Good Morning MARGY. SO glad you are here. I'll pour you a cup of Earl Grey as you watch the landing it will be calming to the nerves.
The nest is getting lighter in just the few minutes since I last mentioned it.
6 1/2 minutes to entry interface for Atlantis...36 minutes away from landing. AMAZING that they can re-enter in such a short period of time...God Speed Atlantis, I keep saying it so do bear with me...
1600 miles an hour is the speed of the craft!!! Stunning, I bet no blogger cops or any othr kind of cops would issue her a ticket...
Sixteen thousand miles an hour is what I meant to type...
It is descending at a rate of 500 feet per second!!!
A good crowd building outside the Johnson Space Centre
That would be Kennedy Space Centre not Johnson...too early in the morning for me...LOL
Landing in Florida not Texas...
What would be neat, Hoda , is if we would have an Eagle land in the nest same time as Atlantis touches down
simply amazing all of it, isn't it
Glad to spend the morning with you here ☺
I took live feed down...couldn't do a thing with that on
there is a crowd at Johnson in Houston also Hoda...you heard it right !
Landing site is well lit and "wheel stop" is due in 26 minutes.
the Moon at about half full and waning, nearly overhead here, and Jupiter is the nest brightest object to it East
There is a slight wind at the Sycamour Palace nest site
MARGY That would be SOOOOOO exciting if Belle or Truder landed in the nest at the same time Atlantis touches down.
18 minutes to touchdown...God's Speed Atlantis!
Astronauts back on the air !
ISS saw Atlantis' plasma as they re-entered earth atmosphere...AMAZING...
I'm looking for some women in the control room, don't see any yet...but we have commented before, all the shirts and ties...so professional looking
If Truder WOULD land, then Atlantis might be an alternatre name for him - just a thought
ISS will pass over the Cape and be visible to the sight 9 minutes before Atlantis lands
My grandson James's mother, (My stepdaugher) is in Fort Myers Beach Florida...if she would be up - she would see someting as it flies over...
brother has a place in Naples but he is in Connecticut now
ISS going to fly over Kennedy 9 mins before Atlantis touches down, how neat is that...
LOL- Hoda
We are derfinitly perking up to the same kinds of information ☺
Atlantis slowed down from 25 times the speed of sound to 10 times the speed of sound...Stunning
I hope Judy is up, she would hear the Sonic booms 3 or so mins before touchdown, as we should on the TV
Ten minutes to touch down.
Our Phantom Eagle and MARGY and me are cheering for Belle and Truder to come down
I'm here....y-a-w-n.....
Good Morning Lynn!!
Was hoping you would join us !!!
There she is!
Good Morning Lynn I am on my second pot of Earl Grey Tea, I will pour you a cup...Good to see you ...
If Truder lands at the same time as Atlantis I would vote with you MARGY that his new name become Atlantis...
Heard the booms.
Final lap around the center.
That would be so EXCITING to hear the Booms, I wonder if JudyE will hear them???
Colour at the nest.
Thanks, Hoda---have my iced tea at hand!
No real concerns for safety at this point....home free, shall we say! AMEN!
One minute till TOUCH DOWN... GOD'S SPEED ATLANTIS.
TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Excellent.....and sad...:(
There is a touch down and she is back THANK GOD.
Final stop......
Good to share with you both, Hoda and Margy.
Good job for sure, NASA....and God bless America.
Back to bed for me. Later, fellow space lovers.
AmaziNG sight to see her come into view...Commander reports Wheel Stop and an end of AMERICA. As I havew often heard it chanted and as I repeat USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!
God Bless you all and your ingenuity and strength and sense of adventure.
I guess Truder likes being called Truder and did not want a name change...NO eagle has landed at the nest yet...
Prayer before touchdown, and now the prayer after touchdown.
Thanks be to God ...
and to the entire Mission Team
Part of my comment was eaten by the blooger cop!!!END OF AMERICAN SPCAE SHUTTLE PROGRAM IS WHAT I TYPED.
Not end of America God Forbids.
Hoda
Truder missed an excellent opportunity didn't he !
It's a joy, your enthusiasm for our things here in the States........Thank You !!! xoxo ♥
I second that MARGY Thank God and the crew...
Night Lynn. Cool that you heard the booms.
there will probably be some replays of the landing from different angles pretty soon
Knew what you meant to type Hoda ! ☺
I am impressed by how professional the landing team effort is.
going to sneak out and water the plants in between watching the site
Our Eagles are probably out fishing !
I heard the booms too, was glad the man had stopped talking just a second beforehand
from touchdown to wheel stop,
64 seconds...
The live feed seems frozen. I refreshed the camera an there is not a leaf moving and it is till very still the timer is on...
Maybe like MARGY said they are out fishing and will not be here this morning??? I will wait a bit longer just to make sure and then I will give my bed another go.
So pretty in Florida around where the space shuttle has landed. It is full day light and the colours are soft and what a wonderful history the shuttle Atlantis has...I wonder what they will do with it now???
Slight movement in the leaves at the nest so I kow the camera is not frozen...
KAY have a GREAT visit with your friend. Keep us posted. Lunch sounds good for her noon arrival...stay cool both...
How are the plants MARGY? Do you water them every day?
Hoda
Yes, try to, either late in evening, or early in the morning
I fill gallon-water bottles then pour into Watering Can, I only have the plants here in front of the apartment
many in containers and a few in the ground
Atlantis will go on display....but I can't remember where...
and add to your comments:
Best wishes for a Great Fun Visit with your Original Best Friend, Kay...☺
and Good Morning GLori, when you have a peek in today and
Hello and Hugs to you, Mom Nancy and your Dad and Family xo ♥
Well it is now 6:38 AM EDT and I guess that makes it a NO SHOW for the resident eagles.I hope they have a great day...Truder certainly missed an opportunity to have votes for a name change...what was he thinking I wonder??? LOL
It is very still here Hoda...no air movement to speak of
my plants overall look good, especially my Megan Flowers ! but tomato production is very low :(
astronauts are getting out of the Shuttle sooner than I expected...hope to see them before I have to leave for work
better start saying my exit greetings ! but I'll be watching
Best Wishes for a Great Day, Everyone
xoxo ♥
Great spending the morning with you Hoda ♥
MARGY I tried tomatoes las tyear and they were slow growing here too. I only get morning sun where I had the pot and while I got a few ripe tomatoes I get a lot fo fried green tomatoes at the endo of the season.
Thanks for telling me that Atlantis is going to go on Display...this is what has happened to Endeavour also.
Good morning Lori and Family. I second MARGY's Prayers to you and to your Mom and Family. May there be good news today as to your Mom's progress.
JUDYE will be with Jordyn today...I bet they will have fun visiting parks.
Have a GREAT DAY MARGY...It was wonderful to spend time with you at the Sycamour Palace Café. Also with Lynn...
OK Flight control handed off Atlantis to the ground crew. An historic moment...BBL
Except for our Phantom Eagle no visits to the nest from Belle or Truder this morning.
astronauts will be out of the transport vehicle NOW , then they willl do that walkaround of Atlantis and say a few words
Good morning eagle peeps.
Is it morning already? Again? HA!
CBS 20-year space reporter says that the landing is like a funeral....disappointment, bittersweet, etc. Our astronauts will now have to pay Russia $60G per seat to travel to ISS. Sure cheaper than a shuttle, but just how much can we REALLY trust them and their technology???
Hi, Thelma! Did you get up to watch the shuttle landing?
Sure hope Hoda got back to sleep----truly the middle of the night for her up there in BC!
Before I went back to bed, I changed the channel to CBS news....their on-tarmac image was much better than the NASA image.
Left TV on so news could help me get back to sleep. The stupid Beggin' Strips commercial made Liesl start barking at 7:15.....so still no sleep-in for me.
Hey Hedgie-no I didn't see the landing but wish I had known about it I was up until about 5:30 this morning. Urg Where can I see it replayed?
Have to bake a cake. Christie's b-day celebration is this afternoon....she has been on such a strict diet/exercise regimen...and she decided she wanted a couple of pieces of chocolate cake with choco/PB icing...so will just give her two pieces...and a couple for Shannon, and guess I will just have to eat the rest! Big sacrifice on my part, huh??? LOL!
So...going to go bake the cake!
Quiet this morning.
Later my fine eagle momsters and dadsters.
LORI, I don't know about honorary, but I can be onery, that's for sure !
WANDA, thanks for the fruit salad hint ! It's going to be yummy and pleasing to the eye, thanks to you !
What a lump in the throat landing we had today ! Saw it in replay on The Today Show. I'm so much sadder than I realized I'd be. It hit hard to realize it's the last in my lifetime. The emotion in the voices of the Commander and the ground crew choked me up. What an amazing era !
Morning, all!
Tbird, are you becoming a night bird?
Missed the shuttle this morning, saw the replay. Bittersweet moment for sure. I wish we were continuing the program...
Lori, Hope your Mom is feeling up to some breakfast this morning! So, she's a whirling dervish, eh? :-)
Oh Tbird, give all those doggies a belly rub and a biscuit from me!
Lori, bet you are missing your animals! Go see the birds!
On this day in history: In 1861, the First Battle of Bull run in Manassas,VA was fought---the first MAJOR battle of the Civil War. The Confederates won in a terrible rout....and DC society picnic-ed on a hillside to watch. Bunch of dummies.
HODA, MARGY n' LYNN, enjoyed your commentary on the Atlantis landing ! Sorry Truder and/or Belle declined our open invitation yet again.
Hi THELMA, always good to "see" you've put in an appearance--just wish it were more often !
HODA, I, too, appreciate the enthusiastic interest you take in the USA ! We hear too little here about events in Canada, our good, solid, dependable neighbor to the north.
Time to put the finishing touches on "companies coming" things. I know I won't be here much for a couple of days, but will be thinking of and praying for you all ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Oh, HODA, make that neighbour, how bout it ? ☺
Good Morning all! Or is it? So there I was, on the potty, barely awake, when suddenly in a fraction of a nano second I heard it coming from behind me and WHAM right into the back of my head....STINKBUG. What a fabulous way to start a day. NOT!!!
Then, I opened the door to take the dogs out for a walk and WHAM...the "Maryzon" in full hot humid force. GROSS!!!
But.....(and I borrowed this from Glo's FB status this morning)
"I was going to complain again about how hot it is, and then I realized that at least... 1) It isn't 110 degrees; 2) I'm not 5,700 miles from home; 3) I'm not dressed in a full BDU uniform & helmet & carrying 70+ lbs.; & 4) There is very little chance that anyone will shoot at me or that I might drive over a bomb in the road today! Thanks to all who serve!!"
DanaMo has posted that she is sitting by the pool drinking coffee this morning in sunny CA! Sure wish I had a pool!
Kay, hope you and your company have a great visit!
Did not make it for the Atlantis landing this morning, but enjoyed reading the comments from Hoda, Margy and Lynn. Thank God they are home safe but so sad it's over....
T-bird....if you have the NASA channel they replay it often. Otherwise, nasatv.com probably has the video replay available.
Good morning Eagle friends from not so sunny right now California. Very overcast here in Anaheim. I'm sitting a the pool while everyone else is asleep.
Got a report from my dog sitter that "nothing is broken,eaten, or ruined" So sweet that he knows I am worried about the dogs. I told him to text me and I wouldn't bother him!
Eeew gross Lynn@ how I hate those stink bugs and how they dive bomb on you! Yuck! What a way to wake up!
DanaMo---sorry the sun isn't shining....remember the song "It never tains in southern California?" Not true!! But sure doesn't happen often, so maybe it's just a morning haze!
Glad that things are going well at home.
Do you realize how close you are to Andy (Ms. Bookworm)??? She lives im Anaheim! And Jim (movin') is nearby in Santa Ana. Too bad you all didn't arrange a gathering!
I didn't know that. I am not familiar enough with all our eagle momsters and dadsters. That would have been fun!
Just saw that my battery is low and I'm out at the pool. Guess I have to go plug in:( I was enjoying the company.
BFN!
Good morning! Has taken me forever to catch up on reading the blog.
Thanks HODA, MARGY, and LYNN for the play by play description of the Atlantis return. HODA, you were certainly up early for it!!
glad the dogs are behaving...so far!
Well Lynn, I don't think it ever TAINS in So. Ca. LOL!!!
Lori, thinking of you again today. Do hope it is a good day for your Mom and that going home soon is a sure thing.
I called my sister yesterday and they released Dan yesterday morning and they are home! He is on pureed food for a week and has two doctor appointments next week. Please continued prayers for his recovery. They were so excited to be home. Have already received an email from Dan.☺
Lynn, sounds like Liesl is doing so well with her schooling. Smart little pup!
great news Lolly!
Didn't tell you that we had a scare with Annie. When we returned from out night stay in Dallas we had to go searching for her. She was behind a chair in a guest room. Even canned food did not lure her out. That really concerned me, but she eventually came out and ate. We kept an eye on her and she is back to normal.
Think I am going to mosey outside. Need to do some dead heading with my daisies. 84 right now, but the humidity is up. Groan!
Good Morning
Great Healing News about Dan, Lolly
Atlantis is being towed to wherever they take it next can't remember what they call it,. and I don't have sound here at work...
Site:
NASA TV
Laurel and family will be home tonight. They stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel in Memphis last night.
Joseph pulled a tooth while traveling to NJ and then pulled another tooth yesterday. I told Laurel they better get home fast before he removed all his teeth in boredom. LOL
He could be a toothless wonder very soon, Lolly...
right better hurry on home !
ttfn
back to work
but I am watching that slow tow
of the Atlantis....so slow it appears some people are walking along with it in front
wish I could be there to see that
xoxo
seeing some large soaring birds along that towing route but have no idea what I am seeing
one white, a few are black
wonder if any are eagles !!
gotta go
Was watching it, Margy. Very slow! Had to check to make sure they were even moving. No sound here either. Did see a gull fly by!
Poor Lynne2 and the SB's. UGH!
Ha,ha---I fat-fingered that, didn't I, kiddo?! Nope, no tain in CA!
DanaMo, if you want to try to hook up, holler and i'll give you contact info.
Margy, it's as slow as moving the Hatteras lighthouse was!
Looly, glad your girl is almost home....she'll have to play tooth fairy tonight. Great news about Dan!!!
Sorry.....LOLLY not Looly!!!
Gonna bid you all adieu....have truck inspection and oil change and then the girls and I are having Christie's birthday lunner!! She chose Buffalo Wild Wings. Made her a little half-cake!
See you all this evening. Have a good afternoon.
Good Morning Eagle Loved Ones.
Those Momster prayers are powerful indeed!
LOLLY, wonderful news about Dan. Prayers will continue during recovery.
Thank you HODA and MARGY for being today's Early Birds. Margy, a space shuttle name is an excellent idea for Truder. We had the disasters with Challenger and Columbia, perhaps those would be fitting and a tribute to our shuttle program we loved so much. Challenger could mean many things.
If anyone else needs blue purple Columbine seeds I have lots and would be happy to mail them. Also black eyed
Susans and tall pink (purple) coneflower seeds.
Mom is doing VERY WELL this morning! We have turned the corner. She's eating and walking and feels well.
PAULA, I do miss my babies, but I talk to KATE every night and morning and get a full report. All is well.
Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes. I love and adore you all !!! Really. A lot. ; )
Yea, Lori!!! So very happy for the good report. Your Mom is to be admired! More (((gentle hugs))) for her. I love it...Faith, Hope and Lily Hugs! I think we have some more words to add to our Momster dictionary.
Just came in from the yard...I am drenched in sweat. Humidity is way up...staying in now.
Jack is on new pills for his neck and he is clobbered!! I do NOT like that!
LOL Lynn! Lolly, Looly, Hey You...I answer to it all!
Good early afternoon! Thanks to Hoda, Margy and Lynn for this morning's
commentary on the landing of Atlantis.
Emotional for sure.
I'm not moving fast today (or any other day)I feel great but just thinking about the heat makes me slow down. Lolly I don't know how you manage the heat and work so much in your beautiful
yard.
Thanks Wanda for last night's comment to Joseph and Anthony.
Hahaha. I posted on the Monday thread at least an hour ago....

More adventures this morning, but I've got the computer going and on the INet again.
A possible malware program (SYSTEM PROGRAM) tried to access the Internet before I got on it and was blocked by McAfee. I'll see what I can find later, but there's a chance it's left over from the trojan I had.
I hope you are taking the fluids you need and hanging in there. Have a beautiful day.
C(°?°)3 Jim
LOL DanaMO, good dog report!
Lynn, have fun with the girls!
Lolly, great news on Dan!
GRACIOUS ME!! It is almost ten in the morning and I just got up from my second sleep...WOW!!! I am more surprised than anything...LORI checked in and good news about your Mom Lori.
LOLLY also excellent news about DAN and I am glad they are home and communicating by email. Laurel is soon going to be home and how cute about Joseph pulling teeth...
I had better get my day started, late late late, but enjoyed my morning visit with MARGY and LYNN.
DANAMO good report from the home front and I hope you enjoy your time in California.
KAY While you are "o't an' bout" enjoy your visit with your friend. Your Neighbour to the North has lots of gratitude love and respect to our neighbour to the South...as my students used to say, " you guys Rock"...
HODA we love having you as an Early Bird!
JO, I smile and enlarge your kitty avatar every time I see it. Adorable!
Lolly, I just looked back and saw my window and then phoned UPS with a special pick up for a package to you...MY!!! but the heavens have opened with showers so strong...so the package has a special key for Texas Showers.
Have a fun time Lynn! Maybe another
lunchtime Margarita would be nice..
My day is slowing passing me by
I think I will go ahead and pull out
some clothes to pack for long weekend
down at the beach. Take me a while
to make decisions on what and how much to pack - I always over pack and just
bring it all home as clean as it went!
Feet up first!
FB: Candy and Hubby went to the pool
Sounds refreshing!
Hoda....can hardly wait for my package!!!! Would be so very nice. I know I should be very please with how well the immediate yard is looking, however, I know what the water bill will look like. It would horrify all of you! And, it really hurts to look at the yard "down front.". No pecan crop, not enough water to fill out the nuts. :(
This is Remembering the Men who Served.THE EFFORT OF ONE PERSON
L♥RI I'm sending lots of love and (((hugs))) your way for you and your Mom and Dad. I am so happy our prayers have been answered and your Mom is recovering so nicely. Praise God!!
I, too, got goose bumps reading your message and feel the same way about this wonderful loving supportive and uplifting group. You'll not find a better group of prayer warriors!!
I've only had the chance to check in once or twice a day over the past few days, but have searched for your posts and information on how your Mom has been doing.
May your Mom continue to gain strength with each passing hour and may God heal her body in His time so she can regain her life back better than before!!
Love you bunches , L♥ri!!
I love you Momsters, too!! You're all the BEST!
The marine post was from an email from Lynn. Thanks LYNN.
Good Afternoon Eagle Pals!!
I've missed being able to join in on the conversations, but it has been a very busy week for me. Sometimes you just don't know what is ahead!!
Hope everyone is taking measures to keep cool in this horrible heat. Our thermometer in the shade was 102° about 30 minutes!!! Yikes!!
Lolly - Glad to hear your BIL Dan is home and hopefully resting comfortably.
Okay......back to work!!
BBL
Thanks for the laugh Stink Bug attack in the Throne Room is no room safe from those pesky little buggers
Went to see Winter the Dolphin Jordyn never gets tired of see him She is down for a nap at 1 when we got back I am upload a few video of today venture out Need to put laundry on Just had to say thanks for the play by play of the landing I was out side when it came down and heard the boom was watching the TV from the front door outside interesting thing to be doing in the dark by yourself no one else was out in your night shirt also I was surprised I
Oh I forgot to tell you I checked out the price for three peppers at work a yellow a read and a orange is 3.98 not bad for all three I think it was 1.88 each sold separately BBL doing some work while she is out
Good afternoon.
Congratulations to the Atlantis crew and all their support.
DanaMo, so glad you arrived safely and were able to enjoy some time outside. Sure hope it doesn't tain while you're visiting. Glad you received a good dog report.
Lori, good news about your Mom's improvement. Yes, doing too much too soon is common for bypass patients. She will quickly learn physical limitations.
Lynn, if you are really concerned about leftover cake, I would be more than happy to relieve you of that huge responsibility. Have a nice birthday celebration.
Lolly, good news about Dan. Know you are relieved he is doing so well. Ah, we have James the Wise and Joseph the Toothless.
I like the name Atlantis better than Truder. JMHO.
Lynne2, not to be too indelicate but I suspect you took care of business very quickly this morning.
Kay, suspect your guests have arrived. Do have a wonderful visit.
Jo, I am sorry I left your address on my desk last night. I promise the grumpy sandperson will NOT find your b___h address.
Took a long-time friend to lunch today for her birthday. We had a nice visit. The heat is truly oppressive. Soaking wet from car to restaurant.
Hi Hoda.
Going to put my feet up. Maybe a nap.
LINDA, thanks I needed that message.
I'm outside on the cafeteria patio and don't know whether to cry or get some sleep. MOM was doing so well this morning, then the nausea kicked in again and she didn't mention it until a few minutes ago...Three hours after it started. I understand not wanting to be a pain, but .... UGHHHHHHHH! That is not anger. It is utter discouragement. Now she is not eating again and whole cycle begins once more. I immediately called the nurse - Praise GOD for Emily, today's nurse - who came in with the Zofran in her hand and gave it right away.
So after my father returned from the cafeteria for lunch, I told him what happened and said if the doctor comes and I'm not here you'll know what to tell him. He said he didn't understand any of it, and I would have to write it down for the doctor. Major UGHHHHH!
I'm sorry if I sound ungrateful. I'm just discouraged...AND so thankful I have this wonderful family for love and support. Thank you!
Blessings to all for a wonderful, safe and healthful day...and praying for cooler weather tomorrow. Big Hugs everyone!
Hi, Everyone,
Finally got a bit of relief from my neck last night, and slept in late today--not a good thing. Have a LOT of transcription to try to get done, so I can turn it in at school tonight.
Hubby did wake me up to see news coverage of the Shuttle landing early, early this morning. Hope most of you got to see it. Haven't had a moment to read back here.
Will check in later tonight, after school. Praying for everyone, and all our pets and favorite critters.
HAGD, everyone! Later.... :o]
Judie has a new word for us tain and I thought I was the only one lately making up new words don't feel so lonely any longer LOL
SO DANAMO stay out of the tain if it occurs LOL I was just passing by the puter and it made me sit down Yep it sure did so I read a few post backwards I don't know why I do that it does get confusing that way OK BBL again more stuff to do and see if I can tear myself away
Hello, Eaglegang!! What day is it?
I guess it's TH, my day off 'cuz I had Dr. appt!!
Went out to check flower pots & after about 5 minutes, head got soppy & was under umbrella!Have seen 2 hummers, but it's usually Bad Boy chasing a girl away from feeder.And he never sits in sun to pose!
Gotta do some stuff, so BBL
Hang in there, Lori! Thank goodness you're there to see what's going on---hope you don't get too tired! Blessings to all of you!
DANAMO good to hear your baby is behaving with the babysitter LOL
OK I'm cornfused who made up the word tain?? I read it in the backward reading and now I am reading it in the morning blog Oh I am so cornfused LOL
Hi JudyE. Hope you and Jordyn are having a fun day. I can't take credit for our newest word. Lynn made a type earlier and I stole it.
Loretta, only creature moving outside for me to watch is a wasp. Desperately trying to find a way in to the AC. Don't know how the outside critters survive...guess far too many do not but I choose not to think about it. Hope dr. appt. was okay. Drove by a Ledo Pizza a few days ago and thought about you.
Andy, glad you neck is improving and hope you get all the transcription done for tonight.
that would be "Lynn made a typo"
Lori, (((Big Lily Hope and Faith hugs))) for you.
Tell your Mom not to worry about seeming like a PIA, but if something is wrong, she needs to let you know right away.
The recovery process is more about baby steps than anything else. Once you get past this hurdle, she'll heal.
And that's what we're here for...encouragement, love and support. Go take a walk, grab a snack, some coffee. Take a little time for yourself.
Oh, Lori, I am so sorry your mother has had a small setback.
It does sound like you need to get some sleep yourself. Maybe, if it is possible, a small trip outside the hospital would be a good idea. Find a nearby restaurant or a place to get a good book--air conditioned, of course.
And remember, we are thinking about you. Do take care of yourself.

they are fun to do and is very addictive save in your favorites that what i do
I will BBL. Need to get some things done.
This is for Lori MOM Nancy A hug ok it can be for everyone ok BBL going to go to Angies to eat dinner
Thanks LORETTA, PAULA, SHIRLEY and all. Nice to hear thoughts from calm people! Bless you. I guess my earlier frustrations are typical at this point. Sleep will help. The doctor was in and said the nausea doesn't usually last this long, but it's not unusual, nor is the lack of appetite. He said she would be going home on Saturday, maybe tomorrow if she wanted to! She is healing well and is not having pain, thank heavens.
I actually laughed when I got back to her floor because I walked smack into her doctor! Dang, Momster prayers at work again. I love you all.
Lori, those are two good things...healing well and no pain! Guess the appetite will return soon enough! Get yourself a good dinner! I know, I know, don't feel guilty about it!
(((Hugs))) Lori! Hang in there! Prayers for the nausea to pass and for her appetite to return. Wish I lived closer to sit with your Mom and give you a rest.
Lori, good news about your Mom. I know it can be frustrating. (((((HUGS))))) to you! Funny about running into her doctor. Momster prayers are really powerful things!
Good early evening.
Back from a very hot but nice afternoon. 104° in town, 100° here! SO oppressive. But we aren't shoveling snow or sliding on ice, so it's okay!
Had a yummy lunnner....and Christie got a chuckle out of her half-cake!
Now to catch up with all y'all!
Ooohhh---see a huge horsefly on the window....sure glad it's outside! Their bite is so nasty!
Lori, what a great Mom report!!! She's on a roll, isn't she???!!! Hope she doesn't overdo!
Jo, one thing I will do if we get a house is leave clothes there so that all I have to pack is puter, toiletries and Liesl!!!
Wonder if Candy has made it to the beach yet???? She's only a couple of miles away and had said she hadn't gone even once this year!
Linda, glad you had a few minutes to drop in. How are the baby bunnies doing?
JudyE---your pepper prices are much more reasonable....guess they are grown in FL, right??
Judie....come have a piece of cake for dessert! I know what you mean about just walking acorss the parking lot! SO glad that I have remote start....truck was cooled when I got back in! Sure helps me breathe! I like Challenger for a new Truder name!
Lori , you can vent to us anytime. But don't be discouraged! Her symptoms are not too unusual. They should be giving the Zofran on a set schedule for 3 days. Prayers continue!
Lolly, what med did they put Jack on now?
Hi, Lowreeda! Stay inside!!!! My hummers are NOT eating.....this air is probably too heavy for them to fly much!
No Margarita or other alolcholic beverage with our meal today, except Shannon did have a beer. I wasn't in the mood for anything flavored in this heat!
Wishing them luck
Sorry I drove everyone away!
Stiff breeze at nest.....leaves are blowing away from cam!
Heading for sofa......see you later!
Thanks for sharing the link, Lynn. Sad story about the poor animals.
While I like Atlantis better than Truder, I really like Challenger best. Very appropriate in several ways.
Glad Lynn and company had a nice lunch.
BBL
Good Evening - I have a piece of strawberry pie for later...
Lynn - Candy, I think, mainly goes to a
pool - they went today and it was closed
due to thundering...
If I went down more often to the house I
would definitely have nothing to take
except my oxygen equipment and Me.
The news station in order to cool viewers ran a segment of our snow storm and it did help for a while.
Lorie - glad you ran into your mom's dr in the hallway instead of sitting in her room waiting. With the heat I hope he keeps her another day even though there is AC in their home.
Lolly - Jack's meds are knocking him
off his feet but are they doing any good
for his neck? I sure hope so..
I agree that Challenger is very
appropriate for Truder if we change names.
Whoops ging to watch my TV game shows
BBILW
Sorry, I like the names BUT Truder is Truder and always will be.
Jack's neck is no better with the meds. I am worried. He will return to the doctor after our trip but I am worried about that. He is the driver and the trailer tow--er. LOL He is a tow-er not a tower. ☺
Laurel is home! Yea! Praise the Lord for a safe trip.
I hope Jack is able to enjoy the trip
I know you both love the beach......
Gosh, whirling thoughts -- it's another "We are the World." The starvation in Africa/Somalia/Horn Region of Africa is back where it was in the early 90's, So sad and appalling is the fact that it's not even the headline - it's on the fourth page!!! USA Today had a puny piece on it today, and Brian Williams did a great job with the story tonight. I wish I could post the link. OMG!
JUDYE you are the link goddess, or can someone find the link. I feel like a turd that I was complaining today and truly there are starving people in Africa.
I love you all more than you will ever know. You have literally carried me through this with your support, kind words of wisdom, advice, prayers and just letting me post!
Big Lily, Faith and Hope hugs (I love that!).
Lori, is this it? Not Brian Williams, but it is the facts.
African Famine
Lolly, sure hope your tow-er improves a lot before you head out. Laurel will do a busy turn-around to get laundry done and re-pack!!
I guess Hoda has dragon boat this eveing, doesn't she? Wouldn't it be lovely to be on the water?
Still 98° here....whew!
Right, Judie...Challenger has several fitting connotations to the nest situation.
Thanks Lynn - I can't enter in link code, but here's the copy and paste to the Brian Williams story tonight.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43848138#43848138
It's a slow night on here - where is everyone?
Lynn, thanks for the info on Zofran being a 3 day course. Thank heavens we have you on the medical squad here!
Oh, LORI, Bless your heart for all you've been through this week. I know you're feeling our love, but my heart just breaks for you and the emotions that you're experiencing. One minute you think things are going great and the next, all you know what breaks loose.
Will she be okay, if they send her home while still experiencing so much nausea? Do they give her a shot that works right away or does she take something by mouth?
It's so amazing to think she could go home so soon after such MAJOR surgery. It's scary!
Like I said, I keep checking in to see what is going on with you and your Mom praying continually! You're so often on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers throughout my days!!
We do have a strong bond here. If one is suffering, we all suffer!! We're right here with you, Dear One!!
Praying that this night is truly a turning point with restful and healing sleep for your Mom. May God awaken her in the morning with a renewed sense of energy and no nausea!!
Bless You, Lori ♥♥♥
You can copy the link above and it will still pick up the entire link even tho it looks cut off. Computers are amazing.
Hoping KAY is having a rip roaring time strolling down memory lane with her guests.
HODA, the Eastern US is so envious of you being in cool BC and on the water!
LOLLY, are you having to drive everywhere with Jack being looped? I sure hope it's helping his neck.
LYNN, loved your idea of having a vacation home and not having to pack to go there! Brilliant!
It really is wonderful to be new as I am, and yet feel so much a part of such a wonderful group.
I can't wait for a get together!!
I saw where Lynne mentioned Steve wanted a get together in the fall because he likes the group, too. If at all possible, even if it is more of a local event, I'd love to try and make the trip!!
I want to meet the people I care so much about face to face!!
Good evening,
I like Challenger for a name, too. But it is a very long word when we are typing in a hurry, so we would need a nickname. Chal? Chall? Chally? I vote for Chal.
Made a lemon meringue pie for dinner. It had been a very long time since I've done that. I love lemon meringue pie on a hot summer day.
I got Hunter to help me beat the meringue, thinking he would be impressed with what happens to that little bit of egg white. He kept talking about soapsuds.
I was a bit worried that it might just sit uneaten. Shouldn't have been concerned. It is already more than half gone.
Thank you so much LINDA. That is so nice. I am so grateful for your good thoughts and prayers.
They won't let her go home if she is still feeling barfy - sick of all the med terms! LOL.
The Zofran they've been giving her goes in a line and it's working within 30 min., but it only lasts 4 - 5 hours.
She was definitely so much better when I left tonight and had had a bit of chicken noodle soup, some fruit and a few bites of sherbet. I was very proud of her telling the nurse to just come in and give her the Zofran at 10 or 11, not to wake her up and ask if she needs it, just give it to her! Go MOM!
LYNN, with Zofran being narcotic, would Fenergan (sp) be a better choice?
How is your garden LINDA?
Nothing interesting on TV to speak of so
I may as well get the carryall out and
fill it - therefore I will be ready for
tomorrow noon and I won't need to get up
super early and pack!
LINDA, we would come and pick you up if we had something and you tried NOT to be here!
SHIRLEY, I love your idea of pie for dinner...yummy and Lemon Meringue! I'll grab a piece in the cafeteria tomorrow in your honor! LM & Coconut Cream are my favorites...and peach pie... and cheese cake...
LORI - You are welcome!! I've just been so worried about you and unfortunately had a horribly busy week!
The garden is doing great so far.....I don't do the work, Dennis does. We are going to have a ton of grapes, rasberries, strawberries, blueberries and some other kind of berry that is golden.
Corn is about 3.5' tall already and we're starting to see tassles on some! Tomatoes are looking good, too, but not ready for another month. Lots of potatoes and squash out there, too.
My flowers aren't doing so well this year, though. Those darn japanese beetles even got to my clematis and trumpet vine. I thought they only liked the grapes!!
I've been either out of town or working more than I would have liked to so far this summer, so I am behind on weeding!
LYNN - The bunnies are GONE!! I think they're under the pine trees with Mom! We've seen a few hopping around the yard just before dark. Dennis thinks Mom Bunny moved them. I stayed away because I didn't want to scare them off of bring any attention to them. We went and checked last night and they weren't there anymore. She even filled up the hole where the babies had been. Her hair and the leaves were still there, though. Amazing!!
Awe...thanks Lori! That's so sweet. I know there are some who wouldn't be able to make the distance, but I figure I may only be about 5-6 hours away. It would be worth the trip, for sure!!
JO, what is the name of your cat in the avatar. He/she gives me an ear to ear smile every time I see it. Way too cute!
Lolly, I have not kept up with everything too well the past few days, but has Jack tried one of those soft neck brace things? I had a terrible time with my neck once, and my doctor told me to get one, put it on, and go back to work.
I was afraid to drive because I could not turn my head. The thing worked wonders in more ways than one. I had no trouble driving.
One of my ninth grade classes liked to play around. When they came to class and saw me wearing that thing, one of the girls said,"Hey, guys, we have to be good today. Mrs. Phillips can't be looking around to see what we are up to." Loved it!
Please excuse me if Jack already is wearing one. Would be kind of hot right now, but that is what air conditioning is for.
JO - I love your cat, too!! Looks like he/she is very skiddish and not at all comfortable in its own skin!! LOL
My cat does the same thing. She will take off and then just stop in the middle of the floor and flop on her side. She will also just lay there and roll over on her back instead of getting out of the way when you walk by! Too funny!
Oh Lori, I am so happy to learn that your mother is doing well tonight. I usually have some of the same kind of problem when I have had anesthesia. I can't handle Jello. Sweet stuff does not sit well in my stomach at such a time.
Linda - Marvin is a lovey dovey cat
I have 2 cats but he is the only one
that is a lap cat when he wants to be.
His fur is thick and takes him quite
a while to clean himself. Then he'll lie
on his back and start to roll from one
side to the other. He is lots of laughs..
I love Jo's kitty, too
George used to lie on the kitchen floor, asleep on his back with all four paws up. We would walk around him. He has stopped doing that.
Lori - he is my Marvelous Marvin
He was a feral on the side porch until
hubby coaxed him into the kitchen.
The other one is Scar and he also was
a feral cat. He will not allow anyone
to pick him up but he sure is a rub-ber head banger up against your legs.
They get along well except when Scar
just wants to be alone......
Link to news item that Lori saw
Thanks, Lori!
I think that is Jo's cat, Marvin.
Shirley, I am LOL at the soapsuds remark! It's true!
I love Lemon meringue pie too!
Lori, you sound better already!
Okay, you all can stop with the lemon meringue pie, chocolate cake, cheesecake etc. Have gained 55 lbs in the past 5 minutes.
Lori, sure hope you have taken at least some time tonight for yourself. Your Mom is sounding better. Asserting herself. Continued prayers for all.
Jo, the First 48 is on and I haven't seen any of these before. Stop packing and watch!
As promised, I have hidden away from the sandperson all addresses and contact information for momsters. HOWEVER, Sandperson is quite clever and may find a way to to sprinkle sleeping dust into your eyes.
The night light is on for anyone who needs to arise in the dark or who may enter late from the West Coast. Restful sleep for all.
And Lori, glad to hear your Mom ate something!
I have most everything I need at the beach...I do bring down some clothes each time tho, sometimes I can't make up my mind what I want to wear! I do have to make sure I bring my glasses down....
Back again, finally. Watered all the flowers, got ONE pic of hummer boy's red neck, but still in cam. He sits in the tree and watches me & won't come to feeder. I waited him out---knew he had to be thirsty.
Checked some of my picture back-up discs and saved a few. Didn't find everything I'm looking for, & of course no My Docs.Maybe I'll put on a few oldies, but goodies!!Found the sting ray at Cedar Haven!& dwnlded Greece '09 folder!!!
Surprised to hear Nancy may go home so soon!!Way to go!!
My check up w/endocrinologist went well. He said all blood work was fine, but I have to take those toenail pills a little longer. Look out liver, here they come. But I put my teal polish on them this afternoon!!!! TEE HEE & will wear flip flops!Showed the bottle to Dr. & he said I should touch up a car!
BTW, found another yellow vehicle I love. Frankie, J's' Dodge Ram RumbleBee w/ his G'daughter on Halloween '05!
Oh, Linda....whenever we get together, all are welcome....just too far for some to travel too often!! Not sure where Iris lives in relation to you, but she makes it down, and Diann did once before her pain got too bad...so I'm sure you can do it, too!!! And PA is close enough that it's not a real burden. So we can't wait to meet you!
JO - Well Marvin looks to be quite the character. Glad he has the personality to match his handsome looks!! You never know when you get a cat if he's going to be a lovey dovey or not. Some love to be in your lap all the time and others are as independent as they come.
Ours is adorable, loves to be where we are, but isn't much for being held. Her first few months she was constantly on my desk while I worked. Now she has her own chair!!
She adores our border collie so much more than either of us!!
Her name is Gigi!!
Well I am back, I did go out to Dragon Boats this evening and it was windy...white caps on the water and not enough paddlers. We had fifteen people but we needed the full compliment of 22 to take her out safely in the conditions. We watched the white caps and the geese and the ducks trying to make their way through and then they would take to wing and start all over again. We wanted to go out today because we have a "ciy chap" coming in on Saturday to give us a workshop. We shared stories and dried the boat after we bailed her...and stood on the beach just marvelling at it all...we were all wearing jackets and wonder if this is the end of our summer...I hope not!!!
LORI, you are one strong woman and it is a wonderful experience to read your posts because you are so genuine and you say it as you see it. Do not be discouraged and do not put your experience in the light of something else more severe. Both are legitimate and both are a sharing of the human condition. Karma is unfolding in both situations and there are strengths in all of our stories...I am touched for example that with all that is going on in your life and with the upset of your regular routines and away from home and your pets, you have empathy and love and you are touched by the story of what is happening in Somalia. The best we all could do is send them prayers.
JO Is it a long weekend in the US this weekend? Are you simply going to take extra time at the beach house and make a long weekend of it?
Awe....thanks, LYNN!! Iris is about 2 hours south of me. I could pick her up on my way!! LOL!
I can't wait to meet you, too! I hope it will be sooner rather than later!
Wow, Shirley---you're lucky your meringue stood up in this humidity!
LORI----zofran is NOT a narcotic. It's a Selective 5-HT3 serotonin receptor antagonist.
Phenergan does not work as well as Zofran, but is sometimes given in conjunction with it. It tends to dry up secretions, tho', which can lead to dry mouth and throat which might make her cough more, and make it a bit more difficult to eat.
LOLLY - Are you leaving tomorrow? We'll keep Jack in our prayers. Maybe some R&R will do his neck some good!
What in the works is a "a Selective 5-HT3 serotonin receptor antagonist?" LOL
I meant to say What in the world is a a Selective 5-HT3 serotonin receptor antagonist?? That is some big talk, LYNN!!
BWO osprey chicks had a fledge today!
Linda, glad that the bunnies are okay....Mom was probably smart to move them to a safer location...the more active they get, the more attention they will draw from predators.
I love lemon pie but I don't like meringue. I put whipped cream on mine!
Loretta, little bumblebee lass is a cutie! GOod that she has black stripes or she would hardly show against that yellow car!!!
So good that you can take that med. I had an allergic reaction to it.....broke out in great big welts everytime I got in the bath! Itched like crazy!!
We are what we eat? Watch thisDo You know What You are Eating?
Linda, we need a pic of Gigi and her pal!
LOL! Don't ask me to explain it! Here's what wikipedia says:
5 HT-receptors
All about neurotransmittors....where you see the word antiemetic---that's what Zofran is....anti-vomit!
P.S. Emesis means vomit.
Hoda, sorry you couldn't paddle, but sounds like some good fellowship with your crew!
Both the WhiteRock Ealgets have fledged. The female eaglet continues to return to the nest for short naps??? I just saw her napping and then she woke up and took to wing again...Cool
LYNN I find you very smart with your knowledge and very generous with sharing it. Thank you.
I have been thinking about food and where it comes from and the prices of food since JUDYE posted the prices of three peppers at her store today...a lot of our food comes from the US and it is more expensive here than it is in the US, yet it is possible to not have a high food bill by watching what I buy.
Is this just not the greatest group of people I could have happened on to when Hidey was just two days old? YES! Absolutely the greatest!
Glad I'll have my handy dandy IPad with me tomorrow if someone tries to tell me Zofran is a narcotic. Damn (sorry) LYNN you should have been a doctor. You are so smart with all this.
HODA Goddess if peace and wisdom, I love your advice and posts. You point out so many things that I can over look. You have a very grounding presence. I hope to be so zen someday. Working on it.
PAULA, our natural born leader, thanks a million. You were there every moment today with great advice. I did it, too! Nice dinner alone and getting ready for bed now. Bonus biscuit for Nick!
A big hug for Marvelous Marvin the cutest cat in Maryland! Good thing he was never a foster kitten of mine JO - I couldn't give that one up! LINDA, Gigi would probably appreciate some catnip. I'll have to start growing it again.
LYNN, could you please give Leisl a bonus green bean from me tonight? :)
Funny, JUDIE, but my eyes are feeling like they have sand in them now. Hmmmm.
KAY, we missed you tonight.
I'm going to say "May God Bless you enough." It's what people use to bid farewell with, meaning may God give you blessings enough to cover your needs.
Good night all! See you in the morning.
Just came in.
Okay, everyone....let's all head to Linda's. I think there is plenty of fresh food in the garden for all of us.
We do not head to the beach until Monday. Laurel has a lot to do until then. She will come here with the boys Sunday and we will get up and leave early. It is about a 7 hour drive. We will return on Saturday. Do not like being there on the weekend as it is so crowded. My brother, Larry and his wife, Sandy will also be there the whole week. His middle son, Brett, and his family will also be there and we get to see them Monday night. Larry and Sandy will be in their trailer, but Brett and family will be at a motel. He has two children, Shelbie 12 and Talon, 18 months. We are excited to see them.
LOLLY, Talon is a very cool name!
