Oh my Goodness, easy slide into The Split, alrighty !
Wow, Hoda. What happens if you let your teen-aged child drive your car?
We certainly do not have such restrictions on allowing someone to drive our cars. My children usually drive if they are accompanying me somewhere. Not that they are teens anymore.
Well thank you MARGY. This week IS a bit slower but still active. I have my yoga classes. I have a Yoga Festival Planning Committee meeting I have an optometrist appointment I have a garage sale prep, I have Dragon Boating and Cottonwood Market and finally but not least a Yoga retreat next Sunday...I plan to have days for bicycle transportation only and maybe lunch or at least tea with a friend...so I am slowing down but am staying active this week...it is good as I needed to put rest time in there...
"copy that" Hoda...
Enjoy your time doing what you do best in all respects !
Need to take a break and
head to the showers...
shampoo time !
Best Wishes for a Good Evening
to All, and
Sweeeeeeeet Sleep wishes to those
headed to the pillows before I return
xoxox ♥
Need to run downstairs and check things out. Hunter was the last one down there, which means the kitchen barricade is open and Luna might get into something.
Super Sweet Sleep Wishes
for Judie tonight....
"daunting" tasks on the horizon, the word Judie used...one of the
most impressive words in the English language to describe these kinds of things coming up
Well, goodness, the gate to the kitchen is closed.
Will have to say . . . the fumes were not bad when we had the painting done after the fire. Maybe Judie will be okay with that part.
Glad the gate was closed SHIRELY!!! I like your surprise post...good!
I agree Paints now days don't have that terrible smell like years ago
and I dislike getting paint not like years ago Now they mix you pick base accent etc and they add different colors Not like the old days picking up a gallon of brown LOL
Like my MOM use to say
Well I am gonna lay it down

Goodnight JUDYE
Good evening - finished a TV show
Speaking of fawns - I also saw my first one - wasn't really a young young one but still had some spots - Ran right in front of my car as I was coming towards our house. Funny that I had really slowed in order to not startle 2 mourning doves by the road and ZOOM right across the drive.
He was beautiful!
Margy - I'll be praying that your operation does the trick and gives you a lot of pain relief!
Today Andrew and Kelsey celebrated their first year anniversary. I remember giving Sharon advice on her dress. lol
Going to close it down for the day.
Everyone take care and to all I wish
SED and AOYP
Good Night ♥
OK somehow I missed news on MARGY haing an operation!!! When and I presume it is on the carpal tunnel syndrome? I just read JO'S post...sometimes when I speed read I do not retain. SO WHEN IS MARGY'S OPERATION? as of now MARGY you are on my prayer list...Healing prayers and wellness come your way.
Same here, Hoda. What did I miss?
I got it SHIRLEY...today MARGY posted that JUNE 21ST she will have a carpal Tunnel surgery on her left hand and will be off work for two weeks and she is setting things up in such a way that she can get the help she needs during this time. She might not be on here much during that period.
9:42 PM is MARGY'S post!
Thank you, Hoda.
Glad that you have planned carefully for this, Margy. I hope you find the relief you need. Haven't had experience with this myself, but know it has been very hard for you.
Okay, I see it now. Got lost on the split.
Must wind down. Have been on the computer too long today. My eyes are complaining. SED all. See you tomorrow.
Thanks Pals...
I know there are risks and I might have waited too long as it is...
I just don't want to "settle" for getting along the rest of my senior days....with things the way they have been....
I have good confidence in the
neurosurgeon team....Winchester Va is the place I'll be going to.
Funny though, there is place a block from home that could also do it....just not my choice
HOw about that! A year already
for Kelsey and Andrew
Happy Anniversary to the lovely couple...they have another 49 minutes to celebrate !
xoxo ☺♥☺♥
Night-Night, Precious Pals...
The Sandperson made pretty good
time from Northern Virginia...
Thanks Judie !

Glad you are getting that wrist taken care of Margy, You have been having a problem way too long.
Got Jacob to bed earlier tonight. He was ready and I was ready for him to go to bed, too. lol
Now it is about my time for me to go to bed.
Night all! SED!!
Sleep well MARGY...Glad you had choices and that you are pleased with the hospital that will do the surgery. Yes as we age we do not have to settle. We explore our choices and go from there...Blessed Be.
Jo thanks for your eyes and pics at the nest.
Margy, glad your surgery is sooner rather than later
Haven't read back...will do so beffore I conk out...just had my first shower in the new tub. Got the backer for the flloor tile in place. Have to screw it down . Got some painting done too. Long day. Bath for Nick tomorrow and heading to Larrys.
Goodnight.
PRAYERS♥
Good to see you on here PAULA. You are doing a lot and I am glad you are pleased with it all. Make sure you do not work as hard at LARRY'S.
Good night.
Good Monday morning my eagle friends!
Well, my 2 girls with afternoon tennis matches both won so they are in the main draw and get today off. Lena and her boyfriend left around 5pm, then called at 8pm to say she has been asked to play doubles with someone who needs a partner, so she and the partner will be here this afternoon (doubles don't start til tomorrow either). Nice for Lena to get a 2nd chance.
Jo, thanks for the nest report. Sounds like our juvies are doing just what they're supposed to be doing, whether we are watching them or not!!
Paula, sounds like a productive weekend. Now do some relaxing!
Hoda, anyone who drives my vehicle is insured as long as I have given permission. The girls have only driven very short distances.
Kevin has court today for his accident. Hoping his attorney is worth the money we are paying him and gets most of the charges dropped.
Looks like a gray, rainy week ahead here. Today is our 8th grade recognition (like graduation except it's not, since the kids will all be back in school for 3 more days). Since I'm in charge of the event, there are lots of last minute things to get done. Like 5 sheet cakes to pick up and making sure that everything is set up correctly.
Make it a great day all!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS
Good monday morning to one and to all!
it was a busy weekend. i had good sized classes and my level 3 was a new and unique experience...normally my classes are primarily female, with maybe a male or two. the level 3 class yesterday was 4 males and 1 female. neat new perspective, enjoyed it very very much.
more rain today and not complaining. everything is nice and wet, plants are growing beautifully.
i need to cover the fig tree soon so i will be able to eat some of the yummy figs that i see growing!
hope everyone has a lovely day! light, love, healing, smiles and hugs to all!
Morning all.
Up early this morning all.
What's up with that LOL
GOt some sprinkles here
Good morning my eagle budlets. Hope all is well in your corners of the world.
Sis called this morning during her walk on the beach and said there were osprey everywhere. She said one had washed up on the shore that looked like it had been in the ocean for a while. :( Her and Mattie are having a marvelous time. I do not like them, Sam I am.
Good morning! I laughed at your comment, Sharon. Then had to explain to Jacob.
This morning we are going shopping for clothes for the growing boy. He is ready to go! Unusual for a boy!! He needs nice shirts for church and shorts for play. As well as flip flops or slides. What to call them???? Will also get a couple of t-shirts to go with the shorts.
Then this afternoon have to take him to Denton for his baseball practice. I am taking him today and Jack is taking him Thursday. The drive in traffic is not fun!
Luke slept on our bed last night. Thought of all of you who sleep with the dogs. lol He started out on the floor but in the middle of the night he asked up. He was not ready to wake up this morning. LOL And, then he had to stretch a lot. Silly dog!
Good Morning Everyone!
Trying to get caught up!
SANDI, sounds like you aren't getting any down time. Busy weekend and a busy day today! Good luck with all the 8th graders! Nice that Lena is back for doubles.
MARGY, prayers for your hand surgery and getting all the help you need to see you through it.
LOLLY, so glad you're having a great time with Jacob and Luke! I can just see you chasing him with his toy. RoRo likes to play that game, but he looks more like he's romping like a rocking horse, than running!
HODA, who are you helping today? :)
JO, thank you so much for the reports from the nest!!! Big hugs!
Lucky BEV/SISSY at the beach seeing all those osprey!
Raining here again today. Supposed to rain all day. The vet is coming in a few hours to give Dalai her shots and give her a check up. She's been getting tired and very hot, easily. She may also have Lyme disease since she's been having various joint problems - front leg one day then a different leg the next. RoRo just needs to be checked for allergies as he gets yeasty stinky fast and is very itchy this allergy season.
Have a great day all!!!
I LOVE US!
Also, need to make an appointment to have Luke groomed. Never have done that but thought I would surprise his family but having him smelling and looking good. They will appreciate me paying for it. LOL
Good morning, Lori! There was an article in the paper this morning about taking good care of senior dogs. Now, I need one for senior cats.
Jack is up now. Need to get Annie from the garage and transfer her to our bedroom. We are not letting her outside while Luke is here. She hates dogs and I am afraid we would never find her,.
LOLLY, poor Annie. She'll get over it as soon as Luke goes home.
Waiting for the rain to slow down a bit, so I can take RoRo for a potty break and try to catch some of his urine. I forgot to say that we think he might have a UTI because he's peeing every 3 hours and it's never very much, and he'll even do it in his crate. This will not be easy to get him in the act!
Hope things go well for Kevin, Sandi.
Hunter is sniffing and coughing today. He has a sinus infection and an ear infection and is on medication after a visit to the doctor.
We just found out he has a baseball game tonight. We shall see how he feels later today.
Good morning everyone. Prayers for your surgery Magpie JudyE I hope you feel better and thanks for the Norfolk atty fb page info.
Not sure if no one saw or was interested in the Alcoa fledge photos I did yesterday. Maybe the link didn't work for you. Oh well I did indeed try to share. There is nothing I wouldn't give to be able to get to NCTC and get photos of our family BUT well its just too far and we can't even get on the property now anyway. I am grateful for any news we get from anyone about nest happenings there. HAGD all.
Good Rainy Monday Morning to ALL ♥
Jenny is with me this morning so I do
have some sunshine in my day!
Also I may go to Jenny's around 2:00 because Melissa and her five will be visiting.
Birds and squirrels still here for peanuts and seeds.
Enjoyed your fledge pictures, Glo. I thought I posted a "like." Sometimes I forget what I have done. :)
I put out some peanuts for the birds and squirrels. Looks like they are already gone. I saw a squirrel running around the yard--maybe looking for a place to bury a peanut. Now one is lounging on the fence.
Hope you get to visit at Jenny's, Jo. Sounds like fun.
Home from shopping. We got dress shorts for church, two church shirts, (collars) two pairs of shorts and matching shirts for play, and two pairs of shoes. He is 8 years old...youth XL. Shoes are men's size 8. No little boy here!
Luke has discovered we have SQUIRRELS!! He sits at the back door and stares. When he is out he is running the whole time. He is getting his exercise. Thing is our yard is not fenced to keep dogs in so we have to go out with him. It is 90 today! Ugh!!!
Going to be hot watching the baseball practice.
The youth and chaperones are off on another adventure today in Colorado. The cook, Laurel, is watching the humming birds, ground squirrels and keeping an eye out for a bear. Says she is practicing saying "It's me bear."
Tornado watch here and for the Shepherdstown area. Heads up out there!!
Tornado watch for the entire DC area . . .
Baseball canceled here.
Good Grief on weather alerts. I recently heard heavy rain and flooding in Culpepper and wondered if it was heading for Shirley's. Hope not!!
It started sprinkling here, so table umbrella had to come down in case of wind. That seems backwards, doesn't it?
Margy~~~~LUV your chicory. My 2nd fave color. Lady I work with at Chelsea has her own small framing shop behind house. It's painted periwinkle!
Paula's been busy but mostly at the beach. Yum
And Shar, did you get left behind when relatives went to b@*ch?
Gotta do something ☺ ~~
Learned earlier today that the last day of school was canceled because of flooding in Culpeper. A teacher friend was concerned because the award ceremony for kids was not going to happen.
No make-up day is scheduled. School is over there.
Have to have am awards ceremony at the beginning of next year!
Dinner is almost ready. Did not eat lunch so I am hungry. We will have to snack after his practice, possibly a bite of leftover mac and cheese.
I will see you late tonight!
Good idea, Lolly!! I expect they will mail the awards for now. They were wondering if they could publish something in the paper, but were concerned that some parents do not want their child's name in the paper. I think some kind of form is signed at the beginning of the year, though.
Enjoy the baseball, Lolly. We are canceled, probably just as well since Hunter is under the weather today.
Did I say sprinkling? Well we had buckets for awile!
Glad Hunter's ballgame is cancelled. Good luck Lolly as a Little League Grandma!I can't believe the size 8 shoes!Maybe all those GS's will be basketball stars!
Good afternoon all!
Sharon! Loved your Sam I am comment! :) I know that feeling!
LOLLY: yes, sleepign with furbabies can be challenging, but nice too as they snuggle well...at least mine do.
SHIRLEY: hope Hunter feels better quickly! healing and love coming your all's way!
ARGH! I missed something....MAGPIE SURGERY????? on the hand I presume???? when???? see what i get for working all weekend?
We are having florida weather.....we have a tornado watch, and had a nasty thunderboomer move thru on my way home. Was hard to see, almost pulled over...but by the time i got home.....the sun was out, but it was still raining lightly and you could see steam rising off of the pavement. YUCK! humidity!
It was a great day at work, fully booked. Am off tomorrow, but plenty to do....(does that surprise anyone here?)
Hope everyone has a great afternoon! :) HUGS
Home from Jenny's and it's almost dinner time. Thanks for the weather warnings.
Had a delightful afternoon - all the children were there and were so very interested in Jenny's new kitten, Blizzard. He entertained all the kids
Going to put my feet up for a short rest ... BBL
I am sure Blizzard enjoyed himself as much as the kids did, Jo.
Kathryn just called to say that she is waiting for a cloudburst to pass by before starting home.
We have rivers reaching flood stage here, and there's more rain to come.
Janet--9:42 last night, before the split. We missed it too. Surgery on one hand for Margy.
CHECK OUT GOOGLE
The vet came today and think Dalai's heart and lung sounds are good, but did a complete blood panel to check everything...plus Lyme and thyroid, since she's gained 6 pounds! She's concerned that her tongue hangs out to the right and the way she breathes that there could be some laryngeal paralysis...
RoRo has a very high urine ph and some protein in his urine indicative of crystals. That would make sense with his behavior.
The blood and urine sample results will be back tomorrow so will know more then.
JO, glad you had such a great day with the gg kids! Blizzard is surely adorable since all kittens are!
so sorry about RO RO LORI hope he gets better I love it that your vet does house calls You can't get that in FL
Just got back from BK Lounge LOL the summer menu is back with BBQ pulled pork and sweet potato fries
Tornado in the Mt. Airy area of Maryland.
hi all....everything fine here, tornado confirmed south of here near where we used to live. Flash flood warnings all over. We seem to be safe from anything too bad here, thank GOD!
funnel over the inner harbor earlier this afternoon, too. And a tornado in Montgomery Co.
Jenny did call and tell me that Blizzard went to sleep as soon as the children left and it was for a really long nap! lol
Have friend in Mt Airy but I think all is well. We had quite a storm but it passed quickly than goodness.
LYNNE2 How are the neighbors upstairs Inquiring minds want to know?
Angie and Carl found out info on the house that they are putting a offer on and it is bank owned so NO CASH offers to get in the way
They found out that the whole house had be remodeled in 2010 due to fire and flood
so Angie did some researching and called the fire station and ask Thinking that it was a fire and off course the flood damage is from the fire hoses water
What she found out WOW
On Tuesday, December 29, 2009, firefighters arrived at a home at 1580 Huntington Lane in Clearwater, Florida. They find Nancy Broadhead badly burned, suffering from smoke inhalation and rushed her to the hospital.
What everyone didn’t know was that before the fire, Nancy’s daughter and her 15-year-old boyfriend entered her bedroom with a gasoline can, they emptied it on the floor and bed. They then lit the accelerant, then escaped in the woman’s 2007 Ford Focus.
Nancy Broadhead
Samantha Broadhead,11
The two kids were arrested early Tuesday for attempted murder and arson resulting in injury. The 15-year-old boy Jack Ault, was charged with grand theft of Broadhead’s 2007 Ford Focus.
Samantha Broadhead, just 11 years old- is the daughter of Nancy Brodhead. I know everyone is shocked about this entire incident what with the girl being all of eleven years old (don’t they still play with Barbie Dolls anymore?) and at first I thought ‘they need to lock this kid and her boyfriend up and throw away the key’.
But my thoughts quickly changed when I read more about the story and the fact that this woman, Nancy Broadhead has a past record for abuse and neglect not only of her daughter-but her sons as well.
There are reports of Nancy Broadhead driving drunk with a 4-year-old Samantha in the car, and more recent reports of Nancy beating the child, and beating those who came to defend the girl.
The Tampa Bay news sources have said;
Police cruisers outside the house have been a familiar sight. Within the past year, Clearwater police responded to seven calls, not including the fire Tuesday, at the Broadhead home at 1580 Huntington Lane.
On Thursday, police released reports generated by three of those calls. Though heavily redacted because of the girl’s age, they refer to a runaway juvenile who refuses to come home, holes punched in the wall and marijuana in plain view.
I am not making excuses for this girl, for her actions were horrific, but it has to make you wonder what life she had to endure with her mother inside that home that made her want to try to kill her mother and at 11 ??? Her reaction was the product of how she was nurtured, or the lack of nurturing.
My point is, obviously bad parenting, abuse, neglect, drug and alcohol abuse all lead up to this. How much more can a child take being beat, slapped in the face, being ignored and neglected with a parent choosing drugs/alcohol and men- can a child take?
I certainly don’t condone what Samantha did, yet I can clearly see it was a series of things that led up to this, a life of abuse and neglect had a big part in this happening. I only hope that this young girl gets the help she needs, it isn’t too late.
Was gonna post link but just copied and pasted
Angie found out that the boy is in jail and the girl was baker acted and is in a mental institute and the MOM is in jail also
She is going to get in contact with the permit office to find out how extensive the work was to make sure that the remodeling was done properly and no short cuts don't want moldy dry wall
Wow, Judy, quite a story.
STRONGHUNTER: thanks for the info! Hope she has great results fromt he surgery.
JUDYE: good grief!!!!!! what a story!!!!
Safely here in DE...rainy ride over but it finally clleared up tomight. Had crabs and corn for dinner :)
Tell ANGIE to stay away from that house!!! Sounds like trouble and even if there was remodeling done who did it and how well was it done would be my question since it is bank owned. They will sink more money in it I bet you any thing...JUDYE
Glad you made a safe trip PAULA. and Thank You for checking in. I saw the rainbow too.
I spent my day riding the bicycle and ran errands and went to the park and the beach and generally it was a lovely day. Still working on the Kukua Pamoja project LORI...
Having some power problems with the PC....reverted to the laptop...trying to read but really cannot type very well on this laptop....
Sounds like everyone is SAFE...
reade "Blizzard" on Jo's post and thought maybe everyone went to Dairy Queen :)
A fun kit-cat lasts much longer and gives so much in return
Shirley:
The Great Gatsby, or Gatsby, not sure what the real title is for this movie.....Toby McGuire aka Spiderman
aka "Nick" Made this movie good for me...
I realized immediately how little I remembered from seeing the original
make of the movie...
the bawdy scenes were quite bawdy,
the "costumes" aka dresses and such
were quite exquisite....
George the Mechanic also was very good in his tragic role
The fast car rides made me downright antsy
but it was a fun outing with my
high school pal
Can't type much more here now....
but I am thinking of all,
happy that Paula has arrived safely,
that Lolly got some awesome shopping done, and am glad to read of everyone's doins'
xo ttfn xo
can't do Alt characters on this laptop
Glad you enjoyed your evening, Margy
Judy - I sure don't like the history of the house that Angie and Carl are thinking of buying. Wish another one would come their way.
Lori - I sure hope Ro-RO can get better - He sounds like a very loveable little guy!
Hope Judie and Frank are ready for their big day to start redoing the house.
Hey there Lynne - I always appreciate your weather reports! Good that you stayed safe - me too!
Hoda - your day sounds relaxing and beautiful. So glad you got that bike
Closing down for the evening
Good Night to All and God Bless and
keep you and yours safe!
SED & AOYP
Perhaps tomorrow Steve will give us some more info on sightings.... ♥
Goodnight
PRAYERS♥
Glad you enjoyed the movie, Margy, and glad you got to see an adult movie for a change.
I agree with what you said about the details you mentioned.
The Robert Redford version--The only reason I remember it so well comes from the fact I saw it bunches of time with my students when I taught English 11. That version was much truer to the story in Fitzgerald's book.
Things have calmed down here weatherwise, thank goodness.
I am hearing that the Rappahannock is roiled. Maybe I will check it out tomorrow.
City Dock, River Road . . . the usual places are closed.
Probably time to go upstairs. George the cat has come down to get me. This cat tells me when to go to bed and when to get up. I don't know what my life has come to.
Could not help but chuckle at Letterman tonight.
SED, everyone. See you tomorrow.
We be home and Jacob has long since been in bed. An interesting day. Usual hour drive to Denton took 15 minutes longer...not too bad. Went to the house to check on cats and Bosco. A friend of Josephs has been coming over 3 times a day. With the storm the other day Bosco went under the bed and got stuck 2 times. Boys dad had to lift the bed while mom drug Bosco out. They have since shut him out of the bedroom. But, other than that all is fine! Petted Isabelly and PC.
Then we went to his first All Star Practice. First off you have to know that his regular team was the bad news bears and the coach pathetic. These coaches are awesome! 4 of them!! It was like a boot camp. lol They worked the tails off these little guys. The batter coach is a minor league player. However, things started out BAD. Jacob was throwing the ball when he did something to his shoulder. He was crying in pain. Two guys checked him out and thought nothing was out of place. I put ice on it and encouraged him to keep moving it. He eventually got back into the practice, but these coaches were really working on paying attention and hustling. Jacob has a thing or two to learn.
His shoulder is okay, It was miserable though,...95 degrees!!!
Jacob is huge for his age and he does not move fast. That was his biggest problem tonight.
Tomorrow we are going to the zoo. We will go early in the morn and try to beat the heat.
Heading for the shower. The heat got to me today!!
Night all! SED!!
Sounds like an eventful day for you, Lolly. We are looking at a baseball camp or something like it for Hunter. There are several available.
Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg
The river is really getting high and the water is rushing.
Not sure just why Hunter's team has done so poorly this season. The coach keeps focusing on the pitchers. He works with one boy, then another. It does give a lot of boys experience, but none of them gets very much of it.
Hunter throws the ball hard, but needs to work on accuracy. Hunter has done some pitching, but then got moved to catching, and he played that position the whole game last time, which is pretty tiring.
Good Tuesday morning my eagle friends. Sure hope the sun comes out and stays out today - field trip with our 8th graders and the whole day is outside. We were under a tornado watch all afternoon and evening yesterday but only got rain.
Also, lots of tennis matches going on this morning and afternoon - too bad I won't get to see any of them. Two of my tennis visitors moved to another house - I was just keeping them for the weekend. But another 2 arrived, including Lena who left and then returned but with a new player. It's all good.
Hope progress is being made at Judie's house.
Paula, welcome to DE - did you bring the sun with you ... please??
Haven't heard from Kevin about court yesterday. Turns out, he didn't have to go. His attorney went on his behalf.
Make it a great day all!
GOOD Morning Eagle buds
morning to all.
olivia has her testing this morning....and then ice camp.
we are wet but okay after yesterday's weather. there were tornado warnings north east and south west of here, but not here. thank goodness. hate it that anyone has to deal with those things!
tom has his followup dr appt for his shoulder today. anxious to see what the dr says.
gonna be a busy day. hot too. bleech. 90.
hope everyone has a great day.....light, love, healing and smiles to all!
Good morning,
Slept in today after getting up in the middle of the night.
Miss the Sycamore Palace.
Sunshine this morning. Very damp here.
Wow. Airport in Richmond evacuated. Yikes.
Good morning everyone!
Happy Tuesday!
WOW was that a lot of rain, and some big storms yesterday. Glad today will be calmer and drier!
JANET, good luck to Olivia, and you, on her testing today. Great that it's finally be done! I know you're happy about that. Hope the Doc has great things to say about Tom's shoulder.
HODA, happy bike rides today!
LOLLY, so happy to hear that you're having so much fun with Jacob and Luke! Youth baseball can be tricky depending on who the coaches are. Sounds like you got some good ones this year!
Results of Dalai and RoRo's blood and urine tests should be back today so we'll know a little, hopefully a lot, more.
Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!!
SHIRLEY, glad you're safe with all the flooding in your area.
SANDI, happy field trip today!
Yes, happy to live on high ground, Lori.
Good morning all. Car remains in the shop. Dex and I are off with a friend and our cameras. I am glad to get out of here for a while. 2 eagles nests on the schedule. YES
Good morning!
Day two of reconstruction has begun. To give you all a brief mental image -- wallpaper removal began and revealed more wallpaper beneath which had been painted over. Apparently some form of cement glue had been used on problem areas. The nightmare has begun. Yesterday's team of three increased to a team of four this morning. Audrey and Grace are traumatized. We are curled in the fetal position.
Not caught up but think I saw Margy's surgery is scheduled for 6/21. Will mark that on my calendar (when I can find it). Meanwhile, I hope everyone survived the heavy rain.
Will be back when I can.
My sympathies, Judie.
I do recall that I was happy that I was present in the house when a painter started to apply white ceiling paint rather than blue wall paint to my bedroom walls. We did spend a day sitting in Kathryn's bedroom watching television while the painters worked in most of the rest of the house.
Richmond airport is now open again. Thank goodness. We have used that airport from time to time--not as busy and crazy as the DC area airports.
Good late morning to all
Enjoying the fact that it isn't raining again today - I think it is saving it up until Thurs.... :(
Roast in the crock pot so there will be little to do for dinner other then serve it up.
No special plans for the day
Thinking of Judie and Frank - wallpaper can sure be a hassle.
Well bah humbug and fiddlesticks! Testing was canceled for today....psychologist has stomach bug. We need to send this lady some love and light!
Sincerely do feel for her, she lost her husband less than a year ago and my suspicions are this is now catching up with her on a physical level....she had work to keep her busy, now its summer break.....
Got the house straightened up.....ran errands, Livvy goes to camp shortly...dr appt @ 3.
Time for a break! So here I am!
:) :) :) :D :D :D
Roast sounds good Magpie. I made a brisket last week. Today however, pepper steak is on the menu, with jasmine rice....and lots and lots of onions!
later ya'll!
oops my error, Roast sounds good Mema Jo.......... :)
From Facebook:
Live Eagle Cam
EAGLECAM UPDATE: The outdoor cable that provides the signal from the base of the tree to the wireless transmitter was damaged in several spots by a critter (squirrel or raccoon most likely). Replacing the cable will be too much disruption for the eagles as they are getting ready to fledge. Right now we're trying to set up a temporary camera to show the tree/nest area. We will let you all know if this is possible soon. Thank you so much everyone for your patience!
I just read that, Shirley over on FB
Let's hope it can happen!
It would be nice, Jo. I would like to see a post from Steve now. Hope that is coming soon.
Too bad about the testing, Janet. Hope that can be taken care of soon.
Keeping my fingers crossed that a cam can be set up. This would be a good time to have a view of the tree from outside the nest area. Maybe it can be a permanent cam in addition to the one over the nest.
We are home from the zoo. It actually was manageable, We got their at 10 when it opened. They had a lot of misters and fans going. We also bought snowcones and that helped us keep cool.
Luke is driving us crazy. He has discovered the squirrels in our backyard and he whines to go out and chase them, So funny! When we do let him out he runs frantically all around.
Hi, Everyone,
Have been extremely busy here, trying to get the house cleaned up as it should be. I apologize for missing some birthdays and anniversaries. Best wishes, if somewhat belated!
Judie, you definitely have my sympathy as your house is being torn apart and put back together!
Your poor kitties! Hope the end result is more than worth the bother!
I need to prod myself to get busy again. Laundry to be done, and I don't feel like moving. The doctor doubled my dose of simvastatin (for cholesterol), since I was on an extremely low dose, and now every time I take it, I feel like I have fibromyalgia! It makes my muscles ache all over. Has anyone else had this problem?
Margy, have your surgery date on my calendar! Hope it really does the trick for you--and hope you won't need surgery on the other hand, either!
Well, better get busy again. Will try to get back here more often. It takes too long to catch up on what's happening when I wait too long! Miss all of you, too!

Very happy to see JUDIE'S post and meow meow to the cats. I am assuming it is the cats who are in fetal position not JUDIE and FRANK!!! Love you JUDIE.
Thank you SHIRLEY and JO for the FB info on the possible temporary installation...
Yes LORI I spent time on the bicycle and am much happier now to have put the mirror on the handle bar. Next is to find a bell.Came in before the thunder storms and because I started to get hungry.
Yoga in a few hours so I will have a cup of tea and stop eating...
Sorry the test got cancelled JANET.
Healing energy to the Doctor who lost her hubby.
Very Glad you and JACOB had a good time at the ZOO LOLLY and that practice was a challenge but good. I smiled on the report of the goings on in JACOB'S house with the other creatures.
NO ANDY I am not familiar with the symptroms you describe and am sorry you are having them.

ANDY, I was taken off cholesterol meds because of joint aches...it was just too much. It's actually a very common side effect.
JANET, sorry about Olivia's testing being cancelled again. Prayers for the woman doing the testing.
No rain today, yet!
LOLLY, glad everyone had a great time at the zoo. Snowcone sounds grand!
Here's hoping we get the cam fixed!
Love you all and I LOVE US!
HODA, loved your pics of the Grans to Grans Walkathon...it's always fun to see you!
Just shared on fb two pictures of Joseph in Colorado. Looks like he is having a ball. Talked with Laurel and she says the cooking for the gang is going great. She plans in doing it again next year. She is getting a break from cooking the evening meal tomorrow and she is going on a mountain bike ride. (down hill!)
I am so glad LOLLY that LAUREL and JOSEPH are having a terrific time in Colorado. Glad LAUREL is going out on a bike ride too...either way you look at it an amazing opportunity to be in Colorado...that JOSEPH IS TALL!!!
Thank you LORI.
Happy Birthday Barbara Bush!
A true Lady!
Hoda just texted me. She can not get on. she thinks the server is down. She says "good night and prayers."
Hey guys on dog bless you we got 9 puppies
9 cuties to watch
Lasagna for dinner tonight. Tomorrow will be a quiet day, no plans.
Pups are cute, Judy!
Posting what I put on Facebook earlier. We are all okay.
Freak accident of the day. Buphals Farley and Tytun were playing. I heard a fight ensue. I go to try to break them up. Can't get Tytun to let go of Buphals for anything. Thelma comes running down to help. I discover that Tytun's bottom jaw and teeth are stuck in Buphals choke collar. It was so tight I couldn't get a bolt cutter under or anything. Couldn't get it loose. I thought for sure my Buphals was going to choke to death before we could get loose. I twisted Tytun's body around and Thelma worked on pushing the chain up over Tytun's teeth. That was absolutely one of teh most traumatizing events of my life. My poor Buphals pooped on himself. Tytun is hiding under my desk. I can't get to him to see if he needs to go to the vet. I am praying his jaw isn't broke. Buphals bit my middle finger.
Oh my Shar, pray you all come out of this OK.
OMG Sharon! That is awful!! I do hope this turns out ok. Please keep us posted!!
What an experience, Sharon! My goodness. I hope everyone recovers quickly.
SHARON hoping all turns out ok
Shame you don't have a Vet like LORI that does house calls
Well I'm calling it a day

Saw the pictures on FB, Lolly. Fine looking group.
Did not sleep enough last night. I actually took a little nap at the baseball game. Pulled a hat over my head in an effort to hide my face, put my head on the back of the chair and just relaxed.
Another game tomorrow night. I am getting confused with all of the make-up games.
Good Evening Eagle Buds.
My Gosh, Sharon. Hope all of you folks and animals are OK! Sounds like a big action hit if it were on U Tube! Of course, happy ending for all! ☺
Judie, Judie, Judie! More wallpaper under the paint! Want to put up panelling? Hang in there.
Might konk out soon~~~bummer of an admin/phone call type of day!
BTW, I found the car radio station this AM where Lori did supurb work, & it's rather yucky without her!
So I shall say early, Pleasant Feather Dreams and Good Health Prayers for ALL ;>)
Oh my, glad we are not in Turkey tonight. A real mess there.
It has been a good day - nothing very exciting going on but I did just finish a small bowl of chocolate Ice cream........ Delicious
Thinking of everyone and praying that you all were blessed with a good day. Here's looking at tomorrow♥

Lolly, great reports all the way

Misters - I was thinking "Men" at first - LOL - just my mindset I guess
I asked for and got a vacation day today....but it was not marked on the schedule....so at 8:10 I get a call from the supervisor.....am I supposed to be there ? I was already up and awake....think the scheduling supervisor forgot
to mark it on the schedule....
good to be watched over by the
staff though, I appreciated that.
Saw something on the Weather Channel this morning, Paula
about the excellent fishing
in the Florida Keys....
thought about Larry :)
Shirley...I had a nap today also!
Today is Fosamax day and it always makes me needful for a Nap !

xo Good Night xo
Well I am back from the land of the disconnected!!!
My modem/ router acted up...I reset it myself...The tech assist guy was very frustrating.
MARGY sorry the Sup forgot that you were on days off.
Good luck and praying for Friday.
PAULA thank you for checking in.
SHIRLEY and it will get worse in Turkey...the PM is pushing his Islamist agenda a bit too far.The Turkes won't take it lying down.
Egypt has a general strike and demonstration day planned for the 30 of June...so worried, their tempers are flaring...The Islamists there are destroying 5000 plus artifacts!!! I am disgusted!
Do you see why it is so heavenly to simply be able to go for a bicycle ride and to yoga and volunteer...a full life without the violence.
We are blessed.
Canada's worries? Justin Bieber booked a flight to uter space...now if they can only find a way to leave him up there that would be OK by me...The Prime Minister is in Europe and I would like for us to change the locks on the country so he would not come back...do you all want to have a PM for free, a bit stupid though!!!
OK enough venting!!! I will go do extra prayers for those thoughts tonight!!!
outer not uter
Thank you LOLLY for bringing my message through...
Goodnight.
PRAYERS♥
Glad to see you made it back, Hoda! Got Jacob to bed and then watched a couple of recorded programs on TV.
Luke must have had a tummy ache tonight. He asked to go out, I took him, but he did not run and go potty. He grazed on the grass. When I called him to come in for the first time he was not tail wagging ready to come in, then shortly after, he coughed and threw up on the carpet. Lovely!
He is asleep now.
Time for me to fall asleep, too.
Night all! SED!!
Good Wednesday morning my eagle friends.
Jo, thanks for the update on the cam. I don't even open the page anymore since I can't see the kids.
Shar, hope both dogs are OK - how scary for you and Thelma, and also for them.
Judie, glued down painted wallpaper under other wallpaper. Sounds like a LOT of work to remove - so sorry!
Tennis tournament has not been friendly to the girls still staying here at the house. The two who moved to a different house won yesterday but the ones staying here lost their doubles matches. One is still in singles and plays this morning. Is my house jinxed?
Today is locker clean out day! Showing a movie this afternoon and having pizza delivered for the kids. Yesterday's field trip was OK, not great, but OK. Boy was I exhausted though when I got home from school - fell asleep in the bathtub at 8:30!
Dry today but severe weather is in the forecast for tomorrow.
Make it a great day all!
I am typing this from under a paint tarp, cannot find the alarm clock to turn it off, have no mirror (probably a good thing), and we are making progress.
Hope everyone is doing okay. Saw about the dog dispute. Sorry. Sorry also about the world troubles. Thanks so much Hoda for your generous offer but I believe the U.S. border with Canada was closed just moments ago.
Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone but I am planning my escape. My plan begins with a casual shower followed by donning of street clothes. Then I will walk around commenting on the work accomplished and yet to be accomplished. Then -- ta da -- I will magically vaporize and reappear in my hair stylist's chair to get my "do" done. Darth will escape tonight for meetings.
Please have a lovely day everyone.
As with all plans, 1 hour later: there is a small glitch in my escape plan -- I cannot find my shoes.
Good Wednesday morning to all you wonderful eagle momsters and dadsters out there today. This is my last day at school :) and I am a happy camper. Still couldn't get the live cam up yet. Rats. Does anyone know if the eagles have fledged?
good morning to one and to all. beautiful out, but hot already. i took seven out @ 2 this morning and it was hot then. it is already 80 degrees. bleech. summer has found us!
yesterday was busy, but in short, olivia has happier coming out of camp, tom's doc was pleased and tom starts physical therapy today.
its been busy, running errands, etc. in addition to tom's physical therapy, my massages are today, and olivia still has camp. go go go.
HODA: i feel the same way about giving massages, or working in my yard. i can disconnect from all the stress of the world, focus on the moment and just be. although i do stay in touch watching local news and in the morning a few min of Good morning american, mostly, i find the news disheartening and disgusting.
all right ya'll, have a great day. light, love, and smiles to each of you. :) :) (((hugs))))
Good Morning Eagle Friends!!!
Going to be a hot (90) and humid day around here! I think the grass is still too wet to mow, but it's on my chore list.
SHARON, so glad that you and THELMA got the dogs apart and all appears to be okay. Has Tysun come out from under the desk yet? How is Buphals? And your finger?
JANET, you sound busy, busy, busy! Glad to hear Tom's doc was happy with his progress.
LOLLY, enjoy your day with no plans. Maybe you'll get to work in the garden if it's not too hot.
HODA, welcome back to Blog Land! Those tech people can be very frustrating!!! Been there before.
JUDYE, today is your Friday! Happy day!
Hello MARGIE and JO! Hope today brings each of you lot's of sunshine and smiles.
JUDIE, so sorry about the wallpaper fiasco! Enjoy getting your do done!
Thought I had a dr's appt. today, but looked at the calendar, and it's not until next week! YEAH!
Love, light, hugs, and joy to everyone and big wishes for a wonderful day for all!
