Hamilton - Disney Channel Surprise!

This week flew by so fast! 

Tuesday dinner was "Quaker Oat" meatloaf (my Mom's recipe), always good.

Thursday, I spent the night at Carolyn's and made two new recipes: Peaches with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto ham, basil. The second is canned white beans heated with red onion, vinegar, olive oil, parsley, dill and avocado added at end, right before serving. Both turned out good, will try again on Ford and AA.

Friday, AA played golf with Admiral Mark and Emmett, glad she had someone to practice with.

I came home from work on Friday (24th) and the family purchased the Disney channel for a month so we could all watch Hamilton. It was marvelous, amazing, best ever!  Two quotes were startling to me, loved them. I am sure there will be many more when we watch the show for a second time.

First: Burr "Had I read Sterne more and Voltaire less, I should have known the world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me".

Second was Eliza's afterwords at the end: "I stop wasting time on tears, I live another fifty years, it's not enough. What would you do if you had more...." She tells Hamilton's story and raises funds for the Washington monument, started the first private orphanage, in their eyes I see you, Alexander. Have I done enough? "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?"

I will now get a book on Hamilton's widow and learn more about her time, until her time was up. 

Saturday: AA had a golf lesson at 9:00 a.m., then we drove to BJ's to meet/shop with Carolyn; then to her home for lunch and a swim. No photos were taken!! After a short nap back at home, we did our zoom 5 p.m. happy hour chat with Hugh, Maureen, Kathy and Penny. Much was discussed about current events, politics, Sarah Cooper's tik-toc Trump spoken work impersonations (so funny, her gestures are too funny). We talked about voter suppression, the first hurricane hitting Texas tonight, AA's school and golfing all tied in with COVID-19! Always interesting.
