Despite the tragedies, I love aviation in all it's varied aspects. I've been to about a dozen air shows and to the EAA Fly-in at Osh Kosh once (the year the controllers went on nationwide strike in the middle of it and Pres. Reagan fired them all)...and have never had a bad experience. I've flown in an aerobatic plane with a local pilot and done the loops, the hammerhead stall, etc. I've flown in an open cockpit helicopter....would never trade any of it. Haven't and probably won't fly commercial again since 9/11 because the airport hassle is just too much especially now for this breathless body)....but I truly have never felt fear. HEck, I owuld have gone on the shuttle if I could have! I was SO jealous when Barbara Mandrell got to fly in an F-16....why HER? Why not ME???!!!!!!
Dana, the angle of "attack" so to speak was very sharp...and well away from the crowd. He was coming out of a loop, apparently, and was just too low to pull up...TBD whether it was pilot error or mechanical. No way he had time to eject---even if he had, he was too low for a chute to open in time.
I found this on the Wildlife Cente of VA facebook page about the eagle the other day
Alice Witt: This is the eaglet that was hit by a car last night on the east side of Decorah. Two passing motorists stopped, contacted Bob Anderson, who rushed to capture it. Bob kept it overnight and SOAR's licensed rehabber picked it up this morning for the trip to its Rehab Facility for evaluation and rehab. They will post updates on their website. http://www.soarraptors.org/index.html /the site to keep an eye on for info I went ahead and made a link
I sent an email to them asking about the injured eagle that a man named Bob turned over to them. That I believe it was found around Decorah. I will let you all know if I hear anything back.
I have a yard full of big fat robins. Settling in for the night in their migration, maybe? And two thrushes just settled into the abandoned cardinal nest in the pyracantha---which is full of berries. Something hit the picture window in the office really hard---which is what made me go out to look!
BTW,on C-Span 3, American History TV, Richard Dreyfuss is broadcasting Live from the Robt. C. Byrd Ctr. in Sherherdstown, WV on govt., leg., etc., in honor of Constitution.
Nice new pictures, Loretta, special thoughts today on your late father's birthday... (( ♥ ))
and Lynn, thank you for your picture post on your Lair also. Thinking of Carolyn and the rest of the 911 team at the site today... Prayers for the pilot, his family, and his teammates, and all the little excited children at the show.....
there's a part of me that wonders...would the pilot have wanted to show to go on... difficult decision to have to make...to cancel...
may the fireworks signify a celebration of the pilot's life......
I was on the phone with State Police dispatcher giving their agency a call for a reckless driver on the interstate, and heard, though the phone, and also on our radios... one of their officers on their frequency, report that a plane had just gone down
It was a terrible thing to hear
I went outside, and saw several other planes....no doubt, returning to the airport.... and perhaps, they were flying in tribute to the fallen pilot, I think they were
After work....I didn't want to just "come home" and be alone...
I drove to the nest and looked from the road... I saw the beautiful Eagles' nest...shrouded by Sycamore leaves.... did not see any Eagles, but did see a couple of woodpeckers, heard some nuthatches and bluebirds, and saw a Brown Thrasher on the way there
Off to prepare some hamburgers for dinner. My favorite meal!I dearly love hamburgers!!
Worked out in the front yard for a while, listening to thunder. All storms this evening are south of us. Still predicting more rain for tomorrow. However, it was nice to listen to the thunder and know that some who need rain were getting it.
I have been home since 4:30 and it took a while to warm up. We have a large covered pavilion so the rain was not a problem and after a while it quit Food was abundant and very good. Potato salad went over well so I will be publishing the recipe. All of the youngsters made use of all the play equipment right next to the tables. All in all everything went very well. The Peanut butter Fudge is to die for.
Hello all. I thank all of you for the kind words. I am ok. Crystal, the girl I was with today was more shook up than I. I had a bad feeling last night, I hate my intuitions, as I had one the night my house burned down too. Ugh, not a very nice thing to have!! Did get to see some of the planes flying as where I was stationed, we had no radio traffic to manage and I got up to look out the window a few times. Ready to get the sound of the crash out of my head!
Sorry you had to experience that tragedy, Carolyn, but glad that you are not too traumatized. Prayers for the pilot and his family and all of you that were there to witness the crash. Take care and we will pray that you will not have a lasting picture in you mind of the day~
So good to hear your doing ok Jewels that would be so hard Its hard just to see it on the news I can't imagine witnessing it I saw the picture on your blog Lynn
WVGALDANA Cool you got a hold of someone about the eagle We wait with baited breathe to hear something I will keep checking facebook I had also left a question about it with the person who left the info on fb so hopefully we will hear something soon
It was so cold here, in the house this morning, that Gene started a fire in the fireplace. We ate breakfast near the fire and it felt so good...wasn't it just a few days ago that we couldn't seem to get cooled off? Anyway, the fire felt so good that Gene has kept it going all day while he did Soup Kitchen paperwork at his desk, and I did my last costume orders, etc. at my desk. It is now, 53° outside and 76° inside. Fires in the fireplace is the only good thing about Winter...so relaxing!
Well I went to the b----h I almost let it slip the word OOPs I caught it before I published it Well I went and guess what it was a pretty sunset but I didn't have my Sim card in the camera it was still in the holder after I downloaded the alligator picture dummy me Only got 4 pictures memory is 5 and I was holding out till the end It is so nice and cool on the beach also
Loretta, Richard Dreyfus did presentation in two high schools in Jefferson Co. yesterday stressing the importance of putting civics lessons back in the school. Amen to that!
Oh, Judy, I did on the day that PALMER (I think it was Palmer) fledged. I drove down to the Nest and I saw something in the tree that might have been him/her, I tried to take a picture and my screen told me there was no card! I knew that I could get 1 without it, so that is all I got. Not enough to tell for certain is it was the fella. When I got home, Gene told me that I could have gotten 4 or 5...NOW I KNOW!
Margy, I think John would have wanted the show to go on....that would have been a more appropriate tribute IMHO. Sad..... News article said that the other planes from the team were directed to "another" airport--I guess Hagerstown or Winchester, where a chaplain and counselor were to meet with them.
I was shocked to read about the crash in Martinsberg Air Show. CBS had the huge fireball and I came to the blog right away...then one of my neighbours stopped by and we chaqtted and I just now can post. I read your posts and am glad to know Carolyn is fine with it, MARGY too heard it... Rough weekend this is turning out to be.PRAYERS TO ALL.
Lolly, tell Jack that "his" plane is still on my bucket list!!
Wanda, I'm sure the fire felt good. I had told Bill that there was no rush in replacing my deteriorated flood light sockets....told him today that maybe sooner rather than later now---I need that light to see to get firewood after dark! I DID turn on the gas stove last night!!!
Since there really isn't anything on TV to watch I downloaded a 30sec video of the baby gator and some picture of tonight sunset I'm thinking about putting a xtra sim card in the glovebox of the truck just in case this happens I have a small one that I don't like since it doesn't hold lots of pic I use 4G now and this is a 536
Hoda, that's the same photo I posted on my blog, too. I think all the news outlets pretty much have the same story. How 'bout that? The P-28 is as old as I am!
Carolyn, so glad you seem to have managed with professionalism the sad event at the air show today. Not an easy day.
Ah, the sandperson has indeed arrived. The night light is on for anyone needing to arise in the dark or coming in from the West coast. Restful sleep for all.
Bear Report Un-collared Donna is the only question after shots were heard in her territory yesterday. However, we remain optimistic. I sure hope she is ok ....
I think I heard that Il Divo is coming out with a new album...maybe a Christmas one. Or, did I dream that after seeing their appearance on AMGT the other night. I dream so much that I'm often, not sure if it is real or not!
Wanda ♥ Thank You for your kind words and the offer that I should have stopped by your place.... You're right, I should have! I could have shared with you, the sad disappearing of the pasture across from your house
I saw about 15 wild turkeys near the road coming back towards Berkeley County; they were popping out of the underbursh one at a time....crossing the road, to get to the other side ! LOL I stopped to watch, but there was a car behind me, so, I just had to wait my turn to go and move on
Got the Bee Gees on, Margy. Just finished the Jackie Kennedy special from earlier in the week. Very moving in a few parts.....memories sure come flooding back. Lots of names mentioned of people that my Dad knew and worked with. I think that awful day in Dallas was the day that a lot of us "grew up" so to speak. There certainly has never been another Camelot.
We are headed to 46 degrees tonight...tomorrow the temperatures in low 50's...I am supposed to work the Proctor Fall Fair tomorrow and it is supposed to rain...UGH!!!
Kathryn and I did something new tonight. We went to the local fire station and played bingo. We were a little worried when we paid over $70 for the privilege, but we did very well. I won $33 and Kathryn won $163. We were quite happy.
Shirley: according to "Fox 5 News" Martinsburg WV is not far from Fredericksburg... I think they intended to say Frederick....[MD] I wish we were that close to you!!!
Have been vegging tonight. Just did not feel too chatty. Think I am going to go get ready for bed. Think there has been just too much football and baseball on TV. ☺
Tomorrow church and then more football.
Hoda, they are predicting warmer than normal temps through December. Drought is going to continue. I do not like hearing those reports.
Sweet dreams! Wish Kay had made a personal appearance today...maybe tomorrow.
Well I sure hope that wasn't the DC Fox channel who made that mistake, Margy. They KNOW better. If they don't they shouldn't be in their jobs. DUH! We ARE a part of the National Capitol Region! As is Frederick and probably Fredericksburg!
Congrats on your Bingo wins, Shirley! I've never won a thing---and it IS an expensive form of entertainment. I find that I just can't keep up with the multiple cards that most people run, too!
We played on computers, Lynn. I think we were each playing 24 cards. You just put in the numbers and the computer tells you when you have bingo. I would have had a hard time with all of the configurations it took to make bingo--not just down, across, or diagonal.
They did have the cards, too, and some people were using both cards and computers. They also had all kinds of other games going on and some people were doing that.
Good heavens, after LOLLY's post I checked the fire map and there are 18 old fires and now 4 NEW fires started...sorry LOLLY. They don't seem to be able to get ahead.
This is so cute: been hearing about and now just saw---some pools are open to just dogs the last weekend before they close: Pooch Pool Party! Neat!! Those dogs look like they are really enjoying themselves! Hope their moms and dads know to rinse off the chlorine!
Watching the doggy swim on the news (Ch. 9). Basset hounds should not even be allowed near water without life jackets. Both Sassafras and Luna had to be rescued when they tried to go into the water.
Well I read through the whole blog today hoping to see Kay post, but I am sure she is exhausted and settling in at home.
Welcome Home, Kay ♥♥♥
I hope you continue to gain your strength back and feel better very soon. You have been dearly missed.
Shirley - Sounds like a tough morning for Kathryn, but glad to hear the evening ended on a good note for you two!
Another tragic accident at another air show. So sad, but thankful there wasn't as much loss of life in this crash.
Also thankful Carolyn was okay and safe through the whole thing. Kudos to you, girl!!
Lori - I am sure you've gone to bed for the night, but hope you arrived home safely with your temporary addition. You're so kind!
Jo - Happy to hear your picnic was fun and that the potato salad was a hit!!
And so we have the angel momster at work again?? Maybe we have a sugar momster!! LOL Our deepest gratitude for taking our sentiments and sending such a thoughtful gift to our dearest Kay!!
Nice nap, Paula!! That is what happens to me if I go upstairs and take a nap. It ends up being a half night's sleep for me!! Love to sleep!!
So this is my Hello and Goodnight post for today!!
May you all sleep well this Saturday night!! Tomorrow is another day!!
Hubby took Sassafras out in a boat and she had some notion that she could walk on water. Rus had to pull her back into the boat.
Susan was taking care of Luna for Kathryn and her roommate (without permission) took her for a walk and allowed her to go into the lake. A bystander rescued her before she drowned. Susan was not pleased. All I can say is that the roommate had a serious lack of common sense.
Now I've heard it all, Shirley! Computerized Bingo! What will they come up with next??? WOuld be easier if a "machine" finds the numbers, tho'!!!
Paula, are you WIDE awake???
I am not----getting bleary-eyed. Tub next on my list of to-do's...then finish mani-pedi and then snuggle into my electric blanket! Thinks it's time to put the flannels, at least, on the bed this week....better hold off on the fleece for a while.
Good night my fine, fowl friends. Prayers for all.....and SO glad that Kay is home. Hope you pop in tomorrow, Kay! God Bless us all.
Getting time for Nighty-Night. Hope Kay & Lori are snug at home!
Paula, you may be up as late as I am!!LOL Days I'm off work I sleep late & stay up late, too. Glad Kathryn & Shirley had a fun evening! Carolyn/Jewels, Glad to hear you're doing OK! ☺ Hope news next week is much better than this weekend. Been some bummer times.
Sorry, I didn't quite make it in time for a Saturday post, but hope some early Sunday rambling will suffice. I've skimmed the blog from Tuesday forward, choking up over and over again as I read about your concerns, your prayers and your love !
I will have to go back for some of the videos and special features, but it seems I'll have a lot of time to do so over the next two weeks. I'm sooo much better, but was far more ill than I realized and am now homebound, per insurance requirements, while I receive in home anti-biotic care through IV. A home care nurse spent hours here yesterday, cleaning the midline site, training Julie and me on the care of it and how to administer the potent brew once every 24 hours. She did an extensive interview and examination and I was exhausted when she left shortly after 4. I surfaced for dinner, but zonked right out again and am just now feeling like the old me is coming back !
Kidney infections are no fun and beware, diabetics, we are particulay vulnerable in that regard. Won't go back over the last few grueling days, but you don't ever want to go there !!! They were able to draw off much of the infection by needle, but there was some fragmenting, thus the follow up care in hopes of kicking butt on this "demon" by the end of the month.
As many of you know first hand, you may go into the hospital for one thing, but the side effects, dry raspy throat, cracked bleeding lips, overall muscular pain and fatigue are devastating. One by one all that stuff will resolve.
Again, there is no way to adequately thank you dear Momsters/Dadsters, for your prayers, gifts, cards...It's overwhelming and has touched me deeply. I love youse guys ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
News hound that I am, I'm completely behind on the weeks events. I see there is sad news for the Kennedy and Mondale families and for air show afficianados in NV and WV.
It looks like I have not missed any Belle and Truder visits--sorry MARGY didn't see them when visiting Sycamore Palace yesterday. :(
Happy to know LORI is safely home from the the beach and that DANAMO will be welcoming Aric home for a visit soon !
DANA WV, your heart was in a good place and I'm sorry you met up with some snafu at the hospital---I certainly wasn't unlisted and can't imagine how that all came down. Thanks for trying !
LOLLY, how thrilling it was to read of rain in your town ! Thank you, God !
Heading over to e-mail for some more Momster messages and will be back here as soon as my stamina allows. Thanks again, dear Eagle Buds ! My family finds you all awesome and are clearly grateful to you for friending their ol' mama !
Hi, Everyone! Gosh, it's taken FOREVER to get caught up here tonight! Gosh, it's been a rough day--prayers for the Kennedy family, and for Walter Mondale and his family.
Lori, how nice of you to transport CoCo to a rescue organization! Prayers for all those mosquito bites to STOP ITCHING!!! Today was the last day for me to babysit the bulldogs. Sis- and Bro-in-law should be landing at LAX soon. Prayers that it was a safe, smooth flight!
DanaMo, great news that Aric will be able to visit during mid-term break! Fantastic price on the airfare!
Prayers for everyone at the air show in Reno, and oh, my! Prayers for the family of the pilot killed at the WV air show! Prayers for Caroline, too!
Shirley, so sorry about the surprise furniture delivery this morning! Feel bad for Kathryn. Hope, too, that other arrangements can eventually be made for furniture storage. Congrats on the Bingo wins!!!
Oh, SOOOOO glad that Kay is back home! Missed you! Prayers for a speedy recovery! Thanks to the Secret Momster who sent the edible arrangement, too! God bless!
Hoda, I'm so glad you were able to go paddling today! Sounds like fun afterward, too.
Mema Jo, glad the picnic went well, and everyone had fun.
Margy, sending a (((HUGE HUG))) your way! Sorry you didn't see our eagles at the nest.
Prayers for Donna and her cubs. Thank God that all the other bears are OK!
Well, I'm up well past my usual bedtime, so going to call it a day. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Have said prayers for everyone, and every creature. Sleep well, everybody. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Oh Kay, WOW! I am sorry that you were so sick. It sounds like even being home you have much to take care of to get better. I'm glad they have a nurse coming to help you.
I really didn't plan to get up this early, but my phone alarm was going off and it was in the kitchen instead of being next to the bed. Once the pups hear it, they want to eat. Now they will hardly let me type I keep getting noses under my arm!
I'm hoping for a relaxing Sunday for everyone. I am going to go catch at least one little kindergarten soccer game. It's only an hour of my time, but they just love seeing me at their games.
Heading over to fb for some mindless game playing...
WANDA We have a guy that cleans out the pond about twice a month When he see signs of a gator he calls the state and they send someone out to capture it and it is usually released somewhere else or sometimes back in the pond where he came from behind the store The people feed in that live on the other side of the wall He has seen bones so that is why he calls Now its been over a year since I have seen one in the pond and he may not know about this little guy The little island that they use to lay on is under water being we have had all that rain and that is where he would see their foot prints now that its not there it will be hard to tell. The embankments is all grass so no feet prints to see So I am going to see if I can find out his name and company from Vickie in the office and I will call him to tell him about it. I know he has been feed by humans because he followed us along the fence line when he saw us walking He drew quite a crowd today so I want to make sure he get taken out lots of customers saw him also were shocked he was there
Its cool watching them trap them they just use a rope with a raw chicken tied to the end and drag him in and hog tie him really neat to watch I have see it only once and didn't have a camera on me I make sure I have it on all the time now just to capture moments I loved that I got the egret taking a shower in the pond a while back. That retention pond has lots of wild life in it when the Gators aren't around I noticed today no birds or no turtles on the embankments I saw some turtle swimming around today
HODA BURR so soon just seem like yesterday it was cold there your summer doesn't last long does it? it seems.
SHIRLEY Great haul in both your wining playing bingo
SHIRLEY OH what a close call for LUNA and I would not be pleased also Yeah I have made it through the nitely comment not to many so now I need to finish getting ready for work I flubbed up again this am coffee I put the coffee and sugar in the basket but DUH for got to put the water in the pot My head must have been some where else last night when I put on the coffee so I had to wait for it this am
KAY My Mom had the iv also when she had staff infection My sister did my moms for her, the nurse showed us how to clean and prime the pump and inject the solution in it in to the tube. I found I was to nervous to do it my hand shook so bad but my sister was not nervous with it and she did it just fine for mom The first and last time I tried it the (salaine soloution)getting the air bubbles out of the syringe hypodermic needle I ended shooting the one solution all over the ceiling so Connie did it no issues OK now it time to head out the door I so glad you
Yes, Judy, Susan's roommate was a piece of work to say the least. She once looked outdoors and asked Susan what those animals running around were. Susan said, "Squirrels???" I know they have squirrels in New York where this girl was from. She also asked Susan "What liquid do dogs require?" Hmmm--Water. (But to drink only if you are a basset hound.)
Strange. She moved on . . . I think maybe she went back to New York.
It seems that she was just standing there letting Luna flounder in the lake until the bystander came to the rescue. Luna was a large puppy at the time.
Kay, so glad you are home and on the mend. Sounds like you went through a lot of what I did with my liver abscess. Momsters loved me through that too. Eaglet Momsters are da bomb.
Why does 50 seem so cold? Couldn't figure out what to wear to Mass. Seems to early to wear winter outfits. Can't wear pants because I lector today and I don't like to wear pants on the alter.
DanaMo: black pants, is what I almost wore for Mass ministries, and a variety of tops....makes the decison making easier. Once in awhile, I changed it up and wore a dress or skirt...
speaking of shrinking clothes... wore a pair of Bibs yesterday that for the first time ever that I have been wearing them.... were snug ! Big Waaaaaaaah!
I'm catching up on posts and begin reading "I wish Lori would check in..." Sorry.
We got home around 5:30 and so much to do unpacking the car then just unpacking everything we ordered out and I feel asleep in the chair!
We are all safe. Dalai & Flo Bear are happy to be home. CoCo the adorable rescue is sooo cute and sweet. She will have surgery soon for her cherry eye. Poor honey.
So sorry for MARGY & Carolyn having to see / hear that plane crash. I couldn't believe there was another one when I turned the news on. Prayers for famlies and everyone there.
I was kind of afraid someone might ask, Wanda ! they are graden plants from springtime 2010 - pretty sure they are Megan Flowers.... have to scratch the grey matter and see if I can remember !
Blessed Sunday Wishes to you and the Captain and GG also ! xoxo ♥
Good Morning Everyone - It is a chilly morning here in the valley. So happy to hear from Kay and Lori - I didn't stay up late enough to know they had checked in! Good luck for the surgery on the cherry eye that CoCo will have fixed! I remember when Chloe had one when she was younger - healed right up after surgery.
Paula's eagle sighting is great. Hopefully a nest will be near by.
Good morning! Started reading the blog from where I said good night. Got to Kay's post and was THRILLED!!!! Kay, so, so sorry that you have been so ill. Bless you! Sounds like you are getting good care. We will continue to "pray you well"! Love and (((Hugs)))
Yes, Lori, you can change your avatar. Hopefully, we will get more rain today. Some of Texas got rain last night, we just got to hear the thunder. It was very lightly sprinkling when I went down to get the paper...hope for things to come later on today!
Something should really be done about shrinking clothes. In this day and age you would think the industry could prevent clothes from shrinking. lol And, Margy, I can not imagine your clothes shrinking!
PAULA....what a wonderful weekend! I just can not imagine seeing an eagle in my trees. That is just awesome!!! You did well picking your paradise home!!!
Oh, forgot to mention. On fb there is a new button to click on to see how your page looks to friends and to the public. Neat, in that you can make sure you have your settings correct. However, while doing this I saw two posts (in my name) that were NOT mine. They said "Lolly recommends", well, Lolly did NOT recommend! That is very irritating! I marked them as spam and deleted them and hope that deleted them off of everyone's page.
So good to see so many of you here both last night and this morning!
Sun is out, 58°....not nearly as chilly last night as the last few.
Kay, so glad you felt up to blogging for a little while!! You and Sharon can share abcess stories! Poor girls.
DanaMo----it is surely nasty that the shrink-monster invaded your closet. I'm with Paula...a long skirt when slacks won't do will keep your legs warm! Margy, YOU gain weight??? I bet your Bibs really did shrink!!! Maybe we all have left the dryer on high heat!!!
Shirley, Susan's roommate must have been a real ditz! Thank goodness for the good samaritan saving Luna!
T-bird: ♫ Are you ready for some football???? ♫ I am! Go SKINS!!!!
Lori, glad you and Kate and all the bullies made it home safe and sound. Any sign of the BV juvie???
Paula, you are one lucky momster!! Wouldn't it be awesome if they nested in one of your trees????
Susan was truly astonished at some of the things her roommate did and said. Susan thought that the woman had narcolepsy after she seemed to fall asleep suddenly and tried to get her to talk about it, but wasn't successful in learning much. But I don't know how narcolepsy would explain the other issues. She just seemed clueless.
I've had a bit of a sniffle since the weather turned c ool, and since I haven't gotten my flu shot yet (TOMORROW!!!), decided I would be smart to avoid being closed up in a room with a bunch of other people, so I am playing hookie from my Animal Advocates meeting today. My rider can't make it, so I don't have to be responsible for anyone else.....and it IS the first one I've missed since we started up in May of 2010! Plan to enjoy football and Nascar this afternoon!
Kay, so very nice of you to join the blog and bring us up-to-date. Very happy you are home and really hope the in-home treatment works quickly. Take it slow and easy.
Lori, glad you checked in and the critters are all doing well together. I'm sure you wish the vacation could continue but you have lots of great memories.
Shirley, so pleased you and Kathryn won more than you spent.
Jo, glad the picnic worked out well and the younguns had fun and the food was yummy.
Shrinking clothes? Hmmmm. Well, what can I say as I am already thinking about dinner. Maybe home-made mac & cheese with spicy sausage patties.
Paula, how very fortunate you are. Eagles and an osprey. Wow!
Carolyn, glad you are feeling okay after yesterday's experience. Thanks for coming in to visit.
Chilly here. Pulled a blanket on last night. Have a flannel shirt on today. Brrrrr.
Off to get some work done. Wishing all a lovely day.
Oh My Lynn - you caught me but hope you won't report me to the Man up stairs - Hubby went last evening to Mass while I got my energy restored and he's out for coffee and his morning run now. I did say my prayers earlier & talked to Him with thankfulness for family and friends in my life.
I looked up from the newspaper a minute or two ago and right there on the railing of the deck was a beautiful downy woodpecker - he didn't stay long but he made my day.
I wish I had company to have gone over to Market to see Megan and hear Willy Barry. That young man has a God given voice!
Good Sunday Morning DanaMo, JudyE, Shirley, OUR Thelma ( : GO RED SKINS, Sharon, Paula and her eagles and seeing still ospreys, Wanda, Margy our tomato gal, Lori, Mema Jo, Lolly you and Jack need to do another naked dance to bring those sprinkles in to full rain drops, Hedgie-Lynn/e did you use your electric blanket last night?
It was interesting spending time at the fire station. I can tell you that everyone knew when there was a fire call. There were 3 or 4 while we were there and that buzzer is really loud.
JudyE beautiful sunset..I think someone better be removing that gator HE IS GROWING !!!! How do they get in there JudyE if there is fencing all around...under the fence? Or is there connecting water that they can swim right into the retention pond?
Margy we use to have wild turkeys in here haven't seen them for a couple of year now. I miss seeing them.
Hoda I am praying it doesn't rain for the Proctor Fall Fair Today.
Wow Shirley you and Kathryn together win and Kathryn BIG TIME!!!!! So was it $70 each or all together..I checking out your winnings LOL Shirley thank God for the person that rescued Luna because I don't think that girl would have. Doesn't know what dogs drink?????? Ok glad she went back to New York.
Oh NO not 4 new fires!!! DANG !!! I was hoping the 18 old ones were burning out.
I like the dogs swimming too. I agree hope they remember to wash off the cholorine. Yes some dogs need swim gear.
Cute Hoda about the link of the 10 commandents for dogs.
So HAPPY ( : to see Kay dropped in last night. God Bless Her sounds like a terrible infection. Glad they went over everything at the house in good detail for Julie and Kay. Sounds like 2 weeks of home rest and IV medication. May God Bring Speedy and Fast and FULL RECOVERY Kay.^j^
Lori what is a cherry eye that CoCo has?
Paula I am reading "The Help" love it truly a good book!!! I am ready to see the movie anytime. I will still finish the book. On Paula it would be so neat if an eagle or osprey made a nest in one of your trees.
LOL, DanaWV, I've had the electric blanket on for several nights!!! Had to turn it up a good bit Fri. night, but was able to back it off to a lower level last night.
Jo, The Great Man upstairs understand your faithfulness and won't fault you one bit for missing Mass! WHen you say Ed went for his run....I assume you mean his morning visits, and not actually jogging, right??
Judie, Mac&cheese and sausage sounds good! Since it isn't raining, I am going to grill....now need to make up my mind whether to do steak or burgers!
Big news announcement for Charles Town: Richard Dreyfus' "Dreyfus Initiative" is purchasing the Charles Washington home Happy Retreat to use for the global headquarters of the George Washington Institute on Enlightenment!! It will be an "educational center for scholarship on, discussion and dissemination of, and preservations of the documents, history and principles of the Enlightenment." He refers to Washington as the "embodiment of Enlightenment values and thought. His entire life is a model for how the Enlightenment can be applied to daily life and to leadership." For info, go to: www.thedreyfussinitiative.org
Pretty neat!!!! So Dreyfuss is a Washington Scholar, and David Selby is a Lincoln scholar.....we do have some bright older actors. The young ones should take lessons!
$70 was for both of us. About $35 each. We got use of two computers, one paper jackpot game each, and one of those daubers to mark the paper game. Some prizes were as much as $500, and there was a $1,000 prize if they had at least 100 participants. We were trying to figure out how much profit they were making as they did give out a lot of money, but they were taking in a lot, too. They would not be doing it if they weren't profiting.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 583 of 583Well I think I will step out for a bit BBL
So there was two crashes at two different air shows is that righ??
now I am leaving I was just finishing up the comments that way I don't have lots when I get back Later Gator
It makes me wonder if he stayed with the plane. So it would not go into the crowd of people or even houses in the area.
Despite the tragedies, I love aviation in all it's varied aspects. I've been to about a dozen air shows and to the EAA Fly-in at Osh Kosh once (the year the controllers went on nationwide strike in the middle of it and Pres. Reagan fired them all)...and have never had a bad experience. I've flown in an aerobatic plane with a local pilot and done the loops, the hammerhead stall, etc. I've flown in an open cockpit helicopter....would never trade any of it. Haven't and probably won't fly commercial again since 9/11 because the airport hassle is just too much especially now for this breathless body)....but I truly have never felt fear. HEck, I owuld have gone on the shuttle if I could have! I was SO jealous when Barbara Mandrell got to fly in an F-16....why HER? Why not ME???!!!!!!
Dana, the angle of "attack" so to speak was very sharp...and well away from the crowd. He was coming out of a loop, apparently, and was just too low to pull up...TBD whether it was pilot error or mechanical. No way he had time to eject---even if he had, he was too low for a chute to open in time.
Yes, JudyE---yesterday in Reno, NV and today here in Martinsburg, WV.
Local paper's online account:
Air show crash
Back for a sec. Put a couple new pics in the nook!
Gotta figure out din din~~ BBL
I found this on the Wildlife Cente of VA facebook page about the eagle the other day
Alice Witt:
This is the eaglet that was hit by a car last night on the east side of Decorah. Two passing motorists stopped, contacted Bob Anderson, who rushed to capture it. Bob kept it overnight and SOAR's licensed rehabber picked it up this morning for the trip to its Rehab Facility for evaluation and rehab. They will post updates on their website. http://www.soarraptors.org/index.html
/the site to keep an eye on for info
I went ahead and made a link
I went on that site and there is nothing there at present time FYI ok now I got to go eat BBL
Loretta I went to your nook and what beautiful pictures Lady !! ( : Thank you for sharing. I left you a comment.
Thanks JudyE maybe they will list something later. There might be a contact email that we could send and ask about the Decorah eagle????
I sent an email to them asking about the injured eagle that a man named Bob turned over to them. That I believe it was found around Decorah.
I will let you all know if I hear anything back.
I have a yard full of big fat robins. Settling in for the night in their migration, maybe? And two thrushes just settled into the abandoned cardinal nest in the pyracantha---which is full of berries. Something hit the picture window in the office really hard---which is what made me go out to look!
BTW,on C-Span 3, American History TV, Richard Dreyfuss is broadcasting Live from the Robt. C. Byrd Ctr. in Sherherdstown, WV on govt., leg., etc., in honor of Constitution.
Nice new pictures, Loretta,
special thoughts today on your late father's birthday... (( ♥ ))
and Lynn, thank you for your picture post on your Lair also.
Thinking of Carolyn and the rest of the 911 team at the site today... Prayers for the pilot, his family, and his teammates, and all the little excited children at the show.....
there's a part of me that wonders...would the pilot have wanted to show to go on...
difficult decision to have to make...to cancel...
may the fireworks signify a celebration of the pilot's life......
Richard Dreyfuss spoke at a local high school here, yesterday, Loretta...
Thanks Margy, maybe it's a repeat!
Back to check oven~~~
I was on the phone with State Police dispatcher giving their agency a call for a reckless driver on the interstate, and heard, though the phone, and also on our radios... one of their officers on their frequency, report that a plane had just gone down
It was a terrible thing to hear
I went outside, and saw several other planes....no doubt, returning to the airport....
and perhaps, they were flying in tribute to the fallen pilot, I think they were
no LOretta, think it is probably a different program....
I can't go check it right now...but will try to soon
After work....I didn't want to just "come home" and be alone...
I drove to the nest and looked from the road...
I saw the beautiful Eagles' nest...shrouded by Sycamore leaves....
did not see any Eagles, but did see a couple of woodpeckers, heard some nuthatches and bluebirds, and saw a Brown Thrasher on the way there
I have that on television now, Loretta
Thank You....
am emailing with my brothers and sisters.....
I like your new avatar, Loretta
Off to prepare some hamburgers for dinner. My favorite meal!I dearly love hamburgers!!
Worked out in the front yard for a while, listening to thunder. All storms this evening are south of us. Still predicting more rain for tomorrow. However, it was nice to listen to the thunder and know that some who need rain were getting it.
Lynn, had to chuckle at you and the wish for a ride in a F-16. That is one of Jack's planes.
Pretty nice-sized gathering at NCTC for the program
oh whooops I'm sorry
I had thought this was at NCTC...
it is at Shepherd University...
what was I thinking/not thinking or reading
Going to step away for awhile
Best wishes and thoughts for a nice evening, friends
Jo...the picnic...did I miss a report on it ?
I have been home since 4:30 and it took a while to warm up. We have a large
covered pavilion so the rain was not a problem and after a while it quit
Food was abundant and very good.
Potato salad went over well so I will be publishing the recipe. All of the youngsters made use of all the play equipment right next to the tables.
All in all everything went very well.
The Peanut butter Fudge is to die for.
I am so very pleased that Kay is home - she should recoup quickly. To the
Momster Angel - thank you for caring!
So sadden about the plane crash at Martinsburg Air Show. Lynn the photo
of the fireball is horrific.
G☺☺d Report, Jo...
and YES, Welcome Home ☼HI☼ Sunshine, Kay ♥ ☺
Hello all. I thank all of you for the kind words. I am ok. Crystal, the girl I was with today was more shook up than I. I had a bad feeling last night, I hate my intuitions, as I had one the night my house burned down too. Ugh, not a very nice thing to have!! Did get to see some of the planes flying as where I was stationed, we had no radio traffic to manage and I got up to look out the window a few times. Ready to get the sound of the crash out of my head!
Sorry you had to experience that tragedy, Carolyn, but glad that you are not too traumatized.
Prayers for the pilot and his family and all of you that were there to witness the crash. Take care and we will pray that you will not have a lasting picture in you mind of the day~
I see in the comment above that KAY has come home. I will go back and try to find her comments.
PRAYERS ANSWERED!
So good to hear your doing ok Jewels that would be so hard Its hard just to see it on the news I can't imagine witnessing it I saw the picture on your blog Lynn
WVGALDANA Cool you got a hold of someone about the eagle We wait with baited breathe to hear something I will keep checking facebook I had also left a question about it with the person who left the info on fb so hopefully we will hear something soon
It was so cold here, in the house this morning, that Gene started a fire in the fireplace. We ate breakfast near the fire and it felt so good...wasn't it just a few days ago that we couldn't seem to get cooled off? Anyway, the fire felt so good that Gene has kept it going all day while he did Soup Kitchen paperwork at his desk, and I did my last costume orders, etc. at my desk.
It is now, 53° outside and 76° inside. Fires in the fireplace is the only good thing about Winter...so relaxing!
Well I went to the b----h I almost let it slip the word OOPs I caught it before I published it Well I went and guess what it was a pretty sunset but I didn't have my Sim card in the camera it was still in the holder after I downloaded the alligator picture dummy me Only got 4 pictures memory is 5 and I was holding out till the end It is so nice and cool on the beach also
MARGY, you didn't have to be alone, today. Wish you had stopped by here. We would have given you loving HUGS!!♥

11:05 is the comment from LYNN from KAY
now it bye
Loretta, Richard Dreyfus did presentation in two high schools in Jefferson Co. yesterday stressing the importance of putting civics lessons back in the school. Amen to that!
Oh, Judy, I did on the day that PALMER (I think it was Palmer) fledged. I drove down to the Nest and I saw something in the tree that might have been him/her, I tried to take a picture and my screen told me there was no card! I knew that I could get 1 without it, so that is all I got. Not enough to tell for certain is it was the fella. When I got home, Gene told me that I could have gotten 4 or 5...NOW I KNOW!
THANKS, JUDY!
Evening all!
I took a 3 hr nap! Fell asleep reading my book...gonna grab a bite to eat...bbialw
Margy, I think John would have wanted the show to go on....that would have been a more appropriate tribute IMHO. Sad.....
News article said that the other planes from the team were directed to "another" airport--I guess Hagerstown or Winchester, where a chaplain and counselor were to meet with them.
I was shocked to read about the crash in Martinsberg Air Show.
CBS had the huge fireball and I came to the blog right away...then one of my neighbours stopped by and we chaqtted and I just now can post. I read your posts and am glad to know Carolyn is fine with it, MARGY too heard it...
Rough weekend this is turning out to be.PRAYERS TO ALL.
There's my kid!!!! Hi, kid!
Lolly, tell Jack that "his" plane is still on my bucket list!!
Wanda, I'm sure the fire felt good. I had told Bill that there was no rush in replacing my deteriorated flood light sockets....told him today that maybe sooner rather than later now---I need that light to see to get firewood after dark!
I DID turn on the gas stove last night!!!
Carolyn...hope you sleep well tonight....rough day
Dug out a marie's dinner from the freezer...was looking for soup but I am out....well marie's will have to do :)
This is what CBS said about th Martinsburg crash AIRSHOW CRASH according to CBS website
Since there really isn't anything on TV to watch I downloaded a 30sec video of the baby gator and some picture of tonight sunset I'm thinking about putting a xtra sim card in the glovebox of the truck just in case this happens I have a small one that I don't like since it doesn't hold lots of pic I use 4G now and this is a 536
Tonight sunset and baby gator again
So now I am heading to bed nite again
Hi, Carolyn.
You had a lot of people thinking about you today. Glad you're doing okay. It was a tough day.
Bears Safe
Nice pics, JudyE.
Hoda, that's the same photo I posted on my blog, too. I think all the news outlets pretty much have the same story. How 'bout that? The P-28 is as old as I am!
Almost time for the sandperson.
Carolyn, so glad you seem to have managed with professionalism the sad event at the air show today. Not an easy day.
Ah, the sandperson has indeed arrived. The night light is on for anyone needing to arise in the dark or coming in from the West coast. Restful sleep for all.
Just missed you Judie
Good Night....
Good to see Carolyn-Jewels check in...
that is surely a good moniker for her... Jewels
Have you in our hearts, Carolyn, glad you could be there for Crystal...she is a Jewel as well !
that was more than a Panda Nap, Paula, it was whole family of Pandas-Nap
and what did Nick do...
take a little snoozeroo as well ?
Lynn
BeeGees special
MPT
9:30 - 11
Bear Report Un-collared Donna is the only question after shots were heard in her territory yesterday. However, we remain optimistic. I sure hope she is
ok ....
Love the Bee Gees music, but surely miss Barry:(
I think I heard that Il Divo is coming out with a new album...maybe a Christmas one. Or, did I dream that after seeing their appearance on AMGT the other night. I dream so much that I'm often, not sure if it is real or not!
Wanda ♥
Thank You for your kind words and the offer that I should have stopped by your place....
You're right, I should have!
I could have shared with you, the sad disappearing of the pasture across from your house
I saw about 15 wild turkeys near the road coming back towards Berkeley County;
they were popping out of the underbursh one at a time....crossing the road,
to get to the other side !
LOL
I stopped to watch, but there was a car behind me, so, I just had to wait my turn to go and move on
LOL, Margy---hope the turkey weren't going single file or too slow!
Judie disappears as quickly as she arrives.
Wish Lori would check in and say "we're home!"----it's not THAT long a trip unless they did lots of sightseeing on the way!
Missed saying hi to Jim!!! Hi, Jim! Your weather sounds perfect!!
Got the Bee Gees on, Margy. Just finished the Jackie Kennedy special from earlier in the week. Very moving in a few parts.....memories sure come flooding back. Lots of names mentioned of people that my Dad knew and worked with. I think that awful day in Dallas was the day that a lot of us "grew up" so to speak. There certainly has never been another Camelot.
We are headed to 46 degrees tonight...tomorrow the temperatures in low 50's...I am supposed to work the Proctor Fall Fair tomorrow and it is supposed to rain...UGH!!!
I have had a very busy day and I am actually feeling sleepy - My slumber last night was really early 6am this morning.
Good Night Friends
God bless and keep you safe from all fears and harms.
Hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Kathryn and I did something new tonight. We went to the local fire station and played bingo. We were a little worried when we paid over $70 for the privilege, but we did very well. I won $33 and Kathryn won $163. We were quite happy.
Shirley:
according to "Fox 5 News"
Martinsburg WV is not far from Fredericksburg...
I think they intended to say
Frederick....[MD]
I wish we were that close to you!!!
I'm waiting to see Lori too
Have been vegging tonight. Just did not feel too chatty. Think I am going to go get ready for bed. Think there has been just too much football and baseball on TV. ☺
Tomorrow church and then more football.
Hoda, they are predicting warmer than normal temps through December. Drought is going to continue. I do not like hearing those reports.
Sweet dreams! Wish Kay had made a personal appearance today...maybe tomorrow.
sounds fun, Shirley...
glad you could get out and have some fun...
is Hunter doing okay? With his Dad?
Hoda: Send the rain to Lolly, she still needs some....hope you do NOT get rained on Sunday
Good Night, dear Jo ♥
It would be nice to be much closer together, Margy. Not the first time someone has confused Fredericksburg and Frederick.
Hunter is with his dad.
I am reminded that the first time I saw a Bald Eagle, Shirley...it was in Fredericksburg....
at a lakeside resort community of some sort
long time ago
Well I sure hope that wasn't the DC Fox channel who made that mistake, Margy. They KNOW better. If they don't they shouldn't be in their jobs. DUH! We ARE a part of the National Capitol Region! As is Frederick and probably Fredericksburg!
Congrats on your Bingo wins, Shirley! I've never won a thing---and it IS an expensive form of entertainment. I find that I just can't keep up with the multiple cards that most people run, too!
Hoda, sounds like you will be getting our lousy weather---BUNDLE UP!
Rain Rain Go Away, don't bother to come again some other day. Go to TEXAS...
Congratulations SHIRLEY on the wins tonight.
I too am hoping to hear from LORI tonight, but maybe she has already arrived and was too occupied with the little puppy she is transporting.
It's bedtime.
Prayers for the losses in our nation and in our area here,
and for
Wellness Amongst us...
and of gratitude, for friendship here ♥
Get Your Good Sleep On, Tonight....
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
We played on computers, Lynn. I think we were each playing 24 cards. You just put in the numbers and the computer tells you when you have bingo. I would have had a hard time with all of the configurations it took to make bingo--not just down, across, or diagonal.
They did have the cards, too, and some people were using both cards and computers. They also had all kinds of other games going on and some people were doing that.
Good heavens, after LOLLY's post I checked the fire map and there are 18 old fires and now 4 NEW fires started...sorry LOLLY. They don't seem to be able to get ahead.
This is so cute: been hearing about and now just saw---some pools are open to just dogs the last weekend before they close: Pooch Pool Party! Neat!! Those dogs look like they are really enjoying themselves! Hope their moms and dads know to rinse off the chlorine!
Watching the doggy swim on the news (Ch. 9). Basset hounds should not even be allowed near water without life jackets. Both Sassafras and Luna had to be rescued when they tried to go into the water.
Watching the same news, Lynn.
This is from one of my favourite yoga Magazines Sorry About All The Poop
I liked LYNN'S post about dogs in the swimming pool.
Well I read through the whole blog today hoping to see Kay post, but I am sure she is exhausted and settling in at home.
Welcome Home, Kay ♥♥♥
I hope you continue to gain your strength back and feel better very soon. You have been dearly missed.
Shirley - Sounds like a tough morning for Kathryn, but glad to hear the evening ended on a good note for you two!
Another tragic accident at another air show. So sad, but thankful there wasn't as much loss of life in this crash.
Also thankful Carolyn was okay and safe through the whole thing. Kudos to you, girl!!
Lori - I am sure you've gone to bed for the night, but hope you arrived home safely with your temporary addition. You're so kind!
Jo - Happy to hear your picnic was fun and that the potato salad was a hit!!
And so we have the angel momster at work again?? Maybe we have a sugar momster!! LOL Our deepest gratitude for taking our sentiments and sending such a thoughtful gift to our dearest Kay!!
Nice nap, Paula!! That is what happens to me if I go upstairs and take a nap. It ends up being a half night's sleep for me!! Love to sleep!!
So this is my Hello and Goodnight post for today!!
May you all sleep well this Saturday night!! Tomorrow is another day!!
Sweet dreams and prayers for all! xoxo ♥♥♥
Hubby took Sassafras out in a boat and she had some notion that she could walk on water. Rus had to pull her back into the boat.
Susan was taking care of Luna for Kathryn and her roommate (without permission) took her for a walk and allowed her to go into the lake. A bystander rescued her before she drowned. Susan was not pleased. All I can say is that the roommate had a serious lack of common sense.
Now I've heard it all, Shirley! Computerized Bingo! What will they come up with next??? WOuld be easier if a "machine" finds the numbers, tho'!!!
Paula, are you WIDE awake???
I am not----getting bleary-eyed. Tub next on my list of to-do's...then finish mani-pedi and then snuggle into my electric blanket! Thinks it's time to put the flannels, at least, on the bed this week....better hold off on the fleece for a while.
Good night my fine, fowl friends.
Prayers for all.....and SO glad that Kay is home. Hope you pop in tomorrow, Kay! God Bless us all.
I saw Hoda's Poop post on FB and put it on Animal Advocates page!
Bye!
I will say goodnight sweet dreams and God Bless everyone.
LORI I know you are safe and sound back home. Do check in tomorrow so we would know how your trip home went.
Going to call it quits and head upstairs. I will see you tomorrow. Good night and God bless.
Getting time for Nighty-Night.
Hope Kay & Lori are snug at home!
Paula, you may be up as late as I am!!LOL Days I'm off work I sleep late & stay up late, too.
Glad Kathryn & Shirley had a fun evening!
Carolyn/Jewels, Glad to hear you're doing OK! ☺
Hope news next week is much better than this weekend. Been some bummer times.
Prayers for all and Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Sorry, I didn't quite make it in time for a Saturday post, but hope some early Sunday rambling will suffice. I've skimmed the blog from Tuesday forward, choking up over and over again as I read about your concerns, your prayers and your love !
I will have to go back for some of the videos and special features, but it seems I'll have a lot of time to do so over the next two weeks. I'm sooo much better, but was far more ill than I realized and am now homebound, per insurance requirements, while I receive in home anti-biotic care through IV. A home care nurse spent hours here yesterday, cleaning the midline site, training Julie and me on the care of it and how to administer the potent brew once every 24 hours. She did an extensive interview and examination and I was exhausted when she left shortly after 4. I surfaced for dinner, but zonked right out again and am just now feeling like the old me is coming back !
Kidney infections are no fun and beware, diabetics, we are particulay vulnerable in that regard. Won't go back over the last few grueling days, but you don't ever want to go there !!! They were able to draw off much of the infection by needle, but there was some fragmenting, thus the follow up care in hopes of kicking butt on this "demon" by the end of the month.
As many of you know first hand, you may go into the hospital for one thing, but the side effects, dry raspy throat, cracked bleeding lips, overall muscular pain and fatigue are devastating. One by one all that stuff will resolve.
Again, there is no way to adequately thank you dear Momsters/Dadsters, for your prayers, gifts, cards...It's overwhelming and has touched me deeply. I love youse guys ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
The fire has gone out in the fireplace...it is cooling off in here. Time to jump into bed and cover up with a nice warm blanket
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
PRAYERS FOR ALL AT THE AIRSHOW
Good Night, KAY...sleep well!♥
News hound that I am, I'm completely behind on the weeks events. I see there is sad news for the Kennedy and Mondale families and for air show afficianados in NV and WV.
It looks like I have not missed any Belle and Truder visits--sorry MARGY didn't see them when visiting Sycamore Palace yesterday. :(
Happy to know LORI is safely home from the the beach and that DANAMO will be welcoming Aric home for a visit soon !
DANA WV, your heart was in a good place and I'm sorry you met up with some snafu at the hospital---I certainly wasn't unlisted and can't imagine how that all came down. Thanks for trying !
LOLLY, how thrilling it was to read of rain in your town ! Thank you, God !
Heading over to e-mail for some more Momster messages and will be back here as soon as my stamina allows. Thanks again, dear Eagle Buds ! My family finds you all awesome and are clearly grateful to you for friending their ol' mama !
♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Hi, Everyone!
Gosh, it's taken FOREVER to get caught up here tonight!
Gosh, it's been a rough day--prayers for the Kennedy family, and for Walter Mondale and his family.
Lori, how nice of you to transport CoCo to a rescue organization! Prayers for all those mosquito bites to STOP ITCHING!!!
Today was the last day for me to babysit the bulldogs. Sis- and Bro-in-law should be landing at LAX soon. Prayers that it was a safe, smooth flight!
DanaMo, great news that Aric will be able to visit during mid-term break! Fantastic price on the airfare!
Prayers for everyone at the air show in Reno, and oh, my! Prayers for the family of the pilot killed at the WV air show! Prayers for Caroline, too!
Shirley, so sorry about the surprise furniture delivery this morning! Feel bad for Kathryn. Hope, too, that other arrangements can eventually be made for furniture storage. Congrats on the Bingo wins!!!
Oh, SOOOOO glad that Kay is back home! Missed you! Prayers for a speedy recovery! Thanks to the Secret Momster who sent the edible arrangement, too! God bless!
Hoda, I'm so glad you were able to go paddling today! Sounds like fun afterward, too.
Mema Jo, glad the picnic went well, and everyone had fun.
Margy, sending a (((HUGE HUG))) your way! Sorry you didn't see our eagles at the nest.
Prayers for Donna and her cubs. Thank God that all the other bears are OK!
Well, I'm up well past my usual bedtime, so going to call it a day.
Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Have said prayers for everyone, and every creature. Sleep well, everybody. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Oh Kay, WOW! I am sorry that you were so sick. It sounds like even being home you have much to take care of to get better. I'm glad they have a nurse coming to help you.
I really didn't plan to get up this early, but my phone alarm was going off and it was in the kitchen instead of being next to the bed. Once the pups hear it, they want to eat. Now they will hardly let me type I keep getting noses under my arm!
I'm hoping for a relaxing Sunday for everyone. I am going to go catch at least one little kindergarten soccer game. It's only an hour of my time, but they just love seeing me at their games.
Heading over to fb for some mindless game playing...
G☺☺D M☼RNING ÉÄGLÉ BÜDs Ö ö ☺
WANDA We have a guy that cleans out the pond about twice a month When he see signs of a gator he calls the state and they send someone out to capture it and it is usually released somewhere else or sometimes back in the pond where he came from behind the store The people feed in that live on the other side of the wall He has seen bones so that is why he calls Now its been over a year since I have seen one in the pond and he may not know about this little guy The little island that they use to lay on is under water being we have had all that rain and that is where he would see their foot prints now that its not there it will be hard to tell. The embankments is all grass so no feet prints to see So I am going to see if I can find out his name and company from Vickie in the office and I will call him to tell him about it. I know he has been feed by humans because he followed us along the fence line when he saw us walking He drew quite a crowd today so I want to make sure he get taken out lots of customers saw him also were shocked he was there
Its cool watching them trap them they just use a rope with a raw chicken tied to the end and drag him in and hog tie him really neat to watch I have see it only once and didn't have a camera on me I make sure I have it on all the time now just to capture moments I loved that I got the egret taking a shower in the pond a while back. That retention pond has lots of wild life in it when the Gators aren't around I noticed today no birds or no turtles on the embankments I saw some turtle swimming around today
HODA BURR so soon just seem like yesterday it was cold there your summer doesn't last long does it? it seems.
SHIRLEY Great haul in both your wining playing bingo
YEAH I see KAY posted cool beans
We haven't heard from LORI I hope she ok
SHIRLEY OH what a close call for LUNA and I would not be pleased also Yeah I have made it through the nitely comment not to many so now I need to finish getting ready for work
I flubbed up again this am coffee I put the coffee and sugar in the basket but DUH for got to put the water in the pot My head must have been some where else last night when I put on the coffee so I had to wait for it this am
KAY My Mom had the iv also when she had staff infection My sister did my moms for her, the nurse showed us how to clean and prime the pump and inject the solution in it in to the tube. I found I was to nervous to do it my hand shook so bad but my sister was not nervous with it and she did it just fine for mom The first and last time I tried it the (salaine soloution)getting the air bubbles out of the syringe hypodermic needle I ended shooting the one solution all over the ceiling so Connie did it no issues OK now it time to head out the door I so glad you
Yay! Kay has posted. Welcome back, Lady! We have missed you. Sorry you had such a bad experience and very glad that you are recovering.
Yes, Judy, Susan's roommate was a piece of work to say the least. She once looked outdoors and asked Susan what those animals running around were. Susan said, "Squirrels???" I know they have squirrels in New York where this girl was from. She also asked Susan "What liquid do dogs require?" Hmmm--Water. (But to drink only if you are a basset hound.)
Strange. She moved on . . . I think maybe she went back to New York.
It seems that she was just standing there letting Luna flounder in the lake until the bystander came to the rescue. Luna was a large puppy at the time.
Oh, excuse me. Good morning!!
Yay, more rain in Texas!
Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters.
Hi, Thelma!
Kay, so glad you are home and on the mend. Sounds like you went through a lot of what I did with my liver abscess. Momsters loved me through that too. Eaglet Momsters are da bomb.
Why does 50 seem so cold? Couldn't figure out what to wear to Mass. Seems to early to wear winter outfits. Can't wear pants because I lector today and I don't like to wear pants on the alter.
Kay prayers are sent your way. Glad you are hear with us again.
And please tell me; How do my clothes shrink in the closet over the summer?
Glad to see Eagle-Eyes Sharon with us this morning. ; )
Oh my, mysterious shrinkage of clothes in the closet. Yes, I know what you mean DanaMo.
Looks grey and gloomy outdoors here.
It is Buddy's fault.
What are we blaming on Buddy this morning?
That he woke Eagle-Eyes up.
All I can say is he knows his Auntie will take care of him. : )
He is sitting in the chair now snoring.
So, he woke her up and then went back to sleep himself?
Morning all!!!
Just saw a pair of eagles in my tree...they flew off!
Morning Paula. That's right stronghunter. : )
A pair of eagles on Paula's tree, now is that a good way to start the day, or what? Now you know why we call her place, Paradise:)
Yowling cats are sometimes louder than the dogs in this house.
I would love to look outside and see two eagles. How nice, Paula.
Yes, Eagles...a great way to start the day !!
Also nice to start the day with Momsters {and Dadsters, though we do not see enough of them on here ! ]
Good Morning Eagle Pals...
Lovely to see Kay posting early this morning...what an ordeal...we are happy to read you are on the mend...
♥
Waiting on Morning GLori
DanaMo:
black pants, is what I almost wore for Mass ministries, and a variety of tops....makes the decison making easier.
Once in awhile, I changed it up and wore a dress or skirt...
An eagle was flying out front a couple of minutes ago!
speaking of shrinking clothes...
wore a pair of Bibs yesterday that for the first time ever that I have been wearing them....
were snug !
Big Waaaaaaaah!
musta been the round-the-clock tomato sandwiches this summer
I agree with Loretta...
hopes and wishes for a BETTER week !
Paula....I'm on my way !!!
I hope you will discover there is going to be an EAGLE NEST in your neighborhood this year, Paula !
Counting 8 Momsters since daybreak....including JudyE who has trudged off to work
Oh Eagle Family forgive me!
I'm catching up on posts and begin reading "I wish Lori would check in..." Sorry.
We got home around 5:30 and so much to do unpacking the car then just unpacking everything we ordered out and I feel asleep in the chair!
We are all safe. Dalai & Flo Bear are happy to be home. CoCo the adorable rescue is sooo cute and sweet. She will have surgery soon for her cherry eye. Poor honey.
So sorry for MARGY & Carolyn having to see / hear that plane crash. I couldn't believe there was another one when I turned the news on. Prayers for famlies and everyone there.
Oh, that's right. I get to change my avatar!
Welcome Home, Morning GLori
it was posted that you probably had much to do with unpacking and caring for the dear doggies
Carolyn was on-site, Lori,
I was in the regular 9-1-1 building
about two miles from the airport
Thank you to Angel Momster for sending our KAY that beautiful, edible arrangement! You, secret Momster, have a humble and giving heart. Thank you.
DanaMO I know you are almready gone...but maybe a long skirt? And shrinking clothes...hate that!
Sun is trying so desparately to peek out...going out to pick up sticks and hopefully mow
Kay so happy to see your post...welcome home.
Stayed up til 2:30 reading my book! Nap kept me up late...but book was good and had to finish it....will start. The Help next
Well friends, I'm off to get my fill of all the pregame talk (shows). I hope you all make a great Sunday.
I change my avatar for KAY
this week
ScareSlug and some Favorite Yellow Flowers xoxo ♥
Paula..what book did you finish?
And, you will be drawn in quickly with The Help...
I am better than half way through now
Enjoy the Football Day, T-Bird !
Time for me to get the rest of my day going....
Best Wishes for a Good, Safe, Healthy and Joyful Day, Everyone

Blessed Sunday Wishes to you and the Captain and GG also !
xoxo ♥
Waiting on a new thread like I was waiting on Lori and Kay ☺
Good Morning Everyone - It is a chilly
morning here in the valley.
So happy to hear from Kay and Lori - I didn't stay up late enough to know they
had checked in! Good luck for the surgery on the cherry eye that CoCo will have fixed! I remember when Chloe had one when she was younger - healed right up after surgery.
Paula's eagle sighting is great. Hopefully a nest will be near by.
Good morning! Started reading the blog from where I said good night. Got to Kay's post and was THRILLED!!!! Kay, so, so sorry that you have been so ill. Bless you! Sounds like you are getting good care. We will continue to "pray you well"! Love and (((Hugs)))
Yes, Lori, you can change your avatar. Hopefully, we will get more rain today. Some of Texas got rain last night, we just got to hear the thunder. It was very lightly sprinkling when I went down to get the paper...hope for things to come later on today!
Something should really be done about shrinking clothes. In this day and age you would think the industry could prevent clothes from shrinking. lol And, Margy, I can not imagine your clothes shrinking!
PAULA....what a wonderful weekend! I just can not imagine seeing an eagle in my trees. That is just awesome!!! You did well picking your paradise home!!!
Time for me to eat a bite of breakfast and then to get ready for church.
Have a great Sunday!
Took a walk on the beach...still one osprey around...think its the youngster
Oh, forgot to mention. On fb there is a new button to click on to see how your page looks to friends and to the public. Neat, in that you can make sure you have your settings correct. However, while doing this I saw two posts (in my name) that were NOT mine. They said "Lolly recommends", well, Lolly did NOT recommend! That is very irritating! I marked them as spam and deleted them and hope that deleted them off of everyone's page.
JO, CoCo and I thank you. It is cool here this morning! Supposed to be 67 today.
LOLLY, I bet your plants are perking up already! New avatar. Love Calla Lilies
PAULA, cool for your eagle sighting! You have the perfect place!
FYI: FB from Steve Chase says he is headed for Denver today. Maybe new thread won't be until much later...
Good Sunday morning!
So good to see so many of you here both last night and this morning!
Sun is out, 58°....not nearly as chilly last night as the last few.
Kay, so glad you felt up to blogging for a little while!! You and Sharon can share abcess stories! Poor girls.
DanaMo----it is surely nasty that the shrink-monster invaded your closet. I'm with Paula...a long skirt when slacks won't do will keep your legs warm!
Margy, YOU gain weight??? I bet your Bibs really did shrink!!! Maybe we all have left the dryer on high heat!!!
Shirley, Susan's roommate must have been a real ditz! Thank goodness for the good samaritan saving Luna!
T-bird: ♫ Are you ready for some football???? ♫ I am! Go SKINS!!!!
Lori, glad you and Kate and all the bullies made it home safe and sound. Any sign of the BV juvie???
Paula, you are one lucky momster!! Wouldn't it be awesome if they nested in one of your trees????
Lolly, hope that WHEN the rain returns, there's no storm so that you and Jack can go barefootin' again!
Jo, are you heading for Mass this morning? Assuming you missed yesterday because of the picnic?
JudyE, how does the gator get into that retention pond?
Susan was truly astonished at some of the things her roommate did and said. Susan thought that the woman had narcolepsy after she seemed to fall asleep suddenly and tried to get her to talk about it, but wasn't successful in learning much. But I don't know how narcolepsy would explain the other issues. She just seemed clueless.
Margy, you have e-mail.
I've had a bit of a sniffle since the weather turned c ool, and since I haven't gotten my flu shot yet (TOMORROW!!!), decided I would be smart to avoid being closed up in a room with a bunch of other people, so I am playing hookie from my Animal Advocates meeting today. My rider can't make it, so I don't have to be responsible for anyone else.....and it IS the first one I've missed since we started up in May of 2010! Plan to enjoy football and Nascar this afternoon!
Good late morning everyone.
Kay, so very nice of you to join the blog and bring us up-to-date. Very happy you are home and really hope the in-home treatment works quickly. Take it slow and easy.
Lori, glad you checked in and the critters are all doing well together. I'm sure you wish the vacation could continue but you have lots of great memories.
Shirley, so pleased you and Kathryn won more than you spent.
Jo, glad the picnic worked out well and the younguns had fun and the food was yummy.
Shrinking clothes? Hmmmm. Well, what can I say as I am already thinking about dinner. Maybe home-made mac & cheese with spicy sausage patties.
Paula, how very fortunate you are. Eagles and an osprey. Wow!
Carolyn, glad you are feeling okay after yesterday's experience. Thanks for coming in to visit.
Chilly here. Pulled a blanket on last night. Have a flannel shirt on today. Brrrrr.
Off to get some work done. Wishing all a lovely day.
Oh My Lynn - you caught me but hope you won't report me to the Man up stairs -
Hubby went last evening to Mass while I got my energy restored and he's out for coffee and his morning run now. I did say my prayers earlier & talked to Him with thankfulness for family and friends in my life.
Oh, forgot.
GO 'SKINS!!!!
I looked up from the newspaper a minute or two ago and right there on the railing of the deck was a beautiful downy woodpecker - he didn't stay long but he made my day.
I wish I had company to have gone over to Market to see Megan and hear Willy Barry. That young man has a God given voice!
Hi Judie,
Ditto.
Go Skins!!
Good Sunday Morning DanaMo, JudyE, Shirley, OUR Thelma ( : GO RED SKINS, Sharon, Paula and her eagles and seeing still ospreys, Wanda, Margy our tomato gal, Lori, Mema Jo, Lolly you and Jack need to do another naked dance to bring those
sprinkles in to full rain drops, Hedgie-Lynn/e did you use your electric blanket last night?
Hi, DanaWV.
It was interesting spending time at the fire station. I can tell you that everyone knew when there was a fire call. There were 3 or 4 while we were there and that buzzer is really loud.
JudyE beautiful sunset..I think someone better be removing that gator HE IS GROWING !!!!
How do they get in there JudyE if there is fencing all around...under the fence? Or is there connecting water that they can swim right into the retention pond?
Margy we use to have wild turkeys in here haven't seen them for a couple of year now. I miss seeing them.
Hoda I am praying it doesn't rain for
the Proctor Fall Fair Today.
Wow Shirley you and Kathryn together win and Kathryn BIG TIME!!!!! So was it $70 each or all together..I checking out your winnings LOL Shirley thank God for the
person that rescued Luna because I don't think that girl would have. Doesn't know what dogs drink?????? Ok glad she went back to New York.
Oh NO not 4 new fires!!! DANG !!!
I was hoping the 18 old ones were burning out.
I like the dogs swimming too. I agree hope they remember to wash off the cholorine. Yes some dogs need swim gear.
Cute Hoda about the link of the 10 commandents for dogs.
So HAPPY ( : to see Kay dropped in last night.
God Bless Her sounds like a terrible infection.
Glad they went over everything at the house in good detail for Julie and Kay. Sounds like 2 weeks of home rest and IV medication. May
God Bring Speedy and Fast and FULL RECOVERY Kay.^j^
Lori what is a cherry eye that CoCo has?
Paula I am reading "The Help" love it truly a good book!!! I am ready to see the movie anytime. I will
still finish the book. On Paula it would be so neat if an eagle or osprey made a nest in one of your trees.
Hedgie-Lynn/e I am so glad that Carolyn is ok.
LOL, DanaWV, I've had the electric blanket on for several nights!!! Had to turn it up a good bit Fri. night, but was able to back it off to a lower level last night.
Jo, The Great Man upstairs understand your faithfulness and won't fault you one bit for missing Mass!
WHen you say Ed went for his run....I assume you mean his morning visits, and not actually jogging, right??
Judie, Mac&cheese and sausage sounds good! Since it isn't raining, I am going to grill....now need to make up my mind whether to do steak or burgers!
Good Morning Judie..Hope Darth is being a good boy. ( :
I have never used an electric blanket. Ed did summer and winter. His legs always brother him. I AM USING ONE THIS YEAR!! It is so soft.
KMart has them on sale.
Sorry JudyE couldn't give a plug to buy them at WalMart-Wally World.
Big news announcement for Charles Town: Richard Dreyfus' "Dreyfus Initiative" is purchasing the Charles Washington home Happy Retreat to use for the global headquarters of the George Washington Institute on Enlightenment!! It will be an "educational center for scholarship on, discussion and dissemination of, and preservations of the documents, history and principles of the Enlightenment." He refers to Washington as the "embodiment of Enlightenment values and thought. His entire life is a model for how the Enlightenment can be applied to daily life and to leadership."
For info, go to: www.thedreyfussinitiative.org
Pretty neat!!!! So Dreyfuss is a Washington Scholar, and David Selby is a Lincoln scholar.....we do have some bright older actors. The young ones should take lessons!
$70 was for both of us. About $35 each. We got use of two computers, one paper jackpot game each, and one of those daubers to mark the paper game. Some prizes were as much as $500, and there was a $1,000 prize if they had at least 100 participants. We were trying to figure out how much profit they were making as they did give out a lot of money, but they were taking in a lot, too. They would not be doing it if they weren't profiting.
