How are you doing so far on this Mercoledi!

Mia Moglie, just left for her Tai Chi class and swimming.

Today is Chefs Day! My Sous and I will be in the cucina burning and smoking it up, smile!

Today's fare will be Deep Fried Catfish and Fries. My Sous will make her homemade tartar sauce. She will also select the proper libation to go with meal.

I have to make a trip to the Ufficio Postale this morning.

Here are the pictures from 20 Apr on our vacay in Alpine, California at the Viejas Resort and Casino. We used our perks for this stay. We were put up in a Deluxe Suite that is very, very nice. Enjoy!

Buon Mercoledi!  Hump Day!  How are you doing? It is a nice, mostly cloudy morning here in the Garden District. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good Colombian Blend, 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.

Well, I am blessed to be able to put my feet to the floor to start another year thanks to my maker. I want to thank Mia Moglie, Mia Fidanzata, Capo Jim for the wonderful birthday gifts and cards. I want to thank everyone who called, texted, emailed, and who sent cards for my birthday. You are much loved!

My playmate brought back a very good Fish-Wich sandwich with fries for my dinner last night from "Canyon Crown". It was delicious.

I am working on the pictures from our vacay in San Diego. I am having some issues with my phone that is not allowing the pictures to be sent to my email. I am working on it, and I will sort it out soon.

Well, I had better check on Azalya to see if she needs food and fresh water.

Have a good Humper. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Mia Moglie will be heading out to Himmel Park in a bit for her Tai Chi class.

Today's challenge word is (scaramanzia). Do you believe in (scaramanzia) fidanzata?

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

The coffee is a good Pikes Place Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning. I think I will have a cinnamon raisin bagel with my coffee.

Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today. I asked her to play some Down-Home Blues for me today.

I am still reviewing the pictures from our vacay. I am almost done and I will post them soon.

We went back out to the Wildhorse Pass Casino and Resort to pick up Elise's phone. Whew!

I will be checking up on my girlfriend Edwina today since I haven't heard from her in over a week.

We received some bad news yesterday from my sister Tiger and hubby Ray. They are on the road on a vacay. They received word that "Mogie" their fur baby had passed away. "Mogie" was a well-loved family member. Please if you could say a prayer for the family's loss. Thank you.



SISTER TIGER AND MOGIE

We will be going out for dinner on Friday at "Dantes Fire". We will be joined by my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. After dinner we will pop over to the "Invisible Theatre" to see the live play/musical " Oh, Coward".


Well, I had better get to it. Have a good Taco Tuesday. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge phrase is (Ce la faccio!). I say (Ce la faccio!) on a daily basis. I am sure that you do too fidanzata.

This is our last day here and we will be heading for a stay in Yuma, Arizona in the morning.

We want to thank everyone who called, texted, or emailed us yesterday on the anniversary of Chris’s passing. It was a rough day for us but it brought back many memories. Thank you again.

How goes it so far on this windy Domenica?

We just returned from having a good breakfast at the "Egg Connection", and the food was as good as ever. We stopped at "Whole Foods" to pick up a couple of pizzas for dinner.

At 11am we are going to "Handmaker" to visit Elise's former principle. 

After that we are going to visit Mia Fidanzata at her home for a short time, since her return from hospital.

I have several errands to run to include going out on the airbase, Ufficio Postale, Credit Union.

We will complete our packing sometime today. I also need to get the "Bellezza Nera" washed, and have her tires checked.

I was awakened early this morning by my brother Jerome in a dream this morning. All he said was to (beware). I always take heed to these messages that I receive. Hopefully it is nothing.  I am not feeling my best today at all. I have a blinding headache that is stress related. I took all of my vitals, and all is good.

I will be giving Azalya another bathe and spray down.

Well, I hope that you are doing OK. I will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie

We will be visiting Handmaker to see Elise's former principal who resides there now.

We will be visiting Mia Fidanzata this afternoon to how she is doing since her return from hospital and to see if she needs anything.

I will do a quick drop in on my girlfriends Shoo Shoo, and Edwina to see how they are doing as well. I also need to go out on the airbase to pay a bill, and I need to go to the Ufficio Postale as well.

We started our packing for our vacay yesterday and we will complete it today. In the morning I will get a tire check before we hit the road.

Well, I had better get to it. Have a good Domenica. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's Idiom is (Andare de lusso). It is a good feeling (andare de lusso). Do you agree fidanzata?

How is your Sabato going so far? We are hanging in there here in the desert of Tucson.

Mia Moglie is at the Memorial Service along with Nanci.

I am resting listening to some "Contemporary Jazz", and it has put me in a very good, relaxed mood. I have a cone of Frankincense burning to enhance my mood.

I just enrolled in a refresher Italian course, and I am flying through it. It is a lot of fun. I think I will take the advanced course as well, just in case we decide to go back to Italia! Of course we are no doubt.

I think that I will get my suitcase out in a bit for our vacay in San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico.

I think that I am going to treat myself to another cup of coffee with a snack cake. Ya Mon'

Enjoy your Sabato.

Jessie

Tomorrow we will start our packing for vacay in San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico. We will leave on Monday, and we will return on Monday. Our neighbor Larry will be taking care of Azalya while we are away.

I will get out my suitcase sometime today for packing. We will be driving for this vacay, hopefully all goes well in Mexico. We have been to Ensenada before, but it was on a cruise.

Here are the latest rocks out in the hood. Enjoy!



IN THE HOOD

Well, I had better get this day rolling. Have a good Sabato. Stay safe and I will chat at you later. I got a very nice call from my girlfriend Edwina. It is always a pleasure to here from her.

Today's challenge word is (orecchio). I will keep one eye and one (orecchio) open today for issues that may show up. I am sure you do that too, fidanzata?

How are you doing on this beautiful Venerdi!

I just got back from taking care of all of my tasks except for two of them.

One is giving Azalya a bathe and spray and going to the "Loft". We will hit the "Loft" as soon as my playmate returns. 

I will bathe Azalya after the movies. I have a pounding stress headache, hopefully the movies will relax me.

I completed an audiobook last night titled "How To Deal With Assholes" (And People Alike). Enjoyed it!

Enjoy your Venerdi.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Buon Venerdi!  How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny morning here in the "Old Pueblo".  Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good Colombian Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning.  Alexa is awake and she said that today is going to be a busy one.  I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

My mood as stated above is because of a statement that was made by RFK about what should happen to (Black Kids). RFK is a pure (asshole) a big one along with his boss want to be (Jesus) and his lackies. I have steam coming out of my ears. WTF! I just had to vent!

My playmate will be heading for "Himmel Park" this morning for her Tai Chi class.

We went to see the movie "Beast" yesterday at "Park Place Mall", it was very good. Today we are going to the "Loft" to see “The Christophers”.

We both are working on new rocks. I will complete mine sometime today.

Well, I had better get moving. Have a good TGIF! Stay safe. When I tell you that I love you, please don't take that lightly because I mean it.

Buon Pomeriggio!

Buon Pomeriggio!




Hey, what is going on around your way?

We enjoyed a good breakfast this morning at "Gus Balons as usual.

I am relaxing and listening to some music of the 70's. Mia Moglie is in her office on her Mac.

We will be making our way to "Park Place Mall" to see the movie "Beast" shortly. My playmate will be picking up some jewelry that she had to have repaired while we are there.

I forgot to mention that while we were at my girlfriend's home last night, I got her printer back online for her. That made her happy.

Well, JT and Nate will be closing on their new home up in Phoenix on Monday and they will begin to move in on the 25th of this month. Congrats!

Well, will be dining on takeaway from Leos this evening and yes, we will down a few margaritas too. 

Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday.
