and we have officially split

Janet, best wishes on your physical and dental appointment in the morning...

I talked with a friend of mine in the "Tomahawk" are of Hedgesville...Jo, not too far from
where you son? or maybe grandson? was working a year or two ago....
and she saw an adult bald eagle not too long ago, it kept swooping, so she brought here cat in
right away!

Hoda said...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That was fun!!!!

magpie said...

Good Evening, Hoda....
ditto on that, Carolyn looks terrific....
!
she is one beautiful lady!

magpie said...

Dusk has arrived at the nest

Thinking of Paula....
BEST WISHES ON YOUR DAY TUESDAY, PAULA....

like Jewels, I have a lot of backtrack reading to do....
so therefore I am a little out of touch with everyone's happenins'

I did make a foray out to Swinging Bridge today, it was great, soon no more getting into the water....
but the sights and sounds shall still be wonderful for awhile

ttfn, shower and other things await me ...

JudyEddy said...

JEWEL I am so sorry for your medical issues you know we are here for you as Margy says and we will help you get through this Healing thoughts coming your way Keep the chin up you have a big support group here

JudyEddy said...

on my goodness a gal on The great backyard bird count asked a question

What you bite the head of a blue jay off ??

Lynne2 said...

Hi all, back from the mountains...reading back, will comment as I go.

So Hunter has a cell phone. LOL!

Oh, I do so miss the stinkbugs....said I....NEVER!! LORI, the green ones are our NATIVE Stinkbugs, no where nears as problematic.

Kay so glad you had a nice weekend with Seth, catching up on his first week of college!

Uh oh, I wonder if the evil Jufie had something to do with Judie's computer problem....

Lolly, shame on your son! I think you SHOULD say something to him about the inconsideration to you and Jack. As of now I am reading you didn't get but 10 raindrops...I saw the weather yesterday and was so hopeful you'd get more.

Mema Jo said...

I am here for you Jewel but not even an inch near any information or knowledge like your Mom had. But I do listen well!

Welcome back Lynne - see any bears?

Lolly - all I can say to Michael is watch out for the Karma somewhere down the road of life.......

Margy - Hedgesville - that would be Melissa and Michael's home.
Only place my sons worked one day was at Lynn's. I'll ask them about Tomahawk area.

Mema Jo said...

I'm hoping that Paula gets on here tomorrow after work and tells us about her day!

Goes double for Dana and Sandy when they get home from school... ♥

Lynne2 said...

well Jo, I'm glad you asked....

I DID I DID I DID SEE A BEAR!!!!!!!!
Picture on FB!

Mema Jo said...

Lynne - Carolyn/Jewels didn't mention it but Christie is taking her dog Kayla to donate blood.
How cool is that - it never even crossed my mind to do something like that.

Mema Jo said...

BRB Checking out the bear

Lynne2 said...

that is very cool! I don' t think many people realize that dogs and cats can be blood donors. They have to meet a very specific criteria, but it saves lives for sure! My cat Joker was a blood donor for a very sick kitty back in his younger days!

Mema Jo said...

Lynne - he was huge! So proud of you getting him away from the cabins.
U R BRAVE WOMAN ♥

Lynne2 said...

aw, shucks!

Hoda said...

A six year old in foster care was killed in Saskatchewan.
The culprit is a child under 12.
Our Criminal Justice system says nothing could be done.
Social Services could ask for psychiatric counselling but he can not be taken into custody to ensure he follows up.
Do so so sad as I do not think he will get the help he needs.
The RCMP will tell us more tomorrow. Sad for the loss of the 6 year old too!

JudyEddy said...

LYNNE2 I loved the bears concert shoes LOL

Lolly said...

Dinner over and a quick walk around Hawkwood, but still too warm so back inside. Armadillo did damage last night and Jack has set the camera. Not until he does major damage does Jack go a huntin!!

Oh, and forgot to tell you about the new neighbors. Yep, new neighbors behind us, behind our privacy fence and they have two pets. Roosters!!! Oh, good grief, this is all we need. The roosters are at the back of the property, behind a workshop on their property. Away from their house and close to our bedroom windows. Lovely just lovely!

JudyEddy said...

I am sure you heard about the mom who woke up in the middle of the night Her two kids and truck was gone
Her 10 year old son stole the truck with his sister in it I think she was 6 well he crashed she wasn't in a seat belt and she died So sad I feel so sorry for that mom How will she ever forgive her son being he is responsible for the girls death and what was he thinking of

JudyEddy said...

LOLLY are the permitted in the area ?
some city don't allow them

Hoda said...

OK!!!
I am headed off to check on LYNNE'S bear!!!
BRB

Lolly said...

Carolyn, I have been worried about you. Could easily tell on fb that you are depressed. You will be fine with the procedure. Being put to sleep is rather nice. Just relax and let them do their thing.
Try positive thoughts, positive statements...you will be surprised how much better you will feel. Say a prayer, give your worries to God....and then smile! :) He loves you, we love you. And, just think of how great you are looking with your weight loss!! Wow!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly, I guess you are going to get "Wake - Up" calls - cock a doodle do

Hopefully they have clipped their wings so the don't fly over the fence and roost in your trees.

Hoda said...

JO???!!!
JO JO JO ????
Are you eating brownies now too???
Good Gracious me!!!
LYNNE HAS A POWERFUL SUPPLY OF BROWNIES!!!
From here on in all shipments will come from her!!!
Border crossing problems now solved!!

HONESTLY!!! N

Mema Jo said...

Judy - That bear didn't have Concert
shoes! lol
Now that is a good typo, Judy!

Lolly said...

Well, the split got me. I posted and then thought "Where did all these comments come from?" LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

I finally have a few minutes to sit down at the computer!

gotta read back just a tad...

Mema Jo said...

Maybe Paula will have time to come see us this evening.
I wonder if she got some more crabs in her crab pots.

Mema Jo said...

BBL

Hoda said...

JEWELS I second what LOLLY said.
Wise LOLLY.

Cock a doooooooodle do!!!

Oh good I can not wait for the story when he jumps the fence and Jack mistakes him for an armadillo, or is it a gopher??? Whoever digs up your yard!!!
Kebaaaaaaaang?
Oh my doo. ooood le ....
Gasp out of breath!!!

LOLLY WITH PAINTED TOE NAILS runs out, not sure of state of dress or undress...

JACK SWEETHEART !!! MY HERO

Swoon!

Curtain!

Hoda said...

PAULA good to see you!
SANDI is happy tourists are gone (FB)
DANA is back home...
Let us know how tomorrow goes!!!


Jewels said...

Thank you everyone. Yes I am still attempting with weight loss. Have not been very strict, so no real loss, but no gain. Just maintaining. another thing the depression does to me, makes me want to snack too much. I just don't understand what makes each day and each episode so different from the others. But it is what it is. Maybe, I will look at this being put to sleep bit as a real rest?! I really need to get to the beach. Planning on trip with Sis and her MIL Sept 26-30 to Ocean City and then our beach trip (IF) I get approved to be off, Oct 21-26 to the outer banks. I just ordered 5 purple heart shaped Floating Lanterns and 3 purple led floating lotus lanterns and 2 green ones for our memorial there for Mom's ashes. Going to be a tearjerker time for sure.

Jewels said...

The date for my surgery will be November 5th. Time tbd.

paula eagleholic said...

No rain here over the weekend!

Caught fish yesterday and had them for dinner.

Visited with the neighbors yesterday evening and had some fun!

Cooked crabs today!

Will work on getting the house back in shape later!

Margy, I am going to be the Senior Staff Accountant at the hospital in Crisfield. Their name is McCready Hospital, run by the McCready Foundation.

New word? Stink but? LOL

Lolly, sorry about Michael not calling!

Happy Belated birthday to Karla!

Sorry Judie is having such computer problems...sounds like a change from Norton is warranted.

Forget what else I wanted to say!

paula eagleholic said...

Jewels, we are here for you. I have never been put to sleep either, except when I was very young. All I can tell you is to have faith in your Dr and medical team, I'm sure everything will turn out just fine.

Hoda said...

Oh JEWELS and CHRISTIE...
You are taking her to the Outer Banks.
God Bless you ladies. God Bless you

From now till November 5 and subsequent healing you are in my prayers... You will be alright with the whole thing with your MOM'S group lifting you in prayers.

Proud of the weight loss program and maintaining.
Yes depression drives us to snacking and carbs...

JudyEddy said...

LOL JO don't you know I meant he was ROCKIN LOL

JudyEddy said...

JEWEL I have been put under several times and there wasn't an issue at all

paula eagleholic said...

Jewels, so glad you are taking your Mom to the Outer Banks!

stronghunter said...

Good evening,

Carolyn, being put to sleep is okay. You wake up and the surgery is over and someone is there to take care of you. I've been there quite a few times.

magpie said...

THANKS Paula....and
Congratulations....sounds like a win-win situation for sure!
boy, is that hospital fortunate and blessed to get YOU !
Especially if some of the patients get to see you ☺

magpie said...

Jewels...
sounds like a lovely ceremony at the beach...
heartfelt and well-planned....



and I see this: November 5th.
Got It....
I've been anesthetized five times, and except for probably saying some
personally embarassing and revealing things about myself...(LOL)
everything went very smoothly for me.
and then I must made sure I relaxed in the days to follow...
pampered myself, actually

stronghunter said...

Well, I am now the owner of a John Deere lawn tractor. Been thinking about it since June. Actually, been thinking of getting a lawn tractor for a long time.

Will has really let the lawn go this summer, and I just can't start the mower we have. I am sure I can start the John Deere, but maybe I will not have to. I expect Will and Hunter will enjoy using the new tractor. We do have a big enough yard to justify a lawn tractor.

magpie said...

Good Show Shirley !
And I think there is a pretty neat Country Music song about a John Deere, I have been hearing it recently ♪ ♫

Night Bandit is outpacing the Sandperson doing his unwelcome business big time, so I am sending along my
Good Nights now....

Prayers for Wellness and for all our very special requests

God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox ♥

JudyEddy said...

Congratulation SHIRLEY on the new toy My parents had a John Deer and loved it My daughter drove it up there also and I think maybe Janet and Tom also did

JudyEddy said...

I think JUDIE or JUFIE sent the sandman out early

Well I'm calling it a day

stronghunter said...

Yes, morning will come early. I will be taking Hunter to school and then heading off for the first day of bowling.

Tractor will be delivered on Wednesday.

They gave Will two nice John Deere t-shirts.

stronghunter said...

Hunter has a football game tomorrow evening. It will be a very busy day.

Lynne2 said...

woo hooo It must be a RIOT being a recovery room nurse! Well, as long as all is going well. They hear some very interesting things!

Well, all this bear hunting has made me tired so I must repair to my lair. Goodnight, prayers for all!

stronghunter said...

Okay, Margy, I am sure you have lots of deep, dark secrets you might reveal when you are put to sleep.

stronghunter said...

Margy, you might think this is funny--

When we were in Colorado, we saw lots and lots of prairie dogs. One of the people at my brother's lab said that her husband collects the fleas on prairie dogs, so, of course, I had to say something about Prairie Dog John.

Last night, I sent a link about Prairie Dog John to my brother. This morning, when I finally got to sleep, I was rudely awakened by George walking on my head. I swear, I was dreaming about Prairie Dog John.

stronghunter said...

I had been reading about his studies on prairie dogs and trying to find the most interesting one to send to Jim.

stronghunter said...

We took Hunter to Jim's lab--just trying to expand his world. Hunter acted semi-interested, but Kathryn heard him excitedly telling his friend Ryan all about it.

One woman showed us the project she was working on involving the soil that washes out of areas that have burned in the recent fires.

Hoda said...

Good Night

God Bless Us All

Mema Jo said...

I finished a TV show on demand
I am tired - this labor day did me in

Everyone sleep well and AOYP with SED

Everyone make tomorrow a very special day and just start anew! ♥

Lolly said...

I am going to say good night. Tired tonight.

SED!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Night all!

Gotta go to work tomorrow ! :):)

SED, love and hugs for all ♥

stronghunter said...

Good night from Fredericksburg. Will be heading out early tomorrow. SED, everyone.

Hoda said...

It is clear to me eithe JUDIE has forgotten about her friends in Canada or domine is being held up at the border!!!
No sleepy dust delivered here!!!

I will spare you my goofiness and have hot coconut milk instead!!!

Lori O. said...

Good Morning everyone!

HODA, you still up...it's awful early, or late, for you. Hope you get some rest. Maybe you're just in such great shape you don't need as much sleep as you used to!

SHIRLEY, congrats on the new lawn tractor. I've had three. Couldn't do my yard without one. You'll love it.

LOLLY, agreed. Michael needs to hear from his Mom! Sorry about the armadillo and the heat you've been having.

JEWELS, going to sleep for surgery is the easiest thing in the world. You already have the IV in, and they tell you to count to ten, or backwards from 100 or something, and 3 or 4 numbers later all you know is you're waking up in the recovery room. We love you, sweetie! Congrats on the weight loss, too.

PAULA, Great luck today on your first day at your new job. You must be so excited, or nervous. Is Crisfield in MD or DE?

SANDI and DANAMO - Can't believe you're going back to school already. Summer went so fast! Have a great day with your new kids in class. Hope it's a great year for both of you.

Wow, time if flying this morning. I got up before the alarm at 4:30. Having our first test in school this morning...75 questions! Hope I do well.

Off now to grab a shower, get ready for school, only going to be 71 today, and hit the road.

Have a great day everyone!

Hope Judie gets her computer fixed soon.

Sandi said...

Good morning Lori and all my eagle friends! This is it - the start of my 30th year of teaching! I'm ready!

Hoda, hoping you are asleep by now!

Paula, enjoy your new start today - I'm so excited for you!!

Shirley, congrats on the new man in your life - may he never fail you! :)

Carolyn, I understand why you would be nervous, but we will all pray you through your upcoming surgery and recovery!

Lori, good luck on today's test - I'm sure you are 100% ready for it!

Muggy here this morning - cooler, dryer air is on the way for tomorrow. Have a great day all!

DanaMo said...

Good morning!! I'm ready to see those smiling faces today! Hard to believe another year is starting.

Prayers for all those in need. Dad gets his results on Wednesday. God I hope there has been shrinkage in the lymph nodes. I don't think I can bear bad news...

Lori- good luck on your test. So proud of you for going back to school, such a hard thing to do, but so worth it!!

Sandi-30 years? Holy Cow! You rock! Have a great year. I hope, you have a great year. For me, anything has got to be better than last year! First full day, here we come.

Carolyn praying for you. I hope all goes well.

Geesh, I didn't even know it was foggy out until I pulled up the cam. WOW...glad I didn't decide to go run this morning. I've been fighting an an injury that after 3r weeks finally feels better. Hopefully I can get on the pavement again starting tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone.

Lori O. said...


Time to get a move on out the door.

Love you ALL!

Big Hugs, and wishes for a wonderful day for everyone!

JudyEddy said...

GOOD Morning Eagle Buds

MT attic but there is a tiny bird on the tip of the branch

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

I heard Kathryn and Hunter early this morning. Now it is time for me to get some coffee and put together some breakfast for Hunter and myself.

Foggy? I haven't looked yet. I hope not too foggy here.

First back-to-bowling day for me.

I do hope Judie gets that computer fixed and is back on the blog soon.

stronghunter said...

Don't even see a small bird in the attic now.

Must get birdseed today.

Have a good day, everyone.

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds !

JEWELS, good on you for the weight loss ! Praying for you as November approaches--my Julie and I have both had that procedure--easy as pie--enjoy the nap ! Love the plans you girls have for your mom's ashes--it's good to think of her resting near the Outer Banks she loved so much !

Best wishes for JANET with the physical/dental appts. and for LORI as she starts another week of classes and for our teachers as they do the same ! Thinking of PAULA on the new job, too !!!!

SHIRLEY, can just see you tooling around that big yard on your John Deere ! Remember, no operation of heavy machinery if you've consumed special Brownies ! ☺

LOLLY, sorry to hear about your new alarm clock ! Jeeesssshhhh !

DANAMO, prayers continue for your dear dad !

Hugs for MARGY, JUDYE and HODA--always enjoy your posts and words to the wise !

Dog walks and Kroger are my only must do's today. Penny is almost out of food--can't let that happen !

Love and Prayers for all !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Lolly said...

Good morning! Best wishes to Dana and Sandi as they start their new year. I still have a school dream, or should I say nightmare?

Best wishes too for Paula as she starts on her new journey and to Lori as a student.

I just have to say how much I love retirement!!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All ♥

I was so hoping to have a fresh new
thread here this morning.

I know it is September as all our special Early Birds have chirped in to say they are on their way. Best of days to you all!

BBL

Janet said...

Good Tuesday morning!

I'm later than the norm, but I stayed in bed until the very last min. I know its only 1 day a year, but without coffee I do not run on all 8 cylinders! :P I have however, now had my annual check up by the dr. That's done. Teeth to be cleaned @ 11.

Wooo hoo. THEN the day is MINE!

I plan to piddle around the house and chill a little bit. Feeling tired, but think that is likely just a lack of caffiene.

JUDYE: I never got to drive Mom & Dad's zero turn tractor. Tom got to, but I didn't. I think they thought with my vision issue I couldn't handle it.

It looked cool though.

Sometimes I wish we had invested the extra money and got one for this yard....tight turns sometimes.

ANYWAY....holding all with concerns close in my heart and thoughts...for comfort, for healing.

Light, love, and smiles to all. I'm off to have a fan-tab-u-lous day! :D

Lolly said...

Just finished our "walk" and was watching the Atlanta Panda cam. Momma rolled over but before doing so picked up a cup with two paws, brought it in close and rolled. So sweet! Now cub is alone. Momma got up and walked away.

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - you typed that she picked up a cup and held it with 2 paws - I
thought she was taking a drink of something! lol I know better then that!

Mema Jo said...

I am going out and sit on my deck in the sunshine for a while.

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy all !

Just popping in at lunch time to say hi!

Lolly said...

Too funny! Meant "cub". Typo got me again!!! Such is life!

Hi Paula!!! Hope your day is going perfectly!!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Dropping in to say hello and get caught up here on the latest.

We have had an AWFUL weekend weather-wise! It's still super humid today. Temp has been in the high 90s-low 100s, with nasty mugginess. Got an alert on my cell phone that woke me up early Sunday, saying there would be heavy fog until 9 am. Riverside and surrounding areas have gotten enough rain to cause flooding, but we here in Anaheim haven't gotten a single drop! I SOOO wish we would get some winter weather! Emma's really looking forward to some cold weather, too! She has made it through the weekend OK, thanks to her Kool Collar and some cold, wet towels.

On Sunday, Ken and I went and visited our friends Jim and Darlene, and we had what can only be described as church in the home, with a lot of sharing and praying going on. It was fantastic!
Jim is doing fairly well on a 90-day program to get his breathing stabilized and his heart, too. They have home care nurses coming out for treatments, and he actually says the best treatment for him is sharing the Word and prayer! He did look much better when we left than he did when we arrived. So I'm asking for prayer for him when and if you are prompted. Thanks in advance!

Well, need to put more "blue ice" in Emma's collar, so will say goodbye till later today. Saying prayers for Carolyn, and her upcoming procedure. Prayers for Lolly & Jack too, with their new alarm clocks! HAGD, everyone. I ♥ us!!!
