. We stayed in Dunedin FL in January. Yesterday an "abandoned" eaglet from Kissimee FL was placed in a nest in Dunedin which already had 2 eaglets. The tree is behind a residential house. Looks like the Dunedin parents and babies have accepted the foster bird. Here is the video of it being placed into the nest.

Lynda White, Florida Audubon Society Eaglewatch coordinator, said, luckily, eagles have a poor sense of smell — and generally feed anything that seems to be eagle-like begging for food in their nests.
And eagles can't count. "That's why this works

TO OLDER FRIENDS

You may be growing older and your next step’s a mite bit slow;
You may not move as fast as once, but, oh, God loves you so!
You may think you’re not needed, that your work down here is through
But, my beloved oldster, God has a plan for you.
.
Your white hair shows the wisdom you’ve gathered through the years,
Your presence stands for victories; proved you’ve conquered many fears.
Your sweetness shows that Christ dwells within, His love in you abides;
As these virtues flow out from you, you’re blessing other lives.
.
Oh, don’t ever be discouraged, if others must wait on you.
You’ve done your share of service, just let His light shine through.
So, rejoice and live for Jesus and to others, His kindness show.
You’re still wanted and still needed.
You’re God’s Messenger, you know.

Author unknown to us. THANKS JOAN C. FOR SHARING THIS WITH US.

Dad's Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
.
.*6 Green Tomatoes *Salt and Pepper *Corn Meal *Vegetable Oil *2 Eggs, beaten .
.
( Here is a little tip about the tomatoes you choose to fry, when choosing your tomatoes, don't pick the lsrge ones always use the smaller ones they are so much better in tenderness and flavor. )
.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-1/2 inch slices. Salt and pepper them to taste.Dip slices in beaten egg, then in the corn meal. Fry in hot oil about three minutes on each side ( I use a large electric skillet to fry mine in ) until they are golden brown. Now sit back and smile.
.
You may wonder why I am talking about` fried green tomatoes here at 3 a.m. on this Thursday morning, here is the reason, I have talk with several people lately that were just not to well pleased with what they were served. And I am affraid that this might cause them to stop eating them .
.
Let me tell you the problem. It the cook not the tomatoes, If you will look at the recipe and go by it you will be telling every one how much you love fried green tomatoes.
.

The Fix
.
There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg Fl. Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the Economy?"I think this guy nailed it! _____
.
Dear Mr. President,Please find below my suggestion for fixing
America's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan":There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.It can't get any easier than that!!
.
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes...Mr.. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto! If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If not, please disregard.
.
.Why don't we have a good hot strong cup of Starbucks Coffee before we go any further. I beleive that I can do a better job if I do. Sit down and I will serve you.
.
Would you like to know how to produce better and larger tomatoes, well Dad knows how and he wants to show you. Just click on the link below. You will be glad that you did.

Hurricane Ike Brought Tomatoes and More
.
Tags: hurricane, texas
.
By Vanessa Richins.
.
When you think of hurricanes, you think of destruction.
That was true when Hurricane Ike landed in Galveston, Texas in September 2008.
Many of the island’s plants were uprooted and destroyed in the wake of the storm.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, 40,000 trees alone died in the chaos.
However, Galveston citizens received a nice surprise this spring when all sorts of plants started popping up. The storm had brought hope amidst despair in the form of seeds.
Burke Evans, a local resident, found tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupes, periwinkles, papaya trees and elephant ears. Pam Gilbert received petunias, a mulberry tree, and jalapeños.
The Christian Science Monitor recounts that Read the rest of this entry »
