My Drive From Reno, NV to Newberg, OR

I thought I would share my photos from my drive from Reno, NV back to Newberg, OR. I do thoroughly enjoy the drive - I have done it several times now but it doesn't get old. :)

The mountain ranges...truly my favorite.

Sunrises are most spectacular.

And what is this I see? Oh, it's only more snow on the first day of spring. LOL! Pretty sure I hit snow every time I drive this trip!

Fun times but it is pretty.

I passed by this large herd of deer and had to stop to take a few photos!

Then just before Susanville, I saw these two beautiful coyotes running full speed along the edge of this lake! Wow! I really enjoyed that! It reminded me of the story in On the Shores of Silver Lake when the wolves ran along the lake in the moonlight in the Little House books.

The sun did come back for awhile with some blue skies!

That's Mount Shasta in the center of this picture. Beautiful!

Then, it clouded up again going over the Willamette Pass and I hit more snow.

Desert and mountains, snow, rain and sunshine, and back to green fields all in one day. :)

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup mayo 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined. In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Dredgs each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then in the cracker mixture, and set the chicken aside on a plate.
