Lori O. said...

JUDY, it's MEGAN who takes care of VINCENT. Last I heard she had not seen him in 5 - 6 days.
I have the Vulture family - 2 chicks and not sure if there is one or two parents. Should be two.

JudyEddy said...

I thought you had a vulture family just got the cornfused

magpie said...

Good Morning Eagle Pals
Lori
JudyE...anyone else?
It's the wind, Judy
no thunder now, spectacular WV morning - wish you could be here
clear and cool
I'm near-hypnotized by the waving sycamore leaves
I actually signed on around 5:15
Good Nest-Action Reports, gals, thanks
Truder looks much better
today

Lori O. said...

No problem, Judy. I could talk about them all day. It's really exciting to have big chicks so close!

JudyEddy said...

Its like they are your babies AND good morning MAGPIE You were LM huh

magpie said...

Too funny!
Andrea's sister-in-law used the term Eye Candy
about the sights in Thailand
Speaking of which, Eye-Candy -
JudyE
I SEE you SAW Nu...
uh, yeah, hma hma ☺
Thanks to Loretta and Shirley for getting the pics on here, and to Wanda for taking those pictures !!!

JudyEddy said...

I think he needs to be called and we need to make sure we are all there and I can get a good video of him while he trims our branch Oh and make sure he dresses appropriately like a nice muscle shirt

magpie said...

Judy-
interesting about those parrrots at your workplace!
What kind do you think they are?
I'd want to check my bird-books to check them out
Also I will check your blog for Jordyn videos
but computer is very slow when live feed is on, so.....a little later on that for me
Is there any coffee left? How about the danish ? ☺

JudyEddy said...

Is NU is real name???

JudyEddy said...

Someone said that they were pets at one time and just multiplied but they are there at certain times of the day been years that they have been there to

magpie said...

funny thing, Judy
I'm 5' tall, and I hear Nu is not much taller than that !
In that picture it looks like the shirt he is "sort of" wearing, is colored like the American Flag

Lori -
lots of people at market stroll through with their dogs (on leash of course)
first one I saw: a beautiful chestnut brown Bulldog!

magpie said...

Yes, that's his name
first name
ok on the parrots, thanks.

magpie said...

Speaking of the American Flag
Tuesday, June 14:

Flag Day, 14 June,
marks the anniversary of the adoption by Congress in 1777 of the Stars and Stripes as emblem of the nation. Celebrations of the flag began in local communities throughout the country during the nineteenth century, largely for the purpose of educating children in history. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson, and later, in 1927, President Calvin Coolidge, suggested that 14 June be observed as Flag Day. It was not until 3 August 1949 (thanks to President Harry S Truman)
that the National Flag Day Bill became law, giving official recognition to 14 June to celebrate the flag.

magpie said...

Bet Google will have some nice graphics on Tuesday

Original Flag
13 stripes
Seven Red, Six White
(13 - for the original 13 colonies)

13 white stars on a field of blue

Colors,
Red symbolizes Hardiness and Valor
White, Purity and Innocence
Blue, Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice

JudyEddy said...

Shhh don't tell anyone but no 503 today YET I should add

magpie said...

I see the Blackwater cams are back up after being down for awhile Sunday
interesting link on BWE on the four-eaglet nest on the James River in Virginia
(first even-known 4 chick nest in Virginia)
and interesting Osprey news on the
Osprey Web Cam Log about the 3 little ones there

JudyEddy said...

Ok now I can pour my next cup of coffee I refuse to make another pot so I pace myself drinking it Getting up at 5 I tend to drink more that when I get up at 6

magpie said...

neat church news from Lolly about a possible daycare center developing at her church
and from Wanda about the Bible School at hers
♥ ☺

JudyEddy said...

Is there a cam on the James River in Virginia
)

Lori O. said...

Sorry MARGY & JUDY. Don't mean to disappear. My schedule of duties has been rearranged this morning so some things have to be done earlier than before. :(

JudyEddy said...

silly question The green in the nest that is not part of the tree growth is it a vine?? leaves are to small to be part of the tree I think?

magpie said...

Judy
not sure about a web cam
still clicking through the site, have not found it yet
still photographs are posted
someone else on here can probably answer that

Understood, Lori, no apology necessary when you are at work !

magpie said...

not silly Judy
don't think there is much vine growth ON the tree
probably something that was brought to the nest by eagles or other birds doing their droppings, OR, from branches that the Eagles brought in through the Spring...
or leftover from last year
but I don't know what they are
again, someone else on here will know more about that !

JudyEddy said...

HAGD BBL OTWIG

magpie said...

Judie
waiting on daylight at the Kestrel cam, saw your post about them being at the nest box opening...

Also:
Have found wild Swamp Milkweed nearby here before, waiting on it again...a beautful rosy-pink color

magpie said...

Paula
have you and Nugz on my mind this morning
Nugz is still part of the 24/7 Medical Prayer Plan here...
hoping that today will be a better day for him
(( hugs ♥♥ )) for you both xoxox

magpie said...

Jo
wonderful report of your day yesterday, with the Dance Recital and the Neighborhood Gathering

Lynn:
had to laugh, about Liesl's "backwards" event Sunday.
When I read about her doing her business and then she came to you barking in barking, you posted "Backwards"
I had this vision of Liesl coming to the room backwards and barking
gave me a good LOL ☺

magpie said...

said I would try not to run posts up but I just did :(

going to disappear for a little bit

At Berkeley Springs park yesterday, near the pool, heard first and then saw the most beautiful male Baltimore Oriole, in the most beautiful Sycamore tree, then saw him perched....on his nest !! Got pictures of that nest, but will download and post later on, I always wanted to see one, and finally did ☺


Best wishes for a Good Day, Everyone...
this should be a very good cool gardening day for Megan !

ttfn xoxo ♥

magpie said...

see four kestrels in the nest box...maybe the 5th one has flown the coop
MTBR

Lori O. said...

Almost 90 minutes with no posts so I'm interrupting your quiet time to say, "WHERE ARE YOU?" I know Representative Anthony Weiner is in Rehab, but I don't know where all the eagle lovers have gone. I ask you, what kind of REHAB? Cyber Cheating Crackberry Photographers? What would the name of that place be? There's no Betty Ford Center for that.

I'm sure SHIRLEY has had her plate of pancakes, eggs and bacon at her RETIREMENT BREAKFAST at IHOP by now. I should have told you to have a grain pancake for me, Shirley. They are great.

KAY, DANA MO and MEGAN the Early Birds missed you this morning.

Hope you're enjoying Malcolm and the dog park outings KAY.
TOO bad DANA and her Flying Labs don't live closer.

Have a good day everyone! BBL.

Kay said...

Yikes, y'all, children and fiesty young dogs are definitely for young people. There is no way I'll ever catch up with what I missed yesterday, so will glean what I can from your posts. Trust you will let me know via Yahoo Momsters or e-mail if something I must know happens ! I was up early, 4:30ish, so, of course, the dog was, too. After a quick outing I thought he'd settle back down, but no, he wanted to play. Couldn't take a chance of having him wake neighbors up with any barking and so went back to the daybed in Seth's room to cuddle and watch the news. Next thing I know it's 8 and he hasn't been taken out for a constitutional or eaten or anything usually accomplished by time. Got him out just in time, too ! Now he's back to play mode---just gave him a Bully Stick to occupy him for a few minutes so I can assure you all is well here.

LOL, LORI, the Wiener rehab idea ! Good question, too, where is he going for this therapy ? Everyone keeps saying how brilliant he is, hmmm, not my definition of the word ! Sad, sad, sad.

JUDYE, I knew NU in the woods would impress !

MARGY, "they" say good things come in small packages. Oh, yeh !!!!!!

Guess I won't get back to my routine with the Early Birds or blog in general until Malcolm and I come to an understanding----so probably not til' he goes home Saturday evening !☺

Love you all, miss you all and wish you an an Apple Dumpling Dandy Day !

stronghunter said...

Good morning!!

Yes, I have had my breakfast at IHOP, and there are enough leftovers for probably two more breakfasts. I had their garden crepes and some sausages. Maybe it is just as well to make several meals of it. I just looked at the calories, etc., and it is up there. But that is okay.

Tying together loose ends. Just requested permission to keep my laptop for the week so that I can report my dual enrollment grades later on.

So, I am back at my desk today. It will take awhile to wind this thing up.

wvgal_dana said...

Going ahead and saying Good Morning to my Eagle friends. Before I finish catching up on comments.

I did see eagles report ty Lori and others.

Read the beauiful comment about our American Flag that Margy put in comments. Thank you ( :

Need to go get caught up.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
I thought I'd put my 2¢ worth in on the EARLY BIRDS discussion of the excess of greenery around the nest. Well, might not matter now, they have CLOSED THE CYBER CAFE and disappeared into Cyber Space:)
I do believe there is a vineing VIRGINIA CREEPER around the nest and, of course, a small branch of sycamore leaves at bottom right.
MEGAN may have a look and see what she thinks.
The photo of NU appears that he is working with his jacket or shirt half off, is deceiving...he was in the process of taking it off because it had gotten so hot;) Whew!

SHIRLEY, what a way to end your SCHOOL DAYS...breakfast at IHOP! Love their steak omlette. Ohhh yes!
As the weeks go by, wish you would tell us of your feelings of being retired. I guess it will differ from day to day. ENJOY!♥

Lolly said...

Good morning! Thought for sure there would be a new thread, but nope!

Just saw this....
Jo and cub

I love to watch the bear videos as their camera is so excellent, just beautiful pictures.

Going to read the blog now!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING, DANA:) Thank you so much for trying to get me a Cardinal Vine...that was so sweet of you!♥ I never see one in any of the stores or nurseries. I will look for seeds on line or ask Megan to save me one next Spring.

Costume Lady said...

LOLLY, I so love my Golden Columbine! It bloomed so beautifully, then went to seed, and now, it is blooming AGAIN!
Seeds of the pretty blue-purple columbine are just about ready to harvest. I will leave them in the pods and mail them to you as soon as they dry...so, be looking for them in a week or so:)

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda Megan may still have some cardinal vine. She just didn't have them at Market yesterday. So get ahold of her to find out. Wanda I would love to have some of the seeds from the yellow columbine. If you would give me some. I would certainly apprecite it.

Lolly said...

Wahooo! Wanda, I am so excited about getting more seeds from you. Fantastic! I have three envelopes of seeds ready to be mailed out to those that requested them. Did not get a whole lot as many of the seeds had already fallen. Harvested what I could. I told the three getting the seeds to check with you on what you did for success in that area. I know that the seeds I got from you that were successful were the ones I put in pots. I scattered some but they did not come up.

As for rehab for Weiner...I, too, did not know there was rehab for STUPID!

Lolly said...

I think we should have a virtual party for Shirley this evening. I will "vake" and decorate a cake. What can the rest of you bring? ♪♪ Come on...let's celebrate!♪♪

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Thanks for the eagle report this morning!

Lolly, I'll bring the margaritas! ☺

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Hedgie-Lynn for posting that comment "Da Bears".

Lolly I love the video you posted on this thread "Jo and cub". Watched it three times lol

JudyE I got what bbl means but don't know what HAGD BBL OTWIG the
HAGD or OTWIG means?? I guess I am computer illiterate for the abbreviations.

Lolly said...

Wahoooo! Margaritas!!! This is going to be a great party!

Whoops! Time for me to go walk!

wvgal_dana said...

Diann just catching your comment posted at 10:44pm last night. Yes Terry Fator. I seen when he won on there. I would loved to have known he was on tv. I would have tapped it because I fell asleep in front of tv woke 4am. He is so great with his puppets. You are right when you said :sounded just like the original".

I do want to apologize on one of my comments back there somewhere I called you Diana. A CR moment of mind.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Paula and Nugz. Did you get held up in traffic on the Bay Bridge coming home?

wvgal_dana said...

Paula I think you are right. When you said Margy name your beach place. It sounds so good and has that perfect ring to it:
sign saying;
WELCOME TO PAULA'S PARADISE

wow does sound good gal. Sorry Nugz wasn't feeling well yesterday. Hope today he is feeling better. Please give him a scratch behind the ear. ty

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning everyone!



Momster/Dadsters' June 14
2007 Anniversary of our very special Flag Day

Mema Jo said...

Dana
HAGD = Have a good (great) day

OTWIG = On to work I go!

magpie said...

I'll cook up some Beef Tongue for Shirley's Party ☺
Probably a small one will suffice.
What a breakfast Shirley had!
Best wishes Shirley for getting all the loose ends and final details taken care of...
Just let us know when you are REALLY, FINALLY FREE

Wanda, I thought someone here would know more about the greenery, that someone is YOU

Good Morning again, Eagle Pals...

magpie said...

I thought there were only four kestrels in the box earlier, now it looks like five, either instead, or again

Need to plant my Megan flowers into the ground from yesterday and get to the store sometime

Sure hope Steve made it through the awful storms out his way Sunday

Best wishes again, for a Good, Safe, Healthy and Happy Day

Hope all our Momsters and Dadsters are doing okay in all our Eagle Corners
ttfn xoxo ♥

hedgie said...

Good cool morning from the 'ville.
Glad you all got to see nest activity.
From what was originally posted when the 4-eaglet nest on the James River was observed, it is the third time there has been one in VA. Don't recall if that was 4 eggs or 4 hatches, for sure, but I thought they said eaglets. Have they "revised" their statement?
No, JudyE....no cam there. Photo taken from a helicopter/plane doing a nest survery.

hedgie said...

Hope that 503 has gone to sleep---for good! Yesterday was a true PIA.

Wanda, glad you had a good time at Bible School. Gotta say, tho', that I think Bible Schools around here are held way too early. Kids have just gotten out of school.....it should be more towards the middle of their time off, as it was when I was growing up. JMHO.

magpie said...

Oh
I went into my blogs and checked comments that needed to be "moderated and published."
It's part of a setting that I checked for any comments posted about a month after the pictures go up...so I can keep track of the nice things people are saying after this time has passed.

Found quite a few; they used to go to my email, but realize that after July 1 last year, with the change from Verizon to Frontier, I had never updated the emai address on there.
I appreciate everyone's kind remarks about what I post.
Thank You !

hedgie said...

Margy, still w/ scheduling confusion at work. Carolyn worked 2-MN yesterday and did not know until this morning whether they needed her at 10 or noon.....turns out to be noon, but doesn't know if til 10pm or MN! Geesh! People who call in repeatedly have no respect for the inconvenience they cause other people!

magpie said...

Lynn
well, I haven't been following an awful lot of things too closely, ( I CAN'T KEEP UP! )but this is what I read off the link posted on the BWE site:
(from May 18, 2011):

"One month ago today on April 18, 2011 Dr Bryan Watts and Dr Mitchell Byrd discovered the first ever documented 4-chick bald eagle nest in Virginia during their annual survey of bald eagle nests and relavent productivity. The nest is located in Hopewell on Bailey’s Creek off the James River. The two of them flew over the nest again today May 18, 2011 and Dr Watts took this photographic image of the 4 eaglets on the nest while flying above the nest at about 300 feet at 100 mph!! Dr Watts states “The brood looks really great.”

hedgie said...

Margy, you weren't with us at our nest when we saw the B.O. there??
Glad you got to see one yesterday, and got pics!! Whoo Hoo as Jo would say!

Lolly said...

Uh....Margy! Please describe the actual dish in which you are bringing your "treat" to the party. I just want to MAKE SURE I know which dish is yours. roflmbo

magpie said...

LOL Lolly! ☺

I just decided, though, that I could make One Fried Green Tomato !
Straight from the Garden !

Lynn, I have seen Baltimore Orioles, often...but never the nest !
sorry for that confusion....
I used to have the Balto Orioles on my property on Mary Street...high up on the Black Walnut Trees....

hedgie said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
magpie said...

Lynn
about the schedule...
when one is leaving... it sometimes happens that they practically leave before that date arrives...
guess they don't mind a burning bridge left behind

It is fortunate that Carolyn is flexible-
AND capable ....I think that was a "Just in Case" plan set up on Friday

Lolly said...

One fried green tomato sounds wonderful. So, now we have a decorated cake, one fried green tomato (you are leaving that other delightful dish at home?) and margaritas. We are on a roll!

Time for me to leave. Need to prepare a dish for a luncheon. Vaking vaked fruit!☺

Have a great Monday! BBL

hedgie said...

I agree with Wanda that it is VA Creeper around the edges of the nest, and sycamore leaves in the forefromnt. The flowering, which isn't real evident in the wind, is sycamore blooms.

hedgie said...

DANAWV: JudyE's comments mean:
Have a Good Day Off to Work I Go.

magpie said...

Lynn
think there was some sort of family need or crisis involved also
not sure, but sometimes it is just
inconsiderateness

Okay Lolly, keep our Celebration Menu items tabulated for us

time to kick some fanny, mine for example, and get some things taken care of
Must go play in the dirt soon!
By the way, a friend of mine dug up volumes of Lily of the Valley plants, complete with roots....her husband said Too Many in the Garden, Get rid of them...
I will have some extra if anyone would like to have them....

Take Care, All
xoxo ♥

hedgie said...

Gotcha, Margy, on all your explanations.....still confused about the 4-chick nest, tho!, cause I don't think I dreamt the 3!
Guess you got my email about verizon!
I see that Jo already answered Dana's ? about JudyE's acronyms!
Oh, well....
I can't keep up!

I'll bring some Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream for the party Lolly is throwing for Shirley!! Will have to scrounge for dry ice----not sold anyplace in Martinsburg/Berkeley Co. anymore. Will have to make a trip to Winchester!

magpie said...

Jo!

Thank You !!! I refresh comments and totally missed backing up to yours at 10:31 AM

everyone, you want to back up and get this....spectacular...
Glo's handiwork, a collage of events from eggs to fledging...

Glorious Video....
Thanks Again, Mema Jo !!!

magpie said...

The Most Glorious Post in all the 700 on this thread, hands down !

Mema Jo said...

WVGAL DANA
HAGD have a good day OTWIG off to work I go Sorry to corn fuse anyone as if that is possible with this bunch LOL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Watching that video is so bittersweet. I remember it like it was yesterday! Crying here now.

JudyEddy said...

Hey has anyone had 502 or 503 today I bet he is on vacation I know I haven't had any issues so far And thanks for the info on the greenery in the nest

hedgie said...

Found what I was looking for about the 4-eaglet nest. First in VA.....initial report states:
"More than 8,000 breeding attempts have been monitored in Virginia as part of the annual survey and this is the first 4-chick brood ever documented in the state. As far as we are aware, this represents only the third 4-chick brood ever documented for this species. The first was in 1986 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the second was in 2009 in the water gap portion of the Delaware River."

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda the day you and Gene where at the nest. You said Nu was about or did take off his shirt. If he did I TRULY THINK THAT IS THE PICTURE THIS GROUP WANTED LOL

Bob Quinn said...

Actually Lynn, I haven't been out shooting for awhile. Maybe this weekend.

JudyEddy said...

SHIRLEY this is for you
Happy Retirement I thought was cute although its a graduation you have graduated to retirement

wvgal_dana said...

JudyE that blue link you put on there for Shirley's graduation is ---- S U P E R !!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

wvgal_dana said...

Bob nice to see you on the blog. It has been awhile. Have you been feeling ok? Hoping that is why you haven't been here.

Lynne2 said...

HAPPY PIGEON DAY! In honor of that, her are Silver and Spot, 2 pigeons that flew into my life, 2 weeks apart, in the summer, and stayed (and actually left 2 weeks apart) til the following spring.

Hope everyone is having a good day..

HAPPY RETIREMENT SHIRLEY!

I'm off to my sad job, will try to check in later.

Bob Quinn said...

Thanks Dana. Been busier than a one armed paper hanger. Some residual concussion symptoms but no big deal. Just to be safe I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow.

hedgie said...

Bob, weather sure hasn't been terribly good----too hot, too wet....today and the next couple would be ideal if you can take time off to do it!

Great card, JudyE.
Nope, no 503's for me today!

Lynne.....what do you mean "sad" job?????

Hi, Sharon!!!

Hoda said...

Prayers to Bob as he goes to see the neurologist tomorrow...Hope all turns out to your satisfaction Bob...Wishes for Good Health and Blessings come your way

Costume Lady said...

hedgie said...

Saw a shadow and hear clunking on assembly.

Mema Jo said...

Man I just came in to see if anymore comments had been made and
ERROR 503 - Not fair!

Bob Quinn said...

No need to worry about me, I'm fine. No need need to worry about me, I'm fine. Did I say that already? I'm confused. No, I'm fine. What?

hedgie said...

Bob, glad you are seeing the neuro....not good to be still be having residual symptomatolgy. Pray that all is well and that you are back to 100% very soon.

Another nice card, JudyE.

Which reminds me....Shirley, check you email!!! I think Friday!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon Even now as I watch
that June 14th video I actually at the end call out loud "GO SPUNKY"
What a day! It will never be
forgotten by so many!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Go Bob! :) No, stay I mean.

Mema Jo said...

BOB I'm going to come and knock you in the head with my eagle
cane if you don't stop teasing us!
ROFL What's that you said?


You be all better soon!

Bob did you get the word that Open House for this year in Oct won't happen until Earth Day in April 2012

Mema Jo said...

JudyE Card for Shirley is very
appropriate! She will love it!
I am praying for Shirley that she
will get through the day and that
not too many tears are shed. Life
changes are sometimes overwhelming!

Mema Jo said...

BBILW

Bob Quinn said...

Yes, I heard about the Open House Jo. Will there be an interim gathering at Rumpelstiltskin's Tavern?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Bob, there will have to be an interim meeting. We cannot wait that long!!

hedgie said...

Geesh---can't believe all my typos!
Sorry!

Having a time with Liesl. Took half-an-hour to make her understand that chewing on the corner of the mat in front of the door is VERBOTEN! Hard-headed German! Had to resort to calling her a dumkoph!

hedgie said...

Gotta run to town....my replacement frames are in---others were defective. Too bad they weren't open yesterday--I was only two blocks away! BBL.

hedgie said...

Oh, Margy---they come back proliferously (ha! is that a word?) every year....and spread! They are even in the gravel of the driveway in a couple of spots!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Howdy, Gang!

Dropping in to say Good Morning/Afternoon! Can't stay long, but HAD to say hello and see how everyone is doing.

Bob, prayers for your appt. tomorrow with the neurologist. Hope you're back to 100% very soon!

Lynn, had to laugh about Liesl and the mat she wants to chew. She will get the idea eventually, I'm sure. Emma finally "got it" that the corners of the coffee table are not for teething!

Margy, thank you so much for the American Flag/Flag Day info! I know I learned all that in school when I was a kid, but it's so nice to have a refresher course! Glad you spotted a Baltimore Oriole nest! Lucky you! I'm jealous!

Shirley, your retirement breakfast at IHOP sounds wonderful! What day this week does your retirement become official?

Well, need to go pay some bills online. :o[ (They never stop appearing in the mailbox, do they?!) BBIALW...

Ms Bookworm said...

Oops!--almost forgot. Jim, are you feeling better today? Sure hope so! Prayers for your health! OK, gotta go pay some bills. :o[

stronghunter said...

Jo, no tears. I can't wait to have more time to spend talking to the Momsters.

Lynn and JudyE, thank you for your very thoughtful cards. I feel as if I have graduated, Judy. The graduation card was very appropriate.

File cabinets are cleaned out.

I still have my desk and a metal cabinet to work on, but I have reached the point that I need to sit down for awhile. I have to kill some time until the school board meets at 6:00, but I am pretty tired of hauling stuff down the hall.

I will come back on Wednesday or Thursday and finish up. I still have to report dual enrollment grades to Germanna I will bring Hunter then. I think I will go computer shopping tomorrow. I have to get my own laptop now.

Bob, What??

Seriously, hope the ol' noggin is OK!

paula eagleholic said...

Oooo, Shirley, laptop shopping is so fun! You may want to go into Best Buy or Staples and get the "feel" of it, then buy it online.

Judie said...

Hi everyone.

Been a busy day here.

Margy, 5 Kestrel babies in the box a few minutes ago.

Shirley, so pleased you had a nice breakfast and with second and thirds to enjoy. Bet you can still hardly believe the time has arrived.

Paula, hope Nugz is feeling a little better.

Lolly, I think I will bring alphabet soup to Shirley's virtual party. Letters can be used to create names of famous literary characters.

Wanda, I don't think NU was really getting too hot. I think he knew you were taking a picture of a hottie!

Bob, glad you are going for a checkup. Hope all is okay and you will be able to visit more often. Hi to Sarah.

Going back to work now. Will visit later tonight.

Bob Quinn said...

Hey, hey Paula! Just a little dain bramage. A lobotomy will fix me right up.

stronghunter said...

Judie,

Alphabet soup . . .

Literary characters?

LOL! Literally!

stronghunter said...

Okay, is Blogger Cop trying to retire me from the blog?

I suddenly had to sign in. And I just posted a little while ago?

stronghunter said...

Split time is almost upon us.

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley, first day with no students and your math skills have gone to he** ... there are 42 more posts after mine till we split... ☺

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I was going to bring hot dogs to the retirement party but Buddy ate them all! :)

Lolly said...

Shirley, we are having a retirement party for you this evening!

So far on the menu

A DECORATED CAKE
MARGARITAS
ONE FRIED GREEEN TOMATO (and be glad it is not Margy's first offer)
TURKEY HILL CHOCOLATE PEANUTBUTTER ICE CREAM/on dry ice(Lynn has to travel to get ice)
ALPHABET SOUP

Retirement really does not begin for Shirley until school starts this next school year. Then is when Shirley will dance with joy!!

paula eagleholic said...

Did he eat the buns, too?

Lolly said...

"Then is when", that sounds awful! Let's try "that is the time" Shirley will dance for joy!

Lolly said...

Sharon, you are going to have to come up with something else for the party. Or, just bring the buns. Which is it?

Lolly said...

I think I am getting ill.....99.1 right now. Groan...............

Just went out and bought my boys Dallas Mavericks Champion t-shirts.
They are going to be so excited!

JudyEddy said...

Home from work I hope everyone had a good day Now to do something before I start reading

HEDGIE thanks for the info on the four eagles, HMMM I wonder being they know the nest is there I wonder if they will put a camera up for next season Just a though.

JudyEddy said...

Hey I think I have figured out my state of confusion of not knowing the right days of the week Today is Mon but the blog says SAT I guess I'm just looking for someone or something to blame HA HA

Judie said...

Lolly, you may borrow some of the letters from the alphabet soup to help with grammar.

Lolly said...

Oh, thank you, Judie!!!

Lolly said...

Just watched the video! Fantastic! What a perfect song to go with the pictures. Wow!

Mema Jo said...

You best watch what you call your
Liesl, Lynn or else she'll go behind the couch again and the
Bark at you! lol

hedgie said...

Paula, had you missed about Bob's fall a few weeks ago??? He hit his head and had a concussion!
Obviously, effects linger!!! Poor Bob!! MAYBE POOR SARAH!!!

Shirley, do you have anyone helping you tote those boxes??

Sharon, you sure got that right about the hot dogs!!!! Hi, Buddy---teasing you! Good dog!

Judie, easy trial day today, huh?!!

hedgie said...

LOL, Paula....no, Buddy only got the dogs!! We didn't feed him buns! That would have been overkill!

Judie said...

Yep, easy trial day. Just cannot imagine who is going to be on the stand tomorrow afternoon. Some speculation it might be a jail-mate (always tricky unless no deal at all in any form has been offered) but I rather suspect it might be another forensic expert. Loving the forensics!

Off to the kitchen. Need to begin the alphabet soup.

hedgie said...

Ooh....going down to 49° here tonight! Won't that make for snug sleeping??

Lolly, I sure hope that whatever you have passes quickly. You and Jim may have the same bug.

Lolly said...

LOL Sorry to mislead you, Lynn!! Just read what I typed and see that I could have been a little clearer. Duh! I was talking about the weather!

Do you know that (knock on wood) I have not had a cold or sinus infection in about 3 years. I am basically very healthy!

Lolly said...

Hear a pretty bird song on the cam.

hedgie said...

Judie, no reason why an inmate wouldn't have been "available" at any time the prosecution wanted, right?
I would guess that an expert was maybe tied up in another case, or travel delay of some major kind.

hedgie said...

Okay, Lolly.....glad you don't have a fever. Are you feelin gill because we're going to have a cool night and you are having a very hot day??

Hoda said...

Well I think BOB has a GREAT sense of humour...Way to go...Mema Jo and Paula are pretty funny too with their responses to his posts...I have a big smile...

Margy to the party tonight I will bring Hors d'oeuvres and dry white wine...and since there can never be too much dessert I will bring chocolate cream puffs.

Happy Retiremet Shirley. I only realized it in September when it was time to go back to school. I went on a trip instead and it felt wonderful...Enjoy your summer holidays first...it took me several weeks to unwind over the summer too...

Lynn, Poor Liesl can not eat the carpet???Why not???LOL with those beautiful eyes to boot...oh my what is a dog to do then??? ;^) !!!

57 degrees here today and rainy...tonight down to 46 with thunder showers.

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Lynn, I know about Bob's noggin' knock.

I have 80 email comments to read Right now I'm trying to let my ibuprofen go to work on my neck before I start Just wanted to say that video kicks butt COOL BEANS I love it I just can't say it enough

hedgie said...

Can anyone think of what would resemble an osprey, but smaller???
I saw a cool sight. MARGY: I was west on 9 at the light in the H'ville square. A hollowed out limb end right over top of the traffic light had a large bird going in and settling....white face...rest of bird was black. Wonder if she had a nest in there...closed my sunroof just in case!

Hoda said...

Could it have been a broad winged hawk? Or a Sharp Shinned Hawk Lynn/Hedgie?

magpie said...

magpie said...

Hedige

magpie said...

Hoda, well first of all, Howdy!

hedgie said...

Good news! NBG eaglet NZ will return to the flight pen tomorrow!!

JudyEddy said...

BOB I hope your appt goes good Will be keeping you in my prayers

SHIRLEY I will provide the coffee but I may be late to the party
Kopi Luwak is a rare and gourmet coffee from Indonesia that is made from beans passed through the digestive system of monkeys.

JudyEddy said...

I love this picture of my day A beer and a cigarette

magpie said...

I see where you asked Lynne about her job at the Sad Place, Lynn...
I'm wondering if Lynne2 referred to her job this afternoon as the Sad Place because, is that where she helps at Manchester? Maybe some sick little pets or something?
Hope she comes on and talks to us later

magpie said...

We are nearing the 800 mark which means
we will
SPLIT

paula eagleholic said...

I have heard of that coffee, JudyE....might pass on that, LOL

Heading out to water. Nugz seems a little better, he will supervise by laying in the grass ☺

magpie said...

oh, that might be as popular as Beef Tongue, Judy!

new Megan Flowers are in the ground, Purple Nicotiana, and Lime Green Nicotiana, aka Flowering Tobacco...will water and talk to them later !

shower time...
Best Wishes for a Good Evening Everyone....
ttfn xoxo

hedgie said...

Nope, not a hawk or a pileated.....not that big.....and really looked like a miniature osprey! Margy, try to remember to look for it the next time you go through. Too big for a downy woodpecker, too...and no white showing om body....just face.

Heading for sofa....ate too much...need to stretch out a bit!
BBL!

BTW----our Ceil is doing something she said she would never do....she is in the air, winging to Portland, OR with Jim and MM for Kevin's wedding! Train could not go past Chicago due to flooding.....so they got a refund and flew out of Dulles about 25 mins. ago!!!!! She WAS very nervous!

magpie said...

Okay Paula! I can picture that!
Great weather today and upcoming tomorrow....good thing, plants need a little break from the heat

wondering how your tomato plants are doing...

JudyEddy said...

HEDGIE 49 I say cold Brrr and 59 is too cold for me I think our low probably 77 Moving righ along only a little more to read gonna take a neck break LM

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Bob prayers for tomorrow for your neurologist appt. Well we want you to be safe!
Love your Rumpelstiltskin's
Tavern remark lol...Oh Bob don't try to tell the doctor about that one. He will definately think something is wrong with you LOL

Hedgie-Lynn is speaking German to Liesl...and she is going for new frames??? Will the new frames stop
Lynn from speaking German? lol

Lolly I'll bring to Shirley retirement party. Chocolate cake with peanut butter icing.

magpie said...

Wow, that is BIG news about Ceil's flying
Prayers that she finds it very exciting....what she will see from the air, will be spectacular!
Thanks, Hedgie..

only other bird I found so far in bird book is White Crowned Pigeon
(but that is a Florida Specialty... and only the Crown is white....☺)

I am looking at kingbird, etc....too much white

maybe a mutant or something..or juvenile....something
I will keep looking !

wvgal_dana said...

JudyE's blue link that says SHIRLEY. I love the commerical that has the dog riding in a car with his butt instead of his head sticking out the window LOL
