Weekly Update

 It is Saturday again and what a week.  It is a nice Saturday morning - we just had a thunderstorm roll through.  In Nevada, we had thunderstorms but only a few times and they were very short.  In Oregon, we never had thunderstorms.  Lots of rain but no thunderstorms.  Here in Florida, we have had several in just the couple of weeks we have been here and I love it!

Eric has a local Money Is event this weekend for his work, so he didn't have to travel out of town.

So, what a week.  Sunday, we had the Volvo towed to the repair shop - Mitch, the Volvo guy.  The alternator was ruined by all the oil leaking from the crap job that the Oregon shop did.  He ordered the part but we are in waiting because he has another Volvo apart on the lift before us.  So currently, it is still in the shop and has been all week.

Our family has been dogsitting for our friends' dogs this week since last Friday.  We will take them home tonight.  It has been busy with four dogs and a cat.  Ha.

Also this week, Addie used the car for an interview on Monday.  After she got home, I went to go to the store and it wouldn't start.  We had to have that car TOWED Tuesday morning as well to a repair shop!  The starter needed to be replaced as well as the water pump and hoses which had a huge leak.  We picked it back up Friday.  $2,100.  Man, oh, man.

I worked on the garage Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  I think I have it in decent order for now.

We unpacked a good majority this week.  Getting close to the end.  Moving is quite the job.

That's all for now.  Have a great Saturday!

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.

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.
