Lolly said...

Whoops, did the split and did not expect it!

Hoda said...

Sounds like a great day and well deserved rest now JANET.

Oh LOLLY I see JACK was not kidding!!! Garter snake you said. They are not poisonous right???
How is the foot now? Still itchy??? Did you use Benadryl?

I hope you get some rain in Texas. Glad it is cooler.

Hoda said...

We are on PANDA watch I hear.
I am on bear watch hoping to hear from MISS LYNNE soon!!!
75 here presently headed down to 48 thank God.

Pictures of family gathering are great WANDA. Loved the story of JAYDEN taking GG in to get her rest. Cute.

Hoda said...

The Duchess of Cambridge is at her parents outside of London. Prince William is on leave from Search and Rescue. She sent him packing to play polo. Everyone is confident baby will not arrive this weekend. The Prince is on leave for ten days. Her Majesty's obstetrician is due to deliver the baby. He also delivered Prince William and Prince Harry. Natural child birth is what is expected.

Judie said...

Good late evening.

Well, Lolly escaped a snake attack. Lucky Lolly!

Hoda, so sweet of the dragon boaters to treat your hostess so graciously. I get the impression that it would not matter where you are, you would find a way to make a "family." I don't mention it, but I do think about your American sister and your family in Egypt, always hoping they are safe and well.

Happy Birthday to Jo's grandson. Hope he had a wonderous day. Also hope Michael and his girls had fun.

Paula, there is a better position waiting for you. We are all here to support you.

Diann, thinking about getting the Samsung Tablet. Will have to compare stylus notes with you.

I've missed many others but it seems everyone had a nice day. That is a good thing.

Judie said...

About to head across the hall to the pillows. Need to be sharp tomorrow - lunch with Interpol.

Sandperson is already packing a satchel filled to overflowing with sleepy dust. Will depart at 11pm. Has special instructions for Hoda and Kay.

Restful sleep for all.

Verdict reached in Zimmerman trial.

Mema Jo said...

I have CNN on - waiting to hear the Zimmerman verdit..

BBILW

stronghunter said...

Thought something was about to happen because they were deliberating for so long today.

Lolly said...

Hoda, I am with you, waiting to hear from Lynne. She is still probably in the woods. LOL

stronghunter said...

Not guilty.

JudyEddy said...

verdict is in NOT GUILTY

Lolly said...

Panda Cam

Lolly said...

That is disgusting!!! The verdict.

stronghunter said...

He will still have a very difficult life, Lolly.

JudyEddy said...

and they interrupted the end of my show and it was the last one of the season

Hoda said...

Lunch with Interpol???
JUDIE!!!
This should be interesting with already lots of stories.

I do not understand the Florida Verdict!!!
Sorry...
How can a black teenager get killed on the streets for going to the store to buy pop and skittles?
Walking me through this one JUDIE SHIRLEY JO or anyone who has been following this!!!

Hoda said...

Please!

Lolly said...

I do not understand either, Hoda. Very scary!

Mema Jo said...

Judie will have a professional comment on the Not Guilty verdict I'm sure. We all have emotions but in a court of law it is only the facts and how they are presented.

Hoda said...

Thank you JO
God Bless

Mema Jo said...

Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
God Bless

TTUT I ♥ us ♥

stronghunter said...

I was not really surprised because I think there was reasonable doubt. I think what Zimmerman did was stupid, but the prosecution could not prove that Zimmerman shot the boy without provocation.

Judie said...

S#*@#T and more S#*@#T. I am disappointed.

Following the guidelines of "beyond a reasonable doubt" in a court of law does not always correspond to the court of common sense. MHO: we have the greatest imperfect legal system in the world. Keep in mind that Mr. Zimmerman's life will never be the same and he will, in fact, likely always be looking over his shoulder. Not a pleasant way to live. He will live in his own private hell.

stronghunter said...

I kept thinking about the testimony of Rachael,the girl who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin. From everything she said, it seemed to me that she she knew there was going to be a fight, that the boy was going to start something.

That put doubt in my mind.

Hoda said...

Thank you JUDIE and SHIRLEY. Beyond Reasonable doubt
was not proven.
His life will be easy!
He will write a book
There will be a made for TV movie.
He will join the speaking tour circus and make even more money!!!
He will live in a gated community and be protected.

stronghunter said...

Interesting, Hoda. I don't know about that. We will see.

Hoda said...

Good night.
God Bless us all.

paula eagleholic said...

Judie. you asked. about Gettysburg..it is only 15 minutes from my home inEmmitsburg...easy commute.

Happy birthday to. Jo's grandson.

paula eagleholic said...

Heard about the verdict too...shame.

Niece caught some fish todday...we will have them with breakfast.

Bro fixed the drain under the fishing shed...which is actually another small mobile home...but it is all set up for cleaning fish..have fishing rods and boat stuff in it. Italso has a 1/2 nath.

paula eagleholic said...

Had smores around the campfire tonight...everyone is all showered and in bed.

SED love and hugs for all

Hoda said...

Sleep well PAULA.
I came to see if you and MARGY CHECKED IN.
MARGY is still not in.
LYNNE is communing with the bears!!! I hope she is safe.
Sand person is supposed to have special package for me and KAY... Oh where oh where is he???

Good Night or it is Good Morning,
Well, Both I Guess!

I'm caught up on the posts...
want to send Feel Better
wishes to PA NANA
in particular...
We'll try to behave as you will be watching us :)
Post when you can but
take it easy

magpie said...

For Paula,
thanks for updating us on the
Salisbury job...
sounds like the Gettysburg
job has a lot of appeal and I hope
you get that one if it is your heart's desire

magpie said...

Just as an FYI:
I am ALSO having some computer
problems....something very wonky
going on with the Wireless Modem for the laptop....says I am using enormous amounts of megabytes =
gigabytes = $$$
so techies are looking into that
and I'll be lying real low for awhile, and also be trying to get my PC up and running....

James's Mother and Grandfather will be in town [from Florida where they live] Sunday (today!)for 10-14 days or so....

AND I might be headed back to
work very soon .....
SO, I'll do my best to stay
tuned in but won't have much
ability to chitty chat very much

Best Wishes to Every One in the
meantime, for good health, enjoyment, and a general easy go of things....
Don't be a'worryin' about me, though I know it means you Care and that is very kind.....
Jewels would know if anything is "up" or "down" with me and would let you know for sure

magpie said...

On that note, I'm going to hit the sack (I did have a 2-hr nap a few hours ago)....

I wish I could stay and make some more remarks about the many wonderful things I have about on the blog...but....I have to run along,

and say:
Prayers for Wellness All Around, and for Safety and Joy Amongst Us and Our Loved Ones

God Bless Us,
Every One xoxo

Sandi said...

Good Sunday morning my eagle friends! The live cam came up for me - MT tree - but now the screen has gone to gray.

Paula, sorry about the job in Salisbury. Things work out the way they're supposed to so I guess it wasn't the job for you.

Janet, great news on the pool. Do you notice a difference on your skin with the salt water pool vs. a chlorine one?

Attending a 4th birthday party for a neighbor's dog this afternoon. We'll take Bella but will leave Bandit home.

Need to catch up on last night's comments on the blog - BRB!

Sandi said...

Cam is back - seems to be refocusing/adjusting itself - I assume automatically since no one is at NCTC at 7am on a Sunday morning.

Just read that Cory Monteith from the cast of Glee was found dead in a hotel room in Vancouver at age 31. He had checked into rehab just a few months ago. How sad.

Juvie just landed at the top of the tree. I love to watch the fly ins and take offs - such beautiful birds!!

Have a great day all!

Lori O. said...

Good Morning everyone!!!

Windows are all steamy, so I guess it's pretty humid out.

SANDI, that is sad about Cory Monteith...Hard to believe he was 31.

Then there's the Zimmerman verdict. Appreciated all your views. Feel bad for Trevon Martin's parents and family.

JUDIE, what's this lunch with Interpol??? Jaw dropped when I saw that one.

PAULA, sorry about Salsbury, but there'll be something better for you. Wait and see. The Gettysburg gig sounds great!

JANET, are you enjoying the pool again today? You place sounds lovely, all the things you are doing to it.

What's up with LYNNE2 bear hunting?

Have a good morning at church, LOLLY. Hope you get some rain!

MARGY, sorry about your laptop problems.

HODA, good on you for celebrating Donna. I'm sure she loved every minute of it. Very nice of you.

KAY, how was your evening with Seth and Malcolm? Or did Malcolm get to come over?

Have a good day all. There'll be a nap somewhere in mine. I didn't sleep at all last night. Wanted to mow the yard this morning but it's wet. Supposed to be 91 today.

Janet said...

good morning all !

PAULA: smores last night and fish with breakfast! :) Sounds good.

HODA and others: personally, I agree. our reasonable doubt does not always agree with common sense...i could list several big cases where that applies! and it angers me as well! i solace myself with my belief in the rule of three, that which you do comes back to you 3x. aka: what comes around goes around....but sometimes, it just doesn't seem right what our courts do and don't do....

SANDI: the pool water is much "softer" and no chlorine smell! salt, of course, can be dehydrating, but the level of salt is about the same as the level of salt in your eyes so it is really very little. it doesn't burn and doesn't taste salty, maybe the tinest bit...but not really. the water is crystal clear and perfect.

the key to this pool system is the maintenance. example: yesterday i dipped one of those test strips, the levels were perfect. there is a chamber on the pump called the permasalt chamber. it has rods in it and it ionizes copper into the water. it has been on the highest setting since we started it, so i dialed it down (as per the instructions) 2 numbers. this is how you keep the alkalinity and ph balanced...with that chamber. other than that, every 2 weeks i put in 1 bottle of something and 1 small bag of another thing (have to look to see what the names are) and that's it beyond scooping out leaves and such. pretty simple.

we worked our buns off yesterday, planning on doing less today. i need to do laundry and a few things. kids may come over to swim. but mostly, a more chill day.

it is cloudy this morning. 40% chance of rain showers today. good thing i mowed yesterday.

everyone have a beautiful day. light and love to all! (((hugs))))

WVJerry said...

Good morning everyone. Looks like a lot going on with everyone here. Hope things can be good for you and yours. Can't see much at the Cam this morning. Saw comments on more eagle nests in our area. I think that is great news. Been several years since I've been to Hilltop House...actually thought it was not there anymore. I second Jo's comment about view from the grounds. Have grass mowing on the agenda for today and golf tomorrow at Front Royal, VA. Take care all and best wishes for the day.

Janet said...

Posted some pix from around the house and pool on my blogsite if you are interested. :) Hugs to all

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING ☼
I was up late watching the ZIMMERMAN "after verdict interviews" and tuned it in first thing this morning, trying to find something that might change my mind about the outcome of the trial. Nothing said changed my mind...NOT GUILTY, because there was reasonable doubt in my mind...not saying Zimmerman was 'pure as the driven snow', but there almost always is reasonable doubt if the victim cannot tell his/her story.

Have to get out of here...have a BLESSED SUNDAY ~♥~

Judie said...

Good sunshiny morning!

Quiet day planned. May get some school-type books put back on the shelf this afternoon and try to get some laundry done this afternoon/evening before the horrid heat arrives.

Lori, I have a friend and former police student who is a supervisory agent with Interpol. Would not have her job on a bet - works child sex/exploitation cases. We have lunch every month or two. Nothing sinister.

Thank you, Paula. That would be a sweet commute.

Wishing everyone a lovely day. BBL

Lolly said...

A very happy Lolly saying....Good morning! It's raining!!!!! Has been since I got up, a slow steady rain. It is also 74!!! It is raining all over Hawkwood!!! On my flowers, on my trees, on my lawn. God is Good!!!!! PTL

Shame on me...I went to bed without saying good night. Had my nose in my kindle.

I admit I did not follow the trial, but I am so tired of guns and killings!

No yard work today after church. Guess I will just read, insert big smile, and maybe a little house work.

Mema Jo said...

Good morning to all ♥

We had some really late Night Owls on here last night.
After Mass last evening we took our
daughter to the Out Back and enjoyed our meal. I love their Raspberry Iced Tea. Steaks were delicious also!

No special plans for today or even for the whole week except to stay cool. That means inside in the AC

Wishing all of you to have a good relaxing day! ♥

Mema Jo said...

Good for the rain to be there, Lolly!

Lolly said...

I am off1 Have a great Sunday!

JudyEddy said...

HELLO Eagle buds

Bob Quinn said...

Hey all! Been a long time. Sorry about that. Beautiful day so far ont the MD Eastern Shore. Hoping to get out to BW later today.

JudyEddy said...

TREE is trimmed over the drive way mine I didn't do neighbors yard the house is for sale
I use to go over and let them know I was going to be in their yard but being no one lives there I don't know

JudyEddy said...

ATTIC and NEST is MT
need to go do the porch now

Hoda said...

LOLLY has rain! Yay

BOB checked in. Yay look forward to pictures.

JANET posted pictures of her paradise. Glad it is looking up for your outdoor area

LYNNE is still missing... It's me bear... It's me bear.

Lolly said...

73, have opened the house. Unbelievable for middle of July!

Also, up to almost 8 tenths of an inch. Hoping it continues, like they predict. Time will tell.

Lolly said...

Hmmmm???? Panda cam is down. ????

Jack is fixing us some potato soup for lunch. Another unheard of thing in July. Love it!

Hoda said...

Soup in Texas in July?
No way!!!
Vichyssoise cold soup perchance?

Lolly said...

Nope, hot potato soup!

Cleaned refrig, then mopped and cleaned the bathroom. Now off to the grossssserie store!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - do you mean the GA panda cam that was on watch at LunLun's den?

Lolly said...

Yes, Jo, I meant that cam, but it is on now.

stronghunter said...

Looks like a small bird of some kind sitting on the Y branch right now.

Lolly said...

Just got home and it is still gently raining. High today at our house 74. Hee hee hee!

Mema Jo said...

I meant to say the Panda cam at Atlantic GA zoo which is on Birth watch for the 4th cub....

Mema Jo said...

OK yes, it is on now... Looks like a panda nap is in order..

JudyEddy said...

There is a tiny bird up on the top branch above the attic small little bird

Lolly said...

Jack is cooking breakfast for dinner. I will enjoy this!

Mema Jo said...

hope that everyone is enjoying their day - Staying cool either in AC or a pool.

Going to watch some TV and then head to bed earlier then normal.
No special reason - I just need to get a good book.
Did you see where J.K. Rowling wrote The Cuckoo’s Calling - it is a fictional mystery novel under a false name.

Mema Jo said...

Have a good night and God Bless

S E D and AOYP

Hoda said...

Yes I saw that JO. She is an excellent writer.

LOLLY JACK prepared lunch AND supper? Lucky gal.
Does he do dishes too???

Where has LYNNE gone really? She should be home by now.

Lolly said...

Hoda, Jack does the dishes every night. I am spoiled. He vacuums, does laundry. He does not clean bathrooms, dust, or mop. LOL He also takes out the garbage without being asked.

Lynne was not coming out of the woods til she saw a bear. She must still be in the woods. :)

Hoda said...

LINDA is on FB. Told her we missed her she said she will be back soon she promised.

LOLLY it is a blessing that you both have each other.
God Bless

Lynne2 said...

I'm out of the woods. And that is all I will say for now! Because I am a brat! Very tired....

Lolly said...

Well, Brat, glad the bear did not eat you! Welcome back, even though you are a brat! :)

magpie said...

Hello and Good Night, Eagle Pals...
from the land of the mysterious
Gigabytes....
James's mother and grandfather arrived this afternoon....
is nice to have them visiting...


Best Wishes for Sweeeeet and Cool Sleep and
for Wellness All Around....


God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox

Hoda said...

Yes you are a brat LYNNE but at least you are a safe brat and did not become bear food!!! Welcome back

Hoda said...

Thank you for checking in MARGY.
Glad you are happy with the visitors.
Gigabytes could overwhelm. Steady as she goes.

Janet said...

Good evening to all.

It has been a busy day, but less busy than yesterday. Got the house cleaned and laundry done...again.

Kids came over and played in the pool most of the afternoon. My oldest granddaughter is sure testing her limits with her momma! Much like her momma she is!

Thank you for the kind comments on the pix...

LYNNE2: brat? maybe...but am just glad you are home safe and sound!

HODA: you are right about Zimmerman...but I think there will likely be a civil case....and I think that perhaps, at least for a while, his life will not be easy.

I have not followed the case very closely...but have listened here and there. I too am tired of the violence and lack of concern/care for other lives, be they human/animal. :( It makes me very sad.

I need to move along, get ready for bed and the like. Its been a nice day.

Sweet dreams to all....good night!

Judie said...

Good late evening.

Fell down asleep and the sandperson crept quietly out and has, apparently, made a few stops.

Happy everyone had a good day.

Restful sleep for all.

PA Nana said...

Hello eagle buddies.
Sitting here with the iPad and just realized what the desktop computer problem is. Need to check it out tomorrow but think it was caused by an Internet Explorer/Windows update. It's happened before and after I delete the update things are back to normal. Duh... Should have thought of that before. Was able get online through Firefox.

Lynne, I would never admit to being a brat. Well, did you see a bear? We eaglers need to know. Luv ya.

Janet, wish I lived closer. Your pix of the yard and pool look so inviting. My baby sister lives outside Memphis and a cousin lives near Chatanooga but since I don't visit them I couldn't come to your place except incognito.

Lolly! 74* in July in Texas? Glad hawkwood'st thirst has been quenched. Did Jack dance naked without telling?

Our forecast is calling for temps in the >90s all week. Whew! I may not get out of the house until September.

Wanda, loved your Friday Family pictures, especially Jayden taking GG to bed. That was soo sweet!

Hi to Bob and Jerry. Visit more often.

Judie, please ask your sandman to include me in the extra doses of sleepy dust. Not sleeping well with heat and humidity even with 5 A/Cs running to cool whole house.

Margy, continued healing. Jo, stay cool as you can.
Hoda, our social secretary, continue to keep checking on everyone.

Getting tired now so maybe I can fall asleep soon.

To those I haven't personally posted to, please know I continue to watch and pray for you.

Prayers for all in need. God bless us, everyone

Hoda said...

Goodnight.

God Bless Us All

Someone wonderful and kind has a birthday tomorrow!
The best of who is in Florida.
HAPPY HAPPY

Lolly said...

Nite all! SED! Rain still gently falling! :)

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Evening!

Finally talked to the vet about Emma--we've been playing phone tag all weekend! She's allergic to turkey, wheat, and whitefish. No other major food allergy problems, apparently. Need to go in to vet's to pick up a few supplements we need to add to her diet to make it balanced. Will add one, wait 2 weeks and add another, wait 2 more weeks and add the 3rd. At that point, we can adjust the amount of food she's getting if necessary. Can gradually cut her down from 4 small meals/day to 3 slightly larger ones, then down to 2 meals if all is well.
Can then discuss more allergy testing, for environmental allergies. Can use Revolution on her now since no bad reactions in the past. Need to avoid pesticides and fertilizers at this time. She's feeling good--trying to coax us to play! Finally getting somewhere! God is good!

Doing face plants here, so will say goodnight. Ken has tomorrow off, so we are getting together with Sis-in-law to have some fun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TO JUDY!!!
ENJOY YOUR DAY TO THE MAX!!!

God bless, and goodnight. I ♥ us!!
♥♥Lynn♥♥
♥♥Carolyn & Christy♥♥

stronghunter said...

Time for me to say good night. Spent the evening watching movies with Kathryn.

Happy to see that you are getting rain, Lolly.

Glad you are getting to the bottom of Emma's allergy problems, Andy.

Happy birthday, Judy.

SED, everyone.

Costume Lady said...

LOLLY has rain, so I guess I can stop dancing! ♫♪Oh what a relief it is♫♪
Diann, Jayden puts GG to bed every Friday night (that he is there). GG tells all of us that she is going to bed and after she kisses everyone good night, Jayden takes her hand and holds it all the way to her bed, then he tells her to lie down, asks her if she wants to watch TV, then kisses her nighty night and closes the door. She LOVES this routine, every Friday:)

Speaking of Nighty Nite, I'm on my way...Love and prayers for all ~♥~

Hoda said...

I guess I will say good morning.
Sleep is done!
Am rested though
Hope all are well
Enjoy the start of the week FOR IT IS JUDYE 'S BIRTHDAY
🎉🎊🎈🎁
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDYE

Sandi said...

Good Monday morning my eagle friends!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR JUDY!!!! ENJOY!!

Nest tree looks MT - picture was clear when I opened the page but now the screen is going fading to gray, just like yesterday morning. Very strange! If it's like early yesterday, the picture will come back on its own.

Sandi said...

Good morning Hoda! What an early bird you are this morning! 3am my time and you say your sleep is done??? Hope you went to bed early!

Camera seems to be refocusing/adjusting on its own. Right now, the screen is going from completely gray to seeing the nest tree for a second, and then back to gray.

Janet said...

good Monday morning all!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER JUDYE! I LOVE YOU!

PA NANA: come on down. i have a spare room with a bed, and i will never tell a soul you were here! :)

MS BOOKWORM: glad you have some answers regarding emma. so many furbabies allergic to stuff lately! makes you wonder....at least it does me.

July has returned to Nashville. 90's all week + humidity. I also work all week and when I get home and can, will be floating for a bit!

Have a wonderful day to all! Light, love, smiles, and big birthday hugs to JUDYE! and big daily hugs to everyone else!

Sandi said...

Morning Janet!! And now I can see the blue sky and the nest tree just fine ... but it's MT!

Hazy, hot, and humid for the next couple of days here in Bethany. Having lunch with some tennis friends and then physical therapy for the leg.

Have a great day all!

Lori O. said...

Good Morning All!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUDYE!

I hope it's as special as you are!



Lori O. said...

Going to be a hot, hot week around here--up to 95 -- too hot!

So what's up with LYNNE2 and the bear? Are you going to tell us or not? :)

SANDI, enjoy your lunch and PT today.

Would you believe another DENTIST appointment today? This time it's a cleaning. The hole where they pulled the tooth is feeling much better now. Just want to have my regular dentist confirm it's healing properly.

JANET, so you get to spend the day in your pool again?

JUDYE, enjoy your week off and your birthday!
