Representative Yates has proposed an amendment to existing Ohio dog laws.  HB 568 if amended would read: 

“A) Beginning ninety days after the effective date of this section, no person shall own, keep, or harbor a dog that belongs to a breed that is commonly known as a pit bull dog

B) Not later than ninety days after the effective date of this section, a person who owns, keeps, or harbors a pit bull dog on the effective date of this section shall surrender the dog to the dog warden. Not later than ten days after receiving the dog, the dog warden shall euthanize the dog”

Finn is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix (one of the many breeds known as a pit bull) - a rescue from the Humane Society.  How will I explain to my grandson why this guy had to be put to sleep (murdered) because of genetics and not behavior?

I worked so hard during this long weekend that even my hair hurts.  I have sor muscles that I didn’t even know that I owned - planting, cleaning, clearing, weeding, building the shed, tripping over things - sheesh, it was supposed to be relaxing.

Hope yours was less work than mine!

Well I did yesterday. 

S3 came over to cook ME dinner for Mother’s day.  First let me say that S3 has worked at a few 4-star restaurants, namely LeFever River Grille in Cuyahoga Falls and currently Solaire in Hudson. His primary role at Solaire is bartender but he also chefs in the kitchen as needed so he has a bit of experience.

So anyway, he brought his own ingredients (and a couple of his own pans - chefs are so picky about their cooking utensils) and prepared Chicken Marsala, garlic mashed golden potatoes and sauteed asparagus.  The dinner was delicious - but that’s not what made my eyes water.  After he had cleaned up the kitchen  - no that didn’t make my eyes water either - he brings me out a cup and saucer with some brown stuff in the cup, two strawberries and two layered chocolate chip cookies (yum) on the saucer - the cookies were good - but that’s not what made my eyes water.  The brown stuff in the cup was Molten Chocolate Lava Cake and OMG it was good - so good it made my eyes water.  I do believe this stuff could end all war and bring peace to the Middle East.

If you’ve never had this, it would be worth the trip to Solaire just to order it!

And the hubby thought everything was so good he asked S3 if he wanted to move back home - said that if he cooked like that for us every night, he could live here rent free! 

Took her around the neighborhood Saturday, then ventured to the gas station to fill up which required riding on a real street and stopping at a traffic light. The hubby still thinks this bike is too small for me but I am quite comfortable with her.  She responds quickly and only weighs a little over 300 lbs - so I am confident that I can pick her up if she starts to fall.  She is small - compared to the hubby’s bike

Check out the Sunday night into Monday & Tuesday forecast…. enough already!
