Good Night!

Good Night!

How was your day? We have been very busy here painting the front of the main house. We got a lot done and we hope to be finished very soon.

Both my shorty and I are sore from painting and going up and down the ladder. Jane, don't do it!

We had a dinner that consisted of corn on the cob, little baby potatoes, baby carrots, and cubed cheese. It was very good.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her desktop. Chris was a little irritated this evening and he still is. I will keep an eye on him tonight.

Have a wonderful evening and sleep and dream well.
Cheers...Jessie and Elise

   It's a Tricky Tuesday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is stirring about so she will be up and heading for the pool soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee just finished brewing and it is doing it's job. I will have some yogurt for breakfast this morning. Our daughter Tangye stayed overnight with us and it felt like times. 

   David will be here this morning so I will be painting again  in the front of the house. My shorty and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are almost done with the house but still have the block walls to do. Yep!

   Well, I had better get to work. Have a good one and be blessed.

See Ya....Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!

How was your day? I did some work on the main house and then I hit the hammock before I got Chris up. It was very relaxing and Buttercup decided to take a nap right next to me. Oh those fur-babies.

Elise returned home and she hit the front of the house painting on the front porch. We will be painting a little at a time. Hopefully we will be finished before will get into the triple digits.

Well, I put my whole rubbed and marinated chicken in the rotisserie for an two hours. It is a thing a beauty to look at. Golden Brown, moist, tender, and very juicy. Jane, don't do it!

It was delicious and we enjoyed sweet peas (green balls), cheese rice, and plenty of red the get it all down.. As a matter of fact I enjoyed 3 glasses of Ruffino Chianti. A great meal if I say so myself.

We had a nice visit this afternoon from Rosemary. She is doing well since her hospitalization a few weeks back. Speaking of visitors our daughter Tangye is her chatting with her mom. I gave her a hug and I asked her if everything is OK. Elise will bring me up to speed later. It is always good to see her.

I will start painting again in the morning when Davis is here. Have a wonderful evening and we hope that tomorrow will be a better day.

Prost.....Jessie and Elise

Hello!

Hello!

How is it going? Well, I am bushed let me tell you. I got a lot done this morning for sure.

I scraped, Kilzed, trimmed branches, took all of the furniture and plants off of the front porch, and then I power washed the front porch and the front of the main house. I did this all and at the same time I am caring for Chris.

So as soon as the porch dries I will put the furniture back and I am going to get Chris dressed. After that I am going to hit the hammock to rest up before I get Chris up.

I tell I need a couple of beers or some Merlot without a doubt. I hope that things are going well for you today?
Ciao...........Jessie

It's A Monday! Memorial Day!

Good Morning!

Mood: Content! Slap and Tickled!

Music listening to: Atomic Dog by George Clinton

  It's a Monday! Memorial Day! I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is up and about this morning already. Any plans for today?

  It is Memorial Day and this is a day of reflection for me.  I give thanks to my brothers and sisters in arms who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Our flag is flying high out front this morning and I gave my comrades a salute to thank them for their service. This is a day of reflection and memories.

  The coffee is good and I will have a donut to go along with. I will be trimming the trees this morning and trimming the ivy before I start to paint the front of the house. I will also power wash the front porch as well.
  
  My playmate and I saw the movie "Neighbors 2:Sorority Rising". This movie is hilarious. It had my playmate and I rolling in the aisle.

  We hope that your day will be a good one. Enjoy!
Later....Jessie and Elise

Jane, I am enjoying the song Atomic Dog it reminds me of my wild days chasing the (cat). Yeah Mon' Right Papa John?

Donna is here rubbing Chris the right way and he is loving it. Jane did you go there? Of course you did, smile!

Well, while Elise is caring for Chris I will be painting and scraping and trimming some over-hanging tree branches over the main house. It is starting to heat up and I don't know how long I will be out working.

Hope things are going well for you so far? Chat at you later.

   It's a Sunday! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am getting Chris settled for Elise. She will be over shortly to care for Chris today. Any plans for today?

   The coffee just finished brewing and it is delicious. We are going to the "Egg Connection" for breakfast this morning. Bobby is going to meet us there. Donna will be here this morning to give Chris a massage.

   My playmate and I saw the movie "Love And Friendship". It was very good and very well done. A good use of double talk movie. We are going to hit up another movie this evening. We are going to see "The Nice Guys". It got great reviews so it should be a good one. Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris.

   Well, we will be starting on the front of the main house very soon. That means that we are almost finished with painting the house, but we still have to paint the block walls around the house. We have got to get it done before we hit the triple digit temps.

   We hope that you have a wonderful Sunday and be blessed and happy. Here are a few more pics from our trip to the Sonoita/Elgin area with Papa John and Jane.

It's The Weekend!

Good Morning!

Mood: Relaxed!

Music listening to: I Love You by Stevie B

   It's the Weekend! Sup? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will be up and on the move soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and I will have some yogurt for breakfast. David will be here this morning to care for Chris and Jayne will be here this evening. If you would please say a prayer for Jayne's sister who has been hospitalized she would very much appreciate it.

   Well, my playmate and I saw the movie "Meddler" yesterday and it is very, very good and it is very well done. It is playing at the "Loft".

   We are going to do some touch up painting today before it gets too hot. We are going to prepare to start on the front of the main house and it is going to be a chore due to the front is ivy covered, but my shorty and I will get it done.

   Well, I have to tell you we had a fantastic day in Sonoita and Elgin yesterday with Jane and Papa John. The weather was beautiful! The drive from Tucson to Sonoita is lovely.

   We visited several wineries and of course we tasted as we went along. As a matter of fact several bottles, I do mean several bottles of wine were bought.

   We had a very nice lunch at "The Cafe" in Sonoita. The food was very good and it is a popular place. We also stopped at the "Empire Ranch" it is a very historic place that was founded back in August of 1876. It was a 160 acre ranch that was bought for only $2000.00 dollars.

   We want to thank Papa John and Jane for a grand day of good food, history, and of course wine tasting and great scenery.

Also I got a bit of sad news yesterday from my nursing supervisor. She called me to say that she retired as of yesterday. She has taken care of me for many years and she has kept me employed here in Tucson. I will miss her very much and I wish her the very best with whatever she does to enjoy her retirement.

    It's a TGIF! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will be on the go very soon. Any plans for today?

    The coffee just finished brewing and it is delicious. Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris and Marv will be here this evening.

    First off I want to thank all of my family members and loving friends for your very kind words in support of my blog content. My loving wife Elise, (my playmate, shorty) has my back and she has supported me from day one 6 years ago when I posted my first blog entry. Thanks again because I will strive on.

   We are going to spend the day in Sonoita with Papa John and my girlfriend Jane. It should be a lot of fun and the wine tasting should keep us full of laughs and happy. Yeah!

   I had to take Chris's headrest into the rehab shop to be repaired. I was told that it would be ready this morning hopefully. Chris will have to stay in bed until it is repaired.

   We went to the Loft to see the movie " The Man Who Knew Infinity". It was very good and also sad as well. We recommend this one for sure.

    We met up with Vickie, Mike, and Pat at "Relish " for dinner last night and much to our surprise and disappointment it has closed down. Wow! So we ventured across the street to "La Hacienda". The food was very good and so were the margaritas. So good my playmate and I shared 3 of them. The evening was loaded with laughs and cut ups. Thank you Mike, Vickie and Pat for a wonderful evening with our Red Noses. Looking forward to our meeting next month.

  Well, I had better get to it. Have a great TGIF!. Enjoy and stay safe.

Later...Jessie and Elise

My girlfriend Sheila posted to the blog yesterday. The posting was very nice and she made it perfectly clear that she wants to be my only girlfriend. Wow!

It's A Thirsty Thursday!

Good Morning!


SHOO AND STU



Mood: Content! Annoyed! 

Music listening to: Birds chirping!

    It's a Thirsty Thursday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will be up and about soon. Jayne is here caring for Chris this morning. Chris loves her and so do we. Any plans for today?

  The coffee just finished brewing and my cup is full. I woke up this morning with my DI hat on and I didn't sleep that well last night. I need to clear something up quickly. I have many followers of my blog all over the US and out of the US and that pleases me greatly but I feel that I need to make something very clear.

   My blog is an extension of me and it has the approval of my loving wife Elise who I call my playmate and shorty. We are as tight as a rusted nut on a bolt and we always will be. I have been posting to this blog for over 6 years and I have never felt like I had to explain it ever until this morning.

   Some of the wording in my blog my be confusing to some and if you need an explanation please feel free to ask me about it. If it offends you in any way please let me know and I will take you off of the listing or you can just stop reading it.

   I have a loving wife and family, loving friends to which I am very close to. I use the term girlfriend quite a bit and I believe that some people take that the wrong way. Our friends are unique and we get along very well and we enjoy life to the fullest as it should be and that is not going to change. Elise knows all of my (girlfriends) as a matter of fact she knew them before I did.

  Please don't take the fact that I am a quiet laid back person as a weakness. I am very observant I keep my eyes and ears open all of the time. My father taught me this and to keep them guessing about what makes me tick. I have learned to read people very well. I will say that you don't want to get on my bad side ever because I will get back at you. It may not be right then but I will without a doubt. You don't want that ever!

  With that being said I love my wife (Elise), my family and my friends. So don't try to judge me and my actions. I cannot stand people who are two-faced because I can, will, and have identified who you are. Nuff said!

  My playmate is going to do some touch up work today on the main house today. We may hit up a movie today as well. It has been awhile since we have been to a movie and we are behind.

   This evening we are meeting up with Vickie and Mike and hopefully Mike's sister at "Relish" for dinner. We love "Relish" because they have good food and the wine flights are excellent.

   We enjoyed a fantastic evening last with Shoo and Stu. We had great food and the Mahjong Marathon was killer. Marcie you will be pleased to know that I won a game last night. WooHoo! The only person who didn't win was Stu but he came close several times. Thank you guys for a festive evening.

   If time permits I will start to post about our trip to the mountains. Have a great Thirsty Thursday.
Ciao....Jessie and Elise

Jane, thanks for letting us know that Papa John likes to paint, but we got it covered. No pun intended Sweet Pea. Papa has enough on his plate.

Good Afternoon!

How are you? I am good and tired about right now. I just stopped painting trim on west side of the house due to it is getting very windy. We re supposed to get high winds today from noon until 7:00pm this evening.

The Truly Nolan tech was here to treat the exterior of the house and he loved the painting job that we have done. He asked if we got a professional to do it and I replied that we did not that we did all ourselves. He was totally impressed. Cool, eh?

My playmate just dropped in for a minute to bring me some Pistachio yogurt and I have to tell you it is delicious.  My shorty is a true gem. Yeah! She is gone again to her Tai Chi class and after that she will attend her writing class. She keeps herself very busy.

So now I am going to get showered and relax. I will watch some TV and get ready for Mahjong with Shoo and Stu. They have a good butt kicking coming at them for sure. Jayne will be here to take over for Bobby who is caring for Chris right now.

Chat at you later........Jessie

Hump Day!

   It's a Hump Day! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will be on the go soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good this morning and I will have some yogurt for breakfast. It is going to be another busy day today for us here in Central Tucson. Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris and Jayne will be here this afternoon.

   I will be painting again early this morning  for sure. I slept very well last night. My playmate served up some Chicken Cordon Bleu for my dinner last night from "Bistro 44". It was delicious and she prepared me a nice "Whitetail" and Coke cocktail that was wonderful.

  I woke up this morning and I was in a tent, yes I was. Jane ask Papa if he get's my drift, OK? I am sure that you are going to go there Sweet Pea?

  We are going to play "Mahjong" this evening over at Stu's house. I am ready to kick some butt and take names tonight. Shoo and Stu are in for an evening of losses for sure, smile!

   Well, I had better get busy. Have a great Humper. Enjoy the day and be blessed.
Later...Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!




Looks like she enjoys "Morning Sex". Sheila and I do without a doubt! Right Sheila?


How was it today? Well, it was a busy one for me and I did not make it to the hammock. 

I helped my playmate while she painted the trim on the north side of the main house. Actually I was making sure that she remained  standing on the ladder, smile!

Tomorrow we will continue on with the painting on the north side and I will do a little touch up work in that area as well. We are rolling, literally, if you will!

We watched Family Feud with Chris. Before Chris and I were enjoying a movie on the Sci-Fi channel called Ghost Shark. It was good and we were rolling with laughter.

I was going to post about our trip to the mountains but I will have to do it at another time due to Chris seems a little tense for some reason so I will keep an eye on him in case I need to administer some  additional medications for it.

I am caring for Chris tonight and my shorty just left for her book club meeting at "Bistro 44". We haven't been there in a long time. I put in an order for some "Cordon Bleu". I have had it from the "Bistro" before and it was heavenly. I put in a Corona in the freezer to get nice and cold. I am going to sleep well tonight, yeah!

We hope that your evening goes well. Sleep tight and dream a good dream.

Prost.....Jessie and Elise

Marcie, thanks for chatting with me today but I did not make it to the hammock. How were those ribs?

Dottie, welcome home. Get some rest. The Keno King has spoken.


Hello!

Hello!


I NEED TO GET BACK WITH MY GIRLFRIEND SHEILA SO WE CAN HAVE SOME MORE MORNING SEX! IT IS SO GOOD.  YEAH MON'


What are you up to? Well, I just finished painting the north side of the main house and all that is left on that side is the trim. It is coming along very well. We have a few places that need a touch up here and there but we will tackle that quickly. Next we will tackle the front and that is going to be a challenge due to the ivy that is there.

I am tired and I need to relax. Jane can you think of anything for me to do to chill out? I am going to grab some grub and a ice cold Corona for sure. I may even get on the hammock but it may cause me to go to sleep, smile!

My shorty will return later this afternoon and I am sure that she is going to take care of the trim on the north side of the house before it gets too hot to do anything.

We hope that things are going well for you so far today. 
Chat at you later. I am going to review the pictures from our trip to the mountain later this afternoon and I will start to post about it then.
Ciao....Jessie

   It's a Tricky Tuesday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. My playmate popped up with me this morning to start her day. Jane, did you go there? Of course you did, smile! Any plans for today?

   I am enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee and I will have some yogurt for breakfast. David will be here this morning to care for Chris.

   I will be starting to paint very soon before the sun comes up and it starts to heat up. Hey, my shorty brought back some very nice wings for my dinner from Grumpy's over on the west side of Tucson. I got my grub on for real and I got it all down with a ice cold Corona. Delicious!

   I will post about our trip to the mountains later this afternoon. Have a wonderful Tricky Tuesday. Enjoy, stay safe and be blessed.
