Camera Critters-Goats...Part of the old sod??


"Al Johnson’s is an authentic Swedish family owned restaurant where you can find goats grazing the sod roof. It's quite a sight, and it's made this place one of the most famous restaurants in Door County, WI. Inside the casual, carpeted dining room, young ladies in Scandinavian garb dish out limpa bread and Swedish meatballs.

The menu consists of a variety of Swedish fare, from pancakes with lingonberries to Swedish meatballs, whitefish, sandwiches, salads, and a variety of hot and cold plates."


To learn more about the history of the restaurant, to see the photo gallery and learn the history of the goats who are on the roof of the restaurant, go here.

Getting Your Goat-Camera Critters

City kids don't see farm animals too often.  While vacationing on Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin this summer, Olivia's favorite place was the Farm Museum, which had old farm tools, buildings, and small animals.  If you would like to see more Camera Critters, check this meme.

ABC WEDNESDAY-"F"-Farm Museum Animals


There are just a few small FARM animals at the FARM Museum on Washington Island, primarily I suppose because it's easier for the volunteers to take care of rabbits, chickens and goats rather than larger animals that would require more attention and time. As it is, the volunteers do a wonderful job with this small musesum. Granddaughter Olivia had a wonderful time feeding the animals.

What a week this has been; won't go into all the details, but my internet service is still not up to snuff. The new modem I received today is defective so I'm using the ethernet cable 'til I get a new one. Sigh!
