MY KIND OF (DONNA), HOT!

How are you doing so far on this sunny Lunedi?

I just got back from running an errand on the east side of town. I also stop in at the cemetery to visit with (Wes), Chris, and my parents.

I asked Wes how I am doing with caring for Mia Moglie. I asked my parents for some much-needed advice, because I am not feeling my best. I have veered away from my upbringing, and I need to return to it (subito). 

I am sure that the advice will be take care of me first, as I am always being told that by Jeanne, a long, long-time friend who lives here in Tucson

Mia Moglie has left to go swimming.  I will start a search for hotels in Yuma, AZ for next month. We will be taking our annual trip to San Diego. The trip is bittersweet and it bring back many memories for us, especially me. My sister Tiger loves it there. 

Enjoy your day.

Ciao...Jessie

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

The coffee is a good Paradise 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 day for me. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

I started my day off at 5:00am. I woke up from a startling dream, that I am sure that it was a wakeup call for me. I was in the fetal position when I woke up and I was very, very angry, something told me it is time for payback.

I have always said that if you caused me any harm, pain, grief, that I would get even with you, not right then but I did let you know that your day is coming verbally or in my mind. The time has come! I got up and I looked at Mia Moglie, and I said "Thank you and that I love you".

I am going to visit the cemetery this morning to have a talk with (Wes), Chris, and my parents. Weird you might think but it is something that I do.

Our "Tuna Jalapeno Dip", was delicious. We played video games from noon yesterday until 9:00pm. We also kept track of the basketball games as well.


Here is my shorty's latest rock. I will be starting a new one today as well.

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

The coffee is a good Paradise Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connection", along with a good breakfast. Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today.  I asked her to play some "Fusion Jazz" for me today.

Hey, how about our "Wildcats"? They are going to the Final Four. Last night's game was very exciting. Go Cats!




My shorty and I attended one of many "No Kings Day" rallies here in Tucson. The turnout was tremendous and fun. I will post photos from the rally as soon as I review them.

Today is "Laptop Game Day". We will be playing video games for hours while enjoying my "World Famous Tuna Jalapeno Dip with Frito Scoops". It is a lot of fun let me tell you.

Here are a few more pictures from our cruise. Enjoy! 














Well, I had better get this day moving along straightaway. Have a good Domenica. Stay safe and I will have a chinwag at you later.

Tomorrow I am going to visit the cemetery where (Wes and Chris plots are. I am going to have a conversation with them and my parents. I do this whenever I feel really down. Lately, have veered from what my parents taught my brothers and me. I need to put myself first always before I try to please others. So, I need to get back to that quickly.  My dear friend Jeanne reminds me of that a lot, and I am grateful to her for that. I have known Jeanne for way over 30 years.

Today's challenge word is (Mamma mia). I said (Mamma mia), after the Wildcats won last night. I also say (Mamma mia), when I see my fidanzata.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

MY LATEST ROCK CREATION


How are you doing on this warm, windy afternoon?

We just got back from attending a protest rally on Speedway and Country Club here in Tucson. There were tons of people in attendance, and the vibe was refreshing. We were joined by Deb for this one. We were proud to be there. I will post pictures as soon as I get them reviewed. My sister Tiger was worried that we might wind up in jail. Love my sister.

After the rally we went to Frozen Delight to get some froyo to cool us down and it did the trick.

Mia Moglie is now in her office on her Mac. In a bit I am going to hit the (cucina) to make my "World Famous Tuna Jalapeno Dip for tomorrows "Video Game Fest". The Fest will take up most of the day.

This evening we will be watching basketball. Our "Wildcats" will be playing "Purdue". Go Cats!




Well, I had better head over to the main house to watch the news before I hit the (cucina). Going to look at all of the rallies all the country and abroad too.

Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Buon Venerdi!  TGIF!  How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny morning here in the valley of Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good Morning 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 of his cradle this morning to clean the main house carpet. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

The movie, "Project Hail Mary" was very good. I have a couple of errands to take care of this morning, to include a trip to the "Ufficio Postale".

My shorty will be hitting up "Himmel Park" this morning for her Tai Chi class, and afterwards she will go swimming.

We will be playing "Wii" games this afternoon. Hopefully we will crush it.

Hey, how about our "Wildcats"? The game last night was very good and now they are on their way to "Elite Eight". They play Purdue on Saturday. Go Cats!

Tomorrow we will at the "No Kings Rally". We will be joined by Deb.

I will continue working on my latest rock today. My playmate is starting a new on as well.

Well, I had better get this day started. Have a good TGIF! Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

How are you doing? We just got back from having a good breakfast at "Gus Balons", and the food was as good as ever.

After breakfast we stopped to pick up some meds, and my playmates new glasses.

My shorty is in the main house on her Mac. We will be heading for "Park Place Mall" to see the movie "Project Hail Mary" this afternoon. The previews were great.

In a bit I will get back to working on my latest rock creation.
