Michigan Pheasant Hunt Photos

Live From Michigan

Well, we made it to Michigan in one piece. I got to go pheasant hunting yesterday and it was an absolute blast (so to speak). I shot 2 1/2 birds--all roosters. How is that possible? Well, my friend and I shot one of the birds at the same time. It thoroughly died. I'll post the pictures once we get back to Kentucky.

Please notice the above picture--study it closely. Believe it or not, I actually saw one of these live and in person. Who knew that there were rednecks in Michigan. They used pop cans however--they must have been Baptists.

I am currently at the Great Lakes Chocolate and Coffee Company drinking coffee and putting down some of their famous truffles. Don't be too jealous.

Blogging From Indiana

I'm blogging live from the land of grains. Indiana is my native land and I enjoy coming back a few times a year. The day after Christmas my family and I will be heading up to Sturgis, Michigan to visit some friends of ours. We'll be treated to lots of chocolate and coffee (our friends are the owners of the Great Lakes Chocolate and Coffee Company). There's nothing like a big cup of their freshly roasted coffee and a plate of truffles. It's what dreams are made of.

I'm also going to do a little pheasant hunting while I'm up there. I always look forward to this time of the year when we can relax and reflect a bit. Just pray that my belly doesn't enjoy this too much!

Charles Spurgeon Honeymoon Suite

A few years back, my wife and I got to go to the Spurgeon Suite (at the Honeymoon Mansion) in New Albany, Indiana. It ended up being the nicest Bed and Breakfast that my wife and I have ever got to stay at.

It's hard to believe that there is a honeymoon suite named after Charles Spurgeon. There's a huge jacuzzi (see picture above) in a big room--complete with mirrored ceilings and walls. There are six marble columns that surround the jacuzzi. There are two rooms in the suite--a big bedroom and the jacuzzi room.

Spurgeon rocks! And so does his honeymoon suite. It's perfect for a romantic get away with your spouse. There's also a collection of Spurgeon writings in the jacuzzi room. The closest thing to heaven that you will ever get! I highly recommend it. I noticed, however, that the current owners have it on Ebay (see here). Hopefully, if someone new buys it, they will keep the name Charles Spurgeon.
