Indiana, Anderson - Tuesday, April 1, 2014 - Timberline Valley RV Resort

Maybe Spring is on the way, it was in the mid 60’s and sunny today.  The only bad thing was wind gusts up to 20 mph.  It really does need to get and stay warm soon.  We’ve been in Indiana two weeks now and since we’ve been inside because of the cold weather I’ve started finding things I want to change or rearrange.  Today I rearranged the laundry area and the utility closet.  Then a trip to Hobby Lobby was in order to check out some possibilities for a couple of other ideas I have.  Greg is still working on getting the track light like he wants it.  He’s worked so hard on this, I hope he really likes it when it is done.

Yesterday we had to go to Columbus to visit our dentist.  Greg broke a tooth while we were in Florida.  Luckily it wasn’t causing him any pain so he wanted to wait until we got back to Indiana to have anything done.  Going Thursday for a consultation with an oral surgeon to see about getting the rest of it removed.  Too bad Medicare doesn’t have a dental plan.  I know we could have gotten some kind of supplemental plan, but at the time it didn’t seem necessaryL

This morning we moved to a new site here at Timberline.  The site we were in was one of just a few that had a winterized water supply.  Today the water was turned on to the rest of the sites so we moved to one that will be easier for us to get out of and back into again.  We’ll be gone from here a couple of times during the summer so that will be important to us.  This site will also make it easier for us to get the motorcycle off the lift.

 

 

This evening we went to help daughter Desira and son-in-law Dan with the trap shoot they are running.  Not sure how much help we were this evening since we were “in training”.  But, we may be of more value the next time.  I think it was 2008 when Desira started trap shooting.  I remember getting e-mails from her where she was so excited to have hit 3 out of 25.  Now she can pretty much wipe them all out.  We are proud of her and Dan, they put a lot of work into this program.

We’ve been visiting with mom and dad.  They have moved in with my brother and sister-in-law and I think this has been good for mom and dad both.  Mom is getting along pretty well.  Dad is bedridden and hospice comes in about every day to help with some part of his care.  He is still aware of who we are and can carry on a brief conversation, and he doesn’t hesitate to let them know when he is hungry of thirsty.

I tried a new recipe that was pretty good:

Parmesan Baked Chicken Breasts

4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless

Mix together:
1 c. mayonnaise
½ c. parmesan cheese
1 ½ tsp. seasoning salt (we thought this was too much salt, will probably use just ½ tsp. the next time)
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder

Put the chicken breasts on a lightly greased cookie sheet and spread the mayo mixture on top of them.  Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
