Guess I should go back and read recent comments!
That is actually the view out my bedroom window.
Oh Lolly! Beautiful Avatar...and Sharon, I know you like to have that man as your avatar, but this avatar is inspiring too !
xo
Ohhhhh, Wanda! Can not imagine a fever blister inside my nose. Owwweeee!!
Have done a little cleaning and got beautiful. A little make up and combing the hair does wonders. ha!
Rains still steadily coming down and temp still at 66. A cool rainy day. Feel like baking, but that is a no no.
I know, I know...still gotta work on pictures!
Jo it is probably wise you settle for sunsets, I don't hear YOU talking about falling asleep during evening television favorites.
☺ ♥
Thanks you Margy. Went to my New England trip pictures, I have a lot, but thought this lone tree one was special.
Well if you read back you will see Lolly that I scolded you for planting pansies while suffering back woes ☺
So I am going to disappear before you catch up to that one.
xo back to cards...takes as long to put stickers and stamps on them as to get them made out.
GOOD AFTERNOON...
I am running a few days behind on my duties as co-chairman of the Raffle committee. As you may know by now, the prizes were wonderful as was the response to them by the large amount of ticket sales. I have already told all of you what the prizes were and who donated them, but there was an additionl donation brought to us by our own Bob Quinn. He donated a large amount of his prints, maybe 18 or 20, and one of the calendars that has 3 of his photos featured in it. He won his own calendar, put it back in to be re-gifted, and I WON IT! AUTOGRAPH AND ALL:)
The most coveted prize of the evening was a huge, wooden, carved eagle, donated by our Mema Jo. Mattie and I saved that to be the last prize of the evening. It was won by Sissy (Beverly). You have never seen such joy and excitement. Sissy probably didn't know she could jump so high!;)
The second most popular prize was an EAGLE THROW, donated by SUZ. Our Sandra wanted that so much and she did win it! So happy for her. We all love her and was so glad she could make it, with Jo's help. THANK YOU JO:)
The huge MYSTERY PRIZE donated by Iris (she wouldn't let us know what it was) was won by Capt. Gene, It was so big, it took Gene and Margy, together to open it. It was a beautiful bird book, probaby the size of the stone tablet that Moses carried down from the mountain, containing the 10 commandments!
We gave Mattie a book donated by Megan, "THE EAGLE LADY" for being so helpful ALL EVENING! She is a sweetheart!
Now, to the best part: from the proceeds of the Raffle, we donated $222.00 to The Wildlife Center of Va. for BUDDY BUCKS (remember our Norfolk eaglet with the deformed beak?)They have taken excellent care of him and will continue to.
Next: $110.00 went to Friends of Blackwater, Inc. (remember Snowy?)
at
Cambridge, Md. That would be the same BWO & BWE That we enjoy almost every day!
Thank you so much to everyone who made donations and purchased tickets to make this Raffle such a wonderful success. If you weren't able to participate this year...there is alway next year:)
Thank you and Bless you all!
Wanda Wright
Good afternoon, everyone.
Happy birthday, Tom.
Get well wishes for all those who are not feeling well OR have a blister in the nose. Speedy recovery, please!
Got my "do" did and now have to prepare for the police tomorrow night. Hear it is a good group from multiple jurisdictions and they are excited because we'll be covering serial killers. Still just can't quite get comfortable with a room full of GUNS! Videos for the regular students tomorrow so that's easy work.
Hope Andrea is having another special day with family.
Judie
Okay, off to study a bit.
Wanda
Bravo! Great commentary, and thanks to you and Gene, and ALL the contributors...what a Wild and Wonderful Week-end...even if one had to miss parts or all of it, the descriptions, pictures, and Oohs and Aaahs go a long way in filling in any gaps...
xo ☺
Judie
At least, you will be very safe with that crowd...
Best wishes with the planning and execution ooops wrong word, delivery of the lectures.
Yes, Margy, it was a WILD AND WONDERFUL weekend. I find myself smiling off and on all day with a picture that clicks into my minds of something funny or beautiful that happened while we were all together. So glad you were able to make it at least part of Saturday.
Margy, would never tell you all this, but when she finally came into the Party Room after she got off work...everyone cheered and applauded her! How's that for showing how much she is loved?:)
Wanda, thanks for posting for all to see, enjoy and appreciate!
Shar---lovely view!! And Lolly, thought maybe it was a pecan tree until I read your explanation---very pretty.
I'm done for today---tomorrow is another day, as Scarlet would say! And most of what is left I can do with the mower where it doesn't matter if it's just mulched up!!!
OMG!!!! Opening mail for retirees Christmas luncheon....widower of one is bringing a guest named ANNE LARSEN!!!!! Do you think our A-M could be holding out on us??? LOL! Same spelling---amzing coinky-dink!
It's the (Eaglet Momster) company I keep, Wanda...I keep trying to tell you all that ! ☺
Finally making it out the door...post office, and maybe some Swanging Bradge time, want to see some Hawks!
Glad you are finished your work Lynn, the outside work at least...I know how you are. ☺
Hope the afternoon and evening are good, watch for Baby Moon tonight after sunset, South-West
xo TTFN xo ☺ ♥

HOWDY,
EVERYBODY.

New exam at Diego's Digs. In the blog, and there's a video at the end.
Loch Garten Osprey young are progressing southward into Africa again.
Catalina Report posted on the Channel Island site.
Hope you are having a happy day.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
I hope your day is a happy one, Jim!
The video of Diego and his quiet whimpering was the greatest!
With the sunshine comes the most
diligent Stink Bug attacks ever!
I have started squashing instead of just scooping them back out the door.
Hubby just went down to pick up
Alexis before I take her to gymnastics.
Going to go to Cracker Barrel for dinner afterwards - The cleaning off of the Hutch last evening led to a cluttered dinning table & that is the reason I'm using to go out to eat! lol Meatloaf and sugarless apple pie HERE I COME!
I'll be back around 7 or 8:00
I sure hope I miss a visit that you all
could enjoy!
Here she is!
BBL
I might have told you before that we have (had in the country) very stinky Stink Bugs out here in CA. But they are very different from yours apparently.
Ours are fairly large, shiny, black bettles, which walk the earth without taking flight, as far as I know. And when they are bothered or threatened, they hoist their rears into the air and let go with the most awful smelling chem spray you ever sniffed.
Seems to work on wild predators very well. They are more common in warm months, but I don't recall them swarming the area or anything.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Jo, enjoy your dinner! Wish I had sone of C.B.'s country fried steak and mashed taters and sawmill gravy---that's my fav there!!
Hi, Jim! Going to watch Diego exam!
Hi Jim.
Hi Jo, enjoy the gymnastics with Meatball AND the C.B. dinner.
Lynn, take it easy with that knee. Yard work can wait.
Hope I can make some time soon to find a SHEETZ store just in case I don't get laundry done.
Well, here I am again. Off to the fridge to seek inspiration.
Later
Typical, I am just now eating lunch and people are talking about dinner.
"low-key kind of kid" and "pudgy and rotund"---all great descriptions of our roly-poly! His little whimpers sometimes sound human! Considering he is just now a little over the size of a human newborn, it's surprizing that he he is on par w/ a kid starting to stand and pull themselves up!
Meggie, don't know how you work so hard and go so long between breakfast and lunch!!! You are quite a gal!!
Sometimes there's just no time for a break, schools come almost every hour. I did have a bag of chips and an apple earlier. I forgot to make a sandwich cause I was running late this morning.
Ok, Jo! I am working on my pictures. They are finally loaded to the computer. Now working on getting them on the blog. Will yell when they are ready!
I'm listening! lol
Movin Jim, I forgot to tell you that you were my bottle buddy at the dinner.
MT NEST
BBL
Jo, I am still working on loading pictures. You peeked too soon. LOL
I am having all kinds of problems loading to my blog. Still working on it. If you hear a scream....it is me, letting off steam!
Love the balloon pictures, Lolly. Do they make a lot of noise...can you feel heat from them?
Have finally finished publishing pictures on the blog. Took me forever!
There are a few pictures of the balloons plus a few pictures from the Sante Fe Children's museum. Threw them in for fun.
Wanda, they are not too loud and yes, a little heat, but they only fire them up for a short period. Do not want to burn the balloon!
Everyone should try to go if they have the chance. It is so much fun!
Pictures can be seen on Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Blog.
Dont forget to double click to really SEE the pictures. ha!
Whoops! I pushed someone off the blog. Sorry!
Thanks, Lolly...a lot of work there! Left comment for you!
Hmmm...just found my Christmas wish item...and told the kid....a device to transfer slide pics to computer! I ONLY have about 1000 of my daddy's slides!! Price very reasonable--$89.
So that is on your wish list. If you get it let me know how it works. When our kids were little, that is all we took, slides. Have a closet full. Have told Jack I want them transferred to a DVD.
Oh Lolly, what a great bunch of pictures...☺
I made it out to Back Creek, did not see any hawks, but did see bluebirds, robins (overwintering ones I suppose), red-bellied woodpeckers, and a few kinds of sparrows and maybe a warbler I have to study to identify. The colors are out of this world...so many yellows! But the fragrance of the Fall is the best...sure it is mostly the Sycamores that make up this fragrance. ☺
So our Eagles completely gave us the slip today, didn't they ?
Glad everyone is enjoying the pictures. I only took many many more. ha! Had to select a few. The Darth Vader balloon was Jacob's favorite. I liked the balloon with an attitude. lol
No Eagle balloons? But that Panda was out of this world!
Okay, hope some of you saw Baby Moon...it will get bigger every night now until full...
you might still get a glimpse.
Happy Birthday Again to Sissy's Tom !!
Over to neighbors for a little bit.
TTFN xo ♥ ☺
I just went out and saw the moon, it's a beauty.
hello eagle buds-off to a meeting-catch ya later
hello eagle buds-off to a meeting-catch ya later
Lolly the pics are absolutely breath taking! Thank you so much for posting.
NO NO Mema JO - - - the first Sunday morning in November...the Sunday next day after
Hallowe-en....
Raccoon at PA woods - I think that the food throw already happened.
Well yuo could do it this week-end but you might show up kind of early for a few things ☺
OK, Thelma! Be careful!!
Right, Margy....think the change is permanent (later date for clock change).
I know some of us have been wondering:
Glo said:
Just wanted to say Hi I am home from my travels. I have been up since 3:30 am and drove 12 hours today so not going to do too much
Glad and Sad at the same time...but comforted Glo is safe and sound. Visits with family, usually go by too quickly, especially when there are children involved.
Thanks Jo !
Criminal Minds on at 9:00
Lolly, from computer can burn them to DVD, which is what I will do rather than keeping on computer taking up so much space!
I wish they would pick a date for the 'fall back' time change and stick with it! Computer seems to know more than I know........... It changes without one touch of the mouse!
BBL
Time for Criminal Minds, Jo!!!
That's what I do, Lynn. However, at this time I am way behind in burning CD's and printing pictures. Need to get with it!
Have added Balloon pictures on facebook. Put a few more on there than here as it is so much easier and faster.
New Thread, come on over!
I bought a calendar at the Fiesta. On the calendar there is an eagle balloon. I think they were just not there this year.
Did you notice that in the kaleidoscope picture I have on my "Train where the Eagles Fly" sweat shirt.
At the Fiesta they have a main street that is like a fair with lots of booths. They are selling everything. The bag I was holding came from the Farmers Insurance tent where we picked up lots of freebies. And why did we get so many freebies.....I told someone Jacob's daddy is a Farmers Agent. Boy, they loaded us up!!!!lol
Where did everyone go? Must be watching TV.
Tuckered out here. Going to climb into bed with the Sandman...WAHOO!
GOOD NIGHT
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Forgot...posted 4 more photos of Gene and Mattie selling RAFFLE tickets. JUST FOR FUN blog.
Nite:)
Does Gene know you are climbing into the bed with the sandman? I won't tell if it is a secret! :)
