Saturday Still Wet!! Yes!!


Good Morning






Mood: Floating down Justin Ln






Music listening to: Living In America by James Brown






Wild and Wild here in Tucson. How are you this morning? I started the day off at 5:20am looking in on Chris. Elise is in a canoe next to mine and we are floating down Justin Lane headed for Pima street. We will park our canoes at the McDonalds for a cup of coffee, smile.






Yes, we got rained on again last night with wind, thunder boomers and lightening, it was great. This time I got out in it and took a late night shower, it felt great. The dogs were looking at me like I was some kind of a nut. Any plans for today? Elise will be caring for Chris as soon as she returns from the gym. Elise prepared a very nice dinner last night. We had cheese crisps, salsa, jalapenos, tamales and of course a couple of beers to get it all down. It was great. We watched a Tyler Perry DVD that was really good and funny. After that Elise worked on a crossword puzzle until she got stuck, and I watched a little TV.






After Rosemary left for the night I checked on Chris and I joined Elise in calling it a night. It was nice listening to the rain and wind, a good way to fall asleep. We are going to go out to dinner with Loraine and Jim this evening and after dinner we will go over to their home and play a rousing game of Wizard and have a special dessert made by Loraine. We are going to take along a bottle of Gruet champagne with us. It should be a very nice evening.






Well, I had better check on Chris and grab a second cup of coffee. Have a wonderful day.






See Ya..............






Good Morning Jeanne.






Tiger, Marcie, Jet, let's get this day started. Hey, sisters I am going to send you some questions to answer for me to help me with my Psychology class, OK? I am a student online at Yale University Online and my mid-term is coming up so look for it.






Monna, Congrats!






Rosie, how are you doing?






Loraine and Jim, see you this evening.

TGIF It's Wet!!


Good Morning


Mood: Soaked


Music listening to: We Will Be Together by the Supremes (Classic)


TGIF!! How are you this Friday Morning? I started the day off at 5:20am caring for Chris. Elise is floating down Justin Lane this morning but she will up and in dry dock shortly. We finally got the type of rain that we usually get during our monsoon season last night at around 11:00pm. We got buckets of rain, fantastic lightening displays and bone shaking thunder boomers. It was great and I hope that we get more of it today.


Our two rain barrels collectors are full to the brim, the backyard area between the main house and Chris's house was flooded, it really rained. Any plans for today? We have none as of yet but it is a Friday so we will see what develops for us. We went to the movies yesterday afternoon to see " A Letter To Julia" and it is was pretty good for a (chick flick). I was looking around the theater and I was the only male there so I had to lay low in my seat, smile. By me going to see this movie Elise must go with me to see a blood and guts or a horror movie with me to make up for me being to only male watching the (chick flick), YES!!


After the movie we went to have dinner at Picasso's Gourmet Pizza. We shared a bottle of a good Cab, and we shared some appetizers of chipotle wings, and meatballs in sauce and cheese. They were great with some gluten-free bread that looked like pita. We each had a personal pizza. Elise got the Margarita and I got a pepperoni. They have very good pizza there. Elise's pizza was gluten free and mine had a wheat crust. BRAVA!!


We returned home and Elise worked on a crossword puzzle and I watched a little bit of TV until Kecia left for the night. I checked on Chris and we called it a night. A pretty good day. Well, I had better get busy and get this Friday moving along. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.


Salude"


Good Morning Jeanne.

Thirsty Thursday











Good Morning








Mood: Happy








Music listening to: Feels Like by Sade'








How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:20am caring for Chris. Elise is up and heading for the gym this morning. Any plans for today? Chris and Elise will be getting their massages this morning as usual. The coffee is nice and hot this morning and I am thinking about a slice of toast or two.








We had a wonderful evening last night with Jeanne and Angelica. We played a few hands of bridge and yes Jeanne and I lost but it was very neck and neck during the second game. We munched on snacks while we played. We had crackers, cheese, grapes, snow pea pods, celery and of course a few Jack and Cokes, smile.








Angelica prepared a dinner that was excellent. We had stuffed green peppers that were to die for, they were delicious. We also had steamed rice and a variety of sauces to go along with and yes a few more Jack and Cokes. It is always a pleasure to spent time with them up in the foothills of the Old Pueblo. We were so stuffed,we had to turn down the ice cream and cake for dessert. I must tell you for me to turn down some dessert I have to be really full, yes indeed. Thank you so very much Jeanne and Angelica for a great evening even though we lost at bridge.








Elise and I may go to the movies this afternoon when Rosemary arrives to care for Chris. Elise and I played a few games on the Wii yesterday prior to visiting Jeanne. Well, It is a bit cloudy out and I am hoping for the rain that we didn't get yesterday. Have a good day and stay safe. The photos above are of our cactus garden in bloom. Isn't great?








See Ya.....................








Good Morning Jeanne, thank you for a great evening.








Tiger,Marcie, Jet, let's shake it up sisters.








Ross, enjoy you days away.








Shoo Shoo, what is new?

Hump Day


Good Morning


Mood: Content


Music listening to: Straight Up by Paula Abdul


Hey another Hump Day! I started the day off at 5:20am caring for Chris. Elise is drifting down the Colorado river this morning on a raft but she will hit some rapids soon and that will get her day started soon. Any plans for today?


I have to run to my office this morning with the usual paperwork to turn in. I will do that as soon as Kecia arrives to care for Chris. I am hoping that we get a bit more rain today, it is cloudy right now and only 74 degrees. The coffee is good and I believe I will have some strawberry yogurt this morning.


We are going to visit Jeanne in the foothills this evening after Rosemary arrives to care for Chris. We will play a few hands of bridge if Jeanne feels up to it. So look out Angelica we are going to bet you and Elise again. Smile! Well, I had better get busy. Have a good Hump Day and stay safe.

Good Night


The day has just about closed and we got some rain today, yes we did. It rained for about 10 minutes and that was it, but some is better than none, eh? I got my errands taken care of this morning while Kecia was here caring for Chris. Chris and I took it slow and easy after Kecia left and we watched TV and we played on the Wii.


Elise prepared corn on the cob for dinner and it was great. We also had some of those little potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, and red peppers. We watched two episodes of Mash with Chris as well. Elise is not playing bridge this evening so she is catching up on her email right now. I am caring for Chris and he is watching TV and chatting up a storm. He is watching Sanford and Son.


I got an email from my brother Herman today and he and his wife and one of his daughters are in Hawaii and will be there until the 2nd of August. Lucky guy! Elise and I enjoyed our visit to Maui a few years back and maybe we will return soon, who knows? We are going to visit Jeanne of the foothills tomorrow and play some bridge if she is up to it.


Well, I had better check on Chris. Have a wonderful evening and a good Hump Day tomorrow.

Cheers...............


Good Night Jeanne, see you tomorrow evening.


Steph, all I can say is ouch,ouch you clobbered me good, smile.

Music listening to: She's A Bad Mama Jamma by Carl Carlson


It's a hot Tuesday morning here in the Old Pueblo. How are you? I started the day off at 5:15am caring for Chris. Elise is still picking up seed pods in her sleep but she will be up and bagging them up for the trash real soon. The coffee is good this morning and I am thinking biscuits this morning, yummy! Any plans for today?


No plans here as of yet, but it is early. A carpet cleaner is suppose to arrive this morning to clean one of the bedroom carpets and the living room as well. We were told by our weather gurus that we had a 50% chance of rain for yesterday and we did not get a drop at all. They are forecasting the same for today. So my guess is that we will receive 10 drops today, smile!


Well, I had better get busy and get this day peculating. Have a good Tuesday and stay safe and cool.


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


Good Morning Jeanne.


Tiger, Marcie, Jet, get up!

Good Night


Good Night


The day has come to an end and it has been a pretty good Monday. Chris and I rested most of the day and we played on the Wii for a while and we watched TV. Chris enjoyed his visit with his case manager and yes they wrestled as usual.


Elise prepared breakfast for dinner this evening. We had blueberry pancakes, sausages, and hot coffee. We watched a few episodes of Mash with Chris as well. Before Elise left to play bridge at her Mom's she she tried out a new game on the laptop. It is a combination of crosswords and Scrabble and she loved it.


I am caring for Chris this evening and he is getting very sleepy already, so I had better get him ready for lights out. Hope that your Monday was a good one?


Cheers...................


Good Night Jeanne, thank you for the wonderful email today. Hope to see you on Wednesday.


Tiger, Marcie, Jet, sleep well.


Rosie, have a great night.

Music listening to: I am Roadrunner by Junior Walker and the All-Stars (classic R&B)



Beware it is Monday again! How are you? I started the day off at 5:15am caring for Chris. Elise is well still in the land of the lost, but never fear she will use her GPS to start her day for sure. The coffee is good this morning and I am thinking about some eggs, hmmmm! Any plans for today?


We have a 50% chance of rain today,we we see how that develops. Chris's case manager will be visiting this morning at around 10:00am. Chris likes it when she visits because they joke around and they arm wrestle. Come on down rain, we need you badly.


We had a very nice breakfast at IHOP with Mum yesterday and the food was great. We even got some Ciniminon's for Mum she loves them. After Rosemary arrive to care for Chris at 5:00pm we met with Paula and Marty at Zemem's Ethiopian restaurant for dinner. Elise and I and Mum always enjoy the company of Paula and Marty. Our dinner was excellent and the Injera was very, very good and a bit different this time, more spongy. We shared a bottle of red and a bottle of Gruet champagne that was excellent, Mum really likes champagne. We returned home and Elise and I worked on a crossword puzzle for a bit and then she hit the sheets to read for a while. I continued to work on the crossword until Rosemary left for the evening. I checked on Chris and I joined Elise and I continued reading a book that I am just about finished with.


Well, I had better get to it and get Chris ready for his visitor. The photo above is of Elise putting Chris through his paces on the standing frame. Have a good day and beware it is still Monday!


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


Good Morning Jeanne.

Sunday


Good Morning


Mood: Chillin'


Music listening to: Do I Every Cross Your Mind by Brian McKnight


It's a Sunday! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am looking in on Chris. Elise is still counting Javelina's this morning but she will be up and taking charge shortly. Any plans for today? My first order of business is to refill my coffee cup, smile.


We didn't publish our blog yesterday due to I was doing a tee-shirt showing that started at about 7:00am that lasted to 11:30am. My other half was caring for Chris at the time of the showing. After the showing I took over for Elise and she departed for a baby shower. Chris and I relaxed and I cooled down from the heat. We watched TV for while until Elise returned. Rosemary cared for Chris last night. Elise and I also went to visit Jeanne of the foothills. The 22nd was her birthday and we talked with Angelica and we arrived with a b-day card and two floral arrangements for Jeanne. We surprised Jeanne when we went into her room to greet her. You could see the beaming in her face and that is always a pleasure to see.


Jeanne's children were there along with Angelica and her family. Of course we had a Jack and Coke and we were not planning on staying for too long. We were convinced to have a little dinner with them and we did and it was fantastic. We had Chimis, beans that were to die for. We said our good-byes and we left for home. We watched a DVD called the "Greatest" and it was very good and it home for me and it brought back a lot of memories. It stared P.Bronson and Susan Sarandon. After the movie Elise hit the sheets and I watched a little TV until Rosemary left for the night.


We are going out for breakfast this morning with Mum like we do every Sunday morning. We are going to go to IHOP. Later this evening Elise, Mum and I will be meeting Paula and Marty at Zemems for dinner a bottle or two. One of those bottle will be champagne left over from Mum's b-day celebration. Well, I had better get busy and get this day moving forward. Have a good day and enjoy.


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


Good Morning Jeanne, so good to see you and everyone yesterday.


Tiger, Marcie, Jet, have a good Sunday.

Good Morning


Mood: Rested


Music listening to: Let's Hear If For The Boy by Denise Williams


TGIF!! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:30am due to the alarm sensor going off indicating that someone or something was around the house, so I just stayed up. Elise is still counting those sheep but she will be up and at it soon. Any plans for today?


I have to run to my office this afternoon and that is about it for me for today so far. Well, we had a very relaxing stay at the Desert Diamond Hotel and Casino. We enjoyed our visit to the casino and we broke even. They have added many new slots since the last time we were there and our favorite slot Lady Bug was not good to us this time. Maybe next time. We played a dollar for our friend Jeanne and her dollar produced $7.80 for her a good win I must say.


We returned home and we unpacked and then we went to the movies to see " Cyrus" it was a different kind of movie but it was very good. After that we went to visit Dena and Bucky for dinner at there home. We took along a bottle of champagne to go along with the meal. What a meal it was let me tell you. We had salad. cold slaw, grilled lamb cubes with grilled orange wedges. It was great. For dessert we had cheesecake and the crust was made of gingersnaps, it was fantastic.


After dinner we played a few rousing hands of " Wizard" and it was a lot of fun and them we switched over to playing Hearts. A very nice evening! We returned home and I relieved Rosemary and after I checked on Chris we called it a night. I am already looking forward to our next adventure for the month of August. We are planning on going to the Phoenix area and while we are there we will visit with JT and Sara.


Well, I had better get back to work and refill my coffee cup. I think I will have a bit of yogurt for breakfast this morning as well. Have a great Friday and stay safe.


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

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise will be leaving shortly to play bridge at her Mum's house. I believe I will have some vanilla ice cream a little later with a little chocolate sauce on it. I got my errands ran today but I will have to go to a locksmith to have a key made for the pick up shell. It has been a restful day. I hope that yours has been a good one too?

After that we returned home and Elise prepared dinner a light dinner of BLT's and they were great. Kecia is caring for Chris this evening and her car was delivered today at our house. It is a red convertible Le Baron and she loves it and her daughter does too!


At about 7:00pm Elise and I left for the Loft to see a movie called " I am Love" and it was very good but a bit depressing at times. It was an Italian movie and I love to go to Italian movies so I can brush up on my Italian. We returned home and I relived Kecia and I checked on Chris and we called it a night. It has been a very quiet weekend.


Well, I had better get busy and get this day rolling along. I have to have my tires rotated this morning and I have to get a nail pulled out of one of the front tires as well. What a way to start a Monday, eh? Have a good one.

How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:20am looking in on Chris. Elise will be caring for Chris as soon as she returns from the gym. I went out this morning to get the newspaper and come to find out someone had stolen the RV wheel covers off of Chris's van during the night. We got in last night at around midnight and they were there. Also we received a new phone book that was left on the front porch that was not there when we got in last night. I believe that the phone book delivery person took the RV covers. Elise called this morning to file a police report.

Well, the day has come to an end and it has been a very hot one, let me tell you. Elise returned home from playing bridge this afternoon and she is sick. She has a sore throat and aches and pains, but no fever. She is taking it easy she feel asleep within minutes of her return home. Kecia has left for the day and I am caring for Chris and checking on Elise every now and then.


I believe that she wore herself down getting Mum's birthday events together. It took a lot out of both of us and it was a lot of work involved to make sure that things went well. After dinner she will be returning to bed to rest. At the Arizona Inn there were 10 people and at the gathering in our home there were well over 30 people, so we were very busy.


Elise is not going to play bridge at her Mom's tonight and that is a true sign that she is not feeling well. I called Mum to let her know that Elise would not be playing tonight. Well, I had better get busy with Chris. Have a good night.

Cheers....................
