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

The coffee is a good Costa Rico 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 "Down Home Blues" for me today.

We will be going to "Arts Express" this afternoon to see the live musical "Man of La Mancha". It is going to be a good one. We will be joined by my girlfriend Shoo Shoo.

Here is what happened on 21 Oct on our Midwest vacay. Enjoy!

At around 3:00pm we are now in Joplin, Missouri. It rained a while we were driving, but not a whole lot. We had breakfast at "The Easy Egg Stop". Elise had a very unusual oatmeal, and I had some very strange pork chops. It was good but different.

Weather here is in the mid 70's. We stopped at Micky Ds for lunch before we checked into our hotel. We were planning to go to a movie later.

At 7:00pm we went to the movies. It was very expensive: $26.00 to get in and $27 for popcorn and cokes. 

We returned to our room to rest and getting ready to call it a day. Tomorrow we will head for St. Louis.

Well, I had better get ready for breakfast. Have a good Domenica. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge phrase is ( Cosa hai fatto ultimamente, fidanzata?)

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

How are you doing desert dwellers? It is a very windy Sabato here in Tucson. 

We enjoyed a good breakfast at "Bread and Butter" this morning. We were joined by my cognata.

We had a very nice dinner last night at "Doughbird". The food was delicious. We were joined by my cognata as well. Afterward we made our way over to the "Invisible Theater" to see the live play "Eureka Day". It was about a mumps outbreak that turns a progressive school's board into a battleground where facts become subjective. This razor-sharp comedy was excellent and the actors were fantatic.

Here is what happened on 20 Oct on our vacay to the Midwest area.

We are now in Wichita, Kansas. We stopped at Micky Ds for some lunch. It is chilly outside and rainy. The temp is in the low 60's and windy.

We arrived at our hotel at around 3:15pm. We went to Dorothy's of the Wizard of Oz Museum. We stayed in the car because it was raining so hard and most of the museum was outside, so we decided to pass on it. We did take a couple pictures.

THE FAMOUS RED SLIPPERS

Later we went to see a movie. It is raining out still. So, we ate so popcorn, and we were too full to go for dinner. We enjoyed a candy bar for dessert. 

We returned to our hotel, and we called it game over. We both slept for over 8 hours last night. The bed here was not as good as the previous one, but not bad.

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

The coffee is a good Costa Rico 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 "Funk Jazz" for me today.

My playmate will be going to "Himmel Park" this morning for her "Tai Chi" class. Afterward she will hit the pool. I was glad to hear that my fidanzata is back at the "Tai Chi" class.

We saw the movie "Clayface" yesterday at Park Place Mall. It was very good. We will hit up the "Loft" today to see the movie "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York". It should be a good one.

This evening we will be dining at "Doughbird". We will be joined by my (cognata). After dinner we will make our way over to the "Invisible Theater", to see the live play "Eureka Day". It is going to be a good one.

We will start to paint Thanksgiving Rocks soon. My girlfriend Nicolette sent another perfect rock for painting.

We are in the process of preparing for our family "Thanksgiving Day". We will celebrate it on the 27th of November.

Here is went on our vacay to the Midwest. 19 Oct in Liberal, Kansas.

We are in Liberal, Kansas. It was a bleak drive through New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. We are glad that we don't live here. Way too flat.

We checked into our hotel. It is a Best Western Plus. The night before I slept 9 hours plus and Mia Moglie slept for 10 hours plus. Wow, that never happens in Tucson.

Today was a day of rest. We did go for a for a mile, and a half walk in the area.

We dined at an "Applebee's". The weather here is in the 70's. We returned to our room, and we called it a day. We are content.

How are you doing? We enjoyed a good breakfast at "Gus Balons".

My playmate left for her hair and man-pedi appointment with Nicolette.

The HVAC techs just left. They will return next week to begin installing the Spliter ACs in the Man Cave.

We will be hitting Park Place Mall to see the movie "Clayface" a Marvel movie. The previews looked very good.

We will be dining in Leo's takeaway for dinner. Yes, there will be margaritas.

Here is what happened on our Midwest vacay on 18 Oct in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Enjoy!

We left Truth or Consequences at around 9:30am. The time changed and we didn't realize it, so it was later than we thought.

Before we left, we sprinkled some of Chris's ashes in the park where Sara and Matt got married. Very nice.

We didn't stop to eat until one hour later. We stopped at a small truck stop, but the food was great and cheap. I had Pork Chops that cost $12.00, as opposed to $17.00 in Tucson. A steal!

We arrived in Santa Rosa, New Mexico at around 3:30pm. We checked into our hotel. We are now watching or Kansas City Chiefs play football.

It is now 7:30pm. We took a walk and then we went to a Mexican food place close by. The food was so-so and the server was a real (bitch). Elise asked her for an extra napkin and she never brought one. Elise asked her again for an extra napkin and she never brought one. Elise asked her for more salsa as well. The tip Elise gave her was not a good one. Oh well!

We returned our hotel and we called it a day, here in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.

How are you doing? Well, the HVAC people will not be here until tomorrow morning.

So, my playmate and I went to Park Place Mall to see the movie "Wickerman". It was a different type of movie, but we were very much entertained, and we had the whole theater to ourselves was a plus.

We got a special invitation to attend the new casino “Casino Del Sol Vahi Taa’AM” before the grand opening date of 15 November . Our date to attend is 12 November .It is good to be a (Player). Cha Ching!

Here is what happened on day one 17 Oct of our vacay to the Midwest area. Enjoy! We did.

We left Tucson at around 10:00am. We ate a good breakfast at "Bread and Butter". We are on the road, and we are listening to a book on tape. Very relaxing.

We stopped in Lordsburg, New Mexico for a drink and a sundae. We arrived in "Truth or Consequences" at around 3:30pm.

We checked into our hotel the "Pink Pelican". We took a long walk around the area, and we went to eat at "Los Arcos Steakhouse" we have eaten here before. 

We shared a "New York Strip Steak", a salad, and a loaded Baked Potato. $53.60, for this very good meal.

Afterwards we returned to our room. We took a short break, then we headed for the "Pink Pelican Spa and Hot Spring". The water was nice, hot and soothing.

Afterwards we returned to our room to call it a night. It was a nice cool evening in New Mexico.

I am still looking through the vacay pictures. Here is what it looked like when we celebrated our return home. We dined at "Oregano's". It was delicious.

The coffee is a good Colombian Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning.  Alexa is awake and she said that today is going to be very busy one for us. I asked her to play some "Smooth Jazz" for me today.

Our vacay was well planned and executed to a tee. We enjoyed every day that we were away. 

I will post about it with pictures as soon as I review them. I will post to the blog on a daily basis. 

It is always good to return home, don't you agree? We have a lot of catching up to do for sure.

My first task is to get an appointment for "Bellezza Nera".  We put over 4000 miles on her and the service reminder came up on the dashboard. I will call the Toyota dealer this morning.
