Happy 98th Birthday Grandpa Tony


Grandpa Tony wanted steak for his birthday so we headed to his favorite place, Timberlodge Steakhouse. Unfortunately, our arrival was greeted by a big red Dumpster® and a sign that read, "Closed Temporarily Due to Kitchen Fire."

Disappointment hung in the air, but not for long.

We scooted across the street where Rose and Tony discovered a new favorite Granite City Brewery. Staff and servers were kind, helpful and heaping of praise on our 98 year-0ld fella.

Grandma Rose added star power to her outfit with sunglasses that she found in the back seat on the ride over.

After a stop at the Dollar Store and grocery, both Tony & Rose were happy to return home for their afternoon nap.

Post your favorite memory for all to enjoy!
