Monday

Regarding the FIX, the guys are working on getting the fuel cell installed that will eliminate this problem with the battery that we have been dealing with forever. Keith tells me they are trying to get it done today.

I had FOX on the brain yesterday because the Piedmont Hunt rallied in front of my house Saturday morning. Nobody likes to see any foxes killed, and they rarely are, but the spectacle is really neat.

Thanks for the thread and info Steve. We all knew you weren't fox hunting really. But couldn't resist since you live in fox hunt country. And you did say FOX. LOL

glo said...

Hi Steve..thanks for the new thread and the information on the fule cell fix. Argh I wouldn't enjoy that much.. so glad you live there and not me. I understand the balance of nature etc, and want them all to not just survive but thrive...hopefully we humans are doing better at solving not increasing problems for our wildlife, but I am not totally sure that we are.

Jill said...

Guess it is Panda nap time.

normabyrd said...

WOW STEVEN!!---A FOX HUNT is something to see!----I saw one year before last at the MELLON FARM!!-----(daughter's college room-mate has been the nurse for the Mellons for 20 yrs.)---last yr. it was rained out----WE SAW 8 EAGLES on one tree!!--MELLON FARM IS AWESOME!!!---(could get used to living there)--ho!---THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD!!------CONGRATS!!!JILL!! you are always # 1-----

normabyrd said...

JILL---I was over at your son's "old stomping grounds" this past weekend--They have a new woman's dorm---& this huge equestrian center!!--which is COOL!----

Jill said...

Hey Norma, took a ride up your way yesterday. Could you please get the streets fixed in Romney, they are awful rough on a motorcycle. LOL Went to Moorefield had lunch and came back. Was a nice day for a ride.

Jill said...

I knew about the new dorm, but not the equestrian center. Remember I was there before Joey. LOL. Few years after you left.

normabyrd said...

SQUIGGLES is all alone---I think the top of her head is half under a blanket!!!----She certainly is a little LOVEBUG!!

paula eagleholic said...

Thank you Steven and Keith and whomever else is working on getting the fuel cell in place!

We appreciate you guys!

paula eagleholic said...

There is and eagle at the Two Harbors nest if you need a fix!

www.iws.org

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for the heads up Jill! You're on the ball as usual! Didn't you get cold on the motorcycle yesterday?
Norma - 5 more days and you are going to get your cane returned (until we meet again - maybe Christmas time). Then you can pass it back! We need to keep the Momsters guessing as to
Who Is The Holder Of The Cane....
Steve, thanks for the info. I sure hope Keith meets his goal for the day! I am wondering if the weekend problems of Blue screen cam is due to this or due to any security problems you had mentioned in Denver.

Mema Jo said...

thanks Paula......


Lisa did do herself proud on the last write up! Now LISA you can spend more time with us on the blog for the next month or so!!!

Mema Jo said...

F & F Cam still frozen
Hopefully they will spot it when they come in for work is a couple of hrs.

paula eagleholic said...

OK folks - I received this question in my email. Any answers, besides our nest?

We're visiting Shepherdstown Oct26. We are unable to do Potomoc Rail but
my goal is to see an eagle that weekend. Any suggestions of where is a
good place to sight an eagle. Thank you.

Mema Jo said...


Link to little otter critters

Mema Jo said...

OUR NEST IS THE PLACE! You may suggest they go right into NCTC - it's a Friday and guard should allow them entrance (I hope)! I wonder from where they are coming?

Jill said...

It was a tad chilly on the way back Jo but had plenty of clothes on. I have been a lot colder on the bike. Was a beautiful day in the mountains.

MITS said...

THANK YOU for the new thread and info, STEVEN, I just thought you were getting your FAIR AND BALANCED news from FOX:):):)!

Mema Jo said...

Brisbane Cam UP & RUNNING

Mema Jo said...

Dolly is getting her Bandit mask appearance.......

MITS said...

She really loves that corner.

Mema Jo said...

I had eaten today an OREO CAKESTERS Yummy! It reminds me of your Baltimore cookies, Mits

Mema Jo said...

Dinner time here.... BBL

MITS said...

ERROR: 503
Service Unavailable. [www.fws.gov]
This is what I got when I tried to bring up cam

Jill said...

They may be working on the site. I can't get in at all.

paula eagleholic said...

I just closed my cam...it was still blue...heading home...see ya'll later!

MITS said...

my just went back to blue...time is still 2:29p.m.

MITS said...

I doubt they are working on it this late.

Jill said...

Not that late in Denver, Mits.

Mema Jo said...

They may be giving each other a tongue bath!

Mema Jo said...

Sure has a pretty belly!

MITS said...

From Steven's post it sounded like NCTC was working on the fix today....usually if it is Denvers' problem, it always fixed by early Monday afternoon, but here is hoping:).

Jill said...

Camera fix is here. But if you get an unavailable from the FWS it is in Denver.

glo said...

What the heck is this LOL.

OK whatever.

glo said...

Nope I am not at all confused. Makes sense to me.

MITS said...

I didn't see that on todays' post.

MITS said...

And that is the msg, I got at 5:22, so must be Denver and I'm sure we are not top priority for them on a Monday.

paula eagleholic said...

Cam is still blue. Time 2:29. Problem is still here I would guess.

Costume Lady said...

I just skimmed over parts of the Blog, and I am like GLO----What the heck are they talking about. Are you talking in tongues?
Before it gets late and everyone goes to bed.....

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY BIRTHDAY GREETINGS. YOU ARE SO SWEET AND I LOVE YOU ALL!
I have been celebrating for 3 days. My family came over from Winchester and we had a make-shift party in the shop, and our customers joined in.

Mema Jo said...

I wasn't dreaming when Mits told me that the Clouded Leopards were in view and were snuggling (Asia Trail DC Zoo)

Link for Clouded Leopards


I cannot for the life of me find her remark in among all the cam deliberation conversation.

Believe me Glo, I was talking about the Leopards NOT the cams! lol

Costume Lady said...

I think Glo and I are needing a Panda nap after your comments, JO!

glo said...

LOL OK MeMe Jo whatever

Mema Jo said...

HOLD UP THERE GALS! This blog has kicked me off twice and I lost my comment along with it!
Simply stated is that Mits sent me an EMAIL (I thought it was a comment on the blog) telling me to look at the Clouded Leopards - they were together & cuddling. I made remarks on here and Confused the heck out of you all! That'll keep you on your toes lol

Mema Jo said...

Dolly is learning how to tuck her little head under that wing! Look at those falcon feet

Jill said...

You did it on purpose to see if we were paying attention didn't you Jo?

Mema Jo said...

You're darn right I did, Jill

But at the same time I thought I
was losing it! Mits came to my rescue with another email saying ... I had sent you an e-mail about the cloudeds, didn't mention it on the blog. lol


I know you all will take care of me!

MITS said...

I knew what you were talking about, Jo:):):)

MITS said...

well, didn't kick me off that time.

MITS said...

going to watch the season opener of "Little People"...the Roloffs, nice show

Robyn said...

Good evening everyone :)

Jo the pic of Dolly, she looks like a fluffy pancake all flattened.

Wanda HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Glad to hear Brisbane cam is back up.

Floors being installed friday morning so really stressing out now as I need to get most of the belongings put into a place that will leave the floors cleared. Tori's room has all my bedroom furniture and hers so that leaves the kitchen and ugh both bathrooms to put things. I can't wait till this is over!!!!

Decided next semester to do just 6 credits as I really really need a break 1 week every 6 mths is a killer on the social life. Now I can have fun in Massanutten with Tori, my best friend and her daughter.

Lisa said...

>>Now LISA you can spend more time with us on the blog for the next month or so!!

hahaha...but I stay busy even in the offseason.

I'm trying to design a new template for the cam blogs. And I might try my hand at an eagle comic strip for our young cam watchers this season. And I'm supposed to be updating our online store so it can take credit cards. And they want me to possibly work on an Eagle Cam DVD that we can sell.

And I'm getting laid off on Nov. 24 from my long-time paid job, so I'm also starting to job search.

Isn't life fun!? :-P

paula eagleholic said...

Frieda is back!

paula eagleholic said...

And she is gone again...guess she was checking on our little pancake :)

Robyn - I hear ya!!

Lisa - Need something else to do :)

Mema Jo said...

Oh Lisa!! Sounds like the sky is falling down on you BUT I bet you find a bright new cloud to float on with a silver lining just waiting for you!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lisa - I know you just moved - was that after knowing you were getting laid off? Are you still going down for a visit to FL later this month?

NillaWafer said...

Just stopping in a few minutes to say hello... My Oh My i missed Wandas birthday... Okie Dokie here we go..... Way down yonder over on Rt 45.... lives asweet lady who just turned 25... Her husbands a captain of a large Eagle Express Van..... you see he makes drinks called Eagle Talons.... drink enough and your on your knees... and Wanda owns a costume shop and this time of year she is busy as abee..... She sells devils... ghost... bears.. and her favorite the sexy bar maid outfits ... She tryed it on and Gene chased her around and she was not to hard to catch.... I know this is late.... but i been so busy my head gets in a tizzy... Now Wanda your ONE of kind and Captain Gene well he loves ya, so we seen... I wish you a belated birthday and a another year to grow older with Gene... Love and Big Birthday Hugs, Nilla

NillaWafer said...

Before i forget i got an e-mail from Sharon and sadly she cant make it to Open House this coming weekend... Hoping we have a Christmas party and the weather holds out and she can make it to that!!! But if things change Sharon your always welcome any time !!

Bird Girl said...

lisa: at least they gave you warning enough to find a new job!! good luck with that, i know jobhunting is not fun...

On a happy note: a pair of my Society finches are proud parents as of Saturday! the chick has already doubled in size and has sprouted it's first clump of fuzz!!! three more eggs await hatching, i think #2 will be here in next day or two! i managed to get pics of #1 this evening, i'll try to get them posted by the end of the week...

glad Dollycam is back -- I was starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms!! she sure is getting big! it's amazing how fast she's growing!!

i've started packing things up that we rarely use, we'll be storing them in the garage until we actually move. Mom has been collecting paper boxes from work for us to use, which makes it easy to pack things but not to make it too heavy -- and the boxes have holes for you to hold on to, so easier to carry. we decided we're going to hire Starving Students or something like that to move us, it'll get done faster, and we won't have to beg our friends to help us.

sorry about the lack of capitalization, etc. i'm typing with one hand because the other is busy playing tug of war with my dog joey...

hope everyone is doing well... things are going as well as expected here...

talk to you later!

Lisa said...

>>Lisa - I know you just moved - was that after knowing you were getting laid off? Are you still going down for a visit to FL later this month?

The move was a local one -- less than 50 yards. :-)

They were renovating our apartment complex, so I just moved to a new unit.

We knew the layoff was coming; they're outsourcing 300 jobs. We actually have to train the people who are taking our jobs. :-$

Fortunately our union contract requires 60 days notice of layoff and guarantees severance pay. Sometimes unions are handy. Sometimes not.

And yes, I'm heading down to Florida this weekend as an early birthday trip. My b-day is October 23, so I'm spending a three-day weekend with the folks.

MITS said...

Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HAVE A GOOD TRIP, LISA.......you deserve a break for all the hard work you do!!!

MITS said...

just finished 2nd closet, National Childrens Center is going to get a boat-load of stuff this Wednesday.

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Gang. after about an hour on this computer I dont know what I did but I can now log in.

MITS said...

Congrat, Anne, how are you doing?

floralgirl said...

Good grief, isn't it illegal to do housework at this hour?

Anne-Marie said...

I'm ok just tired. I need to go down to Walgreens and get some more pictures to put in my scrap/album to take to WV.I really wanted to say HI.

Robyn said...

I wish Megan, just finished cleaning my guest bathroom

Anne-Marie said...

I dont work after the sun goes down. I'm just not a night person.

floralgirl said...

Well, ok, I just finished doing a load of laundry, but that took little effort.

Mema Jo said...

Lisa - Outsourcing is happening all too often in the name of Mgmt Saving some $$! I would hope that you get your severance and also unemployment!
Most of all I hope you find a job opportunity that will make you wonder why you ever did anything else!

Hope your b-day trip to FL keeps your mind off of all these everyday things for awhile so you can relax in the sunshine and enjoy Mom's cooking!

Anne-Marie said...

What do you wear to the dinner Sat night? What is the place like we are going to.?

floralgirl said...

It's casual, Anne.

Mema Jo said...

Hello there Anne, Megan, Robyn and Mits!

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Jo, glad your here. I wont be for long I need to run an errand. I'm walking numb. I should go to bed but there are only so many hours left and I'm running short.

Robyn said...

Housework is never ending especially with my lil tornado back home.

We head to DC tomorrow to see Tori's specialist, sometimes there are not enough hours in a day to complete things :(

Mema Jo said...

Anne - you can wear your red dress if you want! lol

Like Megan said - most of us will be coming straight from Open House and that is casual..


Link for Rumsey Tavern

Robyn said...

Anne-Marie said...

Whoops, sorry, you got me Jo, I'm tired and was stuffing my face with cookies:)

paula eagleholic said...

Housework can be neverending...just stuck with the dishes and a load of laundry tonight...

Good to see you finally got back on, Anne.

paula eagleholic said...

That's OK Megan, I know you will be making some more to bring to the Open House :)

floralgirl said...

Ok, I gotta go to bed, long, hectic day today, gonna be the same tomorrow. Over 900 kids visiting this week.

floralgirl said...

I don't know, Paula, I'm going to try, but I have a busy week, not sure I'll have time.

paula eagleholic said...

WOW that's a lotsa kids! We might let you slide this time :)

Mema Jo said...

Now that the sun is starting to hit near Dolly - Frieda has returned to shield her. She is a good Momma!

Robyn said...

Mema Jo said...

Just looked at the time--going to call it a night! Talk with you all in the morning..

Good Night
and Peace to You & Yours



Good Morning Early Birds -
Suzanne, I hope your computer is up & running!

movin said...

Evening, fellow bloggers.

I just skimmed today's comments, and the comments on Lisa caught my eye.

Did we learn what kind of work Lisa does when she isn't busily and promptly responding to all our queries, as well as writing all those terrific weblog articles??

I thought the BW Reserve was the full time job of "our Lisa!!"

I think we all certainly wish her the best luck in finding another position. I know I do.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

PS: ROBYN
That is one cool picture... The eagle but also I see figures in the mountain!

paula eagleholic said...

Jim - Lisa also has a full time job in addition to her voluteering as webmaster at Blackwater!

Robyn said...

I love that pic too Jo :)

Costume Lady said...

NILLA--Loved your poem. You are awesome! A laugh before bedtime is always welcome.

ROBYN--I counted 6 animals. I know there must be more, but I am too sleepy to look again.

GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL--
SLEEP WELL.

Robyn said...

Night Jo and Wanda . I am heading out also, 9am in DC I know I will be riding in traffic, EWWWWWW. Tori gets to sleep lucky her, hmmm I can have her drive... Nah

Night all

movin said...

Frieda seems to be feeding the baby.

Jim

Anne-Marie said...

Good Night all. I'm back and now headed to bed. I am beat. I got the rest of my pictures. Wow. What memories for a life time.

MITS said...

good night everyone

Anne-Marie said...

Ha Ha I get to be 100. Good Morning Susanne. Hugs.

movin said...

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, EAGLE FRIENDS/GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE EARLY BIRDS...

JIM

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, Eagle friends!

Good Morning, Suz!

paula eagleholic said...

Whoo Hoo wax for Anne :)

Suzanne said...

Good morning, world. Been a long weekend, had a headache start Sunday that wouldn't quit. In fact, it didn't stop until coming down here this morning. Ugh!
Chilly out, 50 in PA, 57 here in VA. Other than that, nice night out. Saw my possom again this morning. This time he walked away when the light went on, turned it on later than usual, and saw him strolling away in the grass. Also found out where they live yesterday, so gotta get some moth balls this afternoon. My neighbor told me to put them where we think they are, and they'll go away. Let's hope he's right. Place happens to be under my house, so kinda don't want them quite so close.
Will have to go back and try to catchup. Had my computer upgraded yesterday, and of course can't find a thing. Only cam open is SD, and Bai and Squiggles are sleeping. See our cam is down, so guess I didn't miss any visits yesterday. Bummer.
All have a great eagle/panda day.
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Robyn said...

Moth balls are also good to put at tree bases where there may be nests, it will deter the snakes from climbing the tree.

Good morning Suzanne sry about your headache, you were missed yesterday glad to hear all is well now.

We are heading to fairfax this morning

Suzanne said...

Bai is playing roll the Squiggles. Too cute.

Suzanne said...

Good morning, Robyn. Didn't know that about moth balls and the trees! Good to keep in mind. I put up a nesting box this year, and had babies, but was gonna get a baffle, but never did. As it turns out, didn't need it, but am putting up another box next year. Guess I'll get some moth balls and just kinda keep them around just in case.
Fairfax? That's down this way, drive carefully. Not too much traffic yet, but it's only a matter of time.

Robyn said...

BY the time we leave there will be traffic, we alternate between Children's Hosp and the Annex in Fairfax, I prefer Fairfax because we get out faster but parking it still impossible, the earlier you get there the better, anytime after 930 an you drive for 25 min in circles awaiting a spot.

Suzanne said...

I don't envy you the drive, Robyn! Parking in VA is just plain lousy, anyplace you have to go. Hope everything works out alright for Tori! Glad she's doing so much better.

Robyn said...

Thanks Suz, getting ready to walk out the door.

Morning sleepyheads

BBL

Suzanne said...

See ya when you get back, Robyn. Maybe.
Bai is cchewing bamboo and wiggling her foot all over the place. Squiggles is asleep laying on the floor between Bai's legs, way too cute.

Suzanne said...

Bamboo is just a flying! Squiggles is sleeping right through it, but Bai is sure having a good time flipping that bamboo!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ--
Well, another weekend without visits from our Lib & Belle. Hope they are able to get everything going before nesting time. I don't recall hearing anything definate from Steve about AUDIO. Did you? That would be awsome.
Going for COFFEE. BBL

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda. Yes, we're supposed to get audio this year, last I heard they were waiting for cables or something. It's been a while. I'd just settle for a picture, right now! Saw the cam this morning, and just closed it again, was totally disappointed! Oh well, what can you do?
Enjoy your coffee, and say good morning to Capt Eagle for me. (When he gets up, that is.)

glo said...

Good morning all. Drive safely Robyn Goodness I am glad to see you Suzanne Sorry about the headache, they can be miserable. Glad to hear today you are feeling better. No stress day for you Won't be on much these next couple of days, I have to work tonight and the rest of the time now is for packing or spending with my dogs. Will see many of you soon. Guess I will check the cam around 9 or so my time after folks are there a couple of hours. Hoping for a nice surprise. Hope sales are picking up for you Wanda Wishing all of you a good day.

Suzanne said...

Oh my goodness, just now working through email, and what do I find?

A little birdie told me...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DEAR WANDA
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

Wanda, so sorry I missed your birthday Saturday! And being AWOL yesterday didn't help, so I have to say I hope you had a great birthday! I'll give you a birthday hug Saturday when I see you!!!

Sorry I missed it!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Glo! Yeah, feel much better. Hope you have a good day, and can't wait to meet you Saturday! It should be a great day!! Pray for no rain, they said rain Fri night, into early Sat AM, so I'm hoping it's VERY early Sat AM, then quite. Supposed to be beautiful after that, but we sure do need the rain!

I was listening to the news last night, we're only down 3.something inches, but Knoxville, TX is down 16.7" of rain for the year. Wow, that's dry. Mauley, aren't you near there somewhere?

Mauley said...

Good Morning Suzanne, Glo,Robin and Wanda. Have a blessed day. donna

Suzanne said...

Morning, Donna! Are you near Knoxville? Or you're in KY, aren't you? sorry. They said on our news last night that TN (well, could have been KY) was down something like 16.7" of rain for the year. That's a LOT!!!

Suzanne said...

Eagle in BW. Do not know how long he's been there!

Suzanne said...

2nd eagle has arrived at BW, with fish. First eagle just squawking at him. Ok, now they're both just sitting there, and can't tell if the one on the left has a fish or not.

Suzanne said...

Now the eagles are yelling at each other.

Suzanne said...

One eagle left, one still there.

Suzanne said...

MT nest in BW. All gone...

Suzanne said...

Now another eagle is there, but not sure if it's a different eagle, or one of the two that was just there.

Suzanne said...

They're both back, so I'm guessing these are the 2 that just left.

Suzanne said...

Check out the sunrise on the Great Smokies! Awesome pic.

BW eagles are just in and out this morning.

NillaWafer said...

Good Morning Suz and Glo and Wanda and Jill and everyone else lurking.... Both eagles are setting at Blackwater just beautiful to see them this early morning..Both are facing the camera... Headaches must be going around i had 1 most of the weekend myself Suz... I sure hope something changes and Sharon can make it Saturday to open house...

Haven't read back on the blogs, is Sharon not coming to open house now?

Blackbird in BW, both eagles left. Wonder if the Ewwiiieesss are gonna have a party this morning, now.

MITS said...

GOOD TUESDAY MORNING EVERYONE Glad you are back, Suzanne....we missed you yesterday.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Mits. Missed you guys too, but wasn't gonna call anyone when I called in to work. Called here at 0145, so thought that may be a tad early to call a momster and say don't worry!!!

NillaWafer said...

Oh he has a trash can or something big beating it up now.... What BIG BOO BOO he is!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Beautiful fall day here in the east, Jim. How is it in CA today?

Jill said...

Catoctin Zoo? That's at the top of the mountain. HUMMM

Suzanne said...

Norma, those fish are beautiful on the Bonaire cam! Maybe the divers will show up today, for ya!

Morning, Jim. I lost my falcon cam twice this morning, but that's it. Seems I lose that about once a day, weather I need to or not!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle couple at BW just enjoying hanging out on the platform...

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, those eagles just made a liar out of me! They're gone!

normabyrd said...

NILLA---I have been watching the WZOO---I thought I saw the "LITTLE PRINCE" for a min.---then I think they let him have the camera!!---It went here--there--& yon!!!---I even saw a man with a "Redskin Jacket" on!!!---but no TAI!!

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Paula, Jim and Jill. Yes Jill that is the zoo Catocin. Remember Suzanne you was stopping there alot on your way home last year???

movin said...

Well, Paula, it's really heavily overcast and 60° on this early A.M., but it's supposed to clear up quite a bit and warm up to about 68°.

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Norma if I'm looking at Tai he is laying on that tree that lays on the ground with the hump in the middle.

wvgal_dana said...

Here Friday night showers Sat Oct 20th Open House 70's not calling for rain at this time.

normabyrd said...

MORNING JIM--PAULA & JILL!!---How are you feeling JILL?---Haven't seen you for a while---Hope you are feeling better!!!----I think you are correct about the ZOO DANA is referring too!!!----

Jill said...

Hey Norma. I am fine. Was up your way Sunday. Didn't you see my post from yesterday about the roads in Romney? Could you get those fixed for me. Little hard on the back side if you are on a motorcycle.

Lisa said...

Thanks for all the b-day wishes.

Yes, I'm staying with Blackwater as a volunteer. I'll probably do that until I die. haha

My regular job is changing. I'll be looking for something computer-related in the DC/MD/VA area.

My folks live north of Orlando in the retirement community called "The Villages." Very big place. I think they say it's the biggest retirement community in the country now.

Hope you all have a great Open House!!

Suzanne said...

Morning, Jill. Yup, ok, just didn't think of Catoctic being on a hill, but I guess it is. No, Dana, haven't stopped by this year. Think about it every once in a while, but haven't stopped yet. They gave one of the white tiger cubs to Arizona, but I think they still have 2 of them. Bet they've grown. They also had Lemur babies last year, which are also probably full grown now. Maybe I'll stop one of these days on the way home. Just seems I'm so tired when I get off, that stopping for anything other than gas and groceries is out of the question. Getting old, I guess..

wvgal_dana said...

New leaves have fallen and laying in the nest in Kent.

normabyrd said...

JILL---Don't complain about the roads in Hampshire!!!!---ho!---I will go back & read your post!!!---You are coming to the RUMSEY TAVERN aren't you?---Sorry you can make it to OPEN HOUSE!!

wvgal_dana said...

Suzanne or Paula any openings where you both work for Lisa?

Suzanne said...

LOL, Dana, don't think Lisa will want to make this commute! Man, I think MINE is bad...it would take Lisa a whole lot longer to get here. Did she get laid off? Haven't gone back to read blogs.

NillaWafer said...

glo said...

yes let me add my wish for a Happy Birthday to Lisa You are one awesome Webmistress...is that the right word? Sorry to here about the coming lay off but anxious to read on the other side of this coin that you have found something new that you dearly love to do and that it has all worked out for the best.

You are obviously very talented and there is some agency out there who will be very lucky to get you. As for where you currently work, it is their loss , but in its own way at least for a little while it is our gain. Drive safely and enjoy your time home with family.
