S is for Salmon.

My husband and I both love to eat salmon. But I think he got tired of me fixing it the same way every time. He saw one day on America’s Test Kitchen a new way to make it. Mix together soy sauce and maple syrup to make a marinade and glaze for your salmon. It is so delicious! We use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos rather than soy sauce for an even healthier choice. Grill the salmon with this glaze and it stays moist and tender with a really delicious flavor!

R is for Running.

I’ve been doing a lot of that in training for the upcoming New Year’s Day half marathon! I was so happy that I did 13 miles today and know that I will be able to finish the half! I almost decided that I like it better than the triathlon because there is no swimming! I think I would rather be running than swimming!

Q is for Quick Shipping.

I’ve been doing a lot of Christmas shopping on line this year. It has been great. No long lines or crowded stores. No traffic. I have found most everything I wanted to get. And the shipping charges have not been too bad. I also love quick shipping. I still have one item that is not here yet, but I see that it is on its way. I appreciate these sellers quickly shipping the items out so I will have them in time for Christmas!

That’s right, it snowed here last week! This is an unusual occurrence and everyone was excited! The kids all stayed up late playing out in the snow, but so did the adults! There was a neighborhood snowball fight including all kids and adults who wanted to join in! The kids made huge snowballs to build into a snowman.  All the teenagers came by about 10 pm and started a whole other snow fight!

O is for Opportunity.

Coming up on Dec. 13, 24 Hour Fitness is going to provide an opportunity to serve the community as well as an opportunity for kids of the community. Going in at the Third Ward, 24 Hour Fitness and Kaboom! are building a playground for community children. Members of 24 Hour Fitness are encouraged to sign up to help build the playground. What a great opportunity to make some kids happy and to improve the community!
