Day 4, March 17, 2020: Celebrate Something
Celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by making Simple Scones with almonds. It’s my go-to scone recipe and you can substitute yogurt for the sour cream. Ok, not the MOST Irish of activities, but boy did we enjoy them. Equally as good were The Lucky Irishman cocktails we enjoyed for our at home happy hour. Unfortunately, no Jameson in house so used his American cousin … Jim Beam.
My moment of realization came when I took a selfie to send to friends in Florida. Hubby in his tall green hat and me in my green-flowered tiara like headband. It was a nice gesture and they enjoyed hearing from us, but did I look pathetic! No makeup, no lipstick, my hair all a mess. So bad, there’s no way I’m going to post it here. Got to do something there, my friend, seriously!
Where am I going with this post? It’s nice to mark something special when every day seems weirdly like the day before. A friend aptly pointed out that we’re living Groundhog Day, just like Bill Murray. But back to celebrations….I’m hearing from tennis friends who are celebrating birthdays in their households and are doing a fabulous job of making the day special, even when the circumstances don’t allow for normal celebratory activities. Back to simple times, yes? Birthday cake and family.
What to watch tonight? I read a NY Times article with recommendations on what to stream, and settled on Giri/Haji (translation is Duty/Shame) on Netflix. Excellent! British series that debuted on Netflix January 2020. Partially in English and partially in Japanese with subtitles. Great acting, script, with a lot of action and human drama. We were riveted then and still are.
Call out to my nephew Nathan on what would have been his 40th birthday. Thinking of you Nathan!
