We enjoyed a nice morning, I jumped into work for a few hours. Ford and AA did the grocery shopping. Then AA and I went shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods Store (gift cards from my Mom were all spent!). Golfing polo top, golf shoes and sport bras were bought.
AA had a golf lesson with Coach then played some holes with Cambree. We went to the River House for a short visit, still very windy (white caps on river) but enjoyed the brisk air. Our Happy Hour friends declined but we did enjoy a nice river view. Talked briefly with Paul, Bob, Big John (Paul was feeling poorly and they called 911 to check him out). Saw Steve for the first time in a year and he was his usual self!

For dinner I made a new recipe called Very Green Orzo by Ree Drummond. Show: The Pioneer Woman, Episode: Quick and Easy: New Favorites. It has many green vegetables and herbs in it, we all decided it was delicious. Total: 35 min Active: 30 min
Yield: 6 servings. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil4 green onions sliced, green and white parts
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cups orzo
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, warm
1/2 pound skinny asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 bunch broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, trimmed, quartered and cut into 2-inch batons
5 ounces frozen green peas
1/2 cup julienned kale (ribs removed)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
Directions:
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, then add the green onions and saute until softened, about a minute. Add the garlic and chili flakes and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add the orzo, salt and pepper to the pan and toss to coat the grains, a minute or two. Add the warmed broth and gently stir. Allow the broth to come to a simmer, then cook for 5 minutes.
Add the asparagus, broccolini, zucchini and peas. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the kale, Parmesan and lemon zest and give it a good stir, then allow to cook for another 2 minutes. Add the herbs and stir to combine. Serve in bowls topped with Parmesan and additional herbs.
Tuesday: Beautiful day! AA was back to school, I worked from home and got my haircut/color today. AA and Ford headed to the driving range. I made a new recipe - Spinach Pie.
Wednesday: Walking Ginger near the pond, a "free" grapefruit tree in bloom.
Ford made "air fryer salmon" for dinner, a new favorite!
Thursday: The weather is warming into the 80's! Work and School, nothing unusual. AA played six holes on the back of the golf course with her Coach after their 4:00 p.m. lesson (chipping and pitching).
Carolyn arrived with eggs and stayed for dinner of homemade pizza.
How did I not take any pictures of Carolyn!
Friday: I made waffles in honor of International Waffle Day (a day late, was on the 25th - BUT National Waffle Day is on August 24th!).
Work and school again. AA finished her CVA physical science class with a score of 96. She has one more lesson for her CVA World history, then will be done. We found out that she has to take the 8th grade science state test even though she took the class last year as a 7th grader, trying to find refresher material for her!
After school AA played the back nine holes with Kalia, Cambree and Jenna with Coach Bryan. So nice he takes them out together, they will be the top four of five girls on the high school golf team next year. Took a photo from across the street to Hole 18 (AA in darker pink shirt):
Here's the FIHS Team Names for 2020-2021:
Saturday: Lazy morning (I did two hours of APTIM work), then Ford and AA off to the grocery store. We had leftover chicken tenders (from FI Meat Market, dinner last night) and then AA practiced golf until 4:15 p.m. AA stayed home while we joined our Happy Hour group at the River House. The weather was in the high 80's and we thought we would be hot outside, but it turned out GORGEOUS. Slight breeze with the sun setting behind the trees. I rarely take pictures of our group, but they seemed amiable - so I could send them to AA, who stayed at home.
Ford cooked steaks (ribeye) for dinner and AA continued her countdown to Easter:
Off to bed on time, as Ford and AA must leave the house by 6:15 a.m. for the Amelia River NFJG tournament.
