Glad to hear you were able to accomplish some things today.
But yuck on having to deal with taxes. That can ruin a day.
Good luck on getting to bed at an earlier hour tonight. Has your mom been running you ragged again? :-(

But the temps are going to drop after that. boohiss!

I could get audio on YouTube but not on the site. I can get audio on all the other nests, so know it’s not my speakers. Kinda weird. Oh, well....
I haven’t seen the storks when I peeked in. Are they AWOL today?

I’m getting audio on the sites so I don’t know what’s causing you not to.
No one slept at the Latvia nest last night and haven’t seen anyone this morning so far.
I was happy to see two storks at Poland at last. Slowly but surely we’re getting pairs at the nests. Kocser storks got a head start on everyone - - they have 4 eggs already.

Awesome that all of your storks are finding mates and will soon have little storklets hopping around.
Maybe if I restarted, but I’m lazy and it’s getting late anyhow. LOL!

She was good today...she stayed in bed. She came out for dinner, checked on her flowers and chose to go back to bed to get comforable and watch TV. Quiet nor.
An interesting sign tonight....after talking about several signs not being there, she was a bit angry that one said, “Harvey is waiting for you”. I explained, again, that there were no signs, but they were in her head. She actually heard me and I could see her thinking...then she smiled. That is what she wants more than anything....to be with my Dad.

Yep, I’m tickled to see all the storks again. Just love those gentle giants.
I checked up on Rasa, the black storklet that had a transmitter put on. That silly bird decided to stay in Africa apparently instead of migrating back to Latvia. It’s still in Ethiopia.
At least you could get audio at the YT site so it wasn’t a total loss tonight.

WOW! Lucky day! Especially after yesterday and last night.
Hmmmmm, that WAS an interesting sign. I’m surprised she was angry, though, since she wants so much to be with your dad.

WELCOME TO THE
(where our troops, allies
and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Hope everyone we "know" is safe from the storms.
Looks like the storm is moving in on us, today.
Heavy winds and rain; possible hail,
and tornado watch.
I had errands to run, but going to put them off until tomorrow.
I have the thread tonight and
hope the worst of the storm will be behind us.
If you do not see me tonight,
you'll know the power was knocked out.
Sorry I haven't been around, but I've been battling this cold,
and my Eada is sick, which is stressing me out.
She has her annual next week, which
I hope if she's still unwell, they can do more testing.
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

Playing bass is a bit different than playing guitar, as “you let your fingers do the walkin’”, and keep the wrist steady.

Oh...yeah...it was me! LOL!
Didn't sleep well last night
...so slept in a bit this morning.
Hope everyone has survived the bad storms!
They seem to be EVERYwhere lately!
All I'd like is a bit of rain, please!
Everything is so green and pretty now!
It's much better than drab "greige" of winter!
My roses are blooming
...which makes me very happy!
Anyhoooo....🦉....
Y'all have a Thankful Thursday!
((((hugs))))

Hi Luvy ((HUGS))
Thanks.
I’m sure Eada suffers from allergies, but this is different.She has not been eating or playing with Daisy.
They actually did x-rays to see if there was a blockage, as Eada likes to eat junk off the ground. They saw a shadow and kept her to do several panels to see if the shadow moved, which it did. So they think it is something that upset her digestion and will pass.
I fixed her an egg this morning so she ate that. Just hope she doesn’t expect that every day. LOL
