Buon Martedi! Taco Tuesday!  How are you doing? It is a chilly, sunny morning here in the valley of Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good "Cafe Verona Blend", and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she reminded me that I need to put up the rest of the Christmas Lights on the main house.  I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

My shorty is still counting sheep this morning, but she will be putting feet to the floor soon. She will be playing (bridge) this afternoon.

We saw the movie "Sentimental Value" at the "Loft" yesterday. It is in subtitles, but it is very, very good.

MIA MOGLIE AT THE "LOFT"

I had a very nice conversation with my girlfriend Edwina yesterday afternoon. She needed to take care of a matter that she spoke of and she did. I checked to see if she needed some assistance.

Well, I had better get busy. Have a good Martedi! Stay safe and enjoy this Taco Tuesday.

Today's challenge word is (neve). Will we get some (neve) this month?

We saw the movie "Jay Kelly" yesterday and it was very good. The "Loft" really looks good inside. We haven't been there in quite a while.

My shorty and I stared to put up Christmas Lights out in the front yard trees. It looks pretty good. We will add more soon.

My playmate is out swimming, and she will return soon. It is a bit chilly out, but it feels good when you are in the sun.

Our nephew Zack is still counting Javelinas in Dew Drop Inn room #1.

Can you believe that I am starting to get hungry? Where is that leftover turkey?

The coffee is a good Scandinavian Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she reminded me that Chris the iRobot will be coming out this morning to clean the main house carpet. I asked her to play some music to cook by.

Yes, today is a Chef Day. I will be preparing "Candied Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows" for Turkey Day.

The (stucco) guys will be here today, hopefully to finish up the job.

My playmate is still working on her latest rock, and it is coming along nicely.

I will be making a trip to the post office today. I will also be checking on the status of the 22lb Turkey and Turkey Breast to make sure that is going to be thawed out totally. Turkey and Turkey Breast will be ready for seasoning tomorrow.

I will once again go over Dew Drop Inn rooms# 1 and 2 to make sure that they are ready for occupancy.

How is your day going so far? I just finished with my cleaning of the guesthouse and Dew Drop Inn room #2.

I am going to recheck Dew Drop Inn room #1 this afternoon. I will also recheck the bathroom at the Dew Drop Inn room #1.

With that all done the rooms are ready for Thanksgiving occupancy. Our nephew Zack will be staying in Dew Drop room #1 and my cognata will occupy Dew Drop Inn room #2.

I am going to check the status of the thawing 22lb Butterball and the Turkey Breast.

On Tuesday I will prepare the Candied Sweet Potato Casserole with marshmallows.

I am getting my part of the holiday taken care of beforehand, in anticipation of some drama to which I want no part of on Turkey Day. We are looking forward to having my girlfriends Edwina and Deb joining us for dinner. Hopefully everything will go off on time, but that is more than likely not!

As long as there is football on TV and plenty of Jack and Coke, I will get through it. We are going to dine at "Leos" on Wednesday prior to Turkey Day without a hitch, smile! Margaritas will help with that for sure.

I may seem a bit negative, but I am used to having my stomach growl and grumble. I miss Sheila because she was my lifeline on Turkey Day and Christmas.

I completed my errands for today and now I am going to try to relax a bit.

Well, I had better check on my shorty. She is in the main house on her Mac.

Enjoy the day and I will chat at you later. We are hosting around 14 or 15 people on Turkey Day.
