Good Morning (TGIF)

Mood: Bummed Out

Music listening to: Rock With You by Michael Jackson

How goes it this Friday morning? I started the day off at 5:35am caring for Chris. Elise is still counting Gila monsters this morning, but she will be on the move soon. We are still in need of some rain here in Tucson. I am still keeping an eye on our Hummingbird and it's nest with two eggs in it.

Yesterday was a very good day until our new TV decided to go kaput. We were playing Wii on it and and (pop) it went off just like that and would not come back on. We are really bummed out about it because we have only had it for (4) days. We went back to the place were it was purchased and we explained the problem to them. They will be delivering another TV on Tuesday of next week. Elise decided to get a bigger screen this time a 58 inch screen it is huge let me tell you.

Do you have any plans for this Friday? We are going to go to Colors for a couple of Jack and Cokes, followed by Live Theater for a show. After that we are going to go to dinner at Jonathan's Cork, we haven't been there in along time. I have to run a few errands prior to our evening plans and Marv will be caring for Chris this evening. We hope that you have a good Friday and a better weekend. I am on my way to get a second cup of coffee. Today I may set a record for drinking coffee due to no TV in the main house but we will survive, smile.

Salude'............................

Good Morning Jeanne, will be looking for the note that you mentioned in your last email.

Ross, it is on the way as of yesterday so keep an eye out for the post.

Steph, how are you doing?

Tiger and Marcie, what is up for the weekend?

Rosie, how are you?

Sis, have a good safe weekend in Georgia.

Mood: Relaxed but HOT!!!

Music listening to: Turn Me On by Norah Jones

How are you this Thursday morning? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is up and out swimming this morning . Chris is doing just great, he is relaxing and listening to he radio. We still have not had any rain as of yet. Our monsoon season is null and void this year and that may mean that we will have a rough winter this year. I am on my second cup of coffee already and I think that a bit of breakfast is in order.

Any plans for today? I have to run an errand this morning but other than that it is going to be a slow day, and I am not complaining one bit. I am sure that we will play a few video games on our laptop this afternoon after Brent arrives to care for Chris. He is going to take Chris to Chucky Cheese for a bit to have fun looking and listening to the kids play, and some cotton candy that Chris loves. We are going to watch Gandhi on blue-ray this evening and it should be interesting to see what the difference is between a regular DVD and the blue-ray.

We had a great evening out last night with Janice and Frank. The food was excellent and the margaritas were, well what can I say we had two apiece. We listened to live a Mariachi band play and we listened to 5 contestants being judged for their singing ability. I was a very entertaining night. It was good to hear about what Janice and Frank have been up to since the last time we saw them. They have been doing pretty good at the casino's and that is always a plus, let me tell you from experience.

We returned home and I relieved Marv from caring for Chris. After Chris fell asleep I called it a night. A very good day! Well, I had better get this day rolling. Have a great Thursday and stay safe.

Prost..............................

Good Morning Jeanne

Janice and Frank, thank you so much for a wonderful evening with you guys. We wish you continued luck at the casino's, so win BIG!

Ross, the speech and the poetry book are in the post as of today so look for it. Give a shout out to Denise.

Tiger, and Marcie, what is up for today?

Rosie, how are you?

Sis, how are you and Shaina doing?

The photos above are of Janice and Frank at La Fuentes last night, they are looking good and fit.

Hump Day

Good Morning

Mood: Thankful

Music listening to: I Miss You Much by Janet Jackson

How are you doing this Hump Day? I started the day off a 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is still counting Owls this morning but it won't be long now and she will be up and on the go. The coffee is good this morning and I think a slice or two of toast is in order. It is supposed to be 108 degrees today and no rain in sight.

I checked on our visitor the Hummingbird and it's nest and she or he is still on the job. I have to run to my office today turn is some paperwork as usual. This evening we are going to go out to dinner with Frank and Janice. We meet with them at a place called La Fuentas a Mexican restaurant. We have eaten there before and they have live Mariachi music strolling throughout the restaurant and the food is good. Of course we will have a Margarita or two, Ole!

Well, I had better go busy and grab another cup of coffee and pop some bread into the toaster. Have a good Hump Day and stay safe.

Buon Giorno...................................

Good Morning Jeanne

Carol, thank you for the Hummingbird info it is great.

Tiger and Marcie, what is up for today?

Ross can you send me your address again to make sure that I have it right?

Flo, you guys have a great day and stay cool.

We took the above photo of the St. Louis Archway a couple of years ago when we visited my brother Herman and his family for a few days.

Good Evening

Good Evening,

How has your day been? It is burning up here in the desert of Tucson. It is 6:30pm and it is 105 degrees. It has been a scorcher today and it is going to continue until next week. We took Chris to his chiro appointment and afterward we wen t bowling. Elise bowled a couple of great games and I did OK. Playing the Wii at home has improved our game a lot.

We returned home and Brent to Chris on a short but hot walk. After Brent left I began to care for Chris for the evening. Elise just left for her book club meeting and I am waiting on a Gyro that she is going to bring me for dinner. Before she left we had a shot of Gentleman Jack and let me tell you it smooth as silk.

We got a very nice surprise today out on our front porch. We have a visitor who has made a home on one of the chimes that we have hanging there. It is a Hummingbird and it's nest with two little eggs in it. It is a marvel to look at and the bird will let you get up really close to it. She or he is very protective of it's nest and will fly right in front of your face and stay there if you stay too long. I have attached some photos that I took of it this afternoon. It is a miracle!!

Well I had better get back to work with Chris. Have a good evening and a good day tomorrow and yes it's Hump Day again.

Hey how is your day going? I started the day of at 5:20am caring for Chris. Elise is counting Grouper this morning but she will be up and about soon. Wait a minute she is up and headed out to swim. You cannot slow her down, never, smile.

It is supposed to be 110 degrees today and no rain in sight for at least a week. Any plans for today? We are going to take Chris to his chiro appointment when Brent arrives this afternoon and then we are going to take Chris bowling. He is going to enjoy that a lot. Elise will attending her book club meeting this evening and I cannot wait to see what she will bring me back for dinner. They are meeting a Greek restaurant and I am thinking Gyros, yes!

Well, I had better get some more coffee because my morning buzz is dwindling already. Have a good one and stay safe.

Good Night

Good Night,

Well it has been another very hot day and now they are saying that we will not see any rain at all this week. We are turning into crispy critters here in the desert. It has been an uneventful day, Chris and I relaxed most of the day. We did venture outside for a while to pick up seed pods in the front yard. Yes, we paid for that notion but good, smile.

Elise fixed a nice dinner of bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches that were very good. We also had a few carrots, yellow sweet peppers, and we washed it all down with iced tea, refreshing. We watched old cowboy movie made in 1970 on VHS and it was very good, Chris enjoyed it a lot. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at her Mom's playing bridge.

We hope that your day went well? Have a good evening and stay safe.

It is Monday again so how was the weekend? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is counting scorpions this morning but she will be up and at it soon. Elise was not feeling well at all last night and she had a very hard time getting to sleep, so I will be going over to check on her shortly.

The new TV arrived yesterday and we love it. We played a few games of Wii Tennis on it just to try it out. We had a very nice breakfast with Elise's Mom yesterday. Went went to a place called Alice's and the food was great. Elise had ham, grits and toast. Her Mom had bacon crisp, eggs over medium and toast. I had eggs scrambled with cheese, pork chop and toast. We had several cups of coffee don't you know, smile.

After Rosemary arrived to care for Chris we went to the movies to see Night At The Museum and it was pretty good. After the movie we returned home and Elise called it a night because she was not feeling well. I checked on Chris and then I called it day as well. It is supposed to be 108 degrees today so I am waiting on the dogs to start knocking at the door. Well, I had better bounce and get this day moving along. Have a good Monday all.

The photo above is one I took at Alice's yesterday. It is Alice herself on the wall of the restaurant.

Later................... We are cooking in our own juices here in the desert.

Guten Morgen, how are you this Sunday morning? I started the day of at 5:45am looking in on Chris and getting him settled. Elise is caring for Chris this morning. I am on my first cup of coffee and it is not giving me that kick so I will have to have another one. Any plans for today?

We are going to go out for breakfast with Elise's Mom lie we do every Sunday. We are going to a place called Alice's, it has very good food and it has a theme of trains throughout. It even has a guy who comes in with his railroad cap on and gear. He is a regular and he blows his train whistle when he arrives and when he leaves. A very nice touch and he has a table that is always reserved for him.

Later in the day we may go to the movies to see A Night In The Museum the second one. Well I had better turn on the misters so the can get cooled off. Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good Night All

Good Night All,

Well the day has come to an end for us here in the desert. Yes, we got some rain today, yes we did. We got about 12 or 15 drops and that was about it. That is about 40% of what? Somebody tell me, please.

We had a very nice evening with Nanci and Jeff. Elise, Nanci and Jeff had T-bone steak, baked potatoes, salad. I had a rib eye and a baked potato and a salad. We shared two bottles of red that hit the spot, yes it did. After dinner we played Wii bowling and tennis. It was so much fun and Nanci bowled pretty good for her first time on Wii. We are talking about making plans to visit with them in New Mexico on their property later in the year.

After Rosemary left for the evening Elise and I played golf on the Wii for a short time. After that Elise hit the sheets and I checked on Chris. I will call it a night shortly very soon. Our new TV will be delivered and set up tomorrow afternoon. I bought a Blue Ray player today and I will have the installers hook it up as well. Well, I had better hit the sheets and rest up for tomorrow. We hope that your Saturday was a good one?

Good Night...............

Good Night Jeanne.

Steph, what was the outcome of the leg problem?

Hello

Howdy,

Well I just finished working in the backyard and cleaning the grill, refilling the fountain and I am beat and in need of some shade and a beer or two. My shirt is soaked with sweat and I was having visions of rain but no such luck. Too much work must be a sort of drug, huh?

Elise just finished caring for Chris and now she is off to the grocery store to shop. How has your day gone so far? Well, I had better let the dogs in before they knock the door off it's hinges. Where's that beer at?

How are you doing this morning? I started the day at 5:30am looking in on Chris and getting him settled. Elise will be caring for Chris this morning. It is a warm 82 degrees and it is supposed to be a scorcher today and we still have not has any rain. The forecasters are still predicting a 40% chance of rain for today.

Anything new going on around your way? We are going to have a Nanci and Jeff over this evening for dinner. We will have steaks on the grill, baked potatoes, salad and of course a red or two. Now I bet you that as soon as I get the grill all fired up and ready to go we will have a cloud burst with thunder boomers, don't you know?

Elise and I had a relaxing day yesterday we didn't go anywhere at all. We watched a DVD that was a chick flick that I endured that was not bad at all. So know Elise will have to watch a horror or a heavy action DVD with me. You have got to get a little pay back for those chick flicks, smile. We played Tennis and bowling on Wii and now we are in the professional range and it is getting harder to play the games. We love it.

I am still thinking about our evening at Jeanne the other night, it was a wonderful evening and she and Angelica are great hostesses. I think that I still have a baby back rib bone in my mouth, hmmmm that was good. Well, I had better sweep up the backyard and get the grill all cleaned and ready to go. Have a great day everyone and stay safe.

Prost....................

Good Morning Jeanne, sorry that the bridge game got cancelled yesterday. Get a glass of Wild Turkey and relax, smile.

Ross, I am so bummed out that the speech did not open. We will print it out and send it to you via the post.

How are you this Friday morning? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is counting hummingbirds this morning but she will take flight soon and start her day. It was sprinkling for a few seconds but now it has stopped. We really need some rain our monsoon season has not been up to par this year at all.

I am on my second cup of coffee and I am starting to get motivated.

We had a very nice evening last night with Jeanne and Angelica. We celebrated her birthday and I believe that she enjoyed it very much. We picked up a nice floral arrangement for her and we stopped of at Cody's Beef and Bean to pick you some dinner. We got two racks of baby-back ribs, baked potatoes, soup, bread and Elise and I shared a half carafe of Burgundy while we waited for our food order. Elise also prepared some country style ribs and baked beans that were fantastic. We pigged out let me tell you.

We threw down a few Jack and Cokes and Jeanne downed a few Wild Turkeys. Angelica made the salad and some very good appetizers. She also made some Flan that was the best that I have ever tasted and we all had birthday cake to top it off. It was a very nice evening and it is always a pleasure to spend time with Jeanne. We returned home and after Brent left we called it a night and rolled off to sleep.

Do you have any plans for today? How about the weekend? Well, I had better get busy and tend to Chris. I have a few errands to run this afternoon and we are staying in today with no plans, weird for us, huh? Have a great day and a better weekend.

Cheerio.....................

Good Morning Jeanne, thank you for a lovely evening. Happy Birthday!!!!

How are you doing on this Thursday morning? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is up and out swimming. We got some rain last night that fizzled out quickly. More thunder than rain, boom, boom. We have another forecast of a 40% chance of rain again today.

Chris and Elise will be receiving their massage this morning and I know Chris is looking forward to it. After Brent arrives to care for Chris, we will more than likely bowl on our Wii for a while. Later we are going to spend part of the evening with Jeanne of the Foothills. We will be going to celebrate her birthday with her and we will enjoy a good meal as well. We will have her favorite BBQ and the works, it will be good to see her.

The coffee is good this morning and I am going to procure a second cup post-haste. Have a good day all and stay safe, happy and for us desert dwellers COOL.

Elise fixed a nice dinner this evening. We had cheese crisps, refried beans, tamales, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and of course a couple of beers to wash it down. I am caring Chris this evening and Elise is in the main house chilling. The dogs are knocking on the door because they cannot stand thunder, wimps!

No plans here except to pick up meds from Walgreen's some time today. The coffee is good this morning and I think that some toast is in order to go along with it. Well, I had better hop to it before it gets to hot. Have a good day and enjoy!

Ciao..................

My better half ended up buying a 50 inch Plasma TV today, something that she has been wanting for some time now. After that we went to Starbucks to cool off with a Frappacino and I tried the new Strawberry/Banana Smoothie. It was very good. We returned home and Elise prepared breakfast for dinner. We had crisp bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns, toast and coffee. Excellent dinner.

Elise left to play bridge at her Mom's and I and caring for Chris this evening. The dogs are inside stretched out on the floor cooling it. I had better get back to work and set the coffee to brew for tomorrow morning. Have a good night and I hope that you are looking forward to Hump Day tomorrow? I know that I am.

Good Night all,

Well, it has been a different kind of day I must say and it is just too hot to do anything. I ran my errands early this morning and it has been Chris and I dealing with the day. Chris and I listened to a book on CD and we listened to some good jazz by Oscar Peterson. Chris really likes his piano stylings.

The dogs have been inside most of the day and they are back inside right now. I ventured out with Chris to do a little yard work in the front and let me tell you it is cooking outside. I will attempt to do more tomorrow. Elise returned and she fixed dinner and we watched the Golden Girls on DVD, they are still fun to watch. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise has left to play bridge at her Mom's.

Well, I had better get back to Chris. He is watching one of the Halloween movies on TV. We hope that his Monday has been a good one for you?

How are things going? I started the day off at 5:20am caring for Chris. Elise is counting Bobcats this morning, but she will be up and about soon. It is a nice 79 degrees right now but we are supposed to hit 108 today and we still need rain. The coffee is always extra good on Monday mornings, eh?

I have to run a few errands this morning but other than that nothing planned at all. We had a very peaceful Sunday here in the desert. We didn't go out to breakfast due to Elise gave a talk at a church about Chris and his life for the the during the past 15 years. We had a very nice dinner with Elise's Mom yesterday. Elise prepared baked beans, and we had grilled Knockwurst with all of the fixings. Elise's Mom had a ice cold beer and we had vodka tonics.

After Elise took her Mom home we played bowling on our Wii and that was a lot of fun. Rosemary arrive to care for Chris and we went to the movies to see Bruno. Now this is a movie not for kids at all and it was so very funny. It is totally out of the box and several people left the theater in disgust. Elise and I enjoyed it very much. We returned home and we continued to play Wii.

After Rosemary left I checked on Chris and we called it a night. We hope that your Monday will be a good one.

Music listening to: Tenderoni by Bobby Brown

How are you doing on this Sunday morning? I started the day off at 5:30am looking in on Chris. Elise is counting Javelina this morning but she will be up at at soon. Elise will be giving a talk this morning at a friend of hers church. The talk will be about her life since Chris was hurt 15 years ago,and the many sacrifices that she had to make over the years. Elise is a very good orator and a excellent poet as well. She has written a book of poems and it is a must read.

We are having Elise's Mom over for dinner and later we may go to the movies. I have my cup of coffee near by so now I can give you a little insight on our just completed stay-cation. Here goes!

Our stay-cation was at the Towne Place Suites Marriott here in Tucson near the airport. We started the day off at Gus Balones first to have breakfast. Elise has the ham steak, eggs over easy, hash browns, toast and coffee. I had the pork chops, scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns, toast and coffee. After breakfast we ran a few errands before we arrived at Towne Place. We got checked in and we ran into a snag due to the did not have the paperwork on file that my brother Herman sent for special family member rate. We paid the full rate until we contacted Herman and he contacted them to clear up the problem. The paperwork was there all of the time but in the wrong location in there files.

Our room is very nice and it has everything from a stove to a microwave and all of the utensils of home. We got settled into the room and we had a couple of Jack and Cokes. We went to the casino that is near by and we played slots for a while. We were there for about 4 hours and we spent $160.00 and we won $161.00 so we came out even and it was fun. We left the casino and we went to the JW Marriott Resort for dinner at the Steakhouse. We shared a Lodi wine called Klinkerbrick and it was excellent. We shared a spinach salad with feta cheese and sliced pears. Elise got the filet with a baked potato and I got the the rib eye with shrimp, mashed potatoes, snow peas and carrots. We were stuffed. We left to return to the hotel and we stopped at a AM PM store for some lottery tickets and some Payday candy bars. We gave a homeless Vietnam Vet a few dollars on our way out of the store. We scratched our tickets and we won $12.00 dollars out of the $20.00 that we spent,not bad.

It is now about 10:00pm and we are playing video games on the laptop and we are having a nightcap of Jack and Coke. As a matter of fact we could hardly play the games after the second Jack and Coke but it was lot of fun. So we quit and hit the sheets for the night.

We got up the next morning a around 9:35am (Wow). We slept way too long and that is not like us at all. Elise got up to make coffee while I was taking a shower, that did the trick alright. We left for breakfast at a place called Jerry Bob's. Elise had oatmeal with raisins and I had pigs in a blanket. We returned to the room to rest up before we got into the pool. We were in the pool for about an hour or so. Elise swam laps and I tried out my snorkeling set, and let me tell you it takes some getting used to but I enjoyed it and hope to use it again next stay-cation. We returned to the room and we played more video games on the laptop and of course we had a few more Jack and Cokes.

Later we returned to the JW Marriott Resort for dinner at the Signature Grill. We shared a salad and Elise got the salmon and risotto. I got the scallops wrapped in bacon, sweet potatoes mashed and I got the Albondiga soup. We shared a bottle of a Clos du Bois Merlot that was great. A very good meal. We left the resort and we returned to the casino to play slots again. This time we did not do so well and we lost $40.00 and we left. I enjoy going to the casino to watch the people, listen to the sounds and to feel like part of the action. I always set a limit of how much I will spend not matter if I win or loss, it is fun. We returned to our room and called it a night.

I got up at 8:00am and Elise was still covered up. I made a pot of coffee and Elise got up at 8:45am. She headed for the exercise room and she worked out for about 40 minutes. She got showered up and we watched Harry Potter on TV. We checked out of the hotel and we left for home. We got home and unpacked and then we went to the movies to see the latest Harry Potter movie that was good but all of the previous ones were much better. After the movie we went to Oregano's for pizza and a bottle of red. We love the pizza there and the people watching is great. We topped off our dinner with a couple of Bellini's and they were great. We returned home and I checked on Chris and that was all that she wrote. I was a very relaxing stay-cation.

Here a few photos that I took while we were at the Towne Place Suites. Have a good Sunday and enjoy the day all.

How are you doing this fine Saturday morning? Well we are back from our stay-cation and we had a very nice time. I started the day off at 5:15am looking in in Chris and getting him settled. Elise will be caring for him when she returns from swimming. It is a nice 78 degrees right now and we still need more rain here in the desert.

We stayed at Towne Place Suites a Marriott property and we enjoy it there. I will go more into detail about our stay-cation as soon as I get it all together and check our trip log book. So you have any plans for today? I am not sure about what we are going to do today if anything. I do know that he coffee is good and the pot is just about empty.

Have a good day all and stay safe.

Happy Hump Day! I started the day of at 5:20am caring for Chris. Elise is still counting Gila monsters this morning but she will be up and at it soon. It is a warn 76 degrees right now and cloudy. We have a 30% chance of rain today. I thought that we were going to get a good soaking last night. We had lightening and not a drop of rain in sight. Do you have any plans for today?

After Brent arrives to care for Chris we are going to run some errands and have breakfast at Gus Balones before we head out to the airport area to check in at Towne Place Suites. We will have our laptop with us to check email and to play games as well. We wish everyone a good Hump Day and be careful out there.

Later..................

Good Morning Jeanne.

Well, it is still hot outside and the dogs are inside with Chris and I. It is 8:00pm and it is 104 degrees but the wind is blowing and we may get some rain to cool us down.

Elise fixed a nice breakfast for dinner and now I am caring for Chris. Elise is heading for her Mom's to play bridge. I am just about finished with my packing for our stay-cation that starts tomorrow morning. Brent will be here to care for Chris while we are away.

Well, I had better get back to work and get Chris settled so I can finish packing my suitcase. Have a wonderful evening all.

Nite.............

Good Night Jeanne.

Thank you all for the very nice one word descriptions of me.

How are you? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is up and about swimming this morning. The coffee is good this morning and the pot is just about empty already, hmmmmm? It is going to be around 108 degrees today so I had better get prepared for it. One of the dogs is knocking at the door already wanting to come inside.

Any plans for today? I have to run an errand but other than that no plans. One of Chris's case manager's will be here for a visit later in the evening. Well, we are going on another stay-cation tomorrow. We will be at a Marriott property called Towne Place Suites that is near the airport and the casino. We will be there until Friday morning to get a break and some rest. I will be doing some snorkeling in there pool. So wish us some luck in the casino, OK?

After we return home on Friday we are going to Oregano's for pizza, vino and a Bellini. Well, I had better get busy and maybe brew another pot of coffee. Have a good day and stay safe and well.

Later....................

Good Morning Jeanne.
