Thanks for the new thread STEVE You are spoiling us

Judie said...

Thank you, Steve. Have a nice weekend, please and thank you.

Lynn, Chesapeake Expressway? Been gone from that part of the world for 45 years. Interstate 66 was started but not completed. Now I feel really really ancient.

Andy, just too much fun because the excitement of finishing school just jumps right out from your last post. Hope hubby and children and grandchildren are just as excited.

JudyE, do wish Jordyn would improve more quickly. When does she return to the dr. for checkup?

JudyEddy said...

I see you made it Judie you called it and when I came over I didn't see a post thought you got lost LOL

JudyEddy said...

WOW just had a elec malfunction power went off and right back on heard a loud pop someone lost a transformer lucky my power came right on but I had typed a bunch and now don't remember what I was typing LOL OLD AHE

JudyEddy said...

LYNN The Dr didn't say anything about thrush when he looked in her mouth did a swab and it came back as STREP super fast he was surprised it was that fast with results said usually have to wait 5min but not with her He gave he a mixture of Maalox and Benadryl to swab her mouth with for numbing purposes only It doesn't seem to hurt her she eats no problem and doesn't complain about it at all She is the best kid when taking her meds and letting them swab her mouth such a trouper

I think everyone has flown the coupe so I will too being she is asleep I can get something done BBL

Linda said...

Thanks, Steve! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

LYNN - We were having all sorts of problems with our border collie, Riley, before we left. He was acting really strange at night as if night time was thunderstorm time. I was sleeping in a different room with him with the light on, the door closed, a fan on to mute out noise and the dark room shade down so he had no clue anything may even happen.

I thought he might be having vision problems. Anyway, we had to leave him with my SIL here, who ended up having to crate him at night in their finished basement where it was quiet. He even ripped the crate bed to shreds one night. Poor thing.

He came home exhausted and has been sleeping a lot. I wonder if he was awake for a week! They said he was okay in the daytime, but they wouldn't have know if he was nervous and carrying on at night. It was still better than taking him to the vet.

He's doing fine now that we are home and settled and even sleeping through the night again. Here is hoping that he doesn't go back to his strange habits of scratching in the bathtub at night, and just sitting there listening for the next sound.

If anything continues again, I will take him into the vet. He's 11 now and may have something going on that we have no idea about.

hedgie said...

JudyE---Liesl is more herself but not 100% yet. She piddled in front of the kitchen sink last evening! :(
How is Jordyn's mouth???? Forgot to say that the antibiotic precipitates the thrush.....no fair! Cure for one thing causes another.....

hedgie said...

Judie---C.E. is a 16.5-mile-long limited access highway between the I-64/I-464 interchange and the North Carolina border.

JudyE--see that you did ssee my post on old thread....did the Dr. see her AFTER the stuff appeared in her mouth as opposed to just her throat? I have never seen strep in the mouth itself.

JudyEddy said...

I put a little video on face book of them doing her mouth last nite to show what a big girl she is The best kid in the world

JudyEddy said...

Ok I still haven't done anything but play on puter so it is time for me to bid a farwell

hedgie said...

Linda, poor Riley. It does sound like emotional issues (fear of the storms, seperation anxiety) but it could be something physical....maybe Lynne will chime in with her expertise. Hope it's all okay now. Liesl is still sleeping more than usual so I too suspect that she slept little for 4nights.

hedgie said...

Jordyn was a real trooper! Sweetheart, for sure.

JudyEddy said...

It was there when she went to him that is why Angie took here because of the spots inside her cheeks and her tongue I thought it was thrush and so did everyone else and he said no thrush is more a cottage cheese look and this was strep and she probably will be worse with it but so far they are going away and no rash yet either He just has the cold like symptoms runny nose and hacking gagging cough

JudyEddy said...

Have you noticed I;m still here I don't want to make a lot of noise let her sleep while she can I know that is just an excuse for me to sit here and type and play LOL

JudyEddy said...

oops that should have been took her not took here LOL

JudyEddy said...

No rain today at all everyone yards are still draining in to the road I hate to complain about how hot it is when poor LOLLY is hotter than me .

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Andy, I am so happy for you finishing school and even happier that you still love me after it is all said and done! :) Thank God you love doing transcription, otherwise I might have lost a friend! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And talking about Chesapeake Bay, every year Daddy would take Andrew to Norfolk right after school was out. They loved to fish there on Willoughby Spit. Andrew would always get said when it was time to leave and say "bye bye big water".

Nice eagle story/pic
http://www.startribune.com/local/127347018.html

Hope you all can view it.

Lynne2 said...

Hi all, just checking in from work. Never got on last night! May not get on tonight, either. We'll be heading for WV in the AM for the weekend.

Lynne2 said...

I have only read back on this new thread, but Linda....I would recommend a physical and a complete senior dog blood work up for Riley for sure. AND a urinalysis as well.

Congrats Andy!

hedgie said...

Sad news from WCV.....the eagle with the compound fracture was euthanized today. :(
WCV update

JudyEddy said...

Wildlife Center of Virginia
A sad update on the Shenandoah County Bald Eagle. Sadly, the wing artery must've been damaged -- once in surgery, Dr. Miranda realized the fractured bones weren't viable. Despite some repair work, she and Dr. Adam soon realized that a repair wasn't possible

SAD NEWS ON THE EAGLE

JudyEddy said...

OOPS saw LYNN posted same thing

hedgie said...

CarolAnne...I can't stop looking at that pic. Had saved it to my puter a few weeks ago....just so touching, isn't it?

Here's a complete article about the wine and sunburn....you DRINK it! That leaves me out of the benefit!
Drinking wine may prevent sunburn

stronghunter said...

Beautiful picture, CarolAnne. I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for the link.

stronghunter said...

Thanks for the wine story, Lynn. I hadn't seen that, either.

hedgie said...

Well, crud on the foundation is not going to just hose off.....gonna have to scrub it. So guess I'll try that in the morning. On the couple of windows the stain stuff got on, it apparently is going to take scraping. Got the storm door done....but using a little razor scraper is NOT going to cut it. Think I'll make a trip to Lowe's tomorrow and hope they have a 3-4" scraper on a handle (like a hammer handle). Had one at "the other house".... Did I tell you about the truck windshield having overspray on it, too?? UGH! Despite their "fear", I think it would have been safer IN the garage----or he should have had me put it twice as far away.
Can you tell that I am NOT a very happy camper?

stronghunter said...

I can tell, Lynn. You paid them plenty, too, as I recall.

Judie said...

Ah, Willoughby Spit♥

hedgie said...

I wonder if an auto ice scraper would work? I have one that is big and easy to hold.....will have to look for it...truck? garage? basement?? Who knows!!

Judie said...

Any recourse, Lynn? Seems painters would be responsible for damage.

hedgie said...

Put some trail cam pics on my Lair. Coons and deer....no bears, or anything else of interest.

hedgie said...

Probably not, Judie. Nothing was ever said about "clean up"......so guess I'm stuck with doing it myself---or getting SIL's bro to do it. He currently owes me 6 hrs. of work cause I didn't have any small bills the last time I paid him!

paula eagleholic said...

Just checking in to let you know I am heading to the beach!!!

Have a great evening!

stronghunter said...

Have a nice trip, Paula.

hedgie said...

Shirley, Topper says Fredericksburg will probably get the smoke from the the swamp fire tomorrow. Hope Hunter doesn't have a game.

hedgie said...

Drive safely, Paula! Try to check in to let us know you get there okay!

Lolly said...

Bye Paula! Have a great weekend!

LOL Lynn, drinking the wine is MUCH better!!! I'll drink to that!☺

Lynn, think they should come back out and do the clean up! I imagine you are not a happy camper.

T-shirts are done and they look great. Ended up putting our names on our shirts with a small hawk beside each name. Will definitely get a group picture. We do every year!

wvgal_dana said...

Sad new abuot the eagle from Shenandoah County. I am glad it was given a chance though.

Paula prayers for safe driving and hope we hear when you get there.

Thanks for the two links will go back and check them out.

wvgal_dana said...

We do often hear bad things. Well this is a good thing
LADY PICKED TO THROW OUT BASEBALL

hedgie said...

Happy lady!!
Lottery win doesn't come up.

PA Nana said...

Good evening everyone.

Paula, safe trip to your haven. I'm soooo jealous! ;p ((hugs))

Lynn, so sorry you have to clean up. Doesn't seem fair.
I see our teams are playing each other tonight. May the better team win. ;o)

Teresa & Max on their way here from ME. She called and they are in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Pit stop and din din.

She dropped hubby off at a Connecticut airport. He's on his way to Utah, I think; some type of musical trip. Pray they arrive safely.

Understand Max is feverish. Poor baby..... needs some Pop Pop & Nana lovin'

Andy, CONGRATS!!!! It's been a long, hard path you chose, but, girl, you made it and we're proud of you!

Judie said...

Lynn, really sorry about the cleanup being your job.

Paula, I know you've headed to the beach. Safe trip and have fun.

Diann, well, let the best Redskins team win! Have fun with Teresa and Max.

Lolly, glad you have the shirts finished. I know they are just adorable.

JudyEddy said...

WVGALDANA what a nice heart warming story I sent it out to some of my email buds to share Realy sweet

JudyEddy said...

Sort of have bad news Chelsea had a miscarriage she is the one that got PG when he is on leave from Afghanistan

JudyEddy said...

Safe trip Paul enjoy the beach

JudyEddy said...

That was PAULA not Paul

hedgie said...

Hi, DI! Enjoy your precious Max---you will make his fever all better!!

Judy, so sorry about Chelsea. I know how she feels.....even tho' early, it still is a sad disappointment. :( Prayers for her and her hubby.

Judie...you got that right: may the best Redskins team win!!!

Lynne2 said...

Just wanted to pop back in real quick to say


GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Ok let's retry the Lottery video

SOME OF THEM WERE JUST LAID OFF

JudyEddy said...

Hope the video works now.

Lynne and Steve take care have a safe trip. Over the mountains and through the woods. ( :

JudyE truly sorry for Chelsea and her husband. Putting them in prayer.

PA Nana said...

Ahem... Judie, not you too!

Thanks for the back-up Lynne!

back to the game....

Linda said...

Just finished dinner and thinking about a long bath tonight......

Worked on thank you notes today, which does a number on my wrist all the way up to my neck, but more importantly it makes me sad my brother is really gone!!

On the happier side, we've had so much love and support. That's what gets you through these things! ♥

I've got it best, because I have all of you! ☺ ♥

PA Nana said...

Darn! Last post just hung in cyber space....

Linda said...

Diann - Have been praying for pain relief for you. How are you doing?

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I am so very very sorry. I just remembered somewhere along the comments. Someone ask me if this avatar picture is of the hibiscus plant. Yes it is on the left of my porch as I walk out the door. I planted it this year. Its first bloom was the dzy I left for Colorado. It just keeps on blooming. I don't have to do anything to it the old blooms just drop off and new ones come on. That is the type of plant I like lol

stronghunter said...

Lynne,
Boo!
Hiss!

wvgal_dana said...

Linda we are here for you. I know those notes sometimes can get you down alittle. Walk away for awhile. Then go back to them a little later. Honey Billy is there with you...he sits with you, he walks around with you, if you cry he is there, if you laugh he is there and he continues to always love you. (((((((HUGS))))))))

stronghunter said...

Hunter does have a game tomorrow morning, Lynn. I hope we don't get the smoke.

Linda said...

Awe, thanks so much WV Dana. Your words brought tears to my eyes. You're absolutely right and I rejoice in those memories and the fact that he is in Heaven and suffering no more.

He must have been suffering because we discovered he was pushing himself and not getting the rest and oxygen he really needed.

Billy was one of those who would never let you know he "wasn't ok" when if fact that was the case. He always said things were great and had a smile on his face.

Thanks, Dana! I'm feeling the love and ((((hugs)))) coming my way!

Linda said...

I'm off to take my long hot bath to relax and unwind!

xoxo

stronghunter said...

Touchdown!!

hedgie said...

TOUCHDOWN, REDSKINS!!

stronghunter said...

Oh, Linda, that sounds like a good idea. I hope you have a very relaxing evening.

Prayers and good wishes for you.

Lynne2 said...

BOOOOOO HISSSSSSS

stronghunter said...

Lol, Lynne!

Lynne2 said...

:)

wvgal_dana said...

Well Redskins just got a touch down.

You know I am trying to watch this game. I don't know I will make it through the whole game.

I might take some advice I gave Linda.

Lynne2 said...

I have my special Steelers socks on!

stronghunter said...

Kathryn is playing Scrabble. Muttering about a 30-point word.

Touchdown Steelers.

hedgie said...

Tied game.

stronghunter said...

58-yard return!!

Judie said...

JudyE, sorry about Chelsea's miscarriage. I'm sure she will be successful next time.

Happy Jordyn seems to be improving. Hope that continues.

Lynne, safe trip and have a good weekend.

Go 'skins!

NatureNut said...

Evening Everybody!!
Fubby changed the channel, so I didn't hear the news for Skins. Lynne, I like Steelers,too, & 2!

CONGRATULATIONS, ANDY What a remarkable feat!!! I hope the real work will be much easier than the classes!!You'll be an old pro in no time!!!

Safe travels for Paula & Lynne.
Carol Anne, that is a great picture and story. I saved it.
JudyE, hope little Jordyn gets well
soon. Prayers for Chelsea.

Got an email BY PHONE from friend Jeanne this AM.(She never texted before-kids showed her!)About 11 AM Danny was moved to a private room so she can spend the night tonight!!!!So, I got the Rm. # & snail mail will be on the way.Thx for all the prayers. They really appreciate them!
BBL, I hope--gotta eat & punch that game button!!!

wvgal_dana said...

LORETTA CAN YOU PUT UP THE LINK THAT CAROLANN PUT UP. I COULDN'T GET IT BACK THERE

Kay said...

LORETTA, wow, Danny out of a room and out of CCU already---very good !

ANDY, someone earlier today mentioned how proud of you the family must be---agreed---but it reminds me to ask how your SIL is doing post-car accident ?

JUDYE, sorry to hear Chelsea's sad news. Hope they'll have that baby they want a little later on !

Kay said...

I'm bummed because it's pledge week on my PBS station, so can't watch the national and local pols hash the events of the week over. Then I see on channel surfing that two networks have football. May the best teams win, but just can't get too enthused over that game--not til' playoffs and bowls. So, what's a girl to do, guess I'll turn to Netflix or magazines or a book....

Will be remembering all the prayer requests and thinking of you, my dear Eagle Buds, with love ! Have a nice evening, a good night and I'll catch up with you again tomorrow.

♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Kay said...

Oops, LORETTA, that should have been "into" a room and out of CCU already. Guess I am tired.

hedgie said...

10-7, SKINS!

PA Nana said...

Boo Hiss!!!

NatureNut said...

Dana WV, I just copied it up to the Search bar. Do you want me to make a Blue thingy??? Will try
Eagle on Tombstone

hedgie said...

Wish my man Cooley was playing....hoping that his knee mends quickly. FOund out a couple of days ago that he is a potter and has his own gallery in Leesburg! Girls and I are planning to go!

NatureNut said...

Lynn, if Skins are ahead now,Hope you get to relax from the "House" cleaning today. That's not fair! They should have cleaned up after themselves.

Lolly, hope you have a wonderful Camp Needwood week! BTW, one of the ladies, Joyce, at Park who works 3 days & is doing lots of the Sec. work is visiting her daughter in TX & will travel 20 miles to Frisco to visit our retired Secretary, Lois! World gets smaller!!!
Gotta do some stuff--Park in AM & Monday, too.

PA Nana said...

Wish Polamalu & Harrison was well too.

Skins are playing good.

Shhh... Steelers need a bit more practice.
You didn't hear me say that!

Lynne2 said...

sshhhhhhhhhh......

hedgie said...

SCORE!!!! 13-7!

Lynne2 said...

shhhhh......it.......

Mema Jo said...

Moon is shinning brightly - remember early morning hours we can see lots of
shooting stars and meteorites.

My shopping day was fun with Izzy And
Samantha. We all had lunch at China Garden - My sugar level soars after
eating there. Hubby said I best think about not eating Sesame Chicken/rice/tea and I agreed not to do
it more then once every two months...

I am watching the Skins/Steelers game
I see on FB pictures of Hunter and of
Samantha. I hope they are enjoying the excitement and isn't the weather just perfect for the game. I like the score too

wvgal_dana said...

lol PaNana and Lynne

Thanks Loretta got it ( :

PA Nana said...

Lynne, I agree!

Lynne2 said...

ooooopppppsss

Lynne2 said...

LOL! I have to get to bed. UGH....soggy weekend on tap. Have a good one everybody, goodnight a prayers for all!

hedgie said...

Don't forget my trail cam pics!

Loretta....20 miles to Frisco from TX---assuming it is NOT SAN FRAN, right??? We were also looking at houses in Frisco, NC!

hedgie said...

Jo, I'm hoping they win for Hunter and Samantha, too!!! A kid's first pro game should always be a win for their team!!!!

Linda said...

LYNNE - Why would you recommend senior bloodwork and urinalysis for Riley if he is having trouble with sleeping, being nervous, fears, etc. What type of things could be going wrong?

If I missed you, thanks for the advice and hope you have a great weekend.

My bath was heavenly and I feel much more relaxed!

Linda said...

No Steelers game here and we're in PA. What is that all about? We get Tampa Bay at Kansas City.

Makes no sense to me.....

hedgie said...

16-7!!!!! Go SKINS!!!!

Mema Jo said...

I agree with you Lynn
FOR THE KIDS and us too.

Love the Score - ♥

Linda said...

Dennis says the perseid meteor shower is going on right now. It is when the earth is going through the tail of an old comet. Happens yearly at this time. He is going out to check it out and see if he can see anything.

Linda said...

Missing MARGY tonight. She must be enjoying her time with James!

MARGY - Hope you had a wonderful visit with James. He knows we all love him!

hedgie said...

DC station has that game, too, Linda. Skins/Steelers is on NBC---national broadcast; Tampa/KC on FOX. Strange.....no fair!
Hope Lynne checks in again and answers your question.....she will have logical explanation for her suggestion. She's a smart cookie!

Mema Jo said...

For Patrick

Mema Jo said...

Linda - Let me know what Dennis sees out
there up in the sky. I think I'll look
out my front door.

Margy and James are probably looking
upward also.

hedgie said...

Fairly sure that Margy has to work tomorrow, so she should be hitting the hay very soon! Hope her Dinosaur is okay....but think she would send me a text if it wasn't!
She isn't usually out THIS late!
Maybe Tom Sweetie met her in the parking lot with a tasty treat!

hedgie said...

I can't see enough sky to see any meteors.....and the moon is very bright!!!

Lynne2 said...

OK, glad I'm still here!

Linda....generally speaking, when there are behavior changes, unless you can pinpoint WHY, then the best thing to do is rule out anything going on physically. The complete blood work up with check all body functions, red and white blood cell counts, thyroid level, etc. And every senior dog should have a complete workup because many things that happen physically in older dogs can be caught early and treated.
Complete urnine testing will also work along with the blood results to further detect any problems.
You want to make sure the vet does a neurological exam (reflexes),checks for any pain on flexation of limbs, check the eyes to look for any problems there. INSIST ON IT. I have worked for vets who will do a quick once over despite owner concerns and miss things they shouldn't have. Go with your gut and never let any vet tell you nothing is wrong if you really think something isn't quite right.
Since our pets can't talk to us and tell us what they are feeling, it's the only way to find out.

Dogs can become anxious if they aren't feeling good. And older dogs can indeed become senile, although that is usually a more subtle onset. It could be just about anything....or nothing to worry about. So try not to worry just yet, and while waiting to see the vet, just be extra aware of any other changes you might see, and write them all down to let the vet know.

Lynne2 said...

Our sky here is SO clear, but the moon is too bright for good meteor sighting. Even so, it's possible!

Lynne2 said...

OK, the boss is getting out of the shower and I am not in bed yet. Let me rephrase....I am not SLEEPING yet! 4am comes early! SO I really have to go.

Linda, I won't be on all weekend...MILs computer is a dinosaur as well and I hesitate to use it for blogging, but I can check my email at some point on Saturday, and of course when I get home if you have any other questions.

BYE BYE!! LOVE to all!

hedgie said...

Final score 16-7, SKINS! WhooHoo!
Sorry, Steeler fans....

stronghunter said...

Skins win!!

NatureNut said...

SKINS WIN!!!

Linda said...

Dennis did go outside and I think he said it was in the northeast sky, but like Lynn said, the moon is too bright to see anything.

I don't know how long it lasts, but I know I'm not going out there. I'm too close to hitting the hay for the night!

Linda said...

Lynne - Thanks so much for the advice. Riley is due for his annual check up either this month or next month and I will certainly get those things checked out.

He's been fine since we got home, but something was surely strange the week before we left.

Again, thanks ♥

Mema Jo said...

Great game - lots of rookie possibilities this season.
Wonder how long it will take them to get
out of the parking lot! Bet they don't make it home until midnight.

Lynne have a safe journey and hopefully
not too wet of a weekend.

Linda said...

LYNN - Our NBC station had Dateline on tonight! Ugh...

NatureNut said...

Sorry Steeler Fans! I like them as well as Redskins (#1), Da Bears & Ravens.
I read some news the other day aqbout Meteor Shower & they said peak is Sat., but you can see some before and after. They said best time is early AM between Moon setting & Sunrise. I doubt I'll be up that early! We have lots of trees around here, too.
So if you're hitting the hay
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>) Prayers for all in need ^j^

stronghunter said...

Rus said Moss caught the touchdown right in front of them, and Rus waved his hat at him. Moss responded with a peace sign to Rus.

The Hogettes spoke to Hunter, but Hunter didn't exactly know who they were.

hedgie said...

Lynne, have a safe trip. Hope the rain doesn't thwart any plans.

I always have loved this Will Rogers quote:
"A vet has to be the smartest person in the world. His patients can't tell him what is wrong."

Lolly said...

Lynn, Frisco is a city in Texas, just north of Dallas.

Watching the TX Rangers here. Watched the Boys last night.

Can't believe what I did. I had a meeting at church last night and completely forgot about it. Thought of it at 8:30 tonight. Duh! Too much going on planning for Camp Hawkwood, I guess.

stronghunter said...

I heard that the best time to see the meteor shower is 4 AM. I doubt I will see it.

Just went out and looked, but the moon is really bright.

Hunter has a scrimmage tomorrow morning. He is going to be tired. After that, he spends the rest of the weekend with his dad.

Linda said...

Thanks for the additional info on that meteor shower Loretta!!

I won't be up that early, either!

Judie said...

Well, um, YIPPEEEEEEE! Go 'skins!
Gosh, there seems to be a snake in my computer. So much hissing going on.

Great news about Danny. Very quick transition so he must be doing really well. Prayers continue.

Yep, Cooley is cool. Pottery is his relaxation and creativity. He's a nice guy.

Jo, so glad you had a nice day. Get some rest, please.

Linda said...

Great Will Rogers quote, Lynn!

It's tough to diagnose Babies and Pets, both! That's where we momsters come in!!

Judie said...

Okay, I have a busy day tomorrow so need to get some sleep. The sandperson has already made a few attempts to get my attention. Seems not to understand about football games.

The night light is on for anyone who needs to arise in the night or for anyone coming in later from the West coast. Restful sleep for all.

hedgie said...

Cool, Shirley!!! Bet Rus was thrilled to see it that close-up! Tell Hunter that the Hogettes have been around for 30-some years!!!! And Chief Zee, too!!!

hedgie said...

Battery has died in my light-sensored Redskins mug that plays "Hail to the Redskins." Boo hoo.....I've had it for probably 25 yrs. and it still worked last year! No way to get to the battery---sealed inside the porcelain.

Linda said...

The sandman must have moved north to PA, JUDIE because I'm right behind you. Thanks for leaving the night light on. I'd hate to trip up those stairs tonight!

WANDA - If you check in later, hope you had a wonderful Friday. Was it a family Friday? ♥

LOLLY - Make sure you get a good night's rest tonight before Camp begins!

HODA - Missed you this evening as well. Hope all is well with you.

PAULA - Prayers you arrived at the beach safely tonight.

LYNN, JO, SHIRLEY, LORETTA and others still awake, may you have sweet dreams and sleep peacefully tonight!

May God Bless and Protect Each and Every One of Us and the Critters we all love. Thanks for your love and support xoxo ♥♥♥

stronghunter said...

I don't know what Hoda thinks of the Redskins and the Steelers. She hasn't been around for one of our football narrations.

hedgie said...

Oh, Lolly....everyone forgets SOMETHING SOMETIME!!!! You HAVE been very busy!!!
I think my Frisco was as hot as yours earlier this week!!!


Shirley, if smoke prediction is right, I pray that they cancel Hunter's game. Depending on what time it starts wafting in, you might not have aq chance at seeing the Perseids, either, even if you are up!

stronghunter said...

Good night, Linda. Rest well.

hedgie said...

Wonder where Hoda is???

hedgie said...

JUDIE-----have you met Chris????

stronghunter said...

Hoda, wait until we have a Redskins/Cowboys game. Things get really crazy then.

hedgie said...

Good night, Linda and Judie. Sleep peacefully!

stronghunter said...

Wow, I hope it isn't that bad, Lynn. I do remember when there was a fire up in the mountains, and it was smoky in Culpeper.

stronghunter said...

Good night, Judie. Enjoy your busy day tomorrow.

paula eagleholic said...

How is everyone?

At the beach safe and sound

Judie said...

No, Cooley was in a segment on the news where he tried to "teach" two sportscasters how to make a bowl. Hilarious.

Hmmmm, maybe Hoda knows better than to get in the middle of football comments -- keeping a safe distance.

Bye

Costume Lady said...

♫♪♫HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!♫♪♫

hedgie said...

Shirley, maybe Hoda was lurking last season and already KNOWS how some of us are about our Football!!!!

Costume Lady said...

LOVE YOU,TOO STEELERS

stronghunter said...

Somehow, I don't think Hoda is that easily scared away. I'll bet she is out doing something exciting.

Costume Lady said...

Ahhh, football...Dustin plays his first game (scrimmage) tomorrow morning. I am so fearful because he is not built for football, but, I will go and watch, because I promised if he made the team, I would...didn't think a tall skinny fella like he, would make the team. He is playing Charles Town (Washington High School).

Hoda, the ballerinas danced beautifully. Yes, she was close to being anorexic

hedgie said...

LOL, Judie---you and I were thinking alike! I just should have refreshed and then I wouldn't have been an echo!!
Sorry I missed that interview---bet it was funny---depending on who the reporters were, especially!
What channel do you usually watch for news?

PA Nana said...

Well.... game is over, the news complete and I must get some sleep before Max wakes with the rooster.

prayers for good health and peace to all.

God bless and goodnight.

hedgie said...

Wanda, is the game at Washington? Enjoy!! Dustin will do fine! Normal to worry, but don't let him know!!!

Starting to worry a bit about Margy.....

hedgie said...

Paula, glad you made it okay, and Diann I'm glad that Teresa and Max arrived safely, too!

stronghunter said...

Good night, Diann.

stronghunter said...

You must watch Ch. 9, Lynn.

I have always watch Ch. 7. Maybe I am partial to ABC since I worked for an ABC affiliate many years ago.

Mema Jo said...

Patrick said: Skins rule and Steelers drool!! Yeah baby Wooooooooooo!

I think he is happy!

I'm going to say Good Night
Prayers for all in need.
Hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥

stronghunter said...

Grandmas can't help but worry some, Wanda.

But he will be happy to see you there.

stronghunter said...

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna grab my book and try to get a couple of chapters read...willtake one last look for meteors

Oh yeah I'm stayinmg at the beach thru Monday....my bro is going to stay down the whole week

See ya in the morn
(((Hugs for all)))

hedgie said...

Oh, Jo---Patrick got that right!!!

Yep, Shirley, 9 is my preference....but sometimes watch 7 and 4. Have some favorites on all of them! Hated when Gordon Peterson, Doug Hill and Maureen Bunyon deserted 9! And on 4, Pat Collins can be funny! His dad was my grandparent's doctor. His office was in their apartment building.

hedgie said...

Paula, is your bro vacationing for the week, or working for you??

Goodnight, Shirley and Paula. Sleep tight.

Heading for the tub, but I'll be back to check for Margy and Hoda appearances.

Costume Lady said...

Was it Sharon who was speaking of Willoughby Spit fishing...yes, I believe she said father/grandfather to Andrew fishing there. There use to be a seafood buffet restaurant there, with a wall of windows, looking out over the bay. Gene and I always stopped there when we went to Virginia Beach...wonderful food.
I believe it has been torn down to make room for boat launches and fishing areas.

Lowreeda, glad your friend, Danny is doing so well, but then, that doesn't surprise us!

LYNN, love your girls quaint way of distinguishing there grandparents, especially, "The grandma that lives at Granddaddy's house" Kids are so cute!

LINDA...yes, this was Family Friday. We had a super nice time. Haven't seen Denise and Brandon for 2 weeks and we had a lot of chatting to catch up on.
Jayden just chattered away to GG before she went to bed. She left us all sitting there and said she just HAD to go to bed. She kissed us all good night and went down the hallway with Jayden following close behing...chattering away. He starts out by saying "I talk" then he chatters unrecognizable words and goes on and on:) Poor GG can't hear him at all. Hearing aid is being repaired:(

Hoda said...

WELL!!! The game is over and JUDIE got it right!!!! I was not scared off but simply thought this is better to stay safe than to take sides!!!! You all were HILARIOUS, but there is some real serious competition going on here...LOL...Now I think it is safe to blog again!!!;^)!!!

Welcome to the beach house PAULA. I am glad you made a safe trip.


I take it HUNTER'S team won and that puts me in agreement that it would make it a more memorable experience for him since it was his first live game.

LYNNE and STEVE have a safe trip. I thought it was wonderful professional entry about check ups for an aging dog that you gave LINDA.

LOLLY I am glad you finished the T-shirts and I am sure they are beautiful. I am sorry you missed the meeting yesterday.

MARGY has not checked in and I missed her commentary, maybe indeed TOM SWEETIE brought her supper.LOL

Mema Jo said...

HODA - I have been scanning and looking for your last post which was
Tursday 12:45am.... And then I refresh
this thread and there you are
How did you do that?

I am also looking for our Margy...

Hoda said...

JO One of the things I lesarnt form my years in the USA is that you all take your FOOTBALL VERY SERIOUSLY!!! It is a bit of AMERICANA that only you all can truly know and share in...I was lurking and knew you were all enjoying yourselves!!!
Goodnight to all who have gone to bed Sweet dreams and God Bless.

Hoda said...

Correction from my last post: one of the things I learnt from my years in the USA...

Costume Lady said...

ANDREA...don't know how you did it, but you zoomed right on through, with grades 'to die for'
You are a remarkable lady:)

MARGY, hope you found some time for James, the wise, today.

I'm with you, Judie...seems like the Painters should be liable for their sloppiness.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS

Hoda said...

In the morning I did not blog JO because I had a two hur conversation with Edward, the youngest in my American family.
All is indeed well here and I went to yoga nand then a meeting about the BC SENIORS GAMES. They gave us some fancy Tshirts with logos and tags so we can use free public transportation, the TRAMWAY mostly, to get around the park and not cause traffic congestions. It was a successful meeting.

Lolly said...

Yes, Hoda...and they do not know any better...cheering for the Skins? Really? Definitely a Cowboy fan here! LOL

Looks like Paula is in for a nice weekend. Yea!

We are up early in the morning to get out and mow. Then a few things to do before heading to Denton. Will attempt to get a video to post.

Sunday we have church but not doing anything else that day with the boys. Then will take it one day at a time.

Heading to bed! Night all! Sweet dreams!

Hoda said...

I am staying out of it Lolly!!! but I will educate myself and find out where the teams are from!!!LOL Google is a good tool for that. I know the Cowboys are from TEXAS and the STEELERS are from PENNSYLVANIA...The Red Skins are from...????LOL...

magpie said...

I'm home safe and sound...

What a dear family you have, and I am grateful and blessed to have met, just about all of them

Best wishes to Hunter and Dustin both in their football endeavors Saturday

and what neat avatar of Patrick that Jo put up, with the Redskin Gals ☺

Hoda said...

magpie said...

Yes, call in those six hours of work from son in law's brother !

Hoda said...

Welcome home MARGY, I am glad yu had a good visit with JAMES. Goodnight and sleep tight, sweet dreams.

hedgie said...

There's Hiding Hoda!!! Staying out of the way of the flying footballs! Poor Hoda---it's only the beginning.....first 4 games are only pre-season and don't count!! Things start getting really heavy in Sept.!!! And don't mind Lolly---she's just obsessed with a delusion!!
Glad your meeting went well.

LOL, Wanda---did Jayden want to nap with GG?? That is so cute---I talk---and then gibberish!! Did Denise have anything special to say?? Anymore beach parties with the locals??

Goodnight, Wanda and Lolly!

magpie said...

Loved Sharon's post about Andrew saying
"Bye Bye Big Water" when he left the Spit ☺

going to sneak a peek at the sky for meteors, then again before sunrise if I can

Best wishes to all for Sweet and Restorative Sleep....

Mema Jo said...

Closing up shop now that all are in
the Nest. ♥

hedgie said...

HOda....the Redskins headquarters are actually in Ashburn VA---close to Dulles Internat'l. Airport!!! But they ARE Washington's team!!!!!

Hi, Margy!!!!! You must be dead tired...please go to bed!!!! Glad you are safe home!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Howdy to whoever's left on here! Took me FOREVER to catch up tonight.
Will try to make a long story short:

Lynn, hope your SIL's bro can do the cleanup & earn his pay!

So sorry to hear of the euthanized eagle. At least they tried hard to save it!

Have a great long weekend, Paula & Nick!

Diann, have been saying travel prayers for Teresa, Max, and Max's dad. Healing prayers for Max!

Lolly, can't wait for a group picture!

JudyE, prayers & (((hugs))) for Chelsea & her husband...SO sorry! Also, prayers for Jordyn! That cough needs to scram!

Travel prayers for Lynne2 & Steve, too. Have a nice visit!

Linda, (((HUGS))) & love!

magpie said...

I'm actually kind of wide awake, Lynn
energized by the James the Wise, and a couple of "Seniors Coffees" from McDs earlier...

sky is filled with gauzy clouds, cannot even see Perseus itself, few open spots, but the clouds ARE pretty, illuminated by Mr. Moon

going for some shut-eye, Saturday is my Friday...should be okay for the day, with more coffee!

'Nighty-Night all...
xox ♥

hedgie said...

Good night, Jo, Hoda, Margy. Restful sleep for all, I pray.

Hoda--no need to run! We may sound rabid, but it's all in good fun! Just wait til Jack chimes in with jabs at me!!! I do believe, tho', that we have more Skins fans here than Cowpokes fans! Oh, and yes, our stadium IS in MD. We cover the whole metro area!!

Calling it a day---prayers for all!
See you in the morning!

Ms Bookworm said...

Shirley, praying there won't be smoke in the air for Hunter's game. If there IS, hope they postpone the game until a later date.

Loretta, prayers continue for Danny & Jeanne. So happy he's in a private room, and she can stay there with him!

Kay, last I've heard is that Marq is still feeling really SORE. Will call him tomorrow for the latest report.
Thanks for asking!

OMG, Shirley! The 'Skins won?! Marq will be THRILLED!

Judie, congrats for your team's win! Thanks for the night light, too.

Lynn, sorry about your now non-functioning Redskins mug! Gotta admit that was a pretty good battery, though! I want one of them for our DirecTV remote!

Good to see you tonight, Hoda! Sweet dreams for you, too!

Wanda, thank you! I know how my graduation happened: by the power of Momster/Dadster school prayers, and by the Grace of God! (I sure couldn't do it by myself!)

Hi, Margy! Good to see you tonight!
Glad you and James had a good time. Sweet dreams as you dent the pillows!

hedgie said...

P.S. Nite-nite, Andy the Graduate!!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, think I will call it a night here at this roost. Been busy all day, and need to rest my foot. It's looking better tonight, by the way. Thank God! It was just HUGE this morning! Not hurting much tonight, either, and I did major grossery shopping this afternoon and early evening! Hoping it is finally on the mend!

Prayers have been said for everyone, and all our critters. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both the security systems. Hoping that everyone gets a restful sleep tonight. God bless, and goodnight!
Love all of you! :o]
