31 JAN IN THE HOOD

We enjoyed leftover Jerk Chicken and Black Beans with Rice for dinner. It was still delicious and very filling. We watched a new series titled the "Maid". It is very interesting, and it was filmed in Washington State. We recognized a lot of the areas to include the ferry boat rides.

I am caring for Chris tonight and my shorty is in the main house watching the news. She is also on her Mac checking her email. Chris is watching TV and having his supplemental drip.

We have a Bulk and Brush event coming up this week and I will be going through and putting stuff out for it. A bit of an early Spring Clean Up, if you will.

Well, I had better check on Chris. Get a good night's sleep so you can be ready for Taco Tuesday.

Buona Notte...Jessie and Elise

Was your day a good one? It has been a good one here today.

I got all of my tasks completed today, and that is always a good thing.

My playmate prepared breakfast for dinner and it was delicious. We had homemade pecan pancakes, sausages, eggs, and plenty of coffee to get it down.

We watched the final episode of "How to Get Away with Murder" and the ending was spectacular. We are now watching the final season of "The Ozarks". Chris watched it with us, and he likes it.

My shorty and I are working on new rocks. I will post them as soon as they are finished.

I am caring for Chris tonight and my playmate is in the main house watching the news. Chris is watching TV and enjoying his supplemental drip.

I received a book that I ordered titled "You Don't Know Us Negroes" by Zora Neale Hurston. She is nicknamed the "Genius of The South". I have read her work before, and she is an inspiration. I will dig into this book tonight.

Tomorrow morning, I will be taking Sister Jayne for her annual physical. It is going to be another busy day.

Get a good night's sleep so you can be ready for "Hump Day". Stay safe.

Brother Ray and Brett at the Titans Football Game!

Did your day end well? It has been a busy one for me. I did some cactus cutting in the front yard and I got that all boxed up for the upcoming Brush and Bulk pickup.

I had an issue with the caregiver about her care for Chris today. It was something that someone with over 26 years of experience should know.

I prepared Grilled Cheese sandwiches for dinner. Elise had baby carrots. peppers, and avocado with hers. I had a slice of ham with mine, and baby carrots, and a pepper. It was all good. We watched "Family Feud" and "How to Get Away with Murder on Netflix. A very good series that is about to end. Bugger!

Here is my latest rock creation. Enjoy!
