«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 718 of 718Must admit that all this activity of the last few days has prevented me from keeping up with Blog Posts..since about Wednesday, except for here and there...
I'll catch up "one of these days."
Enjoyed Wanda's post about her first trip to the NCTC nest and meeting Robyn, and Tori....and the safe haven that the Eagle Express afforded young Tori during the nest visit....
Blessed Service from the Captain and First Mate, allrighty!
Best wishes on the MRI, Wanda
Lynn, are all your Tins out for display for Christmas, I see you are all finished decorating! And how special, what Charlie and Carolyn did for that couple while shopping.... ♥
Loving Wishes to you Kay, on this, your and Stan's Anniversary (( Hugs ♥ ))
Hope you feel 100% better soon, Lolly, Big Christmas Family things coming up I see....
and DanaWV, glad your Mother seems to be doing at least a wee bit better....
"Wowser," there has been some Serious Nestcapading over the last few days, eh??
Hoda, there are probably some college games happening, but not professional!
Enjoy yur waxing!!

Prayers for Wellness,...
Glad to read of the Happy Things...and hope any and all troublesome things, resolve...quickly

oh I see a comment I made
James's Mother's Dad Grandfather makes no sense...
that would be his Mom's Dad...i.e.
his grandfather ☺
Hi Hedgie...I can almost smell those cookies from here !!
xoxox ttfn ♥
Last pan of oatmeal cookies in the oven. I am TIRED!!!!
Hi, Margy!!! Glad you are having such great fun!
Hmmmm...when are Kurtz and her Dad heading south? You left that part out!!
Enjoy the time you have left. I know you are making the most of it! Miss you!
Hi MARGY...Good to read your posts. I am glad it is going well with the visit and that JAMES THE WISE enjoyed his birthday.
YUM YUM the cookies are almost done at LYNN'S I will share a cup of tea...would you be able to share a cookie???LOL... Soon you can put your feet up.
I will start on one of the books tonight...they both look interesting and the librarian was highly recommending both of them.
Lynn, the Cowboys are playing rigNNht now. Yep, a Saturday night game! 14-0 over Tampa Bay.
Now have three pumpking rolls in the refrig. Just need to unroll them after they have cooled, add the filling and roll them back up. These three are gifts for the neighbors. Will make two more tomorrow. I ran out of nutmeg so I had to stop. House is smelling good!
that is supposed to be "right now". Do not know how that happened. lol
And, my goodness, "pumpking" rolls. lol Make that pumpkin. I better start proof reading better. My fingers have a mind of their own.
Hoda, I'll share my cookies!!
Lolly, oops----don't know how I missed that game....not on network TV here. ESPN maybe?
It's on the NFL network, Lynn.
Good Evening! I see today was a busy baking day for some!! Kudos!
I am just at the point of bringing the decorations down to decorate the house. Little by little I will get it done! It was really difficult because so much of what I have as decorations were either made by my Mom (ceramics) or given to me. I played some nostalgic music and and thought of many happy times in the past!
♪♫ Wishing James, the Wise a very special birthday!! Enjoy your weekend with family and friends! You are loved!!♪♫
Gotcha, Lolly. I don't get that channel.
Linda, good on you for working your way through the memories.....grace, nostalgia, love....it all will come together for you, I know.
Sofa time. Liesl is giving her hints!
(((Hugs))) Linda! I am glad you are putting out decorations and I know you are enjoying being home with your Dubby and the animals.
21-0 now!
Lynn, do the Giants and Redskins play tomorrow?
Oh! I heard beautiful singing....
Thanks Linda... sorry James was not here to hear it....
Your home will surely be beautifully decorated....
(( Hugs♥ )) for the sadnesses you might experience...and hopes that the tearful moments are dear and precious with richness of beautiful memories
Lynn, You're right, I left a word out of my sentence....Kurtz and her father will start back towards Florida Monday....around sundown
Hello Again Folks More Evening Eagle Pals...having some great dialogue here now with my Stepdaughter....
just learned a new phrase (new to me...) with dealing with difficult persons:
Bless Them, Change Me...
xoxo ttfn (again) ♥
Hi,
Getting ready to post a picture of the rocks from our mine trip. They have been in a rock tumbler for several weeks now and are looking pretty good. Still have to be polished a bit.
Rock picture is now posted. Kathryn and Hunter have been working hard at keeping the tumbler going.
Lynn, you can watch the game on NFL.com.
Thanks, Lynn, Lolly & Margy!! One step at a time!! (((((HUGS))))) back to you!!! ♥
MARGY - Wonderful to see you!! I've missed you! ♥♥♥
Rocks are looking good, Shirley! That is a great activity for Hunter. Joseph and Jacob are getting interested in fossils. They will probably be going out soon with Jack on a fossil hunt.
Well, I am going to turn in a bit early tonight. It's been a busy and somewhat emotional day today!
Wishing you all restful sleep and sweet dreams.
Saying prayers for all our needs, both big and small. Special prayers for Robyn and Tori!! May the Lord give you strength and endurance to make that walk on Monday!! This is your time, Tori!
Night ♥
Shirley, your rocks have polished beautifully...I'm wondering what the blue ones are. They look a little like turquoise, but I don't think they are found in the East.
I have been a rock hound since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Loved our trip out West. The rocks and pebbles are so varied and beautiful. We also, have a polisher and many little beauties showed up...it's so exciting to open up the polisher and see what comes out!
Good night, dear Linda♥
Hi Wanda! Have you purchased GG's Christmas present? What did you get her? I won't tell!☺
Good Eveneung Eagle Buds!!!! I've got a lot of catch up to do---maybe around New Year!!
Been doing some puter stuff---adding addresse4s for labels, printing some pics, etc. Could have done most by hand much quicker! pretty quiet at Park~~~a few people coming to hike who had seen Post article 2 weeks ago.
Gotta check my camera & see if anything there.
Margy, I did read about your great Jamester B'Day party. How wonderful--you're the best!
BBL
P.S. got call at Park today from TX. Sher & Jim going to party tonight & she needed crab meltaway recipe! She thought I might be home & Fubby had no idea where to look. As I was telling her some of the ingredients, they were online!, trying to find it in the car!! They did~~I don't know how---maybe Blackberry.
I started The Help. Takes getting used to the sentence structure. Instead of "of" she uses "a"...yet the story line is very interesting to me...I think she is a good writer...
Yep, Lolly...GO SKINS!
I will end up missing the end of the game, I'm sure. Joy Gift service at church tomorrow evening. Christie and I will eat out before hand. She'll be ringing at the service. I'll have to leave here at 4.....and we all know that the games never end on time.
Suzan....I found that I DO have that channel after all! Thanks. Not interested in watching the Cowboys, tho'!
Okay, Margy.....so you still have two days!!! Good phrase that Kurtz passed on....very meaningful.
I, too, have been a rockhound, but I'vre never had a polisher/tumbler. Not familiar at all. Need to study up on that.
Hunter's collection is beautiful, Shirley!

Wanda, what time is your apptmt. Weds? Mine is 1:20.
Loretta, great that Sherry found the recipe. Sounds yummy!
Hoda, it takes longer for me to read The Help because I am trying to read it exactly as written!!! It gets a little befuddling! I only have 43 pages to go.
Too bad, Jusy, that Carl couldn't attend....hope Jordyn wasn't too disappointment. And to not get to do her second number... :(
I see what you mean LYNN about it taking a long time to read...I rather imagine it is to do the accent. I understand also that it is now a movie...I think LOLLY saw it with LAUREL. My American siblings saw it and loved the film...
Lily Cam installation proceeding
LYNN thank you for LILLY's link...
Christie and I saw it, too, Hoda, as soon as it came out! It was good!!
Lynn, will you believe we will be wanting the Redskins to win tomorrow!! LOL
I read The Help on my kindle. Laurel read it, too. Then we saw the movie. The did a great job with the casting.
What is the other book you have, Hoda?
LOLLY THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER is my other book. It sounds like a good story of family relations.
Three pumpkin rolls are complete and in the refrig. Kitchen is cleaned up as well. A productive day!
I figured you would, Lolly!!! The in-division games are the ones that count the most. Don't worry---I WON'T root for the Giants!!
Read it Hoda and let us know. I need a good book right now.
Last weeks game killed us. Just glad we were out of town and not near SIL, Joey! He and Joseph are BIG Giant fans. Poor Joseph was brain washed by his dad, but we have Jacob on our side. LOL This summer Jacob gets a Cowboy bedroom!!
Heading for the tub. I am beat....and knee is a killer. Do think I overdid a bit today.....but it's okay cause I got a LOT accomplished! Too tired to mess with manicure...so I won't do ANYTHING tomorrow except try to prettify me!!
Will check back when I come back upstairs.
Ahhh! Jack just brought me a G&T.
Glad you mentioned manicure. Gotta do that yet tonight!
Nite Lynn! (((Hugs)))
Lynn, you get lots of excercise going up and down stairs. That is good except not so good for the knee! So glad we do not have stairs!
The last U.S. troops in Iraq have crossed into Kuwait, ending almost nine years of a deadly and divisive war.
The above according to CNN
Lolly, I did not find a gift for GG or Jayden:( Got too tired to shop but just one store. Boy, when I get my NEW KNEE, I'm going to Shop til I DROP!
I'll come up with something...?
LORETTA...Crab Meltaways sounded so good that I, too, looked them up. I now have that on my Christmas buffet list!
LYNN, my appointment with Dr. Knutson is on Thursday at 1:40. Too bad we aren't in sinc with appts...we could do lunch:) Another time, we will hook up.
WANDA is your Thursday appointment to decide on the knee surgery?
Good late evening friends. Missed a lot
today I can see by the count.
This evening in Catonsville we were with
our daughter/hubby, 2 gs both with galfriends.Menu had Small plate or Big
plate. 2 small plates of different choices were like a big plate which was
a full dinner. I had crab cake and small steak. Delicious!I would go back
again.
Surprised to see snow on the cars as we got to Frederick area.
Hoda I see you coming thru the SPLIT.
I am going to hit the pillows....
Good Night to all & God Bless all of
my friends. Prayers for all - especially
for Tori's walk on Mon. Praying that
Robyn can rest and stay strong physically and emotionally.
Hugs for everyone ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Tried to say good night hours ago, but had lost the Internet connection. I went to bed, but couldn't sleep, so I got up and managed to solve the Internet issue, thank goodness.
OK I will sign off too.
Night light is set for anyone else that might wake up at night and for all the late comers.
Security system is set and may there be peace and comfort for all.
Good night and God Bless.
HODA, my Thursday appointment is to discuss what issues were found on the MRI and...schedule surgery as soon as possible! Hope it is soon, but I'll probably be put on a waiting list:(
Going to turn in now.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
BIG TIME PRAYERS FOR TORI
Oh, Wanda...too bad....I thought you had said it was Weds.! We'll make it one day soon!
Jo, what restaurant did you all go to?
Lolly, I figure I probably made a total of 20 trips up and down, or down and up today! ARGH! Enjoy that G&T---I could use one!
Time to turn off my light, too. Sleep well, one and all. Prayers going up for all with a special one for Tori and Robyn--and Bobbi, too.
Goodnight, my dear friends.
Think I can sleep now. Heading upstairs. See you tomorrow!
Well, I have been checking my email. Now everyone is turning in. I am headed that way myself.

Lori, I'm a morning person as well. I'm up by 6 or 6:30 even in the summer when I'm off (I play tennis 5 days a week and am on the court by 8 in the summer). The older I get, the stronger my introvert gets - I need alone time (Bella is allowed to invade b/c she doesn't talk, just sleeps in my lap).
Going to feed the dogs and make tea - may miss an eagle entrance!
GOOD MORNING!!!!
Yes, Sandi, I love this alone time, too.
HI DIANN! How are you feeling?
Oh gosh, FloBear, my cute big Santa Bully is up...that means the loudness will start soon! Woof!
Hi Lori. Getting better each day.
Still have knee pain from going the steps but I just put my let up and ice when needed.
Hi Sandi. I don't remember you, are you new? I've been away for it seems weeks, so I've missed any newbies. If you're new - welcome!
duh... leg.
Nice to "meet" you Diann! I don't believe we've both been on the blog at the same time before. Good morning!
Diann, I intended to post only once - a question about how to get my sound to work. And now I'm hooked!! =) I've read the blog off and on for about a year, just to stay up to date on what's happening at the nest, and have followed the nest cam since 2009.
Sorry, where's my manners? Diann this is newbie Sandi... Sandi please meet Diann!
Thanks for the into, Lori! Color on the nest!
I'm usually one of the nightowls so I don't see the daysters much unless they're on in the evenings.
Don't know why I'm up this early?
I guess Jimbo woke me - he's an early riser.
Sitting here with a pretzel rod and a cup of coffee. Don't want to miss the eagles landing.
Good morning my friends.
Good morning Thelma!!!
Morning Thelma!
Jimbo just came back inside for my keys. He locked his in the car while warming it up. heehee.
Guess he's not wide awake yet.
Something is wrong with Bella this AM. She was very slow coming down the stairs to go outside and, when she came back in, she wouldn't come back up the stairs - I had to carry her. But when I put her food down, she walked away from it - Bella would eat until she explodes! The fact that she had all her teeth removed has never been an issue since she never bothered to chew her food when she had teeth - just inhaled it!! Not sure if she's sick (nose is cold and wet) or hurt herself jumping from somewhere yesterday (we try to discourage her from jumping from things b/c dachshunds are so prone to back injuries). On another note, am I seeing an occasional snowflake at the nest?
Good Morning T-Bird! How are you and Buddy this morning.
Sandi, just saw a snowflake too.
What time do these birds arrive? I don't want to miss them but I'm ready to go back to bed.
... back to bed I go, yawn. Will catch up with you later. Have a blessed Sunday.
I have tennis at 9 so I'm giving the eagles 10 more minutes to make an appearance!
Maybe yesterday's muzzleloaders have them a little skittish.
Good Lori. We are enjoying a light dusting of snow this morning. I want more.
Do you like to shovel, Thelma, or just stay inside and look at the snow. LOL
I hope Bella feels better soon Sandi. We had a dachshund that hurt her back with no getting better from jumping. Bassets have the same problems. So far so good with Buddy.
My mom lost her collie (age 10) very suddenly in Sept. She has been beyond sad since then - truly depressed. Last week, one of the sceretaries at school; said she is looking for a home for her 2-year old female Havanese b/c she can't afford 2 dogs. I'm a big believer that God presents us with opportunities and, in my mind, this was an opportunity for my mom to be happy again. I emailed her a picture of little Daisy and asked if she'd like another dog. I didn't hear from her for 2 days so I figured she was considering it. This AM, there was an email from my mom that she doesn't want the dog - she thinks she's too old and has too much difficulty walking to give the dog the exercise she would need. I'm thinking a little dog like a Havanese could get enough exercise just running and playing in the house with a toy my Mom could throw. Anyone know about this breed? Better yet, anyone have an idea what I might say to convince my mom to give another dog a try? I think she doesn't want another b/c it hurt so much when Shane died.
Sandi, Maybe you could just take the dog over there to meet her and once she sees it she would have a better idea if she wants it or not.
That's exactly how she got Shane. Her dog had died and someone had abandoned a collie puppy on my school parking lot! I took him home and it was a done deal. Sadly, my mom still lives in Balto. and I am now 2 1/2 hours away in Bethany. Otherwise, that's just what I would do!
Gotta get ready for tennis. But I thought I'd throw the dog for my mom idea out there for everyone to think about and offer suggestions. BBL.
Sandi, it's been my experience with my own mother, that she is on her own journey. My brother tried, with two dogs, to console my mother with another dog to love. Neither worked for her. I wish my brother would have trusted her judgment and loved her through her decision, which I know you do. Of course hind sight is 20/20. She may be ready later. If it's meant to be, I have faith, that it will happen. Prayers to you and your mother through this difficult time.
Well, there's a lot of dog lovers on here, so maybe you'll get an answer. Have fun a tennis, Sandi!
I'm selfish, I want a darn visit.
That's not selfish, Thelma...that's just wanting the world to be happy. You have a great heart!
Happy Sunday everyone. One week until Christmas. The years go by so fast.
GOOD MORNING ALL...
Yes, you are seeing a bit of snow at the nest. Just a flurry, for now. I have not seen or heard a weather forecast in a week, so I don't know what these flurries might turn into.
SANDI...in case you don't know me, I live about 5 miles from the Sycamore Palace, so when it snows or rains here, it is usually the same at the nest site.
Hi Miss Thelma...are you expecting an accumulation of snow?
Good Morning, Wanda. I'm so excited for your Doc appt this week so we know what kind of surgery and when you will get your knee replacement!
Well, I have to get off now and try to get some leaf mulching done. Have a great morning. BBIAW.
LORI, the idea of taking the dog to visit Sandi's mom is a GREAT idea. Maybe they will get together for the Holidays.
I would love for GG to have a dog, but I don't think she is able to take care of anything:(
OK, Lori, et al, I need to go, also.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥
OH, WOW...I forgot JAMES'S birthday. Sorry, young man...that's what you are now!
Hope you had a good time with your family at your party.(((HUGS)))
Love from the Captain & First Mate♥
Good morning, you early birds!! Good to see you! Diann, glad to hear that you are doing better. Did Jim have to work today? :(
Looks like the eagles stood you all up....too bad.
Sandi, I sure hope that Bella is okay. I ultimately lost my Cinnamon because of cervical disc probelms.....all started when she made a dive off the sofa. But the pain was obviously bad....pinched nerve. We nursed her through 5 years....but finally there were no options but $5000 surgery. By then she was 11.....and we went ahead and let her go to the Rainbow Bridge. :(
I don't know anything about the Havanese. A meet and greet as Lori suggests might be a good way to approach things. How old is your Mom?
Thelma, please keep any more snow down your way!! The flurries yesterday were enough for me!
Wanda, I seem to recall you mentioning something about having a stall at a flea market near Winchester. Our younger son went to Shenandoah Music Conservatory in Winchester, so we made that drive frequently. And our older son has a home in Ranson WV though it is currently rented while he's living and working in Africa. It's BEAUTIFUL country around there!! We will be driving to my mom's for a few days for Christmas but wouldn't want to show up with a new dog that she may not want. We all want to do something when the people we love are sad and the hardest thing, but sometimes the best thing, is to just wait! OK, I'm off to tennis! Later.
Oops---too far for a meet and greet session, I see. Hmmmmm......well, Thelma's words sound very wise. I know that my Mom wavered a lot after she lost Penny (also a doxie), but finally decided against another....and it was for the best because her Mother entered her aging decline and Mom spent more and mre time at her place, so it would have beenn a bad situation if she had gotten another doggie.
A few years ago I found the most realistic life-size stuffed dog I had ever seen, and sent it to her. She named it Sam and she talks to him and pets him many times each day! She loves it and we have all gotten lots of laughs out of it.
TAKING A LITTLE TIME TO READ BACK BEFORE HEADING OVER TO THE NEW THREAD.
i SEE THAT OTHERS ARE ALREADY ON THE NEW THREAD.
NEW THREAD!!!
Some big, lazy snow flakes falling...not supposed to be!
