Heading for tv and recliner

hedgie said...

Having a terrible time this evening with foot and toe cramps....really painful. Just took muscle relaxants AND ibuprofen.....I may be the faceplant candidate tonight!

Watchinng Flashpoint.

stronghunter said...

I saw something the last time I was in the drug store that was supposed to help with cramps. I think it was Rite Aid.

stronghunter said...

Sounds like you are all doped up, already, though.

hedgie said...

Made it through today with only a few drops of rain. Sun was out for a number of hours, and it is still 69°! Looking UP!

Judie said...

Margy, thanks for the Lock Garten report. I looked this morning but EJ was covering the babe and two remaining eggs.

Paula, safe trip to the B____. Enjoy, please.

I know what I'm doing tomorrow and it AIN'T not having fun!

Hoda, glad you had a lovely day before the storm arrives.

Shirley, welcome to No.Va. rush hour traffic which typically begins just after noon. The picture of Susan is lovely and Hunter will enjoy the time he had at the game. Congratulations to Susan and to you for raising such a lovely and determined young woman.

Hi Dana. Enjoy the recliner and the t.v.

Lynn, sorry you are having some foot/toe cramps. Sure hope you'll be all better very quickly.

Okay, going to put my feet up for a few (as Jo says). BBL

Hoda said...

Hedgie, the OC post under the webcam must have gone up sometime today. I did not see it yesterday.I am glad tehy acknowledge they are aware of the problem and that they are working on fixing it.

hedgie said...

Phoebe's "Scout" fledged today!

hedgie said...

Here's video:

Scout fledges

stronghunter said...

The baccalaureate program is a religious ceremony. A convocation is an assembly. Our high school has a convocation to give awards at graduation time. But then, colleges give a baccalaureate degree. That is something different.

I always get to explain those words to my seniors. It is complicated for them because it is the first time most of them have encountered these terms.

Today's convocation was to give the diplomas to the individual students. There are too many students to do that at the commencement, so this program was more meaningful for Susan.

It was the one Susan really wanted us to attend. James (her boyfriend), Rus, Rebecca, Will, Hunter, and I were there. I am the only one planning to go tomorrow. It is not easy to get our whole crowd together.

stronghunter said...

I posted some videos on FB. I knew Susan and the others wanted to see them. I will try to put them on my blog for those of you who don't have FB.

Susan has already picked them up and put them on her FB wall.

Costume Lady said...

Lovely photo of Susan, Shirley. Is she done with her schooling, or is she going on to another degree?

hedgie said...

Shirley, I tried the stuff that WalMart had---Hyland's....it didn't really work. I used to take Quinolone (Quinine)....but FDA now forbids prescribing it for anything but malaria. Bummer. It worked well, without the side effects of muscle relaxers! BUT----my new dr. says he'll write me a script to get it from Canada! I've just gotta get online and search for pricing!

hedgie said...

Yep, Hoda.....sometine today cause it wasn't there when I turned on cam this morning!

stronghunter said...

The bachelor's degree confirmed by a college is the baccalaureate degree.

Hoda said...

Congratulations Stronghunter on the graduation.
AWESOME.

Thanks hedgie for hummingbird fledging video...the energy it took was TERRIFIC.

hedgie said...

Shirley, I guess most places don't do baccalaureate services anymore---no longer politically correct! But convocation used to have a religious connotation, too!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley that is a great video! I kept watching and sure enough saw
that very happy wave!

Mema Jo said...

I watched Flashpoint - I really like those guys and a gal!
Nothing else on for me but I do have 3 one hr shows to watch.

Well tomorrow is the Preakness
I wonder if Animal Kingdom will
win!

Lynne2 said...

Evening all!

Hey Lynn, ever seen the commercial for "Yoga Toes"? It's this soft contraption you put your toes into to separate and give them a gentle stretch. I don't have those, but I got something similar from Walmart and I love them! Might help with the toe cramps.

Shirley, so sorry the traffic was such a pain, but so glad for Susan and the BIG DAY!

stronghunter said...

Another degree for Susan? That was discussed today. Rebecca, Rus's fiancee,is working on getting into graduate school at GMU. She suggested that Susan join her.

Lynne2 said...

Just saw the pics on FB..you two look so beautiful!!

stronghunter said...

I think Susan is just enjoying the moment right now.

stronghunter said...

I put them there first so my children could see and copy them.

stronghunter said...

Ran into an administrator from my school today. She was there to see the daughter of a friend graduate. She has sponsored this girl for a long time.

NatureNut said...

Evening everyone in Eagleland!
Got home late, doing email, etc. Still gotta eat!
Wanda, love the picture of fox---that's a big baby. We saw 2 or 3 kits running at edge of field a couple times today & saw the Mom twice. Boy, is she big and orange!!Too far away for pics, & I'm not hiking yet!
My Dear Watsons, I have deduced the reason for my recent spills in the woods! Yes, I fell a few weeks ago on all fours getting pics of Pink Lady Slippers. Just remembered that a few months ago at Park Office, was getting up from chair & went right down on both knees. The cord from the keyboard was around my ankle!!! Since then, I've noticed at certain times, left knee acts like it wants to give way. No pain--just NO support. I believe both my falls are not from tripping on something but from knee collapsing!
Told Park boss I will sue Park & Planning. He laughed! End of story.

NatureNut said...

Gotta do some stuff, but want to send Congratulations again for Shirley's Susan. Sounds like a wonderful time!!!
Since my daughter graduated in a Dec., they had each college receive diplomas at different locations. She was in Life Sciences and event was held at the U of MD Chapel!! What was interesting is that one of the Profs. handing out diplomas was in same high school class with me! He was never a brilliant student, but got all 3 degrees at U. of MD in Agriculture. I think chickens were his expertise!! ☺
BBL

Lynne2 said...

oh Loretta, please get that checked out before something worse happens!

Heading back to my "chores".

stronghunter said...

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words for Susan. I am so proud of her. She has worked long and hard for this degree. It was truly hard work and determination that got her through.

Kay said...

SHIRLEY, Susan is lovely ! What a proud day !!!!

stronghunter said...

When I graduated from high school, baccalaureate was done at the school. Now, it is sometimes done in individual churches.

hedgie said...

Too bad you didn't have more time in No Va, Shirley.....you were so close to Judie's, you could have met up! Where did you all go for lunch?

Judie said...

Just visiting for my last evening catch-up.

Lowreeda, I do love your stories. However, I do not love the story about your knee. Please get it checked. Whatever it is might be easily fixable.

Was amazed as I watched the video of Scout's fledge. Wanted it to happen but didn't want it to happen. Stupid human emotions.

Oh be quiet! I'll be right there! Just five more minutes? Please? Please?

In case you haven't guessed, the sandperson has arrived and I am resisting with the energy of a five-year-old.

The night light has been set for those headed back the hallway, to the tub, up the stairs, to the recliner, or to bed, or for those who stumble in later from the West Coast. Restful sleep everyone.

Ill be gone tomorrow but will check in early evening. Oh, just in case the world comes to an end tomorrow, I'll be having a great time when it does. Goodnight.

stronghunter said...

Susan has accompanied me to open house for the past two years along with Kathryn and Hunter. It has been fun having them along.

stronghunter said...

Good night, Judie.

stronghunter said...

I must go up to bed now. I will see you tomorrow. God bless. Better charge up my camera battery.

Kay said...

LYNN, hope you get some relief for those aches, pains and cramps and soon ! I'm glad the Hyland's pills do work for me. A lot of trial and error goes into finding the right remedy for each individual.

For some reason I'm running low on energy and heading to bed now. Will say a litte prayer for all my dear eagle buds and their special needs. Hey, Early Birds, lets all sleep in tomorrow since we can't see Belle and Truder ! It just could be our last day to sleep late, huh ? ;O)

L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y !!!!

JudyEddy said...

Good night all looks like we all have the same idea Yep sleep in I'll get up at 6 my normal time.
God Bless this nest and all whom watch it Healing prayers for those in need

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."

hedgie said...

Oh-Oh---Bears

hedgie said...

I'm tired, too! Have lunch with friends tomorrow---errands to run----and then a stupid HOA meeting tomorrow evening....as usual, probably only 6 properties will be represented out of 43. Go figure!

magpie said...

Dang!
When one gets on computer late, one misses the opportunity to say Good Night in a proper way to many important people:
Shirley, Judie, Kay...JudyE, DanaWV, and maybe Lynn already and Loretta...
and I don't want to be rude and HOLLER ...so I will whisper goooood night Ladies

And Hello Night Owls !
xoxox

magpie said...

Wonderful Susan-reporting by Shirley ☺ ♥
Congratulations once again !

magpie said...

Wowser!
the tomato plant I put in the ground earlier this week, is taking off!
wish I had a whole bunch of ground to put stuff into

magpie said...

NCTC Steve is going to Fall Over when he sees how high our posts are!

And we are going to Faint when we finally get a New Thread...!!!

Mema Jo said...

Going to head back the hall - busy plans for tomorrow.

Good Night Everyone and my prayers are being said for all
Hugs to All ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

magpie said...

Lynn
hope you are getting rid of those leg cramps !

and Praying that all other ailments amongst us are just going to magically disappear

Hope Paula is safely ensconced at the Beach! Glad she has two special guys with her, Nugz, and little brother ♥ ☺

magpie said...

Hoda
Sounds like you had a good day...hope the storm clouds did not produce too much storminess..and happy celebratory week-end to you and your fellow country-persons

magpie said...

Got the Southern Delegation on my mind and in my heart and prayers...hope they can sneak in a little moving-update sometime or another

Love to you, Sharon, T-Bird, Sissy, Mattie, Justin, Tom and all assorted Southern Pals!

hedgie said...

LOL! Canada doesn't even require a prescription for quinine pills! Nor for the antibiotic I take when I get sick.....and the price is a lot lower than here. Since I have already reached the "donut hole", saving $$ helps. I did the mail-order pharmacy thing that my insurance company pushed me to do---90 day supply saves money....yeah, but it pushed me into that hole this month......so after I use the 90-day supply, I won't be able to get anymore for the rest of the year because the price of them all is exorbitant. To top it off, they have caused me to run out of one of my inhalerants...today is first day without it and I can tell. Sorry....I am just very angry with Humana and Right Source Rx today!

magpie said...

Andrea... yes, we share the Dinosaur Syndrome...
hope your computer is all zippy and peppy now

Know there are others out and about here and there tonight...but I guess it's about time to sign off for me also...

Good Night to All, Hope Sleep is Sweeeeet....

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

xoxo ♥
PS If I sleepwalk I am going to check on those overseas Osprey Scotland Nests for sure ! About time for Isla's Brood to start pecking out of their shells too soon I hope !

hedgie said...

I should add that the notion of a 90-day supply of meds being cheaper than 30 days at a time locally turned out to be a fallacy, at least in my case. They actually cost more. :(

hedgie said...

Hi there, Margy! You didn't miss me yet.
Sharon is having alternator trouble in her van. She'll be heading HOME on a wing and a prayer!

magpie said...

Well, that just ain't right, about the Van, was gonna say Damn Van but didn't want to cuss !

hedgie said...

Goodnight, Margy! Sleep tight.

magpie said...

Same to you there, Sweetness !

(( hugs ♥ ))

hedgie said...

News is almost over....heading for tub....and then need to try to finish up article for paper on AAWV open house. Need to get on PC for that. So will say goodnight and log off this puter.
Sleep well, one and all.
Prayers for all, and still special ones for those most in need. (((HUGS))) to Thelma!

hedgie said...

ROFL, Margy----you said it anyway!! Too funny! Night-night.

PA Nana said...

Hey Margy, a night owl here.

PA Nana said...

Trying really hard to catch up but it takes until most everyone heads to bed for me to accomplish a descent "catsup."

PA Nana said...

Hi and goodnight Lynn

PA Nana said...

Okay, too late again.

God bless all!

magpie said...

HI there Diann...were you able to see the banding of the lone Harrisburg Falcon Thursday ?
I'm trailing off but sure wanted to say HI !

magpie said...

Loch Garten is lightening up...weather seems pretty rough there...
and I cannot get Loch of the Lowe's to open at the moment...
so will check those again in the morning!
Bet Robyn and her Mom, and WV sUSAn are watching those closely !

magpie said...

OK, sigh...guess I missed you Diann...

Wanda, and any and all night-er owls...
Will catch your comments in the morning !
xoxo 'Night....xoxox ♥

Costume Lady said...

Heading to bed, little Jayden wears me out!

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS FOR ALL

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Margy...sleep tight:)

PA Nana said...

Sorry Margy, thought everyone left.

Missed the Harrisburg banding but waiting for the video. Been busy 'round here waiting for the sun to shine. I think of poor Megan every time it rains.

God bless!

PA Nana said...

Hi and goodnight Wanda!

Costume Lady said...

DIANN, look at my avatar. It is the yellow columbine that Lolly sent me and the purple ones that I sent you...did you get yellow seed, too?
Nite:)

paula eagleholic said...

Evening all...

Made good time got here around 10pm ...got everything unloaded and then sat outside for a bit enjoying the breeze and the stars...

Funny story...went thru Hardees drive thru for a burger...Nugz like to bark every time I go thru one...my brother said "maybe he's putting in his order," LOL Well they heard him inside and sent out a chicken tender for him!

NatureNut said...

Gotta hit the hay!!!
To All--Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

paula eagleholic said...

Dian...catsup...love it ! I did that on tthis page gotta work on the previious one

paula eagleholic said...

Night all see ya tomorrow!

(((Hugs for all)))

Lolly said...

Looks like I am getting on too late to say a proper good night, too!

Enjoyed reading all the comments. Margy you are just too funny! Sure did not want to hear you say damn! LOL

Loweeda...do get you knees checked soon. If it happens again, it could be much worse than bruising.

Lynn, sorry about the med problems as well as the cramping. Not good!

So, now Nugz is placing orders at the drive thru....too funny! He is truly going to be expecting something again next time. LOL

Put my nose in a book tonight and stayed with it. I was near the end and wanted to finish.

Heading to bed now. I will get my lazy day tomorrow since we worked all day today.

Nite all! Sweet dreams!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,

Dropping in to say goodnight. We got all our grossery shopping finished tonight. We went to Wendy's for dinner, and had a great new salad there, along with a baked potato. The salad had mixed greens, big chunks of chicken, strawberries, blueberries, sliced almonds, shaved parmesan, and raspberry balsamic dressing. YUM!!!!
Baked potato was good, too.

Shirley, please relay my congratulations to Susan for a job well done!

Loretta, hope you find out what causes your knee to give out on you! Not a funny situation! You sure don't want to injure it any more than you already have! Prayers!

I'm with Judie--if the world should end tomorrow, I, too, am determined to be enjoying myself! We're meeting my Sis-in-law for breakfast. If it's cool enough, will take Emma to the dog park.

Well, it's getting pretty late back East. Guess I'd better say prayers for everyone. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling the eye-scanner security and WV Dana's thumbprint-scanner security. Sleep well, everyone, and I will talk to you tomorrow. God bless, and goodnight!
Love all of you! :o]

Lolly said...

Uh, Oh!!! Just came back to see if you are still there? Are you? On the East coast it is already Saturday...almost here as well. Anything happened yet? Are you here?

Lolly said...

LOL Guess it has really happened. Have not heard from anyone!

Hoda said...

Magpie the storms yielded some rain and colder weather, maybe it will rain itself out overnight.

Hedgie I am now very concerned about the medication and pain and supplies...I send prayers to you for healing and freedom from discomfort.God Bless you Dear Lady.

Hoda said...

Sweet dreams everyone. It looks like you are all asleep. God Bless you all and I will talk with you in the morning...

Kay said...

Ha, so much for this early bird sleeping in--will go back to bed however !

Just wanted y'all to know we are still here. Grandson Seth tells me the POOFing hour is 6pm EDST. It's been fun knowing you ! ;o)

Good to hear PAULA, BRO and NUGZ arrived at the beach house, safely and well fed !

LYNN, that medical/Rx stuff is downright depressing. Hope you can figure out a way to get what you need for the rest of the year ! I haven't opted to go the mail order and/or 3 month supply route. There is something comforting to me in knowing the local pharmacists personally. I had to switch from Humana to Aetna a year ago when my primary doc stopped honoring Humana. My beef with Aetna is that their drug formulary is way too limited. I pay premium co-pay for everything I take, except for B/P and cholesterol meds. :(

SHIRLEY, another proud and wonderful day in store for you ! Enjoy !

LOLLY, enjoy your lolling around day ! You've earned it !

MARGY, glad you were a good girl and didn't give in to the urge to cuss. ☺

LORI, hoping to hear you're home safe, sound and well fed, too ! {{{{{LORI}}}}}}

Okay, so back to bed I go, zzzzzz.

HAGD everyone !!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

floralgirl said...

Today's nest weather- Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. Northwest winds around 5 mph.

That's right, sun...
Have a great day everybody!

JudyEddy said...

Looks like everyone has sleep in I hope everyone has a great day Coffee doesn't taste as good this am BBL

DanaMo said...

WOW what is that bright yellow thing lighting up our sky?

Costume Lady said...

That Bright Yellow thing may be the beginnig of the RAPTURE...ya think? I'm in rapture just looking at it;)

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.

hedgie said...

Good morning, Momsters and Dadsters. If you want to see June's bluster with Lily, Hope and Faith, here's the video Sue got:

June

magpie said...

Yep.
I slept in.
Should have gotten up to watch the very rare SUNRISE ☼
Especially glad for Megan, with this forecast

Good Morning Eagle Pals !!

Wonder what Belle and the "other eagle" have been up to these days...

xo

magpie said...

EJ is sitting on her brood, (Loch Garten)
cheeping out for some OJ company, and she is not giving up any peeks at the baby, or if there are any other hatches yet.
I can't get Loch of the Lowe's to open :(

magpie said...

I saw where DanaWV was cruising around a lot of nest sites yesterday...
Dana, hope you are checking on the Goshawk nest...three white friskly little babies there, seem to be doing well!

Thanks for the link, Hedgie, will check it in a few minutes...

magpie said...

Here is a pile of Kestrel chicks:


American Kestrel Cam, Nebraska

magpie said...

It has taken me forever to see these hatchlets !
Four, maybe five ?

magpie said...

Hilton Head SC has two thriving Osprey chicks, the third one was lost on May 13...
:(

Costume Lady said...

2500 posts coming up!

Costume Lady said...

Hey, Margy...I think the sun is going to stay here for awhile! Going up to 82°:)

magpie said...

Yah Wanda, great weather day ahead of us !
EJ just flew off briefly at Loch Garten
think I saw TWO babies..one unhatched egg
but she did not give up much of a view - parent back on nest already

Five kestrel chicks getting fed now

hedgie said...

LOL, Paula---Nugz knows how to win the clerks over! Know that McDonald's does bones, and so does my bank! Nice gestures!

Hoda---not to worry about me! Just some days are worse than others! No rhyme or reason to it....and they just don't know what causes the cramps. All labs are fine....I suspect varicose veins are a big part of it....but have had them "done" 3 times, so no more treatments for me!

I like to hear the Lolly is gonna loll! Good one!

hedgie said...

Andy, that new salad sounds yummy---if it didn't have the nuts! Assume that they are probably pre-prepared....like Mickey's are--theirs are worse: they have WALNUTS---double yuck!

hedgie said...

ROFL---talking about dog treats....Beggin' Strips ad just scared the daylights out of Liesl!!!

hedgie said...

Some of Shar's Bedford friends have fixed her alternator!! So no worries now.....whew!! Know those girls will be so glad to get home!

magpie said...

Great news Hedgie about Shar's van...I won't cuss anymore !

Neat June video clip...wow, I would like to see the set up for the videographer! Big cage maybe ?

Yeah, that was way neat about Hardee's sending out a nugget for Nugz, a Nugzet ☺

magpie said...

Chrissy cannot get Loch of the Lowe's on her side of the pond,
and I can't either on this side of the pond! Lousy time for some sort of server problem :(

magpie said...

time to play 52-pick up here...I
think Kay really got back to some serious snoozing ?
Best Wishes to Everyone in all our Eagle Corners, for a Good Day
ttfn
xoxo ☺ ♥

hedgie said...

Time for me to get ready to head out. Things to do, places to go, people to see. Lunch with some pals, pick up my trail cam from Wanda and Gene's, gas---yuck! $$$$'s. Get the SB stuff for the cam......busy, busy.
Hope you a ll have a good day. Weather sounds promising!!!

magpie said...

OH while I am thinking about it
ISS-Endeavor will make a neat flyover early morning hours of both May 27 and May 28 -
hereabouts...will post all that again when time approaches

xoxo ♥
off for the day's plans...Whoo Hoo Vacation day for me today !
Might be time to slog through the mud and check the R-S Hawk's nest sometime soon

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Beautiful warm day ahead. Lynn you know what comes to mind with the SB initials - I'm
sure you were talking more techie
stuff!

Hope Sharon & Thelma are on the
move!

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning all! So nice to have my early morning walk with the dogs in the SUN!!

Thinking we may be getting a new thread in the near future, appears to be active on FB this morning. Won't he be surprised!

Mema Jo said...

Just watched the video about June
I can't imagine Sue video-taping
I sure hope that was a powerful Zoom! Too close for me.

Enjoy this special day, Shirley!

I am out of here for now -- be back
later today.

Enjoy the SUN

paula eagleholic said...

Morning all!

Just a gorgeous day...we certainly deserve it!

Osprey here still incubating...also saw blue herons egret and oyster catchers

My younger brother is coming down sometime today

I have lost track of how many times Nugz has been swimming today :)

Catch ya later!

Lolly said...

Good morning! Yea, for Nugz! He is a lovin' the beach house!!! Whoops, excuse me, the b___h house!

Well, I see everyone is still here. Was thinking I had been left behind! Then I read it is this evening. Maybe we should all be on the blog at the same time?

Hope the rapture does not mess up the Preakness!

Beautiful day here. House is open, though I think we will have to close up and turn the AC on this afternoon. Storms return tomorrow. We got a whooping .3 inch of rain, but hey, every little bit helps.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh yeah forgot to mention an osprey did a poop shoot in my yard while flying over :)

Kay said...

Lynn, enjoyed watching June strut n' stomp ! She's a tree hugger ! Wonder what that action sybolizes. Sue is one brave gal.

Kay said...

Lynn, are you allergic to nuts ? Hope not cause I have been certified as one myself. ☺

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning I'm still here. Was there a certain time for the rapture??? That is the rapture "Man" has decided on???

Love Nugz placing his order and his swims at the beach. Makes my heart just leap inside with joy. Him having such a good time. See Paula's brother is coming.

Great video on Lilly and June...Did Lilly also go up that tree?

I see a Boy Scout yesterday an ask him, "Do you all in your troop do the proper treatment of a flag that is ragged?" "Yes he told me". I had one in the car that was on Dad's grave and I had replaced it. So I gave it to him and ask it be taken care of at the next time and I thanked him. He smiled...

Kay said...

Margy, you nailed it ! I didn't get up til' 9. The kind of deep sleep I'd like to get every night or morning I should say. Felt a bit sluggish for doing it, but soon hit my stride and am feelin' good !

wvgal_dana said...

Loretta Watch cause I found out after falling on both knees. The one knee which I couldn't tell but the dr. could was causing me to walk different. Which put more problems on the knee that wasn't giving away. You might need to see a good orthopedic dr.

And I'm not going anywhere with this crap about the medications and insurance.grrrrrrr

Kay said...

WVgal Dana, the "rapture man" has apparently said it will begin at 6pm EDST. Yes, Lily went up the tree, too. Good thinking on the flag, glad you ran across that troop leader !

Paula, it is, as always delightful to read about your Utopia and the fun Nugz is having there ! How blessed you are to have a couple of super duper brothers !

Lynne2 said...

UGH! Bogged down with chores. YUK.

Rapture was to begin in New Zealand, at 6pm their time first, and continue along westward with it hitting along each time zone at their own 6pm local time. Well, there have been no reports of the earthquake that are supposed to go along with it and its SUNDAY 3;30am there! I think we are in the clear.....LOL!

Lynne2 said...

Pauls, so glad Nugz is feeling so good that he is swimming!

Kay said...

Lynne2, thanks loads, I think we can all breathe easier now ! LOL !
How ludicrous was it to think of the Rapture starting in NZ at 6pm and advancing around the world by time zones. I may have missed something in Bible study, but I don't recall a passage about God's creation of time zones as we know them ! LOL again !

Lolly said...

Have been cam surfing this morning. Have not done that for a while.

Paula, sounds like your property has been properly blessed. LOL A osprey poop shoot!

Have added another friend on fb, another former student. Wow! I think it is pretty good when they remember their kindergarten teacher. I accept their friend request, but deleted one after I did not like what I was reading. Life is too short for that!

I am off now to eat a bite of breakfast and then walk. Usually take the weekend off but Jack (bless him!) wants to walk.

Lolly said...

Sorry about your chores, Lynne! That is what is nice about retirement, chores do not have to be crammed into a weekend.

Laurel is excited...only 8 more days of school!

Kay said...

Lolly, good for Jack ! It's a beautiful sunny and warm day here---perfect for one of my outdoor walks. Yeah ! Wonder what people would think if I took the stretchy thing, using it as I strut my stuff ?

Lynne2 said...

Kay, I don't think anyone would give it a second thought if you were struttin' 'round town with your stretchy band!

Not doing "regular" chores Lolly...more like getting things in order. Our lease is up Aug 31 and right now we just are not sure if we can stay here....

Paula really does have her own piece of heaven down on the shore!

Lynne2 said...

OK, I'm updating here.....

HAPPY ARMED FORCES DAY and God Bless our TROOPS!!

wvgal_dana said...

I'll 2nd that Lynne2

Happy Armed Forces Day and God Bless our Troops and Their Families!!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Remember Sunday 8pm Tom Selleck plays in a movie as Jesse Stone. Seen the one before this one he played as Jesse Stone. Looks to be GOOD!!!

"Innocents Lost" 7th movie in the Jesse Stone film series.

Love how "white" those Goshawk chicks are

nice and close up the white chicks

wvgal_dana said...

THAT ONE ABOVE THIS WORKS

Lynne2 said...

well, the Goodyear Blimp just flew over the house REALLY low. I was in the bathroom when Steve yelled from the yard. Ran out the door. Forgot camera. Blimp moving away. Ran back in and got camera. Point, shoot, red blinking light. Batteries dead. Blimp moving further away. Ran back in, changed batteries, ran back out, point, shoot, nothing. Checked batteries, in backwards. Blimp pretty far now. Fixed batteries, point, shoot, the camera wants me to set day and time. Really? The blimp was far away. Camera is in secret burial ground somewhere in Minnesota......

wvgal_dana said...

Lynne2 you really was working fast. I can just imagine you doing that. Sorry you wasn't able to get the picture after all of that.

Lolly said...

Lynne....roflmbo!!!!! Traveling yesterday in the middle of nowhere, amidst mesquite and cactus, I saw a washer or a dryer sitting upright. Wondered if we were mistaken, that the land of mysterious burials is not in central Texas.

Hoda said...

Good to hear Nugz is enjoying swimming Paula....GREAT. An Osprey Poop Shoot in your yard, I am glad you did not report that it hit any particular target!!! LOL !!!

Its a Beautiful horse Animal Kingdom...some spectacular photos on the internet and I hope he does well in the races...

Hedgie, thank you for your comments in regards health situation and I hope some real pain free time starts to happen for you...the past month I had lower back pain and it is only now healing and it taught me a lot about taking things for granted and the humility as a lesson of pain was evident to me as I did my yoga poses, where I could touch my toes I no longer was able to do so and now with healing it is beginning to return...saw a chiropractor and did some work shops on Spine Awareness...so I do know about pain and wish that we all be free from it.

It is a cloudy day here and I will do some cleaning and take out my summer clothes today and it is time to plant some in my container garden so I look forward to this full long weekend for me...Happy Victoria Day every one...for me for the next few months we are free of the threat of frost...what a delight this is...

I think of Belle and Truder and wonder what they are doing and then smile as they are doing what they normally do totally unaware that they are not being watched...

Hoda said...

Lynne2 THANK YOU for the hilarious account of the photo shoot and the blimp experience...RIP camera somewhere in Minnesota!!!;^)!!!

The Norfolk eaglets and other wildlife very much need our support. Wildlife Center of Virginia has fallen to 3rd place in the Chase Community Giving Campaign. Please also cast a vote for Norfolk Botanical Gardens and help spread the word.

Hi everyone. Not caught up yet but enjoy having the windows open and brightness.

Wanda, I guess the yellow columbines didn't make it through the winter. I'd sure like to have another go at that one and the purple one. Please and TY.

My new avatar is a dark peony I have. Don't know the name of it, got it from my mom, who got it from grandma......

Back to "catsup."

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Take me home, country roads...

Lynne2 said...

Oh Lolly, I hope you took a picture of the washer or dryer!!

On my way home from Walmart a short while ago, the BLIMP, as if to taunt me, over the road in the distance. Can't imagine what it's floating around in these parts for.

Lolly said...

Diann, guess I have your mailing address on the Christmas list. I may still have yellow columbine seeds. They are about done for the year. I have been cutting off the stalks, but I will check and IF I still have some would love to mail them to you.

No, Lynne, no photo of the washer. I saw it as we were sailing along the road, but I laughed when I saw it!!

Lolly said...

Lynne, are you anywhere near the Preakness. It is today. Could the blimp be headed to it?

floralgirl said...

Wow- loooong thread...
What a beautiful day!
And yes, the Goodyear blimp would've been flying to the Preakness, they always have it there.
Lunch break over, back to work...

Lynne2 said...

yes Lolly, as the BLIMP flies, we are about 10 miles from the track. Hadn't thought about it be Preakness day.

PA Nana said...

Thanks Lolly. I'd appreciate them.

Max & Teresa are visiting this weekend and he's grown quite a bit since we last saw him. Right now he is soooo tired he's miserable.
Ready to send him back.

Teresa and Jim are doing chicken on the grill so I have a few moments to blog. Have to relieve Teresa of Max so she can work.

I found this on Eagle Addict facebook page I know I didn't see it before Its a picture slide show for NBG female A tribute to an American Bald Eagle killed in Norfolk, VA.

JudyEddy said...

I don't think I explained my AVATAR It was taken inside a Publix Groossery store in St Petersburg I thought it was neat It is on a soda display

hedgie said...

GOod evening, eagle pals! In between gigs......long day but had a great afternoon. Got my trail cam and grrrr...the SD card won't go in the slot.....sent Wanda an email for Gene.
HOA meeting at 7....will have to leave again at 6:45. I think Liesl is going to be m-a-d at me!

Sorry you couldn't get a pic of the blimp, Lynne. Hmmmmm....hope Judie sees that there may be another secret graveyard---in TX!!!

Yep, Preakness now......also Andrews Air Force Base Open House and Air Show is this weekend! They usually show up there, too. They were here for an air show one year when we had the deli, and the Air Guard people told them to come out to us for a meal......they actually landed the blimp in a huge field across from our little shopping center and trotted across the highway to it. Pretty cool!

hedgie said...

Lovely day! House so warm when I got home, had to turn on AC....feels nice now.

hedgie said...

Okay, got SD card in with Gene's instructions!! Now to figure out how to get it out when the time comes!

JudyEddy said...

Good luck I can't wait to see what you capture

Lolly said...

LOL Good luck Lynn!

About time for the Preakness! I am rooting for Animal Kingdom. Let's go for a Triple Crown!!!!

Had another storm here and once again....it went north. Grrrrr! Also, a tornado south of us. We have sun shine!

JudyEddy said...

stronghunter said...

Good evening. Came home after a busy day with Susan. The commencement was nice. Not even as crowded as the convocation.

A lot of people did not show up since they had already had the convocation. But Susan wanted to enjoy all of the glory she could. She has worked long and hard for this degree.

Spent a long time at the Dogue Wildlife Rescue center with Susan this afternoon.

Lynne2 said...

Glad it was a good day Shirley! Susan deserves to bask in the glory!


GUESS WHAT??????????? It came back!
Pics on my blog!

hedgie said...

Home again, jiggity jig!
Now to catch up again.....and read newspapers!

stronghunter said...

Enjoyed your blimp picture, Lynne. Left a comment. Took me a moment to figure out what you were talking about when you said it came back, then I remembered. The blimp! The blimp!

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, did you remember to push the POWER button on the cam? If so, it is dark enough now for the flash to go off if something should walk in front of it. Might even see Myrtle the Turtle:)

hedgie said...

Sure didn't miss much here!! Everuyone has been absent...

Yea, Lynne----love blimps!

Shirley, glad you had a nice day!

PA Nana said...

Yeah Lynne! It came back just for you to take its picture.

Max has eaten, bathed and now in bed and Teresa is reading to him.
Hope he gets a good nights' sleep.
He was a mess at supper. Sure glad God only gives the young babies. Thank you Lord!

stronghunter said...

The question is this: Will Myrtle walk fast enough to trigger the cam??

Mema Jo said...

Just came home from dinner out
after Mass and some shopping. Boscov really cut prices in order to survive I'm sure.

Hubby has 9-11 show
The Waking Dead - cold cases

Shirley - I just hope you are exhausted from all the hoopla for
Suzie today! Memories! Love her pic. Congratulations again, Mother.

Mema Jo said...

Was great to see Maukie!
I gave him a good scratching.

BBL

JudyEddy said...

LYNN2 Cool Picture of the Blimp I'm getting caught up on some shows GA and PP wow
Watching Criminal Minds right now but one from three weeks ago I'm so far behind on my shows but thats what nice about the DVR BBL

stronghunter said...

It was very nice again today. Just Suzi and me this time. We grabbed a sandwich on campus and went to the wildlife center where she volunteers. It is hard to believe there is such a place right in Fairfax County.

A very isolated spot down a narrow dirt road. It is frequented by raccoons, deer, and, at one time, bears. Three creeks run through the property.

stronghunter said...

No traffic problems today, thank goodness.

Judie, the problems yesterday were actually south of what we consider the No. Va. area. We encountered most of them in Prince William and Stafford Counties. Northern(ish) Va.

stronghunter said...

They recognized Armed Forces Day today at the commencement. Played the songs of each of the branches and had all members and former members stand to be honored.

stronghunter said...

And we were happy to see that they put Susan's name in the commencement program. She was left out of the program yesterday.

We thought maybe it was because of the snafu over her credits which took place and was entirely the fault of the university.

NatureNut said...

Goiod Evening to Everyone! Downloaded some osprey pics (of cam) Will have to work on them tomorrow.
Looks like another great day for Shirley & Susan!!
Too bad our favorite horse came in 2nd. Hard to believe he got that close!
Well, the All Star car race is about to start & I will probably konk out if that's possible!!!

Lynne2 said...

Hope something comes by for their closeup tonight Lynn!

Dirigibles was on of the first "big" words I learned as a little girl, from my Grandfather!
