For those following the "how to wrap a gift card" saga, I'm leaning towards the balloon bouquet (dark, not transparent). Then wrapping a hat pin in a nice box w/a note to pop the balloons to find the card.
That sounds like a great idea, CarolAnne. Glad I won't be there for the popping though! Like the wrapping the hat pin. Maybe give her a $5 bonus for each balloon if she manages to save the GC for last. You're definitely going to have to video this.
CarolAnne, you are getting really good at the New Thread catch and call!!! Thanks!
Sounds like a cool plan, C/A!! If you do the helium balloon, don't do it too far ahead! It might start to deflate!! Love the hatpion idea----gee, do they still sell them??? You might need a corsage pin!

The "other" newspaper made it to the proch this AM; the one that DID yesterday, DIDN'T.....go figure. Will wait until after the mail comes to walk out. At least it's not too cold.....
Did anyone else see it? I had the cam on but minimized and heard a loud knocking. Brought the cam up and there he was on the trunk of the tree at the bottom right of the screen! It was a pileated woodpecker - the kind with the bright red head!
Have just proven I (& the dogs) are not TOO sweet. Did our morning walk in the chilly rain & none of us melted a single ounce off.
Off to put my cocoa mix in a cup of coffee to take the damp chill off. Then back to various tasks (most important one - finish sewing soft picture blocks for youngest gr.daughter)
Before finishing that the comcast man came. So I had to listen and work with him. New DVR box installed. He does want to come back (I think he noted for someone to) under the double wide is dryer. He wanted to look at all the wiring. I told him two others had been under there. One found the 1st had set up wrong and if it stayed that way my modem would have burnt out. Nice that one fixed it. So things are working well except Christmas show I taped last night won't be there. I said oh well. God will probably have a better one he wants me to watch. I do think I have him hooked to come to open house in April. lol
DanaMo so glad the play wemt well. You deserve an applause...I am clapping lightly for you DanaMo cause clapping hurts hands. Well done lady. Those kids will remember for a long ttime.. See you picked up Aric. Welcome home Aric...Merry Christmas.

Wow Andy you sure did get a great buy on that gate!!!! Happy for you!!
No coal in my stocking PLEASE!!! LOL...I woke up and went right back to sleep and slept very soundly.HA!!!
KUDOS to WANDA and CAPTAIN FATHER GENE... KUDOS TO MARGY, TO WVDANA AND TO LORI... WANDA's post was heart warming and uplifting...so good to knw the joy of abundance and open hearts...THANK YOU ALL
@Wanda Wanda's your wishes on the blog for the children. God brought it true for you. Every since you ask I had been praying. Ed had been collecting small stuffed animals mostly, a few small cars and a big one.For the grand kids. Which his daughters never seem to bring around when he was sick. A The other stuff push toys, bigger cars, toy spin around and books and etc. That was God also. I had been praying about sending out Chistmas cards or spending the monies for thev toys. I will do an ecard.
I would like to share this. I told Ed what I needed the stuffed animals for. I had no answer but in my heart knew he would be ok with it. As I sat at church waiting on Gene. A song came on the radio..which caused me to cry because I knew it was God and Ed sending me the go ahead message. I was so thankful for how God lets Ed connect with me. The song was one I had been looking for. The last day we had in Georgia before moving back home after the 4 1/2 year lay off from Mack. The church in Georgia were Raschida and me sang in the choir. They dedicated to us and Ed. "Go Tell It on The Mountain That Jesus Christ Is King". I knew when I sat waiing for Gene. When it came on the radio what was going on. I cried and prayed and gave thanks to God and Ed for sending me my message. I had been looking for that song for a month. There are many ways in telling that Jesus Christ Is King. I felt so loved by God and even Ed. I cried more. Praises To Jesus ^j^ ♥
Wanda - your accounting of yesterday's Soup Kitchen brought a tear to my eye because of all the generosity & love that you have generated from so many! You and Gene -Proud to know you two! ♥
Heading out to deliver some Steeler stuff to the young man (no Lori lol) that was mind and Ed's. He and his brother and step father are Steeler Fans all the way. These things I don't need.
The pictures of the pilated woodpecker is in the album.
bye for now
Hope - praying while I'm out I can find the few things Mother wanted.
LOLLY, WVDANA put a wood pecker image in the album. LYNNE's STEVE had a job with a temp agency and they backed out and then he phoned them and he was back on again and today is his first day on the job...UP and DOWN with emotions but we were all wishing him the VERY BEST. Drive safely you two...see yiou in a couple of hours, glad you enjoyed yourself.
Not good on the sinus infection LOLLY...they can be painful...I hope you do not have a long waiting time to see the doctor if you decide to go...I liked it that you said your next step is baking and Christmas gift wrapping, sinus is not prt of that picture...wish you well.
Sent Laurel an email. In subject put "on toad", meant to type "on road". She is now worried about our slow bouncy ride home! If I could I would rofalmbo! :)
Honey I'm home and how was your day? LOl I am going to upload some pictures I need my bird peeps to help me identify before I put on FB bird page I rescued it in the Liquor store today chased the poor thing for 20 min tried to catch with fishing net He was so small he fit right in the holes of the net and escaped I ended up catching him with my hand and took three pictures before I had to force him to fly He was so scared I'm sure ok gonna up load I will be back
Ok the little bird is on the nature blog I took three pictures total two I cropped and the two on the end are original I made bigger some one said finch but someone else said something else and for my life I can't remember what they called it he has yellow belly and yellow under his tail feathers and that why they thought it was not a finch
He ended up flying up against the glass window that looks in to the store he was so tired he sled down the window and landed on the ledge then I grabbed him I was so surprised he was so small in my hands
Tree is okay.....but I'm never satisfied with it! Need to add some garland to cover the empty spots. Couldn't find more of the ornaments that I bought the last time this year. LAst year wasn't too bad cause I only used half the tree!
Don't know whether to just call it a day, or to go up and finish putting MT boxes back in the crawl space. Will have to use vaccum wands to push them in cause knee is still too bad to even think about kneeling!
My boss asked me if I had washed my hands afterwards because of the ink I said yes and the ink has to be removed with a pumice when i get home I keep forgetting not to use the gel pens they don't come off so well after washing LOL
I know the Norfolk eagle sleep above their nest each nite so I guess our guys do also You can tell on the pictures on that blog I posted yesterday from them
Doubt that I'll see them anytime soon, Lori. After the boxes go in, I have to put back all the OTHER stuff (shoes, blankets, suitcases, etc.) THEN I can vacuum and dust the bedroom! Want to get stuff finished so that I can spend the weekend baking cookies!
Sandi, make sure you have your blog page open full screen and in upper right hand corner click on New Post. Then give it a title, click on the little picture icon and it will take you to a selection process to upload pics. If you have trouble just google "posting blog pictures"---that's how I learned!
Think I will take it easy the rest of the "day" and get busy upstairs in the morning. Knee feels really bad so climbing the steps too many times is probably not wise. Did I tell you that oncologist said I can't do anything about the knee until AFTER chemo is finished---come late spring?????
Oh, Jo, I'm sure it was just a momentary decor for a photo op! I sure had to grab the pic for Shannon....Harley isn't an unusual color but more often see the grayer Weimeraner's--the one in the pic COULD be Harley!
Well I am back and read up on the blog and no eaqgles this evening. LYNN the dog picture is hilarious....poor thing standing so patiently. Are you going to post pictures of your decorated tree?
It feels very cold out there, I am afraid to check the temperatures...I will be back with the news...NOT TOO BAD!!! 23 degrees...maybe I need a soup???
I hear a dog barking at the nest and a big clunk with camera shakea and what is this scratching of talons perhaps...it is still possible to see you come one down eagle eagle eagle...on going scratchy sound
Judy, I really do think that, even if we're not seeing them in the nest, they're spending more time in the tree. Last Sunday, I heard clunking off and on all day.
Hoda, I'll wait til Christmas Eve to otake a picture of the tree. I never put the gifts down until I know that I won't be leaving the house again. Since it's in the sunroom-- too visible from the deck-- they might encourage a break-in when I'm not home.
Smart move about not putting the presents in clear view of the window LYNN. I am shaking my head at your announcement that someone stole the BABY JESUS from the Nativity Scene!!!
I agree I think now it is too late for them to come down...We would not see much, even though the clunking and scratching seems on going off and on...
What medication do you take for your knee LYNN?Sorry it is acting up so much...
LYNN over here they said that the Conservation Officers released him to a wilderness area north of the city...I hope he can find a place to make a den soon...We havew not seen any bears in Nelson for a while now, I think middle to end of November, so I think they must already be in their dens...I am sure this Vancouver bear has been tagged and in this province they give them one free helicopter ride and if they see them again they destroy them...so I hope this one does not show up again.
KAY it was a GREAT DAY for me when I read about you and LYNN and JO all coming up with good solutions to health reports...my heart felt very happy and grateful.
Thanks for the links LYNN and JUDYE...SO cute with the dog and the cat...I am not sure I would like to have a seal on my couch as they do make a mess and they do bite is true!! I have heard the snap on the ice and those teeth are not too weak I tell you!!!LOL
Hoda bird was fine she flew away She was trapped in our liquor store for about 20 min I tried fishing net and she slipped through the holes on it I tired a box and she just was getting tired of being chased for that time and flew in the window between the store and the liq store and slide down and landed on a edge behind a coke display I just reached around the coke and grabbed her I was so afraid I was going to squish her but she was so soft and so little in my hand I opened it up out side and she just sat there and looked around like wow I'm outside now and I had to lift my hand up in the air and lower it to encourage her to fly I just loved it so glad I keep my camera in pocket all the time so she sat there long enough for me to get cam out and take 3 pics Now they all call me the Bird Whisperer
Well guys I should go do something constructive ya think I have gift to wrap still haven't even begun to do any I only have Jordyn's to do Tommy is getting money and Angie and Carl already got there money
Oh CAROLANNE so sorry to hear about your computer problems...I hope they will be fixed soon...we will be thinking of you too...I like your ideas on wrapping present for DIL.
OH I feel for you CarolAnne I was out several over the past month with this one Well I picked it up one week tomorrow so that will be the test it usually goes 6 days before it goes down so Fri will the the big test day LOL
with all the noise I decided to look at the tree and the camera Sure doesn't look like it would be confortable sitting there on the cam or near it check it out I circled the cam in the tree Picture of cam in tree
OK all, since I have learned things about many of you through your blogs, it only seemed fair that I create one too. Just a few photos on there for now. Pretty easy to do - thanks, Lynn for the tip on uploading pics.
We stay in the US for our trips. Last year we went to Philadelphia, this year we are going to VA Beach.I chaperone for St. Maria Goretti HS and this will be my third year.
someone explained how to change the time on the blog pictures the other day and I didn't take notice because I thought mine posted the correct time well I just noticed 3hrs difference can you please repeat how to fix Sorry CRS has hit home again Ok I am stepping away from the puter I know I have said that before but I promise this time I mean it LOL BBL
Hurray, Sandi! Proud of you. You've done great! I left comments and asked questions!!!! Lovely pics!!!! Did not know that your dubby was Dennis, too---so is Linda's!
Judy, Thanks for the photo of the cam mounted on the tree. I agree with you that it seems like it would be difficult for an eagle to perch on or near it, yet I still have the cam site up and you can definitely hear that SOMETHING is still up there!
LYNN Its down the page take about 63 birds down about one inch with the slider down The people on FB birdwatch are still trying some say that some say others I am only saying what they are and its listed the Yellow one looks like it tooo
I do not think I have lost any words LYNN...yesterday whole posts were not showing up. It would tellme it was saved and then it was not on...I hope it is not your computer...You do also have a lap top???RIGHT???last night I wondered about the files you could not open and you have not said anything about them today...I hope all is good...
Hoda, I am on the laptop. The lost files are on the PC.....and I haven't even turned it on today. I do need to download my camera, so will probably boot it up tomorrow to do that. Need to find out more about searching for files, to see if they are hidden somewhere.
Hoda, CNN just did a segment on camels and how their population is declining. The guy being interviewed was raving about what friendly, pleasant creatures they are - he said they rarely spit! I thought of you as I was listening! =)
SANDI...I am laughing...I often think CNN over exaggerates things!!! I will see if I can find it on the internet...Camels are so tough even when you cook them to eat, which I had the misfortune of being invited out to eat and the meat was camel...TOUGH!!! I tell you REALLY TOUGH...I hope you are rolling on the floor laughing...Thanks SANDI...CNN and I have different experiences...LOL
Jo, I have been lurking and catching up on the blog! Off to put on ornaments!
Nick, so far, has been good with the tree. But I will be careful and put all candy canes, stuffed ornaments and wooden ornaments out of his reach! I'm sure everyone has stories of animals and their trees! One year Boo ate all the candy canes off the tree he could reach, and of course, they like to chew up my wooden ornaments and some homemade ones that had stuffing inside!
Oh yea, and one year, Boo just casually lifted his leg on the tree! I died laughing....(he didn't get the tree or anything under it, fortunately!)
Hi Lynne - any news for us about Steve's day of work? I think Linda should be home... Heard from her on the day of the memorial Hoda/Paula do you know more that I do
oh yay, I was hoping they'd twinkle! I actually saw 3 meteors last night at around 10:30 when I took the dogs out for a last quick walk!
Steve's first day was fine. He said the Random House facility in Westminster is 18 acres big! The warehouse is huge, heated, and very clean. He was pretty impressed with the place. he just hates the uncertainty of not knowing how long he'll actually be there.
I think I have birds on the brain these days, BUT I really think I I think I saw a Red Tail Hawk today as I was driving down 70. Of course I was driving, but it really looks like the picture on Lynne's blog. I swear that is what I saw in the tree! I only wish I could have pulled over! If only my lead foot wasn't on the peddle ☺. No seriously, I don't think I could have pulled over or I would have. But now all's I can do is second guess myself.
Mo, cool that you saw the red-tailed. Probably no doubt that you are right! There are lots of them around!!! Did you see the one my SIL saw---on my blog last month?
he is doing really boring stuff....unpacking zillions of boxes of books, scanning them and putting them on the conveyer belt. He'll do more in days to come!
DanaMo, yes St Joseph! (I used to be a Catholic!)
He LOVES the drive, no traffic heading that way in the AM!
My Adam was always losing things. Wallets, games, game systems, phones, etc...last year he took the name St. Anthony for his Confirmation name, he hasn't lost anything since. I'm not kidding. Amazing.

Thank you for the Fresh New Thread, Steve!
Thanks to CarolAnne for the call over. :)
That sounds like a great idea, CarolAnne. Glad I won't be there for the popping though! Like the wrapping the hat pin. Maybe give her a $5 bonus for each balloon if she manages to save the GC for last. You're definitely going to have to video this.
Good morning everybody!!
CarolAnne, you are getting really good at the New Thread catch and call!!! Thanks!
Sounds like a cool plan, C/A!! If you do the helium balloon, don't do it too far ahead! It might start to deflate!! Love the hatpion idea----gee, do they still sell them??? You might need a corsage pin!

Need to read catch up!
CarolAnne - your final idea is really
going to be a hit!
BBILW
Did anyone else see it? I had the cam on but minimized and heard a loud knocking. Brought the cam up and there he was on the trunk of the tree at the bottom right of the screen! It was a pileated woodpecker - the kind with the bright red head!
Just got a beautiful wildlife calendar from the porpane company! And, of course, a steep invoice!
Good Morning in Eagleland!
As usual, konked out in chair last night. But now put swan picks in Nook.It's a long distance view.
Hope all have a good day~~~gotta shuffle off--(not to Buffalo)
No, Sandi, I didn't see the pileated. Hope he's not a frquent visitor! We don't need him destroying tree!
Hi, Shar and Jo!
Have just proven I (& the dogs) are not TOO sweet. Did our morning walk in the chilly rain & none of us melted a single ounce off.
Off to put my cocoa mix in a cup of coffee to take the damp chill off. Then back to various tasks (most important one - finish sewing soft picture blocks for youngest gr.daughter)
We KNEW you weren't a witch, C/A!!!
Enjoy your cocoa kaffe!
Lowreeda----so great that the tundra's have arrived!! Margy will be glad to hear it!!
I guess I am hearing the kiddies from the day care.
Probably so, Shar---it's in the mid-forties, and close to lunchtime--gotta wear them out before naps!
Well almost afternoon so I can say Good Morning Wonderful Eagle Friends ( :
Buddy update
I had to catch up on comments some.
Before finishing that the comcast man came. So I had to listen and work with him. New DVR box installed. He does want to come back (I think he noted for someone to) under the double wide is dryer. He wanted to look at all the wiring. I told him two others had been under there. One found the 1st had set up wrong and if it stayed that way my modem would have burnt out. Nice that one fixed it. So things are working well except Christmas show I taped last night won't be there. I said oh well. God will probably have a better one he wants me to watch. I do think I have him hooked to come to open house in April. lol

WANDA's post was heart warming and uplifting...so good to knw the joy of abundance and open hearts...THANK YOU ALL
Hee hee Lori too young and my heart is already taken by my Sweetheart Ed.♥♥
@Wanda

The song was one I had been looking for. The last day we had in Georgia before moving back

Wanda - your accounting of yesterday's Soup Kitchen brought a tear to my eye
because of all the generosity & love that you have generated from so many!
You and Gene -Proud to know you two! ♥
That brought tears to my eyes too Jo. Times like this really renews my faith in mankind!
"I came for the eagles but I stayed for the friendships I have made."
What an awesome group of people I have been blessed with!
Ah DanaWV, that's so sweet. I think lots of people look for messages in some way after a loved one passes. I do.
Hey, DanaWV, what is your last name? Just want to be sure you get the right Christmas Card. :)
LORI, WVDANA IS MEYER...I made themistake and now know for sure!!! SORRY..
Love you all hugs
Heading out to deliver some Steeler stuff to the young man (no Lori lol) that was mind and Ed's. He and his brother and step father are Steeler Fans all the way. These things I don't need.
The pictures of the pilated woodpecker is in the album.
bye for now
Hope - praying while I'm out I can find the few things Mother wanted.
Thanks Hoda. I guessed right! :)
On our way home! Had a great time. Now to start my baking, gift wrapping, and addressing cards.
Have not read blog? What is this about Steve and a job? Also glad someone got a pic of the w pecker!
We will be home in two hours. Rain in TX today! Yea!
LOLLY, WVDANA put a wood pecker image in the album.
LYNNE's STEVE had a job with a temp agency and they backed out and then he phoned them and he was back on again and today is his first day on the job...UP and DOWN with emotions but we were all wishing him the VERY BEST. Drive safely you two...see yiou in a couple of hours, glad you enjoyed yourself.
Thinking about getting to the doctor. Think I have sinus infection.
Thanks Hoda for the info!
Not good on the sinus infection LOLLY...they can be painful...I hope you do not have a long waiting time to see the doctor if you decide to go...I liked it that you said your next step is baking and Christmas gift wrapping, sinus is not prt of that picture...wish you well.
Headed off to yoga and will see you all later...ENJOY.
Sent Laurel an email. In subject put "on toad", meant to type "on road". She is now worried about our slow bouncy ride home! If I could I would rofalmbo! :)
Heading out and will check in as soon as
I return
BBILW
Bye, Jo and Hoda! Enjoy your outings.
Lolly, glad that you are nearing home. Hope you can get in to see the dr. first thing tomorrow! No fun having a sinus infection, for sure.
Hate traveling in rain even though we need the rain!
Someone stole the baby Jesus out of the Central Park in Shirley's 'burg. :(
Terrific---now blogger cop is eliminating words.....I plainly typed Nativity in that last post.
I was on the wrong day. Sounded like an eagle just landed near the camera.
We are home but going directly to get Annie.
We've not had a speck of sunshine all day----suits me fine! Makes it much easier to finish the tree!
Just a few birds and angels left to put on!
Great, Lolly!
So how does the tree look, Lynn?
Welcome home, Lolly, Jack & Annie!
Hello Sharon!
Ohhh! Got wet getting Annie! Very nice rain!
Honey I'm home and how was your day? LOl I am going to upload some pictures I need my bird peeps to help me identify before I put on FB bird page I rescued it in the Liquor store today chased the poor thing for 20 min tried to catch with fishing net He was so small he fit right in the holes of the net and escaped I ended up catching him with my hand and took three pictures before I had to force him to fly He was so scared I'm sure ok gonna up load I will be back

Bird I caught by hand
He ended up flying up against the glass window that looks in to the store he was so tired he sled down the window and landed on the ledge then I grabbed him I was so surprised he was so small in my hands
JudyE - doesn't matter what kind of bird - just how neat you got to hold it in your hand. You lucky BIRD WHISPERER!
Chirpies! That is too funny, Judy!
Good evening, CarolAnne.
One minute until sunset.
Little bird pics, Judy were really cool.
Guess I best pay attention to our cam
I think either some type of warbler or sparrow---probably immature.
Are we counting on 4:54.......?
Notice: I have been catching and killing
Stink Bugs!
Tree is okay.....but I'm never satisfied with it! Need to add some garland to cover the empty spots. Couldn't find more of the ornaments that I bought the last time this year. LAst year wasn't too bad cause I only used half the tree!
Lolly, I have yet to say Welcome Home!
clunking big time
someone is up there and loud!
Don't know whether to just call it a day, or to go up and finish putting MT boxes back in the crawl space. Will have to use vaccum wands to push them in cause knee is still too bad to even think about kneeling!
Who Dat!
Hey don't break it!
4:54 pm Clunking time
I am getting really fed up with this cam timing out. ARGH!
come on down guys we here you
Have you been to bed yet, Lori??
No nap for me today... will be going shortly. Want to see the eagles first. :)
Can the grands help you put away the boxes on Friday?
So, I've created a blog. Now, how do I upload pictures from my computer to my blog?
are you getting the silly circle at time I did last nite but not yet tonight lite on come on down now
I hear train
My new avatar is from FB----looks just like my granddog Harley---but his daddy would never dream of hanging Christmas lights on him!
My boss asked me if I had washed my hands afterwards because of the ink I said yes and the ink has to be removed with a pumice when i get home I keep forgetting not to use the gel pens they don't come off so well after washing LOL
Me too LOLLY welcome home good to have you back where you belong ♫♫♫
little buggers are teasing us again just like last nite
I know the Norfolk eagle sleep above their nest each nite so I guess our guys do also You can tell on the pictures on that blog I posted yesterday from them
Judy, that's JUST what I was thinking!
Hi,
I am getting ready to go play bridge tonight. Taking a quick look to see if our eagles are in the nest.
Have a nice evening, everyone.
Is Lolly the one who
s so good at calling them?
Somebody is at the camera!
Doubt that I'll see them anytime soon, Lori. After the boxes go in, I have to put back all the OTHER stuff (shoes, blankets, suitcases, etc.) THEN I can vacuum and dust the bedroom! Want to get stuff finished so that I can spend the weekend baking cookies!
CLUNK!!
AW come on down PLEASE
That looked like a nestquake!
All together now, Here eagle, eagle!!
JudyE---it just keeps going to a gray screen saying that it's not available and then I have to do a refresh.
Someone will be dropping into the nest momentarily.
Jo, Kathryn has been finding stink bugs in her room. We do not know why they like her room so much.
I hear clunking.
Here eagle, eagle!
Sandi, make sure you have your blog page open full screen and in upper right hand corner click on New Post. Then give it a title, click on the little picture icon and it will take you to a selection process to upload pics.
If you have trouble just google "posting blog pictures"---that's how I learned!
Thanks, Lynn - will play around this evening AFTER I see some eagles!
Think I will take it easy the rest of the "day" and get busy upstairs in the morning. Knee feels really bad so climbing the steps too many times is probably not wise. Did I tell you that oncologist said I can't do anything about the knee until AFTER chemo is finished---come late spring?????
Enjoy your evening of bridge, Shirley.
Don't stay out too late - oh! I forgot -
you are a retiree! Stay as late as
you wish! ♥
Lynn, that is a real dog with those
lights on - I hope it is just a one time
joke for a picture.
The E_M album - love the pic DanaWV
took of the pleated woodpecker. Can't get over how red red his cap was.
I need to leave for some dinner....
BBILW
Guess it was just a teasing clunk. Our eagles are turkeys!!
Good Evening ! LOLLY and LORETTA have both had success when calling for an eagle appearance lately. Guess they're both busy right now.
LYNN, thanks for the Buddy report ! He's so special to many of us !
Had a yummy lunch with Julie and then Malcolm and I rode along while she ran errands. So nice to catch up on our girl talk.
Haven't heard a clunk or a train or nuttin' since I arrived 10 minutes ago.
That's it for me...goodnight everyone. Hopefully, we'll get to see them tomorrow morning.
Lynn, take it easy on your knee.
Enjoy your night all!
BBL
Oh, Jo, I'm sure it was just a momentary decor for a photo op! I sure had to grab the pic for Shannon....Harley isn't an unusual color but more often see the grayer Weimeraner's--the one in the pic COULD be Harley!
Enjoy your game, Shirley. Hope you have a grand slam!
LYNN, taking it easy the rest of the day sounds like a good plan ! What kind of cookies are you planning on making this weekend ?
Well I am back and read up on the blog and no eaqgles this evening.
LYNN the dog picture is hilarious....poor thing standing so patiently. Are you going to post pictures of your decorated tree?
It feels very cold out there, I am afraid to check the temperatures...I will be back with the news...NOT TOO BAD!!! 23 degrees...maybe I need a soup???
They're sitting on the camera!! Come down NOW!!
Alright, major clunking, but it's getting pretty dark. Come down for a quick hello birdie !
There is still someone near the cam.
I hear a dog barking at the nest and a big clunk with camera shakea and what is this scratching of talons perhaps...it is still possible to see you come one down eagle eagle eagle...on going scratchy sound
darn thing what a tease
MORE noise....but no eagle. :(
Since you are not settling up there eagle come down to the nest you might be more comfortable Perhaps???
Kay: oatmeal, sugar and PB!!
Judy, I really do think that, even if we're not seeing them in the nest, they're spending more time in the tree. Last Sunday, I heard clunking off and on all day.
Perhaps they are having their dinner
up there and then scrapping their
beaks
Really sounded like they fell down!
Guess it is really dinner time now....... for me.♥
Well I wished I knew what they were doing up there...JO'S idea of maybe eating sounds probable...was that some head lights?
Hoda, I'll wait til Christmas Eve to otake a picture of the tree. I never put the gifts down until I know that I won't be leaving the house again. Since it's in the sunroom-- too visible from the deck-- they might encourage a break-in when I'm not home.
Probably was headlights, Hoda. Either people still leaving work, or daycare, or security vehicle.
Hmmm, LYNN, 3 of the best cookies ! I'm joining JO in the quest for dinner. BBL
OH LYNN I love the doggie and the lights sooooo funny
It's going to be too dark to see them if they don't come down NOW!
Oh, HODA, thank you for the lovely message on the Candle site. So nice of you to include JO and me ! ♥♥♥
Oh, HODA----the Vancouver bear is on our local news!!!!
Smart move about not putting the presents in clear view of the window LYNN. I am shaking my head at your announcement that someone stole the BABY JESUS from the Nativity Scene!!!
I agree I think now it is too late for them to come down...We would not see much, even though the clunking and scratching seems on going off and on...
What medication do you take for your knee LYNN?Sorry it is acting up so much...
LYNN over here they said that the Conservation Officers released him to a wilderness area north of the city...I hope he can find a place to make a den soon...We havew not seen any bears in Nelson for a while now, I think middle to end of November, so I think they must already be in their dens...I am sure this Vancouver bear has been tagged and in this province they give them one free helicopter ride and if they see them again they destroy them...so I hope this one does not show up again.
KAY it was a GREAT DAY for me when I read about you and LYNN and JO all coming up with good solutions to health reports...my heart felt very happy and grateful.
good heavens still more clunking...
I have to go do something about lunch...I sometimes forget to eat and then do lunch and supper together so I think this is one of those days...
Short but sweet!
This was just on the news funny
Seal breaks into house to sleep on sofa
this also just on news
Bear in garbage truck in Canada
go down the page on the bear link there is a video beside the pic and story
Class is over! AMEN! Still have to take one more, but the class I need isn't offered until summer. I just hope it isn't when I go on my mission trip!
this is what they think it is on the fan page Bell's Vireo
Bell's vireo pictures
Thanks for the links LYNN and JUDYE...SO cute with the dog and the cat...I am not sure I would like to have a seal on my couch as they do make a mess and they do bite is true!! I have heard the snap on the ice and those teeth are not too weak I tell you!!!LOL
OH JUDYE cute bird to have held for a little while...I missed what you did with it...was it hurt?
Hoda bird was fine she flew away She was trapped in our liquor store for about 20 min I tried fishing net and she slipped through the holes on it I tired a box and she just was getting tired of being chased for that time and flew in the window between the store and the liq store and slide down and landed on a edge behind a coke display I just reached around the coke and grabbed her I was so afraid I was going to squish her but she was so soft and so little in my hand I opened it up out side and she just sat there and looked around like wow I'm outside now and I had to lift my hand up in the air and lower it to encourage her to fly I just loved it so glad I keep my camera in pocket all the time so she sat there long enough for me to get cam out and take 3 pics Now they all call me the Bird Whisperer
Hoda, sure hope the bear stays away and dens quickly.
JudyE--Hoda gave us the bear info a few days ago.
Well, if the bird is a vireo, it is WAY out of it's territory. Look at the map! Aren't vireo's warblers??
DanaMo, where will your mission trip take you??
More clunking and scratching.....
I just take lots of Advil for my knee. The cortisone injection didn't help enough to make it worthwhile, either.
Maybe it is George up at the cam.
What a wonderful story JUDYE...I am glad she was able to fly away on her own wing power...good on you Bird Whisperer...
lots of clunking huh
It is listed on birds from Fl
Do not send out alerts if I disappear the next day or two.
Computer crashed & took over 1 1/2 hrs to get back online.
So may need further assistance.

Well guys I should go do something constructive ya think I have gift to wrap still haven't even begun to do any I only have Jordyn's to do Tommy is getting money and Angie and Carl already got there money

Oh, no, CarolAnne! Hope it doesn't die! Good luck....and we'll be watching for your return if you disappear!!
JudyE----the link you gave says:
Breeds from southern California, Colorado, Dakotas, and Indiana southward. Absent from eastern third of the U.S.
with all the noise I decided to look at the tree and the camera Sure doesn't look like it would be confortable sitting there on the cam or near it check it out I circled the cam in the tree
Picture of cam in tree
OK all, since I have learned things about many of you through your blogs, it only seemed fair that I create one too. Just a few photos on there for now. Pretty easy to do - thanks, Lynn for the tip on uploading pics.
We stay in the US for our trips. Last year we went to Philadelphia, this year we are going to VA Beach.I chaperone for St. Maria Goretti HS and this will be my third year.
someone explained how to change the time on the blog pictures the other day and I didn't take notice because I thought mine posted the correct time well I just noticed 3hrs difference can you please repeat how to fix Sorry CRS has hit home again Ok I am stepping away from the puter I know I have said that before but I promise this time I mean it LOL BBL
I know help is needed all over the world, but I feel pretty good that we go to cities around the US to help those in need.
LYNN I googled birds of Fl and it is on it this is the link to bird in fl its not tooo far down the page
Fl birds
Hurray, Sandi! Proud of you. You've done great! I left comments and asked questions!!!! Lovely pics!!!! Did not know that your dubby was Dennis, too---so is Linda's!
JudyE----your recent link is to White-eyed vireo; your previous link was to Bell's vireo......so it's not a Bell's!
Mo--you know the old saying----charity begins at home. To me that means our continent!!!!
Judy, Thanks for the photo of the cam mounted on the tree. I agree with you that it seems like it would be difficult for an eagle to perch on or near it, yet I still have the cam site up and you can definitely hear that SOMETHING is still up there!
LYNN Its down the page take about 63 birds down about one inch with the slider down The people on FB birdwatch are still trying some say that some say others I am only saying what they are and its listed the Yellow one looks like it tooo
NO I mean it I am turning this off for a bit other wise my neck will never forgive me
Cop ate more words!
DanaMo, I had also put: Good on you!
Anyone else losing parts of your posts? Maybe it's my puter---oh no!!
I do not think I have lost any words LYNN...yesterday whole posts were not showing up. It would tellme it was saved and then it was not on...I hope it is not your computer...You do also have a lap top???RIGHT???last night I wondered about the files you could not open and you have not said anything about them today...I hope all is good...
So it's either a blue-headed, white-eyed OR a red-eyed????? Right?
Hoda, I am on the laptop. The lost files are on the PC.....and I haven't even turned it on today. I do need to download my camera, so will probably boot it up tomorrow to do that. Need to find out more about searching for files, to see if they are hidden somewhere.
Jeopardy time coming up....BBL!
Hoda, CNN just did a segment on camels and how their population is declining. The guy being interviewed was raving about what friendly, pleasant creatures they are - he said they rarely spit! I thought of you as I was listening! =)
SANDI...I am laughing...I often think CNN over exaggerates things!!! I will see if I can find it on the internet...Camels are so tough even when you cook them to eat, which I had the misfortune of being invited out to eat and the meat was camel...TOUGH!!! I tell you REALLY TOUGH...I hope you are rolling on the floor laughing...Thanks SANDI...CNN and I have different experiences...LOL
Did everyone just clam up?????
Sandi your personal blog has wonderful
pictures. Really enjoyed it.
Jo, I have been lurking and catching up on the blog! Off to put on ornaments!
Nick, so far, has been good with the tree. But I will be careful and put all candy canes, stuffed ornaments and wooden ornaments out of his reach! I'm sure everyone has stories of animals and their trees! One year Boo ate all the candy canes off the tree he could reach, and of course, they like to chew up my wooden ornaments and some homemade ones that had stuffing inside!
Oh yea, and one year, Boo just casually lifted his leg on the tree! I died laughing....(he didn't get the tree or anything under it, fortunately!)
Still here JO, doing things in the kitchen and now to wash dishes and get organised. It is only 5:17 PM PST my time and I am a bit behind today...
WOW PAULA!!! BOO was quite the dog!!!LOL
SANDI I agree with Jo I very much like the pictures on your blog...
Boo sounds like my hubby - almost not a candy cane left on the tree. I hid a
box for last minute decorations.
evening all...not much of a chance to read back. Hope everyone is well. WOndering if we've heard from Linda yet?
Hi Lynne - any news for us about Steve's day of work?
I think Linda should be home... Heard from her on the day of the memorial
Hoda/Paula do you know more that I do
Lynne FYI The stars on your avatar
are twinkling! ♥
I have a 9:00 TV engagement...
I'll return soon... ♥
oh yay, I was hoping they'd twinkle! I actually saw 3 meteors last night at around 10:30 when I took the dogs out for a last quick walk!
Steve's first day was fine. He said the Random House facility in Westminster is 18 acres big! The warehouse is huge, heated, and very clean. He was pretty impressed with the place. he just hates the uncertainty of not knowing how long he'll actually be there.
Still no word from Linda......
What will Steve be doing, Lynne-ie??
I think I have birds on the brain these days, BUT I really think I I think I saw a Red Tail Hawk today as I was driving down 70. Of course I was driving, but it really looks like the picture on Lynne's blog. I swear that is what I saw in the tree! I only wish I could have pulled over!
If only my lead foot wasn't on the peddle ☺. No seriously, I don't think I could have pulled over or I would have. But now all's I can do is second guess myself.
Well Lynne sometimes those temp. positions turn permanent. Pray, we Catholics would pray to St. Joseph for that, St. Joseph "the worker".
We have a Saint for everything! ☺
I'm afraid to speak, but, my dogs haven't gotten anything off the tree...yikes, I probably shouldn't have said that!
DanaMo, My personal favorite is St. Anthony! he has found SO many things that I've misplaced! =)
Mo, cool that you saw the red-tailed. Probably no doubt that you are right! There are lots of them around!!! Did you see the one my SIL saw---on my blog last month?
he is doing really boring stuff....unpacking zillions of boxes of books, scanning them and putting them on the conveyer belt. He'll do more in days to come!
DanaMo, yes St Joseph! (I used to be a Catholic!)
He LOVES the drive, no traffic heading that way in the AM!
Time for Criminal Minds!
AND a bowl of ice cream!!!
My Adam was always losing things. Wallets, games, game systems, phones, etc...last year he took the name St. Anthony for his Confirmation name, he hasn't lost anything since. I'm not kidding. Amazing.
Lynne/Hedgie, that sounds really good, but it probably won't go with my Amstel.
Lynne/Hedgie-that's how I knew what it was. It looked just like that picture!
My confirmation name was St. Rebbecca.
Nah, DanaMo, you need chips!
Never got as far as confirmation! Did my first Holy Communion, tho.
Lynne, doesn't sound too exciting, but it pays!!!! Hope it becomes a little less boring!
