I got my Irish Chain top together yesterday and even added the 2" inner border. Today I'm going to start making the seminole border. This is kind of a special gift so I'm going the fancy border as shown in Eleanor's book. Plus, I want to add a little more to the size.
LORI - we've camped at Big Bear. Loved it! We were in a beautiful campground. Lots of pine trees, my favorite tree. We happened to be in Site #1. And we usually fly the flag from our rig if no trees are in the way. People kept coming to us with problems, thinking because we were in #1 and had a flag flying that we were the hosts. One guy had somehow pulled his awning completely off his motorhome and wanted Bill to come fix it, which Bill did. Later the same guy came by with another problem - his kids had come in, used water in the RV bathroom, and run back out, leaving the water running, which emptied his fresh water tank. He didn't know what to do. (He was new to camping and had to break camp and go into town looking for more water). People kept stopping to ask us questions. We finally pulled down our flag! lol! But I"m sure Jonathon is having a great time there. I loved that whole area!
IRISH - Did you see it??! Eighteen fledged! Though they said it was more of a "fludge". He was dancing around on a limb to the left of the nest - and fell off and went tumbling down through the branches.
One of the other juvies was resting in the nest and went and looked over the side to see. I could only imagine what he was saying to his little brother. Anyway, he was eventually back in the nest, but they called that his official fledge, even though it wasn't quite so graceful as one might have hoped. It looks like there is a nest of blue jays in the bottom of the aerie. The juvies just watch them flying around. They look like cartoon birds when they go by the camera. Thank you one more time for turning me on to your eagles. Took us long enough to get to them, but what an experience watching them hatch and grow. Last night I sort of made my own Rice-a-Roni with rice and broken spaghetti noodles, browned, and cooked in chicken broth. Yum! And we grilled chicken, so tonite I'm going to make chicken fried rice from the leftovers. I'll add chopped celery, onion, and peas for a one dish meal. Bill will eat anything I put in front of him, but he really likes this kind of food, so he'll be happy.
What kind of food will be making you happy tonite?
yet anywhere we go there's hardly any workers.... how are they paying to live
