What Is A Cat?

Gentle eyes
that see so much,
paws that have
the quiet touch.

Purrs to signal
"all is well"
and show more love
than words can tell.

Graceful movements
touched with pride,
a calming presence
by our side.

A friendship
that will last and grow,
small wonder
why we love them so.

I WATCHED IT ONCE TO LISTEN TO THE SONG AND AGAIN TO READ THE MESSAGES ON THE SCREEN.

Beautiful!

Please take the time to watch the whole video. It will make your day.

YOU’LL ENJOY THIS AMAZING BIRD!

What a beautiful creature! Enjoy the video! Truly amazing!
Read the narrative before viewing.

Music video featuring a special free-flying Bald Eagle named ‘Challenger’ (in honor of the lost space shuttle crew) cared for by the non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF).

He’s a ‘human-socialized’ bird accidentally raised by the people who rescued him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a storm as a baby in the late 1980s. Declared ‘non-releasable’ by federal and state wildlife authorities, he was trained by the AEF to perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events.

He’s the first Bald Eagle in U.S. History that learned to free-fly into stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting events like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National Championship, Fiesta Bowl, Men’s Final Four, etc.

Challenger has also flown before 4 U.S. Presidents!

His life story is told in a children’s storybook titled ‘Challenger, America ‘s Favorite Eagle.’

Hi GeeBee! Strangely we are expecting only one snow storm this week, coming on Wednesday.

Did you get your cold January thaw? Weatherman said instead of 50-60, we'll have to accept the 37 we got yesterday. Now that's a cold winter.

Hi, Jaycee! How’s it going?

This will be the first weekend in 5 or 6 weeks that we won’t have a snow storm. Sunday snow storms have been canceled this week, a blessing for 9 to 5-ers.

Guess you all are happy about that!! I was hoping we would have one real nice snow during the season but so far its snowed a little and frozen a little to make driving difficult but nothing like you all have!

Its not too late for us to get snow though, it could happen!
