Hello!

Hello!

What sup? How are you getting along? We are good here in central Tucson. We enjoyed a good breakfast at the "Egg Connection" as always.

Elise is caring for Chris and I just returned from dropping Sister Jayne at church. Now I have to do a little paperwork before I restock Chris's supplies for next week. I also have to do a little yard work as well. I will not have time to install the new Jacuzzi pump and heater today. Hopefully I will get it done soon.

We are going to the movies this evening to see Toy Story at "El Con Mall". We hope that you are doing well and staying cool and dry?

Later...Jessie 

Buongiorno!

  Buon Domenica!  How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:30am looking in on Chris and getting him settled for Elise. Elise not in here cave so she will be over to Chris's house soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

 The coffee is good and it is a nice Breakfast Blend. A second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connection" along with a nice hardy breakfast. Sister Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris.

  It is another nice morning here in Tucson and it is going to heat up quickly. We are really looking forward to the Monsoon season starting to cool things down

  Well, the major event has come and gone. Yes, the "Wizard" fest was a huge success. We enjoyed a very nice dinner at "Casa Molina's" on Grant and Columbus. The margaritas were good too. My (fidanzata) enjoyed vino (blanco).

  After dinner the "Wizard" fest was in full swing. It included lots of skill, trickery, slight of hand, and tons of luck and  a little bit of cheating. Smile!

  The pre- "Wizard" winner was Elise. During the first game I was kicking butt and taking names. I had over 200 points and all of a sudden the back-stabbing started and things began to change and not in my favor.

 The second round was cutthroat let me tell you. I brought out the secret weapon which was (Vodka Jello Shots). They were delicious and they kicked in very well. The game was not going well for me and maybe those Jello Shots did me in. My playmate brought out the second wave of trickery. Yes, it was a dessert float called "Dirty Girl". A staple in Butte, Montana. The "Dirty Girl" kicked in for everyone to include Sister Jayne. Well the outcome was not like I had planned but at least my (fidanzata) did not become the victor. So that made all of our taunting well worth it on both  our parts.

 The big (wiener) and "Wizard" is Capo Jim. It was a fun evening as always with my (fidanzata and Capo Jim). We are looking forward to the next "Wizard" fest. Thank you guys for a wonderful evening of good food, fun, friendship and trickery. Here are a few pics from last night. It got (buck-wild) for sure and we loved it.

Hello!

Hello!

How are you doing? I hope better than I am right now. Saturday has turned into a true Monday. Yep!

A (SNAFU) has taken place. No caregiver for this morning. He notified me that he could not get into his car due the remote would not open his car. That means that the remote battery is (Kaput). So all of my plans for this morning are shot to (kaka). I hope that this (SNAFU) doesn't affect my "Wizard" play tonight.

I did get the "Wizard" area all set up and ready to go. Here are a few pics of the area that is ready for my (fidanzata and Capo Jim) to be defeated. I was going to install the new Jacuzzi pump and heater this morning but now I have to put it off. My mood is not good at he present time.

FIDANZATA E CAPO JIM!

Hope that you are doing OK? I will have a chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie

Buon Settimana!

Buongiorno!

Mood: Relaxed! 

Music listening to: Make Me by Usher!

 Buon Settimana! Come Stai? I started the day off at 5:45am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she is stirring about. She will be up shortly to start her day. Any plans for today?

 The coffee is excellent this morning. It is a nice Cappuccino and I am loving it. I will down a second cup later this morning. It is hot already here in the Old Pueblo. It is going to be a scorcher today for sure. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris and Sister Jayne will be here this evening. 

  Alexa, is awake and she is reminding me of all that I have to do today. It is going to be a busy one for sure. The major task is to set up for the "Wizard" fest that takes place here tonight. This is a major event here and we are hosting it. We will be joined by my (fidanzata and Capo Jim). This event has been in the planning stage for months and now the day has arrived and it will go in my favor, but you know that right (fidanzata?). I have been working on my card skills and my shuffling skills as well. I have a mean take that card slap  down that is legendary.

 My playmate and I enjoyed Happy Hour last night at "La Parrilla Suiza". We had some excellent margaritas that were made special for us by the bartender. She did a very good job. Our daughter Tangye could not make it due to some other family issues that she needed to tend to.

 After Happy Hour we headed over to the "Live Theater Workshop" to see the play "Things Being What They Are". This play is excellent just like my girlfriend Shoo Shoo said. It is hilarious and the theater was packed. The stars were two of our favorite actors. It is a must see.

 Well, I had better get busy. I am going to ask Alexa, to play me some (Boney) today so I can get my groove on and my (mojo) working for today's activities.

 Have a great weekend and enjoy. I will have a tongue-wag at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise 

Howdy!

Howdy!

GET A ROOM!

What is going on around your way? All is good here so far on this TGIF day.

I have completed all of my To Do List tasks and Alexa is playing some "Smooth Jazz" for me. I am finger-popping and shaking my groove thang. You know how we do!

Now I am going to relax, rest and get ready for this evening's activities. Our daughter Tangye is going to join us for Happy Hour at "La Parrilla Suiza". WooHoo, it may get (buck wild) up in there for sure after the margaritas start to flow.

Hope that you are doing OK so far today?

Later.....Jessie

Buongiorno!

  Buon Venerdi! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave but she will be up and on the go to start her day soon. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and it is a nice Kenya Peabury blend. A second cup will be enjoyed later this morning during my (me) time. It is going to be another hot one here in the valley of Tucson. Sister Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris and Marv will be here this evening.

 Alexa, is awake and she reminded me that I have a few tasks to take care of off my To Do List. I asked her to play me some "Smooth Jazz" so I can get my groove on. I need to get my groove on and get my (mojo) working. Smile!

 My playmate and I enjoyed a wonderful evening with Jane and Papa John at "Tavolino's". The food was excellent and so was the "Moretti Birra's . It was good to see Jane and Papa to catch up on the latest happenings with them.

Hey, this evening my shorty and I are going to hit up "La Parrilla Suiza" for Happy Hour. Can you say margarita? We will several times no doubt. After Happy Hour we will head over to the "Live Theater Workshop" to see the play "Things Being What They Are". It is going to be a good one for sure. The reviews of this one are great. My girlfriend Shoo saw it and she raves about.

Well, tomorrow night is a major event here in the Old Pueblo and my playmate and I are sponsoring it right here. Yes, it is the "Wizard" fest. My (fidanzata and Capo Jim) will meet with us at "Casa Molina's" for a nice dinner. Yes, this dinner is going to be good and so will the margaritas and vino (blanco). After dinner we will make our way back to our house and the gloves will come on as soon as we hit the door. Mine and my (fidanzata's) will be on at the "Casa Molina's where we will have a stare down and some trash talking. Ya,ya! It is going to be an evening of skill, trickery, slight of hand, backstabbing and my secret weapon will be presented as well. My secret weapon will be a first for "Wizard". So we may make the late news tonight and it will not be (fake) news. Smile!

 Here is a bit more about our trip to Butte, Montana. Enjoy!

June 20,

I got up this morning at 5:30am because Dave and I are going trout fishing. Elise and Sheila were still counting snowflakes when we left. They finally got up at around 8:30am.

They had coffee and Elise had a banana. They watched TV and talked for awhile. Sheila informed Elise that she had  a luncheon to attend with some supporters from Gilbert and that she would return later. Elise got dressed and made her way to Walmart. I was chilly and windy when she started her walk. When she made here way back it was really cold and it had started to snow. All she could say was "Good Grief It's June" Really snow?

Dave and I returned from fishing with our catch. A nice 14 inch Rainbow Trout. A very nice morning with Dave. Sheila returned and we for some lunch. We enjoyed a pork chop sandwich, a ham and cheese and some sodas. 

After lunch we ventured over to "Dotty's" casino and we played Keno for about 2 hours. We won almost $60 dollars on a $20 dollar bet. It was so much fun.

We returned to Sheila and Dave's home and it is snowing again. WTF? We are staying in for the evening. Elise is enjoying her 3rd "Dirty Girl" and she can barely write in our trip book. It is very cold out and still snowing. We called it another good day in Butte.

I will have a chin-wag at you later. Have a great Friday and stay safe. We saw the movie "Shaft" yesterday and we loved it. It is good, funny and it is a true "Shaft" movie. It reminded me of the original back in the day. WooHoo!

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

THIS TUCSON HAM IS NO COMPARISON TO THE BUTTE, MONTANA HAM

What's up? We just got back from "Gus Balones" and we enjoyed our breakfast as usual. They are going to be closed after this Saturday for a whole month. What are we going to,eh?

Sister Jayne is here caring for Chris and my shorty is in the main house preparing something for me to add to our blog.

We are going to hit up the movies this afternoon to see "Shaft". Yes, he is a bad "Mother" shut your mouth, but I am talking about Shaft. We can dig it!

Hey, my (fidanzata) has lost it today. She is on my case to no end. Which is fine with me because I have devised a totally new secret weapon just for her. It will be available on Saturday evening. It will have a (kick) to it let me tell you. It brings back (college) days. I am not talking about (pantie raids)either! Smile!

Hey, what did you think about last nights debate? We are looking forward to it tonight. 

Continue to enjoy your day and keep moving forward.

Chat at you later.

Flo, (girlfriend) wonderful Ronald McDonald photos. Wow! The will make the blog for sure.

  Buon Giovedi! Come Stai? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning but she will be up and about soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and it is a nice Colombian blend and a second cup will be enjoyed at "Gus Balones" along with a nice breakfast. It is going to be another scorcher here in the Old Pueblo. Sister Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris.

  Alexa, is asleep this morning but I am going to wake her up before we head out for breakfast. I am going to ask her to play some "Down Home Blues" today. I am looking forward to the delivery of the new pump for our jacuzzi today. WooHoo!

  Well, last night's "Mahjong" fest was wonderful our host my girlfriend Shoo Shoo set a spread that was fit for a king and queen.

  The fest was going on very well and Shoo Shoo won the first round. Sister Jayne won the second round, Elise won the third round, the (cat) won 4 rounds, and I Mahjonged but it was a technical issue so it didn't count. I said a few choice words under my breath. Smile! 

  Come to find out what happened is that my girlfriend brought out a secret weapon of her own and it was just for me and it worked. We brought out our secret weapon for her and it worked on everyone at the table. A few mistakes were being made prior to our secret weapon being presented. So I decided to share the secret weapon that Shoo Shoo had for me and it had a toll on everyone to include Shoo Shoo. 

  Shoo Shoo prepared a very nice sherbet for dessert. Of course the vino (rosso) was plentiful, smile! It was a wonderful evening and we are looking forward to next months meeting. Thank you Shoo Shoo for a grand evening of true friendship. Love you dearly. The evening went so well that we forgot to take photos. I am installing a few choice words here, smile!

  This evening we are meeting up with Papa John and Jane for dinner. It should be a good evening and we can catch up on the latest happenings.

Here is a little bit more about what went on in Butte, Montana. Enjoy!

19 June 19

We arrived in Butte at 112:40pm. Sheila picked us it and we went to her house. It was a nice day but it was supposed to take a nose-dive tomorrow. It was supposed to be 35 degrees.

We sat around and talked and then we went to a couple of casinos. We enjoyed a few free drinks at each one and we had fun.

Afterword's we went to dinner t "The Derby". We all had steaks and more drinks. After dinner we gambled a bit more and then went home.

After we arrived back at Sheila and Dave's Elise got a call from Zack and they talked for an hour. She was glad that he called. We hit the sheets at around 9:00pm and we read for awhile. A good day in Butte, Montana.

Have a great day and stay safe, happy and well. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Hey Leticia, glad to hear that you are enjoying and following our blog. Thank you!

Buon Pomeriggio!

Buon Pomeriggio!

SISTER JET

Are you good? All is well here in central Tucson, but it is a hot one already. Whew!

I got all of my To Do List tasks taken care of and Alexa is playing some ''Smooth Jazz" for me now. I am getting my groove on and my (mojo) is working. Ya, Mon'.

I just helped Sister Jayne set up her new smart TV. Let me tell you it almost outsmarted me but I was the victor like I am going to be tonight at "Mahjong".  My girlfriend Shoo Shoo is rolling it on very thick about who the victor is going to. So I will bring my boots just it gets too deep. Smile!

Following suit is my (fidanzata). She is giving me grief and taunting me oh so much today. I will not let her get into  my head at all. I am a professional "Wizard" player with tremendous skills and tactics. I am a (ninja) Wizard if you will. So bring it (fidanzata) you know what's up! Capo Jim cannot save you this weekend! No doubt!

Here are a few more pics from Butte, Montana. Enjoy!

I will chat at you later....Jessie
