Really, it was silly how excited I was that it's finally flying. I was just as excited to see that he was not still sitting on top of the barn at sunset, so I'm guessing he was able to fly back down to the ground. I didn't see any parent's helping him. Vulture parents are not nearly as involved as eagle parents seem to be. :)
Thank goodness everything is okay, Lori! We were sure worried. How did your Mom hold up the Kilee-school shopping trek??!! Neat about the BV chick---are you getting pics?
DanaMo--glad your run has made you feel better. You go girl! The week will get magically better tomorrow when you get to hug your boy! Good luck with the CE stuff.
Margy....we've probably shared before, but I gather that you also go to Bonifant/Brookreson, eight? Hope you have a "no cavities, Mom" visit.
Andy---$140 admission price for Disneyland is totally ABSURD! I remember in '79 it was about $18 and we thought that was steep!!! So cool that Jay got to display her art and gets to come back!!!
Wanda, way to go on the clothes closet contribution!!! God works in mysterious ways!
Shirley, Kat made a good decision...I'm sure the shop can get by without her for a few hours!
Good morning! Well, Laurel posted on fb pictures of the three of them ready for school. God bless the school year!
Great to read about all moms doing so well...Lori's mom and GG! 5 years ago this week I lost my mom. Certainly miss her!
Hurrah for the vulture youngster!
Jack has therapy this morning and then off to the dentist. They had an opening so he can get that crown fixed.
Today I start cleaning house. Did nothing with the boys here last week. Will start with their bedrooms. Have a party here next Sunday afternoon. Need to spiff up the place. LOL
Sad...Laurel could not take the boys to school. She had to get to her school early. Joey took them. Then they will walk home together. They live only one block from school and have only one street to cross.
guess I'll go get some Almond Milk fortified with Calcium! This gal plans her meals for 3 months in advance, has them all on the computer...and takes a REAL list to the grocery and farmers markets stores
Knew what you meant Shirley. As it turns out I pulled my cert. up online and I'm good until Dec.2012 which gives me a little room, but I want to get another class taken care of this Fall and spring. I've had several offers from folks at school that will help me get signed up. Good friends, all the way around!
and if I don't stop leaving words out of my sentences I might as well just give it up and go back to bed !
Started "The Help" last night, already can't wait to turn more pages Lolly, saw where you and Laurel have read it...my sister saw the movie yesterday...but she has not read the book yet...she liked it
Good Morning - school for some as others have a few more days of summer freedom. Everyone sounds terrific! Did a catch up read but may have missed some things. I am waiting for Jenny to come over and we are going to see Aaron for lunch! I am so fortunate that the kids include me on their outings!
JO...your kids are fortunate to have you join them on their outings!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
Been working outside, mostly on the deck...was 69°, perfect for working outdoors. Up to 75°. going to be 82°...nice weather all day. Good evening for dinner outside. Now what can I ask the good Capt. to fix? Hmmm? He is working today for Arnie, once again. He has been working every Monday and Thursday since the heart surgery. He is doing well, but, it will be a while before he can go back to work.
I want to read The Help and see the movie, too....but since I am always disappointed in a movie after I've read the book, I plan to see the movie first this time!! There is already Oscar buzz!
I see the morning thread is already far in action.
People have lots to say.
Mattie and Justin start school Thursday - got it Thelma. Hoping they have a good school year.
Hunter meets his teacher today with Kathryn. Hope he likes her.
Margy has a full morning list and taking James for hair cut this evening.
Lolly is cleaning. The boys only have 1 block to get to home. Dad took them to school. Laurel has her class.
Lori have her baby BV flapping his wings HAPPY HAPPY for her and BV. Never thought I would be worried about a BV. Thanks Lori it has been great enjoying this with you.
DanaMo stuffed in a hotel room. Although she did go on 4 mile run. Well that pooped me out!!!!!
Shirley is in a time machine heading into the past.
Need to find out about Judie.
Wanda must have gotten lots of things for cloths closet. Gene is still helping Arnie which is good.
I just went out to feed the little guy and he's up on the roof top again. He saw me sit his food down and look a little anxious to come and get it, but hasn't made the move yet.... ooopps, just saw parent vulture out the window. YEAH!
Awful story for you---BEWARE! Bill found ut that SOMEONE stole his Mom's identity and filed her income tax return (deceased) and it wasn't him! He hadn't gotten her refund...and when he questioned it, learned her filing had been rejected because someone else had already claimed her. Can you believe it?? So now he has to get documentation from the court showing that he is the executor of her estate, copy of death certificate, and some other stuff so the tax attorney can give it all to the IRS before they will open an investigation. They said it happens a LOT---obit trolls, clerks in places with access to SS #'s (Drs. offices, DMV, etc.), or "other" family members......how sick is that?
Sorry to blab on about the black vultures, but I'm so happy for that this surviving chick is making progress, and his parents are here to help him.
SHIRLEY! Surely, now you must be feeling the retirement mode while everyone is talking about and going back to school ... getting their rooms ready etc. :)
Very sad news out of Canada today. The Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, Jack Layton, died of cancer this morning at 4:40 AM. He died at home surrounded by his wife and children. We are a poorer nation with his departure. May he rest in peace.
HODA, when did they release the news about Mr. Layton? I didn't see it before I left work this morning. It is terribly sad, so you and the many people he spent his life serving.
OK lots ofsilly question how does the Butterfly tag go? do you catch them? are they in a field? do you travel to find them? how many people? and where do you release them in the same place they were caught? Told you lots of questions
Hoda I have gone back several times and clicked on the Nelson Team coming in first. I find myself each time pushing my body forward as if to help them lol
See Lynne and Steve must have his parents house all in order. Now it can go on the market. Praying all works out for them. May God help them in the sell and the downsizing.
Yes JudyE was thinking of some of your questions about tagging butterflies myself. For me I just thought they would catch them where they are. Somehow tag them (must be awlful small tag) and then let them go right there. Questions?
In the middle of a down pour and I need to leave for work YUK Gonna check radar maybe I can wait a few min umbrella is in the car good place for it and off course I didn't' park under carport during lunch I am in driveway
LORI they announced the news first thing this morning. Often Canadian news does not make it in the US. I think it was out on the wires by five in the morning eastern time.
SOOOOO Glad that you had a good weekend with your MOM and Keili(sp) shopping for school items. How did your MOM hold up?
DANA I am glad you went for a jog...4 miles very impressive. I hope the issue of signing up for the course is resolved for you...do let us know how it progresses.Does the hotle have a shuttle bus tht can take you to a central place to museums...etc? When you see KAy give her a hug from me too.
YEAY JO is spending the day with family and how GREAT is that...ENJOY JO!!!
Glad to hear the camera is back up again even though with lines and wind is a threat again.
LOLLY aso very glad that Jack was able to get a dental appointment this morning for his crown...is he doing his last minute shopping for the trip today too or will he wait so you can go with him?How long will he be on his canoe trip? He goes canoeing and you have a party there on Sunday???LOL
I shouldn't have said the R word Lolly may be Lurking LOL I do hope that get rain
I sent a email to everyone to let them know cam is up just in case they don't look and I want to thank all of you that responded to my question about taking you off or leaving you on my email list I have taken off the ones that want off Don't want to be intrusive with emails so once again Thanks
WVGAL_DANA, It is so funny because I do the same thing..it was such a close race that I find myself leaning forwards to help them along!!!LOL. Thanks for your support and for your support of the team in cheering for them.
JUDYE you ask some good questions in regrds the butterflies...how do they do that? I hope JUDIE answers...
Oh and another thing while I am waiting for the rain to subside some If I send you a joke, powerpoint slide show Please don't feel obligated to email be back its ok, I just like to pass on them I have several peeps that send me stuff daily and I do delete most of them unless they are short and sweet no long drawn out jokes love the picture jokes but not the reading ones LOL
Lynne I read where your camera is broke. I am very sorry...I love your pictures!!!!! I know you wanted to take more of the horses too. This is silly I know...sometimes I wish I could wiggle my nose and poof like the camera for Lynne would work.
"August 22, 2011 4:20 PM BST by Outdoor Channel Hi all,The live feed went back online earlier today. But, it's very windy out at the nest. It's likely that the feed could go down again. Thanks for your patience."
The above is from the OC site. Glad to have the live feed back up again, for now...
Helloooo ! I'm pleased to be back and happy to report an absolutely glorious few days of reuning with the kids and grands ! My face kind of hurts from smiling and laughing non-stop. ☺ Most activities centered at Julie's and around the pool, but enjoyed a couple of wonderful meals out and the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. I have my house back in order and the laundry all done, etc. You can't even tell they were here, sniff, sniff ! I've read this "page" only and it's answered some of my questions, but raised many others, so I'm going to spend some time trolling for info on what you've all been up to for the last few days.
LYNN, the Help was the best read of 2011,so far, in my opinion ! Looking forward to seeing the movie, but can't imagine it being better than the book. Yikes, identity theft--what a nightmare ! We seem to have so little defense against it. GRrrrrrr.
HODA, sorry to hear Canada has lost a revered leader. :*( Thanks for telling DANAMO to give me a hug ! We'll both be hugging with all our dear Eagle buds in mind, I know ! I'm too pooped to pop today, but will make sure I get plenty of rest to revitalize myself this week and am Sooo looking forward to seeing her and her hubby on Friday !
Hurray, Kay!!! Welcome "home"! We've missed you, but knew you were having much too fun to be here!! So glad everything went perfectly! Did you perchance eat at the Squadron?? Yep---I have a one-track mind! Want some beer-cheese soup!!!
Thelma--I wondered when I saw Shar's pic on FB last week if you two had done it yourself!! Look forward to more pics!
My throat is full of dust...cough, cough!
Now going to try to scrub the foundation and see how hard or easy it is---with a mop!
BTW---ANDY---if you see this---next time you see the SharPei pup at the dog park, please take a pic for me!!!! TY!
This job is not going well.....3/4's done the best I can do---and it's obvious that foundation will need repainting. It isn't all crud---some of it is the dang stain. :( Nice breeze, but I've sure worked up a sweat!
Whew, what a lot of reading I had to do ! Probably missed a whole slew of things, but....
STEVE, sorry I missed you birthday--hope it was the best ever !
Had some great laughs...LOLLY is planning to made dessert out of dead trees...DANAWV and her "travel miseries"....much input on the outgo of body noises ☺☺☺
So touched by... Kidster Jame's reaction to his Grammy's tears. Awwwww, sweet ! Reports of great visits with MIL's, Mom's, kids and grandkids. And, the magnificent survival of one dear Black Vulture, and the fact that his parents are hanging in there with him ! ♥♥♥
I have cleaned and straightened the two guest bedrooms, the Laurel room and the Michael room. Clean sheet all ready for guests. Come on over!!!
Have straightened some here in the family room, putting stuff away. Looking so much better!
The new pre-school/daycare opened last week at our church. I would have helped out but had the boys. Now, I have a lot of books, some games, and some manipulatives to take to them. I am on a roll!!!!!!1
OH MY GOSH-----looking at a catalog.....remember SPOOLIES???? They're back! But they aren't calling them that---just "soft hair curlers." What a hoot? Do you remember the crazy tight curls they made???
LORI, happy to hear that Nancy's scare was something simple that will "go away" on it's on. What a swell Aunt you are ! I'm sure Kilee is aglow over the attention and shopping she's enjoying at your place.
DanaMo, sorry you've had some boring times in Dayton, but thrilled at the thought of your meeting Aric at the airport tomorrow evening. Can't wait to hear more about that on Friday !
LYNN, no Squadron this time. Columbus has an amazing number of very good eateries---much like that of cities far larger and more cosmopolitan. We honored Max by going to an East Indian place with mouth watering good food. He spent this past Winter quarter in northwest India and loved the food. For Sunday lunch we converged on North Market where each person could dine on the ethnic food of their choice. It's a bit smaller, but very much like Reading Market in Philly. The last of the departing Mohicans was son, Lee, and grandson, Cooper who headed for Pittsburgh after a good hearty breakfast here at my place. Lee had to go through there to schmooz up a Rutger's alumni "beeg" donor. Gotta keep that money flowing into the department.☺ From there they head further into PA with stops at Gettysburg, Valley Forge and at some natural, outdoor rock climbing/bouldering area. Cooper is a national champion in the 15-18 age group in that sport. Kind of a scary, nail biting thing for parents and grandparents to observe. Then they'll head for their NJ home Tuesday night or Wednesday.
Oh, phooey, LOLLY, you didn't mean dessert ? I was going to ask for the recipe. LOL We have some dead trees on this condo property that should be cut down. Soon, "they" say. Arrrggghh. Soon takes a long time in coming for these folks !
LYNN, sure hope that water line to the hot water tank leak isn't serious and that you'll someone in to paint the foundation. I know most of us think the painter you had should come in and make his work right, but understand if you don't want him and his crew back on the property. It's unreal how such tradesmen don't connect good service and top notch work with the word of mouth referrals they need so much !
Should have said "that you'll get someone in to....", LYNN.
I'm so tired, but if I give in to napping I'll be up half the night. I've made up my guest beds, too, LOLLY. We're both ready for more company---well, maybe after a few days of rest for me ! By Friday the Welcome Mat will be out for you Momsters again ! DANAMO and I would love to have you drop in at The Cracker Barrel, I70 exit #1111, Friday morning at 10:30 !
Belle n' Truder, the cam is on and the welcome mat is definitly out at Sycamore Palace. Please take advantage of it by nightfall !
This from the US Ambassador in Ottawa. Well rememered.
The United States Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson said, "I just received the sad news that Jack Layton has passed away. On behalf of my family as well as the American people I want to express our sorrow to Jack's wife Olivia Chow, his family, and his friends and supporters across Canada. I will never forget the image of Jack campaigning as the happy warrior. His energy, enthusiasm and passion for politics and for the Canadian people were undeniable. Something I will never forget. A standard for all of us."
I decided I need another computer or lap top I just made the live cam full screen and I love it that would be too cool to have a laptop and use my desktop in full screen that way I can blog from my rocking chair I bought a thingy at a second hand store it looks like its a thing for either a book and I think a lap top could sit on it OK I took a picture of it and I am using Jordyn lap top to demonstrate LOL
Kay, I talked to SIL's bro---he's going to try to be here Weds. to pain the foundation, clean up the windows, AND trim out along th eroad where I can't take the mower. SIL will get a load of mulch to replace what is ruined----I'll rake it up tomorrow. And he's going to get some gravel to spread on one side of the garage where it was not set squarely on the gravel pad---hence causing mud to splash up on the wood....don't want that happening now that it's all cleaned and treated.
I tried one of those for when I'm in my recliner. Won't fit grrr I still haven't found anything that will fit. The couch has a bar that is in front. You can't see it but tables and anyting I've tried to hold the laptop won't work. Everything is too high to go under bar.
Left comment about your laptop easel on the pic, Judy!!
Hoda, Jack Layton was a very handsome man. So sorry for his family and his country. Don't understand the title---looked it up and got even more confused!!!! Is it similar to our Speaker of the House, or Majority Leader, or Minority LEader??
Hi, Shar! No---it's been several weeks---of course cam was down for almost a week---just cam back up today.....and may not last! How was your weekend? How are the blood counts? And how do you FEEL???? (besides with your hands!)
LYNN, big sigh of relief ! So glad help is coming Wednesday. I can tell by your typos you are tired from the work you did earlier today. He owns you anyway ! How are the SIL's sibs doing ? Any hospitalized now ?
I am feeling much better. Go back to the doc next week for the iron check. Go back Wednesday for the postop check. Things are getting better all the time!
SHARON 8-7-11 5:47am- 6:22am is the last time we saw both in the nest I did put a video on blog and also facebook I am keeping a journal because of CRS LOL
LYNN, Speaker of the House, Majority Leader are from the same party as the Government. Minority leader is the opposition. Jack Layton was the leader of the Opposition. The ones trusted to keep the government in check. We have three to four partys in the Parlaiment. So it is not exactly like the Minority Leader in the US system. If the opposition unites against the government they could conceivably bring the governement down. He was a good and honest politician and supported the average Canadian and defended our pension plans and old age security cheques. He spoke up for our health care system and he defended the environment.Who will fill his shoes...hard to imagine.It is sudden because his new bout with cancer was for less than a month from the time we heard about it. We do not know what kind of cancer it was. He survived prostate cancer and was given a clean bill of health over a year ago...
Have just posted on family pics blog a picture of my nephew, Blaine, with Jana and new son, Reece. Someone gave them teeny scrubs to match his Daddy's. LOL Jana and Blaine are both chiropractors and have their own clinic. Voted best chiropractors in McAllen.☺
Good Evening Everyone in Eagleland! Had appt. for carotid Doppler. Both still ticking, I guess--they let me leave!LOL Went to store and have been outside a lot in the beautiful, breezy weather. I take some breaks & sit w/camera stalking the elusive vireo in the magnolia tree!!! They are almost as fast as hummers! Did get one whole body pic when 'puter was down, but hoping for another! I'll have to turn off the TV, as I actually read a book when it was out!!!! Was nice and quiet then until Fubby cranked up stereo! LOL Welcome home to our travelers, like Kay & good to hear from our busy folks. Glad to know Lori's Momm is doing well & BV is OK, too! DanaMo must be really excited for tomorrow to come! Happy quick reunion! (But, you know that college kids often come home on weekends!!)
Judy, you have too much time on your hands!!!! LOL. Do you go out for dinner every night?
Kay---yes, Donald owes me 6 hrs. work! Just hope he shows up as scheduled. Their sister is still in the hospital. Don't know about brother. Now an uncle (who I worked with) is in, too....apparently very serious. Another one of those small world things---his wife (2nd for both) is Charlie's dad's sister....and was married to my friend Frank's brother the first go round.
Nature nut-I am excited, but my son will not be coming home on the weekends. We live 7 hours from University of Dayton. There is no coming home except on extended breaks and weekends.
Yep I eat out every nite There is a couple of place I go to often small restaurants Parkside Cafe, Emileys and the Egg Platter I love it Sonnys is another I go to love the salad bar there I use to cook all the time but past couple of years not We got another storm just pops up that why they call them pop up storms LOL ok gonna power down right on top of me
LINDA we miss you on the blog and send prayers and wish you would post there too when you have a chance. Hope there is healing and a knowing of God's Love and ours too.

Linda Cochran Salsberry Thanks, Hoda! I miss you and the others, too. I hope to be back tonight. Between being sick, having one of our sons in town and another funeral of a friend's mother, it has been a very busy week.

See you all, a little later on

Thanks MARGY, I was very proud.
Really, it was silly how excited I was that it's finally flying. I was just as excited to see that he was not still sitting on top of the barn at sunset, so I'm guessing he was able to fly back down to the ground. I didn't see any parent's helping him. Vulture parents are not nearly as involved as eagle parents seem to be. :)
So good to see you back on here, Lori. We missed you.
Morning, eagle dudettes and dudes!
Thank goodness everything is okay, Lori! We were sure worried. How did your Mom hold up the Kilee-school shopping trek??!!
Neat about the BV chick---are you getting pics?
DanaMo--glad your run has made you feel better. You go girl!
The week will get magically better tomorrow when you get to hug your boy! Good luck with the CE stuff.
Margy....we've probably shared before, but I gather that you also go to Bonifant/Brookreson, eight? Hope you have a "no cavities, Mom" visit.
Andy---$140 admission price for Disneyland is totally ABSURD! I remember in '79 it was about $18 and we thought that was steep!!!
So cool that Jay got to display her art and gets to come back!!!
Wanda, way to go on the clothes closet contribution!!! God works in mysterious ways!
Shirley, Kat made a good decision...I'm sure the shop can get by without her for a few hours!
Good morning! Well, Laurel posted on fb pictures of the three of them ready for school. God bless the school year!
Great to read about all moms doing so well...Lori's mom and GG! 5 years ago this week I lost my mom. Certainly miss her!
Hurrah for the vulture youngster!
Jack has therapy this morning and then off to the dentist. They had an opening so he can get that crown fixed.
Today I start cleaning house. Did nothing with the boys here last week. Will start with their bedrooms. Have a party here next Sunday afternoon. Need to spiff up the place. LOL
Sad...Laurel could not take the boys to school. She had to get to her school early. Joey took them. Then they will walk home together. They live only one block from school and have only one street to cross.
Okay, I just read back and see my mistake. I am good until 2015, not 1015.
Prayers and best wishes for all of the teachers and students as they begin a new school year.
wink wink Shirley...
so glad you have until 2015!
Lolly

Special that Joey could take them!

Good (late) morning eagle momsters and dadsters.

I stand a chance of ADHD'ing the day away if I don't back to MY list here soon....
T-Bird...Mattie and Justin, starting back today? or if not, when ?
Knew what you meant Shirley. As it turns out I pulled my cert. up online and I'm good until Dec.2012 which gives me a little room, but I want to get another class taken care of this Fall and spring. I've had several offers from folks at school that will help me get signed up. Good friends, all the way around!
and if I don't stop leaving words out of my sentences I might as well just give it up and go back to bed !
Started "The Help" last night, already can't wait to turn more pages
Lolly, saw where you and Laurel have read it...my sister saw the movie yesterday...but she has not read the book yet...she liked it
Good News DanaMo !!!!
okay, that's one tension you can let go of for a few days !
Okay, I gotta shake a couple of legs and get back to work here
have a date to meet James's school bus after school at his roost, and take him for his haircut!
Will "SEE" you all before then
xoxoxoxox ♥
Good Morning - school for some as others have a few more days of summer freedom. Everyone sounds terrific!
Did a catch up read but may have missed some things. I am waiting for Jenny to
come over and we are going to see Aaron
for lunch! I am so fortunate that the kids include me on their outings!
JO...
It's a Natural!
As the saying goes:
The fruit does not fall far from the tree ☺ ♥
Hello to Handsome Aaron and Beautiful Jenny from me!
And oh, to Handsome Ed also !
I got ya covered, Margy!
Back to get my traveling clothes....
BBILEW
JO...your kids are fortunate to have you join them on their outings!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
Been working outside, mostly on the deck...was 69°, perfect for working outdoors. Up to 75°. going to be 82°...nice weather all day. Good evening for dinner outside. Now what can I ask the good Capt. to fix? Hmmm? He is working today for Arnie, once again. He has been working every Monday and Thursday since the heart surgery. He is doing well, but, it will be a while before he can go back to work.
Margy, have you seen Aaron since he go his hair and beard cut? So handsome!
Okay, Margy---never heard of that dentist before! Glad you learned some good info.
I think so, Wanda....I saw Aaron in early Springtime at Mellow Moods one morning..he sure was handsome then!
I wonder if Lori is beep-bopping down the road listening to WASH-FM !
Ok, I am beep bopping out to DMV to renew tags... Oh boy, hope I can use the drive through, otherwise it's gonna be snail mailing
Gene is a dear, Wanda, and am sure this is helping Arnie get back to 100% - knowing that someone is "minding the store" while he continues recovery
xoxo ttfn xoxo ♥
OMG !!
Still CAM is back up...going to check live feed real quick !!!
Magpie-they start Thursday.
Affirmative on LIVE FEED also
complete with sound and a Big Leaf Canopy....
Thanks STEVE and the powers that be...we have been starving for this !
xo
Leaves are waving HELLO to us ! ☺
Okay T-Bird, see that, okay, a few more days of Summer Freedom for them
xoxo
LOL sounds like ocean waves from the nest
REPEAT, LIVE AND STILL CAMS ARE BACK UP AND RUNNING !
I want to read The Help and see the movie, too....but since I am always disappointed in a movie after I've read the book, I plan to see the movie first this time!! There is already Oscar buzz!
Great sound on the cam, but it does not look like the cam will last long. I have seen lot of lines going across.
Went outside for a while but could not take it for long. Time to get started on the house!
Have a great week!
Off I go! BBL
We haven't heard from LINDA for a few days...hope she and hubby are feeling better and that she is just busy catching up on things.
(((HUGS))), LINDA.
I see the morning thread is already far in action.
People have lots to say.
Mattie and Justin start school Thursday - got it Thelma. Hoping they have a good school year.
Hunter meets his teacher today with Kathryn. Hope he likes her.
Margy has a full morning list and taking James for hair cut this evening.
Lolly is cleaning. The boys only have 1 block to get to home. Dad took them to school. Laurel has her class.
Lori have her baby BV flapping his wings HAPPY HAPPY for her and BV.
Never thought I would be worried about a BV. Thanks Lori it has been great enjoying this with you.
DanaMo stuffed in a hotel room. Although she did go on 4 mile run. Well that pooped me out!!!!!
Shirley is in a time machine heading into the past.
Need to find out about Judie.
Wanda must have gotten lots of things for cloths closet. Gene is still helping Arnie which is good.
I see Hedgie checked in. Need to read more.
Need to get into GG's, she fussed at me when I was late the last time I dragged my feet on leaving:)
Yes I too would like to see the movie Help.
Mema Jo is going to be with Handsome Aaron and Jenny.
WooHoo----cams are back!!! I had just looked right after you posted Margy!!! Wind makes it look like a tentative situation, tho'!
Yes Lynn it does look a little tenuous but we'll take it for as long as we can...so glad to have a cam!!!!
A flying vulture and cams back in one day, I may have to take a nap from all this excitment!!! WooooHOOOO!
Thanks Dana and Margy for being Vulture support.
I just went out to feed the little guy and he's up on the roof top again. He saw me sit his food down and look a little anxious to come and get it, but hasn't made the move yet.... ooopps, just saw parent vulture out the window. YEAH!
Awful story for you---BEWARE!
Bill found ut that SOMEONE stole his Mom's identity and filed her income tax return (deceased) and it wasn't him! He hadn't gotten her refund...and when he questioned it, learned her filing had been rejected because someone else had already claimed her. Can you believe it?? So now he has to get documentation from the court showing that he is the executor of her estate, copy of death certificate, and some other stuff so the tax attorney can give it all to the IRS before they will open an investigation. They said it happens a LOT---obit trolls, clerks in places with access to SS #'s (Drs. offices, DMV, etc.), or "other" family members......how sick is that?

Sorry to blab on about the black vultures, but I'm so happy for that this surviving chick is making progress, and his parents are here to help him.
SHIRLEY! Surely, now you must be feeling the retirement mode while everyone is talking about and going back to school ... getting their rooms ready etc. :)
Hello THELMA and JIM!
LYNN YOU get the PRIZE for the "Cams are Back ALERT!" It's LYNN Day on the blog!
Where are you all watching the lion cubs or tiger cubs at ?
Good afternoon eagle buds I see we have our cams back YEAH YEAH HAPPY DANCE
Well, goodmorning/good afternoon everyone.
Very sad news out of Canada today. The Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, Jack Layton, died of cancer this morning at 4:40 AM. He died at home surrounded by his wife and children. We are a poorer nation with his departure. May he rest in peace.
OK WHEN I SAID THAT THE CAMERA GOT ALL FUNKY ON AND OFF LOOKS WINDY AGAIN IS THAT WHAT IS BRING THE CAMS DOWN DOES ANYONE KNOW??
it won't let me comment
now it will
Yeah for the baby vulture he is still around
Judy was you watching the tiger cubs? If so where at?
Yes the BV chick is here and thriving! YEAH!
Welcome home for lunch JUDYE!
HODA, when did they release the news about Mr. Layton? I didn't see it before I left work this morning. It is terribly sad, so you and the many people he spent his life serving.
They were watching the tiger cubs on TV this morning. Not sure of the channel, but I think ABC, though I could be totally wrong on the network.
LYNN That is terrible about the id theif I hope that they catch the person
LORI I am so excited that the baby is doing good Hey do you have a video part on your camera Hint hint we could see him as he wingersizes LOL
OK lots ofsilly question how does the Butterfly tag go? do you catch them? are they in a field? do you travel to find them? how many people? and where do you release them in the same place they were caught? Told you lots of questions
Hoda I have gone back several times and clicked on the Nelson Team coming in first. I find myself each time pushing my body
forward as if to help them lol
GREAT VIDEO thank you for posting ( :
No I wasn't watching the tigers
been at work just got home for lunch and almost time to leave already
See Lynne and Steve must have his parents house all in order. Now it can go on the market. Praying all works out for them. May God help them in the sell and the downsizing.
The tigers were on GMA not for sure what that is Shirley and Danamo were talking about them I saw no link either
Yes JudyE was thinking of some of your questions about tagging butterflies myself. For me I just thought they would catch them where they are. Somehow tag them (must be awlful small tag) and then let them go right there. Questions?
In the middle of a down pour and I need to leave for work YUK Gonna check radar maybe I can wait a few min umbrella is in the car good place for it and off course I didn't' park under carport during lunch I am in driveway
LORI they announced the news first thing this morning. Often Canadian news does not make it in the US. I think it was out on the wires by five in the morning eastern time.
SOOOOO Glad that you had a good weekend with your MOM and Keili(sp) shopping for school items. How did your MOM hold up?
DANA I am glad you went for a jog...4 miles very impressive. I hope the issue of signing up for the course is resolved for you...do let us know how it progresses.Does the hotle have a shuttle bus tht can take you to a central place to museums...etc? When you see KAy give her a hug from me too.
YEAY JO is spending the day with family and how GREAT is that...ENJOY JO!!!
Glad to hear the camera is back up again even though with lines and wind is a threat again.
LOLLY aso very glad that Jack was able to get a dental appointment this morning for his crown...is he doing his last minute shopping for the trip today too or will he wait so you can go with him?How long will he be on his canoe trip? He goes canoeing and you have a party there on Sunday???LOL
I shouldn't have said the R word Lolly may be Lurking LOL I do hope that get rain
I sent a email to everyone to let them know cam is up just in case they don't look
and I want to thank all of you that responded to my question about taking you off or leaving you on my email list I have taken off the ones that want off Don't want to be intrusive with emails so once again Thanks
WVGAL_DANA, It is so funny because I do the same thing..it was such a close race that I find myself leaning forwards to help them along!!!LOL. Thanks for your support and for your support of the team in cheering for them.
JUDYE you ask some good questions in regrds the butterflies...how do they do that? I hope JUDIE answers...
Oh and another thing while I am waiting for the rain to subside some If I send you a joke, powerpoint slide show Please don't feel obligated to email be back its ok, I just like to pass on them I have several peeps that send me stuff daily and I do delete most of them unless they are short and sweet no long drawn out jokes love the picture jokes but not the reading ones LOL
Ok now I need to leave still raining but not as hard
Keep everything crossed ladies and gentlemen and hope the cams stay up
Saying a prayer for Hedgie's leak. Until Jimmy can get there Tuesday.
Glad the mishap about the boys transferring got straightened out. No I'm sure Laurel didn't need that!!
Margy grammy just go ahead an cry. I just love James.
Judy glad the rain let up so you would get so wet running for car. Hope rest of your day is good. See you after work.
Lynne I read where your camera is broke. I am very sorry...I love your pictures!!!!! I know you wanted to take more of the horses too. This is silly I know...sometimes I wish I could wiggle my nose and poof like the camera for Lynne would work.
Lori---not ME! Margy made the first cam announcement!
Oh boy Jay is going to be coming back about every 3 months. NEAT!!
Andy I know you are HAPPY!!!! ( :
Wow, nice sound on the live cam!
"August 22, 2011 4:20 PM BST by Outdoor Channel
Hi all,The live feed went back online earlier today. But, it's very windy out at the nest. It's likely that the feed could go down again. Thanks for your patience."
The above is from the OC site.
Glad to have the live feed back up again, for now...
Helloooo ! I'm pleased to be back and happy to report an absolutely glorious few days of reuning with the kids and grands ! My face kind of hurts from smiling and laughing non-stop. ☺ Most activities centered at Julie's and around the pool, but enjoyed a couple of wonderful meals out and the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. I have my house back in order and the laundry all done, etc. You can't even tell they were here, sniff, sniff ! I've read this "page" only and it's answered some of my questions, but raised many others, so I'm going to spend some time trolling for info on what you've all been up to for the last few days.
Welcome back KAY. I am glad you had a GREAT time.
I am off to yoga and errands. Be back later.
LYNN, the Help was the best read of 2011,so far, in my opinion ! Looking forward to seeing the movie, but can't imagine it being better than the book. Yikes, identity theft--what a nightmare ! We seem to have so little defense against it. GRrrrrrr.
HODA, sorry to hear Canada has lost a revered leader. :*( Thanks for telling DANAMO to give me a hug ! We'll both be hugging with all our dear Eagle buds in mind, I know ! I'm too pooped to pop today, but will make sure I get plenty of rest to revitalize myself this week and am Sooo looking forward to seeing her and her hubby on Friday !
Tom has put down some flooring for us. Looks good. I'll put a picture on FB.
I'm off to get some chores done. Later alligators.
Thelma glad to hear that work and help is being done on the house. ( :
Back from lunch at Mellow Moods in Shep'twn. With college students returning the streets are well crowded.
My feet are going up for a bit.... BBL
Kay it sounds like you had a great time with family. That is always a good feeling.
When DanaMo hugs you it is from me too and I'm sure all of us. (((HUGS))))
Mowing is done---but sure didn't consist of much work! Not much is growing out there!
Hurray, Kay!!! Welcome "home"! We've missed you, but knew you were having much too fun to be here!! So glad everything went perfectly! Did you perchance eat at the Squadron?? Yep---I have a one-track mind! Want some beer-cheese soup!!!
Thelma--I wondered when I saw Shar's pic on FB last week if you two had done it yourself!! Look forward to more pics!
My throat is full of dust...cough, cough!
Now going to try to scrub the foundation and see how hard or easy it is---with a mop!
I have a nice view of the most healthy tree leaves around.
It is windy at the nest.
BTW---ANDY---if you see this---next time you see the SharPei pup at the dog park, please take a pic for me!!!! TY!
This job is not going well.....3/4's done the best I can do---and it's obvious that foundation will need repainting. It isn't all crud---some of it is the dang stain. :( Nice breeze, but I've sure worked up a sweat!
Whew, what a lot of reading I had to do ! Probably missed a whole slew of things, but....
STEVE, sorry I missed you birthday--hope it was the best ever !
Had some great laughs...LOLLY is planning to made dessert out of dead trees...DANAWV and her "travel miseries"....much input on the outgo of body noises ☺☺☺
So touched by... Kidster Jame's reaction to his Grammy's tears. Awwwww, sweet ! Reports of great visits with MIL's, Mom's, kids and grandkids. And, the magnificent survival of one dear Black Vulture, and the fact that his parents are hanging in there with him ! ♥♥♥
@*&$#^*! All the mess is still on the foundation when it dried. S-C-R-E-A-M.........
Oh, nooooooooooo! Did I do that? LOL Well, dessert is better than desert!! Don't-cha think?
I have cleaned and straightened the two guest bedrooms, the Laurel room and the Michael room. Clean sheet all ready for guests. Come on over!!!
Have straightened some here in the family room, putting stuff away. Looking so much better!
The new pre-school/daycare opened last week at our church. I would have helped out but had the boys. Now, I have a lot of books, some games, and some manipulatives to take to them. I am on a roll!!!!!!1
OH MY GOSH-----looking at a catalog.....remember SPOOLIES???? They're back! But they aren't calling them that---just "soft hair curlers." What a hoot? Do you remember the crazy tight curls they made???
LORI, happy to hear that Nancy's scare was something simple that will "go away" on it's on. What a swell Aunt you are ! I'm sure Kilee is aglow over the attention and shopping she's enjoying at your place.
DanaMo, sorry you've had some boring times in Dayton, but thrilled at the thought of your meeting Aric at the airport tomorrow evening. Can't wait to hear more about that on Friday !
LYNN, no Squadron this time. Columbus has an amazing number of very good eateries---much like that of cities far larger and more cosmopolitan. We honored Max by going to an East Indian place with mouth watering good food. He spent this past Winter quarter in northwest India and loved the food. For Sunday lunch we converged on North Market where each person could dine on the ethnic food of their choice. It's a bit smaller, but very much like Reading Market in Philly. The last of the departing Mohicans was son, Lee, and grandson, Cooper who headed for Pittsburgh after a good hearty breakfast here at my place. Lee had to go through there to schmooz up a Rutger's alumni "beeg" donor. Gotta keep that money flowing into the department.☺ From there they head further into PA with stops at Gettysburg, Valley Forge and at some natural, outdoor rock climbing/bouldering area. Cooper is a national champion in the 15-18 age group in that sport. Kind of a scary, nail biting thing for parents and grandparents to observe. Then they'll head for their NJ home Tuesday night or Wednesday.
Oh, phooey, LOLLY, you didn't mean dessert ? I was going to ask for the recipe. LOL We have some dead trees on this condo property that should be cut down. Soon, "they" say. Arrrggghh. Soon takes a long time in coming for these folks !
Cam still up even with all that wind
LYNN, sure hope that water line to the hot water tank leak isn't serious and that you'll someone in to paint the foundation. I know most of us think the painter you had should come in and make his work right, but understand if you don't want him and his crew back on the property. It's unreal how such tradesmen don't connect good service and top notch work with the word of mouth referrals they need so much !
Should have said "that you'll get someone in to....", LYNN.
I'm so tired, but if I give in to napping I'll be up half the night. I've made up my guest beds, too, LOLLY. We're both ready for more company---well, maybe after a few days of rest for me ! By Friday the Welcome Mat will be out for you Momsters again ! DANAMO and I would love to have you drop in at The Cracker Barrel, I70 exit #1111, Friday morning at 10:30 !
Belle n' Truder, the cam is on and the welcome mat is definitly out at Sycamore Palace. Please take advantage of it by nightfall !
Love the sound on the cam. You can hear the children at the daycare.
Looks like another eagle is at the Wildlife Center of Va this was on facebook
another eagle admitted Aug 21,2011
So happy they were able to capture the eagle. Hopefully it can be helped and then released. Thanks for posting JudyE.
This from the US Ambassador in Ottawa. Well rememered.
The United States Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson said, "I just received the sad news that Jack Layton has passed away. On behalf of my family as well as the American people I want to express our sorrow to Jack's wife Olivia Chow, his family, and his friends and supporters across Canada. I will never forget the image of Jack campaigning as the happy warrior. His energy, enthusiasm and passion for politics and for the Canadian people were undeniable. Something I will never forget. A standard for all of us."
I decided I need another computer or lap top I just made the live cam full screen and I love it that would be too cool to have a laptop and use my desktop in full screen that way I can blog from my rocking chair I bought a thingy at a second hand store it looks like its a thing for either a book and I think a lap top could sit on it OK I took a picture of it and I am using Jordyn lap top to demonstrate LOL
my new laptop holder if only I had a lap top LOL
Poor eagle, Judy. Thanks for that update.
Kay, I talked to SIL's bro---he's going to try to be here Weds. to pain the foundation, clean up the windows, AND trim out along th eroad where I can't take the mower.
SIL will get a load of mulch to replace what is ruined----I'll rake it up tomorrow. And he's going to get some gravel to spread on one side of the garage where it was not set squarely on the gravel pad---hence causing mud to splash up on the wood....don't want that happening now that it's all cleaned and treated.
May the ☼ shine on all of your ⌂
May the ☼ on all your ⌂
just playing with the alt key I love the house ⌂ 127
the second set is made with the bold symbols which made it lighter not bold so bold doesn't work with alt key stuff
I tried one of those for when I'm in my recliner. Won't fit grrr I still haven't found anything that will fit. The couch has a bar that is in front. You can't see it but tables and anyting I've tried to hold the laptop won't work. Everything is too high to go under bar.
Left comment about your laptop easel on the pic, Judy!!
Hoda, Jack Layton was a very handsome man. So sorry for his family and his country. Don't understand the title---looked it up and got even more confused!!!! Is it similar to our Speaker of the House, or Majority Leader, or Minority LEader??
Hello to all my lovely eagle budlets! How is everybody? I have missed you!
╔═════╦

I think this thing will work I works with Jordyn toy LOL I still like the live cam full screen so easy to see big leaves and all

I made a sign for our resident pair can you tell I am bored this is from the Alt Key link I printed it so I have it in front of me boy is it a PIA
Hi, Shar! No---it's been several weeks---of course cam was down for almost a week---just cam back up today.....and may not last!
How was your weekend? How are the blood counts? And how do you FEEL???? (besides with your hands!)
ok it didn't turn out the way I typed in a box I guess I have to fill the whole comment box not just half it that was suppose look like a sign
LYNN, big sigh of relief ! So glad help is coming Wednesday. I can tell by your typos you are tired from the work you did earlier today. He owns you anyway ! How are the SIL's sibs doing ? Any hospitalized now ?
I am feeling much better. Go back to the doc next week for the iron check. Go back Wednesday for the postop check. Things are getting better all the time!
SHARON, I know your response is to Lynn, but I have to add a big Whoopee ! here. Our prayers DO work and they will continue.
SHARON 8-7-11 5:47am- 6:22am is the last time we saw both in the nest I did put a video on blog and also facebook I am keeping a journal because of CRS LOL
JUDY, I'm amazed at all you accomplish ! I like the wee house.

just wanted to see if they looked sort of like smileys here goes
Thank you who ever put the altkey code link on the blog but it is killing my neck so I am stepping back for a bit
The wind has died down at the nest I just noticed of is it just a lull in the wind
LYNN, Speaker of the House, Majority Leader are from the same party as the Government. Minority leader is the opposition. Jack Layton was the leader of the Opposition. The ones trusted to keep the government in check. We have three to four partys in the Parlaiment. So it is not exactly like the Minority Leader in the US system. If the opposition unites against the government they could conceivably bring the governement down.
He was a good and honest politician and supported the average Canadian and defended our pension plans and old age security cheques. He spoke up for our health care system and he defended the environment.Who will fill his shoes...hard to imagine.It is sudden because his new bout with cancer was for less than a month from the time we heard about it. We do not know what kind of cancer it was. He survived prostate cancer and was given a clean bill of health over a year ago...
Have just posted on family pics blog a picture of my nephew, Blaine, with Jana and new son, Reece. Someone gave them teeny scrubs to match his Daddy's. LOL Jana and Blaine are both chiropractors and have their own clinic. Voted best chiropractors in McAllen.☺
Good Evening Everyone in Eagleland!
Had appt. for carotid Doppler. Both still ticking, I guess--they let me leave!LOL Went to store and have been outside a lot in the beautiful, breezy weather. I take some breaks & sit w/camera stalking the elusive vireo in the magnolia tree!!! They are almost as fast as hummers! Did get one whole body pic when 'puter was down, but hoping for another!
I'll have to turn off the TV, as I actually read a book when it was out!!!! Was nice and quiet then until Fubby cranked up stereo! LOL
Welcome home to our travelers, like Kay & good to hear from our busy folks. Glad to know Lori's Momm is doing well & BV is OK, too!
DanaMo must be really excited for tomorrow to come! Happy quick reunion! (But, you know that college kids often come home on weekends!!)
Hoda, so sorry for the loss of your Minority Leader. He sounds like he was really concerned with the people.
To digress, have Live Cam on & we need a tiny tree trim! Nu, where are you??
We've already had some salads---time to finish making the tuna!Was going to have ribs, but wanted something cooler!
Judy, you have too much time on your hands!!!! LOL. Do you go out for dinner every night?
Kay---yes, Donald owes me 6 hrs. work! Just hope he shows up as scheduled. Their sister is still in the hospital. Don't know about brother. Now an uncle (who I worked with) is in, too....apparently very serious. Another one of those small world things---his wife (2nd for both) is Charlie's dad's sister....and was married to my friend Frank's brother the first go round.
Nature nut-I am excited, but my son will not be coming home on the weekends. We live 7 hours from University of Dayton. There is no coming home except on extended breaks and weekends.
LOLLY Love the scubs did they get to take home with them???
I see that someone gave them the scrubs so I just read my question answer duh Judy
Whoo Hoo! Love having the cam back up. A visit would make it even better yet!
Yep I eat out every nite There is a couple of place I go to often small restaurants Parkside Cafe, Emileys and the Egg Platter I love it Sonnys is another I go to love the salad bar there I use to cook all the time but past couple of years not We got another storm just pops up that why they call them pop up storms LOL ok gonna power down right on top of me
Thanks, Hoda for the logical explanation!! Do I understand correctly that his wife is also a member of Parliament? Could she succeed him?

Loretta, glad you had a relatively easy day! Wish I would see a vireo!
