Monday, March 05, 2012 9:44:00 AM
Our new prediction: 4-6 inches of snow possible. We have a winter storm warning.
Test
Now back to me.
Thanks Steve for a brand, spankin' new thread for a brand, spankin' new week!
Thanks LINDA, for the call over!
Just checking in from school to see that it has been a boring morning at the nest - boring at the nest is GREAT!
Wishing safety for all who are getting/have gotten snow, if they need to be out on the roads.
SHARON, enjoy your LAST DAY as a 40 something!
Later!
Hello everyone!
Well, Linda you are a great thread alerter! Thanks for the fresh thread on a Monday morning.
Sharon thanks for Lynn update!
Praying for her comfort and strength to return.
You all realize that Tori could be going home in another 2 weeks max?
She sure is a miracle in action!
Sharon your birthday plans sound
fantastic - being with your son is going to be a great way to celebrate!
Hello Delphia! Good to hear from you ♥
Well good morning again. Thanks Linda for the call over and thanks Steve for the new thread.
Mattie enjoys no school to Magpie.
I think it will snow here soon....
I saw some very fine flakes coming down
They stopped but I bet they come again.
March can be a killer month as we
experienced before.......... ♥
There had to have been a switch because Shep is there now..... I missed it!
Well Ain't This Swell !
Thanks for the new thread, Steve
Thanks for the call-over, Linda
yes - two days in a row! Well-done !!
Thanks Sharon, for the update on Lynn, we appreciate your being the Messenger all the way around... Prayers for Lynn ♥ and hoping will be a Good Day...
Okay ! Tuesday with Andrew and Kelsey, Sharon.....
Hmmm, I have a request for a song at that Concert !!! ☺ ♪ ♫
Well, T-Bird, I'm glad that Mattie is Glad !!
Hi Bird-Girl ☺
Shirley
if you get that predicted snow, maybe all the Teachers and Students will be happy "down your way" too ☺
Tori possibly being home for Springtime? How wonderful that would be...!!
Thanks Jo for that bright spot of news ☼
JO
looks like Shep and Belle pulled a fastie and no one seems to have posted about it...tsk tsk tsk
I think I heard Children in the background...or maybe it is birds or big people
I sure wasn't here to see it....
we'll have to be setting up 24-hour watches pretty soon...
Hoping for the best Hatching Season for Shep and Belle and the Royal Eggs
It's a beautiful spring day in the Valley of the Sun!
Baby bird season has begun a couple of weeks early for my rescue group. We already have nine baby hummingbirds, and got our first nestling mourning doves the other day. Pretty soon we will be getting mockingbirds, starlings, grackles, and then everything else.
Thank you, STEVE, for the new thread.
Gracias, LINDA, for the call over!
SHIRLEY, I hope you don't get the full 6" of snow down there. I'm soooo sorry.
Hello JO & Delphia!
SHARON, so glad you're feeling better! Thanks for being the messanger for LYNN. It's so good to get those messages.
typos...URGH! ....send me to bed!
Hello MARGY! You're off today, right?
Enjoy.
I loved hearing of you and James singing Christmas songs with your own words. Very sweet.
It's snowing in Selbyville, DE! Well, I'll be! Don't think the kids have noticed it yet - when they do, all hell will break loose! They will be DONE for the day!
Oh, I know how that is, Sandi. Can you close the blinds or shades?
weather looking pretty dark and dreary at BWO
have not personally seen any creatures at either nest yet today
too funny Sandi...
let us know if all that breaks loose !
Well, Delphia...all your rehab work sounds so exciting...cannot even imagine the smallness of a baby hummingbird.
Bravo on your work!
The World of Wildlife is better for it....
Okay, Lori, get a good nap, I'm headed for one myself....
ttfn Eagle Pals....
Have a good day, as fun as it sounds like the Day Care Children are having...
Thinking of Lynn ♥
xoxox
Magpie...hatchling hummingbirds are the size of raisins! We use rolled-up baby socks as surrogate nests. Did you know that their beak is really short when they hatch? Otherwise, they wouldn't fit in the egg! :D
Morning, all!
I just saw some sunshine on the nest...hope it is headed this way.
Is anyone having trouble signing into the blog?
I did witness the changing of the guards. I saw Shep standing at the 6 o'clock position for a little bit and then Belle got off the eggs and he got on.
Lolly emailed me, she can read the blog but it won't let her sign on.
test
Wahooooo! I am back! I rebooted and here I am. That was so frustrating. Thanks Paula, tried your suggestions, then Jack said, have you rebooted. Duh!
You're on, Lolly.
Wow! Lolly I thought we lost you down
in a deep deep hole! Glad you are here
because I didn't have any idea how to
rescue you! ♥
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy Monday and
New Week to u all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still very warm today in So Cal, but we're supposed to have rain tomorrow.
One of the Hummer chicks has fledged and the other looks close to ready too.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
I had typed a long post, too. Tried to save it but rebooting, I lost it. Grrrr! And, an aging brain prevents me from remembering what all I had typed. Sigh.....
I am sure it was all VERY important.☺
Now it is time for me to start my day!
LOL Jo! I was getting very very frustrated. I thought I was in a deep dark hole, too. Do not want that to happen again. LOL Jack is always telling me to reboot. LOL I always forget to try that.
Oh, and Paula, I am glad I cleared my history. The ol' laptop is performing much faster. Thanks!☺
I don't really like this new layout on Blogger, I wonder why they changed it?
Today I made a fresh batch of food for Pepper, and I'm working on updating a PowerPoint presentation for my rescue group. I think a nap will be happening too LOL
EGG ROLL!
God morning eagle Pals.... I am so glad that it is a new week! Last week was awful!! I am taking Charlie to a DR appt today as he is so ill. Do not know what is wrong. He has vomited almost everyday and just can't eat. He is down almost 25 lbs or so... then will head over to see mom and do a few things for her. She is feeling like crap...just no energy, no strength and is so sore. Leisl doesn't get much lap time because mom says it hurts her stomach now. I don't see that as a good thing at all for more than just Leisl's sake. Keep praying Momsters and Dadsters...Much love to you all!!!
Margy happy you will be having James time after school. Love you two walking along singing Chrismas songs lol
Prayers for Janet/Nilla^j^
Candle lite for Lynn
Lolly glad you re-booted and got on. (:
Always good hearing good news about Tori♥
Jewels give Lynn an easy HUG for me.
I wish they would have done the Pet Scan.
Shep rearranging the fluff
Thanks for the update, Jewels.
Love to you and your mother.
.
Raining at BWO
Welcome back Lolly. Sometimes the simplest solutions work!
Ha, Shep's doing a face plant...nope he's awake, LOL
Jewels/Caro - give Mom lots of hugs and well wishes. Anxious to hear from you
when you come home. You have 2 days off
and here you are taking Charlie to the
Dr. I thought it was going to be
Mental Health days for you lol ♥
Wanda that was great news about the
freezer money for the church's food
kitchen! When you and Gene set your
minds to something it really happens.
Now as for walking backwards on the
treadmill........ you gonna make
that happen, gal lol Love you ♥
I do think (now) that Shep is a
little cutie pie ♥
Might take a break.....Street clothes
you know!
Poor Caro....she's got her hands full!
Lynn, hope you feel better today! Love you ♥
Good afternoon everyone.
Thank you, Steve.
Busy. Midterms and 100 papers to read/grade.
Sending healing wishes for Nilla (Janet). Hope the difficulty can be resolved with catherization.
Margy, so glad you had a good time with James.
Hard to realize how much progress Tori has made since the surgery. Suspect being at home will speed the recovery even more.
Sharon, thank you for the Lynn update. Hope you continue to feel better.
Shirley, please keep the white stuff down your way.
Lolly, welcome back. Was afeared you had been transported to the secret place.
Carolyn, hugs for you and your mom. Hoping Charlie will get some relief. This has been a difficult time for you and all the family. We do care so much.
Checked out Phoebe and Sansa fledged yesterday. YouTube video is available.
Shep doing his usual good job a minute or two ago. Almost time for hatching.
Savannah and Derek showed off their babe for a minute or two. Cute, of course.
Forget my request Shirley. White stuff falling down here.
Thank you JEWELS for theupdate on LYNN.
Prayers ♥
Good morning/ Good afternoon everyoe.
WANDA congratulations on the freezer and what a great supportive group you have around you with fridge as a possibility also. What goes around comes around...I think recognition of your and the Captain's work has made a difference to raising the funds. BRAVO.
Good luck with the walking backwards today...
I'll post this and hope it gets through,thinking of the problems LOLLY had
Oops, I am so sorry I got caught up on other comments.
Wanda, congratulations on the funding for a new freezer for the soup kitchen. You and the Capt. are really an amazing team and we can't forget to thank Lori and Kate.
JEWELS I hope CHARLIE'S health issue is also cleared today.
SHARON, Birthday Girl tomorrow, Thanks for the update on LYNN and I much appreciate it. Good luck driving in the snow and enjoy your time with Andrew and the concert tomorrow...♥
To LORI and KATE!!! HEAR HEAR!!!
Went outside, refilled the feeders, used a net on the bottom of the pond to clear out leaves and acorns. I have now come in to shed some clothes..it is 70 and hot. Not to worry...I am putting on cooler clothes!☺
Jack and I are starting construction today of more flower beds. Our shade has ruled out lawn so now more terraces and shade flower beds. A lot of it will be mulched. Hope this works out!! Usually our plans do, but do not want more work!!!!
Later.....
Lolly it sounds like you are making more work with more beds..... More
beautiful flowers for Hawkwood Gardens!
I wish Shep would stop playing/moving the sticks in front of him.
Looks breezy up in the Sycamore Palace
Caroline aka Jewels, thanks for the update on your mom. Bless your heart, we are keeping you and Charlie in our prayers,too. You really have your hands and heart full right now. Hang in there, we are here for you!!!♥ Anytime you need to vent....come here!!! We have (((Hugs))) for you and your mom.
Wanda happy the freezer funds came about.
Now praying for the fridge.
Wanda if you want to walk backwards. Ask God for HIS TIMING^j^. It will happen♥
Jewels you have so much on you right now. I know you have to have that "tired feeling". Prayers always for your Mother.
I pray that God helps them find out what is wrong with Charlie.
Here is a HUG ((((((((((JEWELS))))))))) for you and one for Lynn (((((((((LYNN/e))))))))))
Hmmm, have a spinning arrow, but live feed is still running!
I saw some snow flurries this morning!
snow squall here in Martinsburg, wonder if it is headed towards the nest
See the post from Jewels...
(( Hugs to you and the entire family.....♥ ))
and lots of prayers to go with that...
Wow a blizzard, really, here in Martinsburg
headed out, take care everyone
xoxo ♥
Margy - you don't head out in a blizzard unless it is a matter of life or death .. or if you are going to work.
Egg Roll
Switch - Belle is on duty now. ♥
Coming in just in time to see
Shep doing his devoted father best ! And, Here's Belle ! Changing places ! Beautiful duo !
JEWELS, thanks for the update on your precious Mom. Prayers continue for her, Charlie and you as well. What a rough few weeks you've had with their illnesses and the loss of Charlie's brother. Hope that dark cloud lifts soon, bringing renewed health and comfort.
DELPHIA, thanks for interesting hummingbird factoid ! Never gave the beak a thought, but makes sense !
LORI, you and Kate are angels and I'm sure WANDA, GENE and the folks at the "kitchen" agree !
LOLLY, glad the reboot worked--guess it's the first thing we should all try when these puters come up with a glitch.
DIANN, happy to "see" you and THELMA, so glad you and the kids are enjoying a snow day.
MARGY, thanks for telling us about your day with the Kidster. Smiling about your songfests !!!!
And, hello to all who've posted today. I've enjoyed catching up with you and your activities !

It snowing sideways

The snow has arrived at the nest. Crap!
well its almost time for me to head back to work
Poor Belle in the snow I know they are use to it but I still don't like it
My exact words SHARON
YEAH it stopped snowing Now I need to leave see ya all after work Have a great day what left of it One and all
Yup, we had one of those snow showers here too...now it's sunny here and at the nest
BELLE'S CALLING OUT AND LOOKING ABOVE.
uP AND OFF THE EGGS.....
SHE HAS STOPPED FOR THE MOMENT. WONDERING IF SHE IS CALLING FOR A BREAK...
SHE SETTLES BACK DOWN ON THE EGGS FACING 6.....
Poof. Belle just left and the eggs are uncovered. Sure is nice to see all this happening.
And she returned while I was typing.
Shep is on eggs.
Red, I just have to tell you that I don't know what you told our boy Shep but you certainly whipped him into shape. He has been excellent since you trained him! :)
Sometimes a man to man talk helps. haha
Hi there. Dr seems to think its his gall bladder, so we are now at the hospital for a ultrasound...and blood work. Two days off, who was I kidding?? Lol oh well, at least I am not at work dealing with others, I am helping my family that I feel I neglect so much of the time.
Alot of snow squalls. Like it like this because I know it won't last.
They just took him back. Wouldnt let me go back with him. Geesh!
I didn't see the spot on his head. I do now. Thought it was Belle that returned.
Thanks for all the prayers. I pray God answers them!!
RED, welcome back! How's the hip doing?
Sunny here, too, and the snow is mostly gone.
Still some pain Lori but it's getting better each day.
Carolyn, you do have your hands full right now.
JudyE - Bennie is a Lap Cat! I love lap
cats - they are rare. Out of the two I have only 1 is half a lap cat - sometimes he is on my lap and at other times he is lying beside his brother.
Hi Jewels - Jenny (My Jenny) said she
would teach me to text message. I told her I may as well get up with the times.
Only concern I have is that my fingers
aren't as nimble as they once were - sometimes I hit 2 keys and of course the
wrong one shows up!
While you are sitting there waiting for
Charlie's exam you could be relaxing
with Yoga! I'll ask Hoda! Love you! ♥
Awww Jo... Ur so special. I wish relaxing would help!! Texting on my touch screen sometimes gets me in hot water. It makes up words for me. Lol!! Charlie is back, asked to wait out here for the results. Hmmm waiting waiting...nothing is instant is it.
So glad you're headed in the right healing direction, RED!
JEWELS, thanks for jumping on and giving updates. They are really appreciated. We're always here for you and your family. I pray Charlie's results are good and quickly healed!
JO, don't worry about texting mistakes! Everyone makes them! Just watch out for auto-correct, LOL
POOF SHEP!
Shep flies off the cup from nine
somone lands on the camera and vocalizing
HEARING EAGLE CALLS....
MT NEST

BELLE RETURNS

In comes Belle

BELLE SETTLES IN ON EGGS FACING 6is
Belle facing six
Good reporting LINDA!!! LOL we saw the same thing!!!
Too early for a switch... I wonder if Shep will take night duty again? Will he have a short break?
JEWELS Praying for you and CHARLIE... Keep us posted with his test results. Gallbladder is no fun. I had mine removed.
Hi Hoda!! Nice reporting with you!!
CAROLYN - Praying for relief all the way around for you and the family. Hopefully you can get Charlie some answers for Charlie, get him home and settled so you can go be with Mom for a while.
I am sure you are good medicine for LYNN!! She loves her girls!! ♥
Thoughts and prayers for LYNN always...
Okay, so I messed up my typing there, but you get the jest of what I'm sayin' right??
Paula will do - I think that is what
Jenny mentioned - something auto..
MTBR
Hi all,
Just heard on the news there was an earth quake in CA. Maybe Jim or Andy will give us an account.
I haven't seen anything on the BWO cam when I have had time to look,,,but it looks really green.
Afternoon all! Missed the snow @ the nest - looks sunny but windy there now! About 20 minutes after the coaches canceled practices today - baseball, softball, and track - the snow stopped and the sun came out at school!
Glad to see that RED checked in and is feeling better each day! FYI, I fixed my first batch of biscuits and sausage gravy a couple of weeks ago (LYNN sent me the recipe) and it was a huge hit with hubby and son!! Good stuff - real comfort food!!
Great news WANDA on the freezer for the soup kitchen!
JUDY, thanks for clarifying that you were talking about it snowing at the nest, not in FL!! =D
JO, we're with Delmarva Power and they have NONE of the customer incentives that DE Co-op offers! I wish!
JEWELS, sorry to hear about Charlie - it has been one bad thing after another for you recently! Prayers for the whole family, especially for your mom! Sure was hoping she would feel well enough to check in with us today!
Right Linda. That I do.... Thought we was done...charlie went out to car, I had to go back out and get him... Now they want to do a cat scan. Still waiting!!!!
Sandi, that Del Co-op is good...I am with Delmarva power at the beach, too.
Around here, Potomac Edison has a free kit for account holders, light bulbs, shower head, power strip, water screens for faucets...all for free...great energy saver kit. Much better PR move than the $12 light bulbs they charged everyone for a couple of years back.
Good Afternoon, Eagle Buds. Been checking the nest now & then. Last time I looked, Shep was egg sitting. See Belle is back.Wonder if he eggsits more than other males, or we just know he's there from his spot?
Must have been Red's coaching! LOL
Glad to see you back on the Blog. Hope healing continues quickly.
See that Carolyn's Charlie may have gallbladder problems. I had that~~~if so, get it out!!!You feel so much better!
Prayers for Lynn aND Family
Ok this is Angie..Judy's daughter mom I just hack in on your blog..I just wanted to tell the girls on this blog I am glad my mom found each and everyone of you I feel I know you guys as much as she does you all sound like wonderful peps. Also and I am glad you found my mom she is the greatest person I know. She is a wonderful mom.oma.friend anyone can have you guys / gals ate lucky to have her . Now that my moms head is swollen haha gotta go have a wonderful nite.I will pray for a little baby eagle to he born soon
;0)
Angie, I sure like to hear daughters speak of their moms like you just did!
We all also know you and Jordyn is our
sweetheart!
Take care and we will take care of your
mom - she is a special momster!
That wind had Belle fighting to stay off the eggs just now. Skeered the heck out of me.
We love your mom too Angie! ♥
SHEP FLIES IN OVER 10
SHEP MAY HAVE BROUGHT FOOD FOR BELLE??
I SEE SOMETHING RED....
Missed Shep's arrival but it looks like he brought food in for his Belle??
BELLE EATING AT 12 POSITION, SHEP CHECKING ON EGGS AND SETTLES ON EGGS FACING 3...
BELLE STILL EAGING SOMETHING ....RED SPAGHETTI!!
Belle is chowing down on something - good boy, Shep!!
Earthquake--I see a 4.0 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I heard something on the news about this, too.
I guess 4.0 is not too bad.
I see some kind of bloody mess in our nest. Eagle dinner. Belle is chowing down.
Did OC remove their blog below the cam picture? Just noticed it's missing.
I wonder what that was that Shep brought in... Still can't make out what it is. I looked long and red!
Belle is happy eating it!
Cloudy and windy here now. This has been a day.
Almost no snow left now.
Maybe Shep figured that if he delivered food for Belle, she'd be full and wouldn't stick him with night duty?? =)
Whoa . . . I see some flakes blowing around.
SHEP CHANGES HIS POSITION JUST A TAD...
BELLE STILL SNARFING...
Hi, Everyone,
Gosh, I slept in really late this morning (so did Miss Emma!), and it felt really good! Been playing "52 pick-up" every since, though.
Prayers (serious ones!) are constant for our Lynn!!! Praying now for Charlie & Carolyn, too.
Gotta run--Kubby is almost home from work, so gotta move my car so his will fit in the garage! Will check back in later tonight, after dinner. Love to all! :o]...Emma says, "WOOF, WOOF!"
And Poof Belle over 3
RED, the OC forum is still there but it has been removed from the home page. Folks who want to see the posts have to click on the Forum link beneath the cam picture. A good idea, I think.
Proud of Shep taking in duty and bringing in food. Poof Belle. Is Shep on night duty I wonder?
ANGIE great to hear you talk so well of our JUDYE...She has a heart of gold that one.
It scared me too SHARON!!! WOW strong wind...
So Shep will tend to the nest while Belle is out and about after her dinner!
Snarf LINDA??? LOL Belle has to find another way of consuming her meals!!! LOL!!!
Shirley,
A 4.0 in San Francisco is nothing unusual. If nothing falls off a shelf and breaks, everyone just kind of says, "Oh--whatever" and goes on with what they were doing.
Most folks there have knick-knacks stuck down with putty (almost like chewing gum), so most things stay put. It's about the same in the Los Angeles area, too. Guess we're just used to a little shake, rattle, and roll! :o]
Thanks Sandi. I think I'll stay away from their forum though. I seem to stir up trouble when I go there. lol
What REALLY worries me is tornados!
They are usually SO much more destructive, and at night, you can't tell where they are coming from. Such unharnessed power puts the fear of God in me! Guess it's just a matter of what you've had to get used to.
Think I'll take a break and watch the local news on TV.
Later y'all!
RED, I wasn't going to tell you but I heard a rumor that the OC folks ASKED to be moved off of the "front page" so you couldn't find them anymore!! =)
Angie, we love your mom almost as much as you do! You are welcome to "hack the blog" anytime!! But be careful, we can be addictive!!
ANDI, I've got this visual of massive amounts of sticky tack being purchased by Californians to keep things from falling off the shelves during an earthquake! Teachers love sticky tack, too!!
Sandi! Alcatraz tonight starts at 8 until 11:00. 2 hrs - don't know what the reason is but I bet it is good!
I had asked about DEC We have had them
at the summer home since the beginning
I was just commenting on their emails
to BEAT THE PEAK! Very unique idea
Charlie had a enlarged spleen. They are admitting him. Phone is dead. Will update whwn I get home....:(
Sharon YOU ONLY HAVE 5 hrs and 30 min
to be in the 40's
CARO: Prayers for his recovery
Thankful he is being admitted & that they get him Good to Go! ♥
JO, thanks for the heads-up on Alcatraz. Am I correct that it was pre-empted by the race last Monday, or did last week's episode air at a different time/on a different day?
I have seen print ads for DE Co-op - wish we could hook up with them but Delmarva Power is the name of the game here in South Bethany!
Poor JEWELS, so sorry to hear about Charlie! I have no idea what an enlarged spleen signifies - LYNN would be able to tell me!
...and here is another situation where I say I MISS LYNN, I WISHED I could ask her what does it mean to have an enlarged spleen...I google it but it is not the same!!! Love you LYNN
Off to the grocery store so I can be back in time for my now 8 o'clock show. Hope Belle gives Shep a break and returns before long - he's been such a devoted guy!
HODA, I did the same thing - Googled enlarged spleen. But agree, it would be much nicer to ask LYNN.
JO, your taunting of Sharon is shameless! Hope you don't have a "big birthday" coming up soon - what goes around, comes around, girl!! =)
For those who missed it, here is DeeWerms video of SHEP bringing in supper and the changing of the guard with Shep on for evening shift.
Remember SHEP is known as Smitty on the Hancock Foundation.
Shep brings in supper
Ah so! Jo has spilled the beans on Sharon's B'Day!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHARON on YOUR 39TH!!!!
Belle comes in and there was a bit of vocalization...Shep Got off the cup and tried to take off and aborted the the attempt because of the wind and then tried again. Belle is on the eggs...
Second try worked and Shep poofed.
So how do you read this sentence.
"We have a nest in Sheperdstown with an eagle pair and 2 eggs"
Do you pronounce the word a as a long a or "uh".
Sandi? Shirley? Lolly? I spent the day defending what I do to a parent of a new students that came into kindergarten in January.Now I'm hoping that our email conversation doesn't get ME in trouble, but really did feel that I had to defend myself. Geez...this is the kind of stuff that kills me with teaching.
Hello my dear sweet friends. I sure do miss you. I still feel very rugged and lousy. But needed to say hi, and to ask for your prayers now for Charlie. He's just been admitted to hospital with enlarged spleen. He's been very sick for several days.....now obviously not all related to his brother's death. MTBD as more testing is done.
I hope I haven't missed any serious travails for any of you. Just know that I hold you all in prayer as I know you do me. Still don't have strength to sit at puter....so goodnight, dear ones. I love you.
LOL, DMO---I don't think it matters one way or the other......but I probably would normally make it a short "a."
So glad to hear from you Lynn ♥
Rest and take care.
Actually it doesn't but the parent was not happy (I don't think) with the way I was teaching it. Apparently he has been taught the other way.
RED good to here you are doing better
I sure wish we would hear that about MS LYNN Carolyn sorry to hear about the gallbladder possibility Loosing that much weight is not a good thing unless you are on a diet
JO texting is easy just I am slower because of my key pad is a reg phone not like a typewriter Angie and Carl were somewhere I think a concert and I was babysitting Jordyn years ago and I texted her and she was so shocked I figured it out It was after I had gotten my trac phone now I prefer texting instead of talking on phone You will get the hang of it I am sure
SANDI I hope we don't get any snow here LOL Well we did one year just flurries I had taken the kids to get their pictures at OlanMills and we picked a snowy background to remember the day
Got home and started the blog and I see my sweet kid has hacked me oh well if you give her the password is it hacking??????? and I have them in my email from that point on YEAH I love that girl sooo much
I asked everyone in the building and we all teach it the same way when teaching the "word" a. I'm hoping that by telling him all that he doesn't think I was being a smart a$$ but I felt like I had to defend myself and that's an awful position to be put into by a parent, it never turns out good!
BRB
OH NO MY HEAD WON'T FIT THROUGH THE DOOR I AM STUCK IN THE DOOR JAM CALL THE PARAMEDIC LOL JUST KIDDING Thats my Pang Love her to death Now I can go to the eamil she was off work when she did this I don't want her to get in trouble Also she can't use her phone in the building that they have All metal we think has to do with it MY EMAIL BOX IS HAPPY LOL
Sorry to hear about Charlie's enlarged spleen. I assume more tests needed. Looks like it has many causes.
Last I looked, Shep was minding the eggs after bringing Belle road kill dinner! Yuck.
YEAY LYNN posted on the blog!! HIP HIP HURRAH!!!
Thanks LYNN...soooooo wonderful to see you on here...
IF ANYONE ELSE WANT OFF THE DAILY PPS LIST PLEASE LET ME KNOW I JUST GO A REQUEST AND I WILL DELETE YOU FROM MY ADDRESS BOOK AS I EXPLAINED WITH ALL THE EMAILING WITH THE SURPRISE FOR LYNNE2 I GOT EVERYONE ON MY ADDRESS BOOK SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS

Yippee and more yippee! Lynn was here. Hey gal pal. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry about Charlie but think I remember that spleen is not a necessity. Hope he gets better soon and you even sooner.
Hoda, thank you for the video link. The latest copy of Emily Post is on the way to the nest with a postit marking "fish course."
Sharon, happy 39th again!
Off to digest dinner and watch Jeopardy.
So, DanaMo, how do you teach it? I never had a problem with teaching it. I think most people would read it as "uh". It is sort of artificial to say long a. If a child, while reading, said a or uh, I would not correct them.
Oh, dear long "a" or "uh"? I would be asking the kindergarten teacher, not telling her.
I am not a reading teacher, so I do not have an answer.
If I were the parent, I would do the same thing.
I think I probably was taught to say the long "a" because when I heard a child (probably my own) say "uh", I thought--"Oh, that isn't what I expected but it makes sense."
I hope you do not worry over this too much, DanaMo. I think the parent is the one with the problem. And I think it is likely he will have more important things to ponder as his child grows up.
Yes!!!!! Lynn, just seeing your name on here was a thrill. Love you, girl!!
Hi Judie!!
I have to go back and read Lynn's post!!
JUDIE JUDIE JUDIE...We have a SERIOUS PROBLEM!!! LINDA reported Belle as SCARFING her food at supper time!!! Now what would Emily Post say? How are we going to tell Miss Belle not to scarf her food??? Do you see how serious a situation this is? LOL
...it is a bit worse than putting one's elbows on the table!!! Oh my I am distraught!!!
I am on my way to Yoga...maybe this will help me deal with this problem...
BBL
...and look at how lady like she is now...who would have thunk it???LOL
Hi Judie!!
I have to go back and read Lynn's post!!
Okay, I found it. So happy to see you on here, Lynn.
And, DanaMo, I would say "uh" now. That is why I think it makes sense, but I think either is fine when you are teaching a child.
This parent will find that there are lots of times when there is more than one correct answer. Geesh!
OK am caught up and the cat is still on the chair and asleep I gently picked him up and put him on the couch I don't think that is what he wanted
SO HAPPY LYNN POPED IN YEAH JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF WE WILL BE HERE WHEN YOU GET BETTER I know SHARON is letting you know we think of you as well as your fantastic daughter's and so sorry to hear about the enlarged spleen
I called Angie and read her you all email she giggled She was sitting at the bank and logged on then So she is going to try to hook me up with email daily YEAH that will be so nice
HODA You are a riot to funny gal have a good yoga lesson and I wish I had your energy can you send me some please
I am gonna upload a video I took of the snow fluries this afternoon and a short one of this evening right when I got home BBL still watching the news toooo
Dana, i think when someone says 'a' nest it implies that there is only one.
