"BUON ANNIVERSARIO DI MATRIMONIO, ELISE"

We got about 10 drops of rain. Just enough to spot up the "Bellezza Nera".

I just got back from my doctor's appointment, and all is good.  We see him again in December.

My playmate is out and about. She has a doctor's appointment as well.

I am starving for some reason this morning, so I had better see what is available to (grub) on.

I want to thank everyone for the texts, calls, and emails wishing us a great Annies Day.

I am going to start on my new rock shorty. Stay safe and hydrated desert dwellers.

Sister Tiger, thanks for posting on the blog today. Hugs!

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

I will start a new rock today, and my playmate has a rock prepped.

Well, our Video Game Fest yesterday started at noon and lasted until 8pm. It was a lot of fun. We dined on pizza, Jack and Coke. For dessert my shorty made a couple of "White Russian's" with Soft Serve. All good.

I will be tackling a (Core) session shortly. My playmate will be hitting the pool in a bit. She also has a doctor's appointment this morning. I am sure that she will get her froyo fix on today.

Later this afternoon I will be going to the "Live Theater Workshop" to set up for the new 26-27 season.

Hey, today is our anniversary. 23 years of bliss!

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

Hey, desert dwellers are you melting yet? It is another hot one here in Tucson and it is barely noon.

We enjoyed a good breakfast at the "Egg Connection", but the business was a bit slow.

I just got back from stopping in on the eastside for a minute at the Credit Union.

My playmate is in her office on her "Mac". She is also watering plants and trees out in the front yard.

We will start to play video games soon.

Yes, today is Chefs Day. My Sous and I will be back in the (cucina) tossing around pots and pans. Today's fare is "Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops, Baked Potatoes, and Peas. My Sous will select the proper libation to accompany the feast. This is made possible by my fidanzata and Capo Jim. I was gifted the chops for a birthday present.

My shorty will be walking the mall today. She will also be taking the (Pearl) to be washed inside and out. I think I will take the Bellezza Nera to be washed as well. I am sure that my playmate will get her froyo fix before she goes grocery shopping.

I only received a partial issue of my order from Naked Wines yesterday. So, I contacted the company last night and complained. So, that means I may be staying home just in case the deliver is today.

Hey, desert dwellers where is the rain?  Are you staying hydrated?

I just got back from taking care of my tasks for today. I was out too long, and I feel myself starting to melt. Yes, fidanzata and girlfriends (sugar) melts, smile!

My playmate is out swimming, and I am sure that she will get her froyo fix before she returns home.

On a sad note. We were informed this morning that my playmates longtime friend and principal at the school she worked at passed away this morning in hospice. His name was Charles. We send out our deepest condolences to the family at this trying time. Charles was dealing with Parkinsons.

Azalya is cooling it in the (Man Cave.) I need to check her water and food supply.

I completed my (Core) workout and it is killer when you have missed a couple of days.

Enjoy the day.
