Goodbye April!

 Here we are at the end of April!  Our first April in Florida.  And I loved it!  Even in the last week of April, it is still in the 50's, dreary and rainy in Oregon.  I am so happy to be soaking up the sunshine and warm temperatures here in Florida this April!

April was a busy month.  One of the biggest events was going to Ohio to help my mom and dad after my dad had a stroke.  I am grateful it worked out for me to do so.  

A few more 2024 goals that were completed:

I got new glasses and contacts.  I had my prescription updated to progressives and that has helped a lot.

I visited my parents one time in Ohio so far for this year.

Preparation for college with Autumn is well underway!  CLT exam and entrance exams done, forms submitted, fees paid and more.

We attended College Days at PCC.

I purchased my garden beds and am setting up my garden this week.

We got furniture and decorated my bedroom.

I joined a couples small group at church.

I am up to date on The Bible Recap with my Bible reading.

We finished our contributions to Autumn's college fund!!  And not only that, we also finished our contributions to Sierra's college fund!!!!  That was a very unexpected goal met that I really didn't think we could do but so excited we did.  

I am behind on my classics reading but will be able to catch up after school is done.  

Goodbye April!

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.
