Hoda said...

Good morning all. I got a black screen on the baloon link, and enjoyed the discussion so much. It was cool that LOLLY joined in too...

LORI I have done yoga outsied but not frequently and with the practice at the Studio we are always inside...beautiful space with lots of windows and the sunshine comes in. It was almost too hot in the summer time and the fans had to keep going.

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY to you ALL

It is a gray day here and the colours now are a deep tone of yellows, oranges and even some reds.The reds are not like the east coast reds but there is some red.The ever greens are still green of course and some leaves are already falling so the rustling sound is an added gift.

I will go to a morning Yoga class and then groceries...I will go get ready. BBL.

magpie said...

taking James and his Dad out for winter coat and boots (for James) shopping today, I think...
we all might just change our minds about that...

Glad to read that Lori is feeling much much better


Best wishes for a Great and Glorious Sunday, Everyone

ttfn xoxo ♥

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning - Thanks to Steve for the fresh new thread and to Margy for the call over.

Gorgeous day and our leave are turning.
Those balloons were awesome! I don't think I want to ride up in one - I prefer to watch them from the ground or on the cam.

Bragg gals are still here and had a whopper of a day at the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. However Izzy has Pneumonia - had x-rays at the ER last evening! She is doing better today and hopefully for the ride home tomorrow she will be much better.

magpie said...

oh dear Jo.....
sorry to read of Izzy's ailment....
Prayers for swift recovery!

magpie said...

PAULA

Take your camera !!

Mema Jo said...

Paula it sounds like you're gong to have a beautiful Family day.

I really do miss Norma Byrd!
Happy Birthday my Friend ♥
Sent her a card and but may have to call
her today!

magpie said...

Lots of Mema-Lovin' will add to the remedy for Izzy ♥♥

JudyEddy said...

LORI is that the name of the stuff WELLNESS I might give it a try when I get sick can't taste as bad as Zicam YUKey

JudyEddy said...

ODD how HODA in Canada can't view certain things I wonder how that works cyberspace cops

I plan on being in WVA Sun sometime and go to the gift shop on Mon Unless something happens that is the plan

Lynne2 said...

JudyE will you be able to post from the road?

PA Nana said...

Hi everyone.

Hoda, loved the link to Polamalu.

Great game for teh Steelers so far.
Lynne & DanaWV, are you gals watching? AArrgg, Ben is limping.
Time for Batch? So many injured.

After this game is the Patriots.
That will take care of my Sunday afternoon.

Hasselback sacked again! Okay, I'm gone. bbl later tonight.
Have a good one. ♥♥♥

Lynne2 said...

Hi Diann....just tuned in while taking a break from chores...GO STEELERS!

Lolly said...

Yea'. Just got word that a friend in town had over 5 " of rain!!!!!

PA Nana said...

Halftime. Ben was intersepted to end first quarter. Yikes.

Hasselback used to QB for the Seahawks. He was sacked twice in the first quarter. Hope the Steelers continue to play well -for a change.

Almost forgot to wish Norma a happy birthday! Happy Birthday!!!

Time enough to get some lunch. bbl

PA Nana said...

duh, intercepted. I get so excited and don't always check before I post. It didn't look right, but I posted anyway.

There was a challenge, so back to the game.

wvgal_dana said...

Yep I have been watching the game ( :


Pittsburg 31 Tenn. 10

I'll take that ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Darn JudyE I have the plumber coming Monday. Dang I wanted to come and meet with you. Sad :(

Lynne2 said...

geez Lolly, hope there are no flooding issues with the ground having been so dry...

Happy to see the REAL Steelers show up this week. Tired to watch while killing stinkbugs...OMG they are EVERYWHERE today. Over 700 so far. GROOSSSSSSSS!!! The rest are going to have to wait, I'm just too sore to keep going.

Hoda said...

Well for sure it would be GREAT if Jo would come to yoga with me...!!! Yet I hear she was clear about not going to yoga today!!!LOL

It is much colder today than it has been for a while and I felt uncomfortable. Having a hot cup of tea and going on with doing laundry and waiting to go to supper tonight.

Yoga practice had a sub not the regular teacher and I did not like the practice. Not enough movement yin yoga she kept calling it and I almost said could we have some yang now!!! Yin is the feminine aspect and yang is the masculine aspect...resting poses are yin active poses are yang...just this charachterisation gets on my nerves truth be told. Most of the women I know are very active...I am just in a complaining phase right now...sorry...the tea will make me feel better...

wvgal_dana said...

Steelers WIN!!!!

Lolly said...

Well, here we are, just east of Durango, CO. Quite chilly!!

We have wifi and cable. Wahoooo! TX Ranger game has been postponed until tomorrow because of rain. Is that not wild! Some areas have received 6 inches. I emailed our neighbor. They left this morning to go to west Texas. They said we have had over 4 inches and it was still raining. Unbelievable!! In town one person had at least 5 inches. It has been very general so the lakes are getting it too!

We, personally, have no threat of flooding. We are on a slight rise. The land in back does slope down to the house but the runoff goes down both sides. Laurel has flooded once, but that was when they got over 10 inches in a very short period of time. Not happening now.

Lolly said...

Tomorrow we are going to put on the hiking boots, grab up the hiking sticks and heading to Mesa Verde Natl. Park. Tuesday is our train ride, and Wed we go to Pagosa Springs. Going to be a fun three days and we head home on Thursday. Low temps tonight in the 20's. May have to disconnect the water hose and flush with a jug of water. lol

Lolly said...

Going to drive into Durgango shortly!

Lori O. said...

Hello Hoda! It's okay to complain. You never do - in fact, it sounded just like your humble opinion!

I thought of you, dear Hoda, all afternoon as I had on one of the Nat'l Geographic channels and they were doing hours of programming on Egypt. I learned a lot about King Ramsey (sp). Then there was a show on the Tibetan Book of Death which was very interesting.

The leaves here are still very green. There's some dead ones on the ground and you can see some yellowing on a few trees, but peak change of color will probably be later this year.
I haven't even heard the date.
Tomorrow supposed to be even warmer in the 80's!

Lori O. said...

LoLLY, sounds like you and Jack are having a great time and have the rest of your trip well planned. You are a retirement inspiration! Enjoy CO!

JudyEddy said...

I have no lap top I never did buy one and June has no puter in mtns they have country cable she says is sooooo slow and hardly no cell phone service at her house only if you go down to the river funny huh being in the mts limits it I guess but at river it works and down in town it does

JudyEddy said...

WOW so far today we have had just a hair over 2" of rain and more to come last nites wind gust up to 40 some kind of rouge storm moving over Fl now will be in gulf tomorrow maybe going to TX to see Lolly we several roads were closed in Lakeland today because of floods and down power lines They say over 100Th people without power in Pinellas Co Well I have power lucky me I guess

PA Nana said...

Hoda, this is vent city. We don't mind one bit.

Lynne2, take up your 'Welcome Stinkbugs' mat. We're flicking them off the screens today and didn't count but sure not even 100.

Lolly, I'd begin to worry. You leave town and it rains. ;o)
You know we're on this trip with you through your pictures. I'm enjoying this trip. Where we going next?

Back to a close game Pats by 3.

JudyEddy said...

I will be in town Sunday also I will leave Junes on Sat and get in your area on Sat nite so I will be there till Tues when I pull out

hedgie said...

Hello gang. I'm back! Now I need to catch up with y'all!!!

Poor Izzy......no fun to have pneumonia, as many of us know. Hope she is MUCH better fast and doesn't have to miss much school, Jo!

We are starting to get some color for sure here, too....AND leaves are falling. :(

I saw two eagles soaring today in the valley----they were riding those thermals so lazily, but looked like they were having fun!

In my other nature adventure....have you ever SEEN a praying mantis do a poop shoot? LOL---I did! This huge mantis was all over Frank & Irene's walkway...actually saw him raise his wings, extend his bupkis sideway make a deposit. Within the hour we saw him up on the bedroom window screen---from whence he fell straight down to the grass. Frank got him and he seemed okay.....and then Frank let him crawl all over him!

hedgie said...

Cool video at Madame Tussaud's, Hoda! But I sure would like to take my scissors to his hair, as well as all of the other football players whose hair is longer than their helmets! It's just me----and Bill. He says if any of his opponents had ever had long hair, he would have always carried scissors onto the field AND used them!!

Lynne2 said...

aw, too bad you won't be able to blog while you're on your adventure JudyE! I saw that storm system...they are saying it will meet up with the one in Texas now, and head up the coast to give us "tropical" rains Tuesday night and all day Wednesday.UGH.

Lynn, that is SO funny! And brave Frank for helping the mantis and letting it crawl on him! I won't dare allow that...I got bitten by one once!

BTW....I LOVE Troy's hair!

Hoda said...

Well LORI and DIANN Thank you...
I took a hot bath and I feel a lot better.

I like The Tibetan Book Of The Dead a great deal LORI. There is much to live wihtin its teachings and there is wisdom in how to practice letting go...
As for Egypt a HUGE GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and HURMPHHHHHHHHH and I am not pleased nor am I impressed. I am afraid the Pharoas would not recognise the people who calll themselves Egyptians and I feel I do not recognise them either...They burnt a church and they killed Coptic Christians and the hooligans have control of what they refer to as the Spring Revolution!!!The Egypt where I grew up the Egyptian Christians, Jews and Moslems learnt to get along...SHAME ON THEM FOR BURNING CHURCHES...

OK I won't blog any more till I am over this...This will be the carrott that will stop my complaining... BBL

hedgie said...

Lynne, the TX ground being so dry is why a flood watch was posted yesterday for TX and OK. 10" predicted in some places.

DanaWV---JudyE isn't coming until 10/24.

Lolly, you better throw a little antifreeze into the waste tank!!! 20's is way too cold---ugh!

Sorry yoga wasn't more to your liking, Hoda. Hope your regular instructor is back on Tues.!
Happy Thanksgiving to you--bet your are chowing down now!!!
Sorry to hear about the new awful unrest in your homeland. Hope your family is all safe.

hedgie said...

Lori, Ch. 9 weatherguy said last week that foliage would peak early this year....already past peak in New England!

DanaMo said...

Boomerang seems to be fine now. Thank you everyone for your concern.

Aric is on his way back to Dayton with my husband. He'll be home again in 3 1/2 weeks for my parent's 50th Anniversary (we got a flight for $49. for that one) I think the semester is really going to fly from here! Poor Monte hasn't even spent any time at home for over a week. I couldn't handle his job or schedule.

hedgie said...

Okay, so Judy is coming in late on the 22nd---I thought she had said the 23rd....and going to NCTC on Monday the 24th!!!

hedgie said...

DanaMo, so glad that Boomer got over his bug quickly!

Had to break down and take a real pain pill for my knee....starting to feel a little loopy...if I start jabberwocking, you'll know why!

JudyEddy said...

Boy is this scary I Google camera rentals just to see about renting a better one instead of buying and when I got to the area with the list of business off to the side is the exact mileage to the stores Well I didn't put in a address at all just did a Google search I guess it pick up on my IP address and can pinpoint where I am I guess I don't know for sure but still scary Only thing I found so far is big like for movie making need to keep looking

JudyEddy said...

I have to remember to un set the alarm clock since I am not going to work tomorrow I will go do it now BBL

DanaMo said...

I jabberwock without taking pain medicine! LOL!
So is everyone going to gather when Judy comes?

hedgie said...

The Good Wife will be running late.....football has still not ended.......so adjust your dvr's/vcr's/watch times by at least half an hour!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

Happy Thanksgiving, Hoda!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORMA BIRD, WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!

paula eagleholic said...

Had a great lunch, good food, good company!

Came home and went to the antique mall so Michael could catch up with one of his friends (he works there). Michael, Laura and Mel left about 4:30..so I mowed the back yard, started some laundry, cleaned out the bird bath and refilled the feeders and took out the A/C's.

Totally scrumptious weather today!!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, interesting how much more the leaves are turned just 15 minutes north of me...

Oh my JO, poor Izzy!

Yay, finally some more rain for Texas!

Lynne, you need a shop vac to suck all those stinkbugs up!

Hoda, sorry the yoga teacher sucked!

Lolly, glad you arrived safely!

JudyE what is your arrival date in WV"??? OK, I see Lynne answered my question. Safe travels, JudyE!!

Lynne saw a pair of eagles, how awesome!

Oh, I saw at Colorfest that Catoctin Mountain Zoo now has an eagle!!

DanaMO, I am sure you are sorry to see Aric go...glad you will see him again soon! And glad Boomer is better.

paula eagleholic said...

Gonna grab some leftovers for dinner...

hedgie said...

JudyE...it is also scary that when I open up a link such as YouTube, etc., the ads are LOCAL ads here....Big Brother knows everything!

hedgie said...

DanaMo, it will be nice that Aric will get home a couple more times this semester. It will help him, and you can spoil him a lot!!!!

Lynne2 said...

Glad Boomer is better DanaMo!

Sorry about your knee Lynn, I am suffering with mine as well. I've been ordered by my bossy husband who is not impressed with my gimping that I am to shower and get off of my feet. Back is hurting too. UGH. Too late for me to take a Trammy, they keep me awake. I sure miss Darvocet on days like this! Hope you feel better in the AM!

Lynne2 said...

I sure hope SOMEONE can meet up with JudyE next week...I'm out because of work....boo hiss. Would love the chance to meet and look for our eagles!

hedgie said...

Paula, glad you had a fun weekend, even tho' you didn't get to the beach again. I'm betting you WILL go down next weekend, right??!!!
Does Nick LOVE Michael????

hedgie said...

JudyE---I can't speak for anyone else since I'll be out of town, but I'm sure that someone will hook up with you when you come!

Lynne2 said...

Think I will go shower and lay down and watch some TV. SO, hopefully I get a chance to pop in from work tomorrow. Good night and prayers for all!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh Lynne and Lynn, hope the knee feels better soon!

Lynne, Nick had a great time with everyone! Poor Laura, she loves dogs and cats, but is allergic to them. She takes Benadryl when she visits...and she felt much better today, too. This is only the second time Nick has seen Michael, but he loves him! He was a little afraid of everyone at first, but he warmed up to them quickly!

NatureNut said...

Hello,Hello!
Back for awhile. Had a busy but neat day at Park yesterday. Took Flat Stanley who participated in the annual Kids Day in the Kountry!
We konked out after dinner, got up early and worked on Stanley's pictures.He's ready to go back home to TN.

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Loretta, glad Stanley had a good time ☺ Dinner sounds yummy.

Lori O. said...

Paula, wanna do a nest run when I get off work next Monday to meet JudyE? Can you sneak away for a few hours?
I can be home by 10:00 -10:30.
JudyE, I want to see you!!!

Lori O. said...

Lynn, sorry about your knee pain. Lucky you for painkiller! lol
Those things knock me out. Good thing for right now when it's time to go to bed.

Hope Lolly and Jack are safely in Durango, CO, tonight.

Prayers for Kay and family with the loss of KF Judy.

Andy stay warm on your trip - cold up there!

Oh LYNN, two eagles!!! Lucky you, again!

JUDYe, will see you in the morning even tho you're not working.

Margy, hope you had a fabulous day!

About to do a special Wanda Face Plant! See you all, my special eagle family, tomorrow. Sweet dreams and lots of animals in your bed! Four legged kind!!! Shut up Lori and go to bed! Goodnight.

LORETTA who does flat Stanley belong to I must have missed something I have read about him but don't recall who it is ? breezing through the blog may have done it
Do you have a picture of him on your blog?

My dau has said I can use her camera Lot better zoom but bulky but I will love it she is going to use mine just got to buy rechargeable batteries for it she just buys batteries to me that is such a waste when you can by two batteries over the long run its cheaper

JudyEddy said...

Yep I will be at home cleaning and packing and getting ready while my truck is at the Ford Motor getting a road trip check up I hadn't made a appt First come first serve so I will get without a alarm clock and when ever I get up I will take truck and they will drive me home and pick me up when ready so I will be home Want to do some yard work also if its not raining and neck is better I think to much puter time has done it in time for Ibuprofen

JudyEddy said...

I am so addicted to McDonald's parfait eating one now I get one every day Although I hate yogurt This doesn't taste like yogurt BBL

wvgal_dana said...

JudyE I have saved the document on my desktop. I don't have Excel to open it with. I do have Microsoft Works Spreadsheet. It had opened the old Eaglet Momsters Mailing List. I can't get the one you are sending around to open.To help me know about the list. Are there any new people on it???? If so like who???

JudyEddy said...

WVAGAL DANA you got mail I copied and pasted the list in email

hedgie said...

Pain med is not helping much. I WILL call ortho tomorrow and hope that I can get an apptmt. before beach trip. Hopefully just some cortisone in it will do the trick.

Dana, maybe Paula can tell you how to convert Delphia's Excel into something else.

Goodnight, Lynne! Rest well.

The Good Wife is delayed until 9:35.

JudyE---I finally got rechargeables for my camera, too. Mine uses 4!

Loretta, hope you are going to share Stanley pics with us! Your dinner sounds great.

We had pizza at Frank & Irene's...seems like a long time ago....tummy is making hunger hints....and Liesl is making sofa hints. Think I better appease her a bit before her bedtime!

BBIALW.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you JudyE I got the mailing addess you sent me. I really appreciate it. HUGS

Lolly said...

Lynn, I just hate to hear your knee is giving you fits! Also, Lynne! Will you two please straighten up and fly right!!!

We drove into Durango. It is a neat Colorado town! We went to the train station and got some info. We already have our tickets on line. Went to the museum...it was really cool!

Tomorrow we are going to Mesa Verde Natl. Park. Should have lots of pictures for you. Got some good ones today from the car. Need to download them.

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie-Lynn/e Prayers for you knee pain and pray you can get in with Ortho. that will help you with the pain.

Lolly said...

How is this for a new vacation avatar?!!!

Mema Jo said...

I'll be back, Well I best leave first

Watching the Good Wife

Lolly said...

We did see a red tail hawk today. Could not miss it. The sun was shining through its tail...looked like it was on fire. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Be Back after the good wife...

magpie said...

Hello Eagle Pals...
sorry about the knee and back pains...Lynn and Lynne

Sounds like a great week-end, Paula..

and yes Diann is right, this IS
Vent City and everyone gets a turn;
today was Hoda's -
thanks for sharing Hoda, and I hope...you feel better about all of it soon.
We understand, and we care !!

xoxo ♥

magpie said...

so glad to hear DanaMo's boomerang feels better....
and Safe Traveling wishes for
Aric and Monte

Costume Lady said...

I was about to join in on the commenting and Capt. Gene told me The Good Wife is coming on...BBL

magpie said...

Hedgie sent me a text message about those two soaring eagles!
I had been through the same area in the valley about 30 minutes prior...
shame I did not seem them also!
It's a wonder I don't wreck scanning the skies and the roadsides, for birds, and wildflowers !
Leaf colors here....getting beauteous !

magpie said...

hoping Shirley and the rest of the Gem Gang are home safe and sound by now

magpie said...

Lolly
All of your reports, about your traveling and the wonderful rainfall "back home" are a joy to read...
how about that hawk !!!

magpie said...

Lynne
seems like someone should be doing a documentary about the Stink Bug Invasion at your Roost...this sounds just awful!

magpie said...

JudyE -
Enjoy your time off !!
Not sure if I will be IN or OUT of town that Sunday-Monday-Tuesday...would love to meet you!

magpie said...

shopping trip with the fellows went pretty good, got boots and some clothes...lots of walking and driving but we met our goal

I'll be gone BEFORE the Good Wife is over, because I'm about to sack out now...

Thinking of all of you, Precious Pals,
hoping that those we haven't seen today, yet at least...are doing well.
Thinking of dear Kay with her visit with Eileen

Prayers for Wellness

God Bless Us, Every One

stronghunter said...

Hi,

We got home a couple of hours ago. Will was here finishing up his laundry. He had been here clearing away brush in the back yard where I want the fence--the brush I just could not get rid of myself this summer.

We had a very busy fun-filled weekend with the gem hunting and then a trip to the Science Museum of Virginia. We had dinner at the Bass Pro Shop. Not as good as some other things we did, though it was an interesting place.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Wife is on watching it then some other shows.

See you tomorrow.

God Bless and everyone take care.

Prayers for those that need them whether people or animal.

stronghunter said...

Sleepy and tired tonight. Ready to head upstairs. See you tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Show is over - I'm back for a minute or two. Reading backwards before signing
off.

Lolly said...

We just finished dinner. OMG I will hate to get on the scales when I get home! How do you say "DIET"? LOL Tonight we warmed up leftover flank steak. Yummy! We are also having wine with almost every dinner.

Really looking forward to Mesa Verde tomorrow.

Lynn, do expect 20's tonight. After showering, Jack is draining and taking in the water hose. Will use the pump tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

LOlly, you are doing just what you are supposed to be doing on vacation...enjoying yourself!!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh and love the avatar, Lolly.

Mema Jo said...

The Bragg Gals go home tomorrow. Izzy
started to perk up late today so the meds are working. Sad to see them leave.

Both of my thighs are aching. Advil relieves it - but I am tired of taking
Advil and not knowing what the cause is. Feels like strained muscles or AGE

Good night my Friends
Prayers for all
Hugs for all ♥♥♥♥♥♥

** Lynn you are one up on us as far as seeing a Mantis poop shoot! ♥

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley, I didn't know you could eat at a Bass Pro Shop! What kind of rocks did Hunter find?

Margy, glad you had a successful shopping trip!

Oh, the moon is pretty out tonight.

Gonna hit the hay,

(((Hugs for all♥)))

Lolly said...

I thought the avatar appropriate. Going on a steam engine train ride in the mts. tomorrow. Going to be in the "Parlor" car. LOL Going in style.

Have been to Colorado many times, but never this part of Colorado. Really enjoying it!

Prayers for Kay & friend, Judy's families.

Linda said...

Hello to all. I was reading up on all the activities of the group, Lolly's exciting vacation, Paula's Colorfest, JudyE getting excited about her vacation, Lynn excited about her trip to the OBX in a couple weeks, Lori feeling better, Boomer feeling better, Wanda having some intruders, Margy shopping for James, Lynn saw eagles and oh so much more.

I thought I commented on Kay's dear friend Judy, but if not, Praise God for her Grand Promotion and wishing her family and friends peace in their hearts as they mourn her passing. Kay - Enjoy your time with Eileen!

Lori - So happy you're on the mend and feeling so much better.

I see we have aches and pains, too with those darn knees of Lynn and Lynne, Jo's muscles. Prayers that your pain subsides.

Happy Thanksgiving Hoda!! Hope your dinner with the COOWS was wonderful. Anxious to hear how it went.

Dennis picked another 40lbs of tomatoes yesterday and guess what I did after church this afternoon?? I'm getting pretty efficient at this tomato canning!!

Dennis is snoring on the couch, so I won't stay. It is a bit late to start blogging anyway.

We are heading upstairs, but want to wish you all a good night's sleep!!

Keeping you all in my prayers!

May God Bless and Protect us all and the critters we so dearly love..... xoxo ♥♥♥

hedgie said...

Hi and bye, Linda. Tomato Lady Supreme!!!

Jo, sorry that your thighs are aching so. Would almost have to be muscular...are you on any cholesterol meds? Or osteoporosis meds? Both could cause that.

Shows are over.....news coming on, then I will be getting ready for the sandman, too.


Hoda must be having quite a fun evening out!! Surely thought we would have heard from her by now.

Loretta, we can wait another day or so to see Stanley!

Lolly, stay warm!

hedgie said...

OMG---a horse from Days End Farm Horse Rescue got stuck in 5 feet of mud in a ravine today. Montgomery Co. Fire and Rescue got him out and he was un-injured! This is the place that took the 8 critical horses seized locally summer of '09, and nursed all but one back to health.

hedgie said...

A very good night, dear friends. Prayers for all.....peace.

Lolly said...

Heading to the shower! Jack is on the sofa and
has pulled up a blanket and said he is taking a short nap. LOL It is after 10 and time for bed.

Nite all! Sweet dreams!

Good morning, Early Birds!!

Hoda said...

Well I just got back. GREAT company we laughed and we ate we shared stories of our childhoods and we reflected. The food was good and it was a wonderful three hours spent with smart intelligent and articulate women...We were the last ones out of the restaurant and it was enjoyable.

THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALL so very much...today you listened to me and even though I complained it was OK and I was heard...{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Hoda said...

This is worth watching. Parahawking over Nepal

Good night Sweet Dreams and God Bless.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, no sign up on the highway, Yet. Remember, can only have it out there for 20 days. Tomorrow is the day that we have permission to put up the sign...must take it down by Oct.30. Business does pick up when the sign goes up:)
I don't know if you, Lynn, have ever hat a cortisone shot in your knee, but, by all means, get one! When I first started getting them, I felt like I had a brand new knee...doesn't work very well anymore, with bone rubbing against bone, so I may be getting a REAL new knee, very soon:)

I saw that horse rescue on 9 news and was reminded that we gave a nice sized donation to the Days End Horse Rescue...as most of us know, they do good work there!

I'm reminiscing about the 'Good Ole Days', when we had Miss Norma on here as our Sunshine Lady, every morning, along with Suz and Candy and myself, first thing in the morning, every morning. I could hardly wait to get out of bed and turn on the computer to see Lib and Belle and our Momster friends. Now, I don't get awake til 8 or 9 am, mainly because I don't go to sleep til so late. Funny how your sleeping habits change over the years. Just go with the flow:)
If I get into bed, right now, that will be early for me, so I'm going~

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL

♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS NORMA♫♪♫♪
WHEREVER YOU ARE♥

Costume Lady said...

HODA, we love you too, and you can complain anytime you wish and we will listen, always!♥

PA Nana said...

Looks like everyone has checked out for the night, except maybe Andy. But she is away from her nest traveling.

So prayers for all needs, well being and good rest.

God bless~

Lori O. said...

DIANN -
Are you still up?

Lori O. said...

Linda, more tomatoes? We're going to have to start calling you Hunts, Del Monte, Heinz or something! Oooooh, have you tried making ketchup?

Hoda, I'm so glad you had a wonderful time at dinner. You needed that! ♥

Lolly, hope you and Jack have a great hike today! Take lots of pictures!

Lynn, sorry about your knee pain. Glad you can get a shot if they help. I know they're painful, but worth it.

Wanda, Yay for the sign! Have you thought anymore about a website. You could put your web address on the sign just so people know they can check out your site. Are you going to have a costume party at the Soup Kitchen? ;o)

Lori O. said...

I am so glad we got the foster kittens back. They're slowly getting better and it's as if you can tell they are grateful. LeRoy follows me around the house as if he's a big, old sweet dog. Andie is here now just purring and pawing on me to pick her up, hold & pet her. These two still had feral moments before. Makes me smile!

Thinking of KAY and glad that Eileen is with her now as she continues her recovery. We miss you, KAY!

Prayers continue for all of KF Judy's family, especically husband Keith. Kay said they were a great couple.

Paula, missed your wonderful beach reports this weekend. Will you spend much time there in the fall?

Margy, you missed seeing Lynn's two eagles. Maybe you will see three today! There's always hope. :)

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,

We're back home! Got home about an hour before sunset. Haven't picked up Emma yet--we will go pick her up at noon tomorrow. They are going to give her a bath. When I called today to let them know when we would like to pick her up, the guy said she was doing very well, and was SO AFFECTIONATE! Looks like she has them wrapped around her little paw! The drive home took us about 8 hours, with 3 stops to get out of the car and move around a bit. Our friend, Andrea D., doesn't have a computer at her house right now. She had WiFi, but the service was so poor that she wasn't able to get online much of the time. She is looking into cable internet right now.

It has taken forever to get caught up here! Prayers continue for Boomer (glad he's getting better!), for Lori's kitties, and also for Kay's friend, Judy, who has made her final journey. So sorry to hear that. Prayers for her family and friends to find peace and comfort.

Prayers for Carolyn's godson, Troy! Hope there will be no lingering after-effects of the concussion.

Prayers continue for Bev's recovery!

Lynn, LOVE Liesl's pictures!

Sorry to hear that Roger Williams has passed away. What an amazing talent!

Jo, prayers for Izzy!

Shirley, I bet Hunter had a fantastic time! What types of rocks did he find?

Well, I am slam wore out, so I am going to call it a day. Have said prayers for everyone, and every creature. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Sleep tight, everyone! God bless, and goodnight.
Love all of you! :o]

Lori O. said...

Welcome home, Andy! Bet you are soooo excited to see EMMA!!! She's gonna be one squirmy, butt wiggling little girl when she sees you. :)

DanaMo said...

Good morning. Coffee is on...

DanaMo said...

Hi Andy, glad to hear you made it home safely. Your little girl is going to be so excited.

Boomer seems to be fine. Again thanks for all the prayers. Let's hope he doesn't get into anything now for a long time. I can't take it!

Haven't heard from my hubby, but I assume they made it to Dayton last night. He knows I go to bed early so I guess that's why he didn't call or text.

No students today or tomorrow. Professional day today in Frederick :P Tomorrow parent/teacher conferences.

DanaMo said...

Lolly I am so jealous! Your trip sounds so wonderful. I hope we can take a trip like that sometime in the future. Your pictures are beautiful too. Thanks for sharing them on FB.

DanaMo said...

JudyE-my avatar is actually my hubby, but Aric does look very much like him. That picture was on our trip to CA, I think we are at California Adventure.

I want to meet up on the 24th. I was thinking I need a personal day, I haven't had one, but my aide has, so it's my turn. I would love to put faces and names together, I'm still so disappointed that Kay and I didn't meet, but I know we will on one of my trips down to OH.

Okay...I think I might be alone here.

Lori O. said...

LOL DanaMO! You're not alone, but I know the feeling and don't like it either.

I did a double take on your avatar after JUDYE said it was your son, because I thought it was your husband. Thought, he looks pretty mature for a college freshman! :)

Lynne2 said...

Good morning and Happy Columbus Day!

HI HO HI HO it's off to work I go~
try to check in later, have a good one everyone!

Lori O. said...

LYNNE, love the avatar! So cute.

Have a great day at work doing all the wonderful things you do for the animals.

LORETTA, I saw this morning online where the Patuxent Wildlife Festival is coming up on Saturday. Do you have to do anything special for it?

T-Bird said...

Good morning eagle momsters and dadsters.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING LADIES...

THELMA,is it foggy down there in Bluefield? very foggy here. 48, going up to a gorgeous 81°.
A good day for shopping for costumes:)

Costume Lady said...

DANA, I don't know who all can meet with JUDY, but I will make it whenever the rest of you can. I am very flexable (Gene can watch the shop while I'm gone).

Costume Lady said...

LORI, I guess you will be working when Judy plans her visit...I've forgotten your working hours.

Costume Lady said...

No costume party, LORI, for our Soup Kitchen folks, but, we do decorate the tables with Halloweenie thingys:)

Costume Lady said...

Uh oh, now I am all alone, talking to myself. I'm going to help myself to a cup of coffee, if you CAFE ladies don't mind and I bought some bacon, eggs and muffins for everyone. They are over there on the counter by the coffee pot;)

Lori O. said...

Thanks WANDA, I was so hungry, and Lord knows you are the cook in this group!

Lori O. said...

And THELMA and Buddy are right over there to the left. We're all here.

Lori O. said...

We need to find a restaurant for lunch to meet Judy...some place EASY to find. I'm so navigationally challenged!

Good Morning Lori, Andy, DanaMo, Lynne2, Thelma,Wanda, JudyE, Hedgie-Lynn/e, Jim and Lurkers ( :

Lolly & Jack enjoy your hike.

Peace That Passes All Understanding. God's PEACE.

Hedgie-Lynn/e will you be going to meet up when JudyE comes in??

wvgal_dana said...

Hoda so happy for you that enjoying
Thanksgiving with that special group of ladies. Ended up to be so GRAND ( :
Thanks Hoda for the great videos. I
want to add to my "bucket list"
parahawking. Will probably never get to Nepal lol

When I was in Colorado this past June-July. Remember the picture of the Tibet Store. With the lady and the dog? Well she is from Nepal.

I am going to email that Parahawking in Nepal video to her.

hedgie said...

No, Dana, I will be at the beach.

hedgie said...

Jim---you are up WAY too early!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie-Lynn/e ( :

On my facebook page how do I get to see the pictures I posted there?

hedgie said...

You have to go to your profile page, Dana.

hedgie said...

Lori, the spreadsheet does not automatically update. The best thing for folks to do to add their info to it is to just send the info to Delphia (or me) and she can put it in the listing (or I can).

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle Pals....

Sunny Yellow Columbine....for Kay ☼ and Lolly, Wanda, and all our Yellow and Columbine Fans.
It is in a bit concrete pot at the Berkeley Springs State Park, in town.
Wow, lots of neat news on here since I last checked

magpie said...

bit - BIG

So neat, Lori's kittens are coming along so nicely
and Great report from Andrea about Emma !

Nice, JudyE, another eagle sighting.

magpie said...

Safe Travel Wishes for the Bragg Bunch.....

May their next Northward Journey come about very soon !!

Hug 'em hard before they leave, Jo
and smother everyone with Mema-lovin' kisses xoxo ♥

Costume Lady said...

Sweet MARGY, beautiful yellow flower, but I do believe it is a Nasturtium. I too, thought it was a columbine until I realized that they don't bloom this time of the year only Spring and Early Summer.

magpie said...

JudyE
I have a couple of days off the Sun-Mon-Tues that you will be here...
BUT I might be going out of town to visit family...I will keep a bead on what's going on and hook up with you if possible

magpie said...

Lolly
Fantabulous Avatar....!!

magpie said...

Okay Mrs. Plant Lady!
Thanks...included the leaves, and that is a giveaway isn't it!

Appreciate the information....

magpie said...

Can't wait to tell Lynne, that I think my Morning Glories are going to bloom!!
Same ones as are at GG's I think,
Wanda ☺

magpie said...

I did put some new pics up on Wildflowers and Feathers and Fur....
not sure if I got those Asters identified correctly, but I...well, hope so.

I elected NOT to put up the Wild Spider that I saw at Berkeley Springs a few weeks ago ☺

magpie said...

Okay
going to throw my achy and pain event on here.
I have something going on with my right index finger...could it be gout? Painful, swollen...
could be arthritis, or maybe I stoved it and forgot that I did...
buy y'all might be lucky if it slows down my posting...
Need to get it checked out...soon.

magpie said...

Magnificent Liesl and Marlon pictures, Lynn....
♥ ☺

I'll be going through Tomahawk again today, Lynn, I hope that Lori is right, maybe I will see Two or Three Eagles !!

magpie said...

Hoda:
Wonderful report of your Thanksgiving Gathering with your friends...
You just about put us there with you, with your narrative
xoxo ♥

magpie said...

Full Moon coming up on Wednesday Oct 12.

Maybe we should name this the Columbus Moon, or
maybe
The Mema Jo Moon


Skies had better be cleard up for it by then !!!
So we can all go out and Howl at It...

magpie said...

Okay
We are headed towards a SPLIT not too long from now

:(


Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone
xoxo ♥

Hoda said...

Good Morning.
Much Better today.
This is a song for you all with my GRATITUDE for Who and How you were yesterday with my complaining STAND BY ME
THANK YOU MY FRIENDS.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Jubby just spoiled me with a great breakfast!

Did not get as cold as predicted last night. Think the low here was 38. It is a beautiful day...bright blue sky! Great day to get out and about!

JudyE....do not forget to visit Wanda's Costume Shop!

Prayers needed....Joey (who has had 2 back surgeries is suffering again. He is having a CT scan today. Laurel has inservice, the boys are home with Joey except when he leaves for the scan, then they will be home alone. Joseph is very responsible, not worried about them. Worried about Joey! Football and lifting weights ruined his back. Coaches are not going to like it when he insists his boys do not do squats and lifting.

Mema Jo said...

One of my favorite songs Hoda! Yes, we will always Stand By each other!

Good late morning - almost didn't make it! I've been watching a Downy Woodpecker out in my tree. He scales those limbs like a pro.
PPO (Pot Plant Owl) has 2 healthy owlets and if the 3rd egg doesn't hatch within a day, it probably isn't going to hatch.

Lolly said...

Lori...It is good to hear the kitties are doing well. Do not know how you are possibly going to be able to give them up.

Have charged the battery on my camera. Ready to take lots of pictures today and tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Lori, I too thought it was DanaMo and her hubby - I guess I miss any explanation when Dana first started using that as her profile pic.

Lolly said...

Time to head out!

Have a great day!☺♥

Mema Jo said...

Judy I am free at this time on Monday the 24th. Yes, Steve Chase needs to give permission to come on the property.
I WILL SEND HIM AN EMAIL REQUEST NOW FOR MONDAY GIFT SHOP AND PERHAPS LUNCH UP IN THEIR CAFE AND OF COURSE VIEWING THE NEST

hedgie said...

Grrrr.....phone calls made with only call-backs as answers. So frustrating.

Margy, is your poor finger hot to the touch? Could be gout or arthritis if so....also possible that it could be tendonitis like Loretta is dealing with. Please get it checked, sooner rather than later!

Lolly, glad it didn't drop too low!
Enjoy your day! Prayers for Joey...hope the boys will be okay.

hedgie said...

Neat that you found a nest by the garage, JudyE! And Margy I hope you see the birds I saw yesterday!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good afternoon all. I am going to the doctor this afternoon. I am beginning to believe that I might have fibromyalgia. I have a lot of the symptoms so more will be revealed.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...
