Mema Jo said...

Hi There Patriot! You're one cool beanie. I have been NOT on here all day long. Feeling ok - just my attention span.. Was good to see all my buddies making comments. Going to try to be here more often now..Just get tiring for me when sitting for very long.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Jo, I see you are still the night owl :)

paula eagleholic said...

Hope you have been sleeping in a lot!

Mema Jo said...

Resting a lot. Sleeping well at night. Guess I'll always have the nite owl in me.

movin said...

THANKS MUCH FOR THE FRESH THREAD, STEVE. IT'S OK IF YOU INCLUDE PICTURES HERE OF YOUR TRAVELS.

I HOPE IT'S COOLED DOWN FOR YOU FOLKS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE COUNTRY BY NOW. LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING INTO THE MID 80'S W/HUMIDITY HERE TOO. PROBABLY WILL GET MUCH HOTTER IN THE INLAND VALLEYS.

REST EASY, SLEEP WELL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

JIM

paula eagleholic said...

Hey there JO. Just checking blogs before going in. My son and friend finally arrived and are now out on the screen porch talking to my husband.

I cleaned, shopped and did washings all day. Finally got some more rain today and should finally get your cooler weather tomorrow. The air conditioner just keeps going and going.

Good to see you on, but it is kind of late for you. You should get your rest.

I'm going to talk to Josh for a little bit and then turn in myself.
Have a peaceful and restful night.

carolinabeachmom said...

White water rafting sounds a little much for me. Hope they have fun. Sounded as if they all had a good time watching the Monterey Aquarium cams today. Have to look at them tomorrow if I can get on.

Get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow brings a new day.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night everyone
Peace to you and yours

Moms arms are open and the baby panda is laying there curled up under her chin... Oh its squirmin around

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy again Nilla! Have a great time today Mits! Bet Maggie will love the cake!

MITS said...

FROM SD UPDATE....Our new panda cub is now a week old and it has changed so much already. One of the most striking changes that we see during the first few weeks of life is the development of the pandas’ trademark black-and-white coloring on the skin. Well, at about 12:30 p.m. today we got a great view of the cub nestled calmly in the crook of Bai Yun’s neck and there they were: the first signs of the black ears, eye-patches, and limbs! Look closely at the cub the next time Bai Yun gives us a peek. The black coloring should intensify dramatically over the coming week.

Stay tuned!

MITS said...

THANKS PAULA, hope her Mom lets her have some...hope it is not organic:):):)

NillaWafer said...

Just went over to my space page i have and afriend sent me abunch of things and could not resist coping this: I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease.... that's when your chest is falling into your drawers!
Now how many can relate to that?? Ya'll know i can....lolll I was thinking about old age and decided that it is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it.

MITS said...

WOW, GREAT CLOSE-UP OF CUB

carolinabeachmom said...

OK Have a good rest of your afternoon.

movin said...

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY??

I got up fairly early, listened to one of my favorite "Swing era" programs with Chuck Cecil on my favorite jazz station, ate my bowl of instant oatmeal, drank my cup of coffee, opened my computer and the cams, opened this blog and read a few comments.......

Then I decided my back was kind of kinked up and I should lie down for a minute... Boy, that felt gooooooodd...
You guessed it, I woke up again after 12 noon!! But my back feels a lot better, and I'm more relaxed generally.

If anyone else is interested in jazz and blues, we have the best station out here: KKJZ 88.1 FM

Straight ahead jazz

You can listen to the streaming whatever on the site, and I'm sure it's available on cable and satellite and wi-fi radio. It's a great, listen supported station, which broadcasts 24/7 from Cal State Long Beach.... Got some great program hosts too. Take a listen.

Have a great Saturday.

Jim

movin said...

I just accidentally closed this blog, and when I reopened it, I found that

THERE IS A NEW THREAD

for Saturday, thanks to Steve...

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

JIM I am busy listening to your Jazz music. I have it bookmarked now. You found the new thread, you go for it and be the NUMBER 1 BLOGSTER TODAY. :) You be DA MAN!
