After Angelica arrives this morning I have several errands to run. The coffee is good this morning and I think I will have a brochen with a little butter on it as well. Is it hot around your way? Yesterday was perfect here but that is only temporary here in the southwest desert.

We are going to go out for breakfast and later in the evening after Rosemary arrives to care for Chris we will be a Reid Park to listen to the Pops Concert. The coffee is good this morning and I am looking a glazed donut but I will have to hold off until after breakfast.

We hit 100 degrees the other day and from now on that is the way it is going to be,(HOT). Well, I guess I have to tell you this, eh? I went to the DDC to get our perks and I decided to play the slots for a short while. I am glad that I did. I won let me tell you now, $4000.00 dollars and the $1.00 slots. I was in shock and I had to call Elise to let her know what had happened. Now that is how you start a three day weekend, am I right? I will stop in at the casino next week and pick up my perks again, cha ching!

We had a wonderful evening with Loraine and Jim at Neo of Melaka. It is a Malaysian restaurant and the food is very good. I tried a Ginger martini and it was very good, so good that Jim ordered one as well. After dinner we all meet at our house and we played Wizard. This is were the (beat down) occurred. I have been taunting Loraine about her getting (beat down) for the past few days. I was the one who got (beat down) badly I must say. Next time Loraine!

A few days ago was Loraine's birthday , so last night Elise prepared brownies with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was fantastic! There was a balloon for Loraine, a nice flower, a card and a good bottle of vino bianco. Elise and Jim shared a bottle of bianco vino and Elise and I downed a bottle of Gruet champagne that is always good. It was a fun evening and we are looking forward to our next get together.

Well, I had better check on Chris. Have a wonderful Sunday.

The coffee is good this morning and I am thinking about something that might go good with it, but I am drawing a blank.

We are going out for dinner this evening with Loraine and Jim and then we will meet up at our house for a game of Wizard or Yahtzee. We are prepared to hand out a good beat-down,smile.





We enjoyed our evening out last night that started at Colors for a couple of Jack and Cokes. Then we went to The Live Theatre Company to see " Taking Steps" it was very good and very funny.

We are going to go to Colors this evening after Marv arrives to care for Chris. We will get a couple of Jack and Cokes and relaxed for a few, prior to going to the Live Theatre to see a play. After that we are going to Applebees for a light dinner and a bottle of red,of course.

I have a couple of errands to run this morning. Angelica will be here to care for Chris. Elise fixed a very nice dinner last night. We had tamales, tomatoes, corn on the cob, and tiny potatoes. We got it all down with a martini, followed by long island iced tea, yes we did.

We watched a couple of DVD as well. One was Daddy's Little Girls and the other was called Broken Arrow. The later was very interesting about what happened to the Navajo and the Hopi in the the four corners area here in the west. It was very disturbing to say the least. Later we worked on crossword puzzles until Elise hit the sheets. I watched a little TV until Rosemary left for the night.

Well as promise the above photos are of our tent that I put up to see what it would look like. I did not stake it to the ground not did I put the top over it. It was fun putting it up. Lampchop watched me the whole time while I labored very hard. Just as I was about to say a few choice words, (@#$%, *&^%, WTF) Elise came out to give me a hand and we did it. We love the tent. It is a 8 man sleeper with two windows .

We are going to go to the Gaslight Theatre this evening to see a live play. We will meet up with Donna, Chris massage therapist and Angelica will be joining us as well. It should be a fun evening. Well, I had better get to work. Have a wonderful day.

It's a Monday! I started the day off at 4:35am caring for Chris. Elise is still deep in la-la land, but she will be taking names and kicking butt shortly. Any plans for today? We will be taking Chris's van in for routine services this morning and I have one errand to run this morning.

I was awaken this morning by a dream that I was having. I was going out to get the newspaper and who did I see coming up the walkway? It was my brother Herman carrying two cases of soda. I was in shock and I took the soda from him and I asked him to come inside and he did and then he was gone. I woke up! Weird, eh?

We had a great dinner out with Marty at Zemams and we downed two bottles of wine and the food was great.We talked about Paula being in Mexico and about Marty's plans to join here there in a few days. We returned home and we worked on crossword puzzles prior to Elise calling it a night. I watched TV until Rosemary left for the night. I checked on Chris and I followed Elise in calling it a day.

How are you this fine Sunday morning? I started the day off at 5:00am looking in on Chris and getting him settled for Elise. Elise is still stretched out but she will be up and on the move shortly. Any plans for today?

We went to the Loft last night to see a movie called "Meeks Cutoff" it was very good. It is about a group of families travelling across Oregon in 1865. It shows what they go through during the journey and it was rough let me tell you. It also shows that they would have not made it if not for the help and the skills of the Native American who knew and who could read the land and survive in such conditions. The ending was shocking and it left you wondering.

We are going to go out for breakfast this morning to a place called "Poco and Mom's" we have not been there in ages. We are also going to meet up with Marty this evening at Zemams for dinner. We love Zemams! I also have to run a couple of errands this morning and gas up the Spectra.

Evening

Good Evening

Well, the day has been a pretty quiet one here in Tucson. I had to run an errand and I cleaned out the shed and I did a little picking up in the front yard were Elise left off.

We had a early dinner that Elise prepared that was very good. We got it all down with a couple of Cobre Libra's that hit the spot. We watched a DVD called "The Oath" it was very good. It was about Osama Bin Ladin and his followers and about the trials at Guantanamo Bay.

We are going to go to the movies this evening at the "Loft" we haven't been there in a while. Rosemary will be caring for Chris this evening. Now here is a how our stay cation went in Safford.

18 May 11

We started it by going to Gus Balones for breakfast and let me tell you it was very good. We stopped at the air base to get gas and to pick up a restocking of Jack Daniels, yes we know Jack, smile.

We arrived at our hotel at around 12:30pm and we checked in and we settled in. We stocked up on plenty of ice for our Jack and Cokes,don't you know? We played a few computer games on the laptop and we devoured our tuna jalapeno dip. Boy was it good. We totally rested and we watched a little TV as well. We also listened to a book on CD that we brought along. It was getting to be around 9:00pm and we called it a night. Can you believe that?

19 May 11

I was up and at it at 7:00am. Elise was still counting sheep. Yes, I said 7:00am. Really strange for me, eh? I fixed a pot of coffee and that woke Elise up to start her day. Elise took a walk and she checked what the hotel had to offer for breakfast. Nothing to our liking so we went to a placed called "Jerry's". We have been here before on one of our previous stay cations. The food was great and plentiful.

We drove by the theatre to see what was showing later in the evening. We stopped at Walgreen's to pick up a few things before we returned to our room. We listened to the book on CD some more and we looked over crossword puzzles. We watched a little more TV and then we headed out for Kachina Hot Springs for a total body massage and soaking. We got there and the therapists were waiting on us. We got into the hot springs and let me tell you that felt great. After about a 15 minute soaking we got on the massage tables and the therapists went to work from head to toe. After that we were back into the hot spring for another 15 min soaking. At that point I was in need of a nap and I am sure Elise was as well. WE got back on the table and we were wrapped up like mummies and wow, does not describe it. While we were wrapped we had our feet massaged and if you have never had one of those,you are really missing out. After the unwrapping we headed back into he hot spring fro our final soaking before we got dressed. It was great.

We headed back to our room and chilled for a few minutes. Then we left for "La Manana" for dinner. The food was wonderful and served up very quickly. After dinner we stopped at the hotel for a quick Jack pick me up and then we headed for the movies. We saw " Bridesmaids" it is of the funniest movies that we have seen in a long time. Laugh after laugh. We recommend that you see it as soon as you can. It is so good that I we are going to buy it when it comes out on DVD, it is that good.

We returned to our room and we listened to more of the book on CD with a few more Jacks of course. It go to be around 9:00pm again and you guessed it, it was game over again. A very good day.

20 May 11

I was up again at 7:00am and I put the coffee on. Elise did no wake up this time from the aroma of the coffee. She woke up at 8:00am and started her day. We got dressed and we went across the street to the Manor House for breakfast. It was pretty good and the coffee was great. We returned to our room and we began to pack up for our drive back to Tucson. We checked out at around 10:30am and we hit the road. We could see the smoke from the forest fire on top of the mountains,it was burning pretty good.

We arrived at home at around 12:30pm and we unloaded the Tacoma. We took a short break and then we went to the movies to see"Cave of Forgotten Dreams in 3D. It was spectacular. After the movie we went to " Oreganos" for dinner. We shared a bottle of red, very hot,hot chicken wings and a delicious thin crust pizza. For dessert we had one and a half Bellini's, that were excellent. We returned home and Elise hit the sheets to read and I watched a little TV until Marv left for the night. I then checked on Chris and then I called it a day. That was our stay-cation.Very relaxing and lot's of fun. We are looking forward to our next outing next month to Seattle,Washington for a couple of days to visit Susie, Roy and wife, and to see a grown up Adam.

Well, I had better get ready for the movies for this evening. Have a great night and enjoy.

We had a very nice stay cation in Safford, Arizona, but I will inform you about that later in the day. I want to pass on to you about what was waiting when we got back to Tucson.

I received a very special package from a very long time and dear friend named Shirlene who lives in New Orleans. She sent me a belated birthday day gift that really took my breath away. She made me a silk screen floral arrangement that is wonderful. Please take a look at the photo attached to our blog. It is really a work of art and we are truly grateful to Shirlene for it. So if you like this item please by all means contact her at her email address that I have included in this post. You will be amazed at the talent that she has.

I will get back to you later about Safford. Have a good day and stay safe and please checkout Shirlene's creations.

We are leaving on Wednesday morning headed for the Kachina Hot Springs for a dip in the hot springs, a massage and a full body wrap. We are looking forward to it and it may help Elise's back a bit.





Well, I am on my second cup of coffee this morning and the danish that I am having long with it is just great. I am a bit under the weather this morning and it started last night at around midnight. I began to cough, I had a pounding headache, chest congestion, and of course I had to pay rent in the (Loo), for quite a while.

Well, the Tucson Women's Chorus concert was a hit. Well, over 200 plus people were in attendance. The chorus preformed very well and they received a standing ovation at the end. The after party was very nice and well organized and that alone really impressed me. It was a very nice evening. Prior to the after party Elise and I stopped in one of the local bar and grills and we ordered up a cocktail and we discussed the concert and other things.

We are going to go out for breakfast this morning to Village Inn, they have some great pancakes. Later in the evening after Rosemary arrives to care for Chris we will meet up with Lundy and Jan at the Pops Concert under the stars at Reid Park.

How are you? I started the day off at 5:10am looking in on Chris and getting him settled. Elise is still counting sheep this morning, but when one of the sheep cannot jump the fence it will wake her up and she will begin her day. Any plans for today?

Last night we relaxed and watched the "Tudors" on DVD, it is a very good series. We also chowed down on our 15 bean soup as well. It was delicious let me tell you. Elise had two bowls and I had three, and the jalapeno cornbread was great. We got it down with some "Flying Fish" a very good Merlot and one of our favorites. Even Marv had a bowl and he enjoyed it very much while he was caring for Chris.

Well this evening is the "Tucson Women's Chorus" concert this evening at the Berger Center. It will be a good concert and it should draw a very nice crowd. After the concert we are going to a after-party and that should be interesting too!

Well, I had better get myself together and get this day started. Have a great day today and a better tomorrow.

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

Tiger, Marcie, Jet what is up?

Rosie, it is always good to hear from you.

Shirlene, I am glad that you liked the card we sent to you. Have a great weekend.

Ross, that is wild about what happened to you on Facebook.

Shoo Shoo, how are you doing?

Jane and John, have a great weekend.

Flo and John, how are you?

Loraine, yes we have a broom. The photo is up above. Jumping the Broom is an old African-American tradition that started back in the slave era. Blacks were not allowed to marry back then so to seal a relationship the couple would jump over a broom that was on the floor or on the ground. So when JT decides to marry he will receive our broom for his wedding day.

Friday the 13th! Oh No!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning,





Mood: Taking baby-steps today!

Be Careful Today! It's Friday the 13th. How are you? I started the day off at 5:10am caring for Chris. Elise is purring away,but she will be up and on the move soon. Any plans for today?





The day has been going haywire since I got up this morning. I could not get on Blogger because it was down for hours. Elise is hosting Marathon Bridge here today and two of the players are having bad days. One is stuck in Denver due to weather and plane problems,and the other took a fall this morning and she broke her wrist. The makings of a true Friday the 13th.





Elise's chorus practice went well last night and the concert on Saturday evening should be a hit. After the practice we stopped in Applebee's for dinner and that was a treat. We shared a bottle of cab that was very good. We had buffalo wings, red beans and rice, veggies, grilled shrimp and sirloin steak. Excellent dinner.





We have no plans for today so we will more than likely watch a few DVD's. We went to the movies yesterday afternoon to see"Jumping The Broom" it was very good and very well done. Elise and I have our wedding broom standing in the corner of the family room. It will go to JT when he decides to get married. We also saw the previews for the movie "The Help" it will come out in August of this year and it should be great. Elise is playing on buying the DVD when it makes it's debut.





We I had better get busy. I am going to put on the crock pot and package of 15 bean soup beans. Can you say yummy? Elise is going to fix some cornbread to go along with it. Have a good day if you can.
Cheers................
