Good Night!

Good Night!

Was your day good? Chris and I relaxed, rested, and movie up all afternoon. We love those horror movies, yes we do.

I worked on our upcoming Murder Mystery Dinner. It is coming along nicely. Tomorrow my To Do List is very lengthy, and I hope to complete it. 

Elise prepared some chili for dinner. We also had crackers, baby carrots, tomatoes and cottage cheese. It was very good.

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is on her desktop. She will be leaving soon for the Tucson Women's Chorus practise.

Have a good night and beware of those withes, ghouls and goblins.
Ciao.....Jessie and Elise  

Howdy!

Howdy!

Hey, how are you? We are good here. Chris and I are listening to a digital book. It is very good and we are really into it.

Well, my To Do List is just about finished for today. Chris and I are going to stroll the hood for a bit and then we will be watching horror movies for most of the afternoon.

I am going to distribute money out for the Murder Mystery Dinner Players. I also need to get with Elise so we can go over everything again to make sure that all goes well.

I also need to get my suitcase out for our stay at Casino Del Sol. I am after Dottie (ex-queen) of Keno. May the best Keno player be the victor. Right Dottie?

I have no idea why I am hungry for a burger and fries. It does sound good and I may have to do something about it very soon. Have a good one.
Later....Jessie

   Hey, how about that game last night? Go Cleveland! We, had a grand time last night at "Zeman's" with Paula, Marty, Shoo and Stu. The food was excellent and we downed three, yes three bottles of red. Thanks guys for a great time.

   My shorty and I will be joined by Dottie (ex-Keno Queen) on Wednesday at the Casino Del Sol for an overnight (perk) stay. We love those perks. It will be a battle royal at the Keno Slots. We are also going to enjoy dinner at the PY Steakhouse as well that is located in the casino. "Cha Ching"

We will finish up the kitchen ceiling and living room in Chris's house. Bobby is going to paint the computer room and that will complete Chris's house.

   We had a very nice dinner at "Cody's Beef and Bean" last night with Bobby. The food was as good as ever and we were stuffed. The carafe of Burgundy was spot on, smile!

   Hey, how about Cleveland? What a good game. We are looking forward to tonight's game as well. Go Cleveland! 

   The Murder Mystery Dinner is shaping  up very well. It is a lot of work to put one of these on but it is fun. Well, I have a few errands to take care of this morning that are on my To Do List. It is going to be a very busy day.

   Chat at you later....Jessie and Elise

Jane, were you able to watch the whole game last night. Were you couch locked? If you were I can understand that,no doubt.

Monna, how is everyone?

Ross and Denise, how are things?

Evening!

Hey what are you up to? Chris and I just finished watching "Chain Saw Massacre 2". We loved it and we laughed and laughed some more.

My shorty is out doing some touch up painting on the main house.

We both looked over more info and directions for the up coming Murder Mystery Dinner. We have to make sure that it goes well. Smile!

  The coffee is good and I am eyeing the leftovers from dinner last night. Yes, it is looking good. Marv will be here this evening to care for Chris.

  We are going to have dinner this evening at "Cody's Beef and Bean". Can you say a carafe of Burgundy at room temperature? We will without a doubt. Bobby will be joining us for this one.

  We had a wonderful evening at "Pinnacle Peak" with Mike, Vicki, Pat and Susan. The food was delicious and the prices for our meal has soared since we were there some time ago. It was an evening of fun, laughs and plenty of patrons having the scissors taken to their ties. It is a no-no to wear a tie to "Pinnacle Peak". Your tie will be cut in two and you may be strung up by a rope as well. YeeYa! Thank you Mike, Vicki, Pat and Susan for a great evening.

Shorty and I are relaxing until it is time to head out for "Pinnacle Peak" for dinner with Mike, Vicki, and Pat. Can you say big Cowboy? I will for sure with a bottle of a good red. Elise was working on the (sashes)m for the Murder Mystery Dinner. They are looking good. We will be going over the Mystery and making sure everything is good so that it will go smoothly. This one is a bit different for us because it is not scripted at all. Scary huh? NOT!

Have a good night and sleep well.

GOT CRABS WITH A MODELO

LOVE THOSE WINGS TO THE BONE. I FORGOT MY NUTS!

Yo, how is it going for you so far on Thirsty Thursday? I is going very well so far, and that is good. Chris is relaxing with Jayne.

My playmate and I are going to go to the movies this afternoon at Park Place Mall. We have not been there in quite a while.

We has such a good evening with Jane and Papa John at "Humble Pie". We enjoyed watching the game and chowing down on pizza's, wings, beer and wine. It is a very cozy place I must say

My pizza came out late due to a mix up in the kitchen. Our waiter was from London and he apologized for the delay, but the pizza was delicious.

We hope that your day is going well. My sister Marcie enjoyed the write up about the Murder Mystery Dinner and so did Mary on the East Coast.

Have a good one. Gotta run.

Good Morning!

Mood: Content! Cautious!

Music listening to: Raspberry Beret by Prince

   It's a Thirsty Thursday! Sup? I started the day off at 5:00am looking in on Chris. Jayne is here caring for Chris. Elise up and at the gym swimming this morning early. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and a will brew up a second pot shortly.  I will give more info about our dinner at "Humble Pie" last night with Jane and Papa John.

   My sister Marcie got on my case yesterday because I have not posted any hints or description of players for our upcoming Murder Mystery Dinner.  So here you go. Be amazed! Can you guess who the killer is? I dare you.


KILLING FOR THE CROWN

A Night of Murder and Mayhem at the Miss America Pageant.

After a week of competing in the nation's most prestigious beauty pageant, the contestants, judges and supporters are invited to a pre-pageant party the night before the final round of competition.

With Miss America crown on the line, everyone seems desperate to gain the competitive edge on their rivals...and for one guest that means murder!

Will it be Whiny Miss Wisconsin who is obsessed with winning? The ambitious Miss Alabama whose acting career is at stake? The tawdry Miss Texas who uses her sexuality to get ahead? Of possibly the reining queen who is not looking forward to giving up her crown. 

With a pageant that has been plagued with scandal from its beginning, there is no reason this year should be any different.

Amanda America- Reigning Miss America: When Amanda loses the crown, she is afraid that she will lose a great deal more. Naive and nice. Thinks the world loves her.

Anna Alabama- Miss Alabama: A talented actress. Anna has a movie career riding on her abilities to win the crown. Drama queen if ever there was one. She need to know how to flatter the right individuals.

Amy Arizona- Miss Arizona: A cunning contestant who is good for her word and expects the same of others. You had better not double-cross her,for she is always known to get her way. Calculating and conniving, good at keeping secrets.

Candy California- Miss California: As the daughter of a former beauty queen, Candy was always pressured to succeed. Now that she is on her own, she must rely on her abilities to win. Materialistic and a bit of a push over.

Izzy Idaho- Miss Idaho: Izzy is a hard worker with a great mind. This medical school wannabe needs the scholarship money to fund her way to a brighter career. Smart and outgoing. Secretive about her personal affairs.

Tina Texas- Miss Texas: A shoo-in for the crown and a favorite with many of the judges, Tina will do anything to win. Will her drive come back to hurt her in the end? Rich an spoiled. Cocky and confident.

Patty Pageant- Pageant Coordinator: As a former Miss America, Patty is responsible for orchestrating the greatest pageant ever. Patty has been running the show all week and will have to take charge if anything happens. Inquisitive and doesn't mind speaking in front of a crowd and to individuals.

Judge Julie- Celebrity  Judge: As a former beauty queen, Julie knows what it takes to win an she is making sure that the contestants do,too. Dirty an immoral, can be secretive and easily bribed.

Judge Jasmine- Celebrity Judge: As a Hollywood talent scout, she  would rather see a talented contestant win than a conniving one. Righteous an judicial.

Judge Joe- Celebrity Judge: The brother of a Hollywood heartthrob, Joe s far from celebrity status, but his relationship to Amanda America is what keeps him on the panel. Superficial and a bit sleazy. The man considers himself very attractive.

P.I. Joe- Private Investigator: Hired to find information on the contestants, Pete may have a few secrets that can get him-or others-in trouble. Inquisitive and sneaky.

Daddy Big Bucks- Oil Tycoon: Father of both Tina Texas and Natalie New Mexico, he couldn't be more proud. Some say Daddy is buying the competition ,others say he is simply buying off others to do his dirty work. Loud and proud father. Rich and willing to throw his money around.


Good guessing!

Later....Jessie and Elise

Hello!

Hello!

Hey are you good so far? I just got back in the house to check on Chris after a nice walk of the perimeter. 

I just received a text from Bobby. He is under the weather this morning so I will be caring for Chris this morning. Let's hope that Bobby starts to feel better soon.

Chris just gave me one of those looks that says, "Let's get this show on the road. It's a Humper!

Later....Jessie 

Hump Day!

   The coffee is good and of course a second cup will be enjoyed. Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris and Jayne will be here this afternoon. It is another nice morning here in Tucson. It is suppose to be heating up for the next couple of days.

   I just glanced at my To Do List and it is not going too be a bad day at least we hope not. Smile! 

   We are going to picked up this evening by Jane and Papa John for dinner. We are going to "Humble Pie" up in the foothills. They have some very good pizza there. While we are there we will continue watching the second game of the World Series. Go Cleveland! Right Jane?

    Have a good "Humper". Jane need I say more? I thought not. Will we be shaking some nuts this evening? WooHoo!

Cheers....Jessie and Elise

Good Night!

Good Night!

Is your day over? Well, mine is still going strong. I am caring for Chris tonight. Chris and I have been enjoying watching horror movies this afternoon. We love them.

Well, my To Do List has been completed for today. Tomorrow will be another busy day for me, and I am ready to rock and roll.

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner this evening. We enjoyed French Toast, sausages and coffee. Oh so good! We are watching the World Series and Cleveland is doing very well so. Jane, need I say more? Nope! Smile!

Our cable box is acting up tonight. We get sound on all channels except channel 11 (Fox) were the game is being presented. So we are watching the TV with the radio on. We called and a tech will be out tomorrow to replace the box.

I picked up the paint to finish Chris's kitchen and living room. Once that is all done we will start to tape up the computer room.

We hope that you are having a good evening. Sleep well and have a glass of a good red (vino).
Nite.......Jessie and Elise

Elise is in her office on her desktop. I just returned from driving around looking for photo opts for October's Photo book.

Are you ready for the first game of the World Series. We are and I must say go Cleveland it is going to be a good series.

Elise prepared leftover tuna casserole that was better then when she made it. We watched Blue Blue on Netflix and The Foster's as well.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is at the "Tucson Women's Chorus" practise. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day for me and my To Do List. I will be picking up more items for the Murder Mystery Dinner.

I just made a reservation for 2 November at Casino Del Sol. We are going to meet Dottie (ex-Keno Queen) there for slots and dinner. I will be causing her major problems on the Keno slots. Yeah!

I think I heard Jane and John cheering from Las Vegas. Well, the bet is on between my shorty and I and the prize is dinner at "Johnathan's Cork" WooHoo!

  We saw the movie "Denial" instead of "Masterminds" last night. It was a very good movie and very interesting. This is a must see. We are going to hit up the movies again this evening if time permits. 

 Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris. Our next door neighbors had a rousing party last night in their backyard with music, dancing, loud talking, but they ended it at around 11:30pm. They informed us that it was going to take place.

Cheers......Jessie and Elise

8 Oct 16

We slept well last night and we hit the pillow early due to we are heading home this morning. We had called the day before to have a cab to pick us up and take us to JFK.

The cab arrived at 7:15am and we were ready to go. We got to JFK and checked in. We tried to change our seating so that we could sit together, but we could not due to it was a full flight to Phoenix.We enjoyed a light breakfast in the airport prior to take-off.

It was a good flight to Phoenix. We arrived in Phoenix and we changed planes to make our way to Tucson. On the flight to Tucson we sat together. We got to Tucson and we got our luggage and we headed to the "Towne Place Suites" near the to stay overnight.

We enjoyed a nice Jack and Coke in our hotel room. We are getting ourselves together and we decided to go out for dinner. We went to "Karichimaka's" a Mexican restaurant that Elise suggested. She had not been there since Chris was 20 years old. The food was very good and so was the pitcher of beer. Yeah! After dinner we returned to our hotel and we called it a night.

The next morning we got up and walked over to "Jerry Bob's" for breakfast. Yep, we are still walking. Can you believe that? Smile! The food was good. We walked back to the "Towne Place Suites" and we checked out. This officially ended our trip.

We had a very nice time in Brooklyn, New York and we are looking forward to returning in the near future. Great trip!

   

What Is Up?

What is Up?

How are you? I am hanging in there so far. I am almost finished with my To Do List for today. Only a couple more items and I am done. Yes!

Elise is out running her errands and I am about to do some more work on getting ready for our Murder Mystery Dinner.

We are going to go to the movies this evening to see "Mastermind". It should be good and funny. Here is a bit more about our trip to New York. 
Later...Jessie

7 Oct 16

We are both up and limping around (sore backs, hips, shoulders and knees.) Elise was up for a good part of the night with a severe stomach ache at least until 1:30pm. 
She is feeling a bit better but she could not get to sleep and she was worried about keeping me awake. She believes that it was the soup that we had at dinner.

We contacted Calvin our host to see if he could print out our boarding passes. He agreed to do so. There was a problem with my seat, so we will sort it out tomorrow. We may not be sitting together on our return flight.

We then decided to go and get some breakfast. We went to a small French restaurant  on the corner. We had eggs, bacon, ham, salad and French bread. Elise din't eat much so I finished mine and part of Elise's.

We returned to our room and we got online and we had to pay an extra $81.00 for me to get a decent seat on the flight back home that was not way in the back next to the bathroom. Bummer! My seat was two rolls behind Elise.

Then we decided to hit the subway and head to Coney Island. Unfortunately is was closed.  It is only open in the summer months. We walked on the beach and it was very nice.  After that we caught the subway back to our studio.

We rested up a bit in our room before we ventured out again for dinner.  We went to "Cody's Ale Shop". Yep, I said "Cody's" our favorite restaurant here in Tucson. Our's is "Cody"s Beef and Bean" and this one is "Cody's) not beef and no bean. Smile!

The food was very good and I was thrilled because I enjoyed a open-faced hot turkey sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Man was that good.  We shared some BBQ wings as well. Elise ordered a cheeseburger and fries. She completely broke her gluten-free diet by eating the bread and all. It was the first complete hamburger she has had in over 10 years. She loved it, but tomorrow it is back to reality. 

We return to our studio and we start to pack up our suitcases for the trip home in the morning. Our taxi will pick us up at 7:15am in he morning to go to JFK.

What a pleasant last day in Brooklyn, New York!
