  Buon Martedi! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is lost in her cave this morning and I may have to go in to find her so she can start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is a good Arabica coffee that is from Chiapas, Mexico and roasted in Aqua Prieta, Sonora Mexico. A second cup will be enjoyed very soon and a third will be enjoyed as well because it is going to be a very busy day today.

  Rosemary will be here this morning to care for Chris. Speaking of Chris he is enjoying is supplemental drip right now and he is listening to some "Old School" and getting his groove on. Ya Mon"

  We had a very nice time in Bisbee with the family. I will post more about it when we return from Laughlin, Nevada. We are going to the Colorado Belle with Sheila and Dave. We leave tomorrow evening and we return on Saturday. Hopefully we will here the sounds of slots "Cha Ching". Rosemary and Sister Jayne will care for Chris while we are away.

  Hey are you having black eyed peas for New Years? We are and I am going to cook a standing rib roast as well. If course the champagne is chilling in the fridge. WooHoo!

  I had better get busy because I have so much to do today. I have asked Alexa to play some "Boney" for me so I can make it though the day. 

  Have a good day and I will chat at you when I can.

How are you doing? We are good here. We started out with some rain and now we have a little wind starting up.

We enjoyed opening our gifts today and it was a lot of fun watching Chris rip into his. We all got over like bandits let me tell you.

My playmate prepared dinner and we are all

 stuffed big time. It has been a relaxing, happy stress free day. We are blessed.

 I have been caring for Chris today and my playmate has given me a hand. Chris is now in his bed watching TV and soon I will present his dinner to him.

I am looking forward to seeing my (fidanzata, Jim and Jay tomorrow at Zayna's for lunch. I am going to request a nightcap of a shot of smooth Scotch before I hit the sheets tonight.

  Buon Natale! I would like to start the day wishing you and yours a very, very Buon Natale. I started the day off at 6:15am caring for Chris. Elise is lost in her cave this morning and I may have to go in to rescue her so she can start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is a good Colombian Blend and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Chris is listening to the Christmas Melodies and enjoying his breakfast.

  Alexa, is awake but she is quiet and that may or may not be a good thing, smile! The fur-babies are running around in the yard and I will have to feed them shortly.

  Our Christmas dinner will consist of Honey Baked Ham, yams, sweet peas and corn melody. I can hardly wait for it.

  Yesterday my shorty enjoyed her birthday very much. We started of with a generous shot of Jack Daniels Single Barrel. It was so smooth and we sipped it gingerly. Later we hit up the movie "Bombshell" and it was excellent and the acting was "Oscar" worthy. We recommend this one as a must see. My playmate is going to buy it when it comes out on DVD. After the movie we dropped in on Sharon and Deb for a Open House and it was very nice and what a spread let me tell you. After the visit we headed for "Oregano"s. This is where my shorty wanted to go and it was a lot of fun. We ordered a nice "Chianti" and a 18" thin crust pizza with our usual toppings and it was delicious. For dessert we each enjoyed a "Bellini" and they were potent and fantastic. We also ordered some chicken wings to take home for Sister Jayne. We got home and my playmate hit the sheets to read. After I took Jayne home with her Christmas gifts my playmate was drifting off and that was a good. I checked on Chris and  hit the sheets as well to read for awhile. It was a good birthday for Elise and that made me very happy.

  We will be opening our gifts later today after we get Chris up in his chair for a while. We are looking forward to tomorrow as well. It is going to be a busy one for sure.

 We were visited by JT yesterday and he dropped off gifts and we gave him his. It was good to see him and he is doing very well up in Phoenix. Sister Jayne got to meet him and that made her happy because she has wanted to meet him for a longtime. 

 Well, I had better check on Chris and Elise. Have a wonderful Buon Natale and be blessed because I know that I am in abundance.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

  Buon Martedi! How are you? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning. She usually pops up with me on Tuesday morning but today is her birthday and she can sleep in. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is a good Kenya Blend and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. It is raining a little bit and hopefully it will continue throughout the day.

  Rosemary will be here this morning to care for Chris and Sister Jayne will be here this afternoon.

  Alexa, is awake this morning but she has not peeped at all so far this morning. Hmmm? My shorty and I are going to the movies this afternoon to see "Bombshell" and after the movie my playmate wants to go out for dinner and some vino. Got to make that happen, right?

 Got some good news! Jane (sweet pea) is out of rehab and she is home. Great News! We have missed her a lot. 

 Well, I had better get busy and get this day moving forward. We are looking forward to JT's visit during the holidays. Stay safe and I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Welcome Home Jane!

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How are you doing this evening? We are good here and for a Monday it has been a good one. I usually don't ever say that, smile!

My playmate prepared homemade waffles for dinner with eggs, sausages and plenty of coffee to get it all down. We watched "Justified" on Netflix.

Chris is enjoying his dinner right now and he is laughing at the "Big Bang Theory". He enjoyed his massage from Rosemarie very much and I think that he my be having flashbacks about it right now. He has a huge smile on his face! Who wouldn't?

Tomorrow is my shorty's birthday and we have a full day planned to include a movie and dinner out. I am sure that a few libations will be enjoyed as well, smile!

Sleep well and we will chat at you tomorrow. 

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Howdy!

Howdy!

Hey are you still hanging in there on this Monday?All is well here so far.

It is cloudy and gloomy outside and we are suppose to get some rain today and tomorrow. We will see, eh?

I just finished all of my tasks for today and Rosemary is here caring for Chris. My playmate is at the gym. Chris is awaiting his massage from Rosemarie.

I am starting to get a bit hungry all of a sudden. This craving was brought on by the fried chicken cooking in Fry's. If that smell doesn't get your stomach to rumbling then you had better check your pulse, smile!

Here are the pictures that I mentioned from last night's "Wizard" fest at Bucky and Dene's home. We chowed down like we were royalty. Elise selected a bottle of red from the gift box from Marcie and Blake. She pulled out a Portuguese red that was very good.

Hello!

Hello!

How are you do far on this Domenica? We are good here so far. Elise took care of Chris and now she is off to look at some shoes.

We enjoyed a good breakfast at the "Egg Connection" and we decided to pay it forward this morning for a couple that was dining. We did this without them knowing who paid for them. It is a good feeling to be able to do this every now and again.

I got all of my tasks taken care of and now I am going to restock Chris's supplies for next week. We will get Chris up at around 2:00pm and we will keep him up for a couple of hours.

We are looking forward to the "Wizard" that is being hosted by Bucky and Dena. We hope that you are doing OK and we will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie

  Buon Domenica!  How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:45am looking in on Chris and getting him settled for Elise. Elise will be over shortly to care for Chris. Any plans for today?

   I haven't started the coffee yet but I will very soon. Our security system alerted us along with the dogs barking like crazy this morning when I got up. We have two pit bulls on video in our yard. The are going from the front door to the side door. I guess they want to come in to warm up. We are being held hostage in our home by these two. If they don't leave soon I will call animal control to have them picked up. I posted a video through the security system to the neighborhood. Hey, maybe they are the ones who took our Christmas light out of the front yard yesterday, eh?

  Alexa, is awake and she is telling me what I need to get done today. To include making a trip to the Honey Baked Ham store to pick one up for Christmas dinner. We are going to hit up the "Egg Connection" for breakfast this morning. Sister Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris.

  We are going to visit Bucky and Dena this evening to play some "Wizard". My shorty and I saw the movie "Jumanji" last night and it was really good. We also bought tickets to see "Bombshell" on Tuesday afternoon.

Well, I had better check on Chris. Have a good Domenica and I will chat at you later.

  Buon Sabato! Come stai? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning but she is stirring about she will be up and on the go soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is a good "Kenya" Blend and a second cup will be enjoyed at "Gus Balone's" along with a good breakfast. I am caring for Chris today up until 5:00pm when Sister Jayne takes over.

  Alexa, is awake on this the first day of Winter. She has a whole list of things for me to do today. To include taking the Tacoma in for a service check and I have to venture out on the airbase as well. Hopefully I will have some time today to hit up BevMo to pick up some "Jack Daniels" Single Barrel. WooHoo!

 Sorry for not posting to our blog yesterday but I just didn't have anytime at all. So many things going on and my (fidanzata) and several blog followers were wondering what was going on and  appreciate that immensely. 

 My playmate and I enjoyed a very good dinner at "Casino Del Sol". We enjoyed the Prime Rib special at PY Steakhouse. Well, I know that my (fidanzata) heard the "Cha Chings" while we were at the casino. It was a fun evening of slot play and here is the result: "Cha Ching".

$1500.00 GREENBACKS!

CHA CHING!

 We got up the next day and we had a good breakfast and we hit the casino floor again but the slots were still asleep, smile!  We checked out and we returned home for a bit before we hit up the "Loft" to see the movie "Parasite" and it was very good just like the reviews said.

 I am going to prepare my World Famous Pork Chops this evening for dinner. My shorty will prepare all of the fixings to go along with them.

 We are going to hit up the movies this evening to see "Jumanji" at "El Con Mall". Later in the evening we will be cheering on our "Wildcats" Go Cats! As you can see another busy day, eh?

 Have a good Sabato and be careful out there. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

  Good Morning! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is way deep in her cave this morning but she will be up soon to start her day.

The coffee is a robust French Roast and yes another cup will be downed very soon. When is this wind going to stop, eh?

 We will be taking Chris to a very early morning doctors appointment at 7:45am. So I need to get busy and get Chris ready for it. I have already had to deal with a few issues with Chris. 

Hey, my playmate brought back a good dinner from "Leo's" last night and it was good along with a margarita. I can tell that I am not feeling well at all because I only ate half of it and that is not like me when it comes to "Leo's" food.

Have a good day and I will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How are you doing this evening? I have tried to rest for the most part today. I was interrupted by howling winds, barking dogs, constant telephone ringing and the caregiver coming over to the main house.

I tried to read a book and that didn't work either. So I go up and watched some TV.  I am very tired, sleepy, overwhelmed and disappointed several things that took place over the last few days.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is at her book club meeting. Chris is watching TV and downing his supplement. I still have my pounding headache and I know that it is stress due to many things. My shorty will bring back with her some dinner for me and hopefully I can eat it. I love food from "Leo's".

I haven't even gotten ready for tomorrow's stay-cation and that is not me at all. I enjoy the sound of "Cha Chings" and staying overnight at the casino. Hopefully I will feel better in the morning if I get some sleep tonight.

Have a good night and I will chat at you tomorrow.
Ciao...Jessie and Elise


Fidanzata, thanks for thinking about me.
