They don't like it when I go for two weeks notice its two week plus two days I plan on doing my Christmas lights when I get back from NC on vacation I'll need a vacation from my vacation I plan on leaving on the 13 arriving 14 too old to drive in one day stay 5 days leave on Sat arrive home Sun and the have a week to recoup from vacation and put up Christmas lights I didn't get them up this year So I think doing it then is smart
Well I'm back You didn't know I was gone did you I had to close out all the IE and restart for some reason that one window was being a pain so I just restarted and now all is fine DID THEY SHOW UP PROBABLY NOT HUH I see no bold typing
You go for it Judy! Love that 2 weeks + 2 days for good measure!
Gosh, around DC, if you put up lights too early, or leave them up after December 28th, there are people who pitch fits! Should they still be up on January 1, that is a H_LL raising offense. Of course, the closer you get to where I live, I'm a grinch because I don't put them up!
Ok I am stepping away to finish getting ready for work and relax on the chair before work I hope each and everyone one of you out there have a great day "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
I plan on putting the lights up but not turning on till almost Thanksgiving I really overdo my yard as well as lots of other peeps Have you looked at my Christmas Light Blog I have picture of my house on it
That should have been BURN my lights not butn my lights Ok off the work I go and I plan on getting my drivers licence today I got my marriage licence in the mail so now I can get it
Sure enjoyed reading all the late night early morning buzz.. yes, sounds like Shirley learned a LOT about football equipment UNDER ARMOUR AND JOCK STRAPS OH MY !
Beauty Sleep? Don't think I have ever experienced that I look a fright when I get up ~~ Lori, hope you can regain your lost sleep later on but not when you are driving home
Lolly Praying that "this too shall pass" with Jack, his anxiety and grumpiness....and especially the discomfort, know that it will, because Jack is that kind of guy and YOU are that kind of help-mate xoxo (( HUGS ♥♥)) for you BOTH
Please forgive me, thanks to MARGY's skillful posting habits, I've been reminded how concerned I am about ANDY AND EMMA.
ANDY, please let us know what you find out from the vet. Some boiled rice and chicken might be good for her tummy. But, FB and Dalai had that over the weekend at my parents, I was thinking it was because it was hot, the were excited, etc. Dalai actually started with liquid poo before we left, so I know it wasn't something at my folks. Odd. Please keep me posted. Poor Emma honey.
POOR Shirley. Jock straps! Who knew?
LOLLY, when you find the cure to Jack's grumpiness, please spread the word because I want to make sure my father gets some of it!
Good morning all. Just finished picking my way through the mine field of debris in the driveway. Road itself is pretty messy, too. ARGH! Sure hope Charlie and the girls show up.
Hi, morning birds!!! Of course, two of you are gone to the salt mines...and Lori should be wrapping up her work day soon. Get some sleep, gal! Hope that FloBear and Dalai are feeling better.
Andy, poor Emma---always a little worrisome when a frisky pup has a down day! Thank goodness her vacs are protecting her from many things that she could pick up out in the big wide world of doggy parkdom. Sorry about the drs. "revision" tactics. ARGH!
Shirley....that maple tree will drop the spinners inside the fence whether it is in or out, so I say Yes---keep it inside the fence!!
Had no idea that posting the wine/sunscreen story would start such a riot among us! LOL! Trusting that those who like wine will give it a try. I can't stand the stuff myself!
BTW----someone mentioned my "girls" on their trip to Cancun...it's just Christie and her hubby Shannon. I still haven't heard anything directly from them.
Oh heavens, SHIRLEY is thinking about putting in a Maple tree? Tell her NO! Their roots are so shallow nothing with grow under a Maple. The suck up so much water to grow the soil beneath the tree is continually dry and the roots end up on top of the soil. They are aggressive growers and you'll have to chop it down in 20 years or less if the roots haven't already destroyed the foundation of your house. I don't know how close it will be to your house, Shirley, but I'd only put on on the back 40!
Usually people go into a nursery and ask for a tree that will grow big and tall quickly, so the nursery sells them a maple, but doesn't give any of the negatives about the tree.
E-mail from Linda....they stopped in NC late last night and got about 4 hrs. sleep before hitting the road this AM. It will be late this evening when they get to FL.
Here's the latest on Norfolk Eaglet NX and re-release from the WCV moderated chat:
Ed Clark, WCV: Thanks Cathy.... We try to be honest and open in our answers, but it seems there is never a right way to address things. The reference to schedules was to state that regardless of what happens, NX will be with us for another ten days to two week, as which point, Dr. Dave will personally evaluate her. Dr. Miranda is great and knows a great deal...she handles most clinical duties... but Dr. Dave is the master~! Since he won't be back for ten days or so, we just want everyone to know that this will delay everything until then, regardless of what NX does. It could be longer, if she still acts like a baby, but that is the soonest we can plan a re-release.
Oh, God Bless Linda and family on their journey to Florida. Thanks for the email and keeping us posted LINDA. Thanks to LYNN for posting it!
LINDA, you're in my heart and thoughts, and prayers, of course. I hope you're holding up well and you'll be filled with His grace when you need it most. My love to you and your family.
The tree is already there. It is a mature maple. I am not sure what kind of maple, though, but there are lots of kinds of maple trees. The mature tree is in the far back of my yard.
I know better than to purchase a tree just because it is fast-growing. We had two Bradford pears in the front yard and they both came down in storms. They grew very fast, but were brittle, and were the choice of the builder, not me.
Lordy, we almost got another trash can. We switched trash companies, and the old company is supposed to pick up the can. So far the old company has brought us a recycle can and the new company has brought us both a trash can and a recycle can. No cans have been taken away.
Today, the old company was out delivering new trash cans, but they have not picked up the old one yet. That would have given us three trash cans and two recycle cans.
So relieved Shirley! Bradford Pear trees are so pretty, but I wouldn't have one of those either for the reasons you cited! Glad the maple is way in the back!
Good morning! Jack is still asleep. That pill he took yesterday must still be working. LOL
Laurel just called. They are on their way here, so I have an hour to get ready. Joseph had an orthodontist appointment at 8.
Shirley, we did not allow Michael to play football until 7th grade. Then he played through college. Laurel and Joey are doing the same with the boys. Then Joey will be a PIA to the coaches. Weight lifting ruined his back. Both boys are headed to at least 6'6", so they will be prime candidates, but sure wish they weren't. Joseph loves basketball now and Jacob baseball.
Michael played football at Trinity Univ in San Antonio. His last game we went to he suffered a concussion. Doctor at the hospital told him he should not play professional. We got a laugh at that as there was no way he could play pro. He was not big enough or good enough and had no plans to do so.
Time for me to leave and get ready for the tornado to hit. (Laurel and boys) Going school clothes shopping. They are spending the night so I will not be on much today, but if Jack gets the results, I will certainly get on and share. Appreciate your prayers!
The boys take over the computers when they are here. LOL I should share a picture of Jacob sitting here in my chair with the laptop. Cute!
Feeling very sleepy for Shirley. Sure hope she's been able to catch up a bit this morning. Tulip Poplars are pretty but also fragile like Bradford Pear. How about Crepe Myrtle? Pretty in summer.
Thank you, Lori for mentioning National Night Out. Lots of really good food. One nice thing about our community, never seen store-bought food at a pot luck.
Hope Luna's eye appointment is routine and not because of additional problems.
Andy, sorry about the transcription mess. Maybe that's a sign you need to establish some ground rules for what is required BEFORE you do the work. Hope Emma is feeling better.
Lolly, glad Jack is getting some extra rest. May the grumpiness be gone.
Continued safe travel for Linda and Dennis.
Off to do boring tasks inside so won't be using sun screen today. BBL
GOOD MORNING... No sightings for a while of Belle and Beau. I guess it is just too darn hot...they may have moved farther north:) It will be very interesting to see what this pair does, come December...looking forward to a productive, new season...oh, the joy of having 3 chicklets! The canopy of leaves will be gone by November and, if left alone, will provide shelter from the sun for our babies when it gets hot again...but, then again, we may not be able to see them. It will be interesting to see what NCTC does about the leaves, if anything.
Charlie and the girls plus a little friend (ha--little meaning in size; she's Jenn's age!) are here and cleaning up. But....Charlie can't get his leaf blower started. ARGH!
Glad Paula's foot isn't incapacitating her...plenty of rest for it, Paula~
JOCK STRAPS? Don't know much about protecting the family jewels...having a part in raising 3 girls, I just know about bras and bikinis and nail polish:) Dustin, also, was fitted with his football gear, over the weekend. I guess Karla has learned more than she ever wanted to know about body parts protection:) Dustin had his first practice, yesterday...from 8am til 3pm...too hot and I am so fearful of his well being. I guess his heart problem from his Lymes disease has gone away, because he passed his physical. I haven't heard anything about his day, so, I guess it wasn't so bad.
Lolly, I have the school clothes shopping ordeal coming up in another week. I think I may just give Carolyn my card and let them go without me! Kids are getting harder and harder to buy for---too finicky now!!
Shirley, SO glad I've never had to deal with boys!! Armor cups and jock straps---oh my!!!
Girls are SO much easier! And I was able to thrill them--or at least Carolyn since I haven't heard back from Christie--to share the wonderful news that their oh-so-expensive out-of-pocket costs for their 5 yrs. contraceptive inplant IS covered 100% by the new ruling!
Good Morning Friends... I have read our morning comments - sounds like everyone is up/running. My daughter is with me so I won't be on for any length of time
Lynn - so thankful Linda has gotten in touch with you - God speed their travels
Hello to Jo, also. Have a fun day. Any special plans? Lunch?
Wanda, I'm certain Dustin will be just fine. Passing the physical is a big step and he should know if he starts to feel any negative effects of practice. I do, however, feel too much physical exertion in extreme heat is unnecessary for young people.
Lynn, hope the debris disappears in spite of the contrary leaf blower. I'm with you. Give them the card and wish them fun. Don't enjoy shopping and have found online is very successful.
Sounds as if Shirley might need some sun screen to go along with the jock strap.
LORI I got to ask how does a eagle act like a baby Me sittin here scratching head trying to figure it out. On face book they said the other eagle will be realeased on the 4th "Eagle release on Thursday August 4th! The young Maryland eagle will be released at Mason Neck State Park on August 4th at 11:00 am. Please see the website for details! Eagle release on Thursday August 4th!!
I clicked on the link to Linda brother and signed the guest book I love it that they have that My best friend when she died her's is still active I go to it every know and then I sure do miss her
Hi ! Sneaking in again just in time to say Good Morning !
Enjoyed sleeping in, but see that I missed some nice chatter betwixt the Early Birds, LORI, JUDY, MARGY and THELMA. Sorry about the no-shows Belle and Truder, maybe later.
SHIRLEY, I share your concern about the debt ceiling debate and vote. Gabby undoubtedly surprised some of her Southern AZ constituents with her "yes" vote. She said the process had sickened her and she felt it time to rise above partisanship and get the job done, or at least started. What a great lady and this is proof that she will be able to return to full service someday soon.
LYNN, thanks for the link to Billy's obituaray and guest book. Praying for Linda and Dennis as they complete the journey. Glad Charlie and the girls showed up and hope he gets that leaf blower going !
PAULA, happy to hear you're mobile ! Keep that leg elevated as much as possible.
Re: Ed's comments about NZ. It would seem all eagles are not born with equal intelligence. He says her release will hinge in part on her maturity, and won't occur until she no longer "acts like a baby". Aw, I love the "little" girl myself !
Well better get back to work doing good this week haven't punched in late for lunch yet Atleasst I come back HaHa sometime that is the hardest is to go back BBL HAGD again
Hi JUDY, The release and Kay explain it well. They determined from her (NX) behavior after the release that she hadn't fully developed the skills she would need to survive in the wild...so he called it acting like a baby. Literally she was "cheaping" like a much younger eaglet when they found her and she did not try to fly away from people, thus behaving more like a younger eaglet instead of one fledging with good insticts and confidence. I hope that makes sense.
Hellllooooo KAY! ((BIG HUG)) I've missed you, but I know you crave to be a night owl again. Maybe you can stay up really late once in a while and we can chat at 1:30! LOL
Thought, prayers, everything just thinking about Linda today. What a difficult time. Thanks you LYNN for passing on the links for Billy's information.
The eagle to be released at Mason Neck (where Shirley and Judie met for an earlier release!!) was found at Ft. Washington, MD--near where Loretta lives. Mason Neck is still near the Potomac....just along the Virginia side. I, too, laughed at Ed's calling NZ a baby! A spoiled rotten brat may be part of that assessment!! But she IS missing that feather, so......will give her the benefit of the doubt that it's a physical inhibition and not a maturity one!
A quick good morning/good afternoon to you all. Running a bit late today, but "its all good" like they say.
JUDYE The Visitor was not a scary movie, someone learning how to drum and a love story.
Thoughts with LINDA and her travels.
LYNN maybe they will return next weekend since they have a day job and maybe they just assumed that they already established a pattern. I, like you, would have prefered that they cfommunicate better than they did. I do not think they abandoned the project, just poor communicators.
PAULA so glad your foot is better and that you were able to go to work, that means you are mobile...
LOLLY Great that LAUREL and kids are there and thank yoiu for taking computer time from the Grandkids to update us on Jack's results.
Hello Everybody! Hope all are having a better day today----No Tube Riding, No twisted limbs, etc. News Flash----got call today re: expected move from Chelsea----premature!!!!A top boss deciding this did not take into account that there is NO room for all our equipment in the other Shop!! So, an enlargement would have to be built or down the line after more moving/merging of others, Both exhibit shops may get space together at Watkins Regional Park next door to Chelsea!!! YAY! We can all breath now. Thank you for letting me vent. I know I always get rational feedback from every one here!!!!♥♥♥
Good news, Loretta. Just make sure Maxine stays close by just in case.
Lynn, sorry about the SB. Hope that is the only one or one of a very very few. Maybe a call to the workers? When are you returning?
Hi Hoda! Happy yogaing.
Jo, keep your feet up as long as you can in case you need to capture meatballs that start coming over the mountain.
Glad the ankle is functional, Paula. Take things slowly, please.
Fun visit this afternoon. Police officer was sitting near our driveway waiting for stop-sign-runners. Always invite them in for bathroom, water, etc. Holidays I take fresh-baked cookies out. She came in and spent a little time with us. Nice lady.
Power went out again....20 mins. this time. Phone, too. NO STORMS! Guess maybe they were working on lines somewhere. Whew! Amazing how much the house heated up in that short amount of time. 93° now.
Thinking and praying for Linda as they make the final part of the drive.
JudyE since I went to Colorado and we ate at Penera Bread. I really like that place.
Lynne2 I am glad the car had that warranty. It does sound like they are trying to fix it.
Wanda we got the storm that Lynn got. The trees were bending over. It poured down here.
So glad Bill's daughter and kids didn't get hit by the falling glass. Hope Bill can fix that for her.
Yes my Mother said she was watching the news and Gabby Gifford did voted yes on the Debt Reduction bill. The lady is really a wonderful lady. Her husband is right by her side.
Mema Jo I do remember the horse on the bark of the tree. Although I can't find the bobblehead doggie they are talking about.
Glad that Jack's MRI is over. Now praying for the crown work. Prayers for results of the MRI. Let us know as soon as you find out something Lolly.
Andy to me that about the font is the doctors fault. Hoping Emma checks out ok.
Lynn I am surprised you haven't heard from Shannon or Christie yet???????
Loretta so glad all turned out in your favor for staying put.
Still having some 'puter trouble but able to read comments.
Loretta, YAY! Just keep Maxine on commission if you need her.
Judie, you didn't give the officer any meatballs? Have a good time tonight.
Lynn, is there a problem with your electic since the storm? Hope you hear from your daughter & SIL soon. I would have been terrified to be in Castro country.
Lori, sorry I miss the morning crew and hope you're getting some much needed rest.
SHirley, you were (maybe) lucky to have girls. Had 3 boys, two in sports, and 1 girl in sports. Whew, sure glad those days are over. I found the boys much easier to raise. Not sure why that is, but I've heard the same from other parents/grandparents.
Prayers for Linda & Dennis in their travel and prayers for Linda to be strong for her family.
JudyE, October is best month of the year to me. Maybe that's why I got married in October.
Margy, Tbird and Buddy, sorry I missed you this morning. ((hugs))
Kay, if you become a nightowl, you just may see me there more often than morning.
Paula, glad your foot/ankle is better today and agree with Lynn. Don't reinjure. Walk gingerly.
Lolly, awaiting the good news about Jack's MRI. Have fun with Laurel and the "boys."
Think I remembered everyone. I'm testing my memory today. It often leaves me stranded.
If I forgot anyone, my apology. You know I love you all.
P.S. Shirley. We have a very large Silver Maple tree in our backyard that must be over 50 yo.
I can attest to the root system being on top and everywhere, which is probably why my yard and gardens aren't doing well. Roots sticking up everywhere. Aarrgghh!
Hi, Everyone, Dropping in to let you know that Emma is trying to make a liar of me. The vet needs a FRESH sample of her poop to test for whatever's bothering her. Took her out to go just now, and this is the first time in 2 weeks that she has NOT had sloppy poop! She still had to be coaxed to eat this morning, and she just has a sad look in her eyes, like she doesn't feel good, though. Our vet appt. is at 3:40 pm Pacific time. Right now, she's trying to coax me to play tug-of-war with her, so she can't feel too bad. I think it was Lori who mentioned feeding her chicken and rice. Her regular food is Blue Buffalo kibble for puppies--chicken and brown rice! Will definitely keep you posted about her. Maybe the heat has something to do with it--it's 89 degrees out, and about 85 in our kitchen right now. Still a bit humid, but not as bad as yesterday was.
Paula, I'm glad you're able to get around well enough to go to work. Hope the improvement continues!
Judie, that's nice of you to invite the officer in for a drink of water and a potty break. Lots of times I think people forget that police officers are human beings, too!
Have really been enjoying listening to WASH-FM! I like their mix of soft rock music.
Well, not really caught up completely on here, but Emma wants her "Mom" to play. How can I say no? Will check back in later. :o]
LYNN Many Canacians travel to Cuba on holidays. They find the Cubans friendly and their country provides an affordable holiday. I know that the US does not permit its citizens to travel to Cuba and this is probably why you worried.I am sure they would have been concerned too but I think it probably was not as a dangerous situation as worry makes it be, after all the plane was able to land safely and they were able to airlift them out of there without any mishaps...
Hmmm...I wonder if Cubans threat Canacians differently than they treat Canadians? Hi Hoda!
Andy, glad Emma seems to be feeling better. Please keep us posted as we really like her.
No, no meatballs for the lady officer. Was afraid I might not have enough left over to roll some over the mountain to Jo. Not a corner lot but we offer a good "hiding" place where stop sign runners can't see the cruiser until "oh, crap!" People do forget officers need hydration and toilets. Female officers have to be a lot more careful about unbuckling the gun belt. Males, not so much a problem.
Shirley, how about Leland Cypress tree(s). Lovely all year and especially when it snows.
Okay, need to get ready to take my meatballs to the party. BBL
Lynn, thanks for post the link to Bill's obit and guestbook.
Emma must be on the way to the vet, and I pray she is just not dealing with the heat too well and it's not anything more serious!
Crepe Myrtle Shirley! Or...if you want the evergreen look, rather than Leeland Cypress, get a Green Giant Aborvitae. Very similar in appearance. It's hardy, fast growing, very disease resistant. They get to be pretty tall, about 50 feet, but you can keep them trimmed. 10 foot or more width when mature....here:
Of course, there is always the gorgeous Redbud tree! For butterfly attraction, you could get a Mimosa. And of course, there is always the Dogwood! (I am now living vicariously through you in this matter!)
Great news! I haven't mowed the yard or even watered since the yellow jacket attack - 7 stings - and the new bee guy just left after successfully taking a "big, good size" underground nest out from under a juniper bush. I even took pictures to celebrate that they're gone! He also sprayed the flowers around the deck and looked elsewhere for them and found nothing.
I was showing him where I was standing when I first was stung last week and he quickly said he saw it. Next thing I know he's in his bee suit and bringing it out.
Highly recommend this guy. The termite/pest control people have been out twice to get the nest and nothing!
YAY! Somebody put on the Pointer Sisters "I'm So Excited!"
hi Lori! The Saturn is all fixed and the Mazda's parts will hopefully be in tomorrow. I am off and hope to be able to take it down for what will hopefully be the last time! Not too encouraged by the fact that Steve tried to call them today and got no answer....
This morning I read on the blog about "NX acting like a baby" and the comment was made as to what that would be. On the blog from the WCV site, they talked about her calls are that of a less mature eagle and that is what was meant. She does not call like her age group would require.
Hoping that JUDIE is having a great National Night Out neighborhood party and that even Frank is enjoying the meatballs! If you send them over the hill to JO's, would you mind detouring a few this way? Not a big meat eater, but I love meatballs!
PAULA, I know I've got the Pointer Sisters blaring for my YJ celebration, but no dancing for you! I hope the ankle is feeling better. Listen to Dr. HEDGIE!
DI, I've missed you in the morning. How did the three cats make out at the vet? My three babies are so adorable. Boys will be getting "tutored" (neutered) next week. Little girl, Andy, is more skiddish and no rush with her.
ANDY, what's the latest on EMMA from your 3:40 appt? It should be any minute now. Hope it's just the heat. My last bully, Maffie, used to get stomach bugs like giardia (sp?) and something else. A poo sample will show that.
LINDA, Thinking about you and hope you're doing as well as can be expected after a long drive like that and the shock of all you've been through lately.
I am up and ready to catch those rolling meatballs - I am fearful that the crowd of neighbors that heard the radio program will be immense and that all meatballs will be gone! That's ok - it's for a good cause.
We have finished dinner and it's feels good outside.
I was reading the WCV blog about NX, too. Pretty fascinating. So glad she's returned to flight school if it's not time for her to be out yet.
May we send some humidity your way today? Storms here tomorrow should give a break in the heat and maybe bring the eagles back to the nest? We can hope, right?
Just got home this was on facebook Not forsure if anyone brought it over being I just got home
.Wildlife Center of Virginia The Wildlife Center admitted another Bald Eagle yesterday -- the 23rd Bald Eagle admitted this year. This bird is from Brunswick County and had a fishing line and hook entangled around one of its feet -- so that it couldn't even open its right foot. Check out the link for the full story and photos.
I got my driver license today When I got there I could see that the lady was one that could take a joke and I said I had been there before and got an extension and now I was ready for the stool sample she busted out laughing and said that will probably be the next step LOL I ask her how some people can go on line and renew no prob like my daughter and she said that eventually everyone will have to provide all the info like I did that it is sort of a lottery that sends out the card like I got in the mail telling me to come in to get it so now I feel better One good thing with going down now in the computer they ask for a er contact phone in case I am unable to talk in an accident I think that is pretty cool When I walked in I was given a # didn't even get a chance to walk to the sitting area and was called right away in and out in no time This is a newer office that is so efficient I loved it and my picture turned out smile and all and I was told to smile Not so many comments to read to day what happen???? LOL Ok I am going to run to Kmart to see if I can find some new shirts I went to Target and only found one darn it BBL
I'm only a little confused here Lynne2. I thought you traded the Saturn in for the Mazda. Is that correct???' So did they pay to have the Saturn fixed or did you and Steve? When the parts come for the Mazda whose car is that and who is paying for it to be fixed?
Lori so glad that man found and got rid of the yellow jacket nest!!!!
Hoda you are a hoot LOL - your Canacians story.
Thanks Hoda for information on NX.
JudyE thanks for putting the EAGLE link up. It looks like with some rest and food the eagle should be able to be released at some point.
Delivered Hunter to football practice and waited there until Kathryn arrived. Came back and scanned over as many posts as I could. Now the dogs are barking to be let back in.
LYNN We are known as The Snow Birds!!! Many Canadians head to destinations south once it starts getting really cold here...NC is one of the favourite places, so is Nevada and areas around the southern part of California...for a while there were some restrictions on Cuba but not any more, has not been for decades now...I wrote because I wanted you to not worry about your daughter and hubby.
Dana, we sold Steve's truck to downgrade and bought the Mazda, and then had the Saturn (our other car) fix ups done. The truck had become to expensive for us to maintain and gas mileage was pretty low.
LORI I am not sure about the humididty gift you are offering...LOL!!!Don't tell anyone but we are supposed to have a whole week of sunshine and no clouds and no rain...SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Don't tell anyone though!!!! If you send humidity that will mean there could be chances it would rain and I think sometimes it rains so much here I start checking for mold!!!
Thanks Hoda for that link....is fascinating, good that someone who found it knew to report it. Emotional for the survivors, though, I think. That was so sad when that happened. I was at work with my best astro-fan co-worker.
Bravo on getting that driver's license Judy You posted a good LOL, about the extra sample you offered, nice you got good service and some good belly lauaghs while there xo
LOL, doggie is listening to command to sit still, Margy!
Speaking of dogs, who started the runny poop thing? Nick has it now...he went in the basement last night, but I attributed that to my falling asleep early and him not going out for a last "out". So now there is more this evening!
Boy, foot feels much better without that darn wrap on it! Will ice tonight just to be sure...
Shirley I got two free redbud trees in the spring. They were sticks, literally. I planted them, they are thriving in pots now with lots of heart-shaped leaves. Maybe I should try to get one to you, with transplanting instructions
all this talk of meatballs now I want some but I want some good Swedish ones
I scored big time at Kmart got 6 nice blue tops I usually go to Ross, Burdines, Kohl's and the mall but didn't want to venture there so glad I did Kmart got 4 on clearance that was even better Got Jordyn a couple of nice PJ's on clearance also half price
HODA Our area gets lots of tourist from Canada I love their accents I love all accents I should say Hey do you have the canadian accent yet??
it's a lot of fun to buy clothes for wee ones Judy Sounds great
righto about the Eastern Canadians going to Florida for the winter, Paula... You can watch all the license plates going up and down the coast, in October South, and in May, North ☺
Aha I see the man now! It was JudyE comment that he looked like Lincoln! He is facing a different direction than I thought...I thought he was looking into the nest, he's not, he's looking into the bottom right corner!
You know the funny part is we have to wear blue but Walmart hardly has any and of course I always make a point tell them I bought else where and when they say something I say we have no choices only t shirts and not to many nice tops
The Moon Could be visible as a baby teeny tiny sliver tonight if skies are clear, West... (cloud cover here in Martinsburg) maybe we will see it Wednesday night Will be full on Aug 13
looks like sun is going down so much earlier now light is fading form nest already I was so hoping for a visit tonight COME ON EAGLES shake the camera let us know you are still there
YES of course The Smow BIrds go to Florida!!! Right on JUDYE.
My accent is not a Canadian accent as I imagine it to be...there is a French Canadian accent and sometimes people say thoy thought I had it, I think I would like to have an English Canadian accent but know that I do not...LOL. I was taught English by the Scottish Nuns...I do not sound like them I do not think either!!!I sound like me...
I am off to go Dragon Boat Paddling. BBL Stay well all.
I see Canadian plates on I-81 ALL the time---doesn't seem to matter what time of year it is!! And a lot of them have big RV's! Sure I've told you that some some of my Scottish ancestor first settled in Canada before moving to Iowa.
I think you're all hallucinating ! I can't see a man, a Lincoln, a dog, a anything in the nest. :(
LYNN, too bad the painters can't communicate. They must not be in any hurry for their $ !
LORI, so glad the B guy got rid of the YJ nest ! Hated to think of you running into them again.
JUDY, thanks for another great story of an eagle rescue. They sure do face a lot of man made hazards out there in the wild. Looks like he/she is about the same age as Truder.
HODA, LOL those Canacians ! They've slipped right in under the radar.
An ex-sil loves all things Latin and has vacationed all over South and Central America. He has been to Cuba numerous times over the last 15years or so. He goes from MI to Toronto and on to Cuba. Apparently as long as you arrive on an Air Canada flight you're in like Flynn.
Hmmm...must really be going around: Liesl has had a lot of very soft poos today, too. Maybe it IS the heat. She hasn't been too playful, but I attributed that to the fact that she was so excited seeing the girls this morning and they loved all over her and played with her a good bit.
KAY I didn't see him at first until I a day or so ago He is looking down it is a profile of him his eyes is dark and looks like he has a beard he is looking at the bottom of the frame
An Adonis, a gingerbread man ? Are you all trying to drive me nuts ? Too late, I'm already there !
LOLLY many not be in touch til' late, or tomorrow. I think it was uncertain whether or not the results of Monday's MRI would be in today or tomorrow. Today he was having dental work, a crown, I believe. She's been shopping with Laurel and the boys today and figured she'd have to share her puter with at least one of the "J"'s all evening.
I saw the bobblehead dog, but don't see the man. Still reveling in the victory over YJ's! Time for bed.
Hope all went well for Emma and Jack today...and for Lynne and her car.
JUDIE, I know you and Frank had a great evening. Bless you for being such leaders in your community. Any meatballs left?
Of course, still thinking and praying for LINDA. It'll be so nice for her to check in and know we're here and thinking about her. Love you all! Yes, the sandman has arrived.....
That snowflake crystal avatar is really refreshing Lynne! I was thinking, what a naturalist you are! Really enjoyed all the "buttermoths" on your pictures and the identifications of them the pink and yellow one, oooh, a beauty buttermoths, that's an easy way for me to include the butterflies and the moths
At the beginning of her treatment, Luna was on four kinds of eye drops and two kinds of pills. She is now on just one kind of eye drop, and it is not the expensive ones.
At one time, the emergency drops she was on cost about $90 for an ounce or two. They are now generic and something like $19 for the same amount.
Thinking of dear Linda and Dennis...a difficult journey, long drive, short sleep.. Prayers, and BIGGER PRAYERS FOR divine inspiration and guidance and strength and comfort in the days to come ((( HUGS ♥ ♥ )) Linda and Dennis xoxo
bought James a pillow he has been hankering for, a "Memory Pillow" like one I have here, actually got two for one price... going to use the extra one here might improve my memory also got him some new sheets a little before-school shopping clothes will come along later on
Kay When you can discern the handsome bearded man, like a wood carving... I think you will like him some times it is easier to see him than others He is Shy
MARGY, thanks for the encouragement on finding "the man". I've always been good at finding animals, people, objects in clouds. Can also find such things in the tile walls and flooring here in the bath and kitchen. So, it's frustrating not to be able to see what you're all talking about !
Lynn sounds like a good visit today from Charlie and the Girls Sounds like Liesel got her lovin' and you got some help with the debris YaY I had a big one hour with Caro at work today, our schedules rarely intersect anymore :( WAH !
Hi everyone. I think someone, Lynn?, said meatballs probably already gone at 7:02pm. Well, they were all gone by then. Sorry there are none to lob over to Frederick, Middletown, Hedgesville or up to the Canacians.
It was a terrific turn out ~160 people. Police helicopter buzzed us twice, police chief, lots of officers, two sheriffs, and several politicians. Also had lots of humidity. Oh, and no competing radio station, tee hee.
Well I couldn't figure out the gingerbread man either myself Kay! I picked out the wrong doggy bobblehead at first lat night maybe there were two! The bearded man looks like a prophet or apostle in a way also...
But you ain't got nuthin' to be sorry about, Honey
Kay, it's one of those things that you really do have to figure out yourself! I have been driven nearly nuts trying to see other people's interpretations of designs in my two log homes.....and have probably done turnabout on others, too!! It's your OWN imagination, not someone else's! Don't mind us...just take a peek now and then when the leaves are blowing, and I bet you will make the man out for yurself...just as I did!!
MARGY, what a great grandparent you are ! Memory pillow for James the Wise, how nice. I'd buy one or two if I thought there was any hope for my memory problems ! ;o)
JUDY, your vacation plans sound marvy ! Glad you found your shirts and such bargains at Kmart. I haven't been in one of their stores since leaving AZ. Target is just a stones throw away and it's where I head for that kind of shopping.
JUDIE, we're all waiting with bated, or is it baited, breath to hear about the evening. Need to know how the meatballs went over this year !
SHIRLEY, yikes that was a hefty price for eye drops. My NJ granddog, a Shepadoodle, has to have eyedrops daily, wonder if his cost that much !
JUDIE, ask and ye shall receive ! We were posting about the same time. So happy to hear the evening was a huge success and that the meatballs were a big hit ! You've both worked so hard on that and I know you're feeling relieved and well satisfied now !
Judie I'm sitting here thinking I messed up... was there WASH-FM live coverage of the event? Because I did not have the radio on :( But I HOPE there WAS live coverage...
Lori, so glad that the YJ's are gone!! SIL said they were swarming around his truck here this morning....he had pulled up into the woods---bet he stirred up an under-leaf nest. He found a big wasps nest at their house yesterday----when they got swarmed while in the pool! He took care of them with two attacks on the nest!
Okay there Kay oh dear, now I am seeing something... your beautiful yellow flower kind of looks like it is, smiling, but also like it is sticking its tongue out at us LOL
Judie, sounds like lots of fun! Did you have musical entertainment? Now you can relax a bit before classes start!
Kay, we got a Target a couple of years ago---first trip in they had BURNED the Starbucks coffee.....and I could not get that smell out of my nose for a couple of days---awful! I've only been back once!
Almost time for HawthoRNe....heading for sofa! BBL.
No Margy. Not live coverage. What I was referring to is a radio station that contacted Darth last week and wanted to be there tonight. Contacted Lori via Lynn. So Lori had the scoop. Yippee! Other station didn't show up.
Very glad Lori's YJ have been cleared out. Lynn, hope yours are also. Please be careful you two.
Good grief, the dogs in the neighborhood are going bananas. There must be some deer or raccoons moving through. Or...maybe an Echanacian space ship has arrived and Canacians are invading. Watch the 11 o'clock news ! I may have nightmares tonight.
You all have a good night with sweet dreams and I'll "see" you tomorrow.
I just thought of something...but the thought came too late...we could have put together a road trip to Judie and Frank's block party. Wouldn't' that have been a blast? Wonder if Judie took any photos. If you haven't noticed it yet, I am a photo nut...love all photos. I look at photos on face-book nearly every night...sometimes for hours! Margy & Lynn, on face book, there are some wonderful photos of "Q" and Brandon at Ocracoke. "Q" caught a 5 ft Shark. He was quite excited:)
Comcast is a whole lot better than Frontier...they were driving me crazy! Forgot...you don't do facebook, I'll post some of "Q"'s great catch on my blog, later. Check it out tomorrow♥
Well I saw the adult eagle off the shore when we were doing our warm up exercises and was she putting on a performance, Large wing span 12 foot from tip to tip is what I thought.Oh circled and came looking for fish went up high and tried again...then flew to a distance...neddles to say I was not too focused on the exercises and we all laughed about it.
It was a good paddle, warm and with a bit of a breeze to make it pleasant.
I now have to catch up to the blog...and prepare a salad for my supper.I am having a cold lime drink with ice...cooling...
Just stopping by to say hello. Am thinking of Linda on her long drive. Paula, I hope you take care of your ankle. I know it is hard when you have so much to do. Lynn, i hope they come back and finish your home soon. And Jack, I am hoping for only good results from your MRI. For all the injured and rescued birds, may they heal and be released quickly. For all others that I have missed, believe me when I say that I think of you guys oftern and lurk in the backgrounf trying to keep up! Please stay as cool as possible.
I think I need to look at the nest and see if I can still see that man myself.
Have been in and out of the blog as much as possible. I did take a couple of naps today. I hope that does not mean that I can't sleep tonight.
Lolly, I remember what you said about Michael and football. We did not really think we wanted Hunter to play football at such a young age, either. But he wanted to.
Funny thing is that he was inspired by his Uncle Rus who never played a game of football in his life. Rus enjoys professional football and he passed the interest on to Hunter.
Hunter has the same coach for baseball and football, and he seems to be really good with the boys.
Having an athlete in the family is a new experience for us. My children were more interested in drama. They played soccer a little while and we did a little bit with the swim team.
Tom (Hunter's Dad) played the clarinet in the marching band, though he is a big, strong guy. His father would not allow him to play sports because his older brother got hurt wrestling.
Judie, so glad that your event was a success. But I was hoping to see some meatballs rolling up the highway.
Luna's eye doctor is impressive. She has worked at the White House . . . I think maybe she took care of a Bush dog, maybe.
My parents would be very happy to see Hunter enjoying sports. However, their game was basketball, and Hunter did not enjoy his basketball experience particularly.
Maybe I will get one of those basketball goals. I kind of like shooting baskets myself. But, no, I was not an athlete.

No the cruise is in April
I go every year to see June and Terry in NC and I go in OCT to see the fall colors
Well I'm back You didn't know I was gone did you I had to close out all the IE and restart for some reason that one window was being a pain so I just restarted and now all is fine DID THEY SHOW UP PROBABLY NOT HUH I see no bold typing
Odd I had to sign back in to google with that last comment I wonder if it had anything to do with my puter being locked in that one ie window
You go for it Judy! Love that 2 weeks + 2 days for good measure!
Gosh, around DC, if you put up lights too early, or leave them up after December 28th, there are people who pitch fits! Should they still be up on January 1, that is a H_LL raising offense. Of course, the closer you get to where I live, I'm a grinch because I don't put them up!
Ok I am stepping away to finish getting ready for work and relax on the chair before work I hope each and everyone one of you out there have a great day
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
I plan on putting the lights up but not turning on till almost Thanksgiving I really overdo my yard as well as lots of other peeps

Best Wishes for a Good, Safe, Healthy and Joyful Day
xoxo ♥
Please forgive me, thanks to MARGY's skillful posting habits, I've been reminded how concerned I am about ANDY AND EMMA.
ANDY, please let us know what you find out from the vet. Some boiled rice and chicken might be good for her tummy. But, FB and Dalai had that over the weekend at my parents, I was thinking it was because it was hot, the were excited, etc. Dalai actually started with liquid poo before we left, so I know it wasn't something at my folks. Odd. Please keep me posted. Poor Emma honey.
POOR Shirley. Jock straps! Who knew?
LOLLY, when you find the cure to Jack's grumpiness, please spread the word because I want to make sure my father gets some of it!
Funeral home info for Linda's brother Billy
Newspaper only had a one sentence obit, but there is a brief one on the funeral home page.
I love you, MARGY, and you too THELMA! Thanks for being here this morning and perking up the place post JudyE who had to leave for work. ♥ ♥
Good morning all.
Just finished picking my way through the mine field of debris in the driveway. Road itself is pretty messy, too. ARGH! Sure hope Charlie and the girls show up.
From obit, Linda was the only girl among 5 brothers! WOW! Bet she never lacked for protection!!
Thank you Lori and good morning Hedgie.
Hi, morning birds!!! Of course, two of you are gone to the salt mines...and Lori should be wrapping up her work day soon. Get some sleep, gal!
Hope that FloBear and Dalai are feeling better.
Andy, poor Emma---always a little worrisome when a frisky pup has a down day! Thank goodness her vacs are protecting her from many things that she could pick up out in the big wide world of doggy parkdom.
Sorry about the drs. "revision" tactics. ARGH!
Shirley....that maple tree will drop the spinners inside the fence whether it is in or out, so I say Yes---keep it inside the fence!!
Had no idea that posting the wine/sunscreen story would start such a riot among us! LOL! Trusting that those who like wine will give it a try. I can't stand the stuff myself!
BTW----someone mentioned my "girls" on their trip to Cancun...it's just Christie and her hubby Shannon. I still haven't heard anything directly from them.
Oh heavens, SHIRLEY is thinking about putting in a Maple tree?
Tell her NO! Their roots are so shallow nothing with grow under a Maple. The suck up so much water to grow the soil beneath the tree is continually dry and the roots end up on top of the soil. They are aggressive growers and you'll have to chop it down in 20 years or less if the roots haven't already destroyed the foundation of your house. I don't know how close it will be to your house, Shirley, but I'd only put on on the back 40!
Usually people go into a nursery and ask for a tree that will grow big and tall quickly, so the nursery sells them a maple, but doesn't give any of the negatives about the tree.
E-mail from Linda....they stopped in NC late last night and got about 4 hrs. sleep before hitting the road this AM. It will be late this evening when they get to FL.
Here's the latest on Norfolk Eaglet NX and re-release from the WCV moderated chat:
Ed Clark, WCV: Thanks Cathy.... We try to be honest and open in our answers, but it seems there is never a right way to address things. The reference to schedules was to state that regardless of what happens, NX will be with us for another ten days to two week, as which point, Dr. Dave will personally evaluate her. Dr. Miranda is great and knows a great deal...she handles most clinical duties... but Dr. Dave is the master~! Since he won't be back for ten days or so, we just want everyone to know that this will delay everything until then, regardless of what NX does. It could be longer, if she still acts like a baby, but that is the soonest we can plan a re-release.
Oh, God Bless Linda and family on their journey to Florida. Thanks for the email and keeping us posted LINDA. Thanks to LYNN for posting it!
LINDA, you're in my heart and thoughts, and prayers, of course. I hope you're holding up well and you'll be filled with His grace when you need it most. My love to you and your family.
Thanks for sharing Hedgie.
Hi Lori,
The tree is already there. It is a mature maple. I am not sure what kind of maple, though, but there are lots of kinds of maple trees. The mature tree is in the far back of my yard.
I know better than to purchase a tree just because it is fast-growing. We had two Bradford pears in the front yard and they both came down in storms. They grew very fast, but were brittle, and were the choice of the builder, not me.
Lordy, we almost got another trash can. We switched trash companies, and the old company is supposed to pick up the can. So far the old company has brought us a recycle can and the new company has brought us both a trash can and a recycle can. No cans have been taken away.
Today, the old company was out delivering new trash cans, but they have not picked up the old one yet. That would have given us three trash cans and two recycle cans.
I hollered at them.
Lynn, I am the one who mentioned your girls. Thanks for explaining. I was confused.
On maple trees--I know silver maples have shallow roots. I do not thinks this tree is a silver maple, though.
Have to get ready to take Luna north. Will be back later.
So relieved Shirley! Bradford Pear trees are so pretty, but I wouldn't have one of those either for the reasons you cited!
Glad the maple is way in the back!
Later gators.
Good morning! Jack is still asleep. That pill he took yesterday must still be working. LOL
Laurel just called. They are on their way here, so I have an hour to get ready. Joseph had an orthodontist appointment at 8.
Shirley, we did not allow Michael to play football until 7th grade. Then he played through college. Laurel and Joey are doing the same with the boys. Then Joey will be a PIA to the coaches. Weight lifting ruined his back. Both boys are headed to at least 6'6", so they will be prime candidates, but sure wish they weren't. Joseph loves basketball now and Jacob baseball.
Michael played football at Trinity Univ in San Antonio. His last game we went to he suffered a concussion. Doctor at the hospital told him he should not play professional. We got a laugh at that as there was no way he could play pro. He was not big enough or good enough and had no plans to do so.
Morning, all!
Foot is better today, got it wrapped.
Sorry I didn't get back on last night, fell asleep with foot up, watching the ol' boob tube.
Can you walk, Paula?
Time for me to leave and get ready for the tornado to hit. (Laurel and boys) Going school clothes shopping. They are spending the night so I will not be on much today, but if Jack gets the results, I will certainly get on and share. Appreciate your prayers!
The boys take over the computers when they are here. LOL I should share a picture of Jacob sitting here in my chair with the laptop. Cute!
Later Gators! Have a good day!
Oh yea, I can get around :) I'm at work
Good mid-morning to all.
Feeling very sleepy for Shirley. Sure hope she's been able to catch up a bit this morning. Tulip Poplars are pretty but also fragile like Bradford Pear. How about Crepe Myrtle? Pretty in summer.
Thank you, Lori for mentioning National Night Out. Lots of really good food. One nice thing about our community, never seen store-bought food at a pot luck.
Hope Luna's eye appointment is routine and not because of additional problems.
Andy, sorry about the transcription mess. Maybe that's a sign you need to establish some ground rules for what is required BEFORE you do the work. Hope Emma is feeling better.
Lolly, glad Jack is getting some extra rest. May the grumpiness be gone.
Continued safe travel for Linda and Dennis.
Off to do boring tasks inside so won't be using sun screen today. BBL
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good Morning,
EveryOne.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
C(°?°)3 Jim
All the chicks plus Mom at Finney's nest now.
C(°?°)3 Jim
GOOD MORNING...
No sightings for a while of Belle and Beau. I guess it is just too darn hot...they may have moved farther north:) It will be very interesting to see what this pair does, come December...looking forward to a productive, new season...oh, the joy of having 3 chicklets!
The canopy of leaves will be gone by November and, if left alone, will provide shelter from the sun for our babies when it gets hot again...but, then again, we may not be able to see them. It will be interesting to see what NCTC does about the leaves, if anything.
Charlie and the girls plus a little friend (ha--little meaning in size; she's Jenn's age!) are here and cleaning up. But....Charlie can't get his leaf blower started. ARGH!
Glad Paula's foot isn't incapacitating her...plenty of rest for it, Paula~
JOCK STRAPS? Don't know much about protecting the family jewels...having a part in raising 3 girls, I just know about bras and bikinis and nail polish:)
Dustin, also, was fitted with his football gear, over the weekend. I guess Karla has learned more than she ever wanted to know about body parts protection:) Dustin had his first practice, yesterday...from 8am til 3pm...too hot and I am so fearful of his well being. I guess his heart problem from his Lymes disease has gone away, because he passed his physical.
I haven't heard anything about his day, so, I guess it wasn't so bad.
Lolly, I have the school clothes shopping ordeal coming up in another week. I think I may just give Carolyn my card and let them go without me! Kids are getting harder and harder to buy for---too finicky now!!
Shirley, SO glad I've never had to deal with boys!! Armor cups and jock straps---oh my!!!
Girls are SO much easier! And I was able to thrill them--or at least Carolyn since I haven't heard back from Christie--to share the wonderful news that their oh-so-expensive out-of-pocket costs for their 5 yrs. contraceptive inplant IS covered 100% by the new ruling!
Good Morning Friends... I have read our
morning comments - sounds like everyone
is up/running. My daughter is with me
so I won't be on for any length of time
Lynn - so thankful Linda has gotten in
touch with you - God speed their travels
Hello, Jim. How's things going out your way?
Hello to Jo, also. Have a fun day. Any special plans? Lunch?
Wanda, I'm certain Dustin will be just fine. Passing the physical is a big step and he should know if he starts to feel any negative effects of practice. I do, however, feel too much physical exertion in extreme heat is unnecessary for young people.
Lynn, hope the debris disappears in spite of the contrary leaf blower. I'm with you. Give them the card and wish them fun. Don't enjoy shopping and have found online is very successful.
Sounds as if Shirley might need some sun screen to go along with the jock strap.
Back to laundry. BBL
LORI I got to ask how does a eagle act like a baby Me sittin here scratching head trying to figure it out. On face book they said the other eagle will be realeased on the 4th
"Eagle release on Thursday August 4th! The young Maryland eagle will be released at Mason Neck State Park on August 4th at 11:00 am. Please see the website for details!
Eagle release on Thursday August 4th!!
Eagle release
I clicked on the link to Linda brother and signed the guest book I love it that they have that My best friend when she died her's is still active I go to it every know and then I sure do miss her
Hi ! Sneaking in again just in time to say Good Morning !
Enjoyed sleeping in, but see that I missed some nice chatter betwixt the Early Birds, LORI, JUDY, MARGY and THELMA. Sorry about the no-shows Belle and Truder, maybe later.
SHIRLEY, I share your concern about the debt ceiling debate and vote. Gabby undoubtedly surprised some of her Southern AZ constituents with her "yes" vote. She said the process had sickened her and she felt it time to rise above partisanship and get the job done, or at least started. What a great lady and this is proof that she will be able to return to full service someday soon.
LYNN, thanks for the link to Billy's obituaray and guest book. Praying for Linda and Dennis as they complete the journey. Glad Charlie and the girls showed up and hope he gets that leaf blower going !
PAULA, happy to hear you're mobile ! Keep that leg elevated as much as possible.
Re: Ed's comments about NZ. It would seem all eagles are not born with equal intelligence. He says her release will hinge in part on her maturity, and won't occur until she no longer "acts like a baby". Aw, I love the "little" girl myself !
Well better get back to work doing good this week haven't punched in late for lunch yet Atleasst I come back HaHa sometime that is the hardest is to go back BBL HAGD again
Hi JUDY, The release and Kay explain it well. They determined from her (NX) behavior after the release that she hadn't fully developed the skills she would need to survive in the wild...so he called it acting like a baby. Literally she was "cheaping" like a much younger eaglet when they found her and she did not try to fly away from people, thus behaving more like a younger eaglet instead of one fledging with good insticts and confidence. I hope that makes sense.
Hellllooooo KAY! ((BIG HUG))
I've missed you, but I know you crave to be a night owl again. Maybe you can stay up really late once in a while and we can chat at 1:30! LOL
Thought, prayers, everything just thinking about Linda today. What a difficult time.
Thanks you LYNN for passing on the links for Billy's information.
KAY, echo your Gabby Giffords comment! What a picture of strength and class she is! Love that her husband/astronaut is taking good care of her.
Can understand that, JudyE!
The eagle to be released at Mason Neck (where Shirley and Judie met for an earlier release!!) was found at Ft. Washington, MD--near where Loretta lives. Mason Neck is still near the Potomac....just along the Virginia side.
I, too, laughed at Ed's calling NZ a baby! A spoiled rotten brat may be part of that assessment!! But she IS missing that feather, so......will give her the benefit of the doubt that it's a physical inhibition and not a maturity one!
Kids are done and gone. Charlie used my electric blower---said ground not wet and with ground-fault outlets, no big deal if it were.
Paula, glad that your foot is doing better. Be careful not to re-injure and try to stay off of it as much as possible.
Painters have not shown up...nor called. Never told me they were leaving yesterday, so have mno idea when they plan to return. :(
Lynn Sure hope they don't let you hanging. Are they maybe waiting for
some of it to dry.
My feet are going up because my head is hanging low.......
Killed a baby SB on the deck.....oh, no!!!!!
A quick good morning/good afternoon to you all. Running a bit late today, but "its all good" like they say.
JUDYE The Visitor was not a scary movie, someone learning how to drum and a love story.
Thoughts with LINDA and her travels.
LYNN maybe they will return next weekend since they have a day job and maybe they just assumed that they already established a pattern. I, like you, would have prefered that they cfommunicate better than they did. I do not think they abandoned the project, just poor communicators.
PAULA so glad your foot is better and that you were able to go to work, that means you are mobile...
LOLLY Great that LAUREL and kids are there and thank yoiu for taking computer time from the Grandkids to update us on Jack's results.
OK I am off BBL...Yoga here I come.
Hello Everybody! Hope all are having a better day today----No Tube Riding, No twisted limbs, etc.
News Flash----got call today re: expected move from Chelsea----premature!!!!A top boss deciding this did not take into account that there is NO room for all our equipment in the other Shop!! So, an enlargement would have to be built or down the line after more moving/merging of others, Both exhibit shops may get space together at Watkins Regional Park next door to Chelsea!!! YAY! We can all breath now.
Thank you for letting me vent. I know I always get rational feedback from every one here!!!!♥♥♥
Good news, Loretta. Just make sure Maxine stays close by just in case.
Lynn, sorry about the SB. Hope that is the only one or one of a very very few. Maybe a call to the workers? When are you returning?
Hi Hoda! Happy yogaing.
Jo, keep your feet up as long as you can in case you need to capture meatballs that start coming over the mountain.
Glad the ankle is functional, Paula. Take things slowly, please.
Fun visit this afternoon. Police officer was sitting near our driveway waiting for stop-sign-runners. Always invite them in for bathroom, water, etc. Holidays I take fresh-baked cookies out. She came in and spent a little time with us. Nice lady.
Later
Power went out again....20 mins. this time. Phone, too. NO STORMS!
Guess maybe they were working on lines somewhere. Whew! Amazing how much the house heated up in that short amount of time. 93° now.
Loretta----yes, a big sigh of relief for you!! Good to hear that the outlook has improved!
Oh, I know the guy hasn't abandoned the job! I've only paid for supplies so far!!
Judie, so kind of you to treat the officers so well!! Is your property a corner lot?
Are you rested up well fot tonight's activities, Judie??
Have caught up on comments after a nice nap.
Thinking and praying for Linda as they make the final part of the drive.
JudyE since I went to Colorado
and we ate at Penera Bread. I
really like that place.
Lynne2 I am glad the car had
that warranty. It does sound
like they are trying to fix it.
Wanda we got the storm that Lynn
got. The trees were bending over.
It poured down here.
So glad Bill's daughter and kids
didn't get hit by the falling glass.
Hope Bill can fix that for her.
Yes my Mother said she was watching the news and Gabby Gifford did voted yes on
the Debt Reduction bill. The lady is really a wonderful lady. Her
husband is right by her side.
Mema Jo I do remember the horse on the bark of the tree. Although I can't find the bobblehead doggie they are talking about.
Glad that Jack's MRI is over. Now praying for the crown work. Prayers for results of the MRI. Let us know as soon as you find out something Lolly.
Andy to me that about the font is the doctors fault. Hoping Emma checks out ok.
Lynn I am surprised you haven't heard from Shannon or Christie yet???????
Loretta so glad all turned out in your favor for staying put.
Paula so glad the foot was better that you could go to work today. Maybe when you come home do some ice and put your foot up awhile.
Good afternoon eagle pals.
Still having some 'puter trouble but able to read comments.
Loretta, YAY! Just keep Maxine on commission if you need her.
Judie, you didn't give the officer any meatballs? Have a good time tonight.
Lynn, is there a problem with your electic since the storm? Hope you hear from your daughter & SIL soon.
I would have been terrified to be in Castro country.
Lori, sorry I miss the morning crew and hope you're getting some much needed rest.
SHirley, you were (maybe) lucky to have girls. Had 3 boys, two in sports, and 1 girl in sports. Whew, sure glad those days are over. I found the boys much easier to raise. Not sure why that is, but I've heard the same from other parents/grandparents.
Prayers for Linda & Dennis in their travel and prayers for Linda to be strong for her family.
JudyE, October is best month of the year to me. Maybe that's why I got married in October.
Margy, Tbird and Buddy, sorry I missed you this morning. ((hugs))
Kay, if you become a nightowl, you just may see me there more often than morning.
Paula, glad your foot/ankle is better today and agree with Lynn. Don't reinjure. Walk gingerly.
Lolly, awaiting the good news about Jack's MRI. Have fun with Laurel and the "boys."
Think I remembered everyone. I'm testing my memory today. It often leaves me stranded.
If I forgot anyone, my apology. You know I love you all.
P.S. Shirley. We have a very large Silver Maple tree in our backyard that must be over 50 yo.
I can attest to the root system being on top and everywhere, which is probably why my yard and gardens aren't doing well. Roots sticking up everywhere. Aarrgghh!
See, memory let me down! Hi Jo, Hoda and DanWV.
...DanaWV and dear Wanda!!
Hi, Everyone,
Dropping in to let you know that Emma is trying to make a liar of me. The vet needs a FRESH sample of her poop to test for whatever's bothering her. Took her out to go just now, and this is the first time in 2 weeks that she has NOT had sloppy poop! She still had to be coaxed to eat this morning, and she just has a sad look in her eyes, like she doesn't feel good, though. Our vet appt. is at 3:40 pm Pacific time. Right now, she's trying to coax me to play tug-of-war with her, so she can't feel too bad. I think it was Lori who mentioned feeding her chicken and rice. Her regular food is Blue Buffalo kibble for puppies--chicken and brown rice! Will definitely keep you posted about her. Maybe the heat has something to do with it--it's 89 degrees out, and about 85 in our kitchen right now. Still a bit humid, but not as bad as yesterday was.
Paula, I'm glad you're able to get around well enough to go to work. Hope the improvement continues!
Judie, that's nice of you to invite the officer in for a drink of water and a potty break. Lots of times I think people forget that police officers are human beings, too!
Have really been enjoying listening to WASH-FM! I like their mix of soft rock music.
Well, not really caught up completely on here, but Emma wants her "Mom" to play. How can I say no? Will check back in later. :o]
That is a good sign if Emma wants to play.
Hi Diann glad you dropped in for awhile. ( :
LYNN Many Canacians travel to Cuba on holidays. They find the Cubans friendly and their country provides an affordable holiday. I know that the US does not permit its citizens to travel to Cuba and this is probably why you worried.I am sure they would have been concerned too but I think it probably was not as a dangerous situation as worry makes it be, after all the plane was able to land safely and they were able to airlift them out of there without any mishaps...
hat would be Canadians...who are the Canacians I wonder LOL!!!
Hmmm...I wonder if Cubans threat Canacians differently than they treat Canadians? Hi Hoda!
Andy, glad Emma seems to be feeling better. Please keep us posted as we really like her.
No, no meatballs for the lady officer. Was afraid I might not have enough left over to roll some over the mountain to Jo. Not a corner lot but we offer a good "hiding" place where stop sign runners can't see the cruiser until "oh, crap!" People do forget officers need hydration and toilets. Female officers have to be a lot more careful about unbuckling the gun belt. Males, not so much a problem.
Shirley, how about Leland Cypress tree(s). Lovely all year and especially when it snows.
Okay, need to get ready to take my meatballs to the party. BBL
Hi all!
Lynn, thanks for post the link to Bill's obit and guestbook.
Emma must be on the way to the vet, and I pray she is just not dealing with the heat too well and it's not anything more serious!
Crepe Myrtle Shirley! Or...if you want the evergreen look, rather than Leeland Cypress, get a Green Giant Aborvitae. Very similar in appearance. It's hardy, fast growing, very disease resistant. They get to be pretty tall, about 50 feet, but you can keep them trimmed. 10 foot or more width when mature....here:
Green Giant
I do not know how the Cubans treat the Canacians JUDIE. I know that the Canacians are very healty people because they come from Planet Echanacia, and we all know the qualities of this plant to cure colds and such...So at least they will not sneeze on them causing an International Crisis!!! LOL !!! If you are rolling meat balls to JO don't forget your neighbour up north would like some too, maybe it is already too late as there won't be any left over from this evening's gathering...Bon Appétit.
Of course, there is always the gorgeous Redbud tree! For butterfly attraction, you could get a Mimosa. And of course, there is always the Dogwood! (I am now living vicariously through you in this matter!)
Hoda, you are a hoot!
Luna is going north? Shirley, is she OK? I think I missed something.....
Good Evening Eagle Family!
Great news! I haven't mowed the yard or even watered since the yellow jacket attack - 7 stings - and the new bee guy just left after successfully taking a "big, good size" underground nest out
from under a juniper bush. I even took pictures to celebrate that they're gone! He also sprayed
the flowers around the deck
and looked elsewhere for them and found nothing.
I was showing him where I was standing when I first was stung last week and he quickly said he saw it. Next thing I know he's in his bee suit and bringing it out.
Highly recommend this guy. The termite/pest control people have been out twice to get the nest and nothing!
YAY! Somebody put on the Pointer Sisters "I'm So Excited!"
Hello Lynne, I hope the car problems are soon over.
hi Lori! The Saturn is all fixed and the Mazda's parts will hopefully be in tomorrow. I am off and hope to be able to take it down for what will hopefully be the last time! Not too encouraged by the fact that Steve tried to call them today and got no answer....
So glad you YJ nest is GONE!
This morning I read on the blog about "NX acting like a baby" and the comment was made as to what that would be. On the blog from the WCV site, they talked about her calls are that of a less mature eagle and that is what was meant. She does not call like her age group would require.
Hoping that JUDIE is having a great National Night Out neighborhood party and that even Frank is enjoying the meatballs! If you send them over the hill to JO's, would you mind detouring a few this way? Not a big meat eater, but I love meatballs!
PAULA, I know I've got the Pointer Sisters blaring for my YJ celebration, but no dancing for you! I hope the ankle is feeling better. Listen to Dr. HEDGIE!
DI, I've missed you in the morning. How did the three cats make out at the vet? My three babies are so adorable. Boys will be getting "tutored" (neutered) next week. Little girl, Andy, is more skiddish and no rush with her.
ANDY, what's the latest on EMMA from your 3:40 appt? It should be any minute now. Hope it's just the heat. My last bully, Maffie, used to get stomach bugs like giardia (sp?) and something else. A poo sample will show that.
LINDA,
Thinking about you
and hope you're doing as well
as can be expected after
a long drive like that and the shock of all you've been through lately.
Prayers continue for you and your family.
((Big Lily, Hope & FAITH hugs))
I am up and ready to catch those rolling
meatballs - I am fearful that the crowd
of neighbors that heard the radio
program will be immense and that all
meatballs will be gone! That's ok -
it's for a good cause.
We have finished dinner and it's feels
good outside.
Hey HODA,
I was reading the WCV blog about NX, too. Pretty fascinating. So glad she's returned to flight school if it's not time for her to be out yet.
May we send some humidity your way today? Storms here tomorrow should give a break in the heat and maybe bring the eagles back to the nest? We can hope, right?
Just got home this was on facebook Not forsure if anyone brought it over being I just got home
.Wildlife Center of Virginia
The Wildlife Center admitted another Bald Eagle yesterday -- the 23rd Bald Eagle admitted this year. This bird is from Brunswick County and had a fishing line and hook entangled around one of its feet -- so that it couldn't even open its right foot. Check out the link for the full story and photos.
I got my driver license today When I got there I could see that the lady was one that could take a joke and I said I had been there before and got an extension and now I was ready for the stool sample she busted out laughing and said that will probably be the next step LOL
I ask her how some people can go on line and renew no prob like my daughter and she said that eventually everyone will have to provide all the info like I did that it is sort of a lottery that sends out the card like I got in the mail telling me to come in to get it so now I feel better One good thing with going down now in the computer they ask for a er contact phone in case I am unable to talk in an accident I think that is pretty cool
When I walked in I was given a # didn't even get a chance to walk to the sitting area and was called right away in and out in no time
This is a newer office that is so efficient I loved it and my picture turned out smile and all and I was told to smile
Not so many comments to read to day what happen???? LOL Ok I am going to run to Kmart to see if I can find some new shirts I went to Target and only found one darn it BBL
EAGLE this is the link to the eagle that the got yesterday I knew I forgot to send it along ok now it is bye bye before I think of something else
LOL, Jo---sure doesn't feel good here. 92°.
I bet the meatballs are all gone already. So hope that they have a good neighborhood turnout!
Andy, good sign if Emma was ready to play!
Diann, Shirley has 2 of each---and one gal and one boy are twins!!
Only one grandchild so far---Hunter.
Hoda....did not know that Canadiens vacayed in Cuba! I DO know that they populate the Outer Banks beaches in NC! Have for years!!
Been working on paperwork for loan pre-qualification. Realtor wanted it updated from last year...and bank wants more detailed info this time around.
LOLLY-----any word yet on the MRI????
I'm only a little confused here Lynne2.
I thought you traded the Saturn in for the Mazda. Is that correct???'
So did they pay to have the Saturn
fixed or did you and Steve? When
the parts come for the Mazda whose
car is that and who is paying for
it to be fixed?
Lori so glad that man found and got
rid of the yellow jacket nest!!!!
Hoda you are a hoot LOL -
your Canacians story.
Thanks Hoda for information on NX.
JudyE thanks for putting the EAGLE
link up. It looks like with some
rest and food the eagle should
be able to be released at some
point.
Hi,
Delivered Hunter to football practice and waited there until Kathryn arrived. Came back and scanned over as many posts as I could. Now the dogs are barking to be let back in.
We took Luna for a routine eye exam.
I will BBL.
LYNN We are known as The Snow Birds!!! Many Canadians head to destinations south once it starts getting really cold here...NC is one of the favourite places, so is Nevada and areas around the southern part of California...for a while there were some restrictions on Cuba but not any more, has not been for decades now...I wrote because I wanted you to not worry about your daughter and hubby.
Dana, we sold Steve's truck to downgrade and bought the Mazda, and then had the Saturn (our other car) fix ups done. The truck had become to expensive for us to maintain and gas mileage was pretty low.
LORI I am not sure about the humididty gift you are offering...LOL!!!Don't tell anyone but we are supposed to have a whole week of sunshine and no clouds and no rain...SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Don't tell anyone though!!!! If you send humidity that will mean there could be chances it would rain and I think sometimes it rains so much here I start checking for mold!!!
LOLLY did you hear about this?
Possible COLOMBIA Debris.
Thanks Hoda for that link....is fascinating, good that someone who found it knew to report it.
Emotional for the survivors, though, I think.
That was so sad when that happened.
I was at work with my best astro-fan co-worker.
Hello Eagle Pals xo
bobblehead doggy doews not have too much bobble tonight
at the nest
and can hardly see the Handsome Bearded Man
:(
Good to read that Paula is hobblin' along okay, or at least was, earlier
More rest and ice and elevation tonight Paula !
Hope that Andy's Emma maintains her moxie...and that it was a short spell of whatever she had
And later on, a report from Lolly on how all things Texas went today
Bravo on getting that driver's license Judy
You posted a good LOL, about the extra sample you offered, nice you got good service and some good belly lauaghs while there
xo
LOL, doggie is listening to command to sit still, Margy!
Speaking of dogs, who started the runny poop thing? Nick has it now...he went in the basement last night, but I attributed that to my falling asleep early and him not going out for a last "out". So now there is more this evening!
Boy, foot feels much better without that darn wrap on it! Will ice tonight just to be sure...
Shirley
I got two free redbud trees in the spring. They were sticks, literally.
I planted them, they are thriving in pots now with lots of heart-shaped leaves.
Maybe I should try to get one to you, with transplanting instructions
Hey Hoda, the snow birds in Eastern Canada head to Florida!
all this talk of meatballs now I want some but I want some good Swedish ones
I scored big time at Kmart got 6 nice blue tops I usually go to Ross, Burdines, Kohl's and the mall but didn't want to venture there so glad I did Kmart got 4 on clearance that was even better
Got Jordyn a couple of nice PJ's on clearance also half price
HODA Our area gets lots of tourist from Canada I love their accents I love all accents I should say Hey do you have the canadian accent yet??
oh dear, Paula,
good that Nick heeds the sit command, sure that is fun to behold
hope he doesn't runny poo-poo too much
The nest is so calm no breeze no movement at all
and the man is back
he looks like Lincoln
it's a lot of fun to buy clothes for wee ones Judy
Sounds great
righto about the Eastern Canadians going to Florida for the winter, Paula...
You can watch all the license plates going up and down the coast, in October South, and in May, North ☺
Yes Judy
Handsome man is back
He was waitin' on you!
Your shirts sound nice
Hey: Tomorrow is you Friday ☺
disappearing here for a bit
back a little later on
xoxo ♥
YOUR Friday ooooops
Hoping that Night Out is going great tonight for Judie and Frank and all others participating
Aha I see the man now! It was JudyE comment that he looked like Lincoln! He is facing a different direction than I thought...I thought he was looking into the nest, he's not, he's looking into the bottom right corner!
LOOKS AT THE MAN NOW A SHADOW LOOKS LIKE HE HAS BUNNY EARS LOL
You know the funny part is we have to wear blue but Walmart hardly has any and of course I always make a point tell them I bought else where and when they say something I say we have no choices only t shirts and not to many nice tops
Gotta go grab some grub!
Yes Paula! You have discovered our Nest Adonis ☺
The Moon
Could be visible as a baby teeny tiny sliver tonight if skies are clear, West...
(cloud cover here in Martinsburg)
maybe we will see it Wednesday night
Will be full on Aug 13
looks like sun is going down so much earlier now light is fading form nest already I was so hoping for a visit tonight COME ON EAGLES shake the camera let us know you are still there
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TREE TRUNK IN THE CORNER RIGHT ONE LOOKS LIKE A GINERBREAD MAN CAN'T SEE THE OTHER ARM
YES of course The Smow BIrds go to Florida!!! Right on JUDYE.
My accent is not a Canadian accent as I imagine it to be...there is a French Canadian accent and sometimes people say thoy thought I had it, I think I would like to have an English Canadian accent but know that I do not...LOL. I was taught English by the Scottish Nuns...I do not sound like them I do not think either!!!I sound like me...
I am off to go Dragon Boat Paddling. BBL Stay well all.
sorry to abandon my nest-watching perch, but I must
Judy, but I hope YOU see some Eagle Action
ttfn xoxo
I see Canadian plates on I-81 ALL the time---doesn't seem to matter what time of year it is!! And a lot of them have big RV's!
Sure I've told you that some some of my Scottish ancestor first settled in Canada before moving to Iowa.
I think you're all hallucinating ! I can't see a man, a Lincoln, a dog, a anything in the nest. :(
LYNN, too bad the painters can't communicate. They must not be in any hurry for their $ !
LORI, so glad the B guy got rid of the YJ nest ! Hated to think of you running into them again.
JUDY, thanks for another great story of an eagle rescue. They sure do face a lot of man made hazards out there in the wild. Looks like he/she is about the same age as Truder.
HODA, LOL those Canacians ! They've slipped right in under the radar.
An ex-sil loves all things Latin and has vacationed all over South and Central America. He has been to Cuba numerous times over the last 15years or so. He goes from MI to Toronto and on to Cuba. Apparently as long as you arrive on an Air Canada flight you're in like Flynn.
Hmmm...must really be going around: Liesl has had a lot of very soft poos today, too. Maybe it IS the heat.
She hasn't been too playful, but I attributed that to the fact that she was so excited seeing the girls this morning and they loved all over her and played with her a good bit.
KAY I didn't see him at first until I a day or so ago He is looking down it is a profile of him his eyes is dark and looks like he has a beard he is looking at the bottom of the frame
the colors are now gone on the nest that is a bad sign of no visit not even a camera shake
An Adonis, a gingerbread man ? Are you all trying to drive me nuts ? Too late, I'm already there !
LOLLY many not be in touch til' late, or tomorrow. I think it was uncertain whether or not the results of Monday's MRI would be in today or tomorrow. Today he was having dental work, a crown, I believe. She's been shopping with Laurel and the boys today and figured she'd have to share her puter with at least one of the "J"'s all evening.
There goes the night light at the nest.
Need to get a shower and do some tv may peek in before bed
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Well I'm calling it a day
See ya in the am ☼
God Bless this Nest

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I saw the bobblehead dog, but don't see the man. Still reveling in the victory over YJ's!
Time for bed.
Hope all went well for Emma and Jack today...and for Lynne and her car.
JUDIE, I know you and Frank had a great evening. Bless you for being such leaders in your community. Any meatballs left?
Of course, still thinking and praying for LINDA.
It'll be so nice for her to check in and know we're here and thinking about her.
Love you all! Yes, the sandman has arrived.....
think I'll head up and do some reading....
Good night everyone, and prayers for all!
Going to watch tv
All this poop stuff is giving me stomach cramps. Oh NO MR. BOB!!!!
That snowflake crystal avatar is really refreshing Lynne!
I was thinking, what a naturalist you are! Really enjoyed all the "buttermoths" on your pictures
and the identifications of them
the pink and yellow one, oooh, a beauty
buttermoths, that's an easy way for me to include the butterflies and the moths
Good Night Lori,
will catch you and your voice and your tunes in the morning ☺
Kay
Hello
☺
gotcha there on Lolly's schedule
hoping the Crown work was okay and Jack feels like a King tonight
At the beginning of her treatment, Luna was on four kinds of eye drops and two kinds of pills. She is now on just one kind of eye drop, and it is not the expensive ones.
At one time, the emergency drops she was on cost about $90 for an ounce or two. They are now generic and something like $19 for the same amount.
Thinking of dear Linda and Dennis...a difficult journey, long drive, short sleep..
Prayers, and BIGGER PRAYERS FOR divine inspiration and guidance and strength and comfort in the days to come
((( HUGS ♥ ♥ )) Linda and Dennis
xoxo
Good night, Lori.
That's G☺☺D news, Shirley!
bought James a pillow he has been hankering for, a "Memory Pillow"
like one I have here, actually got two for one price...
going to use the extra one here
might improve my memory
also got him some new sheets
a little before-school shopping
clothes will come along later on
Kay
When you can discern the handsome bearded man, like a wood carving...
I think you will like him
some times it is easier to see him than others
He is Shy
MARGY, thanks for the encouragement on finding "the man". I've always been good at finding animals, people, objects in clouds. Can also find such things in the tile walls and flooring here in the bath and kitchen. So, it's frustrating not to be able to see what you're all talking about !
Lynn
sounds like a good visit today from Charlie and the Girls
Sounds like Liesel got her lovin'
and you got some help with the debris
YaY
I had a big one hour with Caro at work today, our schedules rarely intersect anymore :(
WAH !
SOLD OUT! COME BACK NEXT YEAR!
Hi everyone. I think someone, Lynn?, said meatballs probably already gone at 7:02pm. Well, they were all gone by then. Sorry there are none to lob over to Frederick, Middletown, Hedgesville or up to the Canacians.
It was a terrific turn out ~160 people. Police helicopter buzzed us twice, police chief, lots of officers, two sheriffs, and several politicians. Also had lots of humidity. Oh, and no competing radio station, tee hee.
Well
I couldn't figure out the gingerbread man either myself Kay!
I picked out the wrong doggy bobblehead at first lat night
maybe there were two!
The bearded man looks like a prophet or apostle in a way also...
But you ain't got nuthin' to be sorry about, Honey
Just keep putting those yellow flowers on here !
BRAVO
CLAP CLAP CLAP JUDIE AND FRANK
AND ALL THE PARTICIPANTS
Sounds really really neat, Judie
Kay, it's one of those things that you really do have to figure out yourself! I have been driven nearly nuts trying to see other people's interpretations of designs in my two log homes.....and have probably done turnabout on others, too!! It's your OWN imagination, not someone else's! Don't mind us...just take a peek now and then when the leaves are blowing, and I bet you will make the man out for yurself...just as I did!!
MARGY, what a great grandparent you are ! Memory pillow for James the Wise, how nice. I'd buy one or two if I thought there was any hope for my memory problems ! ;o)
JUDY, your vacation plans sound marvy ! Glad you found your shirts and such bargains at Kmart. I haven't been in one of their stores since leaving AZ. Target is just a stones throw away and it's where I head for that kind of shopping.
JUDIE, we're all waiting with bated, or is it baited, breath to hear about the evening. Need to know how the meatballs went over this year !
SHIRLEY, yikes that was a hefty price for eye drops. My NJ granddog, a Shepadoodle, has to have eyedrops daily, wonder if his cost that much !
JUDIE, ask and ye shall receive ! We were posting about the same time. So happy to hear the evening was a huge success and that the meatballs were a big hit ! You've both worked so hard on that and I know you're feeling relieved and well satisfied now !
Andy, I do hope Emma will be okay. Thoughts are with you.
Paula, maybe Nick is having sympathy poop for Emma. I hope he gets better quickly.
Margy, let me know if the memory pillow really works. I could use some memory help, also.
JudyE, glad you had a successful shopping trip. Hope you get some Swedish meatballs.
Kay, do not fear. I cannot see anything in the nest either. I just assume the others are off their meds and hallucinating.
Oh good grief. Now the Canacians have the ability to disguise themselves as smow birds! Those Canacians are really making me nervous.
Shirley, glad that Luna's exam was routine and the meds are down to one and relatively inexpensive.
Judie, sounds like the shebang was a hit!
Kay, it took me a long while to find that man, LOL. He just appeared!
Hope Lolly is having a fun day with Laurel and the boys.
MARGY and LYNN, okay, I'll take your word for it. I'm turning the cam off for tonight, but on the morrow I will continue to search for the Man.
Well, it is time for me to stop resisting the sandperson. Must rise early to go get my "do" did. Then a quick trip to school.
The night light is on for anyone moving around in the dark or coming in from the West Coast and for the Canacians. Restful sleep for all.
Judie
I'm sitting here thinking I messed up...
was there WASH-FM live coverage of the event?
Because I did not have the radio on
:(
But I HOPE there WAS live coverage...
Lori, so glad that the YJ's are gone!! SIL said they were swarming around his truck here this morning....he had pulled up into the woods---bet he stirred up an under-leaf nest. He found a big wasps nest at their house yesterday----when they got swarmed while in the pool! He took care of them with two attacks on the nest!
Okay there Kay
oh dear, now I am seeing something...
your beautiful yellow flower
kind of looks like it is, smiling, but also like it is sticking its tongue out at us
LOL
Glad to read of a little upswinging report from Loretta on plans at the little farm workplace at PRP, hope for a good outcome there...
Signing off Pals
Have a couple of handfuls of prayers to tend to
Best wishes for Sleep and Restorative Sleep
Good Night from this Roost...
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Lori, glad to hear your YJ are gone!
Judie, sounds like lots of fun! Did you have musical entertainment?
Now you can relax a bit before classes start!
Kay, we got a Target a couple of years ago---first trip in they had BURNED the Starbucks coffee.....and I could not get that smell out of my nose for a couple of days---awful! I've only been back once!
Almost time for HawthoRNe....heading for sofa! BBL.
Doing a Margy...
No Margy. Not live coverage. What I was referring to is a radio station that contacted Darth last week and wanted to be there tonight. Contacted Lori via Lynn. So Lori had the scoop. Yippee! Other station didn't show up.
Very glad Lori's YJ have been cleared out. Lynn, hope yours are also. Please be careful you two.
Really leaving this time. Bye
Good grief, the dogs in the neighborhood are going bananas. There must be some deer or raccoons moving through. Or...maybe an Echanacian space ship has arrived and Canacians are invading. Watch the 11 o'clock news ! I may have nightmares tonight.
You all have a good night with sweet dreams and I'll "see" you tomorrow.
Prayers for all in need.
♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y !!!!!!!
I just thought of something...but the thought came too late...we could have put together a road trip to Judie and Frank's block party. Wouldn't' that have been a blast? Wonder if Judie took any photos. If you haven't noticed it yet, I am a photo nut...love all photos. I look at photos on face-book nearly every night...sometimes for hours!
Margy & Lynn, on face book, there are some wonderful photos of "Q" and Brandon at Ocracoke. "Q" caught a 5 ft Shark. He was quite excited:)
Nite Judie and Kay♥♥
Wanda
I said good night but I was preparing an email
wanted to ask you:
I am thinking of switching to Comcast for internet..Yay or Nay?

OK Wanda, who do I need to friend to see those pics, LOL
Well I saw the adult eagle off the shore when we were doing our warm up exercises and was she putting on a performance, Large wing span 12 foot from tip to tip is what I thought.Oh circled and came looking for fish went up high and tried again...then flew to a distance...neddles to say I was not too focused on the exercises and we all laughed about it.
It was a good paddle, warm and with a bit of a breeze to make it pleasant.
I now have to catch up to the blog...and prepare a salad for my supper.I am having a cold lime drink with ice...cooling...
Just stopping by to say hello. Am thinking of Linda on her long drive. Paula, I hope you take care of your ankle. I know it is hard when you have so much to do. Lynn, i hope they come back and finish your home soon. And Jack, I am hoping for only good results from your MRI. For all the injured and rescued birds, may they heal and be released quickly. For all others that I have missed, believe me when I say that I think of you guys oftern and lurk in the backgrounf trying to keep up! Please stay as cool as possible.
I think I need to look at the nest and see if I can still see that man myself.
Have been in and out of the blog as much as possible. I did take a couple of naps today. I hope that does not mean that I can't sleep tonight.
Lolly, I remember what you said about Michael and football. We did not really think we wanted Hunter to play football at such a young age, either. But he wanted to.
Funny thing is that he was inspired by his Uncle Rus who never played a game of football in his life. Rus enjoys professional football and he passed the interest on to Hunter.
Hunter has the same coach for baseball and football, and he seems to be really good with the boys.
Having an athlete in the family is a new experience for us. My children were more interested in drama. They played soccer a little while and we did a little bit with the swim team.
Tom (Hunter's Dad) played the clarinet in the marching band, though he is a big, strong guy. His father would not allow him to play sports because his older brother got hurt wrestling.
Judie, so glad that your event was a success. But I was hoping to see some meatballs rolling up the highway.
Luna's eye doctor is impressive. She has worked at the White House . . . I think maybe she took care of a Bush dog, maybe.
I see that we are about to split again.
Paula...Margy, Photos are now on WILD AND WONDERFUL, because "Q" is!
Ah Hoda, another wonderful dragon boat outing. Happy you got to see the eagle !
Suzan, we miss you and hope you can find the time to stay and chat! How are you feeling today?
My parents would be very happy to see Hunter enjoying sports. However, their game was basketball, and Hunter did not enjoy his basketball experience particularly.
Maybe I will get one of those basketball goals. I kind of like shooting baskets myself. But, no, I was not an athlete.
Hi, Suzan. Tell us about yourself. How are you doing? We have missed you.
Speaking of sports, I think Hoda is our athlete on here!
Shirley, glad to hear that Luna is improving!
