March 2025 Memories

 The first two weeks of March were

absolutely beautiful, we enjoyed

some temperatures in the 50's and

even a day with 64 degrees

(that day the Mustang came out

for a drive).

The snowmobiles were prepared

for storage and put away.

The month ended cold,

some snow and forecasts for a blizzard.

~~~

Our girls trip to Duluth:

Fun stuff happening in our family:

Grand #2 and #4 had

choir concerts at school.

Their family also kept track of 

March Madness.

Grand #1 and #3 had

cars in a Grand Prix race.

Grand #4 is busy practicing

for her dance recital.

Grand #7 enjoyed the first part

of the month and the days outside.

Grand #5, #2 and #4

all made St Patrick's Day

art.

Baby chicks found a home.

Another busy busy month!

Happy Birthday!

        April Birthdays!

April 1st, Grand #4 turned

6 years old.

Her day was busy with school

and celebrating!

And plenty of April Fool's Jokes.

Grand #4 you are a blessing to our

family and we wish you the best!

Happy Birthday!

We Love You ~ Grandma and

Grandpa!

(we can't wait to celebrate in

a few weeks).

Visiting the Dog Spa

Spring time means mud, wet and 

dirty feet and 

a spa day for the dogs.

Before and After

Before and After

They both enjoy the days they

go to the spa.

Teeter came home so tired.

It is nice to have that crossed

off the list.

Glensheen

We visited the Glensheen Mansion,

starting with the Carriage House.

I have now visited 4 times, this is

the 2nd time to see all floors

including the attic. 

I believe the Carriage House was

different this time with the

buggy on the floor for display.

It was cold and windy so we were 

on a mission to just get inside 

(so no picture in front of the mansion).

They had Leprachauns hidden

for some additional fun for the

younger visitors (and older).  I think

we probably spied all of them.

The bathrooms so white and bright

with the white tile.

There will be no checking out the

grounds today, it is cold and trying

to rain or snow.  The bushes in the

garden are still covered for the winter

(they looked like people bobbing 

around out there).

The large formal dining room.

The pantry and kitchen area.

Looking to the breakfast room with the

fancy expensive tile.

The laundry room

It is always interesting and fun to

go with those who have never

visited.

I have read the book regarding the

murders at the mansion, I will have

to read it again.

We enjoyed a little shopping, had a

delicious meal at the restaurant by

the hotel and had a great evening

visiting.

Saturday arrived and after a quick

breakfast we all headed home.

Get Away to Duluth

We headed to Duluth for Mom's first

follow-up appt.   She will have several

over the next few years.

We scheduled some fun for the

day and overnight.

On our way to the Clinic/Hospital ~ it

was cold and windy.

Mom's appointment went well!

You can see the Canal area from

the Clinic/Hospital.

And Fitgers is right next door.

Our group:  Mom, I and our daughter

met up with Lineman's Gal (our daughter-in-law).

We headed to the Canal Park Brewery

for lunch.   Beer Cheese Soup was

the best!  And Mom enjoyed Walleye.

There was lots of laughter!  It 

was a fun time.

The weather was cold and windy so

we didn't venture out to the canal.

Then we headed to Glensheen.

Vacation

 Mom and Dad had been away

on vacation to the south where

it was warm (where the

alligators live).

They enjoyed time with family

and watching their granddaughter

in track and volleyball.

(pictures by others)

They are back home and waiting for

our spring to warm up.

Back to Snow and Cold

The cold returned and we got

a dusting of snow.

Teeter is supervising chore

time   :)

Spring Sunshine!

Soaking up the Sunshine!

The best part of Spring!
