Good Night...
and also I got your email and I thank you, am working my way through the evening activity here...
At some point, I am likely to disappear from the blog. I don't think I will be able to blog from my cell phone. I can't connect with it until I figure out what is wrong, but I might get on FB briefly, though I will need to save the battery for emergencies and family calls. Phone is charging now.
I think I was about 3-4 days without power after Isabel hit.
Going to head upstairs now. I am tired tonight. See you tomorrow. Good night.
thank you Hoda...you are absolutely correct about the jury system...and it is good that it is that way
OH what a SPLIT that snuck in..
Shirley, I was a wee one when Hurricane Hazel passed through, but I remember torrential rains and wind, and my father using cuss words...which was pretty unusual around us kids
Hoping that Jack gets a super night sleep tonight Lolly before heading out on his adventure !
I posted some pictures of me arriving to yoga today LYNN. You had said next time to ask the photographer to take a picture of my face in under the hat!!!LOL!!!
I think I said Good Night a little while ago, but this here blog keeps drawing me back....
I couldn't absorb all the posts today, but most important thing I want to say is my Heart is with all of you, and my prayers, and Thank You for Yours !!
So Good Night, once again, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Margy, you have mail.
Not sure why, but very weary tonight.
Paula, come back as quickly as you can, please.
It is sad to realize how much we concern ourselves about our human safety when we have advance warning and can prepare to protect ourselves and yet forget about how vulnerable the wildlife is when there is a severe storm, wildfires, etc. May we and the animals be safe and unharmed.
The sandperson is skulking around in the hallway. I can feel the impatient need for sleep creeping close to me.
The night light is on for anyone who may need to arise in the darkness and for Andy and Hoda who will arrive late from the West coast. The sandperson has reminded me that Hoda should also be included in late arrivals. Restful sleep for all. Until tomorrow...
From Candy: "Hey there Jo. James was let go about 3pm. The county decided not to wait until 5. I have just been upset with him as he was up on an extension ladder trying to get the gutter drain unplugged in the rain and dark. :( He is inside now and we are just waiting. It seems like they have down graded it to coming in as a cat 1 hurricane. It should be ok. Please don't worry. We have been through many of these storms, only it usually was just Josh and I, as James was either working at 911 or the fire station."
They are saying some rain will be here overnight or perhaps in the morning....will get up and get my stuff done....see if any neighbors need help...then will head home. Sue ellen and hubby are waiting until Monday to come down...she will call me when she gets here amnd let me know how everything is
Margy sorry about the verdict....and surely hope you didn't have to use your vacation leave to testify...sounds like that would be compensable time!
NO traffice on the way down
They are evacuating delaware beaches too...traffic wasn't bad going west either
HODA: you pictures of yourself and of the Dragon Boat are fantastic! I really enjoyed seeing them. Love the Hat! Suits you so well!! ♥
I'm heading in to the news and then to
the pillows.......
Good Night and God Bless
Prayers for Nilla and for Chris' healing
Hugs to All ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good grief, Margy! Nilla has a great grandchild? She can't be any older than me! Wow.....
That was a much quicker end to the case than you expected, right??
Lolly, those who have the power to do somethimg ab out those situations and DON'T, are just as dangerous to our youth as those who are incompetent or uninterested. Can't blame you for getting out, either.
yes Hoda, we are on the west side of Baltimore, and live on a hill! Don't think we have much to worry about in the way of flooding or really bad winds...But it will be very windy and rainy for sure. Or not, if the storm would be so kind as to move just a little further to the east! Mostly a power outage concern here.
PAULA if you get a chance let us know before you start your journey out of the eye of the storm towards home tomorrow.
Good post from CANDY JO. Thank You.
MARGY, we did have Family Friday, but just Gene and I and GG. Karla is in unknown places and Denise had some meetings tonight.
Sooooo, we went to Cina City and had Crab Legs:) GG said she never wanted to fill herself up that much again:)!
sure glad I didn't win tickets to the Oak Ridge Boys concert at the Great Frederick Fair for tomorrow night!
SO very glad to hear how well GG is doing Wanda!!!
According to the NEW YORK TIMES Hurricane tracker by two in the morning Irene will be down graded to Category ONE!!! Now if it would only take a right turn out towrds sea!!! Does not look like it thought...So batten down the hatches is still the right thing to do...GOD KEEP YOU ALL AND ALL THE CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL TOO.
Good evening to those still awake.
Been a busy day getting ready for Irene's visit. Hope all are in ready for this unwelcomed guest.
Found a really neat item for those leaks in the laundry room. Sand tubes! They're about 3 feet long and 6-8 inches in diameter. They are used for blocking water from entering under doors. Not anxious to find out if they work, but now we're ready.
See that prayers are needed for Janet & Chris. Speeding recovery for both.
Special prayers for Paula's travel to and fro and all in Irene's path.
Anyone watching football? Packers & Colts. Last night's game was a nail-biter. Sure sorry the Skins lost.
Tomorrow night I can watch my 2nd favorite team - NE Patriots. Their games are not televised here often so I watch whenever they are.
Game over, 24-21 Packers. Another nail-biter at the end.
Time for the news and updated weather report.
God bless all in eagle land - 2 & 4footed. Stay safe!
Linda, the NBG eagle and the other one are perfectly safe. They are currently in the western part of the state.....down Rt. 81 a piece from here. Rest assured that they are not in danger.
Oh, yes...the deputy WAS fired from his job. He plans to sue to get it back according to local scuttlebutt. Lots of inequity around here about how such things are handled amongst the different law enforcement agencies.
My Hazel story is this: Daddy and I went to a little neighborhood grocery for supplies. He left me in the car while he ran in because it was raining and blowing so hard. A huge old DC tree fell on the car parked in front of our car. Yep---I was scared!!!!! I was 6, I believe....'55 right, Shirley?
Hoda, love the pics!!!! Thank you---I left a comment!!!
Hi Diann!
WOW, scary thing to have happen Lynn!
Was it Isabel that took down the famous Wye Oak tree? I actually have a leaf from that tree!
Shirley and Lynne, think positively!!!! Stop assuming that you will lose power!!! Be prepared, but don't ask for trouble.
From what I can recall, Hazel was probably the worst 'cane DC ever got......had no idea it affected up here, too, Margy. Of course Agnes had bad effects but it was more the water than the wind....but it was a long time ago, and maybe I've forgotten the details. Think I was either a newlywed or a new mom then, so was busy!
LOL Lynn!! I am POSTIVE the power will go out! Ground wet, too many big old trees around. Heck, it went out in the wee wee hours last night and we don't even know why! Big old tree fell this past week down onto the road at the far end of the property here, too. We lost it during Isabel for 3 days.
Agnes affect us even up in the 'burgh. I remember not quite being able to comprehend the concept of flooding in my 10 year old brain! I thought it meant the rivers would be really high up over the bridges!
Teresa and family will feel the brunt of Irene. They are in Chesapeake VA. Fortunately it doesn't flood in her area and she's used to getting through this type of storm. I'm still worried about them.
She lived through many typhoons when she was stationed in Okinawa. Mike is there with her and he's never experienced a hurricane. Hope Max isn't scared.
I remember Hazel! The wind frightened me. To this day strong winds make me very uncomfortable.
Love your avatar Diann!
Yes, the wind scares me too. I remember during Isabel hearing the terrible cracking of tree limbs around the property here......
Hi, Diann...goodnight, Diann! Saw the end of the game...a squeaker---again! Sure can do without those close ones!! Neat about the sandtubes! Hope they work for you!!! Hope even more that you don't have to find out!!
Prayers for your kin, Diann.
Lynne....power goes out here for NO reason on many occasions. But rarely during bad weather!! Go figure.
Think it was Isabel that did in the Wye Oak. :(
Think I'll hit the hay. Good night and prayers for all.
Wish I could be at the beach AFTER the storm passes....great shell finding after a storm!
One of the things that I hate most about severe weather is that it almost always happens in the dark here. I want to SEE what is happening!
you ain't kidding Lynn....and the worst will happen here most likely after dark tomorrow.....OOOOooooOOOOoooOOOO!
Good night again!
Agnes was June 1972. We were on vacation in Pike Co. PA when it rained and rained. Didn't know it was a hurricane because it always rained while on vacation. When decided to come home had to delay 2-3 days because of flooding.
We could see the smoke from the fires of Wilkes-Barre from Rt. 81 on our way home. We had a lot of damage from the rain. Cellar was full, furnace was inundated and lost a lot of my canned fruits. What a loss.
Must check on my friend in Brooklyn.
Agree! Why do the bad storms happen after dark. Like you, Lynn, I want to see what's going on.
Guess I'll try to get some zzz's
Had a real bad day with the back.
Lolly, I know how you suffer.
Goodnight and God bless!
The beach after a bad storm is full of lots of neat things....we have even found pieces of broekn up boats!!! So many marinas don't have room to take all boats out of the water....and many vanish!
And speaking of vanishing.....it is time for me to do just that!
See you all tomorrow. Prayers for all needs...and especially for safety for those in harm's way---including the wildlife---who really are much better equipped to deal with it than we humans!
P.S. Diann, thanks....I was 6 mos. preggers with Carolyn then. I remember my Mom coming up here from DC area and so many roads were flooded that she had a hard time finding a way through and out of Martinsburg to reach out road!! No cell phones then, of course!!!
Don't recall fire in Wilkes-Barre....???? Will look it up!
Bye!
Hi, Everyone,
Wow, it's taken nearly forever to catch up on here tonight! There's a lot happening!
Prayers for Nilla going up. Chest pains need to go away, and no migraines from the nitro allowed! Praying for a speedy diagnosis, and for good treatment. Praying that her strength returns!
Sharon, praying for rapid and complete healing of Chris's broken arm/shoulder!
DEFINITELY praying for everyone and every creature in Irene's path!
Prayers for Margy's co-worker's husband, and the whole family, in the loss of his nephew. Prayers also for his grandmother and his older brother.
So sorry that Kay & DanaMO couldn't get together! Prayers that they can get together soon!
Saint Shirley, I vote for caging the roommate and his dog in the garage, too!
JudyE, prayers for Jordyn's finger.
Lolly, prayers for your back! Hope it's better pronto!
Prayers for Diann's family.
Back for a minute to warn you all: I got an email from someone who may very well be a TROLL on our blog. BEWARE!!!! Have asked Jo if we have this person registered as a Momster. If not, into the SPAM folder she will go.
Gosh, it's hot & humid again here tonight! Supposed to last all weekend. Minor inconvenience, though, compared to what's going on on the East coast!
Think I will go watch some mindless TV and spend time with Emma. Have said prayers for everyone, and for all creatures. Hope everyone sleeps well tonight. Turning on the porch light and enabling both security systems. God bless, and goodnight!Love all of you! :o]
Lynn - I didn't recognize that name.
Oh--here's another picture from our trip to Huntington Beach pier the other day. This gull let me get pretty close!
♪♪♪♫♪ Happy Birthday to you
Capt Gene! Have a great day and a
good year ahead
Oooh--I'm glad I hadn't left yet!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAPT. GENE!!!
Hope it's a fantastic day, with an even better year ahead!
Okay, guess I can say goodnight for real now. :o]
LYNN and JO thanks for the clear communication in regards the TROLL. Quick action and I for one am grateful.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN GENE and MANY MORE
I will log off as Judie's Sand person seems to have found his way to BC!!! More specifically to my little computer room...oh my he will not let go!!!
Morning GLori Have a great day as you get up and I hope it is not too stormy your way.
Sweet Dreams and God Bless every one. Prayers go to all who are in pain or with health issues.
Prayers go to all the creatures to find safe havens from the storm.
AMEN, HODA!
Still don't know where Karla is tonight! I'm hoping she drove home and doesn't want anyone to know, so that she may have a little peace and quiet...MTBR
GOOD NIGHT ALL MY FRIENDS
LORD, KEEP THEM SAFE FROM HARM
SLEEP WELL♥

MEGAN, I would sure love to have you, our weather expert here. ♥
PAULA, I'm SO HAPPY that you will be coming home this morning and be out of harm's way. :)
Loved everyones old hurricane stories.

BBIAF
Morning all
Rain has started here
Morning, Paula.
Slugging down some coffee here, just trying to get ready for the day. Still need to get the canopy frame down. Might be doing it in the rain if we don't hurry. I was too tired last night, and I think Kathryn was too.
I think Hunter's football practice will be called off. They have canceled all of the games, but did not mention practices.
Good Morning!
Paula - Hope you're getting your work done and will be heading west very soon. Stay safe!
Shirley - Good Morning to you. Hope the rain holds off until you get your canapy structure down and secure things outside as well.
Lori - You look to be further east than those in WV. Stay safe and hoping you don't lose power.
We are going to secure some things as well. We are expected to get some winds in the 40mph range in the early morning hours tomorrow and throughout the day.
So glad Belle and Truder made a pre-Irene visit this morning! It will be nice if they make another post-Irene visit tomorrow or Monday! Stay safe, our Eagles!
Lynn - Got the same email and it started as "Was reading your blog....." so I would assume it isn't anyone in our group. Just a trolling lurker, as we know they can do. That is the scary thing. Anyone can click on your name and click on your email and get the address, right? All they have to do is have a google account.
♫ ♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPT. GENE,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! ♪ ♫
Hope your day if full of fun. Thanks for being a great Dadster!!
Morning all! So glad you early birds SAW our early birds!!
The TROLL was banished to spam....did NOT respond to her!
Some sun this AM.....no rain yet, but humidity is SO high that it feels very tropical! Drip, drip!
♪♫Happy Birthday, Capt. Gene!! Wishing you many more. Stay dry.....♪♫
Lynn - Good to see you this morning!!
Okay, we got the canopy frame down and in. It took both Kathryn and me to do that. Hunter brought in the front porch chairs. We can turn the big, metal table upside down.
I guess football practice is going to happen. It is warm, very humid, and breezy outside.
Happy birthday, Captain Gene!!
Aha--just as I suspected.....military planes have come here---airport and Air Guard side is at capacity!
Hello again...got all my outside stff secure...chevcked the next 2 houses...really raining here now. Waiting for the rain to ease just a tad before I pack the car
Kathryn said that helicopters, etc., have left Quantico.
What city is Paula's place in?
So far power is still om in Kitty Hawk.....and up closer to the area where Karla was. Haven't found a southern end cam working yet.
Weather map pic on my blog. Oh my! Football coach just called. No practice. I am glad. We have some more things to do.
Linda, Paula's Paradise is in Rumbley, MD.
Paula---hit the road!!
Gee, Shirley....wish they had cancelled that practice. :(
Missed your last post, Shirl---hurray!! Glad you hadn't left yet.
Off to take care of last-minute things.
Doesn't look like the rain is going to "let up" to pack the car and get out of dodge for Paula.
Prayers that the drive in the rains is a safe one.
Be careful Paula! Praying for traveling mercies as you head back home.
Good Morning SHIRLEY, LYNN, LINDA and PAULA!
Very exciting to see our busy Belle and Belle Boy (love that!) checking on their nest first thing this morning.
PAULA, prayers for your safety on your way home. Hoping it does ease up before you get out of there.
Extra scratches for Nick's belly! :)
SHIRLEY, don't you love it when you hope something will be cancelled and you get that call? What a relief. And, you got your HIrene work done, too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR-MY-FAVORITE BEAN-COOKER-CAPTAIN FATHER GENE!
I hope your day is special and your Tiger gives you whatever you want - within reason. LOL
Thank you LYNN for your warning to PAULA. I echo it! Was trying to be gentle, but doesn't matter when safety is paramount. LOVE YOU ALL !
Lynn - Forgot to thank you for Paula's location!
So happy to see you Lori. Looks like your weather will be deteriorating pretty soon, too. Do stay safe. No playing in the rain today!!
LINDA,
I'm pretty confident we'll be okay here. Things have slowed a bit. The only hitch would be higher winds with such wet ground. They don't even have tropical storm warnings posted here, but they do in the two neighboring counties. So glad you're back on and pray things are returning to normal for you. Prayers for brother's rehab and Lillian, too. ♥
The smiles on your faces, Linda and Billy, are infectious. I smile everytime I see that avatar, LINDA! :)
Dennis just went out to get some Dog food, since we need it anyway and will stop by the grocery store for a few things. I told him if it is crowded, forget it.
We get some pretty hefty storms in the winter with high winds and fare pretty well, so we are hoping with all the leaves on the trees we won't see too much damage from limbs coming down.
We have already had a few lightening strikes on the property this summer. Ripped the bark right off one of our huge ash trees and slung shredded pieces all over our yard. It was amazing.
We have been lucky to keep our power through some of these nasty short term storms! Here's hoping it holds through this one!
OK folks...heading home....see ya later
♥ Awe....thanks, Lori! ♥ It's good to be back and glad you like seeing my avatar. I just love seeing Billy's face, too. He did love his Sis, and I am appreciative of that!
Glad you're pretty confident you'll be safe!
Missing Kay today. I guess she wasn't able to resolve the computer problems. I sure hope that she either gets it fixed or gets a new one pronto!!
We miss you, Kay!!
Thanks for the Belle and Truder report...wonderful.
Thanks PAULA for checking in and MANY PRAYERS come your way, and NICK's, as you finish your tasks there and head out on the road. GOD'S GRACE go with you.
Good Morning all.
Thanks for the spam report LYNN.
STAY SAFE EVERYONE. Will check back in after paddling.
OK PAULA is headed home...PRAYERS PRAYERS PRAYERS from all of us to you PAULA.
86 mile an hour winds on the path of the hurricane says the NEW YORK TIMES Tracker...I had to check...I think of you all, GOD'S SPEED.
Today is also sweet Tian Tian's birthday!!! 14 y.o.!!! Think the zoo is closed, but sure hope the keepers treat him to a nice fruitsicle cake!!
We love you, very much, HODA. Thank you for your prayers. All praying that PAULA gets home safely. I hope she will pull over to safety if she has any trouble.
Oh LYNN, I miss Tai Shan (sp?). Happy Bamboo to Tian Tian.
Happy paddling, Hoda! Hope they don't wear you out today!
G☼☼D Morning Eagle Pals
I put the Suns ☼ up just to pretend...
Prayers for SAFE TRAVELS PAULA and everyone else slogging around in the wetness
See that article about the planes, Lynn...wish James was here we would head out right now to see that!
GREAT NESTCAPADE REPORTING, to the Eagle Trio: JudyE, Lori, and DanaMo
Happiest of Birthday Wishes to our Father Captain Gene...This Day is for YOU...
Hope you can feel how special you are to us !!
(( HUGS ♥ )) and few XXXX's also !
Want to thank you Jo
for bringing the Candy & Jim news to us last night
happy they can ride out the storm together !
Prayers for Nilla's stress-testing this morning, maybe it's all over by now!
If anyone has gotten any updates i.e. through facebook, could you bring that over for us ?
Please and Thank You !
Good morning all....Obeservations this morning: Dead baby Milksnake on the sun porch. Thank a lot Brother Cat. Cloudy and breezy and some big gusts have just started whipping up. There are NO hummingbirds so far this morning at the feeder, which is very weird. Female Monarch in the yard landed on the milkweed and laid an egg. Sadly, my milkweed is shot...don't think there is enough to sustain the full life of a caterpillar.
Glad to see there was a visit by our eagles this morning! I am disturbed by the nest weather....40mph wind gusts, rain. I think the cam is not the only thing to worry about, given the already deteriorated condition of the Sycamore Palace :(
well I got me some arthritis in my index finger on typing hand, think it's time to say
Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone....In All Our Eagle Corners
ttfn
xoxox ♥
Good 'not raining here in the valley yet' Morning!
Thank you for all the details recorded about the Morning Visit - I pray our Eagle Couple and all God's creatures will be safe throughout the storm.
I was also very relieved and joy filled my heart to hear from Candy on FB and from Paula who is heading home!
I think our main concern is keeping our electrical power and that all the trees stand tall.
oh sorry about the milksnake, Lynne..but better to see that than a baby copperhead !
That would give me the CREEPS !
And I would be EVACUATING !
Hi There Mema J☺
you working today Margy? I don't see any updates from Nilla on FB....hope all is OK!
Glad Paula is on her way back home!
Stay Strong and Stand Tall
Sycamore Palace
Lynne my thoughts are like yours but
let's pray is keeps standing...
NO Ma'am Lynne not working today, got the last of my vacation days today then two regular days off...
hoping I don't get called in Sunday or Monday, I have lots to do !
Hoda I lingered a while with your
photographs - Your face is so
captivating - Thanks for sharing...
Your my friend on FB so you can look at
all my pics of me and family and friends
I now can say that I could pick you out
in a crowd of people (Just be sure to
wear your hat) lol ♥
Steve decided we need more milk so he has gone to the store. I think he just needed to get out of the house for a bit. He has spent the last 2 days going to 14 different places (including Taco Bell, I must add) looking for a job. He is so stress and worried. We are going to be short on our rent payment for the 1st. Last night, there was discussion on returning the dogs to their rescues, and trying to find a really cheap place to live for now. Or selling our wedding bands. I'm so worried about him, he is just beating himself up over the events of the last few months....
Avon, NC (OBX) which is part of our preferred area, is without power, but phone lines are working.
Oh shoot Margy....too bad the weather is going to be less than lovely on your mini vacation! But hope you get all your things done and find some fun, too!
Margy please enjoy some personal time
Sounds like you have a few days of it
Hope Irene doesn't rob you of your time
Wish we would know the whereabouts of
Karla on her daddy's birthday!
Shirley
Happy to read you and Kathyrn got the canopy down...and that your little helper Hunter is part of the work team!
Glad the practices were canceled, makes perfect sense to me
This is part of a very historical week for Hunter...sure he will remember all the activity for years to come
Here is a surf cam on the north end near where Karla's in-laws place is:
Duck surf cam
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPT. GENE!!! I left him a message on Facebook!
WOW we just had a heck of a gust! I'm trying to keep the bird feeders up as long as possible so the little ones will have plenty to eat!
Good morning! Do not have time to read back on the blog. Take Jack to the airport in less than an hour. Will come home and then leave for Laurel's around 3:30.
Saw that Candy still has electricity. That is good! And I will be happy when I know Paula is home.
Hanging in there with my back. I did have a muscle spasm and now my back is so sore, really hurts.
Love the picture Hoda posted on fb. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful lady here with us!!!
Lynne, Steve is such a conscientious
guy - It's hard for him not to beat
himself up - but don't let him do that.
Find things for him to do around the
house to keep him busy (I'm sure you do) Prayers for both of you and
especially for that job to appear out
of the blue for Steve.
Lynne:
for you and Steve
(( HUGS and PRAYERS ♥♥ ))
a paraphrase from something from Scripture (2 Corinthians 11:22 - 12:10)
If God sends you on stony paths, He will provide with you with strong shoes
yeah Margy, I was sad about the MS. He was so colorful, and about 9 inches long. I wish we could just leave Brother in the house at night instead of on the sun porch, but he gets so obnoxious and wakes us up running across the bed when he decides he done being in the house and wants to go back out! GRRRRRRR

meds.

Lolly:
Happy Jack-Michael Adventure wishes to the fellas...and
could you just stay home and
recuperate today ???
Karla did post birthday greetings to her Daddy on FB, so she's okay!
Lynne, did Steve get any possibles out of his job search? Feeling so bad for you.....this cloud has GOT to lift from over your heads...maybe Irene will blow it away. Prayers continue. Still don't understand why he's not getting U/E.
Whoops! Hello Jim! Does it rain
is sunny California?
JO, I have been doing exactly the opposite, doing most things so he won't have to worry about things around the house. Probably the wrong thing to do. Wish I was better at this being married thing. I'll find some things for him....
He was mostly discourage because he drove around to all of these different places hoping to fill out apps and maybe talk to someone in person, but many of them just told him he has to fill out an app online. We'll be doing that today.
Good Morning Jim....hope YOU West Coasters have some good weather today...
gotta do the same as Jo, shake along and get morning pills in...
started Calcium regimen this week, got to follow the plan...
thanks for the well-wishes Jo and Lynne...for the rest of my
"free time" - it will include the Little Man but I think Swimming is out of the question
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxox ♥
Margy, have fun....maybe tomorrow afternoon the storm will have moved out well enough for some swimming!
LYNN...you have mail.
Lolly, SO sorry about your back. That sucks big time. Safe travels and fun for Jack on his adventure!
Stopping for gas...first place was out...rainy but wind is less as I head up the road
WANDA---brought in the trail cam...had it set on video....only video it took was when I was mounting it! All the rest are stills. ARGH! Can't catch a raccoon fight that way!
four posts from
THE SPLIT....
Kinda hoping we get a New Thread before that, or pretty soon !!
Sure hoping Paula can gas up the buggy at her next pit stop !!!
Hey LYNNE!
Keep your chin up! If you're saying prayers to the God who loves you and you're busy looking for a job, you are doing your part. And you know every Momster is praying, too. It'll come at the last minute, but know you're taken care of.
((((BIG HUGS for BOTH OF YOU))))
MARGY, your writing so SO FUN!
RE: Gassing up the buggy, and I loved the Stoney Path paraphrase. You are beautiful.
Checking in briefly.
Happy Birthday to Capt. Father Gene! Many more, please.
Margy, sorry about the verdict. Hope that your time off will help to compensate.
Paula, safe travels home.
Lynne2, prayers for Steve and you.
Raining quite hard now but no serious wind. Trying to get things done, last minute laundry, etc., in case power goes out.
BBL if power stays on.
May each and every momster and dadster be safe.
Split coming!
Lynne or others....- I have a dog food question for you. Recommendations for an older dog?? WE have fed Science Diet for years, but their first ingredient is whole grain corn (what does that mean?), chicken-by-product meal, animal fat... etc. I've always heard that corn isn't good to feed as a first product and to stay away from "by products."
Vets seem to recommend Science Diet, but I wonder.....
Riley seems to always go out to the field and eat something green out there. I wonder if he is lacking something in his diet.
Any suggestions? I've been researching and am still not sure what to do.
Blue looked good until I read some reviews from pet owners.
Would love some input from you or anyone else, because we are wanting to switch his food. He is a 65lb 10yr old Border Collie.
I just had to come in and tell you all that the vulture chick is really branching.
I went out to feed him before the storm and he was up in a tree over the barn! I'll get the pictures up later, I promise.
