Finish bringing over: Good Morning Those In Eagleland
Thank you Glo I will be with you all at that time on Fri. in prayer.
Mits thanks for the links. I got to see the lion cub on tv it was a quick and I mean quick shot.
I have been having a terrible time trying to get on the blog. "Go away blogger cop".
Must go to town to mail contributions to Locust Grove Volunteer Fire and Fire in Honor of James "Jim" Wilson. He and Ed were very close. Ed's grandfather "POP" and "Mom" raised him. So Jim and his sister Judi and his brother Oran "Chip" (Chip) is from Long Gate, California. Me and Jim always teased each other. Those were my family within Ed's family that we would go to the Lake of the Woods. Shirley knows where it is. Funeral is tomorrow and he wanted to be buried by POP up in Cresaptown. He could have been buried in Arlington. He retired from the US Navy as Chief Petty Officer after 20 years of service. He was like Ed Jim was on oxygen. Last time we went to Lake of Woods. We took Ed's machine with us so we could just plug it in and not worry about bottles. It was so funny Jim and Eds tubing kept getting messed up. Jim was a character he said, "Oh let's just hook them together and we'll suck off the same line making it 10 instead of the 5. lol Chip is a nurse and he said when they were playing Penny Annie Poker "Pop" and Ed's Dad's favorite game, Chip said, "The only 2 winning around here are thoes 2 on oxygen. Someone pull the plugs." tee hee
Shirley I don't know if you know any of them listed in the obituary or not.
I have been enjoying Palmer this morning.
Thinking of Vicky and family and her brothers friends.
Prayers for all that need them. Plus praises for a lot of things God has done.
Palmer is taking a nap. Last year was the first year I watch this nest or any nest at all. Sometimes when I check on Palmer I think in my mind There's Hidey. I'm losing my mind.
I was late to bed, up earlier, crapped out for a couple of hours; and here I am bright and bushy-tailed, looking out at the beautiful, sunny day on my balcony with all the geraniums in bloom.
I noticed there is an Osprey on the Finney-by-the-sea nest, and it is late, late evening... A new attempt to nest this late??
Glo So very thankful for the body being found. Friday's memorial service will now have closure for everyone. Thanks for getting the word out to us so quickly. Prayers for all & lots of ((hugs))
Happy birthday to Karen, Jo's Jennifer, and Paula's Bro.
Wanda, hope GG is having a better day today. Does sound like an anxiety attack. Wishing her, and you, a peaceful day.
Well, about Cold Case -- I sent a bunch of scripts but was told they are too "realistic" lol. So disappointed. Really like that one as well as Law & Order.
Was so tired last night fell asleep until this morning. Body is happy about my workout yesterday NOT! Percoset was tempting but settled for Aleve. Had to get my "do" did this morning -- lookin' good!
Four little Kestrels - really cute. Palmer was snoozing a few minutes ago. RTH babies are really growing up. Need to check the lion cub -- thank you for the link.
Dana, sorry about Jim. Hope the service is in keeping with the honor he deserves.
Sad but grateful for the recovery of Vicky's brothers.
Jim, so glad you are bright and bushy tailed but no need to mention sunshine -- jealous.
Okay, off to do some house chores -- just ironing -- nothing strenuous.
Glo and Mema Jo, Thank you for the info on Vickie's brother. It is so sad, but I believe it is best for the family to know then to not know. Now they can put closure to this loss of their loved one. Prayers for all hurting hearts.
Jim, Yeah, you found the sunshine. There is hope after all.
Hi all! Yep, had an early morning hair appointment. Now I am beautiful. lol Barbara knows I do NOT like early appointments but that had to do. I like my mornings for reading the paper, coffee drinking, saying good mornint to you, and walking. Oh well, no walking today. After I got home I promptly went outside.
Chance of storms, but presently the sun is shining. Took our new car in to be wired and new brakes installed for the trailer. Getting ready for fall. Actually, hope we travel before then!! They better be nice to my car!
Jo, I watched 2 of the 3 shows....still need to watch NCIS: LA. I don't think that Alicia is going to stand by the jerk of a husband. As for Jethro....don't know....so mysterious. I just hope he finds PEACE. Didn't realize that it had been 20 yrs. since his family was killed.
I'm really bummed about Cold Case, but Ghost Whisperer not so much----like Mits or Lolly said,I thought it got too weird after Jim died.
Judie, I got beautiful today,too (not!) Don't feel so shaggy anyway, and roots aren't showing now! Take care of your poor legs---you should not have been on your knees scrubbing!
So relieved for Vicky and family that her brothers' body was found. They needed that for closure. I just hope that his son was not there when they did.
I bet Dr. Sharpe is ecstatic over their luck this year!!! It's amazing.
Okay, got an RSVP from Iris for the 12th (she'll be on her way to MI for a graduation), but at least she has successfully gotten computer use straightened out across the pond!
I know that I just read in the comment about the Andean Bear Cubs getting their names but I for the life of me can't find who said it - thought it was Hedgie Anyway..... Chaska, pronounced Chas'-kuh, for the female and Bernardo for the male!
Good afternoon everyone. Birthday wishes for all those celebrating today.
Glad the primary elections are over and we get a short respite until they start for the general election in November.
Last night's tv was "edge of your seat" drama! Left me holding my breath and can't wait for next weeks episodes. Not literally. Tonight is Law & Order SVU's season finale - should be a good one.
The sun today is playing hide and seek and now that it's near time to make supper it decides to shine. Boooo
My prayers going along with others for the needs/wants of our eagle buddies.
Here we go again, please post for me....this UK internet is dicey...
We had a fabulous visit!!! Chrissy cooked a wonderful meal and we hugged and hugged and chatted and chatted! It was such fun meeting Frank (who may or may not like "hominy grits" - he was too polite to say) but is a great guy. As you would expect with our wonderful Chrissy! They both have such a great sense of humor. Their son Matthew is a very talented young man - he makes the most amazing figures. I hope Chrissy can take a picture of one of them to show everyone
We had a lovely ride to "Beauly"(spelling) and even saw a steam train.
Unfortunately, since it took 2 1/2 hours to get there by train from London and the same to return we didn't have a whole big bunch of time together, but we made the most of what we had!!! Chrissy nearly got caught in the train doors as we said goodby! I left the hotel in London at 8:30am, caught a bus, then the train, changed trains, changed trains again and there I was in Kidderminster! Doing things in reverse got a little out of hand as I got steered wrong a couple of times and it was 9:30pm before I got back to the hotel!!!! I went straight to bed - a lot of walking for these poor legs, but worth every moment!!!!
Took a few photos and will post them with Gillian's help on Facebook tomorrow on our way to Scotland. I might have to wait to post them on here - we'll see.
Love and Hugs to you all from Chrissy, Frank, Matthew and Me...
Very strange...I posted a message from Iris.....and it was here, and then it was gone...??????

Went to GGs today and she was full of anxiety again, but not shaking like she was yesterday. I think that she knows now that she's not having a heart attack and is more able to handle the anxiety episodes. I'm going to give her her ant-anxiety pill first thing in the morning instead of mid-afternoon, and see how that works for her. We went shopping for mastectomy bras and a prothesis today. I can't begin to tell you what a hoot that was. GG had been putting a "form" in both cups of her bra because she lost so much weight that the prosthesis was larger than her remaining breast...the "form" made her look even. Well, when the clerk went to measure her, she saw that she had 2 "forms" and said Oh, I didn't know you had a double mastectomy. GG said "yes I did" (she didn't). Then the clerk said "Oh, you had a partial removal of the other breast?...GG said "I must have, there's not much left":) I decided to let the clerk and GG talk that one out! (I was outside the dressing room door, but could still hear what was going on) She chose a pretty black lacy one, one flesh color and 2 white. I'm afraid the lace will scratch her fragile skin, but she LIKED it, so we got it. I actually enjoyed myself and I think she did too.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that one of the churches in Martinsburg donated $250 toward our Soup Kitchen. Is that special or what? Makes me so happy! The money is great, but it truly is the THOUGHT!
I posted 2 comments and neither one printed!:( Long story shortened..GG and I went shopping today for new mastectomy bras and a prosthesis. She was so funny...I think we both enjoyed the day!
Well, the deed is done. Mom's house is sold. Everything went great.
Met the buyers for the very first time today....very very nice couple with a 15yo son. Talked a lot with them before we dug into the paperwork. Mom would be pleased knowing such a nice family moved into her house :)
I am getting really angry with the blogger cop. Everythhing I post is there....until I post again and it disappears. For the third time, from Iris:

Wow, Lynn, What a wonderful message frim Iris!!! I thought I could get on here at work, but no such luck. Just got home~~~we are really busy because SOME people won't send their work orders in 'til the last minute or they can't find their stuff that needs updates! Happy Birthday to All of today's celebrants. Dana, Prayers for Jim's family and for Vicky and her family---will be observing on Friday. A couple neat things happened around home~~~saw my first hummer this morning. I planted their red sage (salvia) over a week ago in a window box on deck railing. It is close to the tree where we put the feeder I need to hang. I have a several year old perrenial called armeria in big pot. Last year I thought it was gone---then a few leaves started to grow very late. I gave it Miracle Gro. It got leaves, but too late for flowers. About a month ago I gave it M. G.& today it had 3 pink flowers open!!!They are cup-shaped, about silver dollar size +. Gonna watch Idol & then part 2---neat stuff at Chelsea office!! ☺
Maybe we all are only able to see our own posts. Maybe yours are disappearing, too. Anyway, I am giving up for tonight. COunt is seriously messed up, too. Go figure. Hope all sleep well. Prayers going up.
Oh my, such great fun to hear from Iris about the visit with Chrissy. So very, very happy they were able to enjoy some time together. Isn't it wonderful the "family" we have?
Darth has a dental appointment early tomorrow. Will be going with him just in case he is not alert enough to drive.
Need to turn my light out but will leave the night light on for others. Pleasant dreams for all. BB tomorrow afternoon.
So glad they found Vicky's brother, especially before the service. Prayers continue for the family.
WOW, how exciting to hear from Iris! I'm so glad she got to meet Chrissy and family and had such a good time! Thanks for the update Lynn. (and for the funny cartoon!!!)
We just took the 2 "former" tadpoles now Wood Frogs out to the woods and let them go....2 down, 100 to go. Sure would be easier if they all developed at the same rate!
Oriole fight in flight in the yard again today.
Well, we made all kinds of plans for the next few weekends based on our schedules, MIL, etc. and planned a 4 day camping trip for the only weekend possible in the near future, June 10-13 (missing the nest visit) but now....Steve's sister is in hospital. She is having some serious health issues and has had a battery of testing done, and will have another MRI tonight of her neck. Anyway, everything is now back in limbo because MIL is going to FLA to be with SIL, but not sure until tomorrow when all this will happen. Depends on all test results tomorrow. UGH!
Heading to bed, prayers for all and have a good night!
Jo, I have not been able to post anything to the Momsters for some time. I tried to post a link to a news story tonight, but I do not see a sign of it on the e-mail. I know I asked you to turn something off when I was having computer problems. Is it still turned off?
A short story . . . My students wanted to know what I thought of those earrings that require the large holes in the earlobes--don't remember what they call them. I said that I thought one might regret having such earrings because you would be stuck with those large holes in your lobes. The kids thought that I should get earrings like that, and wanted to know what I thought about it. I told them that my birdwatching friends and my bridge club would be shocked. It did, as I knew it would, derail the earring conversation and start a birdwatching conversation. They were surprised that there are nature cameras that can be watched 24-7.
intended to post much earlier and forgot I meant to do it:
Suzanne sent me all her extra copies of the newspaper with the NCTC article, so she was also a large part in helping Lynn and me get the articles sent around I still have a few, have not gotten BEagle's address....and anyone else who might still want one
I'm going to post this again sometime Thursday also...
It's wonderful to hear about the meeting of Chrissy and our dear Iris! Who'd a ever thunk a meeting with one of us and Chrissy would take place. WAY TO GO IRIS!
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS SWEET DREAMS PRAYERS FOR ALL
I have another funny story. When Mother died Sharon and I had to choose her clothes for the funeral home. We did not know what to take in accessories, but we took a bra and two forms. She only wore one on one side, but was afraid she would need both. Well, they used both. I remember Sharon saying..."Well, they used both". We had to giggle. Mother always fussed with her fingernails and complained. Well, that last monthwhen she was so sick she did not mess with them and they grew beautifully. They gave her a beautiful manicure and a pale pink polish. She would have been so happy with her nails.
I'm late w/Rest of My Story. Had phone call from daughter & SIL in CA. Their biker trip yesterday continued at Sequoia (has largest tree)~~there wasn't much snow overnight!! Had rain and 40 going to Yosemite. She had about 8 layers of clothes on & said she looked like the Michelin Man! Anyway, some birdies saved to day at Chelsea. Our resident Kingfisher zipped & chirped across the pond. He dove twice & must have caught a fish~~saw him perched & moving around on a dead tree in the water. Later, went out about 7PM & all these grey looking birds were flying and roosting~~had crests. They were Cedar Waxwings!!! Only the 3rd time I've seen any. Isn't nature grand~~~can make your day!
that's a touching story, Lolly... as was Wanda's shopping tale earlier... when my mother died, we chose a dress that she had made, and one that we all loved too....a "Liberty of London" print with white bric-a-brac...
glad you seemed to have dodged any bad weather bullets...
Bad weather missed us, OK got the weather and tornadoes again. We still have a chance of bad weather tomorrow afternoon. Going to mow in the morning if it not raining. So, in order to get up early, I am off towards bed.
Hey there Loretta... I also saw Cedar Waxwings at Swinging Brige, last week, and have been hearing a scarlet tanager there but can't see it! And, saw my first black-throated blue warbler ever, a few days ago
Love the bra stories! Yes, Medicare will pay for them if you go to a specialty store. I never got one there--depending on the underware, I've used shoulder pads!!
Grandson James has a Baltimore Oriole in his yard (probably two I would guess) and some towhees ☺ glad to read that Lynne2 saw Mr and Mrs Towhee at her feeders finally
Thanks Margy, for your comments. After I posted that, I was not sure I have should have posted it. Did not want to offend anyone. Wanda's story just reminded me of Momma.
also Loretta: saw half a dozen Tiger Swallowtails and ONE Spicebush the other day, inhaling nutrients I guess from the creek shore rocks... got some pics will post this week-end sometime
Margy, how great!!!I know you had in your wildflower pics, some wild geranium. For years I've had some growing that I bought at the store, but I can't remember what they were called. Do they have another name, do you know?
well, we are mostly girls on here Lolly, and we are ARE family...and I don't think the guys would mind much...you know, these things touch all our lives in one way or another
(( hugs ♥ ))
well, Good Night Again...see you Precious Pals on Thursday, which it almost IS xoxox ♥
Good morning....SUNSHINE! ♪ ♫ Even saw the moon last night. About time! And all seems well with the blog---seeing everything that was missing last evening! Chuckled over all the mastectomy bra tales! Also was going to say that Medicare pays for 2 a year. Mom has been taking advantage of that deal now for 25 yrs. So many cool nature sightings for all! Shirley, your email and link came through fine...as did others replies. Hope Jo has it straightened out for you now.
I just saw the biggest freaking bird I have ever seen in my life in my back yard (and I have seen eagles!!). I think it was a Northern Goshawk but I am not sure. It was as big around as a tree trunk (thought it was a tree trunk till if flew!!) and well over 2 feet tall!! WOW!!!!! Couldn't get a pic, darn it!
Here I was, roaming around the neighborhood in my gown carrying a camera trying to find where it flew to. I am gonna be that crazy neighbor everybody has!!!! Just thought about what that must have looked like to my neighbors! "There goes that crazy woman again with her camera!!" LOL!
Was going to head out early to mow, but we had a sprinkling, enough to get it too wet to mow. Will wait an hour. Lots of thunder since 5:30, but the heavy rain missed us.
I checked the KOA book and it did not mention tent camping at Harper's Ferry. I will email out their telephone number if Susan wants to call them. Or she could google them and come up with their web site. Jack is on the computer right now.
Whoops there goes Palmer stretching his wings. Did not beat his parent this time.
Back home with patient Darth. He has a really fat lip. He'll go back next week to have the stitches removed.
Checked the Osprey chick and actually got to see it. Wobbly but Isla is there doing what she does best.
Palmer is resting last I looked.
Now to begin some searching for DVD episodes for some crime-related material. Going to check out a Dr. Phil program on abusive mothers and an Oprah series on child molesters.
Wishing everyone a sunshiny day.
Oh, we have one of those "Sissy" types in our neighborhood but without a camera.
Sissy, would love to know what type of bird you saw.
Hi Judie Bye Judie at least the Dentist is responsible for that fat lip! hope your day is a good one, good luck in your search for DVD's looks like it could be a little dismal, the subject matter :(
Thanks, Margy. Tree is an oak. I saw a really neat tip in Birds and Blooms....put a small bean/ sandbag over top edge of open car window to rest camera on to get steady shots! I need to try that. Not sure if my shuttle pic is blurred from my shaking or if because of wind maybe causing some movement of the lights.
I didn't see it posted, may be already, but they have the first hatching at Loch of the Lowes. Yippppeeeee The Lady,in all her aged glory, has once again brought yet another osprey into the world, with two more eggs in waiting. Loch Garten should have a hatch Friday or Saturday.
Costumelady -- glad that things went well w GG. I know how much she appreciates all you do!!!
And a big hello to all. Just on here a minute. Gas man on his way, plumber just left. Gas leak at my furnace. yikes Just about have it all worked out now. WHEW BBL
Chick is adorable Susan, in view now I was watching the egg "move on its own" this morning about 2 am our time was real excited to see the fuzz buzz and right on schedule! thnk I saw a crack in one of the other eggs too on their close-up zooming
good morning more morning people
more dirt means more fun, (that's from Alfie of Thomas the Tank Engine) so back out I go
Oh, and one more thing. So excited to read note from Iris about her visit with Chrissy. I know they were both so thrilled to get to spend time together. What a boost for Chrissy at a time when she needed it most.
Popping in for a sec~~~ TY, Margy for the flower link & info. Makes sense--ger. means crane!!! Mine are blue. As most of us have noticed, Spring has sprung a little early this year-- just saw parent downy woodpecker giving suet to baby boy hanging on the branch!!! Think I've seen that before around Father's Day.
Someone mentioned Hummingbirds. We put our feeders up beginning of May. They came right away. They usually arrive around the 10th to the 15th. Have to put three feeders up on three different sides of the house. It gives them a better chance to feed before being chased away by another hummer.
I'm going to my grandsons baseball practice tonight. He has graduated for 2 yrs. of T-ball. Now he's on a league. He feels like a "BIG BOY" now. You have to love it.
intended to say Paula best wishes on the closing of the house...a sentimental event, no doubt, sure there are lots of sweet memories there. I peeked at Paula's Prints, and saw the beautiful poem you posted on Mother's Day, and the great picture of you and your Mother on YOUR graduation day, then went back and looked at a lot of the other neat photos you have posted. Thinking of you ♥ (( hugs ))
nap time here, work time at 6 pm If anyone would like some Forget-me-not seeds, originally from Massachusetts and now I guess hybird with West Virginia, let me know, mine are going to seed now xox
Best wishes, all thanks ever so much for the dear friendship on here xox

Thanks Steve for the new thread. I left message on older thread for them.
I will re-try what I wrote over there. Seems my blue link didn't work.
Go to obituaries on left hand side click on that. Go to bottom of the list of people and click on More Obituaries Headlines. Jim is the 3rd one down May 17th. Just click on the blue and it will bring up the obituary.
Finish bringing over:
Good Morning Those In Eagleland
Thank you Glo I will be with you all at that time on Fri. in prayer.
Mits thanks for the links. I got to see the lion cub on tv it was a quick and I mean quick shot.
I have been having a terrible time trying to get on the blog. "Go away blogger cop".
Must go to town to mail contributions to Locust Grove Volunteer Fire and Fire in Honor of James "Jim" Wilson. He and Ed were very close. Ed's grandfather "POP" and "Mom" raised him. So Jim and his sister Judi and his brother Oran "Chip" (Chip) is from Long Gate, California. Me and Jim always teased each other. Those were my family within Ed's family that we would go to the Lake of the Woods. Shirley knows where it is. Funeral is tomorrow and he wanted to be buried by POP up in Cresaptown. He could have been buried in Arlington. He retired from the US Navy as Chief Petty Officer after 20 years of service. He was like Ed Jim was on oxygen. Last time we went to Lake of Woods. We took Ed's machine with us so we could just plug it in and not worry about bottles. It was so funny Jim and Eds tubing kept getting messed up. Jim was a character he said, "Oh let's just hook them together and we'll suck off the same line making it 10 instead of the 5. lol Chip is a nurse and he said when they were playing Penny Annie Poker "Pop" and Ed's Dad's favorite game, Chip said, "The only 2 winning around here are thoes 2 on oxygen. Someone pull the plugs." tee hee
Shirley I don't know if you know any of them listed in the obituary or not.
I have been enjoying Palmer this morning.
Thinking of Vicky and family and her brothers friends.
Prayers for all that need them. Plus praises for a lot of things God has done.
thanks for the call over, Dana:)
Thank you Steve for the new thread.
Thank you Dana for the call over.
Palmer is taking a nap. Last year was the first year I watch this nest or any nest at all. Sometimes when I check on Palmer I think in my mind There's Hidey. I'm losing my mind.
Haven't seen Lolly on here today. I pray she and her family are okay. Someone said there was some bad weather going on in Texas.
Last night Lolly said - Early appointment in the morning.
Thanks for the call over Dana..
I wish an alarm would go off on old threads once the new one comes up!
Happy Birthday Momster Karen
Hope you are having a great day

I was late to bed, up earlier, crapped out for a couple of hours; and here I am bright and bushy-tailed, looking out at the beautiful, sunny day on my balcony with all the geraniums in bloom.
I noticed there is an Osprey on the Finney-by-the-sea nest, and it is late, late evening... A new attempt to nest this late??
Finney-in-the-woods is doing spectacularly well.
I hope you are all doing well too.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
per Vicky They have found her brother . His body had crossed over the dam area and he was found in Michigan.
Glo So very thankful for the body being found. Friday's memorial service will now have closure for everyone.
Thanks for getting the word out to us so quickly.
Prayers for all & lots of ((hugs))

Jim
So grateful for Vicky and her family, they can finally put closure to this! Bless all their hearts!
Good early afternoon.
Happy birthday to Karen, Jo's Jennifer, and Paula's Bro.
Wanda, hope GG is having a better day today. Does sound like an anxiety attack. Wishing her, and you, a peaceful day.
Well, about Cold Case -- I sent a bunch of scripts but was told they are too "realistic" lol. So disappointed. Really like that one as well as Law & Order.
Was so tired last night fell asleep until this morning. Body is happy about my workout yesterday NOT! Percoset was tempting but settled for Aleve. Had to get my "do" did this morning -- lookin' good!
Four little Kestrels - really cute. Palmer was snoozing a few minutes ago. RTH babies are really growing up. Need to check the lion cub -- thank you for the link.
Dana, sorry about Jim. Hope the service is in keeping with the honor he deserves.
Sad but grateful for the recovery of Vicky's brothers.
Jim, so glad you are bright and bushy tailed but no need to mention sunshine -- jealous.
Okay, off to do some house chores -- just ironing -- nothing strenuous.
Jim I was watching them yesterday and the 3 nests. I bet Dr Sharpe is quite proud of the area!
Oh, Lynn, glad you got the tree treated and hope it works. Also, glad you have your phone working.
Lynne, sure hope you're feeling better this today.
Hey Jim -- when you refer to Finney in the woods, is that Hailuoto?
Glo and Mema Jo, Thank you for the info on Vickie's brother. It is so sad, but I believe it is best for the family to know then to not know. Now they can put closure to this loss of their loved one. Prayers for all hurting hearts.
Jim, Yeah, you found the sunshine. There is hope after all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Paula brother, Jennifer and Jo.
Paula, congratulations on the house settlement. Know you are glad to have that over and that a new family will be able to make new memories there.
Hi all! Yep, had an early morning hair appointment. Now I am beautiful. lol Barbara knows I do NOT like early appointments but that had to do. I like my mornings for reading the paper, coffee drinking, saying good mornint to you, and walking. Oh well, no walking today. After I got home I promptly went outside.
Chance of storms, but presently the sun is shining. Took our new car in to be wired and new brakes installed for the trailer. Getting ready for fall. Actually, hope we travel before then!! They better be nice to my car!
Have not read back on the blog. Has anyone heard from Chrissy or Iris?
Wanda, so glad GG is having a better day.
Jo, I watched 2 of the 3 shows....still need to watch NCIS: LA. I don't think that Alicia is going to stand by the jerk of a husband. As for Jethro....don't know....so mysterious. I just hope he finds PEACE. Didn't realize that it had been 20 yrs. since his family was killed.
I'm really bummed about Cold Case, but Ghost Whisperer not so much----like Mits or Lolly said,I thought it got too weird after Jim died.
Judie, I got beautiful today,too (not!) Don't feel so shaggy anyway, and roots aren't showing now! Take care of your poor legs---you should not have been on your knees scrubbing!
Ragdoll, I find myself wanting to type Hidey sometimes, too. Think Paula said she does, too!
sUSan, yes---Hailuto is what we refer to as Finney (land, woods) and Finland ferry is "naturit" site.
So relieved for Vicky and family that her brothers' body was found. They needed that for closure. I just hope that his son was not there when they did.
I bet Dr. Sharpe is ecstatic over their luck this year!!! It's amazing.
Love the Andean bear names!!!
Yes, so glad that Vicky's brother was found. What a tragedy! God be with that family and give them comfort and peace.
Think I am going to head out for a while. Have 30 minutes or so before we leave to get the car.
BBL
No word from Iris or Chrissy.....but see that Iris commented on FB a little while ago.so sent her a wall-to-wall request for update!!
Okay, got an RSVP from Iris for the 12th (she'll be on her way to MI for a graduation), but at least she has successfully gotten computer use straightened out across the pond!
I know that I just read in the comment about the Andean Bear Cubs getting their names but I for the life of me can't find who said it - thought it was Hedgie
Anyway..... Chaska, pronounced Chas'-kuh, for the female and Bernardo for the male!
Glo, forgot to say how happy I am for you that your family is coming to visit!! Know you will have lots of fun and make more memories!
Good afternoon everyone. Birthday wishes for all those celebrating today.
Glad the primary elections are over and we get a short respite until they start for the general election in November.
Last night's tv was "edge of your seat" drama! Left me holding my breath and can't wait for next weeks episodes. Not literally.
Tonight is Law & Order SVU's season finale - should be a good one.
The sun today is playing hide and seek and now that it's near time to make supper it decides to shine.
Boooo
My prayers going along with others for the needs/wants of our eagle buddies.
I will see Criminal Minds and then
CSI:NY Hubby will probably watch the Law/Order on other tv.
Diann - I look forward to Tues TV shows
All 3 I watched were great....
I am off to Wally Mart to look for 2 small throw rugs for doorways. I need the kind you don't trip over & break your leg! Skid Free!
Hedgie - I'm sure you'll holler at us whenever Iris emails you. Just hope everything were super well!
Keep an eye oh Palmer........
Ta Da-----message from Iris!!
Here we go again, please post for me....this UK internet is dicey...
We had a fabulous visit!!! Chrissy cooked a wonderful meal and we hugged and hugged and chatted and chatted! It was such fun meeting Frank (who may or may not like "hominy grits" - he was too polite to say) but is a great guy. As you would expect with our wonderful Chrissy! They both have such a great sense of humor. Their son Matthew is a very talented young man - he makes the most amazing figures. I hope Chrissy can take a picture of one of them to show everyone
We had a lovely ride to "Beauly"(spelling) and even saw a steam train.
Unfortunately, since it took 2 1/2 hours to get there by train from London and the same to return we didn't have a whole big bunch of time together, but we made the most of what we had!!! Chrissy nearly got caught in the train doors as we said goodby!
I left the hotel in London at 8:30am, caught a bus, then the train, changed trains, changed trains again and there I was in Kidderminster! Doing things in reverse got a little out of hand as I got steered wrong a couple of times and it was 9:30pm before I got back to the hotel!!!! I went straight to bed - a lot of walking for these poor legs, but worth every moment!!!!
Took a few photos and will post them with Gillian's help on Facebook tomorrow on our way to Scotland. I might have to wait to post them on here - we'll see.
Love and Hugs to you all from Chrissy, Frank, Matthew and Me...
Welll,,,,,,,this is a test....
Very strange...I posted a message from Iris.....and it was here, and then it was gone...??????

Went to GGs today and she was full of anxiety again, but not shaking like she was yesterday. I think that she knows now that she's not having a heart attack and is more able to handle the anxiety episodes. I'm going to give her her ant-anxiety pill first thing in the morning instead of mid-afternoon, and see how that works for her.
We went shopping for mastectomy bras and a prothesis today. I can't begin to tell you what a hoot that was. GG had been putting a "form" in both cups of her bra because she lost so much weight that the prosthesis was larger than her remaining breast...the "form" made her look even. Well, when the clerk went to measure her, she saw that she had 2 "forms" and said Oh, I didn't know you had a double mastectomy. GG said "yes I did" (she didn't). Then the clerk said "Oh, you had a partial removal of the other breast?...GG said "I must have, there's not much left":) I decided to let the clerk and GG talk that one out!
(I was outside the dressing room door, but could still hear what was going on)
She chose a pretty black lacy one, one flesh color and 2 white. I'm afraid the lace will scratch her fragile skin, but she LIKED it, so we got it. I actually enjoyed myself and I think she did too.
AND HOW WAS YOUR DAY;)
Oh, I forgot to tell you that one of the churches in Martinsburg donated $250 toward our Soup Kitchen. Is that special or what?
Makes me so happy! The money is great, but it truly is the THOUGHT!
Iris will get pics up on FB as soon as she can.
I guess it supper time in most of your homes, or Jeopardy! I'll hop back on here after shows are off for the night:)
I posted 2 comments and neither one printed!:(
Long story shortened..GG and I went shopping today for new mastectomy bras and a prosthesis. She was so funny...I think we both enjoyed the day!
Hi all, literally fell asleep at the computer for 30 minutes. I really am heading to the pillows. Hope I can wake up for SUV finale.
Will try to BBL
Evening, all!
boy look at Palmer at the back of the nest standing on the edge at 1ish!!
Now flapping around in the middle
Well, the deed is done. Mom's house is sold. Everything went great.
Met the buyers for the very first time today....very very nice couple with a 15yo son. Talked a lot with them before we dug into the paperwork. Mom would be pleased knowing such a nice family moved into her house :)
Happy Birthday Karen!
And to Jo's daughter, too!
Thank you Glo for the update on Vicky's brother. I'm glad they found him and can put him to rest.
Sorry to hear about your friend Jim, Dana.
Glo, have a nice visit with your family.
Poor me, still having steak leftovers :)
Palmer is now plotzed in the bowl.
Really glad it didn't rain up here today...got home early enough to mow the backyard...soo different than last week mowing in the rain!
Parent, Lib just arrived with fish! Palmer snagged it and is going to attempt to eat it, I guess....Parent just left!
Something must be wrong with this blog...no one's been on here since 5:32 and I have recently posted three posts, but they didn't show up!
Palmer just standing there, lol
OK, that one worked, lets try that again.
Palmer peering off the right and down...chirping...come feed me??
I thought I made a comment before I left for Wallymart but it isn't showing. So I am testing this one as I am getting ready to sit in front of the TV
Whew! NCIS WILL be back in the fall!
Fooled around with this blog for so long, I forgot what I wanted to say!
Might just say Good Night in case I can't get on again.
I am getting really angry with the blogger cop. Everythhing I post is there....until I post again and it disappears.
For the third time, from Iris:

Jo, thanks for the link
Mits, thanks for the lion cub link and info
Happy Birthday, Jennifer!!
Yay, chicks for CT osprey!
Wanda, hope GG had a better day today!
Dana, hope the plugs help and your eyes are feeling better!
3rd time was the charm, Lynn.
What a great message from Iris!
Will someone else please post something to break this jinx???
Where is everyone?
Fantastic accounting from Iris on her visit with Chrissy! Wow! I never ever thought for a moment we would have hugs with Chrissy! THANK YOU IRIS !
Bless you Palmer!
You watching Criminal Minds -
Is he talking about our blog information
I am going MUM..............
Posted some pics on my Lair. Take a peek, please!
Wow, Lynn, What a wonderful message frim Iris!!!
I thought I could get on here at work, but no such luck. Just got home~~~we are really busy because SOME people won't send their work orders in 'til the last minute or they can't find their stuff that needs updates!
Happy Birthday to All of today's celebrants.
Dana, Prayers for Jim's family and for Vicky and her family---will be observing on Friday.
A couple neat things happened around home~~~saw my first hummer this morning. I planted their red sage (salvia) over a week ago in a window box on deck railing. It is close to the tree where we put the feeder I need to hang. I have a several year old perrenial called armeria in big pot. Last year I thought it was gone---then a few leaves started to grow very late. I gave it Miracle Gro. It got leaves, but too late for flowers. About a month ago I gave it M. G.& today it had 3 pink flowers open!!!They are cup-shaped, about silver dollar size +.
Gonna watch Idol & then part 2---neat stuff at Chelsea office!! ☺
Lynn, blogger is doing the same thing to me...posts are missing!
That is so exciting. I am going to do that some day. I have wanted to go to England...now I just have to go!
Well, it is doing it again. Last two or three posts are gone. But at least the important one is there.
I posted some pics on my Lair....please take a peek!
Aha News from across the pond :-) Thanks Hedgie
Repeating again---sorry if others ARE showing up for you all---Jo, Mits, et al: NCIS WILL be back in the fall!
If anyone is here....reading this or posting....please email me and let me know that I'm not crazy, that the blogger cop IS...
Maybe we all are only able to see our own posts. Maybe yours are disappearing, too. Anyway, I am giving up for tonight. COunt is seriously messed up, too. Go figure.
Hope all sleep well. Prayers going up.
Well I posted this once and actually saw it on here but will say again Hedgie Thanks for posting the news form across the pond :-)
See what you mean about your blogs disappearing. It has now happened to me!
Watched AI, won't say who is going on for fear of spoiling it for someone, but it was what I expected.
The home page is saying 80 comments
Only 36 on here
Blog is screwing up big time!
From CRC on FB
Take a look at the tracking map of Noah. She's in Virginia where lots of bald eagles congregate. She's got great instincts!
Looks like we are missing 45 comments
BACK TO THE TV
Oh my, such great fun to hear from Iris about the visit with Chrissy. So very, very happy they were able to enjoy some time together. Isn't it wonderful the "family" we have?
Darth has a dental appointment early tomorrow. Will be going with him just in case he is not alert enough to drive.
Need to turn my light out but will leave the night light on for others. Pleasant dreams for all. BB tomorrow afternoon.
Evening all....
So glad they found Vicky's brother, especially before the service. Prayers continue for the family.
WOW, how exciting to hear from Iris! I'm so glad she got to meet Chrissy and family and had such a good time! Thanks for the update Lynn. (and for the funny cartoon!!!)
We just took the 2 "former" tadpoles now Wood Frogs out to the woods and let them go....2 down, 100 to go. Sure would be easier if they all developed at the same rate!
Oriole fight in flight in the yard again today.
Well, we made all kinds of plans for the next few weekends based on our schedules, MIL, etc. and planned a 4 day camping trip for the only weekend possible in the near future, June 10-13 (missing the nest visit) but now....Steve's sister is in hospital. She is having some serious health issues and has had a battery of testing done, and will have another MRI tonight of her neck. Anyway, everything is now back in limbo because MIL is going to FLA to be with SIL, but not sure until tomorrow when all this will happen. Depends on all test results tomorrow. UGH!
Heading to bed, prayers for all and have a good night!
Count on here is 43
Home page is 86
Hey! We're getting double our money's worth.
Spidey didn't do a full covering tonight! Too cool I guess....
Stopping to say goodnight.
Jo, I have not been able to post anything to the Momsters for some time. I tried to post a link to a news story tonight, but I do not see a sign of it on the e-mail. I know I asked you to turn something off when I was having computer problems. Is it still turned off?
See you tomorrow.
Blog is all messed up, don't know where all my posts went...
heading to bed
Hugs to all ♥
I was at bridge tonight.
A short story . . . My students wanted to know what I thought of those earrings that require the large holes in the earlobes--don't remember what they call them. I said that I thought one might regret having such earrings because you would be stuck with those large holes in your lobes. The kids thought that I should get earrings like that, and wanted to know what I thought about it. I told them that my birdwatching friends and my bridge club would be shocked. It did, as I knew it would, derail the earring conversation and start a birdwatching conversation. They were surprised that there are nature cameras that can be watched 24-7.
Thanks for the updates on Vicky's brother and the news links...this is so important to the family that Mr. Houck has been found
And thanks for the wonderful post about Iris's visit with Chrissy, Lynn
strange objects in the sky tonight, moon, stars, planets
where in the world have they been ??
intended to post much earlier and forgot I meant to do it:
Suzanne sent me all her extra copies of the newspaper with the NCTC article, so she was also a large part in helping Lynn and me get the articles sent around
I still have a few, have not gotten BEagle's address....and anyone else who might still want one
I'm going to post this again sometime Thursday also...
I guess my posts are showing
know there are a lot of things to comment on, health concerns, and good news...
just have to make it short and say:
I care! Prayers for the needs and Yays for the fun things
xo
oh funny, NOT
now there are posts showing that I did not see when I first signed back up....later ones that is
starting the round of good weather prayers for the Saturday Nuptials Jo
I see, not so much spider web strands tonight, THAT is good news ☺
It's wonderful to hear about the meeting of Chrissy and our dear Iris! Who'd a ever thunk a meeting with one of us and Chrissy would take place. WAY TO GO IRIS!
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
This blog is funny! Everyone is loosing blogs! Then, I discovered they show up in a different place and a different time. Spooky!
Wanda, so glad you had a good day with GG. Saw a read your long comment that you lost.
Loved the bra shopping story. Brought back memories as I took my mother shopping for the same thing. You do know medicare pays for them????????
I have another funny story. When Mother died Sharon and I had to choose her clothes for the funeral home. We did not know what to take in accessories, but we took a bra and two forms. She only wore one on one side, but was afraid she would need both. Well, they used both. I remember Sharon saying..."Well, they used both". We had to giggle. Mother always fussed with her fingernails and complained. Well, that last monthwhen she was so sick she did not mess with them and they grew beautifully. They gave her a beautiful manicure and a pale pink polish. She would have been so happy with her nails.
I'm late w/Rest of My Story. Had phone call from daughter & SIL in CA. Their biker trip yesterday continued at Sequoia (has largest tree)~~there wasn't much snow overnight!! Had rain and 40 going to Yosemite. She had about 8 layers of clothes on & said she looked like the Michelin Man!
Anyway, some birdies saved to day at Chelsea. Our resident Kingfisher zipped & chirped across the pond. He dove twice & must have caught a fish~~saw him perched & moving around on a dead tree in the water. Later, went out about 7PM & all these grey looking birds were flying and roosting~~had crests. They were Cedar Waxwings!!! Only the 3rd time I've seen any. Isn't nature grand~~~can make your day!
that's a touching story, Lolly...
as was Wanda's shopping tale earlier...
when my mother died, we chose a dress that she had made, and one that we all loved too....a "Liberty of London" print with white bric-a-brac...
glad you seemed to have dodged any bad weather bullets...
Better take the opportunity to say good night
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
Bad weather missed us, OK got the weather and tornadoes again. We still have a chance of bad weather tomorrow afternoon. Going to mow in the morning if it not raining. So, in order to get up early, I am off towards bed.
Night all! Sweet dreams!
Hey there Loretta...
I also saw Cedar Waxwings at Swinging Brige, last week, and have been hearing a scarlet tanager there but can't see it!
And, saw my first black-throated blue warbler ever, a few days ago
Gee, top of page says 104 Comments ☺
Love the bra stories! Yes, Medicare will pay for them if you go to a specialty store. I never got one there--depending on the underware, I've used shoulder pads!!
'Night Lol
Grandson James has a Baltimore Oriole in his yard (probably two I would guess)
and some towhees ☺
glad to read that Lynne2 saw Mr and Mrs Towhee at her feeders finally
Shirley I got the Eagle Momsters' email and the link worked great.
I'll check out your status on Momsters.
Thanks Margy, for your comments. After I posted that, I was not sure I have should have posted it. Did not want to offend anyone.
Wanda's story just reminded me of Momma.
also Loretta:
saw half a dozen Tiger Swallowtails and ONE Spicebush the other day, inhaling nutrients I guess from the creek shore rocks...
got some pics will post this week-end sometime
Margy, how great!!!I know you had in your wildflower pics, some wild geranium. For years I've had some growing that I bought at the store, but I can't remember what they were called. Do they have another name, do you know?
My sister in Mass. has pink lady's slippers, she is going to send me pictures!
Shirley - your access was No Emails
I have changed that to Daily Emails.
Possibly, Crane's Bill, Loretta, not quite sure but they are similar, acc to the Peterson Wildflower guide I just checked
Golly, I just remembered I forgot to take my evening pills!!!!
And of course since TH is my day off, a Drs appt!!!
Better get going~~Prayers for all & Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Thx Margy, I knew it didn't have geranium on the label when I bought it, 'cuz I would have been real surprised!
well, we are mostly girls on here Lolly, and we are ARE family...and I don't think the guys would mind much...you know, these things touch all our lives in one way or another
(( hugs ♥ ))
well, Good Night Again...see you Precious Pals on Thursday, which it almost IS
xoxox ♥
Going back the hallway
Hope Blogger Cop gets a good night's sleep and leaves us alone tomorrow.
Good Night All
Prayers of Praise being said
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
`I'm late, I"m late for a very important date' .... Wasn't that in a song from "Alice in Wonderland?"
ANyway, goodnight, pleasant dreams and blessings on all. Catch u tomorrow.
God bless!
Good morning.
Off to go with Darth for his tooth repair.
Just want to say I think I have a clue about the blog's mystery behavior -- its Boris -- he knows we don't like him.
Bye
Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s
Palmer is taking an early morning sun bath
and there is a hatch at Loch of the Lowe's
Loch of the Lowe's Osprey, Scotland
Good morning....SUNSHINE! ♪ ♫
Even saw the moon last night. About time!
And all seems well with the blog---seeing everything that was missing last evening!
Chuckled over all the mastectomy bra tales! Also was going to say that Medicare pays for 2 a year. Mom has been taking advantage of that deal now for 25 yrs.
So many cool nature sightings for all!
Shirley, your email and link came through fine...as did others replies. Hope Jo has it straightened out for you now.
Wanda! Is this your letter to the editor in the paper??? Excellent!
I just saw the biggest freaking bird I have ever seen in my life in my back yard (and I have seen eagles!!). I think it was a Northern Goshawk but I am not sure. It was as big around as a tree trunk (thought it was a tree trunk till if flew!!) and well over 2 feet tall!! WOW!!!!! Couldn't get a pic, darn it!
Here I was, roaming around the neighborhood in my gown carrying a camera trying to find where it flew to. I am gonna be that crazy neighbor everybody has!!!! Just thought about what that must have looked like to my neighbors! "There goes that crazy woman again with her camera!!" LOL!
Good morning everyone! Lost my manners in all the excitement! Hope everyone is having a good day! Prayers for Vicky and her family!
Good morning! Is that Lib in the nest? Well, which ever parent it is, it just got a beating by Palmers wings. lol
Parent was chowing away in the middle of the nest when Palmer decided to wingersize.
LOL, Lol, there's barely room for even two in that nest!!!!
Sis....too bad you couldn't get a pic!!
What letter to the editor did Wanda write?
Was going to head out early to mow, but we had a sprinkling, enough to get it too wet to mow. Will wait an hour. Lots of thunder since 5:30, but the heavy rain missed us.
Good morning, Lynn! ☺♥ So jealous of the June 12 nest visit. Dreamed last night of our Oct. visit. Am I anxious, or what?!
I checked the KOA book and it did not mention tent camping at Harper's Ferry. I will email out their telephone number if Susan wants to call them. Or she could google them and come up with their web site. Jack is on the computer right now.
Whoops there goes Palmer stretching his wings. Did not beat his parent this time.
So anxious to see Iris' pictures of her visit with Chrissy. Sounds like they had a wonderful visit.
Guess I am going to go eat a bite in hopes that we can mow soon. Best to get it done in the morning.
Have a great day everyone!
Parent is still chowing down in the middle of the nest and Palmer is settled down at 2.
Birds are all singing and chirping away---they, too, are happy that the rain has stopped!
Lolly, if it is our Wanda who wrote it, I'll post it if she wants---it was about illegal immigrants!
Don't forget to check my new pics!
Lynne, so sorry about your SIL's health problems. If your plans fall through, it it never too late to join us on the 12th!
Checked your pictures Lynn...
nice photos, love the "shuttle."
Here is an idea for a flower planter...(on my avatar)
is on Winchester Ave in Mtsbg near the old Schmidt's Bakery outlet store
time to play in the dirt, going to work on my Megan Flowers
xo Have a good day
btw
first time in a looong time there are NO ISS flyovers in our area for anytime soon
miss that old rascal !
Loretta
forgot to mention
Geranium, in Greek, Geranium means "crane" - hence, the Crane's Bill alternate name
here is a nice link for it :
Wild Geranium
Back home with patient Darth. He has a really fat lip. He'll go back next week to have the stitches removed.
Checked the Osprey chick and actually got to see it. Wobbly but Isla is there doing what she does best.
Palmer is resting last I looked.
Now to begin some searching for DVD episodes for some crime-related material. Going to check out a Dr. Phil program on abusive mothers and an Oprah series on child molesters.
Wishing everyone a sunshiny day.
Oh, we have one of those "Sissy" types in our neighborhood but without a camera.
Sissy, would love to know what type of bird you saw.
Bye
Hi Judie Bye Judie
at least the Dentist is responsible for that fat lip!
hope your day is a good one, good luck in your search for DVD's looks like it could be a little dismal, the subject matter :(
Good Morning - decided to come on in before reading everything. Hope the count is being kept accurately today.
Love that sunshine out there!
SISSY - Hope someone didn't get your pic! lol You better check out your local Bluefield paper!
Judie, is there any way that if you find the shows online you can download it to puter and then onto a disc???
That does make a cute planter, MArgy! Bright!!
Thanks, Margy. Tree is an oak.
I saw a really neat tip in Birds and Blooms....put a small bean/ sandbag over top edge of open car window to rest camera on to get steady shots! I need to try that. Not sure if my shuttle pic is blurred from my shaking or if because of wind maybe causing some movement of the lights.
I didn't see it posted, may be already, but they have the first hatching at Loch of the Lowes. Yippppeeeee The Lady,in all her aged glory, has once again brought yet another osprey into the world, with two more eggs in waiting. Loch Garten should have a hatch Friday or Saturday.
Costumelady -- glad that things went well w GG. I know how much she appreciates all you do!!!
And a big hello to all. Just on here a minute. Gas man on his way, plumber just left. Gas leak at my furnace. yikes Just about have it all worked out now. WHEW BBL
Chick is adorable Susan,
in view now
I was watching the egg "move on its own" this morning about 2 am our time was real excited to see the fuzz buzz
and right on schedule! thnk I saw a crack in one of the other eggs too on their close-up zooming
good morning more morning people
more dirt means more fun, (that's from Alfie of Thomas the Tank Engine) so back out I go
Oh, and one more thing. So excited to read note from Iris about her visit with Chrissy. I know they were both so thrilled to get to spend time together.
What a boost for Chrissy at a time when she needed it most.
Spreading the Eaglet Momster love!!!!
thanks for the picture taking tip, Lynn - I have some herbal sacks would fit the bill well !
Sissy -- Ill bet your neighbors wished they had a camera, too. OK, OK, I'm going now. hahaha
Latest link for Mason Update
Is the blog acting up again OR where did everyone go.
Just finished my email clean up!
Now I have pics from Germany to go through as a slide show. BBILW
Popping in for a sec~~~
TY, Margy for the flower link & info. Makes sense--ger. means crane!!! Mine are blue.
As most of us have noticed, Spring has sprung a little early this year-- just saw parent downy woodpecker giving suet to baby boy hanging on the branch!!! Think I've seen that before around Father's Day.
sUSan, sent you an email on Yahoo mail!
Thanks for Mason update. One step at a time.....
WOW!!!!!!Look at the wing span on Palmer.
OPPS.......Good Afternoon everybody.
It must be hot at the nest. Palmer is panting.
Someone mentioned Hummingbirds. We put our feeders up beginning of May. They came right away. They usually arrive around the 10th to the 15th. Have to put three feeders up on three different sides of the house. It gives them a better chance to feed before being chased away by another hummer.
I'm going to my grandsons baseball practice tonight. He has graduated for 2 yrs. of T-ball. Now he's on a league. He feels like a "BIG BOY" now. You have to love it.
Sounds great Ragdoll, sure he will be so proud to have you there ☺
I am still watching for my hummer(s)
Flowers/feeders are out and waiting...
I think they visit my neighbor first..
Going to get some sunshine
BBILW
intended to say Paula
best wishes on the closing of the house...a sentimental event, no doubt, sure there are lots of sweet memories there.
I peeked at Paula's Prints, and saw the beautiful poem you posted on Mother's Day, and the great picture of you and your Mother on YOUR graduation day, then went back and looked at a lot of the other neat photos you have posted.
Thinking of you ♥ (( hugs ))
nap time here, work time at 6 pm
If anyone would like some Forget-me-not seeds, originally from Massachusetts and now I guess hybird with West Virginia, let me know, mine are going to seed now
