Even though I am home, which should keep the dogs calm, I now keep a kitchen radio on. It keeps the dogs calm and they are more restful, which helps King stay relaxed. Poor guy. He hasn't had any more seizures, but this last one was bad. Daughter ordered dog CBD oil. Vet meds are too harsh for him.
Tiger has been hilarious and a pain lately. He has been sticking his paw under our bedroom door again, and banging it back and forth at 4am. It's funny when you hear about it, but 4am? Then when I finally am able to let him in and keep an eye on him, he flares up and gets the zoomies like he just had a hit of catnip. So funny. Anyway, we got him a Kitty Villa and filled the bottom scratching pads with catnip. Thought everyone could use a good laugh. First time to figure out how to upload a video too.
I'm not on the hunt for a weather proof lock for the chicken coop. We will see what we can find to rig up security for my ladies.
Saturday the weather was so nice, we hooked up with 17 people and 12 motorcycles. Unfortunately, the couple that was leading the pack, and had the route planned didn't show up. We re-routed and still had an all day sanity saver ride.
However, that meant work for Sunday. It took all morning, but my husband got the chainsaw working again. We also got a new seal on one of the house doors. After that we took off on another short motorcycle ride.
Our 21 year-old's car broke down again last night. So tired of this. My car is still not back, so we are down a car again, and 3 working.
Somehow, in moving yarn out and back into my closet (thanks to the revolving doors of kids moving out and in), I could not find one of my afghan hooks. Sigh. I literally went online and ordered another one. I have no idea where it is, and you can bet your bottom dollar, that I will find it a year from now. Or today.
The weather outside is . . .
Nice! High of almost 80 degrees today.

Zuri, our one daughter's mountain cur/pit mix, is my chicken whisperer. Louise flew the coop yesterday and she helped me catch her by literally just standing guard and not letting her pass (she didn't make a move). Good doggie.
New Recipes we tried. . .
I made homemade garlic cheesy bread for the first time last night. It was delicious. The family gobbled it up. I made it to go with leftovers. The dough was pretty easy to make too. Recipe is free online at
I also tried the Cheesy Chips in the Food Babe's cook book. I used store bought tortillas, while I'm waiting on supplies to try her recipe for homemade corn tortillas, and the first batch was not crispy. I had to bake them 30 seconds longer for the crispness, and used too much of the topping on the first, and didn't have enough for the second. Next time I'll split it in half before sprinkling it on. They do have great flavor though. Overall, I think the homemade tortillas will work much better.

Our President, America, our state, for the virus to go away, King, and any personal requests. Our daughter's car to be fixed, and finally fixed.
