At least they are OUT of the office instead of IN the office with it. My genes are mean, I have yet to get anything floating around the office. Knock On Wood !!!
Lolly, I hope your back feels better by tomorrow. Likely the problem is chasing around trying to find out where Jack has gone -- backbreaking to schlepp from Wanda's to Shirley's and back home again.
Ah, Paula. I still grieve the loss of our two Siamese last year and while I fussed about cat hair for 16 years, I wish I still had that problem. Walmart is okay as long as you have your critters to keep you company.
Jo, so glad you had a good time today.
Helen and Ceil -- just sing rock a bye baby and you will be in baby dreamland in seconds. Rest well.
Trying to finish watching Law & Order but eyes are getting heavy. So, turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Pleasant eagle dreams for all.
Criminal Minds over, and so am I! Have a really early day tomorrow. Have to have SIL at local VA by 9---hate the morning apptmts. Have to leave the house before 8, so gotta get my bath and get to bed. Lolly, put some heat or ice on that back! Sure hope it's better in the morning. Margy, my email from last night about flu would also apply for strep!! Sharon, glad your symptoms subsided. Sleep well all---bet we will all dream of babies tonight. "Lullaby and good night" and prayers for all.
hi ya, just wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes, and Megan loved the song...yes, Ben is just 8lbs on the nose!!!! Don't know length yet....Annie started to push at 4:02, and after 2 pushes, he was born at 4:06 p.m. she is just incredible,,, and he is just adorable like his sisters before him, will be a busy home there for many years, 3yr old 2yr old and newborn, but they have so much love to give.....and a special Thank You to God, and His Blessed Mother......tears of shear joy for sure...your next, Paula
It is so spiritual sharing in the joy of this new little life we have in our momster family now. Mits, I love what you said - prayers for all in need and thanks for all we get. We get an incredible amount every day!!
Been on the phone with Laurel. We are going up there tomorrow. Jack is going to "remodel" the spare bedroom closet. Joseph is moving in there Sunday....on his birthday! It was used as a study and the closet has no rod, just shelves. So, Jack has a job. And, I get to pick up Jacob at school. Yea! Get to see my boy!
Mits, so glad everything went so well. Wow! 3, 2 and new! Glad it is her and not me! LOL Is it not just fabulous to hold a newborn!
Lynn, have been putting ice on my back on and off all afternoon. Have it on now. I think maybe just looking up into the pecan trees got my muscles tense and then threatened to spasm. Will take another muscle relaxer when I go to bed.
Spent a good part of this day doing GeeGee things. Got her fitted with a new pair of glasses (not an easy task, picking out new frames!), picked up and dropped off presciptions, did a little grocery shopping, got cards for a baby shower (I'm going to be a Step Great-Grandma). She held up pretty well...I think I got tired before she did! Gene took care of the shop and did a pretty good business. Stil lagging behind a little. What wonderful news to hear of the birth of little Benjamin Patrick! Sounds like Annie did a great job "Birthin' This Baby":) I know we would all love to hold him for a moment or two...kinda like wanting to hold Diego;) LOL
did you read the Baby News? Mits and Mr. Mits are grandparents of an 8 pound wonder, Benjamin Patrick born Oct 14 just after 4 pm...Mother, Dad, Baby, and Two Big Sisters all aglow, as is all the extended family and all of us on here ☺
Happy Birth Day to you, Happy Birth Day to you, Happy Birth Day, Benjamin Patrick, Happy Birth Day to you!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHOLE KALIS EXTENDED FAMILY!!!! Good job, Annie and Kevin!! What a HUGE blessing! Thank the Lord!
Thank God, too that Sharon is feeling fine! Fantastic! Megan, LOVE the Celebration music!
Hi, Bird Girl! I'm hoping they have 3 or 4--it's so much fun to watch how they interact with each other. Time will tell. Good to see you again.
Shirley, congrats on the new furniture! Bet it's comfy, too. How does George like it?
Sharon, if I were you, I'd try to wedge my way in between them!
Prayers for Lolly, for her back, and prayers for Margy and her co-workers with strep throat (!)
Prayers for everyone, for a good night's rest, and for all needs being met. Thanks to God for all our many blessings! And a special welcome to the eagle's nest to little Benjamin Patrick!
Am going to call it a night--tomorrow will be especially busy, and a late night for sure. Need to get ahead of the game on sleep! G'night, all. Tomorrow! P.S.--Thanks for your prayers! I got a B on last week's test! Thank God! ...G'night.... :o]
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---What a glorious 'cool' am---and it is gonna be a GREAT DAY!---There is a NEW BABY IN TOWN!---with ten fingers & ten toes!---My Mother used to say that was the 1st thing she checked when we were born---(an inside joke in our family)---Think BABY BEN will need to keep his fingers & toes covered this am!!---Nothing better than having another BABY to LOVE!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!---REJOICE & GIVE THANKS......
SISSY---I think it is a maybe now!----don't like to drive over the mts when weather is bad----predicting some snow---but don't those weather folks love to 'SCARE US'!---& I am easy----
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE... It is a cold, rainy 41° here, near the nest. All those DRY days we had, a while back, why rain now? My garden is shot and so is Megans. SOMEONE needs to stop dancing!
Good rainy morning, everyone. Chilly here. Had to get my winter coat out.
Here I am at the big school house preparing to talk about child molesters. None of my topics are upbeat but this one seems to be the most difficult for students and the police.
Jo, we pray we get her in a class. We can deal with attitude but we don't like stupid.
Poor Gene. World traveler? It would seem so. And now he has to play carpenter. Lolly, enjoy the time with Jacob.
Prayers for Gina and all her family. Very difficult time for all.
Good Morning Everyone!!! Especially good for the Kalis Family----Happy First Day for Benjamin Patrick!!! Too cool and rainy for me today! Day off--so you know what that means--Dr. appt!
Sharon - if you talk to Sissy before I do...She will be just fine in Martinsburg...with the Apple Harvest festivities, there will be extra law enforcement out throughout the city AND county...
Good morning! Sitting here on ice....taking it easy. Jack is down getting pecans by himself. :( Back is not too bad. Will pamper it for a few days.
No rain predicted here. Yea! And the temp has dropped. Got up into the 80's yesterday with very high humidity. Had to turn on the AC! Today the house is wide open. Hoping it will dry out enough to mow tomorrow, but may have to wait until Sat. Ground is saturated, do not want to tear up the lawn!
Good Late Morning All! It sure is a wet one out there - Grab a seed catalog Megan! Headed out for a hair trim - would love just to stay in the house today. The Joy of Benjamin's arrival still puts a huge smile on my face!
Feeding of the penguins/ducks at Baltimore zoo.. Diego sleeping - close up - sure is growing fast.. Wish our flock of turkeys would return to PA woods.. Woodpecker at Okie Bird feeder.. Nothing out on the Asia Trail..
Afternoon everyone.Just got back from seeing Ben. He looks like his dad. He is 20 inches long. Took them long enough to measure him. I did not want to leave but lots of people coming. I got him a redskin cap and a football. He has long fingers.Norma I did count them. When my son was born I was so groggy I counted 11 toes. BBL
Praying for all your good memories to go into your mind, Deb. I have an aging cat that is not doing so well and her time is coming. It has to be a very decent thing that you can do for your pet. ((hugs))
Good WET and COLD PM all. What a long, miserable day. Finally finished newspapers, email and blog! feel caught up, but also very sleepy! So fun "listening" to all of your banter! Cracked up over pumpkinitis and piecillin, etc., along with marriage proposal, etc. ROFL!! Know that Margy is gone, but drive safely! Norma, prayers and sympathy for your friend...so sad.
Oh, Deb, most definitely feel your mixed emotions about Sam....it is the right thing to do, for sure, but it is so hard to say goodbye. Have been there so many times, and it breaks my heart everytime. But the blessing is that he will no longer be in pain or debilitation and will be running free with all of our beloved companions. (((Hugs))) and love.
Sorry to be so late getting here, but I'm in high gear today when it comes to house cleaning! Almost done now, but about to tackle the bathroom floor next.
First of all, am adding Norma's friend, Gina Loy, to the prayer list. SO sorry for the loss of her daughter! What a heartbreaking situation!! God bless her, and her family. Prayers for you, too, Norma. ((Hugs!)) Deb, you're on my prayer list too, and your family, in the loss of your Sam. Never have understood why dogs have such a short life span compared to us humans. Still miss my Molly; don't know if I'll ever get over losing her, either. You will be in my thoughts & prayers. Sending a big ((Hug)) your way.
Prayers of thanksgiving for little Benjamin Patrick!!! What a joy!!
Hope you are all having a good afternoon; I've got to get back to work! OMIGOSH, THE KIDS ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT!!!!!!! (Gee, WHO was that shouting??!! Was that ME??? Oh--sorry! Absolutely cannot contain myself!!! Will be back later. Take care! :o] :o] :o]
P.S.~~ Sharon, I guess congrats are in order! And speaking of Trains, I think we're going to try to take our GD and GGD to San Juan Capistrano on the Amtrak for the day! WHOOO WHOOO!! If we are able to schedule it in, will be thinking of you! ;o]
Andy - I think I can tell some sort of excitement in your comment! I wonder why - bet it isn't just because the carpet is clean! lol Enjoy your family time! ((hugs))
Welcome BEN into the world, contragulations Mits!!! ( :
Sorry for Norma's friends loss.
Deb I feel your pain...keep the memories close.
Has anyone heard any news about the 6 year old boy from Fort Collins Colorado that either got into a balloon that escaped and when it landed he wasn't in it. Or he may have never entered the balloon. They are searching everywhere???????????
My daughters friend that lives near Fort Collins has a 6 year old son. Prayers for the boy whoever he is....sure hoping it isn't Rocky. Such a sweet kid.
Our doggie has been treated by the vet since Monday Oct. 12th. Took him in was in great pain. Has something like I have. In his neck a nerve and in his spine a nerve. Poor fellow couldn't lay down for hours. We thought his legs were going to collapse. Vet (we love Dr. O'Donnell) she gave him pain med and a muscle relaxer. He can no longer do steps. So we are trying to figure out how to train him inside in a new crate we brought putting a pee pad down and praying with can teach him to go in there. His health otherwise is great. Put if he does the steps outside he can be paralyzed. Too hard for Ed to take him down the front ramp and now it is getting to hard for me too. Putting too much tension on the cervical and spinal stenosis. So please pray he catches on fast to the new method. Thank you...
Boy has Megan see those pictures Jim sent around of the different things; like Halloween and all made from the hay....Mema Jo wants the castle. tee hee I'd still get lost even in the low maze lol
Get this the boy in the helium baloon is Falcon. Have not found him yet. Andy I know how excited you must be. Norma sorry to hear of your friend's daughters death. Deb sorry to hear about Sam. Still miss our Misty, Lady Victoria and Princess. Sharon Maggie was only 5lbs. 8 oz. Molly was 7lbs. 12 oz. I could be off an oz or two and then there is Ben. He does not feel 8lbs. Held him for an hour didn't even get tired.
Paula - I hope our cam is refreshing.. It does look a little light out here.. Guess we'll know around 7:00 when night light comes on.. (maybe not that early)
Dana, sorry about your doggie----are the pads scented in some way to attract him to it for that purpose?? Sure wonder why Andy is so excited...hmmmm! LOL!! Can't imagine not seeing my kids in 3 yrs!!! Have fun, Andy! Ceil, I'm surprised that Mits let you hold Ben for so long---ha,ha!! When do they go home?? Amazingly short labor---that is really good!!
Sorry phone rang. Great Aunt MM is going over to the hospital to see Ben. She had jury duty today. I am scheduled for next Wednesday if my number is called. Jo they have a rocker in the room but I held him and rocked him. Habit. Helen wasn't there yet. Got picture with redskin hat on him. Lynn suppose to come home tomorrow. Phone again.
Been out running errands. I picked up a dessert to bring tomorrow and a gift card to put in for the drawing.
It is gloomy and rainy here today.
Have been wondering what the arrangement of lights around the nest area might be. I do not remember seeing those before.
Susan e-mailed me that she won't make it until later on tomorrow evening or maybe Saturday morning. She had to meet with a study group for a class she is taking and catch up on her school work. She is working full time and taking two classes.
Kathryn called upset because the father of one of her good friends was murdered today. She has gone to see her friend and will get back to me later. The father runs a little store in Stafford County. His daughter said that someone came in to rob him and murdered him. I don't know any more. There is a news story, but it does not say much. Really shocking. I know Kathryn's friend and have met her mother.
Shirley - even though things seem to be falling apart right now - believe me that it will all come together again as it is suppose to be. That is horrible about Kathryn's friend's father. The world out there is really SICK. I pray so much for PEACE.
Oh you all know how Ed doesn't like vegetables. I picked up a bag 12oz of Green Giant Steam in Bag; it had potatoes but with skins on, green beans mixed in a Rosemary butter sauce. Delicious and Ed liked it yeaaaaaaaaaaa Buying them again!!!
Shirley, very disturbing and tragic news. So sorry for Kathryn's friends' Seems like the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket, doesn't it? Tell Suzi that we'll be waiting for her whenever she gets here! Will certainly understand if Kathryn has to change plans, but hope she doesn't have to----sure that Hunter would be disappointed....or would you bring him with you anyway?
Dana, I'm right there with Ed on vegetables----but that one sounds good...will look for it next time I go to store! I do love the fresh taste of the steam-bag corn!
As far as I know, Kathryn will be coming with me. She was upset, and I know she is good support for her friend, but the friend has others who are good supporters too.
Kathryn was hoping to get a new tire on her car and drive it tomorrow, but if she does not have time, my car is perfectly capable of getting there. Kathryn had already planned to take tomorrow off, so there will be time tomorrow.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 384 of 384We have two people out of the office all week with Strep Throat!
Had to call in people and re-arrange shifts. Woof !
At least they are OUT of the office instead of IN the office with it.
My genes are mean, I have yet to get anything floating around the office. Knock On Wood !!!
Yes, Ditto that from Shirley, for Lolly! Hedgie will be on here with some nurse's words sooner or later.
Good Night Shirley, will anticipate seeing those pictures.
Chores to do here,
TTFN xo
Hope I'm not the only one who sneaked through the Split..
Good Night in Advance to any Early Roosters on here, and see the late nighters in a little while.
xo
Lolly, I hope your back feels better by tomorrow. Likely the problem is chasing around trying to find out where Jack has gone -- backbreaking to schlepp from Wanda's to Shirley's and back home again.
Ah, Paula. I still grieve the loss of our two Siamese last year and while I fussed about cat hair for 16 years, I wish I still had that problem. Walmart is okay as long as you have your critters to keep you company.
Jo, so glad you had a good time today.
Helen and Ceil -- just sing rock a bye baby and you will be in baby dreamland in seconds. Rest well.
Trying to finish watching Law & Order but eyes are getting heavy. So, turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Pleasant eagle dreams for all.
See you all tomorrow.
Judie
Lolly - pickin' pecans must have set it off! lol You'll be fine very soon! Time to take it easy!
Good Night Judie, Sleep Sweetly.
Jo - sounds like a wonderful day for you today too ♥
Good Night Baby Ben on your first official night on the Planet, and Special Big Sister Wishes to Maggie and Molly ♥
Criminal Minds over, and so am I! Have a really early day tomorrow. Have to have SIL at local VA by 9---hate the morning apptmts. Have to leave the house before 8, so gotta get my bath and get to bed.
Lolly, put some heat or ice on that back! Sure hope it's better in the morning. Margy, my email from last night about flu would also apply for strep!! Sharon, glad your symptoms subsided.
Sleep well all---bet we will all dream of babies tonight. "Lullaby and good night" and prayers for all.

Good Blessed Night Grandma and Grandpa Kalis ♥
It is so spiritual sharing in the joy of this new little life we have in our momster family now. Mits, I love what you said - prayers for all in need and thanks for all we get. We get an incredible amount every day!!
I got new glasses today, mailed to me from Bluefield. They have the progressive bifocals. Still getting used to them but can see so much better!
Spidey is in the Nest doing the baby joy jiggity-jog ☺
Good Night Sweet Hedgie...hope your rest is complete before your early day Thursday...
Sharon it won't take too long to get use to them. Just move your head up and down and all around! loL
And that is exactly what I am doing!
I may check out the cams and then be back to say Good Night........
I think I can see the unhatched egg at Alcoa Falcon Nest
Close up view of big raccoon in PA woods
There is a Spidey up in the Lake WA eagle nest! lol
Wet weather at the Bedford square...
Night time view of Discovery bridge in Yankton....
Snow Showers forecasted for Bluefield this weekend. Good weekend to get out of town, Sissy! As long as you can get back into town! lol
Open House is Rain or Shine!
Sounds good to me!
Been on the phone with Laurel. We are going up there tomorrow. Jack is going to "remodel" the spare bedroom closet. Joseph is moving in there Sunday....on his birthday! It was used as a study and the closet has no rod, just shelves. So, Jack has a job. And, I get to pick up Jacob at school. Yea! Get to see my boy!
Mits, so glad everything went so well. Wow! 3, 2 and new! Glad it is her and not me! LOL Is it not just fabulous to hold a newborn!
Lynn, have been putting ice on my back on and off all afternoon. Have it on now. I think maybe just looking up into the pecan trees got my muscles tense and then threatened to spasm. Will take another muscle relaxer when I go to bed.
I think it is fair to say that this has been one very good day! The little 8 lb Miracles make it so.
Good Night All
Prayers for Many being said
Peace to you and yours
((((hugs to ALL)))) ♥
OMG - see that Spidey at Lake Washington, first time ever, Gee, Thanks Jo ! ☺
Good Night, I won't be far behind.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
Spent a good part of this day doing GeeGee things. Got her fitted with a new pair of glasses (not an easy task, picking out new frames!), picked up and dropped off presciptions, did a little grocery shopping, got cards for a baby shower (I'm going to be a Step Great-Grandma). She held up pretty well...I think I got tired before she did! Gene took care of the shop and did a pretty good business. Stil lagging behind a little.
What wonderful news to hear of the birth of little Benjamin Patrick! Sounds like Annie did a great job "Birthin' This Baby":)
I know we would all love to hold him for a moment or two...kinda like wanting to hold Diego;) LOL
GOOD NIGHT
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Gene sure has been getting around a lot here lately...have to keep my eyes on him;)
Yes you do Wanda. He is quite the world traveler!
Sounds like a good day all around!
Hitting the hay!
Hugs to all ♥
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur.
Thanking God for our new littlest eaglet and the 2 little eaglets before him! Kalis family is blessed and we are blessed to have them!
Trying to type with Annie sitting on my stomach between me and the computer. She is purring and demanding to be petted. Whoops! Now she is gone.
Heading to bed.
Nite all!
Sweet dreams!
I just went in to go to bed and Buphals is laying on my pillow and Buddy is on the other. What is a girl to do with 2 babies like that in her bed??
Hey everyone! I'm excited to see our eagles tending their nest -- I wonder how many eggs they'll have this season??

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It is a cold, rainy 41° here, near the nest.
All those DRY days we had, a while back, why rain now? My garden is shot and so is Megans. SOMEONE needs to stop dancing!
My thoughts exactly, Wanda. Where was this rain when I needed it? Now it's causing me great scheduling problems....
And now I need a magic 8 ball to predict tomorrow's weather...anyone have one I can borrow?
No early nest visit this morning.
Eagle at BWO
Now 2 eagles at BWO
Good rainy morning, everyone. Chilly here. Had to get my winter coat out.
Here I am at the big school house preparing to talk about child molesters. None of my topics are upbeat but this one seems to be the most difficult for students and the police.
Jo, we pray we get her in a class. We can deal with attitude but we don't like stupid.
Poor Gene. World traveler? It would seem so. And now he has to play carpenter. Lolly, enjoy the time with Jacob.
Prayers for Gina and all her family. Very difficult time for all.

So are their Grandmothers ☺ ♥
Good Morning Helen, and All..☺
Hey Margy, I thought you were working...I am so confused...
I think you are cornfused!
yeah, well I may have pumpkinitis..
Oh no, how do they get rid of that?
Let me guess - piecillin?
This is my one day off, Megan, then work the next three.
Couldn't find a gazing ball for you, sorry...
yeah, rain, kind of leaves one speechless sort of...cornfused...
Oh well, should hold down the brush fire threats
I'm searching for some more good reasons for it :(
Sharon - if you talk to Sissy before I do...She will be just fine in Martinsburg...with the Apple Harvest festivities, there will be extra law enforcement out throughout the city AND county...
Norma
I am sorry to hear of the death of your friend's daughter...more prayers added to the long list.
Yeah, well we needed the rain... timing is everything, but not much you can do about it.
piecillin...how can I top that....
I have my grocery shopping trip with my senior pal, then a hike up the road to Morgan County this afternoon...
Best Wishes for a Great Day, Everyone
Watch the wet roads whatever parts of our Eagle Corners have them.
Sorry it meddles with your schedule, Megan, the rain that it is.
xo ☺ ♥
PS I do not have strep throat and if there is anything wrong with me Friday or Saturday, I will not bring it to the dinners !
Good morning! Sitting here on ice....taking it easy. Jack is down getting pecans by himself. :(
Back is not too bad. Will pamper it for a few days.
No rain predicted here. Yea! And the temp has dropped. Got up into the 80's yesterday with very high humidity. Had to turn on the AC! Today the house is wide open.
Hoping it will dry out enough to mow tomorrow, but may have to wait until Sat. Ground is saturated, do not want to tear up the lawn!
Margy, are you off and able to go to the dinners?
Just looking at the nest and really looking forward to seeing Belle sitting on eggs!!!!
Hi Lolly - take it easy...
I can make Friday dinner on time, and Saturday dinner late :(
Gotta see Momsters !
TTFN xoxo ♥ ☺
Yea! I am so glad you get to go! Better late than never! Have those bibs pressed! Sure will be thinking of you guys!
Think I am going to walk down and see how Jack is doing. Not going to climb ladders, nor look up. lol I might take down our pecan picker upper. lol
Have a great day!
Good Late Morning All! It sure is a wet one out there - Grab a seed catalog Megan!
Headed out for a hair trim - would love just to stay in the house today.
The Joy of Benjamin's arrival still puts a huge smile on my face!
Feeding of the penguins/ducks at Baltimore zoo..
Diego sleeping - close up - sure is growing fast..
Wish our flock of turkeys would return to PA woods..
Woodpecker at Okie Bird feeder..
Nothing out on the Asia Trail..
Megan and Margy - thanks for all the pics over in the Momster Album..
Be back early afternoon.......
Afternoon, all!
Eagle still at BWO!
Lolly, guess you are staying put for the day? Hope the back feels better soon!
I heard this was December weather!!

Have fun Mits!
Well, no, duh?
I don't want women fainting in the aisle...
DUh...did you duh me....

She did mean to DUH you Megan! She told me so. I am the matron of honor at the big Train shindig!!

What???....outrageous....
Eagle just took off at BWO.
I was watching Diego a little; he was stretching everything from one end to the other.... Aaaaahhhh. That felt good.
Anyway, I also noticed that he is growing into (or out of) his "butter ball" look of earlier.

PS Jo: You are Welcome...the pleasure is ours to share with everyone else ☺
Afternoon everyone.Just got back from seeing Ben. He looks like his dad. He is 20 inches long. Took them long enough to measure him. I did not want to leave but lots of people coming. I got him a redskin cap and a football. He has long fingers.Norma I did count them. When my son was born I was so groggy I counted 11 toes. BBL

Breaking news: Boy, 6, Floats Away In Hot-Air Balloon
Lolly! Do you know where your grandson is
Mema Jo, I thought that same thing. Glad Gene is older than 6 or we might think it was him!
I have returned all beautiful & ready to put my feet up. It is quite an ordeal to get beautified !
Can't wait for the TRAIN -
Wedding you say! WHoo Hoo
Megan If it will be any consolation to you I will say that as I drove past Jumbo's there were NO cars in the parking area! No competition for you!
I'll take that, Jo, but I don't think my boss will feel any consolation from that.
The balloon was found empty, no child in it.
Both eagles at BWO platform
Wet Heads!
Well Megan that is because his grandparents took him home. Right?
I just wonder where that little boy is?
They really didn't say what the parents told them... He was probably inside eating also..........
My dog, Sam, has not been doing well lately, so today I took him into the vet and said goodbye. The ladies at my vet are so wonderful, lots of hugs.
Praying for all your good memories to go into your mind, Deb.
I have an aging cat that is not doing so well and her time is coming. It has to be a very decent thing that you can do for your pet. ((hugs))
It was the right thing to do, but it is a hard decision to make.
Deb, God bless your heart. That is one of the most selfless decisions we make in our lives. Prayers are with you!
Good WET and COLD PM all. What a long, miserable day. Finally finished newspapers, email and blog! feel caught up, but also very sleepy!
So fun "listening" to all of your banter! Cracked up over pumpkinitis and piecillin, etc., along with marriage proposal, etc. ROFL!!
Know that Margy is gone, but drive safely!
Norma, prayers and sympathy for your friend...so sad.
So very sorry, Deb. Sometimes love can really hurt!
Oh, Deb, most definitely feel your mixed emotions about Sam....it is the right thing to do, for sure, but it is so hard to say goodbye. Have been there so many times, and it breaks my heart everytime. But the blessing is that he will no longer be in pain or debilitation and will be running free with all of our beloved companions. (((Hugs))) and love.
Good Afternoon, Everyone!
Sorry to be so late getting here, but I'm in high gear today when it comes to house cleaning! Almost done now, but about to tackle the bathroom floor next.
First of all, am adding Norma's friend, Gina Loy, to the prayer list. SO sorry for the loss of her daughter! What a heartbreaking situation!! God bless her, and her family. Prayers for you, too, Norma. ((Hugs!))
Deb, you're on my prayer list too, and your family, in the loss of your Sam. Never have understood why dogs have such a short life span compared to us humans. Still miss my Molly; don't know if I'll ever get over losing her, either. You will be in my thoughts & prayers. Sending a big ((Hug)) your way.
Prayers of thanksgiving for little Benjamin Patrick!!! What a joy!!
Hope you are all having a good afternoon; I've got to get back to work! OMIGOSH, THE KIDS ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT!!!!!!! (Gee, WHO was that shouting??!! Was that ME??? Oh--sorry! Absolutely cannot contain myself!!! Will be back later. Take care! :o] :o] :o]
Oh, Deb, I am so sorry about your Sam! I know how hard it is...I hope you can take comfort in the fact that he is not hurting anymore.
(((Hugs)))
P.S.~~ Sharon, I guess congrats are in order! And speaking of Trains, I think we're going to try to take our GD and GGD to San Juan Capistrano on the Amtrak for the day! WHOOO WHOOO!! If we are able to schedule it in, will be thinking of you! ;o]
Andy - I think I can tell some sort of excitement in your comment! I wonder why - bet it isn't just because the carpet is clean! lol Enjoy your family time! ((hugs))
I bet Helen's arms are not the least bit tired yet from holding Benjamin all afternoon! ((hugs))
Hi Everyone
Welcome BEN into the world, contragulations Mits!!! ( :
Sorry for Norma's friends loss.
Deb I feel your pain...keep the memories close.
Has anyone heard any news about the 6 year old boy from Fort Collins Colorado that either got into a balloon that escaped and when it landed he wasn't in it. Or he may have never entered the balloon. They are searching everywhere???????????
My daughters friend that lives near Fort Collins has a 6 year old son. Prayers for the boy whoever he is....sure hoping it isn't Rocky. Such a sweet kid.
Grandkid excitement today, for Helen and Andy!
I read that the boy's name is Falcon.
Our doggie has been treated by the vet since Monday Oct. 12th. Took him in was in great pain. Has something like I have. In his neck a nerve and in his spine a nerve. Poor fellow couldn't lay down for hours. We thought his legs were going to collapse. Vet (we love Dr. O'Donnell) she gave him pain med and a muscle relaxer. He can no longer do steps. So we are trying to figure out how to train him inside in a new crate we brought putting a pee pad down and praying with can teach him to go in there. His health otherwise is great. Put if he does the steps outside he can be paralyzed. Too hard for Ed to take him down the front ramp and now it is getting to hard for me too. Putting too much tension on the cervical and spinal stenosis. So please pray he catches on fast to the new method. Thank you...
I sure hope so for you, Dana.
Thank you Deb (((((me hugs Deb))))
your a sweetheart.
Boy has Megan see those pictures Jim sent around of the different things; like Halloween and all made from the hay....Mema Jo wants the castle. tee hee I'd still get lost even in the low maze lol
Wow, looks so bright and cheery at the nest...wonder if there is sun there or it's the nitelight...dark a dreary here!
Get this the boy in the helium baloon is Falcon. Have not found him yet.
Andy I know how excited you must be.
Norma sorry to hear of your friend's daughters death.
Deb sorry to hear about Sam. Still miss our Misty, Lady Victoria and Princess.
Sharon Maggie was only 5lbs. 8 oz. Molly was 7lbs. 12 oz. I could be off an oz or two and then there is Ben. He does not feel 8lbs. Held him for an hour didn't even get tired.
Missed your comment Deb about Falcon.
You are lucky Aunt Ceil! Did they have a rocking chair in Annie's room?
Did they let you put the Redskins hat on Benjamin? I need that pic lol
Paula - I hope our cam is refreshing..
It does look a little light out here..
Guess we'll know around 7:00 when night light comes on.. (maybe not that early)
Sheila's chicks are alone
You can see the unhatched egg
It's refreshing...pic is changing...
EAGLE ALERT
Must be Lib....... I think
What kind of chicks Jo?
I keep forgetting to take pics......
Now I'm on the ball.......
Just sent out email to all to come see our eagle
Tell you later Dana
SEE THE EAGLE.........
Dana - Falcon chicks at Alcoa in Australia..
Poof our guy!
I just know we'll get a return visit
Dana, sorry about your doggie----are the pads scented in some way to attract him to it for that purpose??
Sure wonder why Andy is so excited...hmmmm! LOL!! Can't imagine not seeing my kids in 3 yrs!!! Have fun, Andy!
Ceil, I'm surprised that Mits let you hold Ben for so long---ha,ha!! When do they go home?? Amazingly short labor---that is really good!!
OMG---Miracle of miracles---little Falcon has been found alive! Waiting for more details..............
WOW! Safe & Sound At Home!
like I said - his grandparent took him home! lol
This story could have had a very horrible ending.... I think the news media may have jumped too soon.
Kid was NOT in balloon---he was in garage attic in a cardboard box!!! Law
enforcement searched area twice!
Sorry phone rang. Great Aunt MM is going over to the hospital to see Ben. She had jury duty today. I am scheduled for next Wednesday if my number is called.
Jo they have a rocker in the room but I held him and rocked him. Habit. Helen wasn't there yet. Got picture with redskin hat on him.
Lynn suppose to come home tomorrow.
Phone again.
Well Lynn - another Skin Fan in the
Makin' lol
Night light is on - Nest is MT
Spidey is on the move........

Hi,
Been out running errands. I picked up a dessert to bring tomorrow and a gift card to put in for the drawing.
It is gloomy and rainy here today.
Have been wondering what the arrangement of lights around the nest area might be. I do not remember seeing those before.
Susan e-mailed me that she won't make it until later on tomorrow evening or maybe Saturday morning. She had to meet with a study group for a class she is taking and catch up on her school work. She is working full time and taking two classes.
Kathryn called upset because the father of one of her good friends was murdered today. She has gone to see her friend and will get back to me later. The father runs a little store in Stafford County. His daughter said that someone came in to rob him and murdered him. I don't know any more. There is a news story, but it does not say much. Really shocking. I know Kathryn's friend and have met her mother.
Shirley - even though things seem to be falling apart right now - believe me that it will all come together again as it is suppose to be.
That is horrible about Kathryn's friend's father. The world out there is really SICK. I pray so much for
PEACE.
Yikes! Spidey is upon us!
You are right, Jo.
What is wrong with people, so sorry about your daughter's friend's father.
Thanks, Deb.
Dinner and phone call interruptions!
Now time for Jeopardy! BB.
I think I have some TV shows on this evening.. Maybe Bones and Mentalist
I'll need to check them out later.
Yes Jo Bones is on tonight. Great show to watch.
Settled into my recliner to watch Jeopardy. Nice and comfortable.
Oh you all know how Ed doesn't like vegetables. I picked up a bag 12oz of Green Giant Steam in Bag; it had potatoes but with skins on, green beans mixed in a Rosemary butter sauce. Delicious and Ed liked it yeaaaaaaaaaaa Buying them again!!!
I really like those steam-in bags.
Sounds good and also is good for you!
Shirley you may not make it for the whole show in that comfy recliner.
Is George near by?
Jo, I am playing a word game on my computer, so I might stay awake for awhild. George is eating.
BBILW
Watching Bones with Dana
Shirley, very disturbing and tragic news. So sorry for Kathryn's friends' Seems like the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket, doesn't it?
Tell Suzi that we'll be waiting for her whenever she gets here! Will certainly understand if Kathryn has to change plans, but hope she doesn't have to----sure that Hunter would be disappointed....or would you bring him with you anyway?
Dana, I'm right there with Ed on vegetables----but that one sounds good...will look for it next time I go to store! I do love the fresh taste of the steam-bag corn!
As far as I know, Kathryn will be coming with me. She was upset, and I know she is good support for her friend, but the friend has others who are good supporters too.
Kathryn was hoping to get a new tire on her car and drive it tomorrow, but if she does not have time, my car is perfectly capable of getting there. Kathryn had already planned to take tomorrow off, so there will be time tomorrow.
Interesting Bird Picture
My brother sent me this picture.
That sounds good, Shirley!
Saw that picture last week----can't remember who sent it, but kind of sad.
Jim (my brother)sent me the picture because the photographer works with Shirley, my-sister-in-law.
Lynn - what time are you available to come over to the Clarion tomorrow evening before dinner hour?
Balloon boy is on CNN. I am wondering . . . these people like to be on TV. Odd family.
Hi all! We just got home and now watching Grey's.
Deb, so sorry about about Sam. Feel your pain. Love hurts!
Yes, Deb, I was so sorry to hear about Sam, too. I have been through the same experience several times.
Hey ya'll, we have a new thread and I am going to bed! Heading up the road tomorrow---WOOHOO!!!
SISSY SAID NEW THREAD
