JudyE, I think you were meant to have that eagle ring!
Sandi, pretty cool the stuff that Brian has found out about your family. I'm sure we all have scandals in our history, LOL
Jo, are you getting your PT at home?
Andy, hope your Dr can get you some relief from the shoulder pain.
Lori, so glad you arrived safely. Hope you are unwinding!
Shirley, good luck on the bed.
Lolly, I saw some daffodils halfway up at the beach this weekend. Just saw the tips of mine poking through today.
Glo, maybe you could ride Dex to a nearby park and walk there.
Paula Yes I could and I might do that but being blind he will not know where he is etc although he does love to walk anywhere so it might perk him up. He knows the route to the Marina so I know he knows every time we go there and I don't walk him. it is close enough though that I think I will leave him home if I go to the Marina until it is opened up and we can walk again. he has been very quiet all day today. Didn't even really visit much with company I had for like 3 hours this morning. That is not like him, but I am sort of hoping its just one of those kinds of days we all have sometimes. he ate his supper just fine. Spring is really not too far away. I need him to hang in there for sure.

Yoga is calling.
So, now it's my turn to share some not so good news.
Most of you know that I work for a local furniture company in Frederick. I have worked there since I was 18. It's been my one and only full time job.
Some of you also know, that we got kicked out of our location last year, on May 1st. The company fell on very hard times during the recent recession, and the building was sold at a foreclosure auction.
Our landlord wanted more rent...and when our subtenant asked for a rent abatement (not paying any rent for a period of time), he got totally pissed off and kicked them out. He sent us a letter kicking us out too, but kept telling us he would work with us.
Well, the negotiations got to a ridiculus level as to what the landlord wanted from us, and the talks broke down. He came in and locked us out on May 1st of last year. We had to lay off all of our employees, myself included. He only let us back in to get our records, and we only had 1 day to pack up our papers and go. He kept all of our furniture and fixtures, stating he had purchased them when he bought the building.
I worked for free for almost 3 months with the owner, trying to find a place and get back open. I was also doing everything else, like scheduling deliveries and such. We still had merchandise coming in and furniture to deliver.
Well, we finally opened back up at another location at the end of July. It was not the best location, it was the only location we could walk into without remodeling and start back in business.
It has been a long struggle that is finally coming to a sad end. We are losing way too much money, and we have decided to close. It was not a decision we made lightly, but we couldn't keep on losing our A$$, so to speak. The owner has put all his money and more into the business over the last several years. He probably should have closed it years ago. (The owner also owns a carpet business, which he is trying to sell as well). Our last day open will be March 3. We are supposed to be out of our current space on the 4th (not sure how we'll get that done).
I will probably work for another couple of weeks to finish up the financials, then I will be looking for another job...I have started looking, but not seriously.
It's a sad ending, but one that I am ready for and I am OK with the outcome. I had to really lay out the reality of the situation to the owner...I think he thought he could keep on going. The stress over the last couple of years has been enough. I am ready to move on.
So I look forward to a new beginning...
WHISTLEING WIND ON THE CAM
PAULA so sorry about your end to your only job and so happy you are good with it that will make all the difference your good outlook on life in general I wish you all the luck in finding new employment
BONES is on so off to TV land
OH, K82 at the Two Harbors nest on Catalina has 2 eggs!
Paula you will not miss that stress, that is for sure, but i know you will miss the place you worked and the folks you worked with. I have no clue what the next door is that will open for you, BUT I do know one will open and you will do very well when it does. Good luck with the new journey.
Paula, good for you for being so strong for yourself and the owner! I'm proud of you for looking forward to your new beginning and sticking it out so long! Best Wishes! YOU are a success, and will continue to be so. Big HUGS!
Paula, so sorry that your business has come to such a sad closure...but I truely believe that things do happen in oue lives for a reason....even the really tough bad stuff. We are here, as your friends to support you....there will be something else to come along...I agree with LORI: YOU are a success and you will continue along that path! :) HUGS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here Shirley, this post from Jay Leno is for you! LOL!
A couple in Sydney, Australia were married in an Ikea store last week. They haven't consummated the marriage yet, though. They're still trying to put the bed together.
PAULA LOL
Paula. I believe your loyalty to the furniture business and it's owner will pay off. Your new employer will be well rewarded with you.
I checked the Two Harbors for but they are a little stingy with their stuff.
The Eagles4Kids nest has activity but all I see is a tucked in eagle, can't tell if there's an egg and don't see any notes about it.
Paula, very sorry for the current circumstances. You are going to be just fine.
The sandperson is about to depart to deliver sleepy dust and sweet dreams.
Restful sleep for all.
Thank you, Paula, for bringing the complete but unfortunate news to us....I wish you the very best, you will surely be missed by all that your worked with and for over these many years;
sounds like you and the boss worked all the angles possible, is just a shame that the owner could not be more American about things
L(
((Hugs ))
and Lori: Happy to read you are in your Pennsylvania home away from home...
My Traveling Angel Cloud will take a short but relieved break now
xoxoxo (( Evening Hugs, Pals...)
and yes, as Sandi said....it is Jupiter near the Moon, it flip-flopped positions over night...
Good report from Jo...
and hoping your strengh returns very quickly... the approaching
Springtime and thoughts of Megan's Market will surely help provide
the "carrot in front of the horse"
so to speak, though you are NOT a horse, just a workhorse !
xo
oh dear, poor Andrea... the pain and disability must surely be creating problems with all the
transcriptions she has done over the months for the doctors !!
Yes, get thee to your regular doctor, Andy.... and hopefully...some excellent physical therapy to go with the pain medications....
you are on my Wellness Prayer list!
There was a huge ring around the Moon and Jupiter earlier....
as we see when there is a BIG SNOW coming but I think it is only going to be rain
Super joke Paula,
about the couple marrying in the IKEA store !
oh darn it I missed the Fox screaming once again
and Double Darn it, Lolly's
Laurel has a sore throat !!!
By the way, all...when you say prayers for those needing wellness and healing, be sure to include
YOURSELF on that list if you are in need of healing and comfort....
I recently realized that I needed to do that, and guess what,
I have been feeling some relief in my two hands and arms.
JudyE: enjoy that fully yours ring now, it sounds like a real
beauty !
My head is spinning with the
Geneology report from Sandi!
Bet Sandi DOES wish she could retire for a few months and get it all organized !
Hi BEagle! No egg for Lucy and Larry yet...that is probably Lucy spending the night in the nest.
Thank you all for your support. I may need it in the coming weeks!
Kind of surprised and a wee bit disappointed there is nothing on Google to commemorate
Presidents' Day
Shirley: thanks for the report that Red is still going toe-to-toe with you on Scrabble...
hoping to see Jim here soon...
hope he is OK!
I read that Granny Riffe is in need of prayers....with not being in Facebook, I really appreciate that those of you that are, bring these things to us here.
Thank You
and Prayers for Granny Riffe, and the family.....

egs uncovered
eagles calling out
Hi,
Belle just got off the eggs. Eagle calls.
BELLE IS UP POOP SHOOT AND CHIRPING
egg roll and Belle is back
never in any other year have I heard the beak to eggshell sound
and in prior years, there seemed [to me anyway]to have been far fewer actual eagle calls heard....
except for the squealing baby sounds
and when Shep make first appearances as the Intruder....
Good evening,
Just spent some time reading the posts that went up since I was here earlier.
Paula, so sorry about the job. That is quite a story. I am sure you will find something else.
Loved the story about the Ikea bed, Paula. Hunter is sleeping on the floor in his own room tonight. That is what I did for Kathryn today--I moved the mattresses into Hunter's room and set up his sleeping space there. Kathryn had him on the floor in her room, and she would have had to walk on his bed to get ready for work. She appreciated my efforts!
Congratulations on the ring, Judy!
Rus posted a video of a juvie bald eagle flying with his remote-controlled plane on FB. It's on my Timeline.
It is kind of long, but seeing the eagle is fun.
I do not know if I can post it here, since it is Facebook. I will see what I can do.
Margy, I noticed the beak to egg sound too. Those are some tough eggs!
Will have to see if Rus can help me. I tried to post the video here, but it did not work.
Good Night Good Folks!
Paula, so sorry to hear of your work situation. I'm sure they couldn't have lasted this long without your expert help. You are so smart and talented, you should be able to find any job you want.☺
Andy, good grief! Sure hope you get better ASAP.
Hope Margy gets those extremities working peacefully ☺.I don't know what your Dr. has advised to take, but mine said Aleeve for tendonitis, etc. I don't take it often enough probably. Gotta do the do so it can get rained on tomorrow. Will take my Panda hat and of course umbrella's in car.
Special Good Health Prayers for Granny Riffe and all on our list, and prayers for Hoda's family/friends in Egypt.
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Good evening - almost ready to call it a day - Paula, yes PT at home for about 4 weeks.
Paula, a new beginning will be all your soon, I pray. You did so much good for the store in your years being there.
It is such a let down feeling after all this time. Prayers for your future! ♥
Okay, that was my delete. My post was showing 4 times, but now it is gone. I am confused.
Anyway here goes again:
Congratulations, Red! Good game. I am challenging you to another one!!
PAULA Gracious me!!! That is awesome that you have worked there since you were 18! An incredible awesome and strong Lady you are. I agree that you did more to keep them going then any normal person could have done...Loyalty and dedication are good traits. You are also very very very good at what you do. Take some time to see where else you want to go.What would provide you with a challenge and what would allow for your professional growth. Choose wisely and I will put you in my prayers till you tell us that you are happy with a new job. I am so grateful to you for sharing the news with us and I find myself worried that you passed through all of that without telling us...I could not have possibly missed it if you had said. You are dear and precious to all of us and you have our love and our support and share the frustrations if they arise. You extend a helping hand to all of us. Inspite of all you were going through you came through for us...in words and in deeds. God Bless you PAULA COMPTON you are one classy lady.
Saying Good night to all my friends.
Prayers for Granny Riffe and all of us in need
I love us ♥
I had a very good yoga practice and will have to remember that Mondays I also go to yoga at night when I go skiing during the day...maybe not ski as long.
My regular yoga teacher will be gone for a month. She is doing some yoga workshops on some of the coastal communities, really hippie and yuppie land and then she will fly to Ecuador to do a retreat there...I will miss her but she found us two really good subs...
Thank you LORETTA.
I DO LOVE LOVE LOVE US!
Adventureseome for your Yoga teacher, Hoda...
sounds like you will be well-cared for her in her absence with two good subs...
unless you were talking about
submarine sandwiches.. ☺
Paula...
I can only imagine all the technological changes with things "going hi-tech computer"
in these many years....
surely, you made all those transitions and advancements
much easier for all !
I'm hoping to see a post or two
from Wanda...
I know Soup Kitchen is Tuesday so
today was probably part-preparation day
Also hoping that all our UNseen Momsters and Dadsters are
doing OK
So Red is accounted for, Shirley...
and ready for the next scrabble challange no doubt
Submarine sandwiches? Their foot long is not even a foot long is what I hear...LOL!!! We have one in Nelson but I do not eat there as the white bread causes problems to my system and the processed meats and cheeses too...I do not think my health system could support them and I am not sure they are organic in their salad dept...
LOLLY is quiet tonight??!!LOOOOOOLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY where are you?
for Loretta:
as for me, it is carpal tunnel one side and pinched nerve the other.
Am not taking anything for it,
but occasionally some tylenol for
"referred" discomfort, takes care of it pretty well, and a drastic
change in my eating habits
understand that completely, Hoda...
lots of not so good things in the
regular foods.
additives and over-processed
and such
I'm not done yet for the night here yet but tempus is fugiting, and it IS time for me to sign off here.
Goodnight, Precious Pals,
Hope Sleep is Ever so Sweeeeet
Prayers for Wellness, in ALL our Eagle Corners...
God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox ♥
I am here! Catching up reading the blog.
Paula, had no idea all of that was going on. Can not believe he kept all the furniture when he locked the door. Geeeeesh!
Well, we will just keep your career in our prayers. Bet you get an excellent reference!!!
I have been watching TV and feeling depressed. Little Miss T is not going to Sharon after all. She was still going to take her, but hubby Dan was not happy at all about it. She said that if there are others who want her to let her go to them. So, Joey has placed a call but could not reach the next person, a friend of his.
Laurel sent me a video of Miss T playing with her toys. She was wild with those toys. I would take her in a minute but Jack is very adamant about not wanting a dog. He is not a dog person, a great guy, but not a dog person!!
They already have Ally, she is little, she is 10 and she is all Dan wants.
Well, darn it Lolly...
that is very disappointing...
would be nice if Dan would change his mind.
I'm sorry about this for Sharon
:(
The rest of my stuff is done now.
So it really is past bedtime at this point.
Belle just did another Poop Shoot and rolled the eggs and wiggled back down on them
Good Night, and Sweet Eagle Dreams,
everyone

Good night from Fredericksburg.
SED, everyone.
Good night from Fredericksburg.
SED, everyone.
Yes, I am really in the dumps tonight. Poor little doggie is getting so comfy at Laurel's. BUT, they just can NOT have 3 dogs and cats! It is a struggle to feed those boys. And, we all know about the vet bills!!!
I am ready to turn in myself. Maybe I will feel better tomorrow. No road trip in the plans now. Oh well....
Good night all! Prayers for wellness, strength, jobs, pets, and putting together beds!!!
SED
Goodnight.

Proud of you, HODA, for not having any FALLs today!
Good Tuesday morning my eagle friends - got the day right today, Thelma!! Love 4-day work weeks!
Margy, I'm really glad to hear that your massages and exercises are helping with the pain in your hands and arms! Great news!
Paula, not such great news about your job. But things turn out the way they are supposed to, even if it's not what we think/want to happen. You have a man, a family, and friends who love you! You will surely land on your feet! I will keep you in my prayers that the next job opportunity comes along sooner rather than later.
Jo, happy to hear that you are healing nicely!
Lolly, Miss T will find the right home but I'm sorry it won't be with your sister and I'm sorry it can't be with you!
Time to get ready for my Tuesday - looks like a wet one outside.
Belle called out a few minutes ago but is now settled again.
Make it a great day!
Lori, I will be thinking of you today - enjoying your temporary retirement!
Bev, prayers continue for Granny Riffe.
Up and a big wing stretch for Miss Belle. Calling out - must want a break! And a poop shoot. Now settling back on the eggs.
Good Morning Eagle Pals...
Yep, we know Belle is eating, and her digestive system sure seems to be working well also !
Good Morning Early Bird Sandi..
Hope the four day work week
is divine...
hassle-free and enjoyable, friendly and so on
xo ♥
The birds are singing out to each other
Thanks Sandi...yes, the treatments and what I have to work on myself, are helping...
Wow, What a Soup Menu kitchen
Wanda and Gene and The Church Angels have lined up
Blackwater Eagle just got off the nest also
and BWE is now back, maybe Lord Blackwater is taking over there
doing the morning shuffle...
Best Wishes for a Good Day
for Everyone here....
and for all our families and pets also...
Lolly ** (( Big Hugs )) **
Good Morning Early Birds!
SANDI, thank you. Hope you have a lovely four day work week!
It's just too bad that we can't get Miss T-cup to HODA! LOLLY, so sorry that your sister won't be able to take her.
Mom and Dad are getting ready to leave for an appointment with the urologist in Pittsburgh. One of my Aunt and Uncles is taking them because of the icy, snowy, slushy weather this morning. So, I'll be on my own for a while today.
Gotta go help Mom change Dad's bag - I'm learning! BBL
Wow what a sunrise hereabouts...
the sky is on Fire
Hope all goes well today,
with your folks, Lori...
and that the traveling conditions are OK
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDLETS
Same to you, JudyE....
Things should be warming up down your way now
I was out of the room, think I missed a Switch...sure looks like Shep is on duty now
I must finish getting ready for work
ttfn xoxo ♥
Good morning my eagle momsters and dadsters.
I would have been on earlier but I had a computer problem.
We have some snowy, icy type weather this morning too LORI.
No breath taking, fire in the sky, sunrise MAGPIE.
Ooooh sounds like maybe a day off for the kids there, T?
Hello...glad you got that computer problem squared away...
"Squared Away." wonder how that term came to be
xoxox must really leave now ☺ ♥
I see that SANDI. : ) I've got the day straight too. It's Wednesday, right? LOL
I don't know MAGPIE but it is a strange word.
We don't say circled away or straight lined away.
MAGPIE-It doesn't take much for us Momsters to be intrigued. LOL
Maybe I need to just speak for myself, huh?!
How come they don't make an 11 and a half shoe. What the heck. I'm just saying. Like I said, it doesn't take much....
oh no....
I would love to stay and talk....
hope to SEE you from work, T
like your other expressions..
all part of the Momster Lexicon
Okay no sunrise there, eh?
Well you are IT ☼ then for Mercer County, T-Bird....and Buddy also ☼
xoxo
Out the door I really do go !
Hi all from school!
Here ya go Margy!
SQUARED AWAY - "from the nautical meaning of having changed a sailing ship's positions to that of the prevailing wind, with the yards turned at right angles to the deck."
TTFN!
Good morning Eagle Family! It is a sunny cool morning here in Nashville and for me, it is a delightfully decadent day off! Mind you, I have work to day, but no teaching and no massages. My body needs a break. I had 2 120 min massages yesterday, but both were easy work.
Seems like everyone is up and running this morning....thinking of each of you...
I was planning to stay inside all day, save but for taking Miss Livvy to school, bank run...but if the sun is out and it isn't too chilly, I might venture outside to spread some more marble chips in my flower bed. Tom bought me another 5 bags (in lieu of flowers for Valentines day! :) :) We shall see. I will buy some more tomorrow, which is my payday.
I hope everyone has a lovely day. Thinking of each of you, holding you close in my heart and thoughts!
From Bev's FB page:
Beverly Crisco Riffe
Our niece just posted this:
Update on Granny: She's a little worse than when I first arrived last night. She's on pain meds every two hours. Her breathing is still very hard and she isn't very responsive when you try and talk to her. She's sleeping at the moment. I'll keep y'all updated throughout the day. Prayers for peace and comfort for her. She's so pitiful...

Good morning,
I have bowling this morning, then I am going to try to see what I can do to help with the bed-building project. Will is off today, so I my plan is to enlist Will's help and see what we need to get things underway again.
Good morning to all of you
Lots going on - Our Sycamore Palace is beautiful this morning with our Belle incubating the 2 eggs
No plans for me today other then PT and a Vitals check in my home. Feeling well this am.
Good to hear from all of you - praying that all your trials and tribulations go away and bright skies come over you.
Good morning.
About to get my ship squared away so the prevailing wind can take me to the wannabe adults. Serial killers today.
Lolly, so sorry about Miss T. How nice it would be if Hoda could adopt her.
Prayers for Granny Riffe.
Shirley, have a good bowling day.
Lori, wishing your dad/aunt/uncle a safe trip and that the dr. visit is a good one.
Wanda, don't know how you and the Capt. keep coming up with so many different menus. Yum!
Wishing everyone as good a day as possible.
Wow it is sleeting big time out there
I guess it came over the mountains
Now the snowflakes fall
hLEY moLEY
iT'S AN ICE SKATING RINK HERE IN BERKELEY COUNTY
LOTS OF FOLKS ARE WRECKING
SLEET SLEET AND MORE SLEET
HI JO !!
AND EVERYONE ELSE
Oh my, sleet, Jo!
Looks like we are going to have rain or something out there today. I must venture forth.
BBL.
Thanks Professor Captain Sandi ☺
Sqaured away it is !!
Oh, check out Google Image today, it is heavenly and very celestial
Prayers for Granny Riffe, may she be be in comfort today feel the love and caring of all her family and friends
Tom's sister, Rita, said that she feels like Granny Riffe will pass within the hour. Bless all their hearts.
Oh, SHARON, I'm so sorry for your family. Prayers that she goes in peace and knows her family is with her. Big HUGS.
Good Morning!
LORI - Today will be a good day to get settled in while your parents are at the doctor's and you won't be needed to help with your Dad. Does your Dad still have a Foley catheter for urine, too? Or has that been remedied.
I remember when Dennis had a couple bags going, it was not fun. Different bags for night time than day time, etc. You know!
Dennis is younger and more independent, so he never required too much help. The one thing he could not do was the cleaning and closing off the tube coming out of his back for the kidney because he couldn't reach it.
How is your Dad's strength? Is he feeling better and stronger?
You are a God send to come and stay with them during this time. I know you wouldn't want it any other way because of your love for them, but I am sure they are just overjoyed you are there. You are their blessing!!
SHARON & BEV - Prayers for comfort for the whole Riffe family and prayers that Granny Riffe's transition to Glory will be swift and peaceful. God is waiting for his child to return home.....
Good morning. golly it was so icy I barely got Dex and I across the street. I carry him now for the most part except for when i have to put him down by the hydrant and telephone pole, tree etc :-). I walked and walked him in the backyard for other important business but no success. I so hate to take either of us out there again BUT it will happen in about 6 hours. Then of ocurse to make matters worse we returned home short one booty. I know I know some of you are laughing but for me it meant go find that booty. So I brought Dex home and back out I went. We need that booty for him to walk at all in ice and snow and they are no longer available anywhere. Well it is much easier to walk on ice when you aren't carrying a dog. All is well and I recovered the lost treasure. Prayers for all and Peace for Granny Riffe and her family.
PAULA - Wow......what a year you have been through with your company! Your strength and perseverance shines through it all. That is so YOU!!
Although, you sound relieved that the stress of the past year will soon come to a close, there is that "unknown" before you. I have faith in you and know you will face your next challenge with the grace and dignity......as you always do!
Praying that as you close this chapter in your life, a new opportunity comes your way for a new job.
And along this path, always know we are with you!!
LINDA, love your avatar!
Yes, Dad still has the catheter, thus the appt with the urologist this morning. Every time they take it out he can't urinate. It's been very problematic. He's a little stronger now, not as much as I'd expect him to be, and he's also battling depression now.
GLO, I hope DEX is feeling better today and his spirits pick up. Glad you found that booty! :) You be careful on the ice!!! Remember, no falling allowed.
JO - Sounds like you are making progress towards better health, but this has been quite the set back for you. Bless you as you heal and quietly obey your doctor's orders. I know it isn't always easy.......waiting to heal!!
Hopefully when the warmer temperatures arrive to stay, you will be full of energy and able to take deeper breaths......and you will be up and ready to face the world again!!!
Until then......rest, rest, rest!!
MARGY - Sounds like everyone is slipping all over the place in your neck of the woods. Hopefully by the time your day is done, roads will be treated and conditions will be better.
Glad that some of those exercises you are doing are helping. It's a slow process, huh??
OH ANDY - You poor thing suffering as you have.....
Praying that you find relief very soon for your shoulder. If the pain is unbearable, maybe you should have medication that just knocks you out...... I don't like those myself, but when you are that miserable, you might as well sleep through it!!
SHIRLEY - Hoping the bed issue is resolved today!!
Maybe you should take all the pieces back to the store!!!
LORI - I think you asked about the maple syrup.....
And NO we are not running a meth lab LOLLY!!!
The sweet smell of maple permeates our home right now and has been for the past few days!! It was too cold for the sap to run over the weekend, but we may get some more today for a while. Dennis has a good 15 gallons of sap to boil, so we are good through the days that it does not go above freezing.
It will take 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup......so it is a long process. It works well for us because we have a wood stove going in the basement for heat anyway. We just keep a couple large pots on the wood stove and keep refilling as the sap cooks down. No extra energy costs!!
LORI - Your poor Dad with the Foley catheter, too!
Everything is so intertwined down there, you're always wondering what is causing what.
How far of a drive is it to go to Pittsburgh to see the doctor? That always becomes a pain when the doctors that treat these things are over an hour away. It's not as easy as a 10-20 minute drive to the doctor.
God Bless HIm.....and you and your Mom, too!
SNOWING LIKE MADNESS here in Manchester!
Okay, so I am procrastinating........
I'd better get to work.
Will try to keep checking in, if my brain can do more than one thing at a time.... haha
Wishing everyone a safe day today.....
LINDA, Pittsburgh is about 2 hours away in good morning conditions. Lucky you to have all that maple syrup in the making!
LYNNE2, Is it the big pretty flakes? Waiting for the snow to start here, but it'll be the little dry, sandy-like stuff. Praying good thoughts for you and the move!
I did send email about still cam to Steve
Thanks JO
the Still cam is the only one I can watch here at work
Good Morning more Eagle Pals...
precipitation has stopped here in Berkeley Co, but there sure isn't any heat wave here
Good morning!
Sitting here smiling, LINDA. I immediatly thought of you when I saw about that other couple and their maple syrup. The lady was very gracious and not mad at all. Thanked her neighbors for being alert. Wish my house smelled of maple syrup.
Feel a little better today, but still down about Miss T. Laurel sent me a video of her playing last night. She was scooting toys all over the living area. Also, growling at the toys...the cutest little growl!
I really need to tend to Annie. She had a night of throwing up and not eating today. Sigh....some days she eats and some days she does not. Going to be one of those days.
Would you believe I have nothing on the agenda for today? It is really chilly today though sunny, so not sure I want to do anything outside.
I am off to start my day!
Have a good one!
Seems like Belle has a double shift on the eggs - I thought Shep usually came in after Belle covered for the night
Anyway the nest looks great
It has stopped snowing/sleeting her in the valley
TY Lolly for the beautiful Daffodils! ♥
PT nurse coming at 1:30 Guess I be up and about with PT
Hi, Gang,
Just wanted to let you know I'm hanging in there. Had a lousy night--this seems to get worse at night, for some unknown reason. A long, hot shower this morning helped. Ken e-mailed my doctor for me, and we're waiting for her reply. I hope she'll refer me to a specialist. Thank you all for your prayers for me! I can feel the love!
Prayers for Granny Riffe!...and for the whole family.
Glo, glad you found the missing bootie! Hope Dex perks up today, and feels better.
Paula, so sorry to hear of your work situation! What a mess! I'm certain that you will come through this OK, though. Praying that you'll find just the right new job.
((HUGS))!!
Jo, glad to read that your lungs are doing well, and you're feeling better! That's the kind of news we like to hear! ((HUGS))!!!
Well, I need to go put the heating pad on my shoulder again for a while. I'll try to get back here later to update you about the doctor. Have a good day, everyone!
I ♥ us!!!!
Good Afternoon Eagle Buds !
ANDY, I think our dear Lynn would have told you to alternate heat and ice. Something you might want to ask the doc about. Prayers continue !
NEW BEGINNINGS ! In the couple of years I've been an active part of this conversation almost everyone of us has experienced a New Beginning. Retirement, job changes, housing moves, going through empty nesting, farewells to pets and welcomes to new ones, coping with so many kinds of losses and illnesses AND our group adjustment to life without Liberty and our precious, precious Lynn as well as our gradual acceptance of Shep, the now noble consort for Queen Belle. I am so impressed with the strength and resiliency of my Eagle Buds ! The way we support each other through all the ups and downs, highs and lows brings tears of joy to these old eyes ! In short, I LOVE US and wouldn't know how to live without you all anymore !
Praying for Granny Riffe and all in need !
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Quick afternoon check in. Got a bit of spring fever and did some spring cleaning......egad!
Beautiful day here....sunny and in the 40's. I've been a t shirt, jeans and flip flops all day. Changed now though to tennies, gonna go wash the car.
Sending healing thoughts and love to all in need..........thinking of a quiet, peaceful, loving transition for Granny Riffe............
Hey you all on Facebook....Megan has a page, Megan Webbers Flowers! Check it out!
Thanks, Lynne! Just liked Megan's page. Beautiful flowers!
Tonight Miss T is going home with a lady named Beth. She is a realtor in Denton. She is a little older than Laurel and has two boys. The funny thing is when she was a little girl she lived across the street from us in Fort Worth. Lost track of them when we moved here 40 years ago. Then a few years ago I recognized Beth's mother at a boys baseball game. I thought it was her but not sure until I heard someone call her mother by name. Also, Laurel has taught one of Beth's boys. Small world. Only thing...her husband is out of town. Says he will not be happy. Why are some hubbies that way? Laurel and I are happy about this. Beth was at her house the other day and fell in love with Miss T. Glad we will be keeping up with her progress.
Kay, you said everything so well. Yes, could not live without this group!! I love us!
OH MY JUDIE will have a field day with LINDA running a meth lab HODA doing pot LOL
HELLO HOME FROM WORK as you may have guessed LOL

The wind is still roaring at the nest Poor Belle
Great you got a taken for the little one LOLLY If I lived closer I would have taken her in a heart beat
There are several on the blog who would have taken her, Judy. Wish you all lived closer. Talked with Laurel. She said Beth already has large dog and she and her husband had talked about getting a small dog. Hope this works out. Jacob is very upset. But, understand Luke is depressed and pouting. Oh, dear!
Lukw ia jealous and wants Mss T to GO!!

How long has Belle been on the nest Shep is always on it when I get home and today its her
Hi all! Have been watching the nest while doing school work.
Judy, Shep was egg sitting when I got home from school and logged on at about 4pm. I think the switch happened around 5pm.
nite light is on
thanks SANDI switched right before I got home Last night was soooo funny he didn't want to get it
BELLE has a reverse mowhawk with the wind blowing at her back
the tree is swaying in the wind big time the tree trunk at 7 is really moving
There may be rain on RACE DAY
Good evening everyone!
LOLLY, I'm happy Miss T is going to a good home. Hope the hubby loves her!
CYCLONE SHIRLEY, hoping the bed got finished today and you had a great time bowling! How did you do?
JUDIE, did you finish your book?
SANDI, loved your skeletons you found from your geneology search! Forgot to tell you that. Very funny!
GLO, how is Dex doing today?
KAY, I couldn't agree with you more - I LOVE US! What a great group we have. Big HUGS!
SHARON and BEV, How is Granny Riffe doing? I pray for peace for her and your families.
JANET, I laughed that you were wearing flip flops in 40 degree weather! Too cold for me. :)
LYNNE2, thinking of and praying for you and your move this weekend. No stressing!
HODA, how was your day? Sure wish you could have had Miss T.
LORETTA, any good animal sightings at work today?
JUDYE, Are you wearing your new eagle ring? :)
Thinking of everyone and praying for those in need. I love you ALL!
JANET don't let LORI fool you she wore sandals in OCT at the nest I have picture from when I was up there LOL
and YES LORI I got the ring sized last night $10. to size it looks good now I only need one more pinky eagle ring then all 8 will be ringed LOL
Janet at works still insists that it was a spirit that left me the ring and I told her that I need another and keep looking daily LOL
Lori. Except for bitter cold and lots of ice to walk Dex has had a pretty uneventful day. He seems to feel better than yesterday though Is interacting more with me. Maybe the cold spurs him on. Got a big storm coming on Thurs if they are right. Hmm our trip to walk in the park is going to have a to wait a while Winter may have finally arrived.
I so want Ms T to have a loving home. She sounds like an awesome little dog. Someone is very lucky. I can not imagine what happened that she became homeless.
CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY THESE LOL
Like JOwould say its Terrific Tuesday
Belle has got her head up...
Good Evening Eagle Pals....
"Within the hour" for Granny Riffe was awhile back...
are there any updates? ♥
((Hugs for the Riffe Family ))
Am tickled flower pink that Megan has Megan's Flowers up on a Facebook page...
not that I can see it for real- yet -
but I will see it in my mind
Best Wishes for Miss T as she settles in with Beth.....
Belle has her head tucked back in again
it's pretty unpleasantly windy cold tonight
The Royal Sycamore is doing some swaying in the wind
Good evening,
I thought I saw a snowflake at the nest. Just one.
Glo...
uplifting report on Dex....
Spring cannot come too soon these days...
that snowflake is probably in Martinsburg by now, Shirley
how was bowling ???
MARGY you can see her page it public here is the link
you don't have to be on facebook to view public pages
MeganWebberFlowers?
Enjoy this AM's sunrise!
Sunrise and Snow
Thank you JudyE!
I have had each and every one of those flowers, either as a cut flower in a bouquet, or a plant in my garden which then became flowers here.....
And thank you Lynne2! I saw that fire in sky this morning, and we got
sleet not snow afterwards...
I can't sit....too tight in the back and shoulders and arms
be back much later on
(( Evening Hugs, Pals....)) ♥
Judy so if I make my fan pages public then everyone can see them? That would be a good idea for me. I guess they would have to click like to be able to comment but I am more interested in sharing the pictures and well Dex of course wants me to share his page too :-)
SO MARGY you got to see her page COOL BEANS Hey is there a comment area if you aren't a facebook person just curious and I think it would help Glo too
GLO you can even make just certain pictures or albums public and anyone can look at our profile pic and the cover pic that is public for all but its how you have your setting if its public everyone can see it and on that you could have albums marked private or anyother setting I have a few of my albums public so but not the personal pictures they are friends only but eagle related is public and vacations too
ok to the TV
Good evening all...JUDYE I am charging my phone for a bit, then I will call you and we can discuss that paperwork that we recieved in the mail.
LORI: regarding flip flops. It depends on the time of the day. In the morning and early in the p.m. I am typically hot and sweaty...espeically if I am working...but in the evening.....I freeze. And goodnes, my feet my have my thermostat in them...I cannot stand it if my feet are too hot or too cold....
I went out and had some RETAIL THERAPY today....lol. I went to staples and bought 2 new filing cabinets and a new shredder!!!! I've been wanting these items for a while...so I was glad to get them.
I also went to lowes and bought ten more bags of white marble chips!
Anyway, its been a lovely day! I 'm back in my toasty warm houseshoes as it is evening and drinking my cup of hot tea.....
Light, love and hugs to all!
Belle up for a big wing and tail stretch.
Sounds really windy at the nest, but it really isn't too windy out...just sounds like it.
I saw that egg roll too, Paula...
it's right windy hereabouts, actually....we had wind warnings reports at work, for "West of the Blue Ridge" - that's us
but places like Frostburg and higher elevations will get it worse
Filing cabinets and a shredder, those are some super items
Janet !
Organize on !
ttfn
hot tubby time here for sure
xox ♥
Lolly, happy to hear that Miss T has a home.
Good evening all.
Strangest event this afternoon. Got home and found an FBI agent and a RCMP detective waiting. They said they had a few questions for me. Wanted to know what I know about a strange odor being reported across the U.S. Seems to be a combination of West coast (B.C.) cannabis farms and a suspected East coast meth operation disguised as maple syrup production. Taking the 5th on this one.
Hope Shirley had a good bowling day and Hunter's bed will soon be put together.
Lori, finished the gang book. Student brought me The Murder Room today. Already hooked. Hope you and mom and dad are okay.
Glo, hope Dex continues to feel better.
Margy, please relax those muscles.
Isn't funny how stuff like new filing cabinets and shredder can be so exciting????? lol. Maybe I'm just easy to entertain?
Lolly, glad the pup will have a good home and hope the husband will be accepting.
Thinking of Granny Riffe.
Going to pretend to be Jo and put my feet up. Tired tonight.
Happy Evening Everyone!
Wanted to get on here today, but couldn't get on internet til late in the day & was busy then.
Lori, did you ask if there were animals at the Park????Yes indeedy!! I missed your lovely voice on the radio, but not to worry~~~we get to speak to you here!!! Best wishes and prayers for your Dad's improvement.
I think Kay hit the nail on the head about the power of this group!Over a year ago when I asked for some prayers for our friend, Danny, who had to have open heart surgery, their family was just amazed how wonderful the support was from this group! I LUV us!
Prayers for family of Granny Riffe.
Lolly, so glad Ms. T will have a home!
Glad Jo is perking along ♥ and hope Andy feels better fast.☺
As crummy as it was today, tried to get most pictures of the "wildlife" through wet windows.We only had rain and some wind--was nasty. Have to download camera & if I get in the lounge chair, I may not return tonight!
OMG you won't believe what my screen looks like.....
so weird, everything all cattywampus.
Judie!!!! Love it!!
BTW, we sometimes have strange odors at the Park. WSSC is a little upriver! (Wash. Suburban Sanitary Comm.)
Hi all! Seems I am having difficulty finding the time to be on here and really getting to know you all and your history. I apologize for that.
Thanks to all who have sent since nice greetings.
I have been reading back and want to tell Paula that I am sorry to hear about the loss of the company. How tragic when that has been the place of you dedicated service for so long.
I hope MemaJo is doing well.
And, I have been meaning to ask--how do you get a feather? LOL--Do I find out about that on Momsters? I really have not enough time to explore all that, but I will.
Take care everyone
SED and G'Night
A symbolic feather is awarded to the person who finds a new thread and tells everyone about it, Lydia.
I was wondering and hoping that Lydia would pop on... ☺
Ask, and you shall get an answer, here Lydia...sometimes four or five times in succession
It's the Momster Way ☺
Ditto Loretta....Kay was in her eloquent and honest and heartfelt best with her post....
earlier today
Margy, you are so sweet! Thank you for the lovely card. It will take awhile for us all to adjust to the loss of Flash. So much quieter when a guest arrives at the door now. Luna will go to the door, but there is not the lively announcement.
oh bummer Lynne2 -
hope you get YOUR computer screen
SQUARED AWAY !
♥ Shirley....
You are most welcome...
just sorry the occasion arose to send that along (( Hugs ))
family phone call coming in...
be back before bedtime
xoxo ALL
Oh, I just popped back in and see you already answered my question. Thanks--okay, be the first person to find a new thread and get a feather!
And so sorry Shirley is sounds like you lost a fur baby..I have missed so much for not keeping up.
Sending Hugs to you
Now, SED and night for real ♥
Lydia you get a feather if you are the first one to spot and post on a new thread. Be sure to also go to the old thread and post in Bold capitals NEW THREAD ALERT so others who log on later see they need to head on over to the new page. Good luck. Hope you get a feather. :-)
From Bev...on Facebook
Beverly Crisco Riffe
Closing the door on another hard day. Thanks for all the prayers. Please keep them coming. Granny Riffe is hanging on and struggling so. So blessed to be part of this amazing family. Think of her children as you lay down tonight. This is so tough on them. Love and hugs!!

oh dear, it was the titmouse, not cardinal, that comes at 3 o'clock
Sandperson had to wake me up to say departure is imminent and I need to notify the momsters/dadsters.
The night light is on. The nest is quiet. Restful sleep for all.
I put a few pic on the blog of two TURTLES a huge soft shelled on and a smaller one and two birds love it
Two turtle and two birds
I enjoyed my TV this evening - only do 2 shows. So happy for little ms T cup
Thoughts and prayers for Granny Riffe and her family. Such a rich life she has had ♥
Tomorrow is another dr appointment - Family Physician checking up on me.
I love Megan's new FB page and like Margy, I have had one of each bouquets over the years! ♥
Good Night for now and may tomorrow bring to all only good happenings.
I love us ♥
Laurel called and Miss T was picked up. Beth came with her two sons...all excited. Beth said she felt like she was taking their dog. Everyone was so sad. She left with Miss T tucked in her sweatshirt jacket. Probably going to name her Dolly. I personally do not like the name. lol She thinks her hubby will come around. Joey told her to just plop her in his lap. That is all it will take.
Funny story is Luke. He went from pouting to back to his cute personality right away. He knew he was not getting the attention he should get. lol Laurel has washed all his toys that he shared.
Time for me to say good night. School bus time will come early.
SED, everyone.
Well I'm calling it a day
