It's been all about the national parks at Illinois' one-and-only national park lately. We've been getting ready for the big premier of Ken Burns' new mini-series: "The National Parks: America's Best Idea" on Sunday, September 27 on PBS. They'll be showing a 45-minute preview of the film to the public at the Lincoln Home on Saturday. The series should be pretty amazing--they've been working on it for six years. And of course anything Ken Burns does is top-notch. It will be exciting to see the series which will highlight America's natural parks and explore the history, meaning, and importance of the National Park Service. I've been writing press releases, site bulletins, and other materials to be handed out to the public on Saturday. Hopefully the series will increase interest in the national parks--which really are one of America's very best ideas. So be sure to tune in to PBS on Sunday evening! The series will run for two hours each evening from September 27 through October 2.
Speaking of national parks, here is my Natchez ranger friend and former roommate Jessica's cute dog Wilhelmina in the costume Jessica made for the annual "Bark in the Park" event in Natchez. Isn't she funny?! She's a little ranger dog!!! I wonder if Jessica could make an outfit like that for Kaiser. I am
very excited because on Thursday I get to go home to Utah for a visit!! I will miss Greg who needs to stay here to take care of work, school, and the animal children, but I am so excited to see family and friends. It will also be nice to have a little break from work. A few random things: I got a flu shot today, and Big Spike ate a slug the other day. He got kind of sick, but he seems to be doing a little better now.
