Music listening to: Smooth Operator by Sade'

    It's a Hump Day! I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning and I am not sure if she will be hitting the floor anytime soon. Any plans for today?

   I am waiting on the coffee and my cup is ready to be filled. Chris is being a little grumpy this morning for some reason. Maybe he doesn't want to start his day. I will let him calm down for a bit.

  I have no plans for today at all. I want this the last day of 2014 to go by as a good one. No problems and no drama. One can only hope so, eh?

  We are gearing up to watch our "Wildcats" play in the "Fiesta Bowl" today. It should be a good one. Go Cats!

   Elise going to prepare our traditional dinner of black eyed peas, rice and cornbread. It is said to bring lucky for the upcoming year. Of course we have champagne chilling and ready to be poured into our flutes.

   Well, I had better get busy. Have a great Hump Day and a very nice New Years Eve.

Hey how was your day? It has been a good one today.

I took JT back to Chandler this morning. He was not that talkative because he was sleepy and nodding off at times during the drive. He said that he had a good time and that he may return next month for a visit.

On the way back I stopped at Popeye's to try the Ghost Pepper wings. They are delicious. I took care of a couple of errands while I was out. I had to be back by 1:00pm to relieve the caregiver and I was.

I got 33 miles to the gallon in the Fiat 500L Trekking. That is very good. I brought back a nice sized bag of lemons, oranges and eggs from Chandler. Elise is going to make a Lemon Pie with some of the lemons. Thank you George.

Elise, Chris and I watched Blue Bloods, Family Feud and Mike and Molly. We got some sad news about one of Elise's bridge buddies. Her husband collapsed today and passed away due to a heart attack. Our condolences go out to the family.

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise has hit the sheets to read. She is not feeling her best. We got a text from one of the caregivers stating that they may not be able to work tomorrow due to a busted water heater. Elise and I will have to care for Chris tomorrow.

Well, I had better get busy with Chris. He has a low grade fever and I will keep an eye on that. Also this evening I found is APP pump air line was crimped and the pump was not putting air into the pad. Not good at all. Good thing I noticed it.

Have a wonderful evening and sleep well.
Cheers.....Jessie and Elise

Bobby, how did your day end?

    I will be picking JT up from his mom's this morning. I am driving him back to Chandler. It has been good to see him while he was here. We didn't crowd him so he could make the most of his stay in Tucson.

   Well, I had better get to it. Have a good day.

Spent a little time with Susie as well today. Elise returned from bridge not feeling well. Elise and her partner did not play well today.

We watched Blue Blood and Family Feud with Chris. The roofer came by today to have a look at the roof area that may need some new shingles.

    Elise and I are going to hit up the "Egg Connection" for a hardy breakfast this morning. It is a cold one here in the Old Pueblo this morning.

    We had a fantastic visit with Penny, Elaine and Bobby. We started off here with a few cocktails and then we headed for "Feast" for dinner.

     The evening was magical and the food was outstanding. We ate very well, consumed a very nice red and we laughed, and laughed and laughed some more. A wonderful evening. We all were treated to dinner by Bobby. That was a very nice gesture and very expensive has well. Thank you so very much Bobby! Elise and I were stuffed to max!

     This evening we are meeting up with Paula, Marty, Shoo and Stu at "Zemams" for dinner. It has been awhile since we have been together so it should be a lot of fun.

I want to take this time to wish my family, friends, neighbors, a very Merry Christmas. Have a great holiday and sit back and think about what this day means to you. I will be thinking about the people that are not here to see this Christmas, but they will be in my thoughts as always. Be Blessed!

I just picked up a little something, something for Elise's birthday that is on Christmas Eve. We had a very nice breakfast this morning with JT. He is looking good and he has that signature smile that is a family trait. It is so good to see him smile.

Elise and I will see if he wants to go to a movie with us before he returns to Chandler. Well we are going to think about what we are going to pack for Bisbee. It is colder there for sure.

A change has been made, so I will not be driving JT to Chandler tomorrow. He decided to stay in Tucson a little longer. Elise and I will be having breakfast with him at "Gus Balones" in the morning.

Elise brought me some nice homemade cookies from one of her bridge buddies. They are delicious. I may have to add her to my girlfriend list, smile!

   We had a very nice time at Becky and Silvia's yesterday. It was good to see them as always. There was a good turnout for the gathering. Thank you Becky and Silvia.

    Elise and I went to see the movie "Wild" and let me tell you it is the best movie that Reese Witherspoon has done. It was very good and it should get her an "Oscar".

    I have no plans for today except the "Truly Nolen" guys will be out this morning to do a annual spraying. Still haven't had a chance to get the "Fiat L" washed yet.

   We are going to Bisbee on the 24th and return on the 25th like we do every year. Bobby will be here to care for Chris while we are away. We are going to have breakfast with JT Tuesday morning at "Gus Balones". After breakfast I will be driving him back up to Chandler.

Hello!

Hello,

How is it going so far? We just got back from having breakfast at the "Egg Connection". Elise is caring for Chris and I am doing some yard work behind Chris's house.

Here is a bit more about our cruise,enjoy!

4 Dec

We started our day at around 7:00am. We went to grab some breakfast before we met up with our tour group. We are taking the "Tour The City" of Puerto Vallarta".

We board a very tour bus with great views. Our tour guides name is Gina. We saw many sights of Puerto Vallarta. It is a very pretty place and many celebrities have homes here. So far this has been the best of all that we have done on the cruise. Wonderful place.

We stopped in a jewelry store in Puerto Vallarta and they were giving out free margaritas. Elise bought a very nice ring and so did Bobby. A good stop that I am sure was planned by the tour guide to aid the locals.

We stopped in a restaurant that was sort of hidden near the port. We had a very good lunch there. As we entered we received free margaritas. We got seated and we had quesadillas, guac, chips, fajitas , salsa and of course a few more margaritas. The food was delicious.

We returned to the Star and Elise took a short nap. I sat out on the balcony watched people return to the ship. All of a sudden music started blasting. I was coming from below where people were getting back on board.
Some of the crew was down there dancing and having a good time greeting everyone back on board. It was great people were dancing all over the place. It had turned into a docked party. Of course the music woke Elise up and she came out on the balcony to investigate. Bobby joined us on the balcony as well.

After that we went to a "Martini Tasting" . It was fantastic! Bobby was with us for this one. We each got six martini's at 3 ounce apiece for a total of 18 ounces. Wow! We were blitzed! We were not the only one's let me tell you. Nobody was getting up from there seats at all, because we couldn't. Man, that was fun. Here are the martini's that we had to taste. Actually this tasting took place on 2 Dec.

Le Fizz- Grey Goose Vodka/St. Germain/Lime Juice/Soda

Aviation- Bombay Sapphire Gin/Maraschino/Creme De Violette/Lemon Juice

Going Coco Nuts- Grey Goose Vodka/Barcadi Coconut Flavored Rum/Pama/Cranberry Juice.

Cosmo- Grey Goose Vodka/Cointreau/Cranberry Juice/Fresh Lime Juice

Apple- Grey Goose Vodka/Apple Liqueur/Cointreau/Green Apple Slice

Iceberg- Bombay Sapphire Gin/Blue Curacao/Fresh Lime Juice.

I must still be feeling the affects of those martini's, eh?
We Meet back up with Bobby at the Red Lion Pub for drinks that he treated us to. Elise  and Bobby had a martini, a mojito for me.

After drinks we went to the "Grill" to have hamburgers, fries, and ice cream for dessert. We have eaten way too much and I bet we have gained at least 10 pounds so far.

Later Elise and I sat on the balcony to watch the sunset it was great. Later in the evening Elise and I are going to see a show in the "Stardust" lounge. Bobby will be having dinner with Gunther.

Elise and I enjoyed the show in the "Stardust". It was an acrobatic show much like Cirque in Las Vegas. It was excellent and the "Stardust" was packed for this one.

After the show Elise and I hit the casino. We beet $100.00 and we won $241.92. Cha Ching! Yeah! After that we called it a day. It has been a long day due to having to get up so early this morning. Another good day at sea on the "Star".
