Buon Venerdi!  TGIF!  How are you doing? We are hanging in there. We have so much to get done, but we have formulated a plan of action that will not be overwhelming.

Today we are going to give Azalya a bath and spray. Later this morning we are going to drop in on Paula and Marty for a short visit.

This evening, we are going out to dinner with my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina at "Kingfishers". After dinner Shoo Shoo will join us at the "Invisible Theater" for a live play.

We want to thank my sister Marcie and brother Blake, for making sure that Chris's obituary information got posted on my Facebook page correctly.

We want to thank my sister Jet and brother Red, for planting a tree in Chris's honor. A wonderful gesture.

We want to thank my sister Tiger and brother Ray, for the wonderful Sympathy Gift Box of goodies. So nice.

Again, thank you all for the support, emails, cards, phone calls, flowers, gifts and love. 

Thank you, Paula and Marty, for a wonderful afternoon with you. Thanks for lunch at the Bario Brewery.

Enjoy your TGIF! Stay safe and I will chat at you later as time permits.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Buon Giovedi! Sete Giovedi!  How are you doing? We hope that your Thirsty Thursday is going well.

As many of you know that we lost our son (Chris) on 22 April at 4:12am. As you can guess we have a lot to get done over the next few weeks. Our lives have and will change greatly. We are pleased that Chris is in a better place, and he will have no more pain.

You can view his obituary at Desert Rose Heather online.

I will continue our blog because that is what Chris would have wanted me to do. It will be a different in a way, but it will be the same. I am so grateful for all of the concern about our blog. The blog is my outlet for stress, and it has been a blessing for me over the years.

We will have a Celebration of Life event for Chris in the fall when the weather is cooler.

We are thankful for all of the calls, cards, emails, texts, flowers, meals that we have received. 

Today's challenge word is one that I used above for our mood. That word is (guasto). It means broken. That is what we feel right now.

Enjoy the day and we will chat at you later. Stay well and safe.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

How are you doing? Hope a bit better than we are today.

I was so busy today that I did not have time to post to the blog. My first task was to get Sorella Jayne out so she could grocery shop. After that I made my way over to the east side to get a little cash for our trip to San Diego.

We both have been under the weather today. We have been making numerous trips to the (loo). Yes, I mean skip, skip, skip to the (loo). TMI, right? We still are making trips to the (loo). Smile!

Hopefully we will feel better in the morning. Get a good night's sleep and we will chat at you later. We will have our cells and tablets with us.
