How are you doing this Monday morning? Happy Memorial Day! I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is counting ships in the night but she will be up and about soon. The coffee is on and I am making my way to it. Any plans for the holiday?


I am still trying to play catch up with everything and it is going at a snail's pace let me tell you. The more I get done two more things pop up that need to be done, it is overwhelming I must say. I will get to my email and letting you know what we have been up to as soon as I can. We took a small break yesterday evening and we took Chris to the Pops concert in the park at Reid Park. We also took along Rosemary his caregiver,it was a nice time and Chris enjoyed to music.


Well, I had better get to it. We will get back to you later.

Good Night


Good Night All,


It has been a very busy day today but we got through it. I got some bad news today that my son JT dog died. Pepper was a Cockier and she was about 14 years old, JT and his Mom are taking the loss really bad. I got Pepper for JT when he was about 8 years old he raised Pepper from a puppy.


The restoration people were here again today to check on the fans and they are doing what they are supposed to be doing drying out the walls. The construction guy was here to get an idea of all that needed to be done and replaced as well. We will be glad when this whole process is over.


Elise and I will be heading out tomorrow morning at 5:30am headed for Las Vegas we will return on Friday evening. We are looking forward to the break. Well I had better make sure that I am all packed and I will take along our camera and laptop with us to keep in touch with whats going on.


Chat at you when we return.....................


Cheers..............


Good Night Jeanne.


Sis, we will be thinking about you and Shaina. Wish you were with us.


JT, we are so sorry about Pepper.


Tiger, have a great evening.


Marcie, take it slow and easy.


Ross, we will be pulling on the one armed bandit and we will say G'Day on every pull just for you and Denise.

Drying Out


Good Morning,


Mood: Water-logged


Music listening to: Up A Lazy River


How are you this morning? I started the day off at 5:15am caring for Chris. Elise is still drying out but she will be up and at it soon. There are 7 drier fans running in Chris's house and two large dehumidifiers as well. It is a problem a major one because I cannot brew any coffee because it trips the breaker box, and that is not a good way to start the day coffee-less.


I got some coffee to brew over in the main house, what a relief. I have many errands to run today. Elise and I will be leaving early tomorrow morning for Las Vegas for a couple of days to recoup, dry out, drip dry, and rest, at least we hope to. Wish us luck, OK?


Well, I had better get busy and get all of these chores and errands done. We will have our laptop and camera with us to stay in the know. Have a great day.

Later.....................


Good Morning Jeanne.


JT,thanks for the Obama info.


Shirlene, we are good but still drying out. Hey, you still have not sent me your mailing address.

Hello

Hello All,

Mood: Soaked

Music listening to: Cry Me A River, smile

How are you this fine day? I started the day off taking a swim in Chris's due to it had flooded overnight. We called the plumber and just as he was about to get his Jack hammer ready I looked under Chris's sink in the kitchen and I found that the water system tank had busted and it flooded the house. So now the restoration people are here to prevent mold setting in a 3 day process.

So we are still here but we are water-logged here in the desert. We will get back to you as soon as we dry up a bit.

How are you this morning? I started the day off at 5:00am looking in on Chris. Elise will be caring for Chris this morning. The coffee is very good this morning and I am a bit hungry for some reason. It is a warm 80 degrees already and that means we are in for a hot one today here in the desert of Tucson.


We had a very nice dinner last night over at Nanci and Jeff's home, it is always good to see them and to hear about what the kids are up to and how things are going up on the property in New Mexico. Do you have any plans for today? We are going to go to breakfast with Elise's Mom this morning to Village Inn. We may take Chris bowling his afternoon depending on how Elise's back is feeling. After Rosemary arrives this evening we are going to Reid Park to watch the Pops Concert under the stars. We will be taking along our emergency kit which will have in it two wine glasses, a bottle of red, napkins, nuts, popcorn, salami, bread, chocolate and the most important item, the cork remover, smile. We will sit on our folding chairs and relax and just enjoy the music. Elise's Mom will be there as well, way up front near the stage with the group that comes from the Forum where she lives.

OOOPS,

I knew I should have gotten a cup of coffee first thing this morning. I forgot to mention how are evening out went last night. Elise and I had a very nice dinner at Rio Cafe, it was Latin Fusion fare and it was very good.

Elise had Lechon, traditional Puerto Rican roasted pork shoulder slices, with Cuban black beans and rice. I had Chuletas de Puerco Empanizadas, breaded pork loin chops, with Moros y Cristianos, white rice and black beans together and tostones with garlic mojo. We shared a bottle of Shiraz that was pretty good, and we had coffee to top it off.

After dinner we went to Live Theatre and the play was very good and very funny. We returned home and I checked on Chris and we called it a night. I had better get some coffee now, eh?

Elise prepared a very,very good casserole for dinner, it was a tuna casserole. Let me tell you it was great, as a matter of fact I had seconds and I really pigged out on it. We also had lettuce, carrots and a couple of grapefruit and vodka cocktails.


I got a text message from JT today to let me know that Pres. Obama was at ASU to give the commencement speech for the graduates and that he was a part of the event. He is thrilled about that. Well, I had better get back to work, but you have a nice peaceful evening.

I am going to have to go inside and get some Pelligrino and a few lemon slices to cool off. I hope to be able to take it slow and easy for the rest of the day. I have a slight headache that has been hanging around for a day now. I bet I need some more sleep or something, eh?


We hope that your day is going well and we hope that you are staying cool and collected? Have a good one all.

Good Night,


Well , it has been a pretty good day. How about your day? Was it a good one? I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at her Mom's playing bridge. The caregiver arrived and I began the training process with her, she seemed very interested in taking care of Chris. Chris was giving her a hard time by not looking at her, he does that when he doesn't care for you to much. She will return on another day that is available to see what the morning routine is like with Chris. He can be a character when he wants to be.


We had a very nice dinner tonight that consisted of soup, sandwiches, tomatoes, pickles, and baby carrots. We washed it down with Pellegrino with lemon slices. Well, I had better get back to caring for Chris. Have a great night and a good day tomorrow.

After we took her home and Rosemary arrived to care for Chris we went to the Desert Diamond Casino and we had a nice time and we won a few bucks as well. A very nice evening indeed.

After the errands we stopped at Starbucks for a Frappacino and it was just great and very soothing in this hot weather. We returned home and Elise fixed breakfast for dinner. We had homemade mesquite pancakes with blueberry's, sausages, and hot coffee. I am stuffed. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at her Mom's playing bridge.


We had to start up the cooling today because it is just too hot. We hope that you day went well? I has better get back to Chris. Enjoy the evening and stay safe and cool.

Good Night,

Well, the day has come to an end and it has been a good one. After breakfast this morning I took Elise's Mom home and I stopped off at Blockbusters to pick up a video to watch later this afternoon. Elise is still caring for Chris and is getting him ready for a bio-feedback treatment and a standing frame workout.

Elise brought Chris over to the main house and we watched the DVD, Yes Man and it was very good and Chris liked it a lot. Later we played video games on the laptop until Rosemary arrived to care for Chris. We left to pick up Elise's Mom and we met Paula and Marty at Zemans for dinner. We had a very nice time and the food was great and we consumed two bottles of red.

We left Zemans and we drove over to Paula and Marty's home for dessert and coffee. Let me tell you it was delicious and I am so very thankful to the both of them. We had a lemon pudding pie, (I pigged out), three different kinds of ice cream, and some very, very good coffee. A excellent evening, that we all enjoyed very much. We left to take Elise's Mom home and we returned home to relief Rosemary for the night. I checked on Chris and I will make sure that he is asleep before I join Elise in the main house to call it a day.

We hope that your day was a good one and we wish you a fantastic upcoming week.

How are you doing this fine Sunday morning? I started the day off at 5:30am checking on and getting Chris settled. Elise will be caring for Chris this morning. The coffee is good this morning and Elise and I are sitting outside with the dogs and watching them play around.

Ann, and crew spent the night with us and they are still asleep. Yes, I am still bummed out about the caregiver situation because I don't get to have that much free time and when I plan something and it goes south it is very upsetting for me. I did enjoy my visit with JT yesterday it was very pleasant and it was good to see him.

We are going to the Broadway Cafe for breakfast this morning and I am very hungry this morning for some reason. This evening we are going out to Zemens with Paula and Marty and Elise's Mom for Ethiopian food. It is always a treat to go there, and it is BYOB and that is a plus, smile.

Well, I had better get this day started, we hope that your Sunday is a good one.
Later...................

Good Morning Jeanne.

Ross, sound like your weekend is a good one. Glad to hear that Denise is doing well.

Rosie, it is always good to hear from you and yes my visit with JT was a good one, thank you.

Paula and Marty, looking forward to this evening.

JT, it was good to see you.

Good Night


Good Night All,


Well today has been a different kind of day I must say. I spent some time with my son JT on break from ASU today. It was good to see him and to hear about what is going on in Tempe, Arizona. We shared slices of his birthday cake and it was pretty good. His birthday was 1 May.


Elise and I were planning on attending the premier of Lost River but that got changed due to no caregiver was available to work with Chris tonight, so we stayed home and I cared for Chris. Elise's sister Ann, Eddie, his sister Kathy and Paula and Marty went to see the movie. We were really disappointed that we could not attend it.


So we watched a DVD and made the best of the evening. That has been my day in a nutshell. How was yours? Hope a lot better than ours? Have a great evening.


Nite................


Good Night Jeanne.

How are things going? I started today off at 5:30am getting Chris settled. Elise is up and about she will be caring for Chris after she returns from her workout. It is a nice morning here in the valley and the birds are singing loudly. Any plans for the weekend?


I have to run a few errands this morning and that is about it I guess. Elise and I went to Colors last night and had a Jack and Coke. Afterwards we went to the Live Theater production of Lemon Sky, and it was very good and well acted out. After the play we went to Buddy's Grill for dinner, one of our favorite places to eat. We shared a shrimp cocktail, and we both ordered the Pork Chops with potatoes and veggies. We shared a bottle of Pinot that was pretty good.


We returned home and I took over from Kris who was caring for Chris. I got Chris settled and I called it a night. It was a very nice evening, indeed. We are going to go to a premier showing of a movie called Lost River at the Fox Theater tonight. We will meet up with Paula and Marty, Elise's sister Ann and Eddie, and Eddie's sister Kathy. The movie Lost River had its set design done by Ann's son Zack and we are anxious to see the finished product and to see his name in the credits. Exciting!


Well, I had better get this party started, have a good day and a great weekend all.

Later.................

Note: The photo above is the emergency kit that I received as a birthday gift from Jan and Lundy with the can of Coke and bottle of Jack Daniels from Jeanne. It will be used quite a lot when we attend The Pops Concerts at Reid Park.

Buona Sera!
