Good morning to all! Thank you STEVE for the nice new thread!!!!!!
JUDYE: Jordyn's party looked absolutely wonderful! How creative of Angie....she made the perfect princess party I do believe!!! love all the pix!
How is your wrist? It could be several things, you know NSAIDs are good, but ice can be helpful as well in relieving inflammation.....let us know how that is going....
MAGPIE: sounds as if you had an emotional day yesterday...(((Hugs))) and love to you my friend.
HODA: i thought of you yesterday as I painted my toenails and donned sandals...I wish spring to you soon....
LORI: hope things are improving with your dad
DANAMO : good to see you checking in. let us know about the ducks!
I had a good day yesterday. In the morning I volunteered at Mind Body, which is the massage school I graduated from, also where I teach my classes....Maj Lis, the owner and friend of mine, organized a spa day with all proceeds going to Relay for Life. I couldn't give as much time as I would have liked to have (JUDYE: i bought a luminaria for mom), but I did donate some time and gave Reiki sessions. They had an area set up for massage, chiropractic adjustments, mani-pedi-s, foot massage, and paraffin dips....she raised just over $2000 for relay for life!!!!
In the afternoon we went to my grandson's base ball game. Chelsea's mother in law is in town, and if I can't say something nice I won't say anything at all. Let's just leave it with Carol adn I are like oil and water. *sigh* I just played with Lorelei, paid attention to my grandkids, my kids and watched my grandson get his first base hit!!!!
Then we had dinner at a local mexican place we love with Tom's side of the family His cousin Debbie, whom I adore, organized this dinner as a farewell to her son who is going active duty in the Air Force. She is taking this pretty hard.....its her first leaving the nest. And, her baby will be going to college later this year.....
It was a good day.
Today is my oldest granddaughter's 7th birthday and we will be going over to celebrate this afternoon. She wants Carrabbas for dinner. Kid has good taste. lol.
Well I need to get off my hiney, clean my house and get moving. The coffee mug is now empty and the dust bunnies are calling my name.......... (sigh) should I change my name??? lol
Good morning all. Magpie I loved the story about the note you found at your bil grave yesterday. How very special. I am sure it touched your heart. Prayers continue for the needs that continue on our blog. I am glad a couple of you found the link to yesterdays photo of the nesting eagle. She is actually almost an hour away BUT when you get there you can get closer to the nest than any I have ever been to. Not so good for the eagle. Hoping folks do not find her and leave her there in peace to nest and raise her young. hAGD all.
Thanks Steve for the new thread and Janet for the call over. Time to get outside and do some planting but needed to check the box to get emailed blog comments.
Good Morning Eagle Pals... Gracious, there are some whirling dervishes amongst us! I think Janet and Hoda must be related.... they clearly somehow pack 36 hours into a 24 hour day....
and for some wonderful causes, including for Family and Friends...
Speaking of wishes....I appreciate ALL the well-wishes from my friends here on my hands and wrists...if wishes could do it, I would be Well-Healed right now! Thank You !
and I see JudyE is back in action with HER hand and wrist, and figured out the cause...
Lori...thank you for the updates on your father and Kate's sister Annie....hope the home-healing and health care works well for your Dad. and for Annie...I had learned with my sister several years back...there is a period of inner euphoria and settling that takes place, once the body adjusts to no oral intakes...it can be a peaceful and painless transition and I dearly hope this is the case with dear Annie... (( Hugs for All of You ♥ ))
Very nice to find a new thread for this beautiful Sunday morning. Thanks you Steve.
Janet you are one busy woman but continue to do it all while you can. Sandi - it is a good day for planting your mom's flowers. Margy - are you at work today - I guess I better read the previous thread.. I had just signed on and came right to this page. Thanks for finding it Janet.... BBL
Wow! Hedgie and Shamrock are really showing off how much they've grown. Looking beauteous along with Mom basking in the sunshine.
Jo, how is Christine? Michael? Miss Meatball?
Margy, Mom Kestrel was covering the eggs when I checked. So, two it is. I think I remember last year there were about 4 or 5 babies. Have a great afternoon with James the Wise.
So glad Sandi had a wonderful time and will do some outdoor decorating for her Mom. I'm sure she will truly appreciate the results.
Janet, enjoy your granddaughter's birthday and birthday dinner.
Just printed two final exams to be revised for May 7. Four more class days and one exam day.
Think I'll head the kitchen to look for some food challenges.
Got my computer connected through my phone...pretty cool!
Just saw a battle in the air! I saw an osprey fly over the house, and he was chirping...I figured at another osprey. But no, he was chasing a 2 YO juvie eagle. The juvie had a fish in his talons. But wait, there's more. Then, I see an adult eagle chasing the juvie as well! He was trying to get the fish from him, and the ospreys were trying to chase both of them away!
They circled over and around the house about 2 times, then the osprey chased the eagles out over the marsh. So I ran from the backyard to the front yard...and saw both eagles disappearing over the marsh, and the ospreys coming back.
Really amazing to see! The adult eagle was definitely trying to snatch that fish from the juvies talons!
Judie - Christine has had her 2 week checkup after surgery and has been given the ok to start running and exercising again. She refers to herself as the Pavement Princewss! Michael is doing well - he still lives here with us - he is active with his church and some other groups. He is planning to go back to Haiti for a week to the orphanage in June. He is very determined to raise funds to be able to do so. Alexis is excelling in school and also with her dance - she loves the Irish step dancing and is quite good prancing around. The Ft Bragg gals are doing very well - No word yet on a date for Patrick's discharge- at which time they will come back to MD or go to WV.
Christine is very excited because she thinks she can enter this fall the USC school of Social Work. She can take advantage of Pat's GI Bill and cut the expenses which is why she thought she could only dream about going there. Very happy she can do this.
Good Afternoon Eagle Buds! Saw the Huge peaglets alone on one side of the nest. Look at those wings and feetsies! I guess they are 5 weeks old today (& yesterday). Lovely pictures from Janet~~tried to make a comment about 1/2 dozen times, but robot ate them. I don't see any command to post them after you've written, except Home & it never worked. I sent them a Help ???, but probably won't get an answer. AARRGGHH
Margy, have a great day with James the Wise! Jo, thanks for the reports on Christine and Michael. How wonderful if she can take the classes she wants! She must be a chip off the block~~~social work! ☺ ♥ Best to all~~~getting back outside for plant duty
Good evening good people!!! I am asat work, exhausted and am only 24 min into shift. Pulled a 12 hr yesterday into this morning, and also pulled a muscle in my back righ shoulder blade, unsure how, but I am needing a massage for sure!! Will try to read back and see what I have missed and I apologize if I cannot comment on everyones posts.
Bless your heart Lori, your plate is so very full. I wish there were something I could do to help lighten your load. I do remember you and your family in prayer everyday, I just wanted you to know.
LORI please tell her Kate we are all thinking of her and hope that Annie transition is a peacefully one No one can ever prepare for these times (((((((HUGS)))))))♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Hi all! Got home about 4pm and have been unpacking and then returning phone calls. Got Mom's plants planted - one neighbor thanked us for doing the planting while he was walking out to his car.
Paula, thanks for the bow lby blow of the eagles and the osprey - wow, what a sight that must have been!!
Lori, prayers for Annie and for Kate and her whole family. Sad, difficult time for them, just waiting. Your test is in 10 days, right??? Crunch time!
Jo, what a wonderful update on Christine and Michael! Haiti in June sounds wonderful!!
Need to get laundry going and then feed people and pets. Later!
New photos on Glo's Glimpses from yesterdays outing with Dex and a Friend. If you leave a comment it will send to my email before publishing so you won't see it right away. <b.BUT</b. you also don't have to guess at those kapshaw letters/ numbers or whatever they are called.No need to comment but for me it is pretty much my way of sharing anything photo wise with anyone.
I think I found them GLO on your FB regular page I found some awesome pictures WOW I love the texture of the one picture just amazing how do you get it to look like that
LORETTA there is a trick or sort in order to comment on JANETS blog why I don't know but after you type comment I just hit Edit after the robot command and it post
LORI I am here. Worked at my MLA'S Campaign office. MLA is Member of Legislative Assembly. We are having a Provincial Election here on the 14th of May. Things are picking up. After the Writ is dropped we only allow foud weeks of campaigning. It usually starts the week before the writ is dropped. Opening offices, establishing office routines and getting volunteers. So once we engage we are steady for four weeks.
That is where I was today.
MARGY I was exhausted after reading JANET'S post. She takes the cake for how much she can fit in a day. LOL!!!
LORI Glad your DAD is home. PRAYERS for KATE and ANNIE and her transition. You never know it might take longer...not on our time on God's Time always on God's Time!!!
JO sounds good about Christine and Michael. I wish them both well.
AWESOME Story about the eagles and the osprey PAULA GOOD ON YOU BIG BIG TIME GOOD ON YOU!
Heart is Heavy about the anniversary coming up and missing LYNN big time...She would have had a lot of wisdom and humour and reflection to add to our lives this year and I still find myself looking for her posts...Bad dream time to wake up experience!!! Glad she is no longer suffering with the treatment though...God Bless Her Soul.
OK, my brother-in-law picked up my school bag from Mom's, scanned the documents I absolutely have to have for tomorrow and attached them to an email to me, and will mail the whole bag to my school tomorrow - I'll have it by Wednesday. Catastrophe averted!!!
Sandi: Sounds like you have things well under control, and your brother in law sounds like a real GEM... don't you talk about my friend like that, calling her an idiot! ☺ Noooooo Waaaaaaay! Just think of all the Positives from thsi week-end, and pat yourself on the back, BIG TIME!
Jewels Whadda Mean ?? working over four hours this morning ??? was that planned, or one of those....call ins that you got stuck with ??? Two hours and 8 minutes to go until freedom! I am so sorry about your pulled muscle.....hope you can find yourself a good masseuse...I can suggest a few good ones around here, Janet is a little too far away I think... xoxo (( Hugs for you ))
Lori... as always, Prayers for your Special People.... and for your studies....hope you were able to collect to some Vitamin D and K vitamins today.....
I had some stellar time today with James the Wise Kidster today, and here is my favorite part...which I shared with Jo already by email:
"James and I did a lot of things today, one was to play the game 20 questions....on the third round, here is how my questions and his answers went...trying to guess "his Person" Is it a Female ? Yes Is she an Adult? Yes Is she a Relative? No then he threw out this clue: We know this person from the Eagle Blog. My next question: Is it Mema Jo? and his answer, a Rousing, Joyful YES! We loved it...and I said I could not wait to put this on the Blog!"
Mema Jo sought out James a couple or three years ago on the streets of Shepherdstown, Easter Parade Day...I had given Jo clues to look for.... she found a young fellow, and said are you James? and he replied "I Am" and she told him that she knows his grandmother Margy...☺ ♥ He shall ALWAYS remember this...
Our Milk Toast tonight was for Lorraine, Lori and family, Jo and Family, AND all our friends in need of special prayers....
xoxo ♥ Yes, I am truly blessed to have this fellow in my life.
LOL, Oh no Not planned, Someone did ot know she was scheduled to work and had no babysitter, yet learned that she sign up for that ot. Wanted alternative plans that had one coming in at midnight and work till noon and she would have in turn worked noon to midnight, which was not fair for the one to comein at midnught when she had jsut got off at 4pm. this has happened three times in a few short weeks and quite frankly getting old!!!!
Judie: four classes and one exam.... oh my....that is amazing.... Best Wishes on all that.... and Please.... would you ask the Sandperson to bypass Martinsburg for a few hours? I need to get a shower in and all the girly stuff that goes with it.... have a "to-do" list for Monday longer than both of my arms... and am emailing with my nieces and nephews about the Special Letter left at their Dad's gravesite.... Thanks!
sounds like you had a great day Mommm2!!! Hoda, I was just thinking on my way to work how close it is to that one year, Still cannot think of that without crying! I wish it were all a bad dream and we would wake up already! PLanning a few things. I wanna do a plant in memory of Mom on mothers day. Waiting to see if I am approved for that day off. Possibly planning a get together with my sister on the 25th. Gotta see what is to come. Won't get called into work that day, but who knows about the 26th.
Jewels...I had a sneaking feeling that that four hour shift was going to be forgotten...BUT calls were place earlier in the day that went unanswered....regarding the 4-12 shift that was needing to be filled.... Enough is Enough !!!! I am sooo sorry.... and I love you....xoxoxo
Positive Thoughts, Jewels, Positive Thoughts.... things have a way of working out... and you have a good case to plead on the importance of it all... and your stellar credit there at the office.... ((( Gynormous Hugs )))
good evening to one and all....thank you for any and all compliments on the pix. i have set the silly thing to accept any comments, but it doesn't comply....so my apologies....
what a day. got the house cleaned this morning, took olivia out to buy a slip to go under her new dress. do you know how difficult it is to find a slip, much less an EXTRA small one??????? that was a challenge.
then over to the kids' house for the granddaughter's 7th bday. she was a rock star today!
then did carrabbas for dinner, birthday girl's request. they have the MOST amazing blackberry sangria and i love their pasta weezie!!! oh my gosh. and better yet, i have half of it saved for lunch tomorrow!!!
lol, i don't believe I am related to Hoda, but how great would that be! :) she is an awesome lady!
well let me skeedaddle......have to hit the hay soon. i assure you 5:15 comes early! good night to all! SED
Oh I have seen the most beautiful wildflowers these last few days....and a very long stretch of beautiful forsythias.... saw a great patch of Colstfoot earlier today, but it was NOT in a good place to pull over and photograph it...
Lynne2: Thinking of you! I want you to know about my Chipping Sparrow !
Hello, just popping in for a quick HELLO! Sounds like birthdays, grandson and family visits, surgical recoveries and positive medical attention, fabulous nature watching, playing in dirt, floating on boats....WOW!
Just a few glitches...Sandi's scool stuff, Jewels extra shift and pulled muscle.
Oh Great! SEE you Lynne2 - Hope YOUR week-end included a lot of OUTSIDE TIME !
I really want to add Swinging Bridge to my list for Monday!
Has Anyone seen anyting of CarolAnne anywhere? FB or anywhere else? I have sent a few snail mails...I am really hoping she and her family are doing OK!
Sorry to Magpie up the posts so much tonight...got a lot of energy rolling but I will jump in the shower soon and be quiet
Oh yes, Lynne2, those house finches really sing up a storm! I DO have them nesting nearby, and have Song Sparrows also.... cardinals, and Mockingbird.... not bad for an apartment in town....
Hellooooooo all!!!! What a wonderful afternoon. Jack and I worked in the yard. We were getting plants out of the house, moving pots out of the garage, pulling weeds and spreading more mulch. It was just a perfect day outside. Love the weather! We sat on the front patio after our work and then ate dinner on the patio. Tomorrow more yard work Loving it and things are shaping up!
Jo, dearly loved your family update. So very happy things are going well for Michael and Christine.
Sandi, Sandi, Sandi! Just died when I read your post, knew and felt your panic. Glad it all worked out well. Anyone of us could have done it....we are human!! :)
Lori, prayers for Annie, Kate, and family. So, very sad.
anxiously awaiting WOOD THRUSH! Thinking I won't hear one here. No woods for about 200 yards or so, and not a big, uninterrupted patch. But at the park....I'm SURE they'll be there!
Heard my first one last year the day Lynn passed....
Did see the one about the eagles and the ospreys at Paula's. Wow! That would have been fantastic to watch.
Belated happy birthday to Jordyn.
Yay, Judie is winding down the school year.
Thank goodness for scanning and e-mailing, Sandi. In my very early years of teaching, I once left my grade book at my mother's house.
I knew it was in the drawer of the nightstand, so I just did not mention it to her because I had planned to be there again the following weekend and could do without it for a week.
She discovered it, thought it was an emergency, gave it to a friend to mail who sent it book rate. It was weeks before I saw that grade book again. Had already told my supervisor it was gone when it showed up in a battered package. Lord only knows where it had gone through all of that time.
Zach story......Got a phone csll this afternoon on my cell phone. Did not recognize the number but knew it was Dallas. It was Zacharooski! "Hey", he said. "I'm at my office and I've got a problem. Remember that Disney program we did? Well, I want to do it but my mouse won't work." I knew he was at Michael's office. So we discussed getting the moust to work, but asked why his Dad could not help him. He was apparently out of his office at the moment. I told him I could not help him because I was so far away and we talked about his not being able to see me from the office windows. (Two walls of floor to ceiling glass, corner office on the 44th floor.) In the background at one point I heard Michael ask who he was talking to and Michael laughed. He then told me his Dad would help him and goodbye. He hung up but did tell me he loved me. Love my Zacharooski...personality plus!!
MARGY. YES in regards C/A. I commented on some picture changes she made to her FB page and she let me know the story behind the blooming cut branches. I see her on FB when she likes a page and when she changes things. NOT OFTEN just enough to let me feel she is alright. Her sight is a problem so she does not post often on blog or FB. Gracious and Fine Lady she is. Very talented too.
Well, the sandperson got me first. Woke me up though trying to pack his travel bag. Said he saw Margy's request and will make a late visit to Martinsburg.
Saw earlier Jo's update on the family Lennox. Thank you, Jo. Just been wondering about everyone.
Will read back in the morning. Headed back to the pillows.
Shirley, I ran out of picture space last year and haven't added to it in all this time. I think it's about 2 or 3 dollars a month for more space. I didn't want to get rid of anything that I had worked so hard on to make more room!
ZACK and HUNTER....these guys make for the best funny stories!
Lolly, I think it was you who mentioned that Joseph had gotten a note from a girl with the request to "check here if you like me." Well, Kathryn found a note like that in Hunter's pocket, and a second one that requested that he "check here if you checked the first note."
He hadn't checked anything, but he had kept the notes.
yes it is alot of ot. I am tired. our 4-12 shift has been insanely busy. I am h oping to get a tattoo with that money!! Or save it back to attach to when I get my new veh!!!
Thanks Shirely....I guess I just assumed everyone has seen most of it. I think I will see for sure what the cost is. JudyE had the same thing happen. I like doing photo albums on FB, but I truly liked working on my blog much better!
OK now Hunter and the notes remind me of this really adorable George Strait song...
Need to wind down here. Will be busy this week as bridge is at my house on Wednesday night. I also have my last day of bowling on Tuesday morning, and need to finish up the mortgage refinancing. There was a call from the bank waiting for me in my phone messages and on my misplaced cell phone.
They had fun, but did not bring any fish home this time. Kathryn nixed the idea Hunter had to bring home a frog he found, thank goodness. It was a big frog--I'm very happy it was left in its mountain home.
We started putting Annie in the garage at night because of her yowling. She loves it! Tonight she was at the back door, yowling to be let into the garage. So happy she likes it!
I am closing down for the evening. My eyes are tired..so time to shut them. Night all!
Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. I love you ALL!
Kate is calling at 8 this morning, so I'll get an update on Annie, but she emailed that she made it through the night. Kate thinks it should not be long now.
Wishing everyone a fine and wonderful day with joy in your heart and a smile on your face!
Isla is in a terrific wind storm and getting buffed around this morning.
RTH nest has rain; Lily and Jewel have both dismantled their microphone casings; Ted and Lucky are not friends now; I think Ms. Kestrel has a third egg.

Good morning to all! Thank you STEVE for the nice new thread!!!!!!
JUDYE: Jordyn's party looked absolutely wonderful! How creative of Angie....she made the perfect princess party I do believe!!! love all the pix!
How is your wrist? It could be several things, you know NSAIDs are good, but ice can be helpful as well in relieving inflammation.....let us know how that is going....

LORI: hope things are improving with your dad
DANAMO : good to see you checking in. let us know about the ducks!
I had a good day yesterday. In the morning I volunteered at Mind Body, which is the massage school I graduated from, also where I teach my classes....Maj Lis, the owner and friend of mine, organized a spa day with all proceeds going to Relay for Life. I couldn't give as much time as I would have liked to have (JUDYE: i bought a luminaria for mom), but I did donate some time and gave Reiki sessions. They had an area set up for massage, chiropractic adjustments, mani-pedi-s, foot massage, and paraffin dips....she raised just over $2000 for relay for life!!!!
In the afternoon we went to my grandson's base ball game. Chelsea's mother in law is in town, and if I can't say something nice I won't say anything at all. Let's just leave it with Carol adn I are like oil and water. *sigh* I just played with Lorelei, paid attention to my grandkids, my kids and watched my grandson get his first base hit!!!!
Then we had dinner at a local mexican place we love with Tom's side of the family His cousin Debbie, whom I adore, organized this dinner as a farewell to her son who is going active duty in the Air Force. She is taking this pretty hard.....its her first leaving the nest. And, her baby will be going to college later this year.....
It was a good day.
Today is my oldest granddaughter's 7th birthday and we will be going over to celebrate this afternoon. She wants Carrabbas for dinner. Kid has good taste. lol.
Well I need to get off my hiney, clean my house and get moving. The coffee mug is now empty and the dust bunnies are calling my name.......... (sigh) should I change my name??? lol
Light, love, hugs and smiles to all
Good morning all. Magpie I loved the story about the note you found at your bil grave yesterday. How very special. I am sure it touched your heart. Prayers continue for the needs that continue on our blog. I am glad a couple of you found the link to yesterdays photo of the nesting eagle. She is actually almost an hour away BUT when you get there you can get closer to the nest than any I have ever been to. Not so good for the eagle. Hoping folks do not find her and leave her there in peace to nest and raise her young. hAGD all.
I have posted some pix on my blog, if you care to peek. :) HAGD
Thanks Steve for the new thread and Janet for the call over. Time to get outside and do some planting but needed to check the box to get emailed blog comments.
Another beautiful day weatherwise! Enjoy!!
Good Morning Eagle Pals...
Gracious, there are some whirling dervishes amongst us!
I think Janet and Hoda must be related....
they clearly somehow pack 36 hours
into a 24 hour day....
and for some wonderful causes, including for Family and Friends...
Best Wishes for all the Birthdays out there !
Speaking of wishes....I appreciate ALL the well-wishes from my friends here on my hands and wrists...if wishes could do it,
I would be Well-Healed right now!
Thank You !
Thanks for the New Thread,
to Steve
and to Janet for the call-over
Nice Spanking Spring Sunday Thread....
glad Hunter was able to find the
cell phone Shirley!
Bet he was quite proud of himself!
and I see JudyE is back in action
with HER hand and wrist,
and figured out the cause...
Lori...thank you for the updates
on your father and Kate's sister
Annie....hope the home-healing and health care works well for your Dad.
and for Annie...I had learned
with my sister several years back...there is a period of
inner euphoria and settling that
takes place, once the body adjusts
to no oral intakes...it can be
a peaceful and painless transition
and I dearly hope this is the
case with dear Annie...
(( Hugs for All of You ♥ ))
Very nice to find a new thread for this beautiful Sunday morning. Thanks you Steve.
Janet you are one busy woman but continue to do it all while you can.

Thank you, Steve, for the fresh Sunday thread.
Wow! Hedgie and Shamrock are really showing off how much they've grown. Looking beauteous along with Mom basking in the sunshine.
Jo, how is Christine? Michael? Miss Meatball?
Margy, Mom Kestrel was covering the eggs when I checked. So, two it is. I think I remember last year there were about 4 or 5 babies. Have a great afternoon with James the Wise.
So glad Sandi had a wonderful time and will do some outdoor decorating for her Mom. I'm sure she will truly appreciate the results.

Really amazing to see! The adult eagle was definitely trying to snatch that fish from the juvies talons!
OK, gotta run, going out on SueEllen's sister's boat...we thought we were going at 2, they thought 1...so I gotta go.
BBL
Home for lunch and find a fresh thread
THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD STEVE
Wow, Paula! Paradice is getting better and better for you!! What a fantastic thing to see. Keep your eyes to the sky!!!
Home from church. Need to eat again, mop some floors and then out I go!!! Too bad I do not have eagles flying over me!!
Judie - Christine has had her 2 week checkup after surgery and has been given the ok to start running and exercising again. She refers to herself as the Pavement Princewss!
Michael is doing well - he still lives here with us - he is active with his church and some other groups. He is planning to go back to Haiti for a week to the orphanage in June. He is very determined to raise funds to be able to do so. Alexis is excelling in school and also with her dance - she loves the Irish step dancing and is quite good prancing around. The Ft Bragg gals are doing very well - No word yet on a date for Patrick's discharge- at which time they will come back to MD or go to WV.
Christine is very excited because she thinks she can enter this fall the USC school of Social Work. She can take advantage of Pat's GI Bill and cut the expenses which is why she thought she could only dream about going there. Very happy she can do this.
Good Afternoon Eagle Buds!
Saw the Huge peaglets alone on one side of the nest. Look at those wings and feetsies! I guess they are 5 weeks old today (& yesterday).
Lovely pictures from Janet~~tried to make a comment about 1/2 dozen times, but robot ate them. I don't see any command to post them after you've written, except Home & it never worked. I sent them a Help ???, but probably won't get an answer. AARRGGHH
Margy, have a great day with James the Wise!
Jo, thanks for the reports on Christine and Michael. How wonderful if she can take the classes she wants! She must be a chip off the block~~~social work! ☺ ♥
Best to all~~~getting back outside for plant duty
Good evening good people!!! I am asat work, exhausted and am only 24 min into shift. Pulled a 12 hr yesterday into this morning, and also pulled a muscle in my back righ shoulder blade, unsure how, but I am needing a massage for sure!! Will try to read back and see what I have missed and I apologize if I cannot comment on everyones posts.
Good Afternoon Everyone!!!

Beautiful day here...finally sunny.
Glad to hear lots of Momsters are getting outside. I'm inside studying, taking breaks to enjoy the sunshine.
JO - thanks for the family update.

PAULA, enjoy your boat trip! Thanks for the play by play from the sky. AWESOME!
Dad had his shots today and is doing okay... Kate emailed that she thought Annie would pass today or tomorrow. Thanks for all your prayers.
Bless your heart Lori, your plate is so very full. I wish there were something I could do to help lighten your load. I do remember you and your family in prayer everyday, I just wanted you to know.
HELLO HOME FROM WORK AND BIG CAM SHAKE AND BOTH EAGLETS ARE PASSED OUT IN EACH OF THEIR OWN SIDE OF NEST
LORI please tell her Kate we are all thinking of her and hope that Annie transition is a peacefully one No one can ever prepare for these times
(((((((HUGS)))))))♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Hi all! Got home about 4pm and have been unpacking and then returning phone calls. Got Mom's plants planted - one neighbor thanked us for doing the planting while he was walking out to his car.
Paula, thanks for the bow lby blow of the eagles and the osprey - wow, what a sight that must have been!!
Lori, prayers for Annie and for Kate and her whole family. Sad, difficult time for them, just waiting. Your test is in 10 days, right??? Crunch time!
Jo, what a wonderful update on Christine and Michael! Haiti in June sounds wonderful!!
Need to get laundry going and then feed people and pets. Later!
New photos on Glo's Glimpses from yesterdays outing with Dex and a Friend. If you leave a comment it will send to my email before publishing so you won't see it right away. <b.BUT</b. you also don't have to guess at those kapshaw letters/ numbers or whatever they are called.No need to comment but for me it is pretty much my way of sharing anything photo wise with anyone.
GLO I am on your fb page and see no pictures the last entry March 14 when you updated your cover are they in aalbum I will go poke around
is it on your Glo's Glimpses Take 2
I think I found them GLO on your FB regular page I found some awesome pictures WOW I love the texture of the one picture just amazing how do you get it to look like that
Yes Judy you found FB BUT I did put them here on Blogger also for those not on fb.
I just looked at them here just now and you have more here I love them all GLO
LORETTA there is a trick or sort in order to comment on JANETS blog why I don't know but after you type comment I just hit Edit after the robot command and it post
piglets are up and BELLE is in the nest
not feeding at all I see no food maybe some hidden Could be waiting for SHEP to deliver grub
Odd the chicks aren't making any noises either just sittin with MAW BELLE
Janet I left you a lovely comment BUT I guess I pass as a robot!
Hubby and I went to Paneras for soup &
sandwich this evening.
Eaglets look comfy - an adult is watching over them.. It could be Belle
Going to check out evening TV - Good Wife maybe.... BBL
I am here in Bethany Beach, DE ... BUT ... all of my school books are in Elkridge, MD!!!!!!!
@&$*!%#&#?$
LORI I am here. Worked at my MLA'S Campaign office. MLA is Member of Legislative Assembly. We are having a Provincial Election here on the 14th of May. Things are picking up. After the Writ is dropped we only allow foud weeks of campaigning. It usually starts the week before the writ is dropped. Opening offices, establishing office routines and getting volunteers. So once we engage we are steady for four weeks.
That is where I was today.
MARGY I was exhausted after reading JANET'S post. She takes the cake for how much she can fit in a day. LOL!!!
LORI Glad your DAD is home. PRAYERS for KATE and ANNIE and her transition. You never know it might take longer...not on our time on God's Time always on God's Time!!!
JO sounds good about Christine and Michael. I wish them both well.
AWESOME Story about the eagles and the osprey PAULA GOOD ON YOU BIG BIG TIME GOOD ON YOU!
Heart is Heavy about the anniversary coming up and missing LYNN big time...She would have had a lot of wisdom and humour and reflection to add to our lives this year and I still find myself looking for her posts...Bad dream time to wake up experience!!!
Glad she is no longer suffering with the treatment though...God Bless Her Soul.
Oh NO NO NO SANDI!!!
Can a courier bring them over before school tomorrow? It will be costly I am sure, but it will save you the drive. This is a nightmare!!!
NEW MATH!!! Foud really means FOUR in the old system of counting!!! LOL!!!
OK, my brother-in-law picked up my school bag from Mom's, scanned the documents I absolutely have to have for tomorrow and attached them to an email to me, and will mail the whole bag to my school tomorrow - I'll have it by Wednesday. Catastrophe averted!!!
What an IDIOT I am!!!
Goodnight all!
Glad it is OK SANDI.
NO you are NOT NOT NOT an idiot! I beg to differ.
Good BIL you got there and good thinking and action.
US mail works fast!!
The Late Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau's Son Justin won the Federal Liberal Party leadership today...this is a first in Canadian History...
Sandi: Sounds like you have things well under control,
and your brother in law sounds like a real GEM...
don't you talk about my friend like that, calling her an idiot!
☺ Noooooo Waaaaaaay!
Just think of all the Positives from thsi week-end, and pat yourself on the back, BIG TIME!
xoxoxox ♥
Oh Paula, wowser to the MAX, what an experience you witnessed, and
described so very well here to us.
It is just so proper that YOU would witness such a Wildlife
Event !
Jo:
Exquisite Report on Michael, Christine and Alexis....
could you, would you, please adopt me into the Family Lennox ??
Jewels
Whadda Mean ?? working over four hours this morning ??? was that planned, or one of those....call ins that you got stuck with ???
Two hours and 8 minutes to go until freedom!
I am so sorry about your pulled muscle.....hope you can find yourself a good masseuse...I can suggest a few good ones around here, Janet is a little too far away I think...
xoxo (( Hugs for you ))
Lori...
as always, Prayers for your Special People....
and for your studies....hope you were able to collect to some Vitamin D and K vitamins today.....
I had some stellar time today
with James the Wise Kidster today, and here is my favorite part...which I shared with Jo
already by email:
"James and I did a lot of things today, one was to play the game 20 questions....on the third round, here is how my questions and his answers went...trying to guess "his Person"
Is it a Female ? Yes
Is she an Adult? Yes
Is she a Relative? No
then he threw out this clue:
We know this person from the Eagle Blog.
My next question: Is it Mema Jo?
and his answer, a Rousing, Joyful YES!
We loved it...and I said I could not wait to put this on the Blog!"
Mema Jo sought out James a couple or three years ago on the streets of Shepherdstown, Easter Parade Day...I had given Jo clues to look for....
she found a young fellow, and said
are you James?
and he replied "I Am"
and she told him that she knows his grandmother Margy...☺ ♥
He shall ALWAYS remember this...
Our Milk Toast tonight was for Lorraine, Lori and family, Jo and Family, AND all our friends in need of special prayers....
xoxo ♥
Yes, I am truly blessed to have this fellow in my life.
LOL, Oh no Not planned, Someone did ot know she was scheduled to work and had no babysitter, yet learned that she sign up for that ot. Wanted alternative plans that had one coming in at midnight and work till noon and she would have in turn worked noon to midnight, which was not fair for the one to comein at midnught when she had jsut got off at 4pm.
this has happened three times in a few short weeks and quite frankly getting old!!!!
Judie:
four classes and one exam....
oh my....that is amazing....
Best Wishes on all that....
and Please....
would you ask the Sandperson to
bypass Martinsburg for a few hours?
I need to get a shower in and all the girly stuff that goes with it....
have a "to-do" list for Monday longer than both of my arms...
and am emailing with my nieces and nephews about the Special Letter left at their Dad's gravesite....
Thanks!
sounds like you had a great day Mommm2!!!
Hoda, I was just thinking on my way to work how close it is to that one year, Still cannot think of that without crying! I wish it were all a bad dream and we would wake up already! PLanning a few things. I wanna do a plant in memory of Mom on mothers day. Waiting to see if I am approved for that day off. Possibly planning a get together with my sister on the 25th. Gotta see what is to come. Won't get called into work that day, but who knows about the 26th.
Jewels...I had a sneaking feeling that that four hour shift was going to be forgotten...BUT calls were place earlier in the day that
went unanswered....regarding the
4-12 shift that was needing to be filled....
Enough is Enough !!!!
I am sooo sorry....
and I love you....xoxoxo
Positive Thoughts, Jewels,
Positive Thoughts....
things have a way of working out...
and you have a good case to plead on the importance of it all...
and your stellar credit there at the office....

Livvy...let me know her general size and how soon you would need it....
Oh I have seen the most beautiful
wildflowers these last few days....and a very long stretch of
beautiful forsythias....
saw a great patch of Colstfoot earlier today, but it was NOT in a good place to pull over and photograph it...
Lynne2: Thinking of you!
I want you to know about my
Chipping Sparrow !
Hello, just popping in for a quick HELLO! Sounds like birthdays, grandson and family visits, surgical recoveries and positive medical attention, fabulous nature watching, playing in dirt, floating on boats....WOW!
Just a few glitches...Sandi's scool stuff, Jewels extra shift and pulled muscle.
Prayers for Annie as she transitions.

Hellooooooo all!!!! What a wonderful afternoon. Jack and I worked in the yard. We were getting plants out of the house, moving pots out of the garage, pulling weeds and spreading more mulch. It was just a perfect day outside. Love the weather! We sat on the front patio after our work and then ate dinner on the patio. Tomorrow more yard work Loving it and things are shaping up!
Jo, dearly loved your family update. So very happy things are going well for Michael and Christine.
Sandi, Sandi, Sandi! Just died when I read your post, knew and felt your panic. Glad it all worked out well. Anyone of us could have done it....we are human!! :)
Lori, prayers for Annie, Kate, and family. So, very sad.
anxiously awaiting WOOD THRUSH! Thinking I won't hear one here. No woods for about 200 yards or so, and not a big, uninterrupted patch. But at the park....I'm SURE they'll be there!
Heard my first one last year the day Lynn passed....
Lovely, Lolly....
Our Perpetual Sunshine ☼
Hoping for all things Positive
with Jack in the morning.....
will be watching for your posts....
Hoping to see Wanda post about
the Special Sunday Family Fun
Day today.....
Okay, bye bye from here for
awhile....
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Good evening,
Know I have missed some posts--
Did see the one about the eagles and the ospreys at Paula's. Wow! That would have been fantastic to watch.
Belated happy birthday to Jordyn.
Yay, Judie is winding down the school year.
Thank goodness for scanning and e-mailing, Sandi. In my very early years of teaching, I once left my grade book at my mother's house.
I knew it was in the drawer of the nightstand, so I just did not mention it to her because I had planned to be there again the following weekend and could do without it for a week.
She discovered it, thought it was an emergency, gave it to a friend to mail who sent it book rate. It was weeks before I saw that grade book again. Had already told my supervisor it was gone when it showed up in a battered package. Lord only knows where it had gone through all of that time.
MAGPIE: i found an extra small (18 inches) that works well....thanks though! :) (((hugs))))
NX has come to the Fredericksburg area!!
Zach story......Got a phone csll this afternoon on my cell phone. Did not recognize the number but knew it was Dallas. It was Zacharooski! "Hey", he said. "I'm at my office and I've got a problem. Remember that Disney program we did? Well, I want to do it but my mouse won't work." I knew he was at Michael's office. So we discussed getting the moust to work, but asked why his Dad could not help him. He was apparently out of his office at the moment. I told him I could not help him because I was so far away and we talked about his not being able to see me from the office windows. (Two walls of floor to ceiling glass, corner office on the 44th floor.) In the background at one point I heard Michael ask who he was talking to and Michael laughed. He then told me his Dad would help him and goodbye. He hung up but did tell me he loved me. Love my Zacharooski...personality plus!!
Yes, NX from the Norfolk Gardens has come to visit us. She is in Stafford County.
Love your Zach story, Lolly.
Getting used to it really. I have 18.5 hrs ot in in this week and last two
Will have to check out the song of the wood thrush, Lynne. Very touching about your first hearing one the day our Lynn passed.

need to wind down and get to bed. Monday comes early.
Have a good night and prayers for all!
MARGY. YES in regards C/A. I commented on some picture changes she made to her FB page and she let me know the story behind the blooming cut branches. I see her on FB when she likes a page and when she changes things. NOT OFTEN just enough to let me feel she is alright. Her sight is a problem so she does not post often on blog or FB. Gracious and Fine Lady she is.
Very talented too.
Wow, Carolyn. That is a lot of overtime.
got to my blog Shirley, on the main page there is an audio of it!

Please pardon the double post. Got some kind of error message and was surprised it posted at all, then there it was in duplicate.
NO NOT MY BLOG! My profile, I meant! Scroll down a little to AUDIO CLIP
Well, the sandperson got me first. Woke me up though trying to pack his travel bag. Said he saw Margy's request and will make a late visit to Martinsburg.
Saw earlier Jo's update on the family Lennox. Thank you, Jo. Just been wondering about everyone.
Will read back in the morning. Headed back to the pillows.
Restful sleep for all.
Well, Jewels...carve out something SPECIAL for yourself with that
overtime...
Hoda, Thank You! CarolAnne is one very special lady...Please let her know I send my fondest regards...
There was a time, Jewels...
quite awhile back in my younger days...when I worked 18.5 hours in one day....
only 10.5 was overtime...LOL....
Well, Lynne, I have been having fun visiting your blog. It is impressive. Happened to notice lots of people I know there, and some I am related to.
Oh yes, Lolly....
fun post about your phone call
from your Zacharooski !
okay, bubbles are brewing...
xo
Shirley, I ran out of picture space last year and haven't added to it in all this time. I think it's about 2 or 3 dollars a month for more space. I didn't want to get rid of anything that I had worked so hard on to make more room!
ZACK and HUNTER....these guys make for the best funny stories!
Been lost and wandering around on Lynne's blog. Love the pictures and it made me very "homesick" to see all of you!!!!
Found it, Lynne. Will have to listen for that song. Beautiful music.
Back form the beach...I'm lucky CBS is running so late...off to watch the Good Wife...bb during commercials!
Ha ha, forgot to post this an hour ago!
Yes, I agree with others--thanks for giving us an update on the Family Lennox, Jo. Glad that healing and good things are taking place.
Really very special to read about NX. God be with you little eagle!!
Thanks, Shirley for bringing the story to us.
Pip watch for Larry and Lucy!
Lolly, I think it was you who mentioned that Joseph had gotten a note from a girl with the request to "check here if you like me." Well, Kathryn found a note like that in Hunter's pocket, and a second one that requested that he "check here if you checked the first note."
He hadn't checked anything, but he had kept the notes.
Off to watch Mad Men...Sunday night is my TV night...
Oh, took some pics on my phone of today's boating adventure...will try to post tomorrow.
I haven't encountered any requests for money for posting pictures, but my blog is not nearly as creative as yours, Lynne. Yours is fantastic.
yes it is alot of ot. I am tired. our 4-12 shift has been insanely busy. I am h oping to get a tattoo with that money!! Or save it back to attach to when I get my new veh!!!
Looking forward to the pictures, Paula.
Oh, just love it, Shirley. Our boys are growing up.
They have a strong suspect of the Kaufman county murders.
Thanks Shirely....I guess I just assumed everyone has seen most of it. I think I will see for sure what the cost is. JudyE had the same thing happen. I like doing photo albums on FB, but I truly liked working on my blog much better!
OK now Hunter and the notes remind me of this really adorable George Strait song...
Check Yes or No
Need to wind down here. Will be busy this week as bridge is at my house on Wednesday night. I also have my last day of bowling on Tuesday morning, and need to finish up the mortgage refinancing. There was a call from the bank waiting for me in my phone messages and on my misplaced cell phone.
SED, everyone.
I did get to watch my TV show but instead of 9 it started at 10. Now I am closing down and will read your evening comments tomorrow morning.
Paula's has lots of Larry's fishing pictures on FB - Shirley you need o show Kathryn and Hunter the size of those babies - whoppers!@
I do hope they find that killer (or those killers) quickly, Lolly. Very scary situation.
Thinking of Kate sitting there with Annie. Prayers for all of us and our special needs. I love us...
Good night and God Bless you and your loved ones. ♥
Will have to do that, Jo.
They had fun, but did not bring any fish home this time. Kathryn nixed the idea Hunter had to bring home a frog he found, thank goodness. It was a big frog--I'm very happy it was left in its mountain home.
Prayers for Kate and Annie.
Cute about the Grand sons getting notes from girls...Bless them both.
Will do MARGY. C/A
We started putting Annie in the garage at night because of her yowling. She loves it! Tonight she was at the back door, yowling to be let into the garage.
So happy she likes it!
I am closing down for the evening. My eyes are tired..so time to shut them. Night all!
SED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prayers to all!!!! Have a good night! Time to shut down!!
Goodnight.
PRAYERS♥
Good Monday morning my eagle friends!!

Good morning!
Need to get Hunter going. Kathryn had to leave because there's a big back-up on I-95.
I see two eaglets snuggled nest to Momma Belle at our nest this morning.
GOOD MORNING EAGLEBUDS
Shhh the kids are sleeping I see Miss Belle is snuggled with them so cute
Good Monday Morning Eagle Family!!!
Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. I love you ALL!
Kate is calling at 8 this morning, so I'll get an update on Annie, but she emailed that she made it through the night. Kate thinks it should not be long now.
Wishing everyone a fine and wonderful day with joy in your heart and a smile on your face!
Wow, Hedgie and Shamrock have really grown! The nest looks all nice and fluffy.
Looks like an eagle just arrived with fluff.
Oh, I see the chicks are starting to get their pin feathers in!
Ma Belle it is.
She exited to the right...took a small nestover with her.
Parent next to the cup, kids are plotzed.
Good morning.
Looks as if the babes are awake and getting ready for another day.
Lori, thinking of Kate and Annie.
Lolly, Jack has our thoughts and support for the best report.

Hi Carolyn, it is difficult to remember a year ago but you know we are here for you.
Been trying to catch up.
Isla is in a terrific wind storm and getting buffed around this morning.
RTH nest has rain; Lily and Jewel have both dismantled their microphone casings; Ted and Lucky are not friends now; I think Ms. Kestrel has a third egg.
Hope Dana's eggs hatch for the kidlets to see.
Well, How Do You Do !
How do you all feel about a Fresh, Spanking Brand New Thread for the Day ??
Good Morning and SEE Ya' over there.
