I second LYNNE 2's wish that those who will be at NCTC tomorrow get to see Truder and Belle. I can hardly wait to read the posts and see pictures. I also want to know about the menu at the cafeteria and how every one gets along...ENJOY.
Excitement reigns ! I think we who won't be there tomorrow are almost as excited as the Lucky Nine !
JO, so glad you got out for a color tour ! Central Ohio is about two weeks away from the breathtaking Fall colors I love so much.
LORI, relieved to get some word on your dear Mom, Nancy. You need more answers, but it sounds like things are on the right track. Yes, had a great time with Seth--you ask about the menu--Taquitos, refried beans and all the usual stuff that goes with. Breakfast was biscuits, sausages, O.J., milk, grapes... Julie and Hugh brought Chipotle meals over about noon today--we do like Mexican food ! They helped with some little odd jobs before heading home. Sweet things that they are !
DANAMO, equally relieved to know your Dad is coming along okay. Glad he has you and your Mom, two spunky gals, to advocate for him ! Love the pics of AnneMarie---what a doll she is !
HODA, you are amazing ! Seems like you volunteer for one good cause or another 24/7 ! I am in awe !
I had a fantastic time with June and Terry she didn't have to be to work till today so I had to stay a extra day We had a ball just driving all over Tn, VA seeing the colors I have sooooo many pictures
I just read where Angie said it was a 5.5 hr drive shows she doesn't listen LOL It is 455 miles I left this am in 32° BRR cold I had ice on my windows frost on the pumpkin if I had one LOL when I pulled out of their driveway didn't notice the ice then all of a sudden I could not see I pulled over and de iced Yieks that was horrible feeling not being able to see
JUDYE, Wahoo !!!! So glad you've arrived, safe n' sound. Get well rested for tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for you ! Can't wait to see some of those pictures.
I left June and Terrys about 845 and just got here a little bit ago Was a uneventful trip pretty pretty pretty colors I did several rest stops just to take in the beauty of the mountains
PAULA, you said : "Got up this morning...standing outside ...blue heron flew in and landed on the small island out front...then an adult eagle flew into the trees next door...appeared to scan the ground for a few minutes then took off. The sound of their wings is truly magnificent !" That just gives me a thrill---I'm so glad you have such a magnificent retreat !
Does anyone have an idea about tomorrow I don't know where to go on the blog to find out the details toooo many days to read there is only one computer in the hotel and someone was on it when I came in so I didn't have to wait at all by the time I parked and came in he was off I don't want to be a pig and hog it up so I am heading out just to check out the town and heat limit time is 15 min on puter I just read the sign to my right I will check back in and you all have my cell BBL I will check in the blog when I get back I haven't ate all day except a bag of nutter butter cookies so I am hungry BBL
No LOLLY yet today ? I'm worried that she is really way under the weather. Should look at the bright side and imagine she felt so good today that she made it to church and the auction as well ! Time will tell.
LYNNE, are you not feeling good today, or are you very busy---hope it's the latter. Also missing SHIRLEY as I read back a bit--must have have big plans with Kathryn again today---or is out spending th Bingo winnings.☺
Thinking of GG and her joyful household as everyone gathers for Family Night ! Hope all the Wright's have a right good time !
MARGY, can't wait to hear how you and the Kidster spent the day. So happy for both of you !
Looks like JUDYE and the other eight of you have some planning to do--will bow out and let you go at it, but will try to check back later so I can see what's up.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I am here! I am living! I continue to function. Went to church and after church we had the sandwich lunch and dessert auction. Raised a little over $1,500. Yea! My cake brought in $45. Guess I will go back to the cheesecake I have made for the last several years. It brought in over $100 last year.
I continue to cough and have lots of "gunk" in my head. I am taking Mucinex and ibuprofen. Do not feel the best in the world but I am functioning, like I said.
Just got off the phone with Judy She is cruising around Shep'twn! Found her way back Shepherd Grade Road and is now going to find something to eat. Afterwards, she will be here on the blog.
See JudyE made it!!! Hope you can get back on here or that you have some phone numbers with you of local folks---Jo, 2 Danas, Margy, Wanda, etc. Maybe we can call you there or vice versa. Last I heard (& I'm not up on everything), we were planning to meet at NCTC at 10AM.Hotel can tell you how to get there--very easy. BBL
I went to the NCTC grounds talked with the security guard ask if I could go in he said no I just told him I was seeing how long it would take me to get there well I wrote down the miles and time and for got to look at the time when I got back Air head I am Now I need to go walk out to the truck and see how many miles it was like I said CRS LOL I ate here at the hotel had ribe eye steak was good but toooo much steak
I guess I will just drive up there and wait for you all in the am along the road side I have a RED Ford Ranger with eagle and flag on back window it also has a trunk lid I guess is what you can call it
I drive a "tannish" color Suburban, with all kinds of magnets on the back! LOL! I know how to get to the gate, but not sure where to go when I go through it, I guess we will be directed where we are suppose to meet our guide.
Dad walked around the bed today! They said he is really doing well and will surely be on his feet for the renewal of his vows to mom! ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ They changed his pain medication and he is allowed to walk to the bathroom with an aide! Yes! Very pleased with his progress and so fast!
I am finally home. Been at Mothers and had to stop and get her something to eat. She is not feeling well for over a week now. So I got her some food and I eat with her to get her to eat something.
Lolly it would be fun if the cam was on and you could hear us laughing and talking. Oh well. And they are pretty strict about letting you through the gate. More on that, but I rather not post.
Sorry your mom isn't eating well Dana. Mine isn't either. Too much stress with the situation with my brother, she just doesn't want to eat. Now my dad! I invited her over for dinner today, and she declined. Not much I can do about that!
YEAY JUDYE is in W. Virginia...TOMORROW WILL BE A GREAY DAY.
Volunteering went very well. Marg was the woman who worked with me and she is a 15 year survivor.
We chatted and sold tickets on raffle tickets for a freezer and gave out information on Dragon Boats and Breast Cancer Awareness. It was very pleasant and there were many men who were supportive and donated. Time went fast and the conversation was good.
ok checking in I see the info regarding going in the gate and to the admin building and the name of our host I have written this all done and am now heading for a shower I'm not for sure if I will be back I am a little shy pj in public LOL I know I could just get dressed We will see
I forgot what the check key was my cheat cheat is at home Camera batteries are charging and I have two packs of AA if any one needs them they are the super energy ones for elec equipment The rechargable batteries that Angie had charged real good and that is all I have been using I had bought extra in case they didn't hold a charge but so far not opened either pack so I am packin lots of batteries if anyone use double A's I am wearing a sweatshirt and long sleeve I will watch the news to see what temp will be can't be any colder than what I have been in all week lo 30's but sunny in day time
Kay: I heard the repeat of Prairie Home Companion or at least some of it in the car today ☺ Sounds like a real good time you and the "boys" had and then also with Julie and Hugh, and some good Eats !
And everyone...have your photo IDs or whatever your IDs are, with you...just a suggestion, we have been asked in the past to produce those at the gate, not because it is US, but because, it is a Federal Agency... Don't mean to be pushy about it...but .... you want to have that with you
WOW! Just seeing if I can figure out tripod on newer camera! Aren't I an optimist?? Would only need to use that if trying to aim at occupied nest!! Highly unlikely at time of day we'll be there, but good to be prepared!!! ☺ So glad to hear from JudyE again. Gotta print out my phone list. Weather up there says 61° for the high & tonight's low 40° Brr.
Glad you liked the Indian pics. I really didn't think they were going to be any good---it seemed crowded.Had to show Talon again. He usually comes to the Jug Bay 10K run at Park in Nov. BBL
I'm going to check your pics here very soon, Loretta!
Also keep in mind, sometimes cell phone coverage is a little sketchy inside the grounds at NCTC - due to its general location, out on the road, is okay usually
Sorry I haven't posted earlier. It has been a busy weekend and I have been sharing my computer with Kathryn since Rus took hers to repair it. She got an evil virus on it.
The way I drive to Swinging Bridge is quite an adventure in itself, Hoda... up and down "Park's Gap".... pretty narrow road, but there are other ways to get there...just not as fun, and more congestion... "I can take three in the Blazer with me." ☺
I just slipped Jewels an email, and she responded:
"Mom" (Hedgie) and the gang are getting settled in, that includes Liesl...! She might use Frank's computer first, until she unpacks her own ! Oh Joy...!
LOL - Carolyn was talking to her Mom on the phone as I emailed her
Hello all from the OBX!!!!! Settling in and have been out to dinner, and now got logged on! Yippee!!
Our dear Thelma kept me updated on the LOUSY Redskins game via text...Boo hiss! :(
Have not read back at all....will try to get to it. Liesl was a very good traveler, but she had not pottied YET! Did okay on the other end.....going to try to take her out again now.
Congratulations to JudyE. Arrived in Shepherdstown, made her way to NCTC, had steak for dinner, and is likely about to fall into a much needed slumber. Y'all have fun tomorrow. Hope you see an eagle or two.
DanaMo, good news on your Dad's improvement. Hope tomorrow will be even better.
DanaWV, sorry your mom isn't eating well. Hope she feels better soon.
The sandperson is creeping down the hallway. Reminded me that tomorrow is an early day. Darth is having the second cataract removed in the morning so I will be with him at the VA hospital. Don't know how long before he can come home.
All those headed for NCTC, have a wonderful visit. May the sun shine brightly and warmly.
This is odd my phone works when it wants to in the hotel I got a voice mail I thought that odd from Angie and I noticed no bars I went out side and I have bars good out there parts of the hotel doesn't like my phone I just thought I would let you know Right now in lobby works That is where I had talked to all earlier going to to back to room for evening now and will try to text dau to see if I have bars in there Wierd I say Nite
Have been dealing with right ear pain for about 10 days now - no other symptoms, so it is a bit confusing.
Today it was pretty bad, so I called the clinic. They were able to see me at 10am, so I skipped church and went to the doc. No ear infection.....TMJ! What?? I was quite surprised.
Had some dear friends come over and bring in a bunch of wood to our wood room for Dennis. They stayed and visited afterwards.
Good to read LYNN. Thanks for checking in sorry about your team.
JUDYE when you are in teh mountains cell phone reception is variable. Find a good area and make your calls from there. It makes a difference which part of the flat I am in as t how many bars I get...
Good luck to DARTH with laser surgery tomorrow. PRAYERS.
Prayers for Darth on his surgery in the morning. Pray for all to go well. I have decided to have my second eye taken care of but going to do it after Christmas! Too much to do between now and then and with my record...I need time to heal after cataract surgery.
Lynn - Happy to hear you arrived safe and sound!! Have a relaxing week!! I know we will be hearing from you!
LORI - Thanks for filling us in on your dear Mom. I am so sorry she is in the hospital yet again. Praying that they get things settled in her stomach and she can go home in a couple days. (((Big Hugs to you))) You are ♥'d much, too!!
DANA MO - Guess you have a lot on your plate getting your Dad on his feet and out the door for his very special 50th Anniversary!! It's really great to have something to work for in his healing process!
Lil, my brother Billy's widow is in WV with her 90 year old Mom who is failing rather quickly. The doctor said she doesn't have long.
They are giving her lasix for heart and kidney failure to try and help keep the fluids from building up.
Her Mom is home, but we don't know how long she will hang on. I just feel so badly for Lil, since it has been not quite three months since she lost my brother (her husband). Now she is facing another major loss in her life. She is very close to and adores her Mom.
Please keep Lil and her Mom in your prayers. Thanks! ♥
Happy to hear that JudyE arrived safely in Shepherdstown. I know everyone will have a wonderful day tomorrow! Sure Hope Belle and Truder are around! Don't forget to show JudyE where she can park alongside the road and see the nest...she may want to check it out at sunset tomorrow.
Thanks to Jo for coordinating the nest visit...do enjoy! Wish I could be there.
Lolly, glad you made it to the auction and you are still functioning on some level!
Hoda, sounds like a good day volunteering!
Not sure if my post from around 9:30 posted...that I was home.
Oh, and saw another eagle during the afternoon. He landed in the trees on the right, stayed for a few minutes, and departed to the right.
If I don't get to post before you all are up and out in the morning, have a super terrific visit with each other and with Belle and Truder. I hope Belle soars high in the skies for you and graces you with her beauty.
Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures!!
May God Bless and Protect us all and the critters we so dearly love.... xoxo ♥♥♥
Just catching up for the evening. So glad to hear Lynn, Liesl & pals arrived at OBX! Paula's Paradise sounds HEAVENLY! Thx for swan tips, Margy. Will try to keep ears open at Park! Linda, sorry to hear about your ear! Gadzooks. Danamo. glad your Dad is better & you can come tomorrow. Hope Lori's Mom is doing better & WV Dana's Mom gains an appetite. So sorry if I forgot anyone~~~All are on my prayer list ^j^
For those of you hitting the hay, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;[>)
Well, I got through the first 200!!! Lori and DanaMo---glad to hear that both parents are stable. Whew! Cool to know that Lisa is down here somewhere, too!! Nice pics of of your pretty daughter, DanaMo!
Fog at my place this AM---33°; frost and 31° at Frank's!
More Prayers on the wing for Linda, and Lil and her mother...I can't remember what part of West Virginia they are in...another Momster here was dealing with TMJ in the past year...? I think, maybe it was Lynne
Loretta, I saw what I think were six or seven Snow Geese this morning, headed South, SouthEast
Weather report just mentioned possible T-storms Monday Afternoon...not real happy to hear THAT!
Lolly---hope you feel much better tomorrow. Glad you made it to the auction. We will do drive-bys in the AM and then let the realtor know which houses we want to see. Eliminated three today on the mainland, leaving three there to look at.
I am ready to call it a day so that I can go to bed and hurry and wake up to go meet Momsters/Dadster in the morning.
Prayers for Lil have the strength to carry on with her life. Prayers for Darth's eye surgery to go very well & heal quickly.
Lynn good house hunting and hope Liesl doesn't mind the sand on her paws.
I am glad you are feeling a little better Lolly, but maybe an antibiotic would really help. Congrats to you team - Just maybe they can capture the title.
Now I can say Good Night - I think I am the last one here..... All of you must realize that I will miss you terribly at our get together this time. Remember April and Hoda find a way to come here one day ♥
LADIES, DON'T FORGET YOUR EAGLE BEADS...YOU, TOO, FRANK!
We had an expecially nice afternoon at GG's. All but Jillian and Dustin were present (someone HAD to stay and watch Berryville:)
I've put a few photos on my JUST FOR FUN BLOG of our day at GG's.
GG made me a birthday cake, but couldn't figure out how to turn her oven on. She was crying when Denise got there, so Denise got it going for her:) She perked up and was a lot of fun.
Singe today is NEST DAY, here is the NEST WEATHER FORECAST:
Monday: Scattered showers after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 69. Calm wind between 6 and 9 mph. Chance of precip is 40%. Less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Trying now to get all my nest directions and cell phone numbers printed out since I will be coming straight from work. I'm so excited. I do have my camera sitting right by the door (no tripod) ready to grab as I leave for work and the car is packed.
MOM called last night, very happy and said, I might get to go home tomorrow (Monday), that is if she continues to have no pain and can eat solid, but no raw food. YAY! She never gets out earlier than they estimate. She was very excited. Me too!
Spent most of the day yesterday trying to get to get everything off my old computer and transfered onto my new laptop but (big URGH) my new one didn't want to recognize the Passport Backup with all the stuff on it. I'll have to wait until I leave to see if Kate got it done and if I can take it to MARGY today. Just don't want you to have to make a trip out here Margy, but then again, it would be fun to have you over!
Hi, Everyone, Getting here VERY late. It has been such a BUSY weekend! We watched the bulldogs, since Bro-in-law wanted to see his grandson's last football game in person, in Las Vegas. Went and did some Christmas shopping (it's been AGES since I've been to a mall!), and got a lot of other stuff done.
Belated Happy Birthday to Wanda's Denise!
Lynn, SO sorry to hear of the FF who passed away in his sleep! Prayers for his family & friends.
Prayers of healing for Lolly. Hope you feel better soon!
Shirley, glad you had fun riding the train and seeing the historical sites in Fredericksburg...and you won playing Bingo, too! WOW!
Hoda, sounds like you had a wonderful and busy day, too! I love how involved you are!
Judie, you sound happy & rested. Glad you had such a nice trip!
Wishing a Happy Birthday to Lisa!
WV Dana, Happy 89th Birthday in Heaven to your Dad!
Loretta, love your pictures, especially of Talon. The Indians' native costumes are so beautiful!
Lori, YIPPEE for your Mom's good news!
Well, need to try to get some sleep--an early alarm tomorrow. Can hardly wait to read about the nest visit tomorrow!
Have said prayers for everyone, and for all our beloved critters. The porch light is on, and both security systems are enabled. Sleep tight, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]
Should be fun, and the weather looks good for today. It doesn't look so good for my field trip on Thursday :( I wonder if I am going to have to postpone AGAIN!
Good morning!!! yes I am awake!!! I woke up thiking you all are about to gather and what are Eagle Beads? I come here and DANAMO asks the question and it is answered... GREAT. HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY. SAFE TRIPS ON THE ROAD.
THANKS LORI. I am so glad that your MOM is better and might go back home today. I am going to go give my bed another go...SAFE TRIP LORI AND OTHER MOMSTERS AND DADSTER TRAVELLING.
Hi DanaWV - she usually words mornings and I know she loves going out to breakfast, or said she enjoyed having it before she would hit the road while on vacation.
Ok talked with her she is not a breakfast person. If she was I wanted to introduce her to where the ladies love to eat breakfast. On the main street called German St. 112 E. German St. open 6AM-4PM BEST breakfast place. Can get breakfast all day if you want it. Betty's is RAVED about!!! ( :
Morning GLori: I would have re-emphasized to you NOT to worry if your PC was ready for me today... I see what you said you did all day yesterday....hope you got YOUR laptop working ... I know how to get to Frederick... ☺
RISE AND SHINE, LADIES...THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE, LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN IT! We will be rejoicing all day long:) See you all soon♥
Aha ! Sounds like DANAMO and JUDYE will be earning their Eagle Beads today ! Good job, Scouts !☺ I'm so excited for you all !
Happy to see, upon reading back, that LOLLY felt well enough to enjoy her Sunday activities. The Cowboys and the Rangers both provided big morale boosters, too !
LYNNE, glad to get your assurance that you're O.K.--you just didn't seem yourself yesterday. Now today, if I remember right, you are off work and heading back to the car dealer. Praying all goes well and the mess is straightened out once and for all.
MARGY, I knew you'd have a good time with James--we're so lucky to have such loving grandsons. I love it that you are enjoying PHC along with Seth and me ! Wasn't John Lithgow a great guest ?
LYNN, big sigh of relief to read that you, Liesl and your friends are safely at the OBX. Hoping you find just the right property for your needs. How's the knee feeling after traveling, etc. ?
LINDA, woe is me, TMJ, never had it but I hear it's very painful. Hope you're seeing a specialist soon---hey, that might even be the reason for some of the headaches !
JUDIE, thinking of Darth today as he gets that 2nd cataract taken care of. As far as I'm concerned it's a miracle surgery--had my two done in 2006 and now wear glasses only for close up reading. I didn't realize how much I was missing til' that was taken care of !
I hafta share a Gnigty Household hint. Gnats have been driving me Gnuts for the last week. Must be due to the wet and warm Fall we're having--can't stand outside for a neighborly visit without being swarmed. Of course some of them find their way in each time a door is opened and possibly through vents. I was seeing them throughout the house. Went to HowTo.com and followed their home remedy. Placed bowls of Apple Cider Vinegar laced with a dollop of Dawn around the house. Voila`, within five minutes they began to dive into the sticky goop for a watery grave. Left the stuff out for about 6 hours and had about 30 of the little buggers to dispose of. See a few flying around today and so have just put out a new round of their favorite "Kool-aid". Heh, heh, heh !
I meant gnifty ! Thanks for the big hug, gLORI ! Hope you'll hear good news from your Mom today so that this is a RED LETTER day for you from start to finish !
WANDA, just took a look at your great pics of Family Night ! What a wonderful family ! A bit aawww over GG crying about the oven problem. She is soooo sweet !
Yes, DANAWV, Diann and her pain are of concern to us all. Our prayer list is mighty long, but I know God takes the time to listen as we call upon Him with our Momster requests ! Hallelujah !
Asking for some special prayers for my Mother. Her bones are giving her a terrible problem. Don't know if arthritis or entrapped nerves. No a doctor she won't go to. I have been going in an spending a lot of time. Taking her in precious weeks places she needed to go. She can hardly open her own front door. She does feel a little better when she takes Aleve but she doesn't want to take it all the time. She is sort of "old school"-God will heal me if HE wants to. I believe that is true. Yet would love for her to see doctor. So I just follow what she wants. She is 85 yrs. old in May will be 86. Love you Mom♥♥
DANAWV, today's plan includes continueing the fight against gnats and lurking right here as I seek info on what you and the other 8 are experiencing. Hopefully others, as in, SHIRLEY, THELMA, HODA, LOLLY, LINDA and more will hold down the fort along with me while you are having a grand time at NCTC. LYNN is off having fun---LYNNE and JUDIE have important things to do--perhaps JIM and ANDY will say hey at some point--yeh, it promises to be a good Momster/Dadster day !
Prayers for your Mom, DANA WV ! Perhaps you can convince her that God has guided and directed the medical profession and expects that we will take advantage of all they've accomplished toward relieving pain. The old adage, "God helps those who help themselves" comes to mind.
Hi THELMA ! Nice to "see" your cheerful self ! I do hope you and the rest of the Southern Delegation are planning on going to the Open House in April ! We need to meet and enjoy our Eagles together !
DanaMo she has her scheduled doctors appointment. Before which time she follows how God tells her to treat her health problems. Don't ask me (It can only be GOD) before her appointment is due. She is healed usually. She does know by my father working in a hospital, and me working in a hospital, and her taking care of people about God and HIS doctors. Thanks anyhow.
SHIRLEY, I read the same method can be used outside at the picnic table, etc.. I'm so pleased with a simple and non-toxic solution. Sorry Gnats, I know you're God's creation, too, but......
In talking to my neighbors I find some of them calling them fruit flies, but these are just plain ol' gnats. Why do they like to dive bomb us ? I think I need to clean and spray the little lobby for this fourplex today. Maybe I can figure out a place to set out a dish of the deadly brew there, too.
I'm sitting in lobby listening to the sounds of a water fall tinkling in the water and guess where I need to go LOL yep off the the little girls room Time is getting close I am so excited a little over a hour and counting
Okay, Flash went under the front porch again and got his lead tangled under there again. This time I can't get it out. At least Flash got out. Once he got stuck under there and Will had to crawl under and get him.
Dogs will be put out in the back only for now.
When we get the lead untangled, I will need to block off the entrance to the underporch again.
SHIRLEY, it sounds like fencing is going to solve a lot of your problems. When is it going to be installed ? You are a very active retiree, what with Hunter, the pets, bowling... !
Yeah, the count down is on and you won't be alone for long JUDY !
JO, we thank you ! Yes, we stay at homes are soooo looking forward to pictures of this momentus day !

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 391 of 391Oh DanaMO, sure hope you guys see the eagles!!
I second LYNNE 2's wish that those who will be at NCTC tomorrow get to see Truder and Belle. I can hardly wait to read the posts and see pictures. I also want to know about the menu at the cafeteria and how every one gets along...ENJOY.
Off to volunteer work.
BBL
Wow DanaMo - looks like there are a lot
of nappers on here or else they are out
like I was enjoying the fall colors.
Do you need any further information for tomorrow - ?
Dana has just called me to say that she reached Judy in the parking lot of the
Clarion.
Judy made it to W V
YAY!
Excitement reigns ! I think we who won't be there tomorrow are almost as excited as the Lucky Nine !
JO, so glad you got out for a color tour ! Central Ohio is about two weeks away from the breathtaking Fall colors I love so much.
LORI, relieved to get some word on your dear Mom, Nancy. You need more answers, but it sounds like things are on the right track. Yes, had a great time with Seth--you ask about the menu--Taquitos, refried beans and all the usual stuff that goes with. Breakfast was biscuits, sausages, O.J., milk, grapes... Julie and Hugh brought Chipotle meals over about noon today--we do like Mexican food ! They helped with some little odd jobs before heading home. Sweet things that they are !
DANAMO, equally relieved to know your Dad is coming along okay. Glad he has you and your Mom, two spunky gals, to advocate for him ! Love the pics of AnneMarie---what a doll she is !
HODA, you are amazing ! Seems like you volunteer for one good cause or another 24/7 ! I am in awe !
I am here at the hotel I am pooped
I had a fantastic time with June and Terry she didn't have to be to work till today so I had to stay a extra day We had a ball just driving all over Tn, VA seeing the colors I have sooooo many pictures
I just read where Angie said it was a 5.5 hr drive shows she doesn't listen LOL It is 455 miles I left this am in 32° BRR cold I had ice on my windows frost on the pumpkin if I had one LOL when I pulled out of their driveway didn't notice the ice then all of a sudden I could not see I pulled over and de iced Yieks that was horrible feeling not being able to see
JUDYE, Wahoo !!!! So glad you've arrived, safe n' sound. Get well rested for tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for you ! Can't wait to see some of those pictures.
I left June and Terrys about 845 and just got here a little bit ago Was a uneventful trip pretty pretty pretty colors I did several rest stops just to take in the beauty of the mountains
PAULA, you said : "Got up this morning...standing outside ...blue heron flew in and landed on the small island out front...then an adult eagle flew into the trees next door...appeared to scan the ground for a few minutes then took off. The sound of their wings is truly magnificent !" That just gives me a thrill---I'm so glad you have such a magnificent retreat !
Does anyone have an idea about tomorrow I don't know where to go on the blog to find out the details toooo many days to read there is only one computer in the hotel and someone was on it when I came in so I didn't have to wait at all by the time I parked and came in he was off I don't want to be a pig and hog it up so I am heading out just to check out the town and heat limit time is 15 min on puter I just read the sign to my right I will check back in and you all have my cell BBL I will check in the blog when I get back I haven't ate all day except a bag of nutter butter cookies so I am hungry BBL
No LOLLY yet today ? I'm worried that she is really way under the weather. Should look at the bright side and imagine she felt so good today that she made it to church and the auction as well ! Time will tell.
LYNNE, are you not feeling good today, or are you very busy---hope it's the latter. Also missing SHIRLEY as I read back a bit--must have have big plans with Kathryn again today---or is out spending th Bingo winnings.☺
Thinking of GG and her joyful household as everyone gathers for Family Night ! Hope all the Wright's have a right good time !
MARGY, can't wait to hear how you and the Kidster spent the day. So happy for both of you !
Looks like JUDYE and the other eight of you have some planning to do--will bow out and let you go at it, but will try to check back later so I can see what's up.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I am here! I am living! I continue to function. Went to church and after church we had the sandwich lunch and dessert auction. Raised a little over $1,500. Yea! My cake brought in $45. Guess I will go back to the cheesecake I have made for the last several years. It brought in over $100 last year.
I continue to cough and have lots of "gunk" in my head. I am taking Mucinex and ibuprofen. Do not feel the best in the world but I am functioning, like I said.
I'm here Kay...trying to keep busy, lots to do around here. I feel like we are in disaster mode at the moment!
Lynne, I do hope no new disaster has befallen on you and Steve. I think you have had enough!
Just got off the phone with Judy
She is cruising around Shep'twn!
Found her way back Shepherd Grade Road
and is now going to find something to eat. Afterwards, she will be here on the
blog.
I am going to dinner BBILW
I know she is excited, Jo, about seeing such a great group tomorrow.
Wish we had a cam with sound, so we could hear you laughing at the nest. I loved that!
I am trying to watch the Cowboys, but getting sleepy. Think I will take a quick cat nap!
Good Afternoon again. Got my Indian Festival pics on blog, I hope! 3 Sets.
BBL----gotta do din din ☺
Heading home catch yaa on the flip side
See JudyE made it!!!
Hope you can get back on here or that you have some phone numbers with you of local folks---Jo, 2 Danas, Margy, Wanda, etc.
Maybe we can call you there or vice versa.
Last I heard (& I'm not up on everything), we were planning to meet at NCTC at 10AM.Hotel can tell you how to get there--very easy.
BBL
Jo, I just read back & saw you talked to Judye, YEAYYYYY!
Gonna make sure I have all batteries charged!
I went to the NCTC grounds talked with the security guard ask if I could go in he said no I just told him I was seeing how long it would take me to get there well I wrote down the miles and time and for got to look at the time when I got back Air head I am Now I need to go walk out to the truck and see how many miles it was like I said CRS LOL I ate here at the hotel had ribe eye steak was good but toooo much steak
Oh I forgot to say I didn't get to go in he said No I said see ya tommorrow
I guess I will just drive up there and wait for you all in the am along the road side I have a RED Ford Ranger with eagle and flag on back window it also has a trunk lid I guess is what you can call it
I'll check in with you all later
Judy, you are going to have so much fun tomorrow. Going to be with a great group!
Loretta the pictures you have posted
are wonderful! Talon and then the
dress of the Indians! Beautiful...♥
Yes, great pictures, Loretta. Would have loved to have been there. Have fun tomorrow! (((Hugs))) for all that are going!
I drive a "tannish" color Suburban, with all kinds of magnets on the back! LOL! I know how to get to the gate, but not sure where to go when I go through it, I guess we will be directed where we are suppose to meet our guide.
Dad walked around the bed today! They said he is really doing well and will surely be on his feet for the renewal of his vows to mom! ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ They changed his pain medication and he is allowed to walk to the bathroom with an aide! Yes! Very pleased with his progress and so fast!
I am finally home. Been at Mothers and had to stop and get her something to eat. She is not feeling well for over a week now. So I got her some food and I eat with her to get her to eat something.
Lolly it would be fun if the cam was on and you could hear us laughing and talking. Oh well.
And they are pretty strict about letting you through the gate. More on that, but I rather not post.
Sorry your mom isn't eating well Dana. Mine isn't either. Too much stress with the situation with my brother, she just doesn't want to eat. Now my dad! I invited her over for dinner today, and she declined. Not much I can do about that!
WE ARE TO MEET AT 10AM AT THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING ASK THE GUIDE WHICH PARKING LOT TO PARK IN FOR THAT BUILDING. HE WILL DIRECT YOU. JUST WAIT THERE ON THE PORCH OR RIGHT INSIDE DOOR IF TOO COLD.
1-cameras - batteries-or charged battery
2- binoculars
3- wear your eagle beads
4- might have to dress WARM
YEAY JUDYE is in W. Virginia...TOMORROW WILL BE A GREAY DAY.
Volunteering went very well. Marg was the woman who worked with me and she is a 15 year survivor.
We chatted and sold tickets on raffle tickets for a freezer and gave out information on Dragon Boats and Breast Cancer Awareness. It was very pleasant and there were many men who were supportive and donated. Time went fast and the conversation was good.
Camera √
Binoculars √
Eagle beads ????
Warm clothes-√ √ √ I hate being cold!
Don't forget your Lunch Money....♥
Don't forget your list of everyone's cell phone! (in case you get lost) ♥
In the Admin bldg is a room filled with
items of interest - If your early go on in and give you name to the receptionist
to the left
Our host is Marie Brady
We are probably not going to see Steve Chase due to his schedule.
money √
SAFE TRIP PAULA.
Lynn2 it sure would be the best if I could see my first eagle with my eagle buds!
ok checking in I see the info regarding going in the gate and to the admin building and the name of our host I have written this all done and am now heading for a shower I'm not for sure if I will be back I am a little shy pj in public LOL I know I could just get dressed We will see
I loved the picture Loretta
Welcome to West Virginia, JudyE!
Good Evening Eagle Pals...
sounds like everything is taking shape for the morning.
From Clarion to NCTC is about 5 miles or less, JudyE...
My Blazer is clean, it actually looks white again ☺
Good Evening Eagle Pals xoxo ♥
OH LOL I already said that !!
I guess someone texted the unfortunate score of the Redskins game to Hedgie :(
Well, Maybe the Ravens will win Monday night !!
Day with the Kidster was fun...he had actually spent part of the week-end in Terra Alta!
We stayed in Berkeley Springs, but will come down here Tuesday afternoon, to see his Asters !
JudyE:
and anyone else who might be interested...
depending on when we leave NCTC - I would be willing to lead a drive out to Swinging Bridge....
I forgot what the check key was my cheat cheat is at home
Camera batteries are charging and I have two packs of AA if any one needs them they are the super energy ones for elec equipment The rechargable batteries that Angie had charged real good and that is all I have been using I had bought extra in case they didn't hold a charge but so far not opened either pack so I am packin lots of batteries if anyone use double A's I am wearing a sweatshirt and long sleeve I will watch the news to see what temp will be can't be any colder than what I have been in all week lo 30's but sunny in day time
Kay:
I heard the repeat of Prairie Home Companion or at least some of it in the car today ☺
Sounds like a real good time you and the "boys" had and then also with Julie and Hugh, and some good Eats !
I'm game for any adventures I am leaving Tue
It might be a little overcast...but I think it will warm up comfortably Monday hereabouts, maybe a [slight] chance of rain in the afternoon
so go for layers
In case I don't check back in nite to all and I will see ya in the am
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting somekind of a battle."
And everyone...have your photo IDs
or whatever your IDs are, with you...just a suggestion, we have been asked in the past to produce those at the gate, not because it is US, but because, it is a Federal Agency...
Don't mean to be pushy about it...but ....
you want to have that with you
WOW! Just seeing if I can figure out tripod on newer camera! Aren't I an optimist?? Would only need to use that if trying to aim at occupied nest!! Highly unlikely at time of day we'll be there, but good to be prepared!!! ☺
So glad to hear from JudyE again.
Gotta print out my phone list.
Weather up there says 61° for the high & tonight's low 40° Brr.
Glad you liked the Indian pics. I really didn't think they were going to be any good---it seemed crowded.Had to show Talon again. He usually comes to the Jug Bay 10K run at Park in Nov.
BBL
I'm going to check your pics here very soon, Loretta!
Also keep in mind, sometimes cell phone coverage is a little sketchy inside the grounds at NCTC -
due to its general location, out on the road, is okay usually
Hello,
Sorry I haven't posted earlier. It has been a busy weekend and I have been sharing my computer with Kathryn since Rus took hers to repair it. She got an evil virus on it.
Looking forward to all of the accounts of the gathering and nest visit tomorrow. Wish I could be with you.
Great pictures LORETTA. I enjoyed the video of the dance ...the sound is AWESOME.
WOW!!! NOW SWINGING BRIDGE IS included in tomorrow's events...ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY.
so do I, Shirley...wish you could be there...and Everyone else too...
there will be another time,
in the Springtime for sure !!
When - hopefully - there will be some baby eagles to watch, and busy parents feeding them !
Loretta
magnificent photo journal of the Native American Indian Festival, thank you so much for sharing the pictures
DanaWV, sorry to read you Mom has not been feeling so well, hope that improves very quickly !
Sitting here with my laptop, watching the Rangers play. Cowboy game was great! I am beginning to feel a sports overload!
The way I drive to Swinging Bridge is quite an adventure in itself, Hoda...
up and down "Park's Gap"....
pretty narrow road, but there are other ways to get there...just not as fun, and more congestion...
"I can take three in the Blazer with me." ☺
Shirley
One of my worst fears is that my dinosaur would get an evil virus!
Sure would shut down a major line of communication !
Lolly
glad you could do your church and auction things today...
so, tomorrow? Doctor's ??
I just slipped Jewels an email, and she responded:
"Mom" (Hedgie) and the gang are getting settled in, that includes Liesl...!
She might use Frank's computer first, until she unpacks her own !
Oh Joy...!
LOL - Carolyn was talking to her Mom on the phone as I emailed her
Thanks again to Jo
for coordinating all the arrangements for Monday's Adventure
xoxo ♥
Hello all from the OBX!!!!!
Settling in and have been out to dinner, and now got logged on! Yippee!!
Our dear Thelma kept me updated on the LOUSY Redskins game via text...Boo hiss! :(
Have not read back at all....will try to get to it. Liesl was a very good traveler, but she had not pottied YET! Did okay on the other end.....going to try to take her out again now.
Welcome "Home away from Home," Lynn!
Bet you won't have frost in the morning there !!!
Hi Lynn! Glad you made it down there safely and glad Liesl was a great traveler. Have a great week. What's on the agenda for tomorrow?
Hello down South to Lynn and Liesl!!
Enjoy!
Stay Warm!
Miss you already....... ♥
Hi, Lynn. I just sent you a text, but figured you already had the information.
Good evening, everyone.
Congratulations to JudyE. Arrived in Shepherdstown, made her way to NCTC, had steak for dinner, and is likely about to fall into a much needed slumber. Y'all have fun tomorrow. Hope you see an eagle or two.
DanaMo, good news on your Dad's improvement. Hope tomorrow will be even better.
DanaWV, sorry your mom isn't eating well. Hope she feels better soon.
Feel better Lolly.
Shirley, may tomorrow be a calmer day for you.
Hi Lowreeda.
The sandperson is creeping down the hallway. Reminded me that tomorrow is an early day. Darth is having the second cataract removed in the morning so I will be with him at the VA hospital. Don't know how long before he can come home.
All those headed for NCTC, have a wonderful visit. May the sun shine brightly and warmly.
The night light is on. Restful sleep for all.
This is odd my phone works when it wants to in the hotel I got a voice mail I thought that odd from Angie and I noticed no bars I went out side and I have bars good out there parts of the hotel doesn't like my phone I just thought I would let you know Right now in lobby works That is where I had talked to all earlier going to to back to room for evening now and will try to text dau to see if I have bars in there Wierd I say Nite
Good Night Professor Judie,
and Best wishes on the cataract procedure for Darth in the morning and that it is not a looong day away from home for you
Would like to see Lynne return for a bit...not sure what "disaster mode" is that she made reference to;
We're HERE for you Lynne...
(( Hugs ♥ ))
Well, I finally made it here today!!
Have been dealing with right ear pain for about 10 days now - no other symptoms, so it is a bit confusing.
Today it was pretty bad, so I called the clinic. They were able to see me at 10am, so I skipped church and went to the doc. No ear infection.....TMJ! What?? I was quite surprised.
Had some dear friends come over and bring in a bunch of wood to our wood room for Dennis. They stayed and visited afterwards.
A busy day......
Good to read LYNN. Thanks for checking in sorry about your team.
JUDYE when you are in teh mountains cell phone reception is variable. Find a good area and make your calls from there. It makes a difference which part of the flat I am in as t how many bars I get...
Good luck to DARTH with laser surgery tomorrow. PRAYERS.
Glad Judy made it to Shepherdstown safely and is all set for tomorrow's activities!
Much excitement is in the air! I hope it's a fun day for all!
I'll be there in spirit!! Wish I could have gone :(
Prayers for Darth on his surgery in the morning. Pray for all to go well. I have decided to have my second eye taken care of but going to do it after Christmas! Too much to do between now and then and with my record...I need time to heal after cataract surgery.
They are having fun at the Ballpark in Arlington right now. Rangers up 4 -0. Hope it continues!!!
Lynn - Happy to hear you arrived safe and sound!! Have a relaxing week!! I know we will be hearing from you!
LORI - Thanks for filling us in on your dear Mom. I am so sorry she is in the hospital yet again. Praying that they get things settled in her stomach and she can go home in a couple days. (((Big Hugs to you)))
You are ♥'d much, too!!
DANA MO - Guess you have a lot on your plate getting your Dad on his feet and out the door for his very special 50th Anniversary!! It's really great to have something to work for in his healing process!
MARGY - A great James Day, indeed!!
Yes.....Keeping Darth in our prayers in his cataract surgery tomorrow.
We have quite the prayer list, don't we?
WV Dana - Sorry to hear your Mom isn't eating well. Putting her on my list to pray for, too.
Judie, prayers for Darth, and for you, too, tomorrow. Hope it is a quick and easy procedure.
Lori, hoping that your mother is much better by now.
JudyE, so glad that you made it to Shepherdstown. I remember how excited I was the first time we went there. I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Lynn, have an enjoyable and relaxing week.
I don't know much about TMJ, but I hope this isn't one of those "forever" things like arthritis!
I have another prayer list request....
Lil, my brother Billy's widow is in WV with her 90 year old Mom who is failing rather quickly. The doctor said she doesn't have long.
They are giving her lasix for heart and kidney failure to try and help keep the fluids from building up.
Her Mom is home, but we don't know how long she will hang on. I just feel so badly for Lil, since it has been not quite three months since she lost my brother (her husband). Now she is facing another major loss in her life. She is very close to and adores her Mom.
Please keep Lil and her Mom in your prayers. Thanks! ♥
Happy to hear that JudyE arrived safely in Shepherdstown.
I know everyone will have a wonderful day tomorrow!
Sure Hope Belle and Truder are around! Don't forget to show JudyE where she can park alongside the road and see the nest...she may want to check it out at sunset tomorrow.
Thanks to Jo for coordinating the nest visit...do enjoy! Wish I could be there.
Lolly, glad you made it to the auction and you are still functioning on some level!
Hoda, sounds like a good day volunteering!
Not sure if my post from around 9:30 posted...that I was home.
Oh, and saw another eagle during the afternoon. He landed in the trees on the right, stayed for a few minutes, and departed to the right.
Judie, hope everything goes well for Darth tomorrow and that he can come home tomorrow.
Glad Lynn and Liesl arrived safely...have a stellar time!
DanaMO, wonderful news about your Dad walking already!
NOT sorry I missed the Skins game today, from all reports.
Oh Linda, so sorry to hear about Lil's Mom...so hard.
Well, we're heading upstairs for the night.
I wish you all restful sweet sleep!
If I don't get to post before you all are up and out in the morning, have a super terrific visit with each other and with Belle and Truder. I hope Belle soars high in the skies for you and graces you with her beauty.
Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures!!
May God Bless and Protect us all and the critters we so dearly love.... xoxo ♥♥♥
Night ♥
Just catching up for the evening.
So glad to hear Lynn, Liesl & pals arrived at OBX!
Paula's Paradise sounds HEAVENLY! Thx for swan tips, Margy. Will try to keep ears open at Park!
Linda, sorry to hear about your ear! Gadzooks.
Danamo. glad your Dad is better & you can come tomorrow.
Hope Lori's Mom is doing better & WV Dana's Mom gains an appetite.
So sorry if I forgot anyone~~~All are on my prayer list ^j^
For those of you hitting the hay,
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;[>)
Well, I got through the first 200!!!
Lori and DanaMo---glad to hear that both parents are stable. Whew!
Cool to know that Lisa is down here somewhere, too!!
Nice pics of of your pretty daughter, DanaMo!
Fog at my place this AM---33°; frost and 31° at Frank's!
Paula, great that you saw the eagle!!
Great that JudyE arrived in S'town!!!
You all have an excellent adventure tomorrow!!!!
More Prayers on the wing for Linda, and Lil and her mother...I can't remember what part of West Virginia they are in...another Momster here was dealing with TMJ in the past year...? I think, maybe it was Lynne
Loretta,
I saw what I think were six or seven Snow Geese this morning, headed South, SouthEast
Weather report just mentioned possible T-storms Monday Afternoon...not real happy to hear THAT!
Welcome Home Paula...
James and his Dad saw several meteors Saturday night !
tied too many shoes today, James and mine, and did two snail mail cards and my finger is DONE!
Headed to bed...
have enough dexterity left to brush teeth and say:
Prayers for Wellness Amongst Us All, and our Family and Friends, and all the Pets !
God Bless Us, Every One
xo
Linda, prayers for your SIL's mom and for your SIL. That is very devastating to her to loose two so close together.
Paula, a very neat weekend...eagles!
Prayers for all with parents needing prayers. Been there, done that....and know how emotional and tiring it can be. (((Hugs)))
BEST WISHES TO DARTH for his cataract surgery to go smoothly, Judie!
Thanks, Shirley!! Thelma Lou and you done good!!!! Skins on the other hand DIDN'T!
I think everyone is asleep except me. TB shows running late because of sports. House is cooling off...will be glad to get in tub and warm up!
Lolly---hope you feel much better tomorrow. Glad you made it to the auction. We will do drive-bys in the AM and then let the realtor know which houses we want to see.
Eliminated three today on the mainland, leaving three there to look at.
Thanks for your sympathy, Hoda. Bummer for sure about the game.
Linda, now you need to see an oralmaxillo guy.....you probably need a mouthpiece to wear at night. :( Sorry.....no fun.
Prayers for Lillian and her Mom, Linda. Sad......where in WV?
Rangers WIN!!!!
Nighty-nite
Going to check Loretta's pics and then call it a day!
Prayers for all.....and hope everyone has a fantastic Monday.
Love you all!!
Best Wishes for Darth tomorrow! ☺
Wahoooo! Rangers won! Series now 2-2. Gotta keep on winning!
Heading to the shower and to bed.
Night all! Sweet dreams!
Goodnight all.
Sweet Dreams and God Bless.
I am ready to call it a day so that I can go to bed and hurry and wake up to go meet Momsters/Dadster in the morning.
Prayers for Lil have the strength to carry on with her life. Prayers for
Darth's eye surgery to go very well &
heal quickly.
Lynn good house hunting and hope Liesl
doesn't mind the sand on her paws.
I am glad you are feeling a little better Lolly, but maybe an antibiotic would really help. Congrats to you team - Just maybe they can capture the title.
Now I can say Good Night - I think I am the last one here..... All of you must realize that I will miss you terribly at our get together this time. Remember
April and Hoda find a way to come here one day ♥
hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
LADIES, DON'T FORGET YOUR EAGLE BEADS...YOU, TOO, FRANK!
We had an expecially nice afternoon at GG's. All but Jillian and Dustin were present (someone HAD to stay and watch Berryville:)
I've put a few photos on my JUST FOR FUN BLOG of our day at GG's.
GG made me a birthday cake, but couldn't figure out how to turn her oven on. She was crying when Denise got there, so Denise got it going for her:) She perked up and was a lot of fun.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIEDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR
Singe today is NEST DAY, here is the NEST WEATHER FORECAST:
Monday: Scattered showers after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 69. Calm wind between 6 and 9 mph. Chance of precip is 40%. Less than a tenth of an inch possible.
WoooooHooooooo!
First word of the day, above, and it's a typo. URgh!
Trying now to get all my nest directions and cell phone numbers printed out since I will be coming straight from work. I'm so excited. I do have my camera sitting right by the door (no tripod) ready to grab as I leave for work and the car is packed.
MOM called last night, very happy and said, I might get to go home tomorrow (Monday), that is if she continues to have no pain and can eat solid, but no raw food. YAY! She never gets out earlier than they estimate. She was very excited. Me too!
Spent most of the day yesterday trying to get to get everything off my old computer and transfered onto my new laptop but (big URGH) my new one didn't want to recognize the Passport Backup with all the stuff on it. I'll have to wait until I leave to see if Kate got it done and if I can take it to MARGY today. Just don't want you to have to make a trip out here Margy, but then again, it would be fun to have you over!
Hi, Everyone,
Getting here VERY late. It has been such a BUSY weekend! We watched the bulldogs, since Bro-in-law wanted to see his grandson's last football game in person, in Las Vegas. Went and did some Christmas shopping (it's been AGES since I've been to a mall!), and got a lot of other stuff done.
Belated Happy Birthday to Wanda's Denise!
Lynn, SO sorry to hear of the FF who passed away in his sleep! Prayers for his family & friends.
Prayers of healing for Lolly. Hope you feel better soon!
Shirley, glad you had fun riding the train and seeing the historical sites in Fredericksburg...and you won playing Bingo, too! WOW!
Hoda, sounds like you had a wonderful and busy day, too! I love how involved you are!
Judie, you sound happy & rested. Glad you had such a nice trip!
Wishing a Happy Birthday to Lisa!
WV Dana, Happy 89th Birthday in Heaven to your Dad!
Wow, Margy! Snow Geese! Kubby & I saw a double-V of Canada Geese flying above the Santa Ana River this morning--a sure sign that fall is really here!
YAY!! JudyE has arrived safely!!
DanaMo, so happy your Dad is up and around!
Lori, prayers for your Mom, too. Hope she's feeling MUCH better!
WV Dana, prayers of healing for your Mom.
Margy, glad you had fun with James today!
Judie, prayers for Darth's cataract surgery tomorrow. Hope he can come home SOON!
Lynn, glad to hear that you, Frank, & Liesl have arrived safely.
Enjoy!!
Linda, prayers for your ear and jaw, and prayers for Lil and her Mom. A tough situation, for sure.
Paula, glad that you and Nick are home safely.
Loretta, love your pictures, especially of Talon. The Indians' native costumes are so beautiful!
Lori, YIPPEE for your Mom's good news!
Well, need to try to get some sleep--an early alarm tomorrow.
Can hardly wait to read about the nest visit tomorrow!
Have said prayers for everyone, and for all our beloved critters.
The porch light is on, and both security systems are enabled. Sleep tight, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you!
:o]
Good morning!
What are eagle beads?
Good morning,
Hope everyone has a wonderful day today and that you see Belle and her Beau.
I will be looking for all of the many pictures I know you will be taking.
DanaMo, the first time I met with the Momsters, they gave me my eagle beads . . . a necklace that all of the Momsters wear when they gather.
Lori, glad that your mom is better.
Jo, I am planning to be there in April. There isn't a date yet, is there?
Good Morning DanaMo and Shirley!
Good morning Lori!
So excited for today, I could hardly sleep last night. I can't wait to meet those Momsters I haven't met fact to face yet.
Should be fun, and the weather looks good for today. It doesn't look so good for my field trip on Thursday :( I wonder if I am going to have to postpone AGAIN!
Good morning!!!
yes I am awake!!!
I woke up thiking you all are about to gather and what are Eagle Beads?
I come here and DANAMO asks the question and it is answered...
GREAT.
HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY. SAFE TRIPS ON THE ROAD.
HODA, eagle beads are a big necklace that Momsters get...big beads and three eagles on it... they're cute and fun!
THANKS LORI.
I am so glad that your MOM is better and might go back home today.
I am going to go give my bed another go...SAFE TRIP LORI AND OTHER MOMSTERS AND DADSTER TRAVELLING.
Sleep well, HODA. So very n ice to see you this morning! ♥
Lori is JudyE an early morning person that would eat breakfast?
Hi DanaWV - she usually words mornings and I know she loves going out to breakfast, or said she enjoyed having it before she would hit the road while on vacation.
Gosh, what's with all my typos - so sorry... that should be worked
Ok talked with her she is not a breakfast person. If she was I wanted to introduce her to where the ladies love to eat breakfast.
On the main street called German St. 112 E. German St. open 6AM-4PM BEST breakfast place. Can get breakfast all day if you want it.
Betty's is RAVED about!!! ( :
Good Morning Eagle Pals...
Looks like the sky is on fire in the East....sunrise approaching ☼
YES Margy I went outside to look it is beautiful!!!!!
Morning GLori:
I would have re-emphasized to you NOT to worry if your PC was ready for me today...
I see what you said you did all day yesterday....hope you got YOUR laptop working ...
I know how to get to Frederick... ☺
Sounds like both your Father, DanaMo, and your Mother, Lori,
made BIG improvements Sunday ☺
Greeat late-night report on "Family Fun Sunday" from Wanda, and oodles of new pictures...
DanaMmo
Lovely pictures of your daughter...

RISE AND SHINE, LADIES...THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE, LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN IT!
We will be rejoicing all day long:)
See you all soon♥
Wanda I just finished visiting your wonderful Sunday Family pictures. Thank you for sharing your family ♥

'Morning Wanda...
Great scripture passage....

No wonder, with all the great pictures

the back of the Blazer is empty for any extra baggage...
I have two umbrellas....

Good morning my eagle peeps.
Margy, our blogs are wonderful for storing our photos, just click them on and find photos from waaaaaaaaaay back when! Right at your fingertips:)
Hi Thelma...bad game, yesterdsy, yes?
Thoughts and prayers for Darth and Judie today. Plus Lynne2 about the car.
Continued prayers for those sick and those that are healing.
Thinking of Hedgie-Lynn/e and Liesl at the beach.
and don't come early Dana 'cause I won't be ready early! Check email for my parking lot information...
Best wishes for a Good Day, EVERYONE...for whatever is on your dance cards...
and continued prayers for Wellness
ttfn xo ♥ got some emails to attend to here...
Morning Thelma and all the Bluefield people and animals.
Aha ! Sounds like DANAMO and JUDYE will be earning their Eagle Beads today ! Good job, Scouts !☺ I'm so excited for you all !
Happy to see, upon reading back, that LOLLY felt well enough to enjoy her Sunday activities. The Cowboys and the Rangers both provided big morale boosters, too !
LYNNE, glad to get your assurance that you're O.K.--you just didn't seem yourself yesterday. Now today, if I remember right, you are off work and heading back to the car dealer. Praying all goes well and the mess is straightened out once and for all.
MARGY, I knew you'd have a good time with James--we're so lucky to have such loving grandsons. I love it that you are enjoying PHC along with Seth and me ! Wasn't John Lithgow a great guest ?
LYNN, big sigh of relief to read that you, Liesl and your friends are safely at the OBX. Hoping you find just the right property for your needs. How's the knee feeling after traveling, etc. ?
LINDA, woe is me, TMJ, never had it but I hear it's very painful. Hope you're seeing a specialist soon---hey, that might even be the reason for some of the headaches !
JUDIE, thinking of Darth today as he gets that 2nd cataract taken care of. As far as I'm concerned it's a miracle surgery--had my two done in 2006 and now wear glasses only for close up reading. I didn't realize how much I was missing til' that was taken care of !
DanaWV I posted NEST FORECAST early this morning, above..... high of 69 today.
Yes Lolly did go out yesterday but I don't think she is feeling up to par. Prayers that the cough and junk in head will clean up soon.
I always think of Diann because I know the pain she is in. Still hoping the medication will be corrected or just start working without side effects.
WANDA I have a boatload of donations for you... will Margy have room in her car?
MARGY, so happy you don't mind coming to Frederick. ♥
Good Morning KAY!
((((Big first of the morning HUGS))))
I can make room, Lori!
The back of the Blazer is pretty much emptied out...
I'll empty it out some more before I leave !
LYNN should have left by now...cruising to the beach. Lucky lady.
Good Morning Kay, and Yes! to all you said ☺
I'm hoping that NCTC gift shop has post cards!
If not, I will print out pictures and send THEM as post cards for our many Eagle Pals near and far....
time to throw myself together
It'll fit if you have a Blazer, Margy. Thanks!
I hafta share a Gnigty Household hint. Gnats have been driving me Gnuts for the last week. Must be due to the wet and warm Fall we're having--can't stand outside for a neighborly visit without being swarmed. Of course some of them find their way in each time a door is opened and possibly through vents. I was seeing them throughout the house. Went to HowTo.com and followed their home remedy. Placed bowls of Apple Cider Vinegar laced with a dollop of Dawn around the house. Voila`, within five minutes they began to dive into the sticky goop for a watery grave. Left the stuff out for about 6 hours and had about 30 of the little buggers to dispose of. See a few flying around today and so have just put out a new round of their favorite "Kool-aid". Heh, heh, heh !
Morning Kay what do you plan for today?
Glad to hear that tip worked for the gnats Kay. Now we all know what to do when we get them inside. Thanks for sharing ( :
I meant gnifty ! Thanks for the big hug, gLORI ! Hope you'll hear good news from your Mom today so that this is a RED LETTER day for you from start to finish !
WANDA, just took a look at your great pics of Family Night ! What a wonderful family ! A bit aawww over GG crying about the oven problem. She is soooo sweet !
Yes, DANAWV, Diann and her pain are of concern to us all. Our prayer list is mighty long, but I know God takes the time to listen as we call upon Him with our Momster requests ! Hallelujah !
Asking for some special prayers for my Mother. Her bones are giving her a terrible problem. Don't know if arthritis or entrapped nerves. No a doctor she won't go to. I have been going in an spending a lot of time. Taking her in precious weeks places she needed to go. She can hardly open her own front door. She does feel a little better when she takes Aleve but she doesn't want to take it all the time. She is sort of "old school"-God will heal me if HE wants to. I believe that is true. Yet would love for her to see doctor. So I just follow what she wants. She is 85 yrs. old in May will be 86. Love you Mom♥♥
DANAWV, today's plan includes continueing the fight against gnats and lurking right here as I seek info on what you and the other 8 are experiencing. Hopefully others, as in, SHIRLEY, THELMA, HODA, LOLLY, LINDA and more will hold down the fort along with me while you are having a grand time at NCTC. LYNN is off having fun---LYNNE and JUDIE have important things to do--perhaps JIM and ANDY will say hey at some point--yeh, it promises to be a good Momster/Dadster day !
You got it Dana.
You can say that again Kay.
Prayers for your Mom, DANA WV ! Perhaps you can convince her that God has guided and directed the medical profession and expects that we will take advantage of all they've accomplished toward relieving pain. The old adage, "God helps those who help themselves" comes to mind.
Hi THELMA ! Nice to "see" your cheerful self ! I do hope you and the rest of the Southern Delegation are planning on going to the Open House in April ! We need to meet and enjoy our Eagles together !
DanaMo she has her scheduled doctors appointment. Before which time she follows how God tells her to treat her health problems. Don't ask me (It can only be GOD) before her appointment is due. She is healed usually. She does know by my father working in a hospital, and me working in a hospital, and her taking care of people about God and HIS doctors.
Thanks anyhow.
Sorry that is Kay
Need to close down and finish getting ready to meet my ride.
May everyone have a Blessed Day!
Well, Hunter is off to school.
Quite chilly here this morning.
Wow, Kay, I will remember your method for getting rid of gnats.
SHIRLEY, I read the same method can be used outside at the picnic table, etc.. I'm so pleased with a simple and non-toxic solution. Sorry Gnats, I know you're God's creation, too, but......
Yeah, Kay, I was thinking that a few of those bowls outside might be a good thing.
We are sometimes bothered by gnats in the house that just seem to appear at random.
In talking to my neighbors I find some of them calling them fruit flies, but these are just plain ol' gnats. Why do they like to dive bomb us ? I think I need to clean and spray the little lobby for this fourplex today. Maybe I can figure out a place to set out a dish of the deadly brew there, too.
Good Morning all the wonderful eagle buds from WVA
Good morning - something to do today -
raindrops earlier in my valley so I
must cross the mountain and find the
beams of sunshine.
Everyone will be thought of and pictures
and reports will be coming at you!
BBILW
Whoops there's JudyE - Good morning
See you soon.
I'm sitting in lobby listening to the sounds of a water fall tinkling in the water and guess where I need to go LOL yep off the the little girls room Time is getting close I am so excited a little over a hour and counting
Woooooooooohoooooo!
Getting ready to leave in 2 minutes!!!! YAY! Lots of pics, I promise. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I feel like a kid on the first day of school
Okay, Flash went under the front porch again and got his lead tangled under there again. This time I can't get it out. At least Flash got out. Once he got stuck under there and Will had to crawl under and get him.
Dogs will be put out in the back only for now.
When we get the lead untangled, I will need to block off the entrance to the underporch again.
SHIRLEY, it sounds like fencing is going to solve a lot of your problems. When is it going to be installed ? You are a very active retiree, what with Hunter, the pets, bowling... !
Yeah, the count down is on and you won't be alone for long JUDY !
JO, we thank you ! Yes, we stay at homes are soooo looking forward to pictures of this momentus day !
LORI, give Belle n' Truder the seven heart salute, if you see them !
Dog poop in the front yard . . . I will be happy when that problem goes away.
Just received this poem from a dear old friend. He doesn't realize how perfect it is for us !
BUTTERFLIES AND EAGLES
Quite often, my faith is like
Delicate butterfly wings,
I hover close to the ground,
Too afraid of higher things.
Oh, how I wish my faith were
Like an eagle's wings on high!
So strong, sure, and capable,
Never faltering in flight!
Well, my faith may be fragile,
But the Lord can do all things,
For He is the wind beneath,
Butterfly and eagle wings.
