Lily’s last day of gymnastics. I thought I would have some sort of regret, but the teacher turnovers recently made it a blessing in disguise. The new instructor was talking down to the kids and was just a downgrade from every other teacher Lily has had.
Maybe this fall, she can start back up at a new academy. It certainly won’t be this one.

We got lots of fresh strawberries at the grocery store. Tonight’s dessert was simple and delicious.

I took a picture of the sun when I was trying to see Venus cross the sun.

I like making good dinners for my family, especially when I’ve been off for the day, but for days that I work, I’m working out shortcuts.
The chicken was pre-baked in the deli at Kroger. I went in the evening, so it was half price. That made it cheaper than the uncooked version in the meat section.
I cut up carrots and tossed in fingerling potatoes, followed by quartered onions.
I cut a lime in half and drizzled the juice over the chicken and vegetables. I stuffed the rind in the chicken. The other half was cut into 4 wedges and scattered with the vegetables.
I trimmed the cilantro and sprinkled it over the chicken and vegetables. I put a bunch of cilantro and 2 chunks of onion in the chicken with the lime rind.
Bake about 30 minutes at 350*F.
