LYNN, that neighbor was not naked, but closer to it than she should have been ! LOL Megan's post about her being red-breasted if she stayed out too long ! Haven't see her since, she'd fry in the heat we're having this week !
LYNN, ♫♪Happy Birthday♪♫ to your dear Jennifer ! Isn't she the talented artist ? Are you all having a party tonight ? Congrats to Carolyn, too. I think she had something to do with it !!!☺
Wow, Paula---had forgotten that you don't have central air....ugh!
Sounds like everyone chiming in late last night and this morning had a nice weekend! Poor Judie....haven't gotten through all posts this morning to hear how she slept....
Lolly, no slip'n'slide pics on FB...isn't that where you said they were??
Lori----you brought up the cam question.....IMHO I think we REALLY need to be prepared for NO repair until fall........I'm just sayin'.....
LOL, Kay----was your neighbor sunbathing naked????!!!!
Kay, only Finney2 frozen for me--still. Froze yesterday afternoon for 2nd time this weekend.
Hi, Granny Lynne! Good to see you---literally AND figuratively----love your avatar pic!!! I don't think any place here in the mid-Atlantic is spared from this oppressive heat or bugs!!
You dieting gals are doing great!!! Keep up the good efforts!!
Judie....hope the salon feeds you and lets you bring a mattress!!!! ROFL----sure hope you can get a new unit fast!! It shouldn't take too long since you already have the duct work!
LOL----seems like announcing new threads is all you have to say, Vicki!!! How is everything in Commodetown??? Did you just love the Groban concert???? Great pic of you holding the flower basket!!
Thanks for Jennifer's birthday wishes! Yes, she's my little artist! Some of you have met her----a very shy, backward kid. Nope, no party. They've apparently decided to just do a dinner out (the 4 of them) this coming weekend--Jess turns 17 on Fri.
Minnesota Bound Live Loon Cam It all comes down to this. Are you ready? Today is the day for our loon chicks to hatch. Will they arrive as scheduled? Tune in LIVE to find out!
The Space shuttle weather cross winds worry from yesterday has been changed, to simply partly cloudy, and they anticipate a Florida landing at 2:35 AM EDT Wednesday morning.
Kristen is here today - Here is the latest story. Anthony and Joseph and their dad went fishing at Sleepy Creek Anthony called John and Kristen to tell them "I caught a bass and a sunfish and I saw an eagle Margy is going to love that story.
Good Morning/Aternoon, Everyone! Happy Tuesday-that-feels-like-a-Monday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM!! HOPE IT'S A FANTASTIC DAY FOR YOU!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOO, TO LYNN'S JENNIFER!!! HOPE IT'S THE BEST ONE YET!
I will BBIALW--need to sweep the patio. Don't know whether gardeners will be here today, or tomorrow. If I don't sweep up stray birdseed, they blow it into the lawn. Then it sprouts, and we have a nightmare!
Heard on the news about a tour bus crash (in Virginia, I think) with some fatalities! Prayers!!!
Hope all goes well with all of you! Judie, hope your antique A/C can be repaired! Prayers for your checkbook!
Oh, yes, Jo....they do----he is keeping them in the barn with the fans running! So glad the kids saw an eagle----Margy heard they were there.....and by the lake would be the best place to look! Bet the eagles catch bass, too!!
Hi, Andy! Hope you still have some coolth!!! We don't!
JO - they're probably running a gigantic fan down the barn aisle to keep it cool for the horses.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JIM, MISTER MOVIN! I hope it's a beautiful Southern California day for your celebration.
Part of my B-day celebration was taking bird pictures and I've just posted some on my blog if anyone wants to see. I took a lot of flower pics, too, but those will have to go up another day.
Hedgie-Buddy still goes a little nuts if me or Sharon leave. There is still a lot to do but it is coming along. Like Eagle-Eye said, I can't believe all the type of trash that they hauled off this morning.
Oh....T-bird.....was this junk/garbage left behind by the renter??? How gross that would be! How old is Buddy now?? Has he had seperation anxiety before? Please give him a big ol' hug from me----and I'm sending one to you, too!
I love your pictures toooo but the evil google cop will not let me post I love the cow boy boot and i have never heard of a seed sack that is tooo cool I loved all the pictures the one bird looks like he was playing peek a boo behind the pole to cute
I saw what someone posted that the camera may not be fixed till fall I wish they would atleast tell us something That way we would at least know BBL gonna go get in to something just not for sure what yet BBIALW
I love it that this judge is willing to give a little to the jurors He let them watch the hockey Lightening game the other nite and Now they have asked for our St Petersburg Times Newspaper Pretty cool he said yes but it would be edited maybe piece cut out to cool
Hmmmm I click on the still cam link just to look an the screen I thought it would look like it has for the past couple of days that green nest with rainbow on top But no it is a really pretty shade of blue screen --- soothing really LOL I'm watching the trial wow riveting testimony by Sidney
Temp on the bank in Manchester said 102 on it! Thought, no way...but got home and that' what my thermometer outside says too....and it's NOT in the sun!
Guess what I saw a few minutes ago?!!!!! A little loony!!! Mom moved, shifted just a little and there it was! Whoops, there it is again, peeking out on her left side. Does NOT want to stay under mommy! LOL
Worked in the yard until just recently. Boy am I pooped and still have the house to get in order. The boys sort of have a way of rearranging the house. LOL Also, the beds are unmade but have clean sheets ready to put on.
Happy Hot Tuesday to Everyone in Eagleland. We've been complaing about AC at Park being too cold.New thermostat, w/temps locked by someone who isn't there!!!(Big Brother)AC is set at 72° which required a jacket in AM, but was fine today! Ms. Osprey today was shielding all 3 chicks with her tail spread as well as her wings. Every 1/2 hour or so, she flew into the water for a splash & the chicks loved the shower! The friendly giraffe came by today and saw both eaglets in the nest, I gave him my camera~~will check soon if any pics! ☺
can't wait to hear more about the friendly giraffe, figure it is a TALL person with a better bird's eye view BWO reports Parent Osprey spending lots of time shading babies today as well.. bet those cool returns from the water ARE very welcome !
YES JO - I DO LOVE ANTHONY'S STORY, GREAT STUFF...I NEED TO GET TO SLEEPY CREEK!
Was hot this afternoon 95 not a record! at lunch it felt nice the winds changed directions coming from the east so the spine of the state is usually the hottest and with the winds comin from east we are hotter than they are Our lucky day LOL
My air conditioner was down about a month ago 60 is all it cost me for the part can't remember what it was CRS Some-timers or Half-timers or all three
I had to turn off the White Rock nest couldn't take any more of the crow If I lived up there it would be bye bye crow LOL
Do you have start over I just turned on the station and we have the option to hit start over and watch from the beginning but you can't fast forward Go in the IE and you can watch it also
Good to hear that Paula James and I were observing different apartment buildings here in town.....which ones had open windows (no A/C) and those with little window units
How did we live without air conditioning? We did not have it in our first house, though we did buy a window unit for the bedroom. It made such strange noises.
We did not have it in our camper, either. And we went to some hot places. I remember being in Salt Lake City when it was 100 degrees. (Though not humid.) I refused to cook dinner in the camper that night. We went out to eat. Did not have a problem convincing hubby. No one would have wanted to heat the place up and then try to sleep there.
Beds are made, now to dust the bedrooms really well. Like I said earlier, I just want to sit. Taking a break right now.
Glad you have AC now, Paula. Do not understand. You take them down in the winter? They are window units? Everyone here has central AC. If they have window units they stay there year round.
Loon call! That is just so cool. Was showing the loon to the boys this weekend. Had to go find Loon recordings for them to hear. Laurel made fun of me. Grrrr! My own daughter!!
Lolly I have window units...coulndt afford the central when I bought the house 19 years ago...I take them out in the fall and put back in during summer...some people leave theirs in all year and cover them duriing the winter...and no the house isn't cool yet...it was getting there
A generator would be nice about now Paula I hope they restore it soon!!!
I am watching the trial that I dvrd today
My dad in Ky would just cover the unit that they had in the living room with a insulated wooden box and the one in kitchen he would take out I always was up there in Oct to help winterize the house boy do I hate that not going to Ky But instead I got to see my BFFs in NC which is nice I love it up there except when it get to cold Brr these old bones don't like the cold and my neck gives me heck in the cold.. HADA thanks for the link I missed it I was doing laundry when it was on and I didn't want to got through the hole thing reverse to find it I was going to go on line later Cool Thanks again BBL
No A/C in my cabin when I bought it. Got a window unit which was only marginally efficient. Lasted four years, I think, before I got central installed....wish now that I had gone ahead and made it a heat pump, too. Can't imagine that any houses are built today without central heat/air.
Yep...all on schedule for Endeavour landing.....can't wait! Think I'll visit the pillows and set the alarm to get up in time.
Shirley, apparently the renter of Sharon's house was on a month-to-month, so they were able to get back into it without having to give him too much notice. Yep---same house!
Was planning to try to catch up but have stopped with the naked lady. I just cannot leave you people alone!
So, hoping today was a good one for all.
Update: got my "do" done, walked through a parking lot where a tree has dropped a gazillion purple berries (inedible, I'm told) which stained sole of both new walking shoes and car mat, Darth and I met with the air conditioner person (owner of company), prepared left-overs, cleaned up dishes, and now sitting here sweating to death.
Need an entire new air conditioning unit and we have decided to upgrade with a new furnace -- makes sense ecologically and financially. That will occur next week.
See that a loon baby has been hatched. Congrats to mom loon.
So, going into a cold shower and then, hopefully to get a little sleep. Awake most of last night from heat.
All-in-all, not a bad day.
Be back in the morning before I have to attend a police faculty meeting.
Nightlight is set for automatic at 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all.
Okay, I am curious. Do any of my other fb friends see the video of the slip and slide? Lynn can not see it. Shirley, Paula, Jo, Lynne...can any of the rest of you see it? I posted it Saturday and shared again this evening. hmmm???
Judie, that seems totally untenable to have to wait that long! Geesh.....can you rent a protable A/C unit someplace???? I think you should try! Body shop can't take Shannon's car until JULY 5th! So he is getting new glass put in Th. at a glass place and then they will just have to pop it out to fix roof.
LOLLY nothing on your profile at all I just looked what time did you post it and I'll go down my newsfeed to see if it is there, or better yet post the link on here and see if we can acess it that way BBL back to the trial
I also didn't get the picture that Sharon posted of the group of you all I only found about it reading the post that Hoda made about it I went on her profile to see it and still can't figure out why I didn't see it Go figure Facebook
Was watching a little TV & eyes started to go...no dwnloading pics tonight! Sorry to hear Judie & Paula are without AC! Stay in the basement. Put AC on in car today for first time. Don't use it much--put windows down part way. May take a panda nap~~but if I don't return, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
Think I'll go outside~~can't nap in here w/boxing or something on at 1000s of decibels!! ☺
Just to clarify - I did get to move back into my parents' house. The man was doing a rent to own and had paid on it for about 7 months. He quit paying in April. He tried to get another job, he said, and didn't get it, so he sent me a text that he guessed he was going to find a place to move to. Come to find out, he was wanting to move to NC anyway, so I shot him back a text saying, okay, when are you moving? With Thelma not doing well, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to head back home. He had made a lot of repairs to the house but there is still a lot to be done - painting, laying flooring, etc.
Hopping on here before I start doing face plants onto the keyboard! Soup Kitchen was really hopping this evening! We had 43 guests...our best turn out! We ran out of Chili (didn't know Gene was making that, in addition to my TEX MEX an BAKED CORN CASSEROLE. I threw some cans of ravioli in a pot with a bit of left over Tex Mex, to replace the Chili, heated up some green beans and corn to replace the baked corn and made another bowl full of fruit salad. Clothing was, again, quite popular. One lady came in and filled her bag with clothes, grabbed a soda and left, didn't even eat:) I am so sleepy...must say good nigh now.
It get weirder! Just called Laurel. She can see it. Says it is there and says "about an hour ago" under the video and the picture. So, I am not completely crazy! Or is that loony???
Thank you Hoda for the Capt Sullenberger news video, I just watched it think I am going to get to bed early and get up to see if the shuttle will be able to land on schedule... history in the making on its way out, in a way... Thanks Hoda for keeping us tuned up about the schedule ☺ Think I'll go have a quick peek right now...then be back later in a bit
Difficult news about the tour bus with school kids crashing on its way to New York City, Chinatown, from North Carolina. Four fatalities.... Shirley, did this crash occur pretty near to where you live ? I-95? I heard Spottsylvania County mentioned....and Fredericksburg... Prayers for the victims, and the families Miserable safety records with the tour bus company, violations, poor driver records, How do these companies stay in operation ?
I am having trouble finding some of my summer clothes. There is an outfit I want to wear tomorrow. It is actually a couple of years old. Cannot find it anywhere. So I will wear an outfit that is five or six years old.
I was keeping out-of-season clothes in the closet in what is now Kathryn's room and had to get them out of there. I just do not have enough storage space anymore. Just need to get rid of things so I can find the things I really need. I have not had time to do those things. Another reason I am counting the days.
Paula, you are absolutely right...some guests stayed a very long time. We had boo coos to drink and ran out of that too. Quickly made some pitchers of instant lemonade that Margy and James brought when they visited:)
I know how much you all love my Stingbug stories...so here is something new to report.
Since it got REALLY hot over the last couple of days, there have been VERY FEW of them. So it leads me to wonder....is the extreme heat killling them? Are they frying in the walls?
Okay, that might be it. Laurel did the picture and the video, I just shared. She is going to change it and I am going to repost it. Just a fun video of the boys, no big deal, but just curious if that is it!
LOL, Wanda----I was thinking more along the lines of egg salad and tuna sandwiches with crisp lettuce and maters, and some jello salad or green salad, and watermelon!!! Bet they would all love that coolth!
Howdy Jo I was thinking maybe, Tuesday, Alexis, Meatballs, but not today eh? Neato about baby Loonie! Thanks again for keeping us on the Alert for that Today with your late night post last night!
Hedgie Sharon made a post at 3:15-something or other and it went on the OLD THREAD ! You asked about it...
Day one of new and improved eating went very well. I am doing the Six Week Body Makeover. I was doing that a few months before I started dating Steve, and lost 30lbs! You figure out your metablolism type and get guidlines on what the best foods are to eat, how often to eat, portions, etc. Really easy. In fact, I am to eat 5 small meals a day, and could only eat 4 today. Not hungry enough! No processed food at all. Just plain healthy eating. And they give you a lot of recipes too, although I'm not that fancy!
Lyne Your avatar is spectacular! Hope the stinkbugs are shriveling from the heat
You all have Stinkbugs? I have Ear-Wigs! Yuck I cannot stand them! have squished about ten this evening - inside the roost here :( Stinkbugs I transport outside, earwigs, I snap 'em up in some kleenex if I can catch them, they're fast !
Hmmm, the case of the missing outfit of Shirley's, sounds like a good challenge for Judie! I think, maybe...Shirley had to share hangers and something is overtop of what she is looking for
OMG Loons are making lots of calls. Mama left the nest and little loony followed her into the water. She jumped off so quick that little loony was upside down. Too funny. One adult is back, rolled the egg, but little Loony is still out on the water. I do not like that!

Derick posted this on FB:
Today, let's pause, reflect, and take a moment to honor Willis Haviland Carrier. Duh...he invented air conditioning!

Don;'t know who he is but I agree with him we should all bow down to this man and kiss the ground he walks on LOL
1902 was the year he did
Back to work I go HAGD BBL

Vacuuming almost done. Still can't believe that they do commercial interruptions of this trial....grrr.
Hello eagle momsters and dadsters.
LOL---Sharon, did you toss stuff AFTER the move rather than before, or is it packing boxes???!!!
Blogger cop won't let me post a comment on your pics, Lori. They are great, and I love the boot feeder!
I am getting really ticked off at Gooogle.
There's our Thelma!!!! How you doin? Are you all unpacked and settled in? Is Buddy getting adjusted to being "home" as well?
Hedgie-Buddy still goes a little nuts if me or Sharon leave.
There is still a lot to do but it is coming along. Like Eagle-Eye said, I can't believe all the type of trash that they hauled off this morning.
Oh....T-bird.....was this junk/garbage left behind by the renter??? How gross that would be!
How old is Buddy now?? Has he had seperation anxiety before? Please give him a big ol' hug from me----and I'm sending one to you, too!

I sure hope to see a successful Air Conditioning Repair Report from Judie -
and also Wanda, for GG's place
HELLO T-BIRD AND BUDDY XOXO ♥ ♥
Ya Paula is getting cool Go Paula Go Paula
♫♫ Happy Birthday to Yoooou! ♫♫
♫♫ Happy Birthday to Yoooou! ♫♫
♫♫ Happy Birthday Dadster Jim ! ♫♫
♫♫ Happy Birthday to Yoooou! ♫♫
Good to hear that Paula
James and I were observing different apartment buildings here in town.....which ones had open windows (no A/C)
and those with little window units
Oh I WANT to see the baby loon!!Aw, there it is, right behind parent
They really don't have much of a nest, do they!
Good evening!!
Happy birthday, Jim!!
Happy birthday, little loonie!!
Trying to read back. I am hopelessly behind, but only 9 days to go.
Windy on the loon lake.
aWW, BABY LOONEY back under Dad's wing
How did we live without air conditioning? We did not have it in our first house, though we did buy a window unit for the bedroom. It made such strange noises.
We did not have it in our camper, either. And we went to some hot places. I remember being in Salt Lake City when it was 100 degrees. (Though not humid.) I refused to cook dinner in the camper that night. We went out to eat. Did not have a problem convincing hubby. No one would have wanted to heat the place up and then try to sleep there.
Sorry, I meant to type in "good evening" first. Somehow my greeting got lost.
Pretty iridescent colors on the loon this evening.
I do hope Judie is in a cool house now.
Now, I am trying to figure out Thelma and company. Did they go back to their old place?
Oh, now I found the "good evening." Knew I typed it. Now I see I had posted several messages. Man, I gotta get me a break.
Yay, Paula has AC!
Loon call!
Shirley, Tbird and Sharon moved back to Bluefield last weekend.
I knew they moved back, but just wondered if they moved back to the same house.
All systems are looking good for the Shuttle Landing in Florida at 2:35 AM EDT...this from NASA TV
Shirley, as far as I know, they did
It sounds like they had rented it to someone else, Paula.
Lynn, I reposted the Slip and Slide picture and the video. Do not know why you could not see it.
Ruh roh...power outtage here...
Oh no, Paula.
Had your house cooled down?
Beds are made, now to dust the bedrooms really well. Like I said earlier, I just want to sit. Taking a break right now.
Glad you have AC now, Paula. Do not understand. You take them down in the winter? They are window units? Everyone here has central AC. If they have window units they stay there year round.
OH NO PAULA!! Just when you were fianlly getting cool!
Wish we could tell Ma and Pa Loon apart.
Not good, Paula!
Loon call! That is just so cool. Was showing the loon to the boys this weekend. Had to go find Loon recordings for them to hear. Laurel made fun of me. Grrrr! My own daughter!!
1710 customers affected..pretty much the whole town...so much for laundry and trying to cool off the house...glad I just ate
Just your power, Paula, or others, too?
Captain Sully Sullenberger on CBS Nightly News
A few mentioned it earlier and a few missed it and I just found it on the internet.
I see you answered my question already, Paula.
Lolly I have window units...coulndt afford the central when I bought the house 19 years ago...I take them out in the fall and put back in during summer...some people leave theirs in all year and cover them duriing the winter...and no the house isn't cool yet...it was getting there
Sitting outside now...at least its brightter out here
Ok dog wants to play ball...
whoo hoo lucked out, power is back on....at least I got the plants watered and the birds fed!
A generator would be nice about now Paula I hope they restore it soon!!!
I am watching the trial that I dvrd today
My dad in Ky would just cover the unit that they had in the living room with a insulated wooden box and the one in kitchen he would take out
I always was up there in Oct to help winterize the house boy do I hate that not going to Ky
But instead I got to see my BFFs in NC which is nice I love it up there except when it get to cold Brr these old bones don't like the cold and my neck gives me heck in the cold..
HADA thanks for the link I missed it I was doing laundry when it was on and I didn't want to got through the hole thing reverse to find it I was going to go on line later Cool Thanks again
BBL
Oh now I see back on see me wishing helped LOL
So Sorry HODA
typing and trying to watch tv is like texting and driving sometimes LOL
No A/C in my cabin when I bought it. Got a window unit which was only marginally efficient. Lasted four years, I think, before I got central installed....wish now that I had gone ahead and made it a heat pump, too. Can't imagine that any houses are built today without central heat/air.
Yep...all on schedule for Endeavour landing.....can't wait! Think I'll visit the pillows and set the alarm to get up in time.
Shirley, apparently the renter of Sharon's house was on a month-to-month, so they were able to get back into it without having to give him too much notice. Yep---same house!
Oh, luck is on your side, Paula!! Whew!
Last video posted was in March, Lolly! Something is wrong.....:(
Hope you can get it cooled down now, Paula.
It is not even dark here, yet, and I am sitting here wondering if I can go on up to bed.
Good evening.
Was planning to try to catch up but have stopped with the naked lady. I just cannot leave you people alone!
So, hoping today was a good one for all.
Update: got my "do" done, walked through a parking lot where a tree has dropped a gazillion purple berries (inedible, I'm told) which stained sole of both new walking shoes and car mat, Darth and I met with the air conditioner person (owner of company), prepared left-overs, cleaned up dishes, and now sitting here sweating to death.
Need an entire new air conditioning unit and we have decided to upgrade with a new furnace -- makes sense ecologically and financially. That will occur next week.
See that a loon baby has been hatched. Congrats to mom loon.
So, going into a cold shower and then, hopefully to get a little sleep. Awake most of last night from heat.
All-in-all, not a bad day.
Be back in the morning before I have to attend a police faculty meeting.
Nightlight is set for automatic at 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all.
Okay, I am curious. Do any of my other fb friends see the video of the slip and slide? Lynn can not see it. Shirley, Paula, Jo, Lynne...can any of the rest of you see it? I posted it Saturday and shared again this evening. hmmm???
Poor Shirley......the end is in sight! Go to bed.....we understand. (((HUGS)))
Am worrying a bit about Judie....wish she'd check in....
And there she was----just missed her in the space of one refresh!
Judie...tomorrow go visit a friend, one with AC or go to a movie! Do hope you can get comfy tonight and get some sleep.
Judie, that seems totally untenable to have to wait that long! Geesh.....can you rent a protable A/C unit someplace???? I think you should try!
Body shop can't take Shannon's car until JULY 5th! So he is getting new glass put in Th. at a glass place and then they will just have to pop it out to fix roof.
Lynn, I just can not figure it out. Waiting to hear if anyone else can see it. Do not know if it is me...or you. Yikes!
LOLLY nothing on your profile at all I just looked what time did you post it and I'll go down my newsfeed to see if it is there,
or better yet post the link on here and see if we can acess it that way BBL back to the trial
I also didn't get the picture that Sharon posted of the group of you all I only found about it reading the post that Hoda made about it I went on her profile to see it and still can't figure out why I didn't see it Go figure Facebook
Oh maybe there is a copy right thing with it and the facebook cops are blocking it LOL
JudyE---I missed whatever Sharon posted.....when was that?
Okay, Lolly....not me! Hmmmmm.....
Lori put her picture on it I couldn't comment on the blog BLOGGER COP was mean today so I got to comment on it
LOLLY I went back 8 hr nothing the only thing with you is a thing with answering question 57 min ago your answer was NEWSPAPER
Lolly, I can't see it either.
DUH IT was LYNN yesterday 656 cool picture I got cornfused again
Lori, your pics are awesome! I couldn't comment on your blog either, guess they haven't fixed everyone's blogs yet.
Was watching a little TV & eyes started to go...no dwnloading pics tonight!
Sorry to hear Judie & Paula are without AC! Stay in the basement.
Put AC on in car today for first time. Don't use it much--put windows down part way.
May take a panda nap~~but if I don't return, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
Think I'll go outside~~can't nap in here w/boxing or something on at 1000s of decibels!! ☺
Just to clarify - I did get to move back into my parents' house. The man was doing a rent to own and had paid on it for about 7 months. He quit paying in April. He tried to get another job, he said, and didn't get it, so he sent me a text that he guessed he was going to find a place to move to. Come to find out, he was wanting to move to NC anyway, so I shot him back a text saying, okay, when are you moving? With Thelma not doing well, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to head back home. He had made a lot of repairs to the house but there is still a lot to be done - painting, laying flooring, etc.
Do not understand. I have checked all my settings. Everything is set for friends only. You are my friends, right? LOL
OF COURSE WE ARE LOLLY !!
Oh, I can't get it either, oh I forgot, I don't have Facebook !
It will just pop on there in the right place sometime or another, probably...
Ok I'm saying night night
Shower and then bed
God Bless this Nest
and all whom watch it
Healing Prayers for
those who need them
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
maybe it's the heat
Heard about a few more people that are having air conditioner problems today...some have to replace the entire unit
WOOF ! This is not good news to hear about anyone !
When you go to my page you do not see it there, either?
funny Magpie as I was powering down
I don't see it either Lolly....last posts I see are you and the baby, and the kids at school. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Margy...you are a hoot! Thanks for the smile! ♥U
Little Loony is quiet now, but just a little while ago he was making lots of noise.
don't see it on your page, either. Too many pictues to know where to begin by looking in your albums.
Well, I can see it! LOL It is on my home page and on my profile! Really, truly, honest to goodness!!!!
Hopping on here before I start doing face plants onto the keyboard!
Soup Kitchen was really hopping this evening! We had 43 guests...our best turn out! We ran out of Chili (didn't know Gene was making that, in addition to my TEX MEX an BAKED CORN CASSEROLE. I threw some cans of ravioli in a pot with a bit of left over Tex Mex, to replace the Chili, heated up some green beans and corn to replace the baked corn and made another bowl full of fruit salad.
Clothing was, again, quite popular. One lady came in and filled her bag with clothes, grabbed a soda and left, didn't even eat:)
I am so sleepy...must say good nigh now.
SLEEP WELL MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS FOR ALL♥
It get weirder! Just called Laurel. She can see it. Says it is there and says "about an hour ago" under the video and the picture. So, I am not completely crazy! Or is that loony???
Thank you Hoda for the Capt Sullenberger news video, I just watched it
think I am going to get to bed early and get up to see if the shuttle will be able to land on schedule...
history in the making on its way out, in a way...
Thanks Hoda for keeping us tuned up about the schedule ☺
Think I'll go have a quick peek right now...then be back later in a bit
Difficult news about the tour bus with school kids crashing on its way to New York City, Chinatown, from North Carolina. Four fatalities....
Shirley, did this crash occur pretty near to where you live ? I-95? I heard Spottsylvania County mentioned....and Fredericksburg...
Prayers for the victims, and the families
Miserable safety records with the tour bus company, violations, poor driver records,
How do these companies stay in operation ?
Bravo Wanda - -
what a report, and in this heat !
I hope your sleep is golden and very restorative
(( Hugs ♥ ))
While talking with Laurel she could hear the loons on my computer. LOL They have been calling.
Lolly, there are no posts on your page since yesterday......just showing things you commented on.....
Wanda, wow----everyone wanted in out of the heat! Great turn-out!
Might be the time of year to switch to cold meals!!! Sleep tight.
You, too, JudyE.
Surprized that Kay hasn't checked back in....and Hoda, too! And where is our Mema Jo??
Wow! 43 that is fantastic! Way, to go Wanda! Hope your knee is not in too bad of shape this evening.
Thanks Margy...you've been there and you know how it is. Please come again, anytime, and bring James♥♥
Nite~
Lolly, the person that posted the video has to have their permissions set to friends of friends in order for us to view it.
Great turnout Wanda! Bet they came for the AC, too.
Lolly, I do not see a Slip-n-Slide video on FB.
I am going to call it quits and go to bed.
I am having trouble finding some of my summer clothes. There is an outfit I want to wear tomorrow. It is actually a couple of years old. Cannot find it anywhere. So I will wear an outfit that is five or six years old.
I was keeping out-of-season clothes in the closet in what is now Kathryn's room and had to get them out of there. I just do not have enough storage space anymore. Just need to get rid of things so I can find the things I really need. I have not had time to do those things. Another reason I am counting the days.
Thanks, Lolly...we were all so happy to feed and clothe so many. That is our Mission.
Nite to Texas♥
Paula, you are absolutely right...some guests stayed a very long time. We had boo coos to drink and ran out of that too. Quickly made some pitchers of instant lemonade that Margy and James brought when they visited:)
Hope you are doing better, Wanda. Glad it was a good day at the Soup Kitchen.
Good night and God bless.
Sounds like the place was hopping for sure, Wanda ☺
James will be happy to hear about the lemonade, and We Shall Return, that's a Promise ♥
ttfn xoxo
LOL, Lynn...next time, P&J sandwiches;)
Nite, again♥
Nite, Shirley♥
I know how much you all love my Stingbug stories...so here is something new to report.
Since it got REALLY hot over the last couple of days, there have been VERY FEW of them. So it leads me to wonder....is the extreme heat killling them? Are they frying in the walls?
Bless you Wanda for offering such a good, cool place for those in need!
How is your knee????? And how is GG holding up in the heat?
Okay, that might be it. Laurel did the picture and the video, I just shared. She is going to change it and I am going to repost it. Just a fun video of the boys, no big deal, but just curious if that is it!
I am still here and about - did
go to Walmart and was mainly watching the Loons & on the emails.
Soup kitchen hit an all record high
Great News Wanda/Gene how you had
to compromise and come up with all new meal items!
LOL, Wanda----I was thinking more along the lines of egg salad and tuna sandwiches with crisp lettuce and maters, and some jello salad or green salad, and watermelon!!!
Bet they would all love that coolth!
Ok...dern it all! I have reposted the video and a picture. Please see if you can see it. LOL
Lynee, you can always hope they are frying!
Lolly, can you copy and paste that video onto your blog for ur non-FB'ers?
Howdy Jo
I was thinking maybe, Tuesday, Alexis, Meatballs, but not today eh?
Neato about baby Loonie! Thanks again for keeping us on the Alert for that Today with your late night post last night!
Hedgie
Sharon made a post at 3:15-something or other and it went on the OLD THREAD ! You asked about it...
Gee, Lynn. You are a great menu planner for the soup kitchen. Sounds yummy!
all this food talk isn't helping me....LOL!
Day one of new and improved eating went very well. I am doing the Six Week Body Makeover. I was doing that a few months before I started dating Steve, and lost 30lbs! You figure out your metablolism type and get guidlines on what the best foods are to eat, how often to eat, portions, etc. Really easy. In fact, I am to eat 5 small meals a day, and could only eat 4 today. Not hungry enough! No processed food at all. Just plain healthy eating. And they give you a lot of recipes too, although I'm not that fancy!
Lyne
Your avatar is spectacular!
Hope the stinkbugs are shriveling from the heat
You all have Stinkbugs? I have Ear-Wigs! Yuck I cannot stand them!
have squished about ten this evening - inside the roost here :(
Stinkbugs I transport outside, earwigs, I snap 'em up in some kleenex if I can catch them, they're fast !
WHERE IS THE BABY LOON???? Parents just off nest, and I only saw one unhatched egg and one broken one.
Hmmm, the case of the missing outfit of Shirley's, sounds like a good challenge for Judie!
I think, maybe...Shirley had to share hangers and something is overtop of what she is looking for
I SEE A SPLIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE !
OMG Loons are making lots of calls. Mama left the nest and little loony followed her into the water. She jumped off so quick that little loony was upside down. Too funny. One adult is back, rolled the egg, but little Loony is still out on the water. I do not like that!
Oh Margy, you shouldn't put them outside! They'll breed and that's a bad thing. And eat crops! I flush them.
