Saturday - Sunday - Monday

Saturday, 02/20/21 - the month is flying by, isn't that life! A cool morning, I made red beans (with rice) for dinner. Ford and AA watched the movie Space Between Us.
In the near future, Nathaniel Shepard, CEO of Genesis, launches the first ever mission to colonize Mars. During the journey, the lead astronaut, Sarah Elliot, discovers that she is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from eclampsia while giving birth to the first human born on Mars. The father of the child is unknown. In a dilemma, Nathaniel eventually decides to keep the child on Mars as a secret, to avoid a PR disaster for his company.
Sixteen years later, Sarah's son, Gardner Elliot, has grown up into an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who has only ever met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing. 
During dinner, we watched Always Be My Maybe. Sasha Tran and Marcus Kim are childhood friends who grow up next door to each other in San Francisco. As Sasha's Vietnamese-immigrant/refugee parents regularly leave her home alone while they tend to their store, Marcus's parents often have her over for dinner, and Marcus's Korean-American mother Judy teaches her to cook. Eventually Sasha and Marcus form a close friendship that carries on into their teenage years, but this is broken after his mother dies in an accident.
In 2016, Wong mentioned in a New Yorker interview that she and Park had been working for years to develop "our version of When Harry Met Sally...". Vulture's Jackson McHenry wrote a column in enthusiastic support of the project with the headline, "Dear Hollywood, Please Make Ali Wong and Randall Park's Dream Rom-Com." In May 2018, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Dae Kim, Michelle Buteau, Vivian Bang, Karan Soni, Charlyne Yi, James Saito, Lyrics Born, and Susan Park joined the cast of the film, titled Always Be My Maybe.
No Zoom Happy Hour this day, Hugh and Maureen had a scheduling conflict.
Sunday, I made biscuits, always Ford's favorite. 
Grating the frozen butter (no Crisco shortening) is my least favorite task!
We dropped off some books for Owen Bailey and restocked our wine supply at ABC Liquor. 
AA and I practiced golf, me for 40 minutes, AA putted and chipped for two hours, while Ford and I enjoyed drinks on the Talons patio.
Then we enjoyed time on our screen porch. From Facebook: Sunday evening, 60 degrees, enjoying a new Spanish wine on our screened porch, Ford is smoking chickens and pork belly. Ginger resting under the table. Many aloe plants abound (do you need one, I have plenty to gift). AA typing/adding to her novel. Life is better than we deserve.❤️ Blessed.

In the evening, I watched the finale of Miss Scarlet and the Duke and the finale of All Creatures Great and Small (while Ford and AA watched American Idol).
It seems like just yesterday that we were heading to the Yorkshire Dales for the first time. And while Episode 7 brought us plenty of Christmas cheer—mistletoe, puppies, an elf costume, and, most importantly, a canceled wedding for Helen and renewed hope for James—it's hard imagine waiting a whole year for Season 2! 
Monday, brought beautiful weather during the day. I worked from home and walked Ginger, plus AA and I picked up some trash around our backyard pond.
E-E's plant is blooming! It is "pot bound" so will need to transplant it someday.
Rain showers came just as AA was getting ready for her golf lesson, so postponed. We zipped to the library to check out a few movies (nothing good, tried watching a BBC Shakespeare TV show, Richard the VI with Hugh Bonneville, 2016, just couldn't get into it!). AA and I putted for about 30 minutes during a break in the sprinkles. We enjoyed leftover red beans and rice for dinner, quiet evening!
