New thread.
Update: I have a bit more time now so I thought I would fill you in on the cam issues. First off, the power supply issues were cased by a combination of losing our standard power feed and having to rely on the solar panels that have not been charging up the batteries well. With all of the rain and cloudy weather, that was causing continuous problems with the cam feed.
Second, we are in a major finance system transformation at NCTC. This means we have not been able to do procurements for more than six weeks, and will not be able to get rolling again for several more weeks, or longer, if we don't have a permanent funding bill for the year. This is why we could not get up in the tree in August, as we usually have. We now have to plan to go up in the tree in early November, and we are hoping it can be done in the normal way this year without a crane; the tree looks healthier than it did last year. Once we get up the the tree we can work on the sound and clear any suckers that have grown (and blocked the cam). By then we should also have a fully dedicated power source from the barn.
I cannot speak for The Outdoor Channel folks, but I believe their decision to go offline for now was due to the frustrating amount of signal outages. Can't blame them.
The other variable still is whether or not we get a more normal nesting season. Only time will tell that one.
So hang in there. We are thinking about the cam issues, but as I've said many times, the work being done on the cam is beyond the day jobs that our tech folks have to tackle. We're doing the best we can.

My Girls are here and I've been busy
keeping out of their way! lol ♥
Good Morning/Good afternoon all.
I have not read back.
Thanks STEVE for the New Thread and thanks JO for the call over
I slept for 11 hours. I do feel rested!!!Deep and sound sleep.
I will go catch up and BBL.
THANKS STEVE for the update. Much appreciated and we wish you all the BEST
Good afternoon. Back from bowling.
Thanks for the new thread and the update, Steve.
Hello, Jo. Thanks for the call-over.
Thanks, Steve for all of the information
you just gave to us. We will wait patiently for the new season to begin.
Prayers needed!! Sissy is in the ER with stomach pain again.
LYNN on FB Sharon said Sissy has jaw and stomach pain!!! Wish her well Prayes go her way...
Home for lunch THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD Now to go back and read what he wrote on the front page
Good afternoon.
Thank you Steve for the new thread and for the live cam update. We may be disappointed BUT we know you and the others will work very hard to make sure we have a way to watch the Belle and whoever saga unfold this season.
Thank you Jo for the call-over.
I've tried to catch up and will be on my way home in a few. Will make a report this afternoon.
Hoda, so glad you had a good, long night!
Thank you Mema Jo for the call over.
Steve thank you so much for coming on and updating us on the work that needs to be done for the cam. Prayers that you won't need a crane to get up in the tree to fix the sound and the growth blocking the cam. Prayers for the fully dedicated power source from the barn. Prayers for the techies to be able to get this work done. Due to they do have day jobs as you have said. Steve and all others we appreciate this work that you are honoring the eagles with. Thank you ALL. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!
Sun is long gone....sky is dark...of course, it will probably rain when I head out to vote in this stupid boobernatorial race and run some errands. ARGH!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good morning, everyone.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Many thanks to Steve for the excellent update on the power and finance issues this morning.
I think the cold snap predicted for So Cal has come...today: cloudy with a low last night of 62° and a high today of 64°. The lows will be 10-12 degrees lower for at least a week.
We also had some light rain last night, and more will be coming, I think.
C(°ٿ°)D Jim
Rain for you is good, Jim! We've had more than enough here!! Wish we could get it to veer into TX!
Heading out. See y'all later!
Good morning JIM. Stay bundled up...funny to hear cold snap and California in the same sentence!!!
I am off to YOGA and errands.
Rainy here and the yellows and orange colours are noticeable on the trees this morning...ENJOY!!!
popping in from work....
Sorry to hear Sissy is in ER again. I swear, the girl...gonna have to scold her. She KNOWS she has stomach problems but she's always eating the most unhealty for tummy food! Hopefully nothing more serious.....
Maybe the cam will be back up sooner for us! Then we can watch Lib reclaim is palace and his bride!
ooh boy, JudyEs witch and my bat are flying here at work!
Prayers sent up for Bev "Sissy" and for the doctors that are looking at her problem in the ER.
break over.....BBL
Thank you Steve for the update and explanation. It helps to know what's going on and to have something to look forward to in the future.
Home again......no rain fell!
Sissy is scheduled for a CT scan at 7.....the working diagnosis is pancreatitis....:(
Good ol' Buddy is an artist! Check it out!
Painting
Puter gremlins have been at work here. Opened my document file and found that all of my pictures had duplicated themselves into it. ARGH!! Don't know how in the world that could happen!
WOW----fireball and sonic boom of a meteorite was seen/heard in Harpers Ferry today! They don't think it hit the earth----so guess that means it just fell apart in the upper atmosphere??!!!
Back from a good yoga practice...Too wet to run errands so I came back to the flat.
The Prosecutor in the Amanda Knox case says he will appeal!!! The man is bonkers...I hope he loses his appeal for the corruption charges on a previous case...90 dyas before the reason is given by the appeals court for the acquital...There is an extradition treaty between the US and Italy, so it will be dicey as to how she would not have to be flown back to Italy...Foreign Affairs will have to interferre, the Secretary of State, Hilary Rodham Clinton, will have to find a way...I can not see her going back for an appeal process. She says she would like to go back to Italy to visit...
Lynn how close are you to Harper Ferry and did you hear the boom or see the fire ball?
The man is totally insane, Hoda. Somebody in that government better rein him in fast. And Amanda would be foolish to EVER set foot back in Italy! Maybe she should go to a country that doesn't have an interdiction agreement!
Thanks Steve
for the "new thread" (which was several hours ago..)
and the detailed explanation of the cam situation;
Best wishes to you and all the NCTC Staff....
I appreciate all of it
xo
Good Evening Eagle Pals
and Prayers for Sissy....will be watching for updates
Hoda, about 25 miles.....didn't hear anything here. Will ask Christie...but she's at work. They live about 4 miles away from H.F.
Just a quick "Hi" to everyone today. Sad news about the cam, but thanks to Steve for updating us. I wish there was something WE could do.
Tonight is our Bible Study and I am still sitting at my desk working away. I have to shower and be ready in 30 minutes!! Yikes!!
Hope you all have a wonderful evening and I probably won't be back until tomorrow!!
xoxo ♥
Missed you, Linda! Have a good evening and we'll see you tomorrow.
Hey, Margy! No trip to BS today? No school----too bad you weren't off!
Watching the news and reading in the commercials
OK what is WOW ??? I am in the dark!
There must have been real issues with face book yesterday it all started with everyone getting the old look to the news feed back and of course that didn't last long at all and then not just Geula disappeared but 4 others did but they are all back now ODD I say
While I was home for lunch I lost cable, TV and the phone so I called Bright house and told them I noticed my neighbor had BH over and was wondering if that could have interrupted my service and she thought not well while I was waiting for her to come back on the phone it all came back so I guess it did have something to do with it Well just now as I got home the cable man was waiting in my driveway Now wasn't that nice that he waited but he didn't know I was up and running
WANDA what a good menu at the soup kitchen
JUDIE I hope the cats are doing better
WOW on the news 387 people did not show up for juror duty in Tampa and is the judge is PO'd big time that is 40% who were suppose to be there I guess he is going to prosecute these people ordered all of them to come to court on Nov 4 to tell him why they felt it unnecessary to show up or send in the return part of the summon with a excuse I cant wait for that to resolve Back to reading and the news
Good evening - our meal is over and TV news is on. Tonight is 3 hrs worth of TV programs that I enjoy. Looking forward to it.
The sun warmed things up this afternoon but now at dusk the temps are going down.
I'll check back in - keeping prayers going up for Bev's CT results at 7:00
JUDYE, When I say I posted on WOW I am saying I posted on Window on Wildlife Discussion Forum. Very good archive of the Shepherdstown nest and there are other connections/links too.
WINDOW ON WILDLIFE
Here is the link to the page where I found my avatars in case anyone else want to do I tried some don't move If they don't move when you change it then that means they aren't going to work on the blog I figured that out right away there are some cute crow ones but they don't move
Avatars that move the list is on the side under holidays
Can't do much Hallowe'en but I can do some West Virginia Fall Leaves
the avatars are fun, still or animated
Best Wishes for a good evening
Prayers RIGHT NOW for the Bev's CT Scan at 7 pm (( Hugs ♥ Sissy ))
xo ♥
Pretty leaves, Margy.
Prayers for Bev.
LYNN Thanks once again for the LOO&LORI Link They look like they are having a good time Wow what a hard job she has LOL
HODA so glad you got 11 hours of rest your body was probably say YEAH thanks I needed that Huh! and thanks for the WOW link It took me to the past March 23,2011 is the date I see a few peep I recognized will have to figure out how that page works I guess I need to register first will figure it out I guess Odd that it took me to March I sat here and watch the March video of Belle and POJ and the fight I want to put those video on the face book page all the ones that are on you tube Do you think that would be a good idea It would give the story in video for those who don't know Let me know what you think Patriotsgirl is the one who posted them
Well I just found out something when you click on the YouTube video and click as your favorites which I thought that was to watch them but to find out it posted on my face book wall because I guess I am hooked up to YouTube and face book together I just deleted them I want to put on the Shep page
LYNN I would say maybe Jordyn was playing with your computer like she did mine LOL
Changed again
Shirley
How are you folks doing tonight?
We did get a call from Allegany County Maryland near Cumberland asking if we had heard a sonic boom and had any knowledge of a meteor, or meteorite...neat story, will look forward to more news on that one!
I checked ISS Flyover schedule last night, was so excited as it was to start sailing over Wednesday morning, just checked it again, absolutely no flyovers posted now through at least Oct 11, hmmm, very curious !
I saw where Hedgie posted that it might have been near Harpers Ferry....roughly 25 miles from me here
bath time here...
ttfn xoxox ♥
Hope all is well amongst us tonight, as well as can be, that is
Who is in the Miami area they are showing up on the Globe
Well I need to get off this thing and NCIS is getting ready to start and then I need to watch the GW I watched DH last nite Bidding by good byes early again may pop back in later
Tues. evening TV about to begin!
Too bad I can't get money for playing Jeopardy at home---I "done good" tonight!!
We are fine, Margy.
I enjoyed bowling this morning. Still need to do more practice.
Kathryn and I watched Jeopardy this evening.
So far, this is all I've found.....but TV said H.F. and Cumberland.....
According to Allegany County 9-1-1 officials at about 4:30 this morning folks throughout Western Maryland awoke to a sonic boom created by a meteorite that moved through the area. 12 calls were made to Allegany County 9-1-1 beginning at about 4:22 am from Frostburg to Oldtown. Callers reported hearing a loud boom and seeing a blue or green light flashing through the sky. County 9-1-1 officials from around West Virginia claimed they received calls about feeling the sonic boom from Carpendale, Capn Bridge and Wardensville. Early reports are that the meteorite may have allegedly crashed somewhere in Virginia. But Virginia Emergency Management officials say they have had no meteorite reports. NASA officials have been unable to confirm the reports at this point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Eagle Pals ! Just doing my daily check in, per my promise. Very, very tired. Was away from home for three hours today, only for a Cat Scan---why is that so debilitating ? Arrrgggghhh. Of course I have had to drink copious amounts of water so I won't glow in the dark and that fluid keeps me on the move, so to speak. Results won't be in until tomorrow afternoon and with this particular doc I don't expect to hear from him unless there is something needing immediate attention. I'll call his office tomorrow or Thurs. a.m., but that's sometimes an exercise in frustration. Anyhoo, I'm okay, just too tired to read back posts right now---hope to catch up tomorrow.
Did read Steve's message and it helps to be on on what's up !!
Prayers for any and all in need !
♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Hi all! Great report about the sonic boom and meteorite. Cool!
So, here we are in Santa Fe... and it is raining! lol We did go to the plaza, walk around, look in shops, and found a cantina. Had a margarita and watched the last of the TX Rangers game. Jack says "Do you realize we have seen more rain today than we have seen all year?" True..........
Not going to any balloon fiesta tomorrow! Do not know what we are going to do, however, right now I am enjoying a glass of wine and thinking about meatballs for dinner. Do not want to send Jack out in the rain to grill. Too windy to put down the awning.
THANKS TO STEVE....really appreciate his explaining what is going on. So happy our Sycamore tree is looking good!!
LORI............
So jealous of you visit to "Hogwarts Land". lol We are true Harry Potter fans. You had a butter beer? I told Jack I was jealous, he said he wasn't, he was having a mug of Coors. LOL Could not see the video of you and Loo here as our connection is really slow.
Just saw Kay's post.
Love you, Kay! We are loving and wishin and prayin you WELL!!!!☺
Worried about Bev. Any new word on her?
LOLLY so far no word from Sharon about Bev. Did not see anything new on FB either...
Lolly, it is too rainy and windy for the ballons to launch?
Gret meteorite report, Lynn
Thanks...I would soooo love to experience something like that, both to hear it and see that streaking fireball
thanks for checking in Kay...was thinking about that, your daily report...hope test results are stellar!
Sounds like a nice relaxing time for you and Jack, Lolly...too funny, about seeing more rain in a day than in most of the year for you
I'm enjoying a cold mug of cold chocolate milk..not exactly Coors, but....It's Good!
Moon sneaking in and out of the clouds...nice! Looks about half full
Shirley
Bowling, I am happy for you!
I think it is a lot of fun...
and I like the sounds of it all from the lanes too...
Thinking about Judie and Darth...and the Bombays...
hope all is okay...
I think I can understand if it's easier not to talk about it...
(( Hugs Judie and Darth ♥ ))
JUDYE in regards the Window on Wildlife link I sent you...I sent you the link I use, and I set it on March as it was easieer for me to track. If you click on HOME you will get the front page. Scroll down to NCTC EAGLE CAM and you can start from the very beginning.
WINDOW ON WILD LIFE HOME PAGE
evening all!
So cool about the meteorite! Wonder if my MIL heard or saw anything....she works in Oakland, I think on Tuesdays.
I'm having a glass of chocolate milk right now too Margy!
I must confess...I have been on a better eating kick for the past just about 12 days. And I am happy to report I am now a whole SEVEN pounds lighter!
Evening, all!
Decorah Eaglet Update
Cool, they have a link to the Decorah Eaglet tracking website...
Way to go, Lynne! Keep it up!
Gee, Lynne, 7# in a week---that's great!!! ZHmmmmm....I think choco milk won't help!! I ALMOST bought a bottle today, but decided to refrain! It doesn't go with apple dumplings!!
Yea, Kay!!! Glad you "reported!" Hope you get an excellent report.
Margy, I would LOVE to see that fireball, too! Lynne, please do ask your MIL if she saw/heard anything!!
Concerned that there has been no word on Sissy. Sure hope they can figure out why this has happened. Not to be taken lightly, that's for sure.
We'll be calling her tomorrow evening Lynn....I'll find out!
I have choc milk a couple of times a week! And I lost the 7 pounds anyway, but it's been 12 days....still, that's pretty good! DOn't expect to loose quite that much every 12 days, but 10 a month is my target!
Bear Report
The hunt ends on the 16th....9 days to go if they don't allow Sundays....so far, all collared bears are safe as far as they know.
Lolly, glad you are experiencing rain, even if it's not where you want it!
Bravo! Clap Clap Clap, Lynne !
I had choco syrup added it to plain old white milk !
OK Lolly, the rain you are having is just a sad irony... but glad you are having fun anyway!
that's what we do Margy...Hershey's! Steve is a bit heavy handed with the chocolate! So I limit it to 2 or 3 times a week, and I have a small glass instead of a big one now.
Still have hummers here! Two this morning, two this evening....of course, not sure if it's the same 2 each time, but one is still defending the feeder!
Thanks PAULA for the info on the Decorah Eaglet...its wonderful that they could track her and that she has covered a distance...
YEAY LYNNE 2 7 pounds CONGRATULATIONS well done you...
Meteorite news IS exciting...
Gloria had this on FB and I liked it so much that I shared and now bring it to the blog Cat and unusual new friends!!!
Good Evening Eaglebuds!
Good to hear the new cam news from Steve!
Our cam at Park is still on, but not online. Some lovely views of River this AM. Altho they're a little blurry, took pics of the screen! Will put on in a couple minutes.
After lunch was outside speaking with archeologist & our heat/AC man, when out of the corner of my eye saw a black and white bird flying upriver. Wondered if it was some kind of gull.It turned and sun hit white head and tail!!!!An EAGLE!!!!
Good evening everyone. I am home but Sissy and Tom are still at the hospital. Her lipase was elevated so they did a CT scan to check for pancreatitis. The CT scan was normal. They are now calling in the surgeon to see if possibly it could be early pancreatitis or if the surgery she had before, the Nissen fundoplication, may have been wrapped too tight. Waiting to hear from them now because if they don't admit her or send her home, I have to go back with her so Tom can come home and rest before work tomorrow.
Just as I was posting that, Tom called. I guess he is coming home and I am going back. Will let you know when I know. Love you all!
Love you too Shar, hugs for Sissy and Tom! Thanks for updating us!
Thanks for the update, Sharon. Glad Sissy has company. I guess that was from the last surgery ?? Lynn??
Just got off the phone with Sis. They are admitting her and doing an EGD in the morning. That means I am going to bed now!
Thank you Sharon....
Good Night Prayers for All of You...
and hope that things go well in the morning
((Hugs ♥))
God Bless the Doctors and all the Health Care Team too...they have a precious patient tonight ♥
going to bed, after I fold a load from the dryer. Good night, and prayers for all!
I put off my drying and folding to the morning, Lynne...
to borrow a phrase from a Favorite but Hospitalized Momster:
I'm slam wore out...
Prayers for Wellness...and Peace
Good Night, Precious Pals
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Just read about Sissy in the hospital. Gosh, those folks don't need any more mystery diseases!I'm so sorry this has happened. Prayers for whole family.
I'm hoping to get some pictures on here---forgot I have to go thru Google Chrome---booo.The best are yet to come---might be in AM if I can stay awake!! ☺
Shar, thanks for updating on Sissy's situation. Sure hope the EGD takes care of the problem. If the fundiplication is causing the problem, I think it probably should help a lot---but may need repeating occasionally. :(
(((HUGS))) to Sissy and to her little sister!!!
Loretta, hope your eaglesighting was one from your nest and not an interloper! Cool that you saw one!
Good night to the early bird sleepy heads. Sweet sleep.;
JO ELLEN-----are the g'grands in H'ville still seeing their eagle??
I am going to be an early bird tonight, too! Have a hair apptmt. at 10:30----ugh! ONLY thing she had opened for quite some time---and had to wait almost two weeks to get it!
Prayers for many and all. "See" y'all tomorrow!
About 50 comments ago I left to watch
3 really great TV shows. I need to read backwards.....
Loretta - great that you saw aqn eagle -- The Hedgesville kids said the eagle left their tree but had stayed there for at least 2 days. Maybe the eagle will return.
Tomblin wins W.Va. governor's race
Democrat Earl Ray Tomblin has won a special election for governor in West Virginia, overcoming Republican attempts to tie him to President Obama and the health care plan.
Tomorrow afternoon is my CT of the lungs
Pray me well, my friends.
Bev I hope you have a restful night's sleep without pain........ ((hugs))
RAYERS Go UP for HEALTH and WELLNESS with the Cat Scan tomorrow JO. I will light you a candle wishing you the BEST.
PRAYERS JO
Prayers for you Mema Jo. I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Rest well, Bev.
I am handicapped by a large cat reclining on the arm of my chair from which I operate my mouse.
He is not interested in moving.
I have given him some pats and will head upstairs.
Hi all! Rain has slowed but still hear sprinkles on the roof. We have had a fun evening just the two of us giving each other a hard time.
Paula, to answer your question...the balloons do not go up in rain or wind. We plan to go to Taos tomorrow. We will see what the weather is like for Thurs or Fri. Special shapes go up both mornings and there is a "glow" both evenings. That is when the balloons are tethered to the ground, but they fire up and glow in the dark. Fun!
Would like to see some of the competition as well, but will just have to wait and see.
I am now 2 hours behind you. About to shower and go to bed, though it is only 10:30 here.
Very concerned about Bev. God bless and be with her.
Night all! Sweet dreams!
Whoops! Meant it is only 9:30 here, but still ready for bed!
Thank you Hoda and Shirley!
Like your photo on FB Lolly - Have a
restful night - Hope the rain stops and the balloons go up up up and away!
Good night everyone
Prayers for all our needs
Hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I'm about to turn in, also. Need to rise a little early for GG's treatment on her back, in the morning.
Loved Taos, Lolly. Bought my beloved Indian Story Teller there. Also saw my first and only Road Runner near there. What a treat that was!
Soup Kitchen was a goody tonight. 46 guests and we did have enough Stuffed Peppers for everyone, even a few SECONDS! I opened up 6 large cans of Beef Stew and offered that, instead of peppers to the children, and all of them chose the Stew:)
It's so distressing to hear about Sissy...I'm praying that nothing serious is found and perhaps a more bland diet will suit her innards, for now!
Praying really hard for you, Jo, to have a thumbs up report after your scan♥♥
Lynn, I take it that Liesl is A-OK now? Hope that is the case.
Margy, how did James take the news of Harley's passing. If you told us, I missed it. Hugs to him from The Capt. and First Mate (((♥)))
Off to bed as soon as I see what the WRIGHT SISTERS have been up to, toda:)
NITE TO ALL
LOVE AND PRAYER TO EACH OF YOU♥
MORNING TO ALL OF YOU EARLY BIRDS♥
Is "toda" me Wanda? Who are the Wright Sisters? I am not sure what to say...I am hoping to stay up till 10:00 PM my time and I hope to get a good night's sleep?
Toda could be today...hmmm I do not know anything...I'll google Wright Sisters...hmmm
LOL, Hoda...The Wright Sisters are my two wonderful daughters. I check them out every night just before I go to bed to see what they have been up to. Facebook is a wonderful way to keep track of my family. All my grandchildren (3) are on there too:)
The toda word was meant to be TODAY:)
Nite, sleep well, Hoda♥
Goodnight, Sweet Dreams and God Bless...
For the early morning group I wish you all a GREAT start of your day and hope to join you in a day that brings us all laughter and joy.
I am laughing too WANDA. Thanks...
Hi, Gang,
Sorry to be getting here so late!
Have missed quite a few of you. We took off on an adventure this morning, fairly early. We drove all the way around Lake Tahoe! Golly, at times the road was pretty narrow, just 1 lane each way, and VERY winding! No guard rails, either! Actually kind of scary, since the posted speed limit was 55 mph! We just went slower, and kept pulling over at every opportunity so people could pass us.
Have read back some on the blog, and see that Sissy is back in the hospital! Prayers for her, for Sharon, and for Tom and the whole family! Prayers for the EGD tomorrow.
Prayers for you, too, Jo! Will certainly be praying for your CT scan.
Prayers continue for Judie & Darth, and the two Bombays. Hope things improve rapidly!
Good to hear from Lolly & Jack! Nice that you are getting rain, even if you had to go on the road to find it!
Steve, thank you for the new thread, and the much appreciated detailed info about the live cam!
We surely do appreciate all that you and the other NCTC folks do to keep the cam running as much as possible! Many thanks!
We did stop at the Sunnyside Restaurant and Lodge, as planned, but the restaurant was closed for lunch. They didn't open for dinner until 4 pm, and we did NOT want to have to drive back to the timeshare in the dark, or in the rain! TOOOO scary! Got some pictures, but now can't find my USB cord to the camera. Might have to wait till we are back home to show you all any pictures! My avatar is a pic I took on our last trip. We went by this same place again today, though. We went to the Blue Water Bistro in South Lake Tahoe for dinner. YUM!!! Nice atmosphere, right on the lake with a spectacular view, and excellent gourmet food! By then it was about to rain, and the lake looked rather cold, choppy, and ominous. As we were eating, 4 skeins of Canada Geese came swooping in, and landed on the lake, close to the shore. Beautiful! (But unfortunately, too dark by then to get pictures!) The low clouds were beginning to move in quickly over the water, and the wind was getting stronger (about 30 mph), so I bet those geese planned on spending the night. By the time we left the restaurant, it was raining, blowing hard, down to about 40 degrees, and miserable out!
It was so nice to come back to the timeshare and get comfy in our cozy jammies and lounge around! I have some leftovers of my fish & chips for tomorrow, too.
Gosh, just checked the weather report again for here, and there is not only a severe storm warning, but they are predicting 1 to 3 inches of snow! (No significant snow accumulations, though--thank GOD!) Predicting a high tomorrow of 42, and a low of 30. Good thing I packed my long johns!
They predict more rain and another inch of snow tomorrow night. Hope there are some good movies available! We don't really want to go sightseeing in that kind of weather.
Well, Kubby is already watching TV through closed eyelids, so I guess I'll quit before I do a face plant!
Prayers have been said for everyone, and for all creatures. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Sleep snug as a bug in a rug, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]
P.S.--the bug in a rug I mentioned is NOT a stink bug OR a bedbug! Eeeew! G'night, all!
Good morning! Anyone here?
Hello DANAMO! How's your morning going? To the dogs? LOL Kidding.
Extra scratches for the 3 flying labs this morning!
Good morning Lori. Still in Orlando?
No, I'm home again...actually at work now. Long day yesterday.
How are the kindergarteners?
They keep me laughing on a daily basis! They are also frustrating. It's so hard to start a new year. It takes all year to get them where I want them to be, then I have to start over. That's the thing with kindergarten, they come in knowing very little, having little to no structure. It's like starting with a new born. Kindergarten is really their first introduction to "real" school. Preschool is play, these days kindergarten is real work. The new first grade they say. Thank God for all the hugs...that's what gets me through the day :)
I've heard that kindergarten is a lot of real school work for kids now...when did that start?
Good Morning ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ Eagle Pals, I'm rocking with Lori and Loo and WASH-FM
wow the home page changed appearances...
that gives it away that I have NOT brought it up lately...whoopps

Welcome Back Lori
Good Morning DanaMo
Good Wednesday Morning MARGY!!!
How are you? You must be groovin' to the BeeGees!
That's a great post about your Kindergarteners, DanaMo ♥
Bless You for what you do !!!
that's some post from Andrea about a narrow winding road with a speed limit of 55 - - I couldn't do that!
sure sounds like she and Kubby are having a great time on their vacation ☺
Prayers for Sissy....
and for Jo's CT lung scan later today...
and for all with aches and pains and owies...
yesindeedy, Lori

Good to hear your voice and know you are a lot closer geographically to us now ☺
Great weather forecast, Lori...
sounds like good weather for Pumpking Patch things...if Megan is doing that hereabouts...
Miss You Megan ! ☺
time for me to get ready for work...
:(
I want to play hooky!
Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone...

G☼☼D M☼RNING EAGLE BUDS
Great WEATHER coming up!
SUNSHINE EXPECTED through TUESDAY AT THE NEST TODAY through the WEEKEND and into next week!!!
YeeeeeHA!
GOOD MORNING...
MARGY, wanted you to know that every one of the books and article of clothing that you donated is GONE! You did a terrific job of sizing everything and folding so neatly...our guests are going to be spoiled and think that ALL CLOTHING should be done up as nicely as yours:) I try to hang clothing by size, but don't always have time. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
All of DANA'S donated items are gone, also, as are the items of our anonymous donor of a large quantity of toiletries.
Our guests have started coming in a half hour early so that they can dig into the new donations, but in the process, they get in the way of our preparations. So, we had to put up signs telling everyone that they wouldn't be admitted to the dining room or Closet until 4 o'clock.
Hello JudyE! Beautiful weather you had there in Florida this week! Loved it.
Good Morning WANDA! Glad you had such a great night at the soup kitchen. What blessed people to have you and Capt/Father Gene in their lives!
KAY so glad you checked in and I'm sure it will take time to get back 100% We are always thinking of you
Hoping today brings good news on SISSY
JO good luck and praying your scan goes well
LOLLY sounds like you are having a good time in spite of the weather
WANDA great news about the soup kitchen and having enough for seconds
LORETTA saw a eagle tooo coool

DANAMO It must me so rewarding knowing you are shaping little lives Love you for it♥
LORI welcome home
There's that handsome Count Dracula an Midnight the cat:)
Speaking of the cat, we think the black, stray cat, who lives in our woods is going to have kittens again. We're going to have to figure out someway to catch Mama and give her away or spay her. She is feral and that is a difficult situation:(
I joined the WOW last nite and just got the email they approved me Wow I wonder how do they check on you what do they check Just curious
Judie, how are the kittens doing?
JUDIE hoping the two new addition will get use to you haven't heard from you since yesterday noonish
I need to pick up Norton at work Just was told again I have 11 days left I wish it would remember that I buy the disc at work instead of through the puter Just have to remember to get it before I go on vaca
LORI I sort of had some weird thoughts about the vicious cats all kind of thing can run across one minds I love horror flicks and books and my imagination is running wild thinking what the cats could do in the fiction world LOL
Good morning my eagle peeps.
Judy, was did you put in your coffee this morning? lol!
Hey we almost have the early morning crew here at the SSCC HEY TBIRD
Do you all want to laugh Well aver a month ago I put in for MON off next week because I need to get my truck looked over 100% before I go on vacation Sort of a check up for travel like I do whenever I travel Well I noticed last week that my boss who is on overnites did not review it or approve it so I went to Amed and showed him the date that it was put in over a month ago and told him I had appt to look under the hood and he got so frustrated thinking it was a dr appt and said Oh JUDY we don't need to know why you want to go to the dr and it was approved Ok now I told them it was under the hood appt meaning truck appt and they took it wrong But it got approved and he changed it in the system so I only will work 4 days next week

Vroom, vroom.
Hey there THELMA LOU and BUDDY TOO!
Good morning!
Mama Owl lets you see the wee ones!
Good morning -- better morning that is.
Wanda, so glad the soup kitchen was, as usual, a great success. Oh, no thank you, two panthers are enough. Hope you can find a place for the black kitty.
Wanda, wishing GG an easy time today and quick, quick pain relief. Please give her a hug.
Quickly saw Sissy is back in the hospital. Hope she's okay. Maybe an update I missed. Prayers.
Kay, hope you are more rested and the CT results will be happy ones.
Hoda, I see my request for the sandperson to visit was honored. Glad you got some rest.
I know I've missed a lot and apologize for overlooking anyone. Now the update.
Was truly exhausted yesterday and after a nap then dinner, I just went to bed.
The night was relatively quiet. I wake when I hear them moving around or jumping on the bed. Hissy fits occur when they meet. I believe it is the smaller Naomi that is the instigator. Both have eaten some but very little. Both litter boxes have been used but, nothing in nothing out. As I type this, Stella is lounging on the desk in front of me and Naomi is slinking around my feet. Interesting that both are becoming very affectionate but are quick to bite if they've had enough petting. I now believe the real reason for wanting to give them up is that they do not get along. Maybe they never will but I hope we can improve their level of tolerance. Of course, we need to adjust as well. Not easy having to panthers around and the need for increased energy requirements.
Taking some time off. Going to get my "do" did then have an exam to try to finish before tomorrow.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day.
Hoping that your day with the panthers is a good one, Judie.
Hoping that Sissy's procedure is over---it was scheduled for 8....she did not have a comfortable night fromwhat she posted on FB. :(
Jo, hope your CT goes well! I have mine coming up soon....if the gal at the drs. office gets off her butt and gets it scheduled! Always a bit of scanxiety involved.
Good morning all. Just spoke with Sissy. They have not taken her yet for the EGD. Tom is there with her. She is hurting pretty bad. The pain is like a squeezing pain around the top of her stomach. Not sure about the jaw pain today. Her pain meds last about an hour and they have it scheduled for every 6 hours.
Andy, sorry your vacay weather isn't better, but sounds like a nice, cozy place to hunker down in! Enjoy....even tho' I know you miss Emma!
Judie, sounds like things are settling down....figured they would! If Stella is laying on the desk, I would say SOME calmness reigns!! Adjustment period for you all.....the two of them will soon figure out how to avoid/elude each other and choose their particular hiding places....it just takes time. Just don't want YOU being attacked!!
Lori, glad you are home---whirlwind trip, huh??!!! Enjoyed your videos!
Wanda, hope GG's microwave treatment goes well!!
DanaMo---time spent with your wee ones lays the foundation for their educational future, and you can be so proud of that!!!
Someone asked about Liesl. She is FINE!!! BUT a bit more demanding that she was. "She wants what she wants when she wants it!" DIVA!!
We have one more day on antibiotic. And tonight is GRADUATION!!! Not sure how well she will do, because she has not been very good at her lessons since she was sick. :(
Still no update from Sissy or Sharon...
Almost time for me to head out for the new "do." Will catch you all after lunch.
JudyE, glad you got the day off for your truck check-up Monday!
Good Morning - I am awaiting the
Basement Brigade's arrival. The girls
have made great strides in our basement cleaning - the trash collector is going to be surprised!
Anxious for a report from Lynn on her new do - BUT also waiting for a picture of the Costume Lady's golden locks!
Judie sounds like your 2 new felines are progressing - soon they will Rule the Roost!
I'll be in & out today
BBILW
They still haven't taken her for the EGD!
Sharon - this is frustrating to say the least for us and I can't imagine how it is for you all there at the hospital.
Prayers and thoughts coming at you all!
♥ ((hugs)) ♥
Good Morning DanaMo, Lori, Margy, Wanda, JudyE, Thelma, Shirley, Judie, Sharon and Lurkers.
Prayers being said for Bev, Tom, Sharon and family. I know they all must be worried. Praying the doctors fine the problem and Bev is HOME SOON!!
Margy I bet you would have loved to have seen that sonic boom. Plus the colors crossing the sky.
Kay was the Cat Scan for the
illness you've had? Just the
stess would make you tired.
