1 – 200 of 295 Newer› Newest»THANKS STEVE FOR THE NEW THREAD. MUCH APPRECIATED. HAVE YOU SEEN THE EAGLES ON THE STILL CAM?
Wahoo ! Thank you STEVE and thank you, HODA !
HODA, the pictures I'm referring to are on DANA's profile/blog. I'm not a FBer and do so appreciate it when the gals post photos here !
KAY thanks. The picture I spoke of was my promise to try to take a picture of the eagles visit.SHIRLEY taught me how to do it and I totally forgot!!! UGH...I find too much going on and I get so excited when I see them I focus on them and forget the rest. It is almost that I forget to type even!!!LOL
Hi, Kay and Hoda and Wanda! Glad you joined me and DanaMo.
Wanda, love the ultrasound!!! Did you say that the baby will be named Neveah???
Kay, glad you and Seth enjoyed your weekend. I've never had to sit at the "bar" at Bob Evans, but have at Waffle House!
Sure glad we have a new thread. The old one was getting a bit burdensome!
OH KAY I get it. You were refering to my request to Friend DANMO on FB. I visit her blog here too.THANKS
Thank you, Steve for the new thread. Very much appreciated.
Hello HODA and KAY!
I missed the visit but got to read the fine reporting by Lynn & Hoda.
Glad you had a great time with Seth, Kay...and the bonus time outdoors. ♥
My steak was sure good, even if a bit earlier than usual. Had a baked potato and sliced tomato with it.
WANDA I LOVE THE ULTRA SOUND PICTURE. WHAT A MIRACLE it all is...THANKS
Hi, Lori! What did you do fun today?
Oh LYNN, nothing fun. I've been clearing out my Christmas room. I still have to organize all my ribbon, but I'm thrilled with how it's going! Sorry about the Redskins, but at least it wasn't the total blowout I was expecting!
Lynn, I laughed when you said leaves weren't up to your knees, yet! Everyday I consider mowing/mulching leaves and think I'll get more if I wait until tomorrow. I'm determined to make these leaves doable!
LYNN, your dinner sounds good. I had the 55+ chicken fried steak, smashed taters, steamed broccoli meal at BE, so will just have tomato soup tonight. Hadn't had chicken fried steak for about 5 years and now that I've had that craving fixed I won't for another 5. Their 55+ meals are just as large as regular except that you don't get a salad. Too much food and I wasn't a clean plate girl !
LORI, do you have a McMansion ? What a luxury to have a Christmas Room ! I have a Christmas box !☺
Good moon light at the nest tonight.
PRAYERS for LYNN, towards the end of the day I find myself thinking of you and the coming week and your trip for the consultation with the doctor and then the time setting for the surgery. I think of you and wish you GOD'S LOVE GUIDANCE AND GRACE. HAPPY HEALING THOUGHTS COME YOUR WAY LYNN.
Does anyone know what they cross a potato with tomake a blue potato? I bought blue potatos from the organic health food store today...I had never seen such a thing before...
I have not seen a post from PAULA saying she is starting on her trip back...I wish you a safe journey PAULA and NICK...Check in when you get in...
Blue Potatoes
Check this out, HODA.
Reposting on new thread:
LOCALS: Can you help????? A Hampshire Co. Animal Control Officer just lost her house and 3 dogs and all her belongings to a house fire. She needs clothes, shoes, linens, toiletries, etc. Debbie wears med-large tops and large (size 16) pants, size 7 1/2 shoe; her grandson is age 5 but tall and wears a size 5 and child's 13 shoe. They also need food supplies, they have a double bed where they are and a queen size blow up bed.. so linens and blankets for them. Please do NOT send money.
Contact Libby @ rescuethemutt@gmail.com if you can donate. She will get donated items to Debbie.
Liesl is wanting some lap time. BBIALW.
LYNN, hope the locals come through with everything the Animal Control Officer needs. Wonder why no money ?
THANKS KAY very informative on the blue potato link. They taste good. They are a bag of different sizes andd shapes. Come to think of it the health food store does not sell genetically altered produce...these however are BC grown...I will phone them...
Hi,
Just found out that Rus was in Columbus this weekend. Knew that he was going to a wedding in Ohio, but did not realize it was in Columbus. he drove out and took picture of the house we lived in when we were residents of the New Albany area. Lots of changes since we lived there.
Will came over and mowed the grass this afternoon. He had to retrieve the mower from behind all of the stuff Tom put in the garage.
He brought along West, the Jack Russell. I'm sure West got plenty of doggy exercise.
Kathryn and I had to leave to attend a party, so it was Will and the dogs for most of the afternoon.
Hello Hoda and Shirley!
Kay, LOL on the McMansion! My house is small. Christmas room is in the basement - the former owner's office. It's only maybe 8' x 10', so you can see the importance of keeping the clutter out!
Interesting article about blue potatoes. I ate some blue chips at the party this afternoon.
But they were corn chips, when I think about it.
Hi, Lori!!
I love blue corn chips SHIRLEY. I do not buy them often but love to eat them with hummus.
Hi all! Glad you saw a visit to the nest this evening. The time change made me miss it. I was at the grosssssery store.
I have a good news report, an answer to prayer. The baby that I have asked prayers for..the granddaughter of a good friend that is having seizures. Well, God works in mysterious ways. Turns out the neighbor of theirs works at the hospital where the specialist doctor is located and knows him. (They could not get in to see him until Feb) Well,Thursday they got a phone call from the neighbor saying "Can you get here by 2:30?" Tina, mom, said yes! Called Ky at work and they said "Go!" They got the baby there. The doctor is pleased with the med she is on for the seizures. When she has them again they will do more testing. They like the doctor and all is going well.
SHIRLEY, don't know if the wedding was inside or out, but Rus was sure lucky we're having such good weather ! Doggone it, if we'd only known you could have hitched a ride for a stay with me !
LOLLY, that is such wonderful news regarding the baby with seizures ! Thanks for letting us know !
GREAT NEWS LOLLY!!!
Hmmm, blue corn chips are really good with any mexican food, for nachos or just with salsa for a snack ! Years ago when my son was teaching at Texas A&M he sent me a College Station newspaper article. A group of senior citizens had returned from a trip to NM and wanted to file a lawsuit against an Albuquerque Mexican eatery. Seems they'd been served "strange blue chips and funny looking black beans"---several of them had some indigestion and figured it was due to that "spoiled" food ! That's a suit that went no where !!! ☺
LOLLY, awesome news about the baby. You just never know... AMAZING!
Encouraging News, Lolly...
hope all continues to go well
xo ♥
Thanks for the New Thread Steve....
e've been a'chatterin' a LOT since Friday
☺
Wonderful news about Ky, Lolly! Yes, the Lord works in mysterious ways!!
A former nurse colleague was just telling me this past week that she was having an issue, and the PA specialists couldn't see her until Feb. Her sister works in a clerical position in a Cincinnati hospital with a specialist in the field....and she got her in with him within days!
I love blue chips---potato, corn and tortilla!! And some of the tortilla's have sesame seeds in them---delicious!
What a scandal at Penn State (where that same nurse colleague used to teach!!). WOW-----keeps sounding worse as the day goes on. Surely hoping it doesn't bite Joe Paterno in the arse.
Shirley, great that Will did your yardwork for you! And what a cinky-dink that Rus was in Columbus! What did Will think of the fence???
Lori, I try to stay on top of the leaves because I hate them getting crushed into the gravel driveway. I did notice today that the redbud completed dumping it's load today---and they're still green leaves!
Aaaaah, Lori, you have TWO more days of glorious freedom !
Kay
I was able to catch snippets of Prairie Home Companion this afternoon....liked what I heard !
Mountain Stage after that, on our WV NPR station, was also awesome !
Kathy Mattea and other fine performers ♪ ♫
have to catch up from prior thread
bbialw
Anyone interesting in trying to see a moon or two at Jupiter, look to the lower left around its 8 o'clock spot, hope your hands are steady.
Jupiter is down and to the LEFT of the Moon, the brighest object you can see !
and I THINK and HOPE I saw Venus on the Western Horizon after Sunset...the Planet of L♥ve you know. It's already out of sight now
Kay, I don't know why no money wanted......strange, huh???
Margy, you do know that Kathy Mattea is a native WV'ian, right?
Sure do, Lynn
Cross Lanes, not far from Charleston
Wanda
Not disturbed at all about the pic of the baby, so exciting !
this IS grateful avatar month, always welcome new life ♥
Wanda, LOVE your avatar! What is it, boy or girl?
Time to go prepare some dinner. Not inspired. lol
DanaMo
I don't know if you are coming bck tonight or not:
Wonderful pictures !!! Thank You! ....looks like your boys and maybe Annemarie were part of the ceremony? I am so interested to know, and also what the text of your Toast was...looks like your Father is reaching into his pocket for some speech notes? Maybe?
DanaWV
hope your Mother is doing better, saw where you said earlier she was not well today
So sorry to hear of the Animal Control Officer's house fire in Hampshire County and loss of everything...including the three dogs, so sad.
I think Will liked the fence, but it will require more use of the Weed-
Whacker. However, he can let West get all kinds of exercise. West actually belongs to his roommate, but Will seems to be very attached to the little dog.
Wow! I just returned and a new thread is like a breath of fresh air!
Thank you Steve!
kinda knew it might happen, James has a little pal in his neighborhood who mostly lives with his father, but was at his mother's today and she lives near James...so it was boy pal day today, I will see James Monday instead.
Spent the time outdoors, at the train station, in a local cemetery, and at the Fish Hatchery in Leetown, saw kingfishers and blue jays
Best wishes for a good night, think Paula and Sharon are traveling, or maybe finished their journeys...not sure about anyone else...
I'm missing Jo !
ttfn xo ♥
Shirley, is he a Westie??
You may not have too much weeding to worry about along the inside of the fence if Luna and Flash decide to be perimeter pacers!!!
Oh My Goodness...ESP Jo,
you finished posting before I did !
Hello !!!
Margy, sorry for your disappointment, but I know that you know how important it is for James to make friends. Good on him!
West is a Jack Russell, Lynn. He is named for Adam West.
Sorry you did not get to see James today, Margy. But good that he got to spend the day with a friend.
Jo, et al---reminder: CBS is running behind, so The Good Wife and CSI: Miami will be delayed----somewhere around 1/2 an hr. late!!!
Yes, I agree...there are virtually no children in James's neighborhood, and this little chap and he have pretty good times together. Sometimes the three of us go out together, but this wasn't one of those times.
Thank you ♥
LOL, Shirley----he was Batman, right??
Please tell me that the dog wasn't dressed like Batman for Halloween!!!!
Evening all!
WOW, so sorry Taitlyn but what an unselfish thing for her family to donate her organs for others. God Bless them!
Oh geez, riderless horse....MUST MAKE SURE GIRTH IS TIGHT before riding. Hopefully rider not hurt too badly.
Lolly, that is fantastic news about your friend's granddaughter!
How absolutely awful about the AC officer loosing everything to the fire. I sure hope there was insurance. Glad she and her grandson were spared, but very sad for the poor dogs.
aw Margy, sorry you won't get James Time til tomorrow.
Thanks Lynne....I hope the boys spent lots of time outdoors today!
beats television and Play Station time !
I was looking for the burial site of a good friend that died in August, did not find that, but...
did find a portion of the cemetery where many young children were buried, most of them...babies.
I've been there before...a few years back.
Certainly....gave me a lot to think about
Children's graves are so sad...
I hope they played outside today too! Sure was a BEAUTIFUL day. Wish I had been outside more!
The nest is so clear in the moon light. It looks good actually, earlier there were shadows that looked like eagles.My imagination is strong.
It's truly haunting to see the number of infant/young children graves in old cemeteries......life was so very precarious back then for little ones.
I'm going to go soak my knee in the tub. BBL.
Wanda that is a beautiful picture! Congratulations.
Yes, Hoda, I thought we were already Facebook friends, but send the request. I will accept.
some of these, appear to be pauper's graves.....the cemetery has taken care of their burial, some have no headstones.
Most seem to be from within the last years, or more recent.
A young couple was there today, placing one pink and one white rose, on an unmarked burial site.
It is clear that many of the parents do visit, they have left many things at the graves.
My toast, "My parents have taught me, my family and my friends so much , through their example, of what the Sacrament of marriage should be. They have shown love and devotion to each other through all the joys and sorrows that daily life brings. They have lived their vows devoted to one another . We are grateful for the love they have shown each other and us."
My dad had me do some surprise shopping for him this week. He was being silly when he got up and said he needed to say a few words. He kept pulling things out of his pocket saying no not this, and he'd pull something else out and say, no that's not it. Then he told everyone how when he and mom got married he didn't buy my mother a wedding gift. He said that off and on over the years Mom would say how Uncle Carmine or Uncle Joe bought a little something for their respective wives on their wedding day. So then he pulled out his "little something" for my mom which sent her crying! It was very sweet.
Sorry for the long explanation.
I know what you mean, Lynn, about the older cemeteries...Hedgesville Cemetery is like that... and Green Hill...
I was at Rosedale today
Oh Margy, Annemarie was a server, and the boys brought up the gifts during Mass. It worked out very nicely that all 4 of them were together even though Annemarie was serving. I think she asked to be the cross bearer so that she would be in the offertory procession with her brothers.
It's a beautiful post, DanaMo...
and a lovely toast...
Thank You ♥
What was the "little something"??
Aric is safely back at UD! :)
I thought so, DanaMo...I was comparing pictures and clothing!
Beautiful, perfect!
Hey, just checking between games.
Doubt I'll be back tonight so my wish and prayers are for all of you. God bless!
When I was ushering on a regular basis, I got to choose those who could present the gifts, and I loved to watch them as they approached the altar....
P.S. GO STEELERS!!
Hi Diann,and God Bless to You also,
and Jim ! Enjoy your games....
and...good that Aric is safely at his OTHER ROOST Dana
I found a very dainty Rosary bracelet in gold. It was perfect. I found it on Tuesday and the sales lady told me she would hold it until Saturday when they were having early bird specials.Got a great sale price at JCPenney on Saturday. Gold was 70% and I had 2 coupons. It has a small cross and a Miraculous medal and 5 beads.
DANAMO, a beautiful toast for your parents ! So, don't leave us hanging, please, what was that little belated something your Dad gave your Mom ? How nice of you to be his Secret Shopper and I'll bet you had fun doing it, too !
that sounds Perfect, DanaMo!
I see where on your profile...that you also make rosaries....
MARGY, I know how it goes with a young grandson. Seth and I have an agreement, if something with a friend comes up for either of us, that is what we are to do. We have many Saturdays and other times ahead to be together. Hope James had a blast with his friend and that you two will have your usual good time together tomorrow after school !
Thanks Kay....
it is the way it should be....
back a little later, working on some snail mailing things
xox ♥
OH DANAMO Lovely and you were not at all long. I, like MARGY would like to know what was "the little something"...sweet ever so very sweet...
Yes, I do. I make cord rosaries. I made them and had Andrew bring them with him to Australia for World Youth Day and again this time, Aric took them to Spain and brought them to the final Mass and had them blessed by the pope.
I also have made them in the past with beads but haven't done much of that in recent years. I did alot years ago, actually made Adam's rosary I gave him for First Holy Communion, so that was 10 years ago!
What a meaningful gift, DANAMO ! No wonder Mom shed a few tears ! Again, you have a beautiful family and that includes your parents. Glad your brother at least checked in--another blessing for your parents and giving hope that a reconcilation miracle will take place soon !
Perfect gift...even more sweet than I could have imagined.
Hoda and Kay-A very dainty gold Rosary Bracelet.
Okay all, I'm beat and going to watch tv in bed! You are all in my prayers as well as your family and friends who need special prayers tonight.
'night all...
We all keep praying that something good will happen with my brother.
This ol' gal is going to retreat to the recliner for some TV time. Translation: I am going to be catching some zzzz's soon !
Praying for the many we have on our prayer list as well as others in need. So much to give praise for, too ! Wishing you all restful sleep and sweet dreams !♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Isn't today the day we are supposed to be voting on the male eagle's name?
Going to head upstairs. I'll see you tomorrow.
Well, more football tonight! Some of my other fave teams!
Sports buddy at Park said they removed some of the seating at Redskins Stadium. Ticket sales went down. I remember when you had to be on waiting list for years to get any season tickets!
The good old days.
BBL
Lynne, I think it is the last day to submit names.
Lynne, I think Paula's E_M email said vote on Monday & to send in your names if they didn't appear on her list. I resent 2 of ours--they weren't there. Duh
oh, DUH....Hello my name is Lynne and my favorite color is clear! thank you Shirley!
Good night, Lynne. See you tomorrow.
I will be busy. Have a doctor's appointment.
DanaMo, sounds like a perfect gift, and your toast was absolutely adoring!!! Job well done all around! Know you can rest well now that it is all behind you and Aric is safe "home."
Hi, Diann and Lynne....sorry, but it's the Ravens I'm rooting for.
Loretta, I thought it was the open/general seating that they removed seats from (as in gate sales)....????
Paula will let us know on E-M about when to commence voting...
I think that was stated early early on...
but yes, names submitted through November 6 - that's TODAY.
Well tonight we are headed for 21 degrees...yet it does not speak of snow.
I hope we hear from PAULA and SHARON soon. Sharon does not usually chek in in the evening, but maybe I will see her on FB...I wish them both a safe journey.
Glad ARIC made it back safely to Campus Residence.
SHARON is on Face book which for me means she is off the road. WELCOME HOME SHARON.
LOL, Hoda----Sharon is on FB from her phone more than from her puter!!!
Good night and wishes for sweet dreams to all turning in.
Not supposed to be as cold here tonight....and by Tues. we MAY be close to 70°!! I'm hoping!!
I wish I could mow and blow NOW---no air stirring, bright moonlight!
I have a noon lunch date with a friend tomorrow, and then must get in some grosseries....there MAY be time to get some leaves taken care of after that, I hope!
Almost time for The Good Wife. To the sofa I go. Will check back later.
I got some neat Train pictures today for Sharon ☺
OH LYNN I had not thought of that...
the Choo Choo Train, pictures, that is, Sharon !
Slow your heart rate down !
Whoo hoo a Sunday thread with lots of comments...not that I'll get them all read tonight!
Home safe and sound...how is everyone?
oops sorry, forgot to post that!
Love blue corn chips and tater chips...UTZ makes a 3 chip mix, regular, sweet potato and blue potato...really good.
will have to find DanaMo's pics of the anniversary party...beautiful toast and surprise present!
Birds today...eagle, heron, kingfisher and redheaded woodpecker!
Glad to hear of another visit tonight!
Skins lost again? BOO
Oh Hoda, 21°...that's cold!
Paula
Welcome Home!
I saw Kingfishers today...and would die to see a red-headed woodpecker!!
Exciting football on now.
Lynn, you're probably right about the Redskins seats--not necessarily the season holders.
Paula, you've seen some great birds! I don't think I've ever seen a redheaded WP.
Highly likely I will konk out in the wonderful loungechair, so Prayers for All & Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Welcome home PAULA. You saw so many birds. I hope you and NICK enjoyed your weekend as much as we thought you were enjoying it.
I like it when it gets cold and I continue to feel warm. I feel very brave then!!! LOL It is very comfortable in the flat...
Returning from The Good Wife - the plot is thickening somewhat.
My body thinks it is 11:45 and not 10:45. Have my bedclothes on but not ready yet.
I am going to Snavley's Christmas shop
tomorrow with 2 of my daughters up on RT 11. They think I need new ornaments since they are my basement cleaner-outers and they tell me I don't have any decorations.... I knew I should have gone down and supervised the clean up! It will be fun to shop for some new things.
Just wear those warm wooly socks, Hoda and you won't get cold.
Weather was good for you Paula - Will you just keep the Paradise open year
round?
Just last week hubby and son went down and turn off the water and winterized our beach property.
funny about the Christmas ornaments Jo ☺
Paula:
Watch that birdy clock! Best just to take the time-keeping battery out for an hour or however long...
unless you want to cycle through 11 birdies at once !
♪ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ Boing!
had a red-headed's nest behind the VA Center which I watched for two years... but have not seen them in a few years, and it is not in a good birdwatching place...
Thank you Steve for the new thread although it is quickly beginning to look like an old thread.
Too much to catch up on -- you all have been exceeding the speed limit once again.
GWU trounced Bowie State. My student had to leave the game. Emailed it was a cramp not an injury sustained in a fall. Good news, of course.
Wish the Redskins had won but it is what it is.
The night light is on for anyone who may need to arise in the dark and for Andy coming in late from the West Cost. The sandperson has started on his voyage to insure restful sleep for all.
But Have fun Jo
Going to close it down here for the night....
Prayers for Wellness,
for comfort for losses and troubles...
and Thanks for Momsters and Dadsters Friendships ♥
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
JO it is great that you will get to have more fun buying more Christmas Decorations...Enjoy, I like your attitude about the cleaning of the basement.
My body tells me that it too thinks it is time to call it quits but it is only eight in the evening and if I go to bed now I will be up in five hours and then what!!! When I sleep earlier I can not sleep more than five hours...
Hi & Bye Judi
Good Night to all and God Bless you
Special prayers for Dana WV mom to be well. Prayers for all our needs and
Thanking You for all of our blessings.
((Hugs)) for all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Geesh, that must be why I'm tired! It's after midnight, LOL
Going to hit it, see ya in the am
I probably won't get the poll up until tomorrow evening!
Ooops, forgot to say
(((Hugs for all)))♥
Have been reading this evening and then gave myself a manicure. I am with you...I am ready for bed NOW!
Thanks for checking in, Paula. All the mother hens needed that!☺
Heading to the shower and my comfy pj's. Night all! Sweet dreams!
For those who asked about the sex of the baby...not known, yet. December 7 will be the day we will find out. I would LOVE for this child to be a girl!
Hope I can get up early enough to see the eagle pair, once again. It is so exciting after being denied their presence for so long!
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
THANKS PAULA for doing the vote...We will wait till the evening...have a good day at work and don't work too hard.
OK it is now 9:00 which means really ten so I am going to sign off.
Good night and God Bless.
Good Evening, Everyone,
Thank you, Steve, for the new thread.
I have been laying low today. Miss Emma wasn't feeling well this morning--she had a VERY growly tummy that you could hear clear across the room. She threw up some liquid, too. Got her to spend a lot of time in laps today, and she took several long naps. The dog park was closed because it rained here, but wouldn't have been an option anyway, with her feeling less than 100%. Fed her about 1/4 cup of her kibble by
2:30, and it stayed down. Gave her another 1/4 cup at 4:00, and that was OK too. She ate another 1/4 cup at 5:00, and is still fine. She had no diarrhea, but pooped a LOT this morning, then none later.
Drank a lot of water this afternoon, and it stayed down. Hoping she'll be fine in the a.m.
Don't you just hate it when our furbabies don't feel right?!
DanaMo, I know exactly where Stefano's is--they are GREAT!! My former doctor is in that shopping center, and my bank is just around the corner. Small world!
Lolly, great news about the baby with seizures!
Lynn, so sorry about the AC officer who lost everything in a fire--especially her dogs! Prayers for her, for sure.
Prayers for WV Dana's Mom, too. Hope she is feeling better by now.
Oh, Wanda, what an exciting picture! So habby for you!
DanaMo, glad the celebration went so well, and that your Dad was feeling so well! Thank God!
Well, think I'm going to head to TV Land for some mindless watching. Have said prayers for everyone, and for all our favorite critters. Making sure the porch light is on, and enabling both security systems. Sleep well, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]
Yep---I fell asleep during CSI....but it was recording, so it's okay! Wish I had had a blanket on me, tho'----feeling kind of chilly.
Oh, Jo---I was worried that something special might get thrown out---surely hope that none of the missing ornaments were of sentimental value. Enjoy your shopping excursion---I'm not familiar with that shop.
Paula, glad your weekend was full----how did your floor work go?
Hoda, what kind of heat do you have in your flat?
Andy, sure hope Emma is A-OK by morning. Yes, it's hard to deal with a sick pup---they can't tell us what they feel like. :(
Gee, Wanda---now I am wondering who told us that their ggs was going to have a baby sister named Nevaeh....hmmmmm!!!
Turning in. Goodnight, dear ones. Prayers for all, but especially for Taitlyn's soul and her family.
Well Andrea that is cool that you know where Stefano's is located. You will have to go in some time and tell them that you are a "cyber" blogger friend of mine! So cool!. They do a great job with the restaurant we ate there several times when we were there this summer. Wish I would have known you were so close we could have met!
Good morning early birds! Not really ready for a new week. Blah...Better check my lesson plans and see that they are complete.
Paula-glad you made it home safe and sound! Did Nick get to romp in the sand. The Flying Labs are jealous.
Glad to hear of the good news for the babies. There were two different stories right? I get confused as I read through, I should have taken notes. It sad but true that often times it's not what you know, but who you know, to get the immediate attention you want and need. Glad they were able to get that attention!
G☼☼d M☺ring DANA ! Back to the grindstone after a glorious weekend, huh ? Aw, but you get to work with all those K Kuties ! That's not so bad !
Avatar change in this month of thanks. Here is Julie Kay, my stalwart second child who does so much for me here in Columbus. She isn't often this serious looking, but there is something I like about the look and the intensity in those beautiful brown eyes !
I'm up way too early for our nest so started the day off with the Potted Owls in Africa. Found mom and one chick snoozing at 11:30 something, but second chick busy preening. He stopped once in a while to stare around and looked at times like he'd like to jump up on the pot's edge and take off. That will happen all too soon ! They are so cute ! Not nearly as much fun to watch as the eagles are, however !
Good Morning Kay & DanaMO!
Kay, love your avatar of Julie. Another beautiful daughter!
DanaMo, enjoyed your pics of the anniversary party. Looks like an occassion that will be a good memory forever!
DANA, two babies ? Yes, there is the dear little girl who has seizures that LOLLY gave us hopeful word on. And, there is WANDA's precious great-grandchild in utero. I think that's it, hope I'm not forgetting any babies currently on our prayer list !
{{{{{{gLORI}}}}}} Good morning to you ! What's up for today ? Hopefully nothings "shakin" out your way ! There's enough of that going on in OK. Just wrote to a cousin who grew up in Prague where the quake was centered. I know one of her older brothers still lives there or nearby. No injuries reported, but lots of damage to homes. Anxious to hear from Joyce !
Thank you ! Of course, I think my daughters are adorable ! "Pretty is as pretty does" and they are truly wonderful gals !
Kay, I think Julie has gone to great lengths to be a great daughter. You are so fortunate that you decided to settle near her. I'm so grateful for the wonderful care that she has given you, especially when you were so sick. ♥
Sorry I disappeared for a bit. Working on my lesson plans. Just tweaking the ones from last year. Sent them to my school address and will finish tweaking when I get to school. Love my kinders but when there is so much going on during the weekend it feels too short to be starting a new week. Oh well. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. So much to do though! Geez...I can't believe we are at this time of year already!
I guess we'll be seeing Lee as your next avatar.
What's on your agenda today?
I'm so excited to have today and tomorrow off. Hope to finish off the Christmas room and organize all the ribbon. Then I move upstairs to work on my spare bedroom which doesn't even have a bed in it now!
Looks like we are traveling over Christmas. Not sure when I'm going to drop that bomb on my parents since it is such a difficult time for them with my brother and all, but fair is fair and we haven't been to South Dakota since 1991 according to my SIL. MIL gave Monte a real guilt trip and he decided it's a must do. Oh Lord help me.
Thank you, LORI ! Julie has been so dedicated. I know either of the other two kids would have been just as helpful had I moved to their area, but Julie is the one who needed me most and now the tables have turned !

Oh, D-Mo, it is so hard have your own family plus both your parents family...but, if you haven't been to his parents in 20 years, I'm sure your parents will understand. Better find your dogsitter now. :)
excuse my poor punctuation this morning!
Yes, LORI, I'll feature Lee in a couple of days and then run through the grandkids. They all represent what I consider to be my crowning glory in this life and I'm so thankful for each of them !
Oh, DANA, South Dakota in the winter time. You are brave souls ! Hope you're all flying out as the roads up that way can be mighty treacherous when the snow flies. I'd say your visit there is long overdue, however--1991--yep, it's time !
Julie, Hugh and Seth are going to WI for Thanksgiving--flying this time as last year there was a lot of snow and ice between here and there. Hugh's mother is no longer able to make her annual T'Day trip here, so they feel it's a must do.
If anyone has ragweed allergies, and who doesn't these days, here's some good news.
Ragweed Allergy pill success
Yeah, JUDYE gets her computer back today or tonight when she gets to check in again. Miss you, Judy!
If I disappear, FBear is making his LOUD moose noises that the time is really 7:17 according to his tummy, and therefore, it's time to eat!
I'll get the same dog sitter as last time. He did such a great job! I hope he is willing.
I know we have to go and I know my parents will understand. Monte has 3 other siblings though and my parents at this time only have me, so they will be alone for Christmas. It breaks my heart.
LORI, Velly intawesting news on that hope for help with Ragweed allergy ! Apparently not on the market yet, but keep checking with your docs about it !
Can't imagine how poor JUDY has survived without that computer. Thought she'd be over at Angie's and on hers, but of course she has been working the last two days. It will be good to "see" her again !
We will be driving. No way can we fly, too expensive for 6 people, we used all our points for CA which again I think plays a part of the guilt for this trip. We have taken many trips and have not been out there for a holiday. We have been out there, just not for a holiday. I can't remember when but we took the camper and drove out, took the kids all the way to Rushmore.
Oh, poor FloBear ! These time changes are tough on our four legged friends !
Good Morning Lori, DanaMo and Kay
FloBear appreciates your sympathy, Kay.
D-Mo, My best friend, Pam, lives in Pierre, SD. I had a wonderful time there last summer.
Good Morning, DanaWV and all lurkers! Step on in, it's cold out there.
Glad I got this new mouse or I would have REFRESH FINGER at this point! LOL
EAGLE IN THE NEST!!!
The nest is bathed in sunshine a bit of ahead of that sunrise prediction. I'm stepping away for a few--that should bring our beauties on for the rest of you to see !!!
Wow, I got a picture/capture of that, don't know how to post it though. It was EAGLE in mid air arriving at nest! Very cool looking.
BOTH EAGLES IN THE NEST
There are TWO eagles in our nest!!!
Good morning everyone!
Good Morning Sissy!
BOTH EAGLES CONTINUE THEIR ARRIVAL RITUAL OF MAKING NESTORATIONS. ONE BY THE EGG CUP, THE OTHER TOWARDS THE BRANCH AT 4-5.
DIFFICULT TO TELL WHICH IS WHICH IN THIS LIGHT.
BOTH EAGLES NOW FACING MIDDLE OF NEST AND PICKING UP TWIGS.
I think Belle is in the forefront, or 6 o'clock in the nest at this time, and the other eagle is near the cup, but I could be totally wrong on that.
At least you have an idea which is which, Sissy. I haven't a clue with this light and unable to see the black spot on the male's head.
CAN SEE A BLACK SPOT ON THE HEAD OF THE ONE WITH ITS BACK FACING THE CAM...
I am grateful for this still cam, but what I wouldn't give to have the live feed up. We are missing out on alot of action right now in the nest. But, again, I am very grateful for the still cam. At least we know they are there and working on the nest.
POOF!
SO THIS MUST BE BELLE SITTING ALONE IN THE CENTER OF THE NEST...AGAIN.
POOF, SECOND EAGLE GONE.
MT NEST NOW.
Aha, it worked ! I got back in time to see the second Poof ! I feel like RED---remember how he used to tell us he was going to take a nap so the eagles would show up ? Sure enough, most days that's just what happened !☺ I miss RED !!!!!
Hi SISSY, glad you were here to help LORI with the report ! Thanks gals !
Now we're up to 7am, so I'm leaving to catch up on my newspapers and get the day rolling in my nest. BBL
I've posted the picture of the Eagle Landing this morning on my blog.
Off to start making the most of my day off.

Well the Steeler did not win their game last night. I did enjoy watching them play though. I can now watch an entire game (although last night did not see entire game) now so I bet Ed♥ is happy
about that for me. ( :
Good morning!
EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EAGLE IN OUR NEST NOW!
GETTING PICS.
JUST SITTING THERE POSING BEAUTIFULLY.
BOTH EAGLES IN NEST!!!
I spent a long time in at Mothers yesterday. Went and got her food for her dinner she wanted.
Thank God her doctors appointment is tomorrow Tuesday. She has all the Aleve out of her system so the doctor can check her out good.
Hearing her cry out in pain was so heart breaking.
I think she might be having a circulation problem also. Her feet even though I put socks on her and
wrapped in feet in a triple blanket they were freezing. After she would rest some. I ask her
if she thought she could try and sit up. So her feet could get some circulation in them. She did
make it and after awhile said my feet feel nice and warm now. Is wasn't too long that she said
she had to lay down again. So I would help her and cover her because she could not pull covers
up cause fingers and hands hurt so bad. Then I covered her feet again to keep them warm. If I tried to raise her feet some it hurt her to bad.
She would not let stay with her last night. So I can't wait to be able to talk with her this
morning. I fixed her bed all up and did other things she usually does before going to bed.
Then I helped her into bed and pulled the covers up for her.
She did have a visit while
I was with her from her brother and his wife.
Her brother isn't in the best of health either.
They kept saying let us take you too the hospital. She kept telling them NO, I have my appointment
with my doctor on Tuesday. I have only one more day to make it.They tried to talk me into going
against her wishes and I told them I would not go against Mothers wishes.
So I am suppose to call them after her doctors appointment.
I did not sleep very well last night. I knew I would not with my worry of leaving her alone.
Thanks for the eagle Alert. I seen them when they were in earlier too.
YAY, LYNN! I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE WATCHING.
MALE CLOSEST TO CAM. I SEE THE SPOT.
HE POOFED.
Grateful to have a visit this morning. I thought I had missed all the action.
HMM, I SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE SPOTS ON THE REMAINING ONE. HARD TO TELL, MAYBE SHADOWS.
