What Is The Last Book You Read?

More About You Mondays

[This post is part of an ongoing blog series to get to know each other better. Have you read and participated in the other "More About You Monday" questions?]

***

I love, love, love to read. I have stayed up many nights, reading until the wee hours of the morning. I always regret not going to bed earlier when I can barely function the next day. But, it doesn’t seem to stop me from reading half the night the next time I pick up a good book.

Dave also loves to read. He usually has four or five books that he is working through. The stuff he reads boggles my brain. I read to escape. Dave reads to learn.

Lauren has recently decided she likes to read. She reads while walking down the stairs. She reads while eating breakfast.


This picture cracks me up. We are NOT morning people around here! Looking grumpy and half-asleep at 8:30a.m. is normal for us!

So, today’s More About You Monday question is: What was the last book you read? What motivated you to read it?

Saturday Afternoon Project

Today Lauren and I are sorting the cards people sent for Carmen’s adoption, birthdays, thinking-of-yous, and after she passed away.

Thank you to each and every one of you who have walked with us through the past four years. We treasure your encouragement, hugs, blog comments and all of the notes and cards you sent.

Four years of memories…

My Most Fancy Chicken Dish

I don’t really cook fancy stuff. We eat a lot soup, salad and sandwiches. We Dave grills in the summer. Occasionally I bake something chicken or fish.

I do have one fancy chicken dish. At least, I think it’s fancy!

It’s super easy too.

Prosciutto Goat Cheese Chicken (Even the name is fancy! :) )

Raw chicken breast tenders
Goat Cheese (or Feta)
Prosciutto
Butter

Place a slice of prosciutto on a cutting board. Put one chicken tender on top. Sprinkle (or dump if you like lots) goat cheese or feta on top of chicken. Wrap prosciutto around cheese, overlapping to make sure it stays inside. Saute chicken in butter until done. Yum!

My nephew, Dakota, is on his way to a food blog with this fancy version of Mac & Cheese. :)

Big Picture Faith

A few days ago, I posted this video, which was produced by a guy named Adam in South Carolina. Here is another story that will inspire your faith in God when things don’t work out the way you planned or expected.

Thanks Adam! Your work is inspiring and faith-building.
