split!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
Good grief! Just made it through behind Lolly and have to say my anxiety increases when I see two little babes on opposite sides of the nest and for all the world looking like they are just going to scramble overboard.
Been grading. Surprisingly, papers thus far are actually pretty good.
Lovely sunshiny day. Headed to the scullery. Hope everyone has had a good day.
Oh, someone may have mentioned but just in case: Isla has returned. I will try to send an email to Chrissy and I did send an email to my Scottish police officer.
Okay, bye
Lolly, you're right - some of Belle's kids ARE adult eagles now! Speaking of kids, these 2 kids are just everywhere today!! Looks like they've both wiggled their way into Daddy's shadow now. Both plotzed!
Shep calling out! Hope he's just calling for Belle to relieve him!
Great news that Isla has returned for another year!
How old is Isla now? She is getting ancient!!
Bathrooms clean, house clean and straight but maybe should dust a little. Deviled eggs are made, so tonight whip up two salads and get the potatoes and ham ready to pop into the oven tomorrow. Laurel is bringing a cake. Jack emailed her with a plea. He said "Jacob and I would really like it." So funny!
Shep is working on the egg cup. Maybe to lure them back to where they belong. I think they are sleeping in the pantry...right on top of days old rabbit!
BACK in the BOWL funny seeing them interact OH HOME from work
They are out of the bowl again...Parent on the nest...they are about in the middle of the nest, one awake, one asleep
other one just fell over, LOL
HODA so sorry for the your loss
Hi Judy, how was work today? Lots of crazy people buying last minute things for Easter??
To me, it looks like the cam picture is clearer now. Judy, do you think so?
WE are 76° nice and sunny this afternoon so nice we are not getting ANY MORE cold fronts POOP SHOOT
almost got the back of SHEP
OH I showed Jordyn the chicks yesterday and one POOP in the nest didn't make it out Jordyns Says OMA that is gross LOL Kids just don't apprectiate a good poop shoot like we do
WOW it was so packed today like people didn't know it was
Easter tomorrow SANDI and they seem to be upset that its not marked down tooo we don't do that till after easter We are getting ready for inventory on Wed YUK
the cam doesn seem clearer I think also but still really can't see the ground or maybe there is nothing down there to see no colors or bushs
They sure are the noisiest little things I don't remember them last year being this noisy anyone else?
Boy, did I ever get scolded. I am still being fussed at and I am inside!!! I wanted to clean the outside of my kitchen sick window. I always check the wrens nest and this time she just stared back at me and then flew away. She landed in a nearby redbud and proceeded to give me what for!! I apologized!!! Oh, and there are 4 eggs in there now! Yea!
Judy, I'm wondering if the new cam just has a better microphone to pick up the sound? I agree the kids sound noisier than I remember!
Lolly, so sorry your kitchen has a sick window! =)
Time to fix some food for people and pets. Later!
Groan.....fingers have a way of their own. lol
Shep is such a good daddy
It directed me to sign back in but I am signed in and them came up with a BLOGGER OOPS screen Testing to see if this goes
I compared my pictures the past couple of days SANDI and they look to be the same Odd huh maybe its the sun today makes look better
NO I think I can see more detail in Shep feathers wing ones than before
so funny that they peep even when they seem to be resting or sleeping Is that a form of snoring LOL Ok gonna go watch the 6 news and become educated LOL
I think they want to eat they are watch Shep dig in to chow at 1130 aand they are going over I think
oh dad is going to get co here the come

I think he will be giving in soon
YEP he is feeding them and one is climbing over the other to get some
Eating again!
Belle back, they both called out briefly, like something was around...but now Shep is back to feeding the kids, but I think they're full. He was giving them some pretty good size pieces.
Gotta go hit the shower...
Hoda, so sorry for your loss.
Belle just went over and grabbed half a fish from Shep, she took it to the 6 spot, then she moved to the 12 spot...she is redding the kids...where oh where are they putting it all !
Now Shep is at the 6 eating.
Now Shep is at the 6 eating.
LOL Shep was feeding and Belle walked around the eaglets and took the food he was feeding. Then she walked back to her place and began feeding them. So funny!
Shamrock on the left, Hedgie on the right...they are both getting fed.
Oh, is that what she did, LOL
They have grown tremendously since we got the cam back.
BELLE goes over and steal the fish that Shep was feeding to them now she is moving it to them and I guess she want to do it
Think Shep has the rabbit part.
Boy, this is the nicest day we have had all spring...
Gross.....Shep is messing with long departed food in the nest. The rabbit?
I am uploading a short video of them traveling half the way across the nest to get to Shep and also where Belle stole the fish
Shep wants to feed them too...looks like another bunny part at the top of the nest.
Shep was at 6 now he moved to help feed the kids They are both feeding and wow lots of talking between all of them Belle too
Up to 77 here now. First time I have felt warm in the house. Guess I could open more windows.
I am dusting...back to work. But, it hard to leave when the whole family is present.
Shep worked and worked to get the right size piece...feeding Shamrock now.
I just love our new sound on this cam so much we were missing I think before so sweet seing them both feed at the same time
SHEP up to the branch
and now he poofed I heard his wings
HEY you all the chirps we are hearing right now the fast ones is that the chicks?? doesn't sound the same
Belle seems to be done feeding them
I can see their beaks move so I guess that is them with the different fast sound
BELLE is back to picking at the fish and eating it herself
BELLE is moving and picking up sticks
Looks like she is gonna brood them can't see them she is blocking the view and she is picking in the cup area
Yep moving more sticks and flugg from the bowl area And she thinks she can get them back in the BOWL I think of Steve Martin everytime I say back in the bowl
down she is one them and moving flugg around her
the chirps are now muffled she is on them back to the news now I hit pause on the dvr not to push play and she has some peekaboo going on
Well, surprised to see she has them under her. Good for you, Belle!
Heading outside now for a glass of wine on the front patio. House is spic and span....come on over!
What Do We Do Now?
One in a series of seven photos:
The National Elk Refuge Outdoor Recreation Planner witnessed a spectacular standoff between two juvenile mountain lions and five coyotes. The coyotes let the cats know they weren’t welcome in the area. The mountain lions sought safety on a buck and rail fence for over an hour while the coyotes lurked in the background.

I just realized I forgot to say what the link was STEVE put one of the pic on facebook there is a series of 7 to look at pretty cool and the above was my delete link didn't take

Cool series of photos
Geese are flying over.
Belle has the kids tucked in tight...big day for them today.
Movement in tree...Shep back?
I heard Shep in the attic and hear the geese making a terrible racket!
Here is the video of the feeding with SHEP the chicks were in the middle of the nest and Shep was eating at 12 they sauntered over to dad to beg for food and takes about 2 min to travel the distance then Belle lands and steals the fish from Shep and feeds them and then Shep joins in
I see heads poking up, LOL
Belle up. chicks awake...
KIDS must be hungry again a little before night night time I guess

Chicks are really chirping
She is feeding them fish...geeze look at Hedgie's crop.
Darker down starting to come in.
Time for bed
Oh the consensus is that the intrudere made it to the nest it was not Belle! My error! Was indeed an adult eagle
Hubby and I went out to eat - Bob Evans of all places. Since the 1st of the year our eating out went downhill
due to my not being up to par.
Hoda - sorry to hear of your cousin's death. I know your heart goes out to the family.
Hoda - the video (I think) showed the intruder not Belle coming into the nest and it was Shep that fought the intruder off over the side of the nest and down towards the ground.
Thank you for the reports I am so glad that they are both so well fed.
Thank you for the condolences. It is Life.
The walk was very good for me. It is 71 degrees here. Street singers and street dancers are out. Half the town sounded like Americans and they are having a great time. Young people walking around cheerful and happy joining in with the locals. What awesome kids from the USA. I smiled at their enthusiasm and eating of icecream and simply singing along and dancing. Many plates from Western USA today.
The park was full. I think everybody went out to greet the sun.Shorts sandals bare feet and some topless and some in skimpy tops!This is March and we are all hoping this is not our summer!!! Chairs out for street cafes and and doors are wide open...Blissful
This too is Life!
Yes that was one big large adult eagle, Shep was great defending the babies, and the nest, and in
chasing off the unwelcome visitor
Hoda, I am very sorry to read of your cousin's death, my condolences to you and all the family (( Hugs ))
Wrist okay today ???
how way cool, Isla has returned, must go check that site out
Shirley
Thanks for the Eagle versus Hawk
link, that was brutal...
so glad to read the eggs hatched the next day
We have our Christmas tree at work
decorated for Easter, and plastic eggs dangling from the ceiling tiles...but there is not ONE SPECK OF CANDY AT THE OFFICE...!!
Maybe tomorrow some leftovers will
come in
Thanks MARGY wrist is much much better and I celebrate all of life its easy to take and its hard to cope with it is all LIFE...we just return from whence we came...a journey it is all a journey... Travel lightly and with love everyone...I ♥ US
I'll be seeing some folks who live near some of the Eagles' Nests on the other side of the Potomac in
Maryland...maybe I will learn something about what is going on
at those places
That's very good, Hoda...
good thoughts...
I am taking a homeopathic brew for
decreased pancreas activity,
it is called "Earth"
will find out another time how
it is working
Thank you JO I watched the clip on the intruder again and it is indeed Shep who fights it off.Thank you JO.
As I tell myself...I have a lot more body parts that ARE working than are NOT, so I am most grateful as well.
I've been thinking of how my Mother was at my age...
that was..
that would have been in 1970 when I was ... 19!
Tell me more about the homeopathic brew for decreased Pancreatic activity MARGY...when you see its effects write more about that please.
Sounds like Lynne2 and Steve's roost is coming along very nicely !
No surprise !
I will go check email for a while. BBL
Paula has a houseful,
Wanda's avatar is super-duper
and Jo's Michael goes choo choo-ing
down to NC on Sunday !
Saw Sharon pop on much earlier:
HELLOOOOO SHARON !!!
And I read of all the Cleaning Tales on here today also!
Oh, I admire all that, am Jonesin'
to do some of the same
but I lose my steam rather swiftly
during the work week
:(
Excuses, Excuses !!
Will do, Hoda...
My chiropractor is pretty sharp
on "reading" aka sensing through muscle and nerve impulses,
on what my body is all about....
One co-worker in particular teases
me about these things...
says I should take the stapler, and the tape dispenser to him, pens and pencils, etc...
hold them, and see if he thinks
they are good for me to use!
She is silly...
makes for some good laughs though
I hear an ambulance siren
I used to be one making those
sirens make that noise, quite
a number of years ago....
the dogs might start howling
when they hear it...
Uh oh...sounds like an emergency on the cam.
Oh!
I have Loch of the Lowe's up
nighttime there, and SEE an osprey, so I guess it is Isla...
Thanks to Jo and Judie and maybe a few others... for the news !
medevac coming in here now to our hospital :(
Hi Lolly !
It's a mixed feeling....
seeing those medevacs...
someone is going to get much needed treatment,
and they are so majestic to watch.
Hospital is less than 1/2 mile
"as the crow flies" from my
apartment
Michael arrived in NC and was greeted by his granddaughters around 4:00 today.
He had left Union Station this morning around 10. Lots of happy faces in the pictures Christine has taken. He will be there for the week - Christine has her surgery on Monday early am hour.
I am so very grateful for the FRIENDSHIP of TWO GRACIOUS LADIES...Blessings JUDIE and JO. Thank you.
I have Type 2 diabetes - Whenever my blood sugar is 150 or above (before breakfast and before dinner) I take a drug of very low dosage called
Glimepiride. It helps to increase the normal insulin output of the pancreas. It is working well for me. I regularly take 2 tabs twice a day of Metformin.
So far there is no need to inject insulin. I am thankful for that....
My sound was off what were you hearing LOLLY? It all looks and sounds quiet now...a bit of wind is all.
Okay Jo, that is good, no injection...and thank you, I had thought Michael was choo-chooing Sunday, Blessed that he has already arrived at the Bragg Bunch's Roost NOW !!
(( Hugs )) my friend....xoxox ♥
I have a few relatives, and one sister and one niece who have died....who had Type I diabetes with many complications...makes me very sad that their lives were difficult
at times....
but they are in glorious peace
now ♥♥
Loretta - I hope Blinky liked bis Easter basket treat~ I have a small treat for our Marvin and Scar!
There are baby bunnies out and about -
I have to keep an eye on our 2 felines. So far it has been good - I mean the bunnies are faster then they are.......
Cam pic is so hazy - I swear I can see a little head peeking out from under.
I will return = everyone take care! ♥
Christine is, and has been, on my Prayers for Health list, Jo...
will be thinking of her especially on Monday morning....
Tried to vacuum my room awhile ago. Now I know why the dustbin was empty after Hunter did his vacuuming job. I wondered because the floor looked reasonably clean, yet there was nothing in the dust bin.
The dang thing had picked up some stuff and it was just caught up in the brushes. It dumped the mess in my room and there was not enough suction to do anything.
Went to Walmart and came home with a nice new Dyson. We work vacuums pretty hard in this house with all of the critters. This is supposed to be one of their vacuums that are good for animal hair. But then so was the one that has just died (but not a Dyson). We shall see.
Oh, glad your papers are pretty good, Judie. I think you said you enjoyed your wanna be adults this term. Good papers are so much easier to grade.
So nice when you do not have to figure what it is they are trying to say and make suggestions about how to fix something that looks pretty hopeless.

Please pardon the double post.
I see parent (I assume Belle) is in the nest and tucked.
I have a "bagless" Dirt Devil,
Shirley...it is simply amazing
what it picks up! AND, I do NOT have pets, so what does this tell you ??
Not sure, but it does not speak
too well of my housecleaning
skills...
☺
Happy Easter !!
ILSA is back!! Wow, what an amazing bird.
I have some family making their
march into Catholicism right about now, in Toledo, Ohio...
a niece and some grandnephews...
I so wanted to be there, but I couldn't pull it off
My niece sings in the choir also
and was behing the Incense-shaker the other night, Holy Thursday,
she said it was a bit of
a challenge...
I think it just means you have a good vacuum, Margy.
I had a Dyson before, but not a very fancy one. It did lose suction after awhile, but I liked it while it worked. It was light, the spots most likely to clog were easy to get to, and the hose was long enough to reach all the way upstairs.
Belle is awake. Wonder if the kiddies are stirring about underneath her?
Happy Easter to you, Margy!
Thanks Shirley....
and to all my pals here...I had cards and Cherry Blossom stamps...got some out, but didn't get to finish up, simply ran out of time...
Please know: I Care !
and I love you dearly and cherish your friendship...Thinking of Lynn ♥
Speaking of Shammie and Hedgie...
I was wondering, if they like Mammal food over Fish Food.
They sure were wiggling around
when Shep was trying to keep them covered up with his mighty wings earlier today....
Signing off for awhile, trying to have some quiet personal time,
but that includes time
shmoozin' with friends here ☺
ttfn xo ♥
I guess it's not too early
to bring Bunny in Bibs with Flowers on here, with Thanks to Lynne2 who sent it to me, and
to Paula to upsized it for me:
Happy Almost Easter ! ♥ ☺
Belle tucked in...earlier the little ones were chirping.
Congratulations on the new vacuum SHIRLEY I hope it does a good job and lasts a long while.
Blessings to you and your family MARGY those gone and those here...
Cam went off and is back on again on its own!!! Belle still tucked in.
Hi Margy!
Hoda, I was in the kitchen cooking when I heard a siren. It was so loud, Jack thought it was here. LOL It was on the cam.
I made that comment and then went back to the kitchen. Everything is ready for tomorrow. Will put the ham in just before we leave for church. Will then just have to put the potatoes in when we get home. They are ready and in the refrig along with the two salads. Jack (the bread maching expert) is going to make a loaf of bread to come out about the time we eat.
You make sure to take a picture of your EASTER TABLE LOLLY. It is a good thing JACK is a bread maker and let me know what wines he chooses...I bet you it will be a super delicious meal and may it bring blessings to you and your family. I love it that you said "Your Eagle Family"...yes indeed you are family to me.Blessed Be...so much Gratitude.
Well, we love ya, Hoda and we show that by giving you a hard time. (And hugs when you need them! and when you don't need them.) lol
Jack
was down checking the wine rack for wine tomorrow, but there is a good chance Michael will show up with the wine. And, by down I mean squatted down and looking at the wine rack. We do not have a wine cellar! :)
Michael has a cute "wine cellar" Just off his dining room is a little room just for wine. It looks like a wine cellar and is very Tuscan.
I was telling Jack about the intruder today. I watched that video which was 14 minutes long. For 12 or 13 of those minutes Shep was sitting in a funny fashion with wings sorta out protecting the eaglets and one of the eaglets was out stretching his neck and looking around. Bet Shep would have scolded him if he knew. I thought it sorta funny.
I saw that LOLLY and laughed at the little one and papa not knowing she was looking about!
Tuscan Wine Cellar sounds promising. Between JACK and MICHAEL I am sure you will have an excuisite selection of wine...
Oh, yes, we will! Michael is a wine snob. LOL They now have a good friend who is part owner of a winery and he is the wine maker out in Napa Valley. Ashley went there years ago with a group of girls. They met this guy, a wine maker and one of the girls really fell for him. He came to Dallas for a program and then this girl visited him out there, they fell in love, married and now have two children. We have been to Napa and Michael says when we go back, just tell them who we are and we will be treated royally. Hmnmm? Sounds good to me!
Actually, we prefer Paso Robles wineries rather than Napa. That area is too expensive for us! lol
Time for me to give myself a pedicure and a manicure. Hear that, Wanda????? Going to break out the open toed heels for church in the morning.
Go Purple Lolly !!! ☺
Hoda
Thank you....for your kind remarks about my family....I am the baby of the family of 8, six of us remain....
Thinking of you across the many miles...what are YOUR Easter plans?
I bet your food fare is something organic and fascinating !
Do tell, please....
Lolly...I sent my niece a gift card, she said she was going to
spend it on a Pedicure !
total luxury for this fine woman ☺
someone asked me if I was having chocolate at noontime today....I always considered midnight as the official end of Lent...
might break into the Chocolate Klondike bars if I am still
awake ☺
Was so cute watching Mom dig a new bowl for the kids after all their scampering around today and giving them a bedtime snack. Love this family!
Wishing you all a Happy Easter!
G'Night and SED's á•™(`▽´)á•—
Sorry, Margy...putting "Baguette Me Not" on the tootsies. It is a deep rosy pink.
I have returned - All this food Lolly has ready sounds so good. Especially Jack's loaf of fresh warm bread!
I have on display a beautiful Cherry Blossom card from my very special card sending friend T Y Margy!
xo ♥ Jo....
we had a bakery here for many years, [now out of business :( ]late at night the smell of fresh baked bread permeated the
neighborhood... ands folks could get a loaf of hot bread....but I am sure Jack's is superior to that !
The sandperson has returned from making sure Michael arrived safely at Ft. Bragg. Also made a quick fly-by to check out the nest and all is quiet there.
Shirley, hope the new vacuum works wonders.
Anyone remember: "...Mine eyes are dim, I cannot see..." Well, anyway, mine eyes are tired and I can barely see. It is time to say goodnight.
The night light is on and the sandperson will be on the way soon. Heard some grumbling about having to now go all the way to Scotland but sandperson likes Isla almost as much as Belle and Shep and the babes.
Restful sleep for all and, in advance, a most lovely Easter morning to everyone.
And a lovely Easter morning to you, Judie and to Darth as well!
Tootsies are drying and now for "Tooti Fruiti Tonga" for the fingos! You know, the names of the polishes are really hysterical!!
Good Night Judie and all others who have 'hit the pillows'
I am on my way very shortly myself.
Belle's head is tucked and I say a prayer for our Royal Eagle Family's Safety.
Good night and as the sun rises I wish for all of you to have a Blessed Easter
I love us! ♥
Well I'm calling it a day

God Bless This Nest,

Assembled vacuum.
Vacuumed part of my room and laid down some throw rugs to help protect the carpet from cat accidents.
Will finish tomorrow.
Purchased a rib roast for tomorrow. We will have squash and mashed potatoes. Cheesecake for dessert. And a dish of raw veggies and dip for an appeteaser.
Will ask Susan and Rus to bring some bread and any other beverages they might wish to have.
Rest well my friends. Have a good Easter Day tomorrow.
Waiting to hear from WANDA on the LOLLY Tootsie situation...I hope the colours meet WANDA'S approval so we would not have a paint war going between theses two ladies!!!
MARGY yes Vegetarian Fare and with a chocolate mousse of indulgence. It is a good Easter meal.
I would like to spend most of my day outside in the warm sun and seeing what is happening with plants and life is very good.
Belle tucked in.
Goodnight all.
Thank you.
PRAYERS♥
I think the kids have their days mixed up they are awake and peeping and Belle is up over them I see one in front of her in the cup
she is digging in the cup areas
BELLE is tucked in and so should I be
Hi all! Beautiful day here, spent much of it outside.
Hoda, so sorry about your cousin passing away.
WOW, that was some intruder episode. Glad our birds are all ok.
Would love to chat but must get some sleep...
Goodnight and prayers for all on this most Holy of eves.
Back from dinner with John, Michael, Laura and Larry. Stayed for awhile to hear the band, then had Michael bring me home...I'm beat.
Belle is up and rearranging, I guess. Think the cam quality at night sucks, but the daytime is pretty good.
Happy too, to hear that Isla has returned.
Shirley, there is nothing like a good vacuum to pick up the pet hair!
Jo, glad Michael has arrived and can be there for Christine and the gkids.
Margy, I saw your overall bunny when I was looking for my Easter bunny, I remember that!
I am headed to bed....
SED, love and hugs for all ♥
I hope EVERYONE has a wonderful and Blessed Easter, tomorrow~
GOOD NIGHT...LOVE AND PRAYERS FOR ALL ~♥~
My turn to say good night. I think Wanda skipped reading the blog tonight. hee hee hee
I want to wish all of you a very happy, blessed Easter. God bless and keep each of you.
(((Hugs))) SED!!
Happy Easter!!
Good Easter Morning Eagle Family!!!
I hope today hold great family plans for you!
HODA, so sorry about the loss of your cousin. Prayers for you and the family. Big ((HUGS)).
I thought a lot of you would be up by now getting things done in the kitchen, but I know a lot of you did some of that yesterday - like LOLLY!
Congrats on your new vacuum, SHIRLEY.
You will love it. I've had two of them.
Amazing that Isla has returned. That's a miracle. Didn't think we would see her again.
Thank God SHEP fought off the intruder and the eagle family is okay. So scary!
JUDIE, great that the papers you are grading are pretty good. Better than bad and boring!
MARGY, your new avatar is so YOU! I love it.
I hope everyone has a great Easter meal with their family today. We all have so much to be thankful for.
I love us!!!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS
Happy Easter to all of you
Good morning my fine friends.
Good morning Dana, Lori, Judy, Thelma, and all my eagle friends! HAPPY EASTER!!
"A large, international community has developed as a result of this extraordinary pair of eagles." KWL
I think this is the first time I've actually read the words Steve wrote about our blog.
Good Morning and Happy Easter, THELMA, SANDI and JUDYE!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter.
My chore today, and I should have none, but it will be writing flash cards for the science/chemistry//biology/physics, etc., part of my test! Started doing it yesterday. Don't think I can even come close to finishing today, but I will try. There's a lot to cover.
Shep just arrived with a fish. Belle's siren went off and she grabbed it immediately, and she's hiding it right now.
Morning, all.
Shep must have brought a nice meal in. When I brought up the cam, Belle was mantling big tim. Shep is still there...oops he just took off.
Belle has grabbed the monster fish and is eating...chicks are in the bowl...wow big PS from chick.
OK, she just flew with the food to the top of the nest, yes it's a nice fresh fish.
Shep is back from the right
HAPPY EASTER!!
The chicks are really cheeping this morning!
Belle just covered the chicks with a wad of fluff!!
Chicks are being brooded...the cheeping has finally stopped.
Belle up and calling
Belle is doing some feather ruffling and calling out like she's trying to scare something away.
Alarm calling...she has the chicks covered...
Shep in the nest, alarm calling too.
Now Shep is in the nest and both are calling out! Uh oh!
they are both puffed up...calling and looking all around...something overhead...around...
And then it stops...intruder must be flying further away.
Shep was right up in the tree, and flew down to defend the nest if necessary. Good boy, Shep!
Ha, did he drop in with a fish, too?
OK, all is calm now! Great job by both parents!! Belle got the chicks covered and Shep got to the nest in a hurry to protect his turf and his family!
Both are still very alert and looking around.
Good job Shep.
Happy Easter morning to everyone.
Missed the drama but all was quiet when I looked in on the nest although Belle and Shep were both there. See breakfast remnants.
Isla has company and she's just as chirpy and fussy as ever.
Lori, I think you asked about retirement. Yes, I have decided that this will be my final semester. The question is when to give notice to the horrible person who runs the department. Nice would be mid-May, spiteful would be mid-August.
Michael should be having a wonderful Easter in Ft. Bragg. Will be thinking of Christine tomorrow.
BBL
Good morning,
Happy Easter, everyone. The birds are chirping in my backyard, and a fat robin is sitting on the fence.
George was sitting in his window seat awhile ago, and he got all twitchy watching the birds out there.
Need to go check on our Lady Ilsa. So good that she has returned.
Oh, the vacuum worked wonderously well. I got some stuff with it that you are supposed to sprinkle on your carpet. Says it keeps new carpets like new. Not sure what it might do for old carpets. I must investigate.
Congratulations, Judie, on your decision. Sorry your department chair is so difficult. That can make your workday hard to endure.
Good Morning all. Happy Easter
good morning everyone!
HODA: my condolences....and hugs to you and your family.....
yesterday was busy: i ended up working in the yard despite the lack of sunshine...it was in the 50's and cloudy, so a sweatshirt and jeans sufficed. i planted the last of my bulbs.....took care of some grass that had the audacity to be popping up where i didn't want it, moved some rocks around, etc. i even mowed the back yard!!!!!
just being outside lifted my spirits! its been so gray this winter, i have felt a little blah.
oh yeah, and the dogs all got their baths. everyone is sufficiently clean and insulted all at the same time! lol
then the bathroom and i get a good scrubbing !
today, the usual suspects are coming over for a cookout. wish the sun would peep his head out.....but no such luck. at least its not actively raining!!!!! on the grill will be the usual burgers and hot dogs....everyone is bringing something.
tomorrow back to work and SCHOOL. countdown now til school is out...may 24. kids have the big TCAP (tennesee comprehensive academic p????? tests) the 3rd week or so of april, so things will be buzzing in the school house.
i hope olivia doesn't have to do summer school this year. i have a meeting with the S (support) team on Tuesday.....am going to inquire. last year they didn't tell us til a couple of days before school was out. i was upset as we had planned that 10 day trip to florida. so therefore, she only went for 2 weeks to summer school...she could have used the full four weeks...but....
and tuesday, hopefully we will have FINALLY reached a decision regarding her math.....this has been the most frustrating thing! i understand that they have to evaluate, etc and try interventions....but its been since september.....it just feels LONG right now.
anyway, enough fussing about that. its an ongoing battle...
hope everyone has a lovely day....enjoy your family and friends. I ditto what Hoda said about this being a journey. Mom used to say we are just visitors here....and someday we will all return home. Make today a super part of that visit....hug people just a little more, encourage them a little more, and take in the sweetness of life.
Have a SUPER EAGLE DAY! light, love ,hugs and smiles to you, and you and , yes you too! :D
May everyone have a Blessed Easter Sunday
Thanks for all the comments concerning the intruder this am. I have a feeling we will be troubled for a while longer with that problem.
Oh My - there is the 400 split approaching. Going to get my day started..
Once again - Happy Easter Day ♥
Happy Easter to all. Been away for a while. Lost cam for a few days and see now it was fixed. Thanks to all that were involved. Looks like all is well at the nest. Hedgie and Shamrock are growing. Was going to get our licenses this morning and head out to fish somewhere...the clouds tell me that most likely will not happen. Hope everyone and everything has been well for all here. Can't remember if I updated my mother-in-law's surgery. Things went good. She had about a 5 inch vertical cut in her arm where the tumors were removed. She also got one of those chairs that help lift you out and really enjoys it. Thanks again for your thoughts, kind words and prayers during that time. I'll try and check in more often but we have a 3 day sale next week and then I'm vacation. Should be heading to Delaware to visit family on vacation.
