Saturday Night’s Alright . . . For Camping
As we mentioned in Friday’s post, we had had a rainy, gloomy week, but noted that the weekend weather forecast called for some beautiful weather. The forecasters were spot on, so we are so glad that we took the S-RV out for a weekend camping trip. After a day of being on the move, settling into…
Read Today's Herd StoryCampground Amenities
If you talk to enough RV’ers, you quickly learn that they have varied opinions about the best campgrounds and best campground amenities. Many of the RV resorts have cable television, swimming pools, and other entertainment activities. We, however, prefer state parks because they offer hiking trails, wilderness, and camping sites more comfortable for us (and…

Do you know how to respond to a Queen’s command? You obey it, of course. Especially when it comes from Queen Natasha the Evil. Our temperatures yesterday hovered just above freezing.

Twisting Turning Typhoon

Spring. The weather turns warmer. The grading equipment is repairing our dirt road from a winter of freezing and weeks of mud. The grass is starting to green (and Hu-dad is sneezing).

Read Today's Herd StoryDid We Achieve Tired Sibe?
Our Hu-dad’s most common mantra is “A Tired Sibe is a Good Sibe.” We are not sure why he believes that, but his goal for a beautiful, sunny Sunday was to achieve Tired Sibe. After about 7 miles of hiking in weather much warmer than this winter, Hu-dad loaded us in the Jeep and took these…

Winter may be wrapping up here, but the Hu-dad still appreciate his foot warmers under his desk. They do know how to spread out for maximum coverage.

Just when you least expect it, there is a surprise around the corner. Don’t believe us? Just ask Kiska. Yes, Hu-dad had stepped out onto the deck and Qannik was the first to greet him. We have explained before that Qannik suffers from a lack of respect of others’ personal space. Queen Natasha the Evil…
Read Today's Herd StoryPicky Eater
We have been explaining how we are working to put more weight on Typhoon, but we really haven’t described how much of a picky eater he is. Some days, Typhoon will just eat his kibble as given. Some days, he wants a little extra flavor added and refuses to eat. We tried lots of things…
