The weather man just said Its a wonderful day for JULY got my attention he was referring to the heat we had today and the humidity its been like that for a day now but we do have a cold front coming by Sunday then will be in lo 80 again

Judie said...

Good early evening.

So hoping that Finn is found quickly. So frantic and emotional to have a lost pet.

JudyE, wishing peace and comfort for your friends.

Glo, maybe a little thunder shirt would help Patches. Kitty prayers for Zoey.

Lynne1, ah the adventures of feline nail clipping. My motto is catch them when asleep and also remember the flat eared attack eye look. lol

Darth and I are off to the Kennedy Center tonight. musical about Carol King's life and music. Got a good review.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

stronghunter said...

Good to see that things seem to be working out for the pigs to stay, Lynne. I have been worrying about them. My Susan does have connections with animal rescue people, but I have never heard her mention pigs.

stronghunter said...

Oh my, Lynne1. I wouldn't want to mess with a flat-eared cat. Wonder if your vet has decent prices for a simple visit for claw trimming?

stronghunter said...

Enjoy your visit to the Kennedy Center, Judie.

I need to head downstairs to put together dinner. Tacos tonight.

Need to sneak some of the soft drinks I purchased up to my own refrigerator. They disappear too quickly when left near Hunter.

stronghunter said...

Hoping Finn is located soon.

stronghunter said...

Hoping Zoey is feeling better.

NCSuzan said...

Afternoon all.

Yes, I remember Norma. Special lady. Happy Birthday!

Judie, PPO has one owlet so far!!!! Will post the pic on my blog in just a few minutes. She said Poppa flew back as soon as she stepped out to take the photo so we have to try and see a baby!

Having lost everything in a flood I can identify with the people in South Carolina. It will be a long and very difficult road to try and capture some sense of normalcy for them. My daughter and son-in-law are trying to arrange some time to go and volunteer. My heart goes out to all the people and pets that have been touched by the storm.

Ok, for some reason I am jibber jabbering and your time is more valuable than that! Got to post that pic!

Have a great evening!

Janet said...

Good Friday evening to one and to all!
JUDYE: so sad for that family. My heart and thoughts are with them thru this difficult time…..
SANDI: so hoping you get over your tennis flu. I hear it’s a rough virus. (wink wink)
And I sincerely hope the kitty comes home…..poor baby
GLO: hope Zoey feels better lickety split!
HI CAROLANNE
Its been a busy day. We had rain move thru earlier. Cooler temps on the way.
Livvy is doing okay with the braces. As of last night her teeth were still “a little sore”….but I see her food consumption returning to normal stuff and more normal amounts. This is an indicator that the pain is subsiding. Thankfully, all we have as far as dental this coming week are cleanings!!! Thank you for asking.
She is not however getting along with the idea of algebra. We went round and about this afternoon.
Need some eagle watching to bring my b.p. down!
Calling it a night. Car is packed for the morning. I am finishing up the last 2 rocks. And I see an early bedtime! Night all!

Zoey sleeping in my lap. Meds stopped vomiting. She is so very sweet. I do have a thunder shirt fot Patches and I am sure vet will give me something to help calm her.

Mema Jo said...

Good evening to all ♥
I am sitting here at the table with my VA Great Granddaughter - Samantha
She has lots of homework - in the 8th grade. I cannot be of any help with that math!
Her mom is going to run the race in Shepherdstown early tomorrow !

I see comments here concerning a central contact person with NCTC - Paula & myself shared the responsibilty to be the contact persons - Yes,I am comfortable contacting NCTC to get information and answers for our group. This is now and has been my contribution to our group since 2006. The info I had brought over recently from the OD group about the cam being down - That comment was general knowledge as it was on the comments portion of the OD - It is wise to check out comments under the live feed cam. Deb Stecyk has been a spokesperson for the Hancock Wildlife Foundation and gives us all videos daily on the live feed and was active with the donation process for the new cam equipment.
They are still working on some glitches concerning the new cam equipment. I have no problem with they way we are working together and it is an exceptional point that was made about not having too many contacting NCTC - and we don't.
If I think of any other points I have forgotten to mention - or if you think of some -Speak up or Shout Out!

Mema Jo said...

I want all those needing prayers to know that I have offered them up - I have included
all of our furbabies

Sleep well and pleasant dreams

Sandi said...

Goodorming my eagle friends.

An eagle just arrived in the nest.

DanaMo said...

Drinking coffee watching a lone eagle in the nest. So peaceful. Good morning!

Sandi said...

And now both! Good morning Shepherdstown Eagles!

Sandi said...

Good morning Dana! Good to see you here this AM!

BTW, I have no message from Finn's owner that he was found last night. I will go out and look for him for a while this morning before heading to Rehoboth to spend the day with hundreds of greyhounds.

DanaMo said...

I just love the new camera!

JudyEddy said...

Eagles were in and gone now

JudyEddy said...

Got snips and on fb but will have to wait till get home to put in em album

JudyEddy said...

Getting ready to adventure island

Sandi said...

One eagle still in the nest as I type this. They have done a lot of in and out this morning. Not a lot of nest work has been done but it's been a nice long visit.

glo said...

Good morning. Zoey slept through the night and sits in my lap purring right now. She has nibbled a few bites. Will get meds again this afternoon. I wish she would drink something. Atleast she is not vomiting today and has meds for that all weekend. I sure hope they find that kitten.

Judie said...

Good morning.

Nest is MT.

Lovely morning. Darth will soon be headed to NJ. I will do some errands. Play was terrific.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Mema Jo said...


Another morning visit by The Royal Couple

Good morning BTW

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!

GLO, happy to hear Zoe has leveled out--we're all pulling for her!

SANDI, sure hope Finn has finished his adventure and is ready to head home. Flyers for missing cats appear regularly on telephone poles, etc.., around this neighborhood. They do like to forage afar and most make it home within a few days.

JUDIE, thinking of Darth as he travels northward. May he be safe and enjoy his time in NJ.

DANA, love the fact that you're showing up here more often!

JO, well said re:contact with NCTC. Good point about each of us checking the OD comments below the nest cam---we do that for ourselves and cut down on the number of comments that are copied and pasted here. Deb is another person we can all be grateful for as she champions our dear eagles and their home!

Suzan, how wonderful of you daughter and hubby for being anxious to help flood victims in SC! I can't imagine the horror of losing everything to a flood or fire.

Anyone know why LORETTA is not visiting? I miss her and the accounts of the paradise she works in.

SHIRLEY, I don't know what a "decent" price is for feline or canine nail clipping, but I pay my vet 18 bucks and it's worth every penny--no pun intended!

Just got a call from Julie. She and her visitor from NJ are on their way to see me!

Prayers for all in need!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Mema Jo said...

11:20am MT nest now

Hope all is well with everyone of you!

Jenny is visiting - BBL

stronghunter said...

Checking the nest . . . interesting shadows there. Those buffering lines are playing across the bottom.

Lolly said...

Hi all! We were going out to eat last night, but Michael called and he and Zacharooski came over, spent the night and stayed until early afternoon. Had fun with Zach! Seeing them more often and enjoying it! Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Denton for a soccer game and then out to eat with the Fritz family.

For some reason still not getting sound on my iPad when I have the cam up. Will have to bring it up on my laptop.

I am agreement with all. Have never personally contacted NCTC nor Steve. I really think Jo and Paula are all we need contacting them. Those two have always done an excellent job being our rep!

Mema Jo said...



Evening Visit has Begun

Mema Jo said...


Trying to move large stick -

Mema Jo said...


Both of our eagles are in the nest
Now to get some nestorations done

Mema Jo said...


Looks as though Belle is still in the nest

My Still Cam really locks up - I just turned it off.

I got a few good pics - so I am satisfied

Mema Jo said...


Both are in the nest again/

LOLLY - when the OD buffers I don't think there is sound. But we should be hearing
something. I know the wind sound is not as overbearing as it had been.

Lolly said...

Thanks, Jo! Hurried to the cam. Loved watching them. They have serious work to be done on the nest. Time to get busy! Still no sound. There might have been a little when one took off, but if so, very little sound. Have checked and, yes, my iPad is turned up.

Lolly said...

Whoa! Just went back to the cam. There was one and he took off and I heard it!

JudyEddy said...

Mema Jo said...


Judy you sure did get a lot of snips - 27 or so.
You could really do videos like Deb and Noreen do - except as I said the buffering adds on lots of minutes to videos. I am suspicious when I see 15 or more minutes. lol

Some of my snips and also some of yours aren't good enough to post... must get that cam
panned out.........

C U ALL LATER

Janet said...

good evening to one and to all from a very content but tired Nashville check in.

it was a busy day. the weather could not have been more perfect for the event and it is always lovely to see so many friendly and familiar faces! the tribe (Tuatha Dea) was there, of course and got to hang with them a bit and enjoy their music.

I only sold 2 rocks, but gifted one to one of the band members who liked it and I did a trade for a neat hair clip with another. For me, it was more about being out there and hanging out with everyone.

Looks like everyone has had a pretty good day. Gonna shower here shortly. I think it will be an early night to dent the pillows.....tomorrow is sleep in sunday!

night to all! I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells
I honor the place in you which is of truth, of light and of peace
When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me

Judie said...

Good sort of late evening.

Watched some PBS. Now headed to the pillows. Darth arrived safely in NJ.

Wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.

Lolly said...

Have been watching TCU football. They won, but it was scary! Whew!

Now going to do my nails and try to get to bed a little earlier tonight!

Night all! SED!

JudyEddy said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds


Nest is MT and probably will be till after I am at work

JudyEddy said...

STILL cam is not WORKING

JudyEddy said...

Angie did share the album of yesterday on my timeline on FB unless you are friend with Angie I don't know if you can see it IF someone would let me know if you can't see it I know TAGGING will work and I will do that if it can't be seen

gotta leave in a few min for work I am so sleepy today I guess being out side for 7 hours yesterday did it I am ready for a nap I wonder if I would get one at work LOL

Sandi said...

Goodorming my eagle friends. We have 2 wet-looking eagles on the nest.

The missing cat is home safe and sound - will share details later after my friends and their greyhound leave.
TTFN.

Judie said...

Good morning.

One eagle in the nest moments ago.

Sandi, what a relief for Finn's owner and for all of us. Thanks.

Headed to the scullery. Coffee. Then may try some pruning - butterfly bushes.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

DanaMo said...

Good morning.
Enjoyed relaxing , drinking coffee and working on progress reports this morning since we went to Mass last night.
I even dusted and cleaned a bit. Feeling very accomplished!

DanaMo said...

I don't think I told you guys about Javalin's recent injury. You may remember a couple of years ago she tore her left ACL, well now she tore the right one! Trying to make a wise decision on what to do. So many conflicting opinions on the internet between vets.
Cost estimate came in at $1,200-$1,500. The thing is we did everything we were supposed to do last time and felt that she still ended up with a limp. If she is going to limp anyway and have a long recovery from surgery is it the right thing to do?
Decisions, decisions. The vet who would do the surgery is going to see her today. She is making a home visit. I've taught all her children and she and her husband are both alum. I know she is going to recommend surgery.

Mema Jo said...

Good Sunny Sunday morning to all ♥

There isn't anyone at NCTC to reset Still Cam that went down yesterday - The Live Feed
is doing great so I don't think we will miss anything. Nest is MT for now.

It time to purchase those pumpkins for carving - it sure looks like it has been a
good season for them. One local field has them laying all over. I have 3 out front! Also have my scarecrow boy and girl out there. I love FALL !

Expecting family members today - Even Master Elliot - should be fun! It's a surprise so don't tell anyone that I told you ! lol

I must go and make myself presentable ! Becoming 76 takes a while to do that - lol

grannyblt said...

Good morning.

Good news that Finn is home, Sandi

Jo, I keep hearing reports of pumpkin shortages. I'm most interested in the canned variety. Pumpkin pancakes are a year round thing with me. And I can eat pumpkin pie every week even though it gives me indigestion every time.

Dana, I guess you have a what's best for Javalin decision to make.. I enjoy seeing all your doggie kids on Facebook.

NCSuzan said...

Beautiful Sunday to all!

Sounds like everyone is having a good weekend. My post is for Judie!

You are pruning your butterfly bush? We still have some butterflies and a a rare hummingbird coming to ours and it still has some vibrant purple conical flowers on it. My question.....is it the right time for pruning? We usually let it do its thing and then cut it way back. What horticultural secrets are you hiding??????

Nothing planned for the day except the usual chores. Hope everyone enjoys good health and a good day.

Kay said...

Good Afternoon Eagle Buds!!!

Hope you're all enjoying the same gorgeous Fall day we have here. Penny and I will be outdoors a lot!

SANDI, so glad Finn is back and looking forward to details. Also hoping to hear about the day with greyhounds after your company leaves.

DANA, glad you have a vet who is also a friend. I'm sure she'll give you good advice about the big decisions over Javelin's health and welfare.

JO, our central Ohio picture on pumpkins is pretty grim. We're told to expect higher prices on canned pumpkin for the holiday due to a shortage caused by way too much rain. Any of you planning on a lot of holiday pies should buy now! Also expecting a turkey shortage and higher prices due to that bird flu thing.

Time for lunch. Prayers for all in need!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Janet said...


Good Sunday soon to be afternoon to all!
DANAMO: what are the pros and cons of surgery vs no surgery? I think I’d find out worst case scenario with and without….and best, with and without.
SANDI: so glad Finn is back home!
PUMPKINS: seeing lots around here and decent prices as well. Aldi’s, as usual has the best prices.
JUDYE: loved the pix. So glad you all had a great time.
Now, to tell you of a couple of things from yesterday. So I was sitting in my chair when my friend Callie and her son Anthony come up with this woman…….who appeared to be carrying a wolf. ?????????????? It looked REAL but my mind couldn’t figure it out because it wasn’t moving right…it baffled me. Well, this wolf had been this woman’s furbaby and had died at 16 years old. The woman taxidermied (did it herself!) this wolf and carries it with her.
Live and let live, each to their own…..but I did find it a little freaky for my taste…..I have to say though, she was quite beautiful (the wolf).
Today, going to do a few chores around here and spent some time chilling as well. I made sausage links and pancakes for breakfast.
The weather is perfect again, so I will have to get outside some. I was going to walk Dax, but he and the cat (both in my lap) got into a scuffle this morning and Natasha swatted him and got him in the eye. Poor baby isn’t feeling well at all. If not improved by tomorrow I will take him to see Dr. K. I cleaned it best I could and he is holding It closed. No blood, I think she scratched the cornea.
Will check in later

grannyblt said...

I'm not Judie, Suzan, but my butterfly bush is still blooming . I've missed the last yard waste day until spring, so I'll just do what I've done the last few years. That means I'll let it go until spring, then drastically prune what has been damaged by the cold. Of course it is on the side of the house where I don't venture in winter. Odd side for neighbor too, so not too much of an eyesore. I've been reading lately that they are considered a trash bush and shouldn't be planted. What I really miss in this cold climate is a hummingbird bush that was prolific in my part of TX...and about a hundred other flowers and plants.

Sandi said...

Hi all - nest is curently MT. Have you noticed the grass in the nest is dying/getting trampled down by our industrious duo? Lots of work still needs to be done but there's plenty of time before nesting season.

Well, Sky and her people have left and I would say "mission accomplished!" When we got home yesterday from Greyhounds at the Beach, Denny took one look at Sky and said, "Whoa, that's a big dog!" But throughout last night and today he was able to see how quiet she was, how gentle she was with our 2 little dogs, and how affectionate she was. They're in big bodies but they don't act like big dogs. By the time they left, Denny said, "I could own one of these!"

Yesterday was great fun - to see that many beautiful greyhounds all in one place - WOW!! They all greeted one another very gently and politely with absolutely NO aggression. I'm thinking about contacting the DE greyhound organization about possibly becoming a foster home on occasion.

Before Barb and Sarah left, we drove up to the beach. Barb and Sarah spread out and then Sarah dropped Sky's leash so she could run back and forth between them. A greyhound running is a thing of beauty, esp. on sand instead of on a track wearing a muzzle!

Sooo, the story on the lost cat. Last night at about 11:30 Meg pitched a tent on her deck, right next to Finn's scratching post that he loves. Five minutes later, she heard Finn meowing downstairs in the yard. She carried food down into the yard, sat it down and he came over to it to eat. Meg tried to grab him and he bolted. Meg then spent an hour and a half sitting on the damp, cold ground trying to coax Finn over to her again. He would circle but not come close. Finally she told him if he wanted her, she would be in the tent sleeping.

She fell asleep for about an hour in the tent and then heard her other cat going crazy in the house. She called Finn's name and he walked into the tent. While he was eating, she closed the zipper. When he realized he was trapped, Meg said he went berserk trying to escape! After calming him down for another hour, she called a fiend at 4:30am. The friend drove over, closed Meg's other cat in the bedroom, propped the front door open and, when Meg hollered that she had Finn in a death grip, the friend unzipped the tent and Meg got him in the house.

Finn then proceeded to race around the house screeching in protest at being a prisoner of the house and trying to find a way back outside. I guess he enjoyed being a wild and crazy guy for a few days! I also guess Meg is going to have to be very careful about opening the doors from now on b/c it sounds like Finn would love another chance to escape!

Dana, I wish you well in making the right decision for Javelin. How is Boomerang/Frisbee (I forget which one it is) doing with the tumor that was removed from his paw?

stronghunter said...

Good afternoon,

So glad to learn that Finn is safely home. Kitties here are snoozing in their kitty places. Cheeto did try to snooze on my keyboard for a bit. Fortunately, he is now in the kitty house.

Need to tell Kathryn that if she is going to continue to have Hunter put the laundry in the washer, she might want to check pockets first. He is very good at dumping the stuff in the washer and turning it on, but he does not check pockets. Today, I pulled the wet laundry out and found something heavy in Hunter's pants pocket. I found Kathryn's car keys with the fob for locking and unlocking the door. Fortunately, it still works. Kathryn has told me this key is very expensive--$200? $400? I do not know. Also, there was a group of papers that looked like it might be a homework assignment or something. I know she doesn't like to unload the laundry because she is too short to reach the bottom. Now, I think that is a design flaw. I can barely reach the bottom of the washer.

stronghunter said...

Wow. That is quite a story, Sandi. Wonder what is making Finn so eager to be outdoors? We have had to be careful about our kitties. They are curious about the outdoors. So far, they haven't made an escape.

Dana, I know what you mean about the surgery for Javalin. I recall Kathryn's discussion with the vet regarding a test they wanted to do on Lucky. She asked how the treatment would differ if the test was positive. The answer was that the treatment would be the same. Therefore, she declined having the test done.

Judie said...

Good afternoon.

Much accomplished in the yard. Darth will be in shock and awe. Of course, tomorrow I will be stiff beyond description. I anticipate this will be an Aleve night.

Wondering if Finn is neutered? If not, he may be a ladies man.

Shirley, good to see you were here. Sorry about the laundry but glad the key fob is still working. Hmmmm...about that homework. lol

Dana, our thoughts are with you as you make a decision about Javelin's treatment. You will do what is best. Does Boomer still consume socks?

Suzan, our community garden club recommends pruning butterfly bushes to 6-12" from the ground in Oct. However, some prefer to wait until Spring. I think I recall that either season is okay. Ours had stopped blooming and no butterflies seen for several weeks. A further consideration for us is that we may not be here in Spring. So, I decided to do the work on a pleasant day (without supervision).

I also heard that pumpkin crops did poorly this year so stocked up on pie filling. Always make a pumpkin pie for the police Thanksgiving pot luck for officers who have to work.

Jo, I hope you had a wonderful day with family. Guessing this was a surprise birthday gathering. You have the most amazing family but then they had a most wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother.

Bye

NCSuzan said...

Thanks Judie and Granny. My bush is still blooming too. It usually is cut way down after the blooming stops. It is a beautiful day and my son-in-law is planting azaleas! So a good day to be outside!

stronghunter said...

I did not trim my butterfly bush last fall--my knees were in pain. It hardly bloomed this summer. Therefore, I think I will get out there and trim it ASAP.

Hi, Everyone,

Dropping in to let you know all is well at this roost. Well, except for the weather we're having! It's been 102 and 103 for the last 2 days, and today it was a high of 99. It only gets down to the low 70s at night, so not so easy to sleep soundly. Not really cool enough until 5 or 6 am! Supposed to be in the mid-80s by Wednesday, lasting through next Saturday. Are we supposed to have a winter this year?! Sure hope so!

Glad to hear that the wayward kitty is back home! Sounds like he'd rather NOT be home, though. Lotsa luck keeping him inside!

Oh, the latest on Ken's hand, which is healing nicely now, is that a couple of days ago the surgery site was getting red again, and looked like it had a tiny blister. Turns out another piece of suture was working its way to the surface, and Ken was able to get it out by gently rubbing at it in the shower. It looks almost completely healed now, with no redness or bumps! No black sutures showing anywhere, so we think it's OK for sure now. The scar from the surgery is supposed to be less and less visible over a few months, eventually becoming nearly invisible. Can barely see it now!

Well, need to try to read back a bit here and catch up again. Hope I haven't missed any crucial posts! Have a good evening, everyone. I ♥ us!

Judie said...

Good sort of late evening.

Andy, so glad that Kubby is healing and hopefully the last of the sutures have worked their way to the surface. Maybe the weather will improve for you soon.

About to try to read a few pages before denting the pillows.

Wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.

Lynne2 said...

Quick pop in for update.

I was right, the Dr was wrong. Another excruciating episode of pain landed me back in the ER late Thursday night. The damn stone IS still there. It hasn't moved much at all in the past 5 and a half weeks. It's now right at the entrance to the bladder (my diagnosis was that it was still inside me and IN the bladder so I wasn't too far off!) and so far despite drinking copious amounts of water and taking the Flomax, it has not passed. So tomorrow I will call the urologist and demand that it be dealt with. Not a happy camper. I lost all of Friday for the most part and class on Saturday was really difficult but I made it, and it was easier today. But every little twinge I feel makes me panic.

Sandi, so glad Finn was found!

Janet, glad Livvy's pain is getting less and less! Well, except for the Algebra pain...I flunked it twice. Just don't have a math brain.

BUTTERFLY BUSH: Invasive species and ideally the spent blooms should be removed before seeds have a chance to disperse. Typically in this area, they are pruned back to about 4" in March.

Glad Ken's hand is doing so well Andy but I don't envy you those HOT temps...hope relief comes soon.

well, must go to bed so that I can wake up every 45 freakin' minutes to go to the bathroom. Good grief.....

Sandi said...

Goodorming my eagle friends - it's Monday. The start of a new work week. Yay.

Lynne2, I am so sorry you are in so much pain. How is it the hospital could find the stone but your very own doctor couldn't? What does "be dealt with" involve?

Jo, a very happy birthday to you, sweet lady!! I saw all the family photos of your party on FB - looks like a wonderful day for everyone!

Have agreat day all.

Happy Birthday to Jo. And many more.

Janet said...

Good morning to all.

LYNNE2: so sorry about the kidney stones Tom has dealt with those; stents 2x. now, when he feels the twinge, or has blood, he drinks this concoction:
1 bottle of water
2TBSP apple cider vingegar
1 TBSP lemon juice
(can add honey, or for him Splenda as he is diabetic)
And he will drink 2 to 3 of those a day for 3 or 4 days, and he passes the stones. All I can say is it has worked for him for 3 years now.
I wish you success and less pain my friend!
And as for Algebra, that’s why we have Jodi our math tutor. But she just didn’t want to do it and wanted to argue….I am not a math expert by ANY stretch of the imagination.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!!!!!
Well, busy day ahead. PT this morning. Dax has to go to the vet. Cat scratched him in the eye yesterday. Thankfully I had some antibiotic ointment and some pain meds. It looks much better today, but I want it double checked.
Somewhere in there is allergy shot and chiropractor. Tomorrow, dental cleanings. Boy do I know how to plan fun days or what?
We decided not to scrub the RV this weekend as the cover isn’t here yet and certainly, we do not want to scrub it 2x.
I did end up scrubbing the hot tub cover. Wooly aphids got their stuff all over it too. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Guess I should get moving. Coffee cup is almost empty and I need to do a few things around here. Hoping everyone has a beautiful day!
Hugs and love to all

Judie said...

♪♫ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEMA JO ♪♫ The family gathering yesterday was a terrific prelude for today and for the year ahead. Please have a special day.

Judie said...

Good morning.

Lynn2, wishing you a relatively pain-free day and hoping whatever the "dealt with" will take place quickly. Ask your doctor if his/her favorite color is clear. Well, maybe wait until you are stone-free.

Darth is on his way home. I will go out to do some light foraging for his dining pleasure.

Wishing everyone a spectacular day.

Kay said...

Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!

♫♫♪ Happy Birthday Dear MEME JO, Happy Birthday to you♪♪♪ What a great party your family provided yesterday---enjoy more cake and goodies today!!!

And, Happy Columbus Day, y'all! Even, here in a city bearing his name, Christopher doesn't get a whole lot of respect except from Federal employees and there are free parking meters. Some libraries are closed, but all area schools in session. I see that a bunch of cities across the country, but mainly in the Northwest, are renaming this holiday. "Indigenous Day" serves to celebrate our Native Americans. So, take your choice or celebrate Double, but have a good day!!!

It's always a good day to celebrate our lovely Belle and her talented consort, Shep and that's what we're all here for every day!!!

LYNNE2, sorry that stone went undetected so you've had to endure more pain! Hope the doc takes care of it pronto!

JUDIE, thinking of Darth and wishing him safe travel---so nice that he'll have a good meal waiting for him this evening. He has a true gem in you!!!

SANDI, hope the school day is downright boring for you as that will mean no troubled kid caused trouble!!! Sounds like Dennis is open to the idea of having a greyhound as a permanent resident in your home. I'm glad Sky represented the breed so well!

SHIRLEY, there is so much for a teen to learn as he/she approaches adulthood, isn't there? Checking pockets as one loads the washer is one of those things they seem to struggle with---after a time or two---especially is something near and dear to them is damaged---they "get it"! My hat is off to you! Most of us go through all that with each of our kids, but you're living with those trials and tribulations all over again. Déjà vu. However, there is a bright side as you get to enjoy the good things and good times a dear live in grandchild adds to your life, huh?

Time to head for e-mail, newspapers and daily on line pursuits....

Prayers for all in need!!!

Good Monday Morning To All ♥ I am ready to start another year and I want to Thank You
for all the wonderful birthday wishes. They are making my day perfect..♥

Looking at the nest I see a pile of sticks - large enough for a bonfire! I really hope
they get those crib rails up for this new season.

Yesterday was a beautiful day here at my home - many many family members were gathered.
Elliot enjoyed having his 7 cousins to watch and learn from them. I received lots and lots of hugs! The afternoon was fantastic!



NCSuzan said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jo! May this be a stellar year for you with good health and happiness! BTW....great pics of yesterday's celebration. I just love Elliot! Your whole family is awesome!

Lynne2, so sorry you are having stone issues. I have heard of the vinegar remedy before. Acid dissolving "stone"...makes sense! Thanks for the info on the butterfly bush.

Looks like another beautiful day. Hope everyone can enjoy it.

To some of my friends way up North

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Lolly said...

🎉🎈♥️Happy Birthday, Jo♥️🎈🎉. Wishing you a great day and a great year ahead!

Good morning! A brand new week ahead!

Lynne, so sorry for your problem. Hope it is resolved soon!

So glad Finn is home! Sounds like he desperately wants to be an outside kitty! We have always had kitties that we let in and out, but there were plenty of times we worried. Skippi has never been outside. She is curious when a door is opened but does not bolt. One time Jack propped a door open to move a plant out and did not close it immediately. When he returned to the door, there was Skippi on the front porch cautiously sniffing around. He scooped her up and put her back. Same in the trailer. It does have two steep steps so I really do not see her exiting the trailer.

Today we have a memorial service to attend. Good friend died but he had a stroke many years ago that left him in a wheel chair and speech difficulties, then a steady decline. It is a blessing g he is no longer just lying in a bed. He was an educator, a principal, a great guy.

The weekend ahead I will be going on a retreat with 27 ladies. Wahoo! We love Athens and Disciples Crossing! (Campground in east Texas)

So tired of warm weather. Cooler temps have only been temporary and looks like the AC will come back on today! It was so hot at the soccer game yesterday. Also, we have not seen rain since July! Very,very dry.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!!!

Happy Birthday JO
Love and Light to you.
May you haves glorious year.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from Canada.

stronghunter said...

Looking at an empty nest. Lots of sticks and the remains of summer grasses.

Kitties here have been running around knocking things down. Things fall over, then there is a loud crash. Kitties run away. Then they come back to investigate. Typical kitten stuff.

stronghunter said...

Looks to be a beautiful day here. Time to trim that butterfly bush. I did not know it was an invasive species. I had a lovely one some years ago with lots of blooms and many butterflies. It got killed by the house washers. This one has never been as nice. Of course, it didn't help when it got singed by the house fire next door.

Four inches, Lynne2? That would be pretty drastic. I will have to see what I can do.

stronghunter said...

Hi Hoda!

Hoda said...

Great trip pictures Shirley. Thank you for posting them.
Off I go as I am volunteering for the fourth day of Advanced polls in Canadian Federal elections.

So proud of JO always in my prayers. Sending love, respect, and admiration your way MEMA!

Hi, Everyone,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEMA JO!!! Hope you're having the most wonderful day, to be followed by a spectacular new year ahead! Love you! ♥♥♥

Checking in to report that it's actually a LITTLE BIT cooler here--down to 93 from 99, with some cloud cover! No chance of any rain, but the slightly lower temperature gives us some relief. Thank God!

Lynne2, SO sorry to hear of your continued kidney stone problem! One of my ex-sisters-in-law (used to be married to Ken's younger brother) had a kidney stone while pregnant, and what they did with her was to put her in a big vat of water, and bombard her with sound waves, which broke the kidney stone down into pieces small enough to pass without major pain. Don't know whether that's an option or not for you, but it worked in that case. The baby she was carrying was not affected by the sound waves, and graduated from high school last year. Certainly praying that you get some real relief, and pronto!

....Well, wrote this earlier today, but forgot to hit "Publish"--Duh! Maybe MY favorite color is clear!

Ms Bookworm said...

Just read back a bit here, and totally blessed to see that Shar has dropped in with Birthday wishes for Jo, and Hoda was here as well! Fantastic!

By the way, it's our oldest granddaughter, Jay's 28th Birthday today, too! And I find that again this year it's also Columbus Day.

Lolly, our kids' Siamese, Latte, goes outside in the back yard with supervision.
At first they put a harness and leash on her, but now she just explores in the grass without trying to jump the tall fence. On one of her recent escapades she managed to catch a HUGE grasshopper about 4 or 5 inches long! She really had fun with that! She's a real character.

Well, think we're about to have cold fried chicken and potato salad for dinner.
Don't want to risk heating up the kitchen! Will try to make it back here later this evening. Have been falling asleep in the recliner soon after dinner lately, usually with Emma parked in my lap. She's our 41-pound paperweight, who doesn't always want to let us out of our chair! Will make a valiant effort to get back here, though. Have a great evening, everyone! I ♥ us!

Judie said...

Good post dinner greetings.

Am heading to the recliner and my book.

Wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.

Janet said...

Good evening to one and all. Just about time to dent the pillows…..i think I just saw the sandperson lurking…
Busy day. I spent most of it running hither and yon….was glad to get home and take a breath.
Took Dax to the vet. He indeed has an ulcer (scratch from cat) on his cornea and the equivalent of a black eye. Two tubes of ointment later….and we came home. He tried to crawl under my skin to get away from Dr. K and her assistants. Doc K showed me the ulcer. Although I wish he didn’t have it, it was pretty neat to see it.
We will return in 2 weeks for a check up and annual vaccines.
Raining now. A cold front moving thru. We were @ 81 today, only in the 70’s for the rest of the week. Metro starts school again tomorrow, so Tom’s back on the bus. They have been on fall break for a week.
Hope everyone has a good night sleep! Manana, ya’ll
I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells
I honor the place in you which is of truth, of light and of peace
When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me
We are One."
With Light, Love, and Blessings, Namaste

Dana, I'm wondering what you've decided to do for Javelin?

Lolly, how are things going for Jacob at school?

Sam was a real brat yesterday afternoon - had to keep reminding myself to be the grown-up and not act just like him.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANDA

Lynne2 said...

Good morning!

Saw the Uro Dr this AM. He will have to remove the stone. Scheduled for next Thursday. Said if it's not out by now, then it's highly unlikely that it's going to come on it's own. They will blast it with sound waves. I still have to catch and strain my urine just in case, and of course be ready for any manor of pain between now and then. UGH.
