Review: Golden Prey by John Sandford

Oh John Sandford, you got me again. The first few pages made me think Lucas Davenport was somehow reverting to his old self. What happened to Weather? Did quitting his job with the Minnesota Bureau send him off the rails? I vowed to stop reading if he was reverting to his pre-Weather days (even though I knew that wouldn't be true). Thankfully Lucas was just on a new job! Davenport is a new U.S. Marshal, free of all the things he hated about his last job.

Lucas takes on an old case to track down a killer who likes to steal a lot of money and kill people in the process. No one has ever been able to track down the criminal called Poole, but Davenport is determined he is going to be the one. There is a lot of action, excitement and shooting in this book. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The 400 pages went by super fast, and it left me wanting more. Well done!

If you haven't read this series, start today. I am not kidding. Rules of Prey is the first in the series.

Chicken Quest

I have been wanting chickens for years and years, but I am a city girl and chickens didn't seem like something I could have. But I was wrong! In November 2018 our city council passed a chicken ordinance and suddenly my chicken dreams seemed like they could come true! I spent last winter reading everything I could find about chickens and researching everything having to do having chickens in the city, and what types of coops would be best. Our local pet store orders chicks from a local hatchery, and I decided to get chicks from the May shipment. I read about each of the types of chicks in that shipment and decided to get an assortment. After confirming with the neighbors that they wouldn't object to chickens, I ordered five chicks (the maximum amount allowed by our city accordance). I decided to order two Dominiques, one Colombian Wyandotte, one Calico Princess and one Midnight Majesty Maran. Step one of the chicken quest was underway, so I started to fill out the chicke

Sunday Meal Prep

I have had several people ask me lately about my Sunday meal prep day. This is something I have been doing pretty consistently for a while, not just since I joined Weight Watchers. I spend a few hours in the kitchen on Sunday afternoon and prep as much food as I have the time and energy for. Some weeks I am able to prep a lot, and some weeks just a little. At the very least I prep my snacks for work and at least a few of my work lunches. On a good week I can do all of my lunches and some dinner prep too. Sometimes food prep just involves planning. I eat pretty much the same snacks every day. My morning snack is a light string cheese, 7 almonds and an apple. That is easy to prep. I put the string cheese and almonds in a snack size bag and grab an apple each day. My afternoon snack varies a bit more, but usually I have vegetables in some form so I chop as many fresh vegetables on Sunday as I can. Easy to grab. Sometimes I make a low point dip to dip my veggies in, and I mak

Week Three Update...it's a Journey

I have been living with the Weight Watcher Smart Points plan for a little over three weeks now. I shared a bit last week about my new journey. It was hard (and a little embarrassing) but the wonderful and supportive comments I received made it worthwhile. I know, despite how it feels sometimes, that I am not the only one who struggles with eating right, staying active and losing weight. My son hunting eggs So I decided to go ahead and keep sharing, if I motivate just one person it's totally worth it. And since it's currently cold, cloudy and rainy at the end of April when I am writing this, it might just motivate myself to go down to the basement and hop on my elliptical. I weighed in Saturday, my third weigh in since joining, and was happy that I was down another 1.2 pounds, for a grand total of 7.4 pounds in three weeks. Since it was Easter week and my goal was to stay the same I felt super happy to have a loss. Especially since the scale was up more than I wo
