1 – 200 of 586 Newer› Newest»Thanks, Steve. Have a good day. I will tell the others.
Good Morning!
Checking in before church and got this notification that I am not sure if you have posted yet from Robyn:
ong weekend...
pray for a set of lungs for Tori.
Tori is now at Univ of Maryland or UMMC in Baltimore, yesterday she had many visitors and I know she heard each and every one of them, I hope she remembered the visitors but not what she has been going thru.
Damien her dad was talking to Dr. Garcia last night after dinner and told Dame she is doing good and she was number 1 on the transplant list for lungs and the UNOS region consists of 5 states, Dr. Garcia also told Dame to go back to the Ronald McDonald house to get some sleep since they were finally turning the lights off at night to get Tori accustomed to sleeping at night and aware during the day.
I met with Dr. Iacono, the medical director of the lung transplant program and feel confident he can take excellent care of Tori. Tori was given a zero percent at Hopkins as per the Dr. Kanan (sp) and a slim to zero at UMMC in her current condition, Dr. Iacono gives Tori a 50% and mentioned he can see her walking out of the hospital, come on lungs lets get here...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYG_bcukQ-I One of the 3 doctors involved, there is also Dr. Garcia and Dr. Griffith who worked with Dr. Jarvik. Tori is definitely in excellent hands.
Will continue praying for Tori.
Can't stay...... I hear Dennis coming down the stairs.
Have a wonderful Sunday Morning and I will be back later.............
xoxo
Thanks for the New Sunday Thread, Steve and thank you SHIRLEY and LINDA for the calls over.
Just to clarify: Open House at NCTC is Sat. Apr. 21st. Our Friday gathering is the 20th.
(Someone typed the 19th....)
Robyn's report is full of encouraging info.....but we must all pray harder than ever, gang!
Thanks for the new thread Steve and we only have one LOL
I am still sleepy.
LYNN I love the tree cam so many flying around right now
Thanks Steve for the new thread. As you can see from the old thread Steve. Our eagles have in the nest had HP three different times. So they are probably activity on the limbs also.
Thanks for several call over to new thread.
Blackwater has EGG # 2!!!!!!!
Looking at the old thread. Thank you Lynn for helping me out with my mix up of Sandi and Carol Anne.
I think I need coffee!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone is up on the cam!
I think every one of my dogs have had a quirk of some kind.....the most recent being Liesl with the dumb Beggin Strips commercial---waking her out of a sound sleep every time! Thank goodness it has not been aired recently!
Had a little scare this morning....power went out momentarily three times in 5 minutes......I was still in bed, but O2 concentrator sounds an alarm. Thankfully, it was okay after that. Bill (who was a lineman in his youth) says that if it survives 3 resets, it's usually going to be okay. If it isn't, it will stay out immediately after the 3rd attempt. I was holding my breath!!
<not a link Did anyone that uses yahoo mail. Get a Adobe download about they will be doing maintance to the websit and give you an email address to send your information too?
OK I put pictures in the EM album and also on the blog I did the action print and took some of the HP I think they are backward on the blog but ok on the EM album OK now I got to go get ready for work 10-7 day HAGD
Thanks for the new thread Steve. Good morning again everyone.
Morning, all
I see the still cam is blue, but the live feed is up...that's a change for sure!
Happy for HP in our nest this morning.
DanaWV, that sounds like a bogus email.
Happy to Read about Tori....
Happy to read about Blackwater Egg #2...
and to Lynn and to everyone: I AM THE ONE THAT MADE THE BOO BOO ON SAYING THE 19TH...SO SORRY....
JUST CONSIDER THE SOURCE...LOL ☺
No, DanaWV, no such email here.
DanaMo, know you will be sad when Aric leaves, but WOW---his freshman year is flying by, isn't it?? Safe trip to Balmer!
Hi again to all as you find the new thread. Hope you saw my Chrissy post!
So I'm bee-bopping to work and hear Lori's voice !! on the Radio...[a pre-recorded interview for Sunday Morning Slot, I guess....]
and then all this wonderful talk with an interviewee about food, and gifts....
oh, brie and apricot jam,
chocolate pecan pie, and all that....
someone bring me breakfast !
DanaWV
can you just say
"A friend in need..." on that prayer request,
please and thanks !
Good Morning from Work
saw your Chrissy post, Lynn, Thanks...
Just in time for her birthday coming up very soon, and she has a five-hour head start on it across the pond....
GOOD MORNING, LADIES...
So many things to be thankful for this morning...TORI being #1 on the transplant list is #1!
50% survival rate is better than 0%, but very scary~
Hope Shep is doing HP properly and so now, he knows "practice makes perfect":)
D-MO, it think asked about Belle's egg laying time...Jan. 31 is the earliest and (I think) Feb. 14 was the latest. We do have very heavy snows in Feb., so we will hold our breath the whole month!
Gotta get dressed...
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY♥
Wonder when the second egg arrived at BW??
Praying here for Tori, I can't even fathom what her family must be feeling.
good morning to one and all...nashville checking in. 30 degrees right now with bright, sunny skies...
nice quiet weekend around here. got my raw tax numbers crunched yesterday, a bit of cleaning done....today?????? dinner @ crackerbarrel at 3 and bowling @ 6....exciting day! lol.
yes judy, i saw where thundershirts are getting rave reviews. i think i will have to get one for beano. i want to take him on vacation with us this year as i don't want to kennel him for 10 days he hated 5 days last year. fact is, he's my buddy and doesn't want to be anywhere else, and i want him along as well. kind of fond of the little dude.
loved the vidoe of the eagles ...i am so surprised they lay eggs so early in the season when it is sill so cold! how long do they brood? (sit on eggs, not sure if that is the right term for eagles as it is for chickens???) ..... just seems SO early in the year!
well be back in a bit....just checking in for the moment.
*smiles*
Lynn, Thanks for the call over! Thanks also for keeping everyone straight on everything! Wonderful news about Tori and again, she couldn't be in a better place than U of MD - we have nothing but positive things to say about the docs there, based on my brother-in-law's transplant experience.
We're having snow flurries with the sun out - very strange! Lots to do to make up for being in Balto. yesterday - laundry, grocery shopping, house cleaning, and the Ravens play at 1PM! Fortunately, I have an extra day off tomorrow! =)
On another note, my 9-year old dishwasher isn't washing dishes! Noticed the last 3 times that we've run it that the detergent dispenser opens, but the detergent is still where it runs down the door when the dispenser opens. I hear water, and, when I open the door at the end of the wash cycle, the dishes are wet but, b/c the detergent isn't dissolving, the dishes aren't being cleaned. I suspect that the arm at the bottom that is supposed to spin around to do the washing isn't spinning (there's nothing blocking it b/c i took everything out of the bottom rack and then ran it, plus the arm spins freely when I turn it manually). Anybody had a similar problem and recall the repair cost? Trying to decide if it's worth fixing or if I should just get a new dishwasher? I was hoping to replace the dishwasher, range, and refrigerator all at the same time and switch over to stainless steel appliances and we don't have the money to do that right now. It would really bother me to have a stainless steel dishwasher and an almond range and refrigerator, but I'd do it if I have to.
wondering that too Paula...we had a lot of eyes watching, maybe under the cover of darkness and when the cam was off....ref BWE
Lynn
good point, start as it is....when one emergency, allows another to get a needed transplant organ....
The Blessed Chain of Life....
best go, things to do here, thought the 911s lines are not busy, just other things...
xoxox
No biggie, Margy! Just didn't want any confusion!!!
thanks Lynn, and I meant to type STARK not Start....
appreciate all your information...
glad you have power, 'else we'd not be seeing you here !!
I suspect that the BW egg was laid during the night.....
Margy, another chopper en route to Morgan....to the hospital.
Janet, 35 days incubation for eagles is the average.
Sandi, I would get a service call on the dishwasher and go from there!
Paula, That's my plan as of now. I have a very honest repair guy - when I called about my front loader, he asked me some questions and then told me that, based on the age of the machine and the estimated cost to fix my problem, I should just buy a new one and save myself the trip charge. Just wondering if anyone on the blog has had a similar problem/repair. Thanks for the opinion.
Good Sunday Morning! Very happy that our gal, Tori is # 1 on the list.
Blackwater is on schedule with their 2nd egg. Usually that is all they get but if there is a third it should be here by mid week.
Thanks for the video, Judy! I need to find out if NBG has an egg. They usually do right before our nest does.
Wonderful about Chrissy. Hoping for another email address so ecards can reach her for her birthday on the 16th
I can understand why it is so important to be listed as a Donor. So many young adults lose their lives in car accidents and shootings - Just yesterday an 18 yr old died in a car accident here locally - that could have been Tori's donor had his license been marked Donor.
In my humble opinion; organ donation is one of the most important things that we can do for one another. tom and i are looking into donating not only organs, but our bodies to vanderbilt university upon our demise. they take what they need, cremate the remains and return them to your family. sounds like a win win to me....hopefully that isn't for a long while yet, but to know that we maybe able to help someone, whether with a direct organ donation, or thru research is a wonderful thought!
getting out of here now.....thanks for the info on the egg incubation. will have many more questions as time arises, i suppose. have a fabulous day to one and to all...
*smiles*
Jo, the parents of the young man whose liver my BIL got didn't even know that their son was a donor. He had just recently gone to DMV to get his provisional license converted to a regular driver's license and became a donor, but hadn't told his parents. The hospital staff at GBMC saw it on his license and informed the parents. Both of our sons became organ donors as soon as they got their licenses and then Denny and I did the same. My feeling is let the docs have ANYTHING of mine that they could use to help someone else live - I won't need any part of this body where I'm going!
Totally agree, Sandi and Janet.
Just fear that they won't WANT mine after all this radiation!
So far, Jo, Chrissy's email is the same. She'll let us know if/when it changes.
Sandi, I can't remember what went bad on my D/W but was alos told over the phone by my trusty plumber that it was cheaper to buy a new one! I think it was about 12 yrs. old. I have a mix-match: almond stove top and D/W and a stainless fridge!
When I first did Body Gift Registry several years ago, they would not accept the body if organs had been removed for donation, I believe that has been updated to accommodate for that....
going to find out and get my driversl license updated if so..
'Morning Jo...
Good To See You, as well as all the other Eagle Pals here...
Lynn..every body is a gift...and has much to offer in the name of science and research...sure I am not telling you anything you don't know...but....You Are Good, You Are Beautiful....
C/A - appreciate your emails concerning
recipes .. I'll look into my "drawer"
and see what I can find of interest!
Yep, Margy...."you is kind, you is smart, you is beautiful" is such a precious thing to teach all children....and adults need to be reminded sometimes, too!!!
NOT donating my body to science/research.....just organs if usable!!
And speaking of dishwashers.....a word to the wise from this dummie: if you are buying new flatware for everyday use....read the box carefully!!! I didn't and ended up with lovely, inexpensive utensils that I have to wash by hand! What a PIA!
I stash it in the D/W basket until it's time to run the D/W and then have a lot of pieces to do....which I just finished!!!
A former student of mine has a 3-1/2 year old with a very rare blood disorder called HLH. Ally spent almost a year of her very short life at Hopkins, first going thru chemo, and then having a bone marrow transplant, then spent another 2 months at Kennedy Kreiger for therapy. Like young Tori, there were many scary days and weeks for Ally and her parents but she is thriving now. While following Ally's story on CaringBridge and learning how her life was saved by a young lady in CA who didn't even know her but was willing to donate her bone marrow, I went through the process to become a bone marrow donor. I may never be a match for anyone before I "age out," but still feel good about having done it.
I love the bumper sticker that says "Don't take your organs to heaven...Heaven knows we need them here" I too am an organ donor.
In regard to organ donations, and also being a blood donor, please consider plasma donations. "So what is plasma? It’s the liquid portion of blood, and consists of water, salts, enzymes, antibodies and other proteins. These proteins and antibodies are used to make medicines that improve the quality of life for people in need."
Of lesser importance, plasma donors are paid for each plasma donation.
Good on you, Sandi. Is Ally's prognosis good? Prayers for the little one.
I am on a rare blood registry...I have weird antibodies in my blood, thanks to multiple transfusions I received when Carolyn was born. Red Cross has only called once for a needed donation, but I always gave blood at our drives at work before I got sick in '05. I guess a lot more people have those antibodies now!! Had just reached the point where I could start donating again when this new cancer showed up.
For more info on plasma donations check here:
Plasma Donations
Thanks for those that got me straight on my mix up between CarolAnne and Sandi.
Margy when you mentioned this morning why you were going into work. I had already put the man on my prayer list. God knows who he is. ^j^
Don't forget to check candles for Lynn. I also put Tori on there
CANDLES TO RELITE
Went back to see what Lynn had to say about our Chrissy. Thank you Lynn. (:
@LynnDo you have a plug in oxygen machine at home that makes oxygen for your small tank?
I love that bumper sticker, too, DanaMo!
I sent an email to all of our teachers: get your chuckle for the day!!
Saving Animals
For all of us who dine occasionally as a group at Dutch's restaurant - This will encourage us to go back again and
again.......
Hope the newspaper article comes thru
JO I too am laughing about heading to bed early and again waking up late...this new bed has A LOT OF SLEEP IN IT!!!Eleven hours last night!!!This can not keep up!!! I am sleeping my life away, but I must have needed it...
Good morning/ Good afternoon all.
Praying for TORI and her perspective DONOR...God Bless them both...
Good reporting on the morning visits. Thank you MORNING GROUP.
Some snow this morning but it did not amount to much, a bit cold out there...24 degrees and speaks of snow today too.
DANAMO before you know it May will be here and you and ARIC will have finished his Freshman year...Tell him Bon Voyage and Good Luck with the second semester...I hope the exam schedule is a bit more reasonable during finals this time around...let us know what courses ARIC will take this semester.You must be very proud of him...PRAYERS and BLESSINGS to him as he ventures out...
DanaWV, I only have the concentrator. My tubing and cannula plug directly into it. No tank. Mine is only for sleeping. I don't take anything with me anywhere.
DanaWV - I have the concentrator at home with the 'refill' unit for my
small tanks. It is all part of me now.
Jordan Lake is Off Air
BWE is incubating - would love to see both eggs.
NBG - dead eagle found is NOT one of the mating pair..
Watching Jewel's Den Cam - Sleeping & it's quiet.......
LUNCH TIME
@ Lynn and Jo With Ed having the concentrator. He was told "to notify his Electric Company that he has a concentrator. That way if electric was out in area for say 30 minutes. He would be one they would get to right away. We DID DO THAT...I don't remember when I called the Electric Company and told them. Whether they sent me a form the doctor or oxygen supply place signed. Wasn't a big deal. Electric Company Is HAPPY TO DO THIS.
First recipe contributor: RED -THANKS! Gosh they look delicious!
I think we just might be making all kinds of scrumptious things to eat here at our house. That just might be a good side benefit of collecting the recipes.
RED'S contributions:
Cabbage and Polish Sausage Soup
Breakfast Casserole
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Worlds Best Carrot Cake
w/Cream Cheese Frosting
I am off to yoga and the groceries from the health food store...and YES LORI ONE and only ONE BROWNIE...YUM YUM YUM...
Enjoy the day.I will check back in later.
Almost Game Time
GET THE purple OUT
Where did you all find Red's receipes?
Lynn,the prognosis for little Ally is excellent though she still has feeding issues from so much time spent being fed through an NG tube and she has some developmental delays.
Janet, I wanted to send you an article I read in the Baltimore Sun yesterday (about keeping chickens) but I didn't see an email address on your blog. So, here's a link to the article:
Keeping Chickens
Grrr!!! My delete; tried to create the link a 2nd time and it still didn't work! If I don't get it this time, I quit and Janet, you can send me your email address if you want the link!
Keeping Chickens
Yay - link worked! OK, game time! Today I will not be multi-tasking during the game! Go Ravens!!
Field goal for Houston
3 - 0 Houston
GO RAVENS!!!
DanaWV, I am not dependent on the O2. Dr. just says I'll get better sleep with it.
The power co. notice only works if it's a VERY localized outage, and weather is a big factor. Blizzards and active 'canes keep the crews in until the worst danger is over.
TD, Balmer!!!!
CarolAnne, Red has regaled us with his recipes before. He is quite the chef!!!
Good morning everyone. Another beautiful day in North Alabama.
Good to see that Shep understood the lesson in HP.
DanaWV, I emailed CarolAnne some recipes per here email request.
Have been out for breakfast and helped Diane with grocery shopping. Now it's almost nap time.
Hedgie, with the new med "Daliresp" my doc took me off Oxygen except when sleeping now. Sure is nice to walk around the house without a hose to step on
Yeaaaaaaaa for Tori. Number one on the list for a transplant has to be good.
That is wonderful, Red!!! Freedom! Sounds like a true miracle!! I sure hope Jo asks her Dr. about it!!!
Red, my next visit to pulm dr I am going
to ask if the new drug would benefit me.
Dana - I have quite a supply of oxygen should power go out. I will look into
Power company notification.
Come on Ravens
Ravens up 10 - 3 Whoo Hoo!
Ravens up by 7...10-3!
LOL at us Lynn and how we think!
I may be going out to Burlington's or
somewhere to find a new winter coat..
As I have grown (Old age spread) I have
given away my good coats that aren't
any good to me if you can't suck it up and zip it up!
TD RAVENS!!!
Hope you find a good sale, Jo!
Yep...great minds think alike! GMTA as Paula said yesterday!
Been lurking from time to time--Jo, I have thought about getting a new coat, too. I have two wool ones that I have had for years. Maybe I just need to get them dry cleaned, though. They are much warmer than the raincoat I got in the fall. I really noticed that the past few days.
Wow ! Ravens up 17 - 3
Maybe the Home Field helps...
17-6, Ravens.
Hope all those Houston Field goals
don't add up too quickly
Ravens 17 to 6 Houston
Good afternoon! Sitting here listening to Jewel, she occasionally moves and here her sigh.
Slept late this morning, 9 1/2 hours! Trying to keep up with Hoda. Anyway, did not have time to get on this morning before church.
Judy, thanks for the video of the HP. And, thanks to Red for great instructions to Sheperooski! LOL Lori!!!!
Going to see my Zacharooski this afternoon. We are going over about 3:30. They are both working until mid afternoon.
Very exciting news about Tori and BW!
Houston scored, so now 17-13.
Headed in front of TV
I am an organ donor as well....always have been...do blood donations too
Just got back from a Wally world run...rooting for the Ravens.
Happy Sunny Sunday to Everyone!
GO Ravens.
The most important GO is for TORI!!!! Continuing prayers for her and rest on prayer list. XXXXing fingers & toes.God, hear our prayers!
Will be watching game & trying to do some chores.
Put awful, but temporary pics on blogspot. I was so excited to see them that I broke a resolution & bought ice cream on way home to celebrate! So I ate soup for din din! BBL
Good Afternoon, Eagle Buds !
I'm so pleased with ROBYN's last Caring Bridge report and introduction of Tori's lead doctor, via video. God's finerprints are all over the miracle we're witnessing.
MARGY, Seth and I were listening to PHC along with you, but we didn't fall asleep. Dr. Roger's was on and he was very excited over the fact that Jewel seems to be in labor. Garrison asked all the right questions about the history of the bears the good Dr. has experience with. I'm sure there are many more bear cam viewers today because of it ! I've been watching Jewel off and on since the program. She's alternated between sleep and wakefulness, doing a lot of grooming and scratching, scratiching, scratching ! Still no sign of a newborn or two, however.
The Decorah video brought back memories of the "Truder" invasion. Hope the Iowan story ends up quite differently !
Julie, Hugh and Malcolm visited at noon. Seth and I presented them with a card and the wedding album I made for them years ago. Felt it was time for it to be in their hands. They will celebrate their 19th anniversary tomorrow---I have such wonderful memories of that glorious day ! Hugh put my YakTracs on a pair of boots. I am not strong enough to do it and so they must stay on the same footwear all the time. Will have to carry shoes along to change into, as they make me slip and slide on the kind of flooring most stores have, as tested on my tiled kitchen floor. They'd be very damaging to wood floors. I guess they'll be good for treks to the garage, the dumpster and when walking Malcolm. Any YakTrac users here ? If so, what has been your experience with them ?
Wow, Jewel is awake and has her head right by the camera.
I think I am falling in love with Jewel, as I did with Lily. I am just facinated watching her. Need to go mop floors as Jack has vacuumed, but do not want to leave.
SANDI, what a great endorsement for Thunder Shirts !
Loved all the pet stories. Malcolm goes a little spastic over the words 'out', 'park', and 'let's go get Seth' . Hugh said he started prancing back and forth to the back door today when asked, "Do you want to go to Grandmother's house ?" When they turn onto my street from the main thoroughfare, three blocks away he begins to do a little whine thing and dance around on the car seat. Wish I could have a dog, but there's no way I can walk one much of the winter. With a condo there is no back yard or fencing. I have to be content with getting him on loan frequently.
Looks like Jewell is really working on something right now ! The floors will wait, LOLLY, this is getting exciting !
Yes, it is Kay! Something is going on for sure. Waiting to hear a little cub cry!!!♥
She's been digging at her flugg and is soooo restless. Listen to those loud snorts or roars !!!! Now she's kind of balled up with head tucked and rear end toward the cam.
LOLLY, have you been in on a bear birth before ? Do the cubs cry immediatly after birth ?
Baltimore better get with it or they're going to give this one away....argh!
Tree and accessories are stowed for this season! ANd that is all I am gonna do today, except to vacuum where it was!
LYNN, so glad you're reaching the end of the de-decorating process ! Time to take a break, maybe even a nap !
Jewel has shifted again, turning her head out toward the cam. She just can't get comfy. She twitches, opens her eyes and makes noises every couple of minutes.
Kay, yes, watched as Lily gave birth to Hope, and then to the twins. Cubs squeal rather loudly upon birth. LOL Little sticks of butter they are and quite noisy.
Don't you want to reach out and pet her? LOL Give her a scratch between the ears? I am a hopeless bear fan.
Yes, this brings out all motherly instincts ! I want to help her push and get er' done !!!!
When I saw a bear this summer in Colorado, I was jumping up and down with excitement!
Okay, I am going to go mop. She seems to have settled for the moment.
I'll be back, but we leave in 55 minutes...that is when she will have her cub.
WhooHoo! Lewis intercepts for Balmer.....now CAPITALIZE!!!! GO RAVENS!!!
Years ago, when I was 12, I saw bears and cubs at Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons. Since then I've only seen them behind zoo restraints. The Ohio black bear population is growing and there are now frequent sightings near small towns south of Columbus in our hill country. They keep getting closer to civilization in their quest for food.
LYNN, I love your enthusiasm for football ! Who are the Raven's playing ?
Jewel seems settled for now. Hard to believe that the birthing process takes so long for bears when you consider their size andthe size of the butter sticks, as compared to humans!!
Lolly, can you get it on your phone?
Kay, never tried the contraptions you have but Bill and Frank made me a set of "grippers" once----they kept falling off!!!
Bet the kids were thrilled with that wedding album!
A couple more dog stories from my childhood:
Gretchen, our first doxie, LOVED sauerkraut and popcorn. You could run the can opener for anything else and she wouldn't notice, but the minute a can of kraut hit that opener, she came running. Mom had to open two cans because Daddy and Gretchie ate so much straight from the can!!!! And she knew WHICH pan Mom used for popcorn and was right there as soon aas she heard it coming out of the cupboard!!
Field goal, Ravens!!! 20-13! 2:52 left in game!!!!
Kay, Houston Texans.....
If they win this, they go on to AFC Championship game against the New England Pats next weekend. If they win that one, SUPER BOWL bound!
Jewel has turned facing cam and is moaning a bit.
Loretta, I think the pics are great!!
Are those wolves howling????
What a nail biter Ballgame!!!!!!
Have Jewel cam up.
Sure sounds like wolves to me!
What are we hearing? Jewels? or wolves? LOL
LYNN, yes the kids were pleased. They've seen it before, but agreed my album is better, more complete than theirs. I included such things as Julie's letter telling me all about Hugh before they married---his mother's letter to me written in praise of Julie and her son's good taste---all the wedding stuff--their first trip as man and wife to see us in AZ---the clippings about Julie being a new prof at the University of Maryland and concluding with the first ultra sound picture of Seth. He was born a year and a half after their marriage. He loves looking at the stuff.
Is Jewell making those coyote type noises ? She seems to be resting, but sounds like she's in distress.
Yahoo-----Baltimore intercepts on a deep scoring pass!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!
The sound doesn't seem to bother Jewel at all.
YAAAAY! Interception~~~Raven's ball!!!
That's the AZ in me--coyotes ! More like wolves in MN. I'm pretty sure she's making all those noises !
Wahoo, good for the Raven's, hope they make it to the Super Bowl !
More cute dog stories, love em' !
Kay, we saw many bears in Yellowstone 42 years ago. One night, heading back to the campground we saw a bear. It was traveling along side the road. We got to our campsite and Jack started heading water.
We were in a tent, he was at a picnic table. I went to the rr. On my way back, folks started yelling "bear bear". Sure enough, here came that bear straight for our campsite as we were the only ones in a tent. We jumped in the car, the bear put his paws up on the table and smelled at our water. Then he left. Jack slept that night with an ax under his pillow.
Hi LORETTA ! Glad you're hear to root with LYNN ! I'm watching bears and they aren't the Chicago variety.
Oh, I forgot!! On the way to church this morning a beautiful fox ran across the road in front of me. He was rather large, I think, for a fox and had the prettiest tail, big and fluffy. I was so excited and braked to watch him.
Glad there was not a car behind me.
Houston has the ball.....24 seconds left....DEFENSE! HOLD THAT LINE!
We don't need or want any tied game and overtime!!!
WooHooo!!!! That's a wrap! RAVENS WIN!!!!!
Wow - what a nail biter! Too many games like that this season! They had better play better than this next week against Tom Brady!!
Congrats Raven fans ! One step closer to the Really BEEG Game !
Jewel seems settled again...might be a long evening.....
Next week Will be scary w/New England!!!
Yeah, Da Bears are gone from Chicago. Watching Jewel. I thought I heard wolves in the background, too.
We are about to leave. I have tried to get the cam on my phone but it is just not coming up for me.
See you all later!
Back from the airport. Aric should be taking off in a few minutes and will be back in Dayton at 6pm.
DANAMO, Godspeed and safe travel for Aric !
BWe cam is all fuzz
Or static I should say
DMo, did your Suburban do OK getting to the airport? Did you stop somewhere to have oil added?
I hear that tell tale clunking near the camera at our nest ! Jewel's sounds and those at the nest are kind of intertwining for a strange effect here !
I only have our nest, Jewel's labor room and the blog up. I've been paying mid-month bills while keeping an idea on all those and e-mail. The old gal can still multi-task !☺
I didn't stop Sandi. The light wasn't on when I started it again so I took a chance. I will take it into our regular guy tomorrow.
Whoo Hoo for those RAVENS! As you said it was a nail biting game.
I have Jewel's cam open. My sound keeps
going off and on. Very noisy - but doesn't sound like wind.
Hubby saw a red cardinal way down in the yard - To me it usually is a sign of
snowfall.
Almost dinner time
DMo, is tomorrow a day off for you? I know there are days that Catholic schools are closed and public schools aren't; just wondering if Catholic schools have off for MLK Day? We have a 4-day week this week and a 4-day week next week (at least a 4-day with students) b/c 1/25 is the end of the 2nd marking period and teachers have 1/27 to work on grades.
Boy that sun on the nest is deceiving, it's cold out there!
Yes, I am off tomorrow! Yipee!
JO, speaking of cardinals, this article was in today's paper. I've never anything but red cardinals, but check this out. I live about 2 blocks east (if it were marked off in blocks) of the Olentangy River where the red and white has been sighted. Sure would love to see him !
Yellow/Multi-colored Cardinals
Liesl is so smart...she has all three balls in the kitchen. Neon pink/yellow, neon orange/yellow, and plain yellow. When I throw one, even if it hits the others, she always brings back the right one! I'm amazed that she can distinquish between the pink and orange!
Oops, make that "her" on the Albino with red streaks--not a him.
Oh, oh, sounds like that woodpecker is near our cam--or one of the eagles is cleaning the beak.
LYNN, Liesl is a college graduate ! Of course, she's brilliant and knows which ball is "It" ! ☺
I think it's the smell. Frisbee does the same thing. I will throw two tennis balls, one for him and one for the puppies, he always brings back his!
LYNN or JO, is football going to mess with the CBS schedule tonight or will we see 60 Minutes and The Good Wife at the right times ?
Kay do you have snow on the ground?
It is high time for Belle and Shep to check out their nest for the last time today ! Come on, you two !
I have friends who had a black lab named Darby. Their property backs up to Loch Raven reservoir and Karen & Dick would frequently hit old tennis balls into the woods for Darby to fetch. The woods were full of old tennis balls. When we would play tennis on Karen's court and accidentally hit a tennis ball over the fence and into the woods, Karen would yell, "Darby, fetch!!" Darby would take off into the woods and return with the very tennis ball that we hit over the fence as opposed to the 50-60 others that were in the woods!! He could smell Karen's scent on the ball he was supposed to bring back! Great trick!! Their current black lab, Casey, has never learned how to do it! Casey does, however, retrieve their newspaper from the top of their very long driveway. When he was a pup and Karen was trying to teach him the trick, she would reward him with a treat. Casey very quickly started fetching every newspaper in the neighborhood and bringing it back to get lots of treats!! =D
DANAMO, yes, we got about two inches total over the last two days. The roads are all clear. Temps have been under 20, but it's "heating" up tomorrow and some rain is in the forecast, so we'll get rid of this stuff before another snowstorm heads our way.
WOW, Kay...what beautiful birds. Never have seen that before!! Wouldn't you love to see them in person??!!!!
Oh how cute Sandi about the newspapers. Labs are smart and they love their tennis balls. The puppies are still trying to get the hang of it. Frisbee will go back and forth til he drops. Java and Boomer will go if I get them real excited. They will both bring the balls back, but seem to bore easily of the game and just start chasing each other around. They are very funny! Sometimes they will go get the ball and drop it halfway to me! Frisbee on the other hand, will bring it and drop it at my feet. If it's not close enough I tell him "here" and he will either use his front paws to push it towards me or will pick it back up and toss it to me.
Indeed I would, LYNN. They are beautiful birds !
Back in the 70's my sister had a German Shorthaired Pointer, Dolly. On one of my visits to Tucson I played ball with her and with a wild pitch the ball went up on the roof and stuck near the evaporative cooler. Six months later I returned, walked out into the patio with a "hello there, Dolly !". She came toward me, stopped and pointed to the ball on the roof ! I was amazed !
Since there is also a 4:00 game - it may mess with regular schedule. I just checked and I watch Good Wife on Chn 13 and NFL is on Fox 5 SOOOOOOO just
maybe I can say our regulars should be on time - We need my consultant Lynn
to confirm my statement... lol
Kay, can you believe Aric didn't bring a winter coat back with him? We'll see how soon before he asks me to send one to him. He also left his guitar and wants it shipped. I told him he will have to wait til dad is coming down on business and he will bring it. But really! No winter coat!
What time were Belle and Shep here last night? I feel like they did make an evening visit and it was later than I expected. Anyone remember?
DANAMO, will Frisbee go through an Aric withdrawal ?
DMo, I recall reading the emails about last evening's visit on my cell and we got on the road at 5PM, so I'd say it was around this time.
Not sure DMo - I was at Mass so we know
it was after 4:30 and maybe between 5 &
6:30....
First report of EAGLE was Linda at 5:15PM - I just checked back.
BWE is back
Just looked back on the old thread. B and S were at the nest from 5:15 to 5:28 yesterday evening.
Well I was at Mass too so I couldn't have seen them! Geez...I must be thinking of this morning.
Frisbee will be looking for Aric for a couple of days. With Monte gone all week he will sleep with me.
DanaMO, your Frisbee sounds like my Nugz was with the tennis ball...the pups sound like Boo!
BWE is really clear - time for us to view that egg #2.. Hope there is a switch soon.
Heating up chili - love it better 1 day old.
Kay, I'm going through Aric withdrawal. I cried as soon as I got back in the car and off and on all the way home.
I posted on FB that they don't tell you at the hospital when you get that bundle of joy that eventually you have to let them go...:(
Nick is starting to get a hang of the ball throwing...he only last so long with it, but he does bring it pretty close most of the time!
Too funny about the dogs finding the exact ball....mine were like that as well, but Boo always used to try and steal Nugz's ball!
Jo, I am doing chili and cornmuffins today, too. I haven't seen our birds, but I've been busy
For those of you who've watched Jewel's mom deliver cubs, did she go through periods of great restlessness and seeming to be uncomfortable, broken up with long period of rest ?
Kay, those cardinals are pretty! Wonder why the pic of the guy inbetween them?
DANAMO, I understand your Aric withdrawal well ! Went through it many times as my 3 were in college and even later when they'd leave after visiting me in AZ. I've also cried about half the flight home to AZ after visiting the kids !
PAULA, I wonder the same thing. His picture wasn't in the delivered paper, only on the online version. Strange !
Jewel remains peaceful and sleeping.
EAGLES - DIDN'T SEE THEM ARRIVE. WALKED AWAY FOR 1 MINUTE AND THERE THEY WERE.
I am back and I have a LARGE brownie which I will cut in quarters and eat it oer a four day period...this way I will feel good about it...LYNN made me do it!!! LOL LYNN you said I could use you for an excuse for the brownie...
I know there was a team called Ravens playing this afternoon...but when I turned on the cam for the longest time there was a raven perched on the thin branch to the right of the Y branch...did anyone else see it...?
No evening visit yet I see... SANDI is right about last evening's time and so they are even later than that now...maybe a no show?
I hear cluncking
EaGLES
PAULA, mystery solved. It's the naturalist who did the report. Jim McCormac. I went to his blog and found more info and beautiful birds. Check it out:
Bird Guy Blog
TWO FLEW IN AND ONE FLEW OUT RIGHT AWAY AND THERE GOES THE OTHER...
Is that it? Man oh man I am glad I did not blink!!!
That was short!! Hardly worth waiting around for!
Fed the cats
came back
There they are
I hear clunking again...yet I have JEWELS Cam up too so maybe it is from there I do nto think so...has anyone else heard it?
lol My 2 eagles were right in the nest
Standing very still because my cam
went off! Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hoda, I am not hearing anything near the nest cam. If you can take 4 days to eat 1 brownie, then you are a better woman than me!!
Pardon me!!! But I think Jewel just burped or farted...excuse me I know it was not me!!! LOL!!! No one else is around...LOL
Gee Whiz ! I've had the cam up for over 3 hours and they have to do a touch and go exercise just when I'm looking at birds on that blog !
Guess I'm not as good at multi-tasking as I gave myself credit for earlier ! :(
Glad ya'll saw them...I gave up and was checking on Jewel!
I heard it too, Hoda, LOL
IF the basketball game ends on time, TV schedule should be good to go for the evening! I'll let you know!
Sounds like we all have raised or been associated with VERY smart dogs!!! Love all the stories!
DanaMo....it gets worse, kiddo. Wait til you see them walking down the church aisle! And then when they have their own bundles of joy!!
Hey Paula, as our resident eagle expert, do eagles burp or fart? Surely that must have been Jewels that you heard, NOT our eagles! =)
SANDI these are SUPER HUGE BROWNIES. Open your palm and include the portion with the fingers and this is how big one brownie is!!!
Thanks SANDI the noise is coming from the den then...
LOL, HODA ! Jewell is in a lot of distress and making lots of noises. Many of them do sound like a teenage boy getting a kick out of body function sounds !
We did make it to a high of 35 ° today....has already fallen to 29°. But NO wind!!!! Rain in the forecast for Tues. here, Kay.
Hoda, thanks for the visual on the brownie. If it's that big, then I can see dividing it into 4 pieces, but I still don't think I'd have the willpower to spread out eating it over 4 days!
S P L I T DON'T GET LOST
