Good Night!

Good Night!
Well another day has come to a close and it has been a good one. I got my errands taken care of today, and I even got to read some of of the autobiography of Ben Franklin. He was a very interesting guy to say the least.
Rosie was sick today so I called John to work in her place. We had a wonderful evening with Shoo and Stu this evening at the Bamboo Club. We shared two bottles of red that was pretty good. We also shared a bowl of Hot and Sour soup that was fantastic. We shared Spicy Sesame Honey Wings, BC Loaded Chips,Grilled Swordfish Skewers, Korean Style Ribs, Kobe Beef Sliders and Chicken lettuce wraps. It was fantastic!
Shoo and Stu we would like to thank you for a great evening of fun, food and friends. You two looked good out there on the dance floor. We returned home and Elise hit the sheets to read. I checked on Chris after John left for the night and he is good to good. I hear Lampchop barking that may not be a good sign.
I will hit the sheets myself very soon. Have a good night!
Later..........Jessie & Elise
Stay safe Tiger!

Good Night!





































































































































Good Night














































Well, the day is just about over, and I did not get much sleep liked I had planned. Angelica cared for Chris this morning and I was sure that I could get a few hours of zzzz's, but not the case.














































The gas company was out marking the yard and the street and driving stakes in the yard where they are going to put a new meter. So I got up and I went to the post office to send out some mail. I returned and I thought OK now I can sleep for a bit, but no that did not happen either. The phone started to ring and ring and ring.














































So I got up and I worked on my in-service-exam for a while. I should have downed a Jack or two, eh? No I could not do that because I had to care for Chris. Elise returned and I left for the Credit Union before it closed. I returned and we had breakfast for dinner and we watched Mad Men with Chris.














































I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is catching up on her email. Elise suggested that I get ear plugs and so did Elaine. If Lampchop starts up again tonight she will be locked up in the storage shed.














































Well, I have a pounding headache and I can hardly keep my eyes focused. Have a good night and a better tomorrow. It's a Hump Day. Here are a few more pics of our visit with Elaine.























Later...........Jessie & Elise














































Tiger, Marcie, Jet sleep well.














































Jane and John, what is new?














































Nancy and Ron, good to hear from you.














































Erika, always good to hear from you guys.














































Sara, make a full recovery soon, OK?

Good Morning


















































Mood: Tired


















































Music listening to: America by Ray Charles


















































How are you? I started the day off several times today. Once at 12:30am due to the wind blew open the door to the heater room. Again at 1:00am and 2:30am Lampchop barking at air. I am drowning myself in coffee this morning. Elise is deep into her cave but she will be up soon heading for the gym. Any plans for today?


















































Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris. I have a errand to run this morning and after that I will try to get some sleep. Chris will be receiving a Reiki treatment this morning at 11:00am for Karen. Chris likes Reiki.


















































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

Good Night!



Good Night,






The day has come to an end and being that it is a Monday it was not to shabby, smile. We now have gas flowing again in Chris's house and hopefully we will have it flowing again to the main house on Thursday. Boy do we take things for granted but when they are gone Wow!






I pick up my in-service-material and I will study it and I will take the exam in a couple of days. I have no idea how I am making it through the day because I am dragging big time.






Elise, Chris and I watched a couple of episodes of Mad Men while we eat our dinner. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at the Tucson Women's Chorus practicing for the next show.

Yes, it's a Monday! How are you? I started the day off at 2:50am seeing what Lampchop was barking at and I have been awake ever since. Elise is in her cave this morning and she will start her day very soon. Any plans for today?






The coffee is good and I need a lot of it. I will have a bowl of oats a little later. I am supposed to attend a in-service-class today but I don't think I will make it today. I am just dragging and I am in need of some sleep. Besides I have to stick around for someone from the gas company to come out to due to we had a gas leak over the weekend and the gas was turned off until whomever comes out today to see what should be done. What a way to start the week off, eh?






I have finished going through the pics of our stay in Gold Canyon, AZ and I will post a few on our blog today if all goes well. I had better get busy and grab another cup of coffee. Have a good day.
