   It's the Weekend! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning so she will be up and on her way to the gym very soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and a chocolate,banana smoothie is the ticket for today. Bobby will be here his morning to care for Chris and Rosemary will be here this evening.

    Do you have any leftovers? If you do aren't they just too good?

    Our Turkey Day dinner was very good. We were joined by my girlfriend Lila of course, smile! Elise's sister Ann and family. It was good to see Eddie,Erik,Sara and Jonny. 

    We enjoyed vino, (bianco and rosso), various snacks, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, yeast rolls, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, a very good honey-baked ham and Sara's world famous fruit salad.

    After dinner the football games were on and Elise, Sara, Ann and Lila began to play Boggle. It was a wonderful evening. Wow, family and my girlfriend all here at the same time. I got it like that, smile! We hope that your feast was a good one?

    Last night we watched our Arizona Wildcats win the NIT. Go Cats. This evening we will watch our Wildcats play ASU in a rival football game. Go Cats! We will have plenty of snacks and maybe a few Jack and Cokes for this one. It is going to be a good one. Hopefully Bobby will join us for this one.

  Well, I had better check on Chris. Have a great day. Stay safe and stay healthy.
Later.....Jessie and Elise

    It's a TGIF! Burp! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning and she will not be hitting the floor anytime soon. Any plans for today?

    The coffee is very good this morning. No smoothie or salad today. How was your Thanksgiving? We are so stuffed I can hardly move and that is the reason Elise is still in between the sheets.

    Our dinner was so good. I will give more details with a few pictures as soon as I can see straight again. Smile!

     Have a great day and enjoy. Do you have any leftovers? Smile!

This says it all!

Mood: Hungry!

Music listening to: In My House by the Mary Jane Girls

    Happy Thanksgiving! I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up like a slice of toast this morning and she is on her way to the gym to swim a few laps. 

    We had a very nice time at the DDC yesterday, but no big winnings to speak of. We did learn how to play Keno on the slots thanks to Dottie. Elise won $99.00 dollars. We also enjoyed a great meal at the buffet. We will hit the Keno slots again very soon.

    I am going to keep this posting short because I am sure that you are all as hungry as I am without a doubt. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris and Rosemary will be here this afternoon.

    Give thanks today for our servicemen and women, police officers, and  firefighters. Reflect on your family and friends. Remember family members and friends who are not here to share this day, but have them in your thoughts and reflect on the memories of them.

    Have a blessed day!

Jessie and Elise 

Hump Day!

Good Morning!

Mood: Relaxed and feeling lucky!

Music listening to: Superstitious by Stevie Wonder (classic R&B)

    It's a Hump Day! What's up? I started the day off at 4:40am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning but she is purring away. She will be up soon or maybe not, smile! Any plans for today?

    The coffee is good and hot and I will be making a orange smoothie, extra thick. It is very windy this morning and the chimes are playing a tune. Bobby will be here this afternoon to care for Chris.

     Elise and I are going to hit the DDC this afternoon so wish us luck. Cha Ching! We are going to try our hand at Keno to see how that works for us. Thank you Loraine for the good luck wishes.

     Are you all set for Turkey Day? I believe we are ready. It should be a festive event here with the family. I am drooling already for it. Elise and I wish you and yours a very thankful and blessed day tomorrow.

     Well, I had better get to work with Chris. Have a good Hump Day and stay safe.

Later.......Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!

Let's hear about your day, eh? Things were very relaxed and peaceful here today.

I got a lot of work done on "365 Days With Elise" and it is looking good. Chris and I watched TV and we just chilled.

Elise incurred a mishap that is not like her at all. She lost the bridge scores fro today's bridge game while she was cleaning her car out before it was washed. I have to tell you she is bummed.

We watched a couple of episodes of "Dexter the Last Season" with Chris. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise just left for her book club meeting at "Jonathan's Cork". Elise going to bring me dinner from there. Can you say burger? Yes, yes I am, smile!

Tomorrow afternoon we are going to the "DDC" to collect our perks and to pull a few slots. Elise wants to try her hand at Keno to see how that works. I hope that it works in our favor. We are going to hit the buffet while we are there and we are going to attack the bars for a few Jack and Cokes. I hope that Rosemary decides to make an appearance while we are there.

Well, I had better get to work with Chris. Have a good evening.
Ciao.......Jessie and Elise.

Tiger, Marcie, Jet sleep well.

Loraine, I may need you in the wee hours of the morning, so be ready.

    The coffee is good to go and I will prepare a small salad shortly for later in the day. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris. I have a quick errand to run this morning that will not take long. Are you all set for Thanksgiving? We are working on it.

Good Night!

How was your day? It was a cold one here in the Old Pueblo. How was it in your area?

I got my early morning errands taken care of at the Honey Baked Ham Store. It was a expensive visit let me tell you, smile.

Chris and I rested for the most part of the day. We watched a little TV and I took him out to get a little fresh cold air. he loved it.

Elise didn't do that well at bridge today, but Elise and her partner came out in first place. So that changed her mood quite a bit.

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner. We had crisp bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. It was delicious! We also had some piping hot coffee as well. Ahhhh!

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is on her way to the "Tucson Women's Chorus " practice. They will be putting on a show at the "Botanical Gardens" on December 6th. It is well worth it to see and to hear the chorus sing. I will be there with my date "Lila". WooHoo!

Well, as promised earlier today I will reveal who the murderer was in our Murder Mystery Dinner. Are you ready? 

Well take a look at the picture below. It was not me Charles, not Serina, not Tommy, and not Magnus. Are you ready? It was Duncan Dockafeller. Yes, the world famous boxer. The media called him "Dunk-Them Dock-A-Fella.

Thank you for your wonderful guesses, but now you know. Just look at that picture does he look like a murderer to you? He had us all fooled. What a wonderful evening that was.

Well, I had better get busy with Chris. Have a great evening. Stay warm.
Later......Jessie and Elise

    It's a Monday! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:30am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning and she is purring away. Any plans for today?

    The coffee is brewing and a small salad will be had later in the day. Also a nice chocolate, banana and whey smoothie is in order as well.

     I have an errand to later this morning. I will be making a trip to the Honeybaked Ham store to pick up a couple of items to go along with the turkey day dinner and festivities that will be celebrated here.

    Elise and I had a wonderful breakfast yesterday at the (Proper)with Paula and Marty. It is always good to see them and the hear what is new with them. Thank you Paula and Marty.

    Elise and I had a very relaxing day yesterday a extension of our stay-cation at the Hilton, if you will? We played several games on the "Wii" with Chris watching and laughing at us.

   Elise prepared a superb dinner last night. We had meatloaf that was so good and let me tell you that no leftovers in sight. It was accompanied by salad, potatoes, and sweet peas. We also shared a very nice red from one of the vineyards here in Arizona that was very good. I am sure that Rosemary enjoyed the meal just as much as I did, without a doubt.

    Well, like I mentioned in my last posting that I would reveal the murderer in our Murder Mystery Dinner. I will do that as soon as I return from running my errand this morning.

     I want to also thank everyone who took the time to respond to the question about where you were and what you were doing on the day of President Kennedy's assassination. 

    Well, I had better get busy. Have a great Monday. Elise and I are thinking about hitting the DDC on Wednesday to pick up our perks.

      It is a brisk 46 degrees this morning with a trace of fog here in the valley. Elise is on the case and on point sounding the fog horn to alert people of the possible danger. Any plans for today?

       The coffee is very good this morning. We are going to met up with Paula and Marty this morning for breakfast in downtown Tucson.

       I am a bit behind on "365 Days With Elise" due to our short stay-cation, but I hope to be all caught up today.

       We had a great evening at the "Viscount Hotel" with Jane and Papa John. We met there for "Happy Hour". The food and drinks were very good. The evening was loaded with great conversation and plenty of laughs. Thank you Jane and Papa John. Elise and I are going to check and get info about staying there for one of our stay-cations.

      Well, here are a few more pics from the "Murder Mystery Dinner". Later this morning we will reveal who committed the murder, smile!

Good Morning,

Here are a few more pics.
Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!

Well this day is just about over. How was yours? Our day had a few problems today that has cut our stay-cation down by half a day.

This (Snafu) has caused me to think about hiring an additional caregiver. I will think on it and I will discuss it with Elise in 2014.

Elise prepared a very good dinner this evening. We watched a couple of episodes of "Dexter the Final Series" with Chris. We will pack for our stay-cation sometime tomorrow morning. 

The weather is starting to change already, so we will have to adjust our packing list.

Well, I had better check on Chris and get ready to call it day.
Cheers...Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie, Jet sleep well.

Loraine, thank you so much for the tux compliment. You rocked that belly dancer outfit. WooHoo!
