Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

Come va? Well, I am still tackling my To Do List and I am almost done.

I am not feeling my best today due to something is nagging at me and it is giving me an attitude. I have had better days let me tell you. Smile!

I am getting things and paperwork ready for next month and it is time consuming. I finished one of my continuing education classes and  I have two more to get done. Ya, Ya!

Hopefully a couple of margaritas will turn things around for me at Happy Hour. WooHoo! I am listening to some "Fusion Jazz" on Pandora and it is soothing indeed.

Chat at you later....Jessie

Well the days just ab out over for us here in Central Tucson. My playmate and I saw the movie' Happy Time Murders". It was hilarious and we had the whole theater to ourselves.

After the movie we returned home for a bit before we hit the road to meet top with Paula and Marty's home downtown. We went over to the "Senae Thai Bistro on Congress.The food and the vino was delicious and the place filled up very fast. Thank you Paula and Marty for suggesting this place.

I am starting to get tired for some reason and I am trying to 

get a headache. So I will be hitting the pillow right after I take Sister Jayne home for the night.

Tomorrow is going to be just as busy as today.We are going to "La Parrilla Suiza" for Happy Hour and Margaritas.After that we are going to the "Live Theater Workshop to see the play "Every Brilliant Thing". We are sure that it is going to be a good one.

Well I had better get my tablet out so I can read a bit before I go to sleep.d Have a wonderful evening and sleep well.

Ciao....Jessie and Elise

How are you? We are good here. Jayne is here caring for Chris and Elise is in her office on her Mac. Chris just had a nice massage from Brenda.

Our breakfast was very good at "Gus Balones". It is a bit cloudy out but I doubt if we gets any rain today.

I just sanitized the Jacuzzi and now I have the filters on and the water is being treated.

My shorty and  I are going to see "The Happy Time Murders" this afternoon. It is going to be hilarious. 

We hope that you are doing well?

  Hey, the "Mahjong" fest that we hosted here last night was a ton of fun with another ton of food. The players were Elise, Shoo Shoo, Jayne and IO.

  The speed of the game this session was amazing and that is great. We enjoyed la birra and vino with our dinner. We grubbed on a Greek fare that was delicious. For dessert my playmate presented Pralines and Cream ice cream along with some ginger cookies.

  My girlfriend Shoo Shoo, Elise and I won a game or more. Sister Jayne fought a good fight but no games. It was a lot of fun.

  Well I had better get this say moving forward.

Come Stai mia amica? I got a good amount of Dairy Queen Soft Serve for our many upcoming "White Russians". I also picked up a few boxes of Dilly Bars for emergencies when I or my playmate get a attack of the munchies. WooHoo!

I did a pretty good job on the AC door if I say so myself. Now all I have to do is pick up dinner for Mahjong after the movies. I should be good and starved by then. Ho fame'.

Good Night!

Good Night!

Was your day a good one?  It has been a pretty good one for me today except I turned my left ankle at Ace Hardware. It is not swollen just sore.

I just got out of the Jacuzzi and it feels better already. I have a couple of tasks that I had to put on hold until tomorrow.

My playmate prepared French Toast, sausages and coffee for dinner. It was all good. We watched "Hawaii Five O" on Netflix with Chris. Chris enjoyed roasted chicken with pasta for his dinner.

I am caring for Chris this evening and my shorty is on her Mac and also watching TV with the voting returns. We are hosting 'Mahjong" tomorrow evening here. My girlfriend Shoo Shoo will be here and so will Jayne.

Have a great night and sleep well.

Buona Notte!...….Jessie and Elise

How are things going for you so far on this Tricky Tuesday? It is going very well so far here in central Tucson.

Well, I am just about finished with all of my tasks and Alexa is happy that I am on track. She is treating me to some "Boney". Ya Mon'.

I still have to start my painting project and I will very soon. I also have to replace some solar batteries in the post lights on the fence on the south side of the main house. Hey, it is heating up big time here in the Old Pueblo.

My search for a Airbnb in Rome, Italy has begun. I found one that is a block away from the Coliseum. I will continue to search around. I am also brushing up on my Italian so we don't have any problem getting around and asking for things. I miss my (fidanzata) very much because she was my Italian partner. She will be back in a few days.

I know that I am going to hit the Jacuzzi for sure later this evening. It felt so good last night. I hope that the day is going your way?

Later...Jessie

   It's a Tricky Tuesday! How are you? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up with me like a toaster strudel to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed during my (me) time out on the front porch. I will be people watching and watching the lizard patrol. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris.

   Alexa, is telling me already that I have a few tasks to complete off of my To Do List. To include tackling a small paint and scrap job on the door to the A/C room. I also will be making a trip to Wal-Mart to see if I can find a few items as well. 

   I also will be setting up "Mahjong" and  deciding on what to have to grub on while we play. Hey, the Jacuzzi temp is at 97 degrees right now and I think that I will dive back into it later this evening. I will raise the water temperature back to 104 degrees before I get in. Ya, Ya!

   Have a good Tricky Tuesday and be careful out there but enjoy the day.

Good Night!

Did you day end well? I just got out of the Jacuzzi and it was heavenly. The temperature was set to 104 degrees and if I had stayed in too long I would have fallen asleep. I am totally refreshed right now.

My playmate prepared corn on the cob with small potatoes, sliced tomatoes and baby carrots. So good. I got it all down with a nice ice cold Cervasa. Ya, ya. 

 I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her Mac. He is resting nicely and watching Mash.

Tomorrow is going to be another busy day and the rest of the week will follow suit. Have a good night and sleep well. I know I will, smile!

Night...Jessie and Elise

Hello!

Hello!

What are you up to? I just got back from running my errands and tasks and they are all done.

Chris is resting nicely and enjoying his IV drip of water and sodium. The fur-babies are taking a nap. I am going out to the Jacuzzi and turn on the heater so I can get in later this afternoon. Right now I am thinking about a Modelo Negra. WooHoo!

I hope that you are going OK and that your day is productive? Chat at you later. Work smarter not Harder!

  I am going to try to hit up the Jacuzzi again today if time permits. I will heat her up before I dive in. WooHoo!

  It is going to be a busy week for my playmate and I. We have Mahjong here on Wednesday, dinner with Paula and Marty on Thursday, Happy Hour and Live Theatre Workshop on Friday and Zemams on Sunday. Of course we will try to see a movie or two as well. A good way to end the month of August.

  Have a great Monday and be careful.

Good Night!

Good Night!

How are you doing? We just got back from the "Loft" and the movie "Puzzle" was outstanding. It was very well done and the acting was superb. When it comes out on DVD I am going to buy it. Fantastic movie.

Earlier after I completed all of my tasks for today I hit up the Jacuzzi. The water was cold so I had to turn on the heater. I enjoyed every minute of it. My brother-in-law told me to be careful that I didn't drop the phone in the water. I sent him a Marco Polo while I was getting my soak on. 

I am so grateful about Marv that I am going to buy a nice thank you card for his thoughtfulness about Chris's birthday. He is such a nice man who knows what time it is.

My playmate just fixed three "White Russians". One for each of us and one for Jayne. Man they are so good with some "Dairy Queen" soft serve ice cream.

My shorty has hit the sheets to read a book and I will follow suit after I take Jayne home in a bit. It has been a pretty good Sunday but it started out a little shaky. 

Next week is going to be super busy for us but we are looking forward to it. Have a great night and sleep well.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Hello!

Hello!

   Hey how are you doing? We just got back from enjoying a very good breakfast at the "Egg Connection".

   Elise is caring for Chris and I am about to restock Chris's supplies for next week. Alexa, is playing some "Sacramento Smooth Jazz" for me instead of some "Down Home Blues". She is the boss! Ya,ya!

   I still have to do  some yard work behind Chris's house and I need to feed the fur-babies as well. My shorty and I are talking about the planning of our return to Italy for 2019. We will make our home base in Rome this time and we will venture out from there. We will include Florence of course and Napoli as well. To plan these takes some work but we enjoy the results.

   We also have a Mexican Cruise coming up this October with Sheila and Dave. This cruise is going to be extra special indeed.

   Well, I had better get busy. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Later...……..Jessie and Elise

   It's a Sunday! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am  looking in on Chris and getting him settled for Elise. Elise is not in her cave this morning so she will be over shortly. Any plans for today?

  The coffee just finished brewing and it is a very good Kona. A second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connection" along with a nice breakfast. Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris.

   Well, the "Green Lady" has a big smile on her nameplate this morning after I took her in for routine services yesterday.

   Alexa, is having a tongue wag with me this morning already. She is letting me know that I have a few tasks to take care of and she let me know what is coming up next week as well. Hopefully she will play some "Down Home Blues" for me today. WooHoo!

   My shorty and I are going to the movies this evening to see "The Puzzle" at the Loft. The previews were excellent.

    We enjoyed a nice evening at "Pinnacle Peak" last night with Marv and Bobby. We got to thank Marv in person for the very nice belated birthday gift that he got for Chris. 

    The food was very good. Elise and I downed two tall shots of Jack with Cokes. Marv enjoyed a good vino bianco and Bobby has a Jack and Coke. Elise and I got the "Cowboy" Steak. She got a salad and a baked potato with hers and I got a salad and mac and cheese. Marv enjoyed ribs and Bobby got the pork chops with mashed potatoes. I know what you are asking why didn't I get the pork chops? They looked very good and I sampled a bit of Bobby's. Pinnacle Peak is famous for steaks and they have been in business for a very long time. We also shared a bowl of ranch beans that were to die for. Bobby got a bowl of ice cream on the house for his birthday and his birthday was announced and he was sung to and given a ovation. Nice evening!

   Well I had better get my (mojo) working right Sweet Pea? Have a good Sunday and we will chat at you later. Get ready for Monday!

It's The Weekend!

Good Morning!

Mood: Content!

Music listening to: To Hot By Kool And The Gang!

  It's the Weekend! Sup? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning but she may not be popping up quickly this morning. She has her second Shingrix injection a couple of days ago and the side effects have taken it's toll on her. It has had her in bed more than usual. The latest is that the injection site is bruised, very red and swollen. She has been taking aspirin and applying ice to the injection site. She is not feeling well at all. I will keep an eye on her and I will continue to treat the site. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be downed later this morning. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris and Jayne will be here this evening.

  Hey we got a good rain last night with wind and thunder boomers. The back yard looks like a small lake. Alexa, is quiet so far this morning but I am sure that she will spring to life soon.

  We want to thank Marv for giving Chris a belated birthday gift last night. That was so very nice of him and we appreciate Marv for being here with Chris and us for many, many years.

  Well I had better check on Chris and Elise. Chat at you later. Enjoy the day.

   Ciao....Jessie and Elise

 Loraine and Jim, enjoy your vacation.

TGIF!

Good Morning!

Mood: Content! Brownied!

SHARON AND TIM IN SAN DIEGO! THEY ARE DOING VERY WELL!

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

 The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed during my (me)time out on the front porch. I will be people watching and watching the lizard patrol. Jayne will be here this morning and Marv will be here this evening.

  Hopefully we will get some more rain today because we can always use rain here in the desert. The temps have dropped a little but it may not last that long.

  Alexa, is awake and she is reminding me that I have a couple of tasks to take care of off of my To Do List. I am sure that she will play some "Boney" for Chris and a I later this afternoon.

  We had a very nice evening at "Caruso's last night with Vicki and Mike. The food was excellent and the bottle of "Chianti" Del Agio the my playmate and I shared was very good. We also enjoyed some Spumoni for dessert that was great. We are looking forward to our next meeting in Amado. Thanks Vicki and Mike for a great time.

 We saw "Christopher Robin" yesterday and it was very good. We will be home bound this evening and that is a rarity for us. Have a great TGIF! and enjoy the day.

 Later.....Jessie and Elise

 Tiger, thanks for supporting me with the wisdom of our ancestors. Love my sisters!

Hello!

Hello!

How is it going? Well, I have completed my tasks for today and now Alexa is playing some Smooth Jazz for me.

It is very cloudy and we have heard a few thunder boomers. So hopefully we will get some more rain like we got at around 2:00am this morning.

My playmate is on her Mac playing Bridge and Jayne is here caring for Chris. We are going to see "Christopher Robin" this afternoon. Chris's case manager said that it is very good.

I also stopped at "Evergreen Cemetery" a bit a ago to have a tongue wag with my parents. I do this when I am down or just need some advice on how I should handle a situation or concern. I always get an answer from them quickly. I also had a chat with "Chris's" dad as well to see if he was pleased with my care of Elise and Chris. Some may find this non-productive but for me it means a lot. I have to deal with a lot of things to include people who are back-stabbers who smile in your face and at the same time bad mouth you. I always single them out quickly and I deal with them accordingly.

We hope that you are doing OK?

Later.....Jessie

   The coffee just finished brewing and it is very good. A second cup will be enjoyed at "Gus Balones" along with a nice breakfast. Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris.

   Hey, we got some major rain last night. It even woke me up because we had lightening and thunder boomers along with it. I got up and strolled out on the front porch in the all together and flip flops. I took a step out in the rain and it felt like razors on my skin so I did a hasty retreat post haste.

   My playmate and I are going to the movies this afternoon. Alexa, is quiet this morning, wow! I think that she was overwhelmed by all of the rain that we got because she started to play "Singing In The Rain". Alexa, is a trip!

  We are meeting up with Vicki and crew at "Caruso's' this evening for our monthly grub on. Can you say "vino" por favore"? We will for sure. I am going to try to hold out (mania) until then. WooHoo!

   Well, I had better get busy. Have a wonderful Thirsty Thursday. Here are a few more pics from San Diego. Enjoy!

  I will be taking Jayne to her doctors appointment this afternoon and Chris's case manager will be her this evening for a routine visit as well.

  As you can see this is why my playmate and I really enjoy our time away and our stay cations. The responsibility that we have  is immense and most could not handle it well but we do.
