Mood: Relaxed! Cha Ching!

Music listening to: I'll Be Good To You by the Brothers Johnson!

Buon Sabato! How are you doing? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is at the entrance to her cave this morning so she will be up and about soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

Actually we started our day off at around 3:30am. We were awakened by our fur-babies barking and doing a good job. Out front was a tow-truck and three police cars with lights flashing. A car was in front of the (popo) cars. They were talking to someone and thing we saw the car being towed away and the (popo) left.  I wonder what happened? So that was the start of our day for real!

The coffee is a good Sumatran Blend and a few more cups will be enjoyed this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that today is going to be a busy one for me. I asked her to play some (Boney) for me today.

Sister Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris. I am caring for Chris today. I will be in and out today getting things done to include a trip over on the eastside.

My playmate and I will be working on new rocks today if time permits.  Well our stay-cation at "Casino Del Sol" was very nice and laden with "Cha Chings". We had a nice room and we enjoyed a good dinner at "Ume" in the casino. We dined on a good red and we had Hot and Sour soup, Sweet and Sour pork, Combination fried rice. It was all good. On the 30th we enjoyed a good breakfast before we hit up the slots again. We love the perks that being a (Player) brings. Here are a few pics. Enjoy!











The big event was on 29 Oct on a Keno Slot. I won the 9 out of 10 Jackpot which paid $800.00. Woohoo! I shared it with my playmate. Good times in this time of Covid-19! A small victory indeed.

Last night we had dinner at the "Blue Willow" and the food was very good. It has changed dramatically inside and the the guidelines are very strict. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of a Malbec with our dinner. My playmate had the salmon with works and I had the meatloaf with the works. For dessert we had apple pie ala mode with coffee. All good.








After dinner we made our way over to the "Invisible Theatre" to see the play "Trumbo" Red, White and Blacklisted". It was excellent. Strict guidelines were enforced with social distancing, hand sanitizing, and mask wear at all times. The air within the theater was ionized. Entrance and Exit was enforced as well.. A very safe venue. 

Well, I had better go and get busy with Chris. Have a good Sabato, right Sweet Pea? I will chat at you later. My (chef's) dinner will be prepared on Sunday. I will be hooking up some one inch thick Pork Chops in a Mushroom gravy and my playmate will hook up some mashed potatoes and corn. Can you taste it? I know that you can, smile! If course a bottle of red will be set out to breathe. Ahhhhh!

I am JT and I approve this blog!

The coffee is a good Breakfast Blend and a second cup will be enjoyed at "Gus Balones" along with a good breakfast. It is a chilly morning here in Tucson but is going to hit the 80's today.

Sister Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris. Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

I got caught up on checking Chris's supplies today as well. I went through all of my tee-shirts today as well. I had to breakout a sweatshirt today. Brrr!

My playmate prepared homemade blueberry pancakes for dinner with sausages, eggs and coffee. We watched "Shameless" with Chris on Netflix. We are also watching the World Series.

I am caring for Chris tonight and he is resting and enjoying his supplemental drip. He also gobbled up some sweet potato pie made by Patty Labelle. It is very good and it is very close to being as good as my mom would make. My mom had a secret ingredient that made all of the difference.

We are still working on rocks. Here is my latest. Enjoy!

My playmate prepared breakfast for dinner. We enjoyed French Toast, sausages and eggs. We got it all down with plenty of hot coffee.
