Check this out!!! It's a small world after all ♫ ♪ ♫

My Twin??

hedgie said...

Female estimated to be 35-40 y.o. Amazing!

Mits said...

thanks, Lynn, hey your famous:)

Mits said...

beautiful sunny day today, hope everyone is having a good one.

Lolly said...

Just came in from yard work. I am exhausted, gotta go clean up. Made a new friend today.☺ Jack and I were working in the yard, lady stopped and walked up the drive. She had questions about some of my plants, mainly the ferns. Anyway, we walked the yard, visited. We are both from the Rio Grande Valley. Her little home town is right next to my even smaller hometown and actually my parents were from her hometown and we went to church there. Same place Jack and I were married. Small world. I dug some plants for her and hopefully she will stop by soon and get them. Our street is a deadend and she lives further down, passes our house all the time. Nice to know folks passing by admire our yard. My efforts are appreciated!

Lolly said...

Off to clean up!

BBL

hedgie said...

That is very nice, Lolly. Did she just recently move there?

hedgie said...

Called Norma....since she is still computer incommunicado....she is planning on coming for the 12th!

Judie said...

Quick visit.

Found two DVDs on parental bullying of their children -- a different slant on bullying. Still need to find a legal route to get interview done with child molesters.

Lynn, love your twin. Beauteous to be sure.

Lolly, so nice you met someone with such close ties to your growing up home. Hope you two will make friends.

Off to look for trouble

hedgie said...

Palmer back at 1 position, looking out longingly...not yet, baby!

Got a bit of clean-up from all the winds done outside. Sun is warm, and humidity is high. Plenty more to do....a little at a time.

Ragdoll said...

June 12th sounds like fun. I can't make it from Maine. I'm jealous. I am planning for October. CAN'T WAIT.

Ragdoll said...

Hedgie, I haven't even started my yard work. Between working and getting pneumonia I haven't had the chance. My flowers are all coming in beautiful, but I didn't even get to rake the beds. I have bought more flowers two weeks ago and they are very thirsty in their little pots on sunny days.

My husband and I are going to spend the whole weekend getting things done.

Ragdoll said...

Palmer wants to fly soooo bad.

hedgie said...

Ragdoll, so glad you are planning for Oct.!!! We have so much fun!
As for the cleanup---I had already done it once post-winter, but those winds last week were fierce and made such a mess again...argh!!
I can't do much at one time, but do what I can as I can.

magpie said...

Lynn
Love the link about Your Twin ☺
wow, that gal is a powerhouse, and surely appreciates a lot of the same things as YOU.
Thank You for making that angel connection with Norma ☼, sure miss her on here !
My Bless My Blooms plaque must be working, I have yellow blossom flowers on both of my tomato plants !
headed to work
Good Evening wishes to all

Mema Jo said...

Popping in and out - Lynn - fantastic link... Even has the frog to feed and Paula's fish. Those black eagles are beautiful.

Headed out to get dinner with Alexis and her dad. Be back later this evening.

It's another TV finale night starting at 8pm thru 10...

Touch base when I return.....

hedgie said...

Yep, the other Hedgie sure has lots of cool info on tht blog! Think I will contact her and share our site with her.
Margy, I h-e-a-r-d you!! Hope your shift is peaceful.
Jo, have a fun dinner!
Hope the blogoblin isn't going to mess with us tonight----looking a bit suspicious that no one has posted for a while!

Lynne2 said...

Good evening all! What a beautiful evening it is, too!

Great story Lolly!

HEDGIE....that's so funny! Petty cool blog.

My family needs some prayers. It looks like my SIL has either MS or Neuromyelitis optica (Devic's Disease). Further tests need to be done, but it seems it is more likely Devic's. This is not good. At this time, they are doing a course of IV corticosteroids for the next few days and she'll remain in hospital during the treatment. That's all we really know. Except that when I talked to her, I don't think the Neurosurgeon had fully discussed this disease with her because she seemed to think she'll be just fine after the steroid treatments. I've done some research this afternoon and I am scared to death for her.

Steve doesn't know yet. Not sure if I'll let his mom tell him or if I should. UGH. It's a beautiful evening for talking to my Lord.

Going to get dinner....BBL

Mits said...

that is too bad, Lynne, prayers for her.

Lolly said...

Getting ready to prepare some supper but before I do want to let you know the severe weather has missed us today. Been watching the news, scary pictures of tornadoes just east of us.

Off to prepare supper. Tonight Spicy Meatballs and rice. I am hungry!!

WV sUSAn said...

I'm down here stalking and just wanted to test the blog. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.

Hedgie -- love the aka Hedgie site. And that's one impressive eagle!

Mema Jo said...

Hello - back from dinner and playing checkers with Alexis. Now you know where we ate dinner.

Lynne - So sorry about the diagnosis for you sil. Prayers for her & all of you. If I remember correctly she resides in FL. How old is she Lynne.

Mema Jo said...

Palmer is at her favorite spot. Still not sure that is from where she will take her first flight.

Costume Lady said...

I need to pop on here quickly, before the evening TV shows start.
Got to GG's late this morning and she had been out in the garden pulling weeds. Looks like giving her the nerve pill in the morning is a success! Doctor says a whole one is not good for her, but a half one does nothing...a whole one allows her to be more like herself. What am I to do...listen to the doctor or go with what seems to work? I WILL DISCUSS this with her new doctor next month.

I am so happy that NORMA is planning on joining us on the 12th. It has been sooo long since we've seen her!

Happy, also, that Ragdoll is joining us in October. Anyone named RAGDOLL is a friend of mine, since "Raggedy Ann, Ragdoll is one of my best sellers":) Ragdoll, hope you are planning on joining us on the Friday night before the Saturday festivities. It is a super-fun evening, getting to know those whom we haven't met yet and reconnecting with friends that we haven't seen for a while. Guarantee you a FUN weekend!

Mema Jo said...

Headed for "Bones"

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all!

Did yesterday's thread ever straighten itself out?

Peeping eaglet in the nest

Lynne2 said...

I smell meatballs....

testing 1, 2, 3 Ragdoll, we are a go!

Wanda, so glad GG was more like herself today! That is a tough one about how much to let her have. UGH. Seems like if it's not going to interfere with other meds by doing that...well, quality of life is very important!

Jo, my SIL is the same age as me, 24. LOL!!! We are both 48. She does live in Fla.

paula eagleholic said...

Now a quiet eagle,

Neat story Lolly.

Lynne, I'll have to check out your 'twin'

Margy, is that a truck for your avatar?

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy, Lynne! Are you keeping the second puppy, I forget her name.

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, Margy, love the flowers in the jeep

Lynne2 said...

Paula, her name is Pearl. One of the volunteers said she'd approach the board of the rescue to see if they'd waive the adoption fee in lieu of our fostering her for 2 months now, and because no one has shown any interest in her for some reason. SO, we may end up with her!

Lolly said...

Well, I do hope you get to keep Pearl. I think she was meant for you!

Now, let me tell you Lynne. There is no reason in this world to fib about your age when you are 48. That is young!!! ☺

Yes, prayers for your SIL. And, she is young........ too!

Lolly said...

Laurel just called. She had been to a gold party. She got $185 for broken, misc gold she had lying around. She was happy!

Lolly said...

Lady I used to teach with is now buying gold, having parties, etc. Think I will call her and see what I can get for broken stuff.

Lynne2 said...

LOL Lolly! My new strategy is that I'll now tell people who don't me that I'm 58 and won't they think I look great for my age then!!! Never pays to try to lie YOUNGER!

Petty cool that Laurel got the cash for gold!

Lynne2 said...

I don't have any gold. Except my wedding band a a pair of hoop earings. But Steve has a HEART of gold!!! Priceless!

paula eagleholic said...

Ah, Pearl!

Yes, Lynne, that is what is most important!

Palmer trying to convince the adult in the tree she needs food.

Lynne2 said...

If we keep her, I want to name her Dolly. She just looks like a Dolly to me. And she'll need to loose her fru fru cocker cut and get a short cut...she's an outdoorsy girl, not a fru fru girl!

Lolly said...

Trying to figure out how Palmer is sitting. On her side? Looks funny!

Lynne2 said...

she looks funny, like on her tummy with a tilt to the right and the left foot hanging out. Oops, just moved.

Lolly said...

Lynne, have you posted any pictures of "Dolly"? How do the the two dogs get along?

Lynne2 said...

whining little eaglet!

paula eagleholic said...

Palmer up and fussing! Think a parent came back without food!

Lynne2 said...

Well, no I haven't. There are some pictures I took on
Pearl

and she and Daisy are a riot together! They play like crazy!

paula eagleholic said...

Interesting blog link, Lynne. Doesn't look like the cam is operational.

Lynne2 said...

Palmer was just swinging that head around in circles!

Lolly said...

Bless you! I think Palmer just sneezed.

Lolly said...

Din Din is ready!

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, Lynne, I see they changed her story...cool.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, took out THAT part, you know what I mean.

Lynne2 said...

Yes, they sure did take "that" part out!

hedgie said...

Hi again. Didn't get lost....just busy with phone calls! Had t o do some net searching for my sister.

Lynne, sure hope your SIL has successful treatment, It sounds like it could be dire..but I found some hopeful stats, too. Praying for her and you all.

Lynne2 said...

I know Lynn. What a mess. She's in such bad shape already and these symptoms have been going on for over a year at least, without anyone til now figuring this out for her. Steroids start tomorrow which will hopefully bring some much needed relief.

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry about your SIL, Lynne

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I just said bless you out loud to Palmer

hedgie said...

Pearl is looking so good....a bit fru-fru but at least not shaggy!
I have had the feeling all along that you are going to be her permanent mommy, Lynne!

Paula, this Lynn was wondering about the cam on that link, too. But check out the Apr. blog links on the right (scroll way down) and see pics of more black eagles!

hedgie said...

Grey's is a chiller/thriller....BBL.

Mits said...

wow, Grey's is like shut em up at the OK Corral:(

paula eagleholic said...

Aw, Palmer is going nitey nite ♥

Judie said...

Lynne, very sorry about your SIL. I do hope there will be some relief for her.

Good night everyone.

Turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others. Pleasant eagle dreams for all.

paula eagleholic said...

Thought this was cute

Eagles do the darndest things!

paula eagleholic said...

Wow on Grey's

Lynne2 said...

what happened on Grey's??

WV sUSAn said...

Paula, thanks for sharing the Anchorage eagle site. Petra sure looks happy!!

Lynne2 said...

Paula, that eagle taking a bath is too funny!

Heading to bed now. Tomorrow Steve is leaving for the weekend with his friend Dave and son Bill, to Deep Creek to go fishing. It's the first time since we've been married that we'll be apart :(

My MIL is heading for FLA in the AM.

Prayers for safe travels. Prayers for all of you and have a good night!

hedgie said...

Whew...what a lot of mayhem and murder in a HOSPITAL!! Geesh!

hedgie said...

Fun pics of Petra, Paula! Birds
just wanna have fun!!

Mits said...

I am totally exhausted after watching Grey's...guess those newbies on the show only had a 1 season contract...lol

Mits said...

loved the eagle page, Paula, thanks

hedgie said...

Well, dear ones, I am saying goodnight. Need sleep! MUST try to get more done outside tomorrow.
Sleep well. Prayers for all.

Lolly said...

Just finished watching Greys. Had it recorded and therefor running a wee bit behind. Wow! That was almost too much.

Mema Jo said...

I have watched 3 shows.... Not Graves
But Bones was ok - closure as to where everyone was going and with whom.
CSI - Ray may be dead! I don't like losing him.
Mentalist...... Red John returned - you never saw him except with a mask on. He didn't kill Jane - but did kill others.

Anyhow must of them were the finals.

Lolly said...

I am yawning and my eyes are watering. Time to start getting ready for bed.

Nite all!

Sweet dreams!

Costume Lady said...

I'm like you all, GREY'S was nerve wracking...I think I am having an anxiety attack, still! May need a G&T to get to sleep;)

So many illnesses on here...praying for all of them.

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS

NatureNut said...

Wow, I missed another whole evening w/out stopping by. Late afternoon Dr. appt~~~it was an owwie! He had to lance an inflamed cyst & NO novacaine ☺! This is not my week for body parts! Came home & took a pain pill (from the dentist!)Had a Panda nap, then played in the dirt with the spotlight on to help finish planting some pots.When I was first sitting at table on deck that has umbrella, saw Daddy Downy & Sonny. The big red-bellied WP came to suet & disturbed them. Baby flew under the umbrella & fluttered at the center pole! He did fly back to tree! If I had my hand out, he could have landed!!
First time I saw the cam late morning, Palmer was at 1 o'clock & it looked like a smaller juvie was w/him/her at 2! I then figured out that P had right wing stretched out & that was the wingtip!
Well I'm probably ready to konk out, so Prayers for all & Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)

Mema Jo said...

Well tomorrow it all begins... hair do
for me the mema of the bride!
Weather is looking like a gem for Saturday afternoon!

Remember tomorrow at 1:00 - Memorial for Vicky's brother.

Mema Jo said...

Paula - did Michael get a haircut?
I was looking at your Gettysburg pics.

Mema Jo said...

Checked on Palmer - Spidey didn't do a complete web again tonight. Think I see Palmer up at 1 ish

Heading down the hallway

Good Night All
Many prayers being said for all

(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Good morning! I am not going to school today. I have a class tonight that starts at 4:00 pm, and thought I would get some research papers graded today since I have another class that will last all day Saturday. (Besides, a working woman has to have some weekend time.)

Our seniors have a Kings Dominion trip today, so my two 12th grade classes will be mostly gone. My juniors have plenty of work to do.

The class I am going to is on classroom museums. I got an e-mail from the teacher that said we should bring the things we want to work with. I have scrapbooks from the 1920s that my parents put together when they were in college that I'm going to take.

stronghunter said...

Going back to read some earlier blogs.

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Jo, it won't take much to make you the most gorgeous mema of the bride. So glad the weather looks great for tomorrow.

Shirley, the museum class sounds fascinating. Please remember to tell us about it.

Off for coffee and newspaper. Will go for groceries later.

stronghunter said...

Read back and see that Jo did some fixes on my e-mail connections and the blog. Thanks. I also see that you all got my link to the news story about the attempted abduction in Hunter's sitter's neighborhood. It was scary.

I see that Palmer is doing wingersizes this morning. Haven't had lots of time to watch.

stronghunter said...

Hi, Judie!

Parent just stopped by to visit Palmer. But doesn't seem to be any food.

stronghunter said...

The museum class is targeted for teachers of K-8, but I don't see why I can't have a classroom museum, too!

magpie said...

Palmer is waiting on breakfast but little chick at Loch Lowe's having wushi
Loch of the Lowe's

Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s

magpie said...

there seemed to have been a scare by an intruder osprey there, Ma Osprey squawked and squawked, Pa showed up with his presence and a big fish
see two yet unhatched eggs there

Palmer is looking GREAT this morning

magpie said...

enjoy your sort of day off Shirley
Hi Judie...going to Sheetz?

Best wishes all for a good Friday, Red Friday that is

excited for you and all the family Jo

headed to bed, will be awake before 1 pm, for Vicky

xo

magpie said...

big Ma Lion with lots of light in the den...hoping to get a peek at baby at Smithsonian

stronghunter said...

Could not get the Loch cam to open for some reason, Margy. Will try again later.

E-mailed the teacher for the museum class and told her what I'm bringing. Thought I might get some ideas before I go this afternoon. She will be connecting it to research projects for students, which is a really good idea. I will need to make adjustments for high school students, but it is also helpful to get a fix on what is expected of younger students.

stronghunter said...

I see lots of green leaves in the nest and Palmer is at 12:00-ish looking out at the world. I remember Hidey doing the same thing.

magpie said...

both parents at Loch's now, Shirley, did you click the button to play? sometimes you have to hit it twice..
hope it opens up
lion cam keeps buffering on me :(

magpie said...

your school/teaching ideas are always very interesting Shirley

zzzz's are approaching

ttfn xo

stronghunter said...

Clicked on button, kept going off. Will try again.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Fell asleep watching the news, never got the computer shut off.

Palmer plotzed in the nest.

Jo, Michael did cut his hair while he was here for spring break. It's the 3rd time he's donated it to Locks of Love.

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta head to work, catch ya'll late!

stronghunter said...

Still no luck with the Loch cam. I click it on and it clicks right back off. Odd.

stronghunter said...

BBL.

Lynne2 said...

Good Morning all! Hope everyone has a great day...wow, look at everyone up early this morning!

Remembering Vicky and her family today.

Jo, can't wait to see your new "do" for the wedding!

I'll be back later friends!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am putting a pic of a female rose-breasted grosbeak on my profile. She is gorgeous but she looks nothing like him.

Good morning everyone!

T-Bird said...

Good morning eagle peeps.

T-Bird said...

I brought my laptop to work so I can get some Palmer time in.

stronghunter said...

Falcon Cam

Just found this cam. Wasn't sure if it is one anyone has already been watching.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Well, we finally turned the AC on yesterday, but turned it off at bedtime and it is still off, 73.

Having to keep Annie in. She likes to lie on the brick right below the wrens nest. She knows something is going on. She is not a climber so no worry about her getting to the nest. The parents though do get upset at her and fuss!

Going to get Jacob from school this afternoon, then order pizza to be delivered and t-ball at 6:30. Really looking forward to seeing the boys, it has been two weeks!

Jo, I am sure you are going to be a beautiful Mema of the bride. We will want to see pictures! Have a great weekend. What are you wearing?

Lolly said...

Palmer is at his favorite position, about 1 o'clock. He is being very still...wish he would wingersize!

T-Bird said...

I sure wish Palmer's favorite spot was not where we can't see her good.

Lolly said...

Larry has added some interesting facts about loon nests on his blog.
