Thank you Steve - Countdown has begun
Merry Christmas to you and your family
I will call the others to the fresh
thread......
Thanks for the new thread Steve and thanks for the call over JO
Just posted this on the old thread but thought I'd bring it over. My principal showed up in my office (fortunately, I was doing paperwork, not just staring at the computer screen) but I had the cam up. Turns out, he's a big eagle fan and asked me to write down the URL for the cam and give it to his daughter, who is an 8th grader on our team! So he stayed and watched with me for about 15 minutes!! =) He told me a story about a local developer who wanted to build houses on a peninsula, cut down a tree with an eagle's nest in it a few years ago, and is currently in federal prison for the offense! I'll have to Google that to see if I can find the news story.
Opened my window! Beautiful outside.
*waves* thanks for the heads up
Sandi, I'd love to get a link to that article if you find it.
Yup, hard to believe it's the first day of winter here.
Cool, Sandi!
I skimmed the blog really fast. Hope I did not miss anything important.
Slept really late this morning and I was going to get an early start. Forget that!
Have tons to do today....so I am off! Have a great day!
The weather is beautiful and I sure hope
it stays around for a week or so..
Like others, I have a ton of little
things to do and I best get started.
BBILW
I guess I'm the only one who would like to see a white Christmas!?!
Gotta run a few errands - Central Dawgma for kibble, grossery store... I'll check out your pics when I return, DanaMo. And, she's off.....pretend you're hearing the Bonanza theme here. :) BBL
I want snow!
Making my "famous" cookies again today. Getting ready to start. I've already been to a half dozen stores and I'm back home again.
Dogs are out on the deck soaking up this glorious sunshine. I say no to snow. Maybe at the end of January when I need a snow day, but for now I am loving these temperatures.
I'd love to know the whole story about the guy who cut the tree down with the eagle nest in it. Did he know the nest was there...did he know about the law protecting eagles? If so...OFF WITH HIS HEAD:)
DANA, you must make your famous cookies and bring them to our Open House party in April!
LOLLY brought her famous cheese cake to us one year, one of the Bluefield sisters brought cornflakes with peanut butter cookies, or some confection like that...so good!
I made kolaches one year, it's a Slavic pastry which can be filled with just about anything. Jam for a dessert, mincemeat for a side dish, etc. The recipe said it made 12 and I decided to double the recipe. Turned out to make a LOT more and my hands were so tired from kneading the dough! But they were good. :)
OK, Delphia, you can bring your goodies in April...we would be so happy to see you AND your goodies:)
I sure wish I could make it, I've been a Momster for so many years and haven't met any of you in person yet LOL
I see I missed another good visit with Belle and Shep. I'm glad they're now spending more time in the nest now, giving almost everyone a chance to see them in the course of a day !
DANAMO, the pics are grrreat ! Easy to see you had a terrific time. Thanks so much for sharing the joy !
RED, that is one of my favorite Christmas greetings and this is the 1st time I've seen it this year. Thanks and again, it's so nice to have you back !
SANDI, aha, we have a potential Dadster in your principal. What an intrigueing story he shared. Isn't it nice to find you have a shared interest and that he'll understand any time he "catches" you watching our birds ?!
Thanks Kay. Might take me a little while to get back in the groove. lol
Steve, a great big thank you for the new thread on this Springlike first day of Winter ! We do SO appreciate your sharing this blog with us ! Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday and a wonderful 2012. I hope we of the Class of 2011 will get to meet you in April !
The lighting at the nest right now shows how deep the nest cup is. They are certainly working at getting it ready for action.
Time to make myself useful. Have a good day everyone :)
You are asking for snow No way I love my weather its so wonderful out 81 I thinks will be the high today 65 it was when we woke up nice as it can be we are about23 ° warmer that our norm
Jordyn is down for a much needed nap and I should go clean or do laundry but I still have to finish putting the video of Jordyns dance on the dance page BBL gonna go do some now and then hope to do housecleaning
Well good morning/ good afternoon everyone...
WOW TWO VISITS and the first one was for a long period. Thanks for the reporting.
It is funny but for some reason I feel a need to clarify this: Catherine is NOT a princess. She is a Duchess and when they were looking for a title she would have become Princess WIlliam had the Queen chosen Princess for her...She is not a born Royal that is why. Diana believe it or not became known as Princess Diana because Prince Charles requested that it become so. When they divorced he withdrew the title and then she died. The Queen offered to restore Princes posthumously, but the Earl of Spencer, Diana's Brother, turned her down. She is now known as DIANA Princess of Wales but not Princess Diana...So Catherine technically is NOT a princess...We have Princess Michael of Kent, who is married to the Queen's cousin, but we do not have Princess William of Cambridge, we have the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge...
So why does this matter to anyone really? It just seemed important for me to share...Don't mind me.
SPRING LIKE weather STEVE says...WOW, not here it is not spring and we are predicting more snow in the forcast...SHARON you can come up here for Christmas...it will be white...bring your woolies though...
NOW Potent rum balls for cleaning ovens???LOL SUZAN that is funny...
In all of this typing I am very glad LYNN slept well and prayers for her as she undergoes her first radiation treatment...God Bless her and sustain her...
It is 19 degrees here, not too springy I would say...woolens for sure today...speaks of sun though.
Well at least I made it on here today.
Just could not get up and stay up.
I'm sure getting rid of the cold for Christmas is doing it.
Good to see everyone!!! (:
Red it does me good to see you on here!!!!
So happy Sandi about the principal liking eagles. Hope you can find the article would be could to know more.
Wanda remember the eagle cane is for smacking....not taking off heads lol I loved it!!!! lol lol
JudyE who wanted to see the videos you gave me?
I have a pot of vegetable soup cooking and it is starving me to death!
I am off to get ready to go to yoga...Have a GREAT day everyone. I lovemy book: THE HELP...great read so far got used to the slang writing that comes up...
BBL
Sharon how is your cold?
Sharon how is your cold?
I see the smell of the amora of the vodka hit many last night lol
It is a little better Dana, thanks for asking.
Very proud of Aric's first semester. He got 2 A's, 2 B's and 1 C. He had a tough load with Physics, Calculus/Geometry, History, English, Engineering, and Religion.
I would be happy to bring my cookies in April to the open house.
Those were peanut butter chews and I can make them better than those I brought. They were too dry.
DANAMO! Thank you so much for posting your pictures here. They are wonderful and thank you for the captions. Loved them!
Sharon, glad you're feeling a little better. Veggie soup sounds great and makes me hungry, too!
Lynn, I hope you're still feeling well and not dealing with nausea.
Wanda, how did your ortho appointment go? Any surgery date?
KAY, and your ortho said?????? Did you get the shot you wanted?

DanaMO, great pics. Thanks for the captions. NYC is so pretty at Christmas time. Did you see the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall?

Hoda, sounds like the first day of winter in your place!

My nephew and wife invited me long ago to Christmas Eve dinner around 3 tomorrow. I have been so sick with this sinus and cold. I want to make sure I am better so I haven't even been out except to get the meds. Which I am not finsihed yet. So I hope they don't get upset. I am calling them to tell them not this year maybe next. Mother is all alone and I want to be better so I can be with her for Christmas. I haven't even gotten all I wanted to get her. Will have to finish after I am much better. Do feel I will be able to go to Mother's on Christmas.
Do you all think I am doing the right thing. Mother may not be around next Christmas ... only God knows. I don't want to pick up anyting from nephews little ones.
Thelma I think you got your computer back..very happy for you. (:
DanaWV - go with your heart. I say enjoy every second you can with your mom.
Yes, T-Bird did get her computer back.
Hi all! Officially Christmas break for me for the next 11 days - YAY!! Judy, I think I read that the new FB look will go public on the 24th. So, when is this Momster outing at the nest in April?? I'm wondering if it coincides with my spring break?
Sandi, it is for NCTC Open House which is April 21. I so hope you can come! :)
I found 2 articles about the guy who was caught and sentenced for cutting down a tree in DE with an eagle's nest in it. The nest had 2 eaglets in it when he cut the tree down. Can someone tell me how to put a hyperlink to the articles on the blog? April 21st isn't during my spring break but it IS on a Saturday. What time is the open house?
I think it is 10-4 Sandi. Normally Wanda and Gene have the Eagle Express parked near the nest so we can cool off in there if we have to or warm up, whatever the case may be. It is a wonderful time and hopefully there will be eaglets in the nest for us to watch. It used to be in the fall after the eaglets had already fledged.
It's about a 4-hour drive from Bethany to Shepherdstown. But it's a little less than 2 hours from Balto. to Shepherdstown. I could drive to my mom's Friday night, then bring my mom with me to NCTC, stop by P.I.G.S to see Sir Bryan and Posey (my granddonkey and grandpig), then drive back to my mom's to spend the night and drive back to Bethany on Sunday. I got my mom hooked on the eagle cams a few years ago - NBG is her favorite. I think she cried for a week when Mama Norfolk was killed. I bet she'd love to come with me! Sounds like a plan!!
Finally got the three short video of Jordyn on blog for thoese who havn't see them
three video of Jordyn dance program
the last one is the end and she is at the end with two other girl they enter the stage from the far end of the stage backwards tooo cute I am so proud of her she is the shorter one and the youngest also
Jordyn and I are watching Tinkerbell on TV I DVRd it so she can watch again tooo cool she loves Tinkerbell She went with Angie to the movie with a girlfriend and loved the movie and watched the whole thing
Oh Sandi sounds like a wonderful plan...you and your Mom...Oh Boy!!!! Your getting me exciting for April. (:

Parents of the other child wanted to drop the boys off at a video game place for the evening. Kathryn was not happy with that plan.
The boy's dad said that they do know the people behind the counter at the video place . . . Probably they do not want to babysit eleven-year-old boys for that long, though.
Wow, beaking.

MORE BEAKING AND PICKING AT CUP BY BELLE AND SHEP LOOKS ANT HER SHE MOVES TO 10
HE LOOKS CROUCHED DOWN SORT OF
BEAKING BEAKING HE SHE POOFS

Our visitors arrived safely w/kitty yesterday. There was a lot of hissing and nosiness going on. Today, they are pretty much doing their own thing away from each other. Kids went downtown on subway & have never returned! LOL.We are planning to go one night to Zoofest, where they have everything lit up from 5-9 PM.If they call soon, I'll tell them to go on to that since they're already downtown.
We have one trip to Solomons planned--Sherry wants to go to jewelry store where she had gotten a MD link bracelet. She ordered a new one, but has the old burned one, & they can clean up some links and make pendants. It's looking real antiquey!Has crab, black-eyed susan, heron, state cap., MD flag,skipjack, etc.She will give pendants to all the people who have helped them.
Gotta check on din din--went to grossery for more stuff.
BBL, I hope!
CAM SPINNING POOF
Poof Belle.
Boof Shep.
Both left at 3.
OVER FOR THE NIGHT
Nuts, I just missed them!
Nest light just came on.
Maybe I will order pizza tonight. Might be more pleasing to our guest.
Easy for me, too.
Got it Sandi...you have mail ☺
Shirley I would think if that video place got very busy. By people doing exactly what those parents were going to do. Some kid could come up missing. Bad situation...glad Kathryn caught it!!!!!
OFF TO ANGIES AND CARL I GO BBL
Light just came on.
Loretta, Are you talking about Zoofest at the Baltimore Zoo? You live in MD?
Shirley, I vote for pizza :)
Paula I think you sent Sandi what I have in my draft folder fixed up for her. I did not have an email address when I went looking for Sandi's.
It does not seem that many years ago that Kathryn was wanting me to drop her off at the same mall and I was saying no. But she was older than 11. Of course, she wanted to roam the whole mall.
Loretta happy the family is there and you are having a wonderful time with them. That would be neat to go to Solomons. Sherry might see something else there too.
OK Paula, I'm giving this a try. If I did it correctly, this is the link to one of the 2 articles I found about the guy who was arrested and charged for cutting down a tree in DE that had an eagle's nest in it.
DE eagle abuse article
A quick note before I back up and read the afternoon posts and about the 3rd visit with Belle and Shep. A good day for eagle viewing !
The ortho doc did give me the shot of cortisone and says, "we'll get you back to pain free". Already the pain has gone from about 9 down to 5 or 6, so I'm very encouraged. He prescribed physical therapy 2 times a week for 6 weeks and then I'll see him again. I think we're on the right track ! Yeah ! Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers, dear Eagle Buds !!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Sandi, right on with the link! Way to go!
Woohoo - I did it! Thx Paula! Here's the link to a 2nd article that appeared in a local paper when the guy was arrested.
DE eagle abuse article
BTW, I did a Google search of the guy's name and read that he never actually went to prison b/c he died less than a year after he was arrested. Karma!
11 year old boys should not be left alone in a video place. Smart move! Pizza is sure to hit the spot!
Have cornbread baking, sweet dough rising, guess it is time to make cranberry sauce. Then will do the sweet potatoes. Saving pies for Saturday.
YAY for KAY!!! That's wonderful news.
I start drooling every time someone talks about making cornbread. Yummmm, Lolly!
Kay, we do LOVE good reports! Yea!!
Looks like the 2nd link didn't work. I'll try again.
eagle article
Well, come on over, Lori!☺
Oh, Lolly! With all you've been baking this week, I'd have to walk home! LOL
Yes, it is hard around Christmas. Neighbor girls brought over a variety of cookies their mother had made. I have had two! One a day is not bad! lol
Hello from the RIner/Reed Bakeshop. Rolls are in the ovesn, with more in wait.
HAd not been a good day for me. Excuse, plesse, but I've been sick three times. UGH! WIll check in later.....have lots of catch up after wq finish here!
Kay, great news that the cortisone shot worked so quickly!! Has anyone heard from Lynn this afternoon? Didn't Wanda have an appt. today as well? Oh yeah, the 2nd article I sent the link to is cont'd on page 4 of the paper; if you scroll to the bottom of page 1, you'll see on the left where to click to change the page. Gotta feed the dogs and fix something for dinner. Then, I guess I can't put off the baking any longer! BBL.
Oh Lynn, don't push it.
Take care.
Last comment and then I swear I'm getting off here - Shirley, I wholeheartedly agree with not leaving 11 year olds at video arcade at a mall in this day and age!
Oh LYNN, so sorry to hear that you've probably not tolerated something in your treatment well. I hope the antinausea drug takes it all away! PRAYERS right away!
Oh Lynn, I am so sorry you have been sick! Take your meds as directed, okay?
