Mood: Blessed!

Music listening to: Le Freak by Chic

   It's the Weekend! Sup? I started the day off at 4:50am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave but she will be up soon making her way to the pool. Any plans for today?

    The coffee is is doing it's job this morning. Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris and Rosemary will be here this evening. 

     Well our "Wildcats" are the Territorial Champs in football. What a game this was, exciting, lots of mistakes made but we pulled it off. Go Cats!

      It is going to be a busy day for my playmate and I today. I have a few errands to run and I am going to visit with JT today before he has to head back to Chandler.

     I will be online printing up boarding passes for our flight to Lax shortly. We will be re-checking everything again to make sure that we are all set for our cruise to Mexico. So that means that Elise, Bobby and I will be hitting the pillow early tonight due to we have to get up so early.

    Are you still enjoying those leftovers? I am. They get better and better. Well, I had better get to it. Have a wonderful weekend. I may not be online much today due to I have a lot to do. Chat at you when we return. We will have our cell and tablet with us.

Bon Voyage!

Hello

Hello!

How are things going so far for you on this Black Friday?
I just finished chowing on a hot turkey sandwich that was so, so good.

Elise and I went to see the movie "Elsa and Fred" at the "Loft" and we loved it. Is about the hooking up of an elderly couple in New Orleans. It is a very good movie and we recommend it.

Chris and I are resting up for the "Wildcats" and "ASU" game that starts at 1:30pm today. I have to get my snacks together for this one and maybe a few beers to go along with, eh?

Hope all is going well so far?
Ciao....Jessie

TGIF!!

Good Morning!         

Mood: Burp! Belch! Pardon Me! Did I
Do That?

Music listening to: I'm Your Boggie Man by KC and the Sunshine Band

   It's a TGIF! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:50am caring for Chris. Elise is way deep in her cave this morning and I am not sure when she will be putting feet to the floor to start her day. Any plans for today?

   I am waiting on the coffee to finish brewing so I can fill my cup to the rim. Well, do you have leftovers? Of course you do! I love leftover open-faced turkey sandwiches in gravy. Man is that good, I may even have that for breakfast this morning. WooHoo!

   I have no plans for today except to watch our "Wildcats" play ASU this afternoon. It is a rivalry game and it is going to be a good football game. Of course the Cats are going to win. Go Cats!

   Marv will be here this evening to care for Chris. My playmate and I may go to "Cody's Beef and Bean" for dinner for the T-Bone special.

    Are you staying busy over this holiday weekend? Are you a Black Friday person? I am not, smile! Tomorrow I will be contacting the airlines so I can print out our boarding passes for our flight to LAX on Sunday morning. Elise and I will be doing a final check of our packing tomorrow to make sure that we are ready for Mexico. Ole'

    Well, I had better get busy with Chris. Have a great TGIF and stay safe.

   It's Thanksgiving Day! How are you doing? Are you ready to get your grub on? Smile! I started the day off at 4:50 am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning and I am sure that she will not be putting feet to the floor anytime soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good this morning and I and eyeing a nice looking apple pie to go along with it. Yes, I am. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris. Rosemary will be here this afternoon.

   We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday here with the family. It was a very nice gathering and the food was delicious and plentiful. We were joined by Rosemary this year and we missed Zack and "Lila" my girlfriend. "Lila" was under the weather yesterday. I went over to take her a flower and I checked on her last night and she is feeling better. I will check on her again today.

  JT got in from Chandler last night and I will go over to see him today and if the turkey is ready I may grab a slice.

  Well, our "Wildcats" are the Maui Invitational Champs. Woohoo, go Cats! Tomorrow we will be glued to the TV to watch our "Wildcats" play ASU (AS-Who?). It is going to be a great football game here in Tucson. Go Cats!

   Elise and I are going to go to the movies this afternoon. We will be making sure that we have all that we need for our cruise that begins on Sunday morning early.

   My playmate and I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Take the time to reflect on this day and be thankful for being blessed and all that you have no matter how small or abundant. Say a prayer for loved ones, friends, family and for those not here to share it with us. Keep the spirit alive!

   Have a blessed day!

   We will be celebrating Thanksgiving today instead of tomorrow due to family members have to work. I am looking forward to the smells in the kitchen that Thanksgiving brings. JT will be down visiting his mom and I will drop in on him.

   I will be cautious today and kick back to observe the drama if any surfaces. I hope that we have enough vino but if not I will hit the (Over-Proof) from Jamaica to mellow me out,smile!  Yeah Mon'. Bobby will be here this afternoon to care for Chris.

My playmate and I got the family room all set up for our Thanksgiving dinner that will take place tomorrow due to some of the family members have to work.

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner this evening. We watched Family Feud with Chris and we watched an episode of "Newsroom" on Netflix.

We enjoyed homemade pancakes, sausages, eggs, and coffee. Wunderbar! I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is in her office on her desktop. We both are listening and watching our "Wildcats" play in Maui.  Go Cats!

Have a great evening. Sleep well.
Later....Jessie and Elise

Tiger, that is great news about Ray. Yeah Mon'

Hey I just got back from running my errand to pick up some supplies that Chris needed. Of course when I returned the item that I picked up was delivered and sitting on the front porch. Yeah, and it is still a Monday here in the Old Pueblo, smile!

It is still a bit chilly here and with all of the work being done on several streets is not helping out any as well. Are you staying warm? Hope so. I am starving and I am thinking about a biscuit from Carl's Junior!

   It's a Tricky Tuesday! How goes it? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning. I checked on her and she is doing her before my feet hit the floor exercises. I asked he how she was feeling and she said "So, So" but she is sure that she will feel better after she goes swimming this morning. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is very good on this chilly morning here in the Old Pueblo. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris. I have to run an errand this morning to see if I can located a few medical items that Chris needs that he is just about out of.

   We will be setting things up for tomorrow's dinner. We will be having our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow due to family members work schedules. I have done my part and so has Elise.

Hey how was your day? it has been a quite one here in central Tucson. Is it going to warm up just a bit? Not!

My playmate prepared a very nice dinner this evening that hit the spot nicely. We both had soup, tomatoes, baby carrots and I had cheese toast. My playmate's soup was split pea, and mine was a delicious Italian Wedding Soup. Yummy!

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise has hit the sheets to read early. She is not feeling well and I will check on her every now and again.

Howdy!

Howdy!

Well, my lovely wife and I just got back from a very nice breakfast at the "Egg Connection". The food was as good as ever. 

We got to sign a farewell card for Debbie who is leaving to retire in a few days. We also got say Happy Birthday to Jeff and receive some of his birthday cake.

Elise is caring for Chris. I just finished up some yard work behind Chris's house and I plugged up the area that Houdini (Lambchop) used to escape out of the yard. She is way too smart for a fur-baby!

Well, I finally got to talk to the CEO of Casino Del Sol. I explained what happened at the casino and she apologized for it ever happening. She told me that they have been having in the High Limit Area were we were to other evening. They have had pan-handlers coming into that area and causing problems. I made it known that I am not a panhandler.

So here is the whole story:

We were in the High Limit Area and we started to play the slots in an area where there was nobody playing the slots. I pulled my chair out to sit down to play and I looked down and I saw a $100.00 bill on the floor. I picked it up and I handed it to Elise to hold on to. We stayed in the High Limit Area for about 45 minutes playing various slots and waiting for someone to claim the money. Nobody did.

Next thing I know I was approached buy two security guards asking me if I picked up a $100.00 bill off of the floor and I said yes without hesitation. I asked is there a problem? I was told that I was a thief to my face and I kept my cool but I was furious. They asked for the money and I gave it to them. They told me that I was banned from the casino for 30 days for theft. I was beside myself. I asked who is going to get the $100.00 bill they refused to answer the question. I also said that if your security was so grand, why didn't you see the money being dropped? I said that you should have been on it and gave the money back the whomever dropped it. Again no answer. I then told them that I was not leaving the casino because I have dinner reservations at PY Steakhouse. So Elise, Dottie and I left for the Steakhouse for dinner. I did not tell them that is was going to contact the CEO. For all I know the  security people kept the money for themselves.

I told this story to the CEO and she apologized and that she will have the ban lifted on Monday and I would be receiving a letter in the mail. She also offered stays and dinner tickets for all of the trouble. I declined the offer. I just wanted her to be aware of what has been going on, because she would have never known about this at all. To which she stated. I am pleased with the outcome because persistence always pays off in the long run. Lucky I didn't have my Drill Sgt's hat on because it would have been a whole different ball-game. OOHRAH! Maggots!

Nuff said, but Jim Crow is alive and well in Casino Del Sol for sure. I always observe everything.

Elise and I are going to the "Loft" this evening to see the movie "Dear White People". It got great reviews and the previews were hilarious. We are also starting to pack for our cruise to Mexico that begins on 30 Nov 14.

Sunday!

Good Morning!

Mood: Steaming! Rocked!

Music listening to: If I Were Your Woman by Gladys Knight and the Pips (classic R&B)

   It's a Sunday! How are you doing today? I started the day off at 5:00am getting Chris settled for Elise. Elise is at the entrance to her cave this morning but she will be up very soon.

   The coffee is very good on this cool Sunday morning. Elise and I are going to the "Egg Connection" for breakfast this morning as usual.

  Well, I know that I have not posted for a few days. It has been because of a situation that I am trying to get resolved with no luck as of yet.

  Allow me to pose a question to you. Let's say that you visit one of your local casinos. You make you way to a set of eight slots that are four on one side and another four on the other side. At this location there is nobody there at all, OK? So you decide to give one of them a go. You pull your chair out, you sit down and as you do you notice a $100.00 bill on the floor. What would you do?

   Well, I had better get ready for breakfast. I will be looking forward to what you would do in the above mentioned question.

Later....Jessie and Elise

Hello!

Hello!

How are you doing? We are back from our very short stay-cation at Casino Del Sol. We were involved in an incident at the casino that has led to me never going back to this casino again. I will  give more details when I post tomorrow.

My focus today is on me treating Elise to her dinner at "Sullivan's Steakhouse" this evening. I lost the bet on the "World Series". So if you don't hear from me for the rest of the weekend I will be at "Sullivan's" washing dishes and clearing tables.

I will also be cleaning car windshield's in the parking lot. So if you are feeling sorry for me please come on out and give me a hand so I can pay the bill.

Later, I hope.....Jessie

It is still chilly here in the valley of Tucson. It has finally made it to 47 degrees. The high is only going to be 60 degrees. We desert dwellers don't like the cold. I had to don sweat pants a sweat shirt and some thicker socks. Brrr!

Now I am hungry from running my errand, so I will have a cup of coffee and a peach yogurt. Yummy! Where's the Beef? Smile!

  Elise and I enjoyed playing "Wii" games yesterday after she gave Chris his "bio-feedback treatment". After Rosemary arrived to care for Chris we went to the "Tucson Women's Club" for Casino Night.

  It was a nice crowd in attendance. Elise and I made our selection for the Silent Auctions. I watched Elise play (craps) she was really getting into it. Maybe we can use those skills on next trip to Vegas, eh? You never know.

  We returned home and we watched our "Wildcats" win another basketball game. Go Cats! They are now 3 and 0. 

   Elise and I will be using our perks to stay at the "Casino del Sol" mid-week. We haven't been out there in awhile. We are going to meet "Dottie" the "Keno" expert there as well.

Hello,

Well we are back from enjoying a nice breakfast at the "Egg Connection". It was packed this morning and that is always good.

Elise is caring for Chris and I just finished cleaning up behind Chris's house. I am also trying how to find how are escape artist fur-baby (Lambchop) got out of the yard. Buttercup told on her escape. Lampchop is now locked up in her cage until I figure out the Houdini skills that she has.

Elise is going to give Chris a bio-feedback treatment this morning . Afterwards we are going to play games on the "Wii".

We hope that your day is going well so far? it is a bit chilly her in the Old Pueblo. Have a good one.
