Music listening to: Rub You The Right Way by Johnny Gill  (Yeah Mon')

    It's a Hump Day! Happy Birthday to me! I started my day off at 5:00am. I took a moment to before I put my feet to the floor to gaze at my Elise and I listened to her purring away. I give thanks to God for allowing me to see this day and for blessing me on a daily basis.

    I want to thank everyone for all of the birthday wishes. I am on a cloud already today and it is early. So let's get this party started! 

    Rosemary will be here this afternoon to care for Chris while I am out and about enjoying my day. I wish that you all could be here to share it with me.

    You have a great Humper and be careful today.

Hey the day is almost over. How was yours? It has been a quiet one here in central Tucson.

I spent a lot of time on my PC today and I got a lot of things done. I still have four classes to complete.

Elise and her partner came in next to last at bridge today, but she is in a good mood about it.

We watched Family Feud with Chris this evening. I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise just left for her book club meeting at "Jackson Tavern". She is going to bring me back some dinner when she returns.

We are all packed and ready to kick my birthday off tomorrow at "Casino Del Sol". I want to thank everyone for the many birthday wishes, cards, phone calls, texts, emails, and those nice hugs.

   The coffee just finished brewing and it is delicious. I will have some fruit to go along with this morning. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris.

    Elise and I will go to pick up the Tacoma when Angelica arrives to care for Chris. We will be packing up for our stays at the casinos. We are looking forward to the sound of the "Cha Ching".

What is up? How was your day? It has been a restful Monday for sure.

Chris and I watched a couple of movies and he really got into one. I bet that he would like to see that one again.

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner. We had homemade pancakes, eggs, and plenty of coffee. We watched two episodes of "The Follower" and we watched a couple of episodes of "The Fosters".

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at the "Tucson Women's Chorus" practice. Well, my birthday will be here in a couple of days and my playmate has already made plans for it.

We will be staying at "Casino Del Sol" on Wednesday and on Thursday we will be staying at the "DDC". We are using our perks. Love those perks. So wish me big time luck for my birthday. Cha Ching!

We will be joined by "Dottie" the defeated "Keno" Queen. It will be good to see her and to have her share my birthday dinner at the "PY Steakhouse".

Music listening to: Set On A Memory Bliss of you by P.M Dawn

   It's a Monday! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise checked me out as I was putting feet to the floor, but she returned to her cave quickly. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and freshly brewed this morning. It is a bit chilly here in Tucson but I am sure that it will warm up soon.

     I have no plans for today, but it is a Monday and that can change at anytime. I am thinking about having some fruit for breakfast this morning or a bowl of cereal with strawberries.

    Well,we had a wonderful time in Mesa, and Gilbert visiting with Shelia. Kerri is making a fine recovery from her stroke and with time she should be back to 100%. She is looking very good.

     We has so much fun with plenty of laughs, great food and plenty of drinks. Elise and I even hit up the  movies while we were there and we picked up a few things fro Buttercup. Thank you Shelia for a good time.

     Well, I had better get to work with Chris. I will give him the once-over the see how he is doing. Have a great day but remember it is a Monday.

   It's a TGIF! Sup? I started the day off several times due "Buttercup" was doing her job by barking at whatever was near the house. I got up to investigate and did not see a thing. Elise stirred when I got up this morning but she returned to the cloud that she was on quickly. Any plans for today?

   Angelica will be here this morning and Marv will be here this evening to care for Chris. Angelica will be here until Sunday to care for Chris also. 

   Elise and I are going to enjoy breakfast this morning at "Gus Balones" before we head out for Mesa. We got good news from Sheila that Kerri is out of the hospital and she is at home. We will be glad to see her later today. Thank you all for your prayers.

Good Morning!

Mood: Relaxed! Mellow!

Music listening to: Boggie Wonderland by Earth, Wind, and Fire

   It's a Thirsty Thursday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise looked at me as I was putting feet to the floor but she put her head back on the pillow to carry on where she left off, smile! Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and some fruit is the ticket for this morning. Angelica will be here this morning and Bobby will be here this afternoon to care for Chris.

    Elise and Chris will be receiving a massage this morning from Donna. Elise and I will be dropping off the Tacoma for routine services this morning.

    We will be repacking for Mesa, Arizona instead of camping in the mountains. We will be visiting Sheila and her daughter Kerri who is in hospital after a stroke. Will leave sometime tomorrow and return on Sunday. My brother Herman is getting us a special rate at a Marriott property in Mesa.

      We had a wonderful evening last night with Shoo and Stu. We enjoy it when we get together for a "Mahjong" fest. The snacks for dinner were delicious and the vino was flowing nicely.

    Hey, I won the very first game and I did it in good fashion with a difficult spread of tiles. Shoo won two rounds and Stu won one. My Elise did not win any this round and that is very rare. We topped the evening off with champagne and ginger snaps. Thank you Shoo and Stu for a great time as always.

    We may hit up a movie today if time permits. We are have lunch with Toni and Lois at "Leo" this afternoon. We love ""Leo's". You get great food there and really good margaritas. Ole'

    Well, I had better get busy with Chris. Have a great day.

Hello!

Hello!

How is it going? Chris and I are enjoying the day so far. We listened to music and got our groove on this morning. I had to slow my role so I won't be too exhausted for this evening's "Mahjong" beat-down.

Chris and I are soaking up some sun while were walking around in the hood. We are well hydrated for sure. Oops, it is time to hit the (Loo). Smile.

Rosemary will be here shortly to care for Chris and I will hop in the Fiat 500L and get my errand taken care of. Hope all is going well so far?
Cheers.....Jessie

Hump Day!

Good Morning!                       

Mood: Nervous!

Music listening to: 1, 2, 3 Remix by Gloria Estefan

   It's a Hump Day! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up with me this morning but she returned to cave to hibernate a bit more. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is freshly brewed and it is very good. A bowl of cereal with strawberries will be consumed shortly. Rosemary will be here this evening to care for Chris.

    I have a couple of errands to take care today. We are hosting a "Mahjong" event here this evening. We will be joined by Shoo and Stu. It is going to be a fun evening and a hilarious evening once we pop open a bottle of champagne. "Yeah Mon''. Shoo Shoo knows what I am talking about, right Shoo?

    Please continue your prayers Sheila's daughter Kerri. She will be having an MRI today to see what caused her stroke. Also pray for my sister's sister-in-law as well, she is in renal failure. Thank you.

     Have a good Humper and stay safe. Jane I am sure that you will, smile.
Later...Jessie and Elise

Dottie, how are you doing?

Good Night!

Good Night!

I do hope that your day was a damn sight better than mine?
I would like to welcome a repeat of today tomorrow, smile!

I am still on edge but I am better than I was. I didn't make that "Duck Fart" but I will prepare a little somethin' somethin' before I hit the sheets.

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner. We had homemade waffles, sausages, and coffee. It was all good.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her desktop.

When it rains it pours doesn't it? Received a call from Sheila to inform us that her daughter has been hospitalized  with a stroke. Also my sister Jet's sister-in has been hospitalized with renal problems. 

Please say a prayer for Sheila and Jet's family. Prayers do work wonders. Thanks.

Have a peaceful evening.
Ciao..Jessie and Elise

Shoo and Stu, see you tomorrow evening.

Maybe I will have two "Duck Farts".

Howdy!

Howdy!

How are you doing? I am doing OK. Is it warm or what here in Tucson?

Well, I had a confrontation this morning with a caregiver about some concerns that I had about Chris's care. The caregiver took it way to personal and for the most part means that you are  the guilty party.

The problem this morning is that this caregiver was so taken aback that the statement was made if you are trying to get rid of me just let me know. Big mistake, big mistake.

My (DI) hat appeared on it's own without me having to go get. When that happens I am going to lay into you big time and I did. I told this caregiver how it was going to be, no ifs ands or whatever. Elise was in her office when this took place, and she knew that I was in a zone and my (DI) hat was on.

I asked the caregiver to show me how the task was being done that I had a concern about and the caregiver was doing it wrong. The caregiver apologised for taking the defensive. I told the caregiver that I was going to approach all of the other caregivers as well to see if they have a problem with the written change or concern.

I am a very easy going guy but don't get on my other side because if you do you will be there for awhile and I will make sure that you know it.

I have calmed down just a bit. I will have a "Duck Fart" later this evening to calm me all the way down. Chris and I are watching TV and Elise is at her writing class.
Peace Out!
Jessie

   It's a Tricky Tuesday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up as well this morning to start her day. She is headed for the gym. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and I think I will have some fruit for breakfast this morning. Chris is quiet this morning but I am sure he will be in the swing of things this soon. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris.

   I have no errands to tackle this morning so I am going to chill and start to get things together for our short camping trip with Sheila over the weekend.

   Well, I had better get to it. Oops, Chris is talking up a storm now, smile! Have a good Tricky Tuesday!

Good Night!

Hey, how was your day? It has been restful one here in central Tucson. Also a bit of a warm day too!

I took it slow and easy today due to my left knee is acting up again. It is from an injury that I got in Germany. I was an accident on the Autobahn with a BMW and the 2 and a half ton truck that I was passenger in. Need I say that the BMW did not fair well at all. It is a Patella injury that rears it's head every now and again. The pain lasts for a few hours to a number of days.

Elise, Chris and I watched "The Fosters" on Netflix. It is the second season and a very good series. I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her desktop. She will be leaving soon to practice with the "Tucson Women's Chorus".

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

Tiger, Marcie, Jet stay well.

Loraine, stay safe.

Jane and John, get more rest.

Flo and John, be well.

Shoo and Stu, are you ready?

Sup?

Sup?

Well, I just finished taking care of that errand that needed tending to.

I am about to get Chris up and out in the sun for a bit. I am enjoying a cup of marshmallow soft serve yogurt that my playmate bought for me a few days ago. It is Wunderbar!

Hope things are going well for you so far?

Later...Jessie 

                                    

It's A Monday!

Good Morning!                         

Mood: Quiet! Cautious!

Music listening to: Escape by MJ

   It's a Monday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise stirred when I popped up but she turned and got back into her cave. I am sure that she will be hitting to floor soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and a bowl of cereal with strawberries sounds like a good idea. I have to run an errand this morning out on the airbase. Other than that I have no plans for today.

   We will be talking about what we are going to pack for our camping trip that begins on Friday for a couple of nights. We will be joined by my girlfriend (Sheila). Yes, my girlfriend even like to go out into the woods with me, smile!

   I am in a somber mood this morning. I am thinking about my parents and I am wondering if they are pleased with the way my life has turned out. I am sure that they are pleased and proud of me and my family. I am getting a little mushy I know but it is a good thing to reflect because so many do not and they should. I set aside what I call (me time) on a daily basis to give thanks for the many blessings that have been given to me. Try it, it works wonders.

   Well, I had better get to work with Chris. Have a great Monday!

Later...Jessie and Elise

Tiger,Marcie,Jet enjoy the day.

Good Night!

Good Night!

How are you? How was your day? It has been a good day and Chris is doing just fine.

We were on our way to pick up my girlfriend ("Lila") so she could attend a memorial concert for Dr. Jeffrey A. Jahn when we received a phone call from Bobby with some bad and shocking news.

Our friend Pat has been hospitalized with a heart attack this afternoon. He had surgery done and he had two block arteries that were blocked in the high 90%. He had two stints put in and he is in recovery. 

Please if you could send prayers out for Pat, his wife Kay and the family. Thank you so very much.

The memorial concert for Dr. Jeffery A. Jahn was beautiful. The church was packed. The music was wonderful and Elise and I really enjoyed the two (negro spirituals) that were song.

The support and tears were plentiful. Even Elise and I were letting them flow. This memorial was well organized and needed for the Tucson community. Thank you all who put this together.

After the memorial we stopped in the "Native
Grill" for dinner. The food was good and the portions were huge.  We took Lila home and we headed home ourselves.

Elise and I are watching TV, but we will be hitting the sheets very soon. Have a sleep filled night.
Ciao..Jessie and Elise

Afternoon!

Afternoon!

What is going on? Well, we had a very nice breakfast at the "Egg Connection". Elise is caring of Chris. He is getting his ears lowered. Smile!

I am restocking Chris's supplies. I also ran an errand to "Fry's" to pick up a pork tenderloin so I can hook up some "Jerk Pork" in a few days. Yeah Mon'.

Elise is giving  Chris a "bio-feedback" treatment. I have my clothes set out for the memorial concert slated for this afternoon.

I just fired up the Espresso pot and we are enjoying a nice strong pick me up. Man it is good. We hope that all is going well for you so far today.

Later..Jessie and Elise

Loraine, glad that you are up and raring to go. Enjoy the day.

   It's a Sunday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am looking in on Chris and getting him settled for Elise. Elise will be over as soon as she pops up to start her day. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is delicious this morning. We are going out for breakfast at the "Egg Connection" as usual. Rosemary will be here this afternoon to care for Chris.

    We had a very nice dinner at "The Cup" downtown at "Hotel Congress". It was packed and the downtown area is popping with things going on. Elise and I have not been downtown in quite some time and it is good to see that the area is doing well.

    During our dinner "Carlos" the chef came out to see us at our table. "Carlos" is the husband to be of our daughter Kim. Yes, they are going to be married in the near future. "Carlos" treated us to a bottle of Zinfandel that was made here in Arizona. What a nice gesture. We took the bottle home and we will give it go very soon.

   After dinner we walked over to the "Arizona Theater Company" to see the play "A Weekend With Pablo Picasso". The theater was packed and the play was a one man show that was excellent. He deserved the standing ovation that he received.

   This afternoon we are going to a memorial concert in honor of the director of Arizona Repertory Singers who passed away suddenly a few weeks back. We will be taking my girlfriend (Lila) along for this one. Afterwards we are going out for a nice dinner.

   Hey, I made use of my most wonderful birthday gift from my playmate yesterday. I got a Platinum car wash with the works. What a great gift. 

   Well, I had better get myself ready for breakfast. Have a wonderful Sunday.

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

    The coffee just finished brewing and it is delicious. A very nice (Kona) coffee. Makes me want to return to Hawaii. Smile! Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris and Rosemary will be here this evening.

    Hey, I got a wonderful surprise from Elise yesterday. It is an early birthday gift that is just fantastic. She purchased me a 6 month Platinum  Series top of the line car wash certificate.Yes! I can get the Fiat 500L washed, waxed and the works everyday if I feel the need. Isn't that a great gift? What a surprise from my playmate. Thank you Mi Amore!

    We enjoyed the Happy Hour last night at "La Parrilla Suiza". We had a couple of margaritas, and we shared a cup of Consome De Pollo, and Queso Especial. We also had plenty of salsa and chips.

    After Happy Hour we went to the "Live Theater Workshop" to see the play "Enchanted April". It was very good and the theater was packed. The acting was superb. We even saw one of my "girlfriends" there. It was good to see Marsha enjoying herself. It is a must see play that is based on the movie with the same title.

    Earlier in the day Elise and I started a game of Scrabble that we will finish up soon. We are going to have dinner this evening at "Club Congress" downtown. We will be dining at the "Cup". We have not been there in quite awhile.

    After dinner we are going to the "Arizona Theater Company" to see the play "A Weekend with Pablo Picasso". It got rave reviews so it should be a good one.

    Well, I had better get busy. Have a great weekend.

   It's a TGIF! What is up? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning but I don't think that she will be popping up anytime soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee just finished brewing and my cup is at the ready position to be filled. I will enjoy a bowl of cereal with strawberries this morning as well. Yummy!

    We are going to have dinner this evening at "La Parrilla Suiza". After our light dinner we are going to the "Live Theater Workshop" to see the play " Enchanted April". It should be a good one and it got great reviews.

    Well, Elise, Dottie, and I had a very nice time at the "Apache Gold Casino and Resort". The slots were singing away and they were paying off nicely. So well, that the "Queen of Keno"  Dottie has lost her crown, yes she did. Now I am the new Queen of Keno", smile! Yes, I said "Queen". Hey, don't read into that OK? Just ask my playmate or my "girlfriends" about that if you need clarification. I dare you! Smile!

    We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the "Steakhouse". The food was very good and the portions were huge. We slept very well in the hotel and it is nice and quiet. I am sure that we will be going back again. We came home with over $1600.00 cha chings and that is always a plus in this "Keno Queens" eyes.

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