STEVE, thanks for the nice new thread ! I've put out the call.
Just doing a quick check to see if my puter problems have been resolved. Looks like it.
LORI, love the Val n' Tino. Seth does use the computer sometimes, but hadn't since Sat. night. I always delete cookies, etc. once he goes home. He goes to so many sites and I know that's how some glitches can occur.
I'm off for a haircut and then back home to the A/C ASAP ! BBL
KAY - if you're lurking I hope you have your computer back together. I asked earlier about Seth using it because I've seen my nephews get on my Mom's computer and tweak it the way they like it to work and they just figure you'll like it better their way. Of course, they're playing mega memory/graphics video games and you just want to blog and go to Sporkle! I think. You could really be a drag racing, eagle loving granny in disguise! Kidding. ♥u
Lori thanks those pictures are great. The new enclosure should really be better for them. I just love how they care for those eaglets and Buddy. Any animal taken into there is in "specal hands". Thank you from me/us to the Rescue!!! ( :
Yeah, Sharon, keep those Eagle Eyes up and running and well-tuned !!
Have a good day, Dana... hope your Mom is doing well, with no more neighborhood thievery !
Kay - I use C-Cleaner every day, (thanks to Jo's Ed...) and other clean-out things, clean up the C-disk from time to time, and defragment...have to keep this old bag o'bones computer going until I get a windfall in my paycheck like JudyE did !!
I read that the Wildlife Center of Virginia has received over $50,000 in donations since they took over the raising of the NBG triplets. That is wonderful, they need and deserve that money!
WANDA - WCV just got 210 thousand from a Chase/Facebook promotion.
NBG got 110 thousand. They each got 10 grand for winning the "first round" then going onto the next round they both placed in the top 10 with the number of people who "liked" them on FB.
time to get out of my leopard-print pajama bottoms and get a move on...not sure where to start but there are lots of possibilities here....
Best wishes for a Good Day, everyone, Hello to Everyone...visible and not visible here Hope everyone is doing OK Prayers for any aches and pains, ailments, and troubles
Lynn: Hope Liesl little head-banger didn't do any harm....
I had a great group of kids this year. I actually sent out an email to all praising the children, how quickly they learned and how attentive there are, just too much to write on individual report cards, but it is always funny when we (my aide and I) are trying to come up with fitting comments.
My room is just about finished. I think I am going to feel like I don't know what to do with all my time!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO OUR JUDIE AND FRANK...love that couple!♥♥
Judie didn't tell us why Darth is getting the honor of LORD FAIRFAX, but, I suspect that it's for the very good care that he extended to Judie while she recovered from her broken ankle;)
my tomato plants....finally a second little teeny tiny tomato...lots of yellow blooms, but things seem stalled out... have not seen any slugs yet, but I think something is getting into the blooms !!
Lori, that is wonderful news! I did vote or Like for them, but didn't know they had won any money. They do wonderful work there and are worthy of that $$ award!
Wanda have not seen anything on them, the tomatoes, but have seen earwigs here and there in some of the dirt do have marigolds planted near, hear they they are good companion plants for tomatoes....
pretty overcast here, part of WV, Morgantown and those areas, about to get some pretty serious weather... we have some Momsters out that way.... hope it won't be too bad well, I have to head out, going to look for butterfly weed.... and take care of some boring chores
Megan, I hope your Vincent is okay wherever it is. How's the market business these days?
Lynn, I really think I need to report you to PITA. Poor Liesl. Bet she was surprised. Of course, now if she misbehaves in the slightest, she has an excuse - you dropped her on her head when she was still a baby. Got plans for the grands this summer?
Lori, thanks for the arthritis tip. May give it a try. Aching joints are so out of control.
Kay, glad your computer is back to work for you. Get your "do" did real pretty.
Dana, enjoy the birthstone ring. Nice way to remember, isn't it?
Sharon, glad you're doing better with the vision.
Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey. Sure hope they have a special day today.
Okay, had to post or the blogger cop would get me.
Wanda, tell Father Capt. Gene he has no competition. He's still our Capt.
Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes. Some days it seems like more than 28 years but sometimes it seems like a lot fewer years.
Lord Fairfax received the nomination for his volunteer activities in the community for the past 20 years. He is head of the oldest continuously operating neighborhood watch in the U.S., he has raised thousands of $ for Childrens Hospital in D.C., he serves as a FFax County Park Authority Board member, he volunteers at the Easter Egg Hunt, the Mason District festival, and the summer concert series 3 nights each week in the summer. We'd be rich if he got paid!
So, with all that, I sure wish he would do more volunteering around the house but then I'm selfish. It's like being married to a plumber who has leaking pipes at his own house. lol
Taking it easy today. Since we have to go to the buffet tonight, I don't want to have to clean myself up (or down) again. Anniversary present: I don't have to cook.
Also, AC/new furnace are scheduled for tomorrow. Yippee!
Enough about personal stuff.
I'm sorry I've forgotten to mention all the important activities for so many of you. Short attention span.
LOL, Judie, we were both typing about Darth at the same time! Ooops on me!! Darth deserves the accolades!! Give him our congrats again! And, of course, we dstill remember how well he kept us informed of your recovery!!!
Great Judie !! On all accounts... Yah, I was married to a carpenter for awhile...didn't get much carpentering done at our place either ! But I spent a lot of years with a Firefighter/EMT - always felt very protected on that front !!
Oh heck, think I'll just keep the leopard print pj bottoms and go out like that! I'll fit right in around here....
No, I won't embarass my Momsters friends like that ☺
but by dragging my feet, I just got a nice call from my sister in Massachusetts...☺
Jack and I just finished our "walking" and I am covered in sweat!! Need to cool off before I head outdoors. I see some flowers that missed getting watered this morn and their heads are drooping.
Lynn, I am with you on the marshmallows. Last year or so Kraft came out with caramel swirled through marshmallows. Thought the boys would love them and ended up throwing them out. Just give them plain marshmallows. However, they do no get marshmallows except when we are roasting them in a fire.
Ditto that movin' Jim ! Every day we feel that way.....
Good to see you, realize you have your "old" moniker back, or at least, part of it! someone, I think JudyE or maybe another dear Momster, said...your moniker fits...you move in and out like a butterfly here sometimes, always a TREAT to see you here Both Finland Nests have two chicks, and one unhatched yet each...waiting on the Water Nest Ospreys to start hatching
Lolly - - would send you some cool weather and rain but we don't have it to send that way...yet....
Judie: You speak well of Darth...he sure was a Gem to us, when you were in the early stages of injury and recovery...and anytime thereafter, he is Always Welcome Here
Love to you both... okay, keys and phone in hand out the door.... xoxoxo
I broke a tooth, the filling remained in tact and I will only need to have a crown put on. The whole tooth is cracked, but roots are good. Yesterday he just checked it and smoothed the roughness, tomorrow I go in for a temporary crown, then I guess I get the permanent one in a couple of weeks.
at least for awhile Now we shall congregate, sad and disappointed once again about the cam
found butterfly weed Leaves, but no flowers yet....this time last year I was taking pictures of the flowers ! very different sprouting season this year
I was home when new thread was up and didn't notice it OOPs now to get to reading I wonder if we had a visit I guess I will find out as I read alone see you in a little bit
Hi, Gang, Dropping in to say hello, and to wish JUDIE & DARTH/FRANK a HAPPY 28TH ANNIVERSARY!!! Congrats to Darth, too, for his Lord Fairfax honors!
HAPPY 14TH ANNIVERSARY TO JOEY & LAUREL!!
Well, I've managed to get some of the housework done around here, and got the patio swept and the "land mines" cleaned up for the gardeners. Now must stay "on task" with the transcription. What just happened to the live cam??!! Checked it again, and there is no picture! Hope the ants aren't back!
Lynn, sorry to hear that Liesl took a tumble. Bet she's OK, though. I'm sure she's a tough little rascal. :o]
WANDA Yep you are right that was Lakeland My daughter had lived over there at the time and was unable to go home that night they had the I4 blocked where he was hidden at I think he was shot over 50 or more times That Sheriff should run for office he is the bomb
Hedgie, Miracle on the Hudson is supposed to come through here tomorrow. I am wondering if they will fit through the toll booths on the turnpike and then through the tunnels??
Thanks JO....for sending that message along to NCTC - wow, bet they are getting frustrated also !!! and I bet they have literally had their FILL of ANTS !!
Capt. Father Gene said, "praise the 'Lord' Fairfax...I will step aside for him anytime, he is my good friend!" Really impressed with his volunteer work in so many capacities. Volunteering...community service, is one of the most thoughtful, and important things that you can do for others and yourself!
Happy anniversary to Judie and Lord Fairfax and Laurel & joey.
See the cam is down AGAIN! Those darn ants. NCTC must feel as frustrated as us (or is it 'we'?).
Brain is a little foggy lately. Fell Saturday and really messed up my knees, shoulder and back. I was trying to step onto the porch and went "boom." Vicodin is working on the brain but not the bod too much. ☺
Max, daddy and mom were here overnight Saturday. He's such a "ham" but you can tell he goes to school and is around other children. He's picked up some bad traits that mom has to harness before next fall.
Jim & I and got our eyes examined and new glasses. I can finally read in comfort. Broke mine and had to use an older pair for quite a while. Caused a few headaches, but am fine now.
Shirley, 'your' time is getting closer and then you won't have to listen for that school bell. Yipee!!
Have to check back to see what happened to Liesl. bbl
Hi Sharon - The miracle on the Hudson's route has got to be the most checked out as far as those things and even the curves and loops! Didn't catch it as it went through MD - Hope you could see it coming through! Saw it on TV News - Humongous
EagleCam is back up. We're still adjusting the audio volume. It'll probably be a couple of days before we can rely on the feed being stable. So, please be patient if it goes down again. Thank you."
The above is post 36 in Camera Problems Thread at the OC site. It was posted yesterday June the 6th in the evening.
I thought to post it here, they were expecting it to not be stable for a few days.
oh boo hoo! I was ready to see some eagles! I can't believe it's down again. I want to see them a couple of days in a row before I drive over. Is there a gathering coming up? Did I read that somewhere?
Shar---I sure don't see how they can fit! I know they were going over on-off ramps rather than under the bridges.....but yeah, there are bridges without ramps on 81, so......a real circuitous route I guess! Maybe you can see them!
PA Nana I am so sorry to here that you fell and got some boo-boos. I am sure they hurt! You were trying to step up and then Donna Cox, our Momster, fell stepping down! I don't want to know who #3 is - hopefully Liesl will fill that spot as she banged her head!
MEGAN Wow that is toooo cool that the vulture let you get that close pretty soon he may eat out of your hands wouldn't that be exciting Sounds like the vulture eat better that me Can I come and sit on your rock too? I prefer mine cooked if that's ok LOL
HEDGIE AHHH poor baby feel and hope Liesl is ok. ***giving you that WHY DID YOU DO THAT LOOK HUH too cute (spell check doesn't recognize Liesl name so I had to add to my dictionary pretty cool that we can do that)
HODA looks like someone put you in charge and forgot to tell you HUH giving you the delete trash can of us all THEN when you told us they took it away YA THINK Ok who is messing with Hoda today you better stop it or someone will get the eagle cane out and knock more knots on your head than you can rub. (that was my DAD favorite saying) HA HA
Just got to the part Vincent is a good name for the vulture VV for short
DANA cute story of the little boy and the making a basket I love the enthusiasm that children get when they accomplish a task. We taught Jordyn to put her hand up and yell I did it soooo cute
MAGPIE DOLLAR GENERAL and Dollar Tree also have cheap cards 2 for 1.00 and gift bags and DT are 1.00 all sizes of gift bags Walmart has a few 50 and 99 card but the selection is very few they tried to compete I still go there I go in those stores and come out with lots of stuff Shut reading glass 1.00 ME CHEAP or frugal
KAY What is the memory in your computer How many GB do you have free in your C drive. I use to have a older computer my sister gave me and it was always telling my my drives were almost full it only was a 2GB really small memory that is why I got this one It was not meant to have pictures in it like I did. This puter I bought in 2007 the C Drive has 288GB and the D drive is 9.99 right now I have 32,975 pictures in this one so far. I have a Dell Inspiron 531 I bought on a Black Friday with my 20%off Christmas bonus
WOW that is too cool about the donation rolling in for the NBG triplets and others there that they tend to I love the new enclosures WANDA love your DAD picture
Still got more reading to do sending this book before it burst out of it binding LOL Gonna take a quick neck break and have a glass of tea then finish reading see that why I want to get a cheap lap top but my daughter thinks it will still bother my neck
Lori I have a feeling it is in a frozen mode! Maybe not - I know it is keeping correct date/time. I'd like to see something new in it when it refreshes.......
JUDIE - Lord Darth Frank sounds like an amazing man. WANDA was right that community service is so admirable. I was very excited to read that the Lord raises funds for Children's Nat'l Medical Center! I'm doing an interview with them tomorrow that will air this weekend. And, we had a trivia question this morning that no one could answer so we've donated the American Girl Doll prize (kahani or something like that) to Children's! What a wonderful place it is. Please tell Lord Darth Frank thank you for all he does. He went from unknown to hero in my world today.
Oh, Diann----so sorry about your fall.....please feel better fast AND be careful! Was it the fixed shoulder you hurt?? How old os Max now? 3?? That's about the normal time to pick up other kids bad habits. :(
ALmost forgot.....Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey today, too!
Oh - LOLLY - please pass on a Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey. Hope they know they're lucky to have YOU! Getting too hot for plants here, too. And dang mosquitos bite the dodo out of me especially in the evening.
Does anyone think that Listerine works for keeping mosquitos away? Sure would like to find something that isn't made by Dow/Monsanto Chemicals to use.
Before I went to town. I left the house reached the car unlocked it. Started driving and hear this terrible noise. Stop got out and checked "a flat tire". I did make it very slowly to Sheetz (Judie ( :) and put air in it. I got to Mom's and told her she needed to drive her car. Following me until I good till if there was a leak. Finally I figured it was. Got it to Rogers and left it there and went to places with Mom. Roger's found a small nail in the tire.
Thank the Lord the tire didn't blow on I-81 that it all happened at the house. PRAISES IN ORDER !!! THANK YOU LORD FOR TAKING CARE OF ME !!
Mom was a lot of help....she say's don't thank me. I told her yes I will and she has to accept it. She wanted to know why. I told her, "Because you & Dad raised me like that". lol
Diann prayers for the soreness from your fall. Thank God you didn't break anything. I know it still has to hurt.
Megan I hope your vulture is ok. Has it been back?
I'm sure the news will be showing a lot about the Hudson traveling.
Yes Judie enjoy your time out tonight with Darth. Darth you have really been "hiding things from us". That you kind of guy you are. Don't talk about it..DO IT !!! You are to be commended for all the things you have been involved in. Which of course is why they are doing that for you tonight ( :
Kudos to Lord Fairfax Quite an accomplishment You are one lucky woman. He's a keeper Huh!I heard he hooked up with someone the blog a while back LOL It was when I was blocked from the blog I can't remember who said it I just remember laughing by butt off
I too was married to a carpenter who never did anything I built my daughter a barbie doll house when she was little I installed every ceiling fan in the house there and everywhere I move too So funny Angie told me that he dad bought a ceiling fan over a year ago and it is still sitting in his living room (using as a coffee table)for real) When Angie was over there a couple of months ago she said hey dad do you want me to see if Mom would install your fans I just think that is tooo funny and to this day they aren't installed . Odd that a couple of months ago I messed up my garbage disposal something was stuck and I used a handle to try to free what was stuck somehow I popped the thing out of the sink and it was just hanging there Well I called Angie to see if she knew someone that knew how to fix it and she said something to her dad in passing and he came over with my son Tommy and he ended up fixing it Tommy couldn't understand what he wanted done so Tom just laid down on the floor and fixed it I was shocked! and thankful If anything needed done he would alawys send a crew over to do it from the job site.
MAGPIE I can't believe how many peep do shop in their pj. Crude people We get all types I love the people of walmart site, some of those picture are just disgusting
Are you all keeping up with the trial???? I am watching it right now and every night I love it that it is reruns season I have a lot of stuff still on the DVR but it can wait LOLLY do you live in a rural area to go walking in or woods ???
I guess you could say I live in a house complex or subdivision I guess that what it called my neighbors I say to my right the house is 100 feet she has too plots of property I live on the curb My property is like a piece of pie 45.5 across front yard 110.2 across back yard one side is 90 and the other is 122.6 there is another house next to me that is almost the same dimensions but his is only 84 across back yard really odd looking on the plat map Square footage is 1247 I live in HARMONY Heights Ilike the name So when I go walking I have sidewalks and lots of house as scenery not good scenery to look at we have a Pinellas Trail that goes all over the county all the way south and over to Tampa hundreds of miles of trail But I don't like to go by myself so I don't do much walking here I love going walking when I visit June love the woods she lives is so nice . It sound like most of you live in the woods I would love to live in the woods but that will never happen to the best of my knowledge
MOVIN was here for more than a split second YEAH JIM good to hear from you
I'm gaining speed on the blog up to when I got home only a little more to go need another neck break
Lori I have used Avon Skin-So-Soft(oil-type spray) for years (and there are some Avon towelettes that are also nice) for trying to keep bugs at bay, seems to work pretty well and I am very lavish about putting it all over I also use Off DeepWoods or Cutters spryaed on my bibs sometimes to try to ward off ticks also, there are some natural products which include rosemary and other things that are nice, and good-smelling! I saturate a big piece of papertowel, put it in a baggie, and put that in my pocket for refreshing the treatment when I am out in the woods... Hope something works well for you. If I get a bite, I rub it as soon afterwards as possible with rubbing alcohol also
I sat and read the newspapers from the last two weeks, did see that there WERE some notices in the paper about the God Bless America motorcycle ride in our area last Sunday.... wish I had read all that Before the event and shared it here with our local folks :( otherwise out of all the I read, I have saved one article about Dame's Rockets aka James Rockets ☺
and don't forget: Water Balloons, DanaMo and fill up spray bottles with very cold water, make that ice water! that's how I plan to get through the summer, plus a few trips to some swimming pools might try to splash in the creek at Swinging Bridge with James sometime or another also
hungry and need a shower see you folks later on daggone no Eagles to watch for, and had hoped to SEE :( does not seem to me that the view is progressing with the hour I could be wrong but those rainbow lines are never a good sign ttfn xo
LORI Sitting here LMBO I tell you its the reading glass I wear Just got to that part almost to the end I don't think I can do it HA HA I think I can I think I can see you at bed time at this rate LOL
Thanks MARGY! I just came in from watering and have about 20 bite/welts that I've already sprayed with Benadryl anti-itch stuff and they're still driving me crazy. Totally forgot about Skin-So-Soft from Avon. It's also good for keeping gnats off horses ears when you're out trail riding. Scratch. Scratch. Scratch. Taking a shower and off to bed.
KAY - I missed you tonight, but sure hope you had company and got your deck done. Keep that do pretty. I want to see it. :)
DANA WV - so glad you're safe. Flat tires are a pain! Glad you have your Mom.
Diann, sorry about your fall. I hope you feel better very soon.
Had a nice dinner at Chili's with my friends . . . old timers from way back--Melanie, Priscilla, and Diane. We have been working together for many years. We were at the middle school together, then moved to the high school. Diane later became a librarian and is now at an elementary school in the county. It was great to see her again.
Melanie gave me a pretty charm bracelet with an owl, a letter "S," the school colors and a cat on it.
DanaWV and Margy....DanaMo has a POOL!!!!! I bet they spend a lot of time in it!! Wish I still had one. DId I ever tell you that "he" filled in "our" pool a few years ago? ARGH! Too bad it wasn't portable!! But they are PIA's when you live in the woods----much more upkeep involved.
DanaWV, glad you caught that flat! And good that your Mom still drives! Does Roger still have a SharPei in the office?
Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey today, too! DANA so glad your safe and sound Tire blow out I hear are no fun Knock on wood I've been lucky I've had flats before leaving but no blow outs Great you complimenting your mom to your mom Some times people forget where they came from but not this group I see clearly My daughter has said to me thanks for being so strict on her once. Jordyn is really a polite 3yr old she even thanks us when we change her butt She is only pee potty trained so we still use pull ups Angie just laughs and says that just my job and Jordyn will laugh at that She says bless you when some one sneezes Oh and if you forget to say your welcome she will look at you funny and say thank you again DIANN hope you feel back to normal soon a fall is bad its the landing that sucks.
So glad the Swinging Bridge was mentioned I keep forgetting to ask about it Where is it and does anyone have pictures of it I would love to see what you all are referring to
I also think the camera is Kaput
No early bird here no camera I will be sleeping in I love my sleep
Shirley I have never eaten there One day I should I guess
I HAVE READ EVER COMMENT
I still plan on going on vacation in Oct to see June and Terry do you think there is a way that someone could go to the nest at that time Just a thought Haven't confirmed a date yet being the open house was cancelled BUMMER BIG TIME
OK now I need to get a shower I'm sorry I wrote two books before but I just typed right along with reading easier that way CRS spell happen quite often now HA BBL
Lori I think your bug bites have gone to your brain - How are we going to get Hoda over here? Maybe JudyE will tell us when her vacation is planned...Lolly isn't planning to be on the east coast this year... but Kay would come!
I am only joking with you Lori as I think you were only joking with me - weren't you! lol
JudyE Swinging Bridge is in a rural area here, more or less in "Hedgesville" but more specifically, Jones Spring, Berkeley County,WV Years ago there was a one lane wooden low water bridge...that has been replaced by a fancier, higher elevation but still one lane concrete bridge it spans across Back Creek. Swinging Bridging itself, was a little suspension foot bridge that also spanned the creek it fell prey to vandalism back in the late 60's - - it's no longer there Gene and Wanda have connections to the property from years ago and can add to this It sits on Swinging Bridge Road, near the intersection of Calvary Hill Rd, Hedgesville, WV, so maybe you can google it and see some of the it from "the air" sorry it took me so long to answer!
Having a lot of trouble with my lower back today.....can't seem to get comfortable no matter how I sit. Ibuprofen not doing the trick.....may fall asleep if I take a muscle relaxant, but guess that's ok---Liesl just went to bed. So if I disappear, you'll know why! No frosted alerts needed! Time for Deadliest Catch...will probably BBL!
That hot hot shower has done me in.. Well I am leaving for the evening Eye lids getting dropper more than normal See you at the SSCC but at 6 no camera I'm sleeping in as if that in. I was a good girl getting up at 5 today. Good Night one and all
God Bless this Nest and all whom watch it Healing thoughts for those in need
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
Evening Everyone in sightless Eagleland! Cam off some more? Thought I better check in as I feel a Panda nap approaching!!Want to see a TV show later.
Congrats to Judie, Darth, Laurel & Joey! Diann, stop those tumbles!! I've taken a couple--knee gives out. X-rays look great, so there's nothing they can fix! I have to wear elastic brace. DUH Got my hair cut tonight at a barber shop! They have a couple ladies who specialize. Not exactly what I wanted, but MUCH cooler. My regular lady is way down the road.
If I don't get back here later, to all those hitting the hay, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
too funny Loretta, anytime I take James to the barber, I ask the barbers if I can go next...James always protests...but he knows I am kidding just the same anyway - just might do it one of these days though
bath time here will make it back to say an early Good Night in a little while xoxo ♥
Graded two more research papers. I think there are eight to go.
Will be administering the SOL retakes tomorrow. I think I'll have five or six students. Not too bad. I just hope they pass. The ones whose scores are close to passing get another chance, and this is it.
Hope the buffet was good, Judie.
Can't wait to see you in that barber's chair, Margy.
Oh, and you actually did it, Loretta.
Sorry about the back pain, Lynn.
Nest visit?? Sounds great!
Good night to everyone out there. My poor brain in plumb wore out. I will check in tomorrow.
Well the weather is so awful the Dragon Boat Paddling was cancelled for this evening...white caps on the water from the wind and rain while we did our exercises...so it goes...came back and had a bowl of ice cream instead, after all it is June. We never got higher than 56 Degrees F and twice we had thunder and Lightning and the rain downpours were so strong some streets were saturated...I got caught walking in one of them on my way to yoga class, but managed OK with a rain coat and an umbrella. Much of the same for the week is the forcast...sorry if I am talking too much about the weather, I wished I had some of your warm dry weather and smiled as the thought crossed my mind several times to day of your sending me some of your weather wishes from yesterday.
Correction on Swinging Bridge!!! It was still passable (barely) in the 70's! My mom and I walked across it!! Heavily overgrown on ends, too! Not much traffic!
hedgie/Lynn sorry you have back trouble, take care of yourself and no heavy lifting for a while...Blogger cop is doing strange things today...I laughed about your comment earlier about my being given the delete power!!! Not a responsibility I wanted.
The White Rock cam came up for me this evening and the chicks are growing up really well...I am glad to see them. I have not been able to access the cam of late...
Hoda....I am waiting for you to send rain and cooler temps to me. I worked outside quite a bit today but gave up around 3. High was 97 but, thank goodness, low humidity. Went back outside after supper. 87 felt okay to work. Going to mow and do some more work tomorrow.
Judy...we live in a incorporated area in the country....called Briaroaks. Houses are on mostly 1 or 2 acres, but some have 4 or so acres. We have walked outside on the street but it is just too hot to walk now. There are lots of oak trees in our area, but it is not what one would called "woods". We "walk" indoors with an exercise DVD.
LORI, yes the kids returned, finishing off the deck cleaning, washing down the fencing, cleaning the windows across the back and sweeping my garage. What great kids, my hat is off to whoever raised them !☺ Seth helped by clearing the table following our Mexican dinner and by taking trash to the dumpster. Then he and I watched Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune while his parents worked. They took Malcolm to the dog park before dinner, so he was pooped and quite the laid back dog. The "do" is just the same. I started wearing it very short a few years ago and it doesn't allow for a lot of change. Just so easy for me to maintain.
MARGY, good practice to take care of the computer the way you do. I never had a problem with cookies and browsing history until I hooked up with this blog. The Norton anti-virus cleared them out routinely, but the blog has some strange sensitivity I don't understand.
JUDYE, I don't know all the technical stuff about the puter, but my guru says I have oodles of available space. I do keep junk cleaned out and defragment when needed.
SHIRLEY, so nice to have your friends honor you with lunch. The bracelet sounds lovely. Hope you'll get together with good friends frequently in retirement. I only have a few old friends here in Columbus, from the good ol' 60's and 70's, and we get together for lunch about six times a year. They are able to winter in Florida, so are away for several months each year. All other friends from that era have either died or moved to warmer climes. Have some nice new friends who also work at the Food Pantry as well as terrific neighbors. Enjoying retirement soooo much ! Hope you will, too.
HODA, too bad about the crummy weather. Hope the dragon boat racing will be possible soon. I want to hear that you've spotted an eagle out there !
Bummer about the cam. Not setting an alarm, but will probably "see" my dear Early Bird Buds in the morning.
Prayers for Diann and Donna---horrible to hear about those painful falls. Thinking of LYNN with her aches and JO with the breathing difficulties. Will ask the Lord to bless all Momsters and Dadsters !
Good Night to all closing their eyes My entire computer programs are slow this evening! Thinking I am going to give up and just sit and relax awhile. I think I have a few more pages to read in my Birds & Blooms.
Goodnight Mema Jo and all who have signed off. God Bless and sweet dreams...
Lolly I would love to send you some cooler weather...it drops to the mid forties at night!!! Eighties would be good for the day time temperatures...I read about your plants and how you make the rounds to water them...
The White Rock nest is way too small for those growing chicks and their parents, one of the eaglets sleeps with its head hanging out of the nest!!! looks so odd!!!
I got MAD today. While working in the yard I found two new armadillos holes. One near the patio and the other behind the AC and both going under the house foundation. Grrrrrr! I filled in one with water and dirt and put bricks on top. The other Jack and I shoveled in dirt and laid concrete edging on top. Of course, if they were in them they will dig out and dig holes some other place. They have not started tearing up the lawn but have been digging in the mulch in the garden. When they start digging in the lawn Jack will go hunting!
Hoda, our normal temp for this time of year is upper 80's. Can deal with that, but this close to 100 is scary. Really hate to think what July and August will be like.
Ok Lynn I "stand" corrected...I just remember dodging the holes in the wooden walk boards in the early 70's to maybe I backed up the damage report a few years too many regarding Swinging Bridge
I am wondering, could you have maybe strained or pulled something when you tried not to let Liesl fall early this morning? Sorry to hear of your discomfort xo ♥
awsome folk music show on WNPB station, had to miss some of while I was taking my loooong bath Kingston Trio, Limeliters, Highwaymen, all the good Hootenanny people
Why the schedule switch for Carolyn Lynn...due to a vacation or an illness?
Three years ago, my First Official Momsters Nest Visit to the Sycamore Palace....and there was one Dadster....Captain Father Gene! It was a Saturday in June 2008 Met a Whole Bunch of Neat People that day !! ☺
LOL, Hoda...had a dog once who always slept with her head hanging out of the bed! Guess birds and dogs and kids can get comfortable so easily!!
Diann, Liesl jumped out of my arm onto the deck.....kind of landed on her head! But she's fine! Sorry it was your repaired shoulder you hurt....like Paula said: NO falling allowed! We have too many momsters doing that!
took a walk with the dogs and heard a Barred Owl! First time in a LONG time! It was kinda far off...
LYNN....oh geez, I hope you can get comfy enough to get some good sleep tonight.
Hoda, sorry your weather is so crappy....
Margy! OMG....how short is your hair now? Wish I had known you were going to get a cut...there is this organization called Locks of Love...they take hair and make wigs for people with cancer!
Jo, I am waiting a week or so as well to check out the new Wegmans....lots of cars in the lot and cars going in and out!
Hoda, we really need to trade a couple of weather days...I hate to say it, but we do need rain! And to think of the complaining we were doing just a couple of weeks ago! Hope your weather brightens up soon! Sorry your dragon boat practice was cancelled!
Oh MY!!! I ran over an armadillo once when I was driving in OKC...scared the you know what out of me!!!It came out of no where and I could not avoid it...Cried for days afterwards because I was sure I killed it...OH MY!!!
Oh my hair is not too short, it was Loretta that might have gotten a shorter cut, Lynne... mine is about down to my shoulders... did get it clipped pretty short a few months ago...
have often thought of the Locks of Love program, would love to do that...and will probably do so, sometime....♥
This summer is starting out like the one 2 years ago here that was so hot and humid.
Noticed, too, that there are WAY fewer Lightning Bugs this year. Last year, I had never seen so many! Even people who aren't "nature" geeks were noticing!
Margy...the Nugster was on a roll tonight...played ball in the yard, then he played with his ball inside...then he got a couple of nice belly rubs and his ears cleaned. He had his last snack for tonight, and I think he's ready to hit the sack...me too!
I've got the rest of the lawn mowed and flowers watered tonight, and have been working on getting stuff together to take to the beach...John and Ajay had given me a canister set some years ago that has lighthouses on them....was using them for spare change since I already had a set, so I got them all washed up to take to the beach.
Think I'm gonna hit the hay early tonight, have lots to do at work tomorrow.
Shirley, glad you enjoyed your dinner out...how many days now?
Gnite to those who have hit the hay and those heading there.
Hi, Gang! Dropping back in to say goodnight before I have a chance to do a face plant on my keyboard. Have been busy doing transcription today, so my brain is more tired than the rest of me tonight.
Diann, I'm SO sorry to hear about your fall! Prayers that you will feel much better very, VERY soon!
Still praying for Mauley Donna, too. Have we heard a doctor's report from her yet?
Lynn, sorry to hear that your back is hurting. Do you think you might have twisted it trying to hang onto Liesl? Glad to hear that she is fine, by the way. :o]
Shirley, sounds like you had a wonderful time with your friends today! The bracelet sounds beautiful! BTW, how is George doing? Please give him a scratch behind the ears for me.
Oh, no, Lolly! Don't tell me the armadillos are back again! Sure hope they don't cause too much damage! Hope it doesn't get too hot for you this summer, either. I'm concerned for our kids too. They're in Aubrey, and one GD is in Dallas. Our daughter, Jen, LOVES hot weather, but the rest of them aren't particularly fond of it!
Steven Chase Looks like there could be a good aurora show in all of New England tonight due to a big solar flare. could be all the way down to NoVA as well...
Hey there Energizer Bunny Andy! work work work....but I know you DO play sometimes, Emma makes you do it! How is Ken? His Knee? We LOVE your bird reports by the way !
I suggested pretty much the same thing to Hedgie about her back...we are on the same track thinking that... Sure Hope Back All Better Wednesday Lynn... and all your boo-boo'ed parts too Diann ♥
Hello everyone :) Just thought I'd pop my head in for a minute.
I will be visiting my sister in Washington state next week, from the 13th-21st; we'll be making a side trip during the later part to Idaho, where our grandmother and other relatives live.
Margy, Caro didn't say why the change. Love the hootenanny music! ALERT: 3 hrs. of Bear shows from Dr. Lynn tomorrow night on National Geographic Wild station! I will tape it on VCR for any who can't get it, have a VCR and want to see it. Tape can make the rounds!
well we DO make a little more money on the evening and midnight shifts Lynn, I forgot about that until just a little while ago, kind of a nice side-benefit
I saw them here twice! AMAZING!!!!! and SO very rare this far south. Not nearly as good a show as up in the far north, but WOW, what a beautiful sight! It was all over the news because people were calling the local stations to find out what that was making the sky turn colors! Guess that's been about 8 or 9 years ago.....
Hello there Birdie! You will be practically within shouting distance when you are in Washington... hope the weather will be nice for your trip Good To See You !!
Really don't know about my back, Margy....Liesl incident was too fast I think for me to even react. Maybe just sat still for too long during webpage lessons! Not used to that!!
Oh, definitely, the bridge was damaged when we walked on it (missing boards) but it was still relatively safe at that time.
Hoda, google Synchronized Lightning Bugs of the Smoky Mountains....you'll find some videos and info. It's incredible!!! People plan camping trips for this time of year to see the show! And it's on my Bucket List!
My sister lives in Moses Lake, and our grandmother in St Maries (ID). I've never been to Washington before. This is a big trip for me, not just for that.
Only a few of you may recall that I only found my sister last year (she was adopted out at birth), and we met in person for the first time in January. I'll be meeting her daughters and husband (and maybe her son, too, if he comes in from Spokane) for the first time. When we go to Idaho, we'll both be meeting our grandmother and one of our uncles for the first time; she will also be meeting another uncle and our aunt for the first time, I met them both when I was 7.
Magpie, I remember the auroras being visible here in Arizona about ten years ago, my mother had just moved here and called me. She had seen them growing up in Idaho, and was amazed to see it this far south.
Lynn, sorry to hear about your back. Does Vicodin keep you awake like it does to me?
Made an appointment with my "pain" doc for another injection. Can't lift the left leg which is why I stumbled and fell 'up' on the porch.
My baby sis also visited this weekend. She lives outside Memphis but she wasn't in the flooding area; thank God. It was nice to see and talk to her. She only comes 'home' about twice a year to check up on daddy's doings.
Hoda, I'll take your weather any time; all the time. It's going to get hot and humid here again. Like JO, the humidity makes it hard for me to breathe.
Lolly, I'm also worried about July and August's weather. This has been too hot too soon.
Oh--here is a picture of our now-13-year-old granddaughter, Courtney, that Hubby sent home from his work today. She is looking SO grown up lately! Jen has sent me a bunch of pictures to view on Snapfish, also, so will have to share a few of those with you, too.

STEVE, thanks for the nice new thread ! I've put out the call.
Just doing a quick check to see if my puter problems have been resolved. Looks like it.
LORI, love the Val n' Tino. Seth does use the computer sometimes, but hadn't since Sat. night. I always delete cookies, etc. once he goes home. He goes to so many sites and I know that's how some glitches can occur.
I'm off for a haircut and then back home to the A/C ASAP ! BBL
Well this is great!
Thanks Steve, we are always ready, us chatterboxes
Thanks Kay, for the alert - Glad you are back on the Computer, how IS the Dinosaur doing now ??
Hello Sharon, the authoress of the title "Sycamore Palace" for our Royal Nest
bringing this over:
Family Dollar has a very impressive collection of Father's Day Cards, by the way...
most only $1, some two for $1
We all know some Great Dads to remember on that day, brothers, newphews, sons, etc...and if you are blessed to still have your Fathers here with you ♥
Hey, SHARON, good news about the vision---remarkable !!!!
bringing over....
KAY - if you're lurking I hope you have your computer back together. I asked earlier about Seth using it because I've seen my nephews get on my Mom's computer and tweak it the way they like it to work and they just figure you'll like it better their way. Of course, they're playing mega memory/graphics video games and you just want to blog and go to Sporkle! I think. You could really be a drag racing, eagle loving granny in disguise! Kidding. ♥u
Happy 28th Anniversary Judie and Darth ♥ ♥ and
Joey and Laurel on their 14th ♥ ♥
Hope it is wonderful day for you both of you Young Couples ☺
Thanks for the new thread Steve.
Thanks for the call over also.
Lori thanks those pictures are great. The new enclosure should really be better for them. I just love how they care for those eaglets and Buddy. Any animal taken into there is in "specal hands". Thank you from me/us to the Rescue!!! ( :
Well have to head out and pick up Mom.
I'll check back in later.
Yeah, Sharon, keep those Eagle Eyes up and running and well-tuned !!
Have a good day, Dana...
hope your Mom is doing well, with no more neighborhood thievery !
Kay - I use C-Cleaner every day, (thanks to Jo's Ed...)
and other clean-out things,
clean up the C-disk from time to time, and defragment...have to keep this old bag o'bones computer going until I get a windfall in my paycheck like JudyE did !!
I read that the Wildlife Center of Virginia has received over $50,000 in donations since they took over the raising of the NBG triplets. That is wonderful, they need and deserve that money!
wondered why I lost sound at the live feed, well, it WAS at 14:42 mins, hit the arrow, back in business
Now Where are the Eagles?
Wildfires in Arizona....
Wanda!
Lovely picture of your father...can see his name, first, middle, and last in that beautiful script at the bottom of the portrait
WANDA - WCV just got 210 thousand from a Chase/Facebook promotion.
NBG got 110 thousand. They each got 10 grand for winning the "first round" then going onto the next round they both placed in the top 10 with the number of people who "liked" them on FB.
time to get out of my leopard-print pajama bottoms and get a move on...not sure where to start but there are lots of possibilities here....
Best wishes for a Good Day, everyone,
Hello to Everyone...visible and not visible here
Hope everyone is doing OK
Prayers for any aches and pains, ailments, and troubles
Lynn: Hope Liesl little head-banger didn't do any harm....
xoxo ♥
I had a great group of kids this year. I actually sent out an email to all praising the children, how quickly they learned and how attentive there are, just too much to write on individual report cards, but it is always funny when we (my aide and I) are trying to come up with fitting comments.
My room is just about finished. I think I am going to feel like I don't know what to do with all my time!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO OUR JUDIE AND FRANK...love that couple!♥♥
Judie didn't tell us why Darth is getting the honor of LORD FAIRFAX, but, I suspect that it's for the very good care that he extended to Judie while she recovered from her broken ankle;)
Oh DanaMo - I bet that feeling will pass quckly, what to do with all your time
Congratulations and Bravo on a Job Well Done!
okay, 'bye
my tomato plants....finally a second little teeny tiny tomato...lots of yellow blooms, but things seem stalled out...
have not seen any slugs yet, but I think something is getting into the blooms !!
Lori, that is wonderful news! I did vote or Like for them, but didn't know they had won any money. They do wonderful work there and are worthy of that $$ award!
Those slugs, sometimes hide under the pots, Margy. Are there aphids on the plants?
Yes, that is my sweet Daddy. Probably 1940.
I must say, I have a whole new respect for School Teachers since hearing stories from all of ours. Didn't know there was so much work involved!
Wanda-my mom says the same thing. She swore I was going to burn out my first year.
Wanda
have not seen anything on them, the tomatoes, but have seen earwigs here and there in some of the dirt
do have marigolds planted near, hear they they are good companion plants for tomatoes....
pretty overcast here, part of WV, Morgantown and those areas, about to get some pretty serious weather...
we have some Momsters out that way....
hope it won't be too bad
well, I have to head out, going to look for butterfly weed....
and take care of some boring chores
xoxo ♥
Is it raining at the nest? Sounds like it! Please send it to me.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Thank you, Steve, for the new thread.
So much to catch up on today.
Megan, I hope your Vincent is okay wherever it is. How's the market business these days?
Lynn, I really think I need to report you to PITA. Poor Liesl. Bet she was surprised. Of course, now if she misbehaves in the slightest, she has an excuse - you dropped her on her head when she was still a baby. Got plans for the grands this summer?
Lori, thanks for the arthritis tip. May give it a try. Aching joints are so out of control.
Kay, glad your computer is back to work for you. Get your "do" did real pretty.
Dana, enjoy the birthstone ring. Nice way to remember, isn't it?
Sharon, glad you're doing better with the vision.
Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey. Sure hope they have a special day today.
BBIAM
Got lost again!
Cool names for all of your vultures, girls! Megan, was Maddie thinking of Vincent Price??
JudyE...hate to say it but the marshmallows sound gross! I wouldn't buy any of them! JMHO!
Nice, Dana, for that dad to customize for the baby.
Revamped enclosure for the NBG eaglets will be so fun for them! Looks pretty cool!
Thanks for call-0ver, Margy. Sorry I missed it!
Only 75° here and it has sprinkled a bit.
Okay, had to post or the blogger cop would get me.
Wanda, tell Father Capt. Gene he has no competition. He's still our Capt.
Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes. Some days it seems like more than 28 years but sometimes it seems like a lot fewer years.
Lord Fairfax received the nomination for his volunteer activities in the community for the past 20 years. He is head of the oldest continuously operating neighborhood watch in the U.S., he has raised thousands of $ for Childrens Hospital in D.C., he serves as a FFax County Park Authority Board member, he volunteers at the Easter Egg Hunt, the Mason District festival, and the summer concert series 3 nights each week in the summer. We'd be rich if he got paid!
So, with all that, I sure wish he would do more volunteering around the house but then I'm selfish. It's like being married to a plumber who has leaking pipes at his own house. lol
Taking it easy today. Since we have to go to the buffet tonight, I don't want to have to clean myself up (or down) again. Anniversary present: I don't have to cook.
Also, AC/new furnace are scheduled for tomorrow. Yippee!
Enough about personal stuff.
I'm sorry I've forgotten to mention all the important activities for so many of you. Short attention span.
Going to check out the critter cams. BBL
Judie, no special plans yet. They are in their first day off----bet they both sleep all day! Speaking of slugs.....ha,ha--just kidding!!!
Tell us again what Darth's honorific is for, please. King of the Neighborhood Watch? King of the parks?
Wanda, nice pic of your Dad! Reminds me of my uncle! They were SO young....as were all our soldier boys then.
Doing a Margy.
DanaMo, don't know what happened but hope the "tooth" thing is okay or going to be.
Shirley, enjoy the time with your teacher pals.
Andy, guess you have tons of transcription to get done. May it go quickly and easily.
LOL, Judie, we were both typing about Darth at the same time! Ooops on me!! Darth deserves the accolades!! Give him our congrats again! And, of course, we dstill remember how well he kept us informed of your recovery!!!
Time to disappear for awhile. Gals coming for website training and fence delivery due soon. BBL!
I have been AWOL today - Daughters
are my excuses! Love being with my
girls..
I will have to read earlier thread
Happy Anniversary Judie & Frank
Great Judie !! On all accounts...
Yah, I was married to a carpenter for awhile...didn't get much carpentering done at our place either !
But I spent a lot of years with a Firefighter/EMT - always felt very protected on that front !!
Oh heck, think I'll just keep the leopard print pj bottoms and go out like that! I'll fit right in around here....
No, I won't embarass my Momsters friends like that ☺
but by dragging my feet, I just got a nice call from my sister in Massachusetts...☺
OK now I can b-r-e-a-t-h-e
Jo is here !
Good excuse, always, Jo....
family !! ♥
Jack and I just finished our "walking" and I am covered in sweat!! Need to cool off before I head outdoors. I see some flowers that missed getting watered this morn and their heads are drooping.
Lynn, I am with you on the marshmallows. Last year or so Kraft came out with caramel swirled through marshmallows. Thought the boys would love them and ended up throwing them out. Just give them plain marshmallows. However, they do no get marshmallows except when we are roasting them in a fire.
Color is really nice at the nest. Just wish it were not MT.
See NZ has a bone chip and is being kept out of the new enclosure. Those poor eaglets must be wondering why everyone seems to just keep disappearing.
Phoebe Allen is looking pretty on her tiny nest.
Hornsby babes are growing. Look really windy there today. Adult supervising.
I'll admit to this much -- he deserves more than Lord Fairfax for what he went through taking care of me. Medal of Honor maybe.
Jo's here!
BBL
Doing a Margy, again. May have to get some leopard design pj bottoms.
Lolly reminded me, I need to water.
Bye
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good Morning,
EveryonE.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A beautiful, sunny, warm but not too warm day in So Cal today.
Good to see both our cams are up and working again.
I just wish Liberty was back and the Truder was out of there.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Ditto that movin' Jim !
Every day we feel that way.....
Good to see you,
realize you have your "old" moniker back, or at least, part of it!
someone, I think JudyE or maybe another dear Momster, said...your moniker fits...you move in and out like a butterfly here sometimes, always a TREAT to see you here
Both Finland Nests have two chicks, and one unhatched yet each...waiting on the Water Nest Ospreys to start hatching
Lolly - - would send you some cool weather and rain but we don't have it to send that way...yet....
finally got regular clothes on
Judie: You speak well of Darth...he sure was a Gem to us, when you were in the early stages of injury and recovery...and anytime thereafter, he is Always Welcome Here
Love to you both...
okay, keys and phone in hand
out the door....
xoxoxo
I guess it's been reported that Finney laid four eggs (I only knew about 3), and two of the eggs have hatched.
She has a nice big fish in the nest now and was at least eating it herself a moment ago.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
wow, Jim, I totally missed or maybe forgot...about a 4th egg...see it clearly printed on their nest news...
Well, the two little ones seem to be doing well.....waitin' on #3
and #4 if it is still in there...
okay, I got to quit fibbing here
TTFN !
Drizzling in Hagerstown off and on.
I broke a tooth, the filling remained in tact and I will only need to have a crown put on. The whole tooth is cracked, but roots are good. Yesterday he just checked it and smoothed the roughness, tomorrow I go in for a temporary crown, then I guess I get the permanent one in a couple of weeks.
Everybody disappeared!
Whoops! We just now lost the cam!
We had a great picture, then all of a sudden static and no picture. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thermometer says 97, I have decided I have done enough outdoors today. Have been pulling up Larkspur, just a few more to go.
ruh roh, doesn't look good at either cam...
still, rainbowy lines at top
live, rainbowy lines all over !
Hello Everyone...
:(
I musta chased them all away Sharon
at least for awhile
Now we shall congregate, sad and disappointed once again about the cam
found butterfly weed Leaves, but no flowers yet....this time last year I was taking pictures of the flowers !
very different sprouting season this year
I was home when new thread was up and didn't notice it OOPs now to get to reading I wonder if we had a visit I guess I will find out as I read alone see you in a little bit
Hi, Gang,
Dropping in to say hello, and to wish JUDIE & DARTH/FRANK a HAPPY 28TH ANNIVERSARY!!! Congrats to Darth, too, for his Lord Fairfax honors!
HAPPY 14TH ANNIVERSARY TO JOEY & LAUREL!!
Well, I've managed to get some of the housework done around here, and got the patio swept and the "land mines" cleaned up for the gardeners. Now must stay "on task" with the transcription. What just happened to the live cam??!! Checked it again, and there is no picture! Hope the ants aren't back!
Lynn, sorry to hear that Liesl took a tumble. Bet she's OK, though. I'm sure she's a tough little rascal. :o]
Nope
No visit,...unless it occured while everyone was disappeared, JudyE
I was out for awhile
can't account for those times
xox Welcome Home from Work
so I see we have no live cam RAinbow darn it
Do you all have a cam I don't
41 email comments and 54 new on this blog to read I guess without a camera that all I can do
OK I see Andy mentioned also no cam POOP
Just checked out them both Judy
Nothing but streaks and then still
cam has the streaks across the top.
I'll shoot an email to NCTC before
5:00 quitting time.
Quick look-see at the door before heading off for the buffet. Hope the food is tasty.
Y'all have a fun evening. I'm pooped already so have set the night light for 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all.
Again, thank you for the well-wishes today and the nice comments for Lord Fairfax. His day as royalty is nearly over.
Have a great evening, Judie! Treat Lord Vader kindly!
It is fun to watch the NBG triplets in their new enclosure. Saw one just fly to the A frame perch. When they fly it is hard to see them.
WANDA Yep you are right that was Lakeland My daughter had lived over there at the time and was unable to go home that night they had the I4 blocked where he was hidden at I think he was shot over 50 or more times That Sheriff should run for office he is the bomb
Happy AnniversayDARTH VADER and JUDIE
Hedgie, Miracle on the Hudson is supposed to come through here tomorrow. I am wondering if they will fit through the toll booths on the turnpike and then through the tunnels??
If Not, Sharon....get ready to host some truckers....
in true Southern Hospitality Style ☺
wow,
no rain
lots of heat and haze here now
and the invigorating aroma of freshly mowed grass
not by me, but the maintenance folks here ☺
headed outside for some Vitamin D and K
little tee-tiny wild strawberry leaves near the mailbox,
someone thought it was marijuana!
don't think so...
Thanks JO....for sending that message along to NCTC -
wow, bet they are getting frustrated also !!!
and I bet they have literally had their FILL of ANTS !!
ttfn xox
Yuk, Cattywampus cam
Heading home to mow...
I'm back.....starving---dinner on the stove!
Actually, Finney1 has two eggs to go! She laid 4--just hope they all make it!
Jim....you ARE in and out so fast!! Hope everything is good for you!!
Oops again---see Margy and Jim both posted about Finney. I have a great pic of all 4 eggs that I got last month.
Was very disappointed to see that cam is gone again.....:(
Capt. Father Gene said, "praise the 'Lord' Fairfax...I will step aside for him anytime, he is my good friend!"
Really impressed with his volunteer work in so many capacities. Volunteering...community service, is one of the most thoughtful, and important things that you can do for others and yourself!
Hi everyone!
Happy anniversary to Judie and Lord Fairfax and Laurel & joey.
See the cam is down AGAIN! Those darn ants. NCTC must feel as frustrated as us (or is it 'we'?).
Brain is a little foggy lately. Fell Saturday and really messed up my knees, shoulder and back. I was trying to step onto the porch and went "boom." Vicodin is working on the brain but not the bod too much. ☺
Max, daddy and mom were here overnight Saturday. He's such a "ham" but you can tell he goes to school and is around other children. He's picked up some bad traits that mom has to harness before next fall.
Jim & I and got our eyes examined and new glasses. I can finally read in comfort. Broke mine and had to use an older pair for quite a while. Caused a few headaches, but am fine now.
Shirley, 'your' time is getting closer and then you won't have to listen for that school bell. Yipee!!
Have to check back to see what happened to Liesl.
bbl
Hi Sharon - The miracle on the Hudson's route has got to be the most checked out as far as those
things and even the curves and
loops! Didn't catch it as it went
through MD - Hope you could see it
coming through! Saw it on TV News - Humongous
"Hi all,
EagleCam is back up. We're still adjusting the audio volume. It'll probably be a couple of days before we can rely on the feed being stable. So, please be patient if it goes down again. Thank you."
The above is post 36 in Camera Problems Thread at the OC site. It was posted yesterday June the 6th in the evening.
I thought to post it here, they were expecting it to not be stable for a few days.
oh boo hoo! I was ready to see some eagles! I can't believe it's down again. I want to see them a couple of days in a row before I drive over. Is there a gathering coming up? Did I read that somewhere?
Shar---I sure don't see how they can fit! I know they were going over on-off ramps rather than under the bridges.....but yeah, there are bridges without ramps on 81, so......a real circuitous route I guess! Maybe you can see them!
PA Nana I am so sorry to here that
you fell and got some boo-boos.
I am sure they hurt! You were trying to step up and then Donna Cox, our Momster, fell stepping
down! I don't want to know who
#3 is - hopefully Liesl will fill
that spot as she banged her head!
MEGAN Wow that is toooo cool that the vulture let you get that close pretty soon he may eat out of your hands wouldn't that be exciting Sounds like the vulture eat better that me
Can I come and sit on your rock too? I prefer mine cooked if that's ok LOL
HEDGIE AHHH poor baby feel and hope Liesl is ok. ***giving you that WHY DID YOU DO THAT LOOK HUH too cute (spell check doesn't recognize Liesl name so I had to add to my dictionary pretty cool that we can do that)
HODA looks like someone put you in charge and forgot to tell you HUH giving you the delete trash can of us all THEN when you told us they took it away YA THINK Ok who is messing with Hoda today you better stop it or someone will get the eagle cane out and knock more knots on your head than you can rub. (that was my DAD favorite saying) HA HA
Just got to the part Vincent is a good name for the vulture VV for short
DANA cute story of the little boy and the making a basket I love the enthusiasm that children get when they accomplish a task. We taught Jordyn to put her hand up and yell I did it soooo cute
MAGPIE
DOLLAR GENERAL and Dollar Tree also have cheap cards 2 for 1.00 and gift bags and DT are 1.00 all sizes of gift bags Walmart has a few 50 and 99 card but the selection is very few they tried to compete I still go there I go in those stores and come out with lots of stuff Shut reading glass 1.00 ME CHEAP or frugal
KAY What is the memory in your computer How many GB do you have free in your C drive.
I use to have a older computer my sister gave me and it was always telling my my drives were almost full it only was a 2GB really small memory that is why I got this one It was not meant to have pictures in it like I did. This puter I bought in 2007 the C Drive has 288GB and the D drive is 9.99 right now I have 32,975 pictures in this one so far. I have a Dell Inspiron 531 I bought on a Black Friday with my 20%off Christmas bonus
WOW that is too cool about the donation rolling in for the NBG triplets and others there that they tend to I love the new enclosures
WANDA love your DAD picture
Still got more reading to do sending this book before it burst out of it binding LOL Gonna take a quick neck break and have a glass of tea then finish reading see that why I want to get a cheap lap top but my daughter thinks it will still bother my neck
I really hope that Shirley is
enjoying the dinner with her co-workers and friends.
Anxious to hear of her day! ♥
Well at least the STILL CAM IS STILL WORKING!
Lori I have a feeling it is in a
frozen mode! Maybe not - I know it is keeping correct date/time. I'd like to see something new in it
when it refreshes.......
JUDIE - Lord Darth Frank sounds like an amazing man.
WANDA was right that community service is so admirable. I was very excited to read that the Lord raises funds for Children's Nat'l Medical Center! I'm doing an interview with them tomorrow that will air this weekend. And, we had a trivia question this morning that no one could answer so we've donated the American Girl Doll prize (kahani or something like that) to Children's! What a wonderful place it is. Please tell Lord Darth Frank thank you for all he does. He went from unknown to hero in my world today.
Goodness - didn't think of that Jo. Let's watch. Call JUDYE - she can see ants in the nest! LOL!
Oh you're right JO - it does have those rainbow lines across the top again. DANG! We may be camless tonight. Hope not.
KAY - Have Julie take a pic of you in your new do - would love to see it. Is it tonight they are finishing your deck?
Oh, Diann----so sorry about your fall.....please feel better fast AND be careful! Was it the fixed shoulder you hurt??
How old os Max now? 3?? That's about the normal time to pick up other kids bad habits. :(
ALmost forgot.....Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey today, too!
Oh - LOLLY - please pass on a Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey. Hope they know they're lucky to have YOU! Getting too hot for plants here, too. And dang mosquitos bite the dodo out of me especially in the evening.
Does anyone think that Listerine works for keeping mosquitos away? Sure would like to find something that isn't made by Dow/Monsanto Chemicals to use.
Home after a long day in town.
Before I went to town. I left the house reached the car unlocked it. Started driving and hear this terrible noise. Stop got out and checked "a flat tire". I did make it very slowly to Sheetz (Judie ( :) and put air in it. I got to Mom's and told her she needed to drive her car. Following me until I good till if there was a leak. Finally I figured it was. Got it to Rogers and left it there and went to places with Mom. Roger's found a small nail in the tire.
Thank the Lord the tire didn't blow on I-81 that it all happened at the house. PRAISES IN ORDER !!! THANK YOU LORD FOR TAKING CARE OF ME !!
Mom was a lot of help....she say's don't thank me. I told her yes I will and she has to accept it. She wanted to know why. I told her, "Because you & Dad raised me like that". lol
Diann prayers for the soreness from your fall. Thank God you didn't break anything. I know it still has to hurt.
Megan I hope your vulture is ok. Has it been back?
I'm sure the news will be showing a lot about the Hudson traveling.
Yes Judie enjoy your time out tonight with Darth. Darth you have really been "hiding things from us". That you kind of guy you are. Don't talk about it..DO IT !!! You are to be commended for all the things you have been involved in. Which of course is why they are doing that for you tonight ( :
Kudos to Lord Fairfax Quite an accomplishment You are one lucky woman. He's a keeper Huh!I heard he hooked up with someone the blog a while back LOL It was when I was blocked from the blog I can't remember who said it I just remember laughing by butt off
I too was married to a carpenter who never did anything I built my daughter a barbie doll house when she was little
I installed every ceiling fan in the house there and everywhere I move too So funny Angie told me that he dad bought a ceiling fan over a year ago and it is still sitting in his living room (using as a coffee table)for real) When Angie was over there a couple of months ago she said hey dad do you want me to see if Mom would install your fans I just think that is tooo funny and to this day they aren't installed . Odd that a couple of months ago I messed up my garbage disposal something was stuck and I used a handle to try to free what was stuck somehow I popped the thing out of the sink and it was just hanging there Well I called Angie to see if she knew someone that knew how to fix it and she said something to her dad in passing and he came over with my son Tommy and he ended up fixing it Tommy couldn't understand what he wanted done so Tom just laid down on the floor and fixed it I was shocked! and thankful
If anything needed done he would alawys send a crew over to do it from the job site.
MAGPIE I can't believe how many peep do shop in their pj. Crude people We get all types I love the people of walmart site, some of those picture are just disgusting
Are you all keeping up with the trial???? I am watching it right now and every night I love it that it is reruns season I have a lot of stuff still on the DVR but it can wait
LOLLY
do you live in a rural area to go walking in or woods ???
I guess you could say I live in a house complex or subdivision I guess that what it called my neighbors I say to my right the house is 100 feet she has too plots of property I live on the curb My property is like a piece of pie 45.5 across front yard 110.2 across back yard one side is 90 and the other is 122.6 there is another house next to me that is almost the same dimensions but his is only 84 across back yard really odd looking on the plat map Square footage is 1247
I live in HARMONY Heights Ilike the name
So when I go walking I have sidewalks and lots of house as scenery not good scenery to look at we have a Pinellas Trail that goes all over the county all the way south and over to Tampa hundreds of miles of trail But I don't like to go by myself so I don't do much walking here I love going walking when I visit June love the woods she lives is so nice . It sound like most of you live in the woods I would love to live in the woods but that will never happen to the best of my knowledge
MOVIN was here for more than a split second YEAH JIM good to hear from you
I'm gaining speed on the blog up to when I got home only a little more to go need another neck break
Yep that is our Dadster Jim--moving in to say and moving out to go lol
I keep forgetting to add
Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey on their 14th ( :
I love watching the eaglets at the Rescue in their new enclosure.
Hope I get to see today probably tomorrow. Since I'm going to watch American Got Talent. A eaglet on the swing bar. I think that would really be neat.
Woof - sorry about the flat tire, DanaWV ....glad you and your Mom could work it out together:
Woman Power !
have to admit, I have not been able to keep track of all the comments, completely failed to remember about the 4 eggs at
Finney1
thanks again Lynn
Oh Diann! That is awful, the slip tumble and triple boo-boo areas...sure hope you bounce back 100%
Pronto !
DanaMo I'm sure you will find something to do with your time off from school.
You and the kids can have a water gun fight. Keep cool...find a pool.
Lori
I have used Avon Skin-So-Soft(oil-type spray) for years (and there are some Avon towelettes that are also nice)
for trying to keep bugs at bay, seems to work pretty well and I am very lavish about putting it all over
I also use Off DeepWoods or Cutters spryaed on my bibs sometimes to try to ward off ticks
also, there are some natural products which include rosemary and other things that are nice, and good-smelling!
I saturate a big piece of papertowel, put it in a baggie, and put that in my pocket for
refreshing the treatment when I am out in the woods...
Hope something works well for you.
If I get a bite, I rub it as soon afterwards as possible with rubbing alcohol also
I sat and read the newspapers from the last two weeks, did see that there WERE some notices in the paper about the God Bless America motorcycle ride in our area
last Sunday....
wish I had read all that Before the event and shared it here with our local folks
:(
otherwise out of all the I read, I have saved one article about Dame's Rockets aka James Rockets ☺
and don't forget: Water Balloons, DanaMo
and fill up spray bottles with very cold water, make that ice water!
that's how I plan to get through the summer, plus a few trips to some swimming pools
might try to splash in the creek at Swinging Bridge with James sometime or another also
hungry and need a shower
see you folks later on
daggone no Eagles to watch for, and had hoped to SEE
:(
does not seem to me that the view is progressing with the hour
I could be wrong
but those rainbow lines are never a good sign
ttfn xo
I was out on the deck but the humidity is high - My breathing was
not liking it and my nose got very stuffy. Like "I can't breathe"
DanaMo -no plans for a get together soon. Just say the word
and if some of us are free we will
meet up with you.
LORI Sitting here LMBO I tell you its the reading glass I wear Just got to that part almost to the end I don't think I can do it HA HA I think I can I think I can see you at bed time at this rate LOL
Thanks MARGY!
I just came in from watering and have about 20 bite/welts that I've already sprayed with Benadryl anti-itch stuff and they're still driving me crazy. Totally forgot about Skin-So-Soft from Avon. It's also good for keeping gnats off horses ears when you're out trail riding. Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.
Taking a shower and off to bed.
KAY - I missed you tonight, but sure hope you had company and got your deck done. Keep that do pretty. I want to see it. :)
DANA WV - so glad you're safe. Flat tires are a pain! Glad you have your Mom.
Sleep well everyone.
See you Early Birds in the morning!
Hi,
Reading back a bit.
Diann, sorry about your fall. I hope you feel better very soon.
Had a nice dinner at Chili's with my friends . . . old timers from way back--Melanie, Priscilla, and Diane. We have been working together for many years. We were at the middle school together, then moved to the high school. Diane later became a librarian and is now at an elementary school in the county. It was great to see her again.
Melanie gave me a pretty charm bracelet with an owl, a letter "S," the school colors and a cat on it.
YES JO - would love to meet up with DANA MO. JUDYE, LOLLY and KAY and HODA we gotta get you in town too.
Glad you had a good time, Shirley!
DanaWV and Margy....DanaMo has a POOL!!!!! I bet they spend a lot of time in it!! Wish I still had one. DId I ever tell you that "he" filled in "our" pool a few years ago? ARGH! Too bad it wasn't portable!! But they are PIA's when you live in the woods----much more upkeep involved.
DanaWV, glad you caught that flat! And good that your Mom still drives! Does Roger still have a SharPei in the office?
Happy Anniversary to Laurel and Joey today, too!
DANA so glad your safe and sound Tire blow out I hear are no fun Knock on wood I've been lucky I've had flats before leaving but no blow outs
Great you complimenting your mom to your mom Some times people forget where they came from but not this group I see clearly My daughter has said to me thanks for being so strict on her once.
Jordyn is really a polite 3yr old she even thanks us when we change her butt She is only pee potty trained so we still use pull ups Angie just laughs and says that just my job and Jordyn will laugh at that She says bless you when some one sneezes Oh and if you forget to say your welcome she will look at you funny and say thank you again
DIANN hope you feel back to normal soon a fall is bad its the landing that sucks.
So glad the Swinging Bridge was mentioned I keep forgetting to ask about it Where is it and does anyone have pictures of it I would love to see what you all are referring to
I also think the camera is Kaput
No early bird here no camera I will be sleeping in I love my sleep
Shirley I have never eaten there One day I should I guess
I HAVE READ EVER COMMENT
I still plan on going on vacation in Oct to see June and Terry do you think there is a way that someone could go to the nest at that time Just a thought Haven't confirmed a date yet being the open house was cancelled BUMMER BIG TIME
OK now I need to get a shower I'm sorry I wrote two books before but I just typed right along with reading easier that way CRS spell happen quite often now HA BBL
sounds lovely, Shirley...
so happy to read of your time with special friends
Yeah, realized that about the pool, Lynn...
total body immersion in the cold stuff much better than some squirts here and there in most cases
Hope Carolyn is enjoying her days off !
Lori I think your bug bites have
gone to your brain - How are we
going to get Hoda over here? Maybe
JudyE will tell us when her
vacation is planned...Lolly isn't
planning to be on the east coast
this year... but Kay would come!
I am only joking with you Lori as I think you were only joking with me - weren't you! lol
Yes JudyE Oct I'll be available to
go to the nest and meet up with you
and all the others that will want to meet you... Let us know the dates.
evening all....whew, Diann, OMG....so sorry about your fall. Hope you are feeling better very soon!
Sorry about your flat tire Dana. AMEN to not having it blow on the highway before you knew it was flat!
Happy Anniversary to Lord Fairfax and the Fair Lady Judie!
and Happy 14th to Laurel and Joey!
Lolly, hope you aren't melting in the heat and drought down there.
Liesl took a tumble...Is she OK?
and sorry about all of your bug bites...but that's only because you are sweet!
That's about as far back as I have read.....
I think the camera looks brighter or is it just my squeaky clean eyes LOL
JudyE
Swinging Bridge is in a rural area here, more or less in "Hedgesville" but more specifically,
Jones Spring, Berkeley County,WV
Years ago there was a one lane wooden low water bridge...that has been replaced by a fancier, higher elevation but still one lane concrete bridge
it spans across Back Creek.
Swinging Bridging itself, was a little suspension foot bridge that also spanned the creek
it fell prey to vandalism back in the late 60's - -
it's no longer there
Gene and Wanda have connections to the property from years ago
and can add to this
It sits on Swinging Bridge Road, near the intersection of Calvary Hill Rd, Hedgesville, WV, so maybe you can google it and see some of the it from "the air"
sorry it took me so long to answer!
Diann, sorry about the fall...didn't you get the memo? No falls allowed!!
Happy 14th Anniversary to Laurel and Joey!
Lolly, how is Joey doing on the diet?
It's already nearly daylight, and IS tomorrow in Finland
Hi Lynne!
and oh hello there Paula!
How are your tomato plants doing?
no eagle views, but
Moonie is out, and approaching half, and the sundown skiy and clouds are a pretty pink
Having a lot of trouble with my lower back today.....can't seem to get comfortable no matter how I sit. Ibuprofen not doing the trick.....may fall asleep if I take a muscle relaxant, but guess that's ok---Liesl just went to bed. So if I disappear, you'll know why! No frosted alerts needed! Time for Deadliest Catch...will probably BBL!
That hot hot shower has done me in.. Well I am leaving for the evening Eye lids getting dropper more than normal See you at the SSCC but at 6 no camera I'm sleeping in as if that in. I was a good girl getting up at 5 today.
Good Night one and all
God Bless this Nest
and all whom watch it
Healing thoughts for
those in need
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle."
Evening Everyone in sightless Eagleland! Cam off some more?
Thought I better check in as I feel a Panda nap approaching!!Want to see a TV show later.
Congrats to Judie, Darth, Laurel & Joey!
Diann, stop those tumbles!! I've taken a couple--knee gives out. X-rays look great, so there's nothing they can fix! I have to wear elastic brace. DUH
Got my hair cut tonight at a barber shop! They have a couple ladies who specialize. Not exactly what I wanted, but MUCH cooler. My regular lady is way down the road.
If I don't get back here later, to all those hitting the hay, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
actually Finney2 is still on yesterday, that is the craziest cam on stopping and starting
sleep well, JudyE, you've had a long day!
Oh, and I thought JudyE was talking about ice cream cones, not marshmallows, LOL
too funny Loretta,
anytime I take James to the barber, I ask the barbers if I can go next...James always protests...but he knows I am kidding just the same anyway -
just might do it one of these days though
bath time here
will make it back to say an early Good Night in a little while
xoxo ♥
Hi Paula - have you gone across the street to the new Wegemans yet
I'll wait another week or so
Graded two more research papers. I think there are eight to go.
Will be administering the SOL retakes tomorrow. I think I'll have five or six students. Not too bad. I just hope they pass. The ones whose scores are close to passing get another chance, and this is it.
Hope the buffet was good, Judie.
Can't wait to see you in that barber's chair, Margy.
Oh, and you actually did it, Loretta.
Sorry about the back pain, Lynn.
Nest visit?? Sounds great!
Good night to everyone out there. My poor brain in plumb wore out. I will check in tomorrow.
Shoot, I had to sign in. How about that?
Well the weather is so awful the Dragon Boat Paddling was cancelled for this evening...white caps on the water from the wind and rain while we did our exercises...so it goes...came back and had a bowl of ice cream instead, after all it is June. We never got higher than 56 Degrees F and twice we had thunder and Lightning and the rain downpours were so strong some streets were saturated...I got caught walking in one of them on my way to yoga class, but managed OK with a rain coat and an umbrella. Much of the same for the week is the forcast...sorry if I am talking too much about the weather, I wished I had some of your warm dry weather and smiled as the thought crossed my mind several times to day of your sending me some of your weather wishes from yesterday.
Margy....Carolyn's schedule got changed.....4-12pm for Sat & Sun.! Don't think she minds too much!
Blogger cop is going really crazy----error message but posted my comment 3 times!!!??? DUH!
Correction on Swinging Bridge!!! It was still passable (barely) in the 70's! My mom and I walked across it!! Heavily overgrown on ends, too! Not much traffic!
hedgie/Lynn sorry you have back trouble, take care of yourself and no heavy lifting for a while...Blogger cop is doing strange things today...I laughed about your comment earlier about my being given the delete power!!! Not a responsibility I wanted.
The White Rock cam came up for me this evening and the chicks are growing up really well...I am glad to see them. I have not been able to access the cam of late...
Hoda....I am waiting for you to send rain and cooler temps to me. I worked outside quite a bit today but gave up around 3. High was 97 but, thank goodness, low humidity. Went back outside after supper. 87 felt okay to work. Going to mow and do some more work tomorrow.
Judy...we live in a incorporated area in the country....called Briaroaks. Houses are on mostly 1 or 2 acres, but some have 4 or so acres. We have walked outside on the street but it is just too hot to walk now. There are lots of oak trees in our area, but it is not what one would called "woods". We "walk" indoors with an exercise DVD.
I always got my hair cut at a barber shop here when it was long. Beauticians always took TOO much off!! Wanna see your bob, Loretta!!!
Hoda, sorry your plans got "chopped" out....:(
Hope Th. will be better for you.
Lynne, Liesl is fine. Worn out from attention of company today!
EEEEK-----SB just hit my arm. UGH!
Hmmmm....may have to resort to Vicodin here, too.....back is not easing up.
LORI, yes the kids returned, finishing off the deck cleaning, washing down the fencing, cleaning the windows across the back and sweeping my garage. What great kids, my hat is off to whoever raised them !☺ Seth helped by clearing the table following our Mexican dinner and by taking trash to the dumpster. Then he and I watched Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune while his parents worked. They took Malcolm to the dog park before dinner, so he was pooped and quite the laid back dog. The "do" is just the same. I started wearing it very short a few years ago and it doesn't allow for a lot of change. Just so easy for me to maintain.
MARGY, good practice to take care of the computer the way you do. I never had a problem with cookies and browsing history until I hooked up with this blog. The Norton anti-virus cleared them out routinely, but the blog has some strange sensitivity I don't understand.
JUDYE, I don't know all the technical stuff about the puter, but my guru says I have oodles of available space. I do keep junk cleaned out and defragment when needed.
SHIRLEY, so nice to have your friends honor you with lunch. The bracelet sounds lovely. Hope you'll get together with good friends frequently in retirement. I only have a few old friends here in Columbus, from the good ol' 60's and 70's, and we get together for lunch about six times a year. They are able to winter in Florida, so are away for several months each year. All other friends from that era have either died or moved to warmer climes. Have some nice new friends who also work at the Food Pantry as well as terrific neighbors. Enjoying retirement soooo much ! Hope you will, too.
HODA, too bad about the crummy weather. Hope the dragon boat racing will be possible soon. I want to hear that you've spotted an eagle out there !
Bummer about the cam. Not setting an alarm, but will probably "see" my dear Early Bird Buds in the morning.
Prayers for Diann and Donna---horrible to hear about those painful falls. Thinking of LYNN with her aches and JO with the breathing difficulties. Will ask the Lord to bless all Momsters and Dadsters !
Goodnight !
♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y !!!!!!!
LORI, you have e-mail.
Hi again. The evening got away from me since supper.
Watching "Covert Affairs" now but I'll try to get back after the news and weather.
If I'm too late for those going to bed in the meantime, peaceful sleep and God bless.
Loretta, it's a shame we depend on our knees so much. HOpe you're doing doing as well as can be expected.
commercial is over.... bbl
Good Night to all closing their eyes
My entire computer programs are slow this evening!
Thinking I am going to give up and
just sit and relax awhile. I think I have a few more pages to read in
my Birds & Blooms.
I think I will sign off and run
a program to clean up this pc..
Good night everyone and prayers for all our wants/cares/needs.
(((Hugs))) for all! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
... another commercial.
Lynn, Max was 3 in January. Still didn't read back to see what happened to Liesl. hurt my faux shoulder.
Paula, I didn't mean to fall. The step was just too high. :-(
later...
Goodnight Mema Jo and all who have signed off. God Bless and sweet dreams...
Lolly I would love to send you some cooler weather...it drops to the mid forties at night!!! Eighties would be good for the day time temperatures...I read about your plants and how you make the rounds to water them...
The White Rock nest is way too small for those growing chicks and their parents, one of the eaglets sleeps with its head hanging out of the nest!!! looks so odd!!!
I got MAD today. While working in the yard I found two new armadillos holes. One near the patio and the other behind the AC and both going under the house foundation. Grrrrrr! I filled in one with water and dirt and put bricks on top. The other Jack and I shoveled in dirt and laid concrete edging on top. Of course, if they were in them they will dig out and dig holes some other place. They have not started tearing up the lawn but have been digging in the mulch in the garden. When they start digging in the lawn Jack will go hunting!
oh the armadillos
do you think this is birthing or baby season for them Lolly?
Hoda, our normal temp for this time of year is upper 80's. Can deal with that, but this close to 100 is scary. Really hate to think what July and August will be like.
Ok Lynn
I "stand" corrected...I just remember dodging the holes in the wooden walk boards in the early 70's to maybe I backed up the damage report a few years too many
regarding Swinging Bridge
I am wondering, could you have maybe strained or pulled something when you tried not to let Liesl fall early this morning? Sorry to hear of your discomfort xo ♥
I really do not know, Margy, but probably. I certainly have never seen a baby armadillo.
Margy, that moon is pretty, saw it last night, too!
haha, that was an hours old comment I forgot to post!
awsome folk music show on WNPB station, had to miss some of while I was taking my loooong bath
Kingston Trio, Limeliters, Highwaymen, all the good Hootenanny people
Why the schedule switch for Carolyn Lynn...due to a vacation or an illness?
Three years ago, my First Official Momsters Nest Visit to the Sycamore Palace....and there was one Dadster....Captain Father Gene!
It was a Saturday in June 2008
Met a Whole Bunch of Neat People that day !! ☺
oh Lolly that is So Hot!
My brother was in Houston for years and did NOT like the heat.
yah, just checked the Moon again, Paula....surrounded by some haziness now
but getting that pretty amber color
as it "sets" for the night
How is our Favorite Golden Retriever Tonight ??
Hoda
Didn't mean to not say HI!
I'm sorry the weather is not playing nice out your way :(
LOL, Hoda...had a dog once who always slept with her head hanging out of the bed! Guess birds and dogs and kids can get comfortable so easily!!
Diann, Liesl jumped out of my arm onto the deck.....kind of landed on her head! But she's fine!
Sorry it was your repaired shoulder you hurt....like Paula said: NO falling allowed! We have too many momsters doing that!
took a walk with the dogs and heard a Barred Owl! First time in a LONG time! It was kinda far off...
LYNN....oh geez, I hope you can get comfy enough to get some good sleep tonight.
Hoda, sorry your weather is so crappy....
Margy! OMG....how short is your hair now? Wish I had known you were going to get a cut...there is this organization called Locks of Love...they take hair and make wigs for people with cancer!
Good Night to some nice people here I missed while I was soaking in the tub....
Jo, I am waiting a week or so as well to check out the new Wegmans....lots of cars in the lot and cars going in and out!
Hoda, we really need to trade a couple of weather days...I hate to say it, but we do need rain! And to think of the complaining we were doing just a couple of weeks ago! Hope your weather brightens up soon! Sorry your dragon boat practice was cancelled!
Oh MY!!! I ran over an armadillo once when I was driving in OKC...scared the you know what out of me!!!It came out of no where and I could not avoid it...Cried for days afterwards because I was sure I killed it...OH MY!!!
Lolly, do they make Armadillo traps? Wondering....if so, maybe you can relocate them
Oh my hair is not too short, it was Loretta that might have gotten a shorter cut, Lynne...
mine is about down to my shoulders...
did get it clipped pretty short a few months ago...
have often thought of the Locks of Love program, would love to do that...and will probably do so, sometime....♥
This summer is starting out like the one 2 years ago here that was so hot and humid.
Noticed, too, that there are WAY fewer Lightning Bugs this year. Last year, I had never seen so many! Even people who aren't "nature" geeks were noticing!
I feel sooooo much better because you all heard me on the weather and I want to say THANK YOU.
Margy...the Nugster was on a roll tonight...played ball in the yard, then he played with his ball inside...then he got a couple of nice belly rubs and his ears cleaned. He had his last snack for tonight, and I think he's ready to hit the sack...me too!
I've got the rest of the lawn mowed and flowers watered tonight, and have been working on getting stuff together to take to the beach...John and Ajay had given me a canister set some years ago that has lighthouses on them....was using them for spare change since I already had a set, so I got them all washed up to take to the beach.
Think I'm gonna hit the hay early tonight, have lots to do at work tomorrow.
Shirley, glad you enjoyed your dinner out...how many days now?
Gnite to those who have hit the hay and those heading there.
(((Hugs to all ♥)))
yep Hoda, you talk, WE listen ♥
Hi, Gang!
Dropping back in to say goodnight before I have a chance to do a face plant on my keyboard. Have been busy doing transcription today, so my brain is more tired than the rest of me tonight.
Diann, I'm SO sorry to hear about your fall! Prayers that you will feel much better very, VERY soon!
Still praying for Mauley Donna, too. Have we heard a doctor's report from her yet?
Lynn, sorry to hear that your back is hurting. Do you think you might have twisted it trying to hang onto Liesl?
Glad to hear that she is fine, by the way. :o]
Shirley, sounds like you had a wonderful time with your friends today! The bracelet sounds beautiful!
BTW, how is George doing? Please give him a scratch behind the ears for me.
Oh, no, Lolly! Don't tell me the armadillos are back again! Sure hope they don't cause too much damage! Hope it doesn't get too hot for you this summer, either. I'm concerned for our kids too. They're in Aubrey, and one GD is in Dallas. Our daughter, Jen, LOVES hot weather, but the rest of them aren't particularly fond of it!
The Nugster, I love it!
Okay Good Report, all the way around Paula...
Good Night!
xox ♥
Hoda, do you have Lightning Bugs where you are?
Lynne, we have noticed less at the beach since they first came out a couple of weeks ago...
Hoda, I hate it when an animal runs out and there's nothing you can do :(
Michael is growing his hair again for Locks of Love ♥
Oh, he's coming to the beach this weekend! Gonna try and work just 1/2 day on Friday and get there early...
OK, really going now!
From Steve on FB
Steven Chase
Looks like there could be a good aurora show in all of New England tonight due to a big solar flare. could be all the way down to NoVA as well...
Hope nothing interferes with his plan to BEACH with you this weekend Paula! And it give me the warm fuzzies to know how well the Nugster is doing!!
Hey there Energizer Bunny Andy!
work work work....but I know you DO play sometimes, Emma makes you do it! How is Ken? His Knee?
We LOVE your bird reports by the way !
I suggested pretty much the same thing to Hedgie about her back...we are on the same track thinking that...
Sure Hope Back All Better Wednesday Lynn...
and all your boo-boo'ed parts too Diann ♥
wonder why last year was such a biggie for LBs?
Hello everyone :) Just thought I'd pop my head in for a minute.
I will be visiting my sister in Washington state next week, from the 13th-21st; we'll be making a side trip during the later part to Idaho, where our grandmother and other relatives live.
I'm really looking forward to the trip!
Hope all of you are well *hugs*
Bird Girl
okay I am headed to New England!
would love to see some of that celestial stuff
O, The Birds on the telly now
The music group, that is ♪ ♫
I'm back...Nugz wanted out...the haze is gone and the moon is clear.
kind of neat how we just sit around at our machines and talk this from time to time ☺
Margy, Caro didn't say why the change.
Love the hootenanny music!
ALERT: 3 hrs. of Bear shows from Dr. Lynn tomorrow night on National Geographic Wild station! I will tape it on VCR for any who can't get it, have a VCR and want to see it. Tape can make the rounds!
ANDY!!! We had a pack o' Springer Pups at work today for their first shots!! Last saw them at 3 days old for their tail cropping :(
TOO MUCH CUTE for one day at work!
One more Margy....
Have a great time, Delphia. Enjoy the visit with your sister and family!
OK, dog wants back in, so I am really going now!
((((Hugs to all♥))))
Lynne 2 I have not seen Lightning Bugs here...I did google them to see what they looked like and I have not see any here.
well we DO make a little more money on the evening and midnight shifts Lynn, I forgot about that until just a little while ago, kind of a nice side-benefit
wonder if Nugster is a'howling at the M☺☺n
Hope Irene is lurking!!!
I saw them here twice! AMAZING!!!!! and SO very rare this far south. Not nearly as good a show as up in the far north, but WOW, what a beautiful sight! It was all over the news because people were calling the local stations to find out what that was making the sky turn colors! Guess that's been about 8 or 9 years ago.....
Goodnight Paula and I am glad Nugster had a great day.
I am also very happy that Liesl is not the worse for wear after her fall...those eyes of hers would have made me feel guilty too!!!
Hello there Birdie!
You will be practically within shouting distance when you are in Washington... hope the weather will be nice for your trip
Good To See You !!
Really don't know about my back, Margy....Liesl incident was too fast I think for me to even react. Maybe just sat still for too long during webpage lessons! Not used to that!!
Oh, definitely, the bridge was damaged when we walked on it (missing boards) but it was still relatively safe at that time.
Hoda, google Synchronized Lightning Bugs of the Smoky Mountains....you'll find some videos and info. It's incredible!!! People plan camping trips for this time of year to see the show! And it's on my Bucket List!
Hey Wait a Minute Lynn!
I got robbed, Caro was moved down off my shift for Saturday...Waaaah!
Omigosh, Lynne2!!!! Good thing I wasn't there, or I would have wanted to take ALL of them home with me!! How big a litter is it?
I remember when we had the "pink" skies around here about 10? years ago, maybe not that long, was the "Northern Lights" then I guess
only other time I saw them was when I was about 5 - remember pretty green and blue colors
My sister lives in Moses Lake, and our grandmother in St Maries (ID). I've never been to Washington before. This is a big trip for me, not just for that.
Only a few of you may recall that I only found my sister last year (she was adopted out at birth), and we met in person for the first time in January. I'll be meeting her daughters and husband (and maybe her son, too, if he comes in from Spokane) for the first time. When we go to Idaho, we'll both be meeting our grandmother and one of our uncles for the first time; she will also be meeting another uncle and our aunt for the first time, I met them both when I was 7.
My family is.....complicated. LOL
Andy---Donna Mauley has a hairline fracture...in a special splint. Says she is doing fine.
Is your transcription still the police stuff? COOL!
oooh, that is Washington STATE, not Washington DC...well, maybe you will be within shouting distance of our HODA, Delphia
Have a Great Time !!!
Group of people help to save a hawk in the street
Magpie, I remember the auroras being visible here in Arizona about ten years ago, my mother had just moved here and called me. She had seen them growing up in Idaho, and was amazed to see it this far south.
Lynn, sorry to hear about your back. Does Vicodin keep you awake like it does to me?
Made an appointment with my "pain" doc for another injection. Can't lift the left leg which is why I stumbled and fell 'up' on the porch.
My baby sis also visited this weekend. She lives outside Memphis but she wasn't in the flooding area; thank God. It was nice to see and talk to her. She only comes 'home' about twice a year to check up on daddy's doings.
Hoda, I'll take your weather any time; all the time. It's going to get hot and humid here again. Like JO, the humidity makes it hard for me to breathe.
Lolly, I'm also worried about July and August's weather. This has been too hot too soon.
That's a BIG Reunion, Delphia...
or UNION for the first time.
Take your Camera and a new SD card !
Andrea...whose the beauty on your avatar ? Striking !
We are ROARING towards a SPLIT !!
Get yourselves READY !
Oh--here is a picture of our now-13-year-old granddaughter, Courtney, that Hubby sent home from his work today. She is looking SO grown up lately! Jen has sent me a bunch of pictures to view on Snapfish, also, so will have to share a few of those with you, too.
PINK SKIES!!! Yep, I remember that!
Andy, it's a litter of 7! 2 Liver and White and the rest Black and White!
Oh yes my camera is definitely going with me, and a 4GB jumpdrive too LOL
