«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 434 Newer› Newest»OK back to the movie commercial is over and I will have to RR
I'll send a Texas quarter when I have one!!!!
Our lawn mower is in the garage other power lawn tools are locked in Jack's shop. All is good!
I think you guys are Sweet!
Don't send quarters.
Come up and visit.
You truly would love it here in Nelson.
I feel so honoured and so blessed with your friendship.
Well I might have to wear socks and boots tomorrow !!!
I will drive an hour and a half north of Nelson for the garlic Fest. It is longer than I normally drive!!!
Up and down the same day!!! Three hours drive total!!!
Anyway the mountains up there had fresh snow on them!!!
Oh, I am so jealous, Hoda. I know the beautiful country you are talking about. Wish I was there!
88 at 8 o'clock! Yucko!!!
I wore socks today, Hoda, but then it wasn't too bad.
Last night was chilly. I had to wear a jacket when I went out to watch the rocket launch. That was so cool. I took my computer out with me so that I had the countdown from NASA. And when they launched, I saw the rocket with a red streak behind it right there in the sky above my own neighborhood.
I was pleased that I was able to use the compass on my phone to calculate where to look...have not done much with compasses, but I got it right!
Okay Okay Okay.....enough talk about cool weather. It is bad enough when you talk about rain, but now cool weather? Really?
Sorry, Lolly.
In need of some dessert. Going to head down to the kitchen.
I accept your apology, Shirley. :)
We have sprinklers going down front. Trying to save the pecan trees. We have a sprinkler system down front but we are just watering under the trees. Breaks my heart to see the grass dying down front. Paying big bucks to keep the lawn green around the house. That will come to an end soon. We can water twice a week but soon it will be only once a week.
I really wish we could share our rain with you, Lolly...
Oh fresh snow on the mountains in BC....would be something beauteous to behold
I wish I had been been able to watch the skies for the rocket launch....I wasn't able to go out for that, but thanks Lynne2 for the information !! Glad you saw it Shirley,
you are very hip with your electronic gadgets !!
JudyE
I am sure you have noticed this, with a double rainbow, the colors are in reverse order on one of the two, and the other one is the normal
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet
I know, Margy! It is beginning to get to me. Our drive into town is narrow country roads with trees on either side hanging over the road. The trees are turning brown and dropping leaves. So sad! I want to water every tree!!!
what a beautiful post from Sandi about the Wounded Warrior activities in her town, and
Denny's participation, as
well also with Patrick and Christine's participation over the years....and more able to do so now...
these things are so important....
and meaningful
Loving Lori's grades!
You go girl...!
I have to be honest about this,
with what we do at work, and the things going on here locally...
I don't open up much "other bad news" stories....
Lolly...the visit at the school and what you are doing for the birthday boy, all sounds really great !
Wishing we could send Andrea
some cool temps, same as I wish we could send Lolly some raindrops and cooler weather...
Lynne
and all here... what you do for our animals in need and for the ones in your very own households...is really very dear
My brother John is very enthusiastic and has a real knack to spreading that into his audiences...
thanks to you all for your kind remarks
Janet: Hoping Wellness Reigns in your household and with your family very quickly!
time for me to shuffle along....
need to get horizontal pretty soon...
wishing I could say more, but...
I'm out of steam
Love to all,
Prayers for Wellness and Serenity
God Bless Us,
Every One xoxo ♥
I have quarters big time While I was watching the movie I went through my bank I got lots of quarters The funny thing is only one Fl but umteenmillion of the other states LOL
Please do not send quarters.
You are very generous and it was a comment more about how much US money was infused in the Nelson economy that one person gets five American quarters in one day.
Can understand your feelings about bad news, Margy.
Getting sleepy here, so I think I am going to get into my pajamas. Haven't done too much today--well, I took Hunter to football practice and hit the bowling alley for three games. I actually did okay at bowling today. That was nice.
I am sure the Canadians get plenty of American money, Hoda. I remember getting Canadian coins from time to time the summer I worked on Lake George.
Have to tell all of you, there is a girl in Jacob's class who is bigger. She is 5' 3" and wears ladies size 10 shoe. We are talking third grade here. We were in Jacob's room visiting when a lady came up to me. She is the mother of the little girl and she teaches 2nd grade at the school. She told me how thrilled they were (She and the teacher) to have Jacob there. They got the message before school started to have a desk raised for a larger student. We had a great visit. I was so impressed with the teacher but also with the students. I think Jacob is going to have a great year.
Nice to know things are looking good for Jacob, Lolly.
Now for the pajamas.
NASCAR is blind Carl EDWARDS jumped started the race even the commentator say so Its not what you know its who you are in this race That is one reason I don't watch as much as I use to Favoritism 100%

I do like Carl don't get me wrong but rules in Nascar apply when they want to they look the other way lots
It will be great hearing all of the Jacob stories from this 3rd grade. I am also so very pleased with all you have reported to us about his school, Lolly.
I am soon to close down for the evening.
Before I go I must let you know about my furry friend Mr Marvin. You all knew 3 teeth were extracted - The late afternoon when he came home he was kept in the house. He slept well and took his medicine without any force needed. This morning he ate a lot of his soft food and also the watered down hard food. So out the door to the deck where he sunned for awhile - off to the yard and down to the edge where he loves to sit. I had kept the sliding glass door opened a bit - I was here at the computer and in comes Mr Marvin with a pretty good sized mouse for me! I shuddered and holler for hubby and he was able to retrieve it from Mr Marvin as it was dead. Mr Marvin went back out and this time I shut the door. Hubby walks out here towards the door and start laughing big time.... there is Mr Marvin at the door with his second mouse of the day. Mr Marvin is now known as Mr Mouse Mouth Marvin
With that story I am going to say
Goodnight to you all ♥
SED and AOYP
God bless and keep you through the night!
I ♥ US ♥♥
JO its payment for taking care of his teeth for him How else is he suppose to pay you LOL
Very pleased to hear about JACOB.
Bless this child.
Awesome Cake LOLLY.Pictures please when he sees it.
I ,like JO ,am very impressed and very pleased to hear about his year so far...
Very much enjoyed the conversations on the rocket launch last night. SHIRLEY I laughed at hooting and hollering. Great video.
PAULA am very happy your week went well and that you are with LARRY this weekend.
DANA thank you for checking out and reporting on the nest
I hope JANET enjoyed her Greek Festival.
Goodnight
God Keep Us All.
All ready for bed. Jack is watching football, but I am ready to hit the sack!
Tomorrow church and then shortly afterwards leave for Denton.
Presents wrapped...check!
Cake ready....check!
Birthday present for Ashley...check!
I am on a roll!
Night all! SED!!!
Wish I would have slept later.Guess I am awake extra early on this Sunday morning because I fell asleep so early last night. I could not keep my eyes open. It was terrible. I guess the 5 year olds have just worn me out. The week went so fast, but now I realize it's because we didn't have school on Monday. Geesh...
Good Sunday morning Dana and all my eagle friends!
Lolly, I love the snake cake - great job! Lemon cake with lemon icing - one of my favorites! Question, my nephew Michael just turned 9 and is starting 4th grade, yet Jacob is only starting 3rd. Did Laurel hold him back from kindergarten?
Jo, love the Marvin story - I guess that tells you he's feeling like his old self already!
Janet, how is Jack - home yet?
Nothing on my schedule today - will have plenty of time to finish the book I'm reading. I do have laundry to fold and the refrigerator is rather empty so I guess a trip to the grocery store is in my near future.
Tree is Shepherdstown is MT. Kevin (younger son) has been in the Shepherdstown area this past week. Brian and Lynnis flew to CA for some training Brian had to attend and Kevin went to Ranson to animal sit. He has a number of friends in Shepherdstown from his college days at Shenandoah University in Winchester.
Have a good day everyone!
Good Morning Eagle Buds
I will answer for Janet
YEP JACK went home yesterday
ATTIC is MT
Good Sunday morning eagle friends!
DANAMO, sorry the short week tuckered you out. Maybe you can take a nap this afternoon.
HODA, hope you have a great time and a safe drive on your way to the Garlic Festival. Remember, no brownies!
SANDI, no tennis today? Glad you get a day off to mostly relax. How is Bandit doing?
MARGY, happy day off! What are you plans.
LOLLY, have a blast at the party today with the special snake cake. Can't wait to hear of Jacob's reaction to seeing the fish aquarium.
I do the same as you with the tractor key...one key and it stays in the ignition. Never gets lost.
JO, are you going to the market today, or is even still open?
JUDYE, wishing you a good and fast day at work today. :)
I'll see if I can find a Pennsylvania quarter to send HODA.
Long day ahead. Stuyding 6 chapters, flash cards, and praying I understand the microbiology part!
KAY, anything special on your agenda today? Glad to hear that Seth is enjoying school and stayed this weekend.
Have a great day all....LOLLY, remember PICTURES!
ANDY, hope you do get your cooler temps today. Bet you have a lot of fans going.
I LOVE US!
Good morning,
Lori, wish I had thought to make flash cards when I took comparative anatomy in college. Memorizing is tough for me, and I had a hard time with that class.
Knock knock! May I come in, please? Oh, thank you so much.
Computer still not right but usable.
I see Lori has a new radio station and 95.5 seems a good indication of her test results. Congratulations!
I see Shirley has a new man in her life but seems he has to stay outside the house. Congratulations!
This is Jacob's birthday and he's getting a snake and a fish tank! Happy Birthday, Jacob.
And Paula is having a lovely weekend with her Studmuffin. So happy the first week at the new dough factory was a good one.
Wanda and the Capt. had a yummy soup kitchen with leftovers.
Hoda is into coin collecting. Hmmmm?
Others seem to be getting along with sunshine and pool time and all manner of family fun and activities.
Jo, sympathy to you and the family and friends of the young warrior. So very sad.
Nothing new here. One day after another.
Have a lovely sunshiny day.
JUDIE!!! So great to see you back here. Did you get your computer fixed?
Mr. Marvelous Mouse Mouth Marvin - too funny! Jo, he did his job and wanted you to be ever so proud of him. lol
So, now I understand why everyone is sending quarters to Hoda. She will need to pay for companionship after the garlic festival.
Lori, study well and take brain breaks.
Bye
Yay, Judie is back!!
Been missing you, Lady.
Sounds like Mr. Marvin the mouser is not handicapped at all by the loss of three teeth, Jo.
Does he object when you take the mice away from him?
GOOD MORNING...
Question for SANDI:
what year did Kevin graduate from Shenandoah University? My grandson, Brandon, also graduated from there. Was wondering if they possibly know each other. Brandon is 26 now, but I can't remember the year he graduated.
Need to get dressed and outta here! Have a Blessed Sunday ♥
Yikes, Judie, something major must have happened to your computer. Hard to believe it has been this long, and it is still not completely fixed.
I haven't used Norton, at least not recently. What do you think of them? It seems they should do better.
It is nice to be able to return. For how long is the question.
Although I am computer challenged, I do not think Norton is the culprit, or not the total culprit. I believe the problem is Google Chrome. Everything was being corrupted by pop-up ads that led to more ads that infected the system. I was even getting pop-up ads on the blog. The computer "engine" would race and race and race and we would have to turn it completely off. Hoping to have Peggy in India migrate my stuff back to Firefox. It was so bad we were assigned a "team" of experts to get the system cleaned up. They took control and we communicated via computer and telephone for up to 6 1/2 hours in a day. Have seen several ads yet this morning.
If any of you use computer protection other than Norton, please let me know.
Okay, off to do some laundry.
Good morning!
Sandi....Cut off date is Sept. 1 in Texas. Jacob was not held back. There is a boy in his class who turned 9 in April. He apparently was held back by parents. If he had had a summer birthday he would have been held back and only be in 2nd grade this year. Yikes!
Looking forward to today. Going to be fun! Laurel has already posted a birthday picture. He got presents from his Mom and Dad this morning. Silly boy sleeps in a sleeper! Someone commented it looked like a Christmas morning picture. He had on his Coca Cola sleeper.
Wanda, Kevin was at Shenandoah from the fall of 2001 til December of 2005 - he will be 30 in October. He was a music theater major so he was enrolled in the music conservatory program. If Brandon was at Shenandoah for serious academic pursuit, then he and Kevin probably never crossed paths, even if they were there at the same time. If he was heavily into spending Mom's and Dad's money and having a good time, then he and Kevin are probably friends! =)
Judie, welcome back to the blog. So sorry to hear about the computer problems but I appreciate the heads-up about Google Chrome! Will keep using Firefox like I have for years! We have Avast for our computer security - started with the free version but have now upgraded to the paid version. It only costs $40 a year to protect 3 computers (just renewed the license). I have been pleased with the job it does. Brian, our computer-geek son, also likes AVG.
Nest tree is MT.
Headed outside to work in the garden - later!
Good morning to all.
SANDI, possibly answering your question to Lolly about grades and ages...in TX, the cut off date to enroll students in KG is Sept 1st. Her grandson missed it by a few days.
Welcome back, Judie!! You have been missed! So sorry about the computer problems. So frustrating!
It was 72 this morning. Yea! But, already up to 79. Will we ever get a break???
52 here this morning. Going up yo 75 by the afternoon they say.
Welcome back JUDIE. Great to see you.
Thank you very much for the article on the blind Dragon Boat Team. Inspirational.
LORI and everyone else PLEASE do not send quarters.
It is all good.
I had a laugh at Mr Marvin and his mice JO. Glad he is not the worse for wear.
Happy Birthday JACOB
Glad the rain forecast is lifted.
Was concerned about Garlic Fest in the rain.
Glad JACK is home JANET. Thanks JUDYE
Like MARGY I do not click on links with stressful news. I do not have energy for such experiences. Energy goes where attention flows!!!
It drains me and creates a fearful world. It is why I choose to not have TV
Good Morning Eagle Pals !!
Hallelujah the Professor is Back !
Let laughter reign !
Happy Birthday Wishes to Jacob!
what a fun day this is going to be.....
and last but not least:
Happy Grandparents Day ♥☺
and like Mother's and Father's Day...you don't have to BE a Grandparent to really BE a grandparent...think of all you do for so many, all of you, young and old alike ! ♥
I am thinking Belle is a Grandparent, what do you all think?
and our dear Liberty of course also...
little too soon for Shep !
Mr. Mouse Mouth Marvin,
Tremendous!
Tooo funny, Jo !
the Morning Bandit is about as
fierce as the Night Bandit..especially when one chooses to Sleep In!
getting ready to get ready to get ready....to head up to Berkeley Springs for some James time...
thinking of ALL of YOU, with
Lovins' and Hugs !
Judie...though I would like to contribute, I am the least qualified to give any computer advice! I still have a pile of problems of my own to deal with, but I wish you Great Success in solving this thorny problem!
ttfn, Pals...xoxox ♥☺☺
oh PS Shirley,
glad you got some Good Bowling in...
today there is an Road Bowling, aka Irish Bowling, event, going on in Shepherdstown ☺
The road course is 1.4 mi long, the ball is rolled like bowling, but scored like Golf...
well there you have it !

Oh Snap! got impatient for the post to go and it published twice...
sorry !
To all our Teachers and Students:
Be sure to carve out at least
SOME Fun and No-School stuff for today
Lori:
I am glad you received the red hairpins! Not sure what your hairstyle is these days...
but if it's long enough for a
scrunchie let me know ! ☺
God Bless Our Military,
Every Day.....
okay, 'bye
ONE MORE PS:
If your skies are clear tonight, pals...
look WEST about 30 mins or so after sunset, and see if Infant Crescent Moon is out....if you see IT, you will see VENUS and a star named SPICA....and up above all that, Saturn overseeing it all ☺
Hope it is Clear !!
Hmm, I am using Google Chrome. Before that, I used Firefox.
I use Avast for security, too. I don't remember what I paid, but it was reasonable. However, it is also a good idea to use something like Malwarebytes for a scan from time to time.
Good Afternoon Eagle Buds !
Loved catching up via all your interesting and humorous comments !
You don't need my input on absolutely everything but...
LOLLY, that's the first snake I've seen that looks good enough to eat ! Happy Birthday to Jacob !
JO, what a wonderful mouse trap you have in Mr. Marvin ! Can't believe his dental work didn't slow those natural urges down !
Happy Grandparents Day to all my "fellow" grandparents ! Julie is picking Seth up about now for an afternoon of tutoring/studying. Sure glad he chose a school so close by ! They will stop by here on their way back to Otterbein this evening. Yeah !
Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon everyone !
Love and prayers for all.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Need Hoda's physical address and I'll hook her up with TN stuff! <3
good sunday afternoon to all!
i must have been really tired. i would make JUDYE proud. I slept til nearly 10 a.m.! 9:59!
the greek fest was wonderful last night. had gyros (but the left off the feta :( louloumades (a fried dough puff with honey and powder sugar) and tiropita (cheese filled pasty puffs). wandered around, listened to the music which is delightful! shopped a little. about 2 hours and went home.
bowling starts tonight. our normal teammate, russell isn't bowling this year. so it will be tom, me, chelsea and a pal of mine from work jessie. we were the 9's last year. thinking of new names: chels' suggestions:
how i met your gutter
or
bowl movements.
we shall see.
anyway, not a lot going on. its a cloudy but warm day. and btw, HODA: i would LOVE to visit you...maybe ...one never knows.
and LORI: if i see keith u i shall send him your way if you will send garth b. to mee! :) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Hugs and love to all!
Good afternoon to all and all you grandparents enjoy your day - you do make a difference for our next
generation!
So glad you are back Judie!
Can't you just delete the Google Chrome operating system and install
Firefox. I guess it concerns a bit more technical approach .
Shirley - the one mouse of Marvin's that was brought into the house - when hubby snatched it without seeing it being done - Mr Marvin was frantically looking around wondering where the heck did it go.....
Dana - enjoy the soccer games today and hope your k- students spot you.
Sandi - get your nose into your book!
Everyone just 'chill out' today and enjoy ♥
Home from church, mopped floors really quickly and now ready to head out. Will pass on to Jacob the birthday wishes.
Will be home tonight to watch the Cowboy/Giants game. So, it will not be late when I return.
Later Gators...have an enjoyable day. 90 here now....sigh.....
Happy Birthday, Jacob!
Judie, I use Microsoft Essentials. I became disgruntled with paying $75 per year for Nortons and it did not do anything. I run Spybot Search and destroy and it was always catching adware and spyware that Nortons never saw. Essentials is free, runs in your tray and you never know it is there.
Again, I have it on two laptops, one of which is on all the time and it has not had the first problem. You have to have a Window's OS and that is the only requirement. I use Firefox and rarely IE. It has gotten excellent reviews from CNet and Reddit just to name a few. And it's free. Just thought I would share.
I have used Spybot Search and Destroy, too. My sons told me about Spybot and Malwarebytes.
For anyone who owns a Kindle and loves cats, this book is a free download today - The Cat Manual, by Michael Ray Taylor. Here's the blurb for it:
"Humorous advice for cats, by cats.
The author “discovered” the feline world’s best-kept secret in a file hidden on his mother’s computer by her cat, Cleo, and now shares it with humanity for the first time. Topics covered range from avoiding visits to the vet, to the artful display of captured prey, to getting in the way of a human trying to read anything, including this paragraph. Upon publication, Cleo denied authorship and hired a team of lawyers, all of whom have their claws out, but despite her best efforts, word is spreading:
The Cat Manual is hilarious for cat-lovers of all ages."
Back to my book - I'm 89% finished reading it. Predictable but entertaining.
Poor Marvin. But you really don't need him messing with a mouse.
I remember Susan's kitty Soliel caught a mouse in Susan's apartment once. They took the mouse away from Soliel and she meowed as if to say, "Hey, that was MY mouse." Soliel was a little fuzzy princess of a kitty. Susan and her roommates were very surprised she caught a mouse.
They figured it arrived in their apartment inside a box that was delivered earlier. I think they had three cats at the time. A mouse would not last long.
Sounds very interesting, Sandi. I really think I need to invest in my own Kindle. I bought them for my sons.
Will is busy re-working the lawn with his new toy. He has added a pull-behind grass catcher, so he is picking up all of the piles of cut grass he left before.
Shirley, where is Will going to dump all of the grass. I am fortunate to have a lawn that has a wooden area at the end of it.
Enjoy your evening Lolly
Not sure how well the Cowboys are going to perform tonight!
I have a few Cowboy fans in the family...
Looking for my dinner now...
BBL
Hello home from work
I see JUDIE is back so glad she showed up and not JUFIE
Did you see STEVE in in Gettysburg was on facebook
I use Google Chrome and have no issues and I have NORTON (which I purchase the disc once a year at work I get a 10% discount on it) instead of through Norton online Plus my cable co runs a security on all of it clients puters just in case I also use IE but like chrome because it doesn't have such a large area on tip of the page compared to IE tool bar area is what I speak about
Happy Grand Parents Day

Hey this was on facebook thought you all may be interested in it
Tracking of NX she is on the move
and I didn't know this about juvies
In general, a Bald Eagle’s daily activity depends on the age of the bird and the season. According to the Birds of North America online, some studies suggest that immature eagles only spend about two to five percent of each day [24 hour period] in flight. More than half of their time is spent roosting, and about a third of their time is spent perching.
that is at the bottom of the link so I wonder if our juvies are somewhere in the area in a tree

BELLE IS STILL IN ATTIC
ODD that Google has no cool graphic for grandparents day
Evening, all!
Back in Paradise...grabbing some dinner and catching up on the blog.
BELLE IS BACK IN THE ATTIC
OK you early birders need to check on the attic in the am at dawn Me will not be up at that time LOL
I was watching tv and was about to shut laptop down and noticed she was back in the attic after poofing
Margy, I can see Venus very clearly just above and to the right of the crescent moon! =) Pretty sight!
Watched the US Open women's final - did NOT like the outcome. Serena Williams may be American but she is a very rude, mean person, IMO!
Now to try to finish my book before bedtime - goodnight all!
Sandi - were you pleased with
Serena Williams defeated second-ranked Victoria Azarenka to win the U.S. Open women's title.
lol Sandi - you answered my question before I even posted....
Now I do know your opinion and yes, she is rude.
YEP pretty pretty I got some pics
TV show for me at 9:00
SILK - this is the 3rd episode
BBL
Looks like NX is hanging out close to my neck of the woods, Judy.
Jo, Will has been dumping some grass in the far back area of my yard. It was overgrown with vines and such until he cleared it out.
Some grass has been put in the trash.
As I was heading out to take pictures a uninvited guest came in a Gecko lizard
Sandi, that is cool what Denny and the merchants did around your areas for the wounded warriors!
Lori, sounds like school is going well! Congrats on your test score!
Kay, glad Seth is adjusting to college life!
Janet, glad Jack just had a bug. So hard to see the little ones sick.
Lori, my first week of work was good...was not exhausting....but the sitting down all day...forgot what that's like!
Andy, hope you get some cooler weather soon! We are going to be warming up here this week! The weekend was gorgeous!
Lolly, loved the snake cake. My Mom used to teach cake decorating, so I learned sime as I was growing up. I Used to make all the kids cakes. I taught Ajay how to decorate, now she has fun doing it as well. She makes cakes for birthdays and showers and such.
LOL Shirley, glad everyone loves the LAWN TRACTOR and wants to use it!
Margy, so neat that your brother will be lecturing at Shepherd! You will have a nice visit, I'm sure!
Hoda, what state quarters do you need? I love it when I get Canadian money in my change...I save them!
couldn't see the baby moon, cloudy here...really dark out there without any moon!
Learned something new this week...the tides are higher around the full moon and the new moon!
Lolly, glad you were impressed with the teacher!
LOL Jo, guess Marvin recovered really quickly from the tooth extractions! Didn't slow him down one bit!
Welcome back Judie! We missed you! I use AVG free...haven't had any problems!
Margy, I hadn't thought of Belle as a grand-eagle, but I'll bet she is!
Happy Grandparents Day!
I don't think HODA wants us to send quarters she has stated it 4 times now but
I just shared a photo on FB of the cake that Ajay made for her SIL baby shower...guess her SIL likes Giraffes!
lucky I went out and got the pic I did I went back out just now and the moon is MISSING clouds I guess will check again wanted to see if I can see Saturn also
JudyE, I saw that after I asked Hoda the question...I still might send her a couple :)
Good evening everyone.
So happy Paula is safely in paradise and Lolly & Co. had a lovely birthday day, and Will is enjoying his new tractor toy, and Hoda does NOT want our quarters.
Thanks so much to those who have offered alternatives to Norton. I have made a list and will ask Darth to check them out and encourage a change. I am appreciative.
Now, as for The Evil Jufie...over heard mumbling about making a visit to sunny FL.
You are welcome, Hoda. Those dragon boat ladies are amazing.
Headed to the pillows soon. Need to arise very early to make a visit to dracula. Routine. Cardiologist on Wed.
The sandperson is filling a large satchel. Restful sleep for all.
JUDIE you need to discourage JUFIE from FL tell her its to hot or something we don't need her kind here LOL oh and you can tell her we are in hurricane season and she may want to go else where LOL
I rode the tractor for a bit. It will take some practice before I am comfortable.
We are home and watching THE GAME!
GO COWBOYS!!!
Great afternoon! Jacob was thrilled with the cake. The snake is already soaking in Laurel's bathtub! lol He loved the sweatshirt jacket we gave him. Silly boy was wearing it. Had to force it off him when we went out to eat. Thrilled with the aquarium and it is set up ready for fish in a couple of days! Enjoyed our meal out. The three boys together are so much fun! Jacob was properly embarrassed when the waiters sang happy birthday to him.
Sounds great, Lolly!
Now we have a month before we celebrate Joseph turning 13. Yikes!
three boys Lolly???
Was Zacharooski there? or do you mean Joey or Jack?
Oh how I Hope it was the 3 grandsons
Good Evening Eagle Pals...
!
Paula, you do not miss a Beat !
So good always to read your posts...
"concise" is the word that comes to mind ☺
Glad to read Sandi found Baby Moon and Venus...
I could not see the other star Spica which was s'posed to be close, but with more darkness I finally found Saturn up a ways and to the left
All gone now, they were all already "setting" by the time they were visible...
but watch every night for everything changing places
Shirley:
bet you'll get the swing of things with John soon, I mean
John Deere ! ☺
Oh!
James and I went to one of our
favorite restaurants today:
Earth Dog Cafe...
I had something called Tomato Pie, wowser, it was like Quiche...
Then after THAT: had
Key Lime Pie! Oh yes, of course, because Lynn ♥ would surely have wanted me to ! It was remarkably
delicious
Sure have seen a lot of great computer suggestions on here today !
I need to get with the program also....
It's late and I won't run up the posts....
It sure was nice to "See" so many smiling faces on here today....
I would have to say:
Especially our long lost-in-cyberspace Judie!
Best Wishes for Sweeeeet sleep,
especially for: Everyone !
Prayers for Wellness....
G'Night, Precious Pals
God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox ♥
Hope it was the three grandsons, too, Margy. I know she said she expected everyone today, so I had assumed it was Zach.
Yep, had my Zacharooski today,too! And, his parents! Wahoooooo! So great to have the 3 boys together as they have so much fun!
Goodnight to all ♥
TV show of SILK was excellent
SED and AOYP
I love us ♥
Had visions of driving John Deere into the new siding on my house, Margy. And I know I had some solid wood put under that siding. Would not have been pretty.
Wasn't sure about backing up, and not sure I could go through the open gate in the fence, so I made a sharp turn through the neighbor's yard, all the while wondering how much of an angle it would take before turning over on its side. Yikes.
But I calmly pulled it back into the front yard and got off without telling Will how scared I was.
Had a great day.
I am tired.
Off early tomorrow.
Won't be on till I return from the five hour boat trip.
The passanger in my car talked non stop for an hour and a half going up to New Denver and an hour and a half coming down to Nelson!!!
I am in shock!!!
How can anyone talk so much???
What did she say?
I do not know!!!
That more than anything else did me in!!!
Goodnight.
God Bless Us All.
Shirley, you will learn. I mow a ditch, but it took me a while to get the nerve.
Big win for the COWBOYS!
It has been a long day. Time to get to bed. Wondering what Laurel did with the snake in her tub. lol They had a reason why they put it there and not in Jacob's tub.
Not sure what the reason was.
Tomorrow a luncheon to go to and then Denton in the evening for Joseph's big game. Bless his heart, he is really nervous.
Night all! SED!!!
LOL Just saw your comment, Hoda. Know what you mean about someone talking ALL the time.
Remember having a REAL snake in my tub at least once. That happens sometimes when you have sons who capture these things and bring them home.
Good night, Hoda. Sometimes, as they say, "silence is golden."
Time for me to say good night. Will need to get up early tomorrow.
Good Morning Everyone!
Here we go, kicking off another work week. Something for your retirees to smile about.
LOLLY, I'm so happy that Jacob had a fantastic birthday and loved all that you did for him...and that you got to see Zach and his parents, too. Big day for you and Jack with the whole family together.
SHIRLEY, you'll get the hang of the mower...please don't give up. Sorry that you were scared, but glad you didn't let Will know. :)
JUDIE, it's so nice to have you back. I'm so sorry about the computer hassles you went through. Dealing with Peggy is never fun.
Oh well, I got up early to study since I didn't get all of it done over the weekend. There's got to be a way to make more time in a day.
I love you all, dearly. Big Hugs for everyone!
Wishing you a warm (not hot) day, with sunshine, love, light and smiles.
Good morning Lori and all my eagle friends.
Judy, Belle is still perched in the tree!
Shirley, I have never ridden a lawn tractor either - i bet it would be a little scary til you get the hang of it!
Paula, you'll get very in tune with the moon and those tides as you live so close to water that could threaten your house!
Brian is in CA for some kind of training. Yesterday, he and Lynnis went to Disneyland. Brian posted on FB that Space Mountain was a lot more fun this time (24 years after we all went as a family). He also posted, "Just left the happiest place on earth." Cute thought!
First full week of school! I can do this! Make it a great day everyone!
good monday morning. made it thru the weekend....
bowling started last night. our new team mate will work out well i think. she is slightly older than chelsea, veyr positive and bowls well. b ut she doens't take it seriously. she has fun like the rest of us.
we lost. suffice it to say...we lost.
not a lot going on. getting ready to rock the day! have a super day ya'll! light, love, hugs and smiles!
GOOD Morning Eagle Buds
SANDI thanks for the Belle info
she is no longer in the ATTIC Odd how she spends some nites
Good morning!
Need to make myself less scary for the public then off to see dracula.
Have a good morning!
Good morning,
Yes, we have a full week of school ahead. For students as well as teachers.
Sorry your team lost, Janet. We did too--by 4 pins for the total count. Shucks.
We also have a new member of the team, and she is an excellent bowler. Very lively lady with school-aged children.
Yeah, I just told Will that I would need a little more practice on the mower, but not that I went through some moments of terror--or near terror. I did know how to put on the brakes, and I quickly remembered how to slow down the engine from bunny rabbit to turtle.
Love your cute kitty there above my doggy, Judie. Hope she won't slash at Flash the way our cats did.
Poor Luna got greeted by a slash from Lucky and another one from George when she just walked into the house yesterday. I don't think either one draws claws out, but they make Luna jump, and they love that.
Of course, being blind, Luna does not realize the proximity of the cat until it is too late. I wish she would give them a loud "woof!", but she is too much of a lady to do that.
Hope all goes well at the Dracula place, Judie.
Hope the day of classes goes well, Lori. I so admire you for taking on such a challenge.
Will had some friends over yesterday, and they told me how excited he was about the new lawn tractor. I think he might wear out the grass. I don't know how many times he has driven back and forth over the lawn.
Will need to make time for bowling practice today. The alley does not open until noon. New hours this year. At some point, I will get this right.
Good Morning, Eagle Pals
the nest is unoccupied,
the branches are motionless
and the skies are cloudy
but it's there for us to watch!
Hot Diggity, Lolly DID have the three grandsons and all the big people together too!
This is a very happy thought!
Shirley, I do have this image in my mind of your tractor escapades....
I really am sure you will get the hang of it, and then you will be so surprised about it, when compared to the just beginning..
Bowling: my father loved to play, and loved to watch it on TV...."us kids" would go to the bowling alley for his league play ...I loved the whole sound of everything, people noise, pins, and all that.
We all went bowling as a family sometimes too, that was before gutter guards :)
Oh Hoda...I do know of that
non stop chatter from a passenger in a vehicle :(
I hope your day today is wonderful and noisy in the ways that please you
and on that note,
it's time for me to get busy
on a few of the 200 or so things that are constantly on my list
Best Wishes for a very nice day today, no matter what is on YOUR dance cards
xoxox (( ALL DAY HUGS ))
♥
wowser
just saw a large bird soaring in the background and then a flock of
about 20 somethings racing past the nest
I do notice that the grackles seem to be practicing their migration
flights
Finally figured why the hummingbirds did not visit my new feeder. I needed to take the cap off! This new feeder came with a cap so you could shake the mixture without spilling anything. I have been boiling the water/sugar mixture and mixing them in the pan, so I don't really need the cap and failed to notice it.
I've had a few hummers since I removed the cap.
Cloudy sky, MT attic. I think it's lovely fishing weather down by the river.
Time for a quick good morning. Have watered pots and now leaving for a luncheon. BARSEA Burleson Area Retired Educators, teachers and staff. Always fun!
Later Gators!
Someone recently asked about the occasional lights we see at the Sycamore Palace at night.
I wondered about that, too. After considering such things as UFO's and little green beings from other planets, I thought it's most likely lightning bugs, which means they should disappear fairly soon. If they do not, well, then . . .
GOOD MORNING MY EAGLE BUDLETS!!!! I LOVE US!!!!!!!!!
DON'T GIVE UP ON ME, I'M ABOUT TO COME ALIVE! :)
Good to know that, Sharon. :)
Gotta head out, now. BBL.
Good afternoon.
Have finished my time with dracula. So silly, can look at horrible crime scenes but cannot watch my own blood being sucked.
Hope Shirley gets some bowling time today and can only imagine the near-terror of trying to operate a lawn tractor. However, her adventures sure are fun to read about.
Sad to report that two-year-old Aster was injured by a bullet. Can only hope she will recover and not suffer great pain. Sad also that she was collared and be-ribboned and a hunter disregarded her status as a research bear.
Now, off to tackle some school work for tomorrow.
BBL
Good mid afternoon!
I was out running some errands this morning - I did very well all by myself!
Shirley - love your hummer feeder story! lol
Good to have you back, Sharon ♥
Hoda - you deserve a day of peace and quite! ♥
Have another great week Lori - and Dana and Sandi and I remember also Candy down south in her Kindergarten.
Paula - here's hoping you have a worthwhile week of work!
I'm expecting a visit from Christine - just a short one but a visit per say.
I'll BBL
Testing this for the next few days ♥
Good afternoon.
You have a new mad scientist on your hands!!!
It was so much fun to be out on the water.
We ran seven tests in three different spots.
Amazing instruments testing oxygen, chlorophyll, fecal matter...etc.
Pretty clean process actually.
Nice fast boat with a friendly Captain.
I was invited to join them again in October and I said I would. The dock is 35 minutes out of Nelson and the colours by then will be out of this world.
There were three women running the tests and our samples were already shipped to Provincial Government's labs.
SHAR we are here for you and T-Bird too.
Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you for coming to the blog. Very good to see you.
SHIRLEY I understand how you felt on the tractor.
I would be like you needing more practice too.
Proud of you for learning it.
LOLLY awesome JACOB birthday pictures.
Blessed Be
Lolly - can't believe that next month Joseph will turn 13
He is such a good looking guy!
HELLOOO
Home from work
Hey I got my credit score I have a 836
the ATTIC
is
MT
About to start dinner. Have to eat early and head to the game. Only 91, maybe we will survive.
So happy to find out that Sharon is going to live. Nice to hear! :)
Hi all - will keep this short since my right eye is dilated and my vision is blurry. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed something like a cobweb in my peripheral vision. Last night, while driving to the store for milk, I saw little flashes of light in the same eye. Talked to the nurse and she said get to the eye doctor. Eye doctor examined me and said I have something called a PVD. Cannot play tennis until I go back for another exam on 10/4 b/c I am susceptible to a retinal detachment for the next 4-6 weeks. Good grief!!!
Shirley, my mom's mobility scooter has the rabbit to turtle thing. She started out running it in turtle mode all the time, now she's up to rabbit!!
OK, watching tennis on TV - men's final of the US Open. I like both Rafa and Djocovik so I have no preference for a winner. Bye!
HEY does anyone understand the credit crap this is on the statement that I got with my score but there is no definition of the letters on either of the two pages I received
Your Risk Grade is B (Prime Plus)
Your credit score ranks higher than 73% of us consumers
Below is list of key factors that adversely affected your credit score in the order of their importance based on their effect on your credit score. We are required to provide these factors for all scores, including those that are very high in the range
1 The available credit on you open revolving credit acct is to low (Code RL)
2 The amount paid on you open real estate acct is to lo (Code MF)
3 The balances on your open acct are to high in comparison to their credit limits (code TQ)
4 The sum of your bank credit card acct balance is to high (Code BN)
Like I said there are no definition to the RL BN TQ MF ( I can make my own lol) and on that one I owe less that 8,000 on my home (what do they want me to do I can't figure this out
SHOULD I CALL THEM or SHOULD I JUST IGNORE bunch of mumbo jumbo to me LOL
IF anyone has a clue thanks in advance
Range of Possible credit scores: 501-990 is the scoring and I am 836 I use to be 795 so its gone up in scoring
SANDI I also have the flasher of light on both eyes My dr says its a part of ageing GETTING Old sucks
I also googled it and she is correct but in some instances it could be a detached retina so its good to get checked out
I really dislike driving at night because of it that is only when it bothers me
something LARGE just flew over the camera
I also have floaters as well as flashers
INFO on floaters and flashes and there are other links also in case someone wants to read also
here is a you tube video that explains it great I forgot about it
video for PVD which is floaters and flasher of light seen in eyes
AGE 57 is usually when it occurs or sooner or later but should be checked out
OK gonna go watch the 6 news
George Zimmerman is back on the new here in FL His wife and FIL called police says he pulled gun on them but doesn't want to file charges What is up with that now they are going through a divorce
OK I googled the codes and I think I may understand
Hi everyone!
Too busy to even read back right now, so will try to catch up in the morning.
Just wanted to check in and make sure all is well. I got a 95% on today's test....tomorrow's test will NOT be in the 90's! I'm so exhausted. Today was like running a marathon and so much to do tonight for school tomorrow.
Love ALL of you!
BBT - be back tomorrow. :)

PORT GIBSON, Miss river a 13 ft 5 inch 741 lbs gator was caught wow it look unreal from the pictures on the new
Hi, Gang,
Weather report from Anaheim: 93 here, with almost 40% humidity, going up to a predicted 99 degrees.
Keep telling myself, "Mind over matter...Mind over matter." It's supposed to be a couple of degrees cooler tomorrow, then much better on Monday. That's when the humidity is supposed to improve a lot.
Glad to hear that Jack improved enough to ask for a Dr. Pepper, and is picking at food! Hope he's able to go home!
Shirley, the Capt. Kirk video is hilarious!
Lynne2, that's great that you and Steve are volunteering at the cocker rescue!
Well, gotta go try to trim more of Emma's coat. She may eventually have a "summer" hairdo!
HAGD, everyone! I ♥ us!!!
Hi!
The post right before this one is mine from Sunday--I forgot to hit "publish"! Duh!
It's a little cooler today, and it's supposed to be quite a bit cooler tomorrow, with much less humidity! Sure hope the weatherman's right!
Haven't had time to read and catch up, so hope everyone's OK. You're all in my prayers and on my mind, whether I'm caught up or not!
Ken just got home, so gotta run for now. Will try to get back here after dinner. I ♥ us!!!
Evening, all!
Day started out pretty, but got progressively cloudy here...no sunset tonight.
Came home and weed whacked, as Murdock had mowed the yard.
Time for some dinner and catch up!
JudyE, your credit score sounds good. They let you know the factors that were listed could affect your score, but yours sounds good.
Not sure if the Skins will be on down here or not...I only get 7 channels, as I just have an over the air antenna at present. Just waiting to make sure the job is gonna work out before I go switching stuff around.
Just filed for my last week of unemployment! Whoo Hoo!
good evening to all.
i am very tired tonight. i have been very tired all day! not like me. not sure why, but hitting the bed in just a bit.
floaters and flashes. oh goodie. someting else to look forward to...wooo hoo.
hey, at least it won't be a surprise if/when it happens.
LORI: take a deep breath and just do your best. all will be well.
you likely know more than you give yourself credit for!
HODA the MAD SCIENTIST! has a nice ring! lol.
JUDYE: that's alotta gator tail! wow!
Not a lot goign on here. Ongoing battle with the young en'. picking my battles. But being tired, my patience is thin tonight.
Easily frustrated.
Wants what she wants but wants to procrastinate things that need to be done.... grrrrrrrrr
Just for today....just for today....i will not worry, i will not anger...recieting my Reiki principals.....i will be thankful for my many blessings...i will be kind to all creatures....i will do my work well....just for today just for today
breathe......good night all!
JANET there is a huge shift happening and it affects different people differently.
Several need lots of sleep others wanting to be more active.
Off to yoga.
Not sure I like this late time especially as it gets cold and dark...
We'll see...
Sandi I am thankful you acted so quickly in getting your eye checked.
Not even sure how it feels when you read - floaters are a PIA - I don't have any but know a few people who do.
Good evening.
Hey Jo. Like your avatar. Was at the big school house that day. Indelible memory. Hope you had a nice visit with Christine.
Lori, you will be just fine. Relax as much as you can. Remember,the brain works best when not exhausted. We are proud of you.
Hoda, what next for you? Nuclear testing? Glad you had a good experience.
JudyE, can't help with the credit thing. If in doubt, call someone at your bank.
Hi Paula, and Andy, and Sandi and Janet.
And now a final word for the night.
Sandperson is packing a satchel, Jufie is grousing because she cannot go with Sandperson, and I am really tired. Need to talk with the cardiologist on Wednesday.
Headed to the big school house in the morning.
Restful sleep for all.
I am hoping tomorrow we will get a fresh new thread!
I do check out the Ostrich channel morning and evening. The chat is open but not too much going on for the next few weeks.
I just may close down for the evening. Everyone have a good sleep tonight.
Goodnight SED & AOYP
Holding healing space for SANDI .
JUDIE cardiologist Wed??????
Routine? Are you having symptoms?
Prayers for you wellness.
Judy--an 800+ credit rating is excellent.
Watching the Redskins is getting very depressing tonight.
Bowling tomorrow. I did practice today, and it went reasonably well.
Need to buy a mouth guard for Hunter tomorrow--will need to check my notes on this one. OK--adult small, Shock Doctor with tether. They come in flavors, according to Kathryn. But Hunter eats the unflavored ones.
Yay, Redskin touchdown. Still discouraging.
Well, Double SPLIT coming up pretty soon.
doubtful that the Redskins
are going to pull ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles before that happens :(
but they DID just score a TD...
score now is 33 - 14 near the end of the 4th quarter
Sandi: Sorry to read of the Eye problem, and I sure hope all will be well very soon for you,
am also sorry, about No Tennis!
I know you will miss that dearly!
I like your avatar, too, Jo. Yes, that day will not be forgotten.
Janet:
You have the right attitude...
in trying to get and stay positive...
(( HUGS ))
Hoping the cardiologist visit is routine, Judie. Must not be too pressing, Hoda.
And surely hoping that Judie
regains all her strength to go with her indomitable spirit
Hoda, sounds like a really amazing day for you!
and for Lori, with those grades, Huzza Huzza !!
Wow, Lori! You just keep rolling along.
Hoping all systems are GO for you Paula....with the end of the unemployment filing,
and all things about your new job and all things Paula's Paradise
Wannabe adolescents...Janet, I think that's what we have. Likely to get worse before it gets better.
Ditto on Jo's avatar...
poignant reminder of this event
nearly ten years ago....
