I felt I missed something/ SOMEONE very important when I saw SHARON'S delete...I will just imagine what a wonderful wise and witty statement she would have made and will visit at FB.
I think it wise to recognise the eagle is the symbol...you could have had a rodent with deformed teeth like we do...here comes the BEAVER!!! They do have nice pelts though...LOL
SHARON I will trade you a Beaver symbol for an EAGLE????LOL I have to warn you Beaver Farts, Pardon me, do not smell so good!!! I did smell them when I lived up North and one was trapped in a cage!!! OH MY!!!LOL!!!
News release: Package at Ranson post office contained cookies; 'pop' was from light fixture www.herald-mail.com What was reported to authorities as an explosion that sent white powder into the air at the Ranson Post Office Friday morning turned out to be an electrical problem, Ronald Fletcher, a firefighter with Citizens Fire Co. said Friday. Herald Mail article
Relieved to hear the package was cookies... All are safe...
I am off to yoga and a few errands. The All Candidates forum for the 16th of November is demanding some attention, and I need to go buy 10 squash for the African Dinner on the 13th so off I go to start my day...I have my Poppie on for Remembrance Day,Veterans Day in the US, and I will check in later...My Poppie simply sqays WE REMEMBER.
One of my favorite posessions is a stick that had been gnawed by a BEAVER, that Capt. Gene brought me from hunt camp, one year. I have never seen a live beaver, so I guess that is why the stick is so special to me:)
My granddaughter when in Kindergarten brought into Show & Tell a gnawed stick from a beaver dam (Her dad is an DNR employee) Well, she got up in front of her classmates and boldly said 'Dis is a beaver dick' I would think that the teacher would almost have lost it.
LOL, Jo---thanks! Your post and that article gave me my real laugh for the day!! COOKIES????? And a flourescent fixture----what a HOOT for sure!!!! ROFLMBO!!!!
And Beaver farts brought Shar running!!! TOO funny!!!!
Can't say I've ever had the displeasure.....but now SKUNK on the other hand is truly THE worst----when a dog comes into the house covered and runs all around! One of the very worst experiences of my life.
Didn't get to enjoy the nice dinner I fixed for my hubby last night.
I got a bit of food poisoning and spent the whole night with horrible cramps and diarrhea. Things are still not right, but they have settled down. I am still having cramping whenever I drink or eat anything.......and lots of noises in my tummy.
No Lynn, I picked up a cheeseburger at Burger King yesterday, which obviously wasn't worth it on TWO accounts. I couldn't open my mouth enough to eat it, so I took the top bun off, and then the darn thing must have been the culprit!!
So Dennis is a-ok! He felt so badly for me last night.
PAULA - Dennis is doing really well. He walks every day and putts around here and there while he is supposed to be taking it easy. He is bored, but he is healing.
realy enjoyed the two "Beaver Stick" stories ☺ from Wanda and Jo... used to be one at Swinging Bridge, have not seen that lump of lard for a couple of years though, but he sure skinned some branches and then set them afloat
JIM, and the old song says it doesn't rain in California. Ha !
LYNN, it's a shame Kathie has to go through such turmoil on top of losing John. Makes it all doubly sad. :(
JO, Happy Birthday to your grandson--I love Pizza Hut parties ! Thanks for the Friends of NCTC site. The aerial photo of the whole place is spectarlarly beautiful ! Thanks,too, for the laugh of the day "dis is a beaver dick"---such a sweet and innocent little speech glitch !
LORI, Malcolm's tug arrived today and he was here for it. I said, "this is for you" as I opened it and he stared and waited. WOW ! Did he ever leap on it ! It's all he played with from that moment on. Thank you so much ! Best quality tug I've seen !!!!! You are a doll !♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
WV DNR Calendar arrived today! Gift from a friend: no eagles, but Red-shouldered Hawk, Northern Cardinal, Wood Ducks, Monarch Butterfly, Raccoon, Rainbow Trout, Chickadee, Black Bear! Northern Green Frog, Grouse, Black Crappie, and Skunk! Can hardly wait for 2012!
Linda; sorry about the intestinal mayhem....food poisoning is about as bad an ailment as one can have.... hope it resolves quickly, and glad to hear Dennis is puttering along okay !
Hi ☼HI☼ Kay... Seth and Malcolm time going on, or over ?
Yes! Nice presentation, Shirley! And I love my little plaque from Lynn also, and all the other goodies we have received at the generosity of our Momsters and Dadsters over the years ♥
The "haz-mat exploding white cookie box" event in Ranson, in fact DID turn into a great training exercise, sure hope the REAL THING does not ever occur Bravo to the Responders!
Oh, no, LINDA ! We have to find a way to move that black cloud over you head right on outta the picture ! Feel better soon !
LOLLY, that's another "Good on you" for your fine walking and drinking ! Water, that is ! I took three nice walks with Malcolm today and will return to Leslie and the gang tomorrow.
Had a great day with the boys and now ready for dinner, news, Jeopardy and my political analysis programs on PBS.
Oh, and so very happy whenever I see there was a good visit with Belle and her significant other ! Glad they stayed so long. I think just about all the regulars have seen them at least once since the still cam came back. I know we're all comforted when we see them and to know everything seems to be okay with them !
Thanks to JO for the Friends of NCTC membership link... that pic on the page: that is the same as the postscards I got at the NCTC gift shop... I will join...might have to wait until next payday though... first of month is a tough time for the bank account
Hi dear MARGY ! Yes, the boys have gone home, but tomorrow is Saturday and more time with Seth at least. Sad note, the main sound effects guy on PHC, the one who does the loon so well, had a sudden heart attack and died this week. Part of tomorrow's program will be a tribute to him. Listen in if you can ! That Haz-mat team took lemons and turned them into lemonade with a good robotic training session. Great outcome !
Safe Friday Traveling Wishes..if anyone is going "ooot and Aboot"
Hoda: My Mother was very good at languages. Once, a Catholic priest visited our parish...he spoke Chinese, everyone spoke English, BUT - French was a shared language and my Mother did the gracious translating...
LYNN Interesting that journalism often thrives on misleading headlines. The article you linked us to had a headline that said an untruth. They were NOT stranded on the mountain. I am sure this was the point of your "interesting" comment/link.
Hi, Jim---glad you are getting needed precip! And hi, Margy! Did you hear about the comedy of errors in Ranson??? Didn't hear a peep out of you today! Full crew so you could focus on your other work?
Hi, Everyone, Just dropping in for a quick hello. Kubby is on his way home from work. It is raining here today, so haven't bagged up any leaves--maybe tomorrow.
Got an official letter from the City of Anaheim that the Anaheim Coves (bird sanctuary, nature park and bike path/hiking trail) will have a dedication ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 15th. at 11:30 am! I will certainly try to attend, take pictures, and share. The area is 14 acres, and should be really pretty. School kids will be spreading flower seeds at the event. OK--gotta run. Will BBL, after I've caught up!
Omigosh!!! Emma got her package from Lori in today's mail! She is having SOOO much fun with her new tug! Thank you SO much, Lori!!! Emma says thank you, too--but it sounds more like WOOF!! WOOF!!! :o] Asking God to bless you for your kindness! Kubby's home from work, so gotta go catch up on his day. Will be back, after dinner. Have a great evening!
Laurel just called. Hoda, told her about the compliment you paid her. She says, "why, thank you." She said she had said to Joey, she wished she had Catherine's hair and Joey relied, "What do you mean, you have her hair!"
I agree it is wonderful that we are all sharing in watching the eagles.A sense of wonder when I first realize with the still cam that there is an eagle in the nest!!! I hold my breath while my mind is sending the message through!!! LOL
Thank You for the pictures MARGY.
Part of me was wishing that JUDYE would pipe in with a comment or two. I bet you she would have rememberd to bold her entries... So strange not to read her comments or to find out about her day on here and on FB.
When Jack and I were at the nest last Fall, we went about this time of the evening. We waited and waited and just as we were about to give up in they flew. However, they did not go to the nest. The circled the Royal Palace and then flew off to the woods behind.
Thanks for asking< Magpie...and thanks for the "hug".
Yes, my internal temperature seems to have returned to a more normal level again. I can't imagine what caused the feeling of freezing up I had for a day or two. And I felt very well otherwise..
The day we were all at the nest they weren't in the nest they were in the tree so I kinda figured we weren't missing anything with the cam down because even though they were there we wouldn't have seen them in the tree.
OK, Hedgie, I took a look at the still cam, and I see that it is indeed up again. But why did you let it get so dark back there?? I wanted to see nest in brighter light.
okay Jim...right, no night light to speak of, but we might get some Moonglow here as the Moon Waxes towards full We shoulda hollered the news at your earlier !
I think you are right, DanaMo... up in the branches often most likely...sooooo you made it through the Faith Review this morning ok ??
oh dear Closet Bandit has really been busy, making all my jeans one size smaller, while I was clearly getting one size bigger.... Yikes!!!how did he DO that !!!
DanaMo Can you get your Barely Alive little self in for a nap or even better, bedtime yet ? Thinking of you and your folks and all the family, for the Big Event coming up this week-end... Love and Prayers xoxo ♥
When Jo Returns: 1) Hope it was GREAT Pizza Birthday Celebration for your grandchild 2) I see you have our December E-M album ready to go ☺ 3) Thank you for jogging my memory: TJ it Is, Busy fellow with all the boys in Missouri
In Ancient Ayurvedic medicine, when we are high on acid in the body the temperatures drop and it is advisable to avoid acidy foods, sweets included...go back to a balance of alkaline foods and body will become warmer again.
DANAMO I am glad you survived the Faith test and when you have a chance say more about it.
Although it is early, I am here to turn the night light on for those who will be walking around in the dim light of evening and Andy who will arrive late from the West Coast. So pleased that the eagles are making visits to the nest. All will be well. Restful sleep for all.
From Riley: WOOF WOOF Auntie Lori!!! Thank you sooooo much for my homemade tug toy!! No one has ever loved me in that way....ever!!! Love you, Auntie Lori... WOOF!
I have to wonder, Who did NOT get that box of cookies at the Ranson Post Office today? (ref the Haz-mat incident that turned out not to be haz-mat after all).. Someone's hard work ... guess the intended recipient and the sender would be informed one way or another, sure hope so Maybe all the responders had cookies and milk when everything was all clear
I've returned from the partying... Cake was spice and I ate a piece. You see I am Diabetic too - just came up a little more then 2 years ago - I take metformin medication 2 tabs twice a day. I do need to drink more water as I do watch my diet. As Kay mentioned - you can 'cheat' once in a while
I am watching CSI:NY Remember Ladies that Tom is on at 10 BBL
As we were leaving GG's, we heard emergency vehicles zooming to somewhere and also two helicopters coming and going to City Hospital. Must there have been a bad accident? Know anything, Lynn...Margy?
LYNN, prayers for Carolyn's godson. Hope you know more soon !
SHARON, so they are having a pre-sale for preferred customers, eh ? Lucky you !
LINDA, so nice to know you're feeling better ! A little of that black cloud is clearing away ! Yeah !
DANAMO, your centerpiece is lovely ! Is that one for the main table and how many do you have to make ?
I missed our eagles again ! Drat ! Good reporting, especially when all we have to work with is the still cam. Judging by their behavior and that of the Decorah pair, it isn't unusual for eagles to stick pretty close to home most of the year. Guess they can't take a chance on some other pair trying to take over their nest.
Great Good Evening Everyone! Hooray, our birds visited the nest! I didn't see them, but read all about it! Is the male (what's his name?) losing his Spot? Or maybe we need good sunlight.We'll have to ID him another way--feetsies, color, or something. Sloppiness would be an easy trait for a wannabe adult eagle! LOL
Want to come back and read more. Proud of myself for almost finishing a few chores before getting on 'puter. Gotta wrap a present I made for 2 from Park that just tied the knot. They will both be there tomorrow for the 10K. Don't know if I'll get office duty or get to go toward the action. BBS, I hope~~~ ☺
Wanda...I do not know of any details... Lynn might... I do have some prayers going for those involved... I did hear helicopter, didn't realize it was two...
I hope you DID indeed have some family fun tonight !
Kay glad Malcolm is enjoying those nice tugs Lori made.
Linda sorry about the bad burger. Glad Dennis is taking it easy.
Margy you and James enjoyed I am sure those red wing blackbirds.
DanaMo enjoy the weekend and the celebration. Love the center piece. ♥♥
Jo Happy Birthday to GS.
Hoda your avatar is beautiful. I enjoyed it when I enlarged it. Very nice and heart warming ( :
Andy Anaheim Coves sounds like a nice place. Will wait to see your pictures. Nice the kids will be spreading flower seeds. I see Emma got her tug from Lori's precious hands.
Paula safe travels to Paula's Paradise.
Sure was nice to see our eagles again today. I liked the love he is smitten with her ( : Got to see them off by phone. NEAT!!!
Yes Margy it is nice that from all around the world. We can share with friends. Us all watching the cam and seeing the same thing. Such a joy!!
Prayers for Carolyn's godson being hit again in a game.
Gotta tell you a smelly beaver story. Back in the older days of the Park, our Visitor's Center was a good old red tobacco barn.The loft became an upstairs! That's where we had the original exhibit shop, a Mgr. Office. and Greg K., our illustrious naturalist, had a taxidermy room. A lot of exhibit work was going on for a Park & Planning Anniversary and Greg K. decided to mount a (dead) beaver!Much stronger smell than a f--t. Probably close to musk ox!
Just read back on all of the comments of the day. I'm very saddened to see the nastiness that was thrown around, and the some of the inappropriate comments that were made. Clearly this goes much deeper than the naming of an eagle.
Carolyn called---Troy released from ER: Level 3 concussion (due to loss of consciousness). Pain med for head and neck pain. No contact sports for a week. Okay to allow him to sleep. This is at least his 2nd concussion this fall....argh! Eagles apparently lost their final game.
Linda, so sorry about your poor GI issues! I had a similar thing happen after a Wendy's hamberer and haven't eaten a fast food burger since. Hope you are feeling better.
Think I'll go have some hot chocolate and a shower and get to bed. Very happy to have my Stubby back home!
LYNN, huge sigh of relief for Troy. Would you expect any problems down the road for a kid who had multiple concussions ? Not that 2 is grossly multiple, but I do worry about just how it might affect him.
LYNNE, don't beat yourself up over failing on any given day to take in enough water, get enough exercise or for perhaps getting too many calories. Each new day is a new opportunity to start over, so better luck tomorrow. Okay ?♥♥♥
Loretta----even tho' a loft is "open space"--I can imagine the confinement being enough for that beaver to really permeate the whole building form the top down! URP!!! Reminds me of Carolyn talking about the WEED that the sheriff's dept. was holding as evidence in the building where she and Margy work---how awful it was; I never would have thought about it smelling when it was newly cut!
Nope---I don't know anything about what was going on, Wanda or Margy----haven't really been paying attention to scanner much this evening.
Lynne - Glad you have your stubby back and thanks for your concern. I'm on the mend for the most part!
Hoping you sleep sweetly tonight! ♥
Lynn - Poor Troy!! Too bad they didn't restrict contact sports for a longer period of time.......like until AFTER football season ends! Glad he is able to rest and sleep.

Thanks!
I have told the others.
Have a good day.
Hoda, I would give it a try. I would love to see it as your avatar.
Thanks STEVE for the new thread and Thanks SHIRELY for the call over.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
--William Shakespeare
Let us remember this. Whatever we call our male eagle, he is still a bald eagle, the symbol of our country.
Perhaps "Romeo" or "Montague" would be a good name, but then we already have so many good suggestions.
THANKS SHIRLEY...
I felt I missed something/ SOMEONE very important when I saw SHARON'S delete...I will just imagine what a wonderful wise and witty statement she would have made and will visit at FB.
Going to get on my street clothes and head out.
I think it wise to recognise the eagle is the symbol...you could have had a rodent with deformed teeth like we do...here comes the BEAVER!!! They do have nice pelts though...LOL
Okay Hoda, you have done it now! LOL!
Bluefield High School, home of the Bluefield Beavers!!!!! :-)
SHARON I will trade you a Beaver symbol for an EAGLE????LOL
I have to warn you Beaver Farts, Pardon me, do not smell so good!!! I did smell them when I lived up North and one was trapped in a cage!!! OH MY!!!LOL!!!
When Hoda said Beaver - I knew that was
going to raise the Bluefield congregation up.
Hoda - you know how football is - Bluefield are the BEAVERS
Hoda - everything has to have a defensive device. lol
Thanks Shirley for the call over
Thanks Steve for the TGIF thread!
Have a great weekend - It is gong to get
colder!
roflmbo....Now we know how to get to Sharon! Love it!
I have that plaque...right here by me. It means the world to me. Thank you, Lynn!!
Shirley, I kinda like Romeo. LOL It fits! A teenage lover!☺
Hoda, thank you for the compliment to Laurel. And, her middle name is Catherine!
News release: Package at Ranson post office contained cookies; 'pop' was from light fixture www.herald-mail.com
What was reported to authorities as an explosion that sent white powder into the air at the Ranson Post Office Friday morning turned out to be an electrical problem, Ronald Fletcher, a firefighter with Citizens Fire Co. said Friday.
Herald Mail article
Had to stop to let the doggies out, so took one more look at the blog.
Beaver farts? Haven't smelled one. But that is okay. I know what a basset fart smells like.
I do believe those postal workers were a wee bit touchy.
Well, I have taken several really long trips with the Beaver Band so I definitely know what Beaver farts smell like and basset farts.
I am not getting anything done. Gotta get with it!
Sharon, roflmbo!!
I can just hear Judie's comments when she reads this blog!
Nice, shiny new thread!! Thanks Steve!!! So....how is every little one today?
And about those Beaver farts! They smell like roses!!!
Relieved to hear the package was cookies... All are safe...
I am off to yoga and a few errands. The All Candidates forum for the 16th of November is demanding some attention, and I need to go buy 10 squash for the African Dinner on the 13th so off I go to start my day...I have my Poppie on for Remembrance Day,Veterans Day in the US, and I will check in later...My Poppie simply sqays WE REMEMBER.
This little one still didn't get her
street clothes on.......... Off I go
into the wild blue ..... I mean down the hallway! Love you all ♥
Hoda, that was TMI, LOL
((Hugs))
LOlly, just a slight over reaction...can anyone say PARANOID!
One of my favorite posessions is a stick that had been gnawed by a BEAVER, that Capt. Gene brought me from hunt camp, one year. I have never seen a live beaver, so I guess that is why the stick is so special to me:)
Wow! You just never know what you'll find when you log into this place!
BEAVER FARTS???? ROFLMBO!!!!
I guess I have some catching up to do again!

My granddaughter when in Kindergarten brought into Show & Tell a gnawed stick

it.
LOL, Jo---thanks! Your post and that article gave me my real laugh for the day!! COOKIES????? And a flourescent fixture----what a HOOT for sure!!!! ROFLMBO!!!!
And Beaver farts brought Shar running!!! TOO funny!!!!
Can't say I've ever had the displeasure.....but now SKUNK on the other hand is truly THE worst----when a dog comes into the house covered and runs all around! One of the very worst experiences of my life.
Jo - Thanks for the NCTC Membership Link. I'm now an official member!
Didn't get to enjoy the nice dinner I fixed for my hubby last night.
I got a bit of food poisoning and spent the whole night with horrible cramps and diarrhea. Things are still not right, but they have settled down. I am still having cramping whenever I drink or eat anything.......and lots of noises in my tummy.
Guess it hasn't been my week for feeling good!
Oh, Linda! You are certainly having the woes!!! Straighten up and fly right!! You hear me?!☺
REPORTING IN TO KAY AND LYNNE!!!!
I have finished walking 2 miles and drinking my water. A little behind on the water but catching up!☺
Yes Mam, Miss Lolly!! Plan on it! ♥
This is interesting
Oh, Linda......so sorry. You poor girl. Was it your own cooking??? Is Dennis okay??
Yes, Linda, how is Dennis feeling?
No Lynn, I picked up a cheeseburger at Burger King yesterday, which obviously wasn't worth it on TWO accounts. I couldn't open my mouth enough to eat it, so I took the top bun off, and then the darn thing must have been the culprit!!
So Dennis is a-ok! He felt so badly for me last night.
PAULA - Dennis is doing really well. He walks every day and putts around here and there while he is supposed to be taking it easy. He is bored, but he is healing.
Linda, double woe.......too bad.
Lynn - What an amazing idea and beautiful plaque!! How thoughtful! ♥
Not happy to hear of your problems Linda
Can you get some soup on your stomach
Getting ready to head out to Pizza for gs b-d. I'll check in as soon as I return.

Here is a (( HUG ♥ )) for extra warmth ! xoxo
Megan still has a hummingbird!

She and Lynne are working to ID it, it might NOT be a ruby-throated....
James and I saw a couple of red--winged blackbirds last week, very surprising to us both
realy enjoyed the two "Beaver Stick" stories ☺ from Wanda and Jo...
used to be one at Swinging Bridge, have not seen that lump of lard for a couple of years though, but he sure skinned some branches and then set them afloat

The "haz-mat exploding white cookie box" event in Ranson, in fact DID turn into a great training exercise, sure hope the REAL THING does not ever occur
Bravo to the Responders!

Well, it is almost 5:30. I am 30 minutes late feeding the critters, and I am hearing complaints.
I will return later.

Enjoy your evening, and tomorrow also!
I think it's time for comfortable clothes and something to eat

LINDA so sorry to hear you are with food poisoning.OH NO !!! What else can go wrong????UGH!!!
Jo I hope you have a GREAT time at Pizza Hut for GS Birthday...Happy Birthday.
The snow is further down the mountain than I had thought, leaves are blowing away off the trees.Chilly but makes for good walking.
LYNN Interesting that journalism often thrives on misleading headlines. The article you linked us to had a headline that said an untruth. They were NOT stranded on the mountain. I am sure this was the point of your "interesting" comment/link.
Hi, Jim---glad you are getting needed precip!
And hi, Margy! Did you hear about the comedy of errors in Ranson??? Didn't hear a peep out of you today! Full crew so you could focus on your other work?
MARGY what a terrific story about your MOM...Translating can be challenging and good on her for taking the task on.
Precisely, Hoda! Journalism sensationalizes everything, it seems, nowadays. Makes me ashamed to say that I was a journalist.
Hi, Everyone,
Just dropping in for a quick hello. Kubby is on his way home from work. It is raining here today, so haven't bagged up any leaves--maybe tomorrow.
Got an official letter from the City of Anaheim that the Anaheim Coves (bird sanctuary, nature park and bike path/hiking trail) will have a dedication ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 15th. at 11:30 am!
I will certainly try to attend, take pictures, and share. The area is 14 acres, and should be really pretty. School kids will be spreading flower seeds at the event. OK--gotta run. Will BBL, after I've caught up!
ANDY what a terrific event. I will love to see the pictures.
LOL PAULA...I agree with you!!! TMI it took me a while to figure out what it meant...too much information!!! LOL!!!
Andy....sounds like a wonderful project. Good on Anaheim!!!! Sure hope you can go and share back with us!!!!
evening, all!
Heading to the beach...please check your EM mail
Will check in later!
Have a good safe trip PAULA. Will look forward to your checking in. I got the email. Thanks.
Have been working on recipes today. I am so bad at cutting out recipes from magazines and then lettin them pile up. So, I have bee
Eagle
EAGLE IN NEST!!!!
EAGLE ALERT
eagle!!!!!!!!!
In cup then moved up to noon
Can't tell who it is.......
eagle alert!!!!!!!!!
When she/he turns face toward cam, it is too washed out to make any ID.
LOL right in the middle of my comment...I stopped!
Anyway have been sorting and filing. And, now of course, watching the nest! Same time as last night...glad they have watches!
Omigosh!!!
Emma got her package from Lori in today's mail! She is having SOOO much fun with her new tug! Thank you SO much, Lori!!! Emma says thank you, too--but it sounds more like WOOF!! WOOF!!! :o] Asking God to bless you for your kindness!
Kubby's home from work, so gotta go catch up on his day. Will be back, after dinner. Have a great evening!
I think it is the male eagle.
It is hard to tell but I think it is he who can not be named.
I almost see the spot on his head and the shape of his body...now at one facing the camera
well, we could go by the toes...
bye bye color
Facing two position looking out of the nest.
I am wishing I had a dog so I could get a tug. LOL Lori, you are so sweet to honor all the pups!!
Sure wish the cam was on zoom.
moving back and forth from in to out of nest...is he tracking Miss BELLE
Grooming......
Where oh where is our Belle?
Showing off feetsies.....♫ put your left foot in....♫

Sure wish we had the live cam so we could know what is really going on/1
Poof
GONE
HP attempts??? He ain't too swift about it. And poof both.
THAT now is INvisible Eagles, was a curious view, Lolly!
It kind of looked like hp, but surely not!!!!
isn't it great for many of us so far away from each other geographically are enjoying the very same thing together !
Amen to that, Margy!
do you think Andy disappeared just a few moments too soon to see what we were watching?
So are we seeing them more now because it is close to mating season. It's not mating season yet is it?
Lolly
I am rearranging my closet...ever few hangers full of something I came out to have a peek!
DanaMo
you will get many expert answers on that...
I would just say, getting close, maybe practicing the moves!
I put an AM and a PM pic in the album.
and surely time for them to be fortifying and fixity-upping the Palace
soon I will go back to the closet and try to find some jeans that have not shrunk ☺
Laurel just called. Hoda, told her about the compliment you paid her. She says, "why, thank you." She said she had said to Joey, she wished she had Catherine's hair and Joey relied, "What do you mean, you have her hair!"
but I saw a request from Paula to check our EM mail, so that, first
those eagles might NOT be done for the night either, just wishing it
ttfn xo
I agree it is wonderful that we are all sharing in watching the eagles.A sense of wonder when I first realize with the still cam that there is an eagle in the nest!!! I hold my breath while my mind is sending the message through!!! LOL
Thank You for the pictures MARGY.
Part of me was wishing that JUDYE would pipe in with a comment or two. I bet you she would have rememberd to bold her entries... So strange not to read her comments or to find out about her day on here and on FB.
how nice, Joey notices !! ♥ ☺
Hoda
I have not put my pics in yet, but Hedgie Lynn did, will check to see what she posted then add my few if different
but thanks in advance ☺
I think LAUREL'S JOEY is a keeper...
I am still watching and wishing they would return!
THANK YOU LYNN FOR THE PICTURES...sorry about the mistake.
Me too LOLLY...It is clear at the nest, we could still see them...if they came back that is!
Hoda
I am more than complimented to be confused with our Hedgie ☺
When Jack and I were at the nest last Fall, we went about this time of the evening. We waited and waited and just as we were about to give up in they flew. However, they did not go to the nest. The circled the Royal Palace and then flew off to the woods behind.
Two GREAT and very knowlegeable ladies you two MARGY...Great FRIENDS.
I still suspect that they have been making these appearances all along...we just haven't been witnesses without the cam for so long.
The early winter weather maybe has them fooled into thinking that it IS time for HP!
That must have been AWESOME LOLLY, to see them and then have them do the unexpected...I am glad you two waited.
Awwww....Margy, you are sweet!!!
Good points LYNN, in regards their showing up and then the possible interpretation of their behaviour.
I just wish they would lay eggs later rather than earlier. Why do they lay eggs in snow?????
Thanks for asking< Magpie...and thanks for the "hug".
Yes, my internal temperature seems to have returned to a more normal level again. I can't imagine what caused the feeling of freezing up I had for a day or two. And I felt very well otherwise..
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Okay, Good, Movin' Jim
that's what we like to hear !
You know, our Still Cam is back up, right? Eagles have been there mornings and evenings...
Jim, I sometimes feel that way....but a soak in a hot tub almost always does the trick!!!
ALmost time for Jeopardy. BBIALW.
Lolly
We'll have to ask Nostradamus that question!
three evening pics of mine in the E-M album...and two added from Lynn before that, one this morning, and one this evening
Boring...back to the closet !
ttfn ♥
Hope Wanda and the Gang are having Friday Night Fun tonight !
I sometimes get chilled and nothing warms me up....except for a hot shower.
Off to warm up dinner....leftovers tonight!
The day we were all at the nest they weren't in the nest they were in the tree so I kinda figured we weren't missing anything with the cam down because even though they were there we wouldn't have seen them in the tree.
OK, Hedgie, I took a look at the still cam, and I see that it is indeed up again. But why did you let it get so dark back there?? I wanted to see nest in brighter light.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
okay Jim...right, no night light to speak of, but we might get some Moonglow here as the Moon Waxes towards full
We shoulda hollered the news at your earlier !
I think you are right, DanaMo... up in the branches often most likely...sooooo you made it through the Faith Review this morning ok ??
I'm barely alive...
oh dear
Closet Bandit has really been busy,
making all my jeans one size smaller, while I was clearly getting one size bigger....
Yikes!!!how did he DO that !!!
DanaMo
Can you get your Barely Alive little self in for a nap or even better, bedtime yet ?
Thinking of you and your folks and all the family, for the Big Event coming up this week-end...
Love and Prayers xoxo ♥
Here we go again.....Carolyn's godson got hit again....last game of season. They are all headed for the ER. Sure hope it's not another concussion.
Dern it Lynn!
I saw the "Happy Birthday Troy" sign at Murphy's...last night???
hope he will be OK !
Jim.....it will be dark even earlier after tomorrow night. :(
I hate it!
When Jo Returns:
1) Hope it was GREAT Pizza Birthday Celebration for your grandchild
2) I see you have our December E-M album ready to go ☺
3) Thank you for jogging my memory: TJ it Is, Busy fellow with all the boys in Missouri
LYNN Let us know how Carolyn's Godson fares in ER.
In Ancient Ayurvedic medicine, when we are high on acid in the body the temperatures drop and it is advisable to avoid acidy foods, sweets included...go back to a balance of alkaline foods and body will become warmer again.
DANAMO I am glad you survived the Faith test and when you have a chance say more about it.
Hello everyone.
Although it is early, I am here to turn the night light on for those who will be walking around in the dim light of evening and Andy who will arrive late from the West Coast. So pleased that the eagles are making visits to the nest. All will be well. Restful sleep for all.
Hello and Good Night, Judie
Love to you and all the Household Members xo ♥
She breezes in.....and she breezes out! We miss you, Judie! (((Hugs)))
JUDIE good to see you on here and thank you for the night light.
It is the weekend so I hope also that you will have some more free time...no corrections to bring home I hope.
Good night, Judie.
I received a really nice package with a unique dog pull for Flash today. Thank you, Lori.
Flash has been checking it out.
You must get pictures, Shirley !
Margy, I think Troy did have a birthday this week!
Oh, oh! Now Hoda is dropping acid????!!!!
Hi and bye, Judie! Rest well....and I hope you have a relaxing weekend ahead.
Checking in from Kelsey's sister's house. They are having a yard sale in the morning so I have been shopping. :-)
LOL, Shar----pre-shopping!! Get anything good?? Did you and Andrew hug each other to pieces???!!!
ANDY, I do hope you can go to the Anaheim Coves dedication. I think we'd all like to see anything you can share about it !
so, you are going to buy a yard and take it back to Bluefield?
Have fun!
The weather should be good for what you got goin'
Double E-S ☺
Ditto that Kay! Sounds like a dreamy place to go bird-watching!
From Riley:
WOOF WOOF Auntie Lori!!!
Thank you sooooo much for my homemade tug toy!! No one has ever loved me in that way....ever!!! Love you, Auntie Lori... WOOF!
Best wishes and prayers for Carolyn's godson, Lynn.
I have to wonder,
Who did NOT get that box of cookies at the Ranson Post Office today? (ref the Haz-mat incident that turned out not to be haz-mat after all).. Someone's hard work ...
guess the intended recipient and the sender would be informed one way or another, sure hope so
Maybe all the responders had cookies and milk when everything was all clear
Thanks, everyone.....for your comments and concern. I think I'm on the mend and that poison is out of me!!
It cleaned my clock.....so to speak!
It's a lot of fun hearing about these tug toys!
Yep, now would be a great time to own a dog !
going to work my way to the pillows and a good book here soon
so, early Good Night, Precious Pals...
Prayers for Wellness and Comfort...
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
I've returned from the partying... Cake was spice and I ate a piece. You see I am Diabetic too - just came up a little
more then 2 years ago - I take metformin
medication 2 tabs twice a day. I do need to drink more water as I do watch my diet. As Kay mentioned - you can 'cheat' once in a while
I am watching CSI:NY
Remember Ladies that Tom is on at 10
BBL
As we were leaving GG's, we heard emergency vehicles zooming to somewhere and also two helicopters coming and going to City Hospital. Must there have been a bad accident? Know anything, Lynn...Margy?
LYNN, prayers for Carolyn's godson. Hope you know more soon !
SHARON, so they are having a pre-sale for preferred customers, eh ? Lucky you !
LINDA, so nice to know you're feeling better ! A little of that black cloud is clearing away ! Yeah !
DANAMO, your centerpiece is lovely ! Is that one for the main table and how many do you have to make ?
I missed our eagles again ! Drat ! Good reporting, especially when all we have to work with is the still cam. Judging by their behavior and that of the Decorah pair, it isn't unusual for eagles to stick pretty close to home most of the year. Guess they can't take a chance on some other pair trying to take over their nest.
Happy birthday to Jo's grandson.
Funny Lynn!!! No ACID for this gal...I am sure it is in the structure of what I wrote about Acid/Alkaline post...LOL
Great Good Evening Everyone!
Hooray, our birds visited the nest! I didn't see them, but read all about it! Is the male (what's his name?) losing his Spot? Or maybe we need good sunlight.We'll have to ID him another way--feetsies, color, or something. Sloppiness would be an easy trait for a wannabe adult eagle! LOL
Want to come back and read more. Proud of myself for almost finishing a few chores before getting on 'puter. Gotta wrap a present I made for 2 from Park that just tied the knot. They will both be there tomorrow for the 10K. Don't know if I'll get office duty or get to go toward the action.
BBS, I hope~~~ ☺
Wanda...I do not know of any details...
Lynn might...
I do have some prayers going for those involved...
I did hear helicopter, didn't realize it was two...
I hope you DID indeed have some family fun tonight !
Hi and Bye Loretta, weather should be good Saturday - hope you don't have to work, just enjoy it and have fun.
Okay, G'Night everyone...
most of the lights out here except for the reading lights at bedside
xo ♥ (( Late Night Hugs ♥))
Animal Fun
This will put a smile on your faces !
Kay glad Malcolm is enjoying those
nice tugs Lori made.
Linda sorry about the bad burger.
Glad Dennis is taking it easy.
Margy you and James enjoyed I am
sure those red wing blackbirds.
DanaMo enjoy the weekend and
the celebration. Love the
center piece. ♥♥
Jo Happy Birthday to GS.
Hoda your avatar is beautiful.
I enjoyed it when I enlarged it.
Very nice and heart warming ( :
Andy Anaheim Coves sounds like
a nice place. Will wait to see
your pictures. Nice the kids
will be spreading flower seeds.
I see Emma got her tug from Lori's
precious hands.
Paula safe travels to Paula's
Paradise.
Sure was nice to see our eagles
again today. I liked the love
he is smitten with her ( :
Got to see them off by phone.
NEAT!!!
Yes Margy it is nice that from
all around the world. We can
share with friends. Us all
watching the cam and seeing
the same thing. Such a joy!!
Prayers for Carolyn's godson
being hit again in a game.
THANKS KAY for the link...it was fun to watch...
Kay that was pretty neat thank you ( :
Gotta tell you a smelly beaver story. Back in the older days of the Park, our Visitor's Center was a good old red tobacco barn.The loft became an upstairs! That's where we had the original exhibit shop, a Mgr. Office. and Greg K., our illustrious naturalist, had a taxidermy room. A lot of exhibit work was going on for a Park & Planning Anniversary and Greg K. decided to mount a (dead) beaver!Much stronger smell than a f--t. Probably close to musk ox!
EIKIE POO!!! That would be smelly Loretta!
Good night. Not sure when the fence people are coming. Need to be ready to get up early. See you tomorrow.
Evening all.
Just read back on all of the comments of the day. I'm very saddened to see the nastiness that was thrown around, and the some of the inappropriate comments that were made. Clearly this goes much deeper than the naming of an eagle.
WOW.
Blue Bloods is on!
Carolyn called---Troy released from ER: Level 3 concussion (due to loss of consciousness). Pain med for head and neck pain. No contact sports for a week. Okay to allow him to sleep.
This is at least his 2nd concussion this fall....argh!
Eagles apparently lost their final game.
Linda, so sorry about your poor GI issues! I had a similar thing happen after a Wendy's hamberer and haven't eaten a fast food burger since. Hope you are feeling better.
Think I'll go have some hot chocolate and a shower and get to bed. Very happy to have my Stubby back home!
Good night and prayers for all.
oh, and FAIL on water today....UGH.
LYNN, huge sigh of relief for Troy. Would you expect any problems down the road for a kid who had multiple concussions ? Not that 2 is grossly multiple, but I do worry about just how it might affect him.
LYNNE, don't beat yourself up over failing on any given day to take in enough water, get enough exercise or for perhaps getting too many calories. Each new day is a new opportunity to start over, so better luck tomorrow. Okay ?♥♥♥
Loretta----even tho' a loft is "open space"--I can imagine the confinement being enough for that beaver to really permeate the whole building form the top down! URP!!!
Reminds me of Carolyn talking about the WEED that the sheriff's dept. was holding as evidence in the building where she and Margy work---how awful it was; I never would have thought about it smelling when it was newly cut!
Nope---I don't know anything about what was going on, Wanda or Margy----haven't really been paying attention to scanner much this evening.
SHIRLEY, yippee, it's New Fence Eve at your house ! Won't it be wonderful to see it go up !
LORETTA, PeeeeUuuu ! Nobody likes a stinky beaver !
Glad you enjoyed the video, HODA. I thought the tiger was really cute, made a big cat look like a playful little kitten !
Lynne - Glad you have your stubby back and thanks for your concern. I'm on the mend for the most part!
Hoping you sleep sweetly tonight! ♥
Lynn - Poor Troy!! Too bad they didn't restrict contact sports for a longer period of time.......like until AFTER football season ends! Glad he is able to rest and sleep.
I'm going to close up shop, it's been a long day !
Praying for all in need, for those who are traveling, and in thanks for all the good things we experienced today.
I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ U dear Eagle Buds ! Have a restful night and sweet dreams !
Love you, too, Kay!!
You sound so good and it is so wonderful to have you back and feeling so chipper!!
Restful sleep and Prayers for you!
xoxo ♥
