Lynn, sounds like you got a plan...detailed, and thorough.... as Lori says and many others... We shall continue to love and pray you through this...
and Wanda... wow... SPONK...very detailed report on that...can't wait until you get that Knee Replaced...and how wonderful and comforting to know that Gene will be in charge of your care... Father Captain Warden Nurse Gene, that is...
Margy, you got the wax ! And, I must ditto your sentiments regarding our dear Linda as well as those regarding Andy's visit to the hospital open house. Impressed as always with the strong, beautiful people we have on this blog. Makes sense that people who care so much about eagles and wildlife in general are also among the finest people to be found any where.♥♥♥♥♥♥
Wanda, just heard from my friend who had the first of her knee replacements on Oct. 31st. It's gone so well she's having the second one replaced on Dec. 27th. Her hubby had his done about a year apart---he knew the ropes and has been an excellent nurse for her. Gene will be for you, too, I know !
Why do I have a variety of friends who are all so different in character? How can I get along with them all?
I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me.
With one of them I am polite. I joke with another friend. I sit down and talk about serious matters with one.
With another I laugh a lot.
I may have a drink with one. I listen to one friend's problems.
Then I listen to another one's advice for me. My friends are all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When completed, they form a treasure box. A treasure of friends!
They are my friends who understand me better than myself, who support me through good days and bad days. We all pray together and for each other. Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr.. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being.
Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes.. If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%.
I'm happy that I have a stock of Vitamin F!
In summary, we should value our friends and keep in touch with them.
We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together, and pray for each other in the tough moments.
Moon goes Full December 10 at 9:26 am Eastern Standard Time: Names: The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon – It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. Other names from other sources include: Oak Moon, and the Wolf Moon
I like it better when Megan tells us... Sure looks just about Full tonight, and is 100% beautiful !
Wow, Lynn, what a wonderful essay on Vitamin F ! I'm pleased to get more than the RDA of F between this blog and a nice accumulation of friends collected over many years. No way to overdose on Vitamin F !!!!
Well we were hopin' and a jumpin' and the last class is over...Now to saty away from over eating during the holidays and things will be fine...Dickens'Christmas Carol will be read in the Church on the 18th so I think I will go to that too...It is a fund raiser for the Chritmas Food Cupboard and a personality from CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation{it is our PBS type station}, is coming to Nelson to read it.Hard to say no when they are being so creative about fund raising.
LOLLY I just visited your house decoration pictures...What a terrific setting for a Christmas Party...I hope you are enjoying your friends and that the food turned out to your satisfaction...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND TO JACK.
HODA......if I was jumpin', I'd sure be hopin' that I didn't hurt myself!!!! Glad you had fun!! I don't think you can cram many more activities into your schedule, gal!
Good night, Birthday Girl. Sleep tight! Hope you did something special and fun today.
Jumpin' and hopin' makes me laugh which is really how I get my cardio work out LYNN...I try to live my life peacefully and we do shadow boxing when we jump and hop!!! SOOOOO FUNNY!!!!
I am about ready to go away from the computer to relax so I can get to sleep.
Goodnight and GOD BLESS everyone.
If ANDREA does not make it on here tonight I will set the security system so that all may sleep in wellness and comfort. I will turn the night light on so that anyone who wakes up may be guided and not stumble...May God's LIGHT guide us all.
♪♫♪ Turn out the lights, the party's over...♪♫♪ Said good night to Jo on fb. I finished cleaning up and sat down when she said gn. Have read the blog. Wanted to read about Lynn's appointment. We will certainly keep the prayers going, Lynn.
The party was a success. We had 19 women here. I had set tables for 22, so it worked out great! We had fun. Then when most had left I sat down and visited with three of my closest friends. Two are retired teachers and one is a still working, she is an elementary librarian. Carol and her husband have just returned from Honduras. They have been gone since Sept. One of their daughters lives down there. Brenda just returned yesterday from a trip to Tanzania and Rwanda. She has now traveled to 52 countries. Anyway, we had a lot to talk about!!
Jack holes up in the study. I took him a plate of food. Both Carol and Brenda went in and visited with him. He had his TV and the STARS were playing and he had his desk and the computer. He did fine.
No, I do not have the party every year. There are about 4 or 5 of us and we rotate the party. I was not even having it this year when the girl who was had an emergency surgery.
Good morning! So busy yesterday that I haven't even read this thread! Looks like I missed a nice evening visit yesterday! Oh well, the weekend is almost here - have a great day!
About Snowflakes...paper ones that is.... at work, we have nearly 100 swinging from the light fixtures at work....all made by our employees...it makes for a joyful workplace
Good morning everyone. I haven't read back, sorry BUT I did enjoy something this morning that I thought you all would enjoy over here. Conan Gaff funny
now I need to get ready to get Jordyn was sooooo chilly yesterday 41 when I got here no park in the am but in the after noon we went Hope to go this am maybe not so cold
Oh SHARON! That was awesome. I loved it...so professional. I loved the way it builds and feels like it's telling you a story, and the way Andrew wraps them up with his hands at the end. Very, very cool! Tell Andrew it was a job very well done!
Good Morning lucky Early Birds ! You got to see our eagles in all their glory--thanks to Judy for being there to record it for all of us ! Judy, a little FYI, it's flugg as in a typo for fluff. Sounds ever so much better than fugg. Slow down girl, we're not in a big rush here ! LOL Good to have you back. Adorable pic of Jordyn !
Sharon, your video is just great for a phone cam !! Loved the music selection---could envision the Cavelry coming over the hill. You are justfiably proud of Andrew. It was wonderful to hear what the fellow introducing him had to say !
Glo, funny Conan video. It's good to start the day off with a laugh !
Sandi, you have a great day, too.
Lori, DanaMo n' Margy, good seeing you Early Bird stalwarts on this beautiful Red Friday !
Hope I didn't miss anyone and do have a grand day y'all !
The fellow introducing Andrew is Scott Woodard, their band director. He is also who will be officiating at their wedding! :-) He is such a wonderful man and absolutely loves my boy!
There is a new lady who teaches piano at West Virginia State named Dr. Waltner. She says that Andrew and Kelsey are a powerhouse music ed couple who do not need big suits to show who they are. It is all in their hearts!
Morning all! Heavily frosted 23 ° here this AM. Brrrr.
Jo...DUH!!! Sorry! Oh, yeah, I created THOSE snowflakes!!!! My tree turned out nicely! Much easier than the real thing.
Hoda---glad you caught my subtlety!!!
Here's another one: Margy is playing the viola???? Didn't know she was a musical talent!! VOILA!! She surprises us all the time! Just kidding, sweet Margy! What is up with Diann????
Sure glad you enjoyed the concert, Shar, And Sissy went, too! Cool. Bet the kids did you proud!
Lolly, sounds like your dinner was a big success! Congrats!
That's as far as I've caught up yet......need to go get the papers, but don't WANT to.
Diann is okay, still in discomfort....one health condition sometimes hinges on others....which means more testing and waiting.... as you and many others here experience... Let's start looking toward 2012 for solutions and relief !! But keeping up with our prayers, forever and ever....
back to the other computers and monitors now...
Carolyn is doing all the work here, so....I'm on Easy Street !
Okay....so I go out and get the mail and papers......and in the mail is the RETURNED payment for my stoooopid speeding ticket. I put it in the box on Monday. Here it is Fri. It says RETURNED FOR POSTAGE......and you can plainly SEE that the stamp had been there.......so the PO's stupid machine tore it off, obviously. AND takes 5 days to return it????? It's due on the 14th--in Annapolis. So do I hike back out again or let it wait til tomorrow?? I have saved the other envelope and will protest to the PO. ARGH! I am livid.
A wonderful description of the Eagles visit. Thank you for reporting.
SHARON great conducting...WELL DONE ANDREW.
LOLLY I am glad the party went well and that Jack was also well entertained.
It is 18 degrees here this morning and the skies are clear...
I will go get my tea...
I am back... I am not so much busy for busy's sake. We have around 200 hampers to fill over this Christmas season...this is the fundraiser on the 18th for Dickens Christmas Carol. We have the Food Cupboard to support over the holidays and this is the concert on the 11th Winter Fest...We have the GRANS TO GRANS to support too and this is the fundraiser for the concert tonight, Christmas Carolling...after that things should calm down a bit...
The hampers include all the makings of a Christmas meal and presents for the Children in a family and a bit extra food to see them all for the Christmas holiay time...many meals so it is a bit expensive to prepare a hamper...
Officer Deriek Crouse was shot and killed while making a traffic stop in the parking lot of the university's Cassell Coliseum, near McComas Hall, at approximately 12:15 pm.
At some point during the stop, a suspect unrelated to the traffic stop approached his unmarked car and shot him once in the head as he sat in his vehicle. The suspect was located in the university's I-Lot approximately 45 minutes later and committed suicide as officers attempted to contact him.
Officer Crouse was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Virginia Tech Police Department for four years. He had previously served with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and New River Valley Regional Jail. He is survived by his wife, five children, mother, and brother.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN. I remember 30!!! WOW did I think I had it figured out by then...I had already immigrated to Canada and was working up North...PAULA how terrific to have a 30 year old...how old is your other son?
Oh we put organic free range turkeys in the hampers...they are delicious.
I couldn't hear what was being said about Andrew.... :( Had both volume controls all the way up. But the music is coming through fine! Beautiful, Shar. I know how proud you are!!!!
Looks like our eagles' routines are about as regular as ours! Sadly for me, their morning visit tends to be from about 7am til 7:20am. I leave the house at 7 and get to school about 7:18, but always have things to do as soon as I get to school so I'm unable to log onto the computer as soon as I get in. Consequently, I miss their whole morning visit on school days! =( Oh well, tomorrow starts the weekend!
Had some human error with the internet. It is fixed now. There's nothing like having trouble with the internet connection to feel like I need to get Your Internet Connection book for Dummies. : )
SHARON...I loved watching and listening to Andrew and Kelsey. Hearing their voices was such a treat, to know how they sound...Andrew has such a nice, deep voice. Two talented and classy younguns'! Thanks for taking the time to share~
"This content is currently unavailable.The page you requested cannot be displayed at the moment. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page. ■Return home."
This is the message I get when I try to watch the Kelsey link...
OK you were right SHARON...it worked after BEV accepted my friends request. Thanks for suggesting it.WONDERFUL. Both very talented and very confident. They seem to be in their own natural environment, it is where they belong, conducting comes natural to them.
Sorry, my delete. I thought Thelma posted new thread...then I went to go over there and there isn't one. Yesterday I missed the new thread announcement and sat all day on the old thread...duh. Guess, I'm being over-cautious today.
Kelsey did an excellent job, too, Shar!!! I surely pray that their aspirations for the future are successful....and that they AREN'T leading symphonies in far-apart cities!!!!!
I am going back to bed. Another ARGH!!!!! Had a note on porch rail asking that package delivery be put by basement door. Apparently UPS guy can't read. The food came....a huge box now sitting on the front porch. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. So guess I'll unload the box on the porch and then carry it bit by bit down to the freezer.
Going to stop grousing and disappear. Later, gators.
Lori: backtracking a day or two on posts... loved the comment you posted about your father saying... about your pets being perfect and what if you had had children ?? I'm paraphrasing, but I loved the way you worded it !!
Such beautiful pictures and videos from JudyE. Thank you for sharing on this blog JudyE.
Glo came in with a good one for the morning to make one smile. (:
Kelsey's directing was beautiful she will make an excellent music teacher.
Andrew's was exciting and kept me wanting more. Sharon tell him it was just awesome!!! Thank you for putting both on here so that everyone can see both their talents.
Hoda you are a very busy lady.
Lynn prayers will continue and love will surround you. Loved the F - for friends. It was very touching. Without you all and other friends my world would be nothing. HUGS to all.
Yuh, Carol and I had worked our way through the posts independent of each other, read about the UPS delivery, I said something to her about it, she said, yeah.. then we both clickety-clacked away and you see what we did... ☺
Got the box un packed. Lots of interesting things.....10 meal trays....all sound okay....guess the test will be in the taste! 10 slices of bread. 10 little margerines. 6 small juice containers. Graham crackers, snack bars, a pack of cookies, raisins, granola bar, 2 pouches of powdered milk. Hey, it was "free" so it's all good, right?!
And another Momster surprise!!! Dear Kay sent me a tin of BERGER COOKIES!!!! How about that???? Can't wait ti dig into them, but maybe should save for Christmas!!!! Thank you, Kay darlin'!
Lynn, I could be there in about 2 or 2 1/2 days to help! LOL
GOOD MORNING EAGLE PALS!
Got my first chuckle of the day reading Margy and Jewel's posts.
Not feeling the best in the world this morning. I started getting a cough last night. Sure enough..coughed quite a bit during the night. I do NOT NOT NOT want to get another bug!!! Good grief...third time this season! What gives?????
Oh My - Good Morning - I was here some time ago but then I listened to Andrew, Kelsey and Glo's post which was funny as the eagle was being interviewed. Andrew and Kelsey's performances were excellent - quite a future for both of them (together)
Lynn, I was wondering what kind of food they would be delivering. When on the Nutri System diet had food delievered. Not the best in the world, but not bad either. It is nice not to have to cook too. Just heat! Of course, mine was not free. That is a good deal!
Speaking of daughters,forgot to tell y'all that I found out last night when Bill called that his oldest daughter wrecked on black ice yesterday morning. He thinks she totalled her SUV....she was taken to hospital but released as all x-rays were okay. Bet she is sore today, tho;. Poor Crystal.
Joseph loves his elementary music teachers. His choir teacher loves him! He is in honors choir this year. He was sick and could not try out. Teacher said, "no problem, he is in"!!!
Now he loves orchestra but at this time wants to switch to band next year. Time will tell, but in the end I think sports will win out. Wish he had time for piano lessons. They have our piano and we would pay for the lessons but...no time.
Lolly, LOL---don't know if dry ice would last that long! Sweet thought! Sure hope you get to feeling better fast. Could this be allergies???? Try an antihistamine and see if it helps!
I am at sixes and sevens....don't know what to do "next." Too bright to justly do tree lights. Clouds are supposed to roll in this afternoon. Guess I'll do some kitchen clean-up and fill out all the paperwork for the radiation. Need to climb back into the corner behind the TV and dust those shelves, too, so I can finish decorating in that area.
LYNN, that is an awesome Insurance that you have. I have HUMANA, but, I guess just the bare minimum. I read my booklet and I have nothing like that. Upon reading, I can't even find an offer for supplemental coverage. How did you get yours...send me an email when you have time, please~
Roads were fine here for folks driving home. However, I had to ask that everyone park on the drive, not on the grass. It is still too wet. Felt sorry they had to back down the long drive to leave. Jack did go out and turn Carol's car around for her.
Lolly, the meals are not much more quantity wise than the diet meals! All have yucky veggies...one even has brussel sprouts and one asparagrass---which will probably ruin the taste of it all. I will try to remove those before I heat them! UGH! Beef pattie with gravy and whipped pots, sausage pizza, breaded veal w/ sweet pots, parmesan chicken with whipped, protein chimichanga w/ chili sauce, pork pattie with sweet pot casserole, grilled chicken breast with rice, meatballs amd shell pasta w/ alfredo sauce, beef stew, cheese lasagna with zucchini.
It is nice to know my house is all clean and decorated. Can go to Sharon's this weekend without worrying about getting things done. Though I have not even thought about Christmas cards at this point! Yikes!
Lynn, most of my food was not frozen but what was frozen was delivered by another source...Schwans!
Oh, I keep forgetting to tell you. I have a tab to click on to get the cam up. The tab says "Belle and Lib". Have not decided whether to change it or not. Hmmm?????
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINDI! Hope it's a very special day for you!
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAULA'S SON JOHN!
Welcome back, JudyE! Good to see you here again!
Hi, Glo! I've missed you! Great to see you here, too! Love the Conan video--ROFLMBO!
Sharon, love the video of Andrew! Beautiful! No wonder you are so proud of him! Great job, Andrew!
Lynn, Prayed nonstop for you yesterday, as always. Glad your treatment is being so carefully determined. Prayers bombarding Heaven for you! Love your positive attitude, and your spunk!--Love you!
Lolly, praying that you'll get rid of the cough, pronto!
Yikes! Prayers for Crystal! Sorry to hear that her SUV might be totalled, but VERY glad that she ISN'T! Aargh--black ice is miserable, doggone it!
Many thanks to those who had such kind words regarding our visit to Children's Hospital Los Angeles yesterday! They gave us, and a few other folks, a wonderful tour of the new facilities! Here are a few fast facts:
CHLA was founded in 1901, and is the first pediatric hospital in So. Calif.
They admit 11,000 inpatients per year.
There are 300,000 outpatient visits per year.
They treat more than 97,000 individual patients.
There are 66,000 Emergency Dept. visits per year.
They have 4,200 employees, and a medical staff of about 600.
They have one of the largest pediatric transport programs in the nation, transferring 2,000 patients by helicopter, Learjet, and ambulance each year.
There are 317 licensed beds in the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion.
85% of patient rooms are private.
Oh--and the ages of patients treated ranges from newborn to people in their mid-twenties (The older patients have usually been treated there from childhood, and are still there because their doctors understand their cases so well.)
When I hear the words "Black Ice" I just go spinning in circles! I really did just that many years ago and I will never forget the experience! Thankful Crystal is just sore a little - never mind the car!
Good thing that I got the box unpacked when I did. One dry ice packet was MT, and the other was torn with very little left in it! Got the box and cooler thing downstairs and stored temporarily. Now have two good sturdy boxes to replace some ancient decoration boxes with! And two of those styrofoam things which will be good to take to the beach house for Frank's bait and such....if we decide to go through with that. Pending.......more discussion.
It is the only freestanding Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in L.A. County approved by the County Dept. of Health Services, and accredited by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons.
It's one of the country's premier teaching hospitals, affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California since 1932.
CHLA is one of only 11 children's hospitals in the USA good enough to be ranked "Best" on the prestigious U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT Honor Roll.
One of only 7 children's hospitals to be designated a Top Hospital for 2010 by The Leapfrog Group, and the only one located in the western U.S.
Designated as a Magnet Hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center--an honor held by only 5% of hospitals nationwide.
Surgeons at CHLA perform 15,500 pediatric surgeries per year--more complex procedures than any other hospital in Southern California.
The Saban Research Institute of CHLA is among the largest and most productive pediatric research centers in the western U.S.
Don't work too hard LYNN...you have already done a lot with taking care of that box. I read about dusting and putting up decorations...oe step at a time...Is LIESL standing near the heat source today???I thought it was so cute that she discovered it...
Wanda, you have email. No long handled swiffer, just the lambs wool thingy....but can't dare try using it on the shelves---too many fragile antiques. Only thing I have to climb on is the hearth. Original owners had the wood stove in the LR.....they built this huge round hearth---about 8'----maybe 1 ft. high. Stove there did NOTHING to heat the basement....so I put it downstairs and have the TV "stand" on the hearth. I put in simple (cinder blocks and shelves) shelving back there for some of my MANY books and what-nots. Very tight quarters, especially having to deal with all entertainment system wires and cords!! You really need to come see my house sometime during the holidays!!
Well, gang, I have some stuff to get done around here before going grossery shopping for the week. I've taken up enough blog space here, anyway. I will check back in later, after the chores & shopping are done. Have a great Red Friday, everyone! :o]

Good night, Lori. Hope your day off was very fruitful....and three more to go! Good on you!
Lynn,
sounds like you got a plan...detailed, and thorough....
as Lori says and many others...
We shall continue to love and pray you through this...
and Wanda... wow... SPONK...very detailed report on that...can't wait until you get that Knee Replaced...and how wonderful and comforting to know that Gene will be in charge of your care...
Father Captain Warden Nurse Gene, that is...
Sounds like a Great Nest Visit tonight,
good reporting on the Nestcapades !
sorry I missed it, but now we can check out JudyE's videos again,
Yippee...
Welcome Back JudyE !!
Margy, you got the wax ! And, I must ditto your sentiments regarding our dear Linda as well as those regarding Andy's visit to the hospital open house. Impressed as always with the strong, beautiful people we have on this blog. Makes sense that people who care so much about eagles and wildlife in general are also among the finest people to be found any where.♥♥♥♥♥♥
Wanda, just heard from my friend who had the first of her knee replacements on Oct. 31st. It's gone so well she's having the second one replaced on Dec. 27th. Her hubby had his done about a year apart---he knew the ropes and has been an excellent nurse for her. Gene will be for you, too, I know !
Even after being crated for 4 hrs., Liesl is already making bedtime noises.....think she will have to suck it up for a little longer!!
Kay, you said it perfectly about our group!!!!
Just got this from a friend. How appropos!!
VITAMIN F
Why do I have a variety of friends who are all so different in character?
How can I get along with them all?
I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me.
With one of them I am polite.
I joke with another friend.
I sit down and talk about serious matters with one.
With another I laugh a lot.
I may have a drink with one.
I listen to one friend's problems.
Then I listen to another one's advice for me.
My friends are all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
When completed, they form a treasure box.
A treasure of friends!
They are my friends who understand me better than myself, who support me through good days and bad days. We all pray together and for each other.
Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr.. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being.
Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes.. If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%.
I'm happy that I have a stock of Vitamin F!
In summary, we should value our friends and keep in touch with them.
We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together, and pray for each other in the tough moments.
Thank you for being one of my Vitamins!

Well we were hopin' and a jumpin' and the last class is over...Now to saty away from over eating during the holidays and things will be fine...Dickens'Christmas Carol will be read in the Church on the 18th so I think I will go to that too...It is a fund raiser for the Chritmas Food Cupboard and a personality from CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation{it is our PBS type station}, is coming to Nelson to read it.Hard to say no when they are being so creative about fund raising.
I love the Vitamin F writing LYNN...indeed true of our blog. Thank you for posting it.

GOOD NIGHT MY DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS AND LOVE FOR ALL♥
I am about ready to go away from the computer to relax so I can get to sleep.
Goodnight and GOD BLESS everyone.
If ANDREA does not make it on here tonight I will set the security system so that all may sleep in wellness and comfort. I will turn the night light on so that anyone who wakes up may be guided and not stumble...May God's LIGHT guide us all.
Good evening my friends. The concert was awesome. I am trying to upload the videos of Andrew and Kelsey conducting to Facebook.
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur. I love you all!
♪♫♪ Turn out the lights, the party's over...♪♫♪ Said good night to Jo on fb. I finished cleaning up and sat down when she said gn. Have read the blog. Wanted to read about Lynn's appointment. We will certainly keep the prayers going, Lynn.
The party was a success. We had 19 women here. I had set tables for 22, so it worked out great! We had fun. Then when most had left I sat down and visited with three of my closest friends. Two are retired teachers and one is a still working, she is an elementary librarian. Carol and her husband have just returned from Honduras. They have been gone since Sept. One of their daughters lives down there. Brenda just returned yesterday from a trip to Tanzania and Rwanda. She has now traveled to 52 countries. Anyway, we had a lot to talk about!!
Jack holes up in the study. I took him a plate of food. Both Carol and Brenda went in and visited with him. He had his TV and the STARS were playing and he had his desk and the computer. He did fine.
No, I do not have the party every year. There are about 4 or 5 of us and we rotate the party. I was not even having it this year when the girl who was had an emergency surgery.
I am going to head to the shower. I am thinking pj's would be feeling good about now.
Going to have sorta leisure morning and then do some shopping tomorrow. I have stocking stuff to get but have about finished up.
Night all! Sweet dreams!
Good morning! So busy yesterday that I haven't even read this thread! Looks like I missed a nice evening visit yesterday! Oh well, the weekend is almost here - have a great day!
I slept in until 6 - whoa!
Good Morning Sandi!

JudyE, thanks for all the beautiful pictures. Sunset is gorgeous!
Nope I slept til 6 too!

Here is the link to Andrew's conducting last night. Video was taken on my phone so not the best quality but still. . . :-)
Andrew Wayne Crisco II, Guest Conductor
Oh SHARON! That was awesome. I loved it...so professional. I loved the way it builds and feels like it's telling you a story, and the way Andrew wraps them up with his hands at the end. Very, very cool! Tell Andrew it was a job very well done!
Good Morning lucky Early Birds ! You got to see our eagles in all their glory--thanks to Judy for being there to record it for all of us ! Judy, a little FYI, it's flugg as in a typo for fluff. Sounds ever so much better than fugg. Slow down girl, we're not in a big rush here ! LOL Good to have you back. Adorable pic of Jordyn !
Sharon, your video is just great for a phone cam !! Loved the music selection---could envision the Cavelry coming over the hill. You are justfiably proud of Andrew. It was wonderful to hear what the fellow introducing him had to say !
Glo, funny Conan video. It's good to start the day off with a laugh !
Sandi, you have a great day, too.
Lori, DanaMo n' Margy, good seeing you Early Bird stalwarts on this beautiful Red Friday !
Hope I didn't miss anyone and do have a grand day y'all !
Shirley, I did miss you ! See you did a quick sneak in and helped with the commentary on visit by Belle n' Shep ! What did you do for your birthday ?
And, speaking of birthdays, I see we a celebrant today, too !
Happy Birthday to Cindi ♥ Check in and let us know how you're celebrating in Hampshire County !
The fellow introducing Andrew is Scott Woodard, their band director. He is also who will be officiating at their wedding! :-) He is such a wonderful man and absolutely loves my boy!
There is a new lady who teaches piano at West Virginia State named Dr. Waltner. She says that Andrew and Kelsey are a powerhouse music ed couple who do not need big suits to show who they are. It is all in their hearts!
So glad Andrew and Kelsey found each other there. They will make beautiful music together !
Off to read newspapers and get ready for cat scan. HAGD BBL
Morning all! Heavily frosted 23 ° here this AM. Brrrr.
Jo...DUH!!! Sorry! Oh, yeah, I created THOSE snowflakes!!!! My tree turned out nicely! Much easier than the real thing.
Hoda---glad you caught my subtlety!!!
Here's another one: Margy is playing the viola????
Didn't know she was a musical talent!! VOILA!! She surprises us all the time! Just kidding, sweet Margy!
What is up with Diann????
Sure glad you enjoyed the concert, Shar, And Sissy went, too! Cool. Bet the kids did you proud!
Lolly, sounds like your dinner was a big success! Congrats!
That's as far as I've caught up yet......need to go get the papers, but don't WANT to.
I'm sure she won't see it since she never comes here, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINDI!!!!
Hello again Eagle Pals...
Oh yes, but we can Clobber Cindi with email Birthday Greetings!
Thanks again to Jo for keeping us all tuned in to Birthdays !
xo ☺ ♥
sure did misspell Voila, Lynn...
good catch...
Wow, what a spectacular report from Sharon about Andrew, and Kelsey...
can't open the video from work, but will do that at home !
Happy birthday, Cindi!
Hi, Kay. I had a very quiet birthday. Went to the bowling alley in the morning. Thanks for asking.
Good morning, Margy and Lynn.
Lynn...
Diann is okay, still in discomfort....one health condition sometimes hinges on others....which means more testing and waiting....
as you and many others here experience...
Let's start looking toward 2012 for solutions and relief !!
But keeping up with our prayers, forever and ever....
back to the other computers and monitors now...
Carolyn is doing all the work here, so....I'm on Easy Street !
ttfn xo ♥
Did you see Mr. Wink-Wink at the Bowling Alley, Shirley ?? ☺
Yes, SHIRLEY, do tell about the Winker Dude!
Okay....so I go out and get the mail and papers......and in the mail is the RETURNED payment for my stoooopid speeding ticket. I put it in the box on Monday. Here it is Fri. It says RETURNED FOR POSTAGE......and you can plainly SEE that the stamp had been there.......so the PO's stupid machine tore it off, obviously. AND takes 5 days to return it?????
It's due on the 14th--in Annapolis. So do I hike back out again or let it wait til tomorrow?? I have saved the other envelope and will protest to the PO. ARGH! I am livid.
morning, all!
Glad to hear there was a visit this morning!
Happy Birthday to my son John who turns...30 today!
Well... Happy 30th Birthday to John, and Happy 30 years of being a Mom, Paula xoxo
Hope all the turning-30 things you were working on for this birthday...are a Hit
Hedgie:
WOOF ON THE BOTCHED ENVELOPE !!
(((Big Hug))) LYNN.
It goes fast, huh Paula!
Good morning all...
A wonderful description of the Eagles visit. Thank you for reporting.
SHARON great conducting...WELL DONE ANDREW.
LOLLY I am glad the party went well and that Jack was also well entertained.
It is 18 degrees here this morning and the skies are clear...
I will go get my tea...
I am back... I am not so much busy for busy's sake. We have around 200 hampers to fill over this Christmas season...this is the fundraiser on the 18th for Dickens Christmas Carol.
We have the Food Cupboard to support over the holidays and this is the concert on the 11th Winter Fest...We have the GRANS TO GRANS to support too and this is the fundraiser for the concert tonight, Christmas Carolling...after that things should calm down a bit...
The hampers include all the makings of a Christmas meal and presents for the Children in a family and a bit extra food to see them all for the Christmas holiay time...many meals so it is a bit expensive to prepare a hamper...
Officer Deriek Crouse was shot and killed while making a traffic stop in the parking lot of the university's Cassell Coliseum, near McComas Hall, at approximately 12:15 pm.
At some point during the stop, a suspect unrelated to the traffic stop approached his unmarked car and shot him once in the head as he sat in his vehicle. The suspect was located in the university's I-Lot approximately 45 minutes later and committed suicide as officers attempted to contact him.
Officer Crouse was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Virginia Tech Police Department for four years. He had previously served with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and New River Valley Regional Jail. He is survived by his wife, five children, mother, and brother.

Party for John is tomorrow night...should be fun!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN. I remember 30!!! WOW did I think I had it figured out by then...I had already immigrated to Canada and was working up North...PAULA how terrific to have a 30 year old...how old is your other son?
Oh we put organic free range turkeys in the hampers...they are delicious.
SHARON so sad and sucha waste about the officer. God Keep his soul...God forgive the shooter too...such a tragedy.
Kelsey in the first part
Shirley, hope you had fun at the bowling alley yesterday. Are the kids celebrating your b-day over the weekend?
Hoda, such labors of love you are involved in. Thanks for all you do!
A great thing was also in my mailbox this morning.....Jo sent me a cuter than cute hedgehog tree ornament!!!! She is so sweet.
And out Charleston Susan sent me a Cape Hatteras coaster for the truck! You all surely spoil me!
Margy----I KNOW that Caro isn't doing all the work! I hear other voices, LOL!
Shar...so tragic at VT....just thankful that the perp did not cause more pain and suffering than he did.
Kay, hope the scan is quick and the good report even quicker!
Happy birthday to Paula's son.....and today is also Ceil's son's b-day---he's 47!
I couldn't hear what was being said about Andrew.... :( Had both volume controls all the way up. But the music is coming through fine! Beautiful, Shar. I know how proud you are!!!!
Looks like our eagles' routines are about as regular as ours! Sadly for me, their morning visit tends to be from about 7am til 7:20am. I leave the house at 7 and get to school about 7:18, but always have things to do as soon as I get to school so I'm unable to log onto the computer as soon as I get in. Consequently, I miss their whole morning visit on school days! =( Oh well, tomorrow starts the weekend!
Had some human error with the internet. It is fixed now. There's nothing like having trouble with the internet connection to feel like I need to get Your Internet Connection book for Dummies. : )
SHARON, I can not open KELSEY'S link...facebook page tells me it is not available right now.
New thread everyone.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
SHARON...I loved watching and listening to Andrew and Kelsey. Hearing their voices was such a treat, to know how they sound...Andrew has such a nice, deep voice. Two talented and classy younguns'! Thanks for taking the time to share~
Nope-I was mistaken. : )
LOL, Thelma, get a cup of coffee♥
HODA, could be that so many of us were watching the video at the same time??
OK I will try again WANDA. THANKS.
Hoda, can you see it now? She friended you.
"This content is currently unavailable.The page you requested cannot be displayed at the moment. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.
■Return home."
This is the message I get when I try to watch the Kelsey link...
You and Sissy weren't Facebook friends.
OK you were right SHARON...it worked after BEV accepted my friends request. Thanks for suggesting it.WONDERFUL. Both very talented and very confident. They seem to be in their own natural environment, it is where they belong, conducting comes natural to them.
Sorry, my delete. I thought Thelma posted new thread...then I went to go over there and there isn't one.
Yesterday I missed the new thread announcement and sat all day on the old thread...duh. Guess, I'm being over-cautious today.
Lori, are you hallucinating? I don't see a new thread.
Good suggestion Wanda. : )
Kelsey did an excellent job, too, Shar!!!
I surely pray that their aspirations for the future are successful....and that they AREN'T leading symphonies in far-apart cities!!!!!
Kelsey wants to teach music at the elementary school level.
I am going back to bed. Another ARGH!!!!! Had a note on porch rail asking that package delivery be put by basement door. Apparently UPS guy can't read. The food came....a huge box now sitting on the front porch. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
So guess I'll unload the box on the porch and then carry it bit by bit down to the freezer.
Going to stop grousing and disappear. Later, gators.
Sorry to cause you to hallucinate Lori. LOL
OH LYNN so sorry that is two things already this morning...ANNOYING!!!
No, I'm just slow. Missed the post where T-Bird said she was mistaken. Sorry.
Hey, these are free halucinations, so no big! LOL... or cyber halucinations, free of charge.
HEDGIE:
COLD ENOUGH OUTSIDE, CAN YOU LEAVE IT OUTSIDE....I CAN COME AFTER WORK AND HELP TAKE IT TO BASEMENT ???
Ugh mom, you want, I can slip out after work and take care of it... you think it will be ok if temps go up??
Okay you all
get a few LOL's out of those last two posts...
GREAT MINDS think alike alike ???
LOL I love my Co-worker!!!
We do think the same!
alike alike??
huh ????
oh why not !
Lori:
backtracking a day or two on posts...
loved the comment you posted about your father saying...
about your pets being perfect
and what if you had had children ??
I'm paraphrasing, but I loved the way you worded it !!
Good Morning to Everyone (:
Such beautiful pictures and videos from JudyE. Thank you for sharing on this blog JudyE.
Glo came in with a good one for the morning to make one smile. (:
Kelsey's directing was beautiful she will make an excellent music teacher.
Andrew's was exciting and kept me wanting more. Sharon tell him it was just awesome!!! Thank you for putting both on here so that everyone can see both their talents.
Hoda you are a very busy lady.
Lynn prayers will continue and love will surround you. Loved the F - for friends. It was very touching. Without you all and other friends my world would be nothing. HUGS to all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CINDI HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!
Hedgie, I could be there in about 5 1/2 hours! :-)
I see no answer to Caroly or Sharon so I am wondering if Lynn is already unloading the food package.
LYNN, invite the neighbors and have a 'COOK OUT':)
Yuh, Carol and I had worked our way through the posts independent of each other, read about the UPS delivery, I said something to her about it, she said, yeah..
then we both clickety-clacked away and you see what we did...
☺
Got the box un packed. Lots of interesting things.....10 meal trays....all sound okay....guess the test will be in the taste! 10 slices of bread. 10 little margerines. 6 small juice containers. Graham crackers, snack bars, a pack of cookies, raisins, granola bar, 2 pouches of powdered milk. Hey, it was "free" so it's all good, right?!
And another Momster surprise!!! Dear Kay sent me a tin of BERGER COOKIES!!!! How about that???? Can't wait ti dig into them, but maybe should save for Christmas!!!!
Thank you, Kay darlin'!
Good Morning Again, More
Eagle Pals, and So Long Again
Sharon if you come by: you can park at my Roost and listen to all the choo-choos that roar through half a mile away ☺
ttfn xo ♥
Lynn, I could be there in about 2 or 2 1/2 days to help! LOL
GOOD MORNING EAGLE PALS!
Got my first chuckle of the day reading Margy and Jewel's posts.
Not feeling the best in the world this morning. I started getting a cough last night. Sure enough..coughed quite a bit during the night. I do NOT NOT NOT want to get another bug!!! Good grief...third time this season! What gives?????
Thank you for generous offers to help! You are all so sweet.
I got 'er done!
I was really freakin' when I couldn't find Thelma's new thread!!! ROFL!
DanaWV---echoing your sentiment about these fine fowl friends---of course, we DO have our daughters!!!
Shar----Kelsey will do well teaching!
Oh My - Good Morning - I was here some
time ago but then I listened to Andrew, Kelsey and Glo's post which was funny
as the eagle was being interviewed.
Andrew and Kelsey's performances were
excellent - quite a future for both of
them (together)
Lynn, I was wondering what kind of food they would be delivering. When on the Nutri System diet had food delievered. Not the best in the world, but not bad either. It is nice not to have to cook too. Just heat! Of course, mine was not free. That is a good deal!
Speaking of daughters,forgot to tell y'all that I found out last night when Bill called that his oldest daughter wrecked on black ice yesterday morning. He thinks she totalled her SUV....she was taken to hospital but released as all x-rays were okay. Bet she is sore today, tho;. Poor Crystal.
Joseph loves his elementary music teachers. His choir teacher loves him! He is in honors choir this year. He was sick and could not try out. Teacher said, "no problem, he is in"!!!
Now he loves orchestra but at this time wants to switch to band next year. Time will tell, but in the end I think sports will win out. Wish he had time for piano lessons. They have our piano and we would pay for the lessons but...no time.
It's my private thread Hedgie. LOL
Lolly, LOL---don't know if dry ice would last that long! Sweet thought! Sure hope you get to feeling better fast. Could this be allergies???? Try an antihistamine and see if it helps!
I am at sixes and sevens....don't know what to do "next." Too bright to justly do tree lights. Clouds are supposed to roll in this afternoon. Guess I'll do some kitchen clean-up and fill out all the paperwork for the radiation.
Need to climb back into the corner behind the TV and dust those shelves, too, so I can finish decorating in that area.
LYNN, that is an awesome Insurance that you have. I have HUMANA, but, I guess just the bare minimum. I read my booklet and I have nothing like that. Upon reading, I can't even find an offer for supplemental coverage. How did you get yours...send me an email when you have time, please~
Glad she is okay, Lynn. That is scary!
Roads were fine here for folks driving home. However, I had to ask that everyone park on the drive, not on the grass. It is still too wet. Felt sorry they had to back down the long drive to leave. Jack did go out and turn Carol's car around for her.
Lynn, guess you had your unplanned workout for the day! And some vitamin F!
Lolly, sounds like a great party. Your hard work pays off! Sorry about that darn cough bug! BOOO HISSS!
Lynn, do you have a long-handled SWIFFER? Works for me in areas like that. No climbing for you or me, for that matter!
LOL Thelma! So, you just have your old private thread! La Te Da! Talking to yourself?!!!!☺
Lolly, the meals are not much more quantity wise than the diet meals! All have yucky veggies...one even has brussel sprouts and one asparagrass---which will probably ruin the taste of it all. I will try to remove those before I heat them! UGH!
Beef pattie with gravy and whipped pots, sausage pizza, breaded veal w/ sweet pots, parmesan chicken with whipped, protein chimichanga w/ chili sauce, pork pattie with sweet pot casserole, grilled chicken breast with rice, meatballs amd shell pasta w/ alfredo sauce, beef stew, cheese lasagna with zucchini.
It is nice to know my house is all clean and decorated. Can go to Sharon's this weekend without worrying about getting things done. Though I have not even thought about Christmas cards at this point! Yikes!
Lynn, most of my food was not frozen but what was frozen was delivered by another source...Schwans!
Need to call Sharon, eat some breakfast and get a move on, but it is oh, so nice to just sit!
Oh, I keep forgetting to tell you. I have a tab to click on to get the cam up. The tab says "Belle and Lib". Have not decided whether to change it or not. Hmmm?????
Later...Gators!! Have a great day!
They do sound like nice meals...Yes you can remove the items before fixing that you don't like. That is what is so neat about those meals Lynn.
Ok I am going in to check on Mother. bbl
Good Morning, Everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINDI! Hope it's a very special day for you!
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAULA'S SON JOHN!
Welcome back, JudyE! Good to see you here again!
Hi, Glo! I've missed you! Great to see you here, too! Love the Conan video--ROFLMBO!
Sharon, love the video of Andrew!
Beautiful! No wonder you are so proud of him! Great job, Andrew!
Lynn,
Prayed nonstop for you yesterday, as always. Glad your treatment is being so carefully determined. Prayers bombarding Heaven for you! Love your positive attitude, and your spunk!--Love you!
Lolly, praying that you'll get rid of the cough, pronto!
Yikes! Prayers for Crystal! Sorry to hear that her SUV might be totalled, but VERY glad that she ISN'T! Aargh--black ice is miserable, doggone it!
Many thanks to those who had such kind words regarding our visit to Children's Hospital Los Angeles yesterday! They gave us, and a few other folks, a wonderful tour of the new facilities! Here are a few fast facts:
CHLA was founded in 1901, and is the first pediatric hospital in So. Calif.
They admit 11,000 inpatients per year.
There are 300,000 outpatient visits per year.
They treat more than 97,000 individual patients.
There are 66,000 Emergency Dept. visits per year.
They have 4,200 employees, and a medical staff of about 600.
They have one of the largest pediatric transport programs in the nation, transferring 2,000 patients by helicopter, Learjet, and ambulance each year.
There are 317 licensed beds in the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion.
85% of patient rooms are private.
Oh--and the ages of patients treated ranges from newborn to people in their mid-twenties (The older patients have usually been treated there from childhood, and are still there because their doctors understand their cases so well.)
♪♪♫♪♪ Happy birthday Cindi - Wishing you a special day and a great year ahead
John - 30 is great and you have done a lot for your years like a beautiful wife and 3 adorable children. Life is good to you
Happy Birthday on your 47th year James - Ceil I'm sure you will celebrate that blessed event of 47 years ago!
When I hear the words "Black Ice" I just
go spinning in circles! I really did just that many years ago and I will
never forget the experience! Thankful
Crystal is just sore a little - never mind the car!
Good thing that I got the box unpacked when I did. One dry ice packet was MT, and the other was torn with very little left in it! Got the box and cooler thing downstairs and stored temporarily. Now have two good sturdy boxes to replace some ancient decoration boxes with!
And two of those styrofoam things which will be good to take to the beach house for Frank's bait and such....if we decide to go through with that. Pending.......more discussion.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles at a Glance:
It is the only freestanding Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in L.A. County approved by the County Dept. of Health Services, and accredited by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons.
It's one of the country's premier teaching hospitals, affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California since 1932.
CHLA is one of only 11 children's hospitals in the USA good enough to be ranked "Best" on the prestigious U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT Honor Roll.
One of only 7 children's hospitals to be designated a Top Hospital for 2010 by The Leapfrog Group, and the only one located in the western U.S.
Designated as a Magnet Hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center--an honor held by only 5% of hospitals nationwide.
Surgeons at CHLA perform 15,500 pediatric surgeries per year--more complex procedures than any other hospital in Southern California.
The Saban Research Institute of CHLA is among the largest and most productive pediatric research centers in the western U.S.
Don't work too hard LYNN...you have already done a lot with taking care of that box. I read about dusting and putting up decorations...oe step at a time...Is LIESL standing near the heat source today???I thought it was so cute that she discovered it...
Doing laundry and wtching the frost NOT melt on the car...soem serious scrapping is going to have to happen.
Wanda, you have email.
No long handled swiffer, just the lambs wool thingy....but can't dare try using it on the shelves---too many fragile antiques. Only thing I have to climb on is the hearth. Original owners had the wood stove in the LR.....they built this huge round hearth---about 8'----maybe 1 ft. high. Stove there did NOTHING to heat the basement....so I put it downstairs and have the TV "stand" on the hearth. I put in simple (cinder blocks and shelves) shelving back there for some of my MANY books and what-nots. Very tight quarters, especially having to deal with all entertainment system wires and cords!! You really need to come see my house sometime during the holidays!!
Well, gang, I have some stuff to get done around here before going grossery shopping for the week. I've taken up enough blog space here, anyway. I will check back in later, after the chores & shopping are done. Have a great Red Friday, everyone! :o]
You split and I missed it.........
