Every good food establishment has a kitchen inspector who makes sure things are being properly operated.

Read Today's Herd StorySqueezing In a Walk
We had a beautiful break in the weather Sunday and Hu-dad suggested squeezing in a walk. We haven’t had any measurable snow in weeks (very strange for this time of year), but we have certainly received lots and lots of rain. Walks around our house are on dirt roads, which mean mud roads right now.…

Read Today's Herd StoryBreakfast in Bed
Yesterday, Typhoon scored breakfast in bed. Quite the feat since he was already outside for his morning bathroom before breakfast was served. A little set-up to understand the story.

When you return to the house after a few days away, it is important to conduct a back from vacation inspection just to make sure that everything is as you left it. Fortunately for the Hu-dad, we have things well under control with Miss Kiska’s thoroughness (room by room).
Read Today's Herd StoryAnother Herd
Late December is not a popular RVing time, so we had the entire campground to ourselves. Well, we thought we had it to ourselves. Out for our morning walk, and we ran into another herd who thought they had the park to themselves, too. ***** ***** ***** ***** …
Read Today's Herd StoryQuick Weekend Trip
Our December has been warm and rainy, so a couple of days of sunshine was a pleasant surprise. Hu-dad decided this was the perfect time for a quick weekend trip in the S-RV (Siberian Recreational Vehicle). Thus, we have arrived at Big Ridge State Park and are already hanging out on our picket line.
