WE SPLIT
BBL Late breakfast! ♥
Now that's a plan made in Heaven, Jo.....your dear friend taking care of getting your baskets for you....
Momsters Rock !!!
and that includes YOU Jo, and CarolAnne for making that Smilebox, and all our Momsters here, there, and everywhere, HEY that includes the Dadsters too !!
my nephew who livesin California arrived around 0100, said he will try to keep his California time while here, bless his heart, he is still sleeping.....
he was asked by the car rental agent, at Reagan International Airport in Washington DC, who must have had a difficult event of some some sort, if he , the agent, could finish his cigarette and would be right with him, Sure, nephew says...
when nephew got his rental car, it had been upgraded from a little passenger car to a nice roomy SUV, a Jeep Liberty...sometimes that's just the way what goes around, comes around xoxo
Liv
Loving to see Sissy here, and your kind and compassionate, and wise words...bet you and God had a nice little talk, Sissy...

Lori: I think socks and sandals look just great !! I am a little partial to that idea, though....
Hope you found some shoes you like
God Bless our Wanda Family...which includes all the names included here from others, and more....
Wanda's late night post was uplifting, yet touching and sad...and loving....as usual.
(( Comforting Hugs ))
Brewing some fresh coffee, and going to do some reading...
the kind that keeps me centered...
Best Wishes for a Great Day, and
T-Bird: Go Skins..I know YOU are ready for some foorball

Have a great Canadian day, Lolly and Jack
You Also, Hoda !!!
I just lit another candle for Brantley's family
http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=EM
Hard to concentrate on anything but the Wright Family today. Love and prayers flowing their way from all across this nation and beyond our borders. Here's hoping they all feel the love !
Including you all in my thoughts and prayers today. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Just wanted to let everyone know that Mr Frog has been delivered safely to my home. He is still on the trailer till we get some yard renovations done and the help to get him off the trailer. Will keep you posted as we do the necessary things to make his new home comfy!!
At 3 pm, I will be driving to work. Will be in silence while I say my prayers for Brantley, Wanda, Gene, Robbie, Rachel, Jayden, Karla, Donnie,Denise, GG,all of us here, and all the family that the names didn't come to my brain! I for one know that it so does not become any eaier even after the laying to rest.
Thanks for the info on Mr Frog
When he is off loaded to his resting place - then we can PARTY!
Ring around the frog !
Blessed Sunday for Everyone. Is the day for prayer and all day I'm praying for all the Wright family, especially Rachael and Robbie ---sending prayers to GG this afternoon, too.
Sissy, I love what you told us about your Father's message and JudyE, your prayer about little angels being loaned to us was special.
I hope Angel Brantley has bonded with Nurse Lynn. Love and prayers to all at this difficult time.♥♥♥♥♥
Ten years in November since Dad has been gone. Finally I can dwell on the good thoughts including no more pain for him, plus all my happy memories.
Hugs to all who have suffered a loss.
Hooray for Mr.Frog!!! Can't wait to see him. Thx for update, Jewels.☺
Read where Judy E, you mentioned Hospice couseling, I know we have it here in WV, as Christie is going and I am making an appt as well. She says it has helped her. She and I both have been having a real hard time and thought it was a good idea to speak to a grief coubnselor.
I still sleep with my mom's pillow on my bed.
GG is a wise woman.I am glad for her decision.
Yes, we will have a nice party, ring around the frog.
I am sure that Mom has bonded with Brantley. I thinks she was the first to greet him, so that he knew she was part of the Momster Family and he was not alone.
Home for lunch put the candle link back on facebook being today he is being laid to rest here it is again just in case you misplaced it like I did awhile back Candle for a Brantley
now to go read 35 comments
Retreating into some quiet time here very soon...
Jewels, thank you for the Mr. Frog updates, and for your thoughtful and heartfelt words....
I hope work goes well and you have that call or two or a dozen, that helps you realize that you can and DO make a positive difference in an emergency....the voice of calm and comfort, that is your strong suit
NO chills today but I did that Advil before I went to work today just in case
SHIRLEY speaking of squirrels I almost rearend a car today who stopped short to stop for a squirrel missed them by a inch if that the lady yells out the window and it would have been my fault if I would have hit her silly lady
I have my alarm set on my watch for 3 I shall join in for our dear friend WANDA and her family who is suffering so this day and for a while to come
SIS I hope you have better luck with your new three
SIS I use to love it when my cats did that tooo I was told that they were sort of like drinking milk that is what they do when they nurse on their mom teets so its must be confronting suppose to stimulate the moms milk is what I have been told
Offering Encircling Prayers and Caring thoughts to all Brantley's devoted and grieving family....
Take care, everyone...
Love yourselves;
I sure do
Emphasis on I sure do
xox God Bless Us, Every One
xoxox
OOPS I see JO already posted the candle link OH sorry but it can't hurt to duplicate it I'm sure
So glad FROG got home JEWELS and you are placing him in a nice spot when the yard is readyyou should put one of your moms favorite flower or plants there also
JEWEL I held my moms house dress for a long time it smelt of her I had it in a zip lock bag along with a sweater of my dads and moms Now they are in the drawer they have lost their smell It does get better with time you will see It just takes time.
and so glad HOSPICE is helping you they are a great organization I am leaving one third of my walmart insurance to them when I die
Well need to get ready to head back to work and make dough
It is time for me to have quiet time now
I'll return later today! ♥
Judy, I went to 6 grief counseling group meetings that Hospice put off. They really helped me. Everything you can do helps, no matter how small or big.
t-bird: i have no idea...why cats make biscuits....i like to think its an affection thing...but they are cats...so who knows.
it is 2 pm my time, therefore 3 p.m. east coast time. sending light, love, reiki, and healing, comfort and blessings to wanda and family.............

PRAYERS said for WANDA and family.
We are back from our drive. It was very successful....we saw lots of moosies!!! Or is it meese? lol
Have posted pictures on fb have not tried again here on a blog.
Got home and could not get into the trailer, the lock broke!! So, for about 45 minutes we were trying to get in. Finally we wiggled the key in. Whew....!! Saw more $$ rolling away! We will not lock the dead bolt again while we are gone.
Thinking of Wanda, Gene and family!♥
Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Praying for the Wright family. Was some one going to feed them after the funeral. I wish I lived closer. I have felt such a need to hug Wanda and Gene!
Magpie, thanks for the kind words. I must make the effort to stop in more often! I love us!!
Have been praying for and thinking of Wanda & Gene, Karla & Donny, Rachel & Robbie, Denise, GG and all members of the extended Wright family today as they try to come to terms with the reality of this sudden and unimaginable loss of Baby Brantley.
May you be sustained and comforted by our Lord during this terrible time in your lives and may you feel our love and deep sadness as we try in some small way to be here for you.
xoxo
♥ can not get to the new posts area...
At Lakeside Park earlier today I was there with the Dragon Boat Team. I took pictures of the flower areas as they are on their last legs...I wanted my picture taken with them and asked a couple I saw if they would do so...She is from Tel Aviv Israel and he is from England...in saying thank you we all extended a hand of friendship and hugged...Peace is possible.
Great story Hoda! Yes peace is possible!
It is now the dusk of the day. Quiet time begins. Praying that all is well
with all of you I'll return later this evening. ♥
This is a recipe I will do this week:
The Naturalist’s Herb & Spice Cough Syrup
(kid-safe!)
Ingredients:
Honey (demulcent)
Raisins (expectorant)
Onion, Garlic, Lemon (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial)
Thyme, Sage (expectorant, antimicrobial)
Ginger (cough suppressant, anti-inflammatory)
Cloves, Allspice, Cinnamon, Cayenne (pain killer, improve circulation, antimicrobial)
Chamomile (relaxation/sleep aid)
Wild Rose hips (vitamin C)
Part1:
1 Onion - Grate
1 head of Garlic - Rasp/finely mince
1-2 Lemons - Juice and chop
Large handfuls of fresh Thyme & Sage - Finely mince
2 tbsp Ginger Powder (or more if fresh)
2 tsp each; Cloves, Allspice, Cinnamon, Cayenne
Add all the above ingredients together and mash/muddle/pound together with a wooden spoon until it is thoroughly mashed together, using a bit of water or lemon juice if needed.
Then add:
½ C. Dried Chamomile Flowers
½ C. Dried Wild Rose Hips (do not mash if dried whole)
Pour 4 C. boiling water over mixture and gently mix, and let steep overnight, or for 2-3 hours on the lowest stove top burner setting. You do NOT want to cook/simmer/boil this mixture in order to retain more of the medicinal properties.
Part 2:
1 C. Raisins – simmer with enough water to cover raisins until raisins are soft and the water is absorbed, puree this mixture (add a bit more water if required) and set aside.
Part 3:
Strain the mixture from part 1. I used cheese cloth so I could squeeze out every last drop of goodness.
Add the pureed raisin mixture from part 2.
Freeze mixture in ice cube trays (I used Baby Food freezer trays). There will still be solids that can settle to the bottom, so mix while pouring your portions out so that it includes all ingredients.
Part 4:
Add equal parts of the finished mixture and honey together, this will make a syrup consistency. Store in the fridge, it should last a week. This was quite a bit of work, and I wouldn’t want to go through this every time I needed a batch – that is why I chose to freeze the mixture in portions. Every time I need some medicine, I can just pop a frozen cube out, thaw, mix with honey, and store in the fridge for the week!
Results:
I did not hear my daughter (18 mo old) cough even once last night, she loved the taste, she went to bed without a fuss, and slept through the night! I would call it a success!!!
*Note, this medicine is NOT intended for children under 1 year of age.
It was the perfect kind of an afternoon,
the skies were friendly,
the breezes gentle,
leaves falling and birds just plain old enjoying life;
the sights and sounds of nature, indescribable....
and now it is the dusk of a deep-thought kind of day.
Holding Wanda and Gene and all the family in my heart ♥
and all of you, my friends, as well.
(( Hugs to All ))
And US loves YOU, Sissy...♥
hope the rest of your wildlifing, camping adventure went wonderfully.
Visit when you can....
it's always a pleasure, but I feel you from this tippy tip of West Virginia to your tippy tip of West Virginia ♥
Have had a lazy afternoon after our drive this morning. I actually took a nap and Jack is napping now.
We did go in to town and walk the main street, but it was nothing special. Bought some post cards and my calendar for 2013. Always like to buy a calendar on a trip.
Oh boy, postcards, Lolly ☺
Sounds like you two are having a great time! WOOF about having to struggle with that lock! I have some things like that which are totally aggravating and irritating !!!
so long for now, precious pals...
going from one roost to the other,
am really enjoying that my nephew is in town for a few days, he will be busy, but we'll still have some time together.
He is a marine helicopter pilot and instructor in Monterey, California....
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxox ♥
Time for bed. Thinking of Wanda and Gene and their family after what was surely a very difficult day.
Popping in to say hello, been a very busy weekend!
Thoughts and prayers today for Wanda and family :(

OOPS I forgot to add her last name
It was a beautiful day in Berryville, Va. for Baby Brantley's funeral.
Hard to believe that last Friday, I was holding him and kissing him and he was laughing and giggling at me...
It was a very precious service, the words were so very fitting.
There were many people there (maybe a couple hundred) and many beautiful flowers. Momster's flowere was the large planter with the trailing ivy and a big blue bow.
We all went to the Fire dept. (where all my family works) for a wonderful luncheon, which was donated by different vendors and restraunts from Berryville. No cost to Rachael and Robbie.
I have posted some "not so good photos" on my blog 'WANDA'S WISHES'
Very tired...need some sleep...more on the funeral, tomorrow.
Good Night...love and prayers and love for all♥
Angie, Carl and Jordyn went to the pier to eat and see the aquarium and they ended up running in to Jordyn teacher there She is in a bad that plays there She called Jordyn up to the stage and told everyone in the audience to say hello to Jordyn and announced that Jordyn is the superstar for all week was so cute Angie put a video on facebook and pictures OK now its time for bed
Get some good rest Wanda I was sort of hoping you would stop in and post tonight but knew you all must be emotionally and physically exhausted. There just isn't any more to say. We are all so saddened with all of you.
God Bless Us, Every One...
A Peaceful ending to this difficult day, reading Wanda's post...
may each day bring more comfort than the one before....
(( Hugs Forever ))
Blessings to you and your family WANDA...
Blessings to all
Good Night My Friends

Goodnight.
PRAYERS♥
Got mesmerized by Nat'l. Geo.5 part story by Dr. Bob Ballard underseas exploration. Of course before that Redskins lost chance to win by one dummy's foul & penalty. Hope that one was wearing a parachute on way home!
I must explore the Zoo site!!
Love and prayers for Wanda & Gene's family ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Baby Panda!!!! Couldn't hardly see any movement, but heard the squawks!
Nighty-night
here at work till 4 am again. My relief got 4 hrs off due to having worked the air show Sunday. Had a test to take but the supervisor on shift is having me do police. Only way I will get to take this test is to come in early or stay over!! UGH!
Wanda so glad you stopped in, I hope you rest well. I am glad that things went as well as they could have for you and the family. Prayers still going out.
A baby Panda!!! Yea!!
Good night to all that went Night night!
Very cool on the panda
Thinking of litle angel Brantley
Having a great time with family
Love you all
Dear Carolyn Smith,
As panda cam watchers may have noticed: from Mei's behavior and the sounds we're hearing, we have a giant panda cub!
As far as we can tell, the cub was born at about 10:46 p.m. on September 16. According to chief veterinarian Suzan Murray:
“Mei Xiang is behaving exactly the same way she did when Tai Shan was born. She is cradling her cub closely , and she looks so tired, but every time she tries to lay down, the cub squawks and she sits right up and cradles the cub more closely. She is the poster child for a perfect panda mom.”
We believe there is only one cub. If the cub is to have a twin, we should know by sunrise.
For now, the only way animal care staff will monitor the cub is using the web cams. Our goal is for Mei Xiang to raise this cub naturally. With Tai Shan, it wasn’t until he was about two weeks old that Mei walked away from him briefly and our veterinary team was able to give him a brief well-cub exam.
Keep your eyes on the panda cam and on our website and social media networks
Oh Jewels, what great news that is!! We have baby at NZ!! That is so great. I was getting afraid we were gonna lose Mei Xiang soon if she didn't have a baby.
Wanda, you all have been in our thoughts and prayers for days now. I am glad the service went well.
Up in the middle of the night, been tossing and turning for over an hour so I just got up and started work. I will check back with y'all later. Hope everyone has a good day today.
I am so thrilled that we have a baby panda.
Boy, that baby panda sure makes alot of noise. It has been so long since we had a cub my dogs aren't used to the sound anymore and Hubert is looking all over for it!! LOL! Normally they are used to hearing eagles call and pandas cry!!
Good Monday morning Shar, Bev, and all my eagle friends.
Cloudy day on tap here in Bethany. I will be doing state testing with individual kids all week - boring!
Wanda, prayers continue for your family.
Have a good day all.
Good morning everyone.
Professional day for me. I wish I wasn't going to be sitting in meetings all day hearing about "testing results". Not really interested!
Thanks Bev for the news of a baby Panda at the National Zoo. That was good news to wake up to for sure!
I see Jewels posted it here. I saw Bev's post on FB. Thanks for the news Jewels!
good morning to one and to all. rainy here....tv says crashes are everywhere. yuck. love the rain, don't love the fact that people forget to slow down.
it was a good weekend around here. we lost all 3 games in bowling, again...but that's typical for us. i'm still adjusting to that heavier ball. by the end of the 3rd game i had to just use the lighter ball, i could feel the strain in my forearm.
had a nice dinner last night; had the usual, the neighbor came over, our oldest (who bowls with us), our pal russell and his daughter....brisket, mashed potatoes, and salad with a coconut cake for dessert. publix (grocery store) makes dandy cakes. i think about my mom who baked a cake a week for dad....NICE cakes too, from scratch. completely from scratch, always! and i feel pathetic that i buy them, but i also work work work.....so something's gotta give. i will say it was tasty without the made from scratch fuss!
rolling into another week my friends ... i hope everyone has a safe/wonderful day. light, love, hugs, and smiles....
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS
Have the panda cam on she is on her back with her 4feet in the air sort of I think that is the baby on her belly nice and quite right now
OH YES SIS mom and her cakes from scratch and remember she didn't even need a recipe card or measure anything and they were always perfect especially the butter cream one YUMMY
Bear News: Yesterday was the first anniversary of Hope's death--from the North American Bear Center.
Bear Center
Good Morning Eagle Pals....
A perfect West Virginia morning, the kind Lynn would be raving about....
even though the Redskins lost !!!
I hope it is or WILL be this kind of morning in all our Eagle Corners...
so, Best Wishes for a Beauteous Day;
that's a word I borrow from Shirley, "Beauteous" because it not only fits the description, but reminds me of her too :)
Hi Cyclone :)
Been thinking about you...
Good morning, Margy. You are so sweet.
Cyclone. Such an interesting moniker. I have a ways to go before I really earn that title in bowling, though.
Oh, wow, a baby panda!Must check that out.
GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS...
We are getting ready to go into the church and get a head-start on Soup Kitchen dinner. We are having Chicken Rice Soup and Chicken Salad Sandwiches...getting to be soup weather:) It takes a long time to make the chicken salad...have to let the chicken cool thoroughly before it ground. So we will cook the chicken today and finish the rest tomorrow.
While the chicken is cooking, I have some donated clothes to hang up or fold. This will be very theraputic for Gene and I.
GG did just fine yesterday, without me...she didn't even take her 'extra' pain pill!
Again, THANK YOU ALL for your sweet words of encouragement and love and the many prayers truly helped us get through a very difficult day. I will comment more on yesterday, later...too painful right now...need to let my tear ducts rest!
Have a great day...I love you all, so much!♥
Have a good day at the Soup Kitchen, Wanda and Gene. Love you.
Good morning.
How nice to have a baby panda. Congratulations to mom and NZ!
Yes, Shirley, I wondered if anyone else had checked the bear cam. Yesterday was the anniversary of Hope's death. Good news is that no research bears were killed this year. Lily and two other adult females are pregnant and denned.
The potted plant owl has two eggs.
Pete's Pond has a dark screen. Seems from the chat that some animal has died at or near the pond.
Wanda, have a good head start on the soup kitchen.
Good morning, Judie.
Tried to hook up with the Panda cam, but no luck. I am not sure if I have clicked all the right keys, but expect there is an overload at the moment anyway.
I saw something about Pete's Pond being down. Did not see the bit about some animal dying. I am sure that there would be some unpleasant stuff happening there from time to time.
I saw some zebras there, but might have been recorded. Not sure.
I saw some zebras there, but might have been recorded. Not sure.
Pardon, double posted.
Shirley, you and I...we take the prize on double postings...not sure anyone has offered up a prize yet, maybe some DoubleMint Gum
Good to see you Professor Judie...
you and that cat avatar, makes for a joyful day... !!
Was hoping and now grateful to know that GG had a good afternoon....Wanda surely knows how to plan for those things...
and now Soup Kitchen and Clothes Closet for our Benevolent Mr and Mrs Fellowship....
I have some things to take in,hope I can be there at the right time..hmmmm, I might have to go have Soup at the Kitchen Tuesday !!!
just had dozens, literally, of starlings and grackles...in the back yard...then hundreds more flew over and they all "up and went."
But they are flying North...that is the wrong way to fly !!!
guess they are practicing
um, I'm trying to remember something....
oh, many robins seem to have left, but I have seen some of the biggest here in the last few days, their orange colors are a little pale, so they might be youngsters, but, HUGE
back to the checkbook with the machete....
be back around in a little while
Pa Pix Cam
Just saw a beautiful buck here.
Magpie, if you click on the link below it should open the panda cam in your Windows Media Player. It asks me if I am sure I want to open this link and I tell it yes.
Panda Cam
National Zoo has an iPhone app for $1.99 and you can watch the cam on the iPhone. I am so excited!
Yay!! Got the Panda Cam. Thanks, Sharon.
She looks very tired.
Pinguins
Feeding now.
Sorry, that's "penguins."
Good morning everyone. Back from grocery and getting air in the tires. Sending love and prayers for a good day for all . glad to read of a baby panda. That is a wonderful way to pass some really good time indeed.
Good morning! Have skipped a lot of the blog. In a hurry as we are heading to the ice fields today.
Great news about the new panda!
Have a great day!
Prayers, Wanda, for comfort and healing.♥
Good morning my eagle peeps.
(((HUGS))) love and prayers!!
Happy Cub Morning! Whoo Hoo! My panda cub watching goes way back to when Tai was born and I am now a very happy camper about this new cub of Mei's! Two of our Momsters Janet and Iris witnessed on the cam the birth - well, rather they heard it squeal.
From the News
National Zoo Newsletter
Thanks for all the links to the cams to fill in our time until our Real Cam comes along! The NCTC money comes in the month of Oct! I am just assuming there is NOT an Open House again this year. <:(

Still reading OH Home for lunch I have a thermonter in my mouth I do feel warm so I thought wouldn't hurt to check
Took some advil when I got home And yep it says 102 so I am taking it again just in case LOL maybe was wrong the first time Jordyn and the runs and throwing up yesterday and slept most of the day for two days but so far me just chills and seems like a fever
My cam keeps stopping at only a few min odd huh it says 15min but it never goes that long three time oH they are zoom in on her now
OK its official two times and it say 102 OK now I know why I was getting chills but no other symptoms my eyes hurt but not like a sinus thing just the temp sort of ache in them I would love to call in to work Me I have never called in at all I don't count the days I was out with my workman comp surgery as calling in though I will let my boss know I am running a 102 and let them decide we are suppose to tell them if we are sick but I don't work around fresh food so it should be ok I hope don't want to be punished for being sick and yes they do unexcused absences even with a dr note they says it unexcused I wonder about that I tell the ones that have a dr note to call HO and complain don't know what ever can out of it Ok aback to work enough of me complaining today I guess
my delete misspelled could a fever make you extremely thirsty tooo ???? see we need Lynn again ;o(
and I see cam is still stuck at 9-15 7:17 and we are doing good on the blog not blowing it up Steve will be proud of us or SHOCKED
Yes JudyE, a fever can make you extremely thirsty.
Here is a link to Daniel's panda cams. It has 5 cams, 2 from National Zoo, one from San Diego, one from Atlanta and one from Memphis Zoos. They auto-refresh so you don't have to restart the cams.
Daniel's Panda Cams
Judy E,
A fever makes you dehydrated. So up your intake on fluids, preferably Water and not soda. Also with carrying a fever, whatever bug you have, that is when you are contagious. SO anytime you have a fever, that is when you are supposed to stay home.
Take ibuprofin and if that does not seem to help bring fever down, alternate ibuprofin and tylenol.
Hope that helps, and yes that is A Mom (Lynn) rule!!!!
Was just deleting old emails (yes I am a hoarder of emails). Had one from Lynn in January on the anniversary of Donna's death. I love and miss them both so very much!
Shar, me too. I have many un opened forwards from Mom. I opened one last night from 2010!!! It was a touching forward and yes I even replied, knowing that she won't get it. :( sniff sniff
Oh Jewels, she got it! :)
Mei Xiang has a really squeally cub!
Sure hope so!!!! I guess, in a way, it was kinda like something telling me to not open all emails, so I have some to open later when I need to most.
Good afternoon...I am concerned about the fever JUDYE. I like CAROLYN'S summing up of what you must do...102 with ibuprophen is it even higher then?
Happy about the Panda and happy to see JUDIE here.
WANDA good luck with the soup kitchen...prayers for you and your family are ongoing.
LOLLY I know exactly where you are going and the stunning scenary you two will see. Please post pictures...I miss it and your trip is showing me that now...lovely part of the world Southern Alberta...and Jasper area.
Taking up some more of the herb garden for freezing and drying...it is time...also soon I will put away summer clothes and here we come to autumn...I wore socks yesterday!!! LOL!!! it was too cold for my tootsies!!!

Good Afternoon - Hubby and I are getting ready to take a trip down to dr to get our flu shots - we do get them every year.
I have not accomplished anything spectacular today. But that is ok!
I'll touch base when we get home and after we eat.
Take care - love you all ♥
HOME from work and fever is gone it broke at work I let my boss know that I was running a temp and it had broke Odd I don't feel sick in no way shape or form He said your fighting off some kind of infection no duh didn't say stay go home so I didn't go Still don't know why Jordyn had the bug with fever but the runs and throwing up maybe its the same but not affecting me that way Must play it by ear I guess My cam is timing out every 5 min on the panda I love the squeaky noises quite right now I love how the camera guys zooms in still haven't seen the little guy yet have any of you????
I am getting ready for dinner. Flu shot was a snap - did not feel it. Hope it keeps me well.
Great night for TV, Judy !
Bones at 8:00
Major Crimes at 9:00
Perception at 10:00
See everyone later this evening ♥
JO thanks for the heads up I love Bones and its new tooo !!
Yes, usually, JudyE, you have to be the one to decide to go home...
if they tell you, sometimes it can make a difference with your leave...like, do you have to use yours ??
If you are not fit for duty, they can send you home for a lot of reasons...we sometimes have to deal with that at my workplace...
but if you are contagious, like Professor Judie says....you need to stay home and keep those germs all to yourself..
and remember, GERMS HATE REST !!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it !
Good Afternoon Wonderful Eagle Pals
xoxo
I have a folder of Lynn emails...so I know what you are talking about....
♥ Missing and Loving our Lynn, forever ♥
And Loving her daughters all the time too ♥♥
Had me a little visit with the Captain and First Mate at the Church.....
yummmm did it smell good in there....
both looked beautiful and handsome as ever....
Wanda had on a beateous Red Blouse, said "she thought it was Friday." LOL
Aaaarg:
BEAUTEOUS
that's a difficult word to type !!
I'm getting a few tomatoes yet at Magpie's Roost...won't be for much longer, it's been a good tomato-sandwich eating season
Jewels:
I have a forget-me-not plant in a pot for you, for Mr. Frog... I have to baby it for a few days and see if it takes the transplant...
Sharon, I have not forgotten about you, but I am very late in sending you some seeds....
I am so sorry about that....
Sharon...that I have been late in doing this
JudyE
when you retire, I bet you WILL be a rip-roaring volunteer somewhere in your home territory !!!
You have what it takes, as do many amongst us here....
How about that Nilla and Iris witnessing the Panda squealing !
And thanks for all the Panda links, I can't get to them right now but I will.....
Shirley:
Sorry about Flash's ailments and discomfort, wow, four bottles of pills...
some of us can relate to arthritis and hip pain, but I sure wish Flash did not have to deal with it
(( Hugs for Flash, and for you also !! ))
Rats, I have to dress for court Tuesday...and it's also supposed to rain, that is often, rain and court dates....sigh....but think we DO need the rain
OK That's all the running up of the posts I am going to do...
Hoping that today was an okay day for all of us, and if not, that Tuesday will be GREAT and will more than make up for it !!
ttfn xoxoxox ♥ ☺
Good evening everyone! Just kinda glancing over the blog a bit. Getting ready to go help a friend celebrate her recovery.
I also have some of Lynn's emails. I hear her words of wisdom in my head all the time and I guess I will never,EVER see Tom Selleck without thinking of her.
Hope Wanda and Gene had a good day giving it away like they always do. There is nothing better to get us out of our own heads that paying it forward to someone in need. Love and hugs!!!
Catch y'all later. I have been up since 3:30 this morning, so as soon as I get home I am hitting the sack. That panda baby sure did give us something to smile about today didn't it? God knew we needed something good and positive and what better than a panda cubbie!
I love us!! See you in the morning light my friends!!
I don't see turkeys at Snowman Cam, but I see something that looks like black squirrels !
I did see about 15-20 wild turkeys today around here
Hi Sissy, sleep tight...and sweetly...
xoxo
okay 'bye
MARGY we have a poster at both our time clocks If you are ill or sick please let a salaried member of management know they will decided if you should continue your shift
and especially if you work in the food area in parentheses
So I did and I do work in the food area but was told it was ok if I felt like working to continue I don't work with fresh food of deli just dry goods and I feel ok except for the fever and you don't get sick pay for the first day you miss only the second and continuous days and I can't afford to take the time off with vaca coming up I sold my stock last night this way I don't have to use a credit card like I have in the past
and they do hold it against you if you call in sick or go home sick and if you have a dr note they still say it unexcused absent after so may unexcused absents they can fire you
OH MY is that baby on noise little one but I love it I love the site that Sharon posted doesn't stop at all oh they are zoom in and I see mom looks like she is licking him or her
Odd I was sitting on rocker and was dozing off and on so I got up and went to couch and guess what can't fall asleep odd huh
Our fine Dr is way behind in points someone has over 30T so lets get all we know to vote
Dr Sharpe vote for him Please
There certainly are some unusual policies in place at the many different work places...I am county government so many things are pre-determined....
bottom line tonight, hope you feel better altogether JudyE....
I'm having calcium and potassium for a late dinner...
yogurt and bananas :)
I'm headed for an early bedtime, pretend retirement is nearly over
I'd like to say this or that to everyone, on the news and information you all bring to us, but I think I would start typing gibberish and take up waaaaay to much space.
Thinking ever yet and always of Wanda, Gene, and all the family with (( HUGS )) also
Prayers for wellness, and Sweet Sleep....
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxox
PS Stinkbugs are out in full force at the Big House, not so at the Little Roost...and a few are sneaking into my car overnight

A very good post from STEVE about his experiences in Delhi today. On FB.
Very good yoga class and it is all rather autumn like.
Glad you have had the flu shot JO and I will too when I hear that they are giving them...usually in October sometiemd.
JUDYE I wish you healing and good health...
No posts from LOLLY I see. I was hoping she would show the Icefields and tell us if she saw any animals today...???
Hi all! We had a long day...a great day. Going to fb to download pics. It may take a while. We drove up to the glacier stopping a few times. Did the hike to the glacier, decided not to ride out as we have done that before.
On the way back we saw 3 big horn ewes. They were running along beside the rode and then crossed. I did get a couple of pictures.
Back at home late after stopping at the grocery store for a few things and then grilled some steaks. Weather is so nice we ate outside even though it was starting to get dark.
I am exhausted! lol
lol Hoda....I was right behind you in posting.
I kept my eyes to the sky. Did see one eagle nest, but it really looks like it is abandoned as it is in bad shape. Saw two birds..I think they were Groshawks. I will continue to look!
So Happy you posted LOLLY...I will go to FB to see the pictures. Blessings to you and JACK. It should be warmer there tonight...43Degrees?
Well I had a good evening of interesting and entertaining programs.
Now it is that time of day to close down. Dental tomorrow for very small cavity.
Good Night Everyone
God Bless You and Keep You Safe From All Harm
I love us ♥
Miss you Lynn ♥
Hoda, looks like I am not going to post pictures right now. I downloaded them to the laptop, but the wifi is really slow right now and can not upload pics.
Evening, all!
Back from Great Wolf Lodge, had a great time with my kids and gkids...made it home in 3 hours, great trip back up the road. Can't wait to have them at Paradise this weekend! 3 day work week...can't remember last time that happened either!
Mr Nick was happy to have me home!
I am bushed!
SED, love and hugs to all ♥
I look forward to seeing them LOLLY...I know the frustrations of slow WIFI...
I appreciate yoru cehcking in and I am glad you two had an awesome day...SED.
Welcome home PAULA...I enjoyed your FB posts.
Oh, and I waved at Shirley and Judie on my trip down and back up! LOL
Have managed to load some pics on fb. Going to get ready for some sleep now.
I love us!!! SED!!!!!!
HELLO THERE:)
Got the chicken cooked and put away in the fridge...Clothes Closet is standing tall. Tomorrow I will make the soup and sandwiches after Gene and Tom grind the chicken. Two of our helpers will make the sandwiches ahead of time. I love this meal, so many of us join in on the preparing of it!
I loved having Margy stop in and we had a nice chat. Showed her our new fridge and freezer and all the goodies that we got from the Food Bank truck.
JUDY, you will be a super-duper volunteer, when the time comes. I know you are very personable and friendly with people and a good worker. You will enjoy it as much as I do. Just make sure you do something that fits you.
So we are supposed to have some wicked weather tomorrow? Hope it waits until Soup Kitchen is done for the night...hate to cook so much food and have no guests:(
GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL...love and prayers from me to you♥
My delete I see LOLLY spoke of her pictures...
Goodnight.
PRAYERS♥
I hope the weather holds off for the soup kitchen WANDA and blessings to you and all who work at the soup kitchen...
Hi, Everyone,
Getting here late tonight! Have been very busy with Emma. She seems to be feeling better tonight, but has had some kind of problem going on. Saturday night she was miserable from the heat, and panting very fast. Did all I could think of to cool her off. She felt a teeny bit better on Sunday. She feels better yet tonight, but not 100% yet. I'm so glad the weather was cooler here today.
Been thinking about and praying for Wanda, Gene, GG, and their whole family.
So glad to hear that there's another baby panda!!!
Ken went to his Dr. appt. today, and all is well. He got a flu shot, too. I get mine on Sept.
30th.
JudyE, good to hear that your fever broke, and you're feeling better! Get plenty of rest!
Sounds like Lolly & Jack are having a grand time--fantastic!
Paula, glad you're back home OK.
Shirley, hope Flash is feeling better now. Gosh, 4 kinds of pills!
Poor fella! Arthritis can be nasty, though.
Well, need to get back to Emma. Hope she feels better tomorrow. She's still eating, so that's a good sign.
Remembered to vote for Dr. Sharpe.
Have said prayers for everyone,
all creatures, and 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!
♥♥Love & miss Lynn♥♥

Good Tuesday morning my eagle friends. Did you know that the word "friends" is very hard to type first thing in the morning? My fingers NEVER seem to hit the right keys in the right order for some reason and I ALWAYS have to retype that word. Think I may just publish it each morning however it comes out - it will become my trademark "first post of the day."
The blob of green to the west of us is HUGE - looks like a lot of rain coming this way today! High winds are forecast as well.
Judy, hope you are feeling better today!
Hope Emma and Flash are feeling better as well.
Headed over to FB to check out Lolly's pics.
Have a great day all!
Well, dang! I thought I saw a hand waving all around yesterday. Should have guessed it was Paula.
(((HUGS))) love and prayers!!!
good morning everyone!
JUDYE: feel better! i like to have gatorade on hand for when i am sick....the electrolytes help the dehydration. and chicken noodle soup; specifically the broth really IS good for you....I think it is (insert whatever word you would like to here, but mine is really rather inappropriate for this blog, so will abbreviate) BS that walmart takes that stance on absences.
thinking of everyone this morning; hoping everyone is well...
had a super yoga practice last night. different instructor form the Saturday session; but it was really good. different poses and some challenging, but bolsters and modifications help! i was so mellow by the time class was over that i just wanted to sleep right there!!!!
there is a FALL EQUINOX yoga class this sat night. thinking about going to that as well. :)
i am so glad i finally arranged things so i can do this...and glad they offer the class 2x a week now. :) i feel sooooo good.
have a fantastic day. taking miss sable to the vet today. the lypoma is really getting bigger adn i had to increase her pain meds. she is also
growing another bump on her leg, further down. she is doing much
better, came out of that funk from when luke transitioned. (still miss that old dude). she is inside 95% of the time now.....which is fine. a 70 lb dog you never know is inside cuz she snoozes most of the day. you KNOW the 12 lb dog (beano) is in the house.....he is mr hyperactive.
all right, thinking of everyone in need.....sending light, love, healing, comfort and smiles to each of you. hugs my friends.....talk to you later...
Lolly your pictures are great.
Good morning from Pennsylvania! Excuse my typos to be, I'm on the iPad funky keyboard.

I'm at my folks and can't wait to leave to go camping on Thursday ... Think Mom and I will wor
