Judie said...

Good afternoon everyone.

Had to be out this morning so now catching up.

So nice to see that both Paula and Margy stopped by for a visit. Pleasant surprise.

Paula, congratulations to Michael and his bride. Enjoy the occasion.

Wishing Glo a wonderful visit to bear country.

Hoda, if you hear sobbing in the night you will know your bicycle is sad to be put away for the winter.

Maybe Shirley's car was still on DST and just did not want to wake up. Seriously hope the problem will not be costly.

Congratulations to Jo on the upcoming 56th anniversary.

Margy? What is Empyreal!! Are you typing in tongues?

Lolly, Jospeph will enjoy basketball and soccer and the band. Great variety.

Headed to put my feet up so I can pretend to be Jo. BBL

Mema Jo said...

Good afternoon to all ♥
Starting to think about dinner....
need some comfort food.

Thank you Steve for the new thread
Glad you found it JudyE
I was thinking that other then dawn and dusk visits we would soon get their lunch visits! Our season is
starting to materialize.

BBL

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - the reason school isn't in
session on Election Day is that sites for the voting is usually held in the school buildings.

Hoda said...

Thank you JUDIE.
Thank You STEVE.
I will go read back.

Hoda said...

JUDYE thank you
You were the one who found the thread and the Eagles.
Bicycle rack is off.
The young man who did it for free cycled from BC to Ontario in 25 days. He wanted to surprise his mother.
Sweet lad. He said right at the door he thought she was going to have a heart attack.
She did not. " I love my Mom you know", he told me. Sweet lad...all of twenty five years old.

JudyEddy said...

Mema Jo said...

JUDY E
At 5:41pm I tried to open cam
Mine is a black screen - Is yours now

JudyEddy said...

Yep its black now the sun went down the night lite came on with the visit and now we are black I wonder if the new cam will have night vision I guess the night vision was on the live feed and not the still huh

JudyEddy said...

Belle had tried out the nest bowl or cup two times I think they like that soft grass

Mema Jo said...

I agree Judy that the grass is a
great comfy flooring for the nest.
Won't get muddy in the rain and snow.

grannyblt said...

Missed seeing eagles again. Oh well there is tomorrow. Maybe the grass is some sort of weed that was nipped by the frost?

When I worked for HISD in an elementary school, there was school on Election Day. The voting booths were in one end of a short hallway and the students (KDG) were relocated that day.

paula eagleholic said...

good evening all

Watch out the deer are on the move. A truck in front of me hit a six point buck tonight. He was okay but the grill was demolished. I stopped behind him and put on my four ways. He called his son to come get the deer who did die. At least he will be put to good use. It was hard to see him suffer but he didn't suffer for too long. I am very fortunate the guy in the truck hit the deer and not me.

janet congratz on your new puppy he looks like a cutie.

nick is wondering why it is so dark out. I hate the time change except I do get up on time. Going to put nicks blinking light on his collar and take him for a walk... Since the winds have calm down its not too bad out.

paula eagleholic said...

well we had a lovely walk... The moon is in an out of the clouds so it was somewhat moonlit walk.
So I haven't had a chance really to watch our nest. My internet its all on my phone although I can connect my computer to it. But between Larry and I we are really using the gigs. Now I know how Lori and lynne felt.

Well got to go get some chores done and watch the blacklist at 10. Anyone else watch it?

I really like this talk to text much easier than typing.

stronghunter said...

Good evening,

Turns out the battery was the problem with my car. I was very impressed with the repair shop because I got there at about 12:00 and made a 12:30 doctor's appointment.

Judie said...

Evenin' all.

Paula, glad you were not involved with personal injury or car damage. Very sorry, of course, for the deer.

Am headed across the hallway to put my feet up, again, and let my eyes get ready for sleep.

Sandperson will be packing up and on the way and night light will be on at 11pm.

Restful sleep for all.

Janet said...

good evening all. THANKS STEVE for the new thread.

JUDYE: glad you found you phone.

PAULA; glad you are okay!!!!

THANKS to ALL for the congrats on Dax. He is fitting in great. Not nippy ... very sweet and cuddly.

Its been a very busy day. Went and did the grocery shopping. With the $$ from the Walmart savings catcher (yes, I got it back, all $40. 0f it!) and coupons, I saved about $60!

Then it was put the groceries away time....had lots of help so that wasn't bad.

Chelsea and Lorelei stopped by.

Now its evening. Watch some tv and relaxing!

Hope everyone has had a great day! Hugs!

paula eagleholic said...

haven't tried the savings catcher yet janet..might have to give it a try

stronghunter said...

Okay, I have a mystery to present:

Two boys from the neighborhood came by and asked for an egg. "Why do you want an egg?" I asked.

"I want to eat it," Kid answered.

I said no. I did not hear anything like "My mom is cooking dinner and needs an egg."

Now, friends, what in heck would those boys be wanting with an egg here a few nights after Halloween?

stronghunter said...

And with that, I will be saying SED to all of my friends.

Hoda said...

SHIRLEY, vandalism here happens either before or after Halloween.

Thank God PAULA you were not the one who hit the deer. Glad the meat is going to be dressed and used.

We are doing the rain routine till Friday...

Darker much darker when I went to my afternoon Yoga class.

Stay well all.
PRAYERS and LIGHT ...

Hi all! Had a long, wonderful day outside! We got a lot done! Will stay indoors tomorrow....rain coming, or so they say!

Paula, thank goodness it wasn't you that hit the deer.

We voted early last week. Voted at the sub courthouse here in Burleson. Tomorrow our precinct votes at a church.

Time to start shutting down. Night all! SED!

Good Morning Eagle Buds


OOPS STILL CAM IS STUCK AGAIN ON 534AM

Sandi said...

Goodorming my eagle friends. The dogs let me sleep in til 6:10am - I really do wish they understood "days off."

Yesterday was pretty chilly but today is supposed to warm up. The winds over the weekend and then the cold temps Sunday night finally killed all of my summer flowers in pots. So I'll use my day off today to empty all the pots and put them away.

Denny uses the blower on the leaves on the driveways every 2-3 days but there are still plenty more to fall.

Margy and Paula, great to see you on the blog yesterday - please visit more often.

Judie, how is the new lawn doing? Any more destruction?

Shirley, I bet you can figure out where that egg would have gone, and it wouldn't have been in any kid's stomach.

Got an email from my sister-in-law yesterday "just asking" about a .38 revolver that Mom had supposedly told my brother he could have when she died. The revolver belonged to our grandfather. It was in a shoebox in Mom's closet and Mom had shown Brian exactly where it was in her closet and specifically told him it was his after she died - the conversation took place in January of 2013, shortly after she was diagnosed with the last aneurysm and she elected not to have it repaired.

Brian had gone to visit Mom before going back to Tanzania and they were going through old family photos b/c Brian was just starting to research the family on ancestry.com. Fortunately, he took photos of the gun in his hand in Mom's bedroom that evening so he could trace the serial number and find out how old the gun was.

I called Brian last night to talk about Jane's email and he told me about the photos. I asked him to email one of them to me, and forwarded it to my brother and sister-in-law along with Brian's emailed explanation that his grandmother had specifically stated that she wanted him to have that gun and that's who was keeping it. Period. Why would my sister-in-law bring it up now, after all this time? I thought I was finished being angry with my brother but Jane's email got me revved up again.

Not sure if I mentioned this on Sunday but we had a student overdose on heroin in the bathroom at the dance last Friday. He is currently on 10-day suspension pending a police investigation; he will probably be expelled and be sent to an alternative school. The kids were very close-mouthed about the whole incident in school yesterday. We're guessing there were more kids involved and they don't want to tell on anyone else. Middle schools are becoming such scary places. I didn't even know you could get heroin in pill form!

OK, I have rambled on enough - making up for not being on the blog over the weekend, I guess.

Have a great day all.

Janet said...

good grief! SANDI! that's awful! now, I remember when I was in 7th grade, a "friend" took a handful of pills, whatever another "friend" had gotten from "somewhere:. I remember being in the in the lunchroom when she collapsed. another girl and I "narked" told on them....and thus ruined any chance of having any friends from that day forward...but she lived.

heading to work today. tom is off. gonna let livvy sleep a little.

she seems to be adjusting to Dax. she wasn't pleased.

anywho, gotta feed everyone...thinking of each of you.

have a great day!

Mema Jo said...


Sent cam frozen alert to NCTC



Mema Jo said...

Good morning to all ♥

I need to read comments -
Have I told you that I HATE this time change.......

BBIJAM

Mema Jo said...

Good morning again...
Sandi - it is appalling what this age
has brought to the young children.. I
consider middle school still the young.. :(

Already voted - hate the thoughts of all the election returns on the TV coverage.

No plans for the day at this time
I'll keep my eye on the cam so I can holler when it is restored....
Judy will probably find it at lunch

BBILW

Judie said...

Good morning to everyone.

Mornin' Jo.

Sandi, what a very unpleasant situation with your brother and sister-in-law. Sure hope it all settles down quickly. Also hope the student who overdosed gets help. Oh, the lawn - no further damage and the grass is growing nicely.

Janet, so happy your coupons were returned. Did not expect that to happen. Also nice that Dax is blending with the family.

Hope Lolly gets some rain.

Quiet day here. Will venture out to vote later.

Mema Jo said...

Watching the cheetahs They paired off and had fight/play activity
Now mom is in on it... lol They calmed down but one little cub is

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!

JO, I'm with you on the time change! Penny's inner clock does not agree with it at all, so we're going by her's.

SANDI, I'm with the others in being appalled and amazed by the OD incident and by your SIL's message. Glad Brian will keep the gun in his possession. He will prize it's antique value in accordance with your dear Mother's wishes.

JUDIE, glad the lawn is thriving and happy to hear you're venturing out to vote. I voted via absentee ballot days ago. The turnout in this Mid-term election will be very disappointing, but I still believe in voicing my opinion in every election.

MARGY n' PAULA, tickled pink to see you here again!

Yesterday's aquatic exercise did me in again--I don't think I checked in with y'all. Guess the "no pain, no gain" adage is true and that my aches prove how badly my bod needs the workout. I feel real good while in the water which, thankfully, is tepid and comfortable.

Penny and I are enjoying a gorgeous Fall day---now 59° so will top out in the mid to high 60's. Wahoo!

Love and Prayers for all!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Lolly said...

Good morning! We had a load of wood delivered and stacked this morning and now the rain has started!!!! Now let's see how long it lasts. Temp is also dropping. Presently 60.

So, I will enjoy the day inside, thinking of all I accomplished yesterday.😄

This summer we called and called the builder of our ponds. He finally returned our call and in late July came and looked at the pond. We cleaned the upper pond and wanted him to clean the lower pond. He had a few projects ahead of us, or so he said. We never heard from him. Dear patient Jack did not call. I finally talked him into calling and again we waited for a return call. It's November!!! So, yesterday we called a pond cleaning service. An interesting lady came out and hopefully will be cleaning the pond next week. I am a little dubious about her. Would rather have he guy who built the pond work on it. We really like him, but not so much his boss, the owner.

Have a wild,big eyed cat running around the house growling! She is full of it this morning!

Jo, is your kitty still showing up?

Temp is now down to 58!

I guess if Glo is in it she is also watching a polar bear at this time

Hoda said...

Good morning !
Not surprised SANDI as to the over dose.
15 years ago, before I retired, I raised the flag on drugs and prostitution in the elementary school in our town. I was a high school teacher. Based on what I was hearing in the hallways I had concerns. Our district refused to do anything about it saying I was over reacting.
It turns out I was not! High school boys were grooming and pimping! What is a senior doing dating a grade five student I had asked the district!!!

It bothers me.

Rainy day here.
Grey weather is settling in the Valley.
I buy my ski pass this week.
Ski swap volunteer on the weekend.
Course on heart health the weekend.
African Supper cooking with Grans on the weekend.
SPCA supper fund raiser on weekend.
With the usual yoga and meditation and exercise.

JudyEddy said...

HELLOOOOOOOO on lunch


be sure to checkout Google for Election day

JudyEddy said...

I seeee still working


HERE EAGLE

HERE EAGLE

JudyEddy said...

SANDI So sad about the kid that age with that kind of drugs The world today is scary

JANET I must have missed it YOU GOT YOUR coupons back?

SHIRLEY did you find your BOOK?

YEAH
MARGY AND PAULA have returned to the fold
Both of you have been missed

stronghunter said...

Good afternoon,

Bowled and then voted. I had to chase around to find the correct place to vote. Two schools next door to each other. Voting at both. I seem to manage to go to the wrong one first. Oh well, not a big deal.

Yes, I found the book, Judy. I had the book in addition to the same story on CD's so I can listen when I am in the car, so I finished it in the car before I located the book.

So nice to be hearing from Margy and Paula again.

stronghunter said...

Good question, Hoda. I agree that a senior in high school should not be dating a 5th grader. Gracious sakes.

Hope the kid with the overdose recovers and gets help, Sandi. Really sad situation. Very sad that the drugs are being made available to these young kids.

stronghunter said...

I think Janet just got the Walmart savings deal back.

stronghunter said...

Glad it wasn't you who hit the deer, Paula. We were right behind someone who hit a deer years ago. Poor guy was so upset that he'd damaged his nice car that he didn't even turn the engine off, and there was water from the radiator running all over the street. My husband reached into his car and turned the engine off before more damage was done.

stronghunter said...

I did want to tell you that Hunter and Anthony have been texting each other.

Mema Jo said...

Good afternoon to all ♥

I always try to watch New Tricks at 2pm - but sometimes for me it is a repeat. I am watching all these
Hallmark Thanksgiving and Christmas
shows. Love the light heartedness
that they are.

Kit is still coming around - Always comes in to eat eat eat and drink his milk. He likes to follow hubby when he is in during the evening hours. He will sleep on my stand next to my recliner and then if I need to get up to go potty he runs to the back door.. at times it is only 5am but I let him out if the weather is good. It is 68° now and no wind. Rather pleasant. Kit (No Name Yet) does use the litter box.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - I am thankful Hunter and
Anthony are communicating. Is Anthony back in school yet?

NatureNut said...

Sneaking in for a sec. When leaving the Park tody, will only have a little less that an hour to do any scouting. I was torn between searching out the marsh marigolds to see if they did turn into beggarticks! BUT, since I was able to get a tiny glimpse of the eagle nest from the road this AM, I think I'll have to stop there! Probably won't be any birds, but just seeing the nest again without crawling through the jungle will be special!!
Later !!☺ ☺ ♥ ♥

Mema Jo said...

Good luck Loretta in a sighting of the nest... just perhaps an eagle could be there.

Mema Jo said...

Today I received the 2 rolls of Eagle in Flight wrapping paper. One of them is now my avatar and in a few days I will put on the black & white sample that I also got.
It is from Spoonflower - and Lee Owen designed it with our comments on FB.

http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/designsbylee

Mema Jo said...

5:31 and it is pitch black out...
Oh I don't like this time change...
I can see the tree trunk on our cam and nothing else.........

No one seems to have seen our
Royal Couple........

Lolly said...

Has rained I all day. Close to one inch now and it is supposed to continue. 😀

Had to go to the bank. Everyone was so cheerful! It is 57, raining and she says "Enjoy the weather!" Lol

JudyEddy said...





NOPE JO I waited to go to Jordyn gym class we were stood up I guess





JudyEddy said...

JO and with winter coming the sun will be setting earlier each night I have never like the time change STUPID I think

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

stronghunter said...

Jo, Anthony has been back at school for awhile now. A handicap bus comes to get him and brings him home. He uses a wheelchair part of the time.

Hoda said...

I would appreciate some updates on the numbers for the Senate. No commentary, I know we are not political. Just a report on the numbers or PM me on FB. I am not hearing much here...
Did the woman win in Texas for Governor?

Wet wet wet here!
Did I say wet?
Well it is...
will stay the same for the rest of the week.
Warm and wet...one layer of clothing but my heavens do need a rain proof coat...

Glad to hear from you all...
Love you much.
Missing SHAR she had a terrific convention and I would like to know about the medical condition...SHAR ARE YOU THERE???

grannyblt said...

Hoda, the polls closed only 30 minutes ago in TX. From what I've heard, Wendy Davis was not expected to win.

Hoda said...

Thank you LORETTA...

Janet said...

quick good evening to all.

No, sorry, my comment must have been misleading. I did NOT get my coupons and binder back....but I did (per JUDYE's suggestion) contact savings catcher and they reissued my gift card and I checked in and no one had cashed it in....so I made SURE I used it when we went shopping. I have also reprinted many coupons as they come out weekly. I would have had a bit more, butdon't feel so badly now. and yes, the new binder has my first ne and phone # in it.

it puzzles me though what happened to the last one.....

its been a busy day. I find myself tired tonight. early bedtime ahead for me. shower time shortly....

yes, I am most pleased wiith Dax's blending in. he has made himself right at home. :) When I got home from work today he started "screaming" til I paid attention to him! he was LOUD. lol. aaaaaoooooooooooooo!!!

okay, so I guess he missed me.

it has been a quiet afternoon. we went to big lots and picked up a few things.

not a lot else going on. calling it a night! sweet dreams!

stronghunter said...

Watching the election results now, Hoda. I will fill you in when results are reported.

paula eagleholic said...

I voted today. Very small district. No school nearby so we voted at the firehall.

Enjoy your rain Lolly!

Hoda said...

Thank you SHIRLEY.
I only get BBC coverage and they are speculating and giving scenarios...
Again no commentary so we can respect our rule of no politics. Periodic reports of results only are greatly appreciated...
Thank you...

stronghunter said...

Election News

Hoda, maybe you can connect to election news with this link.

stronghunter said...

Republicans need only 3 more senate seats to get a majority.

Hoda said...

Thank you SHIRLEY
The link works.
I will watch it there.
Much appreciate it.

stronghunter said...

Glad you are interested in our political stuff, Hoda.

Hoda said...

SHIRLEY how you all vote affects the rest of the world. It stuns me the low voter turn out.
The rest of us would give anything to be able to vote in a U.S. election. Of course it is a privilege of citizenship. I also think it is a duty and a responsibility. Your votes tonight don't only affect you, rather every other country on this planet. Blessed Be. We are all holding our collective breaths!

stronghunter said...

I agree it is a duty and responsibility, Hoda.

Lolly said...

Have not watched any results this evening. I am sure I will get my fill of it watching the news.

Meant to get a lot accomplished today but afraid it did not turn out that way. Did cook chili and cornbread for dinner tonight.

Laurel had a watch she wanted to repair. She had been told at two places that repair would be $100. I took it to my jewelry store where I am known and they replaced the battery and it runs. They kept it and going to check it tomorrow. I called and told Laurel that now I was going to have to shop for her birthday. No problem, she told me, she would gladly take $100 cash to buy clothes! So, that is my plan plus 4 place settings of her everyday dishes. They arrived today.

Night all! SED!!

Yesterday turned out to be a big day for the Republican Party - took control of the Senate and maintained control of the house. And MD has a Republican governor! Wow!

Shirley, glad to hear that Hunter and Anthony are in communication.

One day of school and then another day off - I can do this.

Have agreat day all.

We are really going to have a very good view of the egg cup this season

Announcement: The proceeds of $100
from the Luncheon's 50/50 has been
sent into Friends of NCTC in the name of Eaglet Momsters/Dadsters Group.
The $93 was brought up another $7 just to round it off ! lol I will be issuing an email about donations
very soon since you can now mark where you want your money to go - Eagle Cam equipment! They are looking into the type of equipment now for the 2015-2016 season.

Judie said...

Good morning everyone.

Yes, I was MIA last night. Tired and went to sleep early. Sandman took off around 10:30.

Jo, thank you for taking care of the donation business for us. You are appreciated. Also, really like the eagle wrapping paper design.

Shirley, happy to know that Hunter and Anthony are communicating. Perhaps the relationship is healing along with Anthony's leg.

Sandi is having an "almost" vacation week. Enjoy. Any new drama with the BFF?

Janet, so glad Dax is fitting in. How is Sable responding?

Another quiet day for me. Just some paperwork to take care of and maybe some laundry.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day. BBL

Mema Jo said...


Mid morning

EAGLE ALERT

SHEP, I THINK

Mema Jo said...

Shep left and then Belle came in just for another minute or so.

NOW MT NEST

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds !!!

JO, you are a gem, coming through for we Momsters, as always. Thank you! Prayers for Miracle Michael!

SHIRLEY, pleased for Hunter and Anthony! The healing has begun for both!

Stayed up late watching election coverage and feeling blah today for having lost sleep. Why did I do this when the results were widely predicted and unsurprising. Guess I like kicking my own behind every now and then. Penny and I may do some early napping!

Love and Prayers for all !!!

Hoda said...

MISS LOLLY! LOLLYPALOUZING ailment has spread to my flat!
It is not even ten in the morning and I did two loads of laundry, vacuumed, washed windows, and want to ask a question.
What do you all do to clean the underside of the stove top hood. I have an old stove, not at all self cleaning and such!
Wiping it is not enough. Any suggestions. Please help.
Thanks.

I also cooked squash, sweet potatoes and beans for soups. I have enough for three meals each so that is nine meals in the freezer! Yay!

Now off to vote in our municipal election. To yoga.

Hoda said...

Blessings to Miracle MICHAEL and Safe Travels.
Thank you for eagle report JO.
Glad you checked in JUDIE.

Did I tell you it is raining in these here parts?
Well it is.
Don't have to go outside or look out the windows to know!
My hair tells me so!
Can we say frizzy???
Tuques are good to have! Yay tuques!

Good Afternoon Eaglebuds. Had an appt. at Georgetown & just got home to go to Chelsea.
Konked out last night, but gotta tell you my eagle nest exploring results from TU PM. Parked car near nest, walked down the road 'til I could see nest. Then a car drove on down behind me and a GIANT bird flew out of trees in front and to left of nest tree! At first I figured it was a vulture, but NO. This eagle flew past and behind the nest into the tree edge. Of course camera was still in the bag, but I later took a couple pics of nest, crawled thru the jungle, but still never saw the landed bird. We need a tree trimmer!!!
Might put a nest pic in Nook this PM.
Prayers for good healthy day for ALL ☺ ♥

Good afternoon my eagle budlets. I feel so out of touch with everybody. Can someone please post the happenings of the last couple of months? Just kidding. I pray everyone is okay.

Sad to hear about the kid overdosing. I am not sure I agree with expelling the kid. I think removing them from the school and making them feel even more different than they did before (I know a lot of kids do dope just to feel like they belong), maybe treat the problem instead, which is addiction.

Anyway, I love us and miss everybody.

Good afternoon. No eagle in nest right now, but it certainly is promising when they visit mid day.

Haven't done anything noteworthy this week. Today I made a Boston Cream Pie-cake for a meeting tomorrow. The chairman of the committee always seems to come up with refreshments that no one has made in years. We all agreed to make it via cans and mixes. I was doing fine until I decided the chocolate topping(frosting from a can) was too thick and decided to thin it a bit. Now it is not setting up, but oh well. Maybe they will have me bring the nuts and mints next time.
Lolly, I found the mink collar, but my William ignored it. I think I'll rub some catnip on it.

grannyblt said...

Hoda, you need to ask Sandi about your cleaning problem. I seem to remember that she cleans the bathroom fixtures with vodka and may have a good tip for you. Hope my mind isn't playing tricks on me about that one.

Lolly said...

Lynne, wonder why your kitty ignored the collar. I bought the collar for a suit I made while in college. Have not worn in in over 45 years. LOL Once years ago, our kitty, Ah So, tried to kill it. He loved it but I would not let him have it. After all it was mink and I paid $10 for it!! Dug it out and Skippi has gone ape over it. I also made her a bed out of an old sweatshirt of Jack's. She climbed into the bed while I was still sewing it up. She is asleep now in it. Victory!

Since I am not working around the house I have the still cam up. Time for me to get an eagle fix!

Hoda...not sure I understand. The underside of the Vent hood? I use a degreaser and also have a filter to remove and clean in soapy water.

Janet said...

good afternoon to all.

its been a good day.

work was fine. glad to be back to work on Wednesday!

JUDIE: Sable is declining. The prednisone used to perk her up, but she's gone back to the lay around all the time. She lifts her head, checks things out....goes out, potties, gets up to eat and then back asleep. She doesn't seem to be in pain. Very excited when one of us eats something that might interest her (uh, anything). But she's slipped/fallen about 1 or 2x a week lately....just don't know. not thinking its time...yet but it is coming. she looks more skeletal, muscles are atrophying.

Thank you for asking. For now, its status quo.

She is fine with Dax. They sniff noses and he really doesn't bother her.

I want to snap a pix with the two of them, though.

Mr. Beano was not pleased that Dax was in the bed with us last night. He did finally settle down and snuggle against my back as per the usual.

Dax was snuggled against my stomach, in case you were wondering.

Livvy said she's not feeling well today and is back asleep. Not sure if she picked up a virus from over @ Chelsea's or if she is over tired.

I made a soup for today. It has black beans, lentils, carrots, onion, and I added some kilbasa to it. It also has garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and oregano. It smells wonderful Good day for soup. Rainy. Coolish. Gonna make some corn bread as well.

Will check in later ya'll...hugs to all!

JudyEddy said...

HELLOOO honey I am home how was your day


SIS the soup sounds good I shall be right over I will bring cornbread LOL
The vet told us that animals don't usually show pain, due to if they were in the wild then they would be targets He said at times they suffer in silence so sad

HOPE LIVVY feels better pronto


grannyblt said...

Lolly, my cat is 3 yrs. old and not at all playful. He was a barn cat and would rather play with live toys. This cat mom does not approve of that.

JudyEddy said...

SHAR welcome back you have been missed on the blog We see you on FB but the non facebooker don't get to see your smiling face over there We need to conform them don't ya all think

JudyEddy said...

LYNNE1 you are no fun for your kitty HUH no live stuff NOT FAIR LOL

my last cat would always bring in live stuff I didn't like it at all Snakes, birds, rats, lizards (I didn't mind them) He was a stray I took in a while back

JudyEddy said...

Getting our rain now -

Wondering if we will have an evening visit

I am at the dinner table
I'll check back later.

Hoda said...

LOLLY what is the name of the degreaser?
I remove the vents and clean them with soap, water and vinegar... I hardly use any grease when I cook, but the underside of the fan side paneling is hard to clean. With my arms up I do not have much power and it is awkward. So if you know of a cleaner/degreaser that would help me let me know. Environmentally friendly would be great! None allergy trigger would be heaven. I could wear a mask.
Vodka oh I remember vodka! Those days are looooong gone. I laughed when SANDI wrote about that...not sure how much she drank and how much went into cleaning.

Sandi said...

Hi all!

Hoda, try a product called Krud Kutter. It's a cleaner/degreaser/stain remover. The front of the bottle says it's "non-toxic, Earth friendly and biodegradable." The back calls it "a proprietary blend of biodegradable surfactants, detergents, and emulsifiers, in a water-based solution. No petroleum solvents, bleach, or ammonia." Comes in a non-aerosol spray. Good luck with that range hood!

Four more arrests have been/are being made for possessing and distributing drugs at school. One of my special ed. students was selling the stuff in the bathroom - some type of heroin in a tablet form that dissolves under the tongue. He will not be back in school this year.

Shar, I understand your point of view but middle schools really MUST have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to buying, selling, and using illegal drugs. And expulsion doesn't mean the kids are out on the streets. It means they will attend an alternative school for 180 days (a full school year) where counseling is part of every school day.

Need to finish fixing dinner. Bye!

WildlifeCenterVa-bald eagle flying exercise for future release

Lolly said...

So excited! On the news.....an eagle nest about an hour away. They built last year on a power tower. After they raised their family the electric company cut out a big section of the tower, wrapped up the nest to protect it, and moved it to a new tower built for them! Awesome! Eagles returned and went to old tower and showed signs of building a new nest, but recently flew to their nest on the new tower! Also they have a solar powered cam!! I have a meeting to go to, but will work on getting the cam info. We are talking about going to find the nest. It is in a wetlands area! smart Eagles.,

JudyEddy said...

OH LOLLY so eagleciting that you found a nest

JudyEddy said...

I feel so lucky to have so many nest in my area 5 in towers and hundreds of others in trees

JudyEddy said...

my delete the first video didn't play so I got the youtue link

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Sandi, thanks so much for the clarification. So they do treat the problem. That is awesome and I do understand the zero tolerance policy. It is just nuts at the things happening in middle school. Everyone on here knows my history, so I will tell you that I was 11 years old when I smoked a joint for the first time and 12 when I drank my first beer. I will say the drugs that were available in my day are nothing compared to what these children are getting into now. So sad. I also know that when I was in the 8th grade, one of my dearest friends, Lisa Oberson, had gotten into huffing Pam (aerosol) from a bag. I was always fearful of that for some reason. Her dad came home one night about midnight and found her dead on her couch, with the can of Pam and the bag right beside her. She was such a beautiful girl, such a wasted life.

JudyEddy said...

got another one from my news tonight Dog lovers watch this

Hoda said...

SHAR it is tough and you are a gracious lady with your honesty and your strength and your empathy and compassion. Blessed be dear friend, blessed be...

Costume Lady said...

Good Evening Friends,
Another update on GG. Last night, she was transferred to a skilled nursing home for rehabilitation. They will give her therapy twice a day for 6 days a week. She is now eating soft foods, she can get her water off her tray and sip it through a straw without too much difficulty. Today, she smiled at everyone who came into her room, whereas, she hadn't been smiling at anyone but me and Karla. I do have hopes that she may improve enough to go home with Hospice care. We shall see. Prayers would be appreciated that she may be with us a while longer!
Love to all ♥

Hoda said...

Thank you WANDA for GG report. Prayers continue that God's Will be Done...
Blessings to you and your family.

grannyblt said...

Wanda, thanks for the GG update. I too, hope she can return home.

Lolly said...

Actually this is not the cam but the link to the article about the eagles . There is a link to the cam at the end of the article.

Lolly said...

Texas Eagle Cam

Okay, here is the link to the cam. Solar powered, some days...no power! Like the last two days!

Lolly said...

Awesome, Wanda, that GG had smiles for everyone. Does she understand what is going on? Hope you have her a while longer, too!

Judie said...

Good evening everyone.

Such hopeful news about Miss GG improving and once again offering that amazing smile for everyone to enjoy. Wishing her peace and comfort.

Early but I am tired. Headed to the pillows soon.

Sandperson is packing a satchel. Jufie has been sedated. Night light is on.

Restful sleep for all.

Nest is MT.

Have a great day all.

Janet said...

good morning to all.

JUDYE: re: the comment about animal pain. I know. she is on 50 mg of tramadol 2x daily, can have up to 100mg of tramadol 2x daily....and dr. k said she has more "tricks up her sleeve" if need be. its just difficult. I have other methods to discern what it going on and I use them...

work day. hopefully livvy feels better. she was running a slight temp last night.

love to all. have a great day!
