Publican Quality Meats: Chicago

After my recent visit with Oprah, I decided to go for lunch in Chicago.  I wanted someplace close to Harpo Studios and decided to go with The Publican.  I had been there before and really enjoyed it.

YouTube: Bermuda

When I first started this blog in January I chose Bermuda as a starting point.  Since then I have also started a YouTube channel.  Today I used several of our Bermuda pictures to put together a postcard style video of our trip.  

  

Several parts of Bermuda are covered in the video.  Click on the links below to read more information.

Wild West Road Trip: Custer State Park Donkeys

As we continued our Wild West Road Trip, we headed south from Mt. Rushmore to Custer State Park. We had heard it was a good way to see some bison up close if you were lucky.  Turns out there were some other animals wanting the attention of the tourists....the wild donkeys.  I had read about them before we left, but forgot about it, to be honest.  I mean, I grew up on a farm in the south, so I have seen my share of donkeys.  It was the bison I was interested in.  But I have to say, the donkeys knew how to get attention!  

He just stood in the middle of the road and stared at you as you drove by.

My YouTube Channel

I've been working on starting up a YouTube channel with lots of travel videos.  So far I've made three. It takes some time to edit those things and as you know I have been focused on Louie.  But I wanted to show you what I have done so far.

Crazy Louie!

My last post was two weeks ago...and this is why!

We surprised our daughter with "Louie" for her birthday.  My kids have always wanted a dog, but I have never given in to the desire.  It always sounds fun, but then I talk myself out of it.  I am a pretty logical person.  Always thinking about the things that would make me not want a dog.  For some reason, those things didn't seem as important recently.  I thought if we were ever going to get a dog, now would be the time.
