«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 567 Newer› Newest»Good Morning. More time to give and receive hugs and to practice today what Lynn taught us about life. I am glad she is no longer ill but I so wish our miracle had indeed happened. I know about the Why's. They build our faith if we will let them. It takes some time. In His Time though it will all make sense. For now He has left us each other: Today's Gift.
Well said Glo, well said. She was all about living and making sure we knew that each of us was special to her. I hope to cultivate that trait myself in her honor.
It sounds good BEV. Thinking of you...HUGS♥
May the fishermen catch a plenty.
Morning all,
Already working on our "Lynn thoughts". The common thread is: caring, loving, supportive, gracious, dignity. So many wonderful memories for everyone.
We are all going to miss her greatly!
Off to start my day.
Will return in lurk mode to work on our loving tribute to Lynn.
Thanks GLO...much love coming your your way...
Morning to you all... I am still awake. No sleep for me at all, I tried and tried. My mind wouldn't shut off, just kept replaying the day. It is not a nightmare is it? I am really awake right?.
Noooo way...I am not going to work. I called out for my Wed and Thur yesterday.... I am off till Monday and will play that by ear come Monday. Can you see me answering 911 calls today or taking a police call today, I'd be screaming at pple for yelling at me! LOL no I am staying away from there for now.
I am so proud of you CAROLYN that you gave it an honest try to rest...I also much understand that you were not able to sleep. Step by step you are looking after yourself. I worried when I read that you would go in to work today and am relieved that you are NOT GOING TO WORK...Each in our own way we stood an Honour Guard for your MOMMA tonight so you were not alone...Step by step...one tiny small step at a time and do not push yourself.Are your daughters going to school or will they take some time off today?
Sometimes I think the miracle is when the fight is over, the pain is gone and we find peace in that.
Jewels, I am sure no one expects you to work for a while. You take your time and process all this. It is alot and God will get you through it.
SHAR you are wise, so very very wise...
Carolyn, it takes some time to process it all. Take it one day at a time. It seems so hard to believe, when the world keeps going on....
It does get better, bit by bit, each day. That is all I can tell you.
We will be here for you, and for each other.
Yea.... my girls didn't go today. We will see tomorrow when tonight gets here. They both slept last night but were up bright and early. Charlie too slept a good bit of the night. Jess and Charlie are asleep again. Have to be at the funeral home by 10:30. Make the cremation arrangements and the obituary notice. We will see what all is needed and then go to Mom's house and see if maybe she wrote one and had it somewhere, I don't know the first thing to write with that. I would need the whole Journal to say what I would like to say!!!
My candle is still burning. Maybe that is a reason I could not sleep. But I felt that I could not blow the candle out on her.
I am feeling comforted that she is pain free..
The phone just rang... it was her nurse at the Dr office. Bobbi... Mom loved her. She called to check on me and see if I needed anything. Said I could stop by the office anytime or I could call anytime. How sweet.. Mom was loved by sooo many and she loved everyone right back. I am still in shock.. wow... really? It is 9am!! I got to get ready... I love you all and will be on sometime. DOn't worry, I am ok... I feel your support..and when I walk outside and the sun shines on my face, I know its MOM!!!!
Yesterday, after 5:30 passed, people were posting frivilous things on Facebook, as we all do, and I felt offended by that. Like - how could you be speaking of such nonsense when we just lost someone so dear?
Caro, I would give anything to be there to give you a hug. I did know on Saturday and it was so hard. ((((((JEWELS)))))) ((((((CHRISTIE)))))
Carolyn, I don't think anyone would expect you to go to work right away. Take some time to rest, you have a lot to deal with. Losing a parent is rough, I can only echo what Paula said, it does get a little easier to deal with eventually, but you are a long way from that. So cry, and laugh and rest, and remember your Mom who was so precious to so many. ((HUGS)) to you and all your loved ones, if you need anything you have my cell #. Love you!
I hope everyone else is doing ok today. ((HUGS))
You are a GEM CAROLANNE...you already started, it is an offering from the heart...
In comes Shep wit the second catch of the day...Bro again gets up and stretches his wings..
MEGAN, touched by the songs you chose and working on being OK here.
Poof Shep.
Someone lands in the attic.
That youngster is wobbly too close to the edge!!!
I awoke this morning with a heavy heart, which is natural of all of us. I miss LYNN....
Then I thought to myself, LYNN is free, without pain, in Heaven, seeing her Daddy and others that went before her, happy, relieved, and living her new life in the Kingdom!
She has seen the face of Jesus! Because she believed, she, too, has conquered death. We know where she is and we know we will see her again.
I am happy for LYNN. She told me Saturday, she didn't want her life to continue the way things were. God answered that prayer and took her to paradise! That was HER miracle. You are right, Shar!
Music heals, Hoda, it just helps me cope. I think we're all working on being ok :)
Camera shakes twice...
In comes Ma Belle with a stick and Bro helps her put it in the right spot. She is now digging in the cup.
Good morning,
Having my coffee and just stopping in for a moment.
Yes Megan HUGS♥
Good Morning SHIRLEY.
(((Hugs)))
It is our loss while still here on earth that is difficult to bear.
That is why God gave us each other. If we all lived our lives without family and friends, we would have no support to get us throgh these times.
Thank you all for this wonderful group of Godly, loving, supporting people. We WILL get through this together.
CAROLYN and CHRISTIE - Again I say, we are here for you. Please know there isn't anything we wouldn't do for you. You WILL get through this, but it will take a long time. Your Mom was so instrumental in your life. Please call upon us. We want to do that for you and for our dear friend. xoxoxo
What is this mark onthe left side of Belles beak? A smudge I hope? Had anyone seen it before? PAULA?
Love those ((((( HUGS )))))
I think we need those a lot today!
OH LINDA!!! Your FAITH and your LOVE in your posts.A blessing to us all.
Well I did not see when Belle poofed I was listening to Megan's post on Facebook " Across The Universe"...
♥ Jewells, your post of last nite made me chuckle at the "frog needing a crane" comment - sounded like something Lynn would say.
Thanks HODA!!
You bring so much of God's LIGHT to this Blog as well. That is how we support one another! ♥
Without HIM, I am nothing. It is HE in me that shines through.
It's one huge Frog all right, and when Lynn got it placed, it was going to stay there whether it was the exact spot she wanted it in or not
Good Morning Eagle Pals ...
A sunny day yesterday, bright and warm, a good day for Lynn, the kind of day I think she liked
(( Hugs ♥ ))
Carolyn and Christie...We are Your Moms away from Mom....
It's raining today - I love the rain - helps with the sorrow of losing Lynn.
Hoda, I have seen that dark spot on her beak from time to time as well...
Carolyn and Christie, we are here for you....
when our dear Deb died... in November 2009 - there was a period of time with no contact from Deb, which was out of the ordinary....It was Lynn who made the calls, sent the emails, talked with Deb's family, and got the very sad news first, shared graciously and thoughtfully with us, then did tremendous service to Deb's family, and to us, helping to set up memorial donations....and
was part of the luncheon amongst us close here in honor of Deb....
Just one of the many things I remember about Lynn and how Special she has been
Sometimes "day by day" just doesn't work - sometimes it's "step by step" when we just can't imagine another day without a loved one and especially a Mom.
Good morning, I say with a heavy heart. Linda, you have a wonderful gift of saying the right thing. I do appreciate your comments. What Christi and Carolyn don't know, or maybe they do, they now have many momsters to turn to. We are here for them!!!
I texted with Lynn on Sunday when we traveled home. How precious are those comments now!
Hedgie and I joined the blog about the same time...Springtime of 2008, and had our first Nest Visit on June 7, 2008, during which we both met the first of many wonderful Momsters and I think Captain Gene was the lone Dadster that time.
Lynn was "Hedgesviller" then, turns out we knew a LOT of the same people....It was really special....♥
You know what has come to mind? Myrtle the turtle! Who with give her tomrato slices?
So many beautiful memories, that, gratefully, many of us can "share together."
Lynne2 - loved that you heard the Wood Thrush yesterday...I bet there are some singing in Lynn's Woods too!
And the Irish Blessing....
And so many touching comments both sad and joyful, of memories and tributes to our Lynn ♥
What Carolyn has written, will stay in my heart forever.
I'm going to do you all a favor, one that Lynn would appreciate....
I shall observe the Speed Limit and put the magpie brakes on for awhile...
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
I haven't seen by bluebirds yet since I have been here but haven't really had a chance to watch for them. I hope they moved in the bluebird house while we have been gone. It has been a month almost since I have been here at the camper and I have sure missed it.
Magpie, I am surprised that you and Lynn have been on the blog since 2008. I thought you were both founding members. At any rate, God knew I needed you all in my life and sent me right here!!
MARGY - Hearing from you is always a joy! Sharing our thoughts and memories is therapeutic. Just knowing we are together here is comforting to me.
LOLLY - Thank you for your kind comment. We're all in this together. Sometimes one speaks what the other thinks, right?
SISSY - Amen, Sista to that!! God directed me here, too.....
Thinking and praying for Carolyn and Christie as they are at the funeral home right now making their arrangements.
God be with them in this difficult hour and give them strength and clarity as they make their decisions.
You know you're special when you have your own folder in someone's Inbox!!
Lynn did!!
Sissy
Somehow, both Hedgie and I were at a point in our lives....where we jumped in, and realized quickly how soothing and joyful and educational our "Momstering" was.
I am not sure if she was watching the blog and lurking before then, but I was, and wondered "WHAT are these people talking about ???"
LOL
Welcome to some New Friends and some that post once in awhile...who have been on here within the last day sharing condolences and kind thoughts....Hope we see you more often.
Thinking of Carolyn and Christie as they meet to make arrangements...♥♥
Just watching those eaglets spreading their wings this morning. Wow! They have grown so much. Feathers on the wings.
So impressive....one delights the hearts with wingersizing, and the other, with some sort of self-feeding
Lynn would be Proud and Delighted with these birds today
Oh, heard some BeeGees music on "Lori and Loo's Radio" this morning...you know, the BeeGees is one of Lynn's favorite groups
Okay.....screeeech, brakes on,
time to "Go Make Dough" here at work xo
(( Forever Hugs ♥ ))
Trying to remember the founding Momsters who are still on the blog:
Mema Jo, Paula, Megan, me, Glo, Dana - help me here, who am I leaving out?
Pecking at that fish. I can't tell if the eaglet can get anything.
I am sorry for not posting sooner. Just read the terribly sad news about Lynn. I will miss her wisdom, generosity and humor. She was very helpful to me as she was to everyone. My heart goes out to her daughters and family. Sometimes there are not enough candles to light.
Posted on their page about an hour ago:
Animal Advocates of West Virginia is sad to announce that one of our volunteers, Lynn Riner, has passed away. Lynn fought tirelessly for animal rights and she was instrumental in forming AAWV. Lynn will be missed by many. Peace, Lynn. ♥
I do a lot of speech recognition in my work and I have to tell you that it is hard to edit a document through tears. Can't seem to stop once I start.
Beautiful Belle in the nest
She seems to be watching something...
Beverly I totally agree. I love going out in my camper and just getting away from it all.
I have to agree....God directed me here, also. I'm off to work now but as Sissy said, I'll be lurking with a heavy heart. Try to have a good day all. ((((Hugs to all))))
Sharon, had to stay off the blog this morning at school for exactly the reason that you just stated! I was absolutely sobbing at 5:30AM as I read Carolyn's posts from early this morning on the blog and on FB. But I knew I had an observation at 8AM that I had to pull myself together for (it went beautifully!!) One thing I have to say about a classroom full of kids is they take your mind off of EVERYTHING else! You have to be "in the moment" when working with them. It's what I need today!
I am going to head out and dig in the dirt. That is what I need. Still trying to grasp the situation. 2008, a very good year, that is also the year I chimed in.
Lynn and I talked about friendship. Friendship requires respect and she certainly had all of ours.
I vacuumed four heavily carpeted bedrooms at my brother in law's house last night.
woulda tried to fix a toilet tank but ran out of time
and spent some time with telephone calls
ended the night reading LARGE PRINT GUIDEPOSTS magazine
I am pretty sure I joined the blog in 2008 as well. Musta been a very good year!!
I am hoping I can come on here and speak wisely from my heart - but it is breaking. Carolyn and Christie, my prayers and thoughts are with you as you need to attend to arrangements.
Every ONE of you have said in your memories of Lynn exactly what made her such a special person to each of us. She had feelings for each of us and she sure didn't hide them. I have my whole family in sorrow with me: Kristen, Jenny, Michael, Charles and Ed. All of my family had love for Lynn.
I must address "The Frog" . Each time I would visit, I would need to pat The Frog on his head - sorta like a good luck motion - Like a Buddha. You be sure to get The Frog to your home.
I think of the Lighthouse & frog collections all through her home. I love her so much and I am starting to smile when thinking of her - She is a Lovely Lady that will live in my heart and be in my life forever ♥
I want to share a song with you all. Please listen to the lyrics! You are the leaves of my family tree!!! Love you.
Sing Together
Chicks are being fed at the Red-tailed Hawk nest.
AZPatti, I smile every time I see your name come up. So glad you are letting us know you here with us!
Osprey couple at Fin-Ferry, the Finland Water Nest, seems to have one egg and are incubating....

Does my heart good that I can bring a smile. Decided I needed to be here more than at work. Will work on getting this blogging thing down. In with both feet, right?

Hello everyone
Dex and i went to the Marina for a walk. I just needed to get out and see and hear nature around me for a while. I am now at my computer. I will make tea, turn on the cam and try to see through eyes of gratitude all that we are and have here.
GOOD MORNING FRIENDS...
Through the death of our dear LYNN, I have been recalling the death of my father.
He had been in a nursing home for 5 months and because of a brain tumor, went downhill quickly in that time. He cried at first and then wanted to go home (this is natural), then when he accepted his room as his new home, he asked GG to stay there with him. He had a matress on the floor beside his bed in case he fell. He wanted her to sleep there. She would tell him she had to go home and get some supper, but would be back soon. That was how we left him for so many days and weeks...him wanting GG to sleep near him. Then, slowly, he lost his ability to speak and his whole left side was paralyzed. He had no way of communicating with anyone. We found him, more than once, wet from head to toe and still in his night clothes at 12noon, cold and shivering. A talk with management took care of that, but it still sticks in my soul. Our last day with him was a morning of anguish, he was unconcious with open, staring eyes, not hearing or seeing. I held his hand and in doing so, pulled his blanket off of his shoulder and arm. Upon covering him up I felt nothing but skin and bones...so shocked was I, that I laid my head down on his hand and prayed to God to take him. There was no reason for him to go on like that...10 minutes later, he took a very deep breath and turned his head toward GG and looked her right in the eyes. She told him she loved him, and then it was the end. We all cried on the way home, but through the Grace of God, was able to make the necessary arrangements.
During the viewing and funeral, I did not shed a tear. I felt God had gifted us with his death so that he would suffer no more.
In the year that followed, I shed tears many times. On Father's Day at Church, I didn't think I could hold it together...with the help of Gene's strong, loving arms, I managed to get through that service.
On Dad's birthday, we had family and friends over for a spaghetti dinner, which was his favorite thing in the whole world (CONCOVIA)
After saying a blessing, Dad's Grandfather clock chimed over and over...it hadn't worked for years! It has been working ever since~
My point in writing all of the above, is to let CAROLYN and CHRISTIE know that is OK to be glad that their Momma is not suffering anymore, and to dwell on that and to be glad they were in her life so often when she needed them most...no regrets for not visiting or helping out when they could...they did it all and we and God love them for being so faithful to their Momma♥♥
Good morning Delphia. Good to see you over here with us this morning.
I've been lurking. Lots of cams to watch LOL
Great Song, Shar! We truly are bound to the Sycamore Tree in Shepherdstown.
As Jesus said, "I am the vine and you are the branches," we hold a similar connection to our Sycamore Palace as we are the leaves on a Grand Tree that holds a beloved nest, Belle, Shep and their chicks..... and friendships we deeply treasure for a life time! ♥
Oh Wanda! Thanks so much for sharing that with us. I love you!
When Daddy died, as well as Tom's brother Darrel, we were praying that every breath would be his last and at the same time praying it wouldn't.
I ended my message without telling the similarities between my experience with Dad and LYNN.
When I hugged LYNN goodbye, Saturday evening, I felt as though I was holding my Dad's arm again...so frail, nothing left to hold on to.
Thank You, Lord for taking her into her HEAVENLY home and making her whole again~ Amen
I have been up since early morning with a heavy heart and still with the flowing of tears. For a wonderful lady I met. When Lynn came on it gave me excitement because it was someone special to share my birthday with (since we had the same month and day). I remember telling her in a phone call that I was so happy to have someone to share that day with. She was too. Lynn will always be in my heart and loved.
I feel so much for Carolyn and Christie in making the final arrangements. ((((Hugs to them both))) Keeping them in prayer with Charlie and Shannon and the grandgirls.
Carolyn and Christie we all love you. Through the many special things your Mother spoke about you two. You are "FAMILY Here". This will not be easy for either of you I know. Glad you took off work Carolyn. Losing someone as close to you as this. Is not living day by day. It is like second by second.
She said she just couldn't live like this anymore. God "heard her and answered her". Lynn/e will always be apart of my life, my heart and I know God brought us together.
Sissy, writing that was so theraputic for me. It's been 12 years since my Dad passed, but I still miss him so much!
I love all of you....Hugs to each and everyone of you in this group.♥
Wanda, beautiful words. I remember spending those last few months with my daddy and him going from a strong, big proud man to someone I had to bathe every day and take care of almost like a baby. As hard as it is to think and especially say, there are some things way worse than death. Love and hugs to you my friend.
Beautiful, WANDA! We are truly blessed to see LYNN go to her HEAVENLY home without having to go through even more suffering than she experienced. She never had to leave her home. What a blessing!
Matt 11:28-29 says Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
LYNN's prayer was answered as she was heavy laden and needed eternal rest from her earthly body. Her glorified body is GORGEOUS right now!
WE will find rest through Him! He promises to comfort us and He will!!
{{{{{{ HUGS OF COMFORT }}}}}}
I presume we already plan to name one of the chicks Lynn or Hedgie??
So funny - I was thinking Hedgie and for the second one "Frog" - I loved the frog stories from Caro and Wanda
Hubby just came home sick from work. Catch y'all later.
Hedgie would be AWESOME!!
Great Idea, Delphia!
My thoughts are with the two beautiful daughters that she has left behind The hardest things that they have to do now is happening Both my parents had all the arrangements already made I was so thankful that they had everything taken care of We only had to pick out the container for them Make one think about our own mortality doesn't it Maybe I should prepare my end so my kid won't have such a hard job like they are
-------------------------------
I also have a file in my email box with some email that I have keep from the blog ONE was from Aug from HEDGIE
hedgie has left a new comment on the post "Tuesday":
That is really cool, Judy. How come it took so long for you to find us??
Lolly, surely hope the horses are rescued....wild ones???
When Michael does something, he does it right, doesn't he? Know you are proud that he is so successful. ;)

Can we reprogram from Missy and Bro?
I am so grateful we have the name Shep! She so wanted that to be her legacy.
If I have a say or vote or whatever in this, I don't think I can do the name of Hedgie this year for an eaglet. Too painful right now. Next year I could probably do but not this year.
My feeling about the names is that SHEP is the name Lynn wanted and the name that had the most votes. Shep will be Belle's partner for years to come, I pray and Missy and Bro will be flying off soon. I suggest SHEP be there as our reminder of Lynn.
Sounds good to me! ♥
I know I got quite a few comments when in voting. I said I was changing my vote to the name Lynn wanted "Shep". I knew when she and I talked how much she truly wanted that name and why. I was so thrilled when our male eagle got the name "Shep"....You got it Lynn/e :)
Want to remember to Congratulate Kay, Julie and Hugh, and especially SETH on his upcoming ceremony this afternoon, being inducted into the National Honor Soceity ! Bravo ! Clap clap Clap xoxo ☺
Just look at Missy up there at 11:00
She is going to twitch my nerves..
Kay - I remember my feelings when my grandchildren made it into Honors.
Proud as a peacock would describe me.
When ever you get to your comfort zone
I would hope you and Seth and even Julie come down for a visit..... ♥
Looks like they are telling secrets to each other LOL I love it that they do seem to get along for the most part Jordyn is down for a nap of course Wow LIL BRO breathe fast
I just had my reminder from the Redskins
Store - Ever since I had made a purchase for Lynn I get their emails.
Carolyn & Christie - each day and maybe even a year from now there will be reminders of your Mom. Smile and enjoy them! ♥♥
Checking in with Love and Prayers for all.
I'm going through pictures for Carol Anne---found Myrtle!
In the wee hours last night, Jewels posted a most wonderful touching message. I copied it & it's in Documents to read forever.☺
Yes, fitting grey day---was planning to plant more flowers, but that can wait.
Love for Lynn's family and friends
Missy rally preens herself a lot
Taking a break ♥
Whew! Missy was too close to the edge for me!
I know she was to close at 6 when she did poop shoot and now at 12 she lives on the edge to much and you know that they must know that the edge is there because of the poop shoots they aim over the nest so they know it exists I am having issues with cam this am couple of time went to big arrow and twirley thing
For all Momsters/Dadster
I have set up an album on the Momsters/Dadsters site. You can feel free to enter photos for us to remember Lynn. I didn't remember her favorite NASCAR driver - Loretta could you help with that.
If you are not yet a Momster - please join the group. It is a great way to look at pictures and to receive messages.
That's what I was doing when I took a break.
Dale Jr. was her favorite driver, right?
Just went and looked at it JO very nice and you can comment if you want I did on the first picture Thanks you for doing this for all you are a sweet heart I LOVE US
Well if he was - find a pic and put it in that album for us. thanks ♥
Miss is up she doens't seem to need as much sleep as LIL Bro she is so dark when she doesn't spread her wings on back
POOP SHOOT
Dana Thanks. She loved her DC and the Cherry Blossoms were part of that!
Their feathers look so different from the ones on the two juve I saw the other day they look soft and not like feathers
Did I tell you I walked the hole parking lot at Walker Ford and right under the nest also looking for a feather for HODA but didn't find anything no bones or anything directly under it I was sort of skerred to go under it LOL Poopshoot all the people talked about parking in that area
I don't have pic of grandaughter Jen
Does anyone
Leaving for a few
BBL
Racing Yep That is where Lynn reached out and touched my son's life. He had tickets to the World of Outlaws race a couple of years ago. He was excited to go and yet wanted a video of the race to also keep as a memory. I did not get Speed nor did I have a VCR to record if I did. I put a message on FB asking if anyone could possible record the race . You guessed it. Lynn stepped right up to the plate. I talk to my son on Thursdays every week. I told him of her passing today. He too sends his gratitude for a lady he never met yet reached out to him, and sincere prayers for her family and friends who grieve her loss. Lynn is in so many many lives in so many many ways.
JO I put on 5 pic in the album one of Dale Jr and one of the eagle pic with the fly on its head that she so dearly loved and cherry blossom pictures also
Mema Jo - I think there is a pic of Jen on Lynn's blog & possibly Jewels
Jo, check Lynn's blog...I think she has some pictures on there we may want to put in the album as well.
Dale Sr. and then Dale Jr. after Sr.'s death were her favs. I posted pics!
As we are so fond of saying: I LOVE US.
SANDI am very glad your observatin went well.
WANDA God Bless you and your family. I hear your story of your father's passing. HUGS♥
PRAYERS of gratitude for LYNN'S life and for CAROLYN'S and CHRISTIE'S love of their MOMMA.
Well after a shower, I feel some better. The rain has stopped and I am gonna type these last few reports and head to the water. Might see an osprey at least down there.
time to sign off the work computers soon...
thinking of Carolyn and Christie, hoping their day is going ok, that plans are coming together, and they can catch up on some rest.....
I'll check my pictures for one of Jenn, from a May nest visit a years ago, and other things I might have
(( Hug Yourselves, and let your Loved Ones In on it Also !! People and Pets...))
God Bless Us, Every One,
and God Bless the Friendships we have and share with each other...
xoxox (( Hugs ♥ ))
Hello everyone...I've been thinking about
the first time I meet Lynn.
I felt like I knew her from
the emails and phone calls prepping this
newbie to go to the May 2009
nest visit for Hidey.
Lynn and Margy were the first ones
I met in the parking lot.
What a wonderful day and I certainly felt most welcome with such a wonderful group of Momsters. I love us!
Big Hugs for this entire, beautiful group!
Prayers for Lynn's daughters and their families, her mother and other friends.
I have to say that I love how "I love us" has caught on because I do!!!
Dinner time for Missy. Bro just watching.
Now Bro joins in.
Shep in with a fish, which Belle promptly removes from his possession.
Time or a quick check in before getting ready to go to the H.S.--every little thing takes me so long to accomplish these days.
WOW, THE WHOLE FAMILY IS AT THE NEST ! GLAD THE LITTLE ONE IS AWAY FROM THE EDGE NOW !
Shep poofs.
In comes Shep with a fish....Belle sounds the siren this is why I look up...she takes the fish from him and he hangs out for a bit and poofs. She was feeding prior to his arrival an is now standing on the fresh catch and the chicklettes are waiting.
Congratulations to Seth! Kay that is wonderful news~!!
Never you mind KAY take as long a time as you need to get ready and then give yourself a pat on the back for doing so well. I am so pleased you will attend the induction.
You done good with this expression SHAR...as you have done with so much more. HUGS♥
JEWELS, I wondered when you said you had to be up at 10 or so this a.m., why ? Couldn't imagine you getting up for anything but work or a doctors appt. with Charlie, but now I understand. I just know you have the same "True Grit" your mother possessed and that's going to get you through the next days, months and beyond. ♥
I have to agree on the eaglet names. Bro and Missy they are and their great dad is Shep. We'll always remember how much LYNN wanted that and how valid her reasons were.
Love to see that wingersizing ! Can't believe how they are growing.
Kay, enjoy your evening and be sure to
soak up all those proud feelings of Seth! He'll be
so proud that you are there! Big HUGS!
I want that loose feather in the nest. Would someone go get it for me? NU????
Kay, I know you are so proud of Seth. We are with you in spirit as you celebrate his accomplishments!
Had I found the blog and joined up when I first began watching eagles around the country, including these at NCTC, I'd have met LYNN in person. My health did not begin to fail til' last Fall. I guess it's no use kicking myself all over the back lot, for what's done is done, but I wish......
I love reading all your beautiful memories and comments, both about our LYNN and about the same kinds of occasions you've each had in your own lives. God bless you all !
Love and prayers for JEWELS, Christie, all suffering physically and Momsters/Dadsters everywhere.

OH look at what is in the nest aat seven area...I want it!!!I know I know LYNN said it was not legal!!! LOL!!! I can dream though...
Might be legal in Canada though Hoda!
Except I laid claim on it first!
NO WAY SHAR!!! That is mine!!! I eyed it when it first happened!!!LOL!!!
HODA - that would be a mighty expansive feather:
The eagle feather law provides many exceptions to federal wildlife laws regarding eagles and other migratory birds to enable Native Americans to continue their traditional practices.
Under the current language of the eagle feather law, individuals of certifiable Native American ancestry enrolled in a federally recognized tribe are legally authorized to obtain eagle feathers. Additionally, it must be noted that a change in law made it legal for all active, non active and reserve members past ,present and future, of the United States Army 101st Screaming Eagle Division, to possess one single eagle feather in honor of their service. These feathers are not allowed to be passed on to any non 101st member or non-native. Unauthorized persons found with an eagle or its parts in their possession can be fined up to $25,000. The eagle feather law allows for individuals who are adopted members of federally recognized tribes to obtain eagle feathers and eagle feather permits.
opps - expensive
OK, ladies...it is MINE, I am headed down there right now with my climbing shoes on!
I have never seen a whole eagle feather in the nest before...or anywhere, for that matter! Beautiful, isn't it?
My great, great, great-grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Reckon that counts! :)
I haven't either and not sure who it came off of.
Shar - PROVE IT!! lol
Then . . . .maybe
Hmmmm, I will get right on that.
Is that a reflection off the end of the feathers?
Shar, you have to join a tribe after you prove your heritage. I don't have enough Native American blood, but I can whoop like an Indian at times:)
Now it just looks like the soft downing part blowing in the breeze.
oops, downy part.
My delete...it sounded too foolish for words so I deleted it!!!
Afternoon (or is it evening) all! Have been on the phone with my Mom and with banks to get this condo sale moving along.
Thinking about Carolyn and Christie and their families and what a difficult day this must be for them.
Kay, how wonderful that Seth is being inducted into the National Honor Society! We have a chapter of the Jr. Honor Society at our school and the induction ceremony makes me cry every year! You must be so proud!!! Congrats!
Wanda, what a touching story about your Dad's passing.
AZPatti, welcome!!

Just woke again to see Missy and Bro eating.

I love all the eagle group people♥
OMGosh Robyn is on the news. Turn on channel 7 ABC WJLA

ooops, sorry I switched the names, but they were both on the news.
Shep in with another fish.
In comes Shep with another fish...the one he had brought in a whild ago is all gone...Poof Shep
Shep poofs as babes and Belle watch.
Welcome AZPATTI...it was very heart warming that you chimed in yesterday...I like your pad and your dog
Patti, be forewarned that this blog is addictive! I've only been posting for about 6 months after several years of lurking. Now, the blog is the first thing I read every morning and the last thing I read every night! And when I lost my internet connection one evening, the withdrawal was terrible!
It's also the "home" of the most wonderful, caring, supportive group of folks I have EVER met!!
When I started watching the cam and blogging in 2006, I would try to talk to my family about how awesome it all was and they would tell me to get a life. I told them I had one and it was really good. One of the people that told me that was . . . none other than Eagle-Eyed's Sissy. More was revealed!
Tori's Story on the News
I got tired of this sad, gray day
and finally had to do something.
I went outside and picked a bouquet of
flowers for Lynn, then lit
a candle and posed her eagle plaque on the vase.
It's pretty...like Lynn, beautiful, to me.
I posted a picture on my blog
if anyone wants to do the same.
I love you all, so much.
I also posted the video of Tori's news story on my FB page. The other link is above!!
Yeah, Tori!! LYNN would be sooooo proud to see this!
Thanks for the heads up about the story DanaMo!
Now I am crying again. Tori is such a blessing and a miracle.
She sure is, Shar. It was so bittersweet on Saturday with that strong feeling of one beautiful life blossoming as another was fading away.
Thanks, HODA!
Sandi, I was addicted before I ever mushed up the courage to post. :-)
Tori is amazing. You're right, LYNN would be so very proud!
I've changed my avatar to
my tribute to Lynn.
I can't wait until I grasp
the happiness that she's
gone on to her grand promotion. But, that hasn't hit yet.
Lori thank you it is just beautiful. I am going to plant a tree for my dear dear friend Lynn♥
Here is my new avatar for Lynn.
She would love that Shar!
Thanks for the link to Tori's story, Linda. I turned on the news just in time to see the ending.
I will need to post it on my FB page.
Have been pretty busy here. Kathryn is still sick and I have been trying to take care of her needs and keep up with Hunter.
Need to make a grocery store run this evening to pick up some items for Kathryn. I prefer to go out while it is still light, so that needs to be soon.
BBL.
Shirley - It is on my FB page. You can just go and share it from there, if you'd like!
I am sure Robyn is so proud and happy to see Tori living her life again!
BREAKING NEWS A strange east wester wind is scheduled to blow across the country from WV to IL. The Nat Weather Service is not broadcasting the expected time of the event as there is a piece of precious cargo that could be fluttering around if loosened just a bit from a certain location. All eyes are on the cargo but alas night will fall and will it still be there in the am or Gone With the Wind. Folks in Western IL are prepared to stay up all night if necessary to gauge wind gusts and directions. MTBR.
GLO, YOU CANNOT HAVE IT EITHER!!!!@
I suspect it will be a southerly wind, Glo, right to Dublin, VA!!!
LOL I'm from IL. We are too busy tracking down our governors to send them to prison to care what the common person is doing at 3 am. :-)Nobody will see know or suspect a thing.
Sharon ratted me out!! I was thinking how in the world can she sit and watch that cam all day and talk to people she doesn't even know!! LOL! Man was I ever wrong!! For a while, I would have 6 or 7 cams going at one time. I have cut down to one most of the time now. Sometimes, I sneak a peek at the pandas. I have met some of the best friends of my life right on this very blog. Go figure.
Tori's News Spot
This coverage is wonderful......... ♥
I am gonna take my Ellie Mae and stroll around the campground before dark. I will check back in with ya'll in a bit. Love and hugs all around!!
The Shepherdstown forecast for tomorrow is 61 & SUNNY. Lynn loved the sunshine!
Headed off to yoga and will follow LORI'S example with flowers and a lit candle for LYNN when I come back.
{{{{HUGS}}}}♥
I am going to contract Nu for "Feather Removal" Maybe the fine isn't
as great for an 6 week old Eaglet as it is for a 5 yr old bald eagle. Ya Think?
Bed time here. Prayers for Lynn's family and Kay. See you in the morning. I love you all so much.
I have just returned from Bob Evans for a soup and salad. We laughed because their salads which were always lettuce and tomatoes and croutons has changed and we said they are now High Class. They have included onion and cucumbers.
And even grated cheese.
I had napped (deep sleep) this afternoon and I awakened to realize I was texting in my dreams. I am just beginning to send and receive text messages. I feel so With It.
Sleep Well, Lori ♥
Kay I hope you can find a good seat and enjoy the ceremony at school.
Lori and others - your avatars are looking so good in remembering Lynn.
It is still very difficult to think of Lynn being gone - actually gone....
