Jack got The Hobbit on DVD for Christmas. We have read the book and seen the movie. Tonight we watched it to refresh our memories and now we are ready to go to the theatre to see Part II.
Have had a fire going and have enjoyed the evening at the movies. ☺
Laurel and Jacob are going back to school tomorrow. We are picking Jacob up after school, taking a meal up there, and going to Joseph's basketball game.
And, Jack did some more pecan shelling and yep, I got some!
Night all! See you tomorrow!
SED!!
Whoops! Judy we did the big split and did not see it coming!
Hi,
When I got in the car to come home from bridge, it began to rain. By the time I got home, it was snowing impressively, though not sticking . . . yet. The temp had dropped to 36 by the time I pulled into my driveway.
Thanks, Sandi. It would be interesting to have Hunter ask you a math question. The problem we are having is that he is not asking anyone questions. I would do everything in my power to figure out the answer and he knows this. But I would also be happy for you to provide answers.
Lolly, both of my parents played bridge, so it was pretty natural for me to start playing when college friends were doing so.
In my young and single teaching days, we had a group that got together every Wednesday night to play. It was very informal: whoever wanted to play just showed up. and we took turns hosting. If we needed an extra table, someone brought one, or we sat on the floor around a coffee table. If we had extra people, someone pulled out a guitar and a group sang along. We had lots of fun.
Now, I get to go back to my old neighborhood and play with friends I have known for many years. My bridge group has been around for more than 30 years. Funny thing is that one of the members says that her other bridge group is the "old" one.
Hoping that you can find a way to get that new car, Margy.
Good grief, Hoda. I have to say that pipe bombs and other explosive devices do not belong on airplanes.
Wishing everyone a comfortable restful night. I will see you tomorrow.
SED.
Fie on you evil Jufie.
I concur SHIRLEY!
I do not much care for bombs if any variety.
I have seen first hand their devastation in 1956.
I have never forgotten

Good night all
Sweet dreams
God Bless Us All
Diann Fossey was a great person.
I cried when she was assassinated in Rowanda in '85!
Good that her 85th is marked by a google doodle.
I wonder if main media will give her a shout out.
O Sandman
O Sandman
Where art thou
O Sandman???
Good morning!
It's JudyE's day off again, already! Enjoy, Judy. Hope you find that kitten where ever it is.
Sandi, anymore news on your Mom? Glad she saw a doctor. Hopefully, the meds (probably a diuretic) will help clear up the PE. I'm sure you've done your research on it.
Lolly, happiness that the family is healing and going back to school today.
I'm headed to clinical at the hospital. Hope it goes fast. I got a lot of new assignments yesterday. No school Monday though! WooooWhoooo!
Hoping there are eagles in the nest a lot today.
BBL
Goodorming Lori and all my eagle friends.
MT nest.
Busy day ahead for me - make it a good one everyone!!
Morning all.
Yesterday was a busy but good day.
After giving my regular wed massage, I came home. We took the comforters to the laundry, an hour later, that was done. I managed to do a bit of house work before taking Livvy to school and before picking her up as well. Smarty me (lol) made up the spaghetti sauce for dinner in the a.m. so all I had to do when we got home was cook noodles, reheat the sauce and mix. Tah dah! Dinner!
I think sylvan went okay. I took a bag with me of magazines I wanted to read (3 dog fancy magazines), my book, and some cross stitch that I haven’t worked on in several years. We arrived a bit after 3, which gave Olivia a chance to catch her breath. I had a snack and drink ready for her on the way from school.
I sat there while she was in session for 2 hours. I finished all 3 magazines and got a god bit done on the cross stitch. It was warm, so after reading all 3 magazines, I was getting sleepy. Not good. Cross stitching woke me back up.
BIRD GIRL: good for you. Education is often the key…..empowering people! Helping our furry and feathered friends! Celebrate you! Celebrate your successes! So honored to have you in our presence!
JUDYE: no, you had not mentioned the info regarding SYLVAN. I have heard lots of good things….so I am hopeful for Olivia.
Not done, but just ran out of time. Ooops.
Light, love, hugs and smiles to all!
Good morning
Quiet on the blog this morning!
I have been awake for two hours!
Early!
Sleep was rested though
Enjoy your day every one.
Good Morning to all ♥
MT nest - No one reports seeing our Royal Couple this morning.
Temps should be going up in the high 30's but for right now it is only 29°
No plans for today - I can stay in and relax with dinner in the slow cooker.
Going over to FB to check out family and friends... ♥
Good morning,
Cold and sunny this morning. The sprinkling of snow is disappearing, though.
Nest sunny but empty. A familiar shadow of the stump is cast across the nest. Maybe an egg cup there at the top.
Good morning all. Sandi - hope your Mom will get better soon. Don't see much at the nest. Cam keeps shutting down and I need to re-start it. Thanks for all the well-wishes concerning our car. Had to be towed home and hoping towing insurance can help some there. I just had front brakes done in November...now have problem and the repair shop wanted a great deal of money that I couldn't see spending. They were nice enough not to charge us for checking. Looks like a brake hose problem and not sure I can fix it. I'll check it out Saturday. Hope you all can have a great day. I'm hoping to see some eagles soon.
Good Morning Eagle Buds !!!
Snow is pretty much gone---til' it begins to fall again tonight and for the next three days ! Only 23° and destined to stay low for the next week. Guess it's very, very January !
SANDI, so relieved to read that your mom is on Lasix and that's there is hope that the crisis can be averted !! Prayers continue !!
JO, sorry your household suffered a fender bender, too. Way too much of that and car trouble going around for we EM's.
Enjoyed catching up with all the news about our young kidsters and their schooling---about improved kidster health in Texas---reading the wonderful review of Delphia's impressive life in beautiful Arizona and more.....
Love and Prayers for all !!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good morning.
Jerry, hope the car repairs can be done without huge $ cost.
Sandi, wishing you mom is improving and will be okay soon.
Shirley and I are having similar weather. Cold and sunshine. Dusting of snow now gone.
Hoda, will let Sandperson know you got some sleep.
MT nest.
Off to get my "do" did and then feed the car.
Have a good day!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS
SHIRLEY the playing bridge story is pretty cool ♥
Hey I heard rumor that JUFIE was locked up in a appliance along side the road with the green shiny garland tied around it with locks
Well I didn't get up early being it my day off I am sure the eagle were there just no one to see it
I love you can see the egg bowl so good now Nicely defined looks ready to me
I have looked and looked in the attic got ladder and stood on top of it with flashlight and the light up there on and called and can't see or here it now But early I was out side and I could hear it but faintly I looked on top of my porch and all now its quite I have no tv on or anything waiting to here
Jerry being you had brake work done not that long ago they won't stand behind it and didn't see the issue them
I also have towing on my insurance they pay but I have to pay upfront and get reimbursed for it
Chrissy hasn't been on FB account since July 2012. Also the e-cards I have sent are never opened. Soooooo
Chrissy if you are out there please know I am thinking of you and sending b-day wishes to you ♥
going to pick up Jordyn after school and go to park if not to cold and spend the night just makes more sense since she has no school tomorrow and I won't have to get up earlier to go there or meet her at her job
Jordyn wanted to go see the mermaids and WW again I was not impressed with it
It is indoor but for the $$ the two shows aren't worth the over hour drive up there with road construction and I wanted to do Dinosaur world but its outside (wimpy here to cold) so we are just gonna go to Great Explorations which she just loves We were there once from opening to closing
However I will say that my emails aren't returned... What's up with that?
Happy 44th Anniversary to Donna and Raymond Cox - ♥ Donna aka Mauley was and still is an original Momster - Wishing you many more years of happiness ♥
Goodorming! Jo, maybe we should all flood Chrissy with snail mail. I miss being in touch with her and certainly wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
OMG! My Michael has his 45th birthday this Saturday. Talked with him this morning and invited them over for dinner Sat. They might actually come and spend the night! Wow!!!
I do have a present ready for him. A few years ago we bought him a front door mat. Crazy gift right? However, in front of their home they need an elegant one. Well, we noticed it was coming apart, so we got a new one. Silly thing is expensive. Not very personal but so very hard to by him gifts!!!!
We leave about 1:30 this afternoon for Denton.
Jerry, caam does not run smoothly for me either. I have to refresh, but sometimes it just pauses and then comes back on.
Annie ate her night time meal and no more runs. Yea!
good grief "buy" not "by".
Yes, that does look like an egg cup in the nest. Just wish we could witness a little HP!!!
JO GO on Chrissy facebook page and see if you can find a relative and contact them Wouldn't hurt
Regarding the cam mine has been running all night now 13 hrs and counting but yesterday I did have issues but none today
I am off to start my day. Need to get beautiful and do some prep for tonight's dinner in Denton!
Have good one!
I thought that they were turning off the cam but they didn't in Ft Meyers This is a neat video that someone took of the mom taking the little one that is being picked on under her wing so sweet
Harriet takes young one E4 underwing to protect from bully E3
Headed out in a few.
Jo, my emails to Chrissy are NOT returned but she no longer responds. We used to email and she would educate me on all things British when I had a question. Miss her. Just hope the problem is not poor health.
♪♫♫ Happy Anniversary to Donna and Raymond ♪♫♫ Wishing them many more.
Yes, Kay. I remember the Ohio snow as Shirley does also. It is January. Remember the blizzard in the mid 70s?
Bye
JUDIE, I do remember a couple of blizzards in the 70's---one in 70 or 71, on Feb. 9, my son's birthday and a grand "snow day" for the kids ! Then in 77' the family threw a 40th surprise birthday party for me in late January. I'll never forget all the wonderful friends who made it through to our house in blizzard conditions !
JUDYE lived in Ohio for a while, too. Did you make it through any blizzards, JUDY ?
LOLLY, so happy to hear Michael, Ashley and Zacharooni will celebrate with you on Saturday !!!
I know you "originals" remember CHRISSIE and DONNA with love. I wish them both much happiness on their special days of celebration !
spoke to soon now my cam is getting the spinning circle arrow thingy again
Sandi & Paula - SALISBURY, Md.-
Struggling department store operator JCPenney has announced it will close 33 "underperforming" stores across the country, including its location at the Centre at Salisbury mall.
On my phone, on way to Denton.
Want you to know I received a sweet note from our very own CarolAnne. She did not say how she is doing. She did say "Hi to everyone in Eagledom"!!
She also pointed out that perhaps I have not read the fine print on the rain stick. It must be a full moon (smirk) while dancing naked and chanting to the rain goddess. Oh dear!
From Christine, my granddaughter
For anyone who believes in a higher power or prayer we could definitely use some prayers. We are coming to the end of our time where we are living and some other housing possibilities might be coming available. I know what ever is meant to be will be. If you could keep us in your prayers it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Well Lolly if you need the rain - Full Moon is Tonight! They don't allow Naked Dancing in Denton - lol
JO, prayers and candle lit for dear Christine, her hubby and kids !
LOLLY, thanks for sharing CAROLANNE's delightful message ! Please tell her she is sorely missed here !
Hoping we get a visit within the hour... ♥
Back home. "do" did and Bessie, the car, has a full tummy.
Hi right back at CarolAnn. Hope she is well.
Lolly, y'all have fun. There was a serial killer who used to dance naked in the moonlight. Happy that Michael and family will join your celebration this weekend.
Prayers of finding the perfect place for Christine and family.
Kay, I seem to remember the blizzard I experienced was the one in '77. Dreadful!
Okay, off to the scullery. Now need to fill Darth's tank.
BBL
For Gail: sometimes the blogger cop causes our posts to evaporate. Good to make a copy and then post again.
Bye
The Giant Panda Cam at the National Zoo has sound! Fantastic......
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/webcams/giant-panda.cfm
Right now Bao Bao will not let her Momma rest. Lots of wrestling by the little gal.
Ahoy mates!
Hoping we get to see our eagles tonight.
SANDI, what's the latest on your mother? Prayers continue.
JO, Speaking of prayers that was a very sweet post from Christine. Prayers, of course. Moving is such a stressful time, too.
LOLLY, I think it's lovely that you got your son a beautiful door mat. I'm sure he'll love it and appreciates that he's hard to buy for.
KAY, We're starting up with the snow again tonight, too...but not much. Today was cold! I know all your friends were happy to trudge through blizzard conditions to be at your party. Great story. ♥
HODA, you had a very funny post on FB today about auto-correct. Loved it. LOL.
JUDIE, how do you like your new do?
JUDYE, Hoping you and Jordyn have a great day and night together. It's so great that you get so much time with her.
SHIRLEY, is Hunter still wearing a jacket to school, or was that a one day deal? :)
DELPHIA, how are the budgies?
JANET, you are a loving Mom to wait 2 hours in a waiting room for Livvy. How did she like it? Wish I could cross stitch, but my eyes won't focus to count those little squares.
LYNNE-DUH, how do you like the new house? Does Steve like his new job? I can't wait to hear all about it. So happy for you!
MARGY, how goes it? Is crime really worse in the summertime? Just hoping it might be slow for you during this cold weather. Don't imagine that even the hoodlums want to go out. :)
PAULA, how is Larry's leg doing? Didn't see if he rode the scooter or not at the grocery store. Is he still working at Lowes in Fred?
Time to bring up the cams and hope we get to see Belle and Shep.
Had a long and exhausting day...maybe I'll find the time to share about it tomorrow. Right now it's homework and bed soon after.
eagle!!!
Fluffing the fluff...can't hear them doing it, but the eagle is.
Looks like Belle.
In the NHZ
Must have flown the coop.
Flying home time for me...catch ya later!
Paula for your eyes only!
I missed it - I was letting Mr Scar into the house.
Whoops - eagle still in nest
Yay! Eagles!!
Poof one.
Poof the other one.
Yay! So happy to see an eagle in the nest. :)
Did a really dumb thing - I just five minutes ago remembered I have a clinical assignment from today that's due tomorrow. URGH! Three hours and it'll be done. So glad tomorrow is Friday.
Winter of 1978 . . . I think '77 and '78 were both very cold, but I believe the really big blizzard in Ohio was in 1978.
Must go--George wants his dinner. He is very persistent.
Hi all - home from school and getting my nails done. Saw both eagles on the nest.
Just spoke to Mom. She said the lasix is making her pee but her pain is still awful - said it feels like someone is stabbing her. She has pain under her rib cage, down both sides of her body, and in her back. Now I'm worried that the pain is coming from her aneurysm getting ready to burst and not just from the pleurel effusion.
On a happier note, there was a huge blizzard in Baltimore in Feb. of 1979 and another big one in Feb. of 1983. I know this for a fact b/c I gave birth to two bouncing baby boys in October of 1979 and October of 1983! After that, whenever we got a sizable snow, my neighbors would call and ask if I was pregnant again! :)
Need to make dog food - will try to get back on the blog later tonight.
Hi, Everyone,
Oh, my! Sandi, prayers indeed for your Mom! I had forgotten she had an aneurysm!
There are a few other new and urgent prayer requests here from the last couple of days, and I've added them to my prayer list!
Yikes, it's HOT here again--in the high 80s! Would surely welcome a few snow flurries if one of you could please send me some! Emma is laying around with her tongue hanging out right now.
She's fine, except she could use a summer haircut in January!
WISHING CHRISSY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
If you're reading this, I miss you, and hope you will contact us to let us know how you're doing!
Margy & JudyE, I hope your vehicles will hold together for a long time for you! Ken & I are down to one car now since a year ago. The older one had almost 300,000 miles on it when we donated it to charity. Decided it would be too expensive to do upkeep on it at that point. Thank God, the current wheels are doing fine.
Lolly, glad that Annie is better!
Bless her heart!
Need to run--Ken's due home from work shortly. He has tomorrow off, since it is his 73rd Birthday. We're doing something with my Sis-in-law, but haven't decided what yet--maybe lunch and a movie.
Hope everyone has a great evening, and I'll talk to you tomorrow night. I ♥ us!!
SANDI prayers for your MOM and the whole family.
Holding Space for her hoping she goes through this and has a few more years with you.
JO prayers for Christine and her family.
I hope her hubby finds another job and that the accommodation issue resolves with something that would not disrupt the girls school year.
Does Christine have a job outside the home? Is she looking? Both of them look awfully young to be retired on an army pension. Blessings to them.
Hoda, Patrick is a victim of PTSD
He is not allowed to hold down a job yet. Christine is a full time homemaker and caregiver. She is anxious to work = she has her Master's but would work in merchandising or anything really just to have some money coming in other then the very meager Army pension. Their family life is repeated over and over again by military families in this day and age. Operation Homefront is their one hope of obtaining housing at minimum cost. They are up for consideration for 2 sites in VA about 4 hrs away. Christine is a strong woman - and will find every outlet possible to help her family. ♥
Sandi - Blizzard Babies
You Rock Gal ♥
Headed for Jeopardy!
BBL for sure ♥
good evening to all.
LORI: I use a larger size aida cloth and my bifocals for cross stitch. The bifocals are a must for anything like that, reading, etc now. That’s one of the only stinky things about middle age, the eyes don’t focus like they used to.
I don’t know about being the “loving” mom…try being the mom who didn’t want to fight traffic that side of town any more than I have to. Its in Green Hills…which is a “higher” end side of town. Very nice. Her orthodontist, our dentist, and now Sylvan is over there. Its twenty min from our house, but traffic is much more congested. Its much more relaxing for me to sit and enjoy the sofa, some coffee, and relax while she studies…. But I do spend a LOT of time waiting on that kid, lol.
I drove her to and from Franklin (30 min away) and waited an hour for her to do vision therapy for 9 months.
I take her to the ice rink 2x a week, sometimes having to wait 2 hours for her to finish. Not to mention….the December program…and now she’s considering doing a competition in February.
And now sylvan.
I’m getting good at waiting. Lol.
SANDI: light, love, and hugs for your mom. It sounds pretty miserable! ‘
JO: hope things work out for Christine and her family….
I am tired tonight. I dozed off doing Yoga today…..it took a lot of coffee to get me going again this afternoon. I am fading fast at this point.
Calling it a night. Nice hot shower and bedtime in my near future. SED to all!
Susan walked into the parking lot at work to find what she thought was a cat sleeping on top of the car next to hers. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a fox.
For the non-Facebookers, I have posted a picture of the cartop fox on my blog.
Pretty cool Shirley. Is the fox ok.
So glad my days of running kids are over!
Gave Nick his bath tonight . He was such a good boy in the tub.
Just popping on to say goodnight.
Lolly, must have missed the post about Annie feeling better but that's good news!
Judy & Margy, my Jeep was bought in November of 2001 - I'm hoping to get 2 1/2 more years out of it and buy myself a new vehicle as my retirement gift. Only has 80,00 miles on it and still runs fine.
Paula, did you happen to hear on your local news about any drama/scandal in Indian River School District? It appears that the principal and vice principal at the local elementary school were fired yesterday for "inappropriate school conduct." Both are married but were having an affair with one another - parent rumors are saying they were caught having sex at school! The sad thing is that both of them have children who attend the school.
Lori, hope you got that paper/homework assignment completed. Hang in there - a 3-day weekend is fast approaching.
Goodnight - Will see everyone in the AM! Thanks again for the prayers for my mom.
Too cool, Shirley. Great Susan thought to take a picture. You may have seen on the news all the commotion about the fox that lives on Capitol Hill. Don't understand the shock and awe. Seen one there many times.
Sorry for the children who will learn of the inappropriate behavior. Human stupidity never ceases to amaze.
Soon headed to tuck myself under the blankets. Will be really cold tonight.
Yes, JudyE, Evil Jufie is still on lockdown. Sandperson had another therapy session and is happily packing a satchel. Janet and Hoda are at the top of the list tonight.
Night light is on. Restful sleep for all.
Nite Judie
Shirley - He was large - I guess he just ran off when Suzi approached.
I can't imagine why a fox would pick a car roof on which to sit/sleep
Sandi - And you thought your school had lots of teacher drama - I'm afraid the elementary school outdid
you. Things do happen - very disgusting behavior from those adults.
There has been nothing on TV this evening - Great Granddaughter called
to see if she could spend the night
tomorrow.. Whoo Hoo - now I can legitimately buy ice cream & snacks.
I am closing for the day ..
Thanks for all your concerns for
Christine and her family. Thanks for not repeating on FB any of my comments.....
Goodnight to all ♥
SED and AOYP
Don't think I have seen the news about the Capitol Hill fox, Judie, but it seems they are everywhere. Susan has seen a fox near her apartment, and has recorded fox calls as well.
Susan hasn't said what happened after she spotted the fox, Paula. I am expecting more information at some point.
I am waiting to hear more news about the two children found on the roof in Spotsylvania. It seems the parents are in a lot of trouble.
When Rus was about three, he managed to climb up on the roof of our house. His dad was up there working, as I recall, on the antenna, when he turned around to see Rus behind him. "Hi Dad!" Cy managed to get him safely off the roof and down the ladder. I think I would have lost it. Thank goodness, we did not make the news that day.
Sandi.. I heard about they both resigned but didn't hear the rest of the story..wow. Jo I
i did hear about Jcp..was on the news here .
Hadn't heard about the elementary school scandal, Sandi. Awful.
The news here is that our JCP store is not among those closing. I would miss Penney's. I do a lot of shopping there, and it is where I get my do done.
I can't imagine why a fox would decide to get on top of a car. I would expect they'd stay hidden.
Hi all, quick message for you...posting here for those not on FB. On Chrissy's FB page there is a message from her via Heather.

Oh, good, Lynne. It is good to know that Chrissy is okay.
I hadn't wished her a happy birthday yet. I hope it was wonderful.

My delete. Took a couple of tries to get the link to work.
JO a great deal of Respect for Patrick and Christine.
Many of our vets are in the same position here. Many diagnosed with PTSD. I think we owe them big time.
I hope they settle in soon in a house to their liking. I also have an amazing respect to stay at home Moms. I posted on FB today a chart of what they should be paid.
Bless them all. Praying for Christine and her family.
Foxes sometimes are rabid. Please be careful.
Amazing photo SHIRLEY.
Glad to hear CHRISSY is well.
Happy Birthday.
I am starved in search of some Kale and something creative to do with it. BBL
Popping in the say Good Night
everyone is in bed but me
watching the news
JO Love your idea of buying snacks when GD comes over Me to but then I am stuck with them when she is not there and then I eat and eat them LOL
SANDI looks like you are low mileage like I am I think mine is about 60,000
so happy that you all got news about Chrissy
Prayers and good wishes for Patrick and Christine, Jo.
Interesting--the parents say the children were not on the roof--they say this despite the fact that the police say they saw the children there, and there were other witnesses.
I thought about the problem of rabies in foxes, too, Hoda. But I do know Susan is careful. As a wildlife rehabber, she has been vaccinated. I thought she said the fox was at her workplace, but it was at her home.
Susan's Volunteer Job
Time for sleep--after I give George his final feeding of the day. Maybe he will let me sleep past 3:30 AM.
SED, everyone.
Good night all
God Bless Us all
Ah, Judie, check my blog for a picture of your Capitol Hill fox.
More CHF Adventures
Goodorming my eagle friends - TGIF!
Hoping for a calm, peaceful day with the kids and my colleagues before this 3-day weekend. The principal did have a chat with the 2 teachers on the hallway who had the argument in my room and they seemed OK yesterday.
Will call Mom at lunch time and then decide if we're driving to Baltimore for the weekend.
Nest is MT.
Have a great day all.
Have a great day all.
Good morning!
Wow what a week. So glad that it is over.
We had 2 deaths in our school family. One of our 4th grade boys lost his dad last Saturday. He was in the VA in Martinsburg in ICU. This dad was a wonderful person, caring, and a Hagerstown City Policeman. He leaves a wife, 4 year old daughter, and 10 year old son. So very sad.
They yesterday we get news that a former teacher from our school died of a massive heart attack. Bam, just like that. She was in school Wednesday morning and dead Wednesday night. So shocking. She touched many lives. She taught all 4 of my children, and I was her teacher's aide for a year when I was working on my Masters. She was the mother of 5 adopted children of all races, and basically raised 3 of her grandchildren. I have her youngest grandson in my class.
And my Andrew has had a "friend" visiting from CA and now they are "in a relationship". Not sure how to take all of that, or what is going to happen when she goes back to CA. At least I am assuming she is going out to CA. Pretty sure he is staying here....doesn't have enough money to get a flight after paying for school...oh damn, wish they were all back in diapers.
Jo-So glad to get the Michael update. Glad he is doing well and preparing to go on another trip! whoo hoo!
Sandi-A selfie holding a frying pan. Too funny.
Tag day for us= jeans! Yay! We are also having slipper day in kindergarten. I better get moving. Slept til 6 this morning. I guess I am emotionally drained.
TGIF! RED TGIF!!!!! We made it to FRIDAY!!!!
JUDIE: thank the sandperson. I slept so soundly last night. I hit the sheets @ 9 and at 9:01 was snoring.
MAGPIE; I”d love to send CarolAnne a card, can you email me her addy please?
DANAMO: wow. Hugs all around. Its been a rough week for you and those near you….
Feeling much more human this morning. Thursdays feel like Mondays to me, from the time I peek my eyes open til the time I close them…. So glad when Friday gets here.
It dawned on me, I have a four day weekend? My normal Sat and Sun off, then off Monday to take Tom to dr and Livvy to dentist, then Tuesday is my normal Tuesday off.
Between tomorrow and Tuesday I might actually be able to complete my taxes. I need to crunch all my raw data. At least, I can get a good start on it!
Hope everyone has a lovely day. Light, love, hugs, and smiles to each of you. Holding you each close in my heart and thoughts.
Good Morning Eagle
42 out now and that is cold to me LOL I know not as cold as you all
Jordyn was up at 630 Angie said Saying its light out can I stay up we can let OMA sleep she says LOL
Nature called so I got up before Angie and Carl left
YEAH SECOND EGG AT BLACKWATER
Good RED FRIDAY morning Eagle Buds !!!
SANDI, thinking of you mom this a.m. and hoping she had a good night with reduction in that horrible pain.
SHIRLEY, thanks for posting the fox pic on your blog ! Must have found a warm spot on that car.
PAULA, who knew Paradise would be such a "hotbed" of activity ? Guess those fired teachers won't be getting jobs at the local JCP ! So very sad for their innocent kids.
DANA, and sad, sad news for your school family. Hope you like Andrew's friend. I'm sure it does your heart good to see him happy !
ANDY, Happy, happy 73rd Birthday to your Kubby !
Time for me to do what little housework I've planned for today. It's Julie's long day at work, so I'm picking Seth up at 11:00. We'll lunch at Piada's and then find warm indoor things to do here for the rest of the day. Games, jigsaw puzzling.... The temp is as high as it's going to get today at 33° and more snow flurries all afternoon.
Love and prayers for all !!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good Friday morning, my eagle budlets!
Good morning,
Slept a bit late after not being able to sleep during the night. Maybe Janet got my share of the sleepy dust.
Saw a little birdie hopping across the nest just now. There's a dark spot in the center of what I assume will be the egg cup.
Dana, my condolences to you and your school family. Hoping that things work out well for Andrew and his friend--and that it's a relationship to your liking.
Good Morning this Red Friday to all ♥
Great news about BWE Nest Update
01/17/14: Egg Alert!
We have our second egg. If we get a third, it should be here by Sunday.
Lady and Lord Blackwater are right on schedule! Like Judy I always check our nest and then BWE nest.
I need to read earlier comments -
Question: Lynne - where is the message from Heather Walker concerning our Chrissy? I can't find it -- we're lucky you did and that it put our minds at ease.
Good morning all.
Why is it a three day weekend?
Oh I slept so soundly!!!
It is 7:30 and I am still in bed!!!
Thank you Mr Sand Person!!!
Sorry DANA for school community deaths.
Sorry about the school scandal too!!! For the adults involved, their children, and the whole situation. Scandals bring out the worst in people.
Prayers ongoing...
HODA, Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in USA.
Sandi I am praying your call to Mom will find that her pain has left her.
Dana - You really never know God's plan ahead of time. You just pray you have the Faith to accept things.
Happy for Andrew - Just hoping for no rash decisions!
Shirley - Suzi's volunteer job - Why wasn't I surprise that I would find the Raccoons there - lol She is quite the gal!
Kay - enjoy your afternoon with Seth.
Margy are you still pulling those 12 hr shifts?
Sun is shinning here but calls for 50% chance of rain/snow showers later this evening. Who Knows ? It is
37° now and no wind.
Thank you KAY.
A GREAT man.
A history changer.
Goodorming! Had a fun day yesterday. Picked up Jacob and when we arrived at the house he went right to the kitchen counter to do his homework. I did not have to say anything! And, he did it perfectly and cheerfully. Yea!
Joseph lost his basketball game. The other team had an amazing player. He is 12 years old but has already hit puberty. You could see the muscles in his arms! He was also about 5'10". When he got his hands on the ball he made a basket. OMG! Joseph came out after the game and in awe of the player. Not mad, not sad....just amazed at he player on the other team. Way to go Joseph for being mature about the loss.
Missed the comment on fb from Heather about Chrissy. I am concerned about why Chrissy has not made the comment herself.?????
Yea, for BW and their second egg!!!
Wonderful sound on our cam today! Just wish an eagle would fly in right now!
Mason Caring Bridge Update
The message from Chrissy is on Chrissy's Facebook page. I am thinking that she does not have access to a computer herself.
Susan had a choice between raccoons and, as I recall, bats, as a rescue place to volunteer. Her volunteer hours helped her obtain her certification as a rehabber.
I would have chosen raccoons too.
Yes, Shirley! I went to her page and saw the comment. Hoping things are not going "rough" right now for her. We should keep her in prayer as she did love her cams.
Interestingly, the white portion of the tree trunk extends beyond the top of the nest; it looks to go even below the bottom of the nest. Just an observation.
It would be nice to see the tree from a different angle. With no leaves on the tree, we would get a good view of the nest and this portion of the tree.
Agreed, Lolly.
Time for me to go put together a BLT for lunch.
Hmm, listening. Not hearing any sounds right now.
Sorry about the basketball loss, Lolly. Kids at this age really do come in very different sizes.
Yikes!! All of a sudden I am hearing something that seems to be coming from the nest area. Not sure what it is, though.
Lots of wind at the nest. Have been watching it for the last half hour while we did our walking. One of these days gonna see an eagle while walking in mid day. LOL
Yes, I think I heard wind, too. It sounded different from the wind I've heard before, though, and I am not seeing movement in the tree.
I am now having cam problems. It has been on all morning, with sound. Now I can not keep it going.
I have a good picture. Don't hear anything.
Have turned up volume.
When I bring up the cam it takes a minute to start up and then it lasts only 5 seconds..with sound.
My live cam pic is very good - I really think I am hearing static on my speakers - There isn't any wind
going. Much earlier late morning I heard sounds that could have come from the barn - like machinery.
MYSTERY Wish one of could hear the
Train Whistle. lol
Getting ready for my guest -
Michael and his granddaughters...
BBL but oldest gal likes my computer
I give up and have gone to the still image. This is so infuriating!!!!
Good afternoon friends!
Shirley, you got me with your CHF adventures. I thought what the heck as you talking about, because I only knew CHF as congestive heart failure. DUH! Very cute fox, and daring, too.
JO, thanks for sharing Christine and family with us. I solute her husband, and give Christine my admiration. PTSD is a long road back.
Sandi, Awful story about the principal and VP. Glad you Mom is getting rid of lots of fluid. Poor thing. Pleural Effusion can be very painful. Prayers continue.
Loved that you were a Blizzard Baby Maker! LOL
Janet, thanks for the chauffeur details. You are a great Mom! So glad you get a 4 day weekend. WooooHoooo. I have Monday off, too.
Kay, loved your "hotbed" comment to Sandi about the misbehaving principal and VP. You're always so clever. Have a great evening with Seth.
Lolly, when is the trailer coming?
Hoda, cracks me up when you post and say you're still in bed. Wish I could do that. Another benefit to growing up and being like Hoda!
Andy, we'll take all of the sunshine you want to send this way. And, yes, we'll send you some snowflakes.
Had a great day at the hospital today. The more I do this, the more I like it. Had two outstanding elderly patients and loved them. So nice to see that they both had family gathered around them. ♥
Sorry, JO. My solute, should have been SALUTE!
Hee hee hee! Got the cam to work on my ipad. So what is with this lap top????
Hi all - home from school and starting my 3-day weekend!! Woohoo!!
My live feed is running just fine and I think I even have sound. Waiting for an evening eagle visit.
Great news about Blackwater's 2nd egg!
Called Mom this morning at 11am and she said her pain level was about a 5 on a scale of 1-10. Last night she said it was a 10. Just got off the phone with her and she says her pain level is about a 2-3! Greatly improved! Thanks for all the prayers! Based on how she's feeling today, Lisa didn't call the doctor and Mom will go for her scheduled appointment next Tuesday.
Nice calm drama-less day at school, though the rumors are really flying about what the principal and vice principal must have been doing to get themselves fired on the spot! Hmmm ...
Jack talked with Brad, who said he would get back with us....guess what!! We have not heard a word. He did tell us they had moved it to the store very close to us. I may go visit it tomorrow!! LOL So...do not know when we will get it. Jack gives people more time than I do. I would be calling back!
I hear static and occasional wind on the ipad. So, we do have sound.
Jack ran an errand and I have suggested he call again.
I'm with you, Lolly! No patience for poor customer service. This is a huge purchase and you're entitled to some consideration!
Going to reboot my laptop.
I saw cam shake just got at Angie
EAGLE!
TWO!!
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE!!
Two eagle heads!!!
reagle
Rebooting did the trick! I am on my laptop!
EAGKLE not regale TWO eagle
Judy, what's a regale? LOL
Judy, calm down and type slowly.☺
EAGLE boy these old fingers and I think they are gone I did get a pic on Angie puter
LOLLY didn't you know that a regale and a eagkle LOL Not use to this keyboard of hers
No, do not know about reagles and eagkles. Hmmmm.....guess I should google and see. Lot to learn in this world. ☺
is the same as a eagle LOL didn't finish the sentence Ok back to the family just wanted to chime in before dinner Had a nice day at Great Explorations and after McD Stopped at a new one with a cool inside play area they have sort of a trapeze swing Jordyn loves it and had a odd experience there Was there awhile a Jordyn hooked up with a sweet 9 yr old after we were there awhile she came up to me and ask if it was ok that her mother would run home and would be back in 15 min Her19 yr old sister was interviewing with McD I saw no issue with it. Well 45 min later no parents I went to talk with the McD manager and told her about it that the girl was in interview they said they would keep a eye on her Just felt bad about leaving her but had to get Jordyn home
Hey did you all see the picture on facebook of SE nest Looks like a piece of meat maybe garbage pickers or maybe someone leaving out when I get home I will put on the blog OK for you to looks at if you hadn't seen it on the newsfeed when I posted it yesterday OK buy for now
Good afternoon all. Its is finally Friday afternoon/early evening.
I am on strike at the moment. Gracious! Everyone is “screaming” at me today. I walk in the door just before 3 and the cats are screaming for food. Scout and Seven are having a hissy fit in the back yard because the neighbors have workmen there.
I got get Olivia and get home and now Olivia AND the dogs are demanding food. I fed the dogs. But I am taking a short break before I fix dinner.
I found the sleeping bag for Michael. I think he is both scared and excited about this new adventure. He is dreading leaving Ashely, I know, but all will be well.
It is cold outside. The wind is up and the wind chill is 18. 27 is the actual temp.
I am glad to be home and not going anywhere I can think of tonight.
Check in later!
OMG, JUDYE, sure hope that little girl's parents showed up. Scary.
THE GIRLS older sister was there otherwise I wouldn't have left The odd this is when her parents left we could see them waiting to get out in traffic and they have a new car the girl told me they just got it and the ODD this is I wrote down the tepo tag # and I gave it to the McD mgr when I left Just in case you never know if was in accident that would help I think
Tee hee, Lori. CHF=Capitol Hill fox. You got it.
That fox looks very confident there in front of the capitol building.
The question is this: What did the fox say?
Time for me to put together some dinner.
Have been very lazy today.
Yes, I think it is static I was hearing earlier. It just did not really sound like wind.
LORI when I say I am still in bed you do remember I am three hours behind you? Right?
I hope so!
My January Master Tonic is potent!
I had a swig and My oh my it did not blow the top of my head off but almost!!!
Evenin' all.
Uneventful day here. Turning colder by the minute.
Need to brush up on what are reagles and eagkles. Anyone think they might be the same species OR perhaps the Evil Jufie is trying to fool us.
Jo, have fun with Miracle Michael and the greatgrands.
Wonder if we scared Gail away?
Headed across the hall to watch The Frist 48. May be semi-retired but crime is my oxygen.
BBL
Somebody I know here wants to wish the Momsters and Dadsters a
Good Night and
Sweeeeeet Sleep....hey I live alone, it must be me !!
JO, Yes, still on the 12's, 3 in a row right now, today was Monday, Saturday is Hump Day and Sunday is Friday....
:)
just please don't ask me what day it really is!
Happy to read that Sandi's mother is feeling more pain-free, and
that Lori is enjoying here clinicals...
Any typing hereafter will be gibberish... So.....
Prayer for Wellness and Joy all around
and
God Bless Us,
Every One xoxox
Enjoying First 48 as usual.
Soon time to close my eyes and drift off to dreamland.
Sandperson is busy packing a satchel. Headed out soon.
Night light is on. Restful sleep for all.

Evening all. Safely here in Eburg . Good ride home.
Sandi glad your Mom is feeling better.
Larry says his leg is feeling better..went and helped a friend today...didn't over do it..came home and put his leg up. He is still in Rehoboth ..I'll see him next week.
Margy sorry for those lousy shifts
Good night, everyone. See you tomorrow.
SED.
Good night.
God Bless Us All
Getting on to say good night.
Was going to make a great dinner tomorrow night, but Michael said he wanted my home made pizza, so pizza it is!
Joseph is playing in a tournament this weekend. Laurel texted....they won tonight!
Looks like no trailer until next week. Disappointed!!! Oh, well, will concentrate on having Michael and family here.
Night all! SED!!
Welcome to the weekend!
Good Saturday morning, everyone!
Margy, How do you like the 12 hour shifts with the extra time off? Just curious because we'll be doing it for clinical soon - two hospital days on 12 hour shifts instead of 3 hospital days.
Lolly, sorry getting your trailer has been delayed. I think I'd be a little upset with those people. Glad you have Jack to handle all that for you. :) Hope you have a super happy pizza day with the family!
Hoda, yes I realize you're 3 hours behind - I just love the picture in my mind of you in bed posting on the blog and FB. Too cute.
Sandi, any update on your Mom this morning? Great news that her pain has significantly decreased.
Janet, what are your plans for the weekend - I know it's a four day weekend for you. Sorry I missed the part about Michael, Ashley and the sleeping bag, but hope it all works out.
Kay, did Seth spend the night? Bet you had a great time doing puzzles and things. Do you have an update on Malcolm?
Time to go make my list of things I have to complete this weekend.
I won't be leaving the house at all this weekend, which is okay since it's so cold.
Love you all!
Goodorming Lori and all my eagle friends!
Nest is MT and windy - yes, I can hear the wind!
Lori, glad to hear that your clinical placement is going well and you're really enjoying it. Did you ever get the grade for your paper that was returned with the notes on it? You may have told us your grade and I just forgot or missed it.
Lolly, sorry you won't get to see your new toy this weekend - I know how anxious you must be!
Jo, how did the sleepover go?
Schoolwork, cleaning the upstairs, and doing laundry are on my agenda for today. Have a good one everyone!
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDS
I HEAR THE WIND AT THE NEST
I see a light dusting of snow in the nest also :-(
colors on still cam
and now on live
Good morning Judy - have a good day at work!
Didn't notice the snow in the nest when I first opened the live feed - wow! No snow here.
Lori, I've been meaning to say that you kept your avatar the same for so long that it's timely again! Will you update it if/when we get new eggs this year? :)
good morning! Saturday!
Just a few min before I start the yearly number crunching.
Must have coffee first though.
Today is, hopefully, Michael’s last day @ Jiffy Lube. Tomorrow he begins his orientation as a professional truck driver. He will hit the road Monday/Tuesday with a trainer.
LORI: Instead of Michael packing sheets, etc for this truck driving job, at least while he is in orientation, he is going to take a sleeping bag. I had that downstairs storage room all kinds of torn up looking for it. I have bins bins bins everywhere. I have bins of belly dance stuff (3, to be exact), a bin of sentimental I can’t stand to get ride of it stuff (only 1), bins of Olivia’s art and school work (1) out of season clothing, etc. And someone in there is a bin of blankets, etc. Had to locate it. I need to write on it that that’s whats in that bin.
The room this is in is a small used tobe bedroom. It also holds all sorts of stuff, like our bicycles, the freezer, roll away beds. It was quite a sight, me in the middle of everything, I’m sure. Lol.
Plans. Well, today is Sylvan for Olivia. Then Amelia wants us to come see her cheer. She is on a cheerleading squad. So we will likely do that.
Tom and I are planning another date night. Do some dancing.
Somewhere in there the house work calls, and yes, taxes are needing to tended to.
Hopefully everyone has a lovely day! Light, love, hugs and smiles!
Morning all!
Pretty dusting of snow overnight ..sunny and cold.
Michael and Laura will be arriving this morning all..they spent the night at Michael's friends house in Thurmont .
Party at 1..then come back here to take down the Christmas tree..then back up to Johns later to hang out.
So the smoke detector battery was chirping like a bird last night but isn't this morning all..i guess because it'swarmer in here this morning..have to get the ladder out to change it..it's the one at the top of the cathedral ceiling here in the kitchen /living room.
No wrapping paper!! Thank goodness for gift bags..lol
Good Morning Eagle Buds !
Had a super day with Seth yesterday--Piada's Italian Street Food was delicious and my now adult grandson took care of all details--where to sit, getting drinks, clean up afterwards. It snowed pretty heavily while we were eating, and we went on to Kroger so I'd not have to get out again til' next week. Then home with the grosseries--he was helpful throughout ! We enjoyed an afternoon of games, conversation, hot chocolate and cookies..... Hugh staying out for Happy Hour with the guys from the office, so Julie brought over pizza n' salad--quite the Italian immersion day for us !
He'll be back tonight for the usual routine and food will be Mexican--taquitos and trimmings.
LORI, Malcolm wasn't along--he's refusing to do more than stick his nose out the door on frigid days. He's paper trained--a spot in the basement--what a blessing that is. Have tried to train Penny, but no luck. She hates the bitter cold, too, and gets right down to bizness when we go out !
LOLLY, thinking of you and you prepare for a pizza night with your dear son ! Happy Birthday to Michael !
JO, I know you had a grand time with your Miracle Michael and the kids last night !
PAULA, thanks for the reminder. I can't change the batteries in my smoke alarms either and it's time to ask Hugh to change them before that annoying beeping starts ! Enjoy your dear Michael and his beloved this weekend ! It's all about Michael's right now !!!!
SANDI, so glad your mom's pain level is now low and much more tolerable. Is she staying at your sister's house at this time ?
Good morning,
Brr, it looks cold and windy at the nest. I hear sounds there, too. And I am blogging away here in my bed. Not three hours behind Lori, but in jeans and a sweater. I sent Hunter away for the rest of the weekend with his dad.
I am going to gather up my bowling stuff and get some practice in soon. Tonight, Susan is to come down and we'll continue with birthday celebrations. It may be just Will and Susan and me, as it seems Kathryn has tentative plans with her friends and we never know what Rus might do. Life can get complicated with multiple adult children, so I just roll along with it all.
Sorry about the trailer delivery delay, Lolly.
Hope that car repairs are going well, Hoda.
Smoke detector batteries--oh, my, I am not sure when we did that, but mine aren't beeping.
My Christmas tree is still standing nude in the living room, Paula. Lots of bins of stuff sitting around needing attention. I want to do some purging before everything is hauled downstairs.
Janet, a sleeping bag for the truck sounds like a good idea, especially when it is so cold. We often used sleeping bags in our trailer and found they worked well for the bunk bed set-up we had for our family.
Good morning!
Sunny, very windy, blue sky here. Windy at the MT nest.
Janet, what an agenda. All the best to Michael with his training. If he needs sheets just check my avatar for a suggestion. Have a wonderful day and date night.
Paula, be careful on the ladder, please. No falls allowed.
Family weekend it seems. Have fun Paula, Jo, Kay, Lolly.
Off to search for more coffee. Agenda today - MD crab cakes and slaw (a once/twice year treat) then heart worm meds for Audrey and Grace and some reading.
Have a wonderful day.
Hoping that the 12-hour work days are getting easier, Margy. Not sure how I would feel about that schedule.
Newbies and near-newbies, you might want to ask Judie about the Sheetz thing. :)
Crab cakes and slaw--yummy. I am the only one in the family who really likes slaw. Really. So I do not get to enjoy it too often.
Time to get decent enough to appear at the bowling alley.
Good morning to all ♥
Sleep over went very well - we may have another night planned... ♥
20° and winds 9mph... Cold..
Panda cam at DC is down - I assume it is because today in Bao's debut.
The Atlanta twins are up at their favorite spot taking a nap while LunLun is in the hammock napping.
Our nest is MT - but dusted with some snow. Sun is shinning but temps to cold to melt just yet.
Good morning, Jo!
Yes, doesn't that snow on the windy but sunny nest look cold this morning?
PixController nest near Pittsburg is really snow covered - no action there.
The NEFL chicks are really growing
I always see full crops on Samson and Delilah.
Decorah nest MT with Snow..
That's the nest report for this morning ♥
Goodorming! Slept late, running late. Need to get busy!
Last minute house straitening, grossssseries to buy, cooking to do!! Going to make a sopapilla cheese cake for Michael. He likes that. Zach called and wanted to ask me a question. "Do you have ice cream?" LOL Told him to tell his Dad that I was cooking liver and onions. Now I love liver and onions but know Michael does not. I am a little ticked with my son!!! I like cooking what he wants but he was a little rude the way he asked for pizza. However, we do get the feeling that Michael is needing or wanting a little "home" time. It has been a while and I think he realizes it.
Thrilled to hear some still have their trees up....even nude trees! Wow! I always feel like I am running late but got ours put up before my birthday this year.
Really need to get busy1 Lots to do!
