it for now!

They will weigh and take blood once a week for the NBG eaglets

hedgie said...

SNAKE!!!! Took Liesl out and there was long black snake along the outside of the fence. He went behind the propane tank and then proceeded to start climbing the house. Last I saw he was going in behind the chimney. Called Bill to make sure that there wasn't anyway he can get IN the house....he says there isn't. He was getting close to the bush that has the cardinal nest....but after she finished building it, I haven't seen her near it...so don't think there's any eggs.

Linda said...

YIKES, Lynn!! I don't like SNAKES!!!

hedgie said...

I've had the birds build on top of the porch light fixture, too, as well as over the sliding door to the balcony off my bedroom (it was a muddy mess, too!). So far, none on floodlights!! THey would definitely fry on them!

Linda said...

I'm wondering if my birds making the nest could be Eastern Phoebes.

I am going to go back outside with my field glasses and take a closer look. Based on the type of the nest and where they decided to build it, sounds like it might be......

BRB

hedgie said...

Now he's behind the chimney higher up. I know he can't hurt me, BUT....still....it's the idea. Don't want him hangimng around here. :(

Linda said...

I don't even like those little garden snakes..... Yuk!

Linda said...

Didn't see the birds to try to figure out what they are.....

Will try again later!

paula eagleholic said...

Comment on NBG blog

VDGIF:
The bald Eagle Repository has an incredible backlog of Native Americans with applications to receive eagle feathers for ceremonial purposes. She will be forwarded to the Repository.

NBG Dad was spotted eating in the garden today :)

Lynne2 said...

SSSHHHH I'm sneaking in from work to say hi!

Lynne2 said...

slower kinda day today! but gotta run....see ya tonight!

Lynne2 said...

some could be in for bad weather so keep those eyes to the skies! Severe Storm Watch in effect for many

Lynne2 said...

Linda, I am eating M and M's....BAD! Are your working on your blog?

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Checking in quickly so you won't worry about me.

Bev, it's good to "see" you here! Great news about little Jett! Prayers for him continue, with thanks given for prayers answered.

I am making a list of questions so that when I go to see the Dean of Admissions at the school, I won't forget to ask anything. The more I think about yesterday, the more angry I become.

YIKES!! Let me preface what I'm about to say with a few words of explanation. We pretty much told the extermination company to take a hike, after they said they didn't want to keep setting rat traps in the attic because our trees were so big. They said we needed to get them trimmed (to do all 3 would cost a fortune!) so the critters wouldn't use them to get on the roof. Well, they have told us in the past that rats can easily climb up stucco walls!

When we heard obvious rustling noises in the attic, we bought some sticky traps and put them in the recessed lighting shelf in the living room. There is direct access to the attic from there. Long story short, a rat must have been caught in one and died, because, well, I smell a rat.
To make things worse, it's supposed to be 90 degrees here today! EEEwwwww!

Ms Bookworm said...

Can't wait for Hubby to get home. I don't want to climb the ladder to get the yucky rat out of there! Wish he didn't have to do it, but he's a bit taller, so won't have to climb as high on the ladder.

Ms Bookworm said...

Gotta get busy again. Will check back in later tonight!

Lynn, YAY! Myrtle is back!!!

Linda said...

Lynne - PUT THOSE M&M's DOWN RIGHT NOW!!!!!

The least you could do was share!! LOL

Not working on the blog....too busy with work still!

Maybe next week.....

JudyEddy said...

BEV so glad the little one Jett is doing better Will keep in prayers as always do you have pictures of your rabbit santa sound to cute

LYNN Eating MMs are they the pretzel ones they are to die for I love them I just don't but them any more I'm the kind of person that would eat the whole bag so I just don't buy
So sounds like all had a good day either gardening or working Ok I need to go clean house and I didn't speed but I did get the read all the blog today I ususally don't but today not so many entries My neck says Yeah HA HA Now I must go do something even if it wrong I will be lurking for out guest to arrive
And I have decided to set my alarm clock back maybe 10 min being the eagles arrive before 6 getting up that time miss the arrival and it won't kill me to get up a little earlier I think OK bye again

Judie said...

Lynn, maybe you need a leash for Liesl that is low to the ground? lol

Linda said...

Lynne - I PROMISE I won't tell Lolly.....if YOU SHARE!!

JudyEddy said...

they just announced that the Navy Seals are getting all kinds of donations since they were responsible They got 6T just Monday alone which is a record Great news I think Ok back to news and other stuff I have sometimers and if I would have waited to tell you all that I would have forgot Again its the SOMETIMERs I have LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Judie, those pretzel M&M's are to die for...I'm like you...I've had to stop buying that stuff cause I'll eat the whole thing!

Judie said...

Okay, exam is over and no cheaters caught. Grad student said she never saw students take an exam and then hug or high-five the professor. I told her it's okay -- they're all perverts.

Got my ankle Xrayed for Thursday a.m.

Jo, sure hope you had a fun day with daughters.

As for jeans that now fit, congratulations to Lolly and Lynn. I've not been so lucky given lack of mobility. Can't move fast enough to burn calories and fast-fowarding the remote apparently doesn't count.

Bev, thank you for sharing the good news about Jett making such good progress. Wishing the best.

Lynn, so happy Myrtle has returned another year. Can't wait until she and Liesl meet. Remember, black snakes are GOOD snakes. They eat up stuff we don't want inside. By-the-way, I don't remember what happened to Hugo and ITT.

Andy, so sorry another expisode of rat catching. Just as sorry about the job fiasco yesterday. I'm glad you plan to have a discussion with the Dean. Keep up posted.

Judie said...

Now, hi to everyone else. Not ignoring you. Sounds as if most everyone had a good day.

Our old place really needs some upgrading but not sure what to do, if anything, should we decide on a retirement/continuous care move.

Really hoping Megan got her planting done.

Thinking about Shirley, of course.

Linda said...

Gotta Run.

Have a great evening friends. Won't be back till late....if at all tonight!

Lynne - BEHAVE yourself!! LOL

JudyEddy said...

Ultimate Dog Tease
This is cute

hedgie said...

I have never heard of M&M pretzels.....explain, please!

Judie, hurray! Another semester over----good for you, and glad there were no cheaters!

Andy....too bad you smell a rat....I think you did yesterday, too, without knowing it.....DO lay it all out to the Dean.

Hi,

Gotta turn this off for awhile. I can't help but giggle when I read certain comments--"perverts?" The students coming in for SAT review are going to think I am loony.

BBL.

Truder Alert

PA Nana said...

EAGLE!!

Hi everyone

JudyEddy said...

Hes all alone where is belle

JudyEddy said...

Justing sitting at the 10 Now looking around

JudyEddy said...

Picking at sticks a stick and stopped

JudyEddy said...

Looking around as if he hears something No sound on nest either

JudyEddy said...

Hi I don't think anyone else is here all went to eat I think I was watching news

JudyEddy said...

Just sitting in middle of nest looking toward 9

Lolly said...

Just sat down, and there is Truder! Hi, Truder!

Kay said...

Sorry, JudyE, my dear early bird bud, I can't join you in setting the alarm clock. I don't believe in alarm clocks now that I'm retired ! I'll just have to catch the nestcapades as I can.

Lynn, were you the one who posted the OK Eagle story---too lazy to look for it ! I was amazed when that little guy came back after a couple of days and I think I reported on it at the time. The last time I checked that camera was down due to a lightening strike and not expected to be back up this year. Sutton has had their setbacks with that Vian, OK nest and the one at Sooner Lake. They didn't realize until too late that the SL eagles were not going to use the man made nest at the edge of the lake. This is the nest my cousin got me started on, now she only watches Hummer nests. Can't seem to get her interested in watching anything outside OK. :(

Yep, black snakes are good ! I see one out behind my deck once in a while.

Seth just called to tell me a possum story. Over the weekend the family drained and readied their pool for repairs and painting. Meantime it's rained almost non-stop yesterday and today. When he and his dad got home from my place this evening they saw a possum in the bottom of the pool, alive, but not looking good. She apparently gave birth to several little ones after falling in and they are all dead. SIL put some planks down and says if she doesn't use them to climb out he'll have to go in for her and, of course, dispose of her babies. This pool is only 5 ft. in depth all over, but that's a bad drop for critters.

JudyEddy said...

Ok where is Belle she usually follows

Lolly said...

Hi Judy...I am here. Just came in, sat down with ice on my back. Groan! Why do I do it to myself?

JudyEddy said...

I am so jealous of you not setting alarm clock Maybe one day I can do the same after all I'll be 62 my next birthday I only owe under 20T on my house

JudyEddy said...

sitting at bottom of nest

hedgie said...

Gee, guess I better look in the candy aisle the next time I go to the store!!! Thanks, JudyE!

Very dark here, a few big rain drops so far.

Kay said...

While I was writing that novelette the cam timed out and I didn't see Truder arrive. Grrrr. Look at all those white downy feathers on his back. Molting right now, but no change in his black head feathers.

Lolly said...

Hi Kay! I posted the link about putting a tracker on one of the Vian eaglets. Two years ago Jack and I went to OK to see the nest on the lake. Saw many nests and many eagles. It was a great trip!

Lolly said...

Truder moving the crib rails.

JudyEddy said...

Hey little boy that is such a big stick

Kay said...

Ah, JudyE, you're just a kid ! I didn't retire until I was 70 and a half. Yes, I've gone back to the childhood habit of adding those halves in when stating my age ! ☺

JudyEddy said...

really windy no sound still

hedgie said...

Oh, Kay, poor possum. Poor babies:( Hope if your SIL needs to fish it out he can do it with the net! Bet that water is a bit cold yet.

Don't remember if I posted that OK link or not! DUH! Like JudyE---Halftimers!

Kay said...

Thanks, Lolly ! I at least remembered it was posted by someone with an "L" name ! I'd love to do an eagle nest touring trip some summer.

JudyEddy said...

belle

Kay said...

Belle and Truder don't seem overly happy with each other this evening ! Or is that beaking in the name of luuuuvvvv ?

JudyEddy said...

I'm getting a video of it also

JudyEddy said...

beeking or bickering looks like the later to me

Lolly said...

I retired early, 11 years ago this month. Retired at 56. Jack retired at 60 a few months after me. Told him he was not going to retire without me!

JudyEddy said...

odd I'm only getting half the comments emailed to me and they are a different time stamp than on the blog Issues last nite with double or more posting and now not getting emails HMMMM I have computers in a way

Kay said...

Lynn, I'm sure Hugh will use the pool net and he has good waders to put on his tootsies. He's a partner in a private Environmental company and spends a lot of time slogging through wetlands all over the State. He's up to the task and I'm sure he's not taking it quite as hard as dear Seth is.

Lolly said...

Ah, there is our beautiful
Belle!

JudyEddy said...

feed on camera must me acting up due to wind??? sound is back in and out now

JudyEddy said...

what are they looking at I wonder

JudyEddy said...

I love the way she cocks her head Hey I noticed the Decorah eagle almost has the same neck line as Belle I noticed it last nite

Kay said...

Lolly, so glad you and Jack were able to reitre early and take time to "smell the roses" and all those other beautiful flowers you have there at your gorgeous home ! Was Jack an educator, too ?

JudyEddy said...

POOF Truder

JudyEddy said...

KAY at least your not using months LOL like we did out kids 18 mth 22 i.e.

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

DanaMo said...

Sky is black in Hagerstown, winds picking up and rain coming down.AGAIN!

Kay said...

LOL, Judy, I'm not quite that far into my second childhood yet !!!

JudyEddy said...

hedgie I like the Halftimes also

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

I'm still recording I am making lots of short one bye truder

JudyEddy said...

back

JudyEddy said...

poof again

JudyEddy said...

ok Stronghunter has lost me in her statement about turning this off and perverts Who is she refereing

Kay said...

Something is sure distracting Truder. Wonder if he keeps chasing another bird away.

JudyEddy said...

and he is back again a yOYO

JudyEddy said...

big stick they are working on and bickering

PA Nana said...

I'm back briefly ... it's that time again - mealtime.

Mike is grilling seafood and I'm not a fan. I'll try some or go for a p-butter and jelly sandwich.

Belle is being very tolerant of Truder tonight. Still fixing the nest and cup. With the death of Paddy could Belle's hormones be off kilter? Paula? Steve? Glo?

In and out, in and out ... what's going on? Oops a disagreement.

My avatar is the Harrisburg falcon and chick. Only one this year. It's a new female.

bbl

JudyEddy said...

by the time we say poof hes back

JudyEddy said...

Hey you could be right I just thought he was being a YOYO and bringing in stuff

Kay said...

JudyE, read Judie's post at 5:29 and you'll see what Stronghunter is referring to.

JudyEddy said...

they both earlier were looking around at something

JudyEddy said...

some one is on cam box
and I do remember reading that my head is spinning again LOL

Kay said...

PA Nana, cute avatar ! Ah, PBn'J. Sure does come to the rescue time and time again.

Lolly said...

No, Kay. Jack is an aeronautical engineer. He is a Ramblin Wreck from GA Tech. LOL He worked for General Dynamics and then it became Lockheed Martin. He helped design airplanes...worked on flutter and has done some consulting. He also was appointed to work on a NATO sub committee.

JudyEddy said...

POOG BELLE

Lolly said...

Poof Belle!

Lolly said...

LOL Judy! Now you know why fluff became flugg.

Kay said...

Thanks, Lolly, you are definitely a dynamic duo !

Kay said...

Okay, taking the empty nest as a sign to get on with some other pursuits around here. 7 is about the time I leave the SSCC each morning ! Don't know if I'll be back tonight or not----so, if not, I'll be praying for all in need tonight as usual----with special thoughts for babies Leland and Jett !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥☺☺☺☺☺☺☺XXXXXXXXXOOOOOOO♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

hedgie said...

No storms yet, JudyE, but it is dark, raining a little and VERY windy. We are under watches and warnings for all kinds of bad possibilities....

I had to take a medical retirement at 56.....here I am almost 6 years later....and still alive!!! Yippee!

hedgie said...

JudyE.....Judie commented that the proctor during her classes' exams today said she'd never seen college students hug the professor (Judie) after an exam. Judie just commented they were perverts, LOL!!! She is a very loved professor!

hedgie said...

Good shot for your avatar, Diann. She's done a good job!!!

JudyEddy said...

Hedgie so you are 62 the age I'm going to be Huh I went back and re read I have quite a few video of tonight visit I do 3-6 min ones that way not to long and I pick out the best to post

hedgie said...

I'll take your share of grilled seafood---as long as we're talking shellfish, Diann!!!

JudyEddy said...

I took 10 mini videos I posted the one where they both were digging in the egg cup first and I'm downloading the one where he kept flying in and out of the nest I think 10 would be toooo many to do so I picked a couple BBL

Lolly said...

Judy, just read back on the blog. Loved the talking dog video you posted. roflmbo....I snorted!! Just too funny! Thanks!

Lolly said...

Oh, and as I read back on the blog I saw where Lynne was cheating on her diet and Linda was wishing she was cheating. Now, come on girls!! Really...if you want to look good and feel good you are going to have to really want it. NO Sneaking around and breaking the rules! SHAME!

Lolly said...

Oh, dear.....! I think I just got WAX and did not see it coming!

Lolly said...

I am off to prepare dinner.

Later...Gators!
