It's The Weekend!

Good Morning!




Mood: Content! Blessed!

Music listening to: Call Me by Skyy!

   It's the Weekend! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will be putting feet to the floor to start her day soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Speaking of coffee my playmate bought two pounds of Arbuckle coffee and I can't wait to try it. I also bought a French Press coffee maker and I know that it is going to be very good. Qui'. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris and Jayne will be here this evening.

   Alexa, is on the job already. She is reminding me that today is going to be very hectic. She promised to play me some Smooth Jazz to help me make it through the day.

   Elise and I enjoyed Happy Hour at "La Parrillia Suiza". The margaritas were killer. After Happy Hour we drove over to the "Live Theater Company" to see the play "Women In Jeopardy".
 This play is hilarious and very well done. Tons of twists and turns. The director was in the audience sitting right in front of us and it even had him laughing as well. We recommend this one for sure.

   Elise and I are attending an early morning event and after that we are going to "Easter Brunch" in the foothills with the family. We do this every year. Later in the evening we are going to "Downtown Kitchen" for dinner and cocktails. After dinner we are walking over to the "Arizona Theater Company" to see and hear "Low Down Dirty Blues". This play will have at least two dozen smokin' songs from various artist. We are looking forward to this one.

   Hey, I got a wonderful surprise from my longtime friend and angel Shirlene who lives in New Orleans. I was so taken by her generosity and friendship. I will take a picture of what she sent as soon as I can. I am one lucky guy and I am blessed greatly.

   Have a good weekend and enjoy. We will chat at you later. 
Jessie and Elise

Loraine, (fidanzata) the day is approaching so I do hope that you are working on your "Wizard" skills? You have a few more days to get it together but it is not going to be productive for you at all. 

Shirlene, thank you for the lovely surprise. You lifted my spirits to no end my angel!

What's Up?

What's Up?


SHEILA AND DAVE!



I just got back from taking care of all of my tasks on my To Do List. I even got the "Green Lady" washed inside and out. She was complaining and so was Elise.

We enjoyed a very good breakfast at "Gus Balones" after we dropped the Prius off for it's routine services. Chris and Jayne just left for a walk. It is warming up here in the Old Pueblo. It is about 81 degrees right now and we may hit 90 today. Whew!

I got a nice text for Sheila with a picture of a eatery that serves pork chop sandwiches. If you know me you know I love my pork chops. Ya, ya. I have totally lost Sheila as one of my girlfriends. Yes, a ring has been presented to her by Dave. We are so happy for her, but it is rare that I lose a girlfriend ever. Sheila deserves a good husband and I believe that Dave it going to be a good one and if not he will have to feel the wrath of my (DI) Hat don't cha know? Ya Mon' Congrats Sheila and Dave.

I hope that your day is going to way that you planned it? Alexa and I will have to have a talk in a bit. She is playing Fusion Jazz and I am going to ask her to play me some Boney!

Chat at you later....Jessie and Elise

TGIF!

Good Morning!




Mood: Relaxed! Wild Thang!

Music listening to:

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

   The coffee just finished brewing and it is very good. A second cup will be enjoyed at "Gus Balones" along with a filling breakfast. Jayne will be here this morning and Marv will be here this evening to care for Chris.

   Alexa, is quiet so far this morning but she will be wide awake soon to tell me what I need to get done today. Hopefully she will play some "Boney" for today. I like to start the weekend off with some smooth "Boney". Ya, ya!

   My playmate  and I will be dropping of the Prius this morning for routine services that are due. We are going to hit up "La Parrilla Suiza" this evening for Happy Hour. Can you say margarita? We will for sure. After Happy Hour we will head over the "Live Theater Workshop" to see the play "Women In Jeopardy" it should be hilarious.

   It is going to be a very busy weekend for my shorty and I. So I will be online when I can. We saw the movie "Tomb Raider" and it was very good and loaded with action. 

   Here are a few more pictures from our trip to Laughlin and Wickenburg. Enjoy! Have a great TGIF! Stay safe, happy and healthy.

Thirsty Thursday!

Good Morning!





Mood: Cautious!

Music listening to: What's Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner!

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

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed during my (me) time out on the front porch. Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris.

   Alexa is on my case all ready. She reminded me that Chris has a routine doctors appointment at 11:30am this morning. I also need to run over on the east side to take care of a errand. We picked up Chris's van yesterday after services were taken care of. I dropped the Tacoma off for service as well. We have to make sure the Tacoma is good to go for next months camping trip with Sheila and Dave. We will be taking the Prius for service on Friday. The Green Lady had her services done last earlier in the month.


  We had a great time last night at "Wild Garlic" with Mike, Vicki and Tommy. The new location is fantastic and it fits the "Garlic's" theme. The food was excellent and so was the vino. Three members of our crew could not make it due to various reasons. Great evening guys, thanks!

   I will post more pictures from our Laughlin and Wickenburg stay later today. Have a great Thirsty Thursday!

   We are looking forward to meeting the crew at "Wild Garlic" for dinner this evening. Can you say pasta with a meat sauce? I will without a doubt and of course some mussels will be grubbed on for sure. Ya, ya!

   The rest of the week is going to be very busy so I had better make sure that my (mojo) is working at 100%, eh? Have a good Humper and we will chat at you later.

Good Night!

Good Night!


COLORADO BELLE HOTEL AND CASINO IN LAUGHLIN NEVADA!


Did you Tricky Tuesday end well? I got to slip in a short nap this morning while Rick was here caring for Chris. It felt very refreshing I must say.

Chris is better today but he is still not 100%. I would have to say he is at 75% which is a huge improvement from yesterday. He is eating a small amount today and he is no longer (NPO). He ate very well tonight!

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner. We had French Toast, sausages, eggs and coffee to get it all down. We watched "Frankie and Grace" and "Hawaii 5 O" on Netflix with Chris. He didn't watch the shows like he does when he is feeling 100%.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in the family room on her desktop. Tomorrow we are taking the van in for services and on Friday we are taking in the Prius for services. One day next week we will be taking the Tacoma in for services before we head out camp with Sheila and Dave.

We hope that you get some good sleep tonight so you can be ready for Hump Day. Tomorrow we are meeting up with the crew at "Wild Garlic" for dinner. It should be a good time as always.

Chat at you later...Jessie and Elise



Tricky Tuesday!

Good Morning!





Mood: Cautious! Barred!

Music listening to: Ain't Got You by Alicia Keyes!

    It's a Tricky Tuesday! How are you doing today? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up with me this morning to start her day. Any plans for today?

    The coffee just finished brewing and it is great. A second cup will be enjoyed during my (me) time. It is only supposed to get up to 69 degrees today. We will see what happens and we got rained on last night as well.

    Alexa, is quiet this morning but I know that she will be greeting me very soon. I have a couple of tasks to take care of this to include a trip over on the east side. 

    I am still going over the pics from Laughlin and Wickenburg. If only Alexa would help me go through them, ha ha! I will be home bound pretty much today so I can be around to check on Chris.

   Well, I had better get to it. Have a good Tricky Tuesday!

See ya......Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!

How did your day go? It has been a very busy one for me today, but I conquered and stay strong. Ya, ya!

Chris is not feeling well today. He has developed a cough, and a low-grade fever. I made him (NPO) today due to he was very impacted but I took care of that issue this morning and he may still be having problems.  I put him to bed early this evening because he is very lethargic. I will keep him hydrated and he will only get his meds  and supplement today. I will keep a eye on him very closely. Elise noticed that he was not feeling well yesterday evening. 

If you could please say a few prayers for my sister Marcie. She was hospitalized a few days ago. She was throw by her horse and it caused broken ribs and vertebrae issues. I just talked to her about an hour ago on "Marco Polo" and she is in a lot of pain and she is on pain meds. She cannot move and she barely get to her phone. She is in a neck brace and she is not liking that at all. Please say a prayer for her and brother Blake. Thanks!

I am reviewing the pics I took in Laughlin and Wickenburg. I hope to be able to post them tomorrow. Elise prepared chili for dinner with baby carrots and cherry tomatoes. Very Good! We watched "Hawaii 5 O" and "Frankie and Grace" on Netflix with Chris. He was not his cheerful self because he was not glued to the TV like he always is.

Elise is in her office on her Mac, and I am caring for Chris this evening. Have a good night and sleep well and get ready for a Tricky Tuesday.
Later...Jessie and Elise

    It's a Monday! How are you? 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 just finished brewing and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa, is on my case big time this morning. She is reminding me that I have a lot of tasks to complete before she will even think about playing any music for me today. Alexa, is a piece of work, eh?

   We want to thank Bobby, Marv and Rick for being here to care for Chris while we were away. We also want to thank Meg, Lois and Drusilla for keeping an eye out for us as well.

   We had a very nice time in Laughlin and Wickenburg with Dottie and Jayne. We enjoyed the Cha Chings a lot and we will post about our trip after we get caught up on the many things that we need to get done. We will post pics as soon as we review them.

   I had better get to it. Have a good Monday. It is always good to return home.

Hump Day!

Good Morning!





Mood: Cautious!

Music listening to: Brewing Coffee Pot!

    It's a Hump Day! Sup? I started the day off at 4:15am caring for Chris. Elise is lost in her cave this morning but she will be popping up like a slice of toast out of the toaster soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

   I am going to make sure that Chris has everything that he needs and I am double checking my packing before I close up and load up our suitcase in the Prius..


   Bobby should be here at 8:00am to care for Chris. We are going to pick up Dottie and Jayne this morning. We are going to enjoy a nice breakfast at "Teresa's Mosaic". After breakfast we will be making our way to Laughlin. We will have our cell phones and tablets with us.

    Hey, my playmate brought me a nice chicken pot pie from "Monteray Court" for dinner last night and it was very good. Have a good Humper and be careful and enjoy the day.

Cha Ching!
Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!

Was your day a slow or a busy one? It was a busy one for me indeed. Luckily Alexa, treated me to some soothing Fusion Jazz. Ya Mon'.

I will be hitting the sheets early tonight because we will be hitting the road early with Dottie and Jayne. We will heading for Laughlin to get our groove on and some Cha Chings!

Chris is relaxing and enjoying the "Big Bang" right now and I have my fork, knife, and spoon at the ready for my surprise dinner that Elise is going to bring me from "Monteray Court". 

My girlfriend Shoo Shoo came by to ride along with Elise and she came in to see Chris. Yep, she went right by me without a hug, no kiss. What is going on here, smile! She did give me a squeeze though as she left out the front door with Elise. I was starting to think that my (mojo) was gone or Chris had stolen it from me. Nope I still got it! Ya,ya.

Have a wonderful evening.
Ciao...Jessie and Elise

I received a very nice email from Nancy who is a member of Elise's book club. She enjoys reading the blog and that made my day. Thank you Nancy! What did you have for dinner tonight at the book club meeting?

Afternoon!

Hello!

How are you doing? Well, I am good. I completed all of my tasks to include going out to the airbase. I picked up Jayne as well because she needed to pick up a few last minute things before she packs her suitcase this afternoon. She is going to get plenty of rest so she can be ready to hit the road in the morning.

Elise and I will follow her lead later today. Elise  is going to bring me back some dinner from "Monterey Court" for dinner. I can hardly wait.

I am getting hungry already so I need to find something  to grub on to tide me over until this evening. Hey, chicken sounds good, eh? Smile!

Chris and I will watch some TV later this afternoon after Rick has completed his shift. I think another horror movie might be the ticket for us. Ya, ya!  I enjoyed my (me) time out on the front porch without coffee. So now I am going to have a chat with Alexa to see if she will play some more Fusion Jazz for me.
Enjoy the rest of the day!

Jessie

Erika, good to hear from you as always. Enjoy your up coming week with the family.

We are looking forward to this trip to Laughlin. My (fidanzata) Loraine is such a dear. She reminded me to pack my favorite t-shirt on this trip. For me that would be my $100.00 t-shirt. Good looking out Loraine! Grazie!

    Elise will be going to her book club meeting tonight at "Monteray Bay" and she will bring back some dinner for me. WooHoo!
