Lynn: Holiday party is rescheduled for January 4 AND, Carolyn and I are on dayshift together for at least another month - January.... How Cool is That!
Margy, so far so good with the nausea....but only ate a cinnamon roll tonight. Didn't want to tempt things. Good that you and Caro will have longer together on shift.
Hey, Crunch Bob! How's everything in your part of PA? Merry Christmas to you and Doris, too!
Hoda, will try to listen to your piece tomorrow nigth after everyone is gone. Thanks in advance.
Goodnight to all turning in. I will not be far behind. Temp is 39° and I felt something spitting....no moon or stars to see.
Time to wind down here. Hunter will go to be with his dad tomorrow and will be here tomorrow evening and Sunday. We'll spend Christmas morning here and then go to spend the afternoon with Rus and Rebecca and Rebecca's mother and brother.
We have baked 2 batches of cookies, and have the 2 others prepped to bake for tomorrow. Michael and I have had a grand time...Chinese food was good too!
Sounds GREAT PAULA...do you opoen presents Christmas eve or Christmas day? In my American family it was always Christmas eve which was also MOM and Dad's Anniversay... GREAT FUN...
Hoda, we open presents on Christmas day...when I was younger we used to open just 1 on Christmas eve...then 2...then we just did the whole thing on Christmas eve as we got older.
But I do Christmas day with the kids, as that is when I generally see them at Christmas time.
Time to say Goodnight. Gang got home about 9:30 from Zoofest w/about 120 pics & videos. Wish I was there, but the suggestion for that (me going down to meet them) over the phone to the Other person who answered was not relayed!!! Coal in the stocking! Took pic of the "Charlie Brown" tree! Hope to put stuff on soon ☺.
Pleasant Feather Dreams and Prayers for Good Health to all ;>)
Well my book is calling...and I am thinking I NEED one of PAULA's Peanut butter with chocolate hershey in it...This blog is not good for my waist line!!! YUM YUM YUM!!! SHIRLEY set the night light and I am sure ANDY will set the security system...so I will say Good night and God Bless everyone...
Michael is smiling and says "thank you" for all the congrats. He is actually taking on an entirely different position, he will be a Quality Assurance Specialist and will monitor the halfway houses operations for compliance with state guidelines. He is really looking forward to having a 9-5 job.
Hi all! We are home! And, I even have a little boy sleeping in the other room! Joseph came home with us cause he wanted cinnamon rolls for breakfast. LOL Have washed his clothes to wear tomorrow and let him open a present early...,pj's!
We had a grand evening, lots of laughter. The three boys were loads of fun.
So, tomorrow I bake pies and Laurel, Joey and Jacob will be here late morning.
CarolAnne and Lynn....the Hedgie book is fantastic. CarolAnne, I am so impressed with your creativity! Wow!
Heading to the shower now. Exhausted!! Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Well, I'm running out of steam. Making sure the porch light is on. Making sure both security systems are working. (Don't remember who enabled them, but thank you!) Sleep snugly, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o] P.S.--Happy Christmas Eve!!!
Hmmm, ANDY ran out of steam a little less than 2 hours ago and I'm just picking up steam here in Ohio !
PAULA, congrats to your Michael ! You are justifiably proud. The cookies sound good enough to eat !!!
CAROLANNE, you are indeed talented and I know we all appreciate your tribute to our beloved Hedgie !
LYNN, I, too, love those paper bags with handles--so nice to use to tote things to Julie's, etc.. I get them at Trader Joes and a local gourmet grocer.
HODA, so sorry that dear young mother ran into a sicko in Vancouver. A jarring experience.:( I'm saving the story you posted for a time when I want to kick back n' have a good listen !
LOLLY, had to smile over Joseph coming home with you. Grandkids are sooooo much fun !
MARGY, you'll get it all done and in time, I'm sure. I always love reading your posts. You couldn't be any sweeter if you tried !
Can't wait to see your Charlie Brown tree, LORETTA. Like CAROLANNE points out in her Hedgie Book, you took lemons and made lemonade. What creative people we have here !
CAROLANNE, your twist on Potato Cookies was another sign of your creative mind. Great idea ! I can't believe you once said you didn't feel you had much to share, contribute here. So glad you are with us !
Good morning. Just stopping by for a quick coffee to go...
I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days so I haven't really been on. I've caught a glimpse or two of our pair, but haven't chatted, sorry. I'm feeling a little human today and I'm getting ready to head out to the mall. My mom wanted to go at 6:00 am and it isn't even for Christmas shopping! LOL! Happy Christmas Eve day everyone. I hope I have a chance to catch up later. ♥
DANAMO, the things we do for love ! How nice of you to take your mom to the mall this morning, even though your not feelin' so good. Something you picked up in The Big Apple ?? Glad I got our CC open and the coffee on, in time for you ! ;o)
Sounds like the wind is blowing hard at the nest again this morning. Lights just flashed across the nest so someone, maybe Security, is up and at em' there. That wind often seems to die down at sun up, I think.
SANDI, did you find any use for your Vodka while cleaning yesterday ? I'm soaking my bath and kitchen fixtures in it right now. A couple of whisks with an old toothbrush in about an hour and they'll be gleaming.
Do you hear a little clunking ? Belle and Shep must spend the night above the nest and very near the cam.
Once yesterday afternoon late I heard the distinct sound of an eagle cleaning it's beak, possibly on the cam box ! Wish we also had a cam positioned on that nearby barn for a wide span view. I didn't get the request in to Santa in a timely manner.
Have read back through last night. First and foremost, CarolAnne - the book you made for Lynn made me cry and I have only known you ladies for a month! I can only imagine how special and meaningful it is to Lynn! What a wonderful, creative gift!! Kay, maybe you can fill me in about the night light and the security system that I read about most nights that the late night folks "set." And, Merry Christmas Eve - God bless us every one (Dennis had The Christmas Carol on TV last night as I was heading up to bed)!
SANDI, the night lights and security systems are Virtual only. Someone will tell us later who started the tradition after someone of us fell while groping around in the dark. The night light is set by someone in the East or Midwest in the late evening and then we usually rely on ANDY in CA to set the Security System when she calls it a day. We Early Birds, thanks to LORI's inventive mind, have this Cyber Cafe--same kind of fun !
Kay, I spent so much time running around yesterday (new meds for Bella, borrowing a crate for Bella, carrying Bella up and down the stairs to go outside, to the store for baking soda I thought I had but didn't) that I never got to cleaning the upstairs. That's now on today's agenda, since we won't leave for Balto. until this afternoon.
I am hearing a noise (aside from the wind) right now. I have always assumed that it's a cable to/from the cam that is rattling and hitting against the cam/speaker housing as opposed to an eagle in the tree. My mouse is acting very funny - maybe I need new batteries.
You could be right about those noises. I've wondered if there are little limbs that brush against it in the wind. However, the serious clunking seems to precede an an eagle appearance and stop when they aren't in the tree ???
gifts wrapped, trying to pack for an overnight if I stay in Shepherdstown tonight with James and the family there....I'm NOT a good picker up and packing kind of person
But I have to work first, and wait to hear from the fellas
Kay, I agree that it's easy to distinguish between the clunking of an eagle that lands in the tree near the cam and this other noise. Getting light at the nest! Maybe a visit soon!
Hi, MARGY, I wondered if you were here as the map on the opening page shows me here in Ohio and you in WV. It doesn't show SANDI's DE location ??? I was looking to see if JUDY is lurking, but apparently it can't be relied on to show everybody ????
Margy, I had never heard that about midnight and the animals! All I ever hear around midnight is Dennis snoring on one side of me and bella and Bandit on the other! =)
MARGY, I hope the Kidster and his dad call with a "Come on a my house, house a come on" for you ! You haven't said much about Pringles lately. Has he/she settled in nicely ?
Aha, JUDY, I was looking for you ! Hoping you'd be here for a good visit with our regal eagles so we can have some good pics/video ! Did Jordyn spend the night with you ?
Kay, Went back to the home page and found the map. Frankford, DE would be me. Not sure why Bethany doesn't show up but Frankford is a much bigger post office near here.
On the cam page before you hit the Comments link to get here, down to the lower right, (scroll down) there is a revolving globe and it shows where posts are emanating from... there's more to the explanation, but I'm playing Beat the Clock this morning...and the Clock is winning !!
Hi Judy !!
Kay, Pringles, a fella...is doing okay, not sure if he will go to Shepherdstown with us or not.... but there is other family close to where James lives who will care for him when he is away...
No, JUDY is Seminole and she's checked in, as you can see.
SANDI, look on opening page, under the area where you click the cam on. There is a globe which is supposed to show the location of anyone taking a look at the blog. Sometimes one flag and location will cover others making it hard to read, but you'll see what I mean.
Now the map shows you, SANDI and I see Milwaukee, so maybe CAROLANNE is close by ? I also see MARGY, but not JUDY. Can't figure out why it doesn't show everybody to each of us.
I opened the Sycamore Palace Cyber Cafe very early, so I'm going away for a while. Newspapers, e-mail and my faucets soaking in vodka are all calling my name. HAGD all ! BBL
Hey didn't know if I told you I have another puter buddy on youtube I was in line at work the other day to return my camera and there was a younger man in line returning a suitcase he had bought he was on vacation from IL and we started talking You know me talk talk talk LOL well we exchanged Youtube accts and I got him interested in the eagles He has just emailed me too cool huh He does some great time lapes video of his vacation around the US they are really supper cool
He just uploaded a video from Fl I am gonna go see it this is the email I just got Dunlin, Dowitchers, Yellowlegs and Killdeer Dunlin, Dowitchers, Yellowlegs and Killdeer at the Celery Fields in Sarasota, Florida. Let me know in the comments if you see something different. More
oops thats not the person I meet in the line that is another person I meet on line through you tube didn't really notice the sign on until I saw the video She has lots of nature one also
I wonder if we are going to get a Christmas Eve thread I am going to be missing the sunset eagle visit being I work to 530 now but look forward to reading you all post of it I may not be home for lunch Don't want to give up my parking spot at work This time of year there are no spots left some people park on the curbs and other establishments and walkover and I don't want to walk from another lot to the store so may not be home for lunch Did everyone fly the coupe or are we LMing I bet the later
Judy, bet your work day will be crazy! Couldn't pay me enough to go to a Walmart today. I'll miss the afternoon/evening visit as well b/c we'll be on the road to baltimore. Sun is hitting the nest - looks very pretty (would look prettier w/ an eagle or 2 in it). HAGD!!
Got to keep a eye on time so I should log off as I get so involved in and loose time so I will see you all later on maybe at lunch not for sure yet play it by ear
Have you all seen the advertisement for a gun on the Outdoor Channel. I'm clueless when it comes to guns but it would seem like that one would only be used by law enforcement.
Thelma, Have never noticed the gun ad. I'm bothered by the "tweets" on the right side, since the last one is from March and says the eaglet didn't make it. I wish the tweets would disappear!
Morning all. Merry Christmas Eve. Safe travels to those hitting the road----Sandi and Lynne that I know of. Merry Christmases!! Sandi, do the dogs go with you to your Mom's??? Hope so! What time do the kids get in??
My day is up and running. Papers read, bathroom scrubbed. Eating some cinnamon rolls so I can take my pills....Day 4.
Need to get the good china out of the china closet next and MT the dishwasher. Woman's work is never done!!
And Liesl got into the creche straw while I was cleaning the BR---pulled a long piece out and chewed ii up under the kitchen table! ARGH!
GOOD MORNING... I need to go back and find Carol-Anne's book, must be wonderful with all the accolades. Yes, I too am glad she has joined our group!
The Animals at Midnight legend is sweet: When Jesus was born, the animals in the stable were watching this great event. It is said that Jesus was born at exactly midnight and at that moment, God gave them the ability to speak...they then praised God for the miracle they had just seen. When the Shepherds came into the stable to see the Christ Child, the animals stopped speaking. The only humans to hear the animals speak were, Mary, Joseph and the baby. This legand started in the mountains of Norway and children are said to go to the stables at midnight to see if the animals really do speak...at midnight on Christmas Eve.
Lynn, Yes, the dogs go with. Will be taking the crate to keep Bella in. We'll go to my sister's tomorrow and she has a lab mix puppy who thinks Bella is a play toy. Can't have Bella being swatted around with her back injury (she's no better but also no worse).
Lynn....you are keeping true to the Whirling Dervish reputation you have established amongst us.... Busy is your first, middle and last name ☺ (( Hugs ♥ ))
Lolly: How neat, a sleepover in advance with your grandson Joseph!!
Happy Christmas Eve Day to everyone. I am so glad everyone has the chance to see Lynn's book. It was my way to let her know how much I admire how she is handling the situation. I for one, am not sure I could do as well. (I picture myself curled up in a darkened bedroom).
Wishing the best to everyone and safe travels for those on the road.
Yesindeedy, Paula.... guys are pretty famous for that...
Good Morning..... wish I could go around and sample all the aromas and delicacies that so many are making.... I have not baked one single solitary thing...
Lynn, What's the significance of the hedgehogs in your book and your screen name? Is it b/c of where you live? Or are you fond of hedgehogs? We'll see Brian and Lynnis this evening at Denny's brother's house. Today is our niece, Meredith's birthday so we always spend Christmas Eve with the Roberts family b/c my SIL always has a birthday party for Meredith (she has never wanted her to feel cheated out of her birthday b/c she was born so close to Christmas).
I learned so much about eagles and the wonderful people that have touched this blog over the years when I read back from 2006 until now. It was hard to pick what to choose, it was all so interesting.
Wish I could do one for each and everyone of you to reflect how you've added to the blog and each others lives.
I think someday there will be one about THE MIRACLES OF MOMSTER PRAYERS. Highlighting all the wonderous results from prayers sent on high!
Sandi, Lynn was first on here as "Hedgesviller" for her moniker...I started calling her Hedgie, so she changed it...and we started sending her hedgehog pics, too, LOL
Lynn...if you could stop by Magpie's Roost..you could probably really appreciate all you HAVE accomplished; my place is a wreck! but....right now it doesn't matter too much
To piggyback on CarolAnne's comment about the power of Momster prayer... I would just like to say that one of the best gifts I will get this Christmas is becoming a part of this blog. I have NEVER seen a more phenomenal support group! The phrase I see repeated frequently is so true, "I came for the eagles, but stayed for the friendships!" I can tell that you are all very dear friends to one another, even though some of you have never even met! I feel blessed to be a part of this group!

I have listened to it every Christmas since the 80's...take sometime and it is an excellent program.
so...we're in the "Dark" on daily news together, Shirley, but with Hoda
We're in the Light ☺
The Shepherd takes around 35 minutes...worth the experience...
Good Night prayers for everyone and their animals too.

PAULA, Enjoy the time with Michael and MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS...
Time to say Goodnight.
Gang got home about 9:30 from Zoofest w/about 120 pics & videos. Wish I was there, but the suggestion for that (me going down to meet them) over the phone to the Other person who answered was not relayed!!! Coal in the stocking!
Took pic of the "Charlie Brown" tree! Hope to put stuff on soon ☺.
Pleasant Feather Dreams and Prayers for Good Health to all ;>)

SHIRLEY set the night light and I am sure ANDY will set the security system...so I will say Good night and God Bless everyone...
Michael is smiling and says "thank you" for all the congrats. He is actually taking on an entirely different position, he will be a Quality Assurance Specialist and will monitor the halfway houses operations for compliance with state guidelines. He is really looking forward to having a 9-5 job.
Carol Anne, the book that you made for Lynn is just beautiful ♥
Good Night and Happy Christmas Eve, Every One.....

We had a grand evening, lots of laughter. The three boys were loads of fun.
So, tomorrow I bake pies and Laurel, Joey and Jacob will be here late morning.
CarolAnne and Lynn....the Hedgie book is fantastic. CarolAnne, I am so impressed with your creativity! Wow!
Heading to the shower now. Exhausted!! Nite all! Sweet dreams!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!
Good Evening, Everyone! (or is it Good Morning?!)
Today has been a crazy day, running around getting last-minute things done. We finally got our outdoor Christmas lights up and running!
See there is much need for prayers here! Prayers for Sharon and WV Dana's colds. Those stupid ailments need to SCRAM!
Kay, glad the shot is helping your knee!
Oh, my! Prayers for Jack, Lolly, and Joseph.
Aargh! Prayers for Shirley, too. Yikes! Prayers, also, for George the cat!
Prayers and more prayers for Bella, and Lynne2, also for Bro Cat! So sorry!

Prayers continue for Tori, Robyn, and Bobbi.
Lynn, sorry for your loss of another co-worker. Prayers for his family.
NCSusan, prayers for your daughter's kitty!
CarolAnne, the book for Lynn is just beautiful!
Well, I'm running out of steam. Making sure the porch light is on. Making sure both security systems are working. (Don't remember who enabled them, but thank you!) Sleep snugly, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you!
:o]
P.S.--Happy Christmas Eve!!!
Hmmm, ANDY ran out of steam a little less than 2 hours ago and I'm just picking up steam here in Ohio !
PAULA, congrats to your Michael ! You are justifiably proud. The cookies sound good enough to eat !!!
CAROLANNE, you are indeed talented and I know we all appreciate your tribute to our beloved Hedgie !
LYNN, I, too, love those paper bags with handles--so nice to use to tote things to Julie's, etc.. I get them at Trader Joes and a local gourmet grocer.

I'm feeling a little human today and I'm getting ready to head out to the mall. My mom wanted to go at 6:00 am and it isn't even for Christmas shopping! LOL! Happy Christmas Eve day everyone. I hope I have a chance to catch up later. ♥
DANAMO, the things we do for love ! How nice of you to take your mom to the mall this morning, even though your not feelin' so good. Something you picked up in The Big Apple ?? Glad I got our CC open and the coffee on, in time for you ! ;o)
Morning! Looks like DMo and Kay on this AM. Wonder if Lori is sleeping in at her folks? Sounds windy at the nest already!!
Sounds like the wind is blowing hard at the nest again this morning. Lights just flashed across the nest so someone, maybe Security, is up and at em' there. That wind often seems to die down at sun up, I think.
Hi, SANDI ! I believe you might be right about LORI. No dogs or cats to care for and the chance to sleep in, I'm all for that !
SANDI, did you find any use for your Vodka while cleaning yesterday ? I'm soaking my bath and kitchen fixtures in it right now. A couple of whisks with an old toothbrush in about an hour and they'll be gleaming.
Do you hear a little clunking ? Belle and Shep must spend the night above the nest and very near the cam.
Once yesterday afternoon late I heard the distinct sound of an eagle cleaning it's beak, possibly on the cam box ! Wish we also had a cam positioned on that nearby barn for a wide span view. I didn't get the request in to Santa in a timely manner.
Just had to hit Play at the 14:54 mark and hope the cam now runs a long time for me. Yesterday it was very cranky !
Have read back through last night. First and foremost, CarolAnne - the book you made for Lynn made me cry and I have only known you ladies for a month! I can only imagine how special and meaningful it is to Lynn! What a wonderful, creative gift!!

Good Christmas Eve Morning, Eagle Pals.. ☺
Yes, windy at the nest...well, breezy I guess....
Good to "See You" here Sandi and Kay....and DanaMo,(already on the run..)
I'm sure more will be moseying on pretty soon
And let's hope that "More" includes Belle and Shep !
Morning Margy. Are you working today?
You could be right about those noises. I've wondered if there are little limbs that brush against it in the wind. However, the serious clunking seems to precede an an eagle appearance and stop when they aren't in the tree ???
gifts wrapped, trying to pack for an overnight if I stay in Shepherdstown tonight with James and the family there....I'm NOT a good picker up and packing kind of person
But I have to work first, and wait to hear from the fellas
Remember at Midnight...
Go outside and listen for the animals celebrating Christmas..... ☺
Kay, I agree that it's easy to distinguish between the clunking of an eagle that lands in the tree near the cam and this other noise. Getting light at the nest! Maybe a visit soon!
Hi, MARGY, I wondered if you were here as the map on the opening page shows me here in Ohio and you in WV. It doesn't show SANDI's DE location ??? I was looking to see if JUDY is lurking, but apparently it can't be relied on to show everybody ????
Margy, I had never heard that about midnight and the animals! All I ever hear around midnight is Dennis snoring on one side of me and bella and Bandit on the other! =)
Yes Sandi...this is my "Friday" - then off two, work one, and I got Wednesday and Thursday off, leave slip just approved yesterday ☺
maybe on those days I can catch up the blog posts and find out what
I've been missing ~
Happy Traveling to you for later...you'll be pretty close to some of "us'ns" here while in Baltimore
G☺☺D M☼rning eagle buds I just got up
MARGY, I hope the Kidster and his dad call with a "Come on a my house, house a come on" for you ! You haven't said much about Pringles lately. Has he/she settled in nicely ?
Aha, JUDY, I was looking for you ! Hoping you'd be here for a good visit with our regal eagles so we can have some good pics/video ! Did Jordyn spend the night with you ?
MARGY, that should have been, "come on a my house, my house a come on"♫♪
Kay, what map??
I see what you mean Kay....Sandi must be slipping "under the radar"
but sometimes it shows me posting from Rochester New York! So maybe Sandi is hitting form Seminole Florida !
But WE know you're here Sandi....
(we are looking at the site metre and revolving globe...for your info Sandi)
I don't know the legend of the animals at midnight right now, but I guarantee someone will and will post it !
It's good to hear you're taking some extra time off next week, MARGY ! Are you planning a little visit with one of the sibs ?
Kay, Went back to the home page and found the map. Frankford, DE would be me. Not sure why Bethany doesn't show up but Frankford is a much bigger post office near here.
Oops, forgot! Morning Judy!
On the cam page before you hit the Comments link to get here, down to the lower right, (scroll down) there is a revolving globe and it shows where posts are emanating from...
there's more to the explanation, but I'm playing Beat the Clock this morning...and the Clock is winning !!
Hi Judy !!
Kay, Pringles, a fella...is doing okay, not sure if he will go to Shepherdstown with us or not....
but there is other family close to where James lives who will care for him when he is away...
Jordyn was here till Angie kidnapped her about 12 I was awake but in bed when she came to get her Odd I can't sleep well when she is here
No, JUDY is Seminole and she's checked in, as you can see.
SANDI, look on opening page, under the area where you click the cam on. There is a globe which is supposed to show the location of anyone taking a look at the blog. Sometimes one flag and location will cover others making it hard to read, but you'll see what I mean.
I'll be far away from computer access when in Shepherdstown....
but I can check in from work today....

Now the map shows you, SANDI and I see Milwaukee, so maybe CAROLANNE is close by ? I also see MARGY, but not JUDY. Can't figure out why it doesn't show everybody to each of us.
JUST LOOKING AROUND LIKE, "LIFE IS GOOD!" I THINK THEY AGREE WITH MARGY!
poof one
POOF BELLE?
I love hearing the wing flap in the cam
poof two
And, there was some light clunking while they were both in the nest, so there is definitely some line or limb contributing to that phenomenon.
POOF 2
Too short, Eagles, please return soon !
odd they usually don't leave right away in the morning I hope they come back Gonna go start reading LM
I think they'll be in and out today and help us celebrate Christmas Eve....

Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone...
Praying for Wellness amongst all of us and all our pets

Good morning my friends.
As I was letting the dogs in I noticed we had a little dusting of snow.
It is not suppose to snow for Christmas. The weather man said it will be in the high 40s and 50s, much warmer than this time of the season.
I wonder if we are going to get a Christmas Eve thread I am going to be missing the sunset eagle visit being I work to 530 now but look forward to reading you all post of it I may not be home for lunch Don't want to give up my parking spot at work This time of year there are no spots left some people park on the curbs and other establishments and walkover and I don't want to walk from another lot to the store so may not be home for lunch Did everyone fly the coupe or are we LMing I bet the later
Judy, bet your work day will be crazy! Couldn't pay me enough to go to a Walmart today. I'll miss the afternoon/evening visit as well b/c we'll be on the road to baltimore. Sun is hitting the nest - looks very pretty (would look prettier w/ an eagle or 2 in it). HAGD!!
Looks like the weather at the nest is calmer now
WANDA I love your avatar soooo cute and soooo sweet
Usually, what time is the evening visit? I've got to remember that.
Everyone stay safe on your travels and/or time with family. (((hugs)))
Good morning!
So busy, no time to read back at all for past couple of days. But I wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!
We are heading to MILs in a few minutes and I doubt I'll get online while there.
SO, travel safely, enjoy the time with friends and family, and MERRY CHRISTMAS prayers for you all!
sundown is when they show up 430 and after on the other day they made about 5 visit throught out the day
Got to keep a eye on time so I should log off as I get so involved in and loose time so I will see you all later on maybe at lunch not for sure yet play it by ear
I didn't mean stay safe with family or friends, although that could be the case. LOL Enjoy your time with family and/or friends.
Have you all seen the advertisement for a gun on the Outdoor Channel. I'm clueless when it comes to guns but it would seem like that one would only be used by law enforcement.
Thelma, Have never noticed the gun ad. I'm bothered by the "tweets" on the right side, since the last one is from March and says the eaglet didn't make it. I wish the tweets would disappear!
I see some sunshine.
Morning all. Merry Christmas Eve. Safe travels to those hitting the road----Sandi and Lynne that I know of. Merry Christmases!!
Sandi, do the dogs go with you to your Mom's??? Hope so! What time do the kids get in??
My day is up and running. Papers read, bathroom scrubbed. Eating some cinnamon rolls so I can take my pills....Day 4.
Need to get the good china out of the china closet next and MT the dishwasher. Woman's work is never done!!
And Liesl got into the creche straw while I was cleaning the BR---pulled a long piece out and chewed ii up under the kitchen table! ARGH!
JudyE---you all are CLOSED tomorrow, right?????
Sandi, I have thought about asking them to tweet something else to drop that down a bit.
I just looked at the book CarolAnne made for Hedgie--just beautiful.
DanaMo's parent's anniversary article was in the Hagerstown paper today! But it's not online yet. Will watch for it and post it.
Isn't it lovely, Lynne1?? C/A is so creative!!
GOOD MORNING...
I need to go back and find Carol-Anne's book, must be wonderful with all the accolades.
Yes, I too am glad she has joined our group!
The Animals at Midnight legend is sweet:
When Jesus was born, the animals in the stable were watching this great event. It is said that Jesus was born at exactly midnight and at that moment, God gave them the ability to speak...they then praised God for the miracle they had just seen. When the Shepherds came into the stable to see the Christ Child, the animals stopped speaking. The only humans to hear the animals speak were, Mary, Joseph and the baby.
This legand started in the mountains of Norway and children are said to go to the stables at midnight to see if the animals really do speak...at midnight on Christmas Eve.
Lynn, Yes, the dogs go with. Will be taking the crate to keep Bella in. We'll go to my sister's tomorrow and she has a lab mix puppy who thinks Bella is a play toy. Can't have Bella being swatted around with her back injury (she's no better but also no worse).
Wanda:
thank you soooo much for posting that about the Legends of the Animals...
Good Morning More Eagle Pals !!!
xoxo
See you all, see Sunshine ☼ no matter what the weather is
Morning, all!
Slept great, got the oven going already.
Michael is heading out for some last minute shopping...have to say he's a typical male shopper, LOL
Lynn....you are keeping true to the Whirling Dervish reputation you have established amongst us....
Busy is your first, middle and last name ☺
(( Hugs ♥ ))
Lolly: How neat, a sleepover in advance with your grandson Joseph!!
Happy Christmas Eve Day to everyone.
I am so glad everyone has the chance to see Lynn's book. It was my way to let her know how much I admire how she is handling the situation. I for one, am not sure I could do as well. (I picture myself curled up in a darkened bedroom).
Wishing the best to everyone and safe travels for those on the road.
Yesindeedy, Paula....
guys are pretty famous for that...
Good Morning.....
wish I could go around and sample all the aromas and delicacies that so many are making....
I have not baked one single solitary thing...
remembering that someone suggested we need a
Smell-o-cam...
might have been Mits of Ceil...or one of thet Bluefield Delegation...
Lynn, What's the significance of the hedgehogs in your book and your screen name? Is it b/c of where you live? Or are you fond of hedgehogs? We'll see Brian and Lynnis this evening at Denny's brother's house. Today is our niece, Meredith's birthday so we always spend Christmas Eve with the Roberts family b/c my SIL always has a birthday party for Meredith (she has never wanted her to feel cheated out of her birthday b/c she was born so close to Christmas).
that would be Mits OR Ceil...
Hi CarolAnne: you can see we are all ga-ga with the Book...there are few words to really describe it
Merry Christmas ♥
I learned so much about eagles and the wonderful people that have touched this blog over the years when I read back from 2006 until now. It was hard to pick what to choose, it was all so interesting.
Wish I could do one for each and everyone of you to reflect how you've added to the blog and each others lives.
I think someday there will be one about THE MIRACLES OF MOMSTER PRAYERS. Highlighting all the wonderous results from prayers sent on high!
Sandi, sorry that Bella is not any better. Hope your trip goes well.
Oh, C/A---we all do what we must. I know you would fight, too!!!
Margy, still lots I have not done---and won't get done. :(
Thanks, Wanda---always nice to hear the animals' story again!
Wanda,
I want to thank you AGAIN for posting the Animals at Midnight Legend o...
it just about has me in tears right nowm, it is so beautiful.....
Sandi, Lynn was first on here as "Hedgesviller" for her moniker...I started calling her Hedgie, so she changed it...and we started sending her hedgehog pics, too, LOL
Lynn...if you could stop by Magpie's Roost..you could probably really appreciate all you HAVE accomplished; my place is a wreck!
but....right now it doesn't matter too much
Google Graphics nice and cheery again, different one...not sure if it makes any noise or not....
With all the good food talked about on here, I can imagine an Eagle Blogger Recipe book too!
Which reminds me, off I must go to crush some gingersnaps and get my fake cakepops made.
I swear, this blog just makes for a warm, glowing feeling . . . or is that a hot flash. lol
Best to all you wonderful people!
To piggyback on CarolAnne's comment about the power of Momster prayer... I would just like to say that one of the best gifts I will get this Christmas is becoming a part of this blog. I have NEVER seen a more phenomenal support group! The phrase I see repeated frequently is so true, "I came for the eagles, but stayed for the friendships!" I can tell that you are all very dear friends to one another, even though some of you have never even met! I feel blessed to be a part of this group!
Mornning Christmas Eve
CarolAnne that book as I did leave a message. You are so creative!!!!
The book it wonderful♥♥
Wanda thank you for the Animals Talking. I was going to google it..thank you for putting it on the blog. Hugs
Sandi where in Baltimore do you go? I used to live in several places in Baltimore from 1969-1973.
As I stated yesterday safe travels to all traveling. I knew Lynn2 and
Steve would be gone before I got on here.
Margy wonderful that you'll be with the James for Christmas.
I am so happy that I have all of you. It is a miracle I haven't chased you all away from me. I thank God for that MIRACLE. I love you all!!!!
Thank you all for the morning eagle comments. (:
Snow in Bluefield I read.
Lynn your avatar is beautiful .. I enlarged it...stunning!!! Pet Liesl for me please (tummy rub)♥♥
Merry Christmas Eve!!
So happy to have the chance to at least check in and see how my dear friends are doing this fine holiday.
So sorry I have been AWOL!! A very busy and stressful week of preparing and doing whatever was necessary has just about done me in.
Wishing you all a Blessed Christmas with your family and friends.....
