I didn't mean that it is fun to read of the serious doings...had my
grammar mixed on that one also

Jo,good to hear the head cold is
improving.
Best Wishes on navigating through the time change.

Bars and Taverns relish this extra hour coming up tonight

I don't relish the early nightfall

Hallmark Christmas Movies, tonight,
already, really ?

sorry I am out of touch, folks...
trying to get a grip on reality, and been busy at work...but I am trying to keep on posts....and I
DO CARE about what's going on...
very much

Solar Eclipse Tomorrow

Lynne2 said...

Margy, you CAN set the bird clock back...all you do to make it right is to press the red button in the back to scroll through the birdsongs til you get the right one!

Evening all! Hallmark Thanksgiving movie here tonight! LOVE Hallmark!

Andy, I don't know if I'd rather be where YOU are or where EMMA is!!

Mema Jo said...

Oh my, the time is changing - I am sleepy but my TV Hallmark won't be over for an hour

Goodnight to all ♥

magpie said...

on that note, I wish you a
Good Night, and Very
Sweeeet Sleep

Oh Lori, congratulations on your
continuing good grades...good wishes on all the homework assignments this week-end
(and by the way, your morning "replacement" at the radio station, is out on Maternity Leave!)

Hoda: I'm glad you liked the card! It took me long enough to send it, eh?? but I did NOT make it, I found it at Goodwill :)

and Best Wishes to Every One on
what's going on in your dear lives

Lovins' and (( HUGS ))

God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox

magpie said...

Oh,Lynne2:
thanks! I'll TRY to remember that next year!

I saw Acorn
Woodpeckers in California, what a beauteous bird!

G'Night JO
G'Night All

Lynne2 said...

I don't like the early nightfall much either, but really, it's not so bad! Holiday time is upon us to keep us busy and before the big Christmas Day, the hours of daylight have already begun to increase! And it IS kind of nice to have light in the AM to get motivated!

Lynne2 said...

Acorn Woodpeckers...COOL BEANS! Did you see and MAGPIES???

magpie said...

Shirley
I am studying that Solar Eclipse news now ! It might take me
awhile to figure it all out
for us hereabouts....Thanks...!!
And congrats on that high bowling score !!

magpie said...

saw the Magpies in Germany, Lynne2...
lots of hawks in California though.
and maybe even Golden Eagle, just not sure about that

yes, you are so right about the daylengths...I loved the summertime this year...and wanting some good
cold crisp sunny blue sky winter days....

Hoda said...

I love the card MARGY and think it and you to be very sweet.
I am blessed you sent it. Thank you.

Hoda said...

Goodnight
God Bless Us All

magpie said...

xoxo Hoda....
I am trying to keep up with your busy busy life there...you'd best start writing a book, my dear...
the planet needs more people like YOU !

Lynne2 said...

this time change is worse for pet owners....your CLOCK might say one thing, but they didn't turn back their biological clocks!

magpie said...

looks like we need to be in Africa right away! Maybe a view for us for a partial at sunrise....have to use those cautions viewing it, for sure...

also we have a comet which could be
visible for us this month...checking that out in my
Astronomy Magazine now...
Comet Ison

Lynne2 said...

Not going to make it til midnight....goodnight and prayers for all!

stronghunter said...

I got the information about the eclipse from Rus on FB. I think for those of us on the East Coast, it will be at about sunrise and will be a partial eclipse. Looks like it will be complete in parts of Africa.

stronghunter said...

Had a nice talk with Susan this evening. She has been so busy that most of my news about her activities has been via FB. As I suspected,there is a new studmuffin in her life. It seems they have rock-climbing in common.

Kathryn is off with a girlfriend to visit an astrologer in Richmond. Will be interested to hear how that turns out. I may be asleep before she gets home. But Hunter may be wide awake. Just checked and he is not asleep.

Do keep us posted on the comet, Margy.

I am getting very sleepy. Think I will say good night while I can still type. See you all tomorrow. God bless.

stronghunter said...

Oh, Margy, I swear there was a bird in my neighbor's tree that was making such a fuss, I thought about that magpie I saw in Colorado. Didn't see it, so I don't know what it might have been.

Lolly said...

I was ready for bed but Jack has tempted me with pop corn! Evil man!

Lolly said...

We had a great day! Joseph was great keeper and they won! We did not linger there as they had a party to go to. Also, it took us close to 2 hours to get home. Traffic was horrible!

So, jack has se the clocks back and it is only 10:20' so here we sit having popcorn and G& T. See, he is evil! Lol

Can not eat and peck, so nite all! SED!

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle buds
just realized my night message is still sitting in the comment box OOPS for got to hit publish

JudyEddy said...

60° out now NICE but won't last long cold front in and out 77° will be the high today then back to 85° by Thru a gradually warming

Sandi said...

Good Sunday morning my eagle friends. Lynne is right, this time change is hard on pet owners. Bella was dancing around at 5am (DST) for breakfast and then again at 5:45am.

Tennis for me this morning and then I have lots of school work to do. Got the cleaning and the laundry done yesterday, didn't get a bike ride.

Prayers continue for Dana's dad, Lolly's Norm, Loretta's Norm, Michael, and Hoda's sister.

Make it a great day all!

Lori O. said...

Good morning eagle friends!

Only going up to 44 here today - chilly, and down to 22 tonight! Luckily, no snow in the forecast.

SANDI, hope you get a bike ride in today. Have fun at tennis this morning.

SHIRLEY, how was Kathryn's visit to Richmond? Glad to hear Susan has someone special in her life.

HODA, I just love your descriptions of life in Nelson. It does sound like a fun place to live and be involved.

KAY, is Seth home this weekend?

JUDYE, have a great day at work!

MARGY, so funny. The old radio job seems so long ago to me. Nursing school is not going as fast!

LOLLY, glad you got to see the boys last game yesterday. Sorry the Speedway traffic was so bad - guess that's to be expected.

Love you all... it's homework for me today, getting ahead and trying to stay there. :)

I LOVE US!

Janet said...

Good morning to all.
Beautiful cool day here in Nashville.

This time change doesn’t mess with me as badly as the fall back in the spring. I am thankful for that!

Work was great yesterday. I even had a long enough break to do yoga. I’ve been doing yoga on my lunch breaks. It really makes my day so much better.

Grocery shopping this morning. :P

LORI: rock those grades girl!
MAGPIE: missed your posts! Glad to hear from you. Maybe I just missed them in my speed readings…
I feel caught up this morning. Tom and Livvy worked on the house a bit for me while I was at work yesterday. That is most appreciated.

We watched a movie: Jack the giant slayer last night. Pretty good. Livvy liked it.
Gotta get moving. Hope everyone has a lovely day! (((Hugs))))

Lolly said...

Good morning! Was 46 this morn, but already up to 57. A beautiful day! Time to eat a bite and head to church! Have a great day!

Lolly said...

Norm has had several friends step up to come and spend the night these past few days - and it has been a huge blessing to be able to go home, take a bubble bath and sleep in my own bed...even though the empty space on the left side breaks my heart. Thank you, Rex, Jim, John, Monte and last night and tonight, Ken Ruettgers, his dear friend from Oregon. Norm and Ken have a rich history together. They spent several summers together, visiting NFL Training Camps across the country and ministering to the pros - and inviting them to PAO Conferences. The room is full of laughter and wonderful stories when these two guys get together.

The rehab here in the Acute Rehab Center at Swedish Cherry Hill goes on seven days a week. Norm works with therapists for a couple of hours every morning and every afternoon. He often needs to sleep in between - these folks are serious about recovery!! So, if you think about visiting, call me first and I'll let you know the schedule for the day. He has so been blessed by calls, cards, flowers, feedback on CaringBridge and cookies - as well as a few minutes here and there with friends stopping by.

Please know that one of the symptoms of a stroke is that your emotions are right at the surface - he will be laughing one moment and in tears the next. It does not surprise me at all that the tears are not tears of sadness, madness or frustration - but instead, of a tangible sense of the Father's constant love and incredible grace and mercy. Who Norm is at his normal best...is who Norm is in these dire, difficult circumstances. His great heart was not touched by this devastating stroke. The staff here at the hospital all smile when it their turn to provide his care.

We are thankful - and it appears that he remain working in this Rehab for the next four weeks - so we will celebrate a month of Thanksgiving in 2013. Bobbe

This is the last posting on Norm's Caring Bridge page. Just to let you know!



magpie said...

Good Morning Eagle Pals...

Oh, yes, that is something about pets and time changes...
I hope to experience that some fine day!

I wish I could address each and all about what's going on in your corners of the world....soon maybe I can get back to that!

I think the laptop, my only computer here at home, might be on its last legs so I'll be getting something going computer-wise soon as I can manage it...

Love to all on your day....today,
every day
xoxox

magpie said...

That's lovely and heartwarming, Lolly...thanks for bringing that to us!

Yay on the soccer win, and best wishes to the little guys on their
sporting events to come...and
a Big Shout Out to Zacharooski when you "talk" to him

xoxoxo !

NatureNut said...

Good Afternoon, Dear Eagle Buds!
We had a lovely day at Park yesterday and they held the Annual 10/5K runs & a 3K walk for Wildlife. Of course, I was manning the office, but it was not too hectic----most of those visitors could read the directional signs!!!
When I came in, thought I might have seen a "Blob" near the nest, but can't stop~~~time clocks to punch. However took some nest pics in PM and also put the albino raptor in the Nook!

Lolly said...

Great pics, Loretta!

Home from church, up to 61. Think I will mop floors, buy, a few grossssseries and then head outdoors!

Mema Jo said...

Watching the Redskins game - Ahead in score for now - Game almost over....

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Game went into overtime and the Redskins came out ahead ♥
Our Lady Lynn is happy! The Fat Lady Sang at the score of 30 - 24... ♥

JudyEddy said...

Good evening eagle buds Home from work for just a bit Stopped in to see the cell phone tower eagle and yep was there got some pics of course Seem to be there every evening now

NatureNut said...

Good Evening Eagle Buds! Went to store & work for a little while and when I got home found out the Redskins WON!!!YIPPEE!

Lolly, thank you so much for posting Norm's Caring Bridge page.
What wonderful people they are. Hoping for all the best.
Glad you liked the pics. It's about time to see something. Lucky JudyE!!!
Haven't heard anything more about my cousin Pat's Norm P. He's taking some chemo now.
So glad I never had to have that, but I must have told some lies, as they are probably going to shorten nose. The tapes finally fell off from the surgery and the top skin is sitting there w/only one side of the football field attached to the nose! Couldn't get any phone response all day Friday. If they won't answer the phone, we might go up to their office in AM,sit in the hall without an appt! Sorry to vent~~it's not a big deal, but it's an unwanted deal!
Bless you, everyone ♥

JudyEddy said...

STEVE if you read the blog I don't want to be a PIA but the camera of the nest tree the position has been shifted and all we see is the branch the eagle sit on right on the right hand side of the cam can only see half a eagle when they land is it possible to have it shifted back Thanks in advance if you see this Still nice seeing them in a distance when they land in the tree Thanks for the opportunity to view them this way

We are using the Platform player link that was always below the live cam feed to view in a separate player was in a blue link

JudyEddy said...

LORETTA YES I see the white feathers in your pic can't play hide and seek with them LOL

JudyEddy said...

This is a pic from today I love the way the sun shines on her back
Well I discovered something today
My neck hasn't been bothering me at all lately until I started going to see the eagles at the cell phone tower Looking up is not a good thing for me SAD the think I love the most hurts my neck I am thinking about trying my hard collar don't think the soft one will work on bending the neck back Or just maybe need to get a lawn chair that leans back that may be good also will have to figure something out

JudyEddy said...

I have tried a tripod and still have to bend with it

JudyEddy said...

Just got out of the hot hot shower beating on my neck really helps so I am headin to see that is on the boob tube

JudyEddy said...

LOLLY thanks for bringing over the info on NORM I was teary eyed reading ♥

Mema Jo said...

Good evening to all ♥
Ravens had a loss to the Cleveland Browns 24 -18 THEY REALLY TRIED

Loretta - I am really praying ytou get your nose in order. I hope there isn't any pain.

Biding my time until Good Wife comes on at 9:30.... Then I'll watch The Mentalist and see if he gets any closer to catching Red John.

Mema Jo said...

stronghunter said...

Hi,

Touching message about Norm, Lolly. I hope he continues to recover.

Prayers for your cousin's Norm, Loretta.

Went out to see if I could see the eclipse this morning, but the sunrise was behind a tree.

Kathryn, Hunter, and I went to the baby shower for Heidi this afternoon. Lots of fun and laughter. Heidi's baby boy is due Dec. 20. Heidi is literally the girl next door. We've known her since she was about 5.

paula eagleholic said...

Eveing all.

Back in paradis..nice ride back..made a couple o9f stops!

Yay skins won..listened on the radio.

Tookk chinese food and McD's for the grands at Johns last night.

Michael and Laura arrived late last night, they had. A party in Sykesville to attend.
We stayed up late talking and slept in.

Got all the yardwork done and all the outside cushions etc put away.

Cohen's party is now this coming weekend...can't make it...my brother is supposed to come down to put my insulation in. Will send presents.for him to open on the. 14th.

Good wife is delayed. Time to go put some stuff away and ppay some bills.

I hadto fast forward on my bird clock as well.

Glad to hear Norm is improving.

stronghunter said...

Good to see that the 'Skins won. Some of the guys were downstairs watching the game while we were at the shower. They finally convinced Hunter to join them, which was a good thing. He did not think much of the shower events.

stronghunter said...

I miss Judie.

magpie said...

Me too, Shirley.
I miss Judie....
It's too late for me to ring her up tonight, I might try to do that Monday....but I don't know her
teaching schedule.

Sounds like a GRAND week-end Paula!


Hello Evening Eagle Pals...
Yay for the Redskins, Waaaah for the Ravens...

Loretta....thinking of you, and hoping the next nose step will be favorable after all.....
exciting day for you Saturday!

Shirley....the sun was hiding
behind low to the horizon clouds this morning for me also...and stayed there until well after sunrise....

magpie said...

I have to un-garden things here too...just didn't have the time
before the California trip, and of
course we had the frost while I was gone.
Sure is going to look naked out front...it was a fun garden year here

stronghunter said...

Another Bear Update

stronghunter said...

Let us know if things are okay with Judie, Margy.

magpie said...

Hoda.. sure hoping the head cold
takes a hike, Pronto!

And hoping that everyone gets a good night's sleep and has a good week ahead...whether work, play...schooltime, or a combination of all three.

Janet: Best Wishes and Positive Thoughts on your endeavors on Livvie's behalf....
it is inspiring how hard you are working on this...I surely hope things will improve, and that all the powers that be can find a way
to help in all the right ways...

Good Night for now...

Lori O. said...

Good Monday morning eagle buddies!

It's back to work today. If you're retired, I'm jealous! :)

It's freezing this morning only 21 degrees out, with beautiful, star filled, clear skies.

LOLLY, thanks for the update on Norm. That was so touching. I hope he continues his complete recovery and that it goes fast for Bobbe's sake.

JO, Happy birthday to your GD & GS today.

PAULA, glad you got all your work done in Eberg and are now back in Paradise.

Finally got my hair colored to cover up the gray...feels much better.

Gotta go and study for today's ethics and law test.

Have a blessed day everyone!

Go Redskins!

Sandi said...

Good morning Lori and all my eagle friends!

Lori, law and ethics - sounds TOTALLY fascinating!! Lucky you!

Productive weekend - upstairs cleaned, laundry all done, IEPs updated for the end of the marking period. Bad weekend for the Ravens but a good one for Notre Dame.

Prayers continue for everyone's needs. Make it a great day!

Janet said...

A quick good morning to one and to all!
Busy weekend. Work Saturday. Then yesterday was grocery shopping. Walmart was very loud yesterday and distracting. I had a difficult time concentrating on shopping lots of noise bothers me and always has. Hmmmmm…..

I grilled burgers last night for dinner. That hit the spot.
Then bowling. We won one game by 1 pin. Tom pulled it off with 2 strikes and 9pins in the 10th frame!!! Woot woot. Personally, I couldn’t hit squat last night. First ball fine, but getting a spare, out of the question! :P bah humbug. Oh well, there’s next week

Now its Monday yet again. A chilly morning here. 39. Going to be nice this week.
Hope everyone has a lovely week. I’m off and running . light, love, hugs, and smiles!

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle buds
62° here today OK not cold but sure is lots nicer that what we have had

ANDY do you still do transcription work for the DR

JUDIE you are missed are you sure that JUFIE hasn't taken over

LORI keep up the good work and before you know it you will be a nurse

Keeping all in my thoughts and close to heart

Everyone have a great day in no matter what you do

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

Pretty and sunny here. I have not been outdoors, but I think it is cold out there.

Mema Jo said...

Good morning to all ♥

Yes - it is cold out there. The sunshine will add some warmth to the day.
Squirrels and blue jays and titmouse
are feasting. I haven't seen Mr Red
recently.
Pizza party for gs birthday this evening.
Tomorrow Michael has a check up down at UMMC with his surgeon who took care of him. He is so anxious and has many questions. I'll keep you posted and thanks for the prayers.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Prayers for Michael, Jo. Prayers he receives some answers.

It is cloudy here, 56 and light rain expected this evening , tomorrow and into Wed, but not holding my breath.

I love reading about Norm. Had not thought about it before, but his personality is reminding me so much of our maternal grandfather. Our grandpa, was a sweet, gentle, emotional person, who everyone loved.

It is also fun to read the comments his friends leave. So many of them are pro football players with funny stories. One story...a man left a comment calling him Brother. He said he remembered in one game, after knocking Norm down, putting out a hand to help him up, saying "how are you, Brother?" And, Norms reply "Don't brother me!" Lol

Time for me starlet my day. After walking, jubby and I have some shopping to do. Have a great day!

Lolly said...

Startlet? really? Pecking on my iPad. No telling what I will type!

Lori O. said...

Good afternoon everyone.

Got the test out of the way this morning and the teacher started lecturing on Handling and Taking Diagnostic Tests when the head teacher walked into the room to announce there had been another bomb threat. Stupid kids. Don't they know that's a federal offense? Anyway we were told to go home at 10:35, so here I am, home again. Didn't have time to even get our test scores.

JANET, lucky Tom with the bowling. Should have had him buy a lotto ticket, too!

JO, have fun at the pizza party. Let us know what the doc says about Michael.

SANDI, congrats on the end of your marking period.

Wishing everyone a great day!
