Buon Venerdi!  TGIF!  How are you doing today? It is a nice, sunny morning here in the valley of Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good French Vanilla Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today. I asked her to play some BB King for me today.

We received one of the items that we ordered for Chris's Memorial. We started to work on it yesterday.

We went to Park Mall yesterday to see the movie "Back to Black". It is a movie about Amy Winehouse". This is an excellent movie, and we have always loved her music. Her career was cut short at the age of 27 years old. We will be hitting up Park Mall again today to see the movie "Summer Camp". It is going to be hilarious.

I will be working on my latest rock creation today if time permits.

Hey, tomorrow is Chefs Day. Woohoo! Looking forward to it.

Here is the latest Chris Blog posting. Enjoy!

Pomeriggio!

Are you melting yet desert dwellers? It is a hot one here in Tucson. We hit the triple digit mark yesterday. Whew! It is going to be a very hot summer. Hopefully the Monsoon Season will cool things down.

Azalya is enjoying being inside Chris's house, she doesn't want to go back outside.

I prepped a rock for painting today. I will start working on it tomorrow. Mia Moglie has a prepped rock ready to be started.

We are slowly gathering items and ordering items for Chris's Memorial that will take place in the fall.

We have a staycation planned for the 11,12,13 of June. We will be using our (players) perks and we will stay at Akin Casino for two nights. We will also be visiting with our niece Sara and Matt. We meet with them for our annual dinner out. It is always a pleasure to be with them and Nils.

Well, I think I will go and watch a little TV. Mia Moglie wants to go to Michael's to do some picture frame shopping when she returns from her daily yogurt fix.

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

The coffee is a good Pacific Rim Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connection", along with a good breakfast. Alexa is awake and she gave me a nudge to remind me that today is "Chefs Day". I asked her to play some music to cook by.

Mia Moglie is almost finished with her latest rock creation. I have started mine and I will complete it soon.

We were feeling exhausted yesterday, so we hit the sheets early and I mean early. I mean between 6:30pm and 7:00pm. Unheard of. The (bar) was the topper. Whew!

I tossed and turned most of the night due to my knee was throbbing so much. I will put some ice on it shortly.

My Sous Chef and I will be preparing Cheeseburgers and Fries for dinner. The Sous will select the proper libation to go with the meal.

Hey, we watched a DVD about "Charlie Chan". It was loaned to us by my girlfriend (Nicolette). Come to find out, this was the "Charlie Chan" that we watched as kids along with my dad every Sunday morning. It brought back a lot of memories for me. Mia Moglie has never seen a "Charlie Chan" show. She is now hooked.

How is your Sabato going so far? I have to tell you I have had better.

My left knee is starting to hurt due to the load of stress that I have on me right now. It always hits my weakest point.  And yet this will pass as well. I just feel hopeless, helpless, with no purpose right now. Maybe I need a "Gin and Tonic" or three. Sounds like a plan to me.

A good thing is that tomorrow is "Chefs Day". My Sous Chef and I will be burning something in the (cucina) again, smile!

We hope that your Sabato is going your way. Stay safe. I will chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie

My playmate and I enjoyed to movie "Babes" at Park Mall yesterday. It was very funny.

We enjoyed a lovely evening at Bucky and Dena's last night. We enjoyed a fantastic meal. Afterward we played "Wizard" and Bucky became the "Wizard". Dena presented a delicious "Cheesecake" with strawberries and whip cream. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I usually take photos, but the evening flowed so well that I spaced it.

Well, I guess my "Donna Verde" got upset with me for some reason. She got really (hot) under the (bonnet). So now I need to replace the air conditioner (compressor). This service is very expensive and that is why my mood is (stressed.)  This just adds to the (stress) that I already have. The part has to be ordered and I will get her back home sometime next week. With everything else going on I didn't need this. My life is really changing and not for the good at the present time.

Here is the latest Chris Blog post. Enjoy!

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!



Did your day go well today? It has been a busy one for me and Mia Moglie, but we got through it.

We enjoyed a good breakfast at "Gus Balons" as usual. After breakfast we returned home, and we installed new sunshades on the Prius and the Donna Verde.

After that we hit up Park Mall to see the movie "I Saw the TV Glow". Let me tell you this was the strangest movie we have ever seen. It was like we were on Fentanyl or something, but we could not look away from the screen or get up and leave. Now this movie would be a very good one for the crew to talk about indeed. Really!

We picked up Chris's van from the shop today as well. It is ready to be donated to a family in need of it.

My shorty completed her latest "Covid" puzzle, and it is very nice I must say.




My playmate has hit the sheets already to read a book. I will follow her lead very soon to get back to the book that I am reading titled "Neighbors". It is very good.

We will be dropping of the Donna Verde tomorrow morning to get the air conditioner charged. I have to take care of my Donna, like I look after my girlfriends, smile!

Well, I had better get ready for my book. Get a good night's sleep so you can be ready for "TGIF". I will chat at you later.

Buona notte...Jessie and Elise

Has it cooled down yet desert dwellers? It is only going to get hotter.

Mia Moglie and I enjoyed a good Chicken Fried Rice dinner, with a couple of Jack and Cokes. We watched "Bull" on Paramount.

Earlier I spent some quiet time reading a book titled "Neighbors". It is a collection of short stories in the hood. It is very good.

Here is my shorty's latest rock creation. It is going over very well within our Rock Group.

22 MAY MIA MOGLIES LATEST ROCK CREATION



I am really feeling out of sorts today, and it has not subsided as of yet.

Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for my playmate and me. We will be picking up Chris's van from having it serviced.

I am really pleased that I have added a new member to our blog family. Her name is (Lu). Welcome aboard Lu.

I am also thankful to Bev for thinking about me to apply for a job at PCOA as an Ombudsman.  Very nice of her.

Well, I had better check on Azalya before I hit the sheets. Sleep well and I will chat at you later.

Please keep my girlfriend (Nicolette) in your prayers and thoughts. She had to have her horse put down and I know that is very sad for her.

Buona notte...Jessie and Elise
