Little Bohemia Day-Part 1

Here are a few photos from our evening trip to Little Bohemia.
We wandered around after dinner and found this sign leaning up
against the wall in the garage.




They had a display case in the restaurant of some Dillinger items.
(I'll
post a few pix of that in a few days) Below is an old photo of
Little Bohemia
autographed by Johnny Depp. Notice that it is screwed
into the wall?
(Lotus, I know you will be visiting Little Bo on your
vacation this week.
I don't this photo will be leaving with anyone. *wink*)




We talked to our waitress about PE filming up at Little Bo.
She said that PE worked on the sets for 6-8 weeks, Johnny was only
there for 8 days of filming. She remarked that PE still had a lot of the
actual Dillinger items and they would be returned later. That was
why they didn't have as much as they typically have displayed.
She was told that Little Bo would be edited down to maybe 10
minutes in PE.



Little Star Lake...nearly looks like any lake...except for the
embankment
in the foreground...Dillinger's escape route.
More photos to come later....

WI Brewery Tour - Minocqua Brewing Company

I've been shanghai'd into doing a brewery tour of Wisconsin!! ...pinch me!!...I must be dreaming!!

Our first stop...
Minocqua Brewing Company

Minocqua has plenty of friendly folks with lots of great stories to share with a pint of beer! Great selection of beers! Sorry, no tours here at the moment, they're working on some fire damage around the brewing system.

Road-Kill Red Ale was near the top of my list with its caramel flavor, but it was beat out by a top-notch porter called Pudgy Possum Porter. Pudgy Possum has a warm dark glow with a hint of chocolate...(I have a soft spot for chocolate, remember?)

This Brewery was soo good we bought a "growler" of Pudgy Possum Porter for home.

Next stop....Wausau... Hereford & Hops Steakhouse & Brewpub!

Today's flavor is...

Rum Black Cherry!!!

We were driving through St. Germain yesterday and had to stop!! This ice cream had one of my favorite ingredients... Rum!!
Hmmmm, lip licking good!!

We got home late late late last night! I've got to crawl off to my quarter's for a nap. I'll come back later to chat...




One more VERY important item...
Are you keepin' an eye out for me ship? Just making sure you've got your binoculars glued to your montior mates!! We've got to find my ship, the Mother of Pearl, there's no other ship like her. I'll be needing her for the upcoming weekend loves...cheers!

Wanted...Captain Chinstrap!!!

Captain Chinstrap is the scoundrel who purloined my ship,
the Mother of Pearl. There have been reports of unidentified shipwrecks...
I have yet to identify any as the "Mother."

If you have seen this ping-guin, or have information on
his whereabouts or his crew, please leave a comment!

Thank you for your support in finding the "Mother."

Ping-guin!...not The Penguin!!


Dear Bloggers who are on the lookout for my ship, the Mother of Pearl--

Please note the photo on your left...it is a photo of "The Penguin" ....a villain from the TV series "Batman." Now we all can say that the ping-guin who stole my ship is a villian..Yes! But, he is not the ping-guin I am referring to when I say "ping-guin."

The villian ping-guin who stole my ship is a non-flying type bird who goes by the name of "Chin-strap." If you have any questions, or information...please leave a comment!

Thank you for your time and relentless hard work in locating my ship, the Mother of Pearl.

Jardin du Luxembourg...tree people!

G'morning all!
Last week the subject of the Wizard of Oz came up. Many of you remarked on the scary trees that grabbed people. That reminded me of my last visit to Paris, I came across one of these trees in the Jardin du Luxembourg. It was very tall and somewhat menacing. As far as I could tell, it was made of rusty steel. If this bugger ever grabbed you in the dark, it would scratch you limb to limb and give you nasty case of tetnus!

Well I'm off to continue searching for my ship the Mother of Pearl. Carry on loves!! (as you always do! *wink*)

Ping-guins stole me ship!!

The Mother of Pearl is missing!!
The other day on Minxie's blog, Laura reported that she saw ping-guins loiterin' around at the Zoo. I don't mean go off on a paranoia trip (can't cuz I don't have me ship) but, I think that the ping-guins are on the loose again!!


Flippin' ping-guins are really gettin on me nerves! I take a day off to sleep on the beach...wake up to find me ship is gone. Bugger bugger bugger.


If anyone has any leads to the whereabouts of the Mother of Pearl, please do 'ol Sir Jack a favor, (and I really mean this would be a huge favor to me, personally) leave me a post!!!

There will be a handsome reward to anyone who can help capture these slimy, two-legged, ship-stealing buggers and get me Mother of Pearl back in one piece.
