Thanks for the new thread, now here's what I just posted on the other! LOL! hmm...I was referring to the radio giveaway of a $50 gift card this morning on Lori's show. I was asking Lori was it was for, because I missed in when they said it.
Loads of fun in kindergarten and not getting much accomplished academically today. We have had all kinds of things going on including our Pixie Shop. The children get to shop for their family and friends in a set up little store with all kinds of inexpensive treasures. This afternoon we get to see the dress rehearsal of the Christmas program and in between I've got a couple of crafts that need to be completed including the slippers for St. Nicholas Day. Hoping to finish those before lunch and hang them on the kids lockers to be filled while we are at the play. Busy, busy...
What kinds of toys Wanda? Maybe I can bring some stuff over on Sunday. I plan to meet Lori and Jo at the market. Of course I also plan to go see the nest again.
You all need to look up a Time magazine article on a man made built hummingbird meant to mimic a hummingbird's flight. It is the Nano Air Vehicle (NAV). It was built by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. KWL stuff.
"Hear" you loud and clear, DanaWV ☺ Good Afternoon..... with you traveling a good bit at night from your Mom's and back, aren't you seeing some beautiful Holiday Lights !!
figured out yesterday once I get OUT of my pajamas, and INTO real cloathes aka bib overalls...I get a lot more done... mission accomplished... disappearing into the projects now... xo ♥ ttfn
I hear mail now might be going to Baltimore before heading to Frederick....no more of those "overnight mail" deliveries from here to there, possibly :( mail gets to Annandale in a day, and also to Massachusetts! But it takes several days to get to Fredericksburg...
Hey there Jim! I mighta chased everyone else away.... and I just chased the Live feed away too :( hit refresh on THAT instead of refresh on THIS. Good to see you, and to have an Official Dadster on Board....
I'm home and getting caught up, slowly but surely! TIRED!!!! May need a nap before I get far! Had a great time! Good fellowship and food.....everything turned out perfectly! 66 showed up!!
Hi, Everyone, Caught up just a bit on the blog. Lolly, Prayers for your friend Harriet, for her surgery, and for strength during the chemo treatments. God bless her health! Margy, Thanks for the St. Nick's Day info! Fascinating! Sharon, No WAY you starved your Daddy to death! I'm glad you know that's not true! (((HUGS)))!! Enjoy Andrew's concert (I know you will)!! LOVE the Train "Shake Up Christmas"! WV Dana, I'm CERTAIN that Ed is smiling down on you for donating his clothes to the Clothes Closet!
Prayers continue for Linda, her Mom, and the entire family, as Mom's Promotion Day draws nearer. Love you, Linda! (((HUGS)))!!!
Well, Miss Emma is begging for some lap time, so guess I'd better go for now. Will check back in later! :o]
Safe travels, Shar......roads wet down your way, too??? Tell Andrew the Momsters say HI and break a leg!
Okay, caught up on this thread!
Margy, I think the local processing center closes come March.....then everything will go to Baltimore. :(
A friend brought me what I THINK is a Christmas Cactus......you all know my brown thumb. Any tips???? Guess I'll have to look it up on the 'net.....but figure so many of you are plant experts, that I'll start with you!
saying prayers for Looly's friend, Harriet. Sounds like she has the right attitude!!! And it's okay to be a little fearful of the unknown---as in chemo! TG I know what to expect! I remember that fear!
Prayers for your friend,Harriet, Lolly...I had jumped to the new thread after T-Birds's New Thread alert and never went backwards...
see a couple of Eagle and poof messages back there from early afternoon
Hello Eagle Pals !
Lynn - Journal Junction comment from a 30-year veteran mail carrier, that's what I saw.... I agree, I thought it would not be until Springtime at least
SIL is home from the hospital. Only thing Carolyn knows so far is that his red blood count is elevated----probably from a new pain med Dr. gave him last week. Thanks for prayers!!!
I saw them both come in at what looked like the same time so I might have missed the first in and out, DanaMo was perched on a stepstool washing windows so I did't climb down
I wish I had heard the Call out from Loo and Lori ! but, I didn't.... How Exciting, though, for you Dana, and any other school personnel and friends listening !!
I WAS fixin' to take a nap but then pushed on to do the windows... still have several more to do, but not now that it's too dark outside to see if I'm getting them right
Shirley I use to be in a bowling league years back. There wasn't nothing said about standing there watching your ball go down the alley to hit the pins then leaving the area. I don't think things have changed over the years that much. Plus when I gone and watched them bowl they still stand there until the ball hits the pins.
Andy I see you got a laptop I have windows 7 and I like it. Don't update to windows 9. Someone in blog did and it was a mess. They went back to windows 7. Enjoy the speeding lol
Bowling Instructions: Release the ball onto the alley - Stand there very still & watch and pray you get a strike or a spare! Pray that you don't get a split. Once the pins fall - feel free to turn and go back to your chair with your team.
Sounds like the other team giving you advice must bowl so fast and never watch what they are doing - especially NOT having any fun!
It is just a few minutes after sunset and the skies are clear and the moon is up. BEAUTIFUL. It just cleared the eastern mountain range close to the flat...I can see it from my front window...It is going to be a crisp night out there...
Lynn that is why I did not wait till later like usual to leave Mothers. I could till I was going to hit fog. Yeppers need a knife to cut it with.
I am not suppose to tell anyone. I took my walker into Mother this evening. Hands is still bothering her but it went into her foot now. Left hand had swollen the other day and went down. Yesterday her left foot swelled...is gone down but like a stone bruise on bottom of heel. She just keeps on ... I pray I can do that if I make it to her age. We did have some laughs together in there this evening. Good to see her laugh. ♥♥
Lynn, I could go for another fog delay tomorrow morning. So far, no fog here and we didn't get any rain today either, though it was predicted. DanaMo - love the sweater! =) If I wore a Christmas sweater like that to my middle school, my 8th grade girls would laugh me right out of the hallway! Sorry I missed the eagles all day today - checked in a few times but the nest was always empty - oops, make that MT!
Going to go check to see if I can see Good Wife that I missed.
Check in later.
If I wouldn't get here: Prayers for Linda and her Mother and family, Charlie and Carolyn, Harriet, Kris, any and all with a prayer need for God knows who you are. Prayers for Gods creatures big and small.
Prayers that Sharon does not "break a leg" but does enjoy Andrew's directing music. PROUD MOTHER (:
Watching Michael Buble Christmas show. Second time I have seen him. I am starting to really like him. Girls just went nuts cause he had Justin Beeler on.
oh, found out last night that Tom Sweetie [upstairs] also once had a Pomeranian Mix...possibly with a Corgi...when he lived out on the West Coast... she lived 15 years, her name was Punkin
This is a short "fly by". Hope everyone is safe and warm. Lynn, glad you had fun today.
Jo, your family is really a good looking bunch!
WVGal Dana, your unselfishness with Ed's stuff will benefit so many people. Thank you.
Lolly, thinking of your friend.
Linda, i have heartache for you and your Mom. I know it is terribly exhausting for both of you. You have suffered a lot of tragedy this year. Will be thinking of you, your Mom and family.
And to those i have not commented, magpie, and paula and sandi, et al.....thinking of you too!
Brother Cat had to go to work with me today. He's fine, just needed his depo injection for his IBD. My coworker took some pictures and posted them on my FB wall...he is singing! He sang all day. ALL DAY. I tried to adopt him out but no one wanted him. LOL!
We don't know, Lynne. They released him while Caro was at work. Only thing he told her before they had a fight was that his red cell count was high, supposedly due to a new pain med. ARGH! Men! Sounding now like we won't get enough of the white stuff to matter----hoping that is the case.
Lynne When I went to my storage bins Monday....there were LOTS of stink bugs, I was shaking all the stuff out, still haven't brought it in off the front porch yet.... well, a few things I did ...
OH NO!!! That STINKS Margy....I found a bunch this past weekend in my file box as I was reorganizing. Well, I guess on the bright side, they weren't roaches....
Glad to know that Sharon is at Scott Depot [WV] now...for Andrew's concert, and has a few days to spend with him, with another concert coming up. Now THAT makes for some Merry Christmas spirit !
Gosh, we still had mild Santa Ana winds here today, and I think that's why our gardeners didn't show up. Wish they had called to say they weren't going to be here. I think they probably had to take much longer with each yard because of massive amounts of leaves to pick up. Hopefully they will be here tomorrow. The winds have died down now.
Well, think I'm going to call it a day. Have said prayers for everyone, and for every creature. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Sleep tight, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]
Margy, we have our annual luncheon at the Holiday Inn. One of our retirees' daughter's is the head of Hospitality, so she takes really good care of us!
Lynne, Charlie just hollered at Carolyn badly and hung up on her when she was driving home, and hadn't spoken to her before she went to bed. She has to be at work at 4am for a 12 hr. shift.
Andy, do you have your report templates all set on the new puter so that you are still working??? How is Jay doing, by the way?? And how is ??Dan?? doing? Sorry if I have the name wrong.
Shirley, I'll tell you tomorrow what Bill said about the bowling.
Calling it a day here, too. Hope you all have a restful nnight. Prayers for all, but especailly for Linda, her Mom and the family. Hope they are all finding peace....and sharing the love.
I watched the Hallmark movie I loved it because I loved the actors. My guy Mac from CSI:NY had the lead!!
Lynn, I hope you watched Flashpoint. Really really tense!
It's been a good day - rain and all. Glad I got my Kristen Morning today.
My neighbor who had his hip replacement came home today - hubby went down to help him into the house but he was going good on his own with a walker. I know he is happy to be home. They did have a hospital bed delivered so he will be able to get in and out easily.
I am praying for Linda to stay strong. There were good words being said concerning the Grand Promotion and it is comforting to think that way.
I did have an email from Judie --- FYI "Have, indeed, been overtaken by the work to end the semester. Tired would be an understatement." She'll be with us as soon as things at school slow down a bit.
Very happy Sharon got us a picture of Andrew in Concert and Likewise that Lolly got us a picture of Joseph with his cello in concert.
Enough said before I do one of Wanda's face plants!
Good Night & God Bless Everyone & their loved ones & their critters Prayers for our needs and also for our Thankfulness for our blessings Hugs for everyone ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I will say good night too. It sounds things are well with our day in sharing and staying present to all the events in our lives. PRAYERS to LINDA'S MOTHER as she transitions.
HEALING PRAYERS continue for LYNN. Prayers also for all who were mentioned on the blog today...
It seems most of us have been too busy today to spend very much time on here. I guess it is that TIME OF YEAR! So much to do and so little time and energy to do it.
Heading for facebook to see if my daughter has made it back home yet from OBX...then headed to bed. GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS SLEEP WELL PRAYERS AND LOVE FOR ALL
Hi all! We be home! Had a fun evening. I was cooking dinner and Jack was helping Jacob with homework when Laurel got home. She wants us to move in with her so it is like that when she comes home every evening. lol
Then we went to the orchestra concert. This particular orchestra teacher teaches at two elementaries as well as one high school. So, we listened to the 5th grade orchestra made up to two elementaries that had never played all together. They did great! Then we listened to the three different groups from the high school. Amazing how great they are after just a few years.
We were proud of Joseph. They are told to sit on the edge of their chairs and sit up straight. He did great...his posture was wonderful. He has always been one who follows directions very well!
Good morning!! Thanks to all of you for the prayers for the hubby. He seemed fine this morning before I headed to work for a 12 hr shift. ugh, trying to stay awake here!!
Jewels, thanks for checking in. You had a horrible day yesterday, but sounds like things are better today. Prayers for Charlie to continue !
Lynn, what a wonderful turn out for your luncheon. Big relief for you after all your hard work.
This is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. 70 years ago today and the numbers of vets involved now dwindling. I was not quite 5 years old and have vivid memories of my parent's angst over that fateful day. Mother's brother was a Marine and in the Pacific campaign. Turned out he was in Guam at the time, thank God.
Boy, howdy, that hug felt good ! Thank you, Lori, dear !
Julie and I went to our "Food Pantry" fund raiser last night. Oh, my, what a feast. about 10 eateries donated the food and presented their signature dishes. I counted 25 tables of 8 and a couple of tables seating about 14 each. Very few empty chairs, so about 225 people in attendance. At $50 a head it's going to add a nice chunk of change for the care of the needy ! Great Christmas music by a pianist and a sax player and lots of good conversation at the table where Julie and I landed. This is the 4th year for this event and our first at a hall in a nearby Catholic Church. We outgrew a wonderful little restaurant down the street ! Yeah !
Lori, I'm staying tuned for your report on bedbugs ! Ohio is the bedbug capitol it seems. Infestations have been found in hotels, hospitals, schools....One of my neighbors fought them off with the help of an exterminator about a year and a half ago. Turned out to be no threat to my condo as bedbugs are said to travel horizontally and only the condo beneath theirs was in jeopardy and treated, too. They think they came in on luggage after a vacation. Ugh, makes me itch to recall that anxious time here !
Oh Kay, the Food Pantry fund raiser sounds wonderful! Can't ask for more than that. Everyone is going to, organizing, or part of some pretty great charity events and get-togethers this season.
Jewels, you poor thing. You've had a crummy week. ((Big Hug)) :)
D-MO! Good Morning! I'm glad you got such a kick out of your shout-out. Funny how little kids, young and old at heart love the Christmas music! I wish we would play more of the hymns, Silent Night, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, etc. Okay, everyone, what's your favorite traditional Christmas song? I think mine is It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.
Hi DanaMo ! Wish I'd been in on that shout out to your class yesterday ! How special that was ! Got a kick out of Sandi's comment on what would happen if she wore that sweater to the middle school.☺ I have a friend in her first year of retirement after 30+ years of teaching Kindergarten in Holland, MI. She was noted for wearing bright colors and duds that appealed to kids of that age, but made others kind of shake their heads !
Funny thing is our 8th graders love my sweaters. I hope that doesn't sound like I am bragging or against public school, but our kids really are different. The environment is totally different. I am by no means saying they are angels, but there is a certain naiveness or innocence around them. I don't know if I'm saying it right. And I don't mean to offend anyone so I hope that I don't come off that way.
Morning Sandi. Rain in H-town. Not heavy just drizzle. They are calling for snow tonight. Not sure how that's going to happen, it's 54 degrees right now. I rather keep the 54 degrees myself.
DanaMo, Not offended in the least! Must be nice to be in a school w/ 8th graders who aren't already becoming cynical and jaded. Must be a nice feeling to have your daughter going to school in that environment as well! Public schools can be dangerous places for adolescents these days, and I'm not talking about drugs or weapons! I'm talking words!
Let it snow! How perfect! LOL! We are suppose to get some here in Hagerstown. I don't believe it, and I won't count on it! It will be the talk in the teachers room today.
My husband always says I can't protect them forever, but I say I can sure as hell try!
Both Aric and Andrew got a rude awakening at Catholic colleges with the drinking and sex and that is fine that they get hit with it at that point. And I know it's at Goretti, I'm not stupid, I know what I did, but I can try to keep them in that bubble for as long as possible.
Hey, Sandi, nice to "see" you. I know you were hoping for another fog delay, but kinda glad that potentially dangerous threat has gone away !
Dana, back when I was a kid nuns were the teachers at parochial schools. Many a comedian has used their Cathlic upbringing and authoritarian nuns for their stock and trade ! Are there fewer nuns in teaching now and if so, I wonder why ???
Researchers now say bedbugs are able to inbreed with close relatives and still produce healthy offspring. That means that if just a few bedbugs survive in a building after treatment, they repopulate quickly. It helps explain why they're so hard to eliminate. The new research was presented yesterday in Philadelphia at the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Bedbugs are wingless, reddish-brown insects that bite people & animals to draw blood for their meals. Though their bites can cause itching and welts, they are not known to spread disease. Researchers also say they found many different strains of bedbugs throughout the East Coast, meaning they're coming into the country from lots of different places.
There are very few nuns teaching now. That lifestyle just isn't something girls want to do today. Hardly any sisters in the communities (convents) now. We have one Sr. who just turned 85 she works in library and another who just turned 73 and she is the kindergarten aide (I took her job when kindergarten when full day and she didn't want any part of it). There are no nuns at Goretti. It's really why Catholic schools are so expensive now. Back in the day tuition was very low because nuns didn't get paid (or very little). So it didn't cost anything to run the school, no salaries or very little. It's sad, but it's the way of the world. Being a virgin, being "poor", being single, giving their life to God and the church just not what girls want today.
I think it's why we have a shortage of priest as well. And I personally don't think it should change ie..priests getting married. I don't think that is the answer and I don't think they should, but I am VERY old fashion.
Ew...bedbugs. I always worry about them with Monte traveling so much. I tried to get him travel sheets after he got "ringworm" (I think that's what it was) but he didn't want to so I didn't get them.
Thanks, Lori ! Here's hoping none of Kendra's survived in this building.
And, thanks to you Dana. Your explanation of the decline in nuns makes a lot of sense. I guess there are fewer men entering the priesthood as well. As you say, "the way of the world".
Dana, I hope Monte does a thorough check of the bedding when checking into a hotel. "They" say, if you find the critters in the bed ask for a room change to a different area of the hotel or two floors removed. And, they say not to set luggage on the floor or bed, only on a rack or dresser. We can all be just so careful as they can be carried in on clothing to any place people gather---waiting rooms, etc.. Thank goodness they don't carry disease and they don't actually bite everyone. My neighbor got the clue when she was chewed up with bites. They didn't bite her spousal equivalent at all !
Kay, have you ever seen "The Chew" on ABC daytime? Yesterday the guys wore Christmas vests - very funny. DanaMo talking about a Christmas sweater reminded me of it.
No, Lori, I've not seen The Chew. The only daytime program I ever turn on is The View and then I only stay for Hot Topics. I have no trouble sitting on my duff for hours at this computer, but refuse to sit in front of the boob tube before the evening news. ☺
I can't take credit for "spousal equivalent"---that used to be Joy Behar's term for her Steve. They've been together for 20 or 30 years and just married a couple of months ago. She explains that as they grew older they worried about those medical issues only a spouse is allowed to take part in.
Hi, sweet Margy ! Give Jewels a big hug for us, please. What a stressful day she had yesterday. Sounds like you were busy every moment of your two days off--must feel good to have accomplished so much !
When a US Navy vessel arrives or departs from the military bases in Pearl Harbor, the crew of that ship lines up in dress uniform. They stand at attention at arm's length on the outer edges of the deck, in salute to the soldiers, sailors, and civilians who died on December 7, 1941. It is a stirring sight, and participants often list it among the most memorable moments of their military career.
God Bless Our Military, those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor, and all the families forever affected
I did get a lot done, Kay...actually, I can really tear into cleaning and organizing...just don't do it often enough...so everything tends to get away from me !
I have projects lined up for when I get home tonight.... and tomorrow, and so on ad infinitum
Good morning, Shirley ! Is Hunter all bright eyed and bushy tailed today ? Columbus schools are out today for one of those In Service days for teachers. What do teachers do on those days ?
Teachers usually get to go to class. Sometimes the newest methods of teaching are presented. Can be good and interesting stuff or can be not so good and interesting stuff.

Thank you, Steve, for the new thread! We love it!
Hello Thelma and thank YOU for the call over. I just love seeing that avatar of Buddy. :)
Thanks for the new thread, now here's what I just posted on the other! LOL!
hmm...I was referring to the radio giveaway of a $50 gift card this morning on Lori's show. I was asking Lori was it was for, because I missed in when they said it.
Loads of fun in kindergarten and not getting much accomplished academically today. We have had all kinds of things going on including our Pixie Shop. The children get to shop for their family and friends in a set up little store with all kinds of inexpensive treasures. This afternoon we get to see the dress rehearsal of the Christmas program and in between I've got a couple of crafts that need to be completed including the slippers for St. Nicholas Day. Hoping to finish those before lunch and hang them on the kids lockers to be filled while we are at the play. Busy, busy...
What kinds of toys Wanda? Maybe I can bring some stuff over on Sunday. I plan to meet Lori and Jo at the market. Of course I also plan to go see the nest again.
Buddy says, "thank you Lori." : ))
O boy..
chance to see new faces on this NEW THREAD !
Thanks Steve, and
Thanks T-Bird for the callover
Now, someone tell the EAGLES we are over here now waiting on them
Ooops, DanaMo, sorry, I took your comment about gift card out of context....
NOW I understand
Your Day sounds Wonderful !
Very Christmas-y!
Hi Lori, back home now, eh ??
YAY !
and today was your..."Thursday??"
with two word days off at the end of the week....??? ☺
WORK days not Word Days....sorry
T-Bird...are you going to be holding down the "critter" fort while Sharon goes traveling ?
You all need to look up a Time magazine article on a man made built hummingbird meant to mimic a hummingbird's flight. It is the Nano Air Vehicle (NAV). It was built by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. KWL stuff.
Hello from the new thread!
Website for the live cam is down.
Sharon, you mean live feed? Or the website.....
I have live feed going... but nothing's going on...the clock is advancing....
others reported having problems earlier with it...
might want to re-try..?
As Lynn has said, that brown branch with white "bottom" at 5-6 pm sure looks like an eagle haunched over !!
Now I hear raindrops...
I'll try this computer again. This morning wrote a message and it all disappeared.
Rebotted and still wasn't working right so I just closer her down for awhile.
Hope this comes through. Hello to everyone. (:
"Hear" you loud and clear, DanaWV ☺
Good Afternoon.....
with you traveling a good bit at night from your Mom's and back, aren't you seeing some beautiful Holiday Lights !!
figured out yesterday once I get OUT of my pajamas, and INTO real cloathes aka bib overalls...I get a lot more done...
mission accomplished...
disappearing into the projects now...
xo ♥ ttfn
I'm looking for Jo...
Hi Jo in Advance....
I hear mail now might be going to Baltimore before heading to Frederick....no more of those "overnight mail" deliveries from here to there, possibly :(
mail gets to Annandale in a day, and also to Massachusetts! But it takes several days to get to Fredericksburg...
'okay bye now
********************
GOOD MORNING &
HAPPY CHRISTMASTIDE

I think he took off Lori.
Good Afternoon Everyone! Kristen just
left and then I was on a long phone call.
I will need to go to previous thread
BBILW
Heading up the road to Institute and then Scott Depot. Will check in later. Love you all!
Is the deer leg on the right side of the nest now?
I think that is it, Paula. Guess it is going to be a permanent fixture! lol
I'm home and getting caught up, slowly but surely! TIRED!!!! May need a nap before I get far! Had a great time! Good fellowship and food.....everything turned out perfectly! 66 showed up!!
Hi, Everyone,
Caught up just a bit on the blog. Lolly,
Prayers for your friend Harriet, for her surgery, and for strength during the chemo treatments. God bless her health!
Margy,
Thanks for the St. Nick's Day info!
Fascinating!
Sharon,
No WAY you starved your Daddy to death! I'm glad you know that's not true! (((HUGS)))!! Enjoy Andrew's concert (I know you will)!! LOVE the Train "Shake Up Christmas"!
WV Dana, I'm CERTAIN that Ed is smiling down on you for donating his clothes to the Clothes Closet!
Prayers continue for Linda, her Mom, and the entire family, as Mom's Promotion Day draws nearer. Love you, Linda! (((HUGS)))!!!
Well, Miss Emma is begging for some lap time, so guess I'd better go for now. Will check back in later! :o]
Safe travels, Shar......roads wet down your way, too??? Tell Andrew the Momsters say HI and break a leg!
Okay, caught up on this thread!
Margy, I think the local processing center closes come March.....then everything will go to Baltimore. :(
A friend brought me what I THINK is a Christmas Cactus......you all know my brown thumb. Any tips???? Guess I'll have to look it up on the 'net.....but figure so many of you are plant experts, that I'll start with you!
saying prayers for Looly's friend, Harriet. Sounds like she has the right attitude!!! And it's okay to be a little fearful of the unknown---as in chemo! TG I know what to expect! I remember that fear!
Caught up.....gee, you all were quiet while I was gone!
hearing the happy sounds of children,
AND some knocking around near the cam....
Sounds great, Lynn....Bravo !
Prayers for your friend,Harriet, Lolly...I had jumped to the new thread after T-Birds's New Thread alert and never went backwards...
see a couple of Eagle and poof messages back there from early afternoon
Hello Eagle Pals !
Lynn - Journal Junction comment from a 30-year veteran mail carrier, that's what I saw....
I agree, I thought it would not be until Springtime at least
How is Charlie ??? and Carolyn
Glad to read Andy is getting her computer things figured out also~ Big month for all that kind of stuff..
Now to wait on JudyE
Yeo, I'd say the old "deer leg" has found its most comfortable spot at the edge of the nest cup area, in about the 2 o'clock spot
Shep moved it the other day, and Belle moved it right on back to where it is now.
I'm still on cloud 9 since this mornings shout out by Loo and Lori! ☺
Home at last, the day went really fast! 2 down 8 to go!
SIL is home from the hospital. Only thing Carolyn knows so far is that his red blood count is elevated----probably from a new pain med Dr. gave him last week. Thanks for prayers!!!
Yeah, Margy...the Frederick processing center went to Baltimore on Nov. 19th. Article in the Herald about the changes.
Thank God I had the sound up I heard Shep fly into the nest.
And out they go! One and then the other.
5:07 SHEP JOINS BELLE,THEY BOTH LOOK AROUND MOVE TO RAIL, BELLE FLIES OUT AND SHEP FOLLOWS. END OF VISIT 5:09
BTW BELLE WAS ALREADY IN THE NEST WHEN I OPENED THE WINDOW SO I DIDN'T SEE HER FLY IN BEFORE THE 5:07 MARK
I only knew they were there because I heard the flapping of Shep's wings as he flew into the nest.
Giving in to the nap urge. BBL.
I saw them both come in at what looked like the same time so I might have missed the first in and out, DanaMo
was perched on a stepstool washing windows so I did't climb down
Glad you Saw them !
Me too Lynne
I wish I had heard the Call out from Loo and Lori !
but, I didn't....
How Exciting, though, for you Dana, and any other school personnel and friends listening !!
I WAS fixin' to take a nap but then pushed on to do the windows...
still have several more to do, but not now that it's too dark outside to see if I'm getting them right
Glad Charlie is home, Lynn, and hope that he feels better soon...if not already
Shirley:
Your bowling ball is running amok upstairs here....
HELP !!
back to doing, some of many things laid out all around...
bbl Have a Nice Evening !
xo ♥
I started dinner, so no nap for me yet. Maybe after we eat.
Good afternoon/ Good evening.
LINDA PRAYERS continue fo ryou and your MOM.
Three short visits by one or the other of the eagles and then by both...I am glad you saw them this afternoon.
Good Christmas Luncheon. Conversations were good and the food also. Nice decorations and we were all in cheer and a sense of gratitude.
Next one tomorrow after Yoga...
Another Choral Recital now on Friday as a Fund Raiser for the Grans.
LYNN, Did you enjoy your luncheon and was everyoone being sociable?
Yes, Hoda, I did enjoy it very much, and yes, we were a socaible bunch!!!! My glasses kept getting messed up from all the hugs!!!
okay so I'm ready to go to the couch but the Flying Labs are all on the same couch leaving no room for me! Someone is going to have to move!
Home again Home again that's me.
Lolly prayers for your friend Harriet.
Lynn glad the dinner went well.
Prayers continue for Linda and Mother and family, Kris, Charlie and Carolyn and family.
I seen where someone told Sharon "to break a leg"....No No please don't say that not even in kidding with that gal lol
Interstate 81 was ok but Rt 901 was foggy.
Shirley I use to be in a bowling league years back. There wasn't nothing said about standing there watching your ball go down the alley to hit the pins then leaving the area. I don't think things have changed over the years that much. Plus when I gone and watched them bowl they still stand there until the ball hits the pins.
Focus on the "eye winker" lol
Checking in from Scott Depot. Heading to the concert now.
Mema Jo I finally got to see the Bragg Bunch. Very nice picture of them. I tried this morning but for some reason it wouldn't let me see them.
DanaWV oh FB there is a whole album of them - just click on the album name
All of them are photographic.
Chili and cornbread for dinner. Yummy
I am going to watch Hallmark movie 8-10
Then Flashpoint has a new show on at 10
Sharon - don't pop too many buttons!
I know you are going to be sooooooo
proud of your son! Maybe a pic or two
Andy I see you got a laptop I have windows 7 and I like it. Don't update to windows 9. Someone in blog did and it was a mess. They went back to windows 7. Enjoy the speeding lol
Bowling Instructions: Release the ball
onto the alley - Stand there very still
& watch and pray you get a strike or a
spare! Pray that you don't get a split.
Once the pins fall - feel free to turn and go back to your chair with your team.
Sounds like the other team giving you
advice must bowl so fast and never watch
what they are doing - especially NOT having any fun!
Did you hear? Yang Bo, Tian Tian's momma, has passed away in China. :(
It is just a few minutes after sunset and the skies are clear and the moon is up. BEAUTIFUL. It just cleared the eastern mountain range close to the flat...I can see it from my front window...It is going to be a crisp night out there...
Fog is so heavy you could cut it with a knife, but MOON is shining through it a bit!
Lynn that is why I did not wait till later like usual to leave Mothers. I could till I was going to hit fog. Yeppers need a knife to cut it with.
I am not suppose to tell anyone. I took my walker into Mother this evening. Hands is still bothering her but it went into her foot now.
Left hand had swollen the other day and went down. Yesterday her left foot swelled...is gone down but like a stone bruise on bottom of heel. She just keeps on ... I pray I can do that if I make it to her age. We did have some laughs together in there this evening. Good to see her laugh. ♥♥
Wanda we are just going to have to put a prayer list in for those kiddies at the Soup Kitchen for the 13th.
Finally found Lolly's comment about friend Harriet on the previous thread....
Evening, all!
I missed the after 5 visit...darnit!
Lynn,
I could go for another fog delay tomorrow morning. So far, no fog here and we didn't get any rain today either, though it was predicted. DanaMo - love the sweater! =) If I wore a Christmas sweater like that to my middle school, my 8th grade girls would laugh me right out of the hallway! Sorry I missed the eagles all day today - checked in a few times but the nest was always empty - oops, make that MT!
Going to go check to see if I can see Good Wife that I missed.
Check in later.
If I wouldn't get here: Prayers for Linda and her Mother and family, Charlie and Carolyn, Harriet, Kris, any and all with a prayer need for God knows who you are. Prayers for Gods creatures big and small.
Prayers that Sharon does not "break a leg" but does enjoy Andrew's directing music. PROUD MOTHER (:
Oh Margy you haven't said. How is things going with the two James and Pringles?
Shoot, forgot to check the box to email follow-up comments to my email. Seems like I have to do that each time there's a new thread, am I correct?
Sandi, I think that is correct!
Wonder how JudyE is doing?
Facebook has pic from Sharon of Andrew (back row) at the choral concert.
Hi there Sandi -
I am headed to a Hallmark movie and
I will return during commercials to check out things..... ♥
I think there's a new episode of Glee on tonight so I'm off to the living room!
Michael Buble' show coming on on NBC!
Hey Jo, Megan has your wreath on FB!!
Well that little snooze didn't really cut it, I'm ready for bed! Boy have I been tired lately.
Watching Michael Buble Christmas show. Second time I have seen him. I am starting to really like him. Girls just went nuts cause he had Justin Beeler on.
He is dedicating I'll Be Home For Christmas to the soldiers and those coming home and those still there.
It says he has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Where have I been??? lol
If the skies clear enough, the Moon is pretty close to another bright object: Jupiter !
Sounds like Facebook is the Place to Be tonight ☺
far as I know, DanaWV, James and Big James and Pringles are doing well....I can't go visit this week since I have the beep beep beeper, am on call...
Waaaaaaah! Big Time. But I'll see them Saturday after work and then I can tell you more
Hello Evening Eagle Pals...xo ♥
Facebook.... and television...!!
but Tubby is the Place for Me...
see you all after I get squeaky clean
xo
oh, found out last night that Tom Sweetie [upstairs] also once had a Pomeranian Mix...possibly with a Corgi...when he lived out on the West Coast...
she lived 15 years, her name was Punkin
This is a short "fly by". Hope everyone is safe and warm. Lynn, glad you had fun today.
Jo, your family is really a good looking bunch!
WVGal Dana, your unselfishness with Ed's stuff will benefit so many people. Thank you.
Lolly, thinking of your friend.
Linda, i have heartache for you and your Mom. I know it is terribly exhausting for both of you. You have suffered a lot of tragedy this year. Will be thinking of you, your Mom and family.
And to those i have not commented, magpie, and paula and sandi, et al.....thinking of you too!
Evening all! Just popping in to say hello!
getting ready to crash....
Brother Cat had to go to work with me today. He's fine, just needed his depo injection for his IBD. My coworker took some pictures and posted them on my FB wall...he is singing! He sang all day. ALL DAY. I tried to adopt him out but no one wanted him. LOL!
70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor tomorrow....
Well, gotta run. Sure do miss having time to chat with you all :(
Good night and prayers for all!
Quiet night here.....watching NCIS: LA. Liesl is in bed. Still foggy---not raining.
Wishing Judie would chime in. And DIann, too...and, of course, our Lynne-ie! Lolly should be getting home soon.
Ha---should have refreshed---there's Lynne! Have you talked to the in-laws? SNOW coming their way, for sure.
Need to go listen to Bro Cat!
Oh, not a video....just cute pics!!!
Suzan, are you getting rain?
yes Lynn, they are going to be getting some SNOW! We may get some too late tomorrow! Hopefully AFTER I get home!
Is Caro's hubby OK????
DUH! Just realized that NCIS is a repeat! Gee, only took 55 minutes. I'm good, aren't I?? CRS disease.
We don't know, Lynne. They released him while Caro was at work. Only thing he told her before they had a fight was that his red cell count was high, supposedly due to a new pain med. ARGH! Men!
Sounding now like we won't get enough of the white stuff to matter----hoping that is the case.
Prayers for Peace "on the mountain," Lynn
Hello Suzan, and Lynne...
Always good to see you ☺
It's foggy, warm and humid here, and the Slugs are having their lasts flings for the season.....
Blimey, Slimey !!
:(
Hoda
when you return:
Sounds like you are having some rousing luncheons this week...
sure makes for a Merry Season, I would say ☺
Lynn,
where WAS your luncheon held today? I forget or never knew...
Suzan, if you are still around...how are YOU doing....?
Was it shoulder that was bothering you? Sorry I cannot always remember who has what ailment
Lynn, FIGHT??? Why a fight? I haven't read back...
(just popping back after shower! MIS YOU GUYS!)
Lynne
When I went to my storage bins Monday....there were LOTS of stink bugs, I was shaking all the stuff out, still haven't brought it in off the front porch yet....
well, a few things I did ...
Yucko !
OH NO!!! That STINKS Margy....I found a bunch this past weekend in my file box as I was reorganizing. Well, I guess on the bright side, they weren't roaches....
If anyone would like some seeds from James's New England Asters, let me know! I am deadheading them this week, but they are still going pretty strong
You can tell me on here or email
Yep, that IS on the bright side, Lynne....
I have earwigs here from time to time, as ugly as, but not so bad as, roaches or stinkbugs
:(
Glad to know that Sharon is at Scott Depot [WV] now...for Andrew's concert, and has a few days to spend with him, with another concert coming up.
Now THAT makes for some Merry Christmas spirit !
OOOOOO save some for me Margy!
OK, really gotta go hit the pillow and make some "Mr. Heat Miser hair"!
Hope to check in from work tomorrow...
Worktime in the morning, so someone I know has to get some shut-eye....
Thinking of everybody, seen and unseen...
If someone a little later on would set the NIGHT LIGHTS that would be helpful....The Sandperson seems to make the rounds regardless
Prayers for Wellness, Comfort, and Peace....in ALL our Eagle Corners
across the Planet
Good Night, Precious Pals
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
order received and will be filled, Lynne....
Good Night now..
xo Hello to Steve also...xo
Hi, Everyone,
Sleep tight, Margy!
Still haven't completely caught up here, and probably never will. Hope I haven't missed anything important!
Emma fell asleep in my lap earlier. I fell asleep with her in my lap. We enjoyed our mutual nap!
Prayers continue for Linda, her Mom, and the entire family; for Charlie and Carolyn, Kris, and for Harriet.
Thelma, I saw an article about the man-made hummingbird. Pretty amazing!
Gosh, we still had mild Santa Ana winds here today, and I think that's why our gardeners didn't show up. Wish they had called to say they weren't going to be here. I think they probably had to take much longer with each yard because of massive amounts of leaves to pick up. Hopefully they will be here tomorrow. The winds have died down now.
Well, think I'm going to call it a day. Have said prayers for everyone, and for every creature. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Sleep tight, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]
Margy, we have our annual luncheon at the Holiday Inn. One of our retirees' daughter's is the head of Hospitality, so she takes really good care of us!
Lynne, Charlie just hollered at Carolyn badly and hung up on her when she was driving home, and hadn't spoken to her before she went to bed. She has to be at work at 4am for a 12 hr. shift.
P.S.--Lynn, you are ALWAYS on my prayer list! (((HUGS)))!!!
Lynne2 & Steve, you are too! Hope you will be able to visit on your days off, Lynne! Miss you! (((HUGS)))!!
Stopping to say good night. Haven't read everything. Hope everyone is well.
God bless and good night.
Good evening and Good night very soon
Went over to FB WOW Megan really made
me a gorgeous wreath for my home. I love it & I love Megan too ♥
Brother Cat! Whoo Hoo Now he is
something else - he sure had everyone's
attention. He has good teeth! Very good
pics, Lynne...
Andy, do you have your report templates all set on the new puter so that you are still working???
How is Jay doing, by the way?? And how is ??Dan?? doing? Sorry if I have the name wrong.
Shirley, I'll tell you tomorrow what Bill said about the bowling.
Calling it a day here, too. Hope you all have a restful nnight. Prayers for all, but especailly for Linda, her Mom and the family. Hope they are all finding peace....and sharing the love.
I watched the Hallmark movie
I loved it because I loved the actors.
My guy Mac from CSI:NY had the lead!!
Lynn, I hope you watched Flashpoint.
Really really tense!
It's been a good day - rain and all.
Glad I got my Kristen Morning today.
My neighbor who had his hip replacement came home today - hubby went down to help him into the house but he was going good on his own with a walker. I know he is happy to be home. They did have a hospital bed delivered so he will be able to get in and out easily.
I am praying for Linda to stay strong.
There were good words being said concerning the Grand Promotion and it is comforting to think that way.
I did have an email from Judie --- FYI
"Have, indeed, been overtaken by the work to end the semester. Tired would be an understatement."
She'll be with us as soon as things at
school slow down a bit.
Very happy Sharon got us a picture of Andrew in Concert and
Likewise that Lolly got us a picture of
Joseph with his cello in concert.
Enough said before I do one of Wanda's face plants!
Good Night & God Bless Everyone
& their loved ones & their critters
Prayers for our needs and also for
our Thankfulness for our blessings
Hugs for everyone ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I will say good night too. It sounds things are well with our day in sharing and staying present to all the events in our lives.
PRAYERS to LINDA'S MOTHER as she transitions.
HEALING PRAYERS continue for LYNN.
Prayers also for all who were mentioned on the blog today...
GOD'S BLESSINGS to ALL.
It seems most of us have been too busy today to spend very much time on here. I guess it is that TIME OF YEAR! So much to do and so little time and energy to do it.
Heading for facebook to see if my daughter has made it back home yet from OBX...then headed to bed.
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS AND LOVE FOR ALL
Hi all! We be home! Had a fun evening. I was cooking dinner and Jack was helping Jacob with homework when Laurel got home. She wants us to move in with her so it is like that when she comes home every evening. lol
Then we went to the orchestra concert. This particular orchestra teacher teaches at two elementaries as well as one high school. So, we listened to the 5th grade orchestra made up to two elementaries that had never played all together. They did great! Then we listened to the three different groups from the high school. Amazing how great they are after just a few years.
We were proud of Joseph. They are told to sit on the edge of their chairs and sit up straight. He did great...his posture was wonderful. He has always been one who follows directions very well!
Heading to the shower now and then on to bed.
Night all! Sweet dreams!
Heading to light a candle..prayers for Lynn, Linda, and Harriet.
Hmmm.. my post is floating around cyberspace.
Anyway, good tidings to everyone and a restful night.
God bless!
Good Morning Early Birds!
Helloooooo DanaMooooooooe! I hope we get JudyE back with us this morning.
Good morning!! Thanks to all of you for the prayers for the hubby. He seemed fine this morning before I headed to work for a 12 hr shift. ugh, trying to stay awake here!!
G☼☼d M☼rning gL☺ri ! By gosh, by golly it's nice to start the day off with you n' Loo ! I love "Adult Comtemporary" Christmas music !
Good Morning Jewels and Kay!
Merry, Merry, Kay!!!
((((Big First of the Morning Hug))))
Jewels, I can't believe he's going to work after being in the hospital.
Oh, I see, YOU are going to work.
Duh, and I'm supposed to be awake!
Jewels, thanks for checking in. You had a horrible day yesterday, but sounds like things are better today. Prayers for Charlie to continue !
Lynn, what a wonderful turn out for your luncheon. Big relief for you after all your hard work.
This is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. 70 years ago today and the numbers of vets involved now dwindling. I was not quite 5 years old and have vivid memories of my parent's angst over that fateful day. Mother's brother was a Marine and in the Pacific campaign. Turned out he was in Guam at the time, thank God.
Boy, howdy, that hug felt good ! Thank you, Lori, dear !
Julie and I went to our "Food Pantry" fund raiser last night. Oh, my, what a feast. about 10 eateries donated the food and presented their signature dishes. I counted 25 tables of 8 and a couple of tables seating about 14 each. Very few empty chairs, so about 225 people in attendance. At $50 a head it's going to add a nice chunk of change for the care of the needy ! Great Christmas music by a pianist and a sax player and lots of good conversation at the table where Julie and I landed. This is the 4th year for this event and our first at a hall in a nearby Catholic Church. We outgrew a wonderful little restaurant down the street ! Yeah !
Lori, I'm staying tuned for your report on bedbugs ! Ohio is the bedbug capitol it seems. Infestations have been found in hotels, hospitals, schools....One of my neighbors fought them off with the help of an exterminator about a year and a half ago. Turned out to be no threat to my condo as bedbugs are said to travel horizontally and only the condo beneath theirs was in jeopardy and treated, too. They think they came in on luggage after a vacation. Ugh, makes me itch to recall that anxious time here !
Good morning...late for me just got up 10 minutes ago which means no leisurely morning for me!
Jewels I am glad your dh seems to be doing better. I'm sure it was a very scary experience. Prayers for both of you.
Lori can I say again how much you made our day yesterday? I'm going to, you made our day yesterday, you rock!
Morning Kay, sounds like a great fundraiser! wow. It's always nice when something like that grows from year to year.
Oh Kay, the Food Pantry fund raiser sounds wonderful! Can't ask for more than that. Everyone is going to, organizing, or part of some pretty great charity events and get-togethers this season.
Jewels, you poor thing. You've had a crummy week. ((Big Hug)) :)
D-MO! Good Morning! I'm glad you got such a kick out of your shout-out. Funny how little kids, young and old at heart love the Christmas music! I wish we would play more of the hymns, Silent Night, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, etc. Okay, everyone, what's your favorite traditional Christmas song? I think mine is It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.
Hi DanaMo ! Wish I'd been in on that shout out to your class yesterday ! How special that was ! Got a kick out of Sandi's comment on what would happen if she wore that sweater to the middle school.☺ I have a friend in her first year of retirement after 30+ years of teaching Kindergarten in Holland, MI. She was noted for wearing bright colors and duds that appealed to kids of that age, but made others kind of shake their heads !
I think it would be Away in the Manager
Can hear the rain on the cam.
You picked a good traditional Christmas song, Lori. I'm going with ♫♫ Joy to the World ♪♫ as a big fav here. O, Holy Night a close second.
Funny thing is our 8th graders love my sweaters. I hope that doesn't sound like I am bragging or against public school, but our kids really are different. The environment is totally different. I am by no means saying they are angels, but there is a certain naiveness or innocence around them. I don't know if I'm saying it right. And I don't mean to offend anyone so I hope that I don't come off that way.
Morning all. Sounds like rain at the nest, though I can't see a thing. Raining here in Bethany - no fog delay! =(
Morning Sandi. Rain in H-town. Not heavy just drizzle. They are calling for snow tonight. Not sure how that's going to happen, it's 54 degrees right now. I rather keep the 54 degrees myself.
Joy to the World, is a GREAT one, Kay. I may have to change my vote.
Good Morning, Sandi!
DanaMo - no worries. FloBear is perfect and I don't mind who knows it! LOL
DanaMo, Not offended in the least! Must be nice to be in a school w/ 8th graders who aren't already becoming cynical and jaded. Must be a nice feeling to have your daughter going to school in that environment as well! Public schools can be dangerous places for adolescents these days, and I'm not talking about drugs or weapons! I'm talking words!
ROTFLMAO!! It is wonderful have a perfect "kid" Lori! Love it!
Let it snow! How perfect! LOL! We are suppose to get some here in Hagerstown. I don't believe it, and I won't count on it! It will be the talk in the teachers room today.
My husband always says I can't protect them forever, but I say I can sure as hell try!
Both Aric and Andrew got a rude awakening at Catholic colleges with the drinking and sex and that is fine that they get hit with it at that point. And I know it's at Goretti, I'm not stupid, I know what I did, but I can try to keep them in that bubble for as long as possible.
Hey, Sandi, nice to "see" you. I know you were hoping for another fog delay, but kinda glad that potentially dangerous threat has gone away !
Dana, back when I was a kid nuns were the teachers at parochial schools. Many a comedian has used their Cathlic upbringing and authoritarian nuns for their stock and trade ! Are there fewer nuns in teaching now and if so, I wonder why ???
Oops, that should be Catholic upbringing, of course !
Lori, were you teasing about an upcoming report on bedbugs or did I miss it ?
Kay, you may have missed it. Here it is:
Researchers now say bedbugs are able to inbreed with close relatives and still produce healthy offspring. That means that if just a few bedbugs survive in a building after treatment, they repopulate quickly. It helps explain why they're so hard to eliminate.
The new research was presented yesterday in Philadelphia at the
annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and
Hygiene.
Bedbugs are wingless, reddish-brown insects that bite people & animals to draw blood for their meals. Though their bites can cause
itching and welts, they are not known to spread disease.
Researchers also say they found many different strains of bedbugs throughout the East Coast, meaning they're coming into the country from lots of different places.
There are very few nuns teaching now. That lifestyle just isn't something girls want to do today. Hardly any sisters in the communities (convents) now. We have one Sr. who just turned 85 she works in library and another who just turned 73 and she is the kindergarten aide (I took her job when kindergarten when full day and she didn't want any part of it). There are no nuns at Goretti. It's really why Catholic schools are so expensive now. Back in the day tuition was very low because nuns didn't get paid (or very little). So it didn't cost anything to run the school, no salaries or very little. It's sad, but it's the way of the world. Being a virgin, being "poor", being single, giving their life to God and the church just not what girls want today.
I think it's why we have a shortage of priest as well. And I personally don't think it should change ie..priests getting married. I don't think that is the answer and I don't think they should, but I am VERY old fashion.
Ew...bedbugs. I always worry about them with Monte traveling so much. I tried to get him travel sheets after he got "ringworm" (I think that's what it was) but he didn't want to so I didn't get them.
Thanks, Lori ! Here's hoping none of Kendra's survived in this building.
And, thanks to you Dana. Your explanation of the decline in nuns makes a lot of sense. I guess there are fewer men entering the priesthood as well. As you say, "the way of the world".
Well it sounds like the showers are free I better get dressed. Be back in a few.
Ring the bell if the eagles appear. ☺
Time to go pick a Christmas sweater for today! LOL!
Dana, I hope Monte does a thorough check of the bedding when checking into a hotel. "They" say, if you find the critters in the bed ask for a room change to a different area of the hotel or two floors removed. And, they say not to set luggage on the floor or bed, only on a rack or dresser. We can all be just so careful as they can be carried in on clothing to any place people gather---waiting rooms, etc.. Thank goodness they don't carry disease and they don't actually bite everyone. My neighbor got the clue when she was chewed up with bites. They didn't bite her spousal equivalent at all !
Kay, have you ever seen "The Chew" on ABC daytime? Yesterday the guys wore Christmas vests - very funny. DanaMo talking about a Christmas sweater reminded me of it.
"Spousal Equivalent," I love it! You're too funny, Kay. Great advice, too!
No, Lori, I've not seen The Chew. The only daytime program I ever turn on is The View and then I only stay for Hot Topics. I have no trouble sitting on my duff for hours at this computer, but refuse to sit in front of the boob tube before the evening news. ☺
Good Morning Eagle Pals...I see Kay, Sandi, Lori, DanaMo....
Jewels...so far
I'll See Jewels FOR REAL in about 80 mnutes...
AND some light approaching the nest
Yes, raining hereabouts...
and we wouldn't mind seeing Shep and Belle as well !!
I can't take credit for "spousal equivalent"---that used to be Joy Behar's term for her Steve. They've been together for 20 or 30 years and just married a couple of months ago. She explains that as they grew older they worried about those medical issues only a spouse is allowed to take part in.
Good Morning, Margy! Yep, Jewels beat you to the blog this morning. :)
Hi, sweet Margy ! Give Jewels a big hug for us, please. What a stressful day she had yesterday. Sounds like you were busy every moment of your two days off--must feel good to have accomplished so much !
From Our Daily Bread :
When a US Navy vessel arrives or departs from the military bases in Pearl Harbor, the crew of that ship lines up in dress uniform. They stand at attention at arm's length on the outer edges of the deck, in salute to the soldiers, sailors, and civilians who died on December 7, 1941. It is a stirring sight, and participants often list it among the most memorable moments of their military career.
God Bless Our Military, those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor, and all the families forever affected
Well said Margy !
I sure will deliver those hugs and that love to Jewels....
in fact, not 80 minutes from now, more like 60!
if she clocked in at 0400, then it means someone is off...sick, or emergency leave....
It's the Season....
I did get a lot done, Kay...actually, I can really tear into cleaning and organizing...just don't do it often enough...so everything tends to get away from me !
I have projects lined up for when I get home tonight....
and tomorrow, and so on ad infinitum
Nest is going to get wet and soggy today for sure...and so are the eagles
Keep in mind, the SPLIT is coming in less than 20 posts....we'll be there before we realize it....
so Don't Get Lost !
speaking of bed bugs...
SCABIES is a real problem...hits the daycares and such and it is a huge undertaking to fix the problem...
WOOF !!!
I have to go get lost and get dressed....
will be back one last time before I leave...
Meanwhile...
Best Wishes for a Good, Safe, Healthy and Joyful Day, Everyone...
xo ♥
It has been raining here all night.
The dogs sure didn't want to go outside. It's funny how they can hold it longer if it means going out in the rain. : )
Eeewwww. Scabies. Haven't heard of a case of that in years, but I'll take your word that it's still a problem, Margy !
I enjoyed reading more about Tom Sweetie and his past, by the way !
Let me refrain that, all except for Buddy. He woke me up at 5:30.
So I've been watching this morning and I see I haven't missed a visit yet, right?
Are you guys expecting snow, too, T-Bird?
Good morning!
Rain, rain, rain.
Water everywhere.
They say there will be snow later, but maybe not much here.
Hello, dear Thelma ! You are so right about dogs and rain ! Sorry to hear our Ohio rains found their way to y'all !
No Belle and/or Shep visit so far.
Just read your post, Thelma.
I know what you mean . . .
Luna just looked at me and said that she would pee later. Maybe tomorrow.
Hunter finally convinced her to go out.
I could not even get her near the door. She said that she knew it was raining and she does not like rain.
Good morning, Shirley ! Is Hunter all bright eyed and bushy tailed today ? Columbus schools are out today for one of those In Service days for teachers. What do teachers do on those days ?
Luna is the princess.
In-service days . . .
Teachers usually get to go to class.
Sometimes the newest methods of teaching are presented. Can be good and interesting stuff or can be not so good and interesting stuff.
Got my Santa shoes on and my red vest with Christmas puppies on it! Ready for a day in kindergarten!
Maybe I will wear my Santa hat too! Had my antlers on yesterday, but they get annoying after a while.
