Deggesty cherokee woman Good evening to everyone. Had a very enjoyable day today: my brother & I went to his grandson's first tee ball game of the year, and his team won, 11 to 8. Those little ones were sooo cute. After they won, had shook hands w/the opposing team, they got cupcakes. Have our Saturday Night Pizza Fest ready and on the warmer bar. Hope you all enjoy it; have a good evening, take care and keep safe. OH: Johnny, like your new avatar! That's a very good picture of you. And hope you and Katie have a safe trip. Thanks, Paula. If I had really thought about it, I could have made the change last year; I had thought people might be tired of looking at a dog. As to sideways pictures, a cousin I did not know I had until about a week ago, in Lancaster county, Virginia (where my father was born), sent me several pictures of family tombstones, asking for information; she had taken them with her I-Pad, and they were also turned sideways. Perhaps these new-fangled devices just can't get it right when it comes to transmitting pictures by e-mail. One question she had concerned a cross at the top of my grandfather's stone. I was able to tell her that it meant that he was a Confederate soldier (he was born in 1842), and I then remembered that when I was in the fourth grade, my class brought more flowers to school on Memorial Day than any other grammar school class, and we had the honor of taking all of the grammar school flowers to the cemetary (about a mile each way; the excursion seemed to take forever), and placing them on Confederate soldiers' graves. There was a separate competition for the high school (grades 7-12). Monday morning, Katie and I expect to leave at 3:30--when we board, we will head for our bedroom and get into our berths as quickly as we can.

Interesting Johnny; "Supposedly" and according to research done by my father and other members of family, my Family came from Culpepper County Virginia. I don't have any info. if any family members served in the Civil War, but all indications point towards some of them serving with G.W. at Valley Forge.
As was said before; Have a Safe & Enjoyable Trip!

Nice desk, console, etc.! Guess that means I have to go to Home Depot or Lowes to get lumber.
JoeKohHope everyone has their taxes all done.
Finished mine last night. Thought I was going to have to pay this year, so I was in no real hurry. Happily, I was wrong.
Would have broken even on state taxes, but the state wants to collect sales tax on all those out-of-state purchases for which we don't pay state sales tax. Their example even includes buying a book in another state and bringing it home... Probably not many people keep track of that kind of stuff, at least to that detail.
So I put in my fire/EMS exemption, and now they owe me...

Overspoor in the Netherlands is busy - making new deductions. We have 4 eggs in a water tower box and 3 in a tower box. All peregrines. Kestrel cam isn't available this year.
Also have a Kingfisher nest with a camera and one egg. They are burrowed into the mud banks of the canal and I have no clue how they managed to get a camera in there. But Mama fits just fine in there with room to spare. Watching for any more eggs.
The 4 egg nest - this is an older adult female and she has one chick. She is moving the others around and shaking them so much I am afraid she will have scrambled chicks when and if they hatch!
Something to do while I am doing paper work. And while I was typing this, she just shoved out another 1/2 of egg shell, so I think we are now 2 deductions.
Cold, windy and not very spring-like here in true midwest. Magnolia trees were just looking good and then this - probably no spring color this year, as per usual.

Anyone else have a body part to contribute...?
Windy - cold and nasty day! 2 more to go, too.
Blah!
It was snowing when Katie and I left the house about 2:30 yesterday morning, and it was sbnowing when we boarded the trai for Chicago--but not as hard as it was when Ricki and Ileft for Sacramento two years ago; I then had to stop from time to time and lift the two suitcases over the mound of snow each had piled up. Yesterday, we outran the snowfall by the time we started down the Front Range, and I do not recall any rain, even, today.
Mookie, it is just as well I did not invite you to come down and wave as we passed through Lincoln--I slept all the way across Nebraska, and Katie said that I did not hear the THREE different alarm sounds of her phone. How about Tuesday night, next week?
We will have to wake up earrrrly tomorrow morning, since we get off at Memphis at 6:29--and rent a car to drive to Bristol and back.
Johnny
Walt, I do not what the site is; you may be able to find it by searching; a few weeks ago I found a site that can be used to see if any of your relatives did serve in the War for Southern Independence (I even plugged some of Ricki's family's names in, and they came up in the probably appropriate states (Ohio and Pennsylvania). I did know what regiment my grandfather and his brother were in, and found them (I also found reference to a book that was solely about their regiment, and bought it). If there were any men of military service age in your family, you may be able to track them down. I, of course , never saw my father's father (he died in 1926), but I did know that he was in the Army of Northern Virginia (as it was known after the Seven Days' Battle).
BOC, that certainly looks like a magnificent desk; it reminds me somewhat of the desk I made for Ricki so her writing surface would not shake when she had to erase something (she was using half of a hollow core door that was supported by screw-on legs). Not having access to 42" wide boards, I cut a sheet of mahogany veneered plywood down to 42' by 78", built a frame of 2x6's and one 2x4 to support it, and used 4x4's for the legs. It does not shake at all. The movers did not complain of the weight when they brought it up to where Katie and I now live.
Johnny - knowing the timing of Amtrak thru here - and if you are awake - just wave. There isn't much to see in the dark and quiet, so get your beauty sleep.
Good Evening...kinda late for this'un but oh well....
Had actually quite a bit of sun today...after the dull start...and rain/drizzle/mizzle we got this morning..
Going to be somewhat busy tomorrow...staff meeting pretty well all day....oh joy...
Anyway see you all later!!
John...yeah...these desks are something to behold...and sturdy!! This one is going to have an extended wing on either side so that my keyboards...two MIDI keyboards have sliding shelf to sit on when not in use...
Breakfast is set.Chores and errands later.guessers still calling for rain.maybe some thunderboomers today as well.Mookie i would wave because we know no matter what you usually keep one eye open.
Nice day, if cool. Plenty of sun, I just wish it would warm up by 25-30 degrees.
Lots to do. Better get to it...
Mutt, CW, and Sarah - DUCK!

Yeah, and hopefully it will be cleared out for the "Thunder Air Show& Fireworks on Sat.
[I've got to post a picture of our "newest resident"; back in Jan., someone put about a 3 month old kitty on our porch.......long story short, he got brought in and adopted. he helps me type..and is probably better than me.]
breakfast is all set.going to Matt's school this afternoon to help out.hopefully the weather holds off so we can go outside.Gussers say 1-3 inches of rain possible.The swamp will be full again.Tonight is friday.
Joe - you won't get all the rain, since we wrung some out before passing it along. Looks like we will wring out some snow, too - just a little - before we pass that along.
Cold, blah day. So I am going to go be cold and blah.
Moo....

Afternoon all. Just got back in from picking Allie up at the bus stop. Sunny and warm, with a good breeze blowing. Later tonight, as the cold front moves in, between 9 & 10, is when we have the potential for some rain, hail, winds gusting 30 to 40 mph or more.
Think when my sil gets home later this afternoon, I'll see if she'll run me to the nearest Walgreen's, so I can buy one of their $30 weather radios, so we'll know what's going on tonight. Believe it has a cord on it, but also runs on batteries, in case power goes out.
I'll also look into buying a e-cigarette, to help me get off cigarettes. Been thinking about that for a couple of months. SIL got one last week. She was surprised, when she "lit" it up, that a plume of 'smoke' came out when she puffed on it. I told her it was just water vapor.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care, keep safe, and talk with you all later.
Looks like Carl is out of the deluge now, although they're probably still dealing with the leftovers.
I think the Gulf of Mexico is keeping this storm system well-stocked with moisture.
We might see some weather out of this system, but it appears most of it will stay to our south. The big cities of the northeast corridor are in for it, though.
Just working on this project and that, while occasionally checking in on the disaster in Texas. Lunch is done. Back to work.
Mookie Johnny - knowing the timing of Amtrak thru here - and if you are awake - just wave. There isn't much to see in the dark and quiet, so get your beauty sleep.
Rain was forecast for the Chattanooga area today,but we have not seen any since we arrived. Perhaps tomorrow?
We stopped in Lynchburg, Tennessee on the way here, and walked around the main industry's visitor center. We did not take a tour of the manufacturing plant because no samples are given--the county is dry. We saw that Jack Daniel began running the business when he was about nine years old, having learned enough from his uncle, who was also a minister--his uncle was persuaded that he should not be combining the two types of work.
Mookie Joe - you won't get all the rain, since we wrung some out before passing it along. Looks like we will wring out some snow, too - just a little - before we pass that along. Cold, blah day. So I am going to go be cold and blah. Moo....
Here we just go....meh. Weather being what it is....meh
breakfast is all set.mother nature still raining this morning.Chores to do.Library tomorrow with our niece.Have a good friday everyone.
Weather here is kinda dull and rainy...current temperature is our high of 60F going down to...guess...the temperature of 28F with a chance of...snow.......back to winter...
Yesterday I got to mow our hayfield..I mean lawn and clean thatch from our border/perennial gardens and clean some remaining trash from the trees that fell...next on list is to replace tile on kitchen floor...sigh....
Have a good'un!!
Good Friday morning everyone. My, what a difference a day makes! Our high yesterday was 83 degrees; this morning, we had a low of 46, and our high this afternoon will be 50 degrees F. I'm back in sweat pants & a fleece long sleeve top. Allie woke me up at 2:15 this morning, wanting a drink of milk in her sippy cup. Was raining pretty good then. When I woke back up just before 6 a.m., and looked out the back door 45 minutes later, noticed that the winds last night had knocked over the patio table (wrought iron) and the umbrella in its center. That about all I see, as far as 'wind' damage goes.
Heard that one of the Marathon Bombers was shot and died after they got him to the hospital overnight. Sounds like the other one is still on the loose, and the authorities are telling everyone to stay in their homes until he is captured. Even the colleges and schools are closed, and they're urging businesses to not open up today. And then all that is going on down in West, TX.
Joe, thanks for breakfast this morning.
Everyone have a good day, take care, keep as safe as possible, and see you all later, hopefully.
going to scrape off the windows to go to town this morning.niece has to work at a branch library today.will go see what csx is up to afterwards.Breakfast is all set.
