THANKS STEVE FOR THE NEW THREAD and Thanks LORI for the call over

Lori O. said...

I just posted pictures on my blog of the basket I finished making last night, with a little help from FloBear!

Lynne2 said...

Good evening everyone!

OMG I didn't mean to disappear last night but I had a minor problem. Was laying on my side on the bed playing with Daisy and she wacked at my face with her paw. And I jerked away, and REALLY hurt my back in doing so. Couldn't get up, leg fell asleep, had to call Steve up to help me...much pain. UGH!!!

Better today though. And what a GORGEOUS day for the first day of my 51st year! There is a very confused crocus blooming out front, mosquito, moths, flies and a BAT flying around the yard at sunset!!

Lynne2 said...

Lori, the basket is beautiful, and can I borrow Flobear to massage MY back?? LOL! And WOOOOOPS, how did I miss the new little kitty pictures? So cute!

Geesh I sure miss a lot of what's going on these days....

hedgie said...

Just had Liesl out and heard lots of honking. Couldn't see anything....guess it could have been geese or tundra's...

Thanks for the call over, Lori!

Kay, enjoy your time with Seth. Dinner sounds good!!

Lori, can't wait to see your basket. You are so very creative!

Hoda, hope your tea warms your bones, but a nice bath would help, too! I already had mine!! Now to figure out what to fix for dinner here. I'm kind of thinking of a grilled PB&J! Might hit the spot.
MTBD! Will check the freezer first for inspiration.

hedgie said...

Oh, Lori, I love it! Very pretty!
FB is a cool guy!
So glad that the adoption is pending for Leroy, and that new kid's quarantine ends soon!

JudyEddy said...

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Steve for the new thread.

Thanks very much for typing NEW THREAD!!!

Back home and very tired.

Hoda loved what your wrote about Tao of Pooh.

Mema Jo thank uyou for the update on Tori. PRAISES GO TO OUR LORD. Please God continue to help Tori improve so she can get that new lung Father. Be with Robyn as she being a Mom has to go through this rough time.

Of for heavens sakes let the cranes and pilot go so they can follow him and migrate to Florida.
Pay him as a janitor.

wvgal_dana said...

Thank you Lynn for the Jewel's Bear Cam. They will get it fixed and we will be ready.

Lynne2 said...

well now, I will answer the phone even for a number I don't recognize if Steve is out and about...just in case his own cell phone isn't charged or something and he's using someone elses to reach me.

wvgal_dana said...

@JudyEWhose birthday did you not post?

Lynne2 said...

OOOOOO Jewel's Den cam is back up!

Lynne2 said...

I hear voices!

Hoda said...

OH MY!!! A fourth fatality due to avalanches in British Columbia...This time a party of US skiers got caught in an avalanche in Golden BC and one person died. No names or states have been released...it happened an hour ago!!!

Hoda said...

WVDANA, yesterday JANET had a birthday. She is JUDYE'S sister...

OK LYNNE what voices are you hearing and what are they saying??? I am slightly concerned!!! Is this a sign of your aging? LOL

JudyEddy said...

WANDA you have me rolling all over the floor laughing at your comment on the video
Does anyone know of a specialist that can come and check out the brain damage that Shep has (referring to Wanda statement of "Dumb bird...when Belle beat him up, back in the Spring, she may have caused brain damage;) " and I hope it isn't in his genes to pass on the the bobble head

You too LORETTA having warm weather How is work by the way?

The do not call list does not apply to the accts you may have like a credit card that is what I was told

WOW four visit by the eagles today That is tooo cool they have learned to show up all times of the day that way we all can get a turn seeing them LOL and I wonder why they stay sometime a long time and sometime a sec or two

JudyEddy said...

ok back to the news commercial are tooo short LOL

hedgie said...

Hurray! Jewel is live! And restless! I don't remember whether she is preggers or not.

JudyEddy said...

WVDana My sisters Janet

JudyEddy said...

OK what (a bear) and where is the Jewel Den cam I went and looked for a link on the blog and can't find it can someone repost and thanks in advance Shame about the Jordan cam being down

JudyEddy said...

I have got caught up again I knew I could do it with the news on if any think important came up I just listened I can do two thing at once HAHA Now I need to figure out what I want to eat and do I want to go get it or not too many decisions BBL going out I guess to find food in 10 min after the news is done

Sandi said...

Back from Blackwater! I didn't see one eagle!!! I SAW 12 DIFFERENT EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow just doesn't begin to cover the experience, but that's what I kept saying over and over! On 2 different occasions, I was able to hear an eagle calling to another eagle (b/c of listening to our cam, I know what they sound like)! The only thing I didn't get to see was an eagle in flight - maybe next time. Denny's zoom wasn't powerful enough to get pictures of many of the eagles we saw so I was only able to see some with the binoculars, but we saw them perched in trees, perched on an osprey platform, and even standing on a sandbar! Denny did get some beautiful pictures though! As soon as we get them uploaded, I'll post the link!

Happy to hear that there has been good news about Tori - if ever there's a group that knows how to send powerful prayers, it's this one!!

hedgie said...

Ended up eating pizza. My tummy finally is starting to feel more normal. So think I'll head for the sofa for some comfortable digestion.

Hope to hear more Tori news, Paula check-in, and how Sandi's BW adventure was.

Lynne2 said...

Ha ha ha Hoda! the voices were at the bear cam, and I heard some clunking around too. All quiet now.

Bear Cam

Lynne2 said...

OH SANDI!!! How exciting!!!! Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

Lori O. said...

Sandi, I had hoped for you to see ten eagles! TWELVE!!!! Amazing! I can't wait to see Denny's pictures. Hurry and post. LOL

JudyEddy said...

LYNNE thanks for the link My old link from last year to Lilly Cam didn't work I still haven't gone to get anything I think I will just have a everything bagel and cream cheese

JudyEddy said...

LORI where is your manners LOL Please hurry LOL

JudyEddy said...

#@%^&*@## only have enough cream cheese for a half a bagle Oh well I will eat it slowly so slow make it last HAHA waiting for the toaster to pop up takes forever when you are hungry

Lori O. said...

I know, JudyE! I was being obnoxious, but Sandi always says how she has no patience, so I thought she would get a giggle from it. :)

Judie said...

OMG! Carolyn is going to live in a den with a camera watching her every move? Oh WOW! That should be a real adventure -- for her and for us.

Seriously, I'm with Jo. Had to stop and think about NABC Jewel. Still laughing.

Hi Carolyn!

JudyEddy said...

I do love the Google this time tooo cute and I also loved the Adams family

JudyEddy said...

Well I am heading to the rockin chair for some TV time The nest looks so bright now I love it I am going full screen tooo I love that I want to get my tv hooked up to it that would be really nice BBL

Sandi said...

OK folks, hope the link works the first time and hope you like the pics!
Blackwater Photos

Judie said...

Thank you Steve for the new thread.

Kay, after I was released from the hospital and began therapy, the therapist was very gentle but learning to walk was still a little painful at first (not serious pain but discomfort). Suspect that is what you are having. It will get better and easier. You will be amazed.

Wish the best for LeRoy and for a purrfect match.

Hope you feel better Lynne2. Take it easy with the back, okay?

JudyE, glad your cold seems to be disappearing. Try to get lots of rest. Oh, there are many tests for retardation -- I'll look to see if there is one specially designed for STUPID EAGLE SYNDROME.

Hoda, so very sorry about another avalanche victim. Prayers for the victim and the family and friends.

Sandi, how very exciting for you today to see 12 eagles. This will be a forever memory.

Lynn, must be feeling a lot better to tackle pizza. Glad you're feeling better.

Bye

Mema Jo said...

I found you!
Thanks, Steve.

Watching Hallmark which I haven't seen before

Moon is sooooooooo bright!

Hurray for you Sandi!

hedgie said...

Oh, Sandi, so great to hear that you saw so many eagles. Just too bad that they didn't put on a show for you!!!! Really glad that you got to go!

Hoda said...

As I was looking at SANDI'S pictures it froze up the whole window and now I am unable to move after about eleven pictures...then it unfroze and I got to see till number twetny seven. THANKS SANDI very good sunset and yes I was able to spot the eagle in the tree in the first picture and I am appreciative of your sharing of yoru trip. Dennis took very good pictures and the colours are fantastic.

hedgie said...

Thanks for sharing Denny's pics, Sandi! Very nice!!!! The two in the tree shot was a good zoom! Cool about the snake skin. And I saw the smoke from the controlled burn they were talking about taking place this month.

Hi, Judie! ROFL about Carolyn in her den!!! How are you, and what's the latest on Darth??

NCSuzan said...

Sandi, loved the photos. What a great day for you and you man!

JudyEddy said...

SANDI beautiful pictures I watched in the slide show mode Loved it Loved the sunset pretty pretty ☼ Back to TV heard the email chime and had to check

Lynne2 said...

Great pictures Sandi! thanks for sharing. Eagles AND Tundra Swans!

Lori O. said...

AWESOME Sandi! Loved the pictures. So many different birds, would love to go there someday. Beautiful photos - thanks to Mr. Roberts!

Janet said...

lmao. you all have me cracking up. judy posted a great greeting on facebook and in my mail box was a card! lol. easy!

its been a great birthday weekend thus far....we went to carrabbaas tonight; pasta weese, sangria, and yummmmmmyyyyyy other stuff! so full i could just burst!

looks as if the tao of pooh was a bit of conversation. i think i mayhave to look up and get the te of piglet....hoda, have you read that one?

i think our nice weather is coming to an end in the next couple of days....but it sure has been nice here.....

hedgie said...

Sure is a shame that the night light doesn't light up our nest the way the moon does----like it's SUPPOSED to!

Hoda said...

THE TE OF PIGLET

In The Te of Piglet, a good deal of Taoist wisdom is revealed through the character and actions of A. A. Milne's Piglet. Piglet herein demonstrates a very important principle of Taoism: The Te--a Chinese word meaning Virtue--of the Small.



Well, it takes all kinds to make a mess.

The West is full of Tiggers--restless seekers of instant gratification, larger-than-life overachievers. The West idolizes them because they're Bouncy and Exciting. Maybe even a bit too exciting. And they're becoming more exciting all the time. It seems that it's no longer adequate to be a True Individual, or even a Hero; now one needs to be some sort of Superman, living an overinflated life punctuated (in true Tigger fashion) with exclamation marks. Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! This is the age of Supereverything--Superstar, Superathlete, Supercoach, Superpolitician, even Superbusinessman: Faster than a speeding ticket! More powerful than a profit motive! Able to lease tall buildings in a single day!

Tiggers are not necessarily what they seem, however. While they may appear to be self-propelled, they are in reality jerked this way and that by whatever appealing object or sensation catches their attention. And while Tiggers may appear energetic to the extreme, their love of ceaseless action and sensation is actually a form of spiritual laziness. Tiggers are not in control of their lives, as is clearly shown by their behavior.

Unfortunately, it is quite easy to be an impatient, inconsiderate, scatterbrained Tigger in a society that admires, encourages, and rewards impulsive behavior. Advertisements tell us to buy whatever-it-is and Spoil ourselves. An appropriate word, spoil. We deserve it, they say. (Maybe we do, but we'd like to think we're better than that.) Store layouts are carefully designed to encourage impulse buying. Movies, television shows, and magazines promote impulsive behavior of the most questionable kind, in the most flash-it-in-their-faces manner. Practically everything from hairstyles to lifestyles is endorsed as some sort of drug to be taken Now for Instant Relief. If you have this model of automobile, this style of clothing, this shape of girlfriend, or this sort of romantic entanglement, you will be happy. You will be loved. You will be Somebody. Those who can't have such things are doomed to frustration. Those who can have them are doomed to the inevitable disappointment. As Oscar Wilde put it, "In the world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants and the other is getting it." We are reminded of the old Persian curse: "May your every desire be immediately fulfilled."
In chapter twelve of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tse described what's wrong with Tigger's sensationalistic approach to life:

The five colors blind the eye.
The five tones deafen the ear.
The five flavors deaden the tongue.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.

Hoda said...

JANET I read The Te of Piglet but identified with The Tao of Pooh more

wvgal_dana said...

Judie said...

The sandperson has indicated this will be an early night and is anxious to get started on travels throughout The Land of Blog.

The night light has been set for 11:00pm for anyone who needs to arise in the darkness, is headed back the hallway, down to the tub, up the stairs, or wanders in from the West coast. Restful sleep for all and pleasant dreams, please.

Jewels said...

Lol, I sometimes think I live in a den with a bear!!! That was funny Judie!!! Hello to you all!!!!! Will def have to pull up that site and watch Jewel!!

Hoda said...

HAPPY NEW YEAR JEWELS. You have a great sense of humour...living in a den with a bear!!! I hope you are over your cold.

magpie said...

magpie said...

We also Un-Christmased the office today, and the Valentine's Day Tree is ready for more decorating....

magpie said...

magpie said...

oh bother! make that 90-SOME snowflakes, not 90-come

Jewels said...

Happy New Year!!! Well, hubby snores or growls like one!!! Lol!!!! And then the kids... Ahhh still got the cold. Can't seem to shake it... I pray this isn't my year for illness, as I feel like since Christmas, I have sick more than healthy..

magpie said...

oh gee, we don't have a 4-11 shift...Help! I've been keyboarding too long today !

Jewels said...

Oh, Margy, so sorry.... Booo, I am surprised I did bout get called in!!! Kinda happy bout that, since I have alot of cleaning to do and such. Sad the snowflakes are gone. They realy help cut down the glare of the lights! Ohh yes red flakes would be pretty!!

Jewels said...

4-11 , that might be fun!!! Lol!!

magpie said...

Noey said the same thing about the flakes, Jewels...

Lynne2
My New York Naturalist friend is one who had commented about the migration of the Tundra Swans happening later, I made a post awhile back, maybe that is what you saw.....he lives near Erie Pa and Lake Eric, but is in New York.
After Lynn posted earlier in the day about the honking she heard, I went out to have a peek from work, but saw nor heard, none.

think I shall go see Sandi's pictures, wow, how exciting this is going to be !

magpie said...

Jewels...we have a tentative plan for 4-12 tomorrow....
now, if no one else calls in, you should be safe not getting called in...

Jewels said...

Well id be ok if I did get called in for tommorrow.... Laundry is complete. Just not folded..Jessica's job for tomorrow! Are you having to work?

NatureNut said...

Good Evening Sports Fans. Looks like we've got a TX team (not Cowboys) moving up and Saints are ahead in their game! We're also clicking on Pres. Debates.
Altho it may be considered a summer dish, I fixed Greek pasta salad tonight and had it w/ham. The reason was that daughter bought big container of plain yogurt & I've been trying to use it in something!

magpie said...

Negative, I'm off for Sunday and Monday...maybe today was an "insurance move" on my part....I volunteered, Carolyn...


Sandi !!

Magnificent Pictures, what an excellent day you had at Blackwater.....
I love the heron pictures with the reflections in the water, also the sunset pictures, and of course the Eagle Photos !!! Bravo for your husband for changing his mind about going !!!

NatureNut said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNNE!!!!♥ Glad this was your day.
I had a wasp landing on my leg! Was wearing sweats, tho!

magpie said...

someone here needs a shampoo and a shower, hey, I live alone, it must be me...

always a good opportunity to slide a few prayers to the Master...

ttfn xoxo ♥
Hi Loretta !!

Lynne2 said...

OMG Loweeda...a wasp! It's been a crazy spring winter day!

Lynne2 said...

Watched a show on Animal Planet earlier called "My Cat From Hell". LOL!

Lynne2 said...

I'm heading to bed....hopefully going for a walk at Loch Raven in the morrow. Good night and prayers for all! Especially for Robyn and Tori tonight.

NatureNut said...

WOW, just saw Sandi's pictures of Blackwater! Tell Denny they are wonderful and you have to go back there!! LOL

magpie said...

Hedgie:
I love your quote from the old thread by Emily Dickenson....
profound....and comforting....

Lynne2 sorry about the face-scratching and the wrenching of your back...hope all is well tonight...and Hello to Steve !
appreciate your comment about your answering unknown number phone calls, makes good sense...
I do like some of the others....unknowns, and 800's I don't fool with, others I might "field" and throw out a line about expecting an important phone call and I can't talk, thanks anyway.....

magpie said...

missed you Lynne2, sorry...
:(

tubby is on hold...
I have a little prayer routine passed on to me by my late sister Katherine...
"Please, Thank you, and I'm Sorry."
Also have a wellness prayer that covers a lot of bases

Now it's tubby time

(( Hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

I usually do it in this order:
I'm Sorry, Thank You, and Please

Mema Jo said...

Sandi - your day was well spent. You and
Dennis saw all the different varieties
at the refuge. Sometimes a Fox can be sighted.

magpie said...

Oh, sorry...
Brother Fred's coming along aafter his knee surgery...he and wife are trying to decide about staying IN medical facility for therapy, or going home and having someone come to the house...
I am voting that he asks the doctor what his opinion is, and then goes with that....
Thanks for all the well-wishes, pals....xoxo

Mema Jo said...

Hi from PA to Pa

stronghunter said...

I like to think we live in a very large tree with branches reaching from a kibbutz in Israel to a home in Kidderminster, across the pond and over land to British Columbia, Southern California, Texas, Florida and Florida. The trunk, of course, is in West Virginia.

The bear den is at the roots somewhere in Minnesota, where there are secret things hidden--a washer, among other things.

It is a mystical tree, for the dwellings have doors which open wide to greet guests and close quietly so as to avoid disturbing those who are sleeping. Doors are never slammed.

We are protected by our security system, set every night by members in Virginia and California, and we are watched over by vigilant eagles.

Lynne2 said...

decided to check in one last time after my shower and WOW! Crunch Bob! Long time buddy! Happy New Year to you and Doris!

stronghunter said...

Howdy, Crunch Bob!

Lynne2 said...

That's a beautiful thought Shirley!

hedgie said...

Hello, Crunch Bob! And hi to Doris, too! Have you been checking the nest action?

Thanks for sharing Robyn's post, Jo. A mixture of sad and sweet that Tori cries when she hears her Dad---I'm glad he is there to share this hard road; Robyn shouldn't have to bear it alone.

90 snowflakes??? Goodness, girls--you all worked hard! How about red HEARTS rather than red flakes?
Glad you get your days off, Margy, and sure hope Carolyn doesn't have to leave her den and bear to go in tomorrow!

Hmmmm....cookies or ice cream? Can't decide. Need a little something before turning in....

Lolly said...

Hi all! We are back in ou room at the hotel. The wedding was beautiful, full of love, tears and laughter! The reception was rockin!!! More fun!!!

hedgie said...

stronghunter said...

Thanks for sharing the news from Robyn, Lynn. I do hope she gets her much-needed rest.

Lolly said...

Happy Birthday to Susan and Will!!!

Bye, Bob---sorry your connection is giving you trouble.

Wow---Hoda turned in early, didn't she?

hedgie said...

Bedtime for this bonzo.....hoping that I pass out when I hit the pillow!
Prayers for all, but most especially for Tori.

See y'all in the morning.

Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

PA Nana said...

My knee is healing and he reminded me that I'm no longer 18 (as if I didn't already know this).

Now, it's back to back trouble. Will have another injection this month. Then I should be good for a few months if it doesn't s%#@&.
That 4-letter word that comes in the winter that wrecks havoc every year.

Sandi, loved the pictures and hope Dennis will take you back for more.

JudyE loved the videos. Keep up the good work.

Lynn, sorry about the "log jam" you experienced. I have the same trouble when I take pain meds. Keep a softener and Miralax handy.
Not fun!!!

Forget whom else I was going to comment to but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Must go do some more reading so I can get sleepy.

Have a good night everyone and God bless!! ♥♥♥♥

*HODA* obviously you have read the TE OF PIGLET. i think i shall read it as well. :) i think one of my only regrets in life is that no matter how long i am on this earth, i will likely never read every book that i would like to read!

well...its late. i was up late last night and it caught up with me this morning! :( so for tonight, i am signing off. hope everyone has a peaceful and restful night.

smiles to all. good night.

Just got a phone call from Rebecca. She took Rus to the ER at Inova Springfield Health Complex this evening because he became dizzy and confused at work this afternoon.

They did a CT scan to see if he has had a stroke. It did not show any problems, but he is being sent To Alexandria Hospital for an MRI, as they do not have that equipment at the other facility.

Rebecca said that he did not lose consciousness and his vision and speech are okay. They are also considering the possibility of diabetes. Of course, there is a strong family history of diabetes.

I told Rebecca to call us when they get to Alexandria, so we are waiting.

Prayers for Russ that they find what caused the espiiode today.

I pray that those that did not sleep well last night. Have a good night sleep tonight.

Thank you fof the update on Tori. Bless her heart ... she is thankfully a fighter with Gods help.

Prayers for those that have a need.

Late and Im ired too hope I can sleep.

stronghunter said...

Hi,

Rebecca just called to say that they are keeping Rus for observation for now and will do the tests later on this morning.

I expect we will make our way up there in a few hours.


Thanks Jewels and Margy.

Having some tea and toast and heading back to my bed.

Good Morning Eagle Buds ! Up too early, but in need of Tylenol and now too wide awake to sleep.

SHIRLEY, prayers go with you as you go to be with Russ and Rebecca. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'s for good luck. I love your description of our Family Tree !

JUDIE, thanks so much for sharing your experience with PT. It gives me comfort and hope !

SANDI, tickled pink over your day trip and pictures ! Stunning photography, thanks to Denny ! Those with birds reflected in the water are particularly beautiful !

LORI, you are multi-talented ! That's a right purty basket thanks to you and your support team of one !

LYNN, grilled PB&J ? Have to try it. Any hints or warnings, or is it exactly like grilling a cheese sandwich ?

JUDY, I don't think anyone gets banned here as long as we say nothing immoral, illegal or impossibly rude ! Since Janet brought it up herself I didn't think of her as being birthday sensitive. Thankfully no one is obligated to divulge age. I do so because Mother Nature tells the tale through the gray hair and wrinkles she's blessed me with !☺

Kay said...

My delete to change a spelling--probably missed a few !

Lori O. said...

Oh Shirley, I'm so relieved Russ is in a good state that the doctors thought they were okay to wait for tests. You have a full day on your plate now, or has the Will & Susan's get together moved to the hospital? Kidding. I'm sure you're all thinking of nothing except Russ. My prayers are with you all.

Shirley, BTW: Your Mystical Tree is a fabulous concept. I loved it! I think you should write a book. It really was beautiful.

Lori O. said...

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOd Morning, Kay!
I'm so delighted to have you up with me at this hour...but hope you get to go back to sleep if you want to. :)

Lori O. said...

Lynne2, The Cat from Hell is one of my favorite TV shows! I'm so happy to hear it's back on. I've been searching for it since last season.

Sandi said...

Morning Kay & Lori, and Shirley if she is still around! Checking in for the morning visit. Shirley, is Russ a son-in-law?

JudyEddy said...

G☺☺d M☼rning eagle buds I got early and the eagles didn't arrive early Little disappointed in them LOL

JudyEddy said...

SHIRLEY I love your tree paragraph

Encouraging words about TORI so good to hear

Lori O. said...

Good Morning, Sandi and JudyE!

Sandi, Russ is Shirley's son.

Kay said...

Hi gLORI,SANDI,JUDY !

SANDI, Russ is SHIRLEY's son. Her kids are Kathryn, Russ and the twins, Wil and Susan. I'm answering because I have a feeling she's either getting some needed sleep or on her way to the hospital.

JudyEddy said...

OH good KAY I was waiting to hear what my punishment would be LOL so glad I don't get one LOL and I read Janet did appreciate it OK where are our eagles we are here

JudyEddy said...

JUst found a hole in my sock now I need to go get another pair another single one in the trash

Kay said...

Tee Hee, ask here and you shall receive, at least twice, sometimes more !

Kay said...

LOL, JUDY, hope you didn't lose any sleep over possiblity of punishment !

magpie said...

Judy
You can use that old sock for dusting...advice from a a hoarder with a bagful of duster-socks

Good Morning Eagle Pals....

Encircling Shirley and Rus, and all the family with Wellness Prayers this morning
And also Tori and Robyn, and many others, including YOU, Kay

Kay said...

I feel soooo old when reading about SHIRLEY's amazement that her youngest children are 31. My youngest will turn 51 a week from Monday ! Yikes, and most of the time I don't feel any older than that myself !

JudyEddy said...

Hey I forgot to tell you Angie has a friend that just had her twins full term and the are nice size on is a little over 7 lbs and the other is just under 7 nice size for twins I say Mentioning Shirley's twins reminded me of them

JudyEddy said...

funny KAY i use to put socks on my hand to dust

JudyEddy said...

We sure are a bunch of oldies LOL

Sandi said...

Morning Judy! I've caught up on my morning reading!
Thanks to everyone for the compliments on Denny's photos - as Judie said, yesterday was a forever memory! I also posted the link to the pics on my blog.
Lori, love the basket. Did FloBear do any of the work, or just provide physical and moral support.
Shirley, so sorry to hear about Russ. I'll add my prayers and positive energy that he will be OK. I LOVED your tree analogy about this group - just lovely!
Thanks to all who are posting the Tori updates - prayers that she continues to stay strong and can get a new lung.
Lynn, hope you had a restful night and are eating just the right amount of fiber to keep things moving!

Kay said...

Hello, MARGY ! Great suggestion on the duster socks. I noticed yesterday that I need to take some socks to the venitian blinds---CRS---that's not what they're called now. Wide, wood or plastic and called what ? Anyone ?

magpie said...

Kay
I have been reading all the Hip news, PT and exercises, pain and all that...
Hoping/Praying for Perfect outcomes for you...hope you enjoyed your Saturday night Seth Time...
Lori
reading about LeRoy's possible new home/owner...kitty hugs to LeRoy before he departs...whenever that is

Sandi! Repeating, totally awesome pictures, just think, an eagle or two you might see on BWE CAM nest might be one you have on film ☺

DanaMo said...

Good morning everyone.
I was up at 5 and then went to the couch after feeding the labs. Boomer is acting funny this morning, I hope he didn't eat something he shouldn't have. I feel like I can see the signs after all that we have been through with him. We are so diligent with socks and stuff so I'm thinking he got something outside.
Shirley-Praying for results for Russ today. Hope they find out what happened and fast.

magpie said...

I put them on my hands too, Judy, the socks..
good for shoe polishing also

can't remember any other name for Venetian blinds...I am not nearly "hip" enough to know the new stuff

Missed Wanda last night....
hoping to see a post this morning...

DanaMo said...

Great pictures Sandi. Lucky you! How close are you to the refuge?

JudyEddy said...

I call my blinds mini blinds!!!!

magpie said...

was happy to read a happy report from Lolly...and more fun stuff to come when she goes to Llano to see Eagles !

Kay said...

Good Morning, DANAMO ! How was the outint to the game yesterday ? Did Dayton win ?

Sandi said...

Morning Margy & DMo!
Kay, the ones with the wide slats are called plantation blinds.

JudyEddy said...

I agree with the earlier statement that SHIRLEY needs to write a book and also collaborate with HODA and others That would be the bomb!! Ok that was a hint hint LOL

Sandi said...

DMo, Blackwater is an hour and a half drive. Not long at all - we will definitely go several times a year now!

Kay said...

Yep, I think you're right, JUDY. They don't seem very "mini" though. The slats are far wider than the old venitians were. But, you get my gist. It's time for socks or Swiffers. Too lazy to get out the vac and attachments to do the job.

JudyEddy said...

News says gas is going uuuuuppppp in the $4 range Yuk and all transportation going up 7%

Sandi said...

Sounds like show time!

JudyEddy said...

I heard a noise get ready

magpie said...

Won't be long now...clunk clunk

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

Sandi said...

I agree, DMO - it looked like he got it right! But agreed, Kay, Belle had to say, "Get yourself in gear, boy!!"
