Taking Minnie to Madison


As most of the loyal readers know Minnie was hit by a car. You can read grandmas update on Minnie here. Minnie Rose. Grandma and I took Mini back to the Madison emergency animal hospital for her check up to see how she was healing after all the surgery. Everything checked out well and Minnie is recovering to the best that could be expected.

While waiting for Minnie to have her exam at the animal hospital Grandma and I found a place to park and look at the lake in Madison. As you can see in the picture above it started to sleet. This was the first time of this winter season that we had sleet.

When I was a child I remember Grandma and Grandpa taking me to a restaurant in Janesville WI called Shakeys. Grandma and I were going to see if they were open and we sadly found that they had gone out of business. So we were forced to find another place to eat on out way home.

Grandma and I found a place in Janesville called Milwaukee Grille it wasn’t busy so we decided to go in and check it out. We both ordered their special Chicken thingy and onion fries. Lunch was very good and more food then either of us could finish.


Serenity and Puzzle


The beginning of the puzzle

The finished product

Hello Jim, Patsy & all the rest of you that come visit this site. I thought this would be kind of interesting. Serenity is one of my great granddaughters. She will be 6 years old Nov 15th. She loves to work puzzles when she spends the night or comes here after school. I think her working this and completing it by herself is out standing. (of  course I think that, I’m her grandma )


Minnie Rose


Update on Minnie ( she was hit by a car Aug. 31)  Took her to vet Monday and had staples removed. Finally got to give her a bath after 3 weeks. All look good so far. She’s still having a little trouble using her left leg but  everyday she improves.
