Thursday

New thread.   We all got a kick out of the behavior yesterday where the eaglets were being covered with grass by the adult.  We think it was to keep them warm in the wind and possibly shield them from a predator (although it's very doubtful a predator would get through the adults).

Da Bears Updates

Mema Jo said...

I didn't look at the count.......... I guess I am 201 and I hope others will follow.

Sandi said...

Sorry to hear the sad news about Margy's brother-in-law and Sharon's friend's daughter. Prayers for the families. And for the family of the little kidnapped girl.

Lynn, how are you feeling today? I haven't mailed a greeting card in I don't know how many years - not my style. But please know that I think of you daily and am praying for the very best outcome from your chemo!

Played lousy tennis today! Windows are on my housecleaning agenda. Have the lace valances from the whole upstairs in the washer and will vacuum all the blinds and wash the insides of the windows. I don't wash the outsides til after the pollen ends and Denny pressure washes the exterior of the house. Gonna get busy!

Lolly said...

Good morn! Ha! You thought you were rid of me! Wrong! We left at 9!

T-Bird said...

Yes, thanks Wanda.

Mema Jo said...

GLO - prayers that you will soon be able to up on your feet again! Back pain really is uncomfortable and you can hardly find a comfortable position.
Love and prayers ♥

Mema Jo said...

Safe travels Lolly.... Jack is a great driver and I know you will get to your destination safely..... ♥

GOOD FRI MORNING
TO YOU ALL,
AND A GREAT
SATSUN FOR YOU TOO.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Looks like we will have a good rain today in So Cal.

Probably won't break 60°,
but as usual, we're behind the norm for rainfall this year, so we can definitely use it.


C(°ٿ°)D Jim

Mema Jo said...


Update on our Miracle Gal, Tori


Tori, Robyn and grandparents Bobbi & Ted are planning to be with us at Sat
dinner.

Lori O. said...

Margy, so sorry for you and your family. Wanda is right. Your sister would be so proud of you for being with her family.

Prayers for Sharon's friend's daughter in Bedford for fast healing.

Mema Jo said...

Good to see you Jim. Hope you are enjoying this Friday the 13th.

Lori O. said...

Helloooooo THELMA!!!

Mema Jo said...

I have an appointment with my Foot Dr
(Podiatrist) This is just routine...
Need to break and get ready to roll down the road...

BBILW

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Just posted a pic on Facebook of the little wing man!

Lori O. said...

Finally home on this Friday, but it's not
the end of the week. Loo and I have to announce the
Cherry Blossom Parade in DC
tomorrow...then it's my weekend since I'm taking Monday off.
Think I'll need a nap soon.

Hoping Kay, Lynn, Glo and DanaMo are okay today - feeling no pain would be nice.

Mema Jo said...

Sad to hear this already ---
The Maryland Department of the Environment announced Friday that a drought "watch" is in effect for the Eastern region of Maryland, where precipitation levels have been below normal in recent months.

I pray Megan and all the farmers will have the rain they need for their flowers and crops..........

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Lori, did you see where Andrew and Kelsey are performing at the Lincoln Theatre again tonight with the West Virginia State University Jazz Ensemble?

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Jo, we are certainly behind on the rainfall.

Lori, at least it will be a pretty day tomorrow ☺

Prayers for those in need.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Their director told them last night that it was their best performance ever!

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - Little Wing Man picture is fantastic. Next weekend we will be able to see them up in the nest if they keep this wingercising going. ♥

Mema Jo said...

Andrew and Kelsey certainly have made
Music together! Great compliment, Sharon.

Mema Jo said...

Whoops - I had excused myself a while ago........ I get all wrapped up on this blog......... BBL

hedgie said...

Look at all those dark pinfeathers on big girl! WOnder what Belle and Shep are doing? I may have missed them but haven't seen them all morning.

Mema Jo said...


Osprey at Finny/water cam

hedgie said...

Sandi, don't work too hard!

Hi, Jim! Hope it doesn't rain your whole weekend!

Sharon, KUDOS to the kids!!!!!

Lori, you certainly don't have to be in so early tomorrow AM,, do you? Parade starts what, at 10?

Jo, have fun with your foot doctor---tell h im to give you a massage!!!!!

hedgie said...

I am feeling better today than I've felt all week....actually ate a "big" lunch....a whole portion!!!! I was hungry and it felt like the right amount, so I enjoyed it greatly (it was a frozen chimichanga!!!).

hedgie said...

Has Belle fed these kids yet? Doesn't look like the pantry has been restocked.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

That is funny. Mutt is plum up under Belle. Jeffina is at 11 o'clock, too close to the edge.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yay on eating Hedgie! So without chemo between now and our visit, you should really be in good shape!

magpie said...

this might be old nes

Osprey at Fin-ferry

magpie said...

I sure got mixed up THursday on what I was putting on here about Finland nests....glad the rest of you were keeping things straight

magpie said...

old nes = old news

magpie said...

oh brother not sure where my post and the comment box is

sister in Mass was watching peaglets
said one looked like a coiled up snake

the other like a baby dinosaur

Sandi said...

Checking in - upstairs windows are done so I'm working on the downstairs now (there are a LOT more on the first floor). Went to FB to check out Sharons' pic of the little wing man and came across a fabulous video of osprey fishing, posted on the Friends of Blackwater FB page. So awesome - almost as beautiful as eagles!!! Almost!!

Osprey fishing

Hoda said...

Good morning/ Goodafternoon everyone.

Tried to find news on DANAMO and her procedure and did not get anything...I have not really read, more speed reading.

Running behind and just checking in.

LYNN very glad to hear you had a good lunch and a full portion. I smile. SHARON's comment about your health and the reunion weekend is also very exciting...you will have your strength and I hope you have a great time.

I am headed off to yoga and errands.

Feeling better.

HAGD.

PRAYERS♥

magpie said...

I do see a hapy post from Hedgie...
good appetite
big lunch

Bon Appetit!

back in a few to skim and catch up

Mema Jo said...

Almost ready to leave for appointment but I had to check out the nest before I left. I'm sure it is the shadows but when I first looked, Missy had turned to all her black feathers... I know that naps won't do that to a young eaglet! They have to grow their pin feathers!

JudyEddy said...

Trying to catch up Jordyn is down for a nap Angie has a 5oclock appt for Jordyn 4yr old shots and is trying to get me to go with her

JudyEddy said...

MARGY thinking of you and your BIL and family

JudyEddy said...

SHARON so sad about your friend so young had to be the hardest thing that Robert had to do in his entire life

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Margy, I was trying to figure out how your sister was in mass and watching the peaglets, then it hit me. Massachusetts, right? LOL!

JudyEddy said...

LOLLY I know you are traveling but are you going to be in the area where they are expecting severe weather tomorrow (tornados) was announced on our news that TX,Ok that the conditions were ripe for them If so stay safe

JudyEddy said...

this pic looks like he is say I am this big

JudyEddy said...

BELLE UPSET

Sandi said...

Oh no, what's going on with Belle??? Was in the kitchen washing the window and heard her! Somebody is too close to her babies/nest!!

Lolly said...

Almost to retreat /camp for weekend. Great drive, lots of Bluebonnets!

Lolly said...

Nothing is allowed to go wrong while I am gone! Nothing!!

JudyEddy said...

SOMETHING IN ATTIC

Sandi said...

OK, quiet again and Shep is talking to Belle from the tree. Back to work for me!

JudyEddy said...

BELLE is now calm and moving a stick

JudyEddy said...

that was a little over 4 min I was recording it I wonder what it was all about

JudyEddy said...

chicks started to move to Belle and she is moving over light not now kids

JudyEddy said...

the one chick bit at her tail feathers

JudyEddy said...

poof Belle she yelled before she left

DanaMo said...

Home and eating. Everything went fine. Going to go to sleep after I eat.

movin said...

I've got to go, but I noticed that BWO is acting like she might be starting this year's clutch.

C(°ٿ°)D Jim

JudyEddy said...

Big just walked over to the edge the stick poked him and he moved it to the edge to cute

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Jim...Judy
Don't know where that stick came from, but girly is either playing with it or trying to move it out of the way. What are we going to call these chicklets? I've seen some names thrown out there.

hedgie said...

Dana, glad things went well. Sleep well!

Thanks, Jim...will go take a look-see!

Wanda, they are getting called lots of things! Haven't that faintest idea what to settle on!!!

magpie said...

aah yes
the barricade...I forgot
that's where everyone is

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I just won 1 ticket to see Hitsville, USA here in Bluefield. Now I have to find somebody who has $30 bucks to buy a ticket and go with me.

JudyEddy said...

SHARON sounds like you are having a lucky 13th

JudyEddy said...

someone is still in the attic

magpie said...

Sharon!
I was going to go back and add
"Mass"= Massachusetts but I got kicked off my workstation,
that's funny you thought the same thing also.....☺

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Just got the contract for the rehearsal dinner. Are you sitting down? $1612.48 That is for BBQ chicken picnic and burgers.

magpie said...

Sharon
am sorry to read of your young friend's illness in Bedford

magpie said...

I am happy to read DanaMo is all done with procedure and is home and resting



and for all others with things that are better than they were:YAY

and still wishing for good things where needed

Paula...Enjoy the Paradise with Son #2 and Nick, the sun and the sane and the wildlife

xo

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

BWO has their first egg. Jim was right!

magpie said...

aah yes the sun and the sane...
I think,
SAND is the word I mean

End of workday approaches for me, and then a trip South to Winchester in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.....

Thanks for all the comfort and touching thoughts sent my way and myfamily'sway

xoxox (( ♥ ))

magpie said...

that's our Movin' Jim...
thanks Sharon...
Congratulations to Lisa and everyone at BWO-
including Mr. and Mrs. Osprey !

magpie said...

Just hasd a little tee-tine time to talk with Jewels....Oh Joy....

ttfn xoxo

Mema Jo said...

I have returned from the Podiatrist and he clips toenails too short for me to polish. I have a hard time touching my toes to begin with.

Jumping Jo is coming in..........

Mema Jo said...

Congratulations Lisa at BWO! That is one good looking egg! Here's to a good season ♥

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - how many will be at the rehearsal dinner? Seems like a good
price.

Mema Jo said...

Dana I hope you are resting well and I am very thankful that it went well for you this morning. ♥

hedgie said...

Yikes, Sharon...depending on the # coming, that does seem a little steep for BBQ dinner to me.
Congrats on winning a ticket--lucky 13th for you.

Yep, BWO has an egg!!! Bet Lisa is thrilled!

Caro said she had to stop in at work and I hoped she wouuld do it before Margy left for the day. Yea!

So no one is confused...we are also in the Shenandoah Valley, not just Winchester!!!

hedgie said...

Jo, Chris got a pedicure yesterday and says they don't cut her nails short enough so she does them herself! She got french-tipped design. Very pretty, actually!

Linda said...

Good Afternoon Dear Eagle Friends!

I hope you remember me from way back when tax season wasn't in full swing!! I am dealing with a lot of last minute taxpayers who don't want to pay up...... What fun!

Just wanted to say Hi and I miss chatting with you all.

I check in from time to time, but am just too darn exhausted to post once I stop for the night. Have been fighting those darn migraines again and the scapula pain in my upper back and neck. I expect that to stop next week! Whoo Hoo!!

Thinking and praying for Margy and BIL Dwain and family, DanaMo as she heals, Glo's back, Thelma, Sharon's friend, safe travels for Lolly, and of course Lynn ♥.

Lynn - So happy to hear you're feeling good today.

Kay - Awfully sorry that your pain is just too much to risk the trip to the Nest next week. You will be sorely missed but thought of lovingly throughout the weekend. Praying for answers to your pain.

Belated Birthday Wishes to PAULA!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend in paradise, too!

Counting the days until the tax deadline.......and then our weekend !!

xoxo

Linda said...

Oh, and I at least got to see our azalea bush in full bloom this morning when I hung the sheets on the line. I can't wait to spend some time outside again!!

And even better yet.......I saw an EAGLE on my way to church Wednesday evening!!!! My first!! It was just perched on a tree on the side of the creek. I would have loved to turn around and just hang out to see where he/she flew to, but we had to get to church.

It was awesome!! A mature one with a beautiful white head and white tail feathers. Amazing!

Mema Jo said...

Missy is really putting on a show in the nest! Standing is so great. I wish that Missy and her Bro would go back to the middle of the nest.

Mema Jo said...

Seeing a live eagle just send goose bumps up your spine! I love the feeling and the reason.

Mema Jo said...

Lynn, I would feel sooooooo special to have white tipped toenails. I try to keep my finger nails short so not to scratch myself and leave a bruise...

I need to just go and get beautified.

I guess Lolly has arrived at their destination. I hope JudyE's weather report will blow away...

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break - thinking about dinner.....

Linda said...

Not only that, Jo, but we were listening to a Christian song about Isaiah 40 talking about about those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength and soar on wings like Eagles!! At that exact moment that we drove by!! Even Dennis got goose bumps!

That was no coincidence!

Sandi said...

OMG - finally finished the windows - at least on the inside!! I counted as I was doing them (I do that every year but fortunately, I forget the count by the following year when it has to be done again):
30 double hung windows
4 pairs of casement windows
2 octagonal windows
3 sets of sliding glass doors.
All of the windows have lace valances that were taken down, washed, and hung back up, plus the double hung windows all have lace pleated shades that needed to be vacuumed and the window trim/sills all needed to be wiped down to get rid of a years worth of dust.

About 3/4 of the way through, I started to poop out, but kept reminding myself that, if I finished, I could reward myself by taking the dogs to the beach tomorrow when it's supposed to be sunny and warmer!

Lynn, I am delighted to hear that you're having a good day - now you just need to string a bunch of them together!!

DanaMo, glad the procedure went well. Since you have to rest all weekend, tell Monte to get that pool opened up!!

Sharon, congrats on Andrew's musical accomplishment. What instrument does he play? What a proud feeling for you!! As for the rehearsal dinner, at least you aren't paying for the wedding!!!

Hoping that Kay will soon be getting some relief from her pain.

Linda, sorry about the migraines and the back/neck pain, but there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Hang in there!

Hope Lolly and Shirley are having a fun day!

Paula, have a safe trip to the beach - supposed to be sunny and nice both days, a great weekend for ♪♫ "she had a drink in her hand, she had her toes in the sand!" ♫ ♪

Think I need 2 more Aleve!!

Linda said...

Sandi - Maybe you need a drink in your hand, too!! ♪♫ Might ease your pain after such a hard day of physical labor!! TGIF, too!

Lori O. said...

SHARON, wish you could be at the Lincoln Theatre tonight!
Congrats to Andrew & Kelsey on their great performance!

How many people are coming to the rehearsal dinner?
That's a ton of money no matter how many!


GREAT to see LINDA on. I loved your eagle sighting story!

Lori O. said...

DanaMO, hoping you're sleeping comfortably and happy to be home! Glad it wasn't bad for you.

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

Linda said...

Mom and Dad are home!!

Poof Shep, Belle is feeding chicks..

JudyEddy said...

POOF BELLE

JudyEddy said...

Hoda said...

That was funny when shep came in with a small fish, Belle took it from him and Missy took it from her!!! Missy couldn't do any thing with it so Belle took it again and the feeding started with Bro coming up for some food too.

Belle has poofed. I do not think this little fish was enough of a meal for the two chicklettes.

Good day for me and partly blue skies here.

Prayers for peaceful and love filled transitions to both MARGY'S BIL and to SHARON'S young friend...

Camera shook twice now with a rattle both times...

Glad DANAMO is safe and sound and that LINDA showed up with some very heart warming eagle sighting posts and is it possible to wish that migraines and taxes go away???

Very happy LOLLY checked in and safe travles you two.

JudyEddy said...

HODA I was recording it also when she landed and Shep cam in with fish I am uploading to youtube right now

JudyEddy said...

Here is the link to the one where Chicklet was wingersizing lolWingersize by one of the chicklets the feeding is still uploading

JudyEddy said...

someone is in the attic

DanaMo said...

Glad to see Lynn on this afternoon.

I just woke up. Not feeling to bad. Slept like a rock. My throat hurts from the tube and it's very dry. Gonna try some tomato soup and they Ice cream later tonight☺

Yay for Linda seeing her first eagle. I've got goosebumps from your sighting. WOW cool. Was it "raise you up on Eagles wings..." I know there are a couple of Christian songs that talk about Eagles Wings.

JudyEddy said...

For thoese of you that didn't see where Missy took the fish here is the video so cute
Belle flies in Shep flies in with fish Belle takes fish and the Missy takes fish just to have Belle take it back

Lori O. said...

GREAT video, JudyE! Can't believe they start wingercizing so young.

JudyEddy said...

OH shoot I keep forgeting that I can't listen to music when I record I get a copyright notice from youtube the video will still play but they will put ads on it funny huh

JudyEddy said...

Lori hope you like the other to so cute to where she took the fish Big girl was hungry

JudyEddy said...

Well I need to go do something like shower, eat and pick up and finish laundry Ho Hum boring LOL

DanaMo said...

just noticed my typo *too*

JudyEddy said...

I heard a siren??? I thought I did I guess not

Linda said...

Thanks, LORI, HODA,DANAMo and others ♥ Glad you remembered me!! LOL

DanaMo - The song was one that I believe was written by the worship leader at Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale. It was right from scripture and a beautiful one! I like the song you mentioned as well.

NCSuzan said...

Hi! Everyone. Margy, thinking of you today. Sharon and your friend also. Lynn, happy to hear that you feel a little better today.

The Red Tail Hawk is on egg hatch watch. It is a nice camera but no IR light. Beautiful pair of raptors.

RTHCam

Hoda said...

Good videos JUDYE. Thanks

CarolAnne said...

Good evening all,
So good to see that some are feeling better. Prayers that others find relief soon. Sadness for the families of those advancing to a heavenly home.

Still in awe at how quickly the young'uns are growing. Thought only I could expand that fast. LOL

HODA, sending a special something to you by snail mail to help you to a full recovery.

Hope everyone will be safe from any inclement weather thats sweeping across the states. Safe travels to those out & about!

Hugs to you all

JudyEddy said...

Here is a video of the hawk from the park today she was in the tree just above the nest I saw her in the nest when we first got there and then went back and was surprised she was on the branch
Hawk in tree at parl I think its a cooper hawk I think that is what the guy said

Hoda said...

Thank you so much CAROLANNE. I will keep checkingmy post box.With gratitude HUGS♥

Lynne2 said...

Evening all.

Lynn, so happy to read you had a REAL meal today! WOO HOO! It's the little things in life, isn't it!

Dana, glad your procedure went well and that ICE CREAM is on the menu this evening!

Margy, thanks for checking in with your update. SO very glad you can be there for the family through this very difficult time and my prayers are with you all.

Sharon, prayers too for Robert. So very sad.

Glo, hope your back doesn't keep you too down for too long!

Hoda said...

In comes Belle followed by Shep and the siren and he brings in a fish and he poofs.
Missy and Bro are asleep.

Lynne2 said...

WHOO HOO!!! O2 company removed the O2 from Robyn and Tori's house today!! AMEN AND HALLELUJIAH!
Miracle continues!!!!!


Linda, I know you are counting the days until the 17th, but hope you can finish up Sunday!!!! And hope the nasty migraines scram with the tax season and that your back/shoulders get plenty of relaxation and relief.

Sandi, enjoy the b....h tomorrow..you've sure earned it as hard as you've worked the last two days.

Lynne2 said...

Larry's loon cam is up, loons have been on the nest mating! He planted some pansies for "color" this year!

Lynne2 said...

Can't see as much of the lake this year, and he's worried about the night vision.

Lynne2 said...

Loon!

Lynne2 said...

Belle just grabbed a hunk of wooshie and took off!

Loon ON the nest now!

Lynne2 said...

Well, looks like I'm alone here talking to myself. Seems to happen a lot these days....guess I'll check in later.

NatureNut said...

Have to do a quick Good Evening---steaks are vooking!

So sorry to read about Margy's BIL andv Sharon's friend's daughter. So sad--prayers for all.

Did some weeping at Chelsea today~~~they came and cut down two trees--one the weeping willow. They were not really alive, but some neat larger birds used to perch in the willow :>(
As soon as I can get to downloading the camera, saw something neat today ☺
BBL~~~

hedgie said...

Too bad, Lowreeda. Even dead trees are important to the birds!
Mmmm...steak sounds good. I had a few popcorn shrimp and some mac salad...wasn't terribly hungry this evening.

Heading for the tub now. Maybe a nap while I'm there. BBL.

NatureNut said...

Lynne, your presence reminded me to say I've seen a few zebra swallowtails in the past couple weeks at Chelsea! Love them!☺

Mema Jo said...

Just returned from Dinner and some shopping. I see Belle has her 2 little ones cuddled in front of her.

Mema Jo said...

Oh Lynne 2 loons! I was reading Larry's blog this afternoon and then hoped I could see them! Wow - they are just as pretty as ever!

Lynne2 said...

Minn. Eagle having a rough time in the stormy weather there...sounds like hail is falling.

Mema Jo said...

Linda and Dennis The sighting of the eagle at that very moment - You were being held in His arms. ♥

Mema Jo said...

Just received email about my ggd, Sophia who lives in Hedgesville lost her 1st tooth. She is 6 and remember that Sophia is the one that was bitten by their Lab - Max. Her face does not show any scar - ♥

Sandi said...

Made the mistake of sitting down to watch some TV - NOT!! Could barely stay awake. I am calling it a night - will "see" everyone in the AM!

hedgie said...

Congrats to Sophia, Jo. Big girl now!

Goodnight, Sandi. I am right behind you. And I didn't even work at all!



Good to see CarolAnne checking in, and I'm sorry I missed saying hi to you, gal!

Sweet sleep for all, but special prayers for Margy tonight. Love you, girlfriend. See you all tomorrow.

hedgie said...

Margy emailed and said to give you all this message about Dwain's passing:

Peaceful death, his children with him, I wsa able to have some special time with the kids afterward...
Dwain has no more pain or illness, arrangments still being made.
I'll make it over to the blog before the night is over....

NatureNut said...

Gotta jump the Split again!
Got my surprise Chelsea pictures in the Nook.
BBL~~~gotta do KP

NatureNut said...

Oh Lynn, Thank you for Margy's report. Sad, but perhaps a blessing.Prayers for Dwain and all the family.

Judie said...

Margy, it is good that Dwain had the family with him and that you had time with the family. He is at peace. Sympathy for you and all the family.

Judie said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Judie said...

The time has come to say goodnight.

I have tried to read back and catch up.

Thank you JudyE for the video; Sandi, tax season is almost over and you can relax and regain your personal life; so pleased that Lynn reported she had a good meal today and was a little hungry tonight; Lowreeda, I know how you feel about the trees and have felt the same about losing some of ours; DanaMo, glad all went well this morning and hope you got some restful sleep today; Sharon, so sad about your friend; Jo, congratulations on Sophia's rite of passage.

Judie said...

The sandperson has dumped a boat load of sleepy dust in my eyes and has just scurried out the door and is headed your way.

The night light is on. Restful sleep for all.

grannyblt said...

I tried posting from my Kindle, but no luck.

Sad news this evening for Margy's family. Prayers for all.

magpie said...

Thank you my dear Momsters and Dadsters family, for all your support, encouragement, love and prayers during this past week, with the injury 7 days ago, and death this afternoon of my brother in law....my late sister Katherine's husband, and father to five precious nieces and nephews whom I have been close to since each was born...going back 44 years....
I thank Lynn♥ for getting a message here, I think I have been on the phone for many hours, have finally caught up with all my siblings, and some close family friends.
Yes, Dwain's dying is a blessing, especially for him, he led a long, very full life, touched many lives through sports, education (teacher for over 44 years), and just life in general as a good old country boy, born and raised and who lived his entire life in Hedgesville, West Virginia.
His injury was severe, the best medical care could not overcome the trauma to his brain, and he just could not recover.
His children are at peace with this final resolution....
Thank you, ever so much, friends,
xox (( Hugs ♥ ))and
God Bless Us, Every One

NCSuzan said...

Margy, I am so sorry. Life is tenous at best. My thoughts for you and his family at this time.

Lolly said...

Hi all! Have had a fantastic afternoon and evening! Lots of talking and saying "remember when....?". Lots of hugs and laughter too. It has been 10 years since we have all been together! 15 cousins from 5 families all raised close together and now the youngest is 62 and the oldest 75! More talking and laughing tomorrow! Nite all! Sweet dreams !

NCSuzan said...

Lolly, that is wonderful that you are having such a fun and happy time! Ten years is a long time to be apart. Hope you have a blast!

Lolly said...

Hugs, Margy! Just read about Dwain.

Mema Jo said...

Margy, Dwain has entered the sleep of Peace - May you and all the family be blessed knowing he is now free of all pain. ♥

Mema Jo said...

Going to close down for the night. Peace and Love to All
** (((HUGS))) **

Lolly said...

Thanks Suzan! We all live so far apart! One cousin is here from state of Wash. Another Ariz. and all over TX!

Hoda said...

PRAYERS for BIL MARGY...I am glad he had family with him when he started on his final journey. BLESSINGS.

Linda said...

MARGY - Prayers for you and Dwain's family. Such a tragedy, but thankful he went peacefully and his wonderful family was with him. Life is so very fragile.

Watched the Lionel Richie & Friends Special tonight and enjoyed the songs from the 80's!! Boy the memories came back....

It's time for me to head upstairs for the night. Prayers and blessings to all tonight... ♥

Night ♥

Kay said...

Have not had a good day, very discouraging. Just had to check in for Momster news.

DANAMO, so pleased to hear how well the procedure went ! Lie low for the weekend !

LYNN, love hearing you felt better today than you have all week ! Hmmmm, a chimichanga ! Ole !

MARGY, prayers for you and Dwain's family as all adjust to his grand promotion. It sounds like he led a wonderful life and now he can enjoy his well earned heavenly peace and comfort.

LOLLY, glad you're having so much fun !

Prayers for all the other needs mentioned today--Glo's back, Sharon's friends....we have such a long list......

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Hoda said...

OH KAY!!! So sorry that you have not hada good day. PRAYERS for your comfort and healing. HUGS♥

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy all....finally checking in

Hope everyone is doing ok

Catch up with you tomorrow

Here safely at the beach

(((Hugs for all)))

Judie said...

Oh my, Lock Garten has snow.

Costume Lady said...

Both my girls and their families are getting ready to go to the beach, so we did not have a Family Friday. Just Gene and I with GG and some BBQ pork chops. She's still not complaining about pain, but says it flares up from time to time. I have supplied her with some mild pain pills to take when the pain calls for something more than a Tylenol.

Margy...my sympathies to you and the rest of the family. It's never easy to lose a loved one, but his death was peaceful~

GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
LYNN & KAY♥♥

Hoda said...

Goodnight.

PRAYERS♥

DanaMo said...

Oh so happy that I can have my coffee this morning. Not so happy that I am up this early! LOL! Java had to sleep with us last night because Annemarie slept at a friends. Javalin likes to sleep at your head on the pillow...

DanaMo said...

Oh Margy, my deepest sympathies! It sounds like your brother in law was a very good man and the loss will be felt deeply by all in your family. May he rest in peace.

DanaMo said...

I am amazed at how well I feel. Thank you everyone for your good thoughts. The biopsy I had a couple of weeks ago was so much worse than this!! How is that possible. I was afraid to say so, thinking maybe I would be feeling bad this morning, but I feel fine.

Lori O. said...

Good Morning, DanaMo! Thank heavens for coffee in the morning! Glad you're feeling well.

Margy, so sorry to hear about Dwain. Prayers for your families. I'm sure your neices and nephews were all grateful you could be there. Big Hugs!

Lori O. said...

Been up for a while now, getting weekend work stuff done (not even close yet), and getting ready to leave for the Cherry Blossom Parade by 7. Long day, but it's supposed to be beautiful!

DanaMo said...

Thinking about going back to bed. Monte just left to be an appraiser at the State DI competition. Three teams from our school qualified. I hope they do well and most of all have fun!

DanaMo said...

Have fun today Lori, I saw the post of FB. The parade sounds like a great time!

DanaMo said...

I guess the nest is too crowded with those babies getting so big? They are snuggled in the center by themselves. I'm sure Mom or Dad are close by, but I find it interesting.

Sandi said...

Morning Lori and DanaMo! DMo, how are you doing this morning? Are you opening that pool today? Forecast here is for 70s today and 80s tomorrow!!! 8)

DanaMo said...

Monte will probably do the pool tomorrow. He will be at UMBC until later this evening. Long day for him and the kids!

Sandi said...

Margy, my prayers continue for you and for Dwain's family; glad you were all with him yesterday to say goodbye.

Kay, I was so hoping that this injection would work - and fast - yet you had another not good day - RATS!!!! I sure hope it starts kicking in soon!

Lolly, sounds like you are having a wonderful time at your reunion - enjoy every minute of it!

Wanda, what's up with the newest member of the family? I know a girl can walk around dilated for a while without going into labor, but you were talking about it when the moon was full and that was over a week ago! What gives?

Lori, enjoy the parade today!! A former student currently stationed in Japan (she's a helicopter pilot for the Navy) posted pics yesterday on her FB showing the cherry trees in full bloom there - gorgeous!!

As I watched our 2 kids toddling and flapping around the nest yesterday, I felt relieved again that there are only 2 of them, not 3. The nest still seems plenty big for both of them, though I know they're not finished growing.

Board meeting for the tennis club that I belong to here at my house this morning. Then, this afternoon, I am taking the 4-paws to the beach for a run and some sun. Can't wait!

DanaMo said...

Well I'm thinking it's time to go back to bed.

Good morning my eagle peeps.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING...
Morning Thelma...one more week:)

Costume Lady said...

SANDI, don't know how much longer Rachael can go with this little boy bouncing around within her. When she didn't labor during the full moon, we thought, surely Friday the 13th would be the day.
She's a darling girl and being very patient.
Anxious to hear what Jayden thinks of his brother:)

Costume Lady said...

I've changed my avatar to one of Brantley James Cyr at 8 mo. Can you see his beautiful face on the far left? He looks very much like Jayden when he was newborn~

DanaMo said...

hmm...moving around too much probably isn't a good idea. Oh well there are things to be done. I will work and rest, work and rest.

Aren't sonogram pictures amazing!?

Good morning Lynn, Thelma, JudyE and Wanda!

hedgie said...

Hi Judy, Wanda, Dana, and THELMA!!!! Good to see you with us again!

Love the avatar, Wanda!!

Dana, please don't overdo it, kiddo!

Sandi, if you are lurking...our yellow fog is starting. So far just dots all over everything but I'm sure it will be blanketing soon. Hate it! So glad my truck is in the garage.

hedgie said...

Cute eagle mascot on the RFK float in the Cherry Blossom Parade!

Oh, Linda...forgot to say how cool that you got to see your first eagle!!!!! Very inspirational!!
