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

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

Mia Moglie will be going to "Himmel Park" for her Tai Chi Class. After that she will hit up the pool.

We both have new rocks prepped for our next rock creation.

I did 30 minutes of "Chair Yoga" this morning. I will do this every morning this month or longer. Got to get extra toned for our Midwest Vacay. Woohoo!

We will be seeing a movie today at Park Place or the Loft.

This evening we will be dining at "Biergarten". "Biergarten" is the new German restaurant here in Tucson. My playmate will be paying up for our bet on the NBA Final result. Can you say "Schnitzel"? I will for sure along with a stein of cold beer. Prost!

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

Hello desert dwellers. How are you doing? It is supposed to be 108 degrees today and it feels like we are already there. Whew!

We enjoyed a good breakfast at "Gus Balons", and the food was as good as ever. They will be closed until the first week in August. We will venture to "Bread and Butter" or "Hungry Fox".

Here are the rocks we dropped at "Gus Balons". Enjoy!



I am working on a new rock already, and so is my playmate.

We are waiting on the cooler guy to arrive to pump a new pump in the Evap Cooler.

We had planned on going to Park Place Mall to see the movie "Leviticus", but we may have to postpone it for this afternoon.

Today is the birthday of my baby brother Jerome who was taken from us way too soon. Love you, brother!
