Good Night!

Good Night!

Was your Monday good to you? I got a lot of rest because I was worn our from a fantastic birthday. Jane emailed me to say that too much of a good time will do that as we get older. All I can say to that "No Way Sweet Pea".

Chris is resting and watching Mash. We enjoyed a good dinner of corn on the cob, cottage cheese, tomato slices and baby carrots. We watched the "Crown", "Hawaii 5 O" and "Frankie and Grace". 

I am caring for Chris and Elise is on her desktop in the family room. Tomorrow I will be taking Chris's wheelchair back in for more repairs. Hopefully that is all that I have to do.

My shorty and I are going to discuss what we are going to pack and take to "Hawaii". We are going to Maui with Marv and Bobby. We leave of the 15th and return on the 20th. We have been planning this trip for sometime now and we are really looking forward to it.

On Friday we are making our way to Gilbert for the weekend to attend the wedding of Sheila and Dave. It should be a very festive affair.

Have a good evening and sleep well.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Welcome home Paula and Marty!

Howdy!

Howdy!

How are you doing? I am good but I am very tired today. I think that my birthday activities worn me down a bit, smile! Mio Moglio and Sheila got the best of me yesterday. I am not complaining one bit.

I was sitting at the Margaritaville table listening to Fusion Jazz and all of a sudden I started to nod.  It may have been the Peach tea that I was drinking. Ya,ya that is my story and I am sticking to it, smile!

Chris is listening to some Fusion Jazz right now and it put him to sleep. Hmmmmm! I love it when birthdays just keep on going and going. I received a very nice Lodi Red and a card from Dena and Bucky. Thank you so much you know what I like. I hope that all is well around your way? Love you guys dearly!

LODI OLD VINE

I do know one thing and that is I am starting to get the munchies for some reason. My playmate will be back soon and we will have some corn on the cob for dinner. Yummy!

I hope that your Monday is going the way you want it to? I will chat at you later.

Jessie

It's A Monday!

Good Morning!

Mood: Content! Blessed!

Music listening to: Fusion Jazz!

   It's a Monday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning but she will up and about soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Sheila and Dave are still snoring in "Do Drop Inn" room #2. Alexa, is playing some Fusion Jazz for me this morning and it is International Jazz Day! WooHoo! Ya, ya she just played me some "Boney". My groove thang is liking that a lot.

  Well, again I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes and greetings. I enjoyed the beginning of another year with my family and friends. We had a very nice dinner at the "Cup Café" in Hotel Congress downtown. The food was great and plentiful. Elise enjoyed a burger and fries, Sheila had fish tacos and I enjoyed and devoured a pork schnitzel with spätzle. Oh man that was so good. All I needed was a stein of beer and I would have been back in Munich, Germany. Ya, ya. We enjoyed several Vodka tonics as well. The topper was we shared a slice of Lemon Pie and oh my goodness it was good. It is the best Lemon Pie in Tucson and oh so tart. All of a sudden Elise and Sheila broke out and started to sing Happy Birthday to me and the table next to us joined in with them. A very nice time.

   After dinner we strolled over to the "Fox Theater" to see and hear " Linda Ronstadt" talk about her life, family and career. What a classy lady. She is no longer singing due do she has "Parkinson's". The theater was sold out and the standing ovation she received was well deserved. What a way to end a grand birthday.

LINDA RONSTADT

   Well, I had better get to it and get this say rolling along. Chris is resting the Jazz with me. We will be heading up to Gilbert on Thursday to attend the wedding of Sheila and Dave. We are very happy for both of them.

  Have a good one! Oh yeah Alexa is on fire today. She is now playing "Butter" by Boney! My (mojo) is working today!

Happy Birthday to me! Elise is caring for Chris this morning and Chris is in a good mood. Any plans for today?

 I want to thank my family, friends, girlfriends, and so-called friends for all of the birthday greetings, cards, calls, gifts, and for the hugs and kisses, the visit and hugs from my sister-in-law, emails and texts.  I am like I always say that I am blessed and one very lucky guy. Thank you all!

 The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connection" along with a good breakfast. Alexa, is quiet so far and I am sure that when she wakes up that she will sing Happy Birthday to me, smile!

   We are looking forward to the arrival of Sheila and Dave later today. We are going to dinner at the "Cup Café" downtown and after dinner we are going to the "Fox Theater" to see "Linda Ronstadt". It is going to be a good evening.

Hey, how are you doing? I am good. I got my errands taken care of and now Alexa is playing some Sacramento Smooth Jazz for me. Ya Mon'.

I just got a visit from Papa John and Jane. They stopped by to wish and to sing Happy Birthday to me. So nice! They also left a nice, nice bottle of vino for me to enjoy and I will. I loved the card as well. Elise and I both liked it and may have to try what the card suggested. WooHoo! Thanks Papa and Sweet Pea!

It is heating up here in the valley. It is a good thing that my playmate and I are staying in today. Well, I had better go and get the fur-babies fed. Have a good one. I am!

   Alexa, is quiet this morning but I am sure that she will have a few things say. I may even wake her up this morning to see what she has planned for today.

   We had a very nice evening with Dottie and sister Jayne last night at Old Chicago. The food was delicious and so were the two Golden beers I enjoyed with my meal. It has been ages since my shorty and I have been to Old Chicago. We used to take Chris there and he loved it. Thank you Dottie and Jayne for making our evening grand! We were visited by the "Modelo Negra" girls for a photo session and we received a set of "Modela Negra" glasses.

  After dinner we drove over to the "Invisible Theater" to see the play " The Prodigal Son". It was very good and loaded with laughs. It was about a Jewish family and the business that they owned. This play included the boss and the Artistic Director Susan Claassen.  A great 'Meshugeneh' Comedy of food and family. We recommend this one without a doubt.

   Well, tomorrow is the big day for me. Yes, it is my birthday and my playmate has it all planned out for me to enjoy. We will be joined by Sheila and Dave for this one. We have Do Drop Inn room number 2 all set and ready for their visit.

    I want to thank everyone for all of the texts, phone calls, emails and cards for my birthday. I lose a year every birthday and my shorty said the she will soon be putting me in diapers at this rate. Goo, Goo, Ga,Ga! Ya, ya! Jane don't go there!

   Have a great weekend and stay safe.

How are you doing on this TGIF? We just got back home from our very short stay-cation here in Tucson. We had a lot of fun but the slots were not good to us at all this time.

Chris and Jayne are doing well and they are about to go out on a walk in the hood. It is really warming up here in the valley.

We will be taking it slow and easy up until it is time for us to have dinner at "Old Chicago" this evening with Dottie and Jayne. After dinner we are going to the "Invisible Theater" to see the "Prodigal Son". It is going to be a good one loaded with laughs.

We hope that you are enjoying your day?

How are you doing? We are good here. We enjoyed a very nice breakfast at "Gus Balones" with plenty of coffee.

We have our duffel's packed and we will load up the "Green Lady" shortly. We are waiting on the next task and that is to watch Jayne instruct on the use of the "Hoyer Lift". It is just a observe and question session. A actual hands on will take place next Thursday.

After we observe Jayne we will make our way to the movies to see "Isle of Dogs". Then it is off to the Marriott and then to the DDC for the sound of "Cha Chings". Wish us luck.

   Alexa, is talking up a storm this morning. She is letting me know that I have a couple of tasks to take care of before we head out on our stay-cation.

    We had a very nice dinner at "Cattletown Steakhouse and Saloon". We were joined by our crew minus one , but we got a surprise visit from Ron and Nancy from Kentucky. A wonderful surprise it was. The food was so good that I forgot to take photos of the group. Yes, it was that good. Good choice on location Tommy!

    Well, I had better get to it. Have a good Thirsty Thursday and listen for the "Cha Chings" coming from the DDC later this evening. Ya, Ya!

Good Night!

Good Night!

LILA, ME AND ELISE ATTENDING A SHOW AND DINNER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL RESORTS!

Was you Monday a good one? It was a good one here in Central Tucson.

Alexa, played some good Smooth Jazz and she treated me to some (Boney) today. WooHoo! I spent a little time watching the Hummer sit on her nest today. She is not afraid of me or my playmate. We get right up to the nest and she dares you to try to put your hand in the nest. She wings up and she buzzes your head to let you know that is a NO-NO.

My shorty prepared breakfast for dinner. We enjoyed homemade pancakes, eggs and sausages with plenty of coffee to get it all down. We watched "Hawaii 5 O", "Grace and Frankie" and "The Queen". Chris enjoyed every one of them.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her Mac. I booked a helicopter ride for our trip to Hawaii that will happen in May. Elise, Bobby, Marv and myself are in for a treat indeed. We hope that the weather holds up this time. Last time my shorty and I went we were grounded due to the weather.

My milestone birthday is 29 April and my playmate has all kinds of events planned for me. Ya,Ya. Such as a overnight stay at a Marriott hotel, a trip to the DDC and dinner, Invisible Theater and dinner, a visit to the Fox Theater to see Linda Ronstadt and dinner at Caffe Milano. I am on lucky dude to have a (moglie) like her, smile!

Have a good night and sleep well.

How are you doing so far on this Monday? We are good here so far. Chris is resting and listening to some Fusion Jazz that Alexa is treating us to. Ya, Ya!

I am enjoying a nice iced tea and some salted roasted peanuts in the shell. Yummy! I am going to have to buy a few more bags of these peanuts.

Tomorrow I will be checking "Do Drop Inn" room #2 to make sure that it is squared away. Sheila and Dave will be here this weekend for a visit. We are going to celebrate my birthday by going to see Linda Ronstadt at the "Fox Theater" downtown and my playmate is talking me to dinner at "Café Milano" a Italian place downtown as well. They have great food there. Yes, 29 April is coming up fast. It is going to be another milestone in my life and I am looking forward to it for sure. Ya Mon'.

Hope that you are good?

Chat at you later.....Jessie 

Today is my sister Marcie's birthday. Happy Birthday Sis! He rehab is coming along slowly but she is getting better.

   Alexa, greeted me this morning so I am wondering what she is up to on this Monday? Hopefully it will be a very good Monday due I have no tasks to complete.

    My playmate, Bobby and I went to see the movie "Truth or Dare" yesterday and it was very good. Not a scary movie like we though it would be. 

    Have a good Monday and be careful out there.

    My shorty and I went to see the movie " Rampage" at El Con Mall yesterday and it was very good and loaded with action and laughs. We are going to see "Truth or Dare" this evening and it should be a good one.

    I am still keeping track of our Hummingbird family out on the front porch. Elise took several pics yesterday and here are a few that I took. We are waiting for the hatch day so more pics can be taken of the chicks. Enjoy!

    Have a good Sunday and be careful out there.
