It is relevant?

with the weather changing
i realize another year will
come to a end soon

thinking back it seems
i can't remember much
of this past yr
actually nothing really stands out

so i wonder as i always do
what the next yr will bring
and will it be as this yr
not so relevant

i will admit little snippets
come to mind like a skunk
or the bay at the jersey shore
or my nephews making me
smile or a toe that is bruised
with pain

so yes not so relevant

it was yesterday that a balloon
went up in the air supposedly
holding a child captive
his name is Falcon
it came to be that
the child was safe on solid
ground and i could not help and
think "Falcon, in the sky were
he belongs" of all the boys that
could have been in this situation
it was Falcon that was the
possibility, his name will fit
his legacy

so for him and his family
i guess this yr will be relevant
as its the yr their homemade
balloon escaped its reins
and flew into the air leaving
Falcon behind

you have to wonder tho
"ppl making homemade balloons"
whatever happen to ppl making
homemade cookies
to me that would be so much easier

we shall see
as life goes on
and so do we

Well Obviously Tina in Hawaii has hampered her on jumping into first!


Carol this year has had many moments for me but it has been an exhausting year. I am hoping next year will be calmer and less of a roller coaster.

I did find it ironic that childs name was Falcon. How many out there like me suspect that the 12 year old cooked up this plan? You think he untethered the balloon knew he would get in trouble so he had his little brother hide? Hmmm sounds like kid logic to me. Otherwise how does a 6 year old get into the attic of a garage and hide in a box with snacks?

Kids :)

Good morning Lynn D and congrats on 1st!!

That kid is going to get more attention than the war in Iraq. Just like the kid who stole his father's car. He will be put on all the news shows. Sad really.

Congrats on first Lynndeeee!

This has been a year of extreme highs (SIL's wedding!) and extreme lows (Mom). I really would like the rest of the year to even out a bit.

Shirley...Yummy breakfast, but are you sure there is enough bacon??

Happy Birthday Mo!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I swear just writing bacon and I can taste it.

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

I know the childs name so ironic.. A box with snacks? I did not know that, I will tell ya tho, if I were Falcon, I would have chosen the box with snacks as well.. who the heck wants to be in a box with old clothes..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

I know again.. I write it and then I taste it.. On Fridays we here at my office order lunch out, so today I am def having bacon.. I can do a turkey club, or bacon egg cheese or just bacon egg, or blt..

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Ummm, I believe it said Maureen's Birthday Breakfast, not everyone help yourself! At this rate there won't be any left for the birthday girl. *Sniff*Sniff* Oh well...you snooze you loose!!! Mmmmmmm this bacon is good!!!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I will come back later and let you all know what my lunch choice was.. Because I know you all really care! LOL

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MO!!!!!!!SWAK

congrats on 1st lynn,

Lynn, I believe that the older child also cooked this up. Just seems that way to me...

Breakfast?? Shirley you are a doll!! Although your avatar is a bit misleading on that fact... just saying...

Carol- this year has been all things good and bad. Mostly good for us, but a couple of hiccups along the way.

Mr. Goldie and I spent last evening having dinner with a friend who was driving thru on her way home from the campground (she went up to close for the season) to Il.

Her hubby is in the hospital with kidney failure, pneumonia and now an infection in his chest tube thingy (where they hook him up to dialysis). This is the 5th time since May he has been in and it really sucks. She wants to give him a Kidney, but he has to be healthy enough to have surgery. I love her to death, so I ask my fellow owls to wish them luck.

Have a good day today everyone! The sun is shining here and its Friday, so yipeee!!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Tonite I am going out to dinner with the fam, its Vincents b'day on Monday and my SIL b'day today.. We are doing Italian, I have never been to this restaurant before, so I am looking forward to it, I love trying new restaurants..

Ok.. I am off and running..

Mo..
I hope your day is as special as you are..

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Yes Lynn it was slow and while I was harvesting I would get kicked off or it would freeze and just got tired of it. I like Fish World so I'll stay with that and Paradise Island.

night.owls.sb said...

Goldie..

You certainly have my thoughts..

Shirley..

When I see food I go in for the kill, so really its each man/girl for himself/herself.. Also Mo got penalty of bacon, she can just slice her arse, fry it up, and enjoy!

Lynn D said...

Carol I vote for all three!!!!

Definately box with snacks. LOL

Goldie saying a prayer for your friend!

Seriously I am happy this week is almost over too!

Shirley you can not serve food to this crowd and expect us to stay away! You should have learned by now we have no impulse control what so ever! :)

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

I have problems with my apps on FB all the time, I swear that is what takes up so much time.. trying to get on and then once on getting kicked out.. etc etc

Lynn D said...

Shirley I have noticed that every time they load new things that there are problems. It seems to take a day or two for the kinks to get worked out. Also notice the more someone has on their farms the more problems I seem to have. So I get it.

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

LMAO.. "no impulse control"

Maureen said...

THANKS all for the b-day wishes. They mean a lot to me. {{HUGS}}

SHIRLEY...you are such a sweetTART for breakfast and just the right amount of bacon! THANK YOU.

LYNN...I do hope next year will be a year of yellow for you and your family. You deserve a good year...every year.

CAROL...Bacon for lunch and maybe some prosciutto for dinner. Can't have enough bacon!!

GOLDIE... I hope your friend and her husband find relief soon.

SCIRISH...yes, you have had a roller coaster year. I hope next year brings you peace, comfort and the freedom from your physical pain.

BIRDEE...I saw you in Area 51. Thanks!

Dianne/Denver said...

No gambing yet this am. Iam jsu waking up andbmy friend is gone so she must be downstairs winning.We are going to a fun melodrama tonight and back home sometime saturday. Happy Birthday one more time Maureen Shirley, I was wondering if u r up to planning a Halloween party in Owl Manor? We haven't had a part there forever. I kind of miss those super soakers

Maureen said...

In light of yesterdays blog, I saw this today...

President Obama went to New Orleans for the first time as president Thursday to visit a charter school and to hold a town hall meeting. While there, he told the people of the city that he is committed to helping them continue to rebuild, more than four years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the region.

Obama observed that the destruction on the Gulf Coast was caused not just by a natural disaster, but also by the failure of government at every level to prepare for it. "We will not forget about New Orleans, and we are not going to forget about the Gulf Coast," he promised. "Together we will rebuild this region and we will rebuild it stronger than before."

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal attended, as did Sen. Mary Landrieu, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and Tyren Scott, a 4th-grade boy who asked the president the last question during the question and answer session of the program.

"Why do people hate you? And why, aren't they supposed to love you, if God is love?" Tyren asked the commander-in-chief.

The crowd clapped for Tyren as Obama laughed and patted Tyren on the shoulder. "First of all, I did get elected president, so not everybody hates me; I got a whole lot of votes," Obama joked. "A lot of it is what's called politics, where once one party wins, the other party feels like they've got to poke you a little bit to keep you on your toes. So you shouldn't take it too seriously."

He went on. "But people are worried about their own lives. A lot of people are losing their jobs right now. They're losing their health care or they lost their homes to foreclosure and they're feeling frustrated, and when you're president of the United States, you've got to deal with all of it. You get some of the credit when things are going good, but when things are going bad, you get some of the blame."

"But that's all right," Obama said, adding, "I'm a pretty tough guy. Are you a tough guy? You look pretty tough. So you've just got to keep going on going, even when folks are criticizing you, when you know you're doing it for other people."

Maureen said...

DIANNE...I hope you win a lot!

Thanks for the phone messages. Just not in the talky mood, but I surely do appreciate them. They make my heart warm. {{HUGS}}

scirish said...

Dianne....What a wonderful idea! Last years party was so much fun!

Mo...Thanks, especially for the pain part. I forgot how miserable the cold actually made me.

Maureen said...

gee...i just noticed I got 25. SHIRLEY...mark that down, please.

Maureen said...

I really am slow today...just noticed the QOTD...thanks JUST LIN

Mary/MI said...

Good afternoon everyone!
Making another mad dash. I have been busy with my Kitchen plans. Seems Mr Mary wants no say in any of the plans. Needless to say I have been overwhelmed! I had to find the contractor, pick out the cupboards, counter top,dishwasher,(my 1st ever!), back splash, and design for my new pantry! All this while running the house and visiting SIL in hospital. I have been "farming" to give myself a break now & then. I don't need a bad farm to boot lol!!

Goldie, I will keep your friend's Hubby in my prayers. My Mother was on dialysis for many years. She had 7 of us siblings. We were never approached about a kidney transplant. It wasn't that well advanced in the 60s. But I also feel sad that her lack of insurance had a lot to do with it.

Carol, how fun! Celebrating 2 B-days Italian style!! Have fun!

Diane-not-gambling-yet. Where in the hell are you? Tina in Hawaii? You both slipped out of town! Have fun gals!

MO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

lYNND Congrats on first! :)

night.owls.sb said...

***Attn K Mart Shoppers***

Yum..

***end of red light special***

Tinkatia said...

I did it. Everyday I try to post it won't accept my password. I refused to go in and sign up again. Today after only 4 tries it worked. I wonder why.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning everyone. Congrats on first Lynn.

Tinkatia said...

Happy Birthday Maureen. Have a great day.

Tinkatia said...

Carol - This has been one of my best and one of my worst years. I don't like to get on the blog and complain about not being able to walk without pain so I just don't blog. It is now 5 months of feeling like I am trying to walk with 100 pound weights attached to my legs. If I walk for more than 10 minutes the pain is awful. I have had every test, ultrasound and xray my doctor can think of. Nothing has shown up. I am now waiting to see a neurologist. It shouldn't be long. Please know I am thinking of you all and I will be back when I feel better.
Love, Tinka

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - I am going to miss you on Farmtown and Farmville. It has been great for me. I just "zone out" with my legs propped up and forget about my troubles. I have never been slowed down on my computer. I guess I have a good server. Off I go to my farms.

Tinkatia said...

Zona - Thinking of you today. ((((Hugs)))))

Tinkatia said...

Mark that down Shirley although I will never catch up with you now.

Mary/MI said...

Tinka, I am so sorry you are still in pain. I have missed you. If you don't post, I worry about you. I don't mind hearing about your condition. I know there will be better days ahead for you. I do my "airing out" here and so far the sweet owls have not kicked me out of the nest lol! So please check in more often Tinka!

Just_Lin said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOWEENIE!!!!

LynnD Last night during a live interview, Falcon looked at his dad and said, "You said we did it for the show". WTC? They are investigating the family to try to determine if it was all a hoax.

Shirley How wonderful that you made breakfast to celebrate MO's birthday. I'll have some bacon with a side of bacon, please. Maybe a pancake or two, also.

Tinka Love seeing you here today. I've missed you and your little brown owl. (((HUGS)))

Goldie I sure hope your friend's hubby is able to rally and get healthy enough for surgery.

Mary Have you made all your kitchen decisions yet? I started by deciding on the cabinets style and color, then took samples around to help me pick out countertops, backsplash tile and new flooring. Gathering samples as I went, really helped me see how it would all look with each other.

scirish I hope this will be one of the good days. (((HUGS)))

Dianne You should call Mary. Maybe some of her good gambling mojo will rub off on you.

Carol I not only don't know where the year went, but I've been noticing lately how quickly one week is running into another. it really is true that the older you get, the faster it goes by. Maybe it's time dilation at work. LOL

Maureen said...

TINKA...thank you. And I second exactly what MARY said!

CAROL...sounds scrumptious!

Maureen said...

JUST LIN...thanks!

I am off to get my new license. Drats...gotta get a new pic taken! I hope they have a wide angle lens available.

BBL.........

Mary/MI said...

Justlin, yes I have been dragging samples around with me. I have scoured the internet for dishwashers. I think I will get the Bosch. I am going to look at more counter top colors. They are limited in quartz. I don't have a lot of counter space, so I can splurge in this area. As you stated, I have to make sure everything goes together.
I have one of those huge double door frigs. My contractor is going to build it into the wall. That will give me a little more room.
K, enough of my boring details lol.
bbl
Have a great day everyone!

Tinkatia said...

Thank you Mary and Maureen - I promise I will check in more often. I find it hard to concentrate on the topic of the day. I will try harder. Love, Tinka

Well Shirley, will u plan a party? I will bring chips---pretty please. MARY, I will be back Sat with all my money but I already have almost run out. We r going to a halloween melodrama tonight. We r up in the mts about an hour from colo springs (my friend and I)

whabbear said...

Just a quick fly-by; I just landed in Columbus and am about to meet the relatives!

Carol: Another of your on-the-mark blogs... loved it!

Hugging Goldie and Tinkatia. Goldie, that is a very frustrating situation for both of them to be in.

And Audrey... I keep hoping you'll have some better news, but please don't keep the bad news from us! We're in this thing called life together!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Dianne if everyone agrees to a Halloween party, I think I could come up with something. But if you want supersoaker don't expect them to have water in them. ijs

Maureen said...

Hey feathered friends...once again, THANK YOU all so much for the birthday wishes, calls, messages, facebook comments and myspace comments and banners. When I can get to the library, I will write back to each of you.

I got really sick this evening. Started vomitting, coughing and burning up and then freezing so bad I was shaking. I'm hoping it is just a reaction to something I ate and not a flu...but I feel like SHIT! I know, TMI, but I wanted to explain why I was not here since this afternoon.

Thanks again...Love you all.

Zona said...

Mo: I'm so sorry I'm late wishing you a Happy Birthday..I wanted you to know that I hoped you had a wonderful day...but I'm really sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I sure hope that you feel better soon. {{{hugs}}}

Mary/MI said...

Waving good night on my way to bed.
I am sure by now those of you on FB know I have a new Great Nephew. My Nephew (new GS Uncle)put up a pic and video of him. So sweet! Unfortunately they live in the Boston area. Thank goodness for the internet!

Whabby, are you in Columbus Ohio, or is there a Columbus in BC?

Tina, I hope you didn't burn Kgirl's hair with that hair dryer!

Do you all like how I painted my ass??

Nite all!!

Mary/MI said...

Mary/MI said...

Dianne/Denver said...

Yea SHIRLEY is going to have a halloween party for us with booze in the sooper soaker!! I must plan my costume.

Just_Lin said...

Mary LOL @ your Jack O Lantern. Hope it doesn't "talk".

Dianne Somehow I don't think Shirley had alcohol in mind for the super soakers.

Just_Lin said...

MO Well, that's no fun to get sick on your birthday! It's no fun anytime, but especially not on your birthday. Hope you are feeling better now.

Dianne/Denver said...

J/L what do u think shirley has in mind so the super soaker? And btw I reallyb do know how tob spell super

Just_Lin said...

Dianne Probably something gross since it's Halloween we're talking about. I was thinking bloody looking stuff. I hope you enjoyed the melodrama.

Tina~in_ut said...

Mary~ nice ass~
