I see many are up and moving well ahead of me! No surprise there!!
Delphia - Prayers for Pepper. This is NOT good timing, so I pray God has more time here for him in your life. Our pets are such a comfort to us, arent they? Praying for you, too.
Hoping KAY had a good night last night and feels MUCH better today! Will call her later this afternoon and check in.
Checking in between meetings at school. Delphia, I am so sorry to hear about Pepper not doing well. You certainly need distractions right now, but not this kind!! I am sending prayers and positive energy your way, for you and for Pepper!
Hoping to hear that Kay is feeling a little better today.
Charlie's gallbladder surgery is today? Missed that over the weekend - did read that he was back in the hospital.
for Bird Girl (now busy with many things this morning...)
I am so sorry to read about your beloved Pepper...I hope she will be comfortable and that if she has to cross over the Rainbow Bridge soon...that it will be peaceful and pain-free...
I am not really sure if today WILL be surgery day for Charlie...as I recall there was still some question as to whether yes or no today... maybe there is more updates on another source ?? like FB ?? I did sent Carolyn a couple of text messages last evening that she would get at midnight after work...BUT...did they go through? She usually answers at one minute past midnight... will NOT ring her up yet...she might still be sleeping... (( Hugs and Prayers for Charlie and Carolyn, Jess and Jenn ))
Shirley Good Luck finding that bathing suit! I was so wanting to go to Swinging Bridge and dip in the creek Sunday but there was just NO time for it...
And I wish Hunter and all of you the very best of the Summer !
Well...I am forgetting something but I do see that Lynne2 says rain is coming Tuesday and Wednesday...so I'll save my 18 gallons of flower water for laundry instead
Loretta...I "read you" on your tomatoes...I have one the same size, just one only....and a few flowers on the other two. Am trying green peppers this year but they look scraggly...
And SOMETHING is nibbling on leaves on all plants..think it is rabbit !!
Good morning again everyone. I am starting my work day now. Hard to get back into the swing of things. Thanks everybody for all your comments on the wedding pics. It was a glorious day indeed. Now I just have to wait until Wednesday to hear from them. I do not like that, Sam I am.
Good afternoon to all...now that I'm all caught up.
Hoping Kathryn takes her time. Am very happy for her and it is good to hear she is keeping her options open for awhile :)
Glo sounds like Becky is doing very well.
Jewels sorry you did not get to that girls party. You do sound better though with Charlie sitting up in chair. Continue prayers for the both of you and the girls. Happy that you have a guest that feels like you are her mother :)
JudyE thank you so much for that eagle feather. That makes my first one with you giving it to me. Now just don't call DNR on me lol
Thanks for that video JudyE wonder if that is the youngest an eaglet has fledged (8 weeks)?
Oh Linda I am in tears of Kay's being able to sit in a chair to eat her meals. God Is Good!! I will continue my prayers she get the rehab she wants and prayers while she recoverys in rehab.
Margy I just love what your "James the Wise" say's at times. That was a good one :)
Hunter Happy Vacation from School. Hope you enjoy your time out and find good things to get into.
Oh Delphia such a hard thing to do for your sweet Granny Dog. She has been by your side for a long time. It is good that you are ready to do what is right for Pepper. Prayers for you for the results of test and prayers for you and Pepper. (((hugs)))
Adding GG to prayer list since I read she fell. Don't know whole story pray she is ok.
Continue prayers for Melvin (my 1st ex husband) and his wife. Sad he now has to stay out of the sun the rest of his life. He never did have any children.
b>Shep (almost called him Spot) just made food drop with only 1 eaglet in nest.By the time the fish was gone I had to take a phone call & I missed whatever happened!
This was a poem read by Linda Wiseman, Kelsey's aunt, at the wedding titled "The One".
When the one whose hand you're holding Is the one one who holds your heart When the one whose eyes you gaze into Gives your hopes and dreams their start, When the one you think of first and last Is the one who holds you tight, And the things you plan together Make the whole world seem just right, When the one whom you believe in puts their faith and trust in you, You've found the one and only love You'll share your whole life through.
In this avatar is where the eaglets where when I arrived. On the far left branch up high where there are no leaves is where Bro was. To the far right where the eagle is sitting on the branch is where Missy was sitting when I arrived. They were comical. Missy would preen. Bro did not let her out do him...he would preen. Then Missy would spread her wings....Bro then spread his as if your not going to out do me up here. lol
It was something to see even without the glasses you could tell Missy (so large) compared to Bro (so small). How they were sitting was almost like straight across from each other. I did try call a couple of people to relay the inforation. Loretta thank Frank for me.
I knew I had to give myself enough time to get back to church by 7pm. As I was thinking of the show their parents put on for us. About that time Bro flew off the branch first. Soaring around the high up part of the tree. Then further out into the sky while Missy sat on her branch. It was a beautiful sight to watch.
I guess Missy decided your not going to out do me. Off of her branch she flew. She did not circle the nest. Since Bro was soaring high. Missy decided to start soaring...oh so beautiful to see. Then she went higher and higher until the two were soaring together. Brother and Sister enjoying the skies together. Something I will remember for a long long time. Then Bro flew down into the nest and Missy to her spot on her branch up high.
I had to leave but I had a wonderful time. On the way out heading towards Shepherdstown. A beautiful doe jumped out further in the road not so close to my car. What a beauty. God has such a beautiful plan. When he created ♥
Both juvies in the nest and a quarter left over fish at one next to railing. They are both full and now one is eating. one is plotzed and the other is standing at five.
OK I have a date with the maid...the vacuum and I have to be reacquinted and the bathroom needs a scrub... See you all after I finish my chores, I first had to remind myslef how much money I am saving because I do not have an actual maid!!!I am it, and at least it is done to my satisfaction when it is done...LOL!!!
LYNNE it was the most understated post by WANDA she simply included it with her goodnight post last night...did not say much else... I hope you are having a good day at work...this is Hoda's maid typing so I had better get o n with the work so Hoda can come back to the blog...bye all!!! LOL!!!
Hoda...I have a maid. His name is Jack! (he does not do bathrooms, mop, dust or do windows!) I also have a yardperson, Lolly, and a cook Lolly. Funny same name!
Lunch was good and fun to see friends...fellow teachers. I am not real active in this group as we travel and are gone too much. I pay my local and and state dues and attend when I can. Sad to hear those who are sick. Guess this goes along with getting older.
Thank you Andrew for coming along during a rough part of my life and filling up the gap. Now she came along and he filled up her . . . . heart! (LAUGHS)
This is not at all what he intended to say but it was so funny.
GRANNY DOG UPDATE: We are waiting on bloodwork to see how her kidneys and liver are doing, as well as checking for other things such as infection and Valley Fever. Some results should be back this afternoon, others in a few days. Pepper did eat about two tablespoons of no-sodium roast beef, and Mom and I made a quick batch of food for her that we hope she will eat (hamburger, roast beef, brown rice, green beans and scrambled eggs). Vet said she isn't terribly dehydrated, not in desperate need for fluids just yet; I'm to keep up with the Pedialyte and water by syringe. Ok to post this on the Momster blog!
I got up from my nap and found this in my email from Kay's daughter, Julie:
KAY UPDATE
Hi Lori, I got your message. My mom has improved--she is moving around much better than before and seems to be gaining strength. I think she will be in the hospital a day or two longer because she has been nauseous again and isn't eating. I will let you know when she leaves there and goes to rehab! Thanks for your concern! Julie
Sorry she has been nauseous again, but glad they will keep her until she is really ready to go to rehab. It seems as if they are always getting them out as soon as possible, and sometimes too soon!
I'm lovin' Sharon's avatar!! Day off~~~~so, dental appt! I'm starving, but he gave me a shot for 2 fillings? (I hate shots!!) and everything is not staying in my mouth unless I hold my lip shut!!
Prayers for Delphia and her Pepper. Hope Becky is still progressing well and Kay gets much better!!!♥♥♥
Thanks LORI for KAY update...glad she is in hospital longer to fix the nausea issue and also glad she is getting up...THANKS AND HUGS LORI you are the BEST.
He vacuums, mops, occasionally does the toilets, COOKS (more in the winder than the summer), always cleans up after dinner unless I shoo him out of the kitchen. He DOES do windows.
He doesn't dust, rarely cleans the stove, rarely does laundry!!
He is also my gardener and yard man! He cuts, splits, and stacks the wood so we stay warm in the winter!!
I do have to sneak behind him and do the really detailed thorough cleaning, but I think I have it "made," if you know what I mean!!!
Margy that just doesn't sound right that they let Charlie go home. Maybe he needs to see a doctor in Winchester!!!!!!!! Before something terrible happens that can't be reverse.
I thank the few that said they would pray for my ex husband and his wife.
I can't understand most of you that would not say to me "Yes I will pray for you ex and his wife". Dear God what grudges some of you must hold. That is truly SAD
Hi - finished our evening meal and I do think the rains are close by - Might not set my plants out this time - the last storm flattened them and it seem to take forever for them to perk up.
Lori - thanks for Kay's update. The nausea can and probably is being caused by the drugs - similar to the one drug I just recently had - I'm sure Julie will let us know when Kay gets to go to rehab.
...as to the maid issue, this is when getting married and having kids would have been a good idea!!! I love your stories as to how your husbands and children help with the house work...
Hoda, ever since Michael was a baby, he has done the dishes every night. I put away food and wipe the counters and stove. He did this so I could get outside quickly with him and Michael.
After the kids were gone, he started cooking as he got home before me. When my back got bad he took over the vacuuming. Now, we both do laundry and I think he does it more often than me! BUT, I work in the yard with him. We have worked out a great balance, we are a team and we LOVE to cook together. Yes, our marriage is a very good thing!!
Lori, thank you for the update on Kay. I'm sure the nausea is drug-induced and she'll improve quickly as the meds are decreased. Her body has had quite a shock.
Hoda, when your maid has finished at your place, please send her along to me. I would enjoy having her around. She can even bring her dragon boat.
Thought I had missed a more detailed comment about GG. So glad it wasn't serious. Wanda, please let GG know I'm asking for her and give her a hug from me.
Surprised Charlie was released from the hospital today. Sure hope he is able to get the needed surgery before too much longer.
Delphia, sure hoping that Pepper's lab reports come back with optimistic results.
Margy, I will also miss the Kestrel babes. All six fledged and successfully, I hope.
Home from work I see two eagles in the nest to beautiful eagles
LORI thanks for the update on KAY KAY thinking of you and sending healing thought to you and hope the nausea goes away pronto JO thanks for the update on Pepper I hope for Delphia she makes it always good to have a good friend during times like these
WVGALDANA I don't think anyone meant that they won't pray for your X sometime you know how the blog gets our minds is full of our daily activities and work and home life and sometime just can't comment of each item on the blog Each and everyone on this blog is in my heart and thoughts daily without having to say so on the blog I think I speak for everyone here no harm was intended
Delphia is waiting on a report of blood work on Granny Dog. Pepper checked out ok but Delphia needs to keep her on Pedialyte and water by syringe. I think we were getting the dogs mixed up. I pray both of them perk up and stay around much much longer
You guys are so lucky to have a good maid that you married When I was married it didn't work that way I was his slave LOL But now he has to do everything his new wife is a hypochondriac and a pill popper and a drunk sorry but its the truth she lays in bed all day I hear
Angie is so lucky to have Carl he is a good maid toooooo
Ho Ho! Judy - Lolly's HE was Jack not Baby Michael.......... At first when Jack's name wasn't mentioned I also thought Michael was doing dishes so his mom had time to come out a play in the yard with him....... Words can be so confusing at times.......
Let's keep our Faith in our Prayers....and the Medical Team...
I'm so darn busy and going in many different directions these days can hardly even think straight, and I am a single person, and without many of the close-by family obligations that many not only have, but the company they also enjoy so dearly...I miss that, my family is all over the place...
Often we have to just gather up all our prayers and concerns for each other with a few single phrases such as Prayers for all, Hugs For All, and Love for All...
if there is not the time to mention each and every one....personally I am not going to stress over it...I might be sorry I cannot do that, but to stress over it takes me away from my energy to say and think those prayers and thoughts...
I'm signing off for the night, I'll probably "see you" tomorrow, but it's workday, there is meeting, and a court appearance...
Prayers for Wellness Amongst us, Our Family, Friends and Pets...
Margy have been kept in prayer. I know you have a lot on you. God Bless You for being such the fine woman I have always known you to be. (((hugs to you))) xxxoooo
Wish there was some way I could help take the load off you.
Bless you Margy for what you said. Honey you would be the one to feel badly that you didn't mention each prayer when ask. Darling God knows who all I am speaking of so please don't put yourself there.
Sadly others don't feel the way you do Honey. You are a wonderful and dear person. May God Bless You♥
Oh, did I mention the Osprey nest at the beach has 3 chicks! My neighbor Sue Ellen and I went up on her upstairs bedroom deck and put the scope on them. Got to see Mom feeding all 3, they all look great!
Lolly, you trained Michael to do dishes? Good on you!!! WVDana, we might not mention every name in our closing comments, but when you see "Prayers for all", etc.,that includes Melvin and many others. ☺ ♥
Paula, how cool about the ospreys. I hope they got that UStream camk going at Park! Got most stuff ready for work in AM. Now there is some gum, etc. soreness now that the novacaine wore off! BOO If I konk out, Pleasant Feather Dreams and Prayers for Good Health ;>)
well, I just had a hilarious thing happen. I was out weeding a flower bed on the PatiOasis. The side I was working on is an old railroad tie, with a hole in it, and I was sitting on the ground, leaning over the hole, when out pops a toad!! Scared the heck outa me! I was cracking up... And while I was still laughing about that, ANOTHER one popped out! So funny!
I am so bad about blogging these days and only 10 days left of school.
I need your power of prayer for Gina Kosla the little girl who had the transplant last year.
Seems her campath treatment may not have worked and they are thinking about bringing her back for a re-transplant eval in a few weeks after they see her bronch.
We really need some prayers for Gina to help her get thru this, I can only imagine how we would be feeling if this was Tori and I thank God everyday sometimes more that so far she is doing fantastic.
I hope everyone is well, I am only on FB these days due to school, and the ability to start living our lives outside the home. Smart phones help us stay in contact while out...
This is my last class, and though it is easy at times it is a combination of every class I had regarding my masters program and I am in a group project. I am taking 6 months to a year off, will seek employment in the fall and may go back for my MBA in Human Resource.
FYI Taco Bells cinnamon twist are good the nest day I bought some last night when I got my salad and forgot about them till I just found on counter MMMMM still good not stale
I do have to get to bed...12 hour shift tomorrow. What the heck was I thinking?? Can't play from work, it hangs up my computer for some reason... may not be back til Wed.
JUDIE...have maid will travel with her Dragon Boat and all...
LOLLY BLESSED BE for you and for your JACK...
I wrote MEMA JO an email because my heart was so full and I want to bring part of this email here:
"I am very honoured and humbled to have one of the plaques that DEAR PRECIOUS LYNN♥ brought to our group. Christie wrote a beautiful note to go with it. I have tears. I will cherish it always.
Friendship is not measured by the length of time a person knows another. I did not know LYNN for very long but she has certainly made a lasting impression on my life and I am forever grateful for this friendship.
so
I came for the eagles and stayed for the friendships I made.
Trying to keep up, but not always doing very well with it.
Hunter and I put a fence and a lot of netting around my garden today. I had one tomato getting ripe and something beat me to it. Shucks!! Noticed a bite taken out of one of my green tomatoes, too. Double shucks!!
And something has knocked down several corn plants. George? Oh my, I do not want to think about that.
Maids?
Well, Kathryn told Hunter to vacuum the family room as one of his tasks for today. It looks like he made one pass through the room and then he left the vacuum sitting there. But Mom did not say to put the vacuum away.
This Hunter-tasking thing might be more work for me than for Hunter.
Two lovely pin oak trees are sitting in my driveway. I got them for $11.49 each. Hard to believe the price for trees taller than I am.
Prayers, Delphia. Hope that you have more quality time with Pepper. I know how you feel about an elderly pet.
Prayers for Gina. Hope that Kay is feeling much better tomorrow, and that Charlie get his problems attended to. Sometimes life is just not fair.
Prayers and good thoughts for everyone else who needs them.
Hoda I am very happy for you! Robyn - how be you? Incidentally I wrote on Gina's caring bridge guest book today. She is in God's hands and I have faith He will be right there for her.
Sure hope you have a pair of garden gloves for hunter - don't want those baseball hands blistered from shoveling holes for those trees. Shirley -- if you have space I would get some more at that price; however, remember about the leaves falling and raking them............ ♥
I have read back over most of the posts. Was hoping to hear that KAY was running down the hallways, but alas, I guess it's too soon. I guess she must have had a different surgery than JUDIE had...in and out of hospital in one day!
Thanks for the posts and phone calls about GG. Apparently I didn't mention her fall. She lost her footing and fell onto the tank of the commode. She won't go to the hospital, so I must trick her some way. She does feel better, but I would feel better to have her checked out. MTBR
Soup Kitchen tomorrow, so off to bed I go. Good night everyone...prayers. blessings and love for all♥
Watch some TV and read some tonight. Have been listening to thunder, but the rain, so far, is north of us. Laurel should be getting some.
LOL I had to read back and see what I said! I wrote like I was talking in a conversation with Hoda. Did not think about what it sounded like otherwise! Too funny!
Lynne, we have hundreds of leeetle little toads around here. As I water they hop everywhere. Leeetle toads are cute....do NOT like big ones. They hop!!!!!
Have FINALLY caught up on the blog, but it's late, and I'm really tired, so will get back here and post the Great American Novel in the morning! Have been MIA over the weekend--for some reason, was extremely sore all over, and could hardly move! Spent as much time as possible just resting, and am better today. I'm going to call it quits for tonight, though. Please know that I've said prayers for everyone, and for every creature. Will try to list some of them tomorrow. The porch light is on, and both security systems are enabled. Sleep well, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! ♥♥Lynn♥♥ ♥♥Carolyn, ♥♥Christie, ♥♥Charlie I ♥♥♥ us!
Good "last day of the school year for me" morning, Lori! Have been reading to try and catch up - getting close!
Does anyone know when Delphia expects to get her news? I've been thinking about her a lot.
Glad to hear the Kay update, though I wish she wasn't still nauseous and in a lot of pain.
WVDana, thanks for your description of what you saw at the nest yesterday! Wish I lived close enough to just stop by like that!
Got my yellow fever shot yesterday and my prescription for the malaria meds. So far, no adverse reaction to the shot. Big surprise - when I offered my insurance card, I was told they don't participate. Patients are expected to pay at the time of service! $300 EACH!!! Now, I get to submit to insurance and see how much I get reimbursed! Denny says he doesn't remember them telling him that when he made the appointments. Grrrrr!!!
YEP SANDI I agree with you I wish I lived there just to have the opportunity to drive by the nest anytime you want WVGALDANA is soooo lucky as so is a few others in the area and I did love her description the other day One juvie just flew in and the other is on the 9 can see wings every now and then and he flew out perfectly just now and big clunk on cam
So So sad was on the news A freezer failure, a alarm failure Two things failed at the same time the thementor looked to be reading the the correct temp of the freezer but inside the freezer was warm The AUTUSIM research center has lost I think they said about 500 brains that they had frozen Now this has set back the treatment for years so sad
YEP Still Have those two days off My NA days they can't schedule me at all Not Available Days So good to see you back where you belong here on the blog
I am sure I could find garden gloves for Hunter, Jp, but I wonder if he would reject my "lady gloves." Actually, Will might plant the trees today, though he said that it is supposed to rain all day.
I realized last night that I did not pick up any stakes, etc., to stabilize the tree, so I will need to go back to the store for that stuff.
Will has already commented that he would like mulch around the existing trees, so we need some of that also.
Posted pictures of the new trees and the fire in Colorado on FB. Will bring them over here for non-FBers.
Ah, Shirley. Hunter has the same concept of house cleaning as I had when I was a teen. No chores = no games! Enjoy the pin oaks. They are lovely trees and were inexpensive. Try human hair in your garden. Get some from the hair salon, put it in an old pantyhose leg, tie it to a tomato stake. Not fool proof but helps.
I got Delphia's dogs confused. Hope Granny Dog will improve. Thinking of Delphia also.
Wanda, tell GG no more Suddenly Salad until...
Sandi, have a wonderful last day of school.
Robyn, Know how you feel. Always at least one slacker. Happy school is over for you. CONGRATULATIONS! You have really accomplished so much.
Hi Andy. Hope you're feeling better. How's Miss Emma? What ever happened about the desert house?
Hoda, cleaning out a place in the back to put the dragon boat. lol
JudyE, the loss of potential sources of research is devastating. Very sad.
Uh oh, Lynne2 and Sharon are word enemies. Keep us posted on the war of the words, ladies.
Well, Lori, at first I planned to offer Hoda my bathtub but then I thought she might enjoy the view from the Potomac better. Just imagine seeing the monuments and the capitol while cruising in a dragon boat!
Hoda, that passport is good for D.C. and VA!
Two RTH babies have fledged to an adjacent building roof.
Well, Hoda could put that dragon boat in the Antietam creek here, but I'm not sure it would go very far :) Beautiful rainy day here! Hey Lori, did you have any luck with your sweet peas? Mine are blooming pretty good now.
Good morning everyone. Beautiful weather here once again. Nest watching is very slow or almost absent for me these days. Busy fun stuff live happening and a wonderful family visit just around the corner. My daughter is actually carrying on conversations on the phone and on her facebook now so she is indeed feeling better and stronger each day. That is so good since her plane trip is only a little over a week away now. Prayers for all in need. I have written down Kays address for rehab and hoping I see in my speed read of the blog a comment or 2 alerting me to the fact that she is there. Prayers continue for all in need humans and critters too. HAGD
Morning everyone, As always, continued prayers for those in need. Awaiting positive news on all.
Gosh, temps here dropped almost 30° over night - 80's to 50's - feels refreshing :o)
So excited for HODA and her upcoming trip. Hope her maid gets the time off too.
Excitment here -- bank robbery yesterday afternoon. Third small town bank in area robbed recently. Don't know why they can't get the guy. Really good security camera shots. No disguise, same shirt & BB hat in each robbery.
Durn cat started my day off with a mouse offering. I HATE mice - dead or alive. ;o(
Wishing everyone a day as great as can be. Summery hugs to everyone.
We had a couple of nice pin oaks in our yard in Ohio. When we bought the house, the guys who planted our grass noticed a small pin oak in the fencerow. They said they would move it into our yard for a small fee, and we accepted the offer happily.
They worked very hard and decided that they couldn't do the other tree they had spotted, but the one they moved and another one already in the yard grew nicely and gave us lovely shade.
CarolAnne, I am having a problem with rats at my bird feeder. The cat just walked right by it yesterday. They have dug a hole in the ground I guess from under my deck and come up through the ground. I put poison down in the hole the other day but it scares me because I don't want to poison everything.
GOOD MORNING... It is raining here in Nestville and only 68°. We really, really need the rain, but I'm hoping it doesn't keep our dinner guests away from the Soup Kitchen. We are having Lasagna, but if we have 85 people like the last time, that's going to be a lot of Lasagna...I'm going to make sure we have a Back-Up just in case we run out. MARGY brought some very nice clothing for the Closet and will make a lot of people happy...they are LARGE sizes and we have a lot of LARGE size people, but not usually large clothing!
EE Shar - if you can find citronella in a bottle, pour that down the hole and around the base of the feeder. Smells good & we've found it even discourages the possoms.
Good morning folks...update on Granny Dog: This morning she was still weak, slow and wobbly and I carried her from their room to the back door. She was able to walk around by herself out there to do her business and then lay in the sun on a pillow. She ate a whole slice of Boar's Head roast turkey (at this point, I'll give her anything she wants!!) and had her Pedialyte and a syringe of water.
I still have not heard back on my tests or hers. I have an EEG this morning, they're checking for Complex Partial Seizures and dysfunction due to past head injuries (I've had at least five concussions, one major). The test takes 90 minutes! Blech. At least it's not invasive. Not sure when I'll get the results of that back.
My disability appeal is in the hands of the final review board now, so I'm also waiting on their decision. So much waiting....
Hope everyone has a great day, positive thoughts to all who need them, and I thank you all for yours!
Delphia, prayers coming your way and love for Granny Dog.
C/A, now tell us something that REALLY works to get rid of moles. We have very sandy soil and lots of earth worms. The moles love us and they are tearing up my yard. Their tunnels push up the soil and sod. We walk on the tunnels and tramp them back down, Jack sets a fierce trap (that kills) but it is not working.
Soon, as it gets hotter and drier, the armadillos will be back. Groan...........
I need to say something to Jack about walking. Do not want to start back up, but we really need to get with it! When we were doing lots of yard work we gave it up, now we need to start back up. Probably will help my back.
Lolly - You might have already tried this: You can mix your own mole repellent by mixing 6oz of castor oil and 2 tbsp of Murphy’s Oil Soap or dish soap in one gallon of water to make a concentrate. Mix one ounce of concentrate per gallon of water and apply to the lawn. Make sure to reapply the homemade mole repellent after rain or watering.
I decided to do some reading quietly last night instead of posting to the blog because I was very troubled about your post last evening and felt it best to pray and sleep on it.
Your post was upsetting because it brought me right back to February and March when our Dear Lynn was very upset with you about similar behavior. You knew Lynn was upset with you and you knew others were as well.
We watched some of it play out on the Blog as you posted. Many of us watched as it played out on FaceBook. We did not know the details, nor do we need to know. We just knew it was there.
You backed out of the Blog for a while. Things settled down and we became a happy group once again. We could feel the tension subside.
When the list of attendees for our April gathering was published, your name appeared and I worried, not for me, but for Lynn, that this would upset her.
Lynn graciously put it aside for the sake of the group and because I believe she knew in her heart of hearts, this would be the last Shepherdstown Eaglet Momsters event she would be attending. She loved this group dearly. We were her lifeline. And for many of us, Lynn was ours! We were so thankful to have those final moments with Lynn.
We are all grieving in our own ways and I am sure I can say for most of us, if not all, that this Blog just has not been the same without Lynn. She kept up with all of us, our activities, our aches and pains, our joys, our sorrows, and everything in between.
So, please, , I ask you not to air your grievances on the Blog as you started to last night and as you have done in the past. We just don't want that type of behavior and attitude here. When this happened before, I honestly felt it was time for me to leave the Blog, as I do not like this kind of behavior. I won't stay if it continues.
I believe we were working through our grief, towards a happier Blog and you have decided to come back. You will never find a group where each and every person gets along without some differences. You may still have issues with some on this Blog. Resolving those issues with those individuals requires true repentance, forgiveness and time. Sometimes it takes a lot of time.
As JudyE said, all of us have posts that get overlooked at times. Sometimes we don't remember to mention each and every prayer request when we list them on our post, but in most cases it is NOT intentional.
Remember in Matthew 7, where Jesus asks us why do we worry about the spec in our brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in our own eye. We should all look within first. We all have our "logs."
It is not my place to judge as I do not know your grievances, but I would respectfully ask that you honor Lynn, if no one else, and not drive a wedge in our group.
Ahhh getting past our own feelings for the group and learning from those who have shown us so graciously how to do that. That is what keeps this Blog very much alive. It is made of humans. It will never be perfect BUT over all these years and there are indeed many many I have never found a group of folks anywhere like those who are here. They ALL of them are now a part of my family in a very real way. I honestly can not and do not keep up with all of them all the time I just can't and if I have ever hurt you personally because you think I have slighted you I have never done that intentionally to anyone on here. I have learned to never expect all of my posts to be read or responded to which is very fair as I can not read and respond to everyone else's either. I read when I can and I respond when i can and I always lift up the members of this blog and all the critters they represent in prayer. I do not read the specifics of all and if animal related I do skim over very very fast, thats me and I need you to accept that about me. I have been known to take a few breaks from blogging when the going gets tough at this nest or other places. Not being here does not mean I do not continue to care. Not all of you will even see or read this. Thats OK. God Bless you all and God Bless Liesl and I too miss Lynn very very much . She has left talon prints all over the place hasn't she :-)
Linda, thank you for your kind post. You are so gracious. That is the very reason I am not on the blog anymore very often. Just no time for drama in my peaceful little life. But I do stay caught up the goings on most of the time. I love you all and consider you my family. Again, thank you for putting into words what I have been thinking for a while now. Love and hugs!
I went to my loving Lynn's house. We held each other. I told her I thought she knew something she wasn't sharing with us and I wanted to be there for her. She said to me that she just couldn't go through it again. We cried together and loved together and held each other. Lynn is and always will be my dear dear dear friend. I miss her so much. Yes she did put it aside because we talked about it then and there. No she is not here to tell all of you what all we talked about. Some will believe it never even happened. Which is SAD.
I am sorry that you feel a need to leave the blog.
In the past when you was not here and someone hurt different people that are no longer here. Nothing was done about it and that person isn't here but gets other people to post things. So we lost some very good people. Even today those people we lost will say when I talk to them on the phone. No it wasn't that person actually that made me leave the blog or things that was said. It was just my time to find something else. God works in mysterious ways.
I ask for prayer that someone told me they were not a christian. I NEVER once said the persons name or that they were part of our group. So how did people find out who I was asking prayer for???????????????????????????
About me backing off the blog and you all becoming a happy group. I feel sorry that you all could attack me and it was ok. Your happiness was NOT through God. To say that me not being here relieve the tension. Was the work of Satan.
You ask me not to put my grievances on the blog yet you can write this on the blog when you could have sent an EMAIL....
The wedge you speak of was driven a long time back before you even came on the blog. So I am not the one driving that wedge. It is the person waiting for me to mess up and use that to drive the wedge deeper.
As far as the Bible there are many scriptures I could also quote. I am not going to use the Bible to do that. The Lord knows what each of us do and HE IS THE ONE IN CHARGE!!!! NOT ANY HUMAN....
Next time you want to do this after taking time away from the blog. You have my email address....PLEASE DO NOT USE THE BLOG TO AIR THIS TYPE OF ATTACK TOWARDS ME. I DON'T CARE HOW MANY AGREE WITH YOU.
GOD THE FATHER KNOWS MY HEART.
I LOVE LYNN AND ALWAYS WILL♥
I LOVE CAROLYN AND FAMILY AND CHRISTIE AND SHANNON♥♥♥♥♥♥
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.
I love how JudyE ends things a lot but I thing some feel they only have difficults and sickness in their lives". I wished our group could come to learn this honestly. I leave you with this "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
So, Andrew and Kelsey will be in St. Maarten tomorrow and can use their phones. I cannot wait to hear from them. I hope they are having a blast. I worry though. Not real fond of big boats. I was channel surfing the other night and decided to skip over Titanic. Don't need to be watching that while my boy is on one. LOL.
Now getting back to my reading the blog and catching up:
Glo I know you lady and you are wonderful. Not everyone can be here to say when a prayer request is ask for. Yes I will pray for so in so Dana but many were there and could have. You are in my heart Glo (((HUGS))).
Andy I love it when you say, "I've said prayers for everyone and every creature." You don't have to name everyone. It is just so special I know "ALL" are included. Of course, with you like me if someone is missed God can take care of that. God Bless You Lady You Are A Good Woman That Walks In The Light.
Sandi you are very welcome for the nest update. I wished a lot of you lived closer too. Isn't that something that they don't take insurance for those shots. I pray that the insurance will cover them for you and Dennis. So glad Sandi that today is last day of school :)
Terrible SAD news about the Autusim research center. Dear Lord setting them back treatment for years so so sad JudyE :(
Shirley I seen the fires on tv. Went to your blog left you a message. It just brings me to tears since I was out there and to see this. I feel so badly for those that have lost their homes.
Lori something tells me you need a (((((HUG))))
Glo I am so excited for you to get to see your family!!!
Judie I hope Grace and Audrey are doing fine.
CarolAnne they will finally catch him. We had one around here same way. I believe it was "months and months" but they did finally catch him. Seem like it should have been an easy catch but wasn't don't know why. Have a Good Day also CarolAnne :)
Lolly you have prayer for your back.
Delphia you have been in prayer for the results of the test to come back. Also about your disability. Now adding about the EEG. Granny dog has been on the list too. ((hugs))
Hope what Wanda said works-citronella.
If I missed anyone I am sorry.
If you care to pray I need to go have the nerve burnt in my cervical and in my spine. The insurance does not pay much and leaves me thousands to pay. Due to the deducibles I have to meet each year. I can't take any pain medication. So it is only God that gets me through each day. I PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME FOR HOW HE HAS HELPED ME. Sunday I could hardly close the car door and it was very painful just driving to drive 1 1/2miles to home.
They are having a special guess in Wednesday night. I would love to be in the house of the Lord to hear this man speak.
So if you care to pray for me and the pain. ok if you don't that is ok too....God knows our hearts. You don't even need to tell me you are praying for me. God Bless All Of You.
Oh the drama, woe is me :) You know, I get so tired of you playing the victim, dana, and as you can see, so do many others on here. I have tried to keep personal disagreements off this blog, as I asked you to do the day you showed up at my house uninvited, but you just couldn't do it. Many people on here know you were speaking of me when you posted your hateful rants comparing me to the very overused wolf in sheep's clothing and the truly bizarre dolphin out of water. Those were not prayers, but vicious rants posted in anger. You have repeatedly used your religious beliefs as a weapon towards me. You are a bully, and when you don't get your way you attack everyone and play the victim yourself. Grow up and act like an adult, your actions have consequences and you must accept them. If you are going to speak about me on the blog, have the courage to use my name when you attack me or don't mention me at all. I have hesitated to write this, because it will just make you post more of your nonsense, but honestly, enough is enough, please stop it. My apologies to all rational people for posting this here.
I haven't had a chance to tell you all but I am sure Sharon has, Andrew's wedding was one of the best days of my life. That young man continues to make us proud. It was beautiful, elegant, and alot of fun!!! Wish we could have had all of you there with us.
I love Kritter Kaptures. Lynn saw on my fb page where I was going to try to kick it into full gear this year and wished me well. I have been so very very busy doing so much of what I love Kapturing Kritters with my camera :-). The veterinary practice I have used for 10 years has had a recent retiree and a new Vet has bought out his part of the practice. She has hired me to photograph both vets and all of the staff with their pets to put on their lobby waiting room wall. When folks come in to the Animal Hospital they will see immediately that it is staffed by folks who also have and love their pets interacting with those special Kritters. I have 6 photo shoots done and 2 to go. It has been a dream come true for me to be able to do this. I am hoping of course that in addition having my work displayed there will help to build my own local business. Economically I know getting photos of your pets is not on the top of many folks lists now but some can and some will. I am off to photograph a couple of cats who actually live there at the clinic and show last weeks photos to one of the staff. She has a Great Dane Golden Lab mix about 14 months old. She herself might way 100 lbs and is about 5 feet tall. She handled the dog so well and the pictures are great. His head is almost twice the size of hers. I can hardly wait to see it on the wall. Of course she may choose to share a different one. ALl photos on the wall will be 16 by 20. Nice big great photos of special folks in the lives of many "Kritters" where I live.. I am off to have some fun.
To Megan no people did not know who I was talking about until you let them know..
Sharon and Sissy yes you both have been waiting awhile for this. The only thing I can say to all of you that feel the way you do towards me and Megan I am an adult but yes a child of God's. I had only ask for prayer for someone that told me "they were not a Christian". A person that is in our group just thought I had mean't someone that wasn't a Christian and they started praying for them. Megan as you say ranting nothing would have been said if you all had not attack me on the blog. NO ONE KNEW WHO I WAS ASKING THAT PRAYER FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIV Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive man when they sin again you, you heavenly Father will also forgive you. v15But if you do not forgive men their sins, you Father will not forgive your sins.
I am sadden by all this "stuff". When I stumbled upon this blog & lurked, I was amazed at the cohesiveness of such a varied group. But alas I had forgotten it is made up of just people with emotions, as the eagles are just eagles, which we project our emotions on.
I understood the 'no politics' and occasionally wished for "no religion" as to me that can be as dividing as politics. I believe in prayer, and offer it freely, but I do not want or need to be told who to pray for. That is not living your religion, telling people how they "must" do it.
With heavy heart I wish for the occupants of this blog to talk openly & freely about eagles and everyday life, without the gushing & self promoting.
Oh Glo that sounds so wonderful. I am so very happy for you to be enjoying this part of your photography. Hope to get to see more "Kritter Kaptures". I just love them. :)

Delphia - Prayers for Pepper. This is NOT good timing, so I pray God has more time here for him in your life. Our pets are such a comfort to us, arent they? Praying for you, too.
Hoping KAY had a good night last night and feels MUCH better today! Will call her later this afternoon and check in.
Delphia, so very sorry about Pepper not doing well. My heart is with you.
Checking in between meetings at school. Delphia, I am so sorry to hear about Pepper not doing well. You certainly need distractions right now, but not this kind!! I am sending prayers and positive energy your way, for you and for Pepper!
Hoping to hear that Kay is feeling a little better today.
Charlie's gallbladder surgery is today? Missed that over the weekend - did read that he was back in the hospital.
Boy, Judy you almost have a full head dress! Nest is MT now. Jenny is here this morning so I will pop in and out...
Delphia, Prayers for Pepper at the Vet this morning!
Too hot to set my feet outside - 2 days in a row for this heat.
Anxious to hear some reports on friends.
Good Morning Eagle Pals....

Thanks Steve for the New Thread...You Rock ☺
Yes, Jo, it is Plenty HOW once again...

for Bird Girl (now busy with many things this morning...)
I am so sorry to read about your beloved Pepper...I hope she will be comfortable and that if she has to cross over the Rainbow Bridge soon...that it will be peaceful and pain-free...
(( Hugs to you and Pepper ♥♥ ))
I am not really sure if today WILL be surgery day for Charlie...as I recall there was still some question as to whether yes or no today...
maybe there is more updates on another source ?? like FB ??
I did sent Carolyn a couple of text messages last evening that she would get at midnight after work...BUT...did they go through?
She usually answers at one minute past midnight...
will NOT ring her up yet...she might still be sleeping...
(( Hugs and Prayers for Charlie and Carolyn, Jess and Jenn ))
I'm also wondering why I was surprised to see that GG had taken a fall...darn it...I am out of the circuit on these things..
I hope today and every day hereafter is much better with super healing....
Oh, I started my computer morning with a blast of Beauty and Joy...
I checked out Sharon's pictures...
In a word: WOW !!
Judie:
Kestrel babies all bye-bye this morning
it's been fun watching them....
Shirley
Good Luck finding that bathing suit!
I was so wanting to go to Swinging Bridge and dip in the creek Sunday but there was just NO time for it...
And I wish Hunter and all of you the very best of the Summer !
Well...I am forgetting something but I do see that Lynne2 says rain is coming Tuesday and Wednesday...so I'll save my 18 gallons of flower water for laundry instead
Loretta...I "read you" on your tomatoes...I have one the same size, just one only....and a few flowers on the other two. Am trying green peppers this year but they look scraggly...
And SOMETHING is nibbling on leaves on all plants..think it is rabbit !!
Good morning! Have not read the old thread, but see on here GG has had a fall. Not good!
I have my baked Butternut Squash in the oven. Now to go get me ready for the luncheon.
Have a great day! I'll be back this afternoon to catch up!
Have a great day!
Ok
Eagle Pals...my list of things to do is not long, but hollering at me
I'd have liked to see that butterfly T-Bird was talking about!
Best Wishes for a Good Day
I'll be checking back in once in awhile...
xoxo (( All Day Hugs ))
Good morning again everyone. I am starting my work day now. Hard to get back into the swing of things. Thanks everybody for all your comments on the wedding pics. It was a glorious day indeed. Now I just have to wait until Wednesday to hear from them. I do not like that, Sam I am.
Delphia, absolutely I will be praying for Pepper. Hugs to you both!
OH
there is a Juvenile in the nest...
Hi Sharon, Wednesday will be here before you know it !!
Oh
there are TWO juveniles in the nest
☺☺
picking at bones and skeletons
maybe they think food is on the way
Speaking of food, I am whiffing Lolly's Butternut Squash Delight across the cyber-miles
Touching story about Laurel and Joey, practicing the dance before the wedding, such a nice post, Lolly
xo back to work at home for me.
Have to head out for some chores...
seeing one eagle on a breezy nest
Thinking of and Praying for Carolyn and all Family with all my heart
and including those same things for GG, Delphia, Kay, Becky...and so much more...
God Bless Us, Every One xo
Good afternoon to all...now that I'm all caught up.
Hoping Kathryn takes her time.
Am very happy for her and it is
good to hear she is keeping her
options open for awhile :)
Glo sounds like Becky is doing very well.
Jewels sorry you did not get to that girls party. You do sound better though with Charlie sitting up in chair. Continue prayers for the both of you and the girls. Happy that you have a guest that feels like you are her mother :)
JudyE thank you so much for that eagle feather.
That makes my first one with you giving it to me. Now just don't call DNR on me lol
Thanks for that video JudyE
wonder if that is the youngest an eaglet has fledged (8 weeks)?
Oh Linda I am in tears of Kay's being able to sit in a chair to eat her meals. God Is Good!!
I will continue my prayers she get the rehab she wants and prayers while she recoverys in rehab.
Margy I just love what your "James the Wise" say's at times.
That was a good one :)
Hunter Happy Vacation from School. Hope you enjoy your time out and find good things to get into.
Oh Delphia such a hard thing to do for your sweet Granny Dog. She has been by your side for a long time. It is good that you are ready
to do what is right for Pepper. Prayers for you for the results of test and prayers for you
and Pepper. (((hugs)))
Adding GG to prayer list since I read she fell. Don't know whole story pray she is ok.
Continue prayers for Melvin (my 1st ex husband) and his wife. Sad he now has to stay out of the sun the rest of his life. He never did have any children.
b>Shep (almost called him Spot) just made food drop with only 1 eaglet in nest.By the time the fish was gone I had to take a phone call & I missed whatever happened!
Jenny has left - was a joy having her here this morning. The breezes are making it bearable outside.
Hoping to make contact tomorrow with Melissa and her Hedgesville crew! ♥
Taking a break - forgot to eat my lunch!
This was a poem read by Linda Wiseman, Kelsey's aunt, at the wedding titled "The One".
When the one whose hand you're holding
Is the one one who holds your heart
When the one whose eyes you gaze into
Gives your hopes and dreams their start,
When the one you think of first and last
Is the one who holds you tight,
And the things you plan together
Make the whole world seem just right,
When the one whom you believe in
puts their faith and trust in you,
You've found the one and only love
You'll share your whole life through.
Their vows to each other:
I promise to give you the best of myself
and to ask of you no more than you can give.
I promise to respect you as your own person
and to realize that your interests, desires and needs
are no less important than my own.
I promise to share with you my time and my
attention and to bring joy, strength and imagination
to our relationship.
I promise to keep myself open to you,
to let you see through the window of my world
into my innermost fears and feelings,
secrets and dreams.
I promise to grow along with you,
to be willing to face changes in order to keep our
relationship alive and exciting.
I promise to love you in good times and bad,
with all I have to give and all I feel inside
in the only way I know how,
completely and forever.
In this avatar is where the eaglets where when I arrived. On the far left branch up high where there are no leaves is where Bro was. To the far right where the eagle is sitting on the branch is where Missy was sitting when I arrived. They were comical. Missy would preen. Bro did not let her out do him...he would preen. Then Missy would spread her wings....Bro then spread his as if your not going to out do me up here. lol
It was something to see even without the glasses you could tell Missy (so large) compared to Bro (so small). How they were sitting was almost like straight across from each other. I did try call a couple of people to relay the inforation. Loretta thank Frank for me.
I knew I had to give myself enough time to get back to church by 7pm.
As I was thinking of the show their parents put on for us. About that time Bro flew off the branch first. Soaring around the high up part of the tree. Then further out into the sky while Missy sat on her branch. It was a beautiful sight to watch.
I guess Missy decided your not going to out do me. Off of her branch she flew. She did not circle the nest. Since Bro was soaring high. Missy decided to start soaring...oh so beautiful to see. Then she went higher and higher until the two were soaring together. Brother and Sister enjoying the skies together. Something I will remember for a long long time. Then Bro flew down into the nest and Missy to her spot on her branch up high.
I had to leave but I had a wonderful time. On the way out heading towards Shepherdstown. A beautiful doe jumped out further in the road not so close to my car. What a beauty. God has such a beautiful plan. When he created ♥
Sharon that is beautiful! I bet it brought tears to eyes! ♥
BBL
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
GOOD MORNING, All.
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Hello Jim :) Nice to see you dropping in.
Goodmorning/ good afternoon all.
SHAR so very beautiful the poem and the vows.I had emotions reading both. God Bless them both as they start their life together.
GG fell!!! WANDA do say more about how she is and how you are with this whole experience. I am sorry to hear it and I wish you both well.
DELPHIA yes lots of love and Light come your way and for your precious friend too...keep us posted. I love his photo on Facebook.
LINDA and JO keep the news on KAY coming as you hear anything and send her my love please.
Hello again everyone.
T-BIRD hi...it is windy at the nest and one juvie is eating a meal delivered by Shep. What is happening at your part of the world?
Both juvies in the nest and a quarter left over fish at one next to railing. They are both full and now one is eating. one is plotzed and the other is standing at five.
Hoda - Lori is going to call Kay this afternoon a little later. It will surely brighten Kay's day to hear from Lori ♥
Lori will report to the us here how Kay is doing and where she will go next after she speaks with Kay.
Thanks LINDA...I will await LORI'S report on KAY...I send her much love and Light...
Checking in from work...
WOW, I must have missed a post regarding GG having a fall....hope she is OK????
OK I have a date with the maid...the vacuum and I have to be reacquinted and the bathroom needs a scrub...
See you all after I finish my chores, I first had to remind myslef how much money I am saving because I do not have an actual maid!!!I am it, and at least it is done to my satisfaction when it is done...LOL!!!
LYNNE it was the most understated post by WANDA she simply included it with her goodnight post last night...did not say much else...
I hope you are having a good day at work...this is Hoda's maid typing so I had better get o n with the work so Hoda can come back to the blog...bye all!!!
LOL!!!
Just woke from nap.
Hoping all understood my description of where the eaglets was sitting on the high branches at the nest tree.
Hoda...I have a maid. His name is Jack! (he does not do bathrooms, mop, dust or do windows!) I also have a yardperson, Lolly, and a cook Lolly. Funny same name!
Lunch was good and fun to see friends...fellow teachers. I am not real active in this group as we travel and are gone too much. I pay my local and and state dues and attend when I can. Sad to hear those who are sick. Guess this goes along with getting older.
I called Wanda she said GG just fell against the toilet. I said no bruises or breaks. Wanda said no.
It is HOT today, up to 94. Think I am in for the rest of the day. Came home and went out and dis spot watering.
Sharon, listened to the toast at the wedding but could not understand what was being said. Glad there was a funny in there, though!
Oh, windy at the nest and see one eaglet at home. Looks like it is chowing down.
Lolly,
Tom said:
Thank you Andrew for coming along during a rough part of my life and filling up the gap. Now she came along and he filled up her . . . . heart! (LAUGHS)
This is not at all what he intended to say but it was so funny.
From Delphia after trip to vet
GRANNY DOG UPDATE: We are waiting on bloodwork to see how her kidneys and liver are doing, as well as checking for other things such as infection and Valley Fever. Some results should be back this afternoon, others in a few days. Pepper did eat about two tablespoons of no-sodium roast beef, and Mom and I made a quick batch of food for her that we hope she will eat (hamburger, roast beef, brown rice, green beans and scrambled eggs). Vet said she isn't terribly dehydrated, not in desperate need for fluids just yet; I'm to keep up with the Pedialyte and water by syringe. Ok to post this on the Momster blog!
Thanks, Sharon! I did love the laughter....that is what weddings are all about!
BBL
Hello!
I got up from my nap and found this in my email from Kay's daughter, Julie:
KAY UPDATE
Hi Lori, I got your message. My mom has improved--she is moving around much better than before and seems to be gaining strength. I think she will be in the hospital a day or two longer because she has been nauseous again and isn't eating. I will let you know when she leaves there and goes to rehab! Thanks for your concern! Julie
Thanks, Lori for the update on Kay.
Sorry she has been nauseous again, but glad they will keep her until she is really ready to go to rehab. It seems as if they are always getting them out as soon as possible, and sometimes too soon!
Praying the nausea goes away soon!
Belle, Shep and one babe in the nest. Shep brought in a fish. Shep just took off.
Three in the nest!!
OK trying to LEAVE work now....long day. Longer day tomorrow, doing 12 hours tomorrow!
LOLLY!!! Very Funny, you have a pretty handy chap in this MR. JACK CHAP and he does look like Che Guevera and sometimes like Omar Sheriff...
The made is doing a very good job and she is almost finished, just some dusting to do and rearranging of furniture to the right spots.
Cooking comes next...
That will be a long day LYNNE...I hope you have a terrific evening before you face 12 hour shift...
see ya on the flip side!
I'm lovin' Sharon's avatar!!
Day off~~~~so, dental appt! I'm starving, but he gave me a shot for 2 fillings? (I hate shots!!) and everything is not staying in my mouth unless I hold my lip shut!!
Prayers for Delphia and her Pepper.
Hope Becky is still progressing well and Kay gets much better!!!♥♥♥
Thanks LORI for KAY update...glad she is in hospital longer to fix the nausea issue and also glad she is getting up...THANKS AND HUGS LORI you are the BEST.
Oh man Loretta, that sounds like no fun...maybe you can eat like a real person later on...
Lolly & Hoda - My Maid is pretty darn good, too!!
He vacuums, mops, occasionally does the toilets, COOKS (more in the winder than the summer), always cleans up after dinner unless I shoo him out of the kitchen. He DOES do windows.
He doesn't dust, rarely cleans the stove, rarely does laundry!!
He is also my gardener and yard man! He cuts, splits, and stacks the wood so we stay warm in the winter!!
I do have to sneak behind him and do the really detailed thorough cleaning, but I think I have it "made," if you know what I mean!!!
Appreciating all the updates on Kay, Delphia's dog Pepper, GG
Carolyn is at work, Charlie was released to go home today
I don't know much more than that but he must have gotten the Go Home Sign and that is good....hoping he feels better
Sharon
I read the prayer and the vows posts, and then Tom's toast...
all of them, wonderful
Thanks for Sharin', Sharon !
My maid took a nap and now she wants to kick ... you know what
see you all a little later on xoxo
Kick it, MARGY!
Wish I had a maid. Need to get a cleaning lady again, but I hate to be here when they clean!
Both eaglets in the nest now and it's gettin windy as the stormy weather brings in the clouds.
It's supposed to rain tonight and heavy rain at times with thunderstorms expected tomorrow. Wet babies!
HODA, how many sleeps? :)
LORETTA, hope your mouth un-numbs soon. Hate when that happens!
DELPHIA, just waiting for Pepper's results. Pray all is okay. That sounds like great dog/human food that you made!
Kick it!!! LOL
I am going to find my COOK!!
BBL
Lori - I'm sure you are not long for this world, so I will wish you peaceful sleep and sweet dreams ♥
I keep losing the cam live feed...it starts back up again but it is five times now I have lost it...twirly loop and then off...anyone else?
LORI 16 more sleeps
Margy that just doesn't sound right that they let Charlie go home. Maybe he needs to see a doctor in Winchester!!!!!!!!
Before something terrible happens that can't be reverse.
I thank the few that said they would pray for my ex husband and his wife.
I can't understand most of you that would not say to me "Yes I will pray for you ex and his wife".
Dear God what grudges some of you must hold. That is truly SAD
I see an eaglet plotzed in the nest!
Hi - finished our evening meal and I do think the rains are close by - Might not
set my plants out this time - the last storm flattened them and it seem to take forever for them to perk up.
Lori - thanks for Kay's update. The nausea can and probably is being caused by the drugs - similar to the one drug I just recently had - I'm sure Julie will let us know when Kay gets to go to rehab.
I love my maids as much as daughters!
They are very good to give mom & dad a
day out of their week. ♥♥
Thanks Dana for GG's update! She is holding true to the image of being a
Tough ole' Gal! Love you GG
and MISS YOU WANDA!
...as to the maid issue, this is when getting married and having kids would have been a good idea!!!
I love your stories as to how your husbands and children help with the house work...
Headed off to yoga...
BBL
Hoda, ever since Michael was a baby, he has done the dishes every night. I put away food and wipe the counters and stove. He did this so I could get outside quickly with him and Michael.
After the kids were gone, he started cooking as he got home before me. When my back got bad he took over the vacuuming. Now, we both do laundry and I think he does it more often than me! BUT, I work in the yard with him. We have worked out a great balance, we are a team and we LOVE to cook together. Yes, our marriage is a very good thing!!
You are blessed, LOLLY to have such a wonderful partnership and marriage.
Goodnight ALL - I'm off to saw logs.
I love you ALL! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Lori, thank you for the update on Kay. I'm sure the nausea is drug-induced and she'll improve quickly as the meds are decreased. Her body has had quite a shock.
Hoda, when your maid has finished at your place, please send her along to me. I would enjoy having her around. She can even bring her dragon boat.
Thought I had missed a more detailed comment about GG. So glad it wasn't serious. Wanda, please let GG know I'm asking for her and give her a hug from me.
Surprised Charlie was released from the hospital today. Sure hope he is able to get the needed surgery before too much longer.
Delphia, sure hoping that Pepper's lab reports come back with optimistic results.
Margy, I will also miss the Kestrel babes. All six fledged and successfully, I hope.
Hi Jo and all others I've missed.

WVGALDANA I don't think anyone meant that they won't pray for your X sometime you know how the blog gets our minds is full of our daily activities and work and home life and sometime just can't comment of each item on the blog Each and everyone on this blog is in my heart and thoughts daily without having to say so on the blog I think I speak for everyone here no harm was intended
It is so good to see LORI back on the blog Now we need DANAMO APB for Danamo MIA LOL I know she is busy painting at school I saw on FB
Delphia is waiting on a report of
blood work on Granny Dog. Pepper checked out ok but Delphia needs to keep her on Pedialyte and water by syringe. I think we were getting the dogs mixed up. I pray both of them perk up and stay around much much longer

Really confusing Charlie being released I thought he had a GB issue DR now days
Ok I made it all caught up now to go watch the news I DVRd and a shower its a 8-5 day tomorrow

link drone crashes
crashed today around noon near Bloodsworth Island acroos the Chesapeake By from the Patuxent River Naval Air Station
I'm sure Carolyn will bring us up to date when she has time...very busy woman, all the time...
family, home, work, grieving...
Perhaps Charlie just needs to get "weller"
..before he can have the surgery...
Let's keep our Faith in our Prayers....and the Medical Team...
I'm so darn busy and going in many different directions these days can hardly even think straight, and I am a single person, and without many of the close-by family obligations that many not only have, but the company they also enjoy so dearly...I miss that, my family is all over the place...
Often we have to just gather up all our prayers and concerns for each other with a few single phrases such as Prayers for all,
Hugs For All, and Love for All...
if there is not the time to mention each and every one....personally I am not going to stress over it...I might be sorry I cannot do that, but to stress over it takes me away from my energy to say and think those prayers and thoughts...
I'm signing off for the night,
I'll probably "see you" tomorrow, but it's workday, there is meeting, and a court appearance...
Prayers for Wellness Amongst us, Our Family, Friends and Pets...
God Bless Us, Every One xoxo
♥
JudyE, sounds like your ex got some of that KARMA floating around...tee hee
The Eaglet poofed...might be on the cam...heard some clunks, turned around and eaglet was gone!
Margy have been kept in prayer. I know you have a lot on you. God Bless You for being such the fine woman I have always known you to be. (((hugs to you))) xxxoooo
Wish there was some way I could help take the load off you.
Well looks like we who like it-lost CSI Miami. dang I like that program.
Bless you Margy for what you said. Honey you would be the one to feel badly that you didn't mention each prayer when ask. Darling God knows who all I am speaking of so please don't put yourself there.
Sadly others don't feel the way you do Honey. You are a wonderful and dear person. May God Bless You♥
Saw a wing from the 9 perch a few minutes ago.
Oh, did I mention the Osprey nest at the beach has 3 chicks! My neighbor Sue Ellen and I went up on her upstairs bedroom deck and put the scope on them. Got to see Mom feeding all 3, they all look great!
Awww Paula I bet that was really neat to see !!! :)
Lolly, you trained Michael to do dishes? Good on you!!!
WVDana, we might not mention every name in our closing comments, but when you see "Prayers for all", etc.,that includes Melvin and many others. ☺ ♥
Paula, how cool about the ospreys. I hope they got that UStream camk going at Park!
Got most stuff ready for work in AM. Now there is some gum, etc. soreness now that the novacaine wore off! BOO
If I konk out, Pleasant Feather Dreams and Prayers for Good Health ;>)
well, I just had a hilarious thing happen. I was out weeding a flower bed on the PatiOasis. The side I was working on is an old railroad tie, with a hole in it, and I was sitting on the ground, leaning over the hole, when out pops a toad!! Scared the heck outa me! I was cracking up... And while I was still laughing about that, ANOTHER one popped out! So funny!
Hi everyone
I am so bad about blogging these days and only 10 days left of school.
I need your power of prayer for Gina Kosla the little girl who had the transplant last year.
Seems her campath treatment may not have worked and they are thinking about bringing her back for a re-transplant eval in a few weeks after they see her bronch.
We really need some prayers for Gina to help her get thru this, I can only imagine how we would be feeling if this was Tori and I thank God everyday sometimes more that so far she is doing fantastic.
I hope everyone is well, I am only on FB these days due to school, and the ability to start living our lives outside the home. Smart phones help us stay in contact while out...
BTW...any Dallas (the TV show) fans? Wed at 9pm, the new Dallas mini series starts on TNT!!
Good night to everyone.
Restful sleep.
Oh, that's on TNT, thanks Lynne! I have found a bunch of baby toad in my yard these past couple of weeks. They are no bigger than your thumbnail!
Glad you could pop on, Robyn. Will you be done with school, or do you have more classes, I can't remember.
Paula,
This is my last class, and though it is easy at times it is a combination of every class I had regarding my masters program and I am in a group project. I am taking 6 months to a year off, will seek employment in the fall and may go back for my MBA in Human Resource.
Thank you Loretta I know you say that and I appreciate that.
Sometimes I get too busy and have to say something like that.
Lynne2 I am laughing withyou about the toads.
The group project idea is great Robyn!
FOX
It isn't that great Paula, it is all online and can be very difficult when one of the girls refuses to meet more then once a week.
FYI Taco Bells cinnamon twist are good the nest day I bought some last night when I got my salad and forgot about them till I just found on counter MMMMM still good not stale
Robyn, I mean the subject! I hate it when you have a slacker in a group project though!
Lynne, I no longer think you are my friend. I am now playing words with enemies.
ROFLMBO Sharon!! Don't worry, the winning streak can't last....
I do have to get to bed...12 hour shift tomorrow. What the heck was I thinking?? Can't play from work, it hangs up my computer for some reason... may not be back til Wed.
Good evening all. I am very guilty of reading the blog but not posting, telling myself I will comment the 'next time'.
I am thinking of you all and you are, of course in my prayers.
Well I'm calling it a day
See ya in the am ☼ at Sycamore Sunrise Cyber Cafe
Bless this Nest

JUDIE...have maid will travel with her Dragon Boat and all...
LOLLY BLESSED BE for you and for your JACK...
I wrote MEMA JO an email because my heart was so full and I want to bring part of this email here:
"I am very honoured and humbled to have one of the plaques that DEAR PRECIOUS LYNN♥ brought to our group.
Christie wrote a beautiful note to go with it.
I have tears. I will cherish it always.
Friendship is not measured by the length of time a person knows another. I did not know LYNN for very long but she has certainly made a lasting impression on my life and I am forever grateful for this friendship.
so
I came for the eagles and stayed for the friendships I made.
Thank you LYNN♥ for your friendship.
Thank you JO♥ for your friendship.
In the Light,
Hoda
BLESSED BE LYNN AND HER DAUGHTERS
Good evening,
Trying to keep up, but not always doing very well with it.
Hunter and I put a fence and a lot of netting around my garden today. I had one tomato getting ripe and something beat me to it. Shucks!! Noticed a bite taken out of one of my green tomatoes, too. Double shucks!!
And something has knocked down several corn plants. George? Oh my, I do not want to think about that.
Maids?
Well, Kathryn told Hunter to vacuum the family room as one of his tasks for today. It looks like he made one pass through the room and then he left the vacuum sitting there. But Mom did not say to put the vacuum away.
This Hunter-tasking thing might be more work for me than for Hunter.
Two lovely pin oak trees are sitting in my driveway. I got them for $11.49 each. Hard to believe the price for trees taller than I am.
Prayers, Delphia. Hope that you have more quality time with Pepper. I know how you feel about an elderly pet.
Prayers for Gina. Hope that Kay is feeling much better tomorrow, and that Charlie get his problems attended to. Sometimes life is just not fair.
Prayers and good thoughts for everyone else who needs them.
Time to say good night. Rest well, my friends.
Hoda I am very happy for you!
Robyn - how be you? Incidentally I wrote on Gina's caring bridge guest book today. She is in God's hands and I have faith He will be right there for her.
Sure hope you have a pair of garden gloves for hunter - don't want those
baseball hands blistered from shoveling holes for those trees.
Shirley -- if you have space I would get some more at that price; however, remember about the leaves falling and raking them............ ♥
I shall close for this evening
Good Night to all
Prayers for all of those in need..
Missing our Lynn ♥
I have read back over most of the posts. Was hoping to hear that KAY was running down the hallways, but alas, I guess it's too soon. I guess she must have had a different surgery than JUDIE had...in and out of hospital in one day!
Thanks for the posts and phone calls about GG. Apparently I didn't mention her fall. She lost her footing and fell onto the tank of the commode. She won't go to the hospital, so I must trick her some way. She does feel better, but I would feel better to have her checked out. MTBR
Soup Kitchen tomorrow, so off to bed I go. Good night everyone...prayers. blessings and love for all♥
Watch some TV and read some tonight. Have been listening to thunder, but the rain, so far, is north of us. Laurel should be getting some.
LOL I had to read back and see what I said! I wrote like I was talking in a conversation with Hoda. Did not think about what it sounded like otherwise! Too funny!
Lynne, we have hundreds of leeetle little toads around here. As I water they hop everywhere. Leeetle toads are cute....do NOT like big ones. They hop!!!!!
Heading to the shower and to bed.
Nite all! SED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodnight
PRAYERS♥
Good Evening, Everyone!
Have FINALLY caught up on the blog, but it's late, and I'm really tired, so will get back here and post the Great American Novel in the morning! Have been MIA over the weekend--for some reason, was extremely sore all over, and could hardly move! Spent as much time as possible just resting, and am better today. I'm going to call it quits for tonight, though. Please know that I've said prayers for everyone, and for every creature. Will try to list some of them tomorrow. The porch light is on, and both security systems are enabled. Sleep well, everyone. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you!
♥♥Lynn♥♥

Good morning, SANDI - I'm sure you'll be on soon!
Hello other fellow early birds, MARGY, JUDYE, DanaMO and THELMA!
Good "last day of the school year for me" morning, Lori! Have been reading to try and catch up - getting close!
Does anyone know when Delphia expects to get her news? I've been thinking about her a lot.
Glad to hear the Kay update, though I wish she wasn't still nauseous and in a lot of pain.
WVDana, thanks for your description of what you saw at the nest yesterday! Wish I lived close enough to just stop by like that!
Got my yellow fever shot yesterday and my prescription for the malaria meds. So far, no adverse reaction to the shot. Big surprise - when I offered my insurance card, I was told they don't participate. Patients are expected to pay at the time of service! $300 EACH!!! Now, I get to submit to insurance and see how much I get reimbursed! Denny says he doesn't remember them telling him that when he made the appointments. Grrrrr!!!
Well, Happy Last Day of School, SANDI!
G☺☺D M☼rning Eagle Buds and one of the juvie is on the 9er and just poops shot in front of the lens to the cam
YEP SANDI I agree with you I wish I lived there just to have the opportunity to drive by the nest anytime you want WVGALDANA is soooo lucky as so is a few others in the area and I did love her description the other day One juvie just flew in and the other is on the 9 can see wings every now and then and he flew out perfectly just now and big clunk on cam
78° NOW Yuk gonna be in the 90
Good morning, JudyE - you still have Thursday and Fridays off?
So So sad was on the news A freezer failure, a alarm failure Two things failed at the same time the thementor looked to be reading the the correct temp of the freezer but inside the freezer was warm The AUTUSIM research center has lost I think they said about 500 brains that they had frozen Now this has set back the treatment for years so sad
YEP Still Have those two days off My NA days they can't schedule me at all Not Available Days So good to see you back where you belong here on the blog
Today is a 8-5 day so I need to finsih getting dress See you at lunch HAGD
I'm trying to be here, Judy! Lurking a lot. Work is just sooo crazy anymore. What happened to the good old days? LOL
Good morning,
I am sure I could find garden gloves for Hunter, Jp, but I wonder if he would reject my "lady gloves." Actually, Will might plant the trees today, though he said that it is supposed to rain all day.
I realized last night that I did not pick up any stakes, etc., to stabilize the tree, so I will need to go back to the store for that stuff.
Will has already commented that he would like mulch around the existing trees, so we need some of that also.
Posted pictures of the new trees and the fire in Colorado on FB. Will bring them over here for non-FBers.
Good morning.
Ah, Shirley. Hunter has the same concept of house cleaning as I had when I was a teen. No chores = no games! Enjoy the pin oaks. They are lovely trees and were inexpensive. Try human hair in your garden. Get some from the hair salon, put it in an old pantyhose leg, tie it to a tomato stake. Not fool proof but helps.
I got Delphia's dogs confused. Hope Granny Dog will improve. Thinking of Delphia also.
Wanda, tell GG no more Suddenly Salad until...
Sandi, have a wonderful last day of school.
Robyn, Know how you feel. Always at least one slacker. Happy school is over for you. CONGRATULATIONS! You have really accomplished so much.
Hi Andy. Hope you're feeling better. How's Miss Emma? What ever happened about the desert house?
Hoda, cleaning out a place in the back to put the dragon boat. lol
JudyE, the loss of potential sources of research is devastating. Very sad.
Uh oh, Lynne2 and Sharon are word enemies. Keep us posted on the war of the words, ladies.
Hi Jo, Lori, Lolly, and Paula.
Oh good, Judie, the dragon boat will be closer, but where will HODA practice? :) Wouldn't that be great?!
Well, Lori, at first I planned to offer Hoda my bathtub but then I thought she might enjoy the view from the Potomac better. Just imagine seeing the monuments and the capitol while cruising in a dragon boat!
Hoda, that passport is good for D.C. and VA!
Two RTH babies have fledged to an adjacent building roof.
Well, Hoda could put that dragon boat in the Antietam creek here, but I'm not sure it would go very far :)
Beautiful rainy day here!
Hey Lori, did you have any luck with your sweet peas? Mine are blooming pretty good now.
Good morning everyone. Beautiful weather here once again. Nest watching is very slow or almost absent for me these days. Busy fun stuff live happening and a wonderful family visit just around the corner. My daughter is actually carrying on conversations on the phone and on her facebook now so she is indeed feeling better and stronger each day. That is so good since her plane trip is only a little over a week away now. Prayers for all in need. I have written down Kays address for rehab and hoping I see in my speed read of the blog a comment or 2 alerting me to the fact that she is there. Prayers continue for all in need humans and critters too. HAGD
Morning everyone,
As always, continued prayers for those in need. Awaiting positive news on all.
Gosh, temps here dropped almost 30° over night - 80's to 50's - feels refreshing :o)
So excited for HODA and her upcoming trip. Hope her maid gets the time off too.
Excitment here -- bank robbery yesterday afternoon. Third small town bank in area robbed recently. Don't know why they can't get the guy. Really good security camera shots. No disguise, same shirt & BB hat in each robbery.
Durn cat started my day off with a mouse offering. I HATE mice - dead or alive. ;o(
Wishing everyone a day as great as can be. Summery hugs to everyone.
Good morning! Storms and rain missed us last night. Went north of us. Dern! Maybe this evening!
So sad to see an empty nest, oh...and rain.
Think I will work in the yard a little today. Want to take it easy and not get my back going.
Think it funny that Lynne and Sharon are now Word Enemies! Words with Enemies...hmmmm??????
Sandi...when do you leave on your trip. Glad that so far no reaction to the shot.
We had a couple of nice pin oaks in our yard in Ohio. When we bought the house, the guys who planted our grass noticed a small pin oak in the fencerow. They said they would move it into our yard for a small fee, and we accepted the offer happily.
They worked very hard and decided that they couldn't do the other tree they had spotted, but the one they moved and another one already in the yard grew nicely and gave us lovely shade.
CarolAnne, I am having a problem with rats at my bird feeder. The cat just walked right by it yesterday. They have dug a hole in the ground I guess from under my deck and come up through the ground. I put poison down in the hole the other day but it scares me because I don't want to poison everything.
Oh, I hope they catch that bank robber, CA.
Good to see you this morning, Judie. How are Darth and the kitties?
Be kind to your back, Lolly, not too much yard work.
Yay, Sandi! Freedom is near.
GOOD MORNING...
It is raining here in Nestville and only 68°. We really, really need the rain, but I'm hoping it doesn't keep our dinner guests away from the Soup Kitchen. We are having Lasagna, but if we have 85 people like the last time, that's going to be a lot of Lasagna...I'm going to make sure we have a Back-Up just in case we run out.
MARGY brought some very nice clothing for the Closet and will make a lot of people happy...they are LARGE sizes and we have a lot of LARGE size people, but not usually large clothing!
Hope everyone has a great day♥
EE Shar - if you can find citronella in a bottle, pour that down the hole and around the base of the feeder. Smells good & we've found it even discourages the possoms.
Good morning folks...update on Granny Dog: This morning she was still weak, slow and wobbly and I carried her from their room to the back door. She was able to walk around by herself out there to do her business and then lay in the sun on a pillow. She ate a whole slice of Boar's Head roast turkey (at this point, I'll give her anything she wants!!) and had her Pedialyte and a syringe of water.
I still have not heard back on my tests or hers. I have an EEG this morning, they're checking for Complex Partial Seizures and dysfunction due to past head injuries (I've had at least five concussions, one major). The test takes 90 minutes! Blech. At least it's not invasive. Not sure when I'll get the results of that back.
My disability appeal is in the hands of the final review board now, so I'm also waiting on their decision. So much waiting....
Hope everyone has a great day, positive thoughts to all who need them, and I thank you all for yours!
Delphia, prayers coming your way and love for Granny Dog.
C/A, now tell us something that REALLY works to get rid of moles. We have very sandy soil and lots of earth worms. The moles love us and they are tearing up my yard. Their tunnels push up the soil and sod. We walk on the tunnels and tramp them back down, Jack sets a fierce trap (that kills) but it is not working.
Soon, as it gets hotter and drier, the armadillos will be back. Groan...........
Thinking of you, Delphia, and hoping for you to receive good news. Waiting is so hard.
I need to say something to Jack about walking. Do not want to start back up, but we really need to get with it! When we were doing lots of yard work we gave it up, now we need to start back up. Probably will help my back.
Lolly - You might have already tried this:
You can mix your own mole repellent by mixing 6oz of castor oil and 2 tbsp of Murphy’s Oil Soap or dish soap in one gallon of water to make a concentrate. Mix one ounce of concentrate per gallon of water and apply to the lawn. Make sure to reapply the homemade mole repellent after rain or watering.
Posted the Ft. Collins fire pic and the pin oak pic on my blog.
Raining here now.
Must go do some chores.
Oh Lolly - works best if industrial grade castor oil is used. Can get at farm supply stores I think.
Here's an interesting site:
Yard Pests
Well, the pin oak pic just does not want to post. I will try again later. Thought it was posted. Do not know where it went.
WVDana - This post is for you:
I decided to do some reading quietly last night instead of posting to the blog because I was very troubled about your post last evening and felt it best to pray and sleep on it.
Your post was upsetting because it brought me right back to February and March when our Dear Lynn was very upset with you about similar behavior. You knew Lynn was upset with you and you knew others were as well.
We watched some of it play out on the Blog as you posted. Many of us watched as it played out on FaceBook. We did not know the details, nor do we need to know. We just knew it was there.
You backed out of the Blog for a while. Things settled down and we became a happy group once again. We could feel the tension subside.
When the list of attendees for our April gathering was published, your name appeared and I worried, not for me, but for Lynn, that this would upset her.
Lynn graciously put it aside for the sake of the group and because I believe she knew in her heart of hearts, this would be the last Shepherdstown Eaglet Momsters event she would be attending. She loved this group dearly. We were her lifeline. And for many of us, Lynn was ours! We were so thankful to have those final moments with Lynn.
We are all grieving in our own ways and I am sure I can say for most of us, if not all, that this Blog just has not been the same without Lynn. She kept up with all of us, our activities, our aches and pains, our joys, our sorrows, and everything in between.
So, please, , I ask you not to air your grievances on the Blog as you started to last night and as you have done in the past. We just don't want that type of behavior and attitude here. When this happened before, I honestly felt it was time for me to leave the Blog, as I do not like this kind of behavior. I won't stay if it continues.
I believe we were working through our grief, towards a happier Blog and you have decided to come back. You will never find a group where each and every person gets along without some differences. You may still have issues with some on this Blog. Resolving those issues with those individuals requires true repentance, forgiveness and time. Sometimes it takes a lot of time.
As JudyE said, all of us have posts that get overlooked at times. Sometimes we don't remember to mention each and every prayer request when we list them on our post, but in most cases it is NOT intentional.
Remember in Matthew 7, where Jesus asks us why do we worry about the spec in our brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in our own eye. We should all look within first. We all have our "logs."
It is not my place to judge as I do not know your grievances, but I would respectfully ask that you honor Lynn, if no one else, and not drive a wedge in our group.
Thank you!
Amen, Linda.
Oh Linda, that is absolutely true! Thank you so much!
Ahhh getting past our own feelings for the group and learning from those who have shown us so graciously how to do that. That is what keeps this Blog very much alive. It is made of humans. It will never be perfect BUT over all these years and there are indeed many many I have never found a group of folks anywhere like those who are here. They ALL of them are now a part of my family in a very real way. I honestly can not and do not keep up with all of them all the time I just can't and if I have ever hurt you personally because you think I have slighted you I have never done that intentionally to anyone on here. I have learned to never expect all of my posts to be read or responded to which is very fair as I can not read and respond to everyone else's either. I read when I can and I respond when i can and I always lift up the members of this blog and all the critters they represent in prayer. I do not read the specifics of all and if animal related I do skim over very very fast, thats me and I need you to accept that about me. I have been known to take a few breaks from blogging when the going gets tough at this nest or other places. Not being here does not mean I do not continue to care. Not all of you will even see or read this. Thats OK. God Bless you all and God Bless Liesl and I too miss Lynn very very much . She has left talon prints all over the place hasn't she :-)
Linda, thank you for your kind post. You are so gracious. That is the very reason I am not on the blog anymore very often. Just no time for drama in my peaceful little life. But I do stay caught up the goings on most of the time. I love you all and consider you my family. Again, thank you for putting into words what I have been thinking for a while now. Love and hugs!
Well said, Glo.
If we were afraid to post a response or good wish because were afraid of offending someone we missed, we would never be able to say anything.
@Linda
I went to my loving Lynn's house. We held each other. I told her I thought she knew something she wasn't sharing with us and I wanted to be there for her. She said to me that she just couldn't go through it again. We cried together and loved together and held each other. Lynn is and always will be my dear dear dear friend. I miss her so much. Yes she did put it aside because we talked about it then and there. No she is not here to tell all of you what all we talked about. Some will believe it never even happened. Which is SAD.
I am sorry that you feel a need to leave the blog.
In the past when you was not here and someone hurt different people that are no longer here. Nothing was done about it and that person isn't here but gets other people to post things. So we lost some very good people. Even today those people we lost will say when I talk to them on the phone. No it wasn't that person actually that made me leave the blog or things that was said. It was just my time to find something else. God works in mysterious ways.
I ask for prayer that someone told me they were not a christian. I NEVER once said the persons name or that they were part of our group. So how did people find out who I was asking prayer for???????????????????????????
About me backing off the blog and you all becoming a happy group. I feel sorry that you all could attack me and it was ok. Your happiness was NOT through God. To say that me not being here relieve the tension. Was the work of Satan.
You ask me not to put my grievances on the blog yet you can write this on the blog when you could have sent an EMAIL....
The wedge you speak of was driven a long time back before you even came on the blog. So I am not the one driving that wedge. It is the person waiting for me to mess up and use that to drive the wedge deeper.
As far as the Bible there are many scriptures I could also quote. I am not going to use the Bible to do that. The Lord knows what each of us do and HE IS THE ONE IN CHARGE!!!! NOT ANY HUMAN....
Next time you want to do this after taking time away from the blog. You have my email address....PLEASE DO NOT USE THE BLOG TO AIR THIS TYPE OF ATTACK TOWARDS ME. I DON'T CARE HOW MANY AGREE WITH YOU.
GOD THE FATHER KNOWS MY HEART.
I LOVE LYNN AND ALWAYS WILL♥
I LOVE CAROLYN AND FAMILY AND CHRISTIE AND SHANNON♥♥♥♥♥♥
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.
I love how JudyE ends things a lot but I thing some feel they only have difficults and sickness in their lives". I wished our group could come to learn this honestly. I leave you with this
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
So, Andrew and Kelsey will be in St. Maarten tomorrow and can use their phones. I cannot wait to hear from them. I hope they are having a blast. I worry though. Not real fond of big boats. I was channel surfing the other night and decided to skip over Titanic. Don't need to be watching that while my boy is on one. LOL.
Oh, Sharon, how exciting for you.
Now getting back to my reading the blog and catching up:
Glo I know you lady and you are wonderful. Not everyone can be here to say when a prayer request is ask for. Yes I will pray for so in so Dana but many were there and could have. You are in my heart Glo (((HUGS))).
Andy I love it when you say, "I've said prayers for everyone and every creature." You don't have to
name everyone. It is just so special I know "ALL" are included. Of course, with you like
me if someone is missed God can take care of that. God Bless You Lady You Are A Good Woman
That Walks In The Light.
Sandi you are very welcome for the nest update. I wished a lot of you lived closer too. Isn't that
something that they don't take insurance for those shots. I pray that the insurance will cover them
for you and Dennis. So glad Sandi that today is last day of school :)
Terrible SAD news about the Autusim research center. Dear Lord setting them back treatment
for years so so sad JudyE :(
Shirley I seen the fires on tv. Went to your blog left you a message. It just brings me to tears since I was out there and to see this. I feel so badly
for those that have lost their homes.
Lori something tells me you need a (((((HUG))))
Glo I am so excited for you to get to see your family!!!
Judie I hope Grace and Audrey are doing fine.
CarolAnne they will finally catch him. We had one around here same way. I believe it was "months and months" but they did finally catch him. Seem like it should have been an easy catch but wasn't don't
know why.
Have a Good Day also CarolAnne :)
Lolly you have prayer for your back.
Delphia you have been in prayer for the results of the test to come back. Also about your
disability. Now adding about the EEG. Granny dog has been on the list too. ((hugs))
Hope what Wanda said works-citronella.
If I missed anyone I am sorry.
If you care to pray I need to go have the nerve burnt in my cervical and in my spine. The insurance does not pay much and leaves me thousands to pay. Due to the deducibles I have to meet each year. I can't take any pain medication. So it is only God that gets me through each day. I PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME FOR HOW HE HAS HELPED ME. Sunday I could hardly close the car door and it was very painful just driving to drive 1 1/2miles to home.
They are having a special guess in Wednesday night. I would love to be in the house of the Lord to hear this man speak.
So if you care to pray for me and the pain. ok if you don't that is ok too....God knows our hearts. You don't even need to tell me you are praying for me. God Bless All Of You.
Oh the drama, woe is me :)
You know, I get so tired of you playing the victim, dana, and as you can see, so do many others on here. I have tried to keep personal disagreements off this blog, as I asked you to do the day you showed up at my house uninvited, but you just couldn't do it.
Many people on here know you were speaking of me when you posted your hateful rants comparing me to the very overused wolf in sheep's clothing and the truly bizarre dolphin out of water. Those were not prayers, but vicious rants posted in anger. You have repeatedly used your religious beliefs as a weapon towards me. You are a bully, and when you don't get your way you attack everyone and play the victim yourself. Grow up and act like an adult, your actions have consequences and you must accept them. If you are going to speak about me on the blog, have the courage to use my name when you attack me or don't mention me at all. I have hesitated to write this, because it will just make you post more of your nonsense, but honestly, enough is enough, please stop it. My apologies to all rational people for posting this here.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - MEGAN!!!!
Love you Megan!!
I haven't had a chance to tell you all but I am sure Sharon has, Andrew's wedding was one of the best days of my life. That young man continues to make us proud. It was beautiful, elegant, and alot of fun!!! Wish we could have had all of you there with us.
So glad the wedding was so much fun and so beautiful, Sharon. Would like to have been there!!
I love Kritter Kaptures. Lynn saw on my fb page where I was going to try to kick it into full gear this year and wished me well. I have been so very very busy doing so much of what I love Kapturing Kritters with my camera :-). The veterinary practice I have used for 10 years has had a recent retiree and a new Vet has bought out his part of the practice. She has hired me to photograph both vets and all of the staff with their pets to put on their lobby waiting room wall. When folks come in to the Animal Hospital they will see immediately that it is staffed by folks who also have and love their pets interacting with those special Kritters. I have 6 photo shoots done and 2 to go. It has been a dream come true for me to be able to do this. I am hoping of course that in addition having my work displayed there will help to build my own local business. Economically I know getting photos of your pets is not on the top of many folks lists now but some can and some will. I am off to photograph a couple of cats who actually live there at the clinic and show last weeks photos to one of the staff. She has a Great Dane Golden Lab mix about 14 months old. She herself might way 100 lbs and is about 5 feet tall. She handled the dog so well and the pictures are great. His head is almost twice the size of hers. I can hardly wait to see it on the wall. Of course she may choose to share a different one. ALl photos on the wall will be 16 by 20. Nice big great photos of special folks in the lives of many "Kritters" where I live.. I am off to have some fun.
To Megan no people did not know who I was talking about until you let them know..
Sharon and Sissy yes you both have been waiting awhile for this. The only thing I can say to all of you that feel the way you do towards me and Megan I am an adult but yes a child of God's. I had only ask for prayer for someone that told me "they were not a Christian". A person that is in our group just thought I had mean't someone that wasn't a Christian and they started praying for them. Megan as you say ranting nothing would have been said if you all had not attack me on the blog. NO ONE KNEW WHO I WAS ASKING THAT PRAYER FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIV Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive man when they sin again you, you heavenly Father will also forgive you. v15But if you do not forgive men their sins, you Father will not forgive your sins.
I am sadden by all this "stuff".
When I stumbled upon this blog & lurked, I was amazed at the cohesiveness of such a varied group. But alas I had forgotten it is made up of just people with emotions, as the eagles are just eagles, which we project our emotions on.
I understood the 'no politics' and occasionally wished for "no religion" as to me that can be as dividing as politics. I believe in prayer, and offer it freely, but I do not want or need to be told who to pray for. That is not living your religion, telling people how they "must" do it.
With heavy heart I wish for the occupants of this blog to talk openly & freely about eagles and everyday life, without the gushing & self promoting.
Oh Glo that sounds so wonderful. I am so very happy for you to be enjoying this part of your photography. Hope to get to see more "Kritter Kaptures". I just love them. :)
CarolAnne, please don't leave us. This too shall pass!
Mercy, mercy, mercy. You guys have a wonderful day. Me and Mattie are heading to the park to walk a while. Love and hugs.
Glo, I got some Kritters you can Kapture! Come to Bluefield and I will show you!
Shar - not to worry. I am good at lurking and mubling under my breath LOL.
Yay, Gol!! That sounds like such a fun job.
