Down Right Chilly

The high yesterday was 1F or -17C...and the low was -17F or -27C eh!  We did not go outside.  No need to go anyplace.  We hear it may warm up by the weekend.  Schools were two hours late...other than that things ran as normal.

Photo of a Jack Pine cone that I took a number of years ago.

Far Guy is working on some of his wood carving projects.  I crocheted for awhile and then had a nap. 

Supper last night ( Tuesday) was comfort food; pork roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted carrots and fresh strawberries and kiwi. 

Monday evening Jen and Andy took us to Harry's Steakhouse for Far Guy's birthday and of course we had steak! 

Sadie is very happy that her people are back, perhaps a little less happy when they gave her a bath:)

Cool

 Andy and Jen just retuned from a getaway in Saint Martin.  Sadie missed them while they were gone but as you can guess she was in good hands. 

The kids said it was 100 degrees warmer there than in Minnesota....who knows with our -30F to -40F windchills it could have been more than that. 

We are in the deep freeze for a few more days.  

In other news...Peach now has step throat as Cee Cee shared the germs...so far Hey Mikey is okay.

I have several Doctor appointments this week; one with the Spine Clinic and one with the Pain Clinic.  I have more Doctor's appointments than Far Guy...that rarely happens. 

Stay warm!

Welcome Gunnar!

 I did not quite get his blanket done before he was born. 

9 pound 11 ounces of healthy baby boy Gunnar!  Grand child #12 for my baby brother and his bride. 

Gunnar joins his siblings; Turner, Jordyn, Otto, Tallulah (LuLu) and Bjorn.  They all belong to my nephew and his beautiful wife who live in New Jersey.  We will get to see them all when they visit Minnesota next summer! 

I finished his blanket yesterday and will get it in the mail when it warms up...we are back in the deep freeze again. 

The yarn is Baby Bee Snugs and Kisses in Blueberry and it is a simple double crochet.  I used three skeins.  ( Hobby Lobby yarn)

Matching Valentines!

 Maddie sent photos of the girls all dressed up for Valentine's Day at daycare. 

I found the dresses on sale...no doubt they were supposed to be Christmas dresses but hey they are red and have a bit of sparkle in the skirts.

Peach 20 months old

Cee Cee just one month shy of her 5th birthday 

I think our Great Grandgirls are just as cute as can be! I have Valentine's bags for them...but we hear Cee Cee has strep throat so it will have to wait until she is all better!

Far Guy says Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

 Happy Birthday Far Guy!  It is one of those milestone birthdays!  I am thrilled that he had another birthday, in 2024 he had two very close calls with Influenza A, Pneumonia and Sepsis.  So this is a bonus year!  

We still live a very hermit like lifestyle...staying away from crowds and people who wear perfume and aftershave.

 

Happy Birthday!
