Good morning all. Woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep. brain said "Go check the nest" and see Suzanne's comments when she sees the light on the nest. Ah well picture doesn't look like it did when I went to bed, but it was awesome last night and its gonna be just fine. Probably a cold cam.

Hi Steve Thanks for the new thread. Another early start to your day as well.

It was awesome to be able to see one of the eagles last night. Ahhh most likely our Belle. Enjoy your day folks keep and eye on the cam.

Robyn said...

Morning Glo you're #1,thanks for the heads up and thanks Steven for the new thread.

Where are the others?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Haven't been able to see anything in the nest this morning. Might need new software to go with the new cam, huh?

MITS said...

AHOY MATIES, STRAP YOUR BUCKLES, HOSE DOWN THE DECK, OOPS THAT IS SWAB THE DECK, WALK THE PLANK Robyn, do we have to talk like that all day?...GOOD WEDNESDAY A.M. EVERYONE!

MITS said...

Sharon, I volunteer you to come fix it....

Robyn said...

Aye, is about all you will get from me. But we were Pirates when we took the disney cruise.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING GLO AND MITS--
Mits, did you ever get to open your email of the RED DRESS?

glo said...

Wanda Just wait til you here that sound when the live comes on.....Keep the Faith girl....when we get our live cam there will be sound. Steve was waiting for audeo cables. I am stocking up on kleenex. I have heard eagles lots but I have never heard Lib and Belle...what an awesome moment that is gonn be.

Suzanne Stop working and read the BLOG....You are supposed to be over here on this new thread. Candy do be careful today!!!!!

Robyn said...

Nest is clearing up

Robyn said...

well it was

Costume Lady said...

PIRATES has been my #1 selling costume for a number of years. I guess mainly because of the Pirate Movies with Johnny Depp and Orlando Blum. AAAARRRRGGGG!

glo said...

ooops Mits snuck in while I was typing that last one. Morning Mits Guess you got to sleep through the night. Think Freida did too but haven't slept yet. Lord Bless you and your family as you await arrival of your new grandbaby. Hugs to Maggie

Costume Lady said...

I am sorry for being so skeptical GLO. (Oh, me of little faith).

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SHARON--
I wasn't looking and didn't see you come in.

Suzanne said...

Thanks for the new thread, Steven, and thanks for the heads up, #1 lady, Glo! And good mornng.
Oh, can see our nest now! Cool.
Both eagles gone from BW, and feeding time is over for Squiggles. Had to go get breakfast, hungry.

MITS said...

Thank you Glo, it actually is fun waiting, not for my Annie, but last year everything was such a blur, with everything happening so fast. She is off to the doctors this a.m., then to work. The only way you can get this woman to stop is when she goes into labor.

Suzanne said...

oops, see what happens when you leave? Everybody comes in! Morning, Sharon and Mits. Hope we get to see the kids today!

MITS said...

WANDA the "red dress" picture was a hoot. I can just see Princess Anne climbing the mast, waving goodbye to her new-found friends.

Costume Lady said...

Glad you finally got to see it MITS. I'm anxious to hear Anne-Marie's comments on the "dress".

MITS said...

STEVEN, if you get a chance, can you explain about the solar power?

MITS said...

Anne Marie is going to love it.

Robyn said...

Solar is awesome :) my friends home in SC is solar. Amazing how it works.

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN' EAGLE LOVERS!!!---"OH--WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING..."---Sun is shining---a cool 44° here in WV----MOST OF THE EAGLEMOMSTERS ARE UP---peering into the NEST that STEVEN has repaired for BELLE & LIBERTY & their expected EAGLETS!!!-----LIFE IS GOOD!!---THANKS AGAIN #1 STEVEN!---WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!----

Costume Lady said...

ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT ANNE-MARIE'S RED DRESS AND WOULD LIKE ME TO EMAIL THE PHOTO, LET ME KNOW.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING NORMA--
ROBYN--Maybe that solar power will heat the nest and keep the eggs warm for Lib & Belle.

MITS said...

Tai-Shan is sleeping in this a.m.

Robyn said...

I'd love to see it Wanda

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Take notes for me----Today is STUDY GROUP---W/be out for awhile---CURSES!!----But it's so exciting---isn't it!!---

Suzanne said...

Morning, Norma! I'll take notes and if I see them, send any pics to Jo for momsters. Yup, very exciting. Like the night vision! Enjoy study group, talk to you tomorrow.

Suzanne said...

Bai left, Squiggles is snoozing alone again.

MITS said...

close-up of Frieda, it wil be the 20th there in a few hours.

Suzanne said...

Bai's back...

MITS said...

eagle at BW

Suzanne said...

Mits, what's that fluffy stuff in BW next to the eagle? When I first looked, thought the eagle had brought a chicken with him/her. (No, know it's not a chicken, but whatever it is, it's fluffy!)

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends. Your right I couldn't help coming in to see the nest. Ahhhhh what a good feeling it is.

Wanda if you could send me the picture I would like a chuckle too.

Suzanne didn't that picture of the nest just make your morning?

MITS said...

I was looking at that also, Suzanne, not sure what it is?

Suzanne said...

Well, almost Dana, but not quite. Had lines this morning and couldn't see the nest.
Anybody know what that white fluffy stuff is hanging out in the BW nest with the eagle?

Mauley said...

Good morning Wanda, robin, Glo, Sharon, Suzanne, Mits and did I miss anyone? I second the motion for our Eagle Eyed Sharon to fix the cam, I can just see her skinning up that sycamorebut I would say that Sharon might get a handle on that software and fixer up right handily. ((Sharon)). Mits will Annie have a c-section? I can't remember how our Maggie came>>>>>>> Morning Norma, you friends have a good one. donna

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Glo, Sharon, Suzanne, Robyn, Wanda, Mits, Norma, and Mauley.

Suzanne that stuff in the BW nest was in there yesterday evening. Don't know what it is?

Mauley said...

Hi Dana

Costume Lady said...

Dana--I don't have your email address. Please send it to me and I will send you the RED DRESS.

wvgal_dana said...

Hi Mauley ( : Happy Happy we have our nest up ....



Mits you have mail

MITS said...

Hello, Donna, no Annie delivered the old fashion way. She just called and doctor said he would see her next week, so she is taking the day off to have her hair done, and get a little pampering.

Costume Lady said...

MAULEY--I sent you the email and it came back as undeliverable. Is your mailbox full? This has happened several times with email I have sent you. Always makes me wonder if I did something wrong.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mauley! How's CJ, do you know? (hope that's the right name.)
Wanda, that red dress pic was a total hoot. I laughed quite a bit over that this morning! You'll have to send it to Jo to put in Anne's scrapbook or whatever she's putting together for Anne. She'll get a kick out of that.
Eagle and fluff still in BW, Bai moving around but holding Squiggles and they're both sleeping.
Boat going over on the Bonaire reef cam, and lots of colorful fish on the wreck cam.

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Wanda I sent you an email

Suzanne said...

Bai rolling Squiggles. Now she's sitting up and time to nurse. Ahhhh, she's facing the cam, so cute!
Eagle still in BW.

Suzanne said...

Feeding time over, nap time now.

MITS said...

DANA, you have mail.

wvgal_dana said...

Got it ((((((hugs and ty Mits))))

Costume Lady said...

Did Mits send it to you DANA?

Mema Jo said...

GOOD MID MIRACULOUS MORNING

Full House - I love it
Full Nest-I would love it better


I love this excitement and enthusiasm that I am hearing.

LIFE IS GOOD!

Mema Jo said...

BW EAGLE ALERT

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Jo. You have a Dr's appt today, don't you? I hope he gives you a clean bill of health!

Suzanne said...

Eagle had the fuzzy stuff in it's beak, but then dropped it. Or maybe just rearranged it...

MITS said...

I think he is stuck to the edge of the platform.

Mauley said...

donnak.cox@kctcs.edu or home is raymondcox@bellsouth.net (don't forget the . after k that is where I usually lose mail. My little nephew is CJ Patient. God knows his name if you forget it is okay just ask God to keep him safe. He is at the American Embassy right now. Prayers are much coveted and appreciated.There are 5 other medics there this month, too. He will be in Baghdad for 18 months as far as we know.
Wanda, try me again. Dana, you know how I love that pink kitty.
Jo bring us back a healed report. But walking by faith, you are already healed in His Precious Name. You dear ones have a blessed day. Anyone heard from Nilla or Delphia this week? mauley

MITS said...

mEI AND tIAN ARE AT IT AGAIN....

Suzanne said...

The roll the Squiggles game is now in progress...

MITS said...

Amen to your prayers, Donna:).

wvgal_dana said...

Squiggles is alone now

MITS said...

Yikes, growling, snarling, biting.

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda I got your email ty hugs

Suzanne said...

The cover the Squiggles with bamboo game is about to commence...

Mema Jo said...

Maybe that is some sort of a seed pod at BW - I bet Lisa will be here shortly to let us know. She sent me an email yesterday about our cam saying ..Hey, that looks great! Congrats! Lisa :-)

Anne Marie has been opening her emails. I had sent a card & she got it SO SHE IS HOME ON FAMILIAR GROUND! Bet her dog Heidi is soooo happy!

MITS said...

OH NO!!!!the dreaded blue screen.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Blue skies, smiling at me!

Sandy said...

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been lurking for months waiting for the new cam and activity in our nest. Somehow I missed the link to the cam, and can only see the eagle picture and comment that the cam is down for the season.

Can someone repost the link????

Good to *see* all of you guys, and some familiar faces, again!!

Sandy in NC

Mema Jo said...

MINE IS CLEAR
Did the blue go away?

wvgal_dana said...

Oh good I was just singing in my mind "blue on blue heartache and heartache" and poof there came our nest again lol

Costume Lady said...

MAULEY--
I emailed Delphia and asked how she was doing. She said she is still really bogged down in red tape with her SS claim and bills.
Hope everyone remembers her in prayer.

MITS said...

Phewww!!!!, thanks, Sharon.....Hello, Sandy.

Lisa said...

I think that fuzzy stuff had been sitting in the corner of the platform and now it's being moved around. Not sure what it is, but it looks natural -- rather than man-made.

glo said...

Here is th elink to the cam...
NCTC EAGLE CAM

MITS said...

Thanks, Lisa:).

Sandy said...

Glo,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

MITS said...

Friedas' eggs in view.

MITS said...

Frieda came back.

wvgal_dana said...

Mits which is Mei?

MITS said...

Hang on, let me check, Dana.

Suzanne said...

Hello, Lisa and Sandy!
Lisa, this guy has been moving that stuff every once in a while. Think Mits said he's stuck to the side of the nest...I do too, he's been there for quite a while..LOL.
Sandy, welcome back!
Bai left, and man, it's dark in there now. Can hardly see Squiggles!

paula eagleholic said...

Overall cam pic looks good. Only saw one flash of blue.

Good Morning, all. Have to lurk today, I goofed off yesterday and have to catch up today. Will be keeping one eye on our cam :)

MITS said...

Mei Xiang
NAME: Mei Xiang (pronounced may-SHONG) means "beautiful fragrance"
GENDER: Female
BIRTHDAY: July 22, 1998

Mei Xiang, the feminine half of Washington's new power couple, has been described as tentative, taking care to investigate new environments and situations. When she first arrived at the National Zoo, she took her time before entering her enclosure. Smaller in stature than Tian Tian, Mei Xiang has distinctive markings, making her easy to spot. She wears black "stockings" that end at her hips; a black band across her shoulders that widens in the middle; and a faint black bar across the bridge of her nose. Although a little hesitant around new people and surroundings, Mei Xiang has no problem swiping food from her panda pal, Tian Tian.


Tian Tian
NAME: Tian Tian (pronounced t-YEN t-YEN) means "more and more"
GENDER: Male
BIRTHDAY: Aug. 27, 1997

Tian Tian has made himself known as the bolder of the two pandas, walking right into the panda enclosure the night of his arrival and sitting front and center, munching biscuits, before the crowds during his and Mei Xiang's unveiling at the zoo. He is said to be more drawn to people and more food-motivated. Tian Tian also has distinctive markings: he sports black "knee socks"; a black band across his shoulders that narrows in the middle; and two faint black dots across the bridge of his nose. At his birthplace in China, he was known as an escape artist, adept at finding ways out of his enclosure.

This might be helpful to all you panda watchers, it is hard to spot them when they are rolling around like today.

Costume Lady said...

Thanks MITS--that is super. Now we know what we are seeing.

Have a favor to ask of you. Mauley would like to see the RED DRESS but I can't get it to her. Her mail keeps coming back as "Undeliverable". Please try for me when you get time. Thanks.

Mema Jo said...

Iris has a clear day on the high seas

As Suzanne reminded you I am on my way to Dr. Hopefully he'll say I have made good progress. MTBR

I'll be right back on when I return..Taking grandson to lunch after appointment.

Keep a keen eagle eye on OUR nest!

Costume Lady said...

LADIES--Prayer for JO....

MITS said...

Jo, you know the minute you leave..........

MITS said...

Wanda, just sent it to her, we will see what happens.

Suzanne said...

Woah, our BW eagle left. He was there a long time this morning! Hope we get visits by Liberty and Belle that long!

floralgirl said...

Hello:) Looks like a milkweed seed pod to me in the BW platform.

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Megan

I'm still getting a few hummingbirds from the two plants I got. Thank you from my hummers ( :

MITS said...

Man those kids are loud at the zoo today....

wvgal_dana said...

ty Mits for the descriptions and the little titbits about markings on Mei and Tian.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Megan, thanks for that info! We were wondering what it is.

floralgirl said...

Well, Suzanne, I'm just guessing like everyone else. Hey Dana, I still have most of my regular hummers here, at least 3 of them. They are still feeding and fighting non-stop. Some of them have gotten quite fat. I know that means they will leave soon:(

Mauley said...

I got the red dress. Thanks so much donna.

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is still alone. She's been sleeping by herself for a long time today!

Mauley said...

Dear Sharon, . . . . . . nothing but blue skies in store for you. We think alike so many times. I was just singing that little song to myself when I saw it too. We are really Sisters. donna

wanda, try to email me again. thanks donna

Mauley said...

Hi Sandy

Mauley said...

Hi Megan

MITS said...

YIKES, DON'T SAY THE "b" WORD.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I have a hummingbird feeder on my window. Why do they feel the need to fight when there are spaces for 3 of them to eat? They are getting quite plump.

Mits - I am going to say it -- the dreaded BLUE screen again!

Suzanne said...

LOL, Mits, didn't know what you meant until I checked our cam...

Suzanne said...

Our little panda punkin is still alone. Been alone for a long time!

floralgirl said...

Hello Mauley:) Hi Sharon, they are territorial little buggers, aren't they? Mine rarely sit at a feeder together, and sometimes I swear they spend more time fighting than eating.

Suzanne said...

Cam's back. They're working on it, trying to get all the bugs out before the season REALLY begins...

paula eagleholic said...

Yup Suz, good thing to get it going early, so they can work out all the glitches...or most of them anyway! I know they can't anticipate everything!

Geula said...

hi! is there a special magical button to press to get the webcam? or a secret link to get there?

MITS said...

HELLO, GEULA.

MITS said...

OJ out on $125,000 bail...

Suzanne said...

Geula, welcome back. Use this, all on one line.

http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/eaglecam.htm

Or, if you click on the eagle cam, check the addr. It may have noeaglecam... Remove the "no" and you'll get the pic.

Suzanne said...

Just heard that Mits. Thought the bail was WAY too low for him...but what do I know...

Geula said...

hi to ALL! so what's the story with the cam?

MITS said...

As long as I live, I will never understand that man.

paula eagleholic said...

I see half a horsey

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy Geula! Good to hear from you. Cut and paste this into your browser.

http://www.fws.gov/nctc/cam/eaglecam.htm

Geula said...

OKAY! thanks......got it!

How have you all been?

paula eagleholic said...

So Steve, were you surprised we had an eagle visit last night?

Kind of like last year when you turned on the cam and there was Belle in the nest, too.

floralgirl said...

That's okay, Mits, that means you have a brain.. The guy is a dangerous idiot.

Geula said...

I see that O.J. made the news again...what's with that guy?

Suzanne said...

The guy's an idiot.

Squiggles is still alone, she's been alone for at least a couple hours if not longer. Where's Mom??

Didn't read yesterday's blogs, so not sure what you're talking about the horsey, but guess you had to be there. I see a pretty clear pic, looks good...'cept it's MT!!

Geula said...

what other interesting webcams have you folks been seeing? there's a new panda bady at SD?

Geula said...

panda BABY, even!

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

Hope I got in early enough to catch Suzanne.

Jim

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jim. Was just getting ready to say time for me to hit the road. Hope it's warmed up a bit! I'm glad you're sleeping better, but miss talking to you in the early AM.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Geula, it's a girl! At San Diego.

Jill said...

paula eagleholic said...

Back to lurking....

Geula said...

paula eagleholic said...

Carol_in_WV said...

Hey, eagle lovers - soooooo good to see the nest again! I have a question about hawks and kittens. Yesterday I saw a rabbit in my back yard and as it hopped beyond where I could see it, a hawk swooped down from a tree and went in the direction of the rabbit. I did not see whether the hawk got the rabbit. Now I am worried about my 2 kittens. Do any of you know whether a hawk would take a kitten? On a completely different subject - have any of you tried the new chocolate-raspberry M&M's? They are fantastic!

Bob Quinn said...

Carol - I've wondered about that too. We have a hawk in our neighborhood and a full grown cat that is only 5 1/2 lbs. I don't let her out in our postage stamp sized, fenced in yard behind our townhouse because of the possibility.

MITS said...

roflmbo......Carol, from kitties to M&M's....throw out some M&M's to distract the hawks away from the kittens

Mema Jo said...

GOOD SUGGESTION MITS ROFLMBO!

paula eagleholic said...

Woo Hoo, Lunchtime...alas, bird cams quiet at present

paula eagleholic said...

Nilla - no one can ever say you aren't an enthusiastic person!

paula eagleholic said...

I wouldn't let those kittens out Carol.

Mema Jo said...

Panda cams are active...

Carol_in_WV said...

Bob - last Feb or Mar, my large tomcat was walking in my backyard when I was getting some firewood. A hawk (the same one probably) swooped down to about 10 feet above the cat and then continued flying. I assumed that it probably figured out that the cat was as large as or larger than it was. Another time I saw it fly real close to my bird feeder and all the birds scattered. The kittens are outside cats, so I'm not sure what to do about them.

Mema Jo said...

Was good to see Geula on earlier. I know she had emailed that her computer was sick & had to use her neighbors. Hopefully she got all the links she wanted.

No word is good word from Anne?
I didn't miss anything did I?
Guess I best check my emails!

Paula, If you go out for lunch - you're not going to want to go back to work!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

I did have an email from our gal, Anne! She is now ready to plan for her trip to NCTC Open House! How about them apples!

Mema Jo said...

BW Eeeewwwwiiiiieee Alert

I am as bad as Jim - I forgot how to type Eeewwiiii (?)

Mema Jo said...

Hi Carol, I too have outside cats and hawks. So far I've had no tragic incidents but I think I would have a concern for the kittens - due to their size. Hopefully they have been taught to head for the weeds! My old Tom heads for the house when the larger birds fly close by to the yard.

Mema Jo said...

All Clear At Blackwater

Incidentally - My daughter gave me her Oct/Nov issue of
Birds & Blooms The article is Where Eagles Fly

BLACKWATER REFUGE of course. Looks as though Maggie was interviewed, Bob.

Costume Lady said...

It is confirmed---Anne-Marie is Home and is planing to come to NCTC next month!! She got home late last night.

Mema Jo said...

MESSAGE FROM ANNE ON MOMSTERS'EMAIL

Hurray the cam is up. Thanks to all who worked so hard on it while I was gone.
Yes I got back from my vacation late last night and no I'm not ready to be back at work but here I sit. I cant blog but at least replying this way and I can tell all of you how much fun I had and thank all of you for your love and support. What an adventure. I have never seen such beauty and had such a wonderful experience. Yes I took pictures and will get them to you as soon as I unpack. Back to work!

Mauley said...

From donna: cats are the bottom of the totem pole or (food chain). Birds of prey would rather have anything than a cat for a snack. There have been cases of cats and dogs being attacked by birds of prey. Cats are not tasty it seems. Most instances are mistaken identity. Rabbits and squirrels mice and voles much better for birds of prey than cats. Also, cats put up such a good fight, that raptors rather not deal with it I imagine. There have been cases when kittens and small dogs have been attacked by raptors, and sometimes if a small animal gets close to a nest, they will attack. Makes you think, though, my cats are my furbabies. and my kids call me Cat Momma. Hope this helps. Anyone have the actual data on this. mauley

Mema Jo said...

That info does help, Donna Thanx

Lisa said...

The Birds and Blooms article was nice. The only problem was they made you go to their website to get the URL for our cam, and then it was only available to subscribers.

I looked at our web log -- doesn't look like we got many hits off it since they made the URL kind of hard to find.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh my God I won an IWS prize!!!!

floralgirl said...

Whoa, Paula, what did you win?

floralgirl said...

Glad to see Carol and Nilla on here, hello ladies:)Wait a minute, chocolate-raspberry m and m's, how have I missed those????

Carol_in_WV said...

Carol_in_WV said...

Megan - My local convenience store had the chocolate-raspberry M&M's yesterday. The package says "Limited Edition". They are yummy - but choc-rasp is one of my favorite flavor combinations!

Paula - congratulations!

floralgirl said...

Oh, me too, Carol, I gotta find some of those..

MITS said...

MITS said...

Mema Jo said...

paula eagleholic said...

Well I have #4, was thinking earlier about #3, but then said nope.

I am going to do #1 or #2...

Mema Jo said...

In about 2 hrs I predict that we will have a visit from Liberty It's been a long time, but I think he usually came to the nest around 4:00 or 5:00.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, about what I did when I saw the email!

Mema Jo said...

GOOD CHOICE, Paula. But get it in quickly before it fills up

Mema Jo said...

Is it panda napping time

Or is everyone watching Dr Phil

paula eagleholic said...

I am working and lurking...Frieda in color!!

Mema Jo said...

I wish we could take our cam (LIKE YOU CAN ON THE BLACKWATER SITE) and make it a POP UP!!!
Think we could get the funds to do that little trick? I need to ask
LISA

paula eagleholic said...

Freida is snoozing or pic is froze

Mema Jo said...

Where are OUR 2 eagle birds?

paula eagleholic said...

REally zoomed in on Frieda! She is awake now.

Mema Jo said...

Frieda's timer isn't going.

Mema Jo said...

Frieda's timer is going.

NillaWafer said...

Mema Jo said...

Hi Nilla! You're so right about being able to open that link and see that nest - Heavenly feeling!
The upper part of the nest was like that when we lost the cam awhile back. Liberty loved perching on the very top stick! I so hope he soon shows up!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Hi all,

Mike with the FWS said this is your cam. He sent us the link because we were interested in the cam technology. Didn't know if you all were interested in seeing it.

As for the pop-up, it's not hard to do. Basically it's just using JavaScript to create a window of a specific size that displays the cam image. If they are interested in doing that, they can borrow the code from our site.

YAWN....took a little panda nap, didn't mean too, just went in to catch some news, and, lights out....Lisa, that sounds like the Maine nest, I keep that one up just to hear the eagles, they come so close, but sometimes, don't come in view.

JOHN Lisa just made you an offer
GO FOR IT! WOW that would be super!

As it is now, we need to shrink the main page & to have a POP UP CAM SCREEN would be OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I will email Steve to get the word to John... MTBR

MEGAN: Do you have mums for sale? Looking for Purple and orange or yellow. Do you still need help with the corn maze?

Mema Jo said...

Lisa, I think some viewers aren't aware of the Osprey page Pop Up Cam.
You may wish to mention it on your web update again.

Mits I thought you had gotten a phone call & rushed to a hospital since you hadn't been on since you started your 2 hr nap... Forgot that you had an Early Bird start this am. Panda naps are good for you

MITS said...

:):), yeah was so excited during the night, thought if I got up early I would see the eagles....panda naps are good, but there were things I should have done, but didn't, now don't feel like doing much....
