Winter Cold and Jessie's Birthday

Today is Jessie's Birthday and yesterday was Victoria's Birthday. My How the Granddaughters grow! Hard to believe another year is past. Being the Grandma I sent them their cards, but also having been sick this past 2 weeks I was late sending them. As if that wasn't bad enough 1 came back today, I didn't put a stamp on it. I knew I was really sick this past 2 weeks, but that takes the cake.
Just before i got sick i Bought a large pork roast about 22 lbs. Today Ken and Jack took it down to the saw and cut it in 3 pieces for me. So I cooked up 1 piece for supper tonight. It was very good and I cooked up apple sauce from a couple of apples , mashed potatoes, and of course carrots ( one of the veggies that Jack will eat, so I try and cook some every time he comes for supper). and Gravy with whole mushrooms ( I got a big bag marked down and have been using them everyday since we got them. I have enough left for tomorrow night's Chinese food using some of the leftover roast pork, and making a sweet and sour,pork strips to go in a big stir fry, I'll serve it over rice. Well, I'll serve the rice on the side and the stir fry can go over it on the plate.) The stir fry should use up the last of the broccoli , cauliflower, and mushrooms. I'd like to clean up all the veggies before I go grocery shopping again.
Ken's vehicle is still working great. After that was fixed he fixed the tractor that broke down and then they did Jacks truck , of course the weather was cold so the fuel pump and a sensor went in it while he was on his way to town. It took a few days for the fellows to get all the parts and get Jacks truck fixed , but the last part came and they finished it all today!
My friend Louise, sent me a site to watch a blog in Edmonton,

I think it will be a very interesting blog to follow along with for the next month, and am looking forward to hearing how this blogger makes out.
Well, my head is still pounding, so will stop for this evening. It sounds like we will soon be having days on the plus side of 0 as a regular occurance. I am so glad, I am tired of snow, and cold, and my head ,chest cold in particular.
Spring tonic is much needed.
