Merry Christmas, Steve! Thanks for the new thread.
Merry Christmas from me, too, STEVE ! A new Christmas thread, how nice !
Guess I should e-mail LYNN, she may be stuck over yonder.....
No evidence of a visit amongst the few posts, but the nest looks as if it's been messed with a bit since I left at 8 a.m.. Hmmm, I wonder....
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Steve!
LYNN, you said:
My BFF in CA is winging her way to FL as we speak....with her sis and BIL and Bro and SIL...4 days at Disney, and then a weeks cruise in the Caribbean! Had her Christmas with her son and grands and new DIL yesterday. She is once again free as a bird! Her son got married last month, and he and the girls moved out of her house after 2 years of "invasion"----she is so glad to have a life again!!

I don't blame her a bit ! There comes a time when we need our own space !!!!!
PAULA, love your creative greeting ! Hope all is merriment and glee at your house !
DANAMO, what's up ? Are the kids all happy and busy with new toys, big kid toys, that is ! Hope Santa was good to you !
Isn't that the truth, Kay? She became a full-time Mom again, and had to go back to a full-time job to support them all. It hasn't been easy. Think the girls were 5 and 8 when they moved to CA from VA. He fought a long battle getting permanent custody of the girls from a jailbird girlfriend.
LYNN, you're coming up with some beautiful avatars !
Dishwasher is emptied and china closet is once again home to the good china! And that is all the work I plan to do today!!
Added sausage to my cinnamon rolls for breakfast---and all is well!
Can you beleive that pro basketball is actually going to start today? Half a season.... how weird.
I'm glad to hear that's all the work you plan to do today ! You need a day of relaxation and a break from treatments. Your breakfast sounds yummy and you're not having "digestive" problems, I assume.
I'm so clueless when it comes to Pro Basketball. Do you have a favorite team ?
G☺☺♣ M☼rning one and all

Thanks for the Fresh CHRISTMAS thread STEVE
Good Morning, JUDY ! You and PAULA are thinking alike with your cheery greetings. Were you at Angie's for Jordyn's Santa time this morning ?
NO visit huh maybe they were visiting relatives LOL
No I am home going over later Angie and Carl have Christmas morning with his parents and me in the afternoon for dinner and yesterday was with her dad so its all up to her three family sort need split
I got the graphic off facebook Some people can come up with some great graphic
I'm just sitting here watching the parade and drinking coffee so nice just to relax
Thanks, Kay. I thought it was a pretty avatar!
The only pro BB team I pay attention to is the Washington Wizards!
Puter is being a PIA this morning. Finally rebooted.....will see if it decided to behave now!
Aha, I thought it was just me---it's Yahoo---I had to reboot, too. The cam came to a halt and would'nt refresh. I went to e-mail and the thing stalled when I hit send. So, then the reboot and it's okay.
Kay, I may even try a ham sandwich for lunch soon!!
Good ! A good appetite is a good sign ! I'm getting hungry myself. I may just have a PB&J n' ice tea. See you in a few.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Cold morning but not much snow fell overnight.
You have a wonderful avatar LYNN. Glad you slept well in your bed and breakfast sounds great...
I am spending my morning opening Christmas cards and talking to friends and family on the phone.
I'm back with a sufficiently full tummy to tide me over til' I join Julie's family for fun and food.
HODA, Merry Christmas to you as well ! Glad you are enjoying the day and staying warm and cozy.
Belle and Shep are such a puzzling pair. They've spent so much time at the nest lately, but have decided to take a leave of absence most of yesterday and today. Think I'll take a look at the Vian, OK pair and see how those 3 eggs are doing.
Well, that was a jolly good idea, but none of the OK cams would work for me. I can see there are comments dated today, so it's not been a problem all day at least.
Taking a break away from the puter, BBL. Merry Christmas to anyone checking in !
Megan posted on FB that she has seen the eagles soaring near her place! Of course, guess no way to know if it's Belle and Shep....but we will assume it is! Just a hop and skip across the river!!
Howdy, Hoda! Merry Christmas to you.
Ate my ham sammich---tasty! Feeling a nap coming on!
MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR FRIENDS!
Have been up since 6:30. Groan.....lol! Presents have been opened and the house is smelling of turkey. Yum! Our plan is to eat in an hour.
On here using my new cordless mouse for the first time. Now all I need is a typo free keyboard! ☺
I do hope each an everyone of you are having a wonderful day.
Cool all four cams have a eagle in in at OK Getting ready to head to Angie and Carls
MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, friends. A beautiful yet chilly day in N. C. Hope everyone is having Christmas spiritually. We don't have to be around lots of people today to experience the true meaning of the day.
Finally an update on the Jordan Lake Eagles. He has had some dificulty getting equipment installed properly and hopes to have it worked out this coming week. No news on the eagles nor the eggs.
Again, safe travels and good health. Eat all you want today for Monday is a new day.
My very best to you all in this holiday season. Merry Christmas! Steve added the above to the heading new thread.
And to you STEVE thank you very much and Many Blessings come your way and of course that includes your family.
Getting ready to go to Yoga...BBL
All I ate this morning is Christmas Cake!!! I have to be mor careful for the rest of my meals today!!! LOL!!!
Hi, Lolly, Suzan and JudyE. Everyone's day is rolling along, I see! Good on you!
My semi-nap was nice---watching White Christmas---had to rewind a little!! Did I ever tell you that Bing Crosby and my Dad looked very much alike??
Wish we would hear from our morning gLori....hope she is having a great holiday in PA. I believe that Kate's family is local, so hope she is also having a great time.
Suzan, too bad about the cam problems at the Jordan nest....thanks for the update. Sure hope he gets it resolved soon!
Just back after an hour long nap ! You made me sleepy talking naps, LYNN !☺
JUDY, Sutton has two camera views, a close up and a wide angle at the Vian site and also at Sooner Lake. An eagle at Sooner Lake ? That's a good omen. Hope the pair is successful this year. Mama Vian is sitting on her three eggs right now and the weather looks tolerable.
Glad things are going well in TX, LOLLY and that you are enjoying your day in OBX, Suzan !
HODA, what goes into your Christmas Cake ?
Another wish for merriment and I'm off to Julie's for a few hours.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Reporting in again, boys are playing and Jack, Joey, and Laurel all have their noses in books.
We have had dinner.
All is quiet until dessert time. LOL I am sooo sleepy but I am unable to nap with people around. Never have been able to do that.
EAGLES...BOTH!!!!
AND POOF ONE! Had just been telling Carolyn goodbye at the door...turned and there they were!
Merry Christmas, Belle and Shep!!!!
And POOF, two. Short and sweet.
I hurried to the cam, Lynn, but missed them.
Just lost the color!
I just got back in and missed Belle'n Shep. Good quiet yoga practice with around fifteen people.
Night light just came on and thanks LYNN for reporting that they were in. Like KAY this morning I could tell they were in because the fluff was moved about...
KAY I di dnot make my fruit cake...it came from the health food store with organic rice flourwonderful nuts and dried fruit and sweetened with maple syrup...Very decadent in richness and dark in colour...hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios and walnuts cranberry, ginger and apricots are the dried fruits that stick most in my taste buds...
I am more than half way through with THE HELP. It is a good book and I like the way the characters are developping yet it seems the story line towards this section is simply repeating itself...I hope it moves out of this experience of stuckness and develop the events. The historic events of the sixties should have helped the author not get stuck in repeating the sentiments and the events expressed...I would have liked it if Stuarts character was developed a bit more...I will see how the rest of it goes...
ROFL, Hoda....bet all those things stuck in your teeth as well as your tastebuds!!!! :)
Glad Yoga was a good session!!
Birds were too fast for me to get a capture---I wasn't sitting down. :( Sorry.
Hoda, don't get your hopes too high well the development of the book.....or Stuart!
Merry Christmas!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day with family and friends!
We are having a quiet Christmas Day, but it is really nice to have some peace and quiet.
We will be having our dinner a little late. It will be worth the wait, especially since I didn't have a Thanksgiving meal this year. Looking forward to the traditional turkey dinner!
Love to all of you as you celebrate the birth of our Wonderful Savior!
Good to see you, Linda! Did Riley get a special present from Santa??? I know your meal will be well worth the wait!!
Nest has lost the light....too dark to see much of anything---IF it were to happen!
Got confused on Christie's schedule. She doesn't work unntil late this evening, too...so she is on her way now for leftovers! For the cook, it always tastes better the second day!!
Evening, all!
Wonderful day with John, Michael, Ajay and grandkids...they loved all their presents, and it was so much fun watching them opening them. They have headed home...Michael my go up there a little later, but I'll probably stay home.
Nick got a stocking full of toys and a new flatlet piggie! Plus, a bowl full of goodies for Christmas dinner.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Steve, and thank you for the Christmas thread.
I like your Christmas decoration PAULA...your day sounds good too...
Merry Christmas night to everyone. So happy everyone seems to have had a very special day and that includes momsters, dadsters,children, grandchildren, great-grans, and all our fur-ever companions.
Steve, thank you for the Christmas Day thread. I hope your day was special. May the New Year be happy and healthy for you and yours.
May the New Year bring strong and healthy eaglets to Belle and Shep.
The night light is set for 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all and for all a good night.
Michael and I have been playing words with friends here at the table...he has finally gone up to John's for a little while....I am pooped!
Christie is gone. I ate leftovers, and she decided to take hers to go, but she did eat pie!
MArgy called....she is still I S'town...dinner soon to be served.
After that she will take James home to Berkeley Springs. Long day, but sounds like she's having a nice time.
Paula, glad you are in for the evening....bet the kiddies were fun to see!
Judie, glad you stopped in!!
going to watch the Good wife, then probably crash after that...probably see you tomorrow!
Sounds like I'm not the only one who feels happy, but very tired ! Had a great afternoon and evening with the kids, but am ready for a couple of quiet, restful days ! The Old grey mare, she ain't what she used to be !
LYNN, happy you got a quick glimpse of Belle and Shep so we know they're aok ! So sweet that Carolyn and Christie made it a point to see you on this special day !
LINDA, good to hear about your quiet, peaceful day. Just the kind of restoration you need.♥♥♥
HODA, that cake is downright decadent and can't help but be absolutely scrumptious !
Thanks to JUDIE for checking in and setting the night light ! Others have been sweet in stepping in when needed, but I'm sure we all agree you have a special touch.
Hope you each have sweet dreams as you remember your Christmas 2011 !
Praying for all in need and in thanks for blessings enjoyed across Momsterdom today ! Safe travels to those heading home this evening and tomorrow !
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Watching The Grinch on tv, boys staying up late..I am sleeping late in the morning, for sure!!
It has been a great day!
Hello, Kay. Sounds like you have the pleaant tiredies, too! I think we are all there!! Just finished my bath, and I think Liesl is ready for her beddie-bye routine. BBL.
Of course, The Good Wife is a repeat but I know Paula missed a lot of episodes.
Joey is going home in the morning and taking Bosco. Yes, Bosco is here too. Poor Annie is housed in our bedroom with her food and box in our bathroom.
Laurel and the boys are here until Tuesday. Laurel and I are going to a movie tomorrow. We want to see the latest Twlight movie.
Oh, Lynn that sounds great. Wish I was bathed and ready for bed!
I am right with you, Kay. I am exhausted and so ready for peace and quiet. It will come Tuesaday after they leave, but once I rest I will miss them.
A beautiful Christmas is coming to the
end BUT I pray the peaceful feelings will continue all through the new year.
I finished off today quietly watching some of the Hallmark light-hearted movies.I am so ready to hit the pillows.
My Christmas was wonderful with all the family gatherings. Peace To All
Good Night - Prayers being said -
Hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
It has been a wonderful week as well as a great day!
Wish I could quote all the wonderul Jacob statements. He gave us several good laughs today.
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Good night and God Bless. I wish you all sweet dreams and JUDIE set the night light and in case ANDY does not log on I will set the security systems...
It sounds that everyone who chimed in tofay knew the meaning of Christmas and enjoyed themsleves in celebration.
Good night.
Oh, my-----sofa time almost turned into the big sleep! Whew----almost missed the chance to say a final Merry Christmas to all---and Peace.
Now to catch up again while I eat a piece of punkin' pie.
Well, that was fast. Most everyone is either still celebrating, fell asleep in their chairs, too.....or still traveling.
Jo, Lolly--glad you are good-tired, too. Even Hoda is an early bird!
Well, I will join you with saying goodnight, God bless, and see you tomorrow! Sleep well, dear ones Love you all!
Merry Christmas!
Back from family celebrations and a trip to visit Rus and Rebecca. I will see you tomorrow.
Very tired. It has been a long Day.
Good...evening, morning, & late Christmas Greetings Day, Eagle Pals...
I see many reports of good, warm, Christmas day times...♥
I konked out Christmas Eve night at 9:30 and awakened at 0110 - I missed the Midnight Animal Talking Fest...but I went outside anyway at that time of 0110 and saw one shooting star, and heard a Canada Goose honking one in awhile.
James's Walking Stick Gifts for his father and his maternal grandmother were a Big Hit !
And I came home with a gift of several Corkscrew Willow sticks for future "projects"...
The evening and the entire day was glorious....many good and warm times with James's "Shepherdstown Family", his father, and some close friends of the family.....
and I had a couple of nice telephone conversations with Lynn ☺
We had a very late evening meal of Superbly prepared Prime Rib!
Been catching up on blog posts and some picture links...all lovely to behold.....
"Today" is Boxing Day, and the Feast of Saint Stephen...the very first Christian martyr....
I also watched the Disney parade and some Hallmark Shows....
And now it is surely time to dent some pillows, forget about the alarm clocks, and take the luxury of waking of when I wake up
I have many grateful thoughts and emotions for the events of the last 48 hours
Prayers for Wellness and more Christmas Blessings.... every day
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Good Morning everyone! I hope your Christmas was the merriest. I hate for it to all be over so soon, so I will pretend that today is just a continuation of this glorious holiday! I wish I could have checked in sooner, but this house, I'm at my parents, has been full since a few hours after I got here! Not now though!!! I have the ipad with me and I thought I had the issues solved to where I can see the nest, but I can't! URGH! But, I see we had a short fly in and out last night. YAY!

Hi JudyE! I can't see the nest, but I hope it's a great visit!
Hope you had a very nice Christmas with Jordyn, Angie and your family. :)
Oh, dang, I don't have the weather, sun times links with me. I'm so sorry.

Great job, on the nest report, JudyE!!! I could follow along and visualize the whole thing, Thank you!
Good Morning, Thelma and Buddy and the entire gang which I imagine, the critters anyhow, are up and running around by now. It's still pretty dark here in NW Pennsylvania.
visit over that was really odd went to poof and just back down in the same spot and then a POOF
So glad I got to see them since I won't be home to see them in the PM
Yesterday was nice but I was a little disappointed I was under the impression that we were having dinner at Angies but we went next door to the IL house Little bird iin nest
Put three pic in album
Thanks for the pictures, I'll have to check and see if I can get to those...
Sorry, Angie's IL's wasn't what you were expecting...sometimes it's just the surprise that throws us off. Still, I'm sorry it wasn't as great as you had hoped.
Big hugs, JudyE!

Thanks, Judy for the link - I loved the videos. I didn't think I was going to be able to see the eagles. I really appreciate it and the link. I've got my Ipad with me that I'm on and it's an entirely different animal than my laptop...but so great for traveling.
Good Morning, DanaMo!!! I hope you had a beautiful Christmas with your family, and that Monte got you something fantastic for his loving wife!
GOOD MORNING AND WE HAVE A NEW "HAPPY BOXING DAY" THREAD!
Good morning! Happy Boxing Day!
Slept in a bit....kind of a fitful night---wind howled badly which always unsettles me.
Glad JudyE saw our eagles!
GOod to see Lori, Shirley and Margy checking in---and hoping that Margy is STILL sleeping!!
Recharge those batteries, gal!
I must have typed comments last night, as I headed for bed, then forget to post them...or they are on the wrong thread somewhere. Not going to bother to look:)
Had a great time at GG's...a houseful at times, with visitors stopping by for a while.
I was able to talk GG into taking a nap as soon as we got there from church. Gave her a mid-day pain pill...when she woke up, she was in the best of moods!
The whole family came, including the elusive Jillian and her friend, Aaron. But, alas...I missed Jayden SO MUCH. He was with his Maternal family.
We had plenty food and gifts for everyone.
Forgot to mention that we had a beautiful church service to start the day. Beautiful acapella rendition of OH HOLLY NIGHT by a young church member and, a short and sweet sermon!
One more thing...My Karla is having a hysterectomy tomorrow, and although I know she will be just fine, I would love for her to have Momster's prayers follow her into surgy~
I give up...what is Boxing Day?
