Buon Lunedi!  How are you doing? It is a nice, mostly sunny morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good "French Roast" and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today.  I asked her to play some "Contemporary Jazz" for me today.

The forecast calls for rain every day this week. Right! We sure could use some here in the desert.

Today is a day for memories, reflection, and heartfelt sadness. Today's is Chris's birthday. He would have been 55 years old. We miss him terribly and we wish that he was still here with us. He enjoyed celebrating his birthday with opening presents and singing "Happy Birthday".



HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS

I will be starting a new rock today, and my shorty is working on her latest rock.

We saw the movie "Freakier Friday" yesterday at the "Roadhouse Cinema". It was very funny, and the theater was packed.

Well, I had better get this day started. Have a good Lunedi. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge word is (sporco). I need to clean the Keurig because it is getting (sporco). Cannot have that right fidanzata?

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

ESSENCE!

We are still melting, heh desert dwellers. When will we get some relief?

Mia Moglie just to do some grocery shopping, and I am sure that she will get her froyo fix. She more than likely will walk the mall to cool down. 

I just got back from running my errands out on the airbase. I stopped in the commissary to pick up some meat specials.

Azalya is relaxing in the guest house, and she is watching TV.

We hope that your Sabato is going well for you. I stopped at my fidanzata's home to see how she is doing, but no answer. 😞

The food at "Renee's Pizza" was very good and plentiful. The vino rosso was spot on as well. Looking forward to our next get together at "Figs".

Buon Pomeriggio!



MIA MOGLIE WITH MY SORELLA TIGER IN TENNESSEE!

How is it going desert dwellers?  Yes, we have a heat warning in effect. So, what is new, right?

I got all of my errands and tasks taken care of this morning. To include getting the "Bellezza Nera" washed inside and out. She is very happy now.

Mia Moglie just left to get her froyo fix and while she is out, she will take the "Pearl" to the car wash as well.

 I have started a new rock and while I am working on it, I am watching an "Italian" movie to help me with my "Italian".  Capisce?

I have to tell you that I am moving around very slowly today, because of working on the hedge tree yesterday. Washing the "Bellezza Nera" didn't help much with the soreness. Not a bit. You do what you have to do, Si?

We hope that your Lunedi is going well and that you are keeping cool as best you can.

Enjoy the day. I will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise
