Friday Five


This week's favorite:

1. Movie: "12 Years a Slave". Very powerful. I assure you, it will keep your attention the entire 134 minutes.

2. Book: Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier. After plowing through all three of the Divergent books, I was eager for something new. Just started this book about two women in 19th century England who form an unlikely friendship and start finding fossils together. Sound dry? It's not. Excellent read so far.

3. Recipe: Swiss Chicken Casserole. This casserole has a little bit of everything in it and never disappoints. My revisions: cut the chicken into bite size pieces, and add a bag of frozen veggies. Voila! Dinner is served.

4. Park: We found a great new park when we visited a friend in Greenfield this week. It's called the Greenfield Energy Park- what a little gem! It has a real caboose that the kids can climb around on, a stage that looks like a train station, a wooden train for the kids to play on, and little paths leading every which way. We had  a blast exploring it. Train tracks run on both sides of it, and we got to see one come through when we were leaving. It was definitely a reminder to always keep an eye out for new parks to explore! There's so much around us.

5. Realization: Working two jobs in town means I really get to know more of my neighbors. I like feeling connected!
