Have I ever mentioned how much I love CBS Sunday Morning? (lol) This Sunday's offerings:
*History of the G.I. Bill (if only it still worked for today's Vets the way it was designed during WWII!)
*Bio and video clips of Judy Garland (died 39 yrs ago today!)
*Mo Rocca with clips from PBS's 'Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me' (GREAT weekly news quiz/game show on radio!)
*The Best Music for Summer 2008 (I definitely need to check out Lizz Wright!)
*'Best in Show' about all the dogs performing on Broadway from 'Annie' to 'Legally Blonde'.
(Did you know they ALL came from New York's Animal Shelter?)
*The Longest Day (about Summer Solstice)
*Blowin'in the Wind (about Texas wind turbines 'fueling' controversy and the economy)
*'The Money Lady' ~~ Suzy Orman profile (Did you know she was poor, from the southside of Chicago before moving on up to Berkeley and her high $8-figure multi-faceted career in SF with life partner, Kathy Travis?)
*Editorial about Scott McClellan's tell-all book and P.R. people in Journalism
*'Step by Step' about Bertie Bowman, 70-something black man, one of fourteen kids, who in 1944 hopped a train to Washington, DC and swept the steps of the Capitol for $2/week, and has now written a book about all his years since, on the 'inside'.
*Closing nature scene, this week of the seals and gulls off the San Francisco Coast.....I learn so much every Sunday while being so well entertained. The only thing better would be if they'd expand it to at least three hours. THE BEST (imho) 90 minutes on TV!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SO...we all miss our favorite shows during the Summer. (Un)Reality programming is SO pitiful. The Stanley Cup has been won, Tiger is sadly out for the season...Have YOU discovered any must-see TV we might have missed? If so, PLEASE SHARE!
First! Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Owls!!
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to wish you all a terrific Tuesday.
Missing u all bunches.
Thank you all so very much for all the wonderful letters and comments.
They touched my heart in ways words can't express.
Hope to be back soon for playtime.
Lots of Love n Hugs xox
Congrats on being the early Owl LynnD!!
ReplyDeleteTy for todays blog Bon.
I don't watch alot of TV in the summer.I usually use that time to catch up on reading. I have fallen behind on my reading so I have tons of books to choose from this summer.
:o)
Morning Glories!
ReplyDeleteYay lovey posted! Sending you many (((Hugs))) and kisses! I hope you come back to play soon!
Bon I used to watch CBS Sunday Morning all the time. But I have not watched in about a year. I honestly don't know why. Maybe because I spend my mornings in the nest. LOL
I will have to check it out again.
I have nothing new to report as you all know we have cable after 10years so all of the shows are pretty much new to me and I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out what to watch.
Good morning everyone!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1st LynnD!
Bonnie the only thing I watch on Sunday morning is 2 1/2 hrs of Coronation Street. However, CBS Sunday Morning does sound like the type of show I would watch.
The only thing I am watching on TV now is the Euro Soccor Championship, Wimbledon tennis (I find all the grunting and groaning by the players very distracting though) and some reality shows. Some channels are showing more movies so I can catch some that I have missed. Other than that I spend my time on the computer.
Good morning Lovey, welcome back!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is served!

Good morning!
ReplyDeleteLynn is first again, you super early bird!! Congrats!
Hi Lovey! Good to see you again!
Thanx for the good food Shirley :) Glad to see MEK's new blender is getting used so much already!
On Sunday mornings I watch Good Morning America (as I do every other day of the week).
We love reality shows in this house, and I watch Lifetime and Animal Planet too.
Other faves are Flip That House and Little People Big World.
It is still smoky outside, you wouldn't know it's summer since there is no blue sky.
Have a nice day!
Good Morning All Owls, coming, going and staying. Congrats Lynn on 1st.
ReplyDeleteI am rushing around helping my visitor get fed, packed and off to the ferry. Her plane for Japan doesn't leave until tomorrow but it leaves from Vancouver so she will spend the night there. I will quickly read the blog and be back later.
Shirley - I grabbed a Slim Fast. Thanks for thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteWe hardly watch any tv on the weekend. Maybe a movie here or there. I do like Antiques Roadshow Sunday at 7pm. A woman had the most beautiful diamond ring last Sunday. The guy told her it had been made in Belgium I think. Anyway it was made in 1700 something! Can you imagine?! It had been given to her grandmother who's finace was from there. He died I think in a war, so the grandmother went to visit his family. They gave her the ring and told her if she had married their son she would have become a countess. So this ring had been in the family for close to 200 years!
ReplyDeleteI will be here on and off today, but then after 6pm I wont be back until Monday. I'm headed to the beach. Everyone is already there. I decided to work yesterday and today instead of taking my last 2 vaca days. Usually we always take these trips Wed or Thurs thru Sunday, but Jody coujld not find a place at the beach to book for the weekend. But now that gas prices are so horrible, most of the campgrounds have become open. Oh well. Today is really the only full day that I am missing. Yesterday was just getting every one there and set up.
I will be back later today though. Work should be pretty slow and boring.
**now watch....all hell will break loose at work today**
East Bay: The sky looks a little murky down here, too. :(
ReplyDeleteShirley: That's it for me, too... Wimbledon! Love it! Some interesting story lines this year:
Men: Which of the big three will win? Can "The Joker" or "The Bull" dethrone the Fed Express? And what about Frank Dankevic, the first Canadian to get past the first round since, well, I don't know when!
Women: Can Ana Ivanovic pull off the rare French-Wimbledon double? Will the Williams sisters bounce back from their French debacle? And what about Maria Sharapova?
And how will my FAVORITE Eastern European tennis phenom, Ivana Fuckyaova, fare?
Stay tuned... Wimbledon is on every day all day now, and in HD for the first time!
Shirley - I grabbed a Slim Fast. Thanks for thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been watching any summer T.V. I have been engrossed in T.V. D.V.D.'s. When Zona sends me "Grey's Anatomy" I should have enough to watch the rest of the summer.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who the "Beauty of the Day" is so I will wait until I get back on the computer this afternoon.
Have a great Tuesday everyone.
15
ReplyDeleteUsually on Sunday morning our TV is set to the Disney Channel.
ReplyDeleteHowever, Bonnie, I just might put my foot down and check out your favorite the CBS Morning Show!
I have no idea about today's owl, I will wait for Tina's prediction.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Hooters!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1st lynn
LOVEY!!!!!!!!!! Hi!!!
I'm back (no shit sherlock).
Vacation was wonderful, relaxing, beautiful weather, tons of fun and then I woke up this morning and reality hit me smack in the face! Oh well.
I missed you all. I read the blogs when I got home last night but no time for comments. As ususal the blogs were fantastic.
Hope everyone is well- lots to do in the office today, but will try to get back on later.
BarbWa: Love Antiques Roadshow! I just discovered the Canadian Roadshow too! Oh and can I go to the beach with you please, please??? Just shove me in the trunk I will be happy! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteShirley: I am trying to get back into Coronation Street used to watch it ten years ago. There are so many new people that I am trying to decifer what has happened in all that time. I was tickled pink to find it on CBUT. Do you know if they play East Enders to?
Tinka: Wishing your girl a very safe trip home.
I am guessing Amicus. I have gotten most of these wrong! LOL
Iteach: Imagine the Disney channel on Sundays in your home. Is Mr. Iteach a Hannah Montana Fan? LOL Or is it the Suite Life of Zack and Cody? ROFLMAO shhhhh sometimes I watch the Disney Channel for some wholesome relief.
Whabby: I just can't get into sports on TV. Love to watch live but it loses something on the screen to me.
bon'o, ty for the blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1st lynnd!
Good morning lovey, shirley, ebj, tinka, barb, whabbear and iteach.
I don't have much to say about tv shows.
EBJ, sorry I read your blog about dreams too late. Love talking about dreams. I took a dream class at the community college and it was taught by a phd in sleep. Our dreams help us sort out problems in our lives.
A repetitive dream might mean you have the same problem over and over, but probably it is a different problem. Someone talked about going back into a dream.
I learned in that class to stay in my dream no matter how dreadful it got. We can all do this. I had a dream from childhood many times where waves were so high and wiping out the beach. I made myself sleep thru it and when the wave came on the beach I realized I was behind glass. I never had that dream again. At least 15 yrs. ago.
Your dream is a continuation of your day. Your brain keeps thinking even though you body is asleep.
Have a great day owls!!
Wahoo our Goldie is back!!! I was just wondering when we would see your owl again! Missed you! (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteGood morning Owls! Wishing you all a day filled with yellow!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, Bono!
Anybody watching "My Boys" on TBS (on E channel in Canada)? That's always my favourite summer show!
Off to my last school visit of the school year! Three more days and summer really begins!
Yeah!! VIG is going to start summer vacation!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back Goldie & Lovey!
ReplyDeleteOff to play legos!
Welcome back, Goldie! Check out the comments over on Rossblog... there a couple of people who have expressed a desire to meet you (a desire I share)!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Everyone!!
ReplyDeleteLynn, congrat's on First!
Shirley, Thanks for breakfast. Love the watermelon boat.
Lovey!!!!!!! How Wonderful to see you here!!! muuuahhhh!!!
Goldie! Welcome back from vaca..
I hope you're all having a wonderful day!
My guess on the lovely owl...Iteach!
xoxoxox
Good Morning Nestmates!
ReplyDeleteLynnD's first, Lovey's posting, Goldie's back, Mary/MI's on her way home, Tinka survived her visitor, Iteach is asserting her authority,EBJ's enjoying Oregon's small farm family (pun intended, but respectfully), Bear has Ivana, BarbWa's about to get her beach on, GM is here, VIG's almost on Summer Vacay and Shirley brought gingerbread pancakes (I'll have mine with apple butter--yummo). The day is off to a good start!
I committed to my 'Who's This Owl' first guess on gmail @ 7:54 a.m., but I try to wait until later each day to embarrass myself with my oh-so-wrongness! Plus, I'm already second-guessing my choice.
On the TV TOTD: I see there are some interesting new programs coming on Food Network in July, and my Favorite traveler (Samantha Brown) has a new show coming on The Travel Channel. I'm on the lookout for some ROFL comedy. Any hints?
I think the reason I make CBS Sunday Morning 'appointment TV' every Sunday is it's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates or Christmas morning packages. You never know what you'll get, but it NEVER disappoints.
Hope the smoke clears for you in California...miss you, Joey...more hugs to J/L. Good day wishes, everyone!
TOP THIRTY!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the mystery night owl is Kirk Cameron in drag!
ReplyDeleteMEK: Disappointing. You usually do better than that. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning...
Lynn D, Congrats on FIRST
LOVEY - WELCOME BACK!!! you have been EXTREMELY missed.
Waving hi to Lynn D, Lovey, Shirley, EBJ, Tinka, Barb in WA, Whabby, Iteach, Goldie, Grandma Moses, VIG, Birdee, and Bono.
Bono - great blog today - sadly, there really isn't anything on tv during the summer - hence me watching that damn Bachlorette Show... we watch alot of Baseball, I watch Animal cop shows on Animal Planet and try to find movies on the movie channel that we haven't seen.......... let me think about other things we watch..... and I'll be back...
Goldie - welcome back..
Barb in WA - have fun at the beach..
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
Whabby - LOL - I had a rough night - SO, I'm a little behind this a.m...
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone!
ReplyDeleteBarb in Wa: Have fun at the beach!! Take lots of pictures.
Goldie: Glad you had a great vacation! I understand about the coming back part..blah!
Congrats on first lynnd
tink: I hope that you had a nice visit and that you are doing good. Can't wait till you can come back more and chat.
Whabby!!! - omg, Kirk Cameron in drag?? really?
I am afraid to guess on senior pic, I just am not that good at it and would always be wrong. I know, lame excuse.
Well, back to in a little bit, just home for lunchy wunchy. :)
Before I see any guess's .. I am going to say this beauty is Iteach!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLynnD... Congrats on 1st...
LOVEY IS IN THE NEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MissedYou!!!!
Need to read and catch up...
have a great day...
Good afternoon, owls! Welcome back, Lovey and Goldie!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch tv as much in the summer, although I do watch the Bachelorette and I'm going to watch that crazy Japanese obstacle course show tonight to see if it's as funny as the real one! I do a lot more reading the summer.
I am positive that today's owl is K-Girl!! I think it looks just like her! I can't believe I'm the only one who sees that--LOL!! (I guess that means I'm wrong again.)
Have a good day!
I just got caught up on my Today Show clips since I missed so much this a.m....
ReplyDeleteanyway - tomorrow is the BIG Today Show throws a wedding..
For the record - I only missed TWO of the voting so far - First, the couple - LOL - at least the couple I was voting for came in second - but this couple has grown on me - and I missed the bridesmaid dress - I liked the green one - not the pink that won..
ANd - for the honeymoon - I voted for Italy - we'll find out tomorrow if I am correct on that.
can you tell how BORED I am... or I guess - better than that - what I find to do so that I can procrastinate on other things!! LOL
Hey IBB - :-)
Oops, forgot to say that I love Army Wives on Sunday nights on Lifetime. Does anyone else watch that??
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday Owls.
ReplyDeleteLynnD: Congrats on being the early bird again.
Bon'O: We used to watch Good Morning years ago when Charles Kurault (sp?) hosted, but I haven't watched it in years. I think it is on while I am at church, but I think I'll start TiVoing it. I had forgotten about how much we enjoyed it. Thanks for the reminder.
Lovey is back in the nest! Great to see you.
Shirley: Thanks for breaky. I love multi-grain toast and I'll have some fruit, too. I thought I heard someone outside early this morning. I hope the smoky flowers don't stink up the nest.
EBJ: I watch Flip That House too. And I watch a lot of HGTV.
Tinks: I hope your visitor has a safe trip home.
Barbwa: I wanna go to the beach too, but it's not gonna happen this year. Have fun.
Bear: Ivana? Hmmmmmm, you think she can stay on top? (was that a test to see who is paying attention?)
Iteach: I so remember the days when children's programming was our TV fare.
Goldie: So glad you didn't get washed away on your vaca.
VIG: Summer vaca is finally here for you so you can play with us more.
MEK: I hope you are feeling better today. Maybe a smoothie will help.
Sandie: I watch Army wives too. Love that show.
Waving a wing at Birdee, IBB, Bebbie and all who land after me.
oh man......stinky flyer guy was particularly stinky today. literally took my breath away. i now have the door open and i sprayed my hawaiian ginger all over. unfortunately i can still smell him. gawd. the smell even made me queasy. i feel bad that this guy smells so horribel to me, but come on dude....use some soap and wash your clothes! and stop living in an ashtray!
ReplyDeleteok...sorry....but geeze.....
ok...i know how to spell horrible...it was a typo....
ReplyDeletei think everyone should just pile into planes and cars and join me at the beach!!!! it's gonna be a hot week there! and there are beaver in the campground! that should be more of an incentive! well...except for bear...i don't think he likes beaver.
ReplyDeleteheh heh...now i feel dirty for even typing that.....
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Owls!
ReplyDeleteBonO: Was the Best in Show segment to promote Bill Berloni's new book, Broadway Tails? I bought it, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. What little I already know about his story and the stories of the rescue dogs he has trained is amazing though! I'm in awe of him as a trainer and a compassionate human being!
I have no idea who our mystery Owl is today, but that should come as no big surprise since I've rarely gotten any of them right. ;)
Lynn: My senior pics are on MySpace.
Waving HI to everyone!
Have a terrific Tuesday! :)
Hey BON!!! Great blog.....I don't normally get to watch tv on Sunday mornings......until recently, I worked every weekend. I'll have take a look at CBS Sunday Morning.....sounds just like something I'd like.
ReplyDeleteLOVEY - So great to see you in the nest today!!!
GOLDIE - Welcome back!!! So glad you had a good vacation. Can't wait to see pics of the grandkids!!!
ITEACH......I would recognize you anywhere!!!
I think I've shared this before...but my favorite shows are on Bravo TV......Top Chef and Project Runway are two of my fav's!!! Top Chef just crowned their newest one.....Stephanie won....the first woman to win Top Chef!!! They just had their reunion show on last week and the favorite saying from this season (which you can order on a t-shirt) is "I have a culinary boner"!!! I don't know....just made me laugh!!! Project Runway will be starting next month.....I luv Tim "Make it work" Gunn!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Owls! I just returned from a wonderful little resort town on the Columbia River called Crescent Bar. (There are photos on my MS page.) I came home relaxed, well rested... and sunburned. And I have that skin that isn't supposed to burn easily, so it was BAD! Oh yes, to top it off, we got eaten alive by mosquitos...but it was worth it!!
ReplyDeleteI try to keep the TV off during the summer. Trying to set an example for the kids. However, I love to play the digital music thru the TV. In the evening I watch my talk shows that I recorded during the day while I was working. I love DVR and wonder how I ever lived without it.
OK, I just remembered two things:
ReplyDeleteThe image of Barb and beaver on the beach just has me cracking up!
...and there IS a show I am planning to watch. I think it is called Shear Genius, but it is one of those reality shows where they compete to see who is the best hair stylist. Pure fluff, but fun.
And you would be disappointed here Carol.... ALL of the weekend versions of the network morning shows are on at about 5AM and not shown during "morning prime time" because we watch local news. I am a big fan of the Today Show, but you would think that everyone lives in NYC the way they go on.
left, left, left, right, left!!!
ReplyDeleteleft, left, left, right, left!!!
ReplyDelete50!!!!
ReplyDeleteglad i could make you laugh g!!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO - barbara - you SHOULD feel nasty talking about your beaver like that!!
ReplyDeleteSacBarb and EBJ - hope the air has cleared up a little bit for you guys..
Hey gang back from food pickup!
ReplyDeleteAmicus I know your pic is on MS but I figure I have a losing track record so I would just throw your name out there again! LOL
I hope the smoke is going away for all of you in Cali! I have been watching reports off and on and it is going to be a scary fire season. Also worried about the crops down there. With the water shortage.
I have to go get some laundry done and some dishes.
Hey MEK! It's not MY beaver I'm talking about! Just random wild ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, for all the suggestions about Summer TV. Next, let's tackle our Summer Reading Lists!
ReplyDeleteAmicus~Why am I not surprised that you would have the book, Broadway Tails. Dogs AND Broadway in ONE book!
Barb in WA~lol @ "Stinky Flyer Guy". We had a service that came every Saturday night to clean and wax our floors. The guy smelled like a full ash tray and used a rotary power sweeper/buffer that picked up all the dust-bunnies and blew them onto our desktops. Gawd, how I miss working (NOT!).
Glynis~Loved your pics from Crescent Bar. I didn't mention in my photo comment that we 'borrowed' a tiny sapling from there on a camping trip years ago. It's now a 20-footer in the center of my front yard!
Heading back out to enjoy the perfect day...bbl
Hey Bon'O, I've got lots of good books to recommend if you want. I'm a big reader. I can send to your myspace unless others want all that on the blog.
ReplyDeletei keep forgetting to say that i'm stumped again with our photo today! i'm glad we got another one...i thought Eunice or whoever the heck that was, was the last one!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete3 MORE HOURS AND I'M OFF TO THE BEACH!!!!
dang it.....i need to pay attention to what i'm doing!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say welcome back to ♥lovey♥ and goldie!!!!
barbwa, have a wonderful time at the beach!!
ReplyDeleteBonO,
ReplyDeleteLOL! So true! :) I wasn't sure if that was a "yes" to my question though so I just went to the CBS Sunday Morning website to find out if the segment was about his book, and I'm so happy I did.
Their website has an article about Berloni and his dogs, plus 3 videos. I got all teary-eyed at the end of the 3rd video when Bill said the dogs won't have to worry about being hurt or abused again, and the Beagle jumped up on the interviewer as if to say, "See how happy I am!" :)
The second video has dogs, Broadway, AND Michael Ball. I feel like I've died and gone to heaven! ;)
Thanks for mentioning it on your blog today!
BarbWA: Have a wonderful time at the beach!
thanks guys! i will hahve a great time! today the guys went crabbing, but we heard the crabbing was bad right now. so we will see if there is fresh crab for me to eat over the campfire when i get there tonight! and then tomorrow we get up really early and drive down the coast to i think florence. we are taking a dune buggy ride! it's one of those huge dune buggies that hold a lot of people. that is gonna be a blast! and then thursday the boys, minus robert, are going ocean fishing. the last time robert went he puked his guts out, so he sworn to never go again. we it will the girls, and robert, all day shopping in depot bay, or wherever we end up!
ReplyDeleteOK, crabs on the fire and beavers on the beach. I am thinking that Barb is going to have more fun than I could ever imagine. Ever!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the beach Barb!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Goldie and Lovey!
Glynis I would like to be your friend. Please add me. You can find me on any of the owls' MS pages.
ReplyDeleteglynis.....i'm gonna have a ton of fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amicus~Glad I could help make your day!
ReplyDeleteBarbWA~The dune buggy rides ARE a blast. (Watch out for sandboarders!) and they're right next to our favorite family camping spot @ Honeyman State Park. There's a great lake on the eastside of the highway, too, if it's hot and you want to swim. Watch out for sandboarders! Have you shopped Old Town Florence? There's always Lincoln City Outlet Mall, too.
LynnD You're always so happy to be first. It makes me smile. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBon Great blog today! I don't know what I watch in the summer. Not much, really. I enjoy The View in the morning and Ellen in the afternoon. At night I probably migrate more towards HBO and Showtime. Tonight the new Wipeout show starts. I went to school with the guys in the Surfaris who played the song "Wipeout". I sure hope they get royalties because I hear that tune used alot.
I will be absolutely shocked if the darling grad today is not ITEACH!!!!
Whabbear Is Ivana your alter ego on the court? LMAO!
Barbwa The beavers have crabs? LMAO!
Lovey and Goldie Glad you are back! Doing Happy Dance!!!!
(((HUGS))) and big thank yous to all of you for your kind words about the passing of my cat. Jodi Thank you for the thoughtful phone call. (((HUGS)))
Today is a better day.
just_lin....that cracks me up the way you asked glynis to be your friend~
ReplyDeleteit sounds like you're in elementary school...."will you be my friend?"
i know that she will LOVE to be your friend!
bon....we have stayed at jesse honeyman before. beautiful campground....just full of loud atv'ers
ReplyDeleteDid I mention watch out for sandboarders? :-)
ReplyDeleteSandie~Forgot to mention that I'd welcome your reading list. I can ALWAYS use more books to never finish!
ReplyDeletebon...we are not driving the buggie. we rented the driver too!
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone! Hot here..not going to mention that though. ;)
ReplyDeleteBON'O: I don't watch much summer TV...I like the show on MTV "America's Best Dance crew". My sister's FAVORITE show is CBS Sunday Morning. She raves about it. I've seen it a few times and it is always interesting.
LYNND: Congrats on FIRST you fast M&M you. ;)
LOVEY!!!!! Great to see you!
SHIRLEY: Missed breakfast again, one day could you consider dinner?? Oh wait..there's some smoothies left over..I'll have one of those!! :)
EBJ: I always catch sad stuff on Animal Planet..so I rarely watch. I do like that show where they explain each breed of dog though.
TINKA: Hi MamaTink!! I hope you are having a wonderful, restful afternoon!!
BARB/WA: I like Antiques Roadshow too. Have fun at the beach..and CONGRATS on 69!
WHABBEAR!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Zona Waving a wing at you. You did know Arizona was hot, right?
i was 69??? i had no idea!
ReplyDeletewow....crabs, beavers and a 69!!!! my week is starting off great!
Barbara have fun at the beach!!!
ReplyDeleteBarbwa Please ask Glynis for me about adding me as a friend in case she doesn't see my post. Thanks. (It is like elementary school, isn't it? Glynis has very high standards for her friends. I think I have to be a magician and know 10 languages, or something.)
ReplyDeleteLynnD~ congrats on first~
ReplyDeleteLovey~ yay! so glad you are back~
Shirley~ love your sense of humor~
Goldie~ glad you are back~ I could use a brownie~
Zona~ hey babe~ use the phone today? :)~
iteach~ don't you love it when the owner of the grad pic wants to wait for me to guess? I just don't get why you people don't recognize yourselves~ :D
thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers for Sean and my son~ Today was Sean's funeral. It is just so wrong to have to see parents bury their child. The mass was beautiful, though and the Bishop was there.
As for Summer TV....HELLO PEOPLE!!! Why hasn't anyone mentioned NASCAR????!!!! And the Closer?!!!! :)~
Tina Oh, yeah....I LOVE The Closer!
ReplyDeleteHi Goldie! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to guess today's owl, so I will guess Iteach!!! :)
I HOPE I guess it right today!
BarbWa have a fabulous time at the beach! I'm jealous.

ReplyDeleteI'm am off to the beach! I have email access, and might have MS if we find some free wifi!
If not....I will get all caught up on Monday! Don't have any parties or anything while I'm away!!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMEK Thanks. Since I was not being pushed or shoved I was able to march in my best tall and proud fashion.
ReplyDeleteJ/L~ I don't know about that statement: I held a march and nobody came.
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ~ :)~
Tina Then you're doing something besides marching! LOL
ReplyDeleteTina And I just hope you're doing it on the naughty mat.
ReplyDeletelol j/l~ but i think i need to change my pic of I'm going to be talking like this....can't have dad around~
ReplyDeletethere we go~
ReplyDeleteTina Really! That's no way to behave in front of Dad.
ReplyDeleteTina You probably have pencils, staplers and slide rules rolled up in that hair.
ReplyDeleteTina: Good to see you back in the nest. So sorry the last few days have been so difficult for your son and you. It is so sad.
ReplyDeleteZona: What a surprise I got in the mail today. Where ever did you get that picture? I'm glad to see that you are using your crafting skills. Thank you so much.
CA is still burning and the air here is still yucky. It does make for beautiful sunsets though.
EBJ: I hope you were able to take advantage of the lower gas price. If that happened here, it would be my luck that I just filled up somewhere else.
Glynis: I would love to see your pics too, but I can't get through the steel gates to request you as a friend. :(
Hey HO's!!! Just got back from Grandma's party......she was so darn cute!!! When the great grandkids sang as asked "how old are you?"......she said 39!!! Crap....that can't be right....that would make her 3 years younger than me!!!
ReplyDeleteOwl has been revealed, and a amazing owl she is
ReplyDeletebrb..
ZONA - Thanks again for the beautiful card!!! Good thing you didn't get the pic of the sign that says....the village idiot lives here and her name is JODI!!! :p
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note to let you know I am home...pooped, but home. The flight was smooth & I was seated next to a cute Italian gentleman who was going to Detroit. Mamma mia!!
ReplyDeleteI missed all of you and will pop back in after I am well rested.
MUAH to all of you XOXOXO, Mary
TINA: I am glad to see you took your dad's picture off while you are being naughty. I remember once when I had to tell you to quit talking naughty when you had the Pope's picture as your avatar!! It just didn't seem right...
ReplyDeleteGood blog, Bono. I end up using my DVR and not watching some of the shows during the winter and then it gives me some summer TV. I also like America's Got Talent, Nashville Star and of course, The Bachlorette and I pick Jason! I do like it with the 25 guys better than the women as they sure get along much better and not so dang whiny!!
Glad you had a good vacation GOLDIE. How were those perfect grandchildren?
Hi LOVEY: We missed you a lot. Hope to see you posting more each day!
SHIRLEY: Thanks so much for those special pancakes. I hope you don't mind but I stuck some in my pockets and now I am having them for dinner too! They are yummy. Of course, I didn't let the fruit, bacon, etc., go to waste this morning either. I guess you can see why those Weight Watcher points just never work out for me! :)
ZONA: Why do you think it is Hump Day? It is very easy to confuse me and you just did.
Hi all!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone had a great day.
Bono - I usually watch a lot more television than I have this summer. I don't like the Bachelorette (although I thought I would). I do like to watch Ghost Hunters on Wednesday night.. that is super good!
Welcome back Mary/MI!!! I bet you have so many pics and stories! I can't wait to hear them. I would love to go overseas someday. :)
Today was not a fun day. I finally had my appt with the lung doctor and was right on time. They wouldn't take me because I was supposed to be there 20min early to check in. I didn't have that written down but explained that I have pneumonia and I need to get off oxygen and that receptionist wouldn't budge. I even tried to breathe like I needed a doctor. I had to reschedule. It's not like this is my first time there and I was very mad. As I filled out some paperwork, a drug distributor came in and asked what doctors were there and mentioned my dr's name. The receptionist said, "oh, she's not in yet today." I did speak up and say, "you won't let me have my appt and she's not even here?" The receptionist told me she was at the hospital and since I wasn't there 20 min before my appt she called her and told her not to rush in!!! It went from bad to worse...then I had to get my car from valet parking and I pulled out in the circle drive behind two other cars at the stop sign. We sat there forever until I noticed a car in the other lane pass by me...guess what----the cars I waa behind had no driver as they were cars parked by the valet! I didn't feel too dumb..yea, right!! Meanwhile, I am carring my oxygen everywhere and forgot to turn it on. Did someone say they had a gallon of wine or vodka or anything around?
ReplyDeleteOne more thing....welcome home, Mary/MI. It seems like you just left..does it to you? I can't wait to see pictures and hope you had a great time!
ReplyDeletedianne/denver: Big Hug, I hate days like that. I sure hope tomorrow will be double nice.
ReplyDelete??
ReplyDeleteHOT DAMN!!
ReplyDeleteI have been foad all day and night! I write a long ass post and poof-gone!
Anywho- Thanks for the welcome homes. The vaca was wonderful and I got to see the grandbabies a lot of different times and they are so cute and we had so much fun with them. Sometime before they graduate I will get pics posted ;)
Ok- my day of "back to reality" has kicked my butt, so off to bed I go.
Oh man! Wrong again. I was so sure that picture was K-girl! Anyway, iteach, your picture is adorable.
ReplyDeleteBon'O, Zona, LynnD and anyone else who is interested, I'll get the book list together and post it for ya'll.
Mary/mi, welcome home!
Tina, I'm sorry for all your family has had to go through--I'm sure it's been especially hard for your son.
Dianne/Denver, they weren't nice to you!! I hope they are extra nice the next time you go~
Dianne that is horrible treatment, I am appalled. I would go to patient assistance if I were you and make a BIG complaint.
ReplyDeleteThat is NOT right.
Just Lin: Uh oh! That could very well be! I'm kind of a sourpuss on the tennis court!
ReplyDeleteMary/MI: Um, did you, um, flirt a little? If someone who I thought was really attractive was right beside me on a long flight, I don't think I could resist!
Dianne: That is one of the worst medical stories I've ever heard! Unbelievable! Pouring you a nice Bloody Mary...
tina in UT, I didn't hear what happened but my condolences go out to you and all involved. I tried to go back and scroll through and see but couldn't find it. I do hope that there is a lot of love and support for everyone to get them through this hard time.
ReplyDeleteBEAR: Thanks for the drink (gulp) could I please have another one and this time could you a just a smidge more vodka?
ReplyDeleteEBJ: This was a doctors office..maybe I should write a letter or something to a manager. They had better not make me wait one mintue on my appt so I will have to tell them they are throwing my schedule off! This is a huge place too..not just Joe's Lung Shop...it is National Jewish Medical and Research Center and they are huge! At least they had a cancellation and got me in Thursday...you can bet I will be very very early!!
Lynn d:
ReplyDeleteCongrats on First!!!
Lovey:
So very good to see you here at the
nest, you have been missed...
Bon:
Thank You for today's blog, I love Sunday Morning and try to watch when ever able..
As far as Summer TV, I have been catching up on Jon and Kate plus 8. I love that show, and don't get to watch in during the regular TV sked.
Amicus:
I saw this weeks Sunday Morning with the segment about the trained dogs. Triple Loved it...That man has rescued so many animals, Kudos to him...
Mary/Mi:
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, I can't wait to see pics and hear all about the trip.
Dianne:
I would def complain, you were treated poorly, I have never heard of getting to a doctor 20min before your appt to check in, If that was the case then they should advise you in advance.. Shame on them!
Sorry you had to go thru that!!
And
Sitting behind parked cars, I have done that myself :O)
Good evening, Carol!
ReplyDeleteGoldie:
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back! Glad you Enjoyed...Sometime we need a vaca from a vaca :O)
Hey Whabby, I did not know if you were still here!
ReplyDeleteAlways, Always good to see ya...
Do you happen to have a senior pic of yourself hanging around, I would love to post it....
Barbwa:
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beach! I love the Beach, its one of my favorite things to do in the Summer...
What beach to you go to?
Shirley:
ReplyDeleteI loved your breakfast today, sorry I missed it...
lol..sacbarbs flowers...Your wit just cracks me up...
Carol: I probably do, but are you all using some kind of a color scanner to digitize your old photos? How do I do the translation?
ReplyDeleteGlynis:
ReplyDeleteI saw your pics of Crescent Bar, Wow that resort looks great, So much fun too... Your family looks like they had a ball... So Funny, Berry gets right in there with the kids, My dad used to do the same thing! What a wonderful memory you have made for your children. Kudos to you and Berry...
And...
Can I just say, love the pedi..
Nice toes :O)
Whabby:
ReplyDeleteIf you have a scanner you can scan the photo and then save it to your computer and then e-mail it to me..
If you don't have a scanner, I am not sure if there is a way to do it...
Maybe another owls knows...
I am going to try to do this..to all the owls I have not addressed...
ReplyDeleteZona, iteach, jennifer, mek, mo, birdee, bebbi, jodi, tina, ebj, tinka, gmoses, just_lin, ibb, mek, bebbi, sandie, sacbarb, vig...
Waving a wing to you all....
Hi Carol and Whabby! I think you can go to Kinkos or UPS Store and they can scan it. Also, there may be a scanner at a library or Walgreens/CVS.
ReplyDeleteI am heading off to bed, another long day gone. Nighters.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I just checked out my nephews website...What the heck happen to Jackie Stallone..When did she turn into a, well, "Plastic Figure"
ReplyDeleteThese celebrities just don't know when enough is enough...
bebbi:
ReplyDeleteThanks, I did not know that...
Goodnite, Sweet dreams...

ReplyDeletecpgem - waving hi to you..
ReplyDeleteBarb in WA just called me as she was driving up the coast - I'm not sure if she wanted to rub it in that it was cool there - or if she really just wanted to say HI!! just kidding - she wanted me to enjoy the coast with her!! I told her it was still 100 degrees here - she was SO happy that she wasn't here.......
Dianne - treated badly - in Denver - I have NEVER heard of that before - it's not like doctors ever see you at your exact appt time!!!!!!! goodness!!!!! AND, the doctor wasn't even there - that receptionist needs to sit on the naughty mat!!!!!!
Zona - I keep telling you to come on down - it's quite chilly in my family room right now!!!
Mary in MI - Bonjour!! Welcome back!!
Mr. Mek had us watch "Wipeout" tonight - I would NOT recommend it - now I'm watching "America's Got Talent" - so far - only one guy has impressed me.!! goodness..
I hope everyone has had an excellent day!!
:-)
niter, cpgem!!
ReplyDeleteOH - I forgot -
Iteach - thanks for sharing your picture - I am SO not good at this.
what a cutie!!!
:-)
Whabbear I took some old photos to Kinko's and they showed me how to use the scanner and copy the pics to a disc. Once you have that, you can download them to your computer and send them via email or put them on your MS.
ReplyDeleteMary/MI Welcome home!
ReplyDeleteThe news is over.
ReplyDeleteLeno is a rerun..
I'm off to bed..
Will watch the wedding on the Today Show in the a.m.!! (there really isn't anything on tv!!)
Good night all....
I hope everyone has an excellent WEdnesday!!
:-)
Whabby: My old scanner wouldn't work with my new computer so I took my senior pics to Walgreens to have them put on a disc. It cost me $2.99 plus tax for 12 pics.
ReplyDeleteCarol: I just finished reading about Cindy Lou, one of the dogs who played Sandy in Annie. She was caught by an Animal Control officer when she was around 1 year old, but they think she was abandoned as a pup, because her puppy collar embedded in her neck as she grew. It had to be surgically removed.
She was scheduled to be euthanized, because she was afraid of humans and had bitten someone. Berloni adopted her, nursed her back to health, taught her to trust people again, and she played Sandy over 500 times. Amazing!!!
Here's a quote from him that I love ...
After a show when I leave the stage door without the dogs and there is a crowd gathered, sometimes I hear someone say the following, and it makes it all worthwhile. "How did they make that dog do that?" I smile because I am the only "they" and I do it with love.
That last sentence makes my heart smile. :)
Goldie and Mary: Welcome home! Glad you enjoyed your vacations!
Amicus
ReplyDeleteI love hearing stories like that when a stray abandoned pet has a happy ending.
Good night!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Just Lin and Sher... er, I mean, Amicus! OK, now I'll have to go through my drawers in search of graduation photos!
ReplyDeleteFYI, TV also sucks at 2:41 a.m.
ReplyDeleteITEACH - You make me laugh!!! Good morning pretty lady!!! Luv'd your pic. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone has a great hump day!!!
Gotta go get ready for work. :D
Iteach: LOL! It sucks at 3:18 AM too, which is why I'm reading the Broadway board instead. :)
ReplyDeleteWhabby: You're just cruisin' for a bruisin'! ;)
Good Morning, Jodi! Have a good day at work!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to bed now. Goodnight, Owls!
