BEagle said...

I think I took the split!

BEagle said...

Shep is no longer tucked and looking around. Might he be looking for Belle?

BEagle said...

Dagnabit. The new blog format makes it hard to scroll around.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Been texting with Lynn this morning. She slept well but is still sore and weak.

T-Bird said...

Good morning my eagle peeps.

T-Bird said...

I was yet again a sleepy head today.

BEagle said...

Sharon....thank you for the update! So good to hear. I got a "mending" impression.

Thank you.

BEagle said...

It's naptime now T-Bird. :)

T-Bird said...

Of course you all probably know that Sharon is safely in Scott Depot with Andrew and that Beverly, Tom, and Mattie have had the weekend to get their boat and camper in order. They are both in heaven I'm sure. Me and the dogs are holding up the home front just fine.

BEagle said...

Egg roll and wiggle down.

BEagle said...

Shep now facing 6.

stronghunter said...

Was wondering if my greeting would take me beyond 200; I see that it did.

stronghunter said...

Good to know that Lynn slept well, but sorry to learn that she still feels sore and weak.

Prayers, Lynn.

Hope to see you later today.

BEagle said...

Shep took off but I did not see that.
I do see two eggs in the nest.

BEagle said...

Now wait. Did Belle return? I keep missing the action.

BEagle said...

Yeah. I'm sure she's back and positioned about 12 ish.

BEagle said...

Now positioned in the 3 ish.

BEagle said...

Hallmark ran Jesse Stone movies last night.

stronghunter said...

Now sitting on the eggs.

Judie said...

Thank you Sharon for Lynn's morning status.

Good morning Shirley.

magpie said...

Yes, I thank you also, Shar♥n, and hope you enjoy your day today with Andrew and Kelsey

magpie said...

I check Lake Washington Eagle Nest, often, sometimes see one, sometimes two....and sometimes the live feed is down..today nest is empty and it looks dreary there

They nest, lay and hatch later than some nests we are watching

Good Day More Eagle Pals
xo

magpie said...

It's almost sunny ☼ out

Red said...

Good morning eagle friends. I'm home now after my new hip and two weeks in a rehab facility. Still have some pain but am feeling better every day. I see we still have problems seeing over 200 comments on the blog. When are our eggs due to hatch? Glad I got back before hatching happened but I've forgotten when they are supposed to hatch.
Thanks for all the prayers while I was away.

Sandi said...

Back from tennis and caught up on the blog.

RED, welcome back! happy to hear that the hip suregery was a success and that you're feeling better each day. Next Sunday, 3/11 will be 35 days from the first egg belle laid, so i have it circled on my calendar as "hatch day???"

SHARON, thanks for the LYNN update!

Sandi said...

Hmmm ... love my new spelling for surgery. I guess suregery is what you call it when you're SURE it's going to help!! =D

Mema Jo said...

Good Almost Afternoon! I've been reading the 200 page and doing emails and checking out FB.
Everything seems calm

Would love to hear from Lynn!
Coming over...........

Mema Jo said...

BEagle It is great to see you again.
Thanks for all the catch up on the
nests!

magpie said...

"Welcome Home" Red,
to YOUR Roost, and here with US

Nope, you are time to watch the days leading up to possible hatch times !

Best wishes for your continued recovery...are you able to cook yet? Bet Diane missed your home-cooked specialities !

xo (( Healing Hugs ♥ ))and love to Mrs Red also....

Sandi said...

I insist that, from now on, all Momsters,Dadsters, Kidsters, and Petsters associated with this blog are only allowed to have "suregery, " NOT "surgery!"

Mema Jo said...

Hello Red! Glad you have returned.
The moon has and will be bright for a
week or so... the nest is well lite!
Did they feed you your biscuit and gravy
at rehab? I bet you lost some weight -
time to put it back on! ♥

magpie said...

Helllooooo J☺

Best Wishes on THIS side of the SPLIT to all

Thinking of Lynn ♥

ttfn, rest of the day things to attend to

God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥

Mema Jo said...

T-Bird - I thought I was an early bird!
lol

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - Did you enjoy your evening?
Sounded very special!

I expect Lynn to be weak until she can start eating well..........♥

Mema Jo said...

Sandi - Doesn't "suregery not hurt so much afterwards? ♥

Sandi said...

JO, I'm sure that suregery is better than surgery in every way! =)

NatureNut said...

It must be Sunday!
Good afternoon (already?) to everyone.
Hope I jump the Split. Gotta go for awhile & eat something.
Finally got the Mansion and Dinosaur Exhibit pictures in the Nook. (BTW, checked out doing the slide show--pics are big, but you don't see any text. O wellI I do have a link about mansion on first section)
Enjoy~~~BBL

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Judie and Margy.

Good to see you here again BEagle.

And Sharon and Thelma are here, too.

stronghunter said...

Hi Red,

I guess I didn't post my most recent good morning message, and now it is afternoon. Don't know how that happened, but I think it was because George was scratching at the back door.

CarolAnne said...

Good morning or afternoon, as it may be, from the snowy north,

Hey Red is back - :o)

All appears to be normal at the nest - that is good. Countdown begins in earnest!

See new words are continuing to be added to the dictionary. A secret language just like in grade school.

Prayers continue for you LYNN. But Lady, you take as long as you need to regain your strength & heal, your body has been thru a lot. Do not use an ounce of your strength worrying about getting back here. The blog will wait "patiently" for your return.
Sharon will keep us & you posted to any important news. (Thank you SHARON).

Have added some "traveling pics" to my blog.

Wishing you all a great day!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - what movie did Hunter see?
Was it 3-D.... He sure loves the giant
size popcorn and drink. He's all boy
I am sure he had to share that popcorn!♥

Mema Jo said...

CarolAnne - all of your snow pictures are fantastic! Loved them all - thanks for sharing! ♥

Red said...

I think I lost a few pounds. Didn't have much of an appitite for a few days after surgery. The rehab place did have biscuits and sausage grave one moning. Food at the rehab place was pretty good most of the time. Diane took me out this morning to my favoriet place for breakfast. Got my fill of sausage gravy and biscuits. lol
Glad I'll be here for the hatchings. I'm expecting Shep to be a good father and keep everyone fed.

Red said...

Now its nap time. See ya later

Mema Jo said...

Loretta I almost turned into a robot
with the double word verification! ♥

Mema Jo said...

Take care Red! Look forward to hearing from you soon again.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn and Hunter saw The Lorax in 3-D, Jo. I am sure he shared the popcorn with his mom. That is one huge container of popcorn. Believe it or not, it was the small order of popcorn.

I guess it is good that popcorn is not too heavy. A person might have trouble lugging around the large order.

stronghunter said...

Hunter is spending the day with his dad.

Mema Jo said...

All is calm so I will take a break
BBILW

DanaMo said...

Back from church and errands. I'm ready for a nap. I'll wait though until Monte and Aric take off.

movin said...


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A GREAT SUNDAY
TO YOU ALL.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's supposed to top 80° in So Cal today, and the winds have shifted around to the normal on-shore direction ... humidity will likely be up too.

I hope the heavy winds and tornadoes haven't hit your area.


C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

stronghunter said...

Eagle poofed. Eggs alone. Not sure which eagle because I just logged on. Oh, eggs being taken care of already.

stronghunter said...

Belle?

I think so.

paula eagleholic said...

Hoda...had to comment before I forgot...the Redskins throw...yes John grew up on the Skins and we are forever faithful fans...that thro was hand crocheted by my Mom for John...she made some nice Redskins pillows for the boys as well...and some other nice afghans...plus she crocheted many bedspreads and tablecloths which I now have

stronghunter said...

Nope. Shep.

paula eagleholic said...

Ok so I'm on this page now...will read this pne...it's quiet time here while Gianni is napping...watching a movie

movin said...

It's great to see you back on the blog, Red. Happy to hear your hip is serving you well now also.

Did they install an auxiliary gravy storage tank while they were in there? That gravy is good stuff, and you could use some extra storage, I bet.


C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

Ms Bookworm said...

...

paula eagleholic said...

Beagle thanks for the nest updates...didn't know Jordan lake was back on...will have to peek at them later


Guess crc only has the one chick?

paula eagleholic said...

Oh yes...snow flurries her around noontime

Lori O. said...

Ugh! Stuck behind the 200 - didn't realize it until I took a nap and blog was still in same place! Duh!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone,

Glad to hear that Lynn slept well last night, but hope the soreness and weakness will scram, pronto!
Sharon, thanks for keeping us posted! Prayers continue for Lynn, and lots of love and hugs being sent her way!!!

Lynne2, love the pictures from Paula & Nick's visit!

Red, it's great to see you back here! Glad your new hip is working well, and you're renewing your supply of biscuits & gravy!

Say, does anyone here know of a recall of Maalox Advanced Maximum Strength tablets? Can't find any at Walmart, or at the grocery store. Just wondering...

Well, need to get busy on some housecleaning and laundry. Will check back in later... HAGD, everyone! :o]

T-Bird said...

Paula-I tried to make Justin a Redskins fan but, as he's grown, he has chosen the Packers.

paula eagleholic said...

Red glad to see you here and happy you got out for some biscuits and gravy

Hope Lynn feels better as the day goes on

movin said...

Three of the Ch. Isl. nests have eggs with brooding adults on them, AND one of the adults is 'hanging' at the PH/CH nest most of the time now...check the branch at the far right of the screen.

C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

Lolly said...

Good afternoon! roflmbo Auxiliary Gravy Storage Tank!!! Too funny, Jim!

Good to see you back, Red! It sounds like you are doing great. You were thought of and missed!

Home from church. 69 and sunny! Going to mop some floors, make some pizza, and head to Dallas soon.

There were an awful lot of post and I was fearful of what I would read. No...just a lot of friendly chatter!! Yea!

Lori O. said...

LoLLY, you are amazing the amount of traveling, cooking and cleaning you can do in a day!

Lori O. said...

The Raptors were all here for their gathering around 11...they've been coming every day around 11 - 1. No BV eggs in the "barn," yet. I wonder if TV's would nest so close to BV's?

Mema Jo said...

Expecting hatching a week or so away, I
got my big box of Oatmeal Cream Pies
ready to go...... ♥

Lolly said...

LOL Jo! I think you look for any chance to have Oatmeal Cream Pies!

My Zacharooski just called me. I think he is ready for us to come over. Gotta get busy!

Kay said...

LOLLY, LORI is so right ! Wish I had half the energy you expend each day !

SHARON, much thanks for being our pipeline to and from LYNN. Hope she's up to watching Nascar this afternoon !

THELMA, Bev n' Sharon couldn't have a better sil ! Good of you to hold down the fort !

DANAMO, will have to do some research re:campgrounds--don't know thing about them here. Can't wait for that visit !

A red letter day for RED ! Yeah ! Home and tanked up on sausage gravy and biscuits. Sweet !

SANDI, love the SUREgery concept !

Thought of LYNNE2 and MARGY particularly when I saw the link I'm about to include. I think many of you may find it of interest, too.


The Language of Birds

Mema Jo said...

Hello Shep!
I am still baffled as to why he had the late shift - but I was glad that one of you saw a switch around 2am for Belle to take over.

Really appreciate all of your reporting and also all the pics from the nest into the E_M albums & your videos on your own blogs or FB

I am busy with March's birthdays.
Besides our momsters, I have quite a few family members.

Paula I really enjoyed your Nini pics on FB I assume you have heard from John and AJ and they had a fantastic time in NYC♥

Kay said...

Me thinks Belle is taking full advantage of her eager young mate ! He's putting in a lot of nest time, but seems quite contented to do so. Good on him !

JudyEddy said...

Home for lunch been here a few reading
Thanks for the update on LYNN Sharon
Welcome back RED we were concerned with the storms in your area..
LORETTA loved the pictures but I had a hard time commenting with the words but finally go it right silly words hard to make them out at times
AND I really think that suregery is surely gonna not hurt as much as surgery does thats what I have heard LOL

Mema Jo said...

Just Voted for Nick Rescue Place
Still in the lead... ♥

JudyEddy said...

so cool the pic SANDI i am typing one hand and petting BENNY who jumped on my lap what PIA

Hoda said...

Good morning/ Good afternoon all.

SHARON Thank you ever so very much for the update on LYNN. I much appreciate it and ♥.
Enjoy the time with ANDREW.

PAULA the throw and crocheted things your MOM made are beautiful...her work is intricate and detailed. You are lucky to have thes things with such terrific quality.

Travel safely ARIC and MONTE...Two more months and ARIC will be a Sophmore!!!Freshman year will be over, under his belt and he will be moving forward to summer jobs and time at home. How is Adam(???)doing with his college courses...I feel so embarrassed as I am not sure if it is Adam or the third name I can not recall!!! LOL Senior moment I presume!!! How fast it has all gone really DANAMO.

I heard many small birds chirping when I got up this morning, a sure sign of spring for these here parts...We have a PILE of snow and it willtake a while to melt, but the little wee birds are back.

JudyEddy said...

Yeah I made it through all the comments at lunch and will be going to Angies after work probably won't pop in when I'm there important to visit There are making a nice roast in the crock pot I believe Ours winds are tremendous gust up to 55 really windy My truck is real clean no pollen at all with the pounding rain last nite..

WVGAL DANA you don't show on the map are you a figment of my imagination LOL

wvgal_dana said...

JudyE that is exactly what it is (:

I like to stay "hidden" lol

Red so glad your surgery for hip went so well. I am happy to hear cause I was a little worried at first. That you did not "escape to home from rehab stay" lol Prayers for healing and for the pain.

I see your lady Diane took you out for breakfast...She knows how to take care of you♥♥
I am so happy for you return to the blog.

Lynn/e try a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I just had one. Since my bread is the oatmeal bread it isn't as big as regular bread. So I got 3 slices of banana on it and just ate the other slice. I have not had that for years. Prayers and candle lite.♥

wvgal_dana said...

Loretta went back and checked out your new set of pictures. Really a nice setup that you and Kathy did. Thank you for sharing.

Hoda said...

In comes Belle with a stick. OPut goes Shep

Sandi said...

Belle just landed with a big stick. Shep poofed right away. Belle has moved the stick to the rails around 3 and is settling on the eggs.

Hoda said...

Belle positions the stick towards three and moves to the cup area where she rolls the eggs and settles in.

Sandi said...

I just woke up from a nap - not something I do very often, but Bella was very happy to curl up on the sofa with me. I was checking emails when I saw Belle fly in. Another smooth parent switch!

Mema Jo said...

Wow if you want to watch TV this afternoon there is Golf, Racing, many BB games and also Bowling. And of course
the news stations and movies.

The Good Wife (new) at 9:00
Army Wives is on at 9 and 10

I am about to beat the crowd at Red
Lobster ---- Here I come Biscuits....

BBL ♥

Mema Jo said...

Caring Bridge is up for Tori
All is well
Pretty long - didn't want to copy

Hoda would you please being a link over for those not receiving them. Thank you♥

Lolly said...

Pizza is in the oven. Only half baking it and will finish the baking in Dallas. Wish you all could see that kitchen there....my dream, and they do not cook very often. Grrr!

While I have the capability and the energy, I plan on using it. When I slow down....beware!☺

We are off....Later Gators!!!

If you peek in, Lynn! Thinking of you!

Hoda said...

Here is the entry JO wanted me to bring over in regards to TORI and her awesome progress.

"Step down, the next place one goes to when well enough to move out of icu, the next step to going home.

Tori was informed though she is in icu they are treating her as if she was in step down as the vent is the only reason she is still in icu, I believe it is 48 hrs off vent before she is moved but because she is doing so well her status is step down and they are going to focus on PT. Tori is much happier knowing this and said she wants to go to New Orleans and Mississippi to see her cousins then Florida to see Ang, Auntie Mare and Nana and pop pop.

Making plans is awesome..."

Hoda said...

This is a video from eaglelover of the Hancock FOundation of Belle's arrival and the changing of the guards that SANDI and I reported on earlier to day.CHanging of the Guard

Shep is known as Smitty on the Hancock FOundation site.

Hoda said...

Belle facing ten and was tucked in...something surprised her as she untucked very fast and is now following someone flying out of range of the camera.

Hoda said...

Enjoy your time in Dallas LOLLY. I am glad Zacharouski phoned you in the morning...Take a picture of the fancy kitchen and of your pizza when it comes out of the fancy oven... Hi to MICHAEL, ASHELY and ZACHAROUSKI and of course to JACK...

Hoda said...

Belle is tucked back in again...

Lori O. said...

Loretta, awesome pictures of the mansion and all your hard work!

Judie said...

Good afternoon.

Red, it was so pleasant to hear from you. Continue the recovery and don't forget to pack your auxiliary gravy pouch when you go out for biscuits and gravy.

Jo, have a nice time.

Hope Shirley is having a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Hoda, thank you for the Tori update. She really is the most amazing your woman.

Our nest is quiet now. Jewels cubs have names: Herb and Fern in keeping with the foods bears prefer.

Sandi said...

Shep just arrived with a small fish that Belle proceeded to gulp down! Belle poof! Quick shift!!

Hoda said...

In comes Shep with a small fish which Belle consumes in a couple of gulps...She takes off from five and Shep goes to the egg cup gingerly and positions himself facing one and rolls the eggs. All is well at the nest.

Sandi said...

These 2 are really working like a team! We can only hope they work so well together once there are eaglets to feed!

Hoda said...

I agree SANDI. I think they will work well when the eaglets are here and Shep will provide the necessary food and relief time for Belle...I want to reach for the fluff on the railing on eight to give to him to use around the cup...he brought it in yesterday and it blew away in the wind and they are both still building the rim around the cup!!! LOL

Hoda said...

I am off for a while now...BBL errands and exercise call...

DanaMo said...

Major headache has kept me off the computer for awhile. Seems to be fading...
Race is on tv, sloppy joe's ready for dinner and Aric on the plane and heading back to Dayton.

DanaMo said...

Good try Hoda, it's not hard to get confused with all the A names
Andrew-community college oldest 21 (next month)
Aric-University of Dayton-who just told me he may be changing his major oy vey! More for mom to worry about. He was pretty upset when he left. Hopefully we talked him through it. What is a parent to say!Geez, where is the manual!!!!
Adam-Junior in HS
Annemarie-8th grade.
I really wish they were back in diapers!

Sandi said...

DMO, was just trying to figure out what to fix for dinner - thanks for the sloppy joes idea! Sounds like a plan!

LORETTA, thanks for sharing the pics of the dinosaur exhibit that you've been working on. What a lot of work and what a cool place and way to display the panels! Are the dino graphics on the walls painted or are they some type of applique? Love how some of them start on one side of the window and finish on the other!

SHARON, when you've mentioned Scott Depot, I've always thought it was a place like a mall or a store )like Home Depot). Googled it today and figure that's where Andrew lives. Is he a music teacher/musician? I seem to recall reading something about him conducting an orchestra in December - that was just shortly after I joined the blog.

CAROLANNE, beautiful snow pics ... better you than me though! =)

Hoping LYNN feels up to checking in soon. Prayers and more prayers for you, girl!! I played tennis this AM with a lady who is currently on another round of chemo for ovarian cancer. She didn't win but was playing just fine. LYNN, I don't think you're a tennis player but I'm hoping that you will soon feel well enough to do whatever brings you joy!

LORI, Denny said he uninstalled Lightroom - he could tell that he would never get the hang of it, even in 30 days!

Sandi said...

DMO, what is Aric's major and what is he contemplating?

Sandi said...

DMO, your avatar is just so cute!! Almost makes me wish I taught kinders so I could wear outfits like that! It's got to make going to work fun! Of course, I could try wearing a get-up like that to middle school - I'm sure I'd get a reaction! =)

DanaMo said...

Sandi-Civil Engineering is what he currently is, what he is contemplating is unknown. Loves all the math, not liking the physics. He is very hard on himself. I think he sees it as a reason that it is not the right major for him. Advised him to go talk to an advisor and look online for careers in math (not a teacher he has no patience). I really see him as an engineer, but it has to be what he wants. Now he is worried that he should stay at Dayton because he isn't going to stay in engineering and the cost is too much. I feel bad for these kids sometimes, they feel so much pressure abnd have a hard time figuring out how to live up to the expectations of society and us as parents.

DanaMo said...

One of our middle school teachers dressed up as a pumpkin because she lost a bet with her class. It was pretty funny!

DanaMo said...

In that previous comment it should read he is "worried that he should NOT stay at Dayton"

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all.

Home from sitting the gkids...heading over to friends for dinner shortly

Judie said...

DanaMo, sorry I forgot to ask for a follow-up on your A-team earlier. Not there and don't know Aric but will share what I offer when students (sometimes seniors) ask me what they should be when they grow up. Follow your heart. Take time, think it through, listen to your parents advice, but follow your heart not necessarily the money. Do what you believe will make you feel good about who you are at the end of each day. An adviser is good -- a caring professor is better.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, enjoy the pizza, kids, gkids and the game!

Sandi said...

DMO, if Aric is happy at Dayton, then he should stay at Dayton, even if he changes his major. I'm sure you and Monte told him that. Brian started at University of Delaware. At the end of his freshman year, he transferred to Towson University AND changed his major. But he transferred b/c he just wasn't happy at UD ... of course, it was very nice for us that he went from an out of state school to an in-state school! Hope he gets some good advice from someone at school!

OK, I'm off to feed dogs and people! BBL!

Linda said...
