LYNN your avatar is gone...what murder are you talking about...I hope no more trouble stories for Sharon, Thelma and Bev please God.Their plate seems to be full.
Hoda... about a man charged, tried and convicted of murdering his estranged wife.... she was from our area here in WV, but they had lived down near where T-Bird lived at the time... occurred Dec 19, 2007
Wow, Margy....it's a small world, isn't it??? Yep, a sad story....but thank goodness justice prevailed. Did you see the Eagle jersey in some of the pics? Wonder if she went to HHS and THEN MHS??
My goodness gracious----couldn't believe it when I saw Crunch Bob on! Hi guy, and Doris, too!!!
Shirley, you were very quiet today! Hope everything is okay.
Carolyn has a middle of the night extra shift. 4hrs. starting at 4AM....she is on call, too, Margy!
See I missed CarolAnne, too. Hope everyone returns tomorrow. Quite a few folks seem to be MIA!
Taking this tired body to bed. See you all in the morning. Prayeers for all the many needs.....and thanks for yours!!
I am headed that way, too, Lynn. It has been a long day and I am pooped. Tomorrow will be an even more so! Church in the morn and then head to Denon fast.
Sweet dreams! And special prayers for the Lynn(e)s in my life. Love you!
What a long day, it seems to me. Visited GG, pulled up dead flower plants in her back garden, replanted marigold seeds...they will somehow, survive the winter and about 50% will grow and bloom. ...Went to Hagerstown, came home and washed a load of clothes and put up a little bit of green "piney" garland on my new porch/red bows. Hope the wind doesn't blow it to parts unknown like Ceil's :) Bathed and then watched THE HANGOVER...So funny. Anxious to see HANGOVER PART II.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS SLEEP WELL AND LONG PRAYERS BEING SAID FOR ALL♥
Redskins and Jets play at 1 today! I've heard that Thelma's Buddy wears his burgandy & gold on game days! I hope Sharon is feeling well enough to watch and enjoy (subjective) the game.
Kay, how was your night with Seth? Best fish you ever baked? :)
Diann, so happy you could check in. As Wanda said, would love to hear what the doc said about your knee after surgery. Praying the pain goes away for you now.
Linda, if you get a chance to lurk, know that we love you, are praying and thinking about you and your mother. ((Big Hugs))
DanaMo's Flying Labs should be getting her up in about an hour, so I'll BBIALW...
I am up with the Flying Labs. I tried to make them stay in bed longer but Java would have no part of it. She tried to give me a bath, licking my arms and face.
Yes, DMo -- From where I am I'll be able to see it at 6:17 - 6:20 in the WNW sky...you should be approx the same time... it's a good morning to see it to, very bright today.
DanaMo it is alike an airplane with no blinking lights, this morning in our area, it will "rise" - i.e. start flying across the sky, at around 6:17 - 6:20 - today, from the WNW - and it will fly ENE - so if you can orient yourself to that direction...it will just "appear" when it gets enough glow from the sun... sometimes it's kind of herky-jerky in its flight... but it looks like an airplane, with no blinking lights... go try to find your dirctionals if you can.... it should sail across the sky pretty high up.... Good Luck !
You don't need binoculars to see it....but I take them out anyway...
Look in the WNW sky and you'll see it come up over the horizon...yes, you'll see lights, some red lights...and it's bigger than anything else moving. You'll recognize it.
My binoculars are at school in my camera bag :( But as soon as I figure out what direction I will go out and look. I'll probably miss it because I am not oriented and not sure where Monte's compass is.
I'm sure you did, DanaMo. It moves quickly in a straight line. I thought I saw flashes of a red light, but not like last time...again THOUGHT I saw! Who knows? Margy will!
it circles the planet 23 times a day....so it's OUT all the time
Did you all see the "goal posts" it went through when it was pretty far East? The left bright object is SATURN.... more on all that another time, perched now to wait on some Eagle Action... I hear little birdies chirping there now
I didn't see the flashes of a red light.... but I did see an airplane when it was pretty far east and fading out of view... it had blinking red lights...
We'll keep you posted on all that DanaMo, it is a lot of fun.... I'll send you an email in due time.. Paula got us started, and I was hooked immediately !!!
I suppose we could hear gunshots on and off, but that would be people sighting in their guns maybe...or, sometimes farmers have permits to shoot things like groundhogs....
STILL GOT THAT PATCH OF WHATEVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD. MOVING BIG STICK AROUND AND NOT AGREEING. OH YEAH REALLY MOVED THAT STICK, DIDN'T LIKE IT WHERE IT WAS, MOVED FROM ONE SIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER.
Only in our nest would be get an eagle with a spotted head and be grateful for its ID purposes...then end up with both of them with spotted heads. Too funny.
'Morning Sharon...good to see you here...Lynn let us know how you were doing...so now YOU can let us know how you are doing, sore gums, ouch! Baby food time...
Hi folks! An email worm got into my account, so if you receive a message from me that has no subject and just a link in the message body, please don't open the link. I did not send them. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Lori, funny mail happening......received your latest card (mail was not in box yesterday when the kids were here, but it was this morning when I got the papers)...no stamp on envelope, and it is stamped in red ink RETURN FOR POSTAGE. OOPS----they didn't!!! So you got a freebie!!! Thank you, sweet gal!!! Very inspiring message!
Have a little time this morning to say Hi and tell you all how much I love and miss you!!!
Many thanks for all the love, support, encouraging words, support, prayers and precious friendships!
I'm at my cousin's beach condo, first floor right on the beach and the sites and sounds of the ocean are so relaxing. They went back to their house yesterday and told me to stay here as long as I want.
Such luxury!! I am so not used to something like this!
Good morning and hello, Linda! So glad you are having a "get a way"! Time to relax and "regroup". Are things with your mom about the same? We think of you often and are keeping you in prayer.
Linda, so glad you are getting some good R&R. The seaside refreshes the soul! We miss you, too, and pray that things will get much better quickly. Sending you lots of love and prayers and (((HUGS))).
It rained all night and is still raining. This rain event is so wonderful. It will certainly help but not end the drought. Have not gone to get the paper yet, waiting for Jack to get it and he is still sleeping!!!
Lori - Thanks for your post this early AM!! Haven't had much chance to read through, but I do know the love and support is with me. ♥
Kay - Thank you for the candle avatar. So very thoughtful of you. I ♥ you!
Mom was still very anxious and shaking last night. Didn't get her psych consult Friday night, but I was told she would be seen last night.
She is still not able to move her arms, legs, hands or even keep herself upright once we sit her up without some help. It is very sad.
They are still trying to get the right balance of meds to keep her from being so anxious. It is hard when she is now under the care of doctors that weren't her regular doctors. The only doctor that remained with her at this hospital is her pulmonologist. She is still at a high risk for those problems as well as pulmonary hypertension.
It is difficult for them to do physical therapy because her blood pressure and heart rate get too high when she gets anxious. When they get enough meds in her to calm her down, she falls asleep.
It is not a good situation. She is also not willing to eat. She says she doesn't like the food, but she has even backed away from the things she usually will eat, like applesauce, pudding, shakes, etc.
Go get your feet wet!!! LOL I just got mine wet. Gave up on Jack and went and got the paper myself. Entertainment for the neighbors as I am still in my pjs and white terry robe! Oh well!
Oh Linda, Lynn is so right, the beach is good for the soul and should do you wonders. Wish your Mom could take in some of it. Glad you're getting some rejuvination! We're so happy you could check in with an update. Take care of yourself and tell Dennis we're thinking of him, too.
Lolly - I bet the neighbors had their binoculars right on your mailbox!
Market email Megan or message her on FB if you want a wreath - She is still making up her orders. I should get over there later (If I start to move and shut down my pc) I'll see what her supply is - Mine isn't finished yet so looks like I may be going next Sunday also - MTBR
I am tired. Suppose to be intown around 1-2pm. Just feel like I need to go lay down. Even though I slept good. Guess things are just catching up with me.
Praying that Sharon's gums feel much better. Ouch!
Prayers for all those that need them. Whether God's people or his creatures.
Just got my tickets for the 9?11 memorial! Can't wait to go, could only get a night time reservation. Would rather have gone int he day, but was reserving for 5. Didn't do the walking tour Kay, the tickets were free so I just did that.
Just in time to say Good Morning while it still is.
DanaMo, happy to know you got the 9/11 Memorial tickets. We didn't do the tour either. We were in the 4:30 group and it was dark by the time we got inside. I'd love to see it in daylight, but have to say it's really beautiful with all the lights on. Guess there really isn't a bad time to see it.
Lori, yes, the fish was good---Gorton's and I rock ! ☺ Twas' a nice Sat/Sun with Seth. Hugh and Malcolm picked him up at 11. Be careful with that "jumping in the shower", could be dangerous !
Sharon, we all feel your pain ! Hope the gums heal quickly.
Lynn and Margy, thanks for the Dulles and military flight pattern info.
Wanda, how did YOU put the dents in the locker ? LOL
Wow, what an educational blog we have. I now know more than I ever thought I wanted to know about Horned/Horney Toads !
Hoda, good on you for the successful luncheon/fund raiser. Kudo's to you for all your good works. Awesome !
Good blow by blow on our eagle visit this morning. The wind is blowing and gusting big time at the nest right now. Come on Belle and Shep, why not seek the shelter of your nest with it's ever growing crib "walls".
Household hint: Noticed how dirty the glass panel on the oven door was as the biscuits were baking today. Got on line and found easy remedy is a baking soda and water paste--the consistency of pancake batter. I spread it on the glass with fingers and let it set for 20 minutes, then rinsed. Voila`, I have a clean oven door.
Linda, I'm thrilled to know you are grabbing some peaceful, restorative moments at the beach. God Bless your cousin ! Prayers continue for your Mom, You and Dennis. ♥♥♥
Seems I'm all alone here---apparently everyone, including Belle and Shep has found something interesting or productive to do. So, I'm going into LM while finding something to justify my existence, too ! BBL
Back from my walk on the beach. Tried to take a picture of a whole bunch of pelicans, but couldn't figure out how to get my camera to flip from "towards me" to "towards them." Obviously I haven't used the phone camera much! LOL
They were all in a bunch and not flying because it is too windy to make any progress!! That is what a friendly ole gent told me.
The waves crashing on the beach and the water running up the shore was just gorgeous. Got my feet wet, my head cleared and really enjoyed it!
Had my shower and waiting for my mother's husband to call with his visit report. He isn't too good about asking questions of the nurse, but I will later if necessary.
Thought I'd check in on the nest since I just missed Belle & Shep this AM. Bella let me sleep in til 7 and the nest was empty when I got on. When I checked the blog, the birds had just left. Only have a few minutes to sit and watch - outside house decorating (almost 60 degrees here again today) and grocery shopping have to be done by 4pm when the Ravens game comes on. Hope everyone is enjoying the day!
Kay, you do rock! I hate getting that "I'm the only one here" feeling. Went out to the grossery store and quickly found my favorites, then home again.
Went online this morning and ordered pictures to stuff in Christmas cards. I don't have any two legged children, so you'll have to look at my two largest kids with smooshed faces - Bulldogs - Dalai and FloBear!
I haven't figured out what I am doing for our Christmas card. YOu would think that with the wedding in CA and the anniversary party I would have one good family picture? No! The family pic from CA has the bride and groom, not that I don't love them, but they are cousins. The pic from my parents party, Andrew is partially hidden in the back! Dang...plus I usually do something fun and interesting, but I haven't come up with anything yet! And of course I always include the dogs.
Happy Sunny Sunday to Everyone!☺ Hope everyone is doing OK and Sharon is getting better!♥
We have been seeing lots of crows making noise and landing in neighbor's trees across the street. Chelsea farm office and The Park have had many. Yesterday we had LOTS of blackbirds roosting in treetops.When the redwings start to go South, they fly downriver near sundown. Several years ago, our naturalist, Greg K., stayed in the PM and saw a steady stream of blackbirds for 45 minutes!!!Groups we see now are blackbirds and grackles together.
Linda, so glad the beach ealk refreshed you and gave you some peace. LOL--when I was trying to take a pic of my teen home last week with my phone, I kept having the same problem....Christie told me to close the phone....it worked, but the image was backwards! Had to flip it on the puter later!!
I do it all the time Lynne. I see the score is tied. Monte has the game on. No noon visit today. I went up for a nap and slept for quite some time. Now I need to get lesson plans completed, read a little more, and get ready for Mom and dad to come for dinner. Vacuuming for the day is complete.
Nice to have your folks coming for dinner, Dana! Whatcha fixin'?? Wish my Mom lived close enough for those kinds of visits---she's way out in St. Louis area. 92 y.o.!!!
Good afternoon all. Good report on the eagles this morning thank you. I was a bit rushed to get to yoga this morning so I did not log on. I am back from yoga and groceries and all is indeed well. I will go cook fresh salmon and vegies for my afternoon meal today.
I hear it is a close game LYNN keep us posted as to who wins in the end
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREL>
Sounds very windy at the nest.
Exciting that DANAMO gotr tickets to the 9/11 memorial. God Bless you and all of those who parisehd. Say a prayer from all of us DANAMO when you are there, please.
Get rid of Grossman, Beck, Shanahan, Snyder and all the offense and defense players and coaches....REDSKINS NEED A FRESH START, FROM THE BOTTOM UP. We have not had a winning team or an interesting season, since Snyder bought the team!!
I don't know SANDI if they are going to be back. She seemed not focused on the nest really, she was looking out and about too much...I'll hang out here a bit longer, doing the laundry and thinking of how to cook the salmon...
Thanks for the nest report, Hoda! I just missed it.
Good evening, Sandi.
Wanda, I think you're right that there's a connection to these losing Redskins AND Snyder! URGH! What a miserable season. I love watching Shanahan's face!
Lynn, I know you're not feeling any better after that game, but I will say a prayer that you get your feelin' good groove back! ♥
DanaMo, your dinner sounds so yummy! Save some for me - ribs for breakfast sounds good! Enjoy the evening with your parents & family. Extra biscuits for the Flying Labs.
OK, I'm giving up. My day wasn't totally eagle-less thanks to Miss Belle's very short drop in. Guess I'll fold laundry and watch the Ravens. Have a nice evening all!
Glad you saw the show, Hoda. She was a local girl growing up. Virginia IS beautiful! They say WV is "almost heaven" and I say that VA is "God's Country." Just a wee bit prejudiced!!! Even tho' I born in DC and lived there til I was 7, we moved to VA suburbs so it is "home."
LYNN what an unnecessary murder...I suppose all murders are!!! I am struck with an overwhelming sense of "what a waste" both her life and his...I am sad for his mother and have empathy for hers.Based on what I saw on the program I too think he is guilty...what a waste...
Yes, we do. And it works great with kids, but we also put in a lot of hours and spend a lot of our own money. I almost always do work over the weekend and I spend a great deal of my own money on things for the classroom. Then again, I like to have "stuff" for the classroom, so if I have to buy it myself I do. But honestly I couldn't ask for a better "vocation". I really feel it is what I was called to do, after being a mom. ☺

Hoda...
about a man charged, tried and convicted of murdering his estranged wife....

THANKS MARGY. I think there must be a program you are watching. There was mention of 48 Hours earlier and this is a crime show.
My Good Evening is going to be a
Good Night for me...
Have read the comments and feel like

Saying many many prayers......
Hugs for all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Give my love to Megan if you do make it to market Jo....
xoxo Good Night, Sleep Tight....
*I am working Sunday, AND on call, a double whammy *
Yes, Hoda...48 hours...
eyeballs are now down to the ankles...that's an expression of Wanda's -maybe it is the eyeLIDS not eyeballs...
Thanks, Lynn, a show well worth watching, though, troubling...and sad
Sending up Prayers for our needs and concerns...
Hope that Sleep is Sweet and Restorative...
Good Night, Precious Pals
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
In case no one else gets around to it....
Let's All Set the Night Lights for Everyone as we head to the Pillows...
Deal? Deal !

Sweet dreams!
Geez, the day just got away from me today and I'm very, very tired tonight.
Didn't do a thing today but sure feel like I ran a marathon.
Heading to bed to rest for football Sunday. Prayers for all needs. ♥♥♥♥
Many have not checked in tonight. I hope all is well. I send prayers and Light to you all.
I am glad the night light is on and that we all know to pray and to celebrate.
God's Blessings.
Goodnight. See you tomorrow God Willing.
What a long day, it seems to me. Visited GG, pulled up dead flower plants in her back garden, replanted marigold seeds...they will somehow, survive the winter and about 50% will grow and bloom. ...Went to Hagerstown, came home and washed a load of clothes and put up a little bit of green "piney" garland on my new porch/red bows. Hope the wind doesn't blow it to parts unknown like Ceil's :)
Bathed and then watched THE HANGOVER...So funny. Anxious to see HANGOVER PART II.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL AND LONG
PRAYERS BEING SAID FOR ALL♥
My dear Diann...won't you tell us about your surgery and what the doctor expects as an outcome?
Hope it is all good news♥
Hoda, I do believe that you did a great job today. You are a great organizer:)
Sounds like all had a very nice time!
Good Morning Eagle Family!
Redskins and Jets play at 1 today!
I've heard that Thelma's Buddy wears his burgandy & gold on game days! I hope Sharon is feeling well enough to watch and enjoy (subjective) the game.
Kay, how was your night with Seth? Best fish you ever baked? :)
Diann, so happy you could check in. As Wanda said, would love to hear what the doc said about your knee after surgery. Praying the pain goes away for you now.
Linda, if you get a chance to lurk, know that we love you, are praying and thinking about you and your mother. ((Big Hugs))
DanaMo's Flying Labs should be getting her up in about an hour, so I'll BBIALW...
Good morning!
I am up with the Flying Labs. I tried to make them stay in bed longer but Java would have no part of it. She tried to give me a bath, licking my arms and face.
Good Morning Eagle Pals Lori and DanaMo and all the assorted pet life at your roosts....
Skies clear as a bell here, will be headed out at 6:15 sharp to get into position to watch for ISS....
then will scoot back in, and watch and wait for some Eagle Action...
No hunting today in WV..It is Sunday !
Good morning Margy!
Good Morning Margy and DanaMo!
Thanks for the ISS reminders, Margy. Should be a good one this morning...high and bright.
Lovely to hear from two dear Momsters post-midnight this morning, Wanda...and Diann...
Love that avatar, Diann.... you have beautiful ones, always ! I hope you are sleeping like a baby right now though....
xoxo ♥
normally I would be off today, but I would have still gotten up to watch for the Space Station....
got a few things to do before then, so, See You After that...
Best wishes for a good day, hope it is starting out well !
xo ♥
So you can see the ISS?
Yes, DMo -- From where I am I'll be able to see it at 6:17 - 6:20 in the WNW sky...you should be approx the same time... it's a good morning to see it to, very bright today.
So at 6:17 I should be able to see something?
What will I see? What am I looking for, lights?
DanaMo
it is alike an airplane with no blinking lights, this morning in our area, it will "rise" - i.e. start flying across the sky, at around 6:17 - 6:20 - today, from the WNW - and it will fly ENE -
so if you can orient yourself to that direction...it will just "appear" when it gets enough glow from the sun...
sometimes it's kind of herky-jerky in its flight...
but it looks like an airplane, with no blinking lights...
go try to find your dirctionals if you can....
it should sail across the sky pretty high up....
Good Luck !
You don't need binoculars to see it....but I take them out anyway...
Well now I have to figure out WNW geez...
Look in the WNW sky and you'll see it come up over the horizon...yes, you'll see lights, some red lights...and it's bigger than anything else moving. You'll recognize it.
ISS Watchers at your service ☺
My binoculars are at school in my camera bag :( But as soon as I figure out what direction I will go out and look. I'll probably miss it because I am not oriented and not sure where Monte's compass is.
okay I think I need to be out front. The sun is on the back of my house most of the day so that makes that the East, right? I hope so
Great view of the ISS...moving fast and proud!
I will assume that I saw it, it was the only thing moving in the sky.
Oh that was a good flyover....
yes, it was the only thing I saw moving in the sky, I think it was headed straight for the Sycamaore Palace !
It's out at different times and days....sometimes in the evenings...
I'm sure you did, DanaMo. It moves quickly in a straight line. I thought I saw flashes of a red light, but not like last time...again THOUGHT I saw! Who knows? Margy will!
it circles the planet 23 times a day....so it's OUT all the time
Did you all see the "goal posts" it went through when it was pretty far East? The left bright object is SATURN....
more on all that another time, perched now to wait on some Eagle Action... I hear little birdies chirping there now
I didn't see the flashes of a red light....
but I did see an airplane when it was pretty far east and fading out of view...
it had blinking red lights...
Cool...I will have to check it out again.
We'll keep you posted on all that DanaMo, it is a lot of fun....
I'll send you an email in due time..
Paula got us started, and I was hooked immediately !!!
I suppose we could hear gunshots on and off, but that would be people sighting in their guns maybe...or, sometimes farmers have permits to shoot things like groundhogs....
EAGLE ACTION
I think it's SHEP
I turned to practice my reading and turned back to find Belle?
I thought I saw the V but you know better than I.
JUST SITTING AT THE 11 LOOKING ALL AROUND AND ABOVE
FLY IN FROM THE 3:00, MOVING FLUGG
There's Momma !
They're moving the Deer Leg Stick around
STILL GOT THAT PATCH OF WHATEVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD. MOVING BIG STICK AROUND AND NOT AGREEING. OH YEAH REALLY MOVED THAT STICK, DIDN'T LIKE IT WHERE IT WAS, MOVED FROM ONE SIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER.
OKAY SO BELLE WAS THE SECOND ONE IN IT SOUNDS LIKE ACCORDING TO MARGY, I REALLY COULDN'T TELL AT ALL FOR SOME REASON. BOTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEST.
Only in our nest would be get an eagle with a spotted head and be grateful for its ID purposes...then end up with both of them with spotted heads. Too funny.
MOVING OR ATTEMPTING TO MOVE ANOTHER BIG TWIG GEEZ NOT HAPPY WITH THE NEST LOTS TO DO
Right Lori, I really am having a hard time.
Can't believe they are still messing with that forked branch. Guess it needs a special location.
A LITTLE TUSSLE! SHEP HAD THE BRANCH AS IF HE WAS USING IT AS AN EAGLE DEVINING ROD!
I heard clicking, but I don't know where the pictures went. Maybe I will find them...lol. I think I used a different capture than I usually use.
There was quite an argument over that branch!
DanaMo
we're thinking Belle has the messier head...
I also go by the Toes, Shep has an ugly left toe...
But I'm not sure, so don't go by me...
And Belle RULES when it comes to sticks !
That one shoulda gone overboard
GREAT BEAKING ACTION
Ah, I missing JudyE! Hope she gets her computer back and working right very soon.
LITTLE BIT OF TALKING LOVE THAT!
COLOR
Seems so strange that they both have a dot on the top of the head.
BELLE POOFS OUT OVER 2
SHEP POOFS FROM 4
Follow the Leader !!
Must be their Breakfast time....the fish are waiting..
Deleted mine looks like I had the eagles reversed. I thought Shep left first.
I wonder if that deer leg will be incorporated into the nest structure. Did you see Belle pick it up and put it down just before she poofed?
Time to reheat the coffee and start getting ready for Mass.
Happy Second Sunday of Advent.
sure does, DanaMo...
seem strange...
Shep's looked a little more "X-ey" when he was closer to us there....
DM, what's your reading for today's service? You said you were practicing it.
I did see that Lori !
Thank DanaMo, same to you...wondering if you have lectoring this morning..or another ministry....
I have to get dressed.....
that was a good 20-minute or so visit...
catch you before I leave for work
xoxo ♥
Jumping in the shower here...hope they take a break for a little bit. Maybe Shirley is lurking.
A reading from the Second letter of St. Peter! ☺
Monte and I are lectors.Have been for about 20 years. No matter which parish we belonged to.
that's great DanaMo...I'm sure you both do a wonderful job....
Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone
Hoping that Megan makes Big $$ today at market....
Enjoy if you go, Jo... hope you can...
worktime for me...
ttfn xoxo ♥
Oh, I would love to go to the market and get a fresh wreath from Megan...doesn't work out today. I bet they smell heavenly!
Good morning my eagle budlets.
CLUNKING ON THE CAM
Me too Lori. What does next Sunday look like for you?
Good morning Sharon.
It would be nice if they drop down again.
My mouth is feeling some better. :-)
Sharon, I hope you're feeling better. It sounds so painful. (((Hugs)))
DanaMo, next Sunday is probably okay. Nothing on the calendar now!
Sharon, are you gargling with warm salt water? Tastes yucky but always seems to help. I had mouth ulcers twice, so I feel your pain.
'Morning Sharon...good to see you here...Lynn let us know how you were doing...so now YOU can let us know how you are doing, sore gums, ouch! Baby food time...
Like that Avatar !!
Hello Morning Eagle Pals...
from work
What did you have done Sharon?
Oh good Lori, maybe we can meet, and of course take a ride down the road to the nest too.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH EMAIL FROM DELPHIA. SUSPECT SHE HAS BEEN HACKED. DO NOT OPEN TIL WE HEAR FROM HER!!!!
Hi folks! An email worm got into my account, so if you receive a message from me that has no subject and just a link in the message body, please don't open the link. I did not send them. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Lori, funny mail happening......received your latest card (mail was not in box yesterday when the kids were here, but it was this morning when I got the papers)...no stamp on envelope, and it is stamped in red ink RETURN FOR POSTAGE. OOPS----they didn't!!! So you got a freebie!!! Thank you, sweet gal!!! Very inspiring message!
OMG, Lynn. I'm so sorry. That's what happens when you're stuffing things in the mailbox at 4am...you can't see!
Good Morning Dear Ones!!
Have a little time this morning to say Hi and tell you all how much I love and miss you!!!
Many thanks for all the love, support, encouraging words, support, prayers and precious friendships!
I'm at my cousin's beach condo, first floor right on the beach and the sites and sounds of the ocean are so relaxing. They went back to their house yesterday and told me to stay here as long as I want.
Such luxury!! I am so not used to something like this!
Lori, no need to apologize! P.O. just cost themselves the postage!!!
Good morning and hello, Linda! So glad you are having a "get a way"! Time to relax and "regroup". Are things with your mom about the same? We think of you often and are keeping you in prayer.
Linda, so glad you are getting some good R&R. The seaside refreshes the soul! We miss you, too, and pray that things will get much better quickly. Sending you lots of love and prayers and (((HUGS))).
It rained all night and is still raining. This rain event is so wonderful. It will certainly help but not end the drought. Have not gone to get the paper yet, waiting for Jack to get it and he is still sleeping!!!
Lori - Thanks for your post this early AM!! Haven't had much chance to read through, but I do know the love and support is with me. ♥
Kay - Thank you for the candle avatar. So very thoughtful of you. I ♥ you!
Mom was still very anxious and shaking last night. Didn't get her psych consult Friday night, but I was told she would be seen last night.
She is still not able to move her arms, legs, hands or even keep herself upright once we sit her up without some help. It is very sad.
They are still trying to get the right balance of meds to keep her from being so anxious. It is hard when she is now under the care of doctors that weren't her regular doctors. The only doctor that remained with her at this hospital is her pulmonologist. She is still at a high risk for those problems as well as pulmonary hypertension.
It is difficult for them to do physical therapy because her blood pressure and heart rate get too high when she gets anxious. When they get enough meds in her to calm her down, she falls asleep.
It is not a good situation. She is also not willing to eat. She says she doesn't like the food, but she has even backed away from the things she usually will eat, like applesauce, pudding, shakes, etc.
So we just don't know what to expect.....
Thanks Lynn and Lolly! Nice to see you here, too!
It is REALLY windy and the ocean is rough! I love it when it is cool and the waves are crashing on the shore like this.
I think I am going to take a little walk and get my feet wet!
BBL
(((((HUGS))))) to you ♥♥♥
Go get your feet wet!!! LOL I just got mine wet. Gave up on Jack and went and got the paper myself. Entertainment for the neighbors as I am still in my pjs and white terry robe! Oh well!
Off to read the paper now.
Oh Linda, Lynn is so right, the beach is good for the soul and should do you wonders. Wish your Mom could take in some of it. Glad you're getting some rejuvination! We're so happy you could check in with an update. Take care of yourself and tell Dennis we're thinking of him, too.
Good Good Morning! 2nd Sunday of Advent!
Christmas is a coming!
Linda I feel so good knowing that
you are relaxing - seashore is the best place to calm your mind and try to accept things.
Lori-Margy-DanaMO - The great ISS viewers! I have seen it once or twice
before and marvel at the sight.
Remember - DO NOT OPEN
Delphia's No Subject email. Wormy
Lolly - I bet the neighbors had their
binoculars right on your mailbox!
Market email Megan or message her
on FB if you want a wreath - She is still making up her orders. I should get
over there later (If I start to move and shut down my pc) I'll see what her
supply is - Mine isn't finished yet so
looks like I may be going next Sunday
also - MTBR
Lynn - you ready for this game?!
Fill up your Redskin mug and sit down
with Liesl and enjoy!
Going to get dressed!
Morning all,
Here's some food for thought during this holiday season:
Where's the line to see Jesus?
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=OExXItDyWEY&vq=medium
Off to the inlaws to lend a hand today.
Here CarolAnne I'll help you out ....I LOVE THAT SONG~!!!!!!!!!!
CarolAnne's above http song just CLICK below
Where's The Line To See Jesus
CarolAnne---that is lovely!!!! I put it on Momster mail, with credit to you!!
I love all the different avatars. So cheeful.
I am tired. Suppose to be intown around 1-2pm. Just feel like I need to go lay down. Even though I slept good. Guess things are just catching up with me.
Praying that Sharon's gums feel much better. Ouch!
Prayers for all those that need them. Whether God's people or his creatures.
Think I will lie back down.
Oh, yes, gang, I am ready for the game!!! Redskins shirt on and mug will be filled come 1pm!!!! GO SKINS!
You go Lynn! I hope today's game bring a Victory!
CA - that song is sooooo inspirational
and really sends out a message! Thanks!♥
My market trip is going to take place next week.... that is when I can pick up
my wreath and maybe see some Momsters.
Just got my tickets for the 9?11 memorial! Can't wait to go, could only get a night time reservation. Would rather have gone int he day, but was reserving for 5. Didn't do the walking tour Kay, the tickets were free so I just did that.
* 9/11 *
Just in time to say Good Morning while it still is.
DanaMo, happy to know you got the 9/11 Memorial tickets. We didn't do the tour either. We were in the 4:30 group and it was dark by the time we got inside. I'd love to see it in daylight, but have to say it's really beautiful with all the lights on. Guess there really isn't a bad time to see it.
Lori, yes, the fish was good---Gorton's and I rock ! ☺ Twas' a nice Sat/Sun with Seth. Hugh and Malcolm picked him up at 11. Be careful with that "jumping in the shower", could be dangerous !
Sharon, we all feel your pain ! Hope the gums heal quickly.
Lynn and Margy, thanks for the Dulles and military flight pattern info.
Wanda, how did YOU put the dents in the locker ? LOL
Wow, what an educational blog we have. I now know more than I ever thought I wanted to know about Horned/Horney Toads !
Hoda, good on you for the successful luncheon/fund raiser. Kudo's to you for all your good works. Awesome !
Good blow by blow on our eagle visit this morning. The wind is blowing and gusting big time at the nest right now. Come on Belle and Shep, why not seek the shelter of your nest with it's ever growing crib "walls".
Household hint: Noticed how dirty the glass panel on the oven door was as the biscuits were baking today. Got on line and found easy remedy is a baking soda and water paste--the consistency of pancake batter. I spread it on the glass with fingers and let it set for 20 minutes, then rinsed. Voila`, I have a clean oven door.
Linda, I'm thrilled to know you are grabbing some peaceful, restorative moments at the beach. God Bless your cousin ! Prayers continue for your Mom, You and Dennis. ♥♥♥
Seems I'm all alone here---apparently everyone, including Belle and Shep has found something interesting or productive to do. So, I'm going into LM while finding something to justify my existence, too ! BBL
Don't we usually get a noon time visit? I'm ready...
Thanks for the household hint, Kay-louise!! LOL
Back from my walk on the beach. Tried to take a picture of a whole bunch of pelicans, but couldn't figure out how to get my camera to flip from "towards me" to "towards them." Obviously I haven't used the phone camera much! LOL
They were all in a bunch and not flying because it is too windy to make any progress!! That is what a friendly ole gent told me.
The waves crashing on the beach and the water running up the shore was just gorgeous. Got my feet wet, my head cleared and really enjoyed it!
Had my shower and waiting for my mother's husband to call with his visit report. He isn't too good about asking questions of the nurse, but I will later if necessary.
Thought I'd check in on the nest since I just missed Belle & Shep this AM. Bella let me sleep in til 7 and the nest was empty when I got on. When I checked the blog, the birds had just left. Only have a few minutes to sit and watch - outside house decorating (almost 60 degrees here again today) and grocery shopping have to be done by 4pm when the Ravens game comes on. Hope everyone is enjoying the day!
Well lOOk! It's the Early Birds at noon!
Kay, you do rock! I hate getting that "I'm the only one here" feeling. Went out to the grossery store and quickly found my favorites, then home again.
Went online this morning and ordered pictures to stuff in Christmas cards. I don't have any two legged children, so you'll have to look at my two largest kids with smooshed faces - Bulldogs - Dalai and FloBear!
Okay, this makes it the Early Birds, plus Linda, who we all know is NOT an early person. ♥
I haven't figured out what I am doing for our Christmas card. YOu would think that with the wedding in CA and the anniversary party I would have one good family picture? No! The family pic from CA has the bride and groom, not that I don't love them, but they are cousins. The pic from my parents party, Andrew is partially hidden in the back! Dang...plus I usually do something fun and interesting, but I haven't come up with anything yet! And of course I always include the dogs.
I'm more interested in the animals most times anyway Lori! LOL!
Happy Sunny Sunday to Everyone!☺
Hope everyone is doing OK and Sharon is getting better!♥
We have been seeing lots of crows making noise and landing in neighbor's trees across the street.
Chelsea farm office and The Park have had many. Yesterday we had LOTS of blackbirds roosting in treetops.When the redwings start to go South, they fly downriver near sundown. Several years ago, our naturalist, Greg K., stayed in the PM and saw a steady stream of blackbirds for 45 minutes!!!Groups we see now are blackbirds and grackles together.
LYNN, was wondering what you have in that mug, now that the game is on!?!?
REDSKINS SCORE!!!!!
Loretta, not to dis the various black birds, but wish it was eagles in those hordes!!!
Linda, so glad the beach ealk refreshed you and gave you some peace.
LOL--when I was trying to take a pic of my teen home last week with my phone, I kept having the same problem....Christie told me to close the phone....it worked, but the image was backwards! Had to flip it on the puter later!!
Iced tea, Lori!!!! That's mostly all I drink! Gotta say that I am NOT feeling good today.....maybe I should make it something else???!!!!
Tied game. :( 7-7.
10-7, SKINS!
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
GOOD MORNING,

♫ ♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOLLY'S LAUREL!!! ♪ ♫ Another 39 yr. old!!!
Huh---see I've been talking to myself for a long time!!
I do it all the time Lynne. I see the score is tied. Monte has the game on. No noon visit today. I went up for a nap and slept for quite some time. Now I need to get lesson plans completed, read a little more, and get ready for Mom and dad to come for dinner. Vacuuming for the day is complete.
Jets pooched a field goal! Redskins ball!
Gee, turn ,my back and game is tied.......argh!
Nice to have your folks coming for dinner, Dana! Whatcha fixin'??
Wish my Mom lived close enough for those kinds of visits---she's way out in St. Louis area. 92 y.o.!!!
Bar-B-Que ribs, baked potatos, salad for dinner.
16-13 Skins!!!! 7:52 left in game!
Excellent menu, Dana---and not a lot of work on your part!!! Is Monte the grill master??
Monte says he didn't think this game was suppose to be so close...I said don't ask me, ask the Momsters.
Well we marinated them yesterday (he did) and I just wrapped them in aluminum foil and put them on the grill.
Ut oh...Jets just scored.
DAMN---Jets just scored a TD....ARGH!!!!! Come on, Skins......gotta win this. Down by 4---it'll take a TD!
GROSSman coughs it up, Jets recover. It's all over. DAMN IT!
BOOOOO
Good afternoon all.
Good report on the eagles this morning thank you.
I was a bit rushed to get to yoga this morning so I did not log on. I am back from yoga and groceries and all is indeed well. I will go cook fresh salmon and vegies for my afternoon meal today.
I hear it is a close game LYNN keep us posted as to who wins in the end
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREL>
Sounds very windy at the nest.
Exciting that DANAMO gotr tickets to the 9/11 memorial. God Bless you and all of those who parisehd. Say a prayer from all of us DANAMO when you are there, please.
Good sighting of the ISS. Well done.
Oh Dear I think the Redskins lost...Sorry LYNN
Thank you for the warning in regards to Delphia's hacked email.
Brrr, back from splitting & stacking firewood at the inlaws. Temps are dropping from high in the 40's to about 27.
Thanks WVDANA for fixing the song link. Glad it was liked by others.
Off to warm up & watch the Packers. Almost lost my state citizenship when I had the "non-Packer" jersey sent here before forwarding to Hedgie. lol
UNBELIEVABLE...two Jet scores in less than 4 mins. What a wasted afternoon.
34-19....
Get rid of Grossman, Beck, Shanahan, Snyder and all the offense and defense players and coaches....REDSKINS NEED A FRESH START, FROM THE BOTTOM UP.
We have not had a winning team or an interesting season, since Snyder bought the team!!
Sinks left us down....... They probably feel rotten too!
I did nap a little.....
Off to eat a salad and some soup..
BBILW
SHEP IN NEST
NO IT IS BELLE
LOOKING AROUNDAND SITTING OVER THEOLD CUP AREA
WHITE FEATHERS SEEM TO B LOOOSE ON HER NECK
IS SHE GOING TO POOF? yep SHE JUST DID
Not a long visit but a visit all the same.
That was quick!
Night light on...
yes Sandi she was not here long at all, but I am glad I saw her.
I missed them this AM, so I'm hoping the visit isn't over yet!
I don't know SANDI if they are going to be back. She seemed not focused on the nest really, she was looking out and about too much...I'll hang out here a bit longer, doing the laundry and thinking of how to cook the salmon...
Thanks for the nest report, Hoda! I just missed it.
Good evening, Sandi.
Wanda, I think you're right that there's a connection to these losing Redskins AND Snyder! URGH! What a miserable season. I love watching Shanahan's face!
Lynn, I know you're not feeling any better after that game, but I will say a prayer that you get your feelin' good groove back! ♥
Is anyone else seeing the deer(?) below the nest??
DanaMo, your dinner sounds so yummy! Save some for me - ribs for breakfast sounds good! Enjoy the evening with your parents & family. Extra biscuits for the Flying Labs.
Something is walking/grazing - upper left on the screen. I'm thinking deer?
Where - on the clock - are they, Sandi?
Hmmmm... are they still there?
They were at about 10 - there were 5 or 6 of them but I don't see them now.
I missed the deer Sandi...I am glad they survived the shooting from yesterday...
OK, I'm giving up. My day wasn't totally eagle-less thanks to Miss Belle's very short drop in. Guess I'll fold laundry and watch the Ravens. Have a nice evening all!
Missed the visit and the deer...:( Good to know that at least one survived the hunt!
Right, Jo.....the SINKS!!!! Wish we could clone a young Jack Kent Cooke and Joe Gibbs and bring back the glory days!
The Sinks! Had to do a double-take on that one, Jo!
I found the 48 Hour Program that LYNN and MARGY watched last night. Virginia sure is pretty...
OK explain The Sinks please???
Looks like the CBS line-up will be ON TIME tonight, for a change! No double-header FB game today!
Hoda....since the Skins performed so badly, Jo named them the SINKS!
Glad you saw the show, Hoda. She was a local girl growing up.
Virginia IS beautiful! They say WV is "almost heaven" and I say that VA is "God's Country." Just a wee bit prejudiced!!! Even tho' I born in DC and lived there til I was 7, we moved to VA suburbs so it is "home."
Found it sadly and ironically appropriate that Jocelyn's alma mater won the state football championship on the same day they aired the show.
I am so sorry they seem to choke up when the game is about to finish...Sorry they lost
Missed the visit, it was during dinner. oh well.
Gee the weekend is over. Ready for a new week to begin. Only 10 days until vacation! Yipee! Busy weeks ahead.
I shoulda been a teacher - you guys have great vacation schedules!
LYNN what an unnecessary murder...I suppose all murders are!!! I am struck with an overwhelming sense of "what a waste" both her life and his...I am sad for his mother and have empathy for hers.Based on what I saw on the program I too think he is guilty...what a waste...
Yes, we do. And it works great with kids, but we also put in a lot of hours and spend a lot of our own money. I almost always do work over the weekend and I spend a great deal of my own money on things for the classroom. Then again, I like to have "stuff" for the classroom, so if I have to buy it myself I do. But honestly I couldn't ask for a better "vocation". I really feel it is what I was called to do, after being a mom. ☺
