MLK Day and Betty White's 100th

Monday began very cold, in the high 30's, sunny. Brisk!
I put together the ingredients for chili in the slow-cooker, will be ready for dinner plus made Nana Joy's recipe for corn bread in a cast iron skillet, to be hot and ready when they arrived home.

AA is playing Round 3 and did not place, so they came home early.

Tuesday: Happy Hour was at Hugh's as it was too cold to sit outside at the River House. 33 degrees this morning! I made (for the third time) the fig preserves with blue chees crumbles on crudité and took a bottle of wine. Ford went to his hair cut appointment and we donated to the local animal no-kill shelter in Betty White's name.

Wednesday: Working at home every morning. It was a nice day so had drinks on Talon's patio. Made bruschetta for dinner.

Thursday: I worked (weekly meeting, I got a "kudos" from the team") and got my hair cut and colored. Cooked a pork roast, with scalloped potatoes (gift from Bill/Joan) and fresh green beans (from RAM market) for dinner. It was 77 degrees so went to the RH while AA golfed with Jenna, then played nine holes with Coach Bryan.

Dinner:

Friday: HER (renovation group/"handy-women") came over to take some measurements. We had brunch at Metro Diner. 

Temperatures are dropping during the day with rain tonight and freezing temperatures for the next few days. AA came home and got caught up on her homework. And did I mention that Fall Semester grades (officially posted 01/14/22) were all above 95! Straight A's again! Her weighted GPA is 4.4. We are so happy that she studies, uses her time wisely and is proactive with long term assignments! Pork tacos for dinner tonight - yum!

Saturday: Cold, dreary day. YUK! I made a mixed berry clafoutis (Clafoutis - French pronunciation: ​klafuti), is a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally black cherries, arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter). Always a delicious breakfast.

We attended (Zoom) a presentation (3:00 p.m.) organized by Bryan K. and Stephanie Eiswerth by fitness trainer, RJ Milford (and Holly) from Peak Level Performance. Now to decide about what/where to enroll AA. No River House Happy Hour as it is too cold outside and Hugh and Maureen do not want to sit inside.

Sunday: NFJG Tournament right here at EH (Separate post). Freezing morning!
