Toy Story of Sorts!

Wow, what a whirlwind we have been on, its seems a get together was in order, as we had reason to celebrate, not only for my Birthday, but for the nest coming alive. We came together, as it should be, as a group, we were as we began. It was certainly what we all needed.

Congrats to you all, Thank you to all, as you have all proved, that the nest should be.

Standing Ovation!!!!

Our Sunday Music Video is very apropos, as I believe we all feel what the words have to say!

Enjoy :O)

  2. CPGEM: Love the video! I truly do love my friends. I'll always be there if they need me and I will stand beside them and defend them til the end. I may not be tough, but dang I'm loyal!!

    I like the combination of Lyle Lovett and Randy Newman. Great choice this morning! Thank you!

    Good Morning SHIRLEY!

    I am off to bed..been up way too long. I left a little message in Area 51 too.

    Happy Sunday Everyone!

  3. Good morning to my Owl Friends!

    Congrats Zona on # one, and I agree with you, I'll be there for my friends as well. Good morning.

    Shirley~I'm standing with you and clapping. Good morning.

    Carol~Good morning to you Dear One. All I can say is "We made it".
    There's an old expression that states: "Sometimes you have to wade through a lot of mud to get to the other side." Well, with the love and friendship that abounds in our nest, we are swaying high in the tree again listening to the sounds of laughter.

    To all of you:
    'You've got a friend in me.'

    Happy Sunday morning all!

    It made me tear up.

  6. I am off to a family reunion today.

    It is on my husband's side.

    I hope everyone has a great day.

  8. Zona -Congrats on being First.

    It looks like the blog is about friendship. I will be right back to read it.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well, I read the blog and comments and listened to the song and I can only say I agree with everything said this morning. We are good friends here.

    Carol - I love that song and the movie. I have watched it so many times with my grandkids. It brings back happy memories snuggling in front of the fire place with two little ones, the three of us singing along with the video.

  10. It looks like once more the nest is empty. I will return in a while when other owls show up. I am off to myspace.

  11. Good morning friends! Wishing a sweet Sunday to zona, shirley, ronnie, lynn_d, iteach, neighbourlady tink and to all the Owls that fly in later!

    Zona...you got first! Cool! Thank you for the nice things you said to everyone in Area 51....your blog was so fun yesterday. I loved watching the youtube posts and all day I hummed commercial ditties that I hadn't thought of for years. Hum with me...hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us.....

    Carol...what a lovely way to begin Sunday. A very sweet song and a very sweet message. You have done it again...found the perfect video to remind us what this blog is all about and to bring us together. You are amazing and wonderful and a true leader!!! And who would have thunk that Randy and Lyle's voices would sound so good together....a fabulous duet! Thank you, nice lady!

    I am off across Zona's Pacific River today to Vancouver to teach a course for a week and I am not sure if I am going to have wireless Internet access where I am staying, so if I am not on here, I will be in spirit, and will be thinking of you all!

  12. Good Morning FRIEND'S!

    What a nice way to wake up. Love the song.
    The party was great. Just wish I had NOT fallen asleep so damn early. But, I'm guessing it was meant to be, because if I was that tired, I would not have been able to *dick* fast enough and Shirley most certainly would have soaked my arse good!!

    We are having beautiful weather here, so I may be outside most of the day, but will try and drop back in!

    MUAH!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Zona!!!!! Baby!!!!!!

    Congrat's on first!!

    Hope everyone has a great Saturday

  15. VIG - Good Morning. You have mail. I imagine you are very busy this morning getting ready for your trip. Hurry back. I will miss you.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Vig, have fun and know we will be thinking of you, if you can't get a connection!

  17. Good Morning Birdee and Scirish - I have been trying to post and a 'copy this link' box shows up instead. I don't know what I am doing wrong with my mouse.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Birdee - I think our nice weather has left us for a few days. I guess I will finish season three of Grey's instead of going outside and enjoying the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Happy Sunday!

    Congrats Zona!

    That was a good video, I'd never seen it before. When I see Randy Newman I always think "I Love LA" and Lyle I think of Julie Roberts. I don't know any of his songs!

    My niece is here visiting, so today we will shop, and do some swimming/sun worshipping.

    Have a safe trip VIG! I hope everyone has a nice day today!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hello Tink, sorry your nice weather is gone. I do best when it is about the mid 70's.

    Wish I could help you with the posting problem, but I know nothing. Whenever I have a problem with this comp. I just close everything out and see if it will work when I log back on.

    ReplyDelete
  21. EBJ, Ha!! Whenever I see RAndy Newman, I think of his song.....*Short People*!!
    He wrote it about me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mo!!!!!!!!!!! Wake Up!!

    I want Bacon this morning!!!
    bwahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Good Morning Good morning!

    Vig safe travels!!

    Birdee I always think of short people too, when I hear the name Randy Newman! LOL

    Tinka have fun watching Greys!

    EBJ the sun worshipping part sounds good!

    Hi Scrishy and Iteach,Shirley and anyone else I missed this morning.

    I must get moving.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Good Morning East Bay J. Happy Sunday to you.

    Birdee - I think I fiddled with "preferences" and changed something with my mouse. I will go back and figure it out sometime. Right now I am having too much fun reading comments here and on myspace.
    I like sunny weather at about 78 degrees. I would like it that way all year. Yesterday we had our first rain in a long time. Today it is cloudy and it has an 'autumn feel' to it.

    Zona - I just read your thank you comment in area 51. We very much enjoyed your blog yesterday.

    Carol - I am so glad you reprinted Zona's summary of the party. Many of us didn't see it because when we woke up we were on a new page. It must have taken some length of time to write that summary. Thanks Zona.

    ReplyDelete
  25. PERFECT SUNDAY BLOG, CAROL!

    *Love the duet.
    *Love the new color scheme.
    *Double-love the Zona-quotes on the side-bar.
    *Triple love seeing so many Morning Owls up and about!

    From me to ALL of you, this says it all............

    You've Got A Friend---Carole King,Celine,Gloria,Shania

    I almost chose the Carole King solo version (which I like better), but then it hit me...just like in the Nest, it is, after all, about the FRIENDS. Now, if they had just included Randy & Lyle....

    ReplyDelete
  26. Good Morning Lynn - Yes I am enjoying Grey's. I have two more discs from season three to watch. I guess VIG or Zona will have to tell me about season 4 because I don't think they will repeat many before season 5 starts. I can't believe how many hours I have spent watching those 3 seasons. Thank you Zona for sending me seasons one and two. It really is a good show.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Good Morning Bon'O - I am going to watch the video link you provided and then get started with my day. Have fun all owls everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Bon'O - I am writing this through my tears. That song really got to me. Two of the four singers are Canadian. That made it seem even more like our nest. Thanks for sending in that clip. Have a great day everyone. See you this afternoon.

  29. Good Afternoon feathered FRIENDS!

    ZONA...congrats on first. You are such a talented writer, good friend and dear, sweet lady. I loved your re-cap of the party!! Sorry you weren't here with us.

    SHIRLEY...I am standing and applauding along side of you! And if you try and spray me, it will ricochet right back at you!!

    BIRDEEEEE....stop yelling at me, I'm up already!! Bacon's on!!

    And a big HELLO to: LYNN D, RONNIE, TINKA, EBJ, ITEACH, VIG (crossing fingers you find wireless!), SCIRISH and BONO.

    I am so thankful to all of you for your kindness and caring you show me and each other. We really do have a special flock here in the nest. MWAH!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. CAROL...Thank you for having a birthday at just the right time! I think we celebrated each other as we stood together to celebrate you. You have given us sooo much of you and brought a lovely group together.

    Please thank Cici and Sarah for raising such a wonderful lady. ;)

  31. Happy Sunday!!

    Zona - congrats on first!!

    waving howdy to Zona, Shirley, Ronnie, Lynn D, Iteach, Tinka, VIG, Birdee, Scirish, EBJ, Bono, MO and Whabby...... and who ever flies in after me...

    We are going to have a lazy Sunday - watching the olympics and basically doing NOTHING!! couldn't ask for a better way to spend the day!!

    I hope you all have an excellent day!!
    :-)

  34. AND,

    I appreciate all of you more than you will EVER know!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. ZONA - Congrats on first!!! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. It's ironic that you chose to share an Oscar Mayer commercial.....they have a plant right here in Madison, WI!!! The commercials that I really enjoy are the Budweiser ones that they put out during the Super Bowl....I especially liked the one about the horse that trains with the dalmation and makes the team the next year....of course, I love that they show the training to the Rocky Theme!!! The other commercial..that I still know all the words to is the one from McDonald's for the Big Mac.....two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, chesse, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!!! So there!!!

    WHABBY - lol @ standing HO!!!

    CAROL - The perfect song for our little nest. I believe that yes, we have weathered the storm and are stronger for it!!! I'm glad you enjoyed your b'day.....and the wordle that I sent you!!! I hope you get a chance to print it out and maybe frame it. Hang it in your office....maybe next to "Aunt Jo". :D

  36. Good morning all my owl friends! I'm dropping off some hot fresh-baked cinnamon rolls and coffee cake along with assorted coffees, teas, milk, and juices.

    Zona Congrats on first today. Now get some rest!

    Carol What a nice way to start the day. That song and the performers make me smile. Thank you.

    I want to thank all the owls for being in the nest and offering their friendship. You are really a special group of people and I feel blessed to have found you.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hey, Just_Lin, thanks for the warm coffee-cake. Just what I need (okay, want) before getting out in this stunningly perfect Sunday!

    (btw, I realize I lied yesterday...you're actually nine days wiser than I.)

    ReplyDelete
  38. BonO You were born on the 15th? No wonder you are in better shape than I! You're just a baby!

    BTW, my husband's neice's family adopted a Bernese Mountain Dog not that long ago. Here's his pic. His name is Sangar.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ooops! Typo! The pup's name is Sanger.

    ReplyDelete
  40. OMG, J/L~~I'm SO glad I stopped back for one more peek! How precious is he? See why I love them SO much?

    Ok, Billy Mays is on TV selling Simoniz FixIt right now (for $19.99--surprise!) so I REALLY have to get outside NOW!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. BonO I thought you'd like that photo. :)

  42. Congrats on first Zona, and a very close 2nd goes to Shirley!

    I love that song, Carol, and I love Randy Newman's unique singing voice.

    Bon'o: Loved your video too. I'm a big Carole King fan. Those ladies sang that song beautifully!

    LOL @ Whabbear's "Standing Ho"!

    Just lin: Sanger is an adorable puppy!!!!!

    Hello Ronnie, Lynn, iteach, Tinka, Vig (Safe Travels!), birdee, scirish, EBJ, Mo, mek, jodi, & anyone else who flies in after me.

    BEAUTIFUL day here in So. Ohio. I think I'm going to get out and soak up a little sun. That should help with my mood.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Did anyone mention this commercial yesterday? I just found it and can't believe I didn't think of it sooner, becaues I'm afraid it's in my brain forever!

  44. Happy Sunday afternoon Owls.

    I am having a lazy day watching Olympics.

    Carol, I love that song and I stand with Shirley and Ronnie for a standing "O"

    I feel so blessed to be a part of this auspicious group. I think it's going to take a lot more than a little unrest to take this nest down, and one of the reasons is our fearless leader, Carol. Thank you so much Carol, for not giving up on us, now and also when we left the other blog.

    Here is one of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoy it too.

  45. Good Afternoon Owls. I love the blog and video today and a perfect song.

    I just want to thank all of you for being my friends. This group has made an impact in my life and I hope that I have been a friend back to all of you. You are such a fun-loving and caring group and that matters so much in life for all of us.

    Ok BONO AND J/l: I guess you are both babies to me as I am 6 mos older (and wiser, right) than both of you.

    ZONA: I loved your take on the party yesterday except I think you might have put a jinx on the Broncos because we "accidently" lost by a field goal!! BTW, good sport that I am (ya' right) I want to congratulate you fans of the (gulp) Raiders and Seahawks for winning your games. I am not up on the other teams this weekend but see Brett will be starting for the Jets next week. JODI: I will hurry and get that shirt mailed to you so there will be no doubt on who you are cheering for...

    Good Afternoon: SHIRLEY, ZONA, MEK, RONNIE, LYNN, ITEACH, TINK, VIG, BIRDEE, SCIRISH, WHABBY, EBJ, BONO,MO, JUSTLIN, JODI. Ok, I think I got everyone that has been in before me...and a big hello to all of you Owls today.

    I wish we would have a gloomy weather day because I love them. I wish we would have a "hint" of fall..nope, not a chance this summer (although it is only 80 right now). There has been really bad rain in parts of Denver this weekend but not a drop at our house.

    MO: I left you message and question in A51 regarding your movie day yesterday.

    My oldest granddaughter (9) broke her finger Friday at soccer camp. She is in a temp cast and gets a regular one up to her elbow tomorrow. My poor daughter and husband are in need of some of those jello shots...badly!

    Well, time to take a shower as we are all off to my friend's grandchilds bday party and bbq. See ya' all later!

    REMINDER: I really appreciate every single one of you and proud to call you my friends.

  47. Whoops...SACBARB AND HART came on while I was writing my novel. Hello to both of you.

  48. Hi Dianne! Sorry about your granddaughter. My daughter broke her finger a while back and they didn't cast her up to her elbow. Of course, we have a sad excuse for a hospital here.

    ReplyDelete
  49. That was my FIRST! (Here, anyway.)

    ReplyDelete
  50. I hope everyone is having a nice day.

    Zona, Congrats on #1. Thanks again for the fun blog yesterday.

    Birdee, Randy Newman wrote Short People song for me too.

    Scirish, LOL @ Saturday. Sometimes the days just become a blur, right?

    J/L, What a cutie Sanger is. His paws look huge. I guess they get to be big dogs?

    Waving a wing at Shirley, Ronnie, LynnD, Iteach, Tinka, Vig (safe travels), EBJ, Mo, Whabby, MEK, Jodi, Hartldo, and everyone who flies in later. Have a great day.

    ReplyDelete
  51. HART: I thought a cast that big was a little much for a finger but who am I to know. Kayla (gd) is a drama girl and right now is miling this cast..wait until a few weeks from now...not so much, I don't think.

    ZONA: Thanks for thinking of me and sending me a MS comment but did it have to be those Sonic guys? Just looking at them bugs me! They are like a couple of morons (which I guess is the point of the commercial) but I like Sonic so I would like them to be quiet!! :) Again, thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  52. SACBARB: You missed me in the hellos. I think you need to be kind to your rival fan/team that will be making the start of the "real" season a bummer for you California people (and ZONA). BUT you know....I still love you and hope to get you converted very soon. xxoo :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hey Dianne, you flew in while I was typing. Sorry about your granddaughter. Kids sports are brutal, aren't they? With 3 boys (4 if you count my Hubby), we probably had every injury imaginable. We were on intimate terms with the staff at the Kaiser cast clinic.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hart, I love that song and I play it a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Dianne, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I am not going to convert. I've been a Raider fan too long to defect now. Loyalty is my middle name. (don't tell my Mom I changed it)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Good afternoon feathered friends!

    I had such a headache, so I took a nap and it is still lingering. Oh well, such is life.

    DIANNE...Sorry about your g-daughters broken finger. When I was about 7 or so, I broke my right index finger and had a cast up to my elbow, too. That is how I learned to write with my left hand! It was that or nothing for 6 weeks. And from Area 51...that little girl wore me out! She has that abililty! But the movie was aweseome!! I so loved the ending!! Poor Pierce Brosnan, couldn't sing his way out of a paper bag! Good thing he is sooooo fine to look at!

    SACBARB...I wont tell you changed your middle name to loyalty!! Our secret!

    MEK...Glad you and Mr. Mek are having a lazy day Olympicing it!!

    HARTLDO...congrats on your first SIXTY NINE!! Was it good for you? LOL!!

    HoDI...do you have any of those glazers laying around? I think I need a donut! I'm sure all of J/L's coffee cake has been eaten already!

    JUST LIN...Next time can you hide a slice of coffee cake for me? Ya know I am a piggy!! That puppy is PRECIOUS!!!

    Has anyone heard from AMICUS? I am worried about her.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hi Mo, Thanks for keeping my secret. So that little girl wore you out? Good thing it's not a 24/7 thing, then.

    I just heard that Isaac Hayes died. What a shame. This hasn't been a good weekend for Hollywood.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Mo, I haven't heard from Amicus. I hope she is OK.

  59. Hi Everyone....

    I thought today's Sunday Music Video was so perfect, I have never seen those two perform together, I really think they did a good job...And I love that song, and of course the movie...

  60. Zona babeeeeeee:
    Congrats on First! I loved your comment so very much in area 51 that I posted it on the main page of the blog, along with your song, So hope you did not mind, as I did not ask, I just really thought both were so sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I have copied and pasted all the blogs that were sent my way into blogger, I am thrilled with all the blogs I got.. And btw, They are all terrific, and its a good mix...

    I am going to try to blog in between them, so it will spread them out. So then when my mind is not working, I can use a blog from a owl...

    I will let each owl know the night before via myspace that their blog will be posted the next morning..

    Thanks again to all...

    :O)

  62. Bon:
    When I was searching for todays video, I saw the video that you have the link for, and I actually almost posted it, It was a toss up, as I loved that one as well... It was something about "A friend in me" and Toy Story, that just made me post the one I did... So funny how we thought alike tho...

  66. Vig:
    You are always so very sweet.. Thank You...

    I am going to hold off on your blog till you get back, so you can enjoy it with the nest.

    I also hope you get internet access so you can check-in...

    Enjoy your week, I know you are working, however I also know how very much you enjoy your work, as do I ...

    :O)

    ReplyDelete
  67. Birdee, my dear chickenowl, you were surely here in spirit, as someone was making "buffalo wings" as a snack...

    Which would make me think you would be a little sore these last few days, so your absence is understandable..

    ♥♥♥

  68. I went on Ant's blog today, as I have not been there in a while and I wanted to catch up on some of his videos. I noticed a comment from "SoCalNancy" wishing me a Happy Birthday, I am not sure how to get in contact with her, and not sure if she reads this blog, However I wanted to Thank Her, as I don't know her very well, and I just thought that was very nice.

    So if anyone can tell her Thank You for me, I would appreciate it..

    I did not really think much about Lyle Lovett or know much about him, (except for his marriage to Julia Roberts), Yet when I saw that video, I liked him... I should check out his other songs....

  94. Is it bedtime yet??? Okay, so I thought I could move furniture, clean my house, wash and vacuum my car and still . . . walk? This weekend kicked my hinder.

    Congrats on first, zonababy!!

    Carol, what a perfect blog/song today. I'm so thankful for all of you owls, too. Everyone here has been so kind to me from the start. I vow to do my best to always be the same.

    By the way, Carol, are you trying to rush my big 5-0 birthday??? LOL I just had a birthday two weeks ago--that's probably what confused you.

    Aubree's hamster died today. Then a bird flew into our pool and by the time I rushed the poodles into the house so they wouldn't eat him and ran out to save him, he was dead. I felt bad.

    Today we had some friends over to eat/swim before school starts tomorrow. Now I'm so tired.

    I want to comment to you all and say hi but it even hurts to type. I'll be back tomorrow.

    Have a great evening!

  98. Uploaded Photos!

    Enjoy, my crazy ass family!

    Question:
    How does one change the name of the Album on my space, I forgot to include the Month and Year on my Dad's Birthday Album...

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  99. CPGEM: This may not be right..but it looks like you just click on Edit on your main page...click on the album..then hit options..I think you can change the name there. I'm sure there are other more MS savvy owls out there to double check this with. I'm not too good at giving helpful instructions!! LOL

    And THANK YOU for TOS...

  101. Good evening everyone.

    After worrying all day about possibly having to go out my two sisters and my niece came down here. I wished they had told me that this morning. I gave myself a headache for nothing. They did want me to go with them to make smores but I said no. I wished I didn't feel this way. I get so angry at myself and then I cry. I'm sorry. Maybe I'll just go watch the Olympics and chill.
    Good night.

  104. The family reunion was great!

    After the picnic I went to my grandma's house to wish her a happy birthday!

    As I was sitting in her living room I never noticed she had ceramic owls everywhere.

    Isn't that funny how I never noticed them before!

  111. Hi Kids,

    Just checking in, looks like everyone is in fine form!

    Mr. Lynn D and I went and saw swing vote and let me just say, take a hankie. This movie makes you think and also made me teary eyed. I give it a thumbs up.

    However I am exhausted from watching it. LOL

    Dianne: Draw a peanut on the little peanuts cast for me would you? Tell her to feel better soon.

    Sandie: Sorry about the hamster and the bird. Yikes!

    Waving at all of you lovelies! Off to find some mindless TV since it is on over load!
