Good morning everyone. Haven't watched any weather yet so not sure where or how the storm Isaac is doing. I do hope all out there remain safe. No real plans here this weekend. All is well and well is indeed very good. HAGD everyone.
Good morning! Today I clean the trailer and boy is it a mess. Yes, little boys do track in!!!
We are keeping the trailer for a few days as Jack is going to be doing some work on it. We are looking forward to getting a new trailer next spring. Yea!
Chance of rain today and tomorrow. Really hoping we get it. We have had a great August but I still hate August!!! This next week it will be six years since my mother died. Like I said, I hate August!
As LOLLY said, this blog is sure slow, but it does make catching up easier. Since I've returned I haven't seen posts from LINDA, either of the DANA's or LYNNE2. What's up with them, anyone ?
This is a busy time of year with folks winding up summer, the start of school, etc.. So, I guess there is little cause for alarm.
Julie had to return to ER last night due to difficulty breathing. They did another thorough exam and say the embolisms are all gone. There is still a fluid build up on the lungs, but not enough to warrant drawing it off. She's to drink lots of water, rest and will see her Primary Doctor again on Monday. Thanks for your prayers !!!
My prayers are with you, your pets and families as per requests !
Prayers for JULIE and I hope ER settles the problem. Love you KAY.
LOLLY it is so exciting that now you start to think of your trip to CANADA...yay!!!
I had a terrific paddle this morning and oh my was it beautiful and breath taking...Went past the Osprey nest and no one was home but saw them flying about. Lots of geese and a family of ducks came to the beach.Went to coffee with the Dragon Ladies afterwards. We laughed a lot.
Ran an errand and ran into a woman I had volunteered with over a year ago...she was very upset...after 31 years married her husband left because he neve loved her and because he is tired of her health issues!!! She cried so we went for a cup of tea...she is 74 years old and had to assume a mortgage to buy him out from the house. He took the car and she is just stunned as to the changes happening in her life!!! Two months after he left her mother died and then he had a motorcycle accident!!! She is shaken. I am glad we stopped for tea so she could talk...life can deal the unexpected every once in a while. At 74 she does not want to lose her license but she can not afford to buy a car and so it is a dilema for her right now...I am very sad for her...she does not want to lose her driving skills...
I need to run errands and clean and see what there is to be done around here...it is the best way to deal with sadness.
JUDYE stay safe I understand Issacs is heading your way and it is strong to hurrican levels I just heard...Batten down the hatches gal!!! Keep checking in please so we would know you are well.
YAY!!! Edward and I will be able to SKYPE this week. He is in Greece and I have not spoken to him since June before I left to the USA. He is the youngest sibling in my American Family...I am happy.
Yes, what has happened to them? I hope both are just busy with work and we're low on the totem pole. I understand that. We need a leave a absence form! LOL
Wow - rain off and on all day, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, some with thunder and lightning. My plants and shrubs are happy but I would have much preferred to p0lay tennis and then hit the beach!
Hoda, Jo told me that she and Ed will head home some time tomorrow.
Lori, wish I had a dog that could enjoy one of your tugs! bandit is too old and grouchy and Bella has no teeth so she's at a real disadvantage when she plays tug-of-war!! =)
Kay, prayers for Julie that fluids and some more time are all she needs - how scary for her and for you!!
People keep commenting about how slow the blog is. Since this is my first summer on the blog, I have nothing to compare to. Are there fewer people posting than there normally are in the summer, or is this pretty typical?
Have gotten all the bathrooms cleaned and the grocery shopping done (in between storms). Time to feed dogs and people - later!!
It is so awesome JIM is keeping the candles burning on the EM candle site...a prayer for all of us who are in need. I stop there periodically and there are always two candles burning from JIM...BRAVO WAY TO GO JIM
HODA and all JO posted yesterday at 1017 this --Mema Jo has left a new comment on the post "Tuesday":
Good evening my friends - I haven't read back yet - I have been asked to sign in after I publish my comment. No rain - 80's and pleasant. Did nothing special today. Pray all is well with everyone. Take care - coming home Monday. I love us
Spent the day with Angie and Jordyn then went to Biff Burger and has a shroomburger soooo big next time we split it had grilled onions and mushrooms sooooo good Just got home Carl went golfing and joined us after we had ate but was nice they had lots of happening going on motorcycles and the fire dept was there raising money Biff Burger is always involved with the community raising money for teens tonight everyone always does stuff for kids but not teen was really nice nite Now I need to go get a shower

Reading and half watching the Cowboy game. We did not get any rain today, so I have also been watering some.
Trailer is clean and repaired and back at it's home. We will get it the middle of next week to start loading for our departure on the 10th.
Need to get to a yarn shop. I want to work on knitting a baby blanket while traveling. No baby in mind, will just save it for a gift. I like to knit while traveling as I can still carry on a conversation and look at the scenery.
Yes, the blog is really slow right now. Not many posts at all today.
Thunder and pouring rain here this evening. It has been raining off and on all day.
Kathryn went off for the day with a friend who took her son to college. They went down to the Radford area, though he is not attending Radford. He is attending New River Community College down there.
They were planning to enjoy their trip back home, but I am afraid they are having a rainy drive.
Hunter is with his dad this weekend. It is the critters and Grandma here at home.
Thanks for the hurricane link, Judy. Very interesting. I am wondering if we might get some rain from it as well. Thinking of you and everyone down there. Hope this won't be a bad one.

Stopping in to say good night. I hope overall it has been a good day for everyone. I have had an off day today "mood' wise. hmm. I would try getting out of the other side of the bed tomorrow but that"s really not a choice unless I move the wall. I have worked long and hard and very passionately for years with Women's issues in our country. It really get's under my skin when I hear something or someone try to back us up after all this hard work. I don't always agree on how to move forward either but I so care for the plight of families which I believe are indeed strengthened by nurturing women. Let's just say it's gonna be a tough few months in the good old USA. nuff said. HAGD SED
I'm here...more or less... The last few weeks and months actually have been busy; I, too, miss those favorites here, and can know in my heart that we are in their hearts.... just so much to manage with life these days...
Late Greeting, but I want to wish Mary Margaret....Ceil and Helen's older sister, a Very Happy Birthday! xxoxo ( And I need to find the perfect Belated Birthday Card to send !!) I met the Three Sisters at my very first nest visit, June 2008...
Well folks, I'm signing off for the night. The pillow calls my name. I have another class tomorrow. I didn't get home til 6:30 tonight . Tomorrow will be a much shorter day; but will demand my energy and attention.
And we have abowling meeting @ 6.
Sweet dreams to all. Sending light, love, healing and love to all in need. Good night.
So sorry to read of the death in Carolyn and Charlie's family....Charlie's step-uncle... May he rest in peace, and the family be comforted
Also very sorry about your friend, Hoda...what a very sad situation, to go through life and then be rejected...and having to face so many everyday challenges...prayers for your friend, and Good on You for spending some special time with her
I'm still a wee bit tight on time to chitty chat....there are many posts here I'd like to keep commenting on, but...the Night Bandit and the Sandperson are lumbering up the driveway, the nerve !!!
Best Wishes to All....for a good restful night, and a Joyful and Joyous Sunday
Stronghunter: no balls will roll tomorrow,jsut the meeting. we shall see. when i start the season it will be with a new ball, a heavier new ball....but i think it is what i need at this point......we have no sponsor nor matching shirts. we just join the league, pay our dues/fees and bowl....but my goal is to always (ha ha ha) bowl at least 100 .... my average is like 103. sometimes i struggle. lol.
Hoda: it is indeed difficult to have a friend in such a position...we as friends and caring people always hope to "fix" things....and its hard when we cannot. i know you will be a listening ear, a supportive friend, and sometimes, that's the best we can do.
We had the meeting, then those who wanted to bowled just for fun. It was what I think they called 9-tap scoring. If you knocked down 9 pins, it counted as a strike. That is one reason I did so well. Didn't mention that before!!
The forecast is looking better and better for us on the coast but worse for the panhandle the 11pm will show more but looks like it will be over 100 miles form us and we aren't even in the cone of uncertainty The cancelled the opening of the RNC on Mon but the 5thousand protesters are still doing their thing
It seems that Isaac didn't go over any of the mountains so didn't get broke up any and the speed as slowed down some we will still get rain and storm and floods 90percent chance of rain
It will be a cat 2 when its is in the area out from us so we will get the bad side of it the outer edge so to speak with squally weather I think all school are closing tooo so Angie will be home with Jordyn
Well I have to get my butt to bed have to get up a 7 yuk Well I'm calling it a day SED See ya in the am ☼ at Sycamore Sunrise Cyber Cafe Bless this Nest and all ♀ ♥ ♂ whom watch it at Sycamore Palace Healing thoughts for those in need
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
Thank you all for the comments on the lady who shared her story with me today. She needed to talk and I happened to be there. I agree JANET it is not my place to try to fix anything...I am not sure we are friends even. I volunteered with her a few hours over a year or so ago...I just happened to be there today and she happened to be needing to talk. So we shared a cup of tea...
Evening folks Kay. I will be thinking about you when I go through Columbus tomorrow. Friday. It was hot and construction delays. I never should have made this trip in an un airconditioned vehicle. It was the only time I could come when sister in law wasn't working and we could have a good visit. Glad I came but dread trip home. enough complaining. I need to get to sleep. SED everyone
First of all, let me report that happily, Katie the bulldog is feeling much better tonight! She has had some 'hot spots,' caused by the recent HOT weather, and her allergy to something in her environment. Last night it all got MUCH worse, and she had a couple of big spots that were raw and bleeding quite a bit. She wouldn't leave them alone, and neither would her sister, Charlee. The vet gave her a shot for her allergies, cleaned her wounds, and put her on antibiotics, to the tune of $175.00. He says that in a week she will be greatly improved. Right now, she looks as if a giant predator had chewed her up and spit her out! Poor Sis-in-law is having to clean Katie's entire indoor environment very carefully, AND the downstairs dog run. Oh--the upper deck, as well. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!! They certainly are working! The hives and labored breathing are dramatically improved. I am SO thankful!!! God is good!!!!
Margy, I've been thinking of you!! Prayers for you and your whole family continue, and (((HUGS)))!!! Oh--and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY MARGARET!!!
Hoda, glad your paddle on the lake was so beautiful. Prayers for your 74-year-old friend!! I feel SOOO sad for her for all she's gone through recently! No wonder she was upset! I'm sure your time with her did her a world of good. God bless her!!! Sorry to hear that Neil Armstrong has passed. He will be missed. RIP.
Kay, so good to see you back here! Prayers for Julie, and for her doctor visit on Monday! That had to be a pretty scary ER visit! (((HUGS)))!!
Carolyn, so sorry to hear of the passing of Charlie's step-uncle! Prayers and hugs, for sure!!!
GrannyBLT, prayers for you as you continue your journey, without a/c! (((HUGS))), too!
Well, I need to say goodnight. I'm getting sleepy, and my laptop is whining because it wants to do some updates, and I keep delaying them. Prayers have been said for everyone, every creature, and all our furbabies. The porch light is on, and both security systems have been enabled. Wishing all of you a restorative night's sleep, with SED. God bless, and goodnight. I love all of you! ♥♥Remembering Lynn with love♥♥ ♥♥Carolyn & Christie♥♥ I ♥ us!!!!
Met with my granddaughter today and discussed wedding plans and gowns. I'm hoping I will look in my 'Extras' closet and find something pretty to wear...don't have time or patience to go shopping for one. The wedding gown that Jillian has chosen is absolutely beautiful. That is my gift to her~ GG is getting excited about going since we told her we would take the EAGLE EXPRESS for her to rest or nap in when she gets tired..."Oh, I'm so glad you will do that!"
Yawning my head off...need sleep:) Good night my friends, prayers and love for all♥
JUDYE, thanks for posting the video of DanaMo's dogs playing with the tugs. That's easier for JANET to see how fun they are for the dogs. DMO's dogs loved them! So glad to hear you are going to be safe from the storm.
HODA, I am still thinking about your volunteer friend you had tea with yesterday. I'm sure it seems like her world is ending and you were there to be a good friend. Bless you!
WANDA, lucky you to have your extra's closet! That sounds so much better than going out shopping! When are you going to open the shop this year?
ANDY, I'm so happy to hear Katie the bulldog is only suffering from allergies and hot spots. Of course, bulldogs are notorious for such things.
LOLLY, I'm so jealous of your trip to Canada and getting a new trailer next year. I would love to have a motorhome or trailer for my retirement in another 85 years! lol. Seems like forever.
I'm going to take some vacation time next month and go camping at a family reunion with my folks. It'll be the first time I've camped with them and their motorhome. Sure different from a tiny camper when I was a kid! :)
MARGY, it's your weekend!!! I hope you have fun and get some rest whatever you decide to do.
JUDIE, thinking of you being bummed about going back to the big school. I say some prayers for smiles and rest for you. Big HUGS!
LYNNE1/Grannyblt, please send another wave KAY's way on your way through Columbus today. Sorry you're making the trip in the heat. Wishing you safe travels and a cool day!
Woke up to water on the floor of Denny's workroom! UGGGHHH!!! Must have gotten 5" of rain yesterday and last night! I know what I'll be doing on my last day off and it won't be fun! Our wooded lot next to the house looks like a swimmin' hole!
starting tonight until atleast Mon we will be in the tropical winds but we are not in the cone of error Yeah unless it shifts east we may get 4 to 8 inches of rain with it though
feeling sad this morning. morning seems the time of day when emotion is most raw to me. case in point: i mentioned my friends are moving back to PA. saw them last night. at first cheryl told me by spring, i figured by december, before the snows fly.
they are leaving the 7th of september. they are moving their things up on the 7th....they will be back the 20th for a dr appt at vandy for cheryl, then leave again ...for good, the 30th.
i mean we chatted and went to dinner....and i was okay last night, but the dreams come....and woke me up an hour or so ago. i also had a bad dream about my beano (my smallest and youngest dog) and that just finally was enough. i'm out of bed, early even for a reiki sunday...just to stop the tears.
JUDYE: thanks for posting the vid clip for me. that is so cool. what talent to create such things, LORI!
STRONGHUNTER: our team name is the 9's. we don't knock down 9 consistently, but maybe a 7 then a 2 for example. i think i am looking forward to the season. some uncertainty now as to who will be our fourth. our normal fourth, russell, works at sam's club and may/maynot be able to bowl this year. gotta make a decision soon though. we can bowl with 3, but its preferably to bowl with four. we finished 11 or 12th out of 14 teams last year, but given that in the past we have been 14th, its an improvement! lol. and, knowing that, i don't know a single company who'd want to put their names on our shirts!!! lmao. heck, they MIGHT pay us never to MENTION them. :)
JUDYE: loved the weather/disaster maps. had to think how mom and dad would have loved THAT! i am hoping that the weather will not impact our trip to VA BCH this coming week. or that nothing else does either. i think i need a couple days away.......
MS> BOOKWORM: glad that Katie is better. :) hard when there are problems with the furbabies!
HODA: you are such a strong, adventurous spirit! I so admire you!
Well, up plenty early today, that's for sure. Quiet with coffee and my "Beano" time. He always snuggles in the morning (in between checking on the cats who are his buddies).
Level 3 class today. 6 coming to class. :) I should be done by mid afternoon. Then a busy, abbreviated work week ahead. Then, after this trip, I suppose it will feel like summer's over, even though, technically, its not.
Planning Tom's 50th birthday celebration. Have contemplated many things...gonna keep it simple (its the end of Sept btw). Think will just take him out to Carrabbaas (one of his favorites) and invite fam/friends who wish to come and join us. I will make Mom's butter cream cake (mouth watering yet, Judy?) and anyone who wants can come over. Maybe I will have to make 2? Anyway....time to plan that, yet.
Thought about Neil Armstrong last night: we gazed at the moon (which I do often anyway) but thought of a man, a human who helped us as humans to reach out further than we ever have before; he and people like him, with a dream....and a destiny. So sad he has passed.
BTW, did ya'll see GOODLETSVILLE, TN (little league baseball) (and just out side of Nashville) won the championship and go to the world championship today....that's pretty cool!
Well I"ve chattered enough. I will get moving here in a few. Need to do the morning routine, and head out just before 9. its only 6:30 I know, but I am a Capricorn and hate to run late. lol.
Hope everyone has a beautiful day. I'll be thinking of you and check in later. Light, love, hugs, and smiles to all....
So much to comment on that I would need to write a book. Happy everyone seems to be okay, including fur babes. Wish the not-so-good things will disappear quickly. Thank you, Lori.
My delete. Cutting and pasting had made my post confusing.
Hoda, good that you were there for the lady who needed a sympathetic ear.
Kathryn came home late after driving through pouring rain. They did have some enjoyable times, though.
Bowling--Janet, my team finished near the bottom, too. But we moved up from dead last. It was exciting to do that.
We will be Pearson's Angels. Our sponsor is a seafood restaurant in Colonial Beach, VA. The league is called Colonial Beach Ladies, though most members are not from Colonial Beach anymore. Colonial Beach is about 30 miles from here. I think there's no bowling alley any nearer for them.
OK, 4 fans and the dehumidifier running in the workroom. Guess we'll spend all day drying out one section of the room, then moving stuff and drying out another area. According to the local weather, Bethany got at least 6" and in some places close to 10" of rain yesterday and last night!! That's the most rain we've gotten in the 6 years we've been living here full time!!
Sun is out now but there is so much standing water at the gate to the tennis courts, that we can't get onto the courts, even if they are playable - maybe this afternoon.
Good morning! Just not fair, some get too much rain and some of us do not get enough! Where is the happy medium? Still a chance of rain here but I am not holding my breath!
Church this morning and then no plans for the rest of the day. Yea! Oh, I will mop after Jack vacuums. No boys to do the mopping today. lol
Good late morning. I am way past coffee and dog treats time. Actually it's raining here "a little". We will take every drop we can get about now. Dex and I went for a ride to Hardees for Biscuits and Gravy. I bought 2 orders. one for lunch today and one for tomorrow sometime. They are $1.25 on Sundays. Works well for me :-). It's time for a cup of tea here and then soem photography work. Prayers for those who are ailing or mopping up. Prayers for furbabies. My Daph had allergies all her life. It's not fun at all. So glad to see Kay stopping by. Love and a good day to all. I got out of the same side of the bed BUT I have not listened to any news today and haven't read any walls on fb that I really do not care to read right now. It works for me.
HODA, it's so like you to be there for a friend in at just the right time. A good listener is exactly what she needed. Love your avatar ! We missed a great get together, but are so blessed to have the goodies received there.
LYNNE1, guess you've already "flown" by me. Next time you come through Columbus we must get together.
LORI, wonderful to hear about the upcoming camping trip with your parents ! What fun !
WANDA, what happy wedding plans ! So nice there is a way to take GG along.
GLO, you've activated my taste buds ! Haven't seen a Hardees since I left Tucson in 1987. I loved their biscuits and sausage, but don't recall their having gravy back then. Hmmmm, good !
Thanks to all who've mentioned Julie and are keeping her in thoughts and prayers. I'll be taking her to the doc for the Coumidin check tomorrow. It looks like she'll have to take a sick leave and turn her classes over to an adjunct at Columbus State for a while. Tough to do, but a must in my opinion.
Prayers for all whether two footed or four ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Home for lunch and looks like Isaac has moved more to the west and headin to Mississippi People at the store are acting like its gonna be a direct hit here the store shelves are bare and people are still buying The schools have alll decided to close anyway in the area
so Angie and Carl will not come over Angie will work half day since Jordyns school is closed and then Carl will also work the opposite half day this way they both get to work Our work is being a PIA telling the mgmt staff that if people call in to coach them and as a matter of fact I know that HO says it is a excused absent so I told the people to call ho and find out that i am right if your roads are flooded and you can't get out or kids out of school you do what you have to and heck with Wmt and I am sure I am correct but I told them to call maybe they have changed the rules but I doubt it
All is well and I send prayers to all who are in the path of Isaacs.
Exciting about camping with your parents LORI...enjoy it next month...
It is cooler here today...I am still hoping for a warm September. Looking forward to cooking classes this autumn, Asian Cooking...
I will do some house cleaning and rearranging of things today and tomorrow...it is what I think I need to do to greet autumn. I want to have a few more house plants...I will keep an eye out for what would work...
WOW I think everyone has fallen off the face of the earth only one post since I was home for lunch One the Hurricane site someone put this "or those keeping track.. there's been about 75 earthquakes in SoCal this afternoon.. 5.9 strongest i've seen.. " and yep I went on the disaster site and he is correct didn't count them but wow there are alot I hope Jim is ok
It has actually rained a beautiful rain here all day long today. I can not remember once all summer that we have had any ongoing nice rain. He if you are on FB Dex is looking for some of his canine friends to join him in a Nat'l Dog Day photo over on Kritter Kaptures. There are a lot of dogs loved here. I hope some of their Mom/Dads will stop over and post a photo to Kritter Kapture's. Dex wants to party. Thanks
awwww thanks so much to those who stopped by to help celebrate National Doggie Day with Dex. Some really sweet photos over at Kritter Kapture's. Its fun to put furry faces with the names I read on here "kritter' wise. We got lots of rain today. SOme of the creeks are actually overflowing a little bit. Who knows I may get to cut the grass again this summer after all. MTBR
Very pleasant afternoon. The Kokanee Salmon are back at the Kokanee Creek Park. I like how red they are and how far they travel...
It feels like autumn and yet there is sun and it is pleasant...still not thinking socks though!!! I have a whole week before I have to have that thought!!!
Did some wonderful health food store shopping and the peaches are scrumptous...there were blueberries and plums also.
The cleaning and organizing will wait till tomorrow...not enough time today and it is not going anywhere...I am sure I will find it here tomorrow...same time same place!!!LOL!!!Anyone wants to send their maid over???
JUDYE, thinking of you and the family as the storm approaches. Be safe !
LOLLY, great pics of Mr. Independence in his nice new uniform. I hope this school is the perfect fit for him ! I love that haggle toothed stage kids go through---so cute !
Wow, HODA, wish I had your energy. I did when I was your age ;O. You are doing all the right things, dragon boating, yoga, regular visits with docs, healthy eating. This should mean you'll not face my health problems when you reach my age !
MARGY, hope you found that special "something" to make the evening enjoyable ! I've finished one good read today and am about to start on another book. That's my speed these days, but I do love to read.
KAY and all its so calm here only a few sprinkles I am chatting on the Fox feed so cool it is except for a few idiots I guess they are everywhere We should be hit about midnight with a feeder band West Palm Beach now is in the magenta color tornado and the lightening strikes wow unbelievable
I made it on! Missed all of you and trying to read back - We hd one heck of a storm last evening down at the beach and coming home we hit storm activity right before the bridge. But my feet are on home ground now and I am happy!
I am tired so I will sign off and then talk with your all tomorrow I love us! Prayers for all those in need ♥
On chat when the radar on the TV matched what was showing on it I got back in and they teased me I was a addict I told them I was a blogger and was in LM well that opened up a can of worms Finally I told them what LM was now they know a new term to use they said I told them I was in LM of the blog watching the news reading a book and LM of the weather chat Addict for sure they agree LOL
Kay, I think they have found the perfect fit for Zach. He had a great first week. He is happy and his teachers love him. They understand what he needs. Yea!
Nice pictures, Lolly. Glad that things are going so well for Zach.
Kathryn and I went out to Ruby Tuesdays today for dinner. Tom dropped Hunter off there.
Kathryn said that they came through rain so hard last night that she would have pulled off the road but there was nowhere to go. I know that feeling. Scary.
I was worried about her but did not want to call because I thought she needed to concentrate on the driving.
Wanted to say good night to all the eagle peeps out there

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
I don't have to gfo to work till 10 so I can sleep in thats why I am up later tonight
We had a little time to go clothes shopping for Kathryn. She needed some things for the upcoming wedding.
I told her I would treat her to an outfit and decided to write a check. Oh my gosh!! I guess they could not find my ID information on their system. Well, I do exist and I am who I say I am.
We were in a hurry because Kathryn needed to pick up the dogs where they were being groomed. I finally offered cash to get things moving, but they were in mid-transaction and did not want to stop.
Good grief!! She must have given my ID numbers a dozen times.
They finally decided that taking my cash was a good idea, but by then I was locked in the store and it took more time for them to let me out. Kathryn had gone to get the car to speed things up, so I was all alone in the store with the transaction-challenged clerks. Thank goodness they were able to unlock the door.
We finally escaped, and the dog grooming place was waiting for us.
I told Kathryn that I might have stopped at a hotel somewhere if I had been driving in that rain. She said that they did find a place called the Relax Inn, but they decided they would have been relaxing with cockroaches if they had stopped there.
Lots of miles of not much of anything between here and Radford, so they did not have a lot of options.
Jo, hope you had a shorter ride than I did....over an hour longer because of the rain and flooding...the water was running down all 3 lanes on Rt 50 in Easton .... probable 4 inches deep...made it a long drive from there to the Bay Bridge...quite a light show from the storm moving up the coast.
Boy we had some REALLY loud thunder and lots of lightening last night...scared the bejesus out of Steve and I.
Got the last bedroom and 2 remaining closet floors done...ready for the 1/4 round! Yay!
Couldn't go out in the boat...too rainy and lots of inside work to do, but Steve did get 2 fish, and we caught some crabs as well, so it's all good.
Sandi, I heard about all the rain up your way. South of us got around 10" as well...we got 4 inches over the weekend.
Bowling sounds like it is moving along, Shirley. Good luck! I enjoyed bowling on a team, too.
Kay, so glad you are able to stop by more often. Hope Julie's appt goes well, sorry she may have to a take a leave from work, but her health must come first!
I fell asleep on the couch reading...now time to go to bed for real, am working dayshift Monday, instead of being OFF Monday.... an O.T. shift to cover for someone's day off
If last night is an example of what we will be getting, our grass should be getting green very soon. Unless it gets flooded. Geesh. It poured last night.
Talked to Sis-in-law earlier, and Katie the bulldog is still improving. She looks a lot better! Even more important, there's been no recurrance of hives or labored breathing. She seems to have a bad allergy to something in her environment, and we haven't been able to figure out exactly what it is. We're working on it! She's eating a salmon & potato food with no grain, soy, etc.
Haven't read back on the blog very far--need to do that. Be right back!
Wow, Sandi! Hope that Denny's workroom will dry out OK. Some others are getting a lot of rain, too! Hoping that all will be well, and everyone safe and sound.
It was cooler here today again, with a high of 84. It's cooled down to about 73 now, so fairly comfortable.
Didn't do much this afternoon, but did go do some grossery shopping.
JudyE, I didn't feel a single earthquake here today. Brawley, CA had some, but they are in the far southeastern corner of the state, and roughly 150 miles from here. San Diego is closer to Brawley, so may have felt something. Haven't watched the news today, so will check it out in a while.
Think I'm going to call it a day. Prayers have been said for everyone, every creature, and all our furbabies. The porch light is on, and both security systems are enabled. Sleep well, with SED. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! ♥♥Missing Lynn♥♥ ♥♥Carolyn & Christie♥♥ I ♥ us!!!!
Good morning to all... hope everyone is sound asleep!! Of course I am working. :) Thanks so much for kid words and prayers for Charlie's step uncle. Usually someones step uncle is not so close to ones family. But being that he lived with Mom for the last 12 yrs or longer... he was really like family. Rain, rain.... made for sleeping nice today, well yesterday .... Could hear the rain real well since our central air broke and we stuck a window ac unit in our bedroom. The only cool room in the house!! Have a tech coming out on Tuesday morning. Gonna be expensive, I am afraid. The unit will not even turn the fan , heat or ac on. nothing. Completely dead. UGh!! Since April, that is 4 tires on my veh( had two constantly going flat), a washing machine, a garbage disposal, a dishwasher and now the Central AC. I am done!! Mema Jo and Paula, glad that you made it home ok from the beaches! I really really need to take time to go there. I think some peace of mind would do good, maybe next month. Shar and Bev, glad the concert was a good one!! Our venue today at a place called Shiley Acres had Buck Cherry. Next month is going to be Charlie Daniels Band and the Davisson Brothers. We had Charlie Daniles out for Pickin in the Panhandle a few yrs ago. Took Mom to see him.
Good Monday morning Lori, Jewels, and all my eagle friends! It's Back to School Day for me! =(
Jo and Paula - welcome home, glad you made it back safely and didn't float away at the beach or on the drive back!
Glo, loved Dex's latest portrait! I didn't know Kritter Kaptures had a FB page! It's now one of my "Likes."
Workroom dried out fine. Denny has decided to dig a pit just outside the ground floor door to the workroom (where our hot tub used to sit), line it with stone/gravel, and put in a sump pump. He has talked about doing that since we moved here and added the finished ground floor area, but yesterday's water was the clincher. Fall project.
It rained again during the night - not much but some. Don't really care what today's weather looks like, since I'll be in meetings most of the day. Hope there's enough time built in this week to get my room set up. When I taught elem. school, I used to go in during the summer to set up my classroom - don't do that anymore.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPT FATHER GENE! Wanda will make the day extra special for you and wishing you many, many more birthdays to come.
Carolyn, please please stop with all the deceased appliances. The secret hiding place is nearly full and I will have to search for a new one and I am headed back to school so not time to search. Seriously, so very sorry you have had so many burdens this years. Hoping for an A/C miracle (or wait until winter when price might be better).
Good Morning one and all if we got anything last nite I sleep right through it Its not even raining now looks like we had some last nite It looks like the center of the state is getting a big feeder band right now but we are looking good There is 1 1/2 inch in my rain gauge so we got rain they said we may have a couple of feederbands later today So happy we got nothing
Good morning everyone. Dex and I are back from coffee and dog treats. Sun is shining. It had been 111 days since we had had a nice rain like yesterday. My yard is actually 2/3 green again. I was greeted by a baby cardinal that fell from somewhere last night or this morning as I went out to feed the birds. I was coming in to google what to do if anything. It has all but nice tail feathers so it could maybe make it. I have seen Mom approach to feed twice so Dex and I iwll be steering clear of the back yard today and hope for the best for the li'l guy. Lori Yes please go post a picture of FloBear on Kritter Kaptures. I think actually I am going to make a Memorial Folder for some of the special Kritters who come for our page. My son lost his black lab this year too and one other friend posted a photo of her special friend last night. They need a place where we can all go to spend a little time with those paw prints that we all know "furever" stay on our hearts.
Going back to the dermatologist to get a mole removed later today. My previous dermatologist did not want to remove it, but this one said that they will do what I want, and if it is bothering me, it can be removed.
Good morning! Sun shiney here but another chance of rain this evening. Certainly hope it does rain....,I like it!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR CAPT FATHER GENE!!!! MAKE SURE THAT WANDA TREATS YOU RIGHT!
I love all the first day of school pictures folks are posting on fb. One friends daughter is starting kinder. She is holding up a dated sign that says she wants to be an ice cream lady when she grows up. What a cute idea. I hope she holds up a sign every year.
Well, the weather in So Cal, which has been kind of moderate, is going into another heat spell.
My car is back on the road now. It cost a few bucks, and it was running fine, but then I made the mistake of pulling into a station to fill up. As soon as I pulled out of the station and came to a stoplight, I noticed the engine light had come on! Think I'd better take it to a place with an engine analyzer ... soon.
It still runs well, but that light nags at the mind the whole time.
Hunter disappeared when I wasn't looking this morning, and I went out and looked down the street. He was at the bus stop looking very comfortable with the other kids. I do need to remind him to say good-bye when he leaves.
He has decided that he does not want his mom to put out his clothes. He wants to make his own choices. He is very concerned with being cool.
I sort of signed up to it accidentaly, but I was thinking today that this IS August, and Steve had mentioned august....and almost over.....and how wet the ground might be and so on with all that runs through your mind in one or two seconds.
Good morning my friends ♥ Margy, I think that black, green and blue all mean the same thing on the still cam - Cam is down! Best that we keep checking, though - Hopefully Steve will alert us on the blog if there is action going on at the Sycamore Palace..
Beautiful day this first day of school Thoughts of Candy, Dana and Sandi - Then I think of Shirley, the freebird! ♥
I have 3 ggk in school and a big senior in High School. Dominick is the last HS grad for the grand kids. I have always prayed selfishly to be able to attend his graduation. Also have Freshman at UM and gd in her 3rd year of college. SO the 1st day of school this year has lots of meaning for me!
It is good to be home - I can tell my birds and squirrels missed us. Our 2 cats were well taken care of but last night they both snuggled up against me so tightly that I couldn't move to change my position. lol
Reading back before I have lunch-------- Ho9da what a blessing you were for your friend. Just to listen was the best thing for her. I pray her life will continue with God looking over her.
Shirley, sounds like Hunter is becoming his own little man. My 5th grade gd is the same way nowadays! I do hope he says good bye so you can at least be sure his shoes are tied! lol
Jim, 1st check out your gas cap - that can do that to the engine light. It happened to me before.
Concerts- The Bruce Springsteen one up in Philly - GS works summers at Merry Weather Post and so a group of them were sent up to assist with Crowd Control! What a way to see a concert! All went well
Last Sat night we drove to Salisbury on RT 50 to go to dinner - Hubby's brother coming from Easton never made it - had to turn around and go back due to the flooding. The storm later that night was sooooooooo wicked! Flash after flash of lightening and the loudest thunder ever. I was thinking of all the animals under the beds.
I had a show everyday on one of the bushes down home - 20-30 large butterflies every day. The large yellow with black tips and then the large black - I wish I knew their names as I am sure most of you do.
Well, Jo, I came downstairs to find him having ice cream for breakfast. Could be worse, but he got it all over his white shirt. I do not know if he would have changed the shirt if I had not told him to.
Shew, what a weekend! I am wore slam out. Friday night was the Beaver-Graham game (we lost). Saturday we drove to Weston to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum for a 2-1/2 hour tour which was absolutely awesome. Then on to Stonewall Resort for an absolutely gorgeous wedding. Yesterday on the way home we stopped at New River Gorge Bridge and walked to the end of the lookout. I am much too old for that. Last night we went to a Jake Owen and Eric Church concert. Awesome weekend. I have a cousin visiting who was 30 years old before she knew this side of her family. We are so much alike. I love her lots!
This coming weekend, I am going with Andrew, Kelsey and Kelsey's parents to Columbus for a couple of days to celebrate Kelsey's birthday. I love my life.
UPDATE..2PM Eastern .>>GOOD NEWS FROM THE PETITION SITE...Norfolk City Councilman Tommy Smigiel came with his family to sign the petition and there are lots of signatures now. Photos to come later!! The city may think they have this wrapped up but we will go down fighting!! Like · · 23 hours ago
7 people like this. Julie Happy tears!!! 23 hours ago · Like · 1 Eagle Watcher Good work, Team Eagle! Of course it would be better to not have it come to that point, but if a lawyer is needed please count me in for contributions. What better way to spend retirement income than in support of the environment and NBG, one of the shockingly few green places of any size left in this area.
Connie ♥ 21 hours ago · Like Jeanne Adams What part "wild" in "wildlife" do they not get? Are they going to have to eventually deforest a 10 mile swath around the airport? Pave it over? Set up machine guns? Electrify the pavement? Are they going to put up ultralights and small planes to shoot down and kill the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of birds migrating every fall and spring along the Atlantic Flyway? The birds have been doing this for many many millions of years. We have been on this planet for only a fraction of that time. The birds are going to keep on coming and these dislocated-from-their-planet humans are going to keep on killing, if they are not stopped. They have placed both feet out onto a very slippery slope and now their fragile little political egos are involved as well. We may well not be able to stop these "humans," but for sure THEY cannot stop the birds (and other wildlife) despite all the killing at the bottom of this very slippery slope they have started down. What are they thinking? Are they thinking? There are studies already afloat out there using special patterns of blinking lights on the wings of planes to get the attention of birds so they can evade the planes. These have been tested and they work. But instead of using American-inventiveness, they are using American-kill-power, just to show mother nature who is "boss." Surprise, surprise. Going mano-a-mano with mother nature is a guaranteed loser.
Elizabeth Building near long-standing bird migratory routes and in areas filled with both fresh and saltwater sources are worldwide guarantees for more bird strikes. Seagulls, pelicans, egrets, and cranes are large birds that are often in these habitats. So are eagles, however, the NBG eagles have been involved in only 2 incidents in over 10 years. By picking NBG as their territory, the eagles will fight off intruders who want to settle. Without the resident eagles, NBG will likely become eagle condos. The bird strike issues will likely increase. Actually, if you look at patterns of bird strikes flocks of smaller birds like sparrows and starlings potentially more of a proplem since they can get into all of the engines in a short amount of time and cause havoc
Elizabeth I can not believe that those involved in building Norfolk Airport were not advised of these facts by their land scouts. The airport must have known what the statistics were before they built. By the Norfolk Airport's complaint about the NBG eagles to the federal agencies, it seems that they are shifting the blame for a situation they most likely knew would occur.
Geesh Sharon just 8 more hours and you could be here You must go back for Christmas and then swing a little further west. The eagles are supposed to be here by then :-)
Just ran an errand to the Dallas Cowboy Stadium to go to the pro shop. Had never been there before. lol Went to buy Jacob a trash can for his Cowboy bedroom. His birthday is the 8th. Successful trip!
Glo, love your KKapture site! I get so lost on FB...start off one place, then clicking on pictures and I'm far away from where I started before I have to start all over again. Am I the only one who is navigationally challenged and especially so on FB? LOL!
Lori - your music followed me to OC - & it stayed with me all week at the house and followed me back home Needless to say - I was right there with you, gal!

Dog gotta go when a dogs gotta go LOL Automation gone wrong
Good morning everyone. Haven't watched any weather yet so not sure where or how the storm Isaac is doing. I do hope all out there remain safe. No real plans here this weekend. All is well and well is indeed very good. HAGD everyone.
Good morning! Today I clean the trailer and boy is it a mess. Yes, little boys do track in!!!
We are keeping the trailer for a few days as Jack is going to be doing some work on it. We are looking forward to getting a new trailer next spring. Yea!
Chance of rain today and tomorrow. Really hoping we get it. We have had a great August but I still hate August!!! This next week it will be six years since my mother died. Like I said, I hate August!
It's not turned out to be a pretty day here, but the temp is comfortable. Looks like it's going to rain. Hoping you get some tomorrow, LOLLY!
I got all the material (and some extra I found upstairs) for this year's dog tugs cut out. I'd have had blisters if I would have cut anymore.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day!
Wish I had a dog, Lori, just to received one of your tugs. lol I do have two grand dogs!
Good afternoon, Eagle Buds !
As LOLLY said, this blog is sure slow, but it does make catching up easier. Since I've returned I haven't seen posts from LINDA, either of the DANA's or LYNNE2. What's up with them, anyone ?
This is a busy time of year with folks winding up summer, the start of school, etc.. So, I guess there is little cause for alarm.
Julie had to return to ER last night due to difficulty breathing. They did another thorough exam and say the embolisms are all gone. There is still a fluid build up on the lungs, but not enough to warrant drawing it off. She's to drink lots of water, rest and will see her Primary Doctor again on Monday. Thanks for your prayers !!!
My prayers are with you, your pets and families as per requests !
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Prayers for JULIE and I hope ER settles the problem. Love you KAY.
LOLLY it is so exciting that now you start to think of your trip to CANADA...yay!!!
I had a terrific paddle this morning and oh my was it beautiful and breath taking...Went past the Osprey nest and no one was home but saw them flying about.
Lots of geese and a family of ducks came to the beach.Went to coffee with the Dragon Ladies afterwards. We laughed a lot.
Ran an errand and ran into a woman I had volunteered with over a year ago...she was very upset...after 31 years married her husband left because he neve loved her and because he is tired of her health issues!!! She cried so we went for a cup of tea...she is 74 years old and had to assume a mortgage to buy him out from the house. He took the car and she is just stunned as to the changes happening in her life!!! Two months after he left her mother died and then he had a motorcycle accident!!! She is shaken. I am glad we stopped for tea so she could talk...life can deal the unexpected every once in a while.
At 74 she does not want to lose her license but she can not afford to buy a car and so it is a dilema for her right now...I am very sad for her...she does not want to lose her driving skills...
I need to run errands and clean and see what there is to be done around here...it is the best way to deal with sadness.
JUDYE stay safe I understand Issacs is heading your way and it is strong to hurrican levels I just heard...Batten down the hatches gal!!! Keep checking in please so we would know you are well.
Neil Armstrong died.He was 82!!! RIP...I remember the first step on the moon...
I remember it too, HODA. We were little kids camping and my parents brought a B&W portable TV so we wouldn't miss seeing it.
Glad you had such a nice morning on the lake, but so sorry for your friend. That is so sad.
I love the picture of Flo Bear LORI...
Thanks...it is a good Saturday and now it is time to do the laundry...BBL
Was JO going to stay away till the Labour Day weekend or is she coming back after this weekend? Anyone know?
I only know I miss her! Hope she's having a great time and posts tonight. :)
YAY!!! Edward and I will be able to SKYPE this week. He is in Greece and I have not spoken to him since June before I left to the USA. He is the youngest sibling in my American Family...I am happy.
Thanks LORI... I will check FB too. I wished we could hear from LINDA and LYNNE too...I miss them very much.
Yes, what has happened to them? I hope both are just busy with work and we're low on the totem pole. I understand that. We need a leave a absence form! LOL
I wished JUDYE would check in ISAAC does not look too good and pictures of people boarding up their homes...
A Leave of Absence Form that is cool LORI
Duh, that shoulda been leave OF, not leave A...sorry. Fat fingered today!
Wow - rain off and on all day, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, some with thunder and lightning. My plants and shrubs are happy but I would have much preferred to p0lay tennis and then hit the beach!
Hoda, Jo told me that she and Ed will head home some time tomorrow.
Lori, wish I had a dog that could enjoy one of your tugs! bandit is too old and grouchy and Bella has no teeth so she's at a real disadvantage when she plays tug-of-war!! =)
Kay, prayers for Julie that fluids and some more time are all she needs - how scary for her and for you!!
People keep commenting about how slow the blog is. Since this is my first summer on the blog, I have nothing to compare to. Are there fewer people posting than there normally are in the summer, or is this pretty typical?
Have gotten all the bathrooms cleaned and the grocery shopping done (in between storms). Time to feed dogs and people - later!!
Thanks SANDI for update on JO and ED...safe journey to both of them
It is so awesome JIM is keeping the candles burning on the EM candle site...a prayer for all of us who are in need. I stop there periodically and there are always two candles burning from JIM...BRAVO WAY TO GO JIM
HODA and all JO posted yesterday at 1017 this --Mema Jo has left a new comment on the post "Tuesday":
Good evening my friends - I haven't read back yet - I have been asked to sign in after I publish my comment. No rain - 80's
and pleasant. Did nothing special today. Pray all is well with everyone. Take care - coming home Monday. I love us

Reading and half watching the Cowboy game. We did not get any rain today, so I have also been watering some.
Trailer is clean and repaired and back at it's home. We will get it the middle of next week to start loading for our departure on the 10th.
Need to get to a yarn shop. I want to work on knitting a baby blanket while traveling. No baby in mind, will just save it for a gift. I like to knit while traveling as I can still carry on a conversation and look at the scenery.
Good evening,
Yes, the blog is really slow right now. Not many posts at all today.
Thunder and pouring rain here this evening. It has been raining off and on all day.
Kathryn went off for the day with a friend who took her son to college. They went down to the Radford area, though he is not attending Radford. He is attending New River Community College down there.
They were planning to enjoy their trip back home, but I am afraid they are having a rainy drive.
Hunter is with his dad this weekend. It is the critters and Grandma here at home.
Thanks for the hurricane link, Judy. Very interesting. I am wondering if we might get some rain from it as well. Thinking of you and everyone down there. Hope this won't be a bad one.

Thanks JUDYE and I am glad you had a good time at ANGIE'S...
Here is another cool link its all diaster all around the world fires, earthquakes etc
I got it off the previous link on the chat part
Emergency Diaster Information Map
Wow! You have all kinds of connections, Judy.
Stopping in to say good night. I hope overall it has been a good day for everyone. I have had an off day today "mood' wise. hmm. I would try getting out of the other side of the bed tomorrow but that"s really not a choice unless I move the wall. I have worked long and hard and very passionately for years with Women's issues in our country. It really get's under my skin when I hear something or someone try to back us up after all this hard work. I don't always agree on how to move forward either but I so care for the plight of families which I believe are indeed strengthened by nurturing women. Let's just say it's gonna be a tough few months in the good old USA. nuff said. HAGD SED
I'm here...more or less... The last few weeks and months actually have been busy; I, too, miss those favorites here, and can know in my heart that we are in their hearts....
just so much to manage with life these days...
Late Greeting, but I want to wish Mary Margaret....Ceil and Helen's older sister, a Very Happy Birthday! xxoxo
( And I need to find the perfect Belated Birthday Card to send !!)
I met the Three Sisters at my very first nest visit, June 2008...
Lovin's to you all, Eagle Pals
xoxo
Warm wishes across the miles, Glo....
that Sunday will be Sunny and Bright for you, no matter what the weather is like,
Love to you and Dex !!
Prayers for Julie. Hoping that her recovery is quick.
Good evening Eagle People:
LORI: forgive me, but what's a dog tug?
JUDYE: thanks for the link.
Well folks, I'm signing off for the night. The pillow calls my name. I have another class tomorrow. I didn't get home til 6:30 tonight . Tomorrow will be a much shorter day; but will demand my energy and attention.
And we have abowling meeting @ 6.
Sweet dreams to all. Sending light, love, healing and love to all in need. Good night.
Happy birthday to Mary Margaret.
So sorry to read of the death in Carolyn and Charlie's family....Charlie's step-uncle...
May he rest in peace, and the family be comforted
Also very sorry about your friend, Hoda...what a very sad situation, to go through life and then be rejected...and having to face so many everyday challenges...prayers for your friend, and Good on You for spending some special time with her
Hope your bowling meeting goes better than mine did, Janet.
But, I have to say ours turned out okay. Our team got a sponsor and free t-shirts.
I hope you are enjoying your part-time solitary time, Shirley...
Yes, prayers for Kay's Julie, and for any and all of us and our families with ailments and sadnesses...
Sure is comfort to be found here, allrighty, I am very grateful for that
((HUGS))
So the name of our team will be determined by the name of the sponsor.
I'm still a wee bit tight on time to chitty chat....there are many posts here I'd like to keep commenting on, but...the Night Bandit and the Sandperson are lumbering up the driveway, the nerve !!!
Best Wishes to All....for a good restful night, and a Joyful and Joyous Sunday
Hope you will be safe from the hurricane, JudyE
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo
We got good, soaking rain today. Only thing is that Kathryn is out driving in it.
I might be tempted to find a hotel somewhere if I were on that trip, but I don't think they have the funds for that.
Stronghunter: no balls will roll tomorrow,jsut the meeting. we shall see. when i start the season it will be with a new ball, a heavier new ball....but i think it is what i need at this point......we have no sponsor nor matching shirts. we just join the league, pay our dues/fees and bowl....but my goal is to always (ha ha ha) bowl at least 100 .... my average is like 103. sometimes i struggle. lol.
good night ya'll
Time for me to call it quits. I will see you all tomorrow.
Hoda: it is indeed difficult to have a friend in such a position...we as friends and caring people always hope to "fix" things....and its hard when we cannot. i know you will be a listening ear, a supportive friend, and sometimes, that's the best we can do.
JANET A TUG IS WHAT LORI MAKES HERE IS A VIDEO I KNEW I COULD FIND IT DANAMO POSTED A WHILE ABACK AND I FOUND IT ON HER BLOG Danamo dogs and Lori tugs
We had the meeting, then those who wanted to bowled just for fun. It was what I think they called 9-tap scoring. If you knocked down 9 pins, it counted as a strike. That is one reason I did so well. Didn't mention that before!!
But even knocking down 9 pins consistently was an improvement for me.
Your average is better than mine, Janet.
The forecast is looking better and better for us on the coast but worse for the panhandle the 11pm will show more but looks like it will be over 100 miles form us and we aren't even in the cone of uncertainty The cancelled the opening of the RNC on Mon but the 5thousand protesters are still doing their thing
Most of the teams had sponsors last year, Janet. They pay some expenses, but I am not sure how that all works.
In return, they get to advertise by having the company name in the team name.
Glad the forecast is better for you, Judy.
Good night for real this time.
SED.
It seems that Isaac didn't go over any of the mountains so didn't get broke up any and the speed as slowed down some we will still get rain and storm and floods 90percent chance of rain
It will be a cat 2 when its is in the area out from us so we will get the bad side of it the outer edge so to speak with squally weather I think all school are closing tooo so Angie will be home with Jordyn
Well I have to get my butt to bed have to get up a 7 yuk
Well I'm calling it a day

Good late evening to everyone.
Hoda, so very sorry about your friend. What a horrific turn of events in her life. I'm so very sure the time you gave her was an unexpected blessing.
Kay, sending a prayer for Julie and her recovery.
Shirley, congrats! A sponsor and free shirts -- cool!
Margy, hope you have tomorrow off and wonder if you will have some James the Wise time. Hope so.
It is time to say goodnight. The sandperson is here and ready to begin his rounds for the evening. Restful sleep for all.
Thank you all for the comments on the lady who shared her story with me today. She needed to talk and I happened to be there. I agree JANET it is not my place to try to fix anything...I am not sure we are friends even. I volunteered with her a few hours over a year or so ago...I just happened to be there today and she happened to be needing to talk. So we shared a cup of tea...
Evening folks
Kay. I will be thinking about you when I go through Columbus tomorrow. Friday. It was hot and construction delays. I never should have made this trip in an un airconditioned vehicle. It was the only time I could come when sister in law wasn't working and we could have a good visit. Glad I came but dread trip home.
enough complaining. I need to get to sleep. SED everyone
I put some more pictures on my blog from the White water rafting trip.
Goodnight
PRAYERS♥
Hi, Everyone,
First of all, let me report that happily, Katie the bulldog is feeling much better tonight! She has had some 'hot spots,' caused by the recent HOT weather, and her allergy to something in her environment. Last night it all got MUCH worse, and she had a couple of big spots that were raw and bleeding quite a bit. She wouldn't leave them alone, and neither would her sister, Charlee. The vet gave her a shot for her allergies, cleaned her wounds, and put her on antibiotics, to the tune of $175.00. He says that in a week she will be greatly improved. Right now, she looks as if a giant predator had chewed her up and spit her out! Poor Sis-in-law is having to clean Katie's entire indoor environment very carefully, AND the downstairs dog run. Oh--the upper deck, as well.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!
They certainly are working! The hives and labored breathing are dramatically improved. I am SO thankful!!! God is good!!!!
Margy, I've been thinking of you!!
Prayers for you and your whole family continue, and (((HUGS)))!!!
Oh--and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY MARGARET!!!
Hoda, glad your paddle on the lake was so beautiful. Prayers for your 74-year-old friend!! I feel SOOO sad for her for all she's gone through recently! No wonder she was upset! I'm sure your time with her did her a world of good. God bless her!!! Sorry to hear that Neil Armstrong has passed. He will be missed. RIP.
Kay, so good to see you back here!
Prayers for Julie, and for her doctor visit on Monday! That had to be a pretty scary ER visit!
(((HUGS)))!!
Carolyn, so sorry to hear of the passing of Charlie's step-uncle!
Prayers and hugs, for sure!!!
GrannyBLT, prayers for you as you
continue your journey, without a/c!
(((HUGS))), too!
Well, I need to say goodnight. I'm getting sleepy, and my laptop is whining because it wants to do some updates, and I keep delaying them. Prayers have been said for everyone, every creature, and all our furbabies. The porch light is on, and both security systems have been enabled. Wishing all of you a restorative night's sleep, with SED. God bless, and goodnight. I love all of you!

HELLO...
Met with my granddaughter today and discussed wedding plans and gowns. I'm hoping I will look in my 'Extras' closet and find something pretty to wear...don't have time or patience to go shopping for one.
The wedding gown that Jillian has chosen is absolutely beautiful. That is my gift to her~
GG is getting excited about going since we told her we would take the EAGLE EXPRESS for her to rest or nap in when she gets tired..."Oh, I'm so glad you will do that!"
Yawning my head off...need sleep:)
Good night my friends, prayers and love for all♥
Good Morning Eagle Friends!
JUDYE, thanks for posting the video of DanaMo's dogs playing with the tugs. That's easier for JANET to see how fun they are for the dogs. DMO's dogs loved them!
So glad to hear you are going to be safe from the storm.
HODA, I am still thinking about your volunteer friend you had tea with yesterday. I'm sure it seems like her world is ending and you were there to be a good friend. Bless you!
WANDA, lucky you to have your extra's closet! That sounds so much better than going out shopping! When are you going to open the shop this year?
ANDY, I'm so happy to hear Katie the bulldog is only suffering from allergies and hot spots. Of course, bulldogs are notorious for such things.
LOLLY, I'm so jealous of your trip to Canada and getting a new trailer next year. I would love to have a motorhome or trailer for my retirement in another 85 years! lol. Seems like forever.
I'm going to take some vacation time next month and go camping at a family reunion with my folks. It'll be the first time I've camped with them and their motorhome. Sure different from a tiny camper when I was a kid! :)
MARGY, it's your weekend!!! I hope you have fun and get some rest whatever you decide to do.
JUDIE, thinking of you being bummed about going back to the big school. I say some prayers for smiles and rest for you. Big HUGS!
LYNNE1/Grannyblt, please send another wave KAY's way on your way through Columbus today. Sorry you're making the trip in the heat. Wishing you safe travels and a cool day!
PAULA and JO, safe travels to you on your way home from the beach.
SANDI, is it tomorrow that you go back to school/work?
Good Morning one and all Back to work today I don't wanna go LOL Don't make me LOL
Woke up to water on the floor of Denny's workroom! UGGGHHH!!! Must have gotten 5" of rain yesterday and last night! I know what I'll be doing on my last day off and it won't be fun! Our wooded lot next to the house looks like a swimmin' hole!
Have a good day all!
starting tonight until atleast Mon we will be in the tropical winds but we are not in the cone of error Yeah unless it shifts east we may get 4 to 8 inches of rain with it though
good morning my eagle friends.
feeling sad this morning. morning seems the time of day when emotion is most raw to me. case in point: i mentioned my friends are moving back to PA. saw them last night. at first cheryl told me by spring, i figured by december, before the snows fly.
they are leaving the 7th of september. they are moving their things up on the 7th....they will be back the 20th for a dr appt at vandy for cheryl, then leave again ...for good, the 30th.
i mean we chatted and went to dinner....and i was okay last night, but the dreams come....and woke me up an hour or so ago. i also had a bad dream about my beano (my smallest and youngest dog) and that just finally was enough. i'm out of bed, early even for a reiki sunday...just to stop the tears.
JUDYE: thanks for posting the vid clip for me. that is so cool. what talent to create such things, LORI!
STRONGHUNTER: our team name is the 9's. we don't knock down 9 consistently, but maybe a 7 then a 2 for example. i think i am looking forward to the season. some uncertainty now as to who will be our fourth. our normal fourth, russell, works at sam's club and may/maynot be able to bowl this year. gotta make a decision soon though. we can bowl with 3, but its preferably to bowl with four. we finished 11 or 12th out of 14 teams last year, but given that in the past we have been 14th, its an improvement! lol. and, knowing that, i don't know a single company who'd want to put their names on our shirts!!! lmao. heck, they MIGHT pay us never to MENTION them. :)
JUDYE: loved the weather/disaster maps. had to think how mom and dad would have loved THAT! i am hoping that the weather will not impact our trip to VA BCH this coming week. or that nothing else does either. i think i need a couple days away.......
MS> BOOKWORM: glad that Katie is better. :) hard when there are problems with the furbabies!
HODA: you are such a strong, adventurous spirit! I so admire you!
Well, up plenty early today, that's for sure. Quiet with coffee and my "Beano" time. He always snuggles in the morning (in between checking on the cats who are his buddies).
Level 3 class today. 6 coming to class. :) I should be done by mid afternoon. Then a busy, abbreviated work week ahead. Then, after this trip, I suppose it will feel like summer's over, even though, technically, its not.
Planning Tom's 50th birthday celebration. Have contemplated many things...gonna keep it simple (its the end of Sept btw). Think will just take him out to Carrabbaas (one of his favorites) and invite fam/friends who wish to come and join us. I will make Mom's butter cream cake (mouth watering yet, Judy?) and anyone who wants can come over. Maybe I will have to make 2? Anyway....time to plan that, yet.
Thought about Neil Armstrong last night: we gazed at the moon (which I do often anyway) but thought of a man, a human who helped us as humans to reach out further than we ever have before; he and people like him, with a dream....and a destiny. So sad he has passed.
BTW, did ya'll see GOODLETSVILLE, TN (little league baseball) (and just out side of Nashville) won the championship and go to the world championship today....that's pretty cool!
Well I"ve chattered enough. I will get moving here in a few. Need to do the morning routine, and head out just before 9. its only 6:30 I know, but I am a Capricorn and hate to run late. lol.
Hope everyone has a beautiful day. I'll be thinking of you and check in later. Light, love, hugs, and smiles to all....
Good morning.
So much to comment on that I would need to write a book. Happy everyone seems to be okay, including fur babes. Wish the not-so-good things will disappear quickly. Thank you, Lori.
Wishing everyone a very, very nice day.
Good morning,
My delete. Cutting and pasting had made my post confusing.
Hoda, good that you were there for the lady who needed a sympathetic ear.
Kathryn came home late after driving through pouring rain. They did have some enjoyable times, though.
Bowling--Janet, my team finished near the bottom, too. But we moved up from dead last. It was exciting to do that.
We will be Pearson's Angels. Our sponsor is a seafood restaurant in Colonial Beach, VA. The league is called Colonial Beach Ladies, though most members are not from Colonial Beach anymore. Colonial Beach is about 30 miles from here. I think there's no bowling alley any nearer for them.
OK, 4 fans and the dehumidifier running in the workroom. Guess we'll spend all day drying out one section of the room, then moving stuff and drying out another area. According to the local weather, Bethany got at least 6" and in some places close to 10" of rain yesterday and last night!! That's the most rain we've gotten in the 6 years we've been living here full time!!
Sun is out now but there is so much standing water at the gate to the tennis courts, that we can't get onto the courts, even if they are playable - maybe this afternoon.
Later.
Good morning! Just not fair, some get too much rain and some of us do not get enough! Where is the happy medium? Still a chance of rain here but I am not holding my breath!
Church this morning and then no plans for the rest of the day. Yea! Oh, I will mop after Jack vacuums. No boys to do the mopping today. lol
Good late morning. I am way past coffee and dog treats time. Actually it's raining here "a little". We will take every drop we can get about now. Dex and I went for a ride to Hardees for Biscuits and Gravy. I bought 2 orders. one for lunch today and one for tomorrow sometime. They are $1.25 on Sundays. Works well for me :-). It's time for a cup of tea here and then soem photography work. Prayers for those who are ailing or mopping up. Prayers for furbabies. My Daph had allergies all her life. It's not fun at all. So glad to see Kay stopping by. Love and a good day to all. I got out of the same side of the bed BUT I have not listened to any news today and haven't read any walls on fb that I really do not care to read right now. It works for me.
Good afternoon dear Eagle Buds !
HODA, it's so like you to be there for a friend in at just the right time. A good listener is exactly what she needed. Love your avatar ! We missed a great get together, but are so blessed to have the goodies received there.
LYNNE1, guess you've already "flown" by me. Next time you come through Columbus we must get together.
LORI, wonderful to hear about the upcoming camping trip with your parents ! What fun !
WANDA, what happy wedding plans ! So nice there is a way to take GG along.
GLO, you've activated my taste buds ! Haven't seen a Hardees since I left Tucson in 1987. I loved their biscuits and sausage, but don't recall their having gravy back then. Hmmmm, good !
Thanks to all who've mentioned Julie and are keeping her in thoughts and prayers. I'll be taking her to the doc for the Coumidin check tomorrow. It looks like she'll have to take a sick leave and turn her classes over to an adjunct at Columbus State for a while. Tough to do, but a must in my opinion.
Prayers for all whether two footed or four ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Home for lunch and looks like Isaac has moved more to the west and headin to Mississippi People at the store are acting like its gonna be a direct hit here the store shelves are bare and people are still buying The schools have alll decided to close anyway in the area
so Angie and Carl will not come over Angie will work half day since Jordyns school is closed and then Carl will also work the opposite half day this way they both get to work Our work is being a PIA telling the mgmt staff that if people call in to coach them and as a matter of fact I know that HO says it is a excused absent so I told the people to call ho and find out that i am right if your roads are flooded and you can't get out or kids out of school you do what you have to and heck with Wmt and I am sure I am correct but I told them to call maybe they have changed the rules but I doubt it
OK need to head back to work just check radar looks like a feeder band just below our county
Good afternoon.
All is well and I send prayers to all who are in the path of Isaacs.
Exciting about camping with your parents LORI...enjoy it next month...
It is cooler here today...I am still hoping for a warm September.
Looking forward to cooking classes this autumn, Asian Cooking...
I will do some house cleaning and rearranging of things today and tomorrow...it is what I think I need to do to greet autumn. I want to have a few more house plants...I will keep an eye out for what would work...
and we are on the bad side of the storm so will have weather alert raidio on and be prepared to go to the tub
Stay safe JUDYE...
We finally got some rain...a half inch!! We sat on the patio and enjoyed it! Jack has now gone to his workshop, so I will get busy and mop.
Just thinking of the rain all over the yard, down on the pecan trees make me really happy!1☺
WOW I think everyone has fallen off the face of the earth only one post since I was home for lunch One the Hurricane site someone put this "or those keeping track.. there's been about 75 earthquakes in SoCal this afternoon.. 5.9 strongest i've seen.. " and yep I went on the disaster site and he is correct didn't count them but wow there are alot I hope Jim is ok
All we have had is sprinkles feeder bans all around but we have nothing yet
It has actually rained a beautiful rain here all day long today. I can not remember once all summer that we have had any ongoing nice rain. He if you are on FB Dex is looking for some of his canine friends to join him in a Nat'l Dog Day photo over on Kritter Kaptures. There are a lot of dogs loved here. I hope some of their Mom/Dads will stop over and post a photo to Kritter Kapture's. Dex wants to party. Thanks
I have added to my family pics blog pics of Zacharooski on his first day of school.
Zacharooski
If you make it larger you will see he is missing a front tooth, well he is now missing two.
Stay safe, JUDYE!
Very nice, Lolly, the pictures.
I left a note for my visiting nephew Jed this week-end, and I addressed him as Jedarooski :)
Good Evening, Eagle Pals...
We got rain, rain, and more rain today, and at one point, briefly, the Giants were Bowling....
Quite impressive all things considered..
xo
We might have even had a tornado warning at some point around mid-afternoon
Sandi: So sorry about the water mayhem in Dennis's workroom...WOOF !
Hoping that everyone is having a relaxing kind of evening, or that you can make it happen one way or the other...
Janet, I am sorry that your dear friends are moving so soon! It's tough tough tough being far away from loved ones.
I am going to go do something, not sure what but I am going to try to make it enjoyable
"See You Later" before bedtime.
awwww thanks so much to those who stopped by to help celebrate National Doggie Day with Dex. Some really sweet photos over at Kritter Kapture's. Its fun to put furry faces with the names I read on here "kritter' wise. We got lots of rain today. SOme of the creeks are actually overflowing a little bit. Who knows I may get to cut the grass again this summer after all. MTBR
Very pleasant afternoon. The Kokanee Salmon are back at the Kokanee Creek Park. I like how red they are and how far they travel...
It feels like autumn and yet there is sun and it is pleasant...still not thinking socks though!!!
I have a whole week before I have to have that thought!!!
Did some wonderful health food store shopping and the peaches are scrumptous...there were blueberries and plums also.
The cleaning and organizing will wait till tomorrow...not enough time today and it is not going anywhere...I am sure I will find it here tomorrow...same time same place!!!LOL!!!Anyone wants to send their maid over???
JUDYE, thinking of you and the family as the storm approaches. Be safe !
LOLLY, great pics of Mr. Independence in his nice new uniform. I hope this school is the perfect fit for him ! I love that haggle toothed stage kids go through---so cute !
Wow, HODA, wish I had your energy. I did when I was your age ;O. You are doing all the right things, dragon boating, yoga, regular visits with docs, healthy eating. This should mean you'll not face my health problems when you reach my age !
MARGY, hope you found that special "something" to make the evening enjoyable ! I've finished one good read today and am about to start on another book. That's my speed these days, but I do love to read.
Nighty night all ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
It is good to be home! Google has been blocking me and I think it still is.
Hoping this publishes
KAY and all its so calm here only a few sprinkles I am chatting on the Fox feed so cool it is except for a few idiots I guess they are everywhere We should be hit about midnight with a feeder band West Palm Beach now is in the magenta color tornado and the lightening strikes wow unbelievable
Chat is on the right you can be anonymous or login in I am JudyE naturally
I made it on! Missed all of you and trying to read back - We hd one heck of a storm last evening down at the beach and coming home we hit storm activity right before the bridge. But my feet are on home ground now and I am happy!
I am tired so I will sign off and then talk with your all tomorrow
I love us!
Prayers for all those in need ♥
I just signed off the chat to watch the news and to read some before I hit the hay my back is killing me sitting here big dummy
On chat when the radar on the TV matched what was showing on it I got back in and they teased me I was a addict I told them I was a blogger and was in LM well that opened up a can of worms Finally I told them what LM was now they know a new term to use they said I told them I was in LM of the blog watching the news reading a book and LM of the weather chat Addict for sure they agree LOL
Hi Jo, good to have you back home. You were missed.
Jedarooski! Love it!
Kay, I think they have found the perfect fit for Zach. He had a great first week. He is happy and his teachers love him. They understand what he needs. Yea!
Nice pictures, Lolly. Glad that things are going so well for Zach.
Kathryn and I went out to Ruby Tuesdays today for dinner. Tom dropped Hunter off there.
Kathryn said that they came through rain so hard last night that she would have pulled off the road but there was nowhere to go. I know that feeling. Scary.
I was worried about her but did not want to call because I thought she needed to concentrate on the driving.
Wanted to say good night to all the eagle peeps out there

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
I don't have to gfo to work till 10 so I can sleep in thats why I am up later tonight
We had a little time to go clothes shopping for Kathryn. She needed some things for the upcoming wedding.
I told her I would treat her to an outfit and decided to write a check. Oh my gosh!! I guess they could not find my ID information on their system. Well, I do exist and I am who I say I am.
We were in a hurry because Kathryn needed to pick up the dogs where they were being groomed. I finally offered cash to get things moving, but they were in mid-transaction and did not want to stop.
Good grief!! She must have given my ID numbers a dozen times.
They finally decided that taking my cash was a good idea, but by then I was locked in the store and it took more time for them to let me out. Kathryn had gone to get the car to speed things up, so I was all alone in the store with the transaction-challenged clerks. Thank goodness they were able to unlock the door.
We finally escaped, and the dog grooming place was waiting for us.
Pulling a Margy here Hey did you all know that its the 7th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina they just said that on the news the 29th
I told Kathryn that I might have stopped at a hotel somewhere if I had been driving in that rain. She said that they did find a place called the Relax Inn, but they decided they would have been relaxing with cockroaches if they had stopped there.
Lots of miles of not much of anything between here and Radford, so they did not have a lot of options.
Welcome home, Jo. So glad you are back without trouble and safe and sound.
Judy, take precautions as needed. You and the family stay safe, please.
Margy, hope you found yourself "something" enjoyable.
Hoda, bet you put your socks on before Margy puts her socks on. Cooler weather would be welcome here.
Glo, glad National Doggie Day was a success for you and Dex.
Hi Kay. So nice to have to back on the blog. Keep improving, please.
Shirley, glad Kathryn arrived safely and you three were able to enjoy dinner out.
Lolly, so glad Zach has a comfortable fit for school. I'm sure he will thrive.
The sandperson is anxious to be on the way -- something about getting ahead of some storm. So, the night light is on. Restful sleep for all.
Jo, hope you had a shorter ride than I did....over an hour longer because of the rain and flooding...the water was running down all 3 lanes on Rt 50 in Easton .... probable 4 inches deep...made it a long drive from there to the Bay Bridge...quite a light show from the storm moving up the coast.
Boy we had some REALLY loud thunder and lots of lightening last night...scared the bejesus out of Steve and I.
Got the last bedroom and 2 remaining closet floors done...ready for the 1/4 round! Yay!
Couldn't go out in the boat...too rainy and lots of inside work to do, but Steve did get 2 fish, and we caught some crabs as well, so it's all good.
Yes, I saw that about Katrina, too, Judy. Isaac looks like it could be a real problem, too. Not as bad as Katrina, but a problem.
Glad you are safely home, Paula and Jo.
Sandi, I heard about all the rain up your way. South of us got around 10" as well...we got 4 inches over the weekend.
Bowling sounds like it is moving along, Shirley. Good luck! I enjoyed bowling on a team, too.
Kay, so glad you are able to stop by more often. Hope Julie's appt goes well, sorry she may have to a take a leave from work, but her health must come first!
Hope you get enough rain to grow some grass, Glo. Our grass is pretty sad looking.
Good Night Everyone
Welcome Home Beach Bunnies Jo and Paula...
I fell asleep on the couch reading...now time to go to bed for real, am working dayshift Monday, instead of being OFF Monday....
an O.T. shift to cover for someone's day off

Shirley, my grass here is really green, been having to mow each week now, looks like this week I will mow again.
Lolly, Zach looks great! Glad he likes the school!
Hoda, glad you had a good time rafting! The pics are great.
Going to say good night.
If last night is an example of what we will be getting, our grass should be getting green very soon. Unless it gets flooded. Geesh. It poured last night.
SED, everyone.
Night all! SED!!!
And, I must say it is nice to see Kay popping in!♥
HELLO...
I hope you all had a nice weekend.
We had a lot of rain, which the veggie and flower gardens loved:)
Going to say Good Night, then read facebook comments for a while and then the blog if I am still awake:) Prayers and love for all♥
Welcome home JO and PAULA.
KAY you are kind and I hope to be as wonderful as you are with strength and determination as you...Thanks.
Objects of My Affection by Jill Smolinski is a very good book...I am enjoying how the characters are developing...
JUDIE I will hold off socks as long as I can !!! LOL !!!
Good night
PRAYERS♥
Hi, Everyone,
Talked to Sis-in-law earlier, and Katie the bulldog is still improving. She looks a lot better!
Even more important, there's been no recurrance of hives or labored breathing. She seems to have a bad allergy to something in her environment, and we haven't been able to figure out exactly what it is. We're working on it! She's eating a salmon & potato food with no grain, soy, etc.
Haven't read back on the blog very far--need to do that. Be right back!
Wow, Sandi! Hope that Denny's workroom will dry out OK. Some others are getting a lot of rain, too! Hoping that all will be well, and everyone safe and sound.
It was cooler here today again, with a high of 84. It's cooled down to about 73 now, so fairly comfortable.
Didn't do much this afternoon, but did go do some grossery shopping.
JudyE, I didn't feel a single earthquake here today. Brawley, CA had some, but they are in the far southeastern corner of the state, and roughly 150 miles from here. San Diego is closer to Brawley, so may have felt something. Haven't watched the news today, so will check it out in a while.
Think I'm going to call it a day.
Prayers have been said for everyone, every creature, and all our furbabies. The porch light is on, and both security systems are enabled. Sleep well, with SED. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you!
♥♥Missing Lynn♥♥
♥♥Carolyn & Christie♥♥
I ♥ us!!!!
Good morning everyone!!!
ANDY, happy to hear that Katie is doing so much better! YAY!
LOLLY, that is an adorable picture of Zacarooski! Love the staircase in the photo, too! He really is adorable.
PAULA & JO, glad you both made it home safely through the rain. WELCOME HOME!
JUDYE, keep up posted on the storm. Hope it's not too bad for you tonight/this morning when you thought you were going to get so much rain.
KAY, just love checking in and seeing that you've been here. Makes me smile! :)
SANDI, how is Denny's workroom coming along? Any progress in the big dry out?
GLO, thanks for posting about the FB Kritter Kapture page - I'm going to have to go over there and post a pic of FloBear. Miss that boy.
HODA, sounds like some great grocery shopping. I love shopping in health food stores, too!
SHIRLEY, how did you like "the NEW Ruby Tuesdays"? They keep advertising it on TV that it's new anyway! I haven't been in a while.
MARGY, glad you found your enjoyment in your book. How is your weekend going? Is your family doing okay?
Time to get off here and move along. Gotta get ready for work. Sleep study is tonight, so I am off tomorrow. YAY!
Good morning to all... hope everyone is sound asleep!!
Of course I am working. :)
Thanks so much for kid words and prayers for Charlie's step uncle. Usually someones step uncle is not so close to ones family. But being that he lived with Mom for the last 12 yrs or longer... he was really like family.
Rain, rain.... made for sleeping nice today, well yesterday ....
Could hear the rain real well since our central air broke and we stuck a window ac unit in our bedroom. The only cool room in the house!! Have a tech coming out on Tuesday morning. Gonna be expensive, I am afraid. The unit will not even turn the fan , heat or ac on. nothing. Completely dead. UGh!! Since April, that is 4 tires on my veh( had two constantly going flat), a washing machine, a garbage disposal, a dishwasher and now the Central AC. I am done!!
Mema Jo and Paula, glad that you made it home ok from the beaches!
I really really need to take time to go there. I think some peace of mind would do good, maybe next month.
Shar and Bev, glad the concert was a good one!!
Our venue today at a place called Shiley Acres had Buck Cherry. Next month is going to be Charlie Daniels Band and the Davisson Brothers. We had Charlie Daniles out for Pickin in the Panhandle a few yrs ago. Took Mom to see him.
Good Monday morning Lori, Jewels, and all my eagle friends! It's Back to School Day for me! =(
Jo and Paula - welcome home, glad you made it back safely and didn't float away at the beach or on the drive back!
Glo, loved Dex's latest portrait! I didn't know Kritter Kaptures had a FB page! It's now one of my "Likes."
Workroom dried out fine. Denny has decided to dig a pit just outside the ground floor door to the workroom (where our hot tub used to sit), line it with stone/gravel, and put in a sump pump. He has talked about doing that since we moved here and added the finished ground floor area, but yesterday's water was the clincher. Fall project.
It rained again during the night - not much but some. Don't really care what today's weather looks like, since I'll be in meetings most of the day. Hope there's enough time built in this week to get my room set up. When I taught elem. school, I used to go in during the summer to set up my classroom - don't do that anymore.
Have a great day all!
Good Monday Morning Eagle Pals....
Big Round of Happy Birthday Wishes for our Captain Father Warden Gene ! Hope this is your Best Birthday Ever !!
And Best Wishes to Everyone...
Sandi: Hope your First School Day goes very well
Jewels, so sorry for the sadness and loss, and the broken A/C...

getting ready for work,
looking forward to be-bopping with some Lori and Loo tunes here shortly...
So: TTFN
xoxox (( All Day Hugs ))
Happy birthday, Gene!!
Hmm, I did not know Ruby Tuesdays was new, Lori. I noticed that the salad bar was smaller.
Good Morning!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPT FATHER GENE! Wanda will make the day extra special for you and wishing you many, many more birthdays to come.
Carolyn, please please stop with all the deceased appliances. The secret hiding place is nearly full and I will have to search for a new one and I am headed back to school so not time to search. Seriously, so very sorry you have had so many burdens this years. Hoping for an A/C miracle (or wait until winter when price might be better).
Off to find coffee. BBL
Wishing everyone a good morning.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPT. FATHER GENE!
Good morning THELMA, SHIRLEY & JUDIE!
Good Morning one and all if we got anything last nite I sleep right through it Its not even raining now looks like we had some last nite It looks like the center of the state is getting a big feeder band right now but we are looking good There is 1 1/2 inch in my rain gauge so we got rain they said we may have a couple of feederbands later today So happy we got nothing
Good morning everyone. Dex and I are back from coffee and dog treats. Sun is shining. It had been 111 days since we had had a nice rain like yesterday. My yard is actually 2/3 green again. I was greeted by a baby cardinal that fell from somewhere last night or this morning as I went out to feed the birds. I was coming in to google what to do if anything. It has all but nice tail feathers so it could maybe make it. I have seen Mom approach to feed twice so Dex and I iwll be steering clear of the back yard today and hope for the best for the li'l guy. Lori Yes please go post a picture of FloBear on Kritter Kaptures. I think actually I am going to make a Memorial Folder for some of the special Kritters who come for our page. My son lost his black lab this year too and one other friend posted a photo of her special friend last night. They need a place where we can all go to spend a little time with those paw prints that we all know "furever" stay on our hearts.
Going back to the dermatologist to get a mole removed later today. My previous dermatologist did not want to remove it, but this one said that they will do what I want, and if it is bothering me, it can be removed.
Good morning! Sun shiney here but another chance of rain this evening. Certainly hope it does rain....,I like it!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR CAPT FATHER GENE!!!! MAKE SURE THAT WANDA TREATS YOU RIGHT!
I love all the first day of school pictures folks are posting on fb. One friends daughter is starting kinder. She is holding up a dated sign that says she wants to be an ice cream lady when she grows up. What a cute idea. I hope she holds up a sign every year.

Well, the weather in So Cal, which has been kind of moderate, is going into another heat spell.
My car is back on the road now. It cost a few bucks, and it was running fine, but then I made the mistake of pulling into a station to fill up. As soon as I pulled out of the station and came to a stoplight, I noticed the engine light had come on! Think I'd better take it to a place with an engine analyzer ... soon.
It still runs well, but that light nags at the mind the whole time.
Not many birds on the nests just now, are there?
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Hi,
Hope the room is drying out nicely, Sandi.
Enjoying the first day of school pictures, too.
Hunter disappeared when I wasn't looking this morning, and I went out and looked down the street. He was at the bus stop looking very comfortable with the other kids. I do need to remind him to say good-bye when he leaves.
He has decided that he does not want his mom to put out his clothes. He wants to make his own choices. He is very concerned with being cool.
Hi Jim,
Hope there are no serious car problems for you.
Hey guess What
The still cam is not all black anymore....not always the great image but sometimes real clear...
Nice and Green and Luch !!
am I dreaming??
Hello from work
NICE AND GREEN AND LUSH
NOT LUCH
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE STILL CAM
I sort of signed up to it accidentaly, but I was thinking today that this IS August, and Steve had mentioned august....and almost over.....and how wet the ground might be and so on with all that runs through your mind in one or two seconds.
Good morning my friends ♥
Margy, I think that black, green and blue all mean the same thing on the
still cam - Cam is down! Best that we
keep checking, though - Hopefully Steve will alert us on the blog if there is action going on at the Sycamore Palace..
Beautiful day this first day of school
Thoughts of Candy, Dana and Sandi - Then I think of Shirley, the freebird! ♥
I have 3 ggk in school and a big senior in High School. Dominick is the last HS grad for the grand kids. I have always prayed selfishly to be able to attend his graduation.
Also have Freshman at UM and gd in her 3rd year of college. SO the 1st day of school this year has lots of meaning for me!
It is good to be home - I can tell my birds and squirrels missed us. Our 2 cats were well taken care of but last night they both snuggled up against me so tightly that I couldn't move to change my position. lol
Lunch time here! BBL
Reading back before I have lunch--------
Ho9da what a blessing you were for your friend. Just to listen was the best thing for her. I pray her life will continue with God looking over her.
Shirley, sounds like Hunter is becoming his own little man. My 5th grade gd is
the same way nowadays! I do hope he says good bye so you can at least be sure his shoes are tied! lol
Jim, 1st check out your gas cap - that can do that to the engine light.
It happened to me before.
Happy Happy Birthday Capt Gene
Wishing you a fun filled day and a year ahead full of happiness, good health & lots of love
Concerts- The Bruce Springsteen one up in Philly - GS works summers at Merry Weather Post and so a group of them were
sent up to assist with Crowd Control!
What a way to see a concert! All went well
Last Sat night we drove to Salisbury on RT 50 to go to dinner - Hubby's brother coming from Easton never made it - had to turn around and go back due to the flooding. The storm later that night was sooooooooo wicked! Flash after flash of lightening and the loudest thunder ever. I was thinking of all the animals under the beds.
I had a show everyday on one of the bushes down home - 20-30 large butterflies every day. The large yellow with black tips and then the large black - I wish I knew their names as I am sure most of you do.
Well, did I say I was going to get lunch
I best do that! S-I-L, Kris' hubby has
a birthday and we may drive up to
Big Pool! All 5 ggk will be there!

Happy Birthday Captain Gene Oh and I do indeed wish you another 39 happy healthy years. Soar on!!!
Well, Jo, I came downstairs to find him having ice cream for breakfast. Could be worse, but he got it all over his white shirt. I do not know if he would have changed the shirt if I had not told him to.
He still has some growing up to do.
Good afternoon all my eagle budlets.
Shew, what a weekend! I am wore slam out. Friday night was the Beaver-Graham game (we lost). Saturday we drove to Weston to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum for a 2-1/2 hour tour which was absolutely awesome. Then on to Stonewall Resort for an absolutely gorgeous wedding. Yesterday on the way home we stopped at New River Gorge Bridge and walked to the end of the lookout. I am much too old for that. Last night we went to a Jake Owen and Eric Church concert. Awesome weekend. I have a cousin visiting who was 30 years old before she knew this side of her family. We are so much alike. I love her lots!
This coming weekend, I am going with Andrew, Kelsey and Kelsey's parents to Columbus for a couple of days to celebrate Kelsey's birthday. I love my life.
well for some wonky reason it seems the patterno of shadows is changing at the still cam...so I guess I am just seeing things...
Happy and Hopeful Wishes for all amongst us with starting back to school today
sorry to post news that was incorrect about the cam
I don't think you are seeing things Magpie. My camera is updating for sure and there is a lot more greenery than when the cam went down.
I thought many here might like this info.
UPDATE..2PM Eastern .>>GOOD NEWS FROM THE PETITION SITE...Norfolk City Councilman Tommy Smigiel came with his family to sign the petition and there are lots of signatures now. Photos to come later!! The city may think they have this wrapped up but we will go down fighting!!

Eagle Watcher Good work, Team Eagle! Of course it would be better to not have it come to that point, but if a lawyer is needed please count me in for contributions. What better way to spend retirement income than in support of the environment and NBG, one of the shockingly few green places of any size left in this area.

Jeanne Adams What part "wild" in "wildlife" do they not get? Are they going to have to eventually deforest a 10 mile swath around the airport? Pave it over? Set up machine guns? Electrify the pavement? Are they going to put up ultralights and small planes to shoot down and kill the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of birds migrating every fall and spring along the Atlantic Flyway? The birds have been doing this for many many millions of years. We have been on this planet for only a fraction of that time. The birds are going to keep on coming and these dislocated-from-their-planet humans are going to keep on killing, if they are not stopped. They have placed both feet out onto a very slippery slope and now their fragile little political egos are involved as well. We may well not be able to stop these "humans," but for sure THEY cannot stop the birds (and other wildlife) despite all the killing at the bottom of this very slippery slope they have started down. What are they thinking? Are they thinking? There are studies already afloat out there using special patterns of blinking lights on the wings of planes to get the attention of birds so they can evade the planes. These have been tested and they work. But instead of using American-inventiveness, they are using American-kill-power, just to show mother nature who is "boss." Surprise, surprise. Going mano-a-mano with mother nature is a guaranteed loser.
Elizabeth Building near long-standing bird migratory routes and in areas filled with both fresh and saltwater sources are worldwide guarantees for more bird strikes. Seagulls, pelicans, egrets, and cranes are large birds that are often in these habitats. So are eagles, however, the NBG eagles have been involved in only 2 incidents in over 10 years. By picking NBG as their territory, the eagles will fight off intruders who want to settle. Without the resident eagles, NBG will likely become eagle condos. The bird strike issues will likely increase. Actually, if you look at patterns of bird strikes flocks of smaller birds like sparrows and starlings potentially more of a proplem since they can get into all of the engines in a short amount of time and cause havoc
Elizabeth I can not believe that those involved in building Norfolk Airport were not advised of these facts by their land scouts. The airport must have known what the statistics were before they built. By the Norfolk Airport's complaint about the NBG eagles to the federal agencies, it seems that they are shifting the blame for a situation they most likely knew would occur.
Geesh Sharon just 8 more hours and you could be here You must go back for Christmas and then swing a little further west. The eagles are supposed to be here by then :-)
Just ran an errand to the Dallas Cowboy Stadium to go to the pro shop. Had never been there before. lol Went to buy Jacob a trash can for his Cowboy bedroom. His birthday is the 8th. Successful trip!
Sharon and Margy -
I SEE OUR NEST
EMPTY BUT IT LOOKS SO GOOD
Well now the lines are interfering but
I still can see that it is there in that Sycamore Tree
I just checked out the still cam, too. Most of the time it looks like tapestry but sometimes can see the nest. Now, if only an eagle would land!!!!♥
Glo, thank you so much for the NBG update. It sounds promising!
Beautiful still pic of the nest right now. The sun and shadows are so pretty. Whoops, now it is blurry! Here eagle, eagele, eagle!
Glo, love your KKapture site! I get so lost on FB...start off one place, then clicking on pictures and I'm far away from where I started before I have to start all over again. Am I the only one who is navigationally challenged and especially so on FB? LOL!
JO, it's so nice to have you home!
Lori - your music followed me to OC - & it stayed with me all week at the house and followed me back home
Needless to say - I was right there with you, gal!
Heading up the road to see more family!
