Buon Martedi!  Taco Tuesday!  How are you doing? It is a nice, mostly sunny day here in Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good Italian Roast Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning.  Alexa is awake and she reminded me that Chris the iRobot will be coming out of his cradle this morning to clean the main house carpet. I asked her to play some "Contemporary Jazz" for me today.

Mia Moglie will be heading out for her weekly bridge game over on the eastside soon.

I am going to recheck my suitcase to make sure I have all I need for our short overnight staycation at DDC. We will make our way over to the DDC after my playmate returns home from her bridge game.

I am going to fire up the Power Washer to test it out on the front porch loungers, after Chris the iRobot returns to his cradle.

Well, I had better get busy. Have a good Taco Tuesday. Stay safe and listen for some Cha Chings.

Today's challenge word is (Battuta). I need to hear a good (Battuta). Do you have one for me fidanzata?

Ciao...Jessie and Elise 

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How are you doing on this Lunedi evening? Mia Moglie and I are holding our own the best we can.

My doc appointment went very well today, except for my BP was up a bit. He asked me what has been going on lately and I told him about the loss of our dear friend Sheila. He told me that this type of stress can and will always raise your BP a bit. Other than that, I can do two or three cartwheels for sure.

I was a bit frustrated that I could not use my new Power Washer today because it needed an adapter. So, I went to the hardware store and problem solved. A BP raiser, right? I will use the Power Washer early in the morning to clean some lawn furnishing.

My BP went up a bit more this evening. Come to find out my (Capo) has Covid. He has been not feeling himself now for a few days. What is going on? Wow!

My playmate prepared breakfast for dinner. We enjoyed waffles, eggs, sausages and coffee.

We have our suitcases out and packed for our staycation at Desert Diamond Casino. We will use my (player) perks for this stay. We haven't been to the (DDC) in ages. We need the break for sure. This is one of the rare times that I am not excited about going to play Keno. I just need a diversion from these past few days. This staycation is only for an overnight stay. So, wish my shorty a lot of Cha Chings!

Here are the latest rocks out in the hood. Enjoy!

Well, I had better check on my packing. Get a good night's sleep so you can be ready for Taco Tuesday. Stay safe and I will chat at you later. Thank you all for the good wishes for Sheila's family during this hard time.

Buona notte...Jessie and Elise

Buon Domenica!  How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today?

We just got back from having a good breakfast at the "Egg Connection". The food was very good, and we were hungry.

Our trek up to Gilbert, Arizona has been cancelled because we received a text from the daughter that her mom doesn't want any visitors at this time because she is overwhelmed and exhausted.

My playmate and I will be working on a photobook today if time permits. 

We will be watching the "Chiefs" play football later today. "Go Chiefs".

Here is what yesterday's Chef Day looked like. Enjoy!

I will be prepping a new rock for painting soon and my shorty is working on one.

The coffee is a good Southern Pecan Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that today will be spent in the (cucina). Yes, today is Chefs Day. My Sous Chef and I will be back in the (cucina) tossing around pots and pans. 

The menu will be "Elk Stew" loaded with Yukon Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Whole Kernel Corn. We will let it cook slowly for about 8 hours.  We will add a can of IPA to the pot to give it a kick, smile! This is going to be good. Are you drooling yet? The Elk Roast was provided by our daughter Kim and Son-In-Law Carlos. They are avid hunters. My Sous will select the proper libation for tonight's dinner.

I didn't sleep well for most of the night. I over did things yesterday in the Cactus Garden and working in the backyard. I got attacked by the Cactus and my ankle was hurting along with my knee. You need to get hazard pay when you clean out a Cactus Garden. No Joke!

Well, our Wildcats got beaten badly by Kansas State last night. I am sure that they will do better in the next game. This weekend is going to be a football weekend for sure.

Here is my playmates latest rock creation. We are both prepping new rocks for painting. Enjoy!

Did your day go as planned? It had been a busy one for us here in Tucson.

Breakfast was good at "Gus Balons" as usual. After breakfast we made our way onto the airbase to renew Mia Moglie's ID card.

We postponed the trip to Costco until tomorrow. Later we made our way to "Park Mall" to see the movie "Am I Racist", I have to tell you that it was really good.

After the movie we stopped at "Leo's to pick up some takeaway for dinner. Will there be margaritas? You better know it. 

We returned home and Mia Cognata, arrived. So that changed the events of the evening.

Here is my latest rock that we dropped off at "Gus Balons" this morning. My playmate has prepped her new rock, and I will prep mine later this evening.

Buon Pomeriggio!

Buon Pomeriggio!

How are you doing? We are good as a matter of fact we are great.

We just got back from Superior Court in downtown Tucson. The reason we went was that my (bat-shit) ex started up some trouble. I have been divorced from her now for 20 years. Wouldn't you think that it was time for her to move on? She started throwing out lies at a rapid pace and the judge had to stop her a few times. I kept my cool, I avoided eye contact with my ex. I had prepared for this for weeks now.

The outcome was in my favor and that was apparent from the start of the appearance in court. So, I blocked all communication via my phone and email. After she returned home, she sent a message before I totally blocked her. It said, "This is Round One". Unbelievable, right?

Elise got to witness firsthand and now she knows what I have been telling her over the years. I tell you I need a double Jack and Coke about right now. 

Hey, today is Chefs Day. Mia Moglie and I will be in the (cucina) preparing Spaghetti with a Meat sauce. My Sous will prepare a nice salad, and she will select the proper libation to go with the meal.

I feel like doing a cartwheel and I think I will after a few belts of Jack, smile!

Here is the latest rock in the hood. Enjoy! I will chat at you later.

We had to purchase ESPN+ so we can watch the U of A college football game this evening. They had better win tonight.

I have started my new rock, and it is going to be a difficult one. I will take it slow and easy to complete it.

We are going to hit up the "Roadhouse Cinema" tomorrow to see "Beetlejuice". We will be saying "Beetlejuice" three times for sure, smile!

Well, I had better go a grab a salad because I am starting to get hangry, smile!

I have to tell you that last night's live play at the "Invisible Theater" was outstanding. It is titled "Birds of North America". It is not just a story about a father and his daughter scanning the skies. It explores the changes and challenges we all face in our lives. They confront universal themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. A powerful, thought-provoking play that will inspire you.

We saw the movie "Reagan" yesterday and it was good, but it was biased and left quite a lot out. One of my favorite parts was that he loved jellybeans. My girlfriend Shoo Shoo knows about that. The second part that I liked about the movie is when then wall came down in Eastern Germany, because I was there when that happened.

We hit up "Total Wine and More" prior to the movie to pick up some items and libations for Chris's Memorial Celebration.

I hate to tell you, but I got (spanked) last night by Mia Moglie and my girlfriend Shoo Shoo. It was a very nice evening, and we dined on "Pollo Loco" Chicken Bowls, Pinto Beans, and a nice (Lodi) rosso. For dessert we enjoyed Pistachio Ice Cream with Chocolate Mint Cookies. Delicious. I am a little bit sore and walking funny due to the double spanking I got, but I liked it, smile!

Mia Moglie is going out to Amado later this morning to meet up with friends for lunch. It is a monthly thing.

This evening, we will be dining at "Dante's Fire" with my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. After dinner Shoo Shoo will be joining us at the "Invisible Theater" to see the live play "Birds of North America". It should be a good one.
