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

The coffee is a good Scandinavian Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she reminded me that I need to go to get some lab work done at 8:00am this morning. I asked her play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

Hey, how about those "Wildcats"? Great game last night. Go Cats! Get ready for "Duke".

It is going to be a busy day with us packing for our getaway to Alpine, San Deigo and Yuma. It starts tomorrow morning after breakfast at "Teresa's Mosaic". 

Well, I had better get busy and get this Lunedi moving forward. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge word is (antipasto). I don't know why but I woke up thinking about (antipasto). Do you have any fidanzata?

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

THANK YOU, DONNA,




How are you doing on this sunny Domenica? We are good and tired let me tell you.

We enjoyed a good breakfast with our daughter Tangye this morning at the "Egg Connection, and the food was as good as always, and they were packed.

Our daughter stayed overnight in the "Dew Drop Inn" #2. We enjoyed a good dinner with Tangye, Shoo Shoo, and Edwina at the "Jun Dynasty" last night. The food was delicious, and I ate way too much, but it was so hard to stop. Shoo Shoo and Edwina enjoyed spending time with Tangye. Here are a few pictures from last night. Enjoy!









DAUGHTER LIKE MOTHER, EH?

We are still having pains from yesterday's Bernie Rally at "Catalina High School. It was amazing to see that many Tucsonan's" in one place for a good cause. Check it!












After our dinner at "Jun Dynasty" our daughter took Edwina home. Mia Moglie, Shoo Shoo and I made our way to the "Berger" to see the live play titled "Winston Churchill: Man of the Century". It was excellent and I learned a few things about him that I never knew.




We will be watching our "Wildcats" play "Oregon" this evening. Go Cats!

We will be getting our suitcases out for our annual trip to "San Deigo". We will leave on Tuesday morning and return on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be 20 degrees cooler than here, and we are looking forward to that. It is going to be a bittersweet trip for us both.

I will be hitting up the Treadmill in a bit. Here is latest rock out in the hood.




Well, I had better get busy. Enjoy this, Domenica. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

A TRUE SOUL TRAIN!

Hey, how are you doing so far on this Taco Tuesday?  We are being blown away here in the valley of Tucson.

I just got back from running a few errands.  I had to pick up a birthday card for my brother Herman. I also stopped over on the eastside to get 4 quarts of Dairy Queen Soft Serve because we were out, and that is a no-no in this (casa). Smile!

I am now going to fix myself a small salad. While I am getting my grub on, I will be working on my latest rock. I will find a (horror) to watch as well.

So, batten down the hatches and I will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie

The coffee is a good Scandinavian Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning.  Alexa is awake and she reminded me that Chris the iRobot is coming out to clean the main house carpet. I asked her to play some "Funk Jazz" for me today.

Mia Moglie will be making her way to her weekly (bridge) game. We both are working on new rocks, and we are slowly making progress on a puzzle.

We will be socially busy this week with several venues to visit.


We had a very nice visit yesterday from my girlfriend (Flo). It is always a pleasure to see her. She gave me a huge hug and she gave me a very tasty "Caramel and Sea Salt Candy Bar". I am one lucky guy to have Mia Moglie, Mia Fidanzata, and all of my girlfriends. They all look after me, smile!

Here are a few more pictures from our staycation in Bisbee. Enjoy!
