Winterfest

January 16, 2009 |

It is a perfect, balmy Siberian day here at Chez Herd, as evident by our hu-dad’s weather station: Two obvious things you learn about our hu-dad from that picture.  First, yes he is one of those “got to have every cool gadget” type of guys. And, second, yes he is one of those “cheap, don’t…

Walking Wednesday

January 14, 2009 |

In a tribute to our pal, Khyra, here is our own version of Walking Wednesday (filmed on Sunday) as demonstrated by Natasha, Qannik and Kiska.

Natural Freckles

January 12, 2009 |

Unlike his siblings with the Mud Freckles, Rusty would like to remind everyone he has natural freckles (a/k/a Pickle Nose) just like his buddy Dave!  (Being a red head, they are a lighter than Dave’s, so click on the picture to get a close up).

Back to Work Day

January 5, 2009 |

Big Ridge State Park

January 3, 2009 |

Rusty would like to tell you about our adventures yesterday in his most wise pose. Cheoah would like to be clear that Rusty – her neighbor in the loft of the S-RV – is not wanting anything except his dinner, which is why he was sitting like that and acting so mannerly. Anyway, we went…

Harrison Bay State Park

Yes, we are on another S-RV Thundering Herd adventure.  Last night, we drove through the Nantahala National Forest and spent the night at Harrison Bay State Park just outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
