Good Afternoon everyone
Thank you Steve for the fresh thread
on such a Beautiful day

Will call others over

Hoda said...

THANKS STEVE FOR THE NEW THREAD. Thanks Jo for the call over.

Good morning/ good afternoon everyone...

Without the sun, as it is not here covered by cloudds and rain, the colours are deep and in a way vibrant...lovely to look out of the window

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Steve for the new thread. Hope your day goes well.

Mema Jo thank you for the call over here. ( :

Good Afternoon Hoda good to see you. Did you sleep well? What time is it there now?

Mema Jo said...

Glad to see that you all got my 'call over' - Beautiful day here in the valley. Windows and doors are open wide.

I can see that we need this Sandman on a regular schedule - seems he didn't get to everyone until quite late last evening!

No plans other then just to watch the birds and squirrels. My Bragg Girls are arriving tonight - no school in NC on Friday or Mon.... Anxious to see them.

Hoda said...

JO and DANA, The Sandman arrived and I slept very well...I think he was here by 10:30 PM last night.Thanks for asking...It is 9:55 AM here I am three hours behind you all...Eastern time zone that is...I am the same like California time. Pacific Time.

A full day for me today. I go to my regular yoga practice and then to CFUW RESOLUTION COMMITTEE MEETING. We have THREE resolutions to deal with. Polygamy, there is a community in Creston, a couple of hours away from here who practices polygamy. Their leader was jailed for life in Texas a few months ago...some of the children involved where from this xommunity in BC...The other two resolutions deal with Mental Health in British Columbia and the third is a resolution to deal with generic drugs to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. The discussions should be lively. CFUW is the Canadian Federation of University Women, a group I joined because of their advocacy roles nationally and internationally. They also have socializing activities.
I hope yu have a GREAT DAY everyone...I will start getting ready to go and will be in lurking mode. I will check in before I leave...

hedgie said...

Thanks, Jo! So glad that your Bragg girls are coming home again! Enjoy!

Have a great afternoon, Hoda! Sounds busuy, and should be fruitful!

My chickadees are back! They were checking out the lawn ornament that they tried to nest in earlier in the year.

wvgal_dana said...

Hoda you already have a busy day scheduled. I pray the children that was involved in the polygamy. Get the help they need to go into a better constructive life for themselves.

JudyEddy said...

THANKS FOR THE SPANKIN NEW THREAD STEVE

JudyEddy said...

Yeah I only have 55 comments to read plus the new thread of 7 Had a nice time at the park was nice and cool

PA Nana said...

Thanks Steve! Welcome to Thursday.
Hope it's a good one.

Have to find my directions for adding pictures. I'm ready to take the plunge.

bbl

Mema Jo said...

Checked on the Potted Plant Momma Owl
Eggs should be hatching but none have to date!

Cannot bring up the Red Panda Cam.
Cubs should be about 3 mos old.

Hoda said...

LORI you askwed about colour changes in British Columbia. We have a good display of colours and it is breath taking for me and yet we do not have the deep reds that you find on the east coast. Do take pictures.
MARGY thanks for the avatar with colours and it is cute.
Chickadees are back at LYNN'S I smiled.

NatureNut said...

Thank you for new thread! Checking in for now~~~have to read back. Was downloading "Stanley" pics.
Loverly day here---SUN and 70°!

stronghunter said...

Hoda, you must be speaking of Warren Jeffs. Scary guy.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hello everybody!

Kay said...

Good Afternoon and thanks to Steve for the new thread !

Color me frustrated ! The doc in charge of me through this infection, an infection specialist associated with Riverside Methodist Hospital, is away this week and has not seen my scan results. Receptionist not sure if he'll be in next week. Knowing my primary phyician is to receive all test results I called her office. She has been away this week and is expected to return on Monday. So, I'll wait a few more days after all. Taking my antibiotic, behaving myself and feeling just a bit stronger each day. Down another couple of pounds and wondering when that will stop. Losing another 10 or 15 pounds would make me happy, though I'm not pleased with this particular method !

LORI, sorry to hear the kitties are in such bad shape. Something to do with their feral beginnings ????

LYNN, happy to hear Liesl has completed her formal education !☺ Thanks for the heads up on the latest Eagle rescue.

DANAMO, what a kick to hear about Aric's homecoming ! So good to hear how much he likes DU now !

LOLLY and ANDY, nice to hear from each of you while on vacation. Both making the best of some unexpected weather patterns. Good for you !

Kay said...

Hello SHARON ! How is SISSY today ?

Hoda said...

Yes SHIRLEY Warren Jeffs is the leader of the sect that is in Creston BC. I agree with you he is a very scary guy and the community IS isolated from the larger community of Creston...They say his brother is going to be acting leader getting his directions from Jeffs in jail...they transported girls across the border as young as 10 or 12 years of age to become "wives"!!!


I am off and will be back a bit after four my time which will be seven eastern time.

Have a GREAT DAY everyone.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Kay, Sissy is doing better although still feeling a little yucky. She is home and I think may have overdone it some today. She is going to the lake in the morning for some R&R. Hopefully she will see eagles to take her mind off her troubles. I am going over on Saturday and really hope to see eagles. More will be revealed.

stronghunter said...

That is indeed frustrating, Kay. You would think they would have someone on call or covering for those doctors who could talk with you.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Kay! Frustrating to say the least!
Yes, I suppose there is nothing to do
but Wait and keep doing what your doing. Sometimes dr's don't realize what they put their patients through.
You have a good relaxing weekend in spite of your drs' traveling around!

Lolly said...

Hello Sharon! Hello everyone! Well, we have our electricity back but our furnace is out. Getting a new motor for it tomorrow. When it rains....it pours. :(

Shared on fb some pics taken this morning by the radio station. New balloon I saw that was really great was a butterfly. It was really cute!

Not too terribly cold here but boy the wind is blowing!

stronghunter said...

I remember that I had noticed there was a community of that group in Canada. Unfortunate situation for those children.

stronghunter said...

Kay, I think those doctors would not tolerate such treatment for themselves or their own family members.

Lolly said...

Not sure what we are going to do this afternoon. We have been hanging around here as a mobile repairman came. He came quickly and specializes in electricity so that was good. However, he has now taken the furnace to his shop so we can go out. Hmmmmm???? Lots to see...what shall we do?

Lolly said...

Kay, sorry to read about the doctors. So frustrating! Glad you are feeling stronger each day, but what is with continuing to loose weight? How is your appetite?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Kay, the benefit I had with my CT scans was being a transcriptionist, I knew one of the radiologists and would ask him to read it and then he would just tell me right then what it showed.

Lolly said...

Kay, sorry to read about the doctors. So frustrating! Glad you are feeling stronger each day, but what is with continuing to loose weight? How is your appetite?

Lolly said...

I am getting really frustrated with the computer connection. I post and it just sits there. Post again...I have two posts! Grrrr!

Kay said...

SHARON, hope the R&R at the lake will be a real tonic for SISSY and that you'll all see some Eagles this weekend ! What a great advantage being a medical transcriptionist gives you !

SHIRLEY, you are so right about what the docs would expect for themselves or their loved ones ! I can only hope if there was anything requiring immediate attention the Radiologist would have red flagged it so someone else would take a look. Both offices have several other doctors.

wvgal_dana said...

I see Mema Jo is getting company.
The Bragg girls are coming to Jo's
tonight. Looks like they are staying till maybe Sunday or Monday. Oh Jo is going to be having FUN ( :

Hi Sharon - Tell Bev to STOP over
doing it!!! Glad she will rest at
the lake. BEV REST!!!! Sharon you
are going to the lake. Make sure
that sister of yours stops doing
stuff. Sharon hope you all see
an eagle ( :

Hoda that is so sick. He is in jail
and his brother will follow his
commands from jail. Those poor
young girls!!!! They are "sick people" SAD :(

Kay hang in there. Still praying when they tell you the results they will be excellent. No that is not a fun way to loose weight.

Lolly glad you got your electricity back but sorry about the furnace motor. Stack lots of blankets over you tonight. Did
you take an have an electric blanket with you?

Lolly we are just HAPPY we are getting your post to read ( :

PA Nana said...

WooHoo!!! don't know how I did it, but I did!

Check out Nana's pix. Couldn't title the one, but it's a praying mantis capturing a butterfly.

Can anyone tell me the name of the butterfly?

Need another cup of coffee. Be back after I catch up.

stronghunter said...

If it is cool there, surely Lolly and Jack could pick up a small electric heater that would be safe to use in the camper.

Kay said...

LOLLY, I have a good appetite, but find I can only eat about half of what I ate 6 weeks ago. I reach an, "I'm so full I'll gag if I take another bite" feeling quickly and have to cover and refrigerate the rest. Saving money and losing weight in doing so. Wondering what could have happened in the course of this infection to so drastically change my metabolism ?

stronghunter said...

I like the ones that look like radiators because they seem safer.

wvgal_dana said...

I have put a new blog up called "What Happened In September 3, 1988". In case you want to click on my name and go see it. I think it is the 3rd one down.

Kay said...

DIANN, I can't help with IDing the critters, but your pics, your flowers are gorgeous !

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Kay, same thing happened with my liver abscess but it slowly got better and I stopped losing weight. These abscesses must affect everything in your body.

wvgal_dana said...

Diann I think that is called a Buckeye Butterfly.

Kay said...

DANA WV, thanks for sharing the pix. That was clearly a happy day for you, Ed and Raschida !

stronghunter said...

Buckeye Butterfly

Perhaps a buckeye, Diann.

stronghunter said...

And the flowers are beautiful.

wvgal_dana said...

I left a comment Diann but I don't see where it posted on your blog.

wvgal_dana said...

I do believe me and Shirley are right.

I just went to Margy's blog of Feather, Fur and Miscellaneous and she has a Buckeye showing on the pictures she put up on September 12th.

hedgie said...

Two sides of house, 3 of 4 mulch beds and 1/2 of driveway leaf and branch/limb free!!! Have never had so much debris this early in the season----summer was really rough on the trees!! Whew.....need a sweet pick-me upper!

hedgie said...

Jo, two of the potted plant owls have hatched. I had a link a couple of days ago showing them when mama left the nest!

hedgie said...

Unless, of course, someone posted a last-years video on FB!

wvgal_dana said...

EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT COMING TO ME!!!!!!!!!! Oh I am just so so excited!!! NOT!!! Remember I told you all to stop using the tablets you drop in the back of your toilet tanks. Well I am getting 2 new toilets. Due to it has eaten the sealer around the screws in the tanks. They could rebuild them but the cost is almost the same. I just love what I have to spend my monies on. SAD, SAD, SAD. I will NEVER USE THOSE TABLETS EVER AGAIN!!!

Tomorrow I am getting my hair done. Now that is for me. Some people shop to make them happy. Me I'm getting my do done ( :

hedgie said...

Kay, you can go to where ever you had the scan done and request a copy of the report!

JudyEddy said...

Waiting for sleeping beauty to arise I wore her out I guess Have been putting video on facebook Not using YouTube will probably keep stickily for nature video I think May open another to keep private in the future of Jordyn I have been getting email comments from people about my sunset and egret video too cool I have it marked as public mights as well have the public enjoy Fl and may get some tourist down LOL

Lolly said...

Shirley, we have a small electric heater and we will be using it!!!

Have posted the 15 pictures I took this morning on fb.

Will try to upload with the blog. Computer seems to be working faster at the moment.

JudyEddy said...

Been doing reading also in between uploading 9 videos 5 are done and still waiting to finish Odd I don't see the video on my news feed with everyone else only on my wall profile I don't understand they use to show up in both places what I have had to resort to is clicking share and then delete the original other wise it is twice on my page I have asked Known issue of facebook but no answer so far I'm sure they don't care either way JMHO

JudyEddy said...

DANAMO so glad ARIC is home for a visit Its so nice when we can be with our families

So funny about LIESL and her beau typical teenager alway boy crazy LOL


Your forcast ANDY gave me shivers LOL Funny thing this am at the park Jordyn told me she was cold she was in long pants and Angie did pack a jacket because she said she was cold silly kid lo 70 is not cold LOL

hedgie said...

Blogger cop won't let me post a comment on your pics, Diann. This is what I have written three times:

Pretty flowers, Di!!!! Hurray---you did it!!! Can't tell you what kind of flutterby it is, but know that many others will know!!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie-Lynn/e I am looking at chat for the Potted Owls. Someone posted on Tuesday at 9:33am "omg she feedig a baby I think-really cool". Then the same person posted Tuesday 9:34am "change that I think she eating."

I don't think there has been any hatch yet. At least following the chat there has NOT been.

PA Nana said...

Kay, thanks.

It could be the antibiotics causing the loss of appetite. I'm sure when this is over you'll feel more like eating. That's what happened to me.

Just wish I could have kept the weight off, but the bad back made being more active impossible. I dream of playing tennis..... ha.

So glad Bev is better and will get some rest. Sharon be sure she doesn't overdo.

Hoda, you busy gal. All this activity could contribute to your inability to fall asleep.

Jo, ♪♫ Oh happy day!!♫♪ Have fun with the "gang."

Lynn, chickadees are my favorites!
They're here every day. Love it!

Loretta, thanks again for your directions on how to post pictures. You had sent them to me back in November '10 and I saved them. Though it didn't look exactly like you wrote, I did finally post some pictures. Yipee!

hedgie said...

Can't post on yor blog, either, Dana. Grrrrr......this is so maddening!
Nice pictures! That sure was your happy day! Raschida was a blond then!!!

hedgie said...

LOL, JudyE.....which reminds me, I misspoke last night when I said that Liesl and Marlon have unrequited love.....it is two-way. I should have said unconsummated love!!!!!

Kay said...

LYNN, thanks for the hint on the scan results ! Had no idea that was possible. I'm not feeling like getting out for anything, but may do that while Eileen is here, if I hit a brick wall again on Monday.

hedgie said...

Here's the video:
Owlets

There is definitely something moving in there, and it looks like someone is taking flash pictures, too. This was on Tues.

stronghunter said...

Interesting video, Lynn. Thanks for posting it.

PA Nana said...

Can't post on Dana's blog but what a happy couple.

Lynn, the owl video was cute. Love those eyes.

hedgie said...

Well, did a little more...and I am done for the day! Weather is supposed to hold, so "tomorrah is anotha day," as Scarlett said!!

hedgie said...

Kay, when does Eileen arrive??? Know you are excited!

wvgal_dana said...

The cam is down for Davenport, Iowa. They are working on theirs too.
Here is a video taken on 10/5/11


EAGLE IN NEST EATING

wvgal_dana said...

There has been a raccoon in the nest at Davenport, Iowa.

Hi gang :)

Those of you on FB, would you please go to this page and 'like' my video of my dog, Miss Lily Anne? It's a contest to win a spot on a TV segment "Pets On Parade". You have to go to that page and 'like' the video there for it to count.

Kay said...

LYNN, Eileen will arrive about 3pm Sat.---originally coming in on Friday, but her daughter is arriving that day for a weekend in Grand Rapids. She and her boyfriend will be with Eileen Friday, her dad Saturday and back to the U of MI Sunday. My loss, but for a good cause ! Oh, yes, I'm excited----she will stay with me and she's really good company !

hedgie said...

Kay, sounds like a good plan...just too bad you can't see your gd, too!!!

Raccoon was sure liking that nest!

PA Nana said...

The masked bandit tearing up the eagle nest was cute. Thanks for posting Dana.

Have to leave this desktop, grap a netbook and go to the kitchen to make din din.

Please excuse the typos from there.

hedgie said...

What are you cooking, Diann? SO good to hear that you are up and about again!!!

wvgal_dana said...

edgie-Lynn/e Can you go by to my blog and go to the one I posted the wedding pictures and SEE IF YOU CAN LEAVE A COMMENT NOW.

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie was suppose to be

PA Nana said...

Lynn, tonight's menu is ground turkey meatloaf, baked potatoes (must have potatoes for my Irish hubby), and a veggie to be decided.

Doing better on the medicine,b ut it leaves me loopy. Still have to use pain meds but not as often. Will see the dr. next Thursday. Thanks for asking.

To those leaving comments re my pix, I'm getting them in email. Is that the way it goes?

PA Nana said...

Dana, I tried again to post to your blog but couldn't.

PA Nana said...

Forgot to thank Shirley, etc. for the ID of the butterfly. Duh, somewhere I have to 2 books to ID them. Must hunt for them.

NCSuzan said...

Hi! Everyone. Isn't this weather wonderful? I believe I can breathe easier with the humidity levels down. And love having the windows open.

Kay, hope you are doing better but understand about the doctors. How frustrating.

Jo, there are two hatches at the PPO. Cute white balls of fur. Pictures are on the blog.

I hoppe everyone is doing well. Please take care yourselves.

hedgie said...

No luck that time, either, Dana. :(

Diann, they should only be coming to email if you checked the notification box. Did MINE come that way?? Cause they sure didn't post!!!

wvgal_dana said...

What it tells me to do is to go into your blog. Get to "settings"
on that page should be about letting people comment. If it is not there. Then go to "setting" then to "comment" and it should be places to let people comment. I must still not have something set right. Don't know what to change in there???

hedgie said...

Hi, Suzan!!!! Good to see you! Oh, yes, the lower humidity makes a BIG difference, doesn't it??!! Today was perfect, really----not hot or cold, not windy, and no humidity to speak of!!!! It was a great day to be outdoors. Glad that you are feeling better!

hedgie said...

Dana, I don't think it's you or anything you can fix. Many of the blogs have suddenly stopped accepting comments---and no one has changed anything to cause it to happen. It's the stoooopid blogger cop! Even the logging out thing that JudyE discovered a while back doesn't work all the time.

wvgal_dana said...

NOT A LINK Hedgie try again now please.

PA Nana said...

Checked my blog and see Jo & Paula's comments. thanx

Sorry Lynn, nothing from you,but know you'll like the pixs.

Now must keep my mind on the chore - getting supper

wvgal_dana said...

Hi ( : Susan nice to see you drop in and with good information on the Potted Owls. I had been to the site and could not see any chicks. Was watching the chat and they did not say any eggs hatched. THANK YOU ( :

PA Nana said...

potplantowl.blogspot.com

NCSuzan said...

This is ther blog that has pics and news from the owners of the pot!

NCSuzan said...

Aren't we funny about our blogs and where we go to get our news of our animals and such. I love it!

wvgal_dana said...

I have been watching the Australia Sea Eaglet today. It ate an eel. I checked into why only 1 eaglet. It was born 7/4/11 called S-1 the other was born 7/7/11 called S-2. It died when a wet pigeon was brought into nest and the carcass layed ontop of S-1 and it suffocated. The one in the nest is growing it is S-2 for Sea Eaagle 2.

wvgal_dana said...

Should have added S-1 passed Aug. 19th.

hedgie said...

Nope, Dana. Doesn't work.

NCSuzan said...

Kynn, thank you. I do feel better. My doctor is recommending that I consider a transplant though. Do not think it is a road I will travel. Transplants do not mean longer life.

hedgie said...

How awful for the sea eaglet. Bad mom or dad!

NCSuzan said...

Lynn, I am so sorry that I mistyped your name. I am all thumbs!

wvgal_dana said...

Yep Susan that is where I got my information to put onto the forum Windows on Wildlife. Windows on Wildlife has NCTC, Norfolk, most Eagle sites, Osprey sites, Owl sites, Peregrine Falcons, Loon Cams, Other Birds--white storks, whooping crane, hummiongbirds, hawks, purple martins, blue tits, kestrels, and other birds.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Hedgie-Lynn/e I will now GIVE UP ON trying to get it so people can comment on my blogs. LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Susan so your doctor wants you to get a lung transplant. You aren't going with that you say.

NCSuzan said...

Thanks Dana. I have it in my favorites but have not used it.

NCSuzan said...

Dana, I do not see a benefit from it. I will go to Duke and take the transplant "tour". Would not make a final decision without having all the info that is available. But I really do not see me doing it.

Lynne2 said...

Hi all! Fell slam asleep watching TV last night and never got back here!

Nice to see you Suz! Glad you joined in are feeling good!

Diann, I was able to post on your pictures, but it's weird, there is a box with scroll bars to use to get down to where the secret word is!

Lynne2 said...

wow, Suz, heavy duty stuff about the recommend transplant...

NCSuzan said...

Hi, Lynne! Good to "see" you. Yeah it is heavy duty. Sorry you had car issues. That was wierd. Hope everything is straigt now.

NCSuzan said...

Lynne, loooovvveeeee the bat!

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Suzan, good to see you!

Diann, I was able to post a comment on your pics! Good for you!

NCSuzan said...

Need to eat!

No matter how long it is between my posts on here you are all always friendly and accepting. Thank you.

Take care everyone!

NCSuzan said...

Paula, hi! Couldn't leave without "speaking to you. Hope you arer well and enjoying your beach home.

Lynne2 said...

you too Suz, hope to see you again soon!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow Suzan that's a big decision.

wvgal_dana said...

Now this is really stupid

Westboro Baptist Church uses iPhone to announce protest at Steve Job's funeral

paula eagleholic said...

Suzan, thanks for the blog link. First I've looked at the PPO since ya'll started talking about them. They really are in a potted plant!

paula eagleholic said...

Oh they are so sick...give that family some peace...what the heck is there to protest about! And they are using an iphone...what hypocrites!

wvgal_dana said...

I know Paula that is why I posted it...grrrrrr

Susan it is so nice when you drop in. Keep us up to date...we continue to pray for you ♥

Hoda said...

Back and caught up with the bolg...
SUZANE I'llkeep you in my prayers for the transplant decision.

Good pictures DANA

LOLLY wonderful to think things are getting fixed and you are doing welll with the process of it all. I will go to FB to check your pictures.

SHIRLEY The Polygamist community in Creston has been taken to court several times and they still work on it...The Charter of Rights and Freedoms: Religious section is what they use so fsar for their defence...nothing has stuck with a guilty verdict so far...

Judie said...

Jo, potted owl, at least one hatch. Have seen it move.

NCSuzan, I wish you the best.

So very tired. A truce has been called for the moment. Am going to try to relax a few then head for the pillows. I apologize for not being current and hope that everyone is doing well.

The sandperson is headed to visit Hoda. The night light is on. Restful sleep for all.

Mema Jo said...

Whoa! Too early for the sandman to go to Hoda's!! Just lock him in the closet for a while! lol

Judie - one hatch! Whoo Hoo! I have been checking but I am happy you saw one move. I forget to go to the cam until it is already dark there! I must do better and hope to see 3 owlets by the time I do!

Mema Jo said...

I think I have 2 TV shows tonight!


Suzan - keep us posted please. Prayers for you to make the right decision.
Why do you say you wouldn't live longer?

wvgal_dana said...

Judie I am sending prayers your way. If you are tired already and going to bed. I am worried about you being exhausted. Whether work or the cats. ^j^ ♥♥

Lynne2 said...

those westboro people aren't nice....I thought the whole point of being Christian was to be like Christ, and while none of us are perfect....good grief! I really don't think Jesus would do things like that!

Lynne2 said...

Glad there has been a truce Judie! Hang in there!

Hoda said...

JO You all do not keep the sandman too long overnight for example...1:00AM your time is when you should all make sure he is at my place...LOL...THANKS JUDIE.

Mema Jo said...

2 owlets and 1 egg in the Potted Plant
per blog discussion....

DanaMo said...

Worrying about Boomerang. Not sure how or what he could have gotten into. Seemed fine earlier, went for a walk and he has been with me all evening. Tried to give him a piece of steak at dinner and he wouldn't take it...very strange. Then he threw up (just liquid). The only thing I can think of, is that when we came home from our walk, and after Java had her walk, I gave them all a "Better than Ears". Not sure if he swallowed it whole and it's giving him a problem or if he somehow managed to get something when I wasn't looking. All socks are accounted for...I'll be worried all night now.

Lolly said...

Hi all! Be patient with me as I am not reading back on the blog. Oh a little, but not all. Do not have the time.☺

Repairman came to the RV park really quickly. The furnace will hopefully be fixed by tomorrow. Need it fixed before we go to Colorado. Snow expected there. Yikes!

This afternoon we went to Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks Natl. Monument and took a mile hike. It was fantastic. Posted pic on fb. Having trouble loading to a blog to show on here. Will try again.

Tomorrow we hang around and wait for the repairman, I guess. LOL

Lolly said...

Oh, Dana, do hope Boomerang is okay! This morning when we arrived in the dark at the Balloon park a man was throwing a lighted boomerang way up high. It was fun to watch. Just thought of that when I saw your post.

Lynne2 said...

oh no DanaMo...not good! Hope he's OK!

Lolly....that sucks about the furnace, hope they get there early and Get 'er done!

Lynne2 said...

oh Lolly, I was just reading on Monarch Watch that there are many Pecan trees with LOTS of Monarchs roosting and feeding!

paula eagleholic said...

DanaMO, hope Boomerang feels better soon!

DanaMo said...

Oh Lolly your trip sounds wonderful!

I hope Boomer is okay. I can't imagine what he got, but he is still not acting right. Wouldn't take an ice cube from me just now. I keep trying to think back to when he started acting funny. I can't think...I'm pretty sure he was fine on our walk, but now I am second guessing.

Lolly said...

LOL Lynne! When the guy was here he said we had a water leak too. When it rains, it pours! We will take care of that when we get home. Have had this trailer 10 years and we have really put the miles on it.

We are fine without the furnace. We have warm clothes but also the oven or burners and we do have a small electrical heater. I also brought my electric lap blanket with me. We are fine! It is just such a nuisance to have to wait for the repairman.

Lynne2 said...

DanaMo, keep a close watch on Boomerang....given his antics, he could have swallowed something that has become blocked. Ordinarily I wouldn't worry about a short time of not eating and vomiting just once. But with the fact he is a swallower, don't wait too long to get him to the vet if he isn't improved by the morning.

Lolly said...

I do have to say the desert is beautiful right now. I guess the rain brought out all the blossoms. Every thing is blooming!

MARGY....I thought of you as I was enjoying all the things in bloom.

Lolly said...

Our dinner is almost ready, I have to go right now. I will be baaaack!☺

hedgie said...

Wow, Suzan....a transplant.....how scary! But definitely consider all the factsbefore rejecting it out of hand. Some great successes in that field of medicine.
Will pray that things are made clear and that you make your decision without too much turmoil!

I am getting sleepy eyed! Not so sure
about those later TV shows.....

Check back in later.... ♥

hedgie said...

Gee, Hoda....what about child abuse, illegally transporting children across the border, and any number of other things having to do with child welfare??
Surely hoping that your group can effect change---AND prosecution!

hedgie said...

Jo....scroll back up to where I reposted the video that I put on Tues. to see the owlet(s)!

Judie, sorry you are exhausted. Hope classes went well today. Great to hear that there is some peace. Sleep well!

Lynne, those Westboro jerks don't read the same Bible I do. They make me so angry.

Evening All!

Have had two busy and long work days.....which were unexpected!

Am going to spend time with hubby tonight since I haven't seen him in a couple days!

Well try and check in tomorrow!

Love to all xoxo ♥

hedgie said...

Lolly, PLEASE do not use oven or burners for heat!!!

TV time....BBIALW.

Hoda said...

DANAMO Putting Boomerang in my prayers that it is not too serious. THinking of youand your family.

I know LYNN they are not able to get the correct wording/chargesin the polygamy case...and with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms they have their work cut out for them...All the laws require that someone accuse, and the community goes into shut down and silence. Those who spoke up were over the legal age of consent and they have their own families to protect because they would have to invovle them also as they enetered in the contracts to make multiple wives...It is very frustrating.

Lynne2 said...

NO OVEN OR BURNERS LOLLY!!!!!

And when it rains, it pours....now if only it did so in Texas.

Lynne2 said...

I've got to get to bed....

DanaMo, keep us posted on Boomerang.

Good night and prayers for all! I'll try to check in from work tomorrow!

paula eagleholic said...

I think Texas is supposed to get rain today or tomorrow...saw it on the weather this morning...

stronghunter said...

Be very careful with an electric heater, too, Lolly.

We are a bossy bunch, aren't we?

We had to use an electric heater in a trailer once, but it was one of those that I do not trust (red hot coils), so we unplugged it when we went to bed and used lots of covers. It did get cold.

I have had a house fire. I get very paranoid for a good reason.

I like the heaters with no red hot coils. The ones that look like the old-fashioned radiators.

stronghunter said...

I do not think the Westboro people have any interest in being Christian. They just want to provoke people. It serves their purpose if you give them a reason to sue you.

stronghunter said...

They came to our church with signs saying things I will not repeat here. We were told that they just want to make you do something that will give them the excuse to take action against you.

Hoda said...

LOLLY I agree, I am concerned about burners and oven for heat...

For God's sake those nuts demonstrate when a soldier is being repatriated!!! They are a DANGEROUS BUNCH!!! I guess STEVE JOBS funeral is their next venue to express lack of common sense and decency...

hedgie said...

Really dumb Grey's Anatomy......big waste of time! With some really serious story lines needing attention, sure don't know why they throw in all this tripe.

hedgie said...

Shirley, what were they protesting at your church?
Oh, yes, Hoda, that is exactly what/who they are targeting now.

Lolly said...

Do not worry!In this trailer, Jack can boil water for tea and then the trailer is warm. lol Or, we could bake biscuits and it would be terrifically warm. Also, the heater does not turn red. It is a little thing that blows warm air. No problem! Also, nothing will be on while we are asleep. We will be bundled under blankets AND it is just NOT that cold.

Lolly said...

Had a great dinner. Tonight we had our rolled flank steak and a great bottle of wine.

Have been watching a cam at the Balloon Fiesta and they did not have the glow tonight. I feel so sorry for the vendors and folks that expected income from the fiesta.

Talked with Laurel. She had two parent conference with the boys teachers this week. All is fantastic. Feel so good tonight. Jacob has had a rough start in first grade, but the conference went well. She said he is trying so hard and is way above all in his academics. His problem we believe is his size. He is the size of a 4th grader and he is only 7. The teacher also needed to realize that he is just a little boy and an intelligent one at that. He is going to be tested for the excellerated classes. He has had some definite problems and tonight we are feeling fantastic!

Lolly said...

Oh, no! Do not want them to ruin Grey's. I am recording it at home.

I think they have ruined House. It has become to weird!!

Lolly said...

Going to dry my hair....that will warm up the trailer. LOL

stronghunter said...

Lynn,

There were signs about homosexuality, etc. It was aimed at our church and some others nearby in town. I really have no idea why. The Presbyterian Church, Methodist Church, and Episcopal Church are very close together, and the Baptists are just a few blocks away. As far as I know, nothing had happened to cause any protest. I did not go anywhere near them that day.

stronghunter said...

Lolly, I hope everything works out well for Jacob. I expect you have it figured out.

magpie said...

Great report on the boys, Lolly, and I have no doubt you and Jack can keep each other plenty warm and cozy overnight ♥ ♥

Good Evening Eagle Pals..
xoxo

magpie said...

Wonderful, Jo...the Bragg Bunch coming to visit, and great weather predicted for it

Lolly - that IS a shame when vendors and folks set up for a grand money-making and fun time, and it goes belly up with the weather...oh, dear Mother Nature...

magpie said...

Glad things are a'bloomin' Lolly, will look forward to your pictures when you can get them to the blog..but I am patient

magpie said...

Diann!
Bravo! and nice pictures, and like a few others here, I couldn't get my comment to post...

magpie said...

Shirley
think you hit the nail on head about Kay's doctors in absentia....
they would NOT like themselves or their families to endure that kind of....waiting and wondering

magpie said...

NC Suzan...
sorry I think I have missed you, but good to see you ☺
and best wishes on your transplant tour and decision-making...
I think you said Duke? That would be about the best place for many things I would say

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone!

A gracious good evening from snowy, cold Lake Tahoe! We started out today with snow, then snow/rain, then heavy snow with big, fluffy flakes, then just a steady, light snow. Going down to 20 degrees tonight, with a 50% chance of more snow. Tomorrow: Sunny, high of 56, low 26, no chance of rain or snow. YAY! We check out of here tomorrow at 10 am, and go back down into Carson Valley, NV to Andrea D.'s to spend the day with her.

BTW, I checked with the concierge, and the walks here at the Marriott Timber Lodge ARE heated! OOOOoooh--fancy schmancy!

Lori, praying VERY seriously for LeRoy, Andie, and Bobby. Just feel SO sorry for them! Really glad that all 3 are back with you again. Your care is probably the only real stability they have had in their young lives! Did the person who had adopted LeRoy give him back?...You've guessed it--we miss Emma SOOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!!
I don't want to go on any more vacations if she can't go,too!
While shopping today we found a pet store ("Dog.Dog.Cat.") and got a Christmas costume for our girl--she's going to impersonate a Christmas tree! Also got a refrig.
magnet and a doggy Passport.

Lolly, sorry to hear about your blown fuse! Hope you guys stay cozy! Glad you got to at least look at some balloons!

Margy, sorry to hear that the pilot from the small plane crash died. Prayers for his family.

magpie said...

wondering what Lynn had for a sweet pick-me-up after her whirling dervishing in the yard...

magpie said...

Hoda:
That's really inspiring, your participation in the CFUW...
they are blessed to have your input
xo

magpie said...

Hellooo Andrea!
Love your avatar, wow, traveling could be dicey in the morning...
neat, about the Christmas tree costume ☺

magpie said...

Beautiful Wedding Journal, Dana....lovely photographs...wow! What a jump Ed made !
xoxo ♥

couldn't leave this comment on your blog spot though.....guess Google is being fincky for me also

stronghunter said...

Andrea--That's really something. Heated sidewalks. How very nice.

magpie said...

Waiting eagerly to see when Flat Stanley makes it to Loretta's NatureNut's Nook....

anyone "talked" to Megan this week ??

hedgie said...

Lolly, agree about House...he better get back to the hospital fast!

Judie...know you are sawing logs...but in case you read back in the AM: I thought Harry's Law was MUCH better last night!

Lolly, sorry that Jacob is having those difficulties.....I would be very leery about accelerated learning programs, tho'---afraid that could exacerbate the "differences" that are already an issue, if you know what I mean.

magpie said...

Shirley
had a nearly new pair of Tommy Hilfiger Bibs...(which I got from Goodwill)
just a size too snug, and a few inches too long....
hoping some svelte teen got a hold of them from Clothes Closet,
or a striking old lady !!

magpie said...

RED FRIDAY coming up...
that's tomorrow!

hedgie said...

Shirley, glad you stayed away from church during that insanity. Guess they were targeting the churches that allow gay clergy if they were carrying those awful signs.

magpie said...

James was talking about getting another dog tonight...is talking of Border Collies...

or another dog just like Harley....

stronghunter said...

I have no idea what they were targeting, Lynn. They came and they went away.

Hoda said...

MARGY how was your day?

magpie said...

Hoping that Sissy is following doctor's and family's orders !!
We have Eagle Canes, we KNOW how to get to Bluefield...maybe that is her secret ploy - she misses us !!

stronghunter said...

I hope James can get another dog soon, Margy.

Mema Jo said...

I have watched my TV shows and I enjoyed them. Before that we visited over at sons for a while.

Now it is time to close down.......
Another beautiful day tomorrow...
Bragg girls safely made it to town..

Prayers for all
Hugs for all ♥♥♥♥♥♥

hedgie said...

Hi, Margy.....re: vendors losing out also as in cancelled air show!!

magpie said...

Not too bad for a change, Hoda..
pretty steady...
thanks for asking...
every day is different

Ms Bookworm said...

Suzan, will be praying for you to make the right decision (for you!) regarding the transplant. Good to see you here!

Oh, DanaMo! Prayers for Boomerang, for sure! Hope he's better VERY soon! How worrisome! ((HUGS))!!

Judie, hope you get a fabulous night's sleep tonight, and pray that the panthers will declare a truce soon!

Hoda, glad to hear that you slept well last night.

Well, I'm going to call it a night. Prayers have been said for everyone, and for every creature--especially LeRoy, Andie, Bobby, and Boomerang! Making sure the porch light is on, and enabling both security systems. Sleep tight, everyone. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]

Hoda said...

I am confused about refrences to HOUSE and Grey's Anatomy? Are these TV shows? There is a book called Grey's Anatomy...clues please...???

stronghunter said...

Surely hope someone who will enjoy the bibs properly got them, Margy.

magpie said...

Lynne,
I just got buzzed by a Stink Bug..
Bleeeah!

hedgie said...

Margy, PSSSTTTT: a chocolate cupcake with thick buttercream icing and sprinkles!!!! One of my weaknesses from Food Lion!

magpie said...

now a formerly alive Stink Bug.

stronghunter said...

They are TV shows, Hoda. Gray's Anatomy is medical drama. The book is the basis for the name of the show, I am sure.

hedgie said...

Margy, no...Sissy DIDN'T behave! She tried to do some housework...and was not feeling very good from what Shar posted on FB. Sissy is heading for the lake tomorrow for R&R and Shar will go Sat. AM to MAKE her!!

Lolly said...

Margy, Border Collies are soooo smart. I think it wise to get a new dog very soon.

Also...taking lots of pictures but no close ups of the flowers. Sorry! I will try "mo better!"

Present temp...43 and 66 inside the trailer. The plan for in the morning is to turn on the heater, but not the coffee pot. When it has warmed up some, we will turn the heater off and the coffee pot on!

Hoda said...

This is for you MARGY
NASA Satellite Crashes on Car??? What are the ODDS???

magpie said...

thought of that about the Air Show Lynn...

choco treat sounds very yummy

also very concerned with all of you about DanaMo's Boomerang...prayers for immediate relief and resolution


SPLIT is a'coming soon

stronghunter said...

Oh, we had a stinkbug today. Bright green, fluorescent green. Kathryn got a bowl of water and I got a broom. I managed to hit the bowl with the broom and water went everywhere, but I got the bug too. Hunter grabbed it with a paper towel and dispatched it to the toilet. Kathryn mopped up the water.

magpie said...

Not to worry Lolly, just knowing you are seeing them is satisfaction enough ! ♥

hedgie said...

Yes, Hoda, they ARE TV shows!!!! Interesting play on words with the old anatomy book and the TV show--main character is named Grey, and she is a med student/intern/resident!!!
Speaking of which---when Andy started her transcription classes, she needed a Grey's, and I just happened to have two, so I sent her one! We all help out when/how we can!!!

Mema Jo said...

Momma Owl is off the Planter..
