JudyE---not too fear----conpanies don't offer FluZone---they can't get it as cheaply as they do the injectable! Plus too many people can't take it.
So you report in the morning for your initial instructions for jury duty? Fun, fun... :(

Judie said...

Hail to the Redskins. Hail victory. Hail to the Redskins. Fight for old D.C. Go Skins.

Hoda, you had me literally laughing out loud. Sure wish you would do the Sunday game play-by-play for us each week.

Thelma, it does feel good. It's been a long, long time since there was a sense of team spirit and working together for a goal. Long over due.

Bet Lynn's cacciatore tastes a whole bunch better than our hamburgers. I even added a dollop of Yippee-Skins-Victory Sauce but it was still just hamburger on a bun.

Speaking of buns, I figured the Skins' cheerleaders were taking the short-cut name "Skins" literally. Well, we'll see what happens when the temps dip below belly button degrees.

Off to watch some mindless t.v. BBL

Judie said...

Had to come back. Doing a Margy.

Judy, is the Casey Anthony probation hearing over? If not, that would be interesting. Well, maybe if it's a boring case, you won't be selected.

magpie said...

not even sure that is the correct name, JudyE
should check my bug book, but this is what I have always called them
lots and lots of legs that look like....very long small silky things


realized today....been a long time since I SAW an American Robin...think I heard one earlier today....and not much chirping from any morning birds these days,
except crows and blue jays

magpie said...

I just usually let them to their own way, Judy...

Am very joined with all here...on the sadness and the emotion of the day....

will be watching the CBS show now...
60-Minutes

xo (( Hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

not 60 minutes

two hours

hedgie said...

Going to sofa with Liesl to watch the CBS special. BBL.

Hoda said...

LOLLY loves the COWBOYS even more than she would love to see rain!!! That is saying something.

JUDYE keep us posted as to Jury Duty.

JUDIE laughter is sooooooo good for the soul.

I take it the REDSKINS won their game?

Lolly said...

NO NO NO!!!!!! I would sacrifice the COWBOYS, for rain! It is desperate here, we need rain!!!!!

Over 3 million acres have now burned. Well over 1000 homes lost. Some towns are out of drinking water. We need rain!!!!!

Hoda said...

AWESOME concert in Washington DC...I am watching it on CBS internet...

What shines through today out of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS CLASS AND FORTITUDE, FAITH AND TRUST AND HOPE...

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good evening my friends. Sorry about my avatar but I can't change it on my phone. Just want you to know that I love you all.

Hoda said...

OK LOLLY you are awfully quiet...what is happening with your Cowboys??? Has the game started yet???

PA Nana said...

Good evening everyone. Congrats to the winning teams today - Ravens & Skin.

We were just issued a flash flood warning. Oh NO! not again.

Stay safe and dry everyone. I'll try to come back later. If not, know that my prayers are with you for all needs.

Mema Jo said...

Good evening - I am so thankful that so far this day has been peaceful. The games were all winners by me Ravens and then Redskins!

There is a new 5 mo old puppy at my
son's house. Sasha has accepted him
and is 'putting up' with his playfulness. Sasha gives him attention and the two are very compatible. She is a mix of Germany shepherd and Husky. Her facial markings are beautiful. The funny part is that she was found on Craig's List and she was up in Thurmont. When the door was opened Susie and Lorenzo stared at each other... He had been the soccer coach for both the boys. His son has moved in with them and the pup was not welcomed by the Queen Cat! There was also another dog and there would be no one home all day for the puppy. So end of story - Happy ending.

Mema Jo said...

ROFL Temps below bellybutton degrees!

Thanks Judie for my today's chuckle!

stronghunter said...

I am going to call it quits for the night . . . see you tomorrow. Rest well. Take care.

God bless.

Hoda said...

I am glad there is a new puppy JO. Lovley story.

Much GRATITUDE that today was a day to pray and remember and that the vigilence averted any possible attacks.

Goodnight SHIRLEY.

Lolly said...

Watching the game, Hoda. Second half has just started. It is a close game, Cowboys ahead 10-7.

Linda said...

Good Evening on this Special Day of Remembrance. I hope this nation never forgets. May God Bless our Country. We sure do need it! Thanking God tonight for keeping us safe today!

Lolly – This cold is definitely taking its course with you. Sorry to hear you’re so miserable. At least you can watch the Cowboys now…...

Shirley – Sorry to hear Kathryn is also not feeling well.

Loretta – Never feel like you’re talking to much about your daughter and sil’s situation in Bastrop, It is just terrible that people are so inconsiderate and have to take advantage of other peoples losses. We want to know how they are, because they are special to you, and hence, special to us…… as you are!

We still have our regular hummers, as best as I can tell. I am seeing more females than males of late, which is usually the case when we get to the mid and late September days. Ours fly around the house and occasionally stop by the front window just to peek in on their way over to the feeder. Too cuts!

Lynne – So the SB’s return? Ugh! So glad you’re going to a wedding and you CAN’T catch the bouquet! You are spoken for!!

Hoda – Glad we have you to keep the peace with this violent group!!! LOL We have some die hard fans in this group, don’t we! And thanks for honoring and appreciating our country, Hoda. You’re amazing!

Margie – I definitely agree with you about the Redskins Cheerleaders’ outfits. Might as well just wear their Victoria Secrets under garments!! They’re all that way and it’s a shame.

JudyE – I liked that FB page. Awesome pictures, too!

hedgie said...

That was a very poignant show.

Hi, Sharon. Glad you popped in. Hope your weekend gathering was great!

Jo, how sweet that the new puppy came into the kid's life so quickly. Sounds perfect!

G'night, Shirley. Hope your crab feed was delicious! Nice to have the whole family together today.

magpie said...

Lovely story, Jo...about the new puppy ... is there a name?
Very happy to read this

Thanks again to Lynne...for the notice on the show on CBS - very, very .... poignant....a lot of sad, some joyful...some hopeful

hoping and praying that Diann in Pa..will be okay with the new flash flood watch

Hoping that Paula and Nick have arrived home safely, and she pops on to say so

Thinking and wondering about Lori and Kate also....

Prayers for just about every need, emotion and care, for so many, coursing through my soul right now

Extreme and perpetual gratitude for all the emergency workers...and every single person that worked to make a difference that day,on 9/11/2001, and every day
Good Night, Precious Pals..

God Bless Us, Every One and please, keep us safe...
xoxo ♥

Judie said...

Jo, how sweet about the puppy being adopted and accepted and welcomed. Happy ending, indeed.

Hoda, we are just so fortunate to have you as our friend and our geographical neighbor. Thank you so much for your support of the U.S.

Shirley, sleep well. Hope the Hunterisms are not too stressful in the morning.

Lolly said...

I do believe I am feeling better this evening. Trying not to be too optimistic. Trying to stay awake for the game but would really like to go to bed.

Hoda...now 17-7. ☺

I do have a luncheon to go to tomorrow. Whether I go or not depends on how I feel in the morning. Supposed to take a salad or a dessert. Guess I could purchase something at the grocery store. It is the first meeting of the year of retired teachers. I would really like to go.

magpie said...

I did have one little James tale:
last night he asked me if I knew about "alliteration" and "persification" (to which his Dad said.. personification...)
and James offered an example of personifications:

THE SUN IS SMILING
☼ ☺

Hoda said...

10-7 is a close game indeed LOLLY and it does not seem to be high scoring...

I too wonder about LORI and KATE. We have not heard from them today.

Thank You Linda.

magpie said...

so Lolly, that reminds me of your Smiling Sun avatar...
hope you feel better, Pronto!

Judie said...

Well, I hear the sandperson making a stealthy approach up the stairs. Want to watch a few minutes of news.

The night light is on for anyone who may need to arise in the dark, for Hunter who may tumble out of bed, for Tom Sweetie making a dinner delivery for Margy, and for Andy who will be arriving soon from the West Coast. Restful sleep for all. God bless us each and every one and God bless our blog family.

Hoda said...

WOW James the Wise IS Wise!!!

17-7 is putting some space between them...I hope it is a good game to watch Lolly.

Mema Jo said...

The pup had been pre-named ROMA by her first owner. Kids are real pleased with
the name - Maybe they will address her
with a new name.

I think I am going to say Good Night to all of you. Hugs to All ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Prayers for soooooo many being said. I
am thankful He knows all of your names in case I forget.
Thank you Lord for this day! Amen

hedgie said...

Moon glow is lovely....hope the storm clouds stay gone!

paula eagleholic said...

Evening all!

Home safe and sound...back in a bit!

paula eagleholic said...

Oops, forgot to post that last comment!

hedgie said...

ROFL, Jo....kids were happy with pup's name or WEREN'T? I would definitely ditch a name that is also a Cowboy QB name!

Forgot to say hi to Andy when she was here earlier! We'll make an evening bird out of her yet!!!

Linda, good you checked in, too. How's Dennis feeling today? I hope you are taking today easy!

Just heard on police scanner that my partner-in-arms with the retiree group had a burglary....perp made entry into his house from the garage......waiting to hear more....TG no call for medics. Direction they were headed in a vehicle would take them straight to my ex-MIL's house! She is directly across from where his road intersects with a more travelled road.

paula eagleholic said...

Really wanted to see the CBS special, just didn't make it home in time....didn't want to leave...also the fish were biting ☺

Bro caught 3 bluefish and a sea trout this afternoon. He gave me 2 of the blues...plus he had caught one bluefish last night.

Nick was totally hilarious! He discovered the minnows in the shallows...kept trying to catch them...he was trying to pounce on them...it was sooooooo funny!

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, wonderful about the new pup! So funny that she knew the guy!

Margy, hope you had a grand time with James!

paula eagleholic said...

And I take it the Skins won? Did they play in DC?

hedgie said...

Glad you are home, Paula. Rough ride?? Bad storm up this way.

Goodnight to all turning in. Been an emotional day. Lows and highs....makes us tired.

Linda said...

Lynn - Oh no.... a burglary of someone you know. So sorry to hear that. Hope she will be okay.

Thanks for asking about Dennis! He is a little better today, but still in pain. He did decide to cut the grass today because he is tired of sitting on the couch.

I scrubbed the fireplace! Yuck! With the wind and rain last week, we got water in the fireplace somehow. It turned all the brick black and yucky! So I scrubbed and cleaned the bricks. They look much better.

Linda said...

Yes, Paula, the Redskins played at home this afternoon.

Greetings to you!! Glad you're home safe and sound!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, hit a shower after Germantown, but no rain to speak of after that...much better than last week's ride home!

Did the Skins play at 1 or 4 today?

Linda said...

Still amazing video coming out of some of these areas where the creeks and water damage is incredible. In some areas, the sheer power of the water took out homes' foundations, washed portions of homes out completely, not to mention the cars, sheds, and so many items.

NatureNut said...

Wow, it's getting late. Been watching football & doing stuff on 'puter.
YAAY, Skins & Cowboy game is pretty exciting!
Most have probably hit the hay,
so Pleasant Feather Dreams & prayers for all who are ailing ;>)

Linda said...

Our local grocery store about 10 minutes away was out of bread, milk, water, and so many every day items because stores in surrounding areas are flooded and closed.

I still can't get over the sheer force of the water and its impact in so many areas.

We are so blessed to be where we are.

Lolly said...

Puppy...Roma

QB......Romo

Welcome home Paula. Would have loved to have seen Nick trying to catch a minnow.

Linda said...

They played at 4, Paula

Linda said...

It was a good game.

Linda said...

Well, for those of you still up, I bid you good night!!

Wishing you all restful and peaceful sleep tonight!

May God Bless and Protect us all and the critters we so dearly love... xoxo ♥♥♥

hedgie said...

Yes, Paula, home game....28-14 over the Giants!!

hedgie said...

It was a 4:15 game...but closer to 4"30 before it got underway.

Oh, Linda....what a horrible job! I hate that smell of the wet fireplace/chimney. My woodstove has had it's fair share of odor this past week.

hedgie said...

Romo/Roma.....gender identity! In one place Jo said he and another place she.....masculine vs. feminine....EITHER WAY......I'm just sayin'!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Linda and Lynn! YAY, they beat the Giants. That explains the traffic on the beltway! Not awful, but heavier than a normal Sunday!

Hoda said...

Welcome home Paula. Fish meals gift of bro sound wonderful...NICK is precious.

LOLLY what is the score?

hedgie said...

I saw that Kay was here....but she disappeared! Guess the poolside afternoon wore her out! Oh, yeah, there is a routine to closing the pool....and always a bit sad, but usually a relief, too! They are so much work---and expense. Good thing that in these climes, they are only usable for 3+ mos. Carolyn and Charlie should have gotten theirs done this weekend, but she pulled overtime at work and he pulled "nursing" duty to his sister.

hedgie said...

Just had a power "almost" outage....messed up DVR---it's rebooting. Clocks on stereos and microwave messed up again.

hedgie said...

I am going to call it a day. See you lovely people tomorrow. Was hoping to get some outdoor stuff done, but everything is soaking wet again. :(

Prayers for all. Praise God for a safe day here....unfortunately, a Taliban truck bomb outside a US military installation in Afghanistan today wounded 80 of our troops...so special prayers for our soldiers.

hedgie said...

Oh-oh.....Lolly didn't come back to tell us that the Cowboys lost.....sorry, kiddo, Better luck next time. :)

Hoda said...

OH NO The COWBOYS lost!!!Sorry LOLLY.

Lolly said...

Headed to bed myself. Have showered and oh so ready to close my eyes.

Hoda...COWBOYS lost in the last minutes. Bummer!

Nite all! Sweet dreams!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
GOD BLESS MY EAGLE FRIENDS! Tomorrow comes soon and I pray for safety for all!

Lolly said...

Hoda, I think your Oh, no and "sorry" was sincere....I really do not think that Lynn's was sincere. I love her anyway!☺

paula eagleholic said...

Hope you feel better tomorrow, Lolly.

Hoda said...

I will say Goodnight and God Bless.

PA Nana said...

Okay, the storm bypassed us..whew!

Have watched all the televised football games today and the best one was the last - Cowboys & Jets.
Sorry, Lolly, but it was a good game.

The earlier game between Ravens & Steelers, was a joke. Big Ben, not my favorite GB, better get his game back - soon. Got my yellow towels out but had no reason to wave them.

Skins game was interesting though. Our youngest is a big fan.

Wish our local tv stations would televise some Patriot games. That's my second favorite team.

Poor Jimbo. Lost interest in football by the second game and fell asleep. I just couldn't stop watching. I may be addicted.

Loretta, hope your kids can get their things before those b#$%%^&
Please keep us posted. Guns in the wrong hands can be tragic.

Thanks for the prayers for my sisters. BIL, Charlie, needed more blood over the weekend but is in better shape as of yesterday.
Baby sister, Eileen, is safely back in Memphis. Such a short visit that I didn't get to see her due to the flooding in Marietta.

Prayers for all those lost on 9/11 the first responders who helped on the tragic day, and to the families of those still missing to find some solace.

Restful sleep everyone. God bless!

PA Nana said...

Duh... QB. Meds are working. Goodnight.

Costume Lady said...

Well, it is no longer Sept. 11...no terrorist activity reported, so we must give thanks for a safe and peaceful day~ AMEN

GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL
PRAYERS FOR ALL
PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Evening, Everyone!
Got busy watching a TV special with Emma, so getting here pretty late. I, too, am grateful that there were no terrorist acts today. Thank GOD! God bless our country, and everyone in it!

Jo, so glad to hear of the adopted puppy, Roma! I LOVE happy endings!

We talked to the kids today, and am happy to report that Sierra (our ggd)is absolutely LOVING kindergarten, and her teacher LOVES having her in class! Look out world, here she comes! That little kiddo is quite a dynamo. Courtney (our gd) is loving school, too, and cheerleading. She's doing so well at that, I wouldn't be surprised if someday she makes the Cowboys cheer squad!
Oh--Sierra's new nickname is officially "Guppy!" She is doing great in her swim lessons--she's
5, and has been promoted to a class with 7- and 8-year-olds. No problem keeping up with them.

Happy to report that Kubby's heel is much better! Thank you all for your healing prayers! Grateful prayers going up from this roost!

Well, going to call it a day. Will have an early, busy morning tomorrow. (Bulldogs babysitting chores!) Prayers said for everyone, and every creature. Making sure the porch light is on. Enabling both security systems. Sleep tight, my friends! God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! :o]

DanaMo said...

I've been busy tweaking plans more. I wouldn't be worrying about it so much but it's my week to get checked by the principal so I have to make sure all my ducks are in a row.

Good morning. Have a good day everyone.

DanaMo said...

T-Bird said...

Good morning JudyE and DanaMo.

stronghunter said...

Good morning.

We had a nice family day yesterday.

T-Bird said...

Mornin' Stronghunter. I'm glad you day was good yesterday.

Lori O. said...

Good Morning Eagle Family!

Kudos to everyone - there were some beautiful avatars on here yesterday. They were all so wonderful to look at and patriotic supremo!

Praise for a safe and attack free 9-11. AMEN!

The beach house here is just gorgeous. Wish is was my real house! I took a bunch of pictures yesterday and loaded on this Apple thing, but can't get this to interface with my blog and adding pics. UGH...so I will try the HP Tablet and see if I can do something with that, since it at least has Windows on it.

Yesterday was gorgeous. We played in the pool, did a lot of bird watching (can't confirm an eagle yet), took the dogs down to the beach and looked at all the beach mansions.
The dogs were like sacks of potatoes last night - conked out hard and snoring like buzz saws! It's overcast this morning so not good for pictures, but I have some great coffee and great bird sounds to listen to on any of the 4 decks!

Have a great, happy, safe, healthy day everyone! You'll be the first ones I tell if I am blessed with seeing an eagle!

Lori O. said...

Shirley, I waved and said hello to you as I went through Fredericksburg!

stronghunter said...

Hi Lori, so glad you are enjoying the beach.

Yesterday, all of my children came and we had crabs (provided by Will) and clams (provided by Susan) as well as other goodies.

stronghunter said...

Hi, Thelma!

T-Bird said...

Suzanne-happy, happy birthday. I hope you treat yourself like your best friend today!!

T-Bird said...

I'm off everyone. Make a good day.

stronghunter said...

Happy birthday, Suzanne!

Judie said...

Good morning everyone.

Have a busy morning but wanted to stop in to say hello. Seems everyone is doing well (except Lolly's Cowboys).

Linda, glad Dennis is some better and Paula made it home safely with her minnow-pouncing pup. Busy traffic day in D.C. yesterday with the game and the 9/11 events, marathons, etc.

Lynn, hope the burglar has been apprehended. No damage to your friend is very good.

Sorry you didn't get to wave your yellow towels, Diann. Next time.

Lori, continue to enjoy your well-deserved vacation.

DanaMo, I'm sure you will pass the Principle's test with flying crayons.

Shirley, so nice you had a good day with family.

BBL

hedgie said...

♫ Monday, Monday.....♫ Foggy and cool here. I OVERSLEPT! Is there such a thing when we are retired?? LOL! Don't like getting started so late....but since I can't do anything outside, I guess it's okay!
How is everyone today?

My retiree group partner is okay. Shaken...but safe. Birglar was scared off without getting anything. Lucky....he had gone to bed very early and woke up to go to the bathroom. Saw a flashlight in the hallway and started shouting and perp fled. Harry had left garage windows (screened) open for air circulation...and really doesn't know if he locked door into kitchen or not.

Lynne2 said...

Good morning....testing one two three

Is my eagle flying?

Lynne2 said...

OOOOOOO yet it is!!!!

Lynne2 said...

Glad your RGP is ok Lynn!

Gotta run, have to take the car in...

hedgie said...

Know she can't check in to see her greetings here (I sent email card and FB greetings!) but:
♫ ♪ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUZ!!!! ♪ ♫

hedgie said...

Lynne---how'd you do that??? We haven't been abe to get animated avatars to work on here for a couple of years!! COOL EAGLE!!!!

Lori, glad you checked in to let us know that you are having a great vacay!!!! Does the house have an outdoor shower? Good place to rinse off sandy dogs!!
Hope the sun breaks through for you!

Shirley, glad your dinner was a great one!!

Diann....I use my Skin's bandanna for all things: wave it when things go well, wring it when it gets tense, wipe away tears when we lose!!!!

Lolly accused me of being insincere..... :( I'm gonna tell Mema Jo on her.....

hedgie said...

SUN is out, burning off the fog!

hedgie said...

Know you are at school, DanaMo, but just wanted to say that I know the principal's observation will go well for you today!!! Don't forget pics of your buttons!!
Seems early in the school year for an "inspection," tho'!!

hedgie said...

Gee....just see that Cliff Robertson died Sat. He was 88! My sister (in one of her many different "occupations") used to wash his airplane in West Palm Beach. He was married to actress Dina Merrill then (who was also the daughter of E.F. Hutton and Marjorie Meriweather Post).

Lolly said...

Good Morning!!! I think I might live! Much better this morning, however, I still have a headache and my eyes are really bothering me. They are watering a lot!!

Lynn, you just go ahead and tattle.☺ Jo would agree with me!

Lynne, love your avatar. So, once again we can do animation? Your eagle will get tired soon! lol

Article in the paper this morning about moving water from rain drenched areas to drought areas. They seem to think it is too expensive and not practical. Hee hee, they do not know about our ditch we are digging.

Also, article about Bastrop. They are starting to allow people in to see neighborhoods. One man moved into his new house 2 weeks ago...now it is gone. Sad! Over 1500 houses gone and possibly more.

I will see if I can find the article on line.

Lolly said...

My lesson plans always had to be on my desk when I left on Friday. Principal did a walk through looking at every one's plans. And, she really looked at them, too. Left comments! Actually that was good in that I was not doing lesson plans over the weekend.

Lesson plans from year to year were "sorta" the same, but you learn new things and try new strategies. Best thing I ever learned and had success with at the end of my career was doing the daily news with the children. Do you do that, Dana?

Lolly said...

Back to a rain avatar!

magpie said...

Nice new avatar, Lolly!
Keep the Faith

and Lynne's and JudyE's new ones are
great also.....there really isn't an avatar on here that I DON'T Like ... but these seem to be the newest additions

Glad you feel better, at least a little bit better, Lolly

Good Morning Eagle Pals...

and
Happy Birthday Suzanne...may your special day be Glorious and every day thereafter as well
xox ♥

magpie said...

Fabul☺us report from Lori!

magpie said...

I realized yesterday morning..that the morning singing birds are becoming more scarce..hear blue jays and crows....
but it has been a loooooonng time since I heard a cardinal warbling, and...
haven't seen a Robin for weeks!
Do hear one once in awhile...

magpie said...

neat report from Andrea on her great granddaughter and granddaughter on their happiness with school this year ☺

Lolly said...

Yes, I wish I was there with Lori. 4 balconies? More than enough for all of us!

Have a great week, Lori!!!! And, do hope you see that eagle.

magpie said...

scary story about the burglary to your friend's house Lynn
glad he is okay!
In this day and age and around here...there seems to be a burglar or a crook on every corner
I think it's only a matter of time before people...start...taking matters into their own hands
especially with all the metal thievery going on

Lolly said...

Left Suz a birthday wish on fb. Wish she could come on here. Loved her early morning commentaries.

Lolly said...

This avatar is supposed to be animated. Wonder how Lynne got hers to work.

magpie said...

picked up a fantastic little book from Goodwill the other night, entitled:
Hugs for Teachers
it is part of a collection of books
Hugs for...
Women, Friends, Hurting, Grandparents, Dads, Moms...

I'll get some quotes up here from to time...it is WONDERFUL and surely speaks to all our Teachers here...Active and Retired ! (Once a Teacher...always a Teacher! ♥ )

God Bless Our Teachers !!

magpie said...

Going to move along and get things done on this my only day off...
have a school pick-up with James later...

maybe I'll learn more about alliterations and personifications when I see him

Best Wishes for A Great Day, Everyone

oh, the avatar is my original one from Paula...the original black-billed Magpie


ttfn xoxo ♥

magpie said...

Shirley:
Sounds like you had a really nice day, yesterday...always happy to read of these kinds of things

hedgie said...

Lolly, did you see Lori's latest avatar??? CUTE!

Article I saw yesterday said that 17 people are missing in Bastrop....they don't know if they have perished or if they were not in area pre-fire, or left without telling anyone.

magpie said...

Jo
I like the name Roma....
has a certain "Mediterranean" sound to it ..☺
and is a good "sound" name for a doggy...
Hope all goes well with the new pup...

ttfn xoxox ♥

stronghunter said...

Okay, I am trying an animated avatar.

stronghunter said...

Not working yet. It did for a moment.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Friends and Lurkers ( :

Need to finish reading comments.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Lolly said...

I am departing for a while. My eyes are really bothering me. Maybe I need to give them a rest.

Yes, I saw Lori's avatar and really appreciate it.

BBL Have a great day and an even better week!!!!☺

hedgie said...

I saw a robin yesterday morning, Margy. Someone else mentioned not seeing any yesterday---??Lynne??

Lolly said...

One more thing....

Article on Bastrop Fire

hedgie said...

LOL, Margy---ask James the Wise if he's learned onomatopoeia yet! Bet that will throw him!!

Harry said that deputy told him there was a recent burglary at the farm on the corner of Dry Run and Ridge Rd., Margy...they stole vehicle titles.......uh, DUH! What the h good would they be???? Dumb crooks.

Mema Jo said...

New pup is ROMA - Female
Roma, is a professional Italian football (soccer) club based in Rome.
Orlando (previous owner) is an avid soccer fan and an Italian. He was the
gs's coach for years.
Roma is going to the vets today at 1:00
Anxious to see her weight - she is a
sleek gal. She went into their bedroom
last evening and whimpered - It got her a place on the bottom of the bed!
Smart Cookie!

Lolly said...

And....

Shhhh...do not tell them about our ditch

Mema Jo said...

Suzanne is at work today - but is
enjoying her birthday. FB has many many good wishes for her.

hedgie said...

Lolly, could be that you actually have a cold in your eyes. Kind of like a touch of conjunctivitis. Try some Visine AC--it might help, even tho' it is for allergy.

hedgie said...

Oh, that's cute, Jo! Nothing wrong requiring a vet visit, is there?

I will take one of those 4 balconies at the beach house. Really happy for Lori to have such a great sight for her vac.

Lolly - how deep do you need the ditch?


Shirley - I love that kitty even when
she is still!

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - nothing is wrong with Roma. She
just needs some shots and later on
they'll have her neutered when she
is old enough in a month or two.
She is outside in the pen with her new
pal Sasha (female).

Mema Jo said...

Lolly lol I just realized your
Shhhhhh! was a link! They think it can't be done! What do they know about
ditches.......

wvgal_dana said...

Jo sounds like the new pup is
a grand addition to the family.

Margy James is WISE!! ( :

Lolly sorry you are still feeling poorly. I am sure Norma was yelling with you for the Cowboys!

PA Nana-Diann I pray that you don't flood this time.

JudyE that is a markup!!!

Paula I love you sharing with us the things Nick does. I am chuckling this morning from your comment. I can see it happening
through your words. With his paws getting wet. Him not caring just wants to play with those minnows.LOL

Hoda you are a breath of fresh air for us. I am so glad you found us. You are apart of this group USA even though we know why you live
where you do. Doesn't matter
your heart is beautiful!!!♥

Hail to the Redskins.

I am a bit reluctant to download too many things. Do not want to pick up a virus.

stronghunter said...

It is a cute kitty, isn't it, Jo? It is supposed to be licking the computer screen.

Mema Jo said...

I need some lunch

Hedgie-Lynn/e is your retiree
friend ok? So scary burglary
while he was there!!


As far as the Cheerleaders uniforms.
I think it is used as a distraction. That is way the Steelers don't have Cheerleaders..JMO.

Linda I hope Dennis begins to feel
better. I feel so badly for those
that the waters have taken their
homes. I pray they can find a place
to live or rebuild. How many times
a year do you clean the chimney?

Hedgie-Lynn/e is Charlie's sister sick?

Prayers for those at the military place that was bombed that God will be with those that were wounded and their families.
May God see they get the care that is needed. May HE seek HIS help to their buddies.

PA Nana- Diann I just read where the storm passed you. Thank God---I am so thankful for that happening for you.♥

wvgal_dana said...

In Bastrop just moved in 2 weeks ago. House gone..My feelings are so saddened for everyone their that have lost. It just breaks my heart. Sherry and Jimmy Loretta's daughter losing their home.

The floods taking homes...saddens me.

God please stop the fires and flooding. ^j^

I just wish we could send people in
to these places and rebuild for all
of them...tears. Sorry for getting
emotional but it just breaks my heart!!

wvgal_dana said...

Daddy and me when I was little.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZANNE!!!!!

hedgie said...

Dana, Harry is okay physically---just a bit shook up mentally/emotionally.

Yes, Charlie's sister had a stroke about 6 wks.a go. They sent her home from rehab last week...no one to care for her there. So their mom, Charlie and bro Donald are doing it. Her daughter has not even called since this happened. She is a stay-at-home mom with only one not yet in school---she is an adopted brat who doesn't give her mom the time of day.

wvgal_dana said...

Huh why don't I have her on my prayer list??? Well she is there now! Sorry that girl doesn't respect her mother. I do know people like that! What is Charlie's sister's name and how old is she Hedgie-Lynn/e???

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I forgot to comment that Margy gets to see James the WISE this evening YEAH YEAH!!!♥♥

hedgie said...

I am feeling like a COMPLETE IDIOTIC FOOL! I had a lunch date at noon with my friend Ann to celebrate her birthday (last week) and I FORGOT....I can't believe I did this. What is wrong with me??? No answer on either of her phones.....surprised she didn't call me and say WHERE ARE YOU??? Ha--maybe she forgot, too??!!! I HOPE! Or she's very angry with me... :(

wvgal_dana said...

Lynne2 nice flying eagle. Neat
you got it to fly. People have
been trying to get gif's but
they don't move. Use to be year
or so ago they would work. Prayers
about the car!!!

Lolly said...

Just had a neat experience a little while ago. I was sitting at the table when a rs hawk flew in and landed on the birdbath. Jack and I got to watch him for several minutes. Could not take a picture as it was amongst the trees and too many shadows.

Oh, Lynn, so sorry about the mishap. Nothing to do but reschedule to make up the error.

hedgie said...

Okay, all is well. She was worried about me, but her cell phone wouldn't work to call. She went ahead and ordered because she had a Dr's. apptmt. for 1:30.....so she ended up eating alone and called when she got out! Not mad!

Hoda said...

...and I see MEMA JO stayed out of it!!! Very wise ofcourse!!! LYNN and LOLLY both so very cute with their spat!!! LOL

Good morning / Good afternoon every one.

LORI is in a palace with four balconies and maybe even a sighting of an eagle...YEAY!!!

It promises to be 92 here today...we have clear blue skies.

Good luck with the Evaluation process DANAMO. I am sure you will be fine. A week of evaluations seems long and I understand wanting to have things go just right...Prayers come your way.

The moving avatars do not move on my computer. LYNNE'S moves on her blog page and not on the actual entries page...Good idea though.

LOLLY when I checked the fire site last night some of the older fires were put out and new ones had started felt badly about that.
Digging a ditch seems very important at this point regardless of what the article says.

stronghunter said...

Lynn, I haven't told you how many times I have forgotten bridge night. I told my friends that I would do better now that I'm not working. One of them said, "No you won't. We'll keep reminding you." Thank goodness for patient friends.

hedgie said...

Dana, her name is Trish. She's probably early-to-mid 50's. Was widowed two yrs. ago.

stronghunter said...

Lolly, your yard is an oasis for wildlife. Your reward for so much hard work.

wvgal_dana said...

Andy so HAPPY Kubby's heal
is better. PRAISE going up
from here. ( :
So nice about the gkids
doing well in school and
Guppy moving ahead in swim
class.

Lori I see you are at the
beach house. Yes we will
be wanting to know what
birds you see at the shore.
Have a restful and fun time.

Shirley you had a Seafood Feast!!

Thelma an her winning Red Skin
helmet is checking in.

LOL I love the back and forward
between Lolly and Hedgie-Lynn/e LOL
All is in fun...tattle tails ( :

Hedgie-Lynn/e sorry you missed the date with your friend. I am sure she knows you did not want to meet up with her.

hedgie said...

LOL, Shirley! Feel like it's more readily excused to forget things when we worked! Now not so much!

Lolly, glad the hawk visited....did you have water in the birdbath?

Howdy Hoda! 92! Wow...very nice. We are supposed to get markedly colder by the end of the week. Don't like that idea at all.

magpie said...

Lolly:
A cousin to the red-shouldered hawk you saw, is in my neighborhood circling on the thermals and making wonderful hawk sounds ♫ ♪
I think it has a Texas accent ☺

Lynn...sorry about the missed luncheon date, now you can work on the make-up, let us know when it will be, and will try to clobber you with reminders !

xo

magpie said...

nice pic, Dana...wish I could see it a little better, you and your Dad....

stronghunter said...

There has been a nice e-mail reminder about bridge. I think I am probably the only one who does not play several times a week. The others live in the same neighborhood and see each other regularly in one group or another. But I am trying to do better. Just checked my calendar. Third Wednesday. It is not this week. It's next week.

Kay said...

Have just spent some time skimming back over the posts since I bowed out early yesterday evening. Way too much to comment on but will say:

LOLLY, that Cowboys-Jet game was a looapolooza ! Sorry the Cowboys lost, but what an action packed game and with such colorful characters on both sides ! No way to fall asleep on that one.

JO, Roma sounds like a doll, so happy for the family. Small world isn't it aspect was really something, too !

LORI, glad the beachhouse is all you hoped for and more ! Can't wait for that eagle sighting report !

LYNN, have to tell you, it kind of makes me feel good to hear I'm not the only one with those occasional lapses in memory ! Glad your friend took it in stride !

THELMA, I loved your birthday message to SUZANNE ! Great advice !

SUZANNE, hope this is an apple dumpling dandy day for you !!!

magpie said...

Hello ☼HI☼ Sunshine Kay !

Just noticed Paula's avatar had changed last night, the one of the three firefighters raising the flag at the World Trade Center....that is one of my all-time favorite pictures, and I have it on a postcard...which I will never send!

magpie said...

time to start putting things together to head out the door for a visit with James the Wise...
Lynn I will ask him about onomatopoeia
wow tough to spell, tougher to type, going to review what it means before I ask him !

magpie said...

OH neat:
WOOF is an example of onomatopoeia

magpie said...

also Chug Chug
Puff Puff
Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong

magpie said...

by the way
my father used to say the word
WOOF when us kids were having a hard time with something, like when we were sulking....
trying to get us to smile and to break the whatever it was we were going through....
and of course
in Home Alone, "Kevin" happened to utter that when looking at a picture of his olders brother's girlfriend, now, that was NOT very nice

hedgie said...

Okay, gang.....lunch is rescheduled for NEXT Monday. This time I wrote my note in bright red marker!!! Thanks for reminders come the weekend!!

Kay, glad you are back! Did you get more stormy weather during the night? THey are predicting more here tohis afternoon and evening, so thought maybe they were coming from your area!

Gee, Shirley, bridge that often must get kind of boring! You're gonna stick to once a week, right?
I know that after retiring form GM, Bill was on 3 different bowling leagues---that was TOO much---expensive, time-consuming and physically hard. After he had to have his rotator cuff repair, and was finally able to resume, he went back to only once a week.

magpie said...

Well that's enough out of me for awhile
I guess Magpie-ing is another example of onomatopoeia


Hope the Rest of the Day is Good....
See you much much later on

xoxox ♥ (( Hugs ♥ )

wvgal_dana said...

Margy no rode work when I went to Berkeley Springs. Hope you don't encounter any hold ups--meaning road work hold ups. lol I know you will have fun with James♥♥

stronghunter said...

Onomatopoeia is one of my favorite words!

Buzz! Boom! Bang!

magpie said...

I would love to learn to play bridge....can remember often my parents and their bridge partners saying
"Trump," and "No Trump"
I like pinochle ! So I learned a little about TRUMP with that.
But haven't played it in years !

okay 'bye !

magpie said...

Thanks Dana...helps to know that!
about the roads...

Wheeee !
Shirley, we can have FUN with this!
off I go xo

magpie said...

Maybe we will see the Full Moon Rise tonight !

xoxo

stronghunter said...

Waiting to hear from Susan about her kitty, Chancey. Chancey had blood in her urine yesterday, so Susan took her to the vet. Chancey will have an ultrasound this afternoon. Some concern that she could have a mass in her bladder.

Oh, my, someone in my neighborhood is revving an engine.

stronghunter said...

Chancey is Susan's crazy kitty.

Hoda said...

Off to yoga.

Glad lunch was rescheduled for Monday LYNN.
I forget thigns often too and learnt to be kind to myself when that happens.

Glad family gathering for sea food was good SHIRLEY.

BBL. HAGD.

stronghunter said...

Posted a picture of Chancey on my blog. Chancey just be a match for Brother Cat.

stronghunter said...

Chancey just might be a match for Brother Cat.

Lynne2 said...

aw, Chauncey is so cute! Hope everything is OK with her....and YES, torties ARE different! Has there been an ongoing problem with her? Not usual for an U/S to be done if this is the first time for blood in the urine....

Lynne2 said...

I cannot explain why my eagle flies....or why Hoda can't see it fly except on my blog page. I use Firefox...could that make a difference?

Lynne2 said...

I'm going to experiment with others....

Lynne2 said...

spinning cat?

Lynne2 said...

owl flying

stronghunter said...

No, this is not a usual problem for Chancey.


I will try Firefox.

Did you copy and paste the url for the avatar, Lynne?

Lynne2 said...

butterfly

Lynne2 said...

Shirley, I went to free animation websites and downloaded (or rather Saved picture as) into my document folder of picture folder. Then retrieve them from computer.

Lynne2 said...

kitten licking

Lynne2 said...

nope....HMMMMM. Can't figure why some work and others don't.

Lynne2 said...

cat drinking

Lynne2 said...

Shirley, has Chauncey had a urinalysis and been on meds for a UTI?

hedgie said...

Nope, Lynne, only eagle and butterfly working on IE. None of the others.

Shirley, hope Chancey will be okay. Pretty cat!

stronghunter said...

Hummingbird.

stronghunter said...

Nope. Not moving.

Lynne2 said...

hummer

Lynne2 said...

I give up, can't find a common denominator for the 2 that are working while the others do not. UGH.

JudyEddy said...

JudyEddy said...

LYNN2 I love your avatar too cool

Lynne2 said...

JudyEddy said...

My neck is killing me I guess from sitting and reading today while waiting But on a good note it was a beautiful day I spent most of it outside around the lake next to the court I wanted to take picture but couldn't bring my camera not allowed in court Darn't it was a nice day

Lynne2 said...

My black and white cat spins on my blog page but not here.

the drinking cat WAS moving and isn't anymore. Butterfly, Eagle, sign and now weather are still working.

Lynne2 said...

JudyE, nice that Walmart pays you for jury duty!

JudyEddy said...

Got the bill from my SIL 120.40 parts for all the wiring he had to replace and 40 labor for him

JudyEddy said...

You all have been a chatty bunch today I will not attemp to read right now want to give this darn neck a break from todays adventures

JudyEddy said...

LYNN where are you getting your avatars from I haven't read yet I just went to look for BOLDS in case our eagles came to visit and noticed all of them

JudyEddy said...

I want to go look at the sunset tonight being it is sooooo pretty out no clouds at all should be a nice one

stronghunter said...

Maybe I put a hex on the hummingbird and the licking kitty.

JudyEddy said...

Now I have to sit and wait to see if I get a ticket in the mail I noticed I had white mark on my tires I parked in the 2hr spot which is allowed as long as you have your parking pass hanging or on dash
